Okay so to be honest, here are a few reasons why I’ve been delaying doing a makeup tutorial.
1. No time. I’m not the kind of person who wakes up when I have no plans WTF. So usually I tend to sleep until the last minute when I’m due for something then wake up in a panic, slap on makeup and run out of the house (usually without any food) So tell me where got time to slowly put on step by step leisurely take photos all.
2. No skill. I’ve known this my whole life but obviously I didn’t wanna admit it wtf. I know how to put on makeup. I know what needs to be done but that’s not to say I do it well or skillfully. Like most things in life, I do enough to get by and to look okay. But I’m definitely nowhere near the caliber of all those Youtube beauty vloggers or even people like Cheesie or Suet. You’ll see why later. So how can simply call myself pro and ask people to learn how I do makeup.
But since you all asked, Imma just show you how I do my makeup. Not even how cos I don’t have specific techniques to show you. Just telling you what I do. Ugly or ineffective don’t scold me!
3. Look like shit WTF. I have newfound respect for beauty bloggers after taking photos for this post. How do you hold your makeup pencil and put it on your face while gripping your camera and taking photos simultaneously!?!? Some more I notice most of them already look quite pretty before they even start applying makeup whereas I look like a shit bucket without the bucket.
Anyway without further ado, here’s how to look like.. Fourfeetnine wtf.
(I won’t be going through what products I use so please refer here for a list of my makeup products)
First of all, pop in those enlarging / color contact lens. Most people go for Geo lenses or Super Nudy or whatever I see on other people’s blogs. But I have very sensitive eyes (got night vision after all #insidejoke) so I stick with Acuvue Define daily lenses. Not as enlarging or dramatic as Geo lenses but good enough and best that I can throw away after every use.
First step, start off with a freshly washed face. Put on your moisturizer and sunblock first of course before your foundation/BB cream/whatever you’re more comfortable using. This one and concealer all no need to teach la cos my technique is literally slap on the foundation and use a sponge to wipe it all over my face WTF.
Good golly I scared myself too wtf. This is me with just foundation on and my signature flowerhorn forehead.
My arsenal.
For nice even double eyelids (refer to two pictures ago for shittily uneven lids) use eyelid tape! Actually you have two other options – eyelid glue and double eyelid string.
I actually already have double eyelids but I don’t like that one is thicker than the other. Also I’d like them both to be thicker overall because usually when I put on eyeliner and lashes, I look like I got single eyelids -_-
Anyway eyelid tape, although a bit obvious if you don’t distract with makeup layered on top, works best for me. Double eyelid string (which I think you can get from minimaos not sure if still got now) is the most subtle but sometimes doesn’t hold the crease for me maybe cos my original crease is too deep I dunno.
Just use whatever works best for you ah!
There you go more even eyelids. Also remember to fill in your eyebrows. Use brown if you have black hair and blond pencil if you have light or brown hair. If you have red…use Magic Markers WTF. (I dunno never had red hair)
If you have really light hair, you can use eyebrow mascara to further lighten your brows to match your hair too.
Then choose your eyeshadow! I usually go for gold or bronze or pink cos you can’t go wrong with them! And my makeup skills really suck lo even if don’t apply properly cannot tell *wise
Btw this eyeshadow palette has two layers to it damn good right! It also cost all of RM30 (USD10) because it’s fake MAC WTF *cheapo. Got it at the night market in Malacca I’m not very particular with eyeshadow brands as long as the color nice and pigment bright enough can already.
I chose bronze. I usually just put on one color between my eye creases and eyelid because if I extend more than that I won’t know where to stop WTF. Or how to blend -_- If I let myself go, the color will reach my eyebrows and beyond fml.
See what I mean about looking shitty in makeup process?? I look like Gollum here T___T
Apparently some men like watching their wives put on makeup for a night out. I don’t believe it.
Oh sorry after eyeshadow, line the top of your eyes with black eyeliner. I use gel eyeliner cos that’s the most lasting for me.
Then go over it with liquid eyeliner so it’s sharper and more precise.
Don’t forget to draw a wing at the end! For maximum cute effect wtf.
Then fake lashes! I usually use these ones for day use. Quite natural and not too dramatic. Besides I always suspect I look like a bat or a moth with thick lashes WTF.
Apply glue on the spine liberally. If it’s your first time, buy the glue that comes out white but then dries to clear. Even if you make a mess out of it, not so easy for people to see the mistakes.
