I have been using earbuds for the past 2 decade, I think. As I started listening to music using Walkman secretively during my secondary/high school. Since I found it helps me to pull through the night study.
And yes, I do love to study till late night ever since I am in secondary/high school. It is my extra effort to maintain my score. Since I am in boarding school and no time to go to tuition like those who not.
Nowadays I prefer earplug style earbuds.
My main reason [1]:
1. Portable
I prefer the one with cords.
2. Affordable.
I can get good ones with built it microphone as low as RM 40 last year, 2017.
3. Easy to use when driving car and etc.
I normally used the one that have built in microphone. As it helps me to be hands free when driving. Or even while I am sitting doing my works. As I am able to sift through documents while engaging in telephone conversation.
4. Noise isolation
Noise isolation works differently. Noise isolating earbuds drown out the background noise with the help of their cleverly designed physical characteristics. Many of these earbuds we have listed for you above work just as well at blocking out noise, if not better, than a great deal of noise-cancelling headphones on the market today. Even better, these earbuds don’t need massive amounts of battery power. You can simply plug them in and begin listening to your music – no charging, and if you play sports no worrying about your headphones shutting off on you during a run or while working out at the gym.
The best earbuds for noise isolation will usually come with multiple sizes of silicon, rubber, or foam ear-inserts for you to try on. It is imperative to find the best fit, because much of the earbuds’ noise-isolation capabilities are due to the soft little ear-tips. Everyone is built differently, and so are our ears. Ear tips that are too small will leak [2].
I do benefit a lot on this noise isolation features. I even unable to hear my cubicle mate calling after me if I plug in the earbuds properly. I end up using one side only whenever I am at work😉.
5. Size and weight.
Earbuds is small and easier for me to toss in my overflowing handbag compare headphone.
Also earbuds weigh lighter than headphone.
Plus, it is more invisible of me using earbuds as it is hidden since I am using shawl covering my hair from dust and sunburn😍.
What is Earbuds?
Earbuds usually do not have cushions, although they can. They are meant to be held in place by the concha ridge at the center of your outer ear, rather than sitting inside the ear canal.
They are often one-size-fits-all, which may not be comfortable to wear. Depending on the shape of your ear ridges, they may not fit securely and may fall out frequently. That is annoying, especially if you are wearing them for sports and exercise. Some have wings or loops to tuck under the ridges of the ear to help keep them in place.
Earbuds allow in ambient noise so you can hear what is going on around you. You don't feel sealed off from your environment. That provides a small measure of safety for outdoor exercise such as running or walking while wearing earbuds.
Earbuds have generally not had the same performance as high-end headphones, often lacking bass and sounding tinny. If you're buying ear buds, the good news is they are often less expensive than earphones and in-ear headphones. If you want something for the gym that you don't care if you step on them on the treadmill, or if you need the thirty-umpth pair for your teenager, ear buds are your friends [3].
Till then, have fun in listening to song using your good earbuds through out your day😉.
I do found that my brushes bristle will be out of shape each time after it dried from deep cleaning.
So, I do use preventive action to maintain the shape of my brushes to its original state from fraying and too fluffy. That is by usingshaping wrapto assist in maintaining the brush shape.
The dried look of my brushes after deep cleaning last week [4].
The ones dried using my brush tree [1].
The look of other brushes using the shaping wrap.
My precious tool to help reshape my brushes: shaping wrap.

Reshaping process:
The finished look of reshaping process.
Can see there is one strand of bristle fraying away or in sparse condition.
Since the shaping wrap too large, I put 2 small brushes in one shaping wrap.
Repairing my loose eyebrow brush:
The finished look of reshaping process:
I prefer to put them in clear plastic since it is much easier to choose when in hurry to use them.
I found that the shaping wrap does help well to snug and provide protective perimeter around the brush bristles. Also able to lightly cushion and protect them. Which makes it an ideal additional tool for someone is always on the move like make up artist and even make up junkie like me😉.
Tossing brushes in a plastic stationery case or even make up bag would make them more vulnerable to fraying and squashing. So the shaping wrap definitely helped prevent such tragedies. Like I have done and used the shaping wrap even when my make up bag have dedicated brush slot [2].
That is why I am keeping all my brushes in clear plastic bags. Easier for me to skim through it when in hurry. I end up keeping the make up bags that come with the brush sets in different container😊.
The brushes able to remain well in shape even though there was some fraying and sparse for the fluffier brushes like my blending brush.
Yes, I am selling the shaping wrap. A pack of 10 pieces cost RM 12. Price excluding delivery. This shaping wrap only have 1 size.
It is made from stretchable, breathable polyester.
Till then, have fun in maintaining the shape of you make up brushes😉.
I am meeting one friend today as he want to lend me his High Speed Rail book by Ho Chin Soon [1,2]. It is published last 30 March 2017 [1]. You can get it from MPH online for RM 50.00 per book [1].
As I am in favor spot, I decided to gift him my organic Citronella as barter trade gift for lending me such a good book [3].
The look of the packed organic Citronella for the barter trade gift.
My look while traveling to the lunch place.
