Random Sunday
Today is the best Sunday in a very very long time! I woke up without an alarm after a very tiring day yesterday, went to dim sum with my roommate, came back and had an extremely comforting conversation with my boyfriend on Skype, got teary a few times in said conversation, read Postsecret, got teary again, listened to my favorite Chinese songs, got teary again, and now I’m blogging.
This is how everyone should spend their Sundays. no, seriously. Just staying in and doing nothing, absolute bliss.
I’m going to handball and basketball practice later with my hallmates, can’t wait 
I need to start being athletic again after five years. I can’t believe I’ve turned into this bimbo who stays away from the sun and gets all excited about makeup and shopping and not play sports.
I have also decided to hang out less with the people I’m hanging out with now. They’re really fun but they’re partying way too much, as if their sole purpose of coming to HK is just to party and I’m definitely not here for that. These two weeks of partying is enough to last me for the next two years wtf.
Let’s see..what else.
Ah what the hell let me be a bimbo AND an athlete! I already took these photos anyway so here’s a post on my favorite makeup routine.
Refer to my this makeup routine post for more basic stuff.
So this is how I use my mineral makeup. Dab some powder with the brush, then tap it into the cover and use the brush to spread it all around before applying it on face. If you want good coverage but don’t want to look over made up, I think mineral powder is amazing!
So I do this everytime I’m going to apply makeup. Wash face, moisturize (I’m writing a post on my facial routine next, god i’m so girly), apply BB cream, apply mineral powder.
Favorite eyeshadow colors ever!!! Loreal’s star kit which comes with three eyeshadows, blush and lipstick which I never use. I like the blush color too!
So I accidentally deleted the step by step pictures and only have the final result T_T
It’s super easy to apply eyeshadow though. Just put the lightest color (number 3 in my palette) all over your eyelids, then second darkest color (no. 2) all over too but not too high above the crease of your eyelids.
Then take the darkest color (no. 1) and apply it inwards on the corners of your eyes. So you sort of take the sponge applicator and dab the darkest color on the outer corner and then smudge it in. I did the same on both outer and inner corners of my eyes. Then, dab a little more gold (no. 3) in the middle to sort of create a 3D illusion (dunno whether got 3D or not but it sounds smart wtf)
Then apply your eyeliner and mascara and that’s it! My eyeliner here is a little too much and too long cause I’m going out at night.
Just use the same method but adjust the amount of eyeshadow to apply depending on what time of the day it is and what kind of event you’re going to. At night= darker, party=darker
I applied some of that second darkest color under my eyes too here.
This is for a dinner so I didn’t pull my eyeliner that far out. Used the gold eyeshadow (no. 3) for the inner parts under my eyes instead of my usual silver. These colors are my favorite cause they make my eyes look bigger than they really are! Light bright colors don’t work for me.
The flash made my makeup look heavier and more complicated than it really is but it’s just eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner! Try it
——
Chinese songs are so amazing, I wish I can sing them but I’m so bad at remembering lyrics =( I wanna go karaoke but I can’t read Chinese damn.
My favorite Chinese songs are Jay Chou’s An Jing, Wo Bu Pei (I get freaking emo when I see this music video), Pu Gong Ying De Yue Ding 蒲公英的约定 (googled the chinese words wtf), suo hao de xin fu ne 說好的幸福, aiya actually all Jay Chou’s emo songs lah wtf, Kelly Chen’s Bei Ji Xue, Karen Mok’s Sheng Xia De Guo Shi..ah can’t remember what else but these are my absolute favorites.
Know any along this genre you want to recommend? I wish I know what they’re singing though 
Send your children to Chinese schools people!

hello suet. i love reading your makeup posts, but so far i’ve only just managed to put eyeliner and mascara myself. as for the songs, yeah i get so friggin’ emo watching that wo bu pei mv as well! but the most emo jay chou song (imo) is “feng” (枫), which means maple (the leaf). and i so love sheng xia de guo shi! you should try some emo eason songs too, he’s my fav. highly recommend fu shi shan xia (富士山下) (below mount fuji), pu tao cheng shu shi (葡萄成熟时) (when grapes ripen), and bei bao (背包) (backpack).

Hi Suet Li!
Where do you get your mineral make up from? And what BB cream do you use?
I love Jay Chou songs too! Wo Bu Pei and Qing Tian being my favourite
i rmb the time when i went to secondary most of my classmates were from chinese school and they always talk about their favourite singers (chinese). I was so envy of them coz they can read chinese novels and sing chinese songs whilst i only listened to amy mastura and KRU
So i quickly got myself a chinese idol and start buying all the magazines whenever i saw his news inside. i just read and read every single page in the magazine although i duno how. after some time i roughly can guess what’s the chinese word is and out of a sudden i know how to read chinese d lol.. what a miracle hahaha..
do u sing along when u listen to those chinese songs? actually u can learn chinese very quickly by looking at the lyrics.. seriously
U didn’t have Mandarin lessons in school at all?