Mine is called Fix-It can get it from Sasa.
Then just whack the lash on wtf. Try not to suffer too much while doing it.
It takes a bit of practice but the easiest way for me is to first measure where the lash starts and ends by putting it against my eye. Then after I know where it starts (somewhere in the middle of my eye), I put on the glue and hold the starting of the lash and place it on the middle of my eye. Then after that’s stuck down, I move my thumb and forefinger to the end of the lash and push the end of the lash down to stick at the corner of my eye.
I hope that was easy to understand -_-
Lashes make a lot of difference huh!
Then get a gold or bronzy eyeliner pencil.
And line the bottom of your eyes, especially near the inside of your eyes.
Some gyarus use white eyeliner for this but I think it looks a bit outdated and Maiko said white eyeliner is more for a childish look so I was right! wtf.
Gold eyeliner on bottom lids.
Ok I show you something damn scary! Remember first step is to put on contact lens? I took off one lens to scare the shit out of you wtf. See the huge difference contacts make to looking cuter?
(This is also why I’ll never do Lasik. Do already cannot wear contacts and my irises need severe help in the size department wtf)
Now put on mascara on your lower lashes. I always use a base coat cos I think it provides a lot more volume.
You can either put on fake lower lashes or use your liquid eyeliner to draw on lashes yourself! Ringo taught me this wan credit goes to her for being so cheating clever.
Then blusher.
Don’t have a technique for this either. Most of the time I just smile and color on the apples of my cheeks.
Cover flowerhorn forehead with bangs and good to go!
Side view.
Sorry about the bathroom slippers WTF.
Used to be very insecure if my bangs were too short cos I damn paranoid about my gigantic forehead wtf. But now I prefer if they’re shorter and pushed to the side. Like cuter and cleaner liddat!
Feel like some people will say my double eyelids too fake or too thick or what -_- Or my makeup sucks monkey backside don’t deserve to blog a how-to post. Actually I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything wrong wtf. But I like ah! This is just how I do it but feel free to share if you do it differently or there’s a better or more efficient way..
The older I get, the more I hate Chinese New Year wtf.
I’m thoroughly convinced that all this time I’ve been looking at things through rose-tinted (geddit geddit) glasses wtf.
The best things about Chinese New Year used to be a break from school, new clothes and angpaus.
But now that I’m grown, I don’t have a break besides the two measly public holidays, unless I take leave.
I don’t have time to go CNY shopping anymore *wails (and besides I shop all year round anyway so the novelty has worn off)
And angpaus somehow don’t seem as exciting anymore (either it’s because I’m working…or I’m reaching Nirvana WTF). Although thankfully nobody has seemed reluctant to give me angpaus yet because I’m so old wtf.
And let’s not get into the massive jams back to Penang, the massive jams in Penang, and the massive irritation from waiting around and rushing around -_-
Btw speaking of waiting around and jams, think of picking up this deal from Milkadeal.
RM65 instead of RM100 for AAM Basic Card Membership [35% OFF]
You never know when you might need it. If I had a car I’d totally buy it wtf.
Anyway random photos from the most hated time of the year. Didn’t take many actually, just random ones from times when I remembered to.
My love – the person who picks a fight with a waiter over mosquitos in the restaurant WTF.
Me. It was very cold wtf.
Very nice photo of the Parents Ooi. God I’m talented.
Me with Mumsy and my Sum Yee.
Can you believe I didn’t buy any new clothes at all for Chinese New Year but still had a week’s worth of new clothes to wear WTF. I have a bad habit of shopping and not wearing clothes -_-
Ok fine for you eagle eyes I wore this dress to take pics for an advertorial wtf but doesn’t count cos I wore it for ten minutes and the whole time I was sitting on my bed! It’s the same as wearing a dress to see if it fits before you buy it *defensive
Fat Her’s new shoes frm Skechers hahahahaa. Apparently good for his back or something.
He forgot to take out the Shape ups tags WTF.
Removing it in silent shame wtf.
Mumsy and Sum Yee hanging out by the pool.
By hanging out I mean hanging on to the side of the pool for dear life while feebly kicking their legs WTF.
Hahahahaha okla only for my mother. Dunno why she got water phobia but still die die wanna change into swimsuit and go into the pool only to cling on to the edge and never move wtf.
Makeupless me. Tired already from yelling at her to put her head under the water WTF.
