The Wonderful World of Lashies !

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy lil Chink) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:55:00 +0000

Well since Tokyo has started the ball rollin' again on our previously r.i.p blog, thought i'll do a follow up on her post. For people who know us , will know we are passionate advocates for fake eyelashes.Well or we have been for the last couple of months leading up to my wedding.

OOooh my wedding! That's something else i should write about. It was just lovely! Lovely i tell you :) Couldn't be happier with how things turned out. Well cept maybe for the flowers but even that was pretty ok.But let me not get distracted...back to the sorta relevant story at hand.

You see we figured that being such talented, intelligent do it all, domestic goddess and villain fighting she-ra sorta girls, we must conquer the art of applying fake eyelashes. For in the world of make up ( good as we are at it, bless our god given talents ;) Applying lashies remained the only elusive skill we've had yet to master.Untill of course we realized the truth. We were using the wrong sorta glue!!! A good glue makes all the difference girls..and boys. So if you thought you couldn't put on pretty lashies to get a hot date, think again ! Just go out there, invest in a good glue and you're on your way.

Oh girls...go dig up some pics of us in lashies with before and after comparisons. Just talking about this marvelous creation is not enough. We need to show them how spectacular it really is. Lol...as darling Jukebox is prone to saying..A girl can feel oh so naked without a pair of trusty lashies ;) And don't we know it. Doesn't matter if you're having a bad hair day...just slap on a pair of these , flutter those baby browns, blues or whateva shade they may be and things just look better.Though it might be caused by blurred vision too, if you were clumsy with the glue and got some in your eyes. But that's another story altogether. Hehehehe...

Flutter Them Eyelids!

Get Ready To Flutter Your Eyelids!

Angel Eyes By Tsuya Tsuya
Volumising and Lengthening Fomula
* Its like mascara but it uses Dry Fibre that lengthens your Lashes, making it look fuller and longer. It basically gives the same effect as using fake lashes, only more natural looking. It seriously works wonders.If you think you can't deal with putting on fake lashies than this is definately the way to go, apply it just like Mascara.Then sit back and watch your lashes grow, grow, grow! *
Cost: RM159.00 (RM 79.00 for each you will need to get both volumizer and lengthening)

Various Brands of Fake Eyelashes (From: Korea, Japan,China, Australia & Malaysia)
Here's my Fake Eyelashes Collection aka Lashies ( That's what me and the girls refer to them affectionately)
Its a growing Collection =P don't be fooled by the amount you see above.I solemnly promise you that its getting bigger :)
* Totally Re-useable even the cheap arse ones can be reused.The Trick is to handle it carefully when Removing and Storing it Properly back into it's case. Though sometimes the cheap lashies give way faster and it's only good for one use, obviously the make is different when using cheaper lashies compared to expensive branded lashies. Truly the cheap ones work like a charm and gives just as good effect as the expensive ones (like Shu Uemura & MAC), cheaper for the pocket and more reason to buy more than just a few to have a variety of it. Long, short, coloured, criss cross, dramtic, thick there's a whole lot to choose from and all give a different look so just like clothes you can use what suits your mood best*
Cheap arse Lashies Cost: RM3.00 - RM10.00
Expensive Branded Lashies Cost: Starting Price the least usually is RM30.00 and Above

Eyelash Fix By Koji
(Eyelash Glue)
*This a New Brand that I'm trying out. Haven't used it yet so I can't say if it's as good as by Old Brand Lash Glue that I loved so much (Don Eyelash Glue). Something that you should NEVER EVER DO is Stinge on The Glue. Unless of course you don't mind one teensy Important Factor. Like the fact you want your eyelashes to fall out like mid-way on a date or a nite out.Just imagine the horror of your eyelashes just suddenly Shedding in the middle of Dinner, Exactly Not such a Pretty Sight. SO the MORAL of the Story is that you Need to Spurlge on this! Not like its gonna cost a bomb anyways. I get my glue from trusty Sasa's, yes they have a pretty good wide variety of different brands and products to suit your diff price range and wants. It comes in diff sizes and are also available in tube/bottle form which uses a brush and plastic applicator.*
Cost: RM9.50
Cost of Diff Ranges: RM 10.00 and Above

