A Voice To Be Heard

2011-12-27T21:00:00.000+08:00

2012 fast approachingit’s a good time to reflect on the past year and come with some good intentionsfor the New Year. Meanwhile, this too is the best time for me to revise a fewincidents that had happened to this year alone. There has been nothing but areal soap opera that involves me. From my grandma passing on to my biologicalfather has finally disowned me. Is it any surprise I never felt a shit bit ofimpact after all this was throwing at me during the conversation(I would notcall it a convo, more like a deafening scream) that we had recently (well 3-4 months ago)Note : we barely spoke period.

Has anyone of youknown the difference between a father and a daddy? Here here stopcracking your head, I found this, all you gotta do is read it…this question was asked by pita (my forever mischievous 11 year old, who is working real hard and always find ways to get me) she is so trapped in playingout of the old military adage “if it doesn’t work, double it” she just has toget me and win..and that smirk ..hmmpp..

So what’s exactlygoing on to the point of being disowned? Well it was all started during mygrandmother’s wake/funeral. A question was raised to me by my aunt who lives inSingapore despite of her being estranger (again another one I have not seen forgod knows how long) but due to a certain level of respect I always have forpeople, I talk to her. Her question goes like this :- “ it seems like youfather is in real bad shape” my replied: and I need to know this because? Dramatic music playing on the background.She must have felt that she asked the right question but to the wrong person,so she just got up and left. No surprise there, news travel fast, especiallythe bad ones, so It got to my father..na na na..

However,let me just summarise everything from the good old days. A woman from a foreigncountry being married to my father, she left shortly after before me reaching3. I remember mentioning we did live in poverty, life was hard then bla bla.And since then my life was a living hell. I got beaten up real bad as and whenhe likes, if this is a revenge he wishes to seek, the best target should havebeen “ fill in the blank please” few years later he remarried to another woman“ whom I should technically now called her my mother” they have another twochildren a girl and a boy. With their presence, my life wasn’t getting anybetter but worse. I spent most of my childhood counting stroke marks or ratherat times comparing them with my school mates, often I am thewinner…bwahahahaha.. while other probably enjoying the tender loving care fromtheir parents, showered with gifts etc. Imagine my life back then. Having towalk to school, having to do the household chores, etc.without any toys, but that’s not the worse, but corporal punishment was,without good reasons.

Truthfully, the onlywish I had back then was, I need to leave this house. And I must leave thishouse. I can no longer putting up with amonster in disguise. The trauma I endured, the coldness he had towards me,spanking a defenceless child without a good cause? I would really like todemand for answers, and it better be a damn good one. But so alas, there is no singleanswer to this question, he could not come up with any, merely because logicdoesn’t work for him, because all he said to me was : you can change a partnerbut I am your father and that is the fact you cannot change (by default a oneway street thinking) has he ever wonder, me being his daughter is by choice ?but anyway, some people can become so wedded to their particular view of howthing should work and by no surprise he happens to be one of them. And for thewoman who knows absolutely nothing (I kid you not, anything I ask “I don’tknow” is always her best answer) but when it comes to her Prince, well well,she sure has a lot to say. So during the last convo, my dear father shoutingfor all he might, I quote “ you are eating shit, you are useless for nothelping out” got me ponder, if I ate shit, then shit is all he fed me thru outmy growing up journey, so who to blame ? me? I don’t think so !! me is uselessfor not helping out? Hmm how about pumping in a few thousands a month to noend? Here is what happen, their o-so-precious son who’s now 30 but never work aday aye, manage to get married twice and now having two children. All thesefolks money went into supporting him, yet that isn’t enough, drag me into theequation with “ you are the sister or you are my daughter (wow since when) Imust contribute as well. Just imagine this peeps . I work 7 days a week 24hours isn’t enough for me, I do everything on my own, me counting on no one,yet they rightfully ask me to give my hard earn money away to a certain someonewho shake legs at home ?justifiable ? make any cow sense? And now suddenly I am useless bwahahahaha……wow !! I had my ultimatum right there and then. I said to him..

“ I walked out of thisso-called home, when I was 10, I have not caused any shame nor complain norcome back to beg for money, ooo trust me not a nickel I ask from them, neverworries them, never bothers them, so in my book if there should be some feelingof reciprocal obligation on the part of me, I believe I have been nothing but areal filial piety”

Hesaid to me, (I have waited 40 years for him to say this, never thought thiscame true) “I know I have treated you very badly, I now know the pain I havecaused you, I regretted what I have done to you, after realizing how bad it waswith you, this is why I have to make it up to your brother, if I did not helphim, then no one will” HUH…I was in a shock after he finished this statement.Fuyooo champion la him.

He did not right thewrong but make it up to another LMAO, I left after that statement made, I toldhim I can no longer keep providing for them or that fler. Shall he wishes todisown me, so be it !! Truth is everyone can be parents, but not everyone canbe respectable parents.

My dad & my mom (Iknow it gets confuse, will write about both my adopted parents next time) cameto know of this incident, both says “time to put a stop” to all that, I exhaleand nodded in agreement. Truthfully, I don’t make a lot of money every month. itis a once a year payouts/dividends for the fair share I hold from 50% to now70% from managing several companies, I will get quite an obscene amount ofdough that said. So all the happeninggot me thinking, many are the way that parents instil a sense of obligation intheir children(people are still practicing this, I cannot believe it). So byaccepting life and nurturance a child apparently incurs a debt that can berepaid only by meeting parental expectations? This is justifiable how? Much ismade of the burdens of parenthood, starting with the pain of childbirth, theloss of sleep with infancy, the endless driving required by organizedactivities, and so on. So “what do I owe my parents?” or “What does pita owesme?” this same question frequentlydistorts people’s lives well into, and sometimes throughout adulthood. Fact isthat our children owe us nothing. It was our decision to bring them into theworld. If we loved them and provided for their needs it was our task asparents, not some selfless act. I was a very new parent, I have no idea how totake care of a newborn baby, but I knew from the beginning that I am raisingher to leave me, and it was always my obligation to help her do this unburdenedby a sense of unending gratitude or perpetual debt. All this explain why Iwould not raise her the way my so-called “parents” had raised me. The samereason why I banned on corporal punishment , there was never a cane seen in myhousehold, pita has the freedom to speak however she likes, do whatever shelikes, because how one think is very personal, to dictate how one behave northink is only momentarily can never be permanent .

Sonow you know more or less there is to know about me, my dear friend Ashley oncesaid about me being garang (fierce), well, knowing my past now, how could I notstand up for myself, how could I not be brave when challenged? Or else whowill? How could I not be more gutsy? Or fierce? I love myself more then anything in the world, this attitude is best knownaround people who knows me really well i.e Alfred,Rob,Lynn etc, people who seesme thru my ups and downs and experiences has help me grow, wisdom will come toyour aid when you needed itholds true :D, I may not be very smart, nor my English is any good, but I canassure you my daughter’s future is secured with love and happiness, coz I alwayshas a minimum of 5 years plan ahead, so what else could an illiterate personlike me to ask for more? I already haveenough for what’s to have, so what else? This is a gift giving season, so Iwill give you the greatest gift of all, something that had help shape/strengthme, has been with me for 4 decades. I hope you will like and appreciate them likeI do, Even if you are facing a bitter aspect of life, for life is precious, don’tgive up.

My gift to all of you.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

2011-11-09T00:09:00.000+08:00

After trying many brands of cleansing oil, what do I have to say about this one? I am not going to explain what cleansing oil is or how it works , because I am sure all the beauty who wears makeup, be it my ardent silent readers know what cleansing oil really is.

I have heard of this cleansing oil long ago, but it never appear to me as a must have regardless how people being crazy over it or rave about it. However, of most brands I have tried, I never thought of buying this until I saw this in Watson (note: not all Watson store carrying this product here in Butterworth, I bought mine in Pacific Magamall's Watson) so it is safe to say the only store that carrying DHC products shall be the one in Pacific Megamall.

Packaging : What you see is what you get.

Texture : Quite thick definitely not runny.

Scent : Ahem...this is the only thing I like in totality of this product , pleasant Rosemary scent.

Price : RM89.90 for 200ml. (Ashley, please pick yourself up from the floor).

I apologize to the people who raved or loved about this...but so sad to say that, this is just an overpriced cleansing oil that just doesn't cut it for me. It isn't about the price but this is no different from a much affordable price regular cleansing oil. I have been using this for nearly a month now, I just do not see a significant difference before and after using this? My face stay the same, I am still in my 40s hahaha.. ok to be fair if I must name one that is beneficial to me from using this...is...it did not cause breakouts. aside of that...hmmm remove makeup like any other brand does, that said. Purenavi handsdown ! I will not repurchase after finishing this bottle for sure. there, there I paid RM89.90 for a mere curiosity.

Oh before I forget, I have been asked by many and once too many times, what kind/type of cleanser I use to double cleanse my face after cleansing oil ? Well the best cleanser that I wash my face with, is Tollyjoy Baby Bath (yea you heard right) approxi about RM8.50 for 750ml. You might be wondering why? I think my face can never be as sensitive or as soft as baby skin if not the bottom. So if a product made safe for babies, why do you think I use it? something for you to ponder..

SK II Skin Signature Cream In Foundation

2011-11-08T01:04:00.000+08:00

Been eyeing to get this for a while but has not gotten the time to shop , speaking of which I have been an extremely good girl of late *lol*, has not shopped for a single piece of cosmetics, that I have pita to thank for *winks*. (she is everything I work for today, meh I enslaved myself into serving her and only her). Anyway, SK-II. a pricey products that I have stopped investing into for nearly 10 years now, I used to be their loyal customer for wee years then. Bought them in kg every month without knowing why ahahaha...those were the day.

Reason of me buying this ? well hmm not that their product has better cosmetic/packaging I have seen better. but since my age now required me to get a better foundation to ease my starting-to-age-skin situation, so I got it. ahahahah...nahhh I do not need a reason to get things. I usually get anything however and whenever I want.

The SA that served at the outlet nearby my house is a little raw when it comes to ahem customer service, looking at her I said to myself in silent let it be , I am not going to give her hard time for once. She is raw in the way of trying to swatch the shade on the back of my hand (good lord) you know testing facial products on the back of your hand is very beneficial only for the back of your hand. I am there to buy a foundation that is cater for my face not my hand. So I told her, NOT MY HAND but my neck please ! trick that I learned very quickly for over the years in makeup is that, I do not test any foundation shades on my face but my neck instead, if the shade fits, the rest of my face makeup will blend in very well and the overall look would be nothing but perfect. I never, ever walk out of my house having my face looking fairer then my neck or vice verse. Finally she checked me out with just the foundation that comes with the sponge ???? where is the casing I asked???? she looks at me stunned with her mouth half open (I wonder I should laugh or to keep real quiet?) seconds later she said to me..."oooo that you have to buy the casing separately at the price of RM69" .... then I said : "oooooooo, why didn't you mention this before? and I would certainly like my foundation to go with a casing, I don't do no casing regardless I have to buy it separately?" another silent pause from her, then she continues " errrr because a lot of customers say that the casing is expensive so they rather not have it" ... I am not one of those customers, so I must get it period. Now that you know why I said she is raw. tsk tsk tsk !

Tips for buying the right foundation that I practice :

1) Bring your own handy LED light

2) Bring your own foundation + a brush or clean sponge

3) Bring your own makeup remover, preferably in sheets form

4) Wipe away the foundation you already applied, i.e on the side that is near to your ear or your neck, you do not have to wipe it all away alright. Take 10 mins let your face calm down, then test the foundation shades you intend to buy. Do not rush yourself, give yourself ample times to test and buy the right shade, hey it is your money and I am sure you want to buy the exact shade that best suits you. No one is going to bite nor rush you so please do not be embarrassing.

5) Wipe away whatever you have tested on your face, and re-apply the shade you have brought with you from home but if the new shade match then leave it as it is.

Ok how do I like about this foundation ? Let's see...

Coverage : Sheer to Medium which is fine for me, I do not have so much of skin problem, thus I do not really need a full coverage foundation. The coverage for this is perfect.

Consistency : Creamy but buttery smooth, thus it is best to apply this type of foundation with a brush. you will be wasting it if you apply this with a sponge. You can use a sponge to even it out later.

Staying Power : I can wear this for a good 8 hours without having to touch up whatsoever, then to be honest, I am in my 40s, I have a real mature skin, that could be a tad dry thus it lasted. this could be the case you see. So sometimes, one foundation works for others might not work just as fine for you, unless you know your skin condition really well and buying the right foundation is the key to lasting flawless makeup.

Shades : Various plus they have whitening range as well

Price : Moisturizing RM 199 / Whitening RM 159

Crimson Casing sold separately for RM69

All in all, I love this foundation,because it is easy to use and it did not cause breakouts which is a plus . It leaves my skin looking radiant and well moisturized. love it.

p/s : I have yet to come across wearing any foundation that will oxidize or turn into funky color after few hours of application. I have none of such mentioned encounter. I too never having to worry about touching up coz all of what I have they usually stay put until I remove it.hmmm...

Wish List

2011-09-30T16:40:00.004+08:00

Was working on my wish-list the other day (yes I do not have a long list *lol*) , discarding a few that had been granted and add on another few . Well I do shuffled them around from time to time but each time when I am holding this specific piece of wish in my hand, I will always find myself sighing relentlessly merely because this is the ONLY item I have not gotten it and it has been years. reason being? I could not find it. well at least I could not find it here. This is a rather common item yet uncommon here locally. Believe me each year when my birthday is due, I will be bothered by this one wish that I have yet to strike of the board (Tho I do not celebrate my birthday, but it has been a tradition set by yours truly to get something, and each year I will certainly get something that holds a great value).