(also sick sigh this is the 2nd Chinese New Year I’ve been sick 🙁 I already amateurly painted over my eyebags here with Meitu Xiuxiu and I still look like ten kinds of shit :()
(ok fine I had eyebrows on ten layers of sunblock on)
Popped blood vessels from learning how to juggle a football from Fayth 😀 Before I used to think I had 1% sports genes in my body but Fayth said I picked it up relatively quickly! So maybe I have 2% sports genes (or maybe Fayth is being nice)
With Fat Her and Fat Her’s light-reactive glasses.
Then got lion dance! This was the view from the pool where we were.
But what I liked better was looking at the enthralled faces of all the ang mo kids who lived in the building 😀
Lion dance performed by sweaty Indian guys WTF damn muhibbah lo seriously! I think Penang is by far the most racially harmonious and peaceful place in Malaysia <3
My two sidekicks in Penang.
Just wanted to show my nails *action face
When Sara told me that our Pizza Hut lunch was gonna be at Subang 2, I said no problemo. Because I live in Subang.
(don’t google maps me thanks)
Then when I told Fat Her his eyes rolled back in his head and he frothed at the mouth wtf. Because when we Google Mapped it it says Shah Alam and 25km from Subang Jaya D:
But cheat wan actually it was really really near and really really easy to find 😀
This is the newly opened Pizza Hut located in Subang 2.
It’s a very spacious restaurant with its own parking and lots of cushy chairs and warm lighting! Think they designed it that way on purpose to make us wanna move in WTF.
No la but I think in these hectic times, the only time we can catch up with close friends and loved ones is often when you sit down for a meal together. So they cleverly design a place so comfy and warm so you can have bonding sessions!
Pizza Hut invited a bunch of us to their new outlet for lunch and to give us all a chance to catch up with other blogger friends 😀
Very glad they did that actually because I haven’t seen some of them for months because I am a workhorse who misses a lot of events wtf.
First person I saw when I came in was Beautiful Nara!
Then a blue Red Mummy! And Nazuwan’s friend fml forgot his name.
Feels like Project Alpha days again!
If you see the area behind us, the decor looks like (a very nice) home! Glass partitions with curlique patterns so it felt like it was just us, comfy leather chairs and wooden flooring complemented with warm yellow lights 😀
Just realized isit because CNY is coming that’s why they gave us a blogger reunion!
Coincidence? I think not wtf.
I am so right. New pizza for Chinese New Year!
It’s called Ring of Fortune – presumably because it’s all golden and is shaped like a ring.
Can serve it as weddings also geddit geddit.
Up close. The round golden bits are actually cornflakes. Outer and inner crusts are filled with cheese and toppings include chicken, pineapple,and red pepper slices.
Shouldn’t be writing this when I’m hungry.
Oriental Wings – fried chicken drumettes and mid-wings coated in a sweet garlic sauce.
Cheesy Chargrilled Chicken Baked Rice.
Reminds me of Cheesie wtf.
Because I’m actually wearing her cardigan cos I couldn’t find mine!!!
Playing with my food.
Triple Platter! Consisting of Oriental Wings OR Honey BBQ Wings, Masala Spin Roll and Criss-Cut Fries, Served with Cool Lime Mayo.
I am a carbo-holic so I whacked all the criss-cut fries! (Used to have these fries a lot back in Mt Holyoke *nostalgic)
Also ate most of the pasta. This is the seafood aglio olio but there was another very delicious spicy seafood marinara with prawns, squid strips, tomatoes, onions, olives, Napolitana sauce and parsley.
Damn funny this Beautiful Nara said “marinara” is an ad for his blog HAHAHA GEDDIT.
Pizza face wtf.
With Shaolin Tiger!
Pizza Hut unveiled Pizza Hut’s new TV commercial – click here.
Brought Mumsy and Fat Her along for family bonding too <3
Gareth brought Auntie Shaolin Tiger too! She just got in from the UK that morning apparently.
Damn funny though when I introduced my parents quite a few people went “hello auntie uncle I recognize you I’ve read so much about you” hahahaha they’d win Most Famous Parents in Blogosphere award if there was one honestly they should thank me.
(i think they’ve been recognized in supermarkets before as Fat Her and Mummy Ooi damn famous!)
Group photo with BN, Blue Mummy and Proud Duck!
Pretty Vivy.