A Close Up Look at Ever Growing Collection, I even have a totally hip box to keep it in, Thanks to my Darling sister! =)

Close Up Look at the Lashie Glue
* This is A New Product available at Sasa's, Now it even comes in Black! Yeah so I just had to give it a whirl. Hopefully it will save me time on applying thick eyeliner =p It is usually available in Clear form, I guess it's a better option to go with a Clear form for first time users, just incase you apply it messily it wont be seen coz it dries up clear*

Till Next Time Darlings! ;)

Shoe-pping Spree

noreply@blogger.com (JukeBox) — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 14:48:00 +0000

No one believed when we confessed to the world of our addiction. Everyone took it lightly, brushing it off thinking, “All girls claim to be shopping addicts” in a know-it-all sort of way.

Here’s proof, and we are not proud of it. REALLY!

It took us a grand total of TWO days to accumulate this amount of shoes *hides face*

Didn’t I just complain about having too many pairs of shoes? Yes I know, I brought this upon myself...I see you going tsk* tsk* tsk* whilst shaking your head, and I don’t even want to picture mother dear’s reaction...

But, Hey! Who would be crazy enough to give up on shoes this cute!!

Well, at the very very very least..they were on sale.

Sweet Scents

noreply@blogger.com (JukeBox) — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 14:02:00 +0000

What do you think is the best smelling scent in the world? No, I’m not talking about perfumes. I’m talking along the lines of, the fresh smell of rain, or the fragrant of mom's cooking, or even the whiff of paint, I see some going, "yucks!"... but I’ll bet every one would go “AAAAaaaahh”… in unison when I say I think the best smelling scent in the whole wide world is the aroma of freshly baked pastries, dessert, cookies, sugary delights of all sorts...and maybe coffee...

Lucky us. Under this roof we get yummy smelling, sugar laden, freshly baked desserts every other day. So, even though Chief Chef Grumpy Pants is ever so grumpy, we can’t complain much as she really knows her stuff! She spoils us rotten (when she is not TOO grumpy) WEE!! Yes..Fat we will be…voice in the distance, “More cloth! More cloth!”

These are what we indulged in for the week..yes, ONE week…Believe it! (in Ripley’s host, Dean Cain’s voice)

Peach and Cherry Danishes

Custard Cherry Puffs

(the hole in the middle is caused by me *blush*)

Crème Brûlée

Meringue with Caramelized Apples

(apples not shown here)

MMMMmmm...~I'm lovin' it

King's Park by Night

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy lil Chink) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 23:33:00 +0000

King's Park is this park (duh !) which is located right in Perth city itself. Its really quite pretty and because of its vantage location, has a lovely view of the whole Perth city. We just happened to take a night drive there last night. Totally unplanned though. Despite the fact Cheryl...our dear lil JukeBox has been playing that same song again and again...the one of wanting to go there. You see...she hasn't set foot there since her arrival in the quaint ol' city of Perth.

Anyways, we initially wanted Gelare's. 1/2 price Tuesdays! Woo hoo! But by the time we did decide to get going..we were craving more. Yes we still wanted ice cream, but add to that burgers, sodas and chips.Mmmm...can you just smell the lovely grease in that combo.Promptly the faint echoes of a familiar melody started playing ( if just in our heads ) Pa Da Pap Pap Pap...I'm lovin' it = ) So off to McD's we went. After breezing through the drive thru, as drive thru is the only way to go when you are clad in over sized hoodies and sweat pants.Undoubtedly, we weren't looking our best, needless to say.Its cold la...and all fashionistas need to take a break once in a while you know. Its practically a full time job trying to coordinate cute outfits all the time...Pbbbbbth! You go try .Unless you're a boy...then please do not try to don on pink lil mini pink tees with fluffy poodles on em'in an attempt to look cute...because it is NOT CUTE...i repeat..NOT CUTE FELLA !Peter Andre...please take note of above warning.