Finding this is harder then a Pandora box hahahaha.... yup yup it is that hard...but I will be taking my long-over-due vacation in December, and hopefully I will able to bring "it" home with me. So wish me luck hehehe... anyway, do you have a wish that has not being fulfilled ? Do share aye.

Have a great weekend everyone !

Purenavi Trio

2011-09-07T00:00:00.005+08:00

Me being a devotee of cleansing oil, who's constantly trying to find a better one that comes with reasonable price tag. I have tried many brands from departmental store to drugstore and by far only 1 brand I bow greatly to which is Bobbie Brown Cleansing Oil, but the price tag made me shout hallelujah aloud. However, since I am all tie up with many many things to do, getting this cleansing oil has been a real problem to me, nearly next to impossible, because I need to keep bothering this one person to help fetch a bottle whenever he goes to Penang. after a while I got too tired to even ask anymore, so under the choice-less circumstances, I will grab any brand I could find either from Watson or Guardian nearby.

Guess GOD has finally made up his mind to shine me the way, on one occasion of which pita is craving for A & W corny dog and the only A & W outlet nearby is about hmmm...approx 30 minutes drive from where I live, so we went all the way to Jusco in Bukit Mertajam. After the bla bla plus more bla blasss later... I stopped by Watson and saw this.. I guess this Purenavi must have been around for quite sometimes already, but hey...like I said.. I no longer have any extra time for shopping..nor meeting friends * sighing relentlessly*.. Anyway, I was very doubtful when I held the bottle in my hand and thinking to myself " would this be another bottle of, not-so-satisfying-and-takes-forever-to-get-the-job-done-kind?" but hey never try never know right? so my money down on a bottle of 150ml , the price it is either RM35.90 or RM39.90 kaching....regardless it is still cheaper in compare to BB. and boy I must say.....this is PERFECT !!!

This cleansing oil is unlike most of the drugstore brands I had tried be it, Neautrogena, or ZA or Aqualabelle, Secret Beauty, Biore Pink or Hada Labo you name it. This is lightweight and works like a charm. Remove especially waterproof mascara effortlessly and the best part , I can still feel my skin while massaging and it does not sting nor irritates my eyes, which is great. I would say this is 90% close to BB cleansing oil as in texture or rather the consistency, except this is scentless and the latter is pleasantly scented. And by the way did I mention this is also good for sensitive skin? If only my English is as good as me stuffing my mouth with my foot, I would definitely be writing a sonnet for this, you bet !

Cleansing Oil

Purenavi Gel Cleanser : I picked this out of curiosity, it is a foam cleanser, nothing special to share on this one, just another regular cleanser. Priced at RM 23 ++ . But then If I must name one benefit it would be...well..you do not feel like your face being chained meaning no tightening feeling. no irritation. like I said before...just like a regular mild foam cleanser.

Purenavi Foam Cleanser : ohhhhh this baby is rather worth a praise, this self-foaming cleanser all you need is a squirt, massage gently onto your face and feel an instant moisture surged during and after wash. My face is as soft/clean as the baby bottoms after towel dry. I love this ! 150ml priced at RM30 ++ . I would strongly suggest you get this one instead of the gel cleanser.

So all this for now..

Cosway Colour Sense Makeup Eraser Pencil

2011-08-27T08:57:00.008+08:00

Dropped by Cosway one day to pick up a few bottles of fabric softener (they are really good by the way) I am usually quite an express shopper, in and out for less then 10 mins. So while waiting for them to print me a receipt (don't know why it has to take more then 5 mins, just printing a receipt ? ) then I saw this..without asking much just add this into the bag and get going.

Came home, and totally forgotten about it, well me and my poor memory (I suspect I have misplaced my brain somewhere, hopefully will find it someday). So one day while I was doing my makeup, time has no mercy, I am already late for work yet my hands decided to play-hard-to-get on me, funny thing is this, things just don't seem to go the way you want when you are in the hurry, any of you have the same experience? right there drawing a wink becoming hmmm...whole bunch of black spot :|. Cussing while looking for Q tip to wipe it off before it dries down to a complete mess. Then I remember, I think I got something of the sort to serve this kind of emergency situation.... searching ...found it yay.....

Mystery Parcel & Apple Brand Leather Care

2011-08-26T18:28:00.016+08:00

Mailman got me when I am about to leave home, he handed me a small parcel that required my doodles, kinda made me wonder *from who*? after signing for the parcel I took a quick glance ahh Ashley !! but then I am so very late to fetching pita from school, thus I leave the parcel on the table murmur to myself will open it when I get home. :D...

Her p.s is really funny... read it if you can sorry for the shaky hands.., I am too lazy to retake the photo, but guess what ? my visions/eyes are just as pooooorrrr... I must make it a point to get my eye-lasik by this year end.

A lovely note + a jar of hmmm I wonder what that is? oh well will ask her but it smells menthol/minty. A adorably cute phone charm (suspect she made this herself) if she does, she can sell this coz they were well made :D....Thanks dearie ! your love received with appreciation hehe..

Question raised by a few of my friends asking...how to care for a leather bag? well for someone who like to take care most of everything including toe nails... they ahem often targeting me as if I know everything or have answers for everything... iyai yai.... but anyway that is not the point, knowing them well...I know them too well to know that shall I recommend something they will be saying this next " ok please help get it for me" :|. supposed I did help...I will be expecting this next " when will it be arriving? why so long?" mark this folks, for a starter I help you without profiting anything, and I did mention it might take a while. I have gone thru all the shit in the name of HELPING others, but hey people are being people, they basically count on you to do EVERYTHING shall you promised to help..after a while I really grew tired of all this. so whenever they ask, and to make life easy for myself, not that I have not gotten enough of loads, I say I do not know, have no idea whatsoever. I know my chole for my chile, but what I do not understand is this..helping means I do what I can not everything capisce ?

Ok now back to leather care...hahaha sorry side tracked. I've been having this for years and they look after and been serving my investments well. The only brand I swear by to take care of my leather bags. Easy to use and the result is satisfying.

The product comes in a set, a leather cleaner and leather care which helps to condition and maintain your bag in superb buttery soft condition after you clean it. I do not like spraying leather stuff with stain or rain repellent, because they often darken the color shall you prefer or have lighter color goods. Besides I hardly carry any of them around so, this is my least worries. After I ran out of my previous set I bought a life time ago, I tried to look for it locally but to my surprise it cost a bomb ,a set of this marketed at above RM100 *shocking*. So I trouble a friend to help get it for me I paid RM60 for all include shipping etc.

For a 4 FL.OZ you can use for a very long time, because all you need is just a little that goes a long way. Simple and easy.

It comes with a polishing cloth, and a care guide, but I do not use this piece, I use other polishing cloths instead.

Few designers that I used this on...basically, cowhide,calf, buffalo, even coated canvas i.e LV etc, I do not use this on my other nappa nor lambskin collections. Simply put, I do not apply this for anything that is above 5 grand bags. For bags that is made of nylon or canvas guess how I clean them...toss them into the washer and that's it...hahahaha...yea like what happen before with the white ones.

I took care and baby my stuff, but just in case you wonder what my day to day bag is like? I will show you gladly...here you go...this is the one I am using on a daily basis.. all I need is a bag that is say yea big, that carry few items...wallet,sunny,phone, a lip balm sometimes , a few recycle bags (thanks to no plastic bag days). that is all I carry with me. I have my reason why I don't fling my designers around, and that would be another story for another day.

Nab this off flea market for 2 bucks long ago, still good tho..

Size is about Medium of Longchamp Le Pliage

Cute ain't it...so I guess people cannot be define by what they carry with them or what they have.. *winks*...Anyway, try it out, you might just find yourself a great leather care products that is not expensive yet get the work done.

Scholl Ballet Flats !

2011-08-17T21:11:00.004+08:00

Guess what I found ? went to Guardian for a stroll and found this...haha I got them right away without thinking twice.

Material : Shinning Faux Leather

Price : RM 23.71

Size : In various size

Color : Black for now I guess.

I bought them because they are really cool and unique, tho I am into flats or sneakers, chances for me wearing them is nearly impossible, but hey you'll never know, besides they fold neatly in a small pouch, just toss them into your purse you are good-to-go. 2nd reason, it can be an emergency backup for friends in need.

The shoes made with very soft synthetic material, with full length padded insoles thus you don't feel like you are actually wearing shoes, very comfortable.

Slip resistant sole, quite solid actually for a fold-able shoes.

Who wear them ?

People who has been in heels all day long but refuse to run or walk around with bare feet. This would help relieve tired aching feet momentarily.

People who put on a new pair of shoes, this would help aid your potential "uncomfy feet or shoes situation"

People who has been partying all night in ahem..killer stiletto heel. The kind that you can actually use as a weapon if you get robbed.

So what do you think?

R.I.P. Grandma !!

2011-08-10T12:07:00.002+08:00

Perhaps it is due to me constantly squeezing my brain cells,or I am purely exhausted? or I have Alzheimer’s disease? I am seriously running out of ideas of how to write about this? But regardless what I have I will try to finish this post *lol* .

I’ve got to know from my aunt last year this time that my grandma had 3^rd stage cervical cancer. I am either a real heartless person or my heart is made of iron K. While they were waiting for my reaction, maybe they figured the news will shocked me? Or expect me to at the very least cry a little? But guess what? I feel nothing (sheesh how could this be?) what’s wrong with me? How could I feel absolutely nothing? Maybe I really am insane? My idol is dying and I feel nothing? Hmmm….

Wait ! if you’re wondering whether I am pretending to be strong and crying is a shame the answer is a solid N-O or if you’re wondering why I am awfully calm and felt nothing hell I would like to know it too. Or lastly if you’re thinking ahhh maybe my grandma and I have some unsettle scores or they were not really close you are wrong……ahahahaha… we were very close ! so what happen? Truth is I do not know and wasn’t planned on cracking my head searching for any valid answers hahahah… all you need to know is that my family members found my reaction to the news intolerable *sighs*

My grandmother, my mentor. a real strong will person who raised all her 7 kids on her own, my grandpa passed on at the age of 30 something left behind a widow (my grandma) when she was only 31 with 7 children and nothing else. Well imagine that. Same reason why I claimed I grew up in an extremely poor family I wasn’t bluffing you. We were very poor but she still managed to keep everyone safe and sound. So now that you know why she was my mentor.

Everyone including all her 7 children hide her medical condition from her (which I strongly disagree) all they told her was “ oh mother doctor said you have a few lumps down there, so don’t worry about it” hey if I am going to die, I would love to know the truth of how I die, or die from what? don’t you? But since they have all decided to hide from her, I cannot say much really, up till today I still think it was very wrong regardless the good intent they claimed to be bla bla…

However, month after her departure I am still trying to figure out why is that I have no emotions whatsoever? Albeit I kept telling myself to just let it go, part of me says “forget it” but my moral conscience says I need a truly good reason if is not convincing at least let it be something that make me feel better. I know the answer lies somewhere in my brain I just have to dig it out . so I concluded that…with…

1)
I am a nut case and that includes: heartless, without compassion, lack of the capacity to feel sorry for those in pain?
2)
My tear ducts are all shut.

Or the other great possibility is this, I loved her but her condition was irreversible she was suffering, she was terminally ill and knowing very well that she will die. On her very last few days, she has an utter lack of cognizance and an inability to have any meaningful exchange or even contact, she has no intrinsic value; she lies in her bed with no apparent capacity to discern or think, her days have devolved into a horrible cycle of soiling her bedshhets . Witnessing all that, I could not help myself to think that, if only she dies now because her life is misery and there is no sanctity in that. For a person who was once steel strong plus a grand lover of life. Because I know only death would safeguard her dignity, and self-respect or to end her suffering. I cannot bare to see her brain continue to rot until all her vital organs shut down, shrinks to 20 pounds, her esophagus close up, so she could no longer eat and she begins to suffer a grand mal seizures (few times actually). I am sorry I did not cry but felt a sense of relief or to the point of laughing aloud. I am cheering all the way, to a lot of people and that includes my family members found it unacceptable , and perhaps you too think that I am insane. But truth be told… would you choose to live like that? Would anybody? I actually see my future there for a second , and I did tell Pita and trust her to prevent my end from becoming a mindless piece of must shall that one day comes, well it will anyway.. I am opted to euthanize my death, because it’s the only decent, humane and loving thing a person can do for the one they loved.

Sometimes, the word we offered to the family “sorry for your loss” or “ my condolence to you” isn’t exactly offer much comfort but in this case, my grandma died at the age of 90 so, not exactly a loss . but I am greatful she died peacefully . :D my prayers were with her minus the tears.

Up For A Good Laugh Anyone ?

2011-06-13T11:21:00.013+08:00

Been long waiting for a school holiday to come, and finally it's here, figured I could used of a good rest during the school break and all, do some clearing-shit-out-of-my-closet. (mind you not that they are dirty and all) but I need to get rid of something and perhaps wash something. But some unfortunate incident arises when I got a call from my aunt, sounding all alarming that they have to admit my grandma to the hospital bla bla.

My grandma is terminally ill and it has been hell of a week arranging this and that, I could not any busiest as I am right now. Enduring a lot of tension, pressure you name it, I have it. Along side with Pita needs to get her teeth fixed, gum surgery bla bla...don't ask !

Two weeks of a school holds had gone in a snap, for I have not gotten what-needs-to-be-done, done. But what the heck, I'll try squeezing my time to the max, by doing what I got to do in the day and leave the rest in the evening, that would usually right after 10 o'clock. Boo well yea that's life I guess. You know what they say about, do not do something when you are overly tired ? you might end up messing things up? well it applies in this manner...LOL.