Got omiyage from Pizza Hut some more!
Mouth full of food -_-
Me and Redmummy gossiping <3 I look damn ugly but whatevs!
Everytime we meet up it’s for us to catch up and update each other on blog gossip wan! Also for me to get acquainted with whatever new designer bag she’s carrying/lusting over at the moment.
Also with Lainey!
If you notice, the last few photos I am missing my lashes T3T Talking halfway, Vivy told me my lash was falling off #thingsgirlshatetohear so I gave up and just took them off fml.
<3
All in all, I had a very good time lo catching up with everyone! Gossiping with the girls, exchanging height jokes with Gareth (got a lot of damn funny jokes and I was telling him I was going to blog them but now I forgot!!!) and taking pictures (with a lot of people around who were willing to help us take wtf)
Thank you for the memories 🙂 (and great food)
The Pizza Hut sign is so tall it’s nearly Gareth’s height WTF.
In the spirit of Chinese New Year and family and all that, I’ve decided to blog anecdotes (and photos) of us growing up!!
Actually Ooib had been asking me to capture old photos and post them since forever and I’ve been procrastinating but what better time to do it than this season!
(just realized Xiaxue just blogged baby pictures of Mike this must be the trend now wtf)
Now you know who’s the boss wtf.
Me and Ooib looked like twins at that age so Mumsy always dressed us in same clothes – me in pink/red, Ooib in blue. (Until Ooib’s voice cracked, we even sounded the same and our parents sometimes couldn’t differentiate who was who on the phone wtf)
Dunno why this Fat Her so okashii like to take pics of us sleeping !!
Ooib’s unconscious audition for Swan Lake wtf.
I think this was my 12th birthday party! Significant because none of my friends could make it WTF.
Kids around me are all my cousins/father’s friends’ children. Oh and Ooib in the Alien Workshop tshirt.
I remember my whole outfit – the blue floral blouse and Sailormoon jeans – was from REJECT SHOP!! Don’t bluff last time you sure shop there wan.
I was damn proud about finding such cute jeans with Sailormoon on it! Only to realize that year that it was time to put away anything childish /cartoon-embossed because that was the year everyone started trying to be cool wtf.
But then guess what happened! My best friends decided to have our first ever slumber party and they fixed it on the exact day of my birthday. I was too excited about being so grownup and having my first ever sleepover (just like in Sweet Valley!!!) that I didn’t think about my birthday at all.
Until Mumsy brought cake (and Ooib) to Rachel’s house during our party!!!
And all my friends whipped out wrapped gifts and shrieked with laughter at my surprise T___________T
Think we were watching Hsin show off her l33t piano skillz wtf.
This was a Christmas party for children of club members of Holiday Villa! All the staff dressed up in cartoon costumes.
This photo is significant because of the masculine Belle WTF.
One of Fat Her’s birthdays! Mumsy looks so young!
And this Fat Her mm chai see (don’t know die) always pose like this in pictures now wanna start up Facebook account also difficult cos he has no nice normal photos that he’d like his friends to recognize him by hahahahaha.
Pancaragam (or band, in English) used to be a very big part of my life!!!
Got social hierarchy wan ok – drum major was supposed to be the most handsome and coolest boy (dunno why maybe cos they had to be tall?), and the rest of the popular boys played an assortment of drums. If you played the cymbals means they ran out of instruments to give you and you’re just not there yet ahahahaha.
For girls, the coolest instruments were the bell lyras and what not, followed by pianicas (which is what I played) and the insignificants played the recorders WTF.
Judging from how I used to look I think I was actually meant for a life in recorder-blowing. But luckily I had friends in high places (bell lyras) who vouched for me so the teacher put me in pianicas wtf.
Ta-dah wtf.
Did you all play the pianica back in school! You have to blow into it to make music and I remember by the end of practice, you’d throw up in the back of your mouth if you ever accidentally smelled your own pianica wtf.
Joyce Lennon and her groovy spectacles wtf.
She was there supporting the pancaragam at Pyramid! We were hired to play for the grand opening of Macdonald’s at Pyramid (yes I am quite aged) quite a big deal to a bunch of 11 and 12 year olds ok!
Ooib and I hard at play. Our favorite game was called ‘Babyland’ and it was basically pretending that every single toy of ours which had a face was a citizen of a town called Babyland.
Especially the teddy bears and stuffed toys. They were the bourgeois and Lolo was naturally the mayor wtf (the highest post in Babyland).