So after securing our much lusted after grub, Allan calmly suggested if we wanted to see King's Park by Night. To which we agreed upon in shows of loud whooping and banshee like screaming.Yes...isn't he a lucky guy. Living with such sophisticated mademoiselles who can burst one's eardrums at a moment's notice. Bet you're just waiting for your partner in crime to come back huh Mon...Brandon touches down on OZ soil on the 24th this month btw See you soon Branbrum=) We didn't take any pics as it was unplanned.Pity. The night was really pretty and there were tourists all around, curiously inspecting the park at night. Interesting.

We headed on to the famous make out point. Where Cheryl tried her best to spy on couples to no avail. After no success there, she repeatedly dropped hints for us to go to a more vantage view point.

Example:

" OOhhh...what a lovely view of the water from here and those trees look so pretty in the moonlight" said Tania.

" No...not nice...All the views are blocked from here. I wanna chop down those trees! But on the other side the views are better...." said Cheryl

So after about 4 or 5 conversations ending like this, Allan packed us up and drove to the front portion of King's Park, where we ate the remainder of our McD's and patted our satisfied tummies.

The End

Rocking It ...Tokyo Style...

noreply@blogger.com (Tokyo) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 06:01:00 +0000

Right I guess its time for me to sort out my welcoming post or introduction into our new found obsession..besides the obvious shopping disease...(Duh!) I’m a little annoyed that I’m going last...out writing these curtin graduates doesn’t really seem like a possible feat ...bloody cows *chases them around the house with a frying pan* they cudnt just bloody well pen out a simple post... *sighs at the newbies*

I’ve also spotted that I’ve been referred to Chief Chef Grumpy Pants..Yin Yin and Denise... so I guess then everyone knows my name or nicknames ... I for one am not at all fond of Chief Chef Grumpy Pants.... Let me repeat that again ... NOT AT ALL FOND OF IT...

*Gives Tania (Crazy lil Chink) the EVILS *

So let me get things Straight ... *Stands up guiltily* My name is Denise (aka Yin Yin / Twisted Angel / Tokyo) and I am a SHOPAHOLIC ..There I’ve finally fessed up to it... Happy Now?! But truthfully I think I’ve got the mildest syndrome compared to the other 2 nutters...

Let me explain...

I’m also the one responsible for ushering the 2 out of the shops when it’s time to get goin and of course those sly cows don’t make it an easy task... Like the addicts they are they usually come out kicking and screaming... and I mean that literally heh heh heh...

Anyways... back to more about Moi ... (Now Bow Down to My Greatness and Kiss my Bootylicious Bum ) MUAHAHAHA...

I recently just got back from London (after studying there for 2 years) and flew into Perth the very Next day after arriving at Malaysia.. I LUVVVV travelling but my first true passion is FOOD...it excites me to the very essence of my being..heh heh heh am I being too corny... oh well.. as long as u get my drift... I hope to Open my very own Restaurant & Food Mag in the near Future and soon after Maybe even a Hotel....

Ok...what was I saying again... ahhh... the girls say....

Apparently I shop like a guy... I see .. I like.. I buy.. and usually I’m most interested and distracted only when there is something in the shop that I fancy.. if so the girls would then not hear me complaining about how they are taking a ridiculous amount of time in just ONE SHOP... *gasps in disbelief*

I am also a Huge Car enthusiast ...and I used to be the President of MMC (Malaysia Mini Club) that owns a Classic Mini that is totally one of a kind and has been restored to its 1968 peak with a modern twist and all that bollocks.. Another thing I can’t get enough of is TATTOOS ...ohhhhh they are just so addictive as well.. and they look sooo HOTTTT on guys...