Was rearranging my closet one evening, after coming back from visiting my grandma. Replacing the dehumidifier (moisture absorber) *note : if you don't know what that is look it up* I am just too lazy to details them out. I do replace them every 3 weeks or so, be it in the closet or shoe cabinet. Then I saw a few bags was greeting me by showing their faces. Thinking to myself, well I guess I need to find a proper place for them. Blame myself for being a shorty, I try pulling them out from the top shelving without a good leverage you can now imagine what happen next... everything were on the floor naturally. I sat on the floor while sorting out a certain bag, some need sun bathing, then some need washing, then got this specific bag out of the sleeper bag. after storing it for so long it has a sort of smell or rather musty odor, bag has turning it's color from off white to yellowish . Common sense say I need to give the bag a real good wash, or rather try restoring it to it's former glory.

You know I ain't smart or wise at all, on the contrary I am quite stupid. For I have not though of the leather trimming around the logo could possibly bleed. Can't blame me tho, coz I tried washing one bag of the same brand before and the result was pristine. but I was wrong of this specific ones.

Now let's take a look and if you are being unhappy right now, this might give you a good laugh.

This was the one I washed before, still in a

very good condition, smelling all fresh and

clean.

This is what happen when you do not read the

product labels before washing..... then again who would

have though the freaking logo will bleed....arghhh

Bahahahahaha..... how's that... for a smart ass..

I toss the bag into the washer, wash it in the cold delicate cycle, and ta daa... genius !! I was laughing so hard when I got the bag out of the washer... Geezz what a Prada. 1st I went LOL..then follow by hmmm...then lastly...I realized well... guess there isn't much I can do right now, I should just take a shower and go to bed, will deal with it tomorrow.

For the following few days before the school holds ended, I was really busy and all, but came home and saw the bag hanging there, figured well maybe I could try washing it again this time with Shout Color Catcher (again look it up) hehehe.... but to no luck.. the same result, nothing more and nothing less. Pita keep saying " well, maybe you should just get a new purse". yet again I let it lie around will fix it later. For you don't already know, I don't give up easily. because I keep thinking, hey this is a BAG, and there is NO WAY I can't resolve this color transfer thingy.

Finally, here is the result after last night with me cracking my head, mixing this and that together, heaps of blotting later... and..... FUYOOOOOOOOOO... I could not be any smarter....ahahahahaha........

How about that? well the end result was not all perfect but I am satisfy !!

Happy Valentine's Day !

Me wishes all of you have a wonderfully sweet & safe valentines !!

Bits & Pieces

2011-02-10T18:17:00.005+08:00

GONG XI FA CAI everyone *waves* now where is my ang pao ? So, how's new year treating all of you? how many ang pao did you get this year? care to share some of them with me? No? oh well can't blame me from trying... :P Anyway, I do not have any ang pao to share with you guys but I do have a few interesting stories to share, so here goes :-

Story 1

*ahem* clear throat !! what do you say to someone who is totally refused to be who she really is? beat me I don't have a freaking clue. Been pondering over this one question for a while, and my " a while" is usually hmm 2-3 months. Story starts this way..... war between my two very interesting colleagues namely : PL & Dina. Dina is a single mother blessed with two teenagers a girl & a boy. I know a little bit about her based on her inputs. but get this ,she hates Indian. (wait wait hold your horses don't get all work up or get offended by this).... truth be told she is an Indian herself. So whenever I heard her keep repeating the same phrases over how much she hated Indian, I am keeping real quiet, rubbing my chin and ponder over that statement "WHY" ? hell I have a lot of Indian friends and most of them are fairly nice to me. But I do have a not-my-problem-and-don't-ask-why policy. so all this time I am basically right ear in and left ear out. problem solved ! this has been happening for almost a year now and all this time I am fine with it. Each time she turns to me and ask " do I look or act like an Indian" my answer is rather very simple, I show her a real courteous gesture I shrug without a word. I mean what do you want me to say? I get real annoy over-time but since her mouth grew on her face, she has the right to say whatever for all I care, long as she doesn't throw me another " do I look or act like an Indian" But then here is the twist , a week ago she and PL was arguing aloud over the same pathetic issue, I happen to be there during this mouth wrestling. Out of no where she raise her voice, then she looked at me, she goes " Elyn, please tell this donkey, I am not an Indian, all this time I have been asking you do I look like an Indian or act like one? I noticed you have been evading this question, now please be honest with me" FINE !!! you want my most sincerest answer ? are you sure you can take the heat? the heat that comes from me? you sure is that what you really want? she said YES out loud...ok then so here is what I said to her.

Me : Dina, what is your religion?
Dina : Catholic I believe in GOD !
Me : What is your Ethnicity ?
Dina : She paused ! got her once.
Me : and in case you don't know what that is? what is your culture? heritage? language that you speak? song that you listen to? your cell phone ring-tones ?
Dina : mummering....
Me : The man that you are seeing now is he not Indian?
Dina : Oooooo he is different !
Me : is he or is he not Indian?
Dina : ........
Me : Now, please spare me the irritation, while I spare you the embarrassment /feelings STOP asking me this again alright?

Bottom line is, one can dislike something or someone to a certain extant, but you can never changed what is in your blood, let alone running away from what you really are. To live your life being pretentious of what you are not, man that is no life ........

Story 2

When was the last time you visited a fortune teller? rumor has it, is that fortune teller has the ability to predict your future or lucky number that is most likely to strike 1st prize. remarkable ain't it? to me, people that had visited a fortune teller is ignorant. why? here is why..

Gruesome 1

Who will be visiting a fortune teller? when one is facing a relationship problems, or keen to know if he/she is the "right" one. or maybe, breaking off is on the verge they are keen to know if there is a way to salvage? by visiting a fortune teller could help to put their mind at some level of ease. bwahahahahaha...... fact here is that, of course it is a whole lot cheaper paying a fortune teller then paying a shrink. and sometimes if you were lucky, your number came up 1st prize, common sense says " wow, the fortune teller is indeed something, the number he gave me strikes, follows with praise and rave" and common sense wins. see.....LOL

Gruesome 2

If one can predict your future , why is he/she sitting in a shack whole day or perhaps night making a chicken shit amount of money from the patron? albeit a lot I heard made their pot of gold from fortune telling. but this is just making no sense to me at all. how about them buying the potential 1st prize numbers? why gave the number to who ever that visited them? because they are kinda clever in a way. if they bet on numbers they are most likely to lose out. 2ndly giving away lucky numbers, you will be betting on their behalf with your money of course and when the number strikes, you shall be back for a donation, amount could at times be obscene. meanwhile help to spread the news, aka free promotion, good for the business. see how clever they really are.....hahahahaha

Truth here is that, if you're driving a fast car (I called this type F1 wannabe) you will be killed that takes no fortune teller to know that. If you're in a romantic relationship your partner could be someone you dream off day and night but when you do not have a right attitude, breaking off is in a matter of time, and that too takes no fortune teller. List roll on..... life is often how one make it, it has a lot with what you do,your behavior, how you live. you need no fortune teller, you can be your own fortune teller. so please don't even bother to believe a shit they pour to you.

Why me telling you all this? because I have recently visited one, not on my own freewill , I was in a car ridding with a friend, to me this friend spend most of her life living around fortune tellers, I can't say a shit about it, like I said before, I am not going to nose in when it is not my problem. 1st we have a nice lunch together, just when I thought we were heading home, she turns another way, when I ask her where are we going she grins, I hate it when she did that. anyway, reaching a strange destination, some jungle area, by the time I realized , it is rather too late to bail, I am in the middle of some unknown jungle *wtf*. so there sat this one elderly lady in her late 40s. I browse around the area, while my friend getting the so-called predicament. 30 mins later, everything was done and over. Just when I am about to leave, the lady says to me, do you want it too? (of course my evil advocate is acting up, I was thinking, I can be an ass at any given moment, so I said yea why not since I am here, but truthfully, my intention isn't about getting my fortune told, but it was all about getting her ass. I can be really mean at times). After sitting down the 1st question she asks " which year did you born" ?

Me : hey you are the fortune teller, how about you tell me for all I need to know about myself?
Lady : ..... scrutinize my face, try to read me.
Me : checking out her makeup... she should pluck/trim her eyebrow, too much blusher.
Lady : done reading me, you hold a great position in a beauty industry, management level of sort. You're married with kids. You are a real discipline person, even me fear you.
Me : holds my LOL, man it was a real torture for holding it. yea sure you should fear me, because I am ought to get your, but I'll let you keep sugar coating me while you still can.
Lady : There is nothing much to tell about your life, you have a great life.
Me : that's it? you seem to say a lot about my friend here, but me nothing further to spill? and I am paying the same price? 10 bucks?
Lady : no no, since there is nothing much to tell about you, this is free, no charge.
Me : got up, since she is being nice, I spared her.

I did say something to her, 1st my look or the kilo of makeups I put on, not necessary means I am in the beauty industry, my job has nothing to do with the makeup. So I gave her my card. 2ndly I only have a daughter, not kids. 3rdly my life isn't exactly great, I am working till my ass on smoke. lastly you are afraid of me, that is because you cannot read anything off my face, and you got something to hide so that said. but thanks anyway. Got into the car and my friend got an earful. she called me in the evening and said. " my husband said it was a wrong decision bringing you to the fortune teller" bwahahahaha.....man knows me best I guess.

p/s : I am one hell of a fortune teller myself, I might go into field after I retire. what do you think.....lol

View On Sucidal Tendencies

2011-01-11T21:45:00.004+08:00

Been reading newspaper of late of which I have not been doing for like hmmm ages,yea that long. and each time I got pissed off/disappointed whenever I read about xxx jump off and kill themselves bla bla. Who does that? and why? believe it or not this so-called relief is not exactly a relief is it? why die for one reason? where you can have or the very least give yourself 10 reasons before you think of taking your own life?

I never believe for a second people are or were being stupid. Just that some people are a fast learner and some takes time, but there are no stupid people in this world except we sometimes made a few bad decisions that might cause a heart-ache or perhaps broke but it will be ok gradually. Suicidal oh comon give me a freaking bueak. I tell you what... If (tho I don't subscribe to IF) I ever made it to the local newspaper headline I am fucking sure someone have murdered moi. I have all the valid reason in the world to KILL MYSELF yet I chose to live,not that I am afraid of dying or anything. all I can tell you is that, I am no QUITTER but a SURVIVOR. ahahahaha....shameless me , I don't mind you spitting on that note.....like I care ! but seriously, tho life can be a bitch sometimes, but then again look on the bright side, life is worth every effort, life is precious, life is when it grabs you on your ass all you gotta do is keep your cool and give it a longgggg farttttttttttt for all you might.

Reasons For Not Taking Your Own Life

First Of, Supposed you're being dumped by whatever assshole out there, read the term is ASSHOLE, does it worth your precious life, dying due to parting? and what happen to the people that loved you? your parents or sometimes grandparents? does it occurs to you that, these people are all the reason why you should live on? fulling your dreams and theirs? what would you be putting them thru? you see this is the time these people will get cheated easily, they will start counseling sessions (not to mention the money they pay to the shrink/ at times out of desperation they will be visiting a psychic as well) are you going to put them thru all that? and just that you think of taking your own life you shall be able to finally RIP and ripping the living into million of pieces? think twice.

Secondly, speaking from hands-on experience as a mother, child bearing is never easy, constantly worrying and wondering is the little one inside your tummy, is the baby going to be ok?, would the baby be born with defect or healthy? and when the baby is having a lazy day and stop kicking you will start getting real alarming, all the nightmares,swelling,constant urination, cramps not to mention some have morning sickness till the end. So going thru all that, just to bring you to this beautiful world and this is how you repay them? is this justice? what happen to all the love they gave you? have you forgotten of all that? Got dump so what? being broke so what? hey let me clue you buddy, THERE IS NO WINNER IN A FAIL RELATIONSHIP AND NO ONE CAN BE BROKE FOREVER.

Please DO NOT kill yourself, give yourself all the reason in the world why not to, think about people that cares about you, think about your parents waiting to give you away one day and be proud of you, think of what you can do during the time of duress, just don't give up.

p.s : If you are in the middle of a breakup let me give you a bear hug as a sign of encouragement, cry all you want, just pay for my laundry...hehehe kiddin. If you are broke, well hang in there, money don't fall off sky overnight, there will be a turning point, be sure to cheer up.

The Thought Of New Year

2011-01-05T10:41:00.002+08:00

Time Flies and with a lot of happy new years' were said and we are now marching into another year, I am sure some of you have started making new year resolution of sort. After watching firework across town from my balcony it got me thinking regardless how much hardship one has to bear thru out a life time, life goes on...hahaha..

When someone started planning for a getaway or making a new year resolution, or you might be at this very point crying over a fail relationship or perhaps thinking of what to buy yourself next,. me however, on this end is still trying to figure out what's up with the phrase "Happy New Year "means? see here is the thing, most of the time people that I met, half of them usually spend a great amount of time to have me figured out but one thing I can tell you is that, most of them have no idea what is in my head...or what I plan to do next.. not that I am anywhere near complicated nor sophisticated.. well I give in to I am a weirdo yea that just it. or maybe I am just someone who is so getting use to suppress my emotions, hence people can't read me, I rooooonooo....

Now back to Happy New Year, truth be told in my line of work, I got heaps of those happy-new-year throwing at me the moment I clocked into work, I spent whole day at work presumably 8-9 hrs receiving and reciprocated until my mouth kinda went numb..haiz... I have started to get real annoy after spending 5 hours listening to that, so what I did was I ask some of them " what's to be happy about the new year? are you not happy for the rest of the other 364 days? " then of course I was being an ass.....ahahahaha.... I love being that sometimes btw. So they said, errrrr "nothing" or " just a greeting" etc. then comes this very funny uncle whom I have known for years, has been a very loyal customer, he said " wishing YOU happy new year, because you deserved all the happiness" bwahahahaha....so I replied " what makes you think that I am not happy?" then he goes on and on and on as I was laughing all the way....finally I settled the score with an OK.