Damn imaginative ok! Every space in our room was utilized. The display shelfs behind turned into apartment blocks for the middle classes.
Official photo of Mayor Lolo – the face you elected wtf.
Ooib’s holding Binkle – the stuffed rabbit who owned the only restaurant in Babyland. I think he was also the richest toy in Babyland.
As you can see, Ooib and I already had a basic grasp of economics then.
My ambition was to be a teacher then! So I elected myself Educator General of Babyland and my job was to mark everyone’s homework hahahahaha check out the red pen I was holding yo.
My main passion was in deciding whether to award stars or give out grades (A++++ or A+++) on papers wtf.
Ooib snubs the papparazzi.
At one point in his life, Ooib had a bowl haircut which amazingly enough, made him look like a Carrie instead of a Barry wtf.
Remember Mummy Ooi calling him Claudine WTF. Also remember myself wishing he was really a Claudine because I really wanted a sister and wondering vaguely what it would take to turn Ooib into a girl hahahahahah.
See what I mean? Mum fancied he looked like Aaron Kwok then HAHAHAHHA.
And now for the highlight of this post – my baby pictures!
Seriously I was so cute lo I dunno how I morphed into the clown above.
Always thought my parents should have put me to making commercials. Imagine how many jars of baby food this face could have sold wtf.
(Then can set up college fund so I don’t need to pay my study loan now)
Ohai!
Early in life, I had mastered the skill of tilting chin down and looking wide eyed up at the camera.
I also prepared myself early on in life, knowing that I would only reach most people’s chests when I grew up wtf.
(that’s my Grandpa)
Some more I could pass for a boy or a girl so versatile WTF.
With a pregnant Mumsy and aunties.
I look like I’m dancing here but here’s the truth. I’ve been ticklish my whole life and when I was a child Fat Her had this sadistic habit of tickling me or scaring me by pretending to lunge for my armpit WTF (cos I most ticklish there and my neck)
In this picture Fat Her was a bit further away so I was showing my armpit to taunt him WTF. But for safety precautions, I had my other hand on standby in case he moved to attack wtf.
Really wan I really have memories of this and my parents confirmed it hahahahaha.
Ok end with vain picture of self 25 years later.
Happy Chinese New Year to fourfeetnine readers from me, my cousin and my cramped thighs! (and the Mickey Mouse cartoon on the laptop)
And in the spirit of decadence (overly last minute CNY shopping), 13 more days on Milkadeal to purchase RM30 worth of vouchers for just RM10 on Acmamall (16,000+ beauty products including from L’Occitane & Dermalogica, and a million book titles – my two favorite things in the world :D)
AND PERSON NXT 2 ME Y U NO SHARE PIZZA WIF ME
I can has internet meme too!
(l33t photoshop skillz credit goes to Patrek)
Clockwise from upper left: my graduation photo with the Oois, Fat Her’s graduation photo, aunt and grandma, and cousins.
It was Grandma Ooi’s birthday.
Probably look like her when I’m old. Since Fat Her and I inherited the chunky calves from her already wtf.
She always says it’s good to have chunky legs because if someone pushes you over, you won’t fall WTF.
Fat Her’s MBA graduation photo! Complete with fake phonograph and antique fan behind hahahaha. I think I was 7-8 here?
Check out Mom’s ultra 90s bushy brows hahahahaahhaahah.
And Fat Her’s Honey I Shrunk the Kids glasses.
I think I was missing my front teeth wtf. I used to have a very big thing for sailor collared dresses.
Which could explain why until now I like collecting Japanese 制服 (uniforms) WTF.
And Ooib wearing his military outfit from some kindergarten year end concert hahahahaa.
Most recent picture of the entire Ooi clan. We’re all so grown up now D:
But not enough to stop pretending we’re the Petronas Twin Towers WTF. I am the connecting bridge fml.
Would blog more but for some reason I feel…sad.
Maybe it’s because I’m tired. Maybe it’s my arm which has been aching for a few days now but I can’t think why. But maybe it’s a sign for me to snap shut my laptop.
Babai.
Cashier (ringing up my magazine purchase): “ViVi huh?”
Me (fumbling in bag for change): “Har? Yea..”
Cashier: “Girl on the cover looks like you. Why you buy your own magazine with your face on it?” WTF.
