Eyeliner

Nurul, simpan eyeliner kau tu baik-baik. Ayah kau tu karang kalau nak melukis, dia main pakai je apa yang dia jumpa!

Trans - Nurul, put away your eyeliner in a safe place. When Ayah wants to draw, he will just use whatever he finds!

Ok Ma.

Come to think of it, it IS a bloody pencil.

We'll see if this solitary eyeliner would spawn other face-painting apparatus. I am, for sure, will need to buy one of those cute little sharpeners.

Oh and in case you're wondering, I am utilizing it almost on a daily basis. I never thought that poking a semi-blunt pencil dangerously close to my eyeballs can be fun. Well not fun, but I like the result. It helps to cover the fact that I am a bumbling idiot without any grace whatsoever prone to trip over an imaginary loose pavement while walking on a perfectly even tarmac surface (and of course, countless times of spilling water and food over myself). If I were to stand still without moving (I was about to type that the only time I am still is when I am asleep, but I am sure many long-suffering friends will take pleasure in proving me wrong), maybe some people could be tricked into thinking that I am a smoky beauty equipped with confident feminine grace (yeah, dream on, I know).

Poor them.

Oh well.

A girl's gotta eat.

I'm glad you like it :.)

You'll see, one fine day we'll make a real woman of you yet, ha ha!

Hugs from London.

M

P.S. Next step has got to be either lipstick or a skirt, you choose ;.)

Yeah, perhaps after this I will no longer stare at you while you apply your make up while we have breakfast, as I'd be busy painting my face as well!

Am not sure about wearing a skirt, yet. Go slow will ya? I am a sensitive soul, hehe.

I can maybe handle a discreet lipstick, and not one of them bright red ones! They scare me shitless.

Enjoy the unpredictable weather of London luv! So do you feel any difference since Boris worryingly became Mayor?

Blusher is fun too. Mainly because of the brush. The softer it is, the better.

Then, your ma would have to add the brush in her list of things to be kept away from your dad (in case he uses the brush to paint).

hahaha! now that's a good one chech =P

Fatin said...

Exactly, the idea of poking one's eyes with the pencil has put me off from doing it!

magenta said...

Aha! You have acquired the magic stick too. I've become an eyeliner addict since the day my friends decided to give me an eyeliner as a birthday gift last year.

And hey, I'm a bumbling idiot too. But I don't think I look like one. During my interview semalam I ter-banged my knees under the table loudly, tripped over a chair while I was leaving and blurted out, "I'm sorry, I'm clumsy!" They just laughed at me. Nasib baik they have a sense of humor.

Fatin,

The idea is to avoid poking your eyes while you're doing it *wink*

Magenta,

Alas, a kindred spirit! Every time I spill water while trying to drink from a glass I will repeat this mantra, 'I have a degree I have a degree I have a degree.' Once I ate this cake with white powdery stuff on it and my friend took a look at my face and said, 'you look like something had just exploded near your mouth.' Not exactly my idea of being sexy.

My magic stick's also a gift. It was given to me by the Tallest Dane in the World (Maja, let me have some fun ok) as a going home present or some feeble excuse like that (to cover up her plot to girlify me). I honestly don't know why I put up with her.

OK lah, truth is, I had been ranting for sometime that I wanted to get one but the make up section of a store is a really intimidating place for me. I don't know which brand, or type, is good. If you want advice on buying pencil colour then I would suggest Derwent but God help me these things really have me stumped.

I reckon she just wanted me to shut up *wink*

Anyhoo, enough about me, how did the interview go?

mlj said...

Weather's been great for around5 days now, believe it or not! All summery, people in shorts, skirts, tanktops and sun glasses.. Loving it!

Yes - Boris has me very scared. No more high density housing, but rather family homes (but no greenbelt developments either, which I guess is good..). Wonder how he's planning on doing this. No more tall buildings either. Seems... so conservative.

But actually, what has me more, well, astounded, is that the BNP's highest scoring profile got 130,000 votes.

Re: that eyeliner..
"...as a going home present or some feeble excuse like that (to cover up her plot to girlify me)."

And here I thought I was being a good friend. Hrmpf.

magenta said...

Hahaha. Met a pretty girl who was just as clumsy as I was once. She accidentally threw her fork in the curry pot (you know the one they have at mapley- a huge kawah for curry) because she was so nervous on her first date. I thought she was charming! Hopefully some people will find my clumsiness a charming and an endearing quality as well. (hahaha..I wish.)

Your friend was smart in picking an eyeliner as a first step. I vote for a subtle lipstick next. Hehe.

The interview went ok I thought, but I won't know the results until late June or early July but I'll remain optimistic till then. And, welcome back! (Haha..a bit late in wishing but..what the heck.)

zureen said...

Aha! another eyeliner addict (plus Magenta, too).

they just transform those sleepless eyes into a very defined, mysterious look i can't explain..haha..can't go out without it..

mlj,

5 days! Summer has finally arrived! Bet it's gonna start raining when I get back. Murphy's Law.

It's raining now here. I love the smell of rain, or rather the smell of the heat from the tarmac rising. Proper tropical rain, ahh..

Maybe he seems so conservative because he IS a Tory? No more tall buildings eh? So how about those proposals for Stratford? Bet all the architects who have their fingers in that pot are worried now.

BNP, just like our National Front here in Malaysia, scares me.

magenta,

I can only hope that my clumsiness is viewed as endearing by my mates. Last Sunday I practically walked into a glass sliding door as I thought my friend had left it open after she entered the house. Some friend. Huh.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for the result of your interview!

I am eating so much since I landed!

zureen,

It does exactly that doesn't it? Calling it the magic stick is actually very apt.

Since I only have one magic stick, I don't think I merit the title 'addict' yet =)

Fatin said...

That's the hardest part when you can't really see where the tip of the pencil is even using a mirror, argh!!! Me so not woman! I can't even accept the idea of wearing contact lens or mascara. I love my eyes, don't touch my eyes!
