Hiya lovelies!
I’m having a slow day so I decided to open up a virtual cafe and share some coffee and some good chit chat on a bit of ladies day out 
Lets get to know each other a little better!
If you have a burning question about anything at all, or if you are having a slow day too and just want to say hi, feel free to drop in, pull up a chair, grab a coffee and chat with me for a while about anything under the sun… well almost anything 
I like addressing random topics so do visit and leave a comment and who knows, if I can’t answer you, some one out there probably can
Paris B
p/s Remember to keep it clean and don’t touch on anything relating to politics or religion or anything sensitive; but then you are all adult enough to know that right?
p/p/s Incidentally, I’m having a REALLY bad hair day – urgh! Its sticking out everywhere! I wonder if it’ll be odd to wear a hat in the office?

morning parisB….my work deadline has just been brought forward like a week earlier! god! please gimme more time…!! *pulls hair in all direction, and now bad hair day too*
1 week! That’s serious stuff – time to buckle back down *hands you serum for your hair*
I have a giant pimple right by my lip–TMI? Am considering going to the facialist TODAY. It’s been there for days and can’t get rid of it! HELP!
ouch!! I had a small one by my lip just last week – lucky for me I ignored it and it went away. Hope its gone by later today and enjoy your facial.
Hi paris,
Good morning,me too..having a tight schedule today:) but instead of coffee, i make cup of green tea for myself to make myself more aware..(ssshh..because yesterday i went and watched Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant ,suprisingly nicer that i expected thou).
How everyone so far this year month?mind to share how are you?This month i really have a blast in watching movie….been nonstop watching movie for 1 or 2 week plus..i lost count on it already..T_T
Aahhh… I haven’t seen any new movies if you can believe it! Not even Avatar
I might remedy that, or I might go and see Sherlock Holmes – anyone has any thoughts on that movie?
Sherlock holmes and Avatar are completely 2 different movies from different genre.
I propose you go watch both of them~
its really worth it
Go treat yourself..hehe
I will! Haha… Avatar this week and Sherlock next if its still showing
My big day is coming this weekend, still headache on the guest list wish i can have full control…sigh…
Oh my! Congratulations are in order!
Don’t worry too much Julianne – these things have a way of working themselves out. Enjoy your big day yeah?
Hello Paris!
I’m just trying to be better today *sigh*…. I hope you feel the same! Be good =)
Oh dear are you ill? Hope you feel better soon!

Morning! I’m trying my hands at pressing pigments. LOL! Just done putting the mixture into a pan. now waiting for it to dry before I start pressing
You brave soul! I never tried it coz I like the texture of loose pigments – incidentally, I’m wearing Naked and Deckchair today!
Inspired by your blue liner tutorial except I went with violet

I demand pictahs! :p
I actually don’t mind the loose pigments but since I have jars of them… try la. haha. and I can tote it around in a compact!
Will post pics soon (if I remember
)
PB, you NEED to watch Avatar. And I enjoyed Sherlock Holmes as well!
Go go go watch!
Btw, what are you doing for CNY? Going to be in town?
But but but… GSC wants to charge me extra for watching it in 3D and won’t give me a non-3D option
I might go for Sherlock Holmes instead 
I’ll be back home for CNY with my parents. Yourself? Its Grace’s first!

Go TGV la. You NEED to watch Avatar!
I managed to get non 3D Avatar at GSC
Don’t like TGV – not as convenient for me

I watched it in 3D version… didn’t exactly wow me because certain parts of the movie was just like watching 2D so I ended up wondering whether I might’ve enjoyed it more in 2D…
For the sake of not getting shot down by Avatar lovers, I shall not post my views of the movie here.
LOL if its mostly CGI I think I might share your thoughts
Anyway I’m only watching it coz my Dad said Dr. M made reference to it so he wants to be in the loop too!

OOOO… I Lil birdie told me that maybe his grandchildren pestered him to watch it… hahaha. Marina’s kids, perhaps?
haha… well he has so many!

