RANDOM MEME! Kop-ed (grabbed) from Miss Tham's blog. ^^

Name?
Pour Ying Xuan/ Karie Pour

Height?
1.74cm. Wished I was shorter...No actually, I don't really, I wished guys were taller. XD

Age?
Finally 19

Tomboy or Girly Girl?
Either or. In terms of behaviour and attitude, definitely tomboy, but sometimes I like to dress up~

Describe your beauty routine?
Daily: Facial wash.
Everytime I remember/during winter: Toner + Moisturiser
Fortnightly: Facials!!!
Whenever I feel like it: Make up.

Describe your hair?
Naturally black, dyed "hazel brown" with lighter highlights. Rebonded, parted on the right, slightly longer than shoulder length. Mostly smooth except on bad hair days.

Describe your personal style?
Jeans + tee + vest + sneakers or
Jeans + long top with or without vest + sneakers or
Long top/dress + leggings + boots
Plus small "bling" or long necklaces.

Do you...
Like metrosexual boys?
Yes, but not if they are too extreme. Definitely prefer clean-cut guys with no excessive facial hair though, but going to any form of make up is a little over (lip balm is fine).

Like accessories?
LOVE! Necklaces and watches the most! Some earrings, but not rings...

Like high heels?
Hmmm, I like wedges and that's about it for high heels. But then again, I don't really need them do I (refer to height)? Of course, my favourites are Nike sneakers.

Like matchy matchy, or mix and match?
Matchy matchy! Mix and match for accessories.

Spend a lot of money on beauty products in general?
I guess~ More for the facial cleansing stuff, and less on make up, though I use Clinique for make up, I don't buy alot.

Shop online for clothes?
Love online shopping! Not cause I am lazy (okay, maybe partly) but cause it brings stuff from the rest of the world to me, especially since I am 'big' and SG clothes caters to the 'small'.

favorite...?
Article of clothing in your closet?
White linen long top from Marks and Spencer's!!! That's definitely my favourite, and I have been wearing it since...3 years ago? Goes with anything~

Makeup line?
Clinique for foundation and blusher, ZA for concealer, eyeliner from Shiseido, Mascara and lip gloss/stick from Estee Lauder. So...A large range!

Skincare line?
Suisse Program and La Coline. Damn expensive I know...

Perfume?
Women: Burberry Brit and Very Irresistible Givenchy!!!
Men: Very Irresistible Givenchy, Polo Black and Davidoff.

Colours to wear?
White, black, dark blue, gray, dark green...That's about it! 0.o"

What is a trend you dislike the most?
Super tight skinny jeans, especially on guys. Cause I think they look too damn weird, not to mention the prospect of infertility...XD

What is your fashion philosophy?
Dress according to body type.

What kind of shoes do you like?
Nike sneakers (air dunks, court force etc), limited editions, bold colors (ala Yellow on my Mr. Happy Adidas pair), BOOTS and Wedges.

What is your biggest fashion problem?
0.o"...Everything! Except my height. XD

What trends do you think should come back?
Er...Don't really follow trends.

What one piece are you dying to add to your wardrobe?
Distressed Jeans or Flared Jeans.

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Depends...I ever got ready in 10 minutes. Normally within 20 mints, but with make up would be an additional 20 mins.

Would you ever go out in public without makeup?
Of course! Don't I already do that all the time?

If you had a fashion budget of 1 million dollars, where would you shop, and why?
TORRID and Orangebear in TAIWAN! Cause they have awesome clothes for the bigger gals. =D

Is there anything you absolutely CANT wear?
Mini anything and skinny jeans. My fat body and my mind just won't allow it.

If you had to pick one designer to wear for the rest of your life, who would it be, and why?
I have no idea who designs their stuff, but for brand I am going for Orangebear from Taiwan. They ain't famous, maybe online...XD

Wanna tag 5 people to do this too?
Do I have to?

-----------------------------------------------------

Back to SINGAPORE TOMORROW! Touchdown 3.15pm, or maybe earlier, cause they managed to get to Sg like an hour early before. 0.o"

A quiz...Just for the heck of it... From: Quiz Box

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Found on Kai's blog.
--------------------------------------------

I am literally sleeping in a pile of assignments. So excuse me for the lack in updates since there's nothing much to update ANYWAYS.

Well...These few days have been hectic.
1) Been sleeping and waking up at irrational hours like 5pm to 4am and 1pm to 12am. =.="...My sleep cycle is so screwed and I am feeling so sleepy now.

2) Finally finished the assignments for Plant Utilisation, all I need now is to give the presentation. Did all the paperwork for my group, the presentation slides, essays, indexing of the plants collected for the plant collection project blah blah, while the others did most of the legwork collecting the plants.

3) Started on the Woolly Mammoth assignment Part 2. It pretty much sucks, anyone wants to help?

4) Found out that it would cost me $99 per hr to get a moving company to move my stuff from Gatton to Toowong in November and I should let them know at least a week before I want to move. Fudge...Results will only be released on the 27th, so I can only move on 4th December?

5) Found some time to read a book. Body Double by Tess Gerritsen. She's a genius in crime fiction that's all I gotta say. 0.o"...Love her books. Borrowed the book yesterday, finished most of it today while I had this 5 hour break, and finished reading it after my classes.

6) Some retard dumped compost into my rubbish wheelie bin so it's like half full of compost now. And this person hasn't emptied it, so what am I supposed to use for a bin huh!?!??! Asshole...Been using neighbours' bin to dump my stuff, which hasn't been alot this week cause I haven't been cooking alot.

arrgh...need sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------

Something cute:


waiting to see you by =MalvaAlcea on deviantART

你這個野蠻的大白目!!!

XD...Just waiting to dump my clothes into the dryer before I visit la-la land.

Hi! Welcome to my blog.