Not sure if that was a pickup line (cos you know I don’t get many wtf) but I award points for creativity
Speaking of shopping and creativity, Milkadeal is a new (and very cute) group discount site that I’ve lately heard about.
They have all sorts of deals that go for cheap from all sorts of stores! The deals last a couple of days only though before new ones come in so hurry!
Today’s deal is a COOKEHHHH and a Tropicalitea! Click here to buy!
So on the first day of filming, Cheesie and I had tweeted and blogged and asked our readers to come meet us at KLCC the next day if they were interested in gyaru fashion.
Cos Maiko and Lie were gonna give gyaru makeovers!
Aud and Cheesie at Dome.
This picture never edit also dunno why come out so cool looking! This is using the camera Cheesie saw Jam using and loved it at first sight and bought it right after that.
Ok tell you secret. On the first day Cheesie wore Liz Lisa and I wore obakawa. On the second day we were going to exchange styles. (wanted to wear same styles on same day but due to some logistic problems like I couldn’t find suede boots for my Liz Lisa style etc we had to do alternate styles)
But after seeing Maiko and Lie’s extremely hot sekushii gyaru styles we decided there and then we should grow up and go for edgier more sophisticated styles -_-
(Ooib if you’re reading this keep quiet wtf. He’s heard me say often enough that I want to change style to a more mature one but no sooner than the words are out of my mouth I revert to some cutesy shit T_T)
Ya so these were our ensembles for a more “sophisticated” look. Cheesie wins! I cheat wan cos my clothes are actually hers WTF.
Before makeup! So touched that our readers actually showed up to spend the day with us T______T
From KLCC we did the opening shot then moved to the hotel to do the makeovers.
L-R: Yuki, Christy, Joey, me, Cheesie, Jac, Renae and Yokoi.
Everyone (besides me and Ringo) came makeup-less!
Oh and except Maiko and Lie too of course. Again, photo is totally unedited.
Camwhore also so professional!
None of that angling the camera from above wide-eyed look for Lie!
Maiko got her netting top at Sungei Wang for like RM30. When she bought it I was thinking it looked quite weird and never in a million years would I buy a granny looking net top like that.
Then when she wore it the next day I ate my words wtf.
I must be too predictable and too dredged in my cute 可愛くなる mentality 🙁
Lie and Chizu.
Seriously who else can look good with Lie’s pose.
Even Maiko can look erm good with this pose…
But both of them damn cute la cos they weren’t just about looking pretty but they weren’t afraid to look stupid hahahaha. Girls after my own heart wtf.
But then they turn around and teach us how to massage our lymph nodes to make our faces smaller wtf.
All these photos were taken when we were waiting for the crew (and Maiko) to set up the room for filming.
Then makeover time! (stealing this shots from Jacqueline)
Maiko basically went through each makeup steps one by one. From applying foundation to sticking on eyelid tape if you have uneven lids to… what color under eye highlighter to apply.
Then lunch time! Digging through the food they bought while everyone was still beautifying themselves *eating monster
We got into the fun of it too! Since Cheesie and I already had makeup on we helped the others apply theirs.
I think I was…helping Jac put on her lashes?
Tadah!
Took 5 minutes to camwhore.
Ok maybe 7. On my head’s a furry monster leg warmer that Maiko and Lie gave me! Just wanted to take pic with it ngehehe.
Ringo got a furry scarf thing with pockets!
This is the very pretty after picture of everyone with gyaru makeup 😀
Stole this from Joey’s Facebook to show you the difference!
I super wanna do a makeup tutorial now (even though I don’t think my makeup skills are all that) because it really isn’t that difficult to achieve the look that they have on. It’s like Air Asia – now everyone can be cute wtf.
You think this face is God given? wtf
One last photo!
Then Lie and Maiko left for Tokyo. But not without a lot of tears WTF.
Damn shocked la ok! We were saying our goodbyes halfway and I thought they were laughing but they actually started crying!!! Some more i didn’t realize at first and pointed at their faces and laughed WTF.
But then I realized they were really sobbing because they were leaving (and for some reason most of the Japanese I’ve met get super emotional at goodbyes and end up crying wan T___T) and I cannot stand it if I see people crying so I teared also aih so weak.
After this experience, Cheesie and I thought of creating a gyaru circle in KL to educate people and share info among everyone about makeup and fashion. We haven’t really thought in depth into it yet but whaddya guys think?