So you learn to speak it only with your family?
Just curious how the Malaysian education system works.
Pretty eyes!!! I’m jealous T3T Cantonese songs are nicer than Chinese songs though heh heh. Try all the Eason Chan songs <3
Hi Suet, guess u are miss out my question as u got lots comment need to reply. But I wish to know what kind of software that you use to edit ur pic in the ” Hongkong The begining post”
here’s my comment.
Hi Suet, U still look pretty with that pimple.
Can I know what kind of software you use to edit your last picture? TQ
i can’t read chinese too lol, but after watching too many idol dramas and matching the words with what they speak, i can sort of read now. it’s such a pain when us bananas go to karaoke =(
I <3 Chinese songs too…they are so good at making people emo with their songs!!!!! And yes, it sucks to go to karaoke cause you can’t remember the lyrics and can’t read the words. =(( Esp when you thought maybe can try since I was able to sing at home but when u r in karaoke, you only remember two lines of the chorus!!! And you had to change songs because no one wants to listen to that two line of chorus u know. =(((
i like 我会好好的，and i like他和他的故事
it’s good
May i know which mascara brand that you use to apply ur bottom eyelashes?? It look so niceeee *thumbs up*
hey suet,
may i know which mosturizer ure using.
have been looking around for a good one.
thx =)
cool!! i love your makeup! i’ve just a pallette with similar colours. am so gonna try it out!
gosh~ i typed so many errors in my previous comment. lol. *just bought a palette..
>.<
love ur blog! hehe
Hey, jus wanna ask how do you put mascara on the lower lash? I tried it but it was all over my lower eye.
I like Pu Gong Ying De Yue Ding and Suo Hao De Xin Fu Ne a lot too! BTW this post appears on my Jay Chou google alerts.. =D
I also cant read chinese lo, so mahfan whn go to karaoke, wanna select song oso so need ppl to read for me!!
i am from chinese school! chinese-educated, both elementary and high school! and yes, i will send my kids to chinese school!!!!
p.s. alot of people complain that chinese school grads have bad english and malay, but i beg to differ lor! *i write monthly beauty column in English, used to contribute column to Chinese daily, and do copywriting in Malay!!!! so ppl send your children to chinese school pls! hahahaha so hard sell
p.p.s. love ur makeup! and i love mineral makeup too!
I like Jay Chou too, his songs are very very nice, no thanks to his lyricist Fang Wen Shan (方文山) but probably Jay rumbled all over it. I’ve seen someone making fun of Qi Li Xiang 七里香 with rude remarks all over it. I loved that song, but somehow this came out wtf.
I’m currently into Fish Leong and David Tao. Hui Hu Xi De Tong 会呼吸的痛， Fly Away, and Yong Qi 勇气 cause I’m going through a roller coaster time now. I like a verse when she sang “我虽然心太急，更害怕错过你” which meant “I know I seem desperate, but that’s because I’m afraid of missing out on you”
And for David Tao I would suggest a new song called An Lian 暗恋 that means being secretly in love with someone. When I heard it I felt like this is exactly what I feel. I liked it so much it became a blog post for me.
Just sharing a few songs. And yes, I’ll definitely send my kids to a Chinese school ^_^ If i have them…eventually.
1.Stephanie Sun’s “Wo bu nan guo 我不難過”was one of my favorite. When i was young i thought sun zi bing fa is somewhat related to sun yan zi fml
2.I am starting to like your blog how?
what BB cream are you using??? can u mail me the details?
What is BB cream anyway? It seems everyone is into mineral make-up routine. I am using Lancome liquid foundation for almost 3 years now. It serves me good, perfect colour with my skin (I hate when foundation creates 2 colours tone, you know, neck lain kaler… muka lain kaler.. macam badut sarkas!). And it covers my imperfection macam blood vein laaa…. jerawat la.. scars here and there… pergh… macam flawless gitu.
But for you suet li, no make -up still cun melecun la.
Hi sweatlee.
Regarding of your entry “bittersweet”, i understand how you feel of being apart. LDR is kinda tough i would say, when u need someone else , he/she couldn’t be there for you, when u feel down and there wouldn’t have a shoulder to cry on. T.T ive been ever been tru dis omfg. Not only you feel that way but most people do. anyway cheer up
life is life, always been ups and downs. Good luck. =)