To me New Year is just a change of calender and pita growing another year older. I was down with viral infections before Christmas, it was an on and off things, fever comes and goes until it finally acts up kaboomm. was having a temperature of 42°C (107.6 °F) boy, am I hot or what....hahahaha.... and guess what's funny when I am fallen sick? I was in bed wondering who to call ? no one came to mind.. so I pop 2 aspirins and wait for 30 mins, dragged myself out of bed and drove to a nearby hospital. during that time I really wish that pita is already 18, guess that's the only time I really wishes shes 18. I mentioned this to her after I got better, and she said to me " mom, don't be silly, I would not be around you anymore if I have turn 18" ooooo yeaaaa .... forgot about that's part of the plan....hahaha...so that's how I spent my Christmas & New Year, I was too busy fallen sick and been lying in bed like nothing but a dead fish, yet again I still managed to go to work on January 1st. You can't win it all in life, there is always temptations flying around but you do have a choice to be happy with whatever you already have with you. regardless new year or not, sad or sorry hey trying to be happy and stay happy. I never had or make any new year resolution so do speak, because I know I cannot keep up if I ever made any. I am more into a day to day kind. and I am happy in general.

But anyway, for what is worth I wish you all have a eventful happy 2011. Nice number tho, might strike a lotto .....hahaha... take care of yourself, weather is bad these days, do watch out your diet and make sure to keep all the viral at bay.

Note : TJ & Ashley *hugs & kisses* I wish you two have a fruitful 2011, sorry for yet to reply any of your mails, I am still recovering from my illness, my body is all sore and weak. Pita started school so this means time to get busy again.....haiz... life is a bitch, please allow me to have a moment of rant hehehehe.... til then you two take care , be happy and stay healthy.

My Online Shopping Woes

2010-11-29T22:23:00.002+08:00

Online shopping is good for people like me, who wish to buy something without having to weave through crazy traffic, or being BBQ under the scorching heat of hi noon, but at my own convi time. and all is well so far. until lately .....

The story goes like this : -

I was browsing one night, and saw this one bag, then I want it and after reading all the terms & conditions plus customer's review/comments etc, I wrote to the seller inquired of the availability, I nabbed it. see the processes is as simple as that, of which I figured it should be as simple as that as well, but here comes the best part.

Whatever had been written on the page claimed that " BUY WITH CONFIDENT" and whatever had been said appeared to me this seller is somewhat reliable. I gladly paid RM3+++ for the bag and may I say I complied to every shit bit of the T & C as shown on the page without asking any shit bit of bargain and btw, I never like to ask for a discount unless discount is given without promoting otherwise. I have done my part, now all I got to do is wait for the bag to be delivered to my doorstep. two days passes, nothing, wait another day still nothing. Figured I have the right to know the delivery status, because I have a life to run and somewhere to be, I cannot stay home and wait forever without knowing when would the item be reaching me. hence I made up my mind to write to the seller. My 1st e-mail to the seller, I got a lemon meaning no news. After checking with Ashley, she suggested try writing another e-mail, duly noted and I did it.

Finally, the seller replied, claiming fallen sick and would not be able to send the item blah blah, promised to send the item on Monday, which is today. I doubt she sent it today, hence another e-mail to her. She explained no shit bit of why, but gave me another date.

Now I must say, I have never been through so much misery thus far, this is the 1st and now my question, what happen to all the BIG TALK and COMMITMENT display boldly on the page? what happen to shop/buy with confident? you know what is the most fundamental principle one should attain be it a seller or buyer , the word here is CREDIBILITY. I never having to write to a seller or having a buyer writing to me before this. but now I am questioning how credible this seller really is. Don't do it when you are not be able to commit to what you are doing let alone promising the star and moon.

Friday

2010-11-26T18:40:00.003+08:00

Went for a movie (Harry Potter) today with pita at the nearby shopping mall. The moment I walked in oh my oh my Christmas is here already? I must have been dead all this time.....hahaha..but anyway, they were dressing up the mall nothing massive but enough to make you feel "the spirit of kissmoss".

Believe it or not, I no longer had the desire of shopping. Shoes,dress,bags,cosmetics, they look the same to me these days. and today, it makes no exception, I went and came home empty handed well except had our tummy filled :D. Pita did buy something tho.

Came home and gave a call to Ashley, she sounded fine over the phone. but me on the other hand had something in my head, I couldn't go on yakking, so it was a brief call. anyway, I want to try to write some short electronic day to day life journal, before my memory get wipe out completely. and someday soon, someone will come up and say to me " your life has been terminated" so, I better leave some life footage, for me or anyone who has access to this page to read or help me to remember things I used to do or fun I used to had, or sadness I used to live.

Somewhat..

2010-07-14T20:48:00.005+08:00

Got an unpleasant news from a long lost friend, knowing that his mother is now in some-sort of critical condition lying in a private hospital in Penang, which I have not gotten the time to visit. then follow by me having some hangover episodes, with everything bottled up my neck to the point of suffocating. So I need some refreshing air/sight so do speak.

When everything seemingly fallen apart, it got me wonder, would my life be better if I had not return to Malaysia? Well things are clearly would have been a lot easier, like for instance, getting a babysitter to look after pita as and when I needed some personal time,of which I am currently not granted with one. I do everything, and when I said everything it really meant EVERYTHING.... except I no longer need to wipe her bottom or breastfeeding her but apart from that I take care of everything. From fixing the leaking tap to changing light-bulbs, etc . So right here I dare claim that, I bring up a child on my own (this mean, me and me and me) without an extra pair of helping hands. I'll just have to suck it all up. LOL...

Pros : Independent, cautious, knows most of everything, have not by far run into any accident or emergency. I always think ahead and think fast.

Cons : No personal time, work till my ass on fire, exhausted, weary, and most of all stress.

My lovely neighbor, a young couple blessed with two adorable kids, I like them a lot once asked : why don't you hired some hourly maid to help clean your house? Well, I explained I don't have the luxury of the so-called easy life, and here is why...

1st : the service center usually drop off the cleaning lady sometimes around 8am in the morning (supposedly for a full 8 hours service) and will pick them up at 5-6pm. The idea is good, especially for someone like me who likes the cleanness and never likes to have a live in maid. but I have a problem...

2nd : I need to fetch pita from school at 1.20pm pronto, so what should I do with the maid in the middle of cleaning my house? I cannot leave her all alone in my house now can I? I will probably need to ask her to step outside and wait until I return from fetching. Then again, by 3pm I need to send pita for tuition, again I might need to ask her to step outside. so, how do you like the idea so far? before you suggest "oh why don't you just leave her in the house"? because I never like the idea of having strangers in my house, I am not comfy with the idea.

3rd : and just in-case you're thinking of suggesting how about weekends? well guess what I have to work on weekends,end of story.

Now that I have this unknown breast lumps, I need to brew tea and cook as well, so topple up with existing chores, I can't believe I am still alive and yet to die. hahahahaha.... I have so much to do with only so many hours in a day, I sometimes wish that a day has 48 hours, bad news to you perhaps but a real good news to me.

Then comes pita, a kid that I cannot abandon nor she can live without me. She use to tag along to the office on weekends, but as she grew older, she no longer wishes to follow me around no more. She rather watch t.v. or play wii at home. It worries me initially of leaving her at home all by herself. So I ask my brother if he could help look after pita on weekends for me? he agreed, so his whole family includes his two evil-ish kids came over once. By the end of the day when I got home, I mistaken my house for a dump-site. Apparently, he did not watch over his kids....they messed up my house, so that's it !! it explains a lot why his house is always so messy. I am noise & mess & brightness intolerable. I can go insane with them. So after that incident, I gladly leave pita all by herself at home, and tweeted my lovely neighbor to keep an eye, which they gladly do so, and they sometimes bring her along whenever they go out...hahaha... they have a dota who is 2 years older then pita, and the best thing they get along oh so fine.

Then finally me with a pile of rants, infinite chores/stress, everything just kinda get to me, all this is like some sweet poison killing me slowly yet softly and I ended up breaking someone's heart which I still have not figured out why... sounds weird? well.....I don't have a clue !!

If you ask when was the last time I put on a peel-off-mask? that would be eons of god forbidden years. Yup that long ago and the best part it belongs to my aunt...LOL. you know how we kids were......simple put....curious...according to my granny I was hell of a kid when I was little....whenever I see my aunt(s) doing something or put on something, from painting toe nails to peel-off-mask....I want...yea that's me..

and most of the time I got what I wanted that would be after errrrr....I stomp my feet, crying out loud, let's see what else I remember from my childhood a side of being poor, hmmm oh yea not forgetting chewing off ribena cap (70's cap made of aluminum btw) and got a cut on my lips from sharp edges after I successfully opened the cap with my strong teeth *grins*, so I basically bugged the hell out of them, so they caved in...hehehe. up until today they still talk about how I bit off the ribena cap.....ahahahaha

Anyway, yesh, Naris-Up familiar with this japun brand? seen it before? wonder if their products are any good? I wonder the same when I 1st saw it....as you know I don't buy stuff from reading reviews, I don't need a review. Imagine those days without reviews :P.

Just a little side note incase you ms-sight " I got burned bad from reading reviews previously, ends up buying a truck load of shit instead, so since then I made up my mind to stand up, I no longer wish to tolerate all those sun-comes-out- from-the-west- set- on- the- east reviews, thank you very muchy"

Don't trust me either I may be bluffing you as well you see, hence I called it a share. Products that I bought and share here is 200% out of my own pocket, well sometimes I got them as gifts from friends I admit, still friends bought them with their own money as well. So please read/decide at your own risk. I don't make any pennies from sharing, not because I have a sea of money to throw them away, I cherish money. But simply because I could at times gotten too free, so figured I want to do something for people, you can be a stranger on the streets and incase you got into anything bad and if I happen to be around I'll still help you without asking anything in return. I am like that. and you know what's funny? Good deeds never left unpunished..sometimes, I share something out of good-will, but got insulted in return of how I should become a sale personal etc. I just laugh it off, of how narrow minded some people can be.

Anyway, back to the product....

Texture :

thick, sticky & gooey

Color :

Have you tried Safe Eggs aka pasteurized eggs before? if you have tried them the color is closer to the cloudy egg white color.

Scent :

One word ...NICE

Price :

Bough this a while ago, I think is around hmm either above RM30 or RM50

Result :

For better result I would suggest you use this once every 2 weeks, that way it helps to pull out more gunk that had been built up into your pores. So you see a lot more gunk then you see nothing at all if this is used twice a week or trice a week. make sense? I tried it the 1st time, this mask helps reduce white heads , clean up pores etc. I usually apply quite a thick layer all over my face, void the area around my nose, I don't want to cover my entire face and peel it off at once, hence leave some space around the nose and then apply a very very thick layer onto my nose, so basically leave on for 20 mins or when it's dry , peel off the rest and leave longer time for the nose.....coz nose has thicker skin that needs more time before you peel it off, that is unless you want to clear up your black/white heads on your nose la of course.

However, if you merely enjoy the peeling off sensation, then just go ahead apply/cover your face with the mask....avoid eye area, and peel it off at once lo.My skin feels clean and clear after using this, I like the after effect, so smooth like baby bottom.

Who need this :

1) People with oily skin
2) people who wears makeup on constant basis...err like me.
3) people who has larger pores, it kinda help reduces
4) people who has clogged skinned/pores i.e. blackheads/whiteheads/ whatever heads.
5) people who has a lot of facial hairs. O la la...enjoyyyy....

Remember the longer you leave on the better the result as in yanking out almost everything u got on your face.......hairs included.

p/s : I don't think this is cater for sensitive skinned tho, so best not try it if your skin is somewhat sensitive.

ENJOY !!

Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds Pencil Liner

2010-06-22T10:58:00.000+08:00

Saw these in Avon May campaign for RM10 each. (if you have any friends who sells avon you might get it at a lot cheaper price me think) but since my colleague Dianna is making a side incomes from this a side of selling nasi lemak & fried bee hoon , I do not want to ask for any discount. Thus I paid a full price for them. (I have more compassion for people who are keen /struggle to make ends meet then all those spoil rich brats, coz I know how is like to be poor, trust me I know).

Anyway, yup the eyeliner I was saying ....I got it without thinking twice because.....

1) I prefer eyeliners that has decent shimmers and been looking around.
2) The price tag is another temptation that I cannot refuse saying NO
3) All 3 colors that was published in May campaign looks sparklyyyy on the model's eyes.
4) I have not tried any of Avon cosmetics before... and if the blusher counts then yea I tried them quite recently after Dianna joint our workforce.
5) Before I got pelted with rotten eggs from Ashley or anyone who is on budget in that manner I better share something that is good without having to break your bank. hey you don't have to rob banks to look good yer know.. :P:P

Color

1) Sugar Plum G111 - Dirty Plum with Pink Shimmers
2) Emerald Glow G71 - Darker Green (More of a dull deep green) with Silver Shimmers *
3) Twilight Sparkle G42 - Sapphire Blue With Blue Shimmers *My Favorite out of the 3*

Texture :

Glide on smoothly without having to pull or tug your eyelids

Payoff :

Great !!

Lasting power

I don't find any smudging nor panda eyes after 8 hrs or so..(maybe with the help of UDPP? , I don't know or just me eyes kinda hard to have color skid on me...hmmm...) Note : if you have extremely oily lids...please skip this, given it's creamy texture, this is most likely going to smudge.. :(.