If you’ve been following my tweets, you’d have seen me and Cheesie tweeting about gyaru and Sungei Wang and #cryptic and I forgot what else wtf.
If you’ve not been following my tweets, please do so now here because you don’t know what you’re missing. Answer: nothing. wtf.
Anyway, the reason for all this hype was NHK’s Tokyo Kawaii TV program. NHK (for you who have been living under rocks) is Japan’s national public broadcasting organization, and Tokyo Kawaii TV is a TV program focused on Japanese fashion.
So Tokyo Kawaii actually contacted me and Cheesie a couple months back and asked us if we would wanna be filmed for their show as followers of gyaru fashion out of Japan.
Gyaru according to Wendy according to Cheesie wtf is
“gal” and all the trendy fashionable girls in Japan are called gyaru. (Wrong scold her not me lol) There are other branches of gyaru like hime (meaning princess, so they wear frilly stuff) and like yamanba (super tanned faces and white lips, which, for the life of me I cannot understand how it is the least bit attractive), etc.
Reason why we never say anything about this before is cos we were suspicious and didn’t know how the end product would look like. Maybe got only 5 seconds airtime of our backsides or something who knows wtf.
But now talk about it la since filming was actually very fun and whatever it’s worth we got damn alot of fucking cute photos out of it wtf.
Ohai!
You know how I’ve been saying fuck florals and Liz Lisa and Imma be more otoko poi (masculine style) because to be honest my character isn’t very feminine anyway and I think a less feminine style would suit me better.
So a week before Cheesie and I went shopping for obakawa/ojikawa style clothes! Obakawa and Ojikawa basically translate to Grandma Cute and Grandpa Cute wtf -_-
Something like this! A bit preppy/nerdy, a bit vintage and a lot of sterotypically “old people” elements like thick ribbed knitwear, plaids, brogues etc. But modernized with thigh high socks and short hemlines.
In short (pun intended) damn cute!!
Yalah so I went super ojikawa for the first day of our shoot!
Thick grey floral sweater – Zara
Suspender shorts – Zara
Navy socks – Daiso
Heeled loafers – Sungei Wang
While Cheesie totally betrayed me and went back to Liz Lisa!!!! Everything on her from minimaos.
Okla her reason is that mermaid hair looks best with Liz Lisa which I have to agree.
Ojichan needs glasses!
Better view of Cheesie’s outfit (and my face)
We actually still match despite the different styles cos of our floral tops! And Shelly Mays!
Ya alot of pictures of us. Suck it up.
With the hosts Maiko and Lie! They’re so horribly beautiful ok just look at them. Whoever in Xiaxue and Cheesie’s blogs who said they’re not pretty is blind!!! Or lying wtf.
I’ve seen plenty of tanned gyarus but these two actually made me consider tanning myself just cos they look so good! Me – the person who is deathly afraid of the sun and slathers on sunblock like my father’s name is Coppertone.
(Is it me or do I look like my head is on backwards WTF. Having no boobs gives you that effect wtf)
Anyway they wanted to see what a gyaru’s life was like in Malaysia so we went to Sungei Wang which is the best mall ever for cute cheap trendy stuff 😀
This here’s Makita-san the director who probably doesn’t need to ever gym in his life already cos of the camera he lugs around for hours a day.
Maiko and Lie checking out makeup at Sasa.
They super cute and enthusiastic! They grabbed a Sasa sales assistant and asked her what she thought of our style WTF.
Then they accosted some 18 year old Ah Bengs and asked them if they would like it if there were more girls who dressed like us WTF.
Hahahaha quite cute la actually cos the guys were so young and they were swaggering cos I think they were nervous that two hot Japanese girls wanted to talk to them and they wanted to show off to their friends hahahaha.
Interestingly, one of the Ah Bengs was Indian! Soon we’ll see a Chinese rempit yay 1Malaysia wtf.
We were also in Sungei Wang to scout for girls who are interested in Japanese fashion to join us the next day for gyaru makeovers.
We found Yuki and Yokoi!
Then our blog readers found us! Actually I think they’re Cheesie’s readers more than mine wtf.
Cos we tweeted about being in Sungei Wang and asked whoever who wanted to come look for us to learn gyaru makeup and they did!
Exchanging email addresses with Maiko.
Lunch!
Then back to Cheesie’s house cos they wanted to ransack her gyaru wardrobe!
Again they are so so so pretty how can anyone not think so!