Okay so here I am, discussing with Geek on getting a new phone. I’m on 3′s $29 prepaid, and have been on it for over a year now, and so I figured, why not go on a $29 cap contract AND get a free phone out of it as well? I’m looking to change to Vodafone, ‘cos they have the HTC Magic in white, which is GORGEOUS. I’ve just got to try out the Android, y’know?
Anyways, will head back to 3 and Vodafone tomorrow to have a discussion with them. Here’s hoping I come out with a new phone
Absolutely no idea how those plans work but the HTC looks amazing! More so in white! Never tried it though I was thinking of getting a Blackberry with just data. I’d be one of those corporate androids with 2 phones!
Twitter: fortheloveofme
January 27, 2010 at 10:15 am
I was thinking of the crackberry, but data plans here are expensive
I reckon the HTC + the plan I’m looking at would be good enough for the occasional surfing, and more importantly, Twitter 
PS: Plus it’s purdy
PPS: It’s double the price here too to watch Avatar. I reckon I’d spew if I watched it in 3D, what with the quick action scenes. Oh, and watch Sherlock Holmes! That Robert Downey Jr is one sweet HAWT man
Yes its really pretty I gotta admit. And guess what? I managed to book Avatar (non 3D) for half the price it would cost to watch the 3D version! Yay! Sherlock Holmes is next!
And also the reason why I wanted the Droid, someone stroked my ego into making me think I’m good enough to develop apps for the platform so I’m dying to try it out. can’t test it without a Droid phone, right?
That’s a good reason as any to get the Android phone! Besides which if you DO develop apps for it, maybe you could charge lots of money for people to download them? More funds for that one bag?

Ah, on the Avatar side, I’m sooooo sad that my all time favorite LOTR: Return of the King got tanked. It was the what… 3rd best grossing in all time? Now its like the 4th aiks. Speaking of LOTR, I was inspired to do a smokey green/brown eyeshadow look in honor of Mirkwood, AKA where Legolas came from, well to commemorate how I grew out of Orlando Bloom. (Heck, I was like 10 when the first LOTR movie came out, haha), so yeah. Too geeky for you? Sorry!
LOL not too geeky at all! I loved LOTR but sorry, absolutely hated Return of the King
Too draggy. Liked Two Towers though for the action 
I reckon your look will be pretty.
Twitter: Hannyinefmor
January 27, 2010 at 10:21 am
HA! Two Towers had the most Legolas action, I was all swooning all over the place!! Anyways I agree with Tine, Robert Downey Jr is smokin’!! (I wanna watch Sherlock Holmes, but my disgustingly dismal A Level results is making me stay at home and study… wuwu…)
Aww… well you can always get Sherlock Holmes on DVD after the exams
Eh I just resigned from a job as a waitress a few days ago which I started since December last year. Since I’m waiting for my SPM results and all. But it’s only been a few days and I’m feeling the pinch…I feel like mushrooms are sprouting out of me O.o and My biological is screwed up =S hahahha…. quit the job cause I was being underpaid and overworked…RM 4 per hour and no special raises during New Year’s Eve of Christmas O.o yikes! Stingy bosses!
Needs a new job till March O.o
No doubt you’d feel the financial pinch but being underpaid while overworked is never a good combination. Hope you find a new job soon – there are lots out there

Wish I could chat… studying a report for a meeting later.
Come back after your meeting!
Twitter: rinnah
January 27, 2010 at 1:34 pm
And I’m back after my meeting… feeling a bit stressed… tell you about it IRL soon…
soon babe!
wah, virtual chat cafe summore…
I finally used my ‘Hot Mama’ this morning, loving it to bits! mum baked cupcakes this morning too, so Wednesday is off to a really good start!
eee! Mom doesn’t live with me much less bake me cupcakes
What a lovely thing to wake up to! Isn’t Hot Mama amazing?! Love it
i’m itching to go for hair treatment at a salon later. this my 1st time doing it after rebonding last Dec. usually how long will the smooth feeling stay?
speaking of movies, Sherlock Holmes is good. i wanted to watch Tiger Woohoo since 2 weeks ago but things just get into the way. plus i’m most as motivated as before when it comes to studies. this is my final semester and will work in a bank for 4 years after graduation; and i’m already worrying that i can’t cope. ahakz. anyway, have a nice day, ParisB
I don’t know about others, or how kinky your hair is normally but for me, it lasted months! Don’t worry about work – before you know it, you’d be climbing up the ranks!
Goood morning! It’s a busy day for me, but planning to hit a mall later today – feel the itch to get a new lipstick, any suggestions?
Get Rimmel Alarm (if you don’t have it) Its amazing!
Thanks to a friend 
I don’t have it – great idea! Thanks, friend!
Bringing Grace to Kuching again for CNY–it’s a must, otherwise my MIL will kill me!
)
Would you like some famous Sarawak pepper? Can get for you if interested!
ooh I might take you up on that offer! Let me check my kitchen stash
Hi Paris.
How’s your Cafe World update?
Haha… playing a lot less but I got myself to Level 28 though I’m fast collecting Captain Curdler medals
Email me if you want yar! Both the black and white pepper is really good, way better than the ones you get here!
I’ll do that Monstro! Thank you!