Conclusion

I like all 3 of them, the only rant is that...the Emerald Glow is more of a dull side for my liking. So I kinda use this one as a base prior to eyeshadow application that was after applying the eye primer la.

p/s : When one decide to find fault in products, regardless they made perfect, cheap or decent there is always a flaw. I don't understand why people buy something yet they never get satisfy with them why?

Aqualabel Deep Clear Cleansing Oil

2010-06-15T23:14:00.003+08:00

What got me into buying/trying this ? well .. a month ago or so, I assigned a messenger to help pick up two jars of Bobbi Brown eye cream in Penang, they tossed me a few samples including a bottle of cleansing oil sample. I tried it the very same day and love it much. Regardless how much I wish I could have them instantly, but the bad news is, the only BB counter that we have is in Penang :|, which is quite a distance from where I live really.

and especially getting harder since my daughter started morning school with all the fetching, sending tuition,cooking,household chores etc. I grew tired. hence it explains why I sent a messenger.. since, crossing over to Penang seems impossible for the time being, I rather source for products within my reach. So I took a stroll to the nearest shopping mall and I came across this..

Texture : Light, smooth

Scent : Light floral, nothing offensive, kinda nice tho

Cleansing power : 5 stars no kidding, cleanses really well, makeup,waterproof mascara melt away within second and the very best part it does not sting/cloud my eyes. heeehh.

Price : RM39.90 150ml

I have tried this for almost two weeks now, it doesn't caused any breakouts nada.. luckily I did not get the BB ones that cost RM140 phewwwww....now that I found this, it'll save me a whole bunch...this is by far the best cleansing oil I've tried. it has now made it to my repurchase list. Worth every penny of it and the praise as well. Great product that comes with great price tag....what else do you want more?

SimplySiti Blush + Eyeshadow

2010-06-14T20:24:00.004+08:00

Me back from my short getaway with my skin feels like sandpaper + dry-throated (having too much fried food) I am all sore, toast and bruise =_=. Anyway, long story for another day !!

Now if you are a frequent drugstore shopper, you might have seen this product at Watson, haven't you? I've seen it a while back but did not bother to try them out until a week ago...why? well coz I usually do most of my shopping on weekdays...means less people, so less people is very good for me. I get to try out many things without feeling like someone is rushing me off...:D.

Finally got to play with the eyeshadow tester, to my surprise they were amazing...

Eyeshadow in Smokey Mountain SES14 RM29.90. This color resemble MAC previous Style Black collection in Gilt By Association. The different between these two is that, Smokey Mountain goes on smooth, with great color payoff. The texture is kinda soft (If you have tried out Nars eyeshadow you'll know what me jibbers about here) and highly pigmented. Where as MAC ones came packed with shit load of glitters, that I find it hard to work on unless foiled with Fix + to prevent fall out, but then again it'll be will too much work haiz...

Packaging ...hmmm I guess it lies in the eye of the beholder. Silvery plastic casing, may look classy or cheapo to many so it depends on what your definition is of the product. please bare in mind before you purchase anything..by going thru a check-list..

1) Do I need this?
2) Budget
3) Quality
4) Packaging

I personally prefer product that offers refill, 1st of they are a lot cheaper,2nd I get the product + quality I paid for. Since we are now living in the going-green/recycle world, it is good to practice some of those. Hence, I find this product packaging fair.

Quality - Based on the texture, payoffs, highly pigmented and price, I give this one a 4 stars.

Now the blusher...hehehe I picked up this as well because I like it's handy packaging, reminds me of Dior backstage show bla bla ..

Color - Rosy Pink

Price - RM39.90

Texture - Smooth, great payoff, well pigmented. NOT chalky.

Lovely pink iridescence hue

Mind you, I don't buy this product because of Siti, I am not much of a fan. I got it because I find these two products worth the price tag that said. Hope it helps tho...

Randomise

2010-06-07T19:34:00.005+08:00

What happen last week? well I'll let the picture do the talking....

For a starter, Friday 06/04...

This is what happen when you lit a candle without holder and left unattended during blackout...it burns down the plastic cistern.....my colleague Ms. Diana did it.....bwahahahaha....got almost everything in the office covered in soot. Imagine that.....

Next..bought another toy house the following day

And thse 2 cute little ELF.LORD as well...

Came home on Sunday, try clearing up my Junk drawers and found these samples that were sent to me a while ago, finally tried it and like it much, I should buy a bottle of this...

Today 06/07 went out and got myself this extra huge lipstick coin box, saw the exact same thing selling at some bookstores, I did not get it then coz the price tag was a little too much. So when I saw it today at some store nearby my house, I grabbed it and guess what I paid 60% off the value I saw in the bookstore.

I often get loose change lying around somewhere, and now this fit neatly on my makeup shelve. cool eh..hehe

and finally.....got a package Ashley sent me...she gave me 2 jars of Egyptian Magic Cream to try out, a jar of MAC Pigment + a tube of Green Tea Mask (pinky's & E's Favorite) according to her almost got me crying out loud narrated letter and a nos of NYX lip pencil in nutmeg of which I never bought any..hehe. Thankie darl *hugs*.

and now I got all tangled up with heaps of emotion of late, I need sometimes to sort things out, please don't ask me what happen ? because I have no idea what is happening and will not have any valid answer to your question. Point being if I am ask of what happen at this juncture I might lie you see..LOL so don't ask and stop worrying....I shall come out from the realm of "what happen to moi" real soon...

Do I need another "take it easy, or perhaps "things happen for a reason" etc I DON'T !! My front were often strong per se, people often misconstrued me as some sort of a " Super Woman" truth be told, I do have a moment of being weak and this is one of those moments. After starring hard into a mirror all I see is me, frowning in repulsion..... Reckon if this has something to do with my psyche , I'll probably stuffed myself with a mountain of cakes and fuck it.....Do I need a chill pill? bwahahahaha..... FUCK.......!!!

Longggggggggg pause after this......... I have.....

1) Booked a flight to Sunway Lagoon with Pita...

2) Try ignoring the fact that I am kinda depress due to no apparent reason....

3) Bought a cake and going to eat it...

Sunday Morning !!

2010-05-30T09:50:00.003+08:00

1st thing when I opened my eyes this morning , I got this song playing on my mind ....

"Sunday Morning, up with a lark
I think I'll take a walk in the park
Hey Hey Hey it's a beautiful day !!!
by Daniel Boone"

Pita is out in the living room watching Dr.House aired on Astro. Whilst me still lying in bed, I feel like cling on to my pillow without having to let go but knowing well that I gotta work today so...reluctantly dragging myself to the bathroom, brush my teeth, wash my face, take a shower and now going through my closet wonder what to put on for work? Argggghhhh....forget it. I'll put on my bright yellow, with company logo embossed on the left chest uniform pair with jeans. *I am soo soo lazyy* ...

1 full hour later...

Down with a coffee

Done with makeup

am now set and ready to roll....on the way pick up some peanut butter wafer yumm yumm me long time no eat those, craving for it..

See yer guys later....tata !!

Mary Kay Time Wise Age Fighting Lip Primer

2010-05-28T19:43:00.005+08:00

Since I move into my new place like a while ago, I have started making new friends and the best part there is one of Mary Kay beauty consultant living under the same roof. So one day she came over for a chat. Through out the conversation, she pop the question " do you have or use any lip primer"??? Gah.. matter of the fact I never had any of those...hmm perhaps it is about time I buy one. After paying RM105 for 1.6g she came delivered the next day yay !!

Formulation of this product were not disclosed, so I can't tell you exactly what this is made of . Sometimes a certain proprietary business has the right to withheld product ingredients after they filed for registration/confidentiality of the product ingredients yet again this does not mean it contains any harmful substance etc..

So, back to the primer, when I 1st look at it, it looks white, my head goes like ohh shit, it is white and odorless. but when I tried it on I am sold...it glides on smoothly, think frying eggs on a pan coated with Teflon yea that kind of smoothness. it forms a thin translucent film after a few second and you are ready to apply your lipstick/glosses. it helps filling in /smooth out all those tiny vertical ingrained lip lines instantaneously woohoo good eh.. I noticed my lipstick lasted longer and me kinda have *Ahem* perfect lips after using this hehehe... I have not reaches the point of having lipsticks bleed on me..yet but I guess it helps fend of feathering as well.

Do I like it....absolutely what is that not to like anyway? except the price is a little steep or else this is quite an amazing primer.

Will I repurchase : I might repurchase depends on how tolerable I am of using the same product over-time, yet that is an unknown. *you know la I have itchy eyes*.

All in all I am glad I bought it, tried it, love it.

p/s : I am very lazy taking demo pictures, so please excuse moi ya.

Happy Weekend you all. I am so excited about tomorrow and that is a secret hehehehe.....

Organic Wear Matte Finishing Veil

2010-05-27T09:00:00.000+08:00

This is one of the brand you cannot get them locally, sad to say the only way you can get your hands on them is by joining spree yet again it takes patience. But think on the brighter side all it takes is 2-3 weeks max then you'll have them. Just a note..I don't quite like buying cosmetics locally, not because I am pro-US or anything but I find cosmetics that is available at local drugstore ought to be rather lack/limited of choice. However, choices is one thing but another thing is that you don't always get the so-called quality you are paying for, so what is the point of buying something for the sake of buying when you are not really happy with them? and besides they really ain't that cheap as well don't you agree? this is where sprees comes in handy. The very least you now have an alternative to try or paying less to buy something you really enjoy and sometimes along the way, you might find the so-called HG at a fraction of high end brands.

What got me into buying this ?

1) I have been using the same tub of Lumiere Silk Powder to set my makeup for years, this 30 gram jar takes forever to finish...LOL.
2) I grew tired over-time having to use the same thing, not that this is no good, which in face this is very good just that I like trying out new stuff.
3) I look around a few high end brands but the price made me kinda speechless so..
4) Given all the above lame excuses , I ended up buying a whooping of loose powder from drugstore.com in varies brand...hehehe *please don't mock me*
5) I remember I once told Ashley, that we should live together. We both share some common interest i.e. makeup and best part we are both caffeine intoxication :P hehehe, so if I have Ashley with me, my makeup wouldn't be so wasted...sighhs

Now back to the review, I'll start with what this product is made of..

Mica, Kaolin, Silica, Squalane, Potassium Sorbate, Lauroyl Lysine, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (Safflower), Bamboo (Bambusa Arundinaceae) Powder, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sorbitan Stearate, Fragrance (Parfum), Punica Granatrum Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract (Papaya), Citronellol, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Amyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, May Contain (+/-): Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77489, 77491, 77492, 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163) (CI 77163), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510) (CI 77510), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289)

This veil is made of the above ingredient. I got it for above RM 50 (USD 13.95) at Drugstore.com it comes in a pepper shaker alike container with a skimpy brush doh then again it was this cute packaging that caught my eyes in the 1st place, so skimpy or not I don't care. The brush isn't exactly useless afterall. it can be used when you are on the go that needs a quick touch up *beggar are not chooser* so what the heck. However, it is light weight and it does what it claims to do which helps to reduce shine with decent oil control. Fact be told...if you have extremely oily skinned that require constant blotting like every 30 mins then this is not for you. On the contrary if you have extremely dry skinned this is not for you either because it'll accentuate your pores or crows feet or fine lines. So who can use it? age between teens or adults with well moisturized skinned.

Why I like it ? Well this veil provide a healthy subtle finish. The very least it doesn't sit on my face like I fell into a powder miller walking out having kilos of powder on my face that kind of finishing. I don't feel anything after lightly dusting them with a fluffy kabuki yet I noticed the different before and after setting my face so that said.

Smell good ? well the brush smell kinda odd nothing really bad as for the veil hmmm..can't find the right word to best describe the smell but nothing offensive. Just imagine powder without any scents, well wonder this making any sense...hahaha...

Anyway, I believe this is another product will most likely going to last forever, but I'll share some with Ashley and a few good friends, wait till I got the time to go out and buy some pepper shakers coz I am feeling all fatigue of late all I want is lounge around my house, not being a sleepy head tho maybe because I don't have the habits of taking a nap regardless how hard i try to sleep in the afternoon but it ain't gonna happen somehow...I just can't sleep.

So..hope this help a fair bit..teehee !! wish you all have a super duper weekend and see you all very soon.

Ciao XXOO

What Happen In The Month Of May 2010

2010-05-25T09:31:00.006+08:00

Noticing the month of May is ending soon, so I figured perhaps I'll wrap up with few lines..hehe..anyway ...

Pita's Birthday for a starter !! I ended up baking her a few cuppy cakes frosting them with pita..haha... she finally got her Black BMW X6 to call her own *errrr a remote control toy car from her papi* she has been driving that since. As for me, I gave her a baby girl to look after, so she now have someone to play with. She poops, she pees, she talks, she eats blah blah...am training Pita how to be a mother at the age of 10 :P... you know how they said best train them while they were young.. well not really the intention of this pressie .. alright I gave her a baby alive doll !!

1st of I want her to be responsible or the very least learn to be a responsible person, hence the doll.
2nd of she never had a doll thus far, that is because pita is more of a boyish type of girl, she loves playing with cars, guns,swords etc , she's under the influence of her cousins and guess what most of them who is closer to her age were all boys....mehh...

Time flies, Pita is now a tween and before I know, she is ready to flock and leave the nest, oh well sun rise and set..hehe.. I want the best for her, and I know she will have them.