F.Y.I - I'm totally Single now....so get a number and wait in line... *winks* and if you have tattoos and piercings I might just let you cut the queue..HEH HEH HEH...

To move things along quicker my other interests includes; jap anime, music, bugging my older sister, calling the Cheryl “kuk fedek” , cooking up a storm and well the list just goes on and on...

Well I’m knackered and Totally Stoked about the blog...I do hope everyone digs the 3 different styles of writing that we each have ... and IF NOT... WELL TOO BAD...SO SAD... YOU STINK ANYWAYS... Muahahhahahaahahaa.....

Juke Box- Live Entertainment Unit

noreply@blogger.com (JukeBox) — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:06:00 +0000

My turn! My turn! *waves in excitement super enthusiastically*

I am Cheryl, also known as JukeBox.
It seems that I’m always singing or humming… in the kitchen…in the car…whilst eating…whenever, where ever ~me I want a hula hoop
I tend totalkveryfasttoo…and even faster when I’m excited, maybe spitting a lil’ while I’m at it! Oh, I’m also able to reach up to 1000 decibels when I’m excited! *blush* not so lady-like are we...

A very random and honest person I am.
I’m your typical girly girl, love love love (please read accordingly for full effect) butterflies, the colour pink, glitter, cosmetics, clothes, fairy tales, fairies, chick-flicks, FOOD, shoes, bags, more clothes, more shoes, more bags…you get the picture.

That's where all 3 of us comes in common.. Do you see seriousness of the problem, being shopping addicts?

Let me illustrate my dilemma…I’m to leave Australia in November after completing my degree, and how am I to fit all my stuff into a bag? 30kgs! That is mad! CRAZY (1000 decibels) I tell you! *sob* I need a miracle! Let me see, as of now I have, ermms…exactly 12 pairs of shoes and not to mention my magically expanding wadrobe..Oh! Speaking of which…I want that pink dress I saw last week and I need heels and new bag and pretty accessories and pretty pink stuff and jeans and...list goes on...
What?! They ARE essentials… *sigh* I’m a lost case

The initial purpose of this blog is to show-off our massive amount of beloved please note, BELOVED apparels and hope that you will help us with our shopping obsession/disorder and lift us off the problem of zilch wadrobe space (or in my case, baggage space. Still can’t believe it..FREAKING 30kgs!!!). Hopefully a pretty piece or two might catch your eye…But be warned; we might not part with it willingly.

A random tidbit: We, for one have good taste *wink*

Crap, Im taking too long to come up with this lousy post…so, before I end it, I want thank Allan, “I’ll (insert random word) you”, Tania, “I want My Little Pony! Denise, “…….you kuk-fedek” and Brandon Tan Bee Boo for making me feel so at home in Australia, making the trauma of leaving home 99.9% better. Also, not forgetting Datuk DonSexy and Datin PamelaPretty that cares for me like their very own, can never thank you enough *Big Hugs and Sayangs all around*

I’m so blessed~

Let the festivities begin...!

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy lil Chink) — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 10:40:00 +0000

Hello everybody...My name is Tania Tan. * Hello Tania Tan * ( That by the way can either be the chorus of our friendly public ,but seeing as we may not have any at the moment...we can call those the voices i hear in my head) Yes...apparrently there is reason as to why i may sometimes come across crazy, as Allan likes to say.

Denise/YinYin ( Chief Chef Grumpy Pants ) who by the way is me iddy biddy widdle sister has declared we need to write this intro about ourself post before we go any further. Since she is the only non newbie in our little blog escapade, for now her word goes. That and the fact I want her to cook dinner tonight...mwuahahaha.Oh and Cheryl ( who is such a darling and almost as crazy and loud...she's practically family)is the girlfriend of our iddy biddy cuddly wuddly widdle babi brother.That's how the 3 of us are related. We happen to be living under the same roof now in Perth. Its a real cracker of a nutter house = ) Not like your normal regular kinda household.If the 3 of us aren't enough to turn it upside down there's even our crazy dogs.