hello!
i thought i’d join in the fun!
today has been nothing but just doing crazy amount of following up for the bosses, doing his work cuz he don’t want to and uh, got scolded by client tho not my fault? LOL!
Avatar must watch! though i really wouldnt want to watch in 3d, the headache it gives! And sherlock holmes! Yummy Robert Downey Jr!
Eeps! Getting scolded for something that isn’t your fault is no fun at all! Thanks for the tip off about the 3D headaches. I’d read about that too so I’m avoiding that – plus it costs so much more
Twitter: midnight_plue
January 27, 2010 at 12:53 pm
lately have been getting alot of that >_< so i hope after CNY no more, altho ppl say this year tiger kids "fan tai sui" =_= die not?
how much more it cost? i watch only once and never did want to do it again!
Ooh yeah I heard of that too. That nasty Tai Sui – maybe appease him with lots of sweets and goodies?
It was going to cost me RM13 (ticket) + RM0.50 (online booking) + RM5 (surcharge dunno for what) Crazy. But I managed to get non 3D and Dad was pleased 
Twitter: midnight_plue
January 27, 2010 at 1:04 pm
why got surcharge of RM5? suck ppl’s money just because they know got ppl want to watch it once in 2d another in 3d izzit?
i need to find way to get rid of tai sui. got ideas? I worry tai sui is not like a kid, dowan sweets and goodies but want a bit more… erm, you know, moneh! haha!
I didn’t get that silly surcharge. Maybe its to cover the 3d glasses? Either way I refused to pay
As for the tai sui I know some places hold special prayers to divert the tai sui’s attention. Kinda like averting the eye of sauron LOL
Paris, I’ve got Mr creep who’s reading over my shoulders scrutinising my every line of code. How do I tell him to eff off without insulting him (and not getting fired)? Also, wearing a hat in office is chic if you’ve got a cloche hat!
I don’t have a cloche hat – will a sunhat do?
As for Mr. Creep could you tell him that breathing down your neck won’t make you code any faster?
Sunhat + sunnies. Throw in a sundress too!
I’ve emailed all my source codes to MR Creep! Eeeeks!!!
Someday I’ll pull that off and then my office will seriously think me nuts
hello Paris. so free ah? i’m counting down my days till i’m leaving for New Zealand. anxiety + glee!
Ooh New Zealand! Are you going there for work/holiday/studies? I might go too but later in the year
hmmmm, i wonder where did my comment go… hope it’s posted!
owh darn my first comment didn’t get posted. let me start again.
hello Paris, dropping in to say hi after seeing your tweet. i’m not up to anything in particular… i’m counting down the days till i leave for my studies in New Zealand…
… and since i’m in a makeup blog, can i butt in? i wanna bring everything in my stash. but my baggage allowance doesn’t permit me. T_T
psst – ship it over?
going there for studies… swinging through pre-departure depression and overwhelming joy. i’m deranged! lol~
nah, i has good self control. *psycho myself* i shall bring necessities nia.
Oh fun! I really miss going away for long periods of time even if its just to study
You’ll have a blast I’m sure and well, there will always be new things to buy and try or there’s also online shopping!

Hallo!!! I’m back from class! We were learning about lun-chun-ness in psychology class, WOOHOO! I saw a post regarding the Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick on Alarm… WALAU EH, SI BEH RED WEH (My Teochew/hokkien crudeness shall end here), I may be getting some other shade, muahahahaha (Maybe Asia, Crush or Pink Champagne?). For my budget’s sake, I have to get off this site!!
(You know I’m kidding, right?)
Psychology! Awesome course. Yes Alarm is super duper red! But Yani’ll pull it off like a champ. I’ve got it swatched somewhere so you can expect some pics in the coming weeks
I do hope you come back even if we make you broke 
haha…
hi Paris…am a longtime lurker but was tempted by your invitation to chat hehe. I’m 24 and there’s been a burning question on my mind for some time: what IS the right age to start using anti-aging stuff & what are your recs for someone at my age? I know the basics like having a good skincare routine, sunscreen, drinking water and cutting down the alco n caffeine…but what products or skincare routines do you think would be useful? Thanks for your time and advice, love your blog!
Welcome! Incidentally I have a post coming up which might address this question but if anyone else wants to answer please feel free to!
whoops, will go search the archives. Thanks
Actually its in an upcoming post
Come round next week or so