Then comes Mother's day ...hmmm...another celebratory event that I don't observed albeit I know a lot of people out there were too busy taking their mom's out to dinner, and some might be smothered with gifts etc. Truth be told in my household me and pita are equal or sometimes the opposite, she is the mother and I am her kid. Many of my closest friends questioned my sanity, I told them I am never sane anyway but little that they know this works best. Pita's point of view of me to her friends or cousins is that I acted like a kid. Eversince that word uttered 3 years ago, it lights my thinking bulb how about me being her kid and let her be my mother.(take sometimes and look around you, which of today's kids did not order their parents around? which parents did not enslave themselves serving their kids like some humble servants? I'd seen worst) the worse part, a lot of them knows how to complain of their kids misbehavior but I do not see them trying to change for the betterment. Some even crying hopelessly to the point of feeling so useless. True?

So back to me being pita's dota (tho I no longer having baby smooth skin but what the heck the game is fun and in some way this is my way of getting back to her complains & whines of how unfairly her life was/is *cunning grins*) my goal is making sure she understands how hard or tough of being a mother or raising a kid. So roll the dice and let the game begin.....I can feel the fun already.

I did exactly like what she did since the moment she gets up, how hard it can be to play kids? I don't know about you, but for me is rather easy mimicking kids. *I'd been a kid and still am til to-date) So I keep whining to her, I keep complaining for almost everything and best part I called her mom. She called me by my name well well tell you what I am fine with that hehehe. This cat chasing mouse or mouse hunting cheese games ended having pita raising white flag, surrendering herself to me wholeheartedly. Now what else can so much fun then getting pita to raise her white flag bwahahahahaha.....it was soooooo satisfying I tell yer that. and now she knows I am not to be messed around with, gladly bow to me with heaps of respect.

The moral behind this, we both were winners, I won a quite well behaved kid at the end of the game and seeing what I missed (tho she still need a little fine tune here and there but I kinda let her be herself for now) as for Pita she learns to count her blessing and make the blessing counts, she now knows and understands the fact that she is lucky !!

I am one hell of a weird mother a kid and adult combined ....ahahahaha...p.s. guess what I am insane....:P

p.s. I don't believe in raising kids in punitive ways, because you can at times win beautiful scores without having to lay hands. I dislike when people beating their kids up. Just a note, your kids is part of your 9 months paint in the labor prize/reward, treat them with respect and pride !! and try to learn something from them.

So all this wraps up for the month of May, I will try to edit some pictures and a few products review will be coming right up aye...till then as always do take care and be safe .

Neutrogena Wave Deep Clean

2010-05-05T21:03:00.000+08:00

Yuuuu huuuuu !! Elo everyone how was weekend ? Good, bad, fun anything worth sharing? anyway, me back having new gizmo *grin* , well apparently this is no longer new but to me it is.

I've been meant to get this for ages, each time I held it in my hand I put it back and by default the same act repeat itself each time I see it.... reason being coz of this bloody gizmo cost RM59.90 each and the refills cost RM29.90 for 30 pre-dosed pads. If you ask me I'll say that is *ahem* bloody priceyyyyy indeed !!

Again the same thing happen last Saturday, D was driving me, I told him I need to stop by Guardian before heading to work. Again I saw this Pink gizmo waves at me...arggghh...wtf wtf why haven't they removed this product....this is such a queasy eyesore to me.....ok ok they don't "exist" ...I see no evil ...

Apparently, D must have witness my so-called strange behavior, he asks "what's wrong" I shrugged "nothing" ... I already gotten what I came here for, so let's roll.. after getting into the car he said to give him a minute and guess what ?

He handed me a small plastic bag and goes "sorry no fancy wrapping services here" bwahahaha.... opened up to my surprise, geezz how does he know ? Thanks to "heam" I now got the thing I have been dreaming day and night to have and hold.....

Anyway, I got so excited to try it out the moment I got it *dance around tho am a poor dancer but what the heck, life is short* so the gizmo...ok ok..I'll tell you..

This wave comes with 14 dose of pre-soaked cleansing pads + 1 AA battery for RM59.90. Attach the pad on the Velcro-like grippers to hold the pad in place, wet the pad with water, switch it on and you'll hear buzzing sound and here you go... make sure to DAMP not WET your face or else you will be getting soapy drips once you wave on your forehead and I tell yer hell break loose if it gets to your eyes..... it got my eyes the 1st time because I want a quick job so I have it in the shower turn out ..I was @$#^&^&**&^% while reaching for my towel with my eyes half closed..hahaha... so be warned !!..

Here is how I use :-

* Get everything ready, i.e. attach the pad wet it under running water
* Stand in front of a mirror
* Dividing your face into 4 parts
* Starts from your Chin then your cheek, side of your nose, temple & your forehead ... moving upwards with circular motion, (since all it did is vibrating so you might need to manually circulate your face a fair bit) try to stop for 1 min at each part before moving to the next and so on...
* it has uplifting menthol smell, nothing off really...just tingly !!
* wash your face after that and go on with your usual skin care routine and you're done see simple ain't it.
* toss the pad away after each use.

I find my skin to be very soft and more manageable after each use. A lot cleaner and clearer, I have less breakouts *yea I still have a few zits during the time of the month* but ever since I started using I have none, zill......amazing ain't it? I don't know how else to explain this better..hmmm...but the fact is that....it works really it works...I have added this to my repurchase list. Another good news is...it doesn't dried out your skin....taa daaa...

Well, perhaps this is something you could look into the next time you go shopping aye, until then do take care and be safe

Story Time Again....

2010-04-27T00:18:00.003+08:00

OMIGOD, time flies a week and a half before April ends and I’d just noticed I have not done a post for the month of April…fuyooo..I must have been sleeping all this time and awaken from the sleepy head spells? Nahhh…

What happen was, I hit 7 millions of Magnum’s jackpot, yea you heard right 7 millions that is a large sum of money doncha think? Bwahahahaha I wish…but then again no harm dreaming right…tho I don’t play/buy numbers. I, however did win something tho, something I never believed I will be winning…errrr truth to be told…I never won a shit in my life let alone a jackpot.*sad violin playing* but sometimes last month, during my breast screening I was told I got 7 precious rare diamonds embedded deep on both my breast ….bwahahahahahaah…. here is the summery between me and the what-sup-doc.

Breast Surgeon Office : Some private hospital in Penang
Date : March 15, 2010
Time : 11 am

Me : bla bla bla

Doc : very well then, let’s run the breast ultrasound and see what we’ll find?

Me : Ok !

20 minutes later….

Doc : Would you like to know? (with intense facial expression) btw what kind of fuck question is that?

Me : Errrr, why do you think I am here in the 1st place?

Doc : Well some people might not want to know !!

Me : Errr…well doc I am not “some” people, so pray tell.

Doc : Are you here alone?

Me : Why do you see anyone else that is sitting or standing behind or next to me?

Doc : Hmm…are you sure you can handle this? Again wtf ..

Me : Lay them on me doc, I am waiting for the test result. (the nurse suddenly resting her hands on my right shoulder)

Doc : Ok you have 7 thingy on both side of your breast ..(again his freaking intense face)

Me : Burst out and laugh…wow 7 geezz I am rich…hahahaha

Doc : Looking shock….

Me : turn to the nurse, please get your hands off me, don’t worry I won’t cry nor faint…

Me : So what are we talking here doc? What are those? lumps? Or?

Doc : Well I am just a mechanic , my job is to cut you open, I don’t know what those are, will have to wait for the pathology report in two weeks after an open biopsy being performed. Best I suggest you might want to go home discuss this matter with your family.

Me : If that’s the case, I’ll do it then…give me the date and I’ll be ready by then.

Doc : Flipping his calendar…the soonest would be on March 20, Saturday.

Me : Done !! See you this Saturday.

After I left the doc’s office, while driving home, I was thinking to myself, me finally won something….LOL…so since I did win something, it is best that I share with my grandma….*incase you dinna know, I usually share this type of things with my granny* she was in her disbelief (her facial expression is priceless, too bad I dinna have my camera with me or else…) she said to me….. have you considered other alternatives? I am like….hmmm what’s the “other” alternative la ma?

She starts sharing all those stories…meanwhile, starts quoting this fler that fler, man real time drama and suddenly I was surrounded with a sea of people, forgetting who was the role player..haha..

Anyway, long story short! I ended up seeking the so-called “alternative” that has now add an enormous amount of burden of what I already shouldered. Because this alternative treatment required me to cook my own meal, VEGGIE or greenery diet. No meat, no dairy food, no additive. RAW RAW RAWW AWW AWW (singing lady gaga bad romance). The rawer the better. Imagine that…urghh.. and that’s not it…I need to also brewing tea…OMIGOD !!.

Up until todate, I do not know what I am fighting for….hahahaha….coz I really have no idea what these 7 thingy were. Whether they are benign or malignant is an unknown. But Mr. D did something that was rather shocking. He shaved his head to make a wish. Kinda moves me tho… awwww.. I told him, well sometimes there are things best left unknown. Besides I have lived a full life, been quite fortunate per se. God have a weird kind of sense of humor and he always pick on me in a good and bad ways….hahaha…I will die with a huge grin on my face..R.I.P? absolfuckinglutely !!

So all this pretty much sums up why I was MIA again…LOL.

Just-In-case you are keen to know the alternative treatment click here.

BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream

2010-03-29T20:12:00.004+08:00

Today me ain't going to tell any story behind how I discovered and end up buying it, I am going to skip the story and jump right into a review. Fact is that I don't buy things based on reviews be it good or bad. Is not that I have a lot of money to splurge, but to make life simple whenever I see something I like I buy and most of the time it works .. if it doesn't work, albeit rarely, I'll either give them away [only if there is a taker] or toss it. I don't give bad gifts ...lol.

BB cream is now wide spread, so I am not going to explain what BB cream is, except the double B spells Blemish Balm. now based on that we all get a pretty good idea of it's functions..I apologized I cannot provide you with details as I have toss the box away. What's important is about the product not the box or what it is made of..lo and behold !!

The product comes with easy dispense squeeze tube, for a size of 40ml this certainly made your money worth. it claims to have triple action as it comes packed with SPF 20 PA++ ,whitening effect and finally anti-wrinkle [I bought it coz of this selling point as well] haha..

The texture is rather thick comparing to many others I have tried, so thick to the point of covering up almost everything you have on your face i.e. scars, discoloration, uneven skin tone etc...the best part it provides flawless dewy finish with a hint of healthy glow, unlike all those matte foundation that gives you a flat finish. This doesn't set/sink into skin or emphasize wrinkles nor scars, so certainly a great investment. Now wait a second aye, I don't get paid doing this review, BRTC does not cut me a pay check but when the product is good then it is good, I don't see the point of lying to you that you end up got your money burnt..

Nevertheless, there is a trick or a way to make this product work for you, I cannot ignore the fact that, some people have bad experience with either this brand or other BB creams' that caused breakouts. =_= . I would 1st like to walk you thru is this :

I have combination skinned, but clearly this work best for me here's how now now what I am going to say merely for your perusal or info only , you don't have to do accordingly alright? The best way to apply this specific brand of BB cream or BB cream that has thicker consistency or texture is by using both your hands. 1st thing 1st ...in-case you have sensitive skinned I would strongly suggest you get a good primer and a good primer not necessary have to break your bank. To name a few primers that served me best :-

1) Stila Hydrating Primer - this contained SPF15 as well, when I need an additional perk me up I use this primer underneath prior to BB cream application. This too is best used for attending events , it provides soft glow. I got this as a gift from Zera so I basically don't know how much this cost [citation needed].

2) Monistat Chafing Refief Powder Gel - This provide you with matte finish and it helps keep your BB cream at bay . Given that the weather in M'sia is rather warm , so I like this best :D, then of course nothing is permanent, I will need to blot my face after 6 hrs or so, yet still a good bargain. This is approx RM30 ++

3) Smashbox Artificial Light Flash Luminizing Lotion - This is for picture perfect, it provides 3D effect now this is something I will definitely put on if I am attending an event with a lot of flash-lights going on, i.e wedding, annual dinner or valentines day...so different primer for different occasion. I got a deluxe sampler at 30fl.oz and again I don't know how much a full size cost.[citation needed]

Ok back to applying this BB cream , you squeeze a pea size, warm it up in your hands by rubbing with both your hands, apply the BB cream onto your face, be sure it leaves no streaks and please do not use a sponge, using a sponge can at times take/absorb away all the goodies the cream has. Well if you prefer to use a flat foundation brush , make sure the bristle is firm enough aye. Set your face with loose powder after all it is done.

Setting powder :

Oily Skin- best goes with Silk powder - I love my Lumiere Silk Powder
Combi Skin - MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural or Silk Powder
Dry Skin - Hydrating loose powder (I don't have dry skinned so no info provided) sorry bout that.
Sensitive Skin - The product is on the way here to me and I have not used them so momentarily I don't have any good intro.

I am having no problem wearing this BB cream, but if you get breakouts, it could at times due to no primer or late nights or hormone imbalance or coffee drinker, or due to stress or constipation or many other reasons. or perhaps merely this one is NOT for you. Then again to be fair to the product, if you have tried out many that ended up causing you to breakouts, so I guess it ain't the products alone causing all those, could be due to your lifestyle try to think of a way to change your diet. Less meatty more veggies or fruits.

Anyway, so here you go Jeanjean darl .....hope it helps :D

p/s : I got it from this seller kcc , she is a very reliable seller check out her thread ya.

My Makeup Room

2010-03-29T14:08:00.006+08:00

Due to many considerable factors, I feel reluctant to share my new makeup room at 1st , I am practically the type of person who does not like to make people feel bad of what I have, but please bare in mind that, I am not rich yet I am old. I work really hard to get to where I am today. Given the privacy *yes I am a very private person* I cannot give you guys a full detour of my humble adobe or rather a tin shack I called it...