Ok back to topic...i often tend to go astray as you may come to learn.Purpose of this post...Talk about me...hmmm...Let's see...love the colour Pink , Purple, Black , Silver , Gold and White.But just that much more passionate about Pink and Purple.I am a self confessed incurable shopaholic and it remains to this day my drug of choice. Retail Therapy is my happy pill.I'm so far gone that even accompanying people shopping for even the most random things or buying others stuff gives me a high.Yup...if you need to shop...i'm your girl. I should also mention that we're super at getting the best bargains and buys.Love the challenge of it.Shopping without caring about anything is for amateur shoppers.Hehehehe...

Infact ..initially the idea of this blog came about because we've amassed hordes and hordes of treasures. Beauties i tell you. Things we couldn't resist buying but have never used. That's why we're addicts you see. It has indeed reached such a stage. So from time to time you might see a pretty thing or two which you could make your very own. Though this blog really looks to becoming about everything and nothing all at once. Don't get too confused or take anything too seriously. Sit back, relax, have a laugh or two.The very least is you might be entertained by it.Let's just go with the flow hey.So put up your legs(..tentacles...pincers...hooves...i don't want to appear that i'm only catering to human readers..All creatures welcome here ) and enjoy the ride.

You're now officially welcomed to the Cheap Trick Addict blog.

Oh i almos forgot...As a byline...I love Mon Mon, animals, talking too loudly, my family and shiny things. Obsessed with shoes, handbags ,clothes and owning my very own elaborately huge room sized walk in wadrobe.I would love to be reborn as a kick ass empress that rules the universe from a far off galaxy where the sky is pink and nights are purple. I would forever be slim despite the mountains of ice cream i would eat and everyone would vote me most wonderful ruler or it would be the gallows for them.I'm getting tired of typing...there's just too much to say...you'll just have to keep coming back for more I'm afraid. Or at least please do.. ;) Company is always good.So toodles for now ...I gotta go paint me toenails and write yet another shopping list.

Sugar Rush

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy lil Chink) — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 07:41:00 +0000

What do you get when you leave 3 bored girls in a fully equipped kitchen? No…you do not necessarily get a sumptuous 12 course classic Sunday night dinner. Well not if it was Cheryl and me at least.( For the record we are good cooks too…but our cuisine is a little bit off the beaten track and we do not conform to normality as much) Good thing there was Chief Chef Grumpy Pants steering the way.

After much contemplation…I think it took us a whole of 3 seconds to decide on creating lovely girly coloured icing cupcakes. Making them was lots of fun…though I’ll have to admit it the eating part was double the fun. Chief Chef Grumpy Pants certainly had her hands full though…what with faulty equipment and the two of us trying to sabotage the end products at every turn. Much to all our relief…the cupcakes turned out splendidly good.

So good that it was gobbled up in no time at all …thanks to Allan’s workmates, Uni and us of course ! We don’t mean to tout our own horn ( ok ..fine we do !!! haha) but by golly those were some awesome sugary treats. Worth every calorie if you ask me. To top it off…they didn’t even look half bad. Though the later ones started going off to a more abstract take on cake decorating.

Here are some pics to prove it too. Just in case there was any doubt that besides being utterly intelligent, talented and gorgeous, we can also kick ass in the kitchen. We so rock!Like we are so totally awesome…we’re jealous of ourselves! Ok like seriously…we are. Hehehehe…alrighty…will stop with the self adulation for now and get back to topic.

This entry is dedicated to all the eggs, flour, and sugar we used in the making of these delectable desserts. On a side note,if you want to get your hands on these wickedly good desserts…give us a yell. We might be able to make it happen.

Under Construction!!