I order the cendol in the poster for my drink today.
The look of the cendol. It is very delicious. The white colour is glutinous rice (pulut).
It is a home made cendol taste. And they also not stingy on the brown coconut sugar (air gula melaka).
I didn't manage to take the lunch food pictures as too consumed in conversation. It is very interesting when you communicate with Golden age (warga emas) generation. I love especially the history part😍.
I was asked regarding IT department especially on data server after my friend's companion know I am a Computer engineering graduate. Which I have explain to him why us Computer engineer is falsely associated with Computer science graduate, especially on data server part 😌.
I will make an entry specifically to clear up these kind of wrong assumption on us, Computer engineer later.
Till then, have fun enjoying lunch with good companion😉.
I was quite amused with such issue or matter being viral heavily on this matter [1,2].
This is solely my opinion who once work in a bridal shop.
Where I could foreseen this issue or matter could be prevented from happening.
How?
The bride can learn:
- to put on make up herself.
- test the make up with the selected make up artist (MUA). Also check the credibility thoroughly to avoid unsatisfied character or personality of the MUA.
Why?
When the bride is:
- obsessive-compulsive nature.
- like to teach the person who assist putting make up on her. Like what I have experience when I help to put on my friend make up during her engagement in 2008.
What I am trying to say is well portrayed minutes 0:50 in Friends series, episode 24, season 7 titled - The One With Monica and Chandler's Wedding, Part 2.
Where Monica put her own make up before her wedding day.
I could understand and totally relate why. As Monica is a chef known for her cleanliness, competitiveness and obsessive-compulsive nature [3].
By putting her own make up, she could know the suitable ingredients that would not trigger any skin conditions afterwards. As one normally would know more about their body conditions, allergy and etc.
Plus she do know better not to share her cosmetics in order to avoid fatal mishaps that could lead to death from contamination of other user. Well this part really on me. As I have read too much on such worst case scenario. One even already left paralysed from waist below [4]. Just because contamination and infections from sharing cosmetics.
Yes I do know that learning to put on make up requires lots of practise and learning curve. Still, there is lots of make up class nowadays that you can enroll in.
Yes, I do know it requires lots of fund and time spend on such matter. But, all up to you also. Like me, I do not have much to spare for class, both time and fund. But I tried my best to practise and follow online make up artist and beauty blogger that I think would suits me.
Yes, it is a long hard road and journey. But for me, its worth it. Can start small like taking baby steps. One at a time. And gradually build it up as you progress.
Yes, I do know my make up is not on point and very far from perfect. Still, I look presentable, fresh and neat. That is what matter to me the most. All depends on your needs and desire also. As not all people have same opinion like me. Since I prefer to focus more on my skincare regime and use less cosmetics in my make up applications. I like to let my skin to be able to breath. Plus, I am the type that like to wipe clean my make up each time before my prayers. Which is 5 times in a day. So for me, I would not need high end or full coverage cosmetics for my daily basis. But I would need such for a once in a while event or dinner or party.
Till then, have fun in you learning curve in make up application😉.
This morning, I start humming this song when I start to do my work. I immediately look for it based on the lyrics that I can recollect.
I kind of loving this song melody. Despite it is some sort of sad song. Maybe because the powerful voice of the singers. Regardless, it is some sort does gives a mood up lifting song effect to me. Well, people does interpret things differently. What matter the most, you love it and it give good effect.
[Intro: Jesy & Jade] [1]
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be that? Cause I'm yours
[Verse 1: Jade & Jesy]
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
[Pre-Chorus: Jesy]
But we know this, we got a love that is homeless
[Chorus: Perrie]
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Verse 2: Jason Derulo]
When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
Or would you play it safe and stay?
[Pre-Chorus: Jason Derulo]
Girl you know this, we got a love that is homeless
[Chorus: Perrie & Jason Derulo]
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Bridge A: Jason Derulo & Leigh-Anne]
And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we making
I'm living for that day, someday
[Bridge B: Jason Derulo & Jesy]
Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours, I'm yours
[Chorus: Leigh-Anne]
Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Chorus Reprise: Perrie]
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours
[Outro: Jade]
Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that
Since there lots of smart people out there that always point out that this song few years back, therefore I decided to put about the song history below. In order to avoid them to start nagging me, again and again.
"Secret Love Song" is a song recorded by British girl group Little Mix for their third studio album, Get Weird (2015). It features guest vocals from American singer Jason Derulo, who co-wrote the song with Jez Ashurst, Emma Rohan, and Tich. It was produced by Jayson DeZuzio. The group's cover of Derulo's 2015 single "Want to Want Me" inspired him to collaborate with them. "Secret Love Song" is a slow ballad comprising pounding bass and melancholic strings. The lyrics discuss unrequited and forbidden love, while Derulo's verse details his personal experience of having an affair.
The song was announced as the third single from Get Weird in Ireland and the UK. It was met with mixed reviews from music critics, but reached number six on the UK Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was directed by Frank Borin and filmed in London near Tower Bridgem [2].
Till the, have fun in enjoying your music selections😉.