Nevertheless, I did make a promise to several of my buddies to share some of my new set up pictures when it is done, so here they are....

p/s : please advocate an open mind whilst viewing these pictures, knowing that you will definitely have a better one in due course :D !!

The string curtain helps separating between my bed & makeup area

View from the other side

Makeup table Ryan called it a magic table....haha

I keep my palettes organized

D got them for me...I love all those candies

Got them from Ikea ..priced range from above RM40 to RM70

I finally found the right home for my precious brushes

1st right drawer - Blusher Etc

Pull out tray a set of 3 from IKEA at above RM70

Various Pigment shadows

1st Left Drawer - all the prep & prime stuff

Open up to a mirror, close down to a regular table.
Given that I do not want to seal up the window, hence I cannot have a full size wall mounted mirror, so this is the best idea I have so far.

I do not own this much of product over night, I've spent a year or two collecting them, but then again I have to stop growing them from now on, I guess I finally gotten enough to last me a while...bwahahahaha..besides make up is just a passion, I am not a pro, so that said.

Anyway, I better get busy with my chores, until then take care you all..and stay safe and pretty aye !! *peace out*

Crabtree & Evelyn Aromatherapy Distillations Ritual Trio

2010-03-27T23:47:00.006+08:00

I sometimes like spending my non working days afternoon in a café, located few blocks away from my home. I like going there coz it is quiet, well… perhaps bad news for the boss but good news to me …hehehehe….I totally hate crowded places and noises. Not that I am an anti-social freak but I prefer to have a peaceful afternoon all to me and myself whilst me enjoying a cup of tea..

Sat and in walks 4 young ladies, sitting few tables away from me, but sigh, I don’t think they were there to chill out….more like….errrr yelling-out-loud. Suspect they either having difficulty of tuning down their voices or they got ear’s problemo…and SPA is all they talked about…me rooonooo…but kinda bugg the hell out of me….*groans*.

SPA is the strangest place on earth for me 1^st of I don’t have the time, 2^nd I don’t have the moola errrrrrrrr (starts counting monthly expenses) yea that’s right !! So I have not tried out any spa per se. haha…seriously I never set foot into any spa outlets before.. hey..I am a practical person *shrug* well Chris said it before, “maybe you grew up in the outskirts of town, less influence” is that the case? hmm perhaps…

I have a better way to self-indulged that have help save up a bunch yet I get to relax and feeling good. What was that all about? I am talking about a home spa. Like buying a certain products and do it at the comfort of your own home and that’s what I’d been doing all this time. This is the one product I certainly cannot live without, I would rather starve to dead then not having it…ok a little out of line …hehehehe…

I got the limited edition pack that comes with a cute mixing bowl

Ingredients

How to..

O-La-La

Body Butter

Ingredients

This is a must have n must try

Spice In The Bowl

TaaDaa !!...ready to use

It usually comes in a set of two the body butter and the spice at a price of RM198 wait wait don’t go OMG yet, imagine the money you pay for each spa session, though I never went to any but my best guess prolly around 200 – 300 then of course you get the service with massage included me think and smelling all great and relax after you walk out of the shop….

However, since me don’t have too much time in hand nor having extra moola to splurge hehehe, so the best I can get is this. So here goes :

Spice Madley

The soft damp moss texture reminded me of garden grade organic soil if you have seen any ? it has quite a pleasant scent of nutmeg, clove, lemon, etc. This is to be mixed with the body butter, but please go light hand when scooping the spice, because they do not sell this thing alone *suck*. For once a week exfoliation all you need is one tea spoon of spice with 2 tea spoon of body butter, mix them together forming a consistency as shown in the last picture. [side note ] If you prefer intense exfoliation then use a greater amount to suits your preferences.

Body Butter

It warms up to a deliciously thick and silky smooth texture, I love the fact that it makes body massage a breeze but the down side of using this alone, you need to lay a sarong or a beach towel underneath, so that it does stain your sheets, this shows how rich and moisturized this thing is. So there is a good and bad.

Directions

Pre-mixed the spice and body butter for later use, that is after your bath routine if you have any i.e. after shampooing your hair, shave your legs, wash your entire body etc. apply small amount on every inch of your body, I usually leave on for 5 minutes then massage gently in circular motion be sure to take your time, rinse and get the hell out of the bathroom ….apply moisturizer afterwards or you can use the body butter, put on a pair of socks & mitten then you are ready to hit the dream land… the end !!

Benefit

I noticed it helps to heal wounds like a little cut or scratches or mozzie bites the next day with my skin so soft and prime..teehee.

Downside

1. This product is not exactly recessionista un-friendly.

2. You will find rinse off particle scatted everywhere on your bathroom flooring but as long as your bathroom water pressure is good then, this should not be a problemo.

Give it a try :D

Home Remedy : Raw Beetroot Juice For Low Blood Pressure

2010-03-13T22:51:00.006+08:00

Typically, an optimal blood pressure reading is viewed as being between 120 and 130 mmHg systolic and 80 and 85 mmHg diastolic. A reading over 140 mmHg systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic is viewed as constituting high blood pressure. Similarly, a systolic measurement under 90 mmHg combined with a diastolic measurement under 60 mmHg is regarded as being a low blood pressure reading. My bp reading happens to be in between which is 70/100, the doctor often making fun of me during my annual medical check-up. I quote " a lot of people would wish to have your bp reading" yea yea.....

However, my recent activities i.e : moving, working non stop and with pita on the side, I found that my blood pressure have plunge significantly, the cause, perhaps due to emotional stress or tension?? I rooonooo...but when my body show me some alarming signs that spells "fainting" and "dizziness" me as always like being wishy washy gladly ignored all these signs, until I almost fainted at mac store that have caused quite a commotion, damn paiseh I tell yer..then I realized my LBP condition is getting worse...besides I have not been feeling good since..

Out of desperation to ease my fainting woes, I jump online in hope to find a cure for my LBP and guess what I found? Read here & here .

Home remedies says : drink 2 cups (level of consumption was never mentioned in the article) *snort* but I found out anyway...hehe....500ml x twice a day for 7 days or so... here's what you need :-

Bloody Beetroot I was Searching High & Low for ya..and I found cha !!

Peel & Cut Look at those...

Juicer

M about to committee murder

Bottom line you get a cup of ...Ahem....*Blood*....so I am now a vampy wannabe just minus those fangs...nahhh just kidding...lol..so here you go pure raw beetroot juice..

Left-over beetroot puree, think I can bake a cake with this...whatdoyathink?

After finished reading that article, I was skeptical to try it at 1st, but then I am done putting up with the most annoyance dizziness, that had deprived me from my daily activities, hence I made up my mind to give it a go regardless how reluctant or rather how much I hate eating beetroots.. Yuck !!

Today is my 3rd day of consuming the juice, the taste is quite ok, it has a pinch of sweetness in it almost similar to drinking a milk-shake....I am feeling a lot better now.....the very least my dizziness found subsiding, so this should be a good sign right? I am not as tired as I used to be. All in all I feel great yet I still have errrrrkk 5 more days to go = 10 cups...* Crying out loud I love beetroot juice..*.

I can never imagine myself drinking raw beetroot juice....can you? especially the dreadful smell ...errrrrkkkkkk... God have mercy on my soul..!!! but I must say, it works.....give it a try bwahahahaha....I must warn you the smell ain't good at all ..

Anyway, it's been a longggggg day for me....so me poof & zzzzz

Nites all have a great weekend ya

Review : Urban Decay Alice In Wonderland Book Of Shadows

2010-03-10T09:26:00.001+08:00

Let me start my own plot by sharing what prompted me into buying this book of shadows.....so here goes..... once a upon a time there is this old yet ghastly looking woman named Elyn !! She was happy with just eyeliner + mascara + lip balm kinda person. She never think of enhancing her appearance further buy adding eye-shadows or blusher into her daily makeup routine, She's happy just the way it was. Until one day out of boredom she starts to navigate her magic pad aka laptop and then she falls right into a cosmetic turbulent since ...regardless she often got slap on the wrist by her better half (which happens more then I like to admit). Little that he knows I have already drank the potion that literally transform into errr who again? arggghhhh forget of all this melodrama...me ain't good with an extravagantly theatrical play nor plot predominate anyway...... hehehehe...

It was Chris that tweeted me with this, as you know I was really busy with the moving and my job and pita etc etc...I have not gotten the time to fart let alone checking out what has been foraying into the this b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l market nor e-mails or updating my blog *whines*. So after taking a look at Alice I am hook, I forgot about the promises I've made to myself NOT to buy anymore cosmetics but I just could not turn my back on this, how could i refrain myself from having it? especially I never own any of UD eye-shadows? and now this is prolly the best time to have all their best sellers compilation into one palette *panting* ... the mind is set (look around making sure pita ain't sneaking up on me again) ..

Two weeks later I finally got my Alice come in quiet a cohesive packaging, just that the damn lid won't stay open arghh.. it comprises with 16 flattering colors + a miniaturized primer potion + 2 nos of 24/7 pencil-liners in (zero & flipside). The 1st color that caught my eyes was Underland (flash) highly pigmented medium purple with frosty lavender sheen.

Texture : Smooth, highly pigmented, great color pay-off. Except all those glittery ones.
Packaging : Sturdy + Open up to 3D Wonderland illustration quiet impressive really.

I like most of them, but sadly there were a few colors that comes pack with glitters, I hate using eye-shadows with glitters, is a nightmare getting fallout all over the face. All in all I like what I got !! and thank you Chris for sharing this.

P/s : if you have not own any of UD eye-shadows before, this is definitely a value buy, give it a go !!

Ponder...+ Avon Soft Mousse Blush

2010-03-08T21:49:00.004+08:00

The weather these days is driving me nuts, I don't feel like going out unless necessary *duh*. with the a/c on full blast almost all day long, I wonder how much my upcoming electricity bill is going to be ?? and for how long we have to keep putting up with such a killing weather fuyoooo...

Anyway, a dear friend of mine have shared quite an interesting piece of work with me of late, the post is about criticism, the more I read of it, the more I feel like throwing up, is inhumane, self-centered and inconsiderate OMHFG !! how could someone write this way?

My turn to criticize bwahahahaha...so here I go, take it from me....when we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person, it merely says something about our own need to be critical. Our reaction to criticism is usually to become defensive and or withdrawn. A person who feels attacked is likely to do one of two things : he/she will either retreat in fear or shame, or he/she will attack or lash out in anger or for worse case scenario they might kill themselves. How many times have you criticized someone and had them respond by saying " thank you so much for pointing out my flaws, I really appreciate it"? by far I have met a few and Ashley is one of them, believe me when i tell you this.

Almost everyone feels that their own opinions are good ones, otherwise they wouldn't be sharing them with you agree? One of the destructive things that many of us do, however, is compare someone else's opinion to our own, and when it doesn't fall in line with our belief, we either dismiss it or find fault with it. We feel smug, the other person feels diminished, and we learn nothing.....the truth is that, almost every opinion has some merit, especially if we are looking for merit, rather then looking for errors. The next time someone offers you an opinion, rather then judge or criticize it, see if you can find a grain of truth in what the person is saying or sharing. If you think about it, when you judge someone else or their opinion, it really doesn't say anything about the other person but it says quite a bit about your need to be judgmental.

To whoever you are, please do me a favor, learn to appreciate what the person is sharing, she may not be as good as others, but with gentle or non destructive comments would certainly help her to improve better over time... think about it....damn it !!

Ok I feel much better now after spewing all this off my chest......Phewwwwwww....!!

and meanwhile, I have finally gotten some spare times in hand that enable me to shop around, truth be told, I ...Ahem...have never own anything from Avon * I know you are laughing at me, I can hear you from miles...stop it will yer * but since my new colleague Diana keep smothering me with Avon catalogs, I figure no harm going thruuuu....and that no harm going thru turn out harming my wallet huhuhuhu...my new place have gotten me almost declaring bankrupt already, almost wiped out my life saving....don't play play...

So while flipping thru the catalog of course the catalog what was I saying....duhhh..the only thing that caught my itchy eyes was the soft mousse blush priced at RM29.90. *Ash got it at RM15 I think? blames Ash for not giving me a shout when she got it grrrrrrrrr* hehehe....

I placed my order thru Diana, with RM50 left in my wallet *sighhh* I decided to get just one or else I will be left with no d-o-l-l-a-r to buy din din later... that fler work fast...she came back with my blush after returning from her 1 hr lunch break ... I have a bad habit, I like smelling things, and this time with no different, me basically unscrew the cap and the smell kinda put me off a fair bit....smell acidic like some art play dough I got for pita ... debating whether to use it or not? but then since I am so broke and this piece suddenly appear to be so luxurious ...i know i know sounds unbelievable, but it is true la...

Anyway, let me list down the pros and cons aye..

Pros :

Texture : smooth and easy to blend
Pay Off : quite true to it's color, pigmented and stick on my cheeks almost all day long
Packing : In a small 6g glass jar, easy to tote around

Cons :

Smell : Kinda bad but wtf...
Unhygienic coz having to use fingers , imagine those have larger fingers...hmmm

All in all..this color is a tad too much for me, I prefer natural flush then having to walk around looking like some monkey ass, the product itself is not bad if you are on budget and looking for a decent blush this can be the one for you. My face doesn't frame well with bolder blush color because I have quiet a smaller face per se.

Sooooo.....me going to take another cold shower and hit the sack...I hope you guys are keeping well and are happy....me outty !!

Ought For A Bad Start ?

2010-02-28T23:50:00.003+08:00

To Ashley...

2009-10-23T08:55:00.002+08:00

Isn't it strange ? Everyone wants happiness, but where do we study it? we study mathematics. we learn about heamoglobin and the himalayas . But we never study happiness...

I used to ask myself. "why are some people always happy"?

I wondered are happy people smarter then the rest of us? or are happy people just too silly to realise that they should be miserable?

When I was a kid, I used to dream about the future....but when I finally got to the future, I was often disappointed, take a great de tour to learn that " Life Is harder then it looks" and then I am trying to be smart (note I am a jack of all trade but master of none, so what happen when a stupid person like me try acting smart ?) bet you can guess much less....bwahahahahaha........ anyway, I tho perhaps some ancient greek philosophers could teach me about happiness, so no harm adopting their teaching right? then came this philosopher called skeptics , they said that, you can only have real peace of mind if you don't believe anything....what do you make of that piece of work? can you believe that?

Then came Socrates and a fellow named Gorgias and he said :
nothing really exists, thus if something did exist, you wouldn't know it, thus you dont exist ! (aite hold your giggling or silly laugh, give face la...philosopher said wan know) so ...imagine you get pulled over by a traffic cop, who says : Miss arr give me one reason why I shouldn't book you for speeding and then you be sure to tell him....you don't exist ! up till this point I know you prolly lauging too hard that almost pee in your pants liao....I can hear you from miles you know.....

To be happy is ralatively simple : when bad things happen....say WTF. and if isn't serious then say iya neai-mai-la..but if it is serious then think "you don't exist."...when good things happen say OMFG... be greaful and be sure to grin ...>> Like this :D:D:D...(make sure you use colgate total)....

For instance when I see something that is calling my name.....I will stand there for a min before deciding to buy or not to buy.....if I find a need to that specific thing I will buy without a min.....but if those were merely something that fall into the "want" I will tell myself....they don't exist ....find it kinda useful and it works all the time........*lol*

Ashley what really matter most it is your everyday + personal philosophy that really counts.

Your everyday philospphy is what you believe about everyday stuff i.e. about work, money, worry, failure, friendship, family and future....is what we use to explain life's ups and downs the foundation on which we build our life upon.

its like when people say ... everything happen for a reason or disasters are opportunities or all men are bastards (sorry no offence)

on the other hand our personal philosophy is the lens through which we view everyday problem and opportunity , often it is the reason that we give ourselves to persist or quit...people that live happily are not necessarily the smartest or the richest or the most talented (hell one great living example here, lookkkkk here) but they have a personal philosophy that serves them well.....look at me.... I live in the tin shack and you live in the cardboard box (we both already agreed upon this remember?) but then again regardless what we have....we still have each other at the end of the day to hold and to have to cherish to honour and to love. (sounds like marriage, see thats the thing about me, I can never write somethng intense or else I feel like I am already in my 70s or something geeezz)....

You're already blessed with many talents my love, you do not need another lesson from me (FYI I am still learning from my kid) , so I am going to skip that. all you need is to be reminded, you have the tendency to forget things easily and I often find you do not give yourself enuogh credits, stop beating yourself up.... have a kitkat take a break......and after that move your butt....go out live your life......

p.s. : the thing bout dreams or goal is that.....you cannot exactly plan them, but one day your inner strength will guide you towards that....don't rush....take 2 steps back 1 step foward....yea do the mumbo jumbo no 5.....yeaaaaaa babyyyyy shake it << austin power smirk...

STOP WORRYING !! & HAVE A LITTLE FAITH

October, 22 ....What Is It This Time ???...

2009-10-22T22:09:00.003+08:00

Waves & grin like crazy to one and all who are reading this .. it has been sooooo long since I last updated my blog. I was taking time away to deal with my emotions that I finally made up my mind to put all this aside, meanwhile I have to deal with moving to my new place etc. Pretty much pre-occupied that have left me with little room to update *sighs* I packed a little everyday (I do have a lot to pack grrrrr was @$%^# while I packed), my house is now full with corrugated boxes, awwww how cool is that...*lol* now all i got to do is waiting for the mover to help transporting all this boxes to the new place whenever is ready (even the new place is a great mess right now)will have to carry all the cosmetics myself tho...just incase you'll never know.....hahaha

Being officially 38 today, things pretty much turn out the way I'd perceived them, I know very well how it'll turn out to be when I am 48 seriously ....like I always tell pita, your present help to decide how your future is going to be and yes you might get caught up with certain surprises/thunderstorms in between (life ain't all about smooth sailing anyway) but long as you keep moving you'll get by just alright. Your courage and determination will take you where you want to go and who/what you want to be ... please do not let anyone or anything defeat you, when you are down and out remember to take 2 steps back and 1 step ahead at a time. Everyone is blessed with great brain power I always believed that, all you gotta do is know your strength and try to overcome your weaknesses.. This is your old woman message to you when she's 38......hahaha....but no worries, I don't supposed I'll live forever, but I will be there to remind you until I cannot do so anymore.....

Anyway, I have not gotten the time to thank all my lovely friends that have sent/handed me all these lovely gifts/well wishes and I would very much like to do so now.....Let me start by saying I am sorry for not getting back on all the lovely comments you people have left me, I am really busy juggling between my emotions and daily lives. Shall I made you feel left out, I truly am so so sorry. please accept my humble apology !!

A lot of surprises ....

I did not grow up with toys let a lone a doll house, something I like to have someday but I forgot about it, until now.....someone gladly wish for me....haha....thankie darl...I am amazed !! wonder who told you about the Pink apple? I sure didn't ..

My darling pita, got me a small plushy elephant with a heart, that I now hang it on my rear mirror + a card (she is stingy alright) ... when she asked " Mom what would you like to have from me"? I said give me something you do best without using money... that literally got her into thinking for a few days hahahahaha.....but she got my drift .....the one thing she is good about beside well behave and all ...is a good grade and not to mention she made pretty good pan cakes as well.....:P...+ the mess after making pan cakes of course....oh twice the love with half a price is it? good god !! you are your daddy's girl alright, he is going to be very proud of you indeed...(I am sure you know what I mean J, doncha)

Alfie, sent me a book ...hahaha again from the same author that I admired :D thankie duh

Chris from confession of a shopaholic sent me a tube of my favorite cleanser + 2 bottles of something I have been searching hi and low about, the daiso sponge detergent + a tube of rock mascara + 2 greeting cards .....awwww thankie dearie...that's just so sweet of you *hugs*

I feel crappy receiving this from Ashley tho, I insisted there is no need for gifts, but she said to me " don't worry, it's just a chat over coffee Elyn"...grrrrr. Her presence is already the best present, but *sighs* ...she's being too sweet and nice .she gave me..a bar of strawberry soap (yum)...a tub of strawberry yogurt body cream (yum yum) ...3 pieces of beauty diary mask which I love hehe... one very nice neutral color boots eyeshadow that can be used as highlighteand and a pair of adorably cute strawberry cookies ear-rings ^^ came packed in a very lovely cake look alike can....awwww thankie hun I love them all.. *winks* ^^

Lye gave me 4 colors palette from Photo Realism artist collection + Zoom fast black lash mascara + a lipstick in Freckletone (neutral color) I am so surprise when he handed me these hahaha....thankie with Hugs and Kisses dear.

Ryan is so sweet to send me this little pressie, I must confess, I have been eying to get this for a while already, was thinking of getting them one of these day hehehehe....so thankie Ryan ^^...I feel better long ago, but given that I am currently getting quite a handful with launching of the new games + day to day responsibilities + getting ready to move, hence the MIA...sowwy bout that Jiii....will chat when I get everything settle down...may take a while tho ...

Last but not least, guess who sent me this big-o-package? ..... I can never have guessed OMG...... story goes like this, I woke up feeling good which I often do.....hahaha you know me, I am pretty much insane or rather comical in person ...Ryan would have agreed of this.......LMAO...my usual standard morning proceeding would be....jump out of bed and coffee is a MUST, I don't take coffee after brushing my teeth, yea gross I know but I rather be gross taking my coffee before brushing my teeth or else the coffee taste like shit...so what do you make of that? anyway, I cannot live without coffee in the morning , I can die I tell ya,....then I will cook some breakie for 2 me and pita...(shhhh don't tell anyone k, coz Alfie said I turn pita into a child labor *snort*....I sometimes get her to cook me breakie, I think its pretty fair deal, she is growing up, so we take turn she will cook me breakie for 3 days and I will do the same :D )

Coincidental, it was my turn to cook before the package arrived, I was frying bacons & eggs half way and there my door bell.....I was yelling out loud for pita to get the door, she announces that, Mom your signature is required.....arggghh....off i go...ok poslaju from Ryan....fine....kinda expected that already.....after signing for poslaju ...placed the package on the table.....continue my frying business... less then 3 mins.....again my door bell...geezz...can these ppl leave me alone or wot.......who the fuck again this time.....again PITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA get the door willllll yaaaa..... "mom another mail-man with blue uniform " me was.....huh???? and "he said you need to sign for your package again".... me ??????....aite fine.....my package is it? now now who sent me a package.....hmmm....??? the 1st thought that ran thru my mind was......this mail-man kinda messed up and got the wrong house.??....because I have not been ordering anything online of late....but when I asked...."from where" he looks blank.....*roll eyes* ...

but when I saw my name printed in bold.....apparently this is my package....aite fine....trying to figured out who on earth will send me a package....looking at the postage in euro....try looking for return address.....it says....NETHERLAND.....*shocking* the only person that I know by far who live there would be TJ......but that is impossible....she doesn't have my address....and clearly I have not ordered anything from Holland......hmmmm.....

Sat on the dinning table, staring at the package long enough ....pondering should I open it? but pita couldn't wait to see what's inside the package....she goes " mom, are you going to open that or wot??".... I said nope....perhaps later....she feels kinda....geezz... " doncha wanna know whats inside ? ".....errrrrr nope....why not? I said this pressie meant a lot to me, I want to open it when I am all alone, because such great gesture will surely make me crying all over...then she said....hmmm I am sure is a very sad story book.........bwahahahahahaha.........I can't keep going on and on with her or else she is going to be late for school. so after returning home from sending pita......

oh what the heck.....let me just open the pressie ....carefully undressing them....ooooo la la.... I saw a note and go on reading them with tears start rolling down my cheeks.....over and over....Ohhh godd....I am sooooooo soooooooo touch and speechless beyond words.....and and she got me something I have been dreaming day and night to have and to hold ..the benchmark miniature clogs .....OMGGGG......how could she know what I like *shocking* ?? and that's not it.....she sent me a pair of very very nice mug as well with lots of blah blah and blah.....yea I can see that coming.....I love to blahhhhhhh ....hahahahaha....and lastly 2 packs of sugarfree sweets (hid those sweets from pita, shhhh don tell her ya) ....and Happy Birthday to you too TJ <3>

*drum rolls*

Oh my oh my, I lost my home address and has been wondering on the street for a couple of weeks until I finally figured out who I am and where I live, so this very much sum up the fact of my absences. I know this excuse is kinda lame but chin chai except the fact of me being lazy la can or not…..

Ok ok I confessed I lied in the 1st paragraph hahaha so sue me… but this is going to be the whole true nothing but the truth so help me god. I accidently dropped my phone and been looking around to no avail, so ok no big deal coz I literally can very much live without a cell phone but then again I cannot get over the fact that when and where did I lose it? tried calling but given that I have a bad habit of muting my phone I cannot find it even if it rings….hahahaha….so forget about my phone I said. And today while I was driving home from work, I heard something was buzzing underneath my car seat, knowing damn well that little sucker I searched high and low has been hiding under my ass all these times…..sighs…

So anyway, no find no trouble sekali found it, die got tons of un-read text messages from Zera, Ashley, my duh (Alfie),Rob, Ah Lye, Chris, Kern and so on….alamak die liao this time, guys I don’t mean to be rude for not replying weiii please please don’t turn face arr….tolong dan ampun patik, tunku… all your well birthday wishes got me damn kam tong and thank you very the much :D…

Another confession is that, little that people know I never celebrated my birthday hahahahaha, I don’t do that because I refuse to get older…..lame !!! No la the true is I celebrate living on daily basis more then any celebratory occasions, and each day I wake up with orgasm, feeling thankful that I am still alive and making sure my day well spent, so I practically celebrate my bday all year round ady u see. A simple “ happy birthday” might sound hollow to others but to me they are as good as receiving a bottle of fine vintage wine, that’s all it takes. Simple but precious :D.

Nevertheless, it’s crucial to be happy regardless rains or shines, why know? You see arr…… I recently going thru once in a life time experience that is beyond word can described, I never saw it coming lo so that’s why it hurts so jialat-ly. And arrr that’s not it know, I lost a big patch of hair at the back of my head from all these post whatever the fuck stress you want to call it la, but I suffer severe hair loss from this incident …..sighs…. now I am looking for cure to help regain all those hair I lost but no worries, I shall soon find the cure to my hair problem I am sure of it. I am still wondering whether to share this hair loss picture not, but I better not just incase you are eating right in-front of your pc whilst reading this tock-cock post, you might vomit you see…..

Anyway, this post is about reveling my where-about, and thanking all my lovely friends for their well bday wishes. Thank you guys and with lotsa lotsa lovessss !!

Catching Up

2009-09-25T00:04:00.002+08:00

For some or whatever the reason I’d been a bad aura magnet off late, a lot has been happening ….I don’t know whether I should cry or laugh to get by . 1^st was a once in a life time extravagant and then follow by some rowdy motorcyclist kissed my a week old Toyota virgin ass. ( I was dealing with a real dick a road bully so do speak, banging my end but still wanna beat the crap out of me imagine that wtf, I lost faith in great humanity right on) and finally my wireless router died on me *sighs*.

The only good thing that I have among a whooping of bad things about me is that I have a lot of patience, it usually takes a lot to rattle my cage, but I got really I mean I am truly pissed with all these happening. Thinking of what is going to be next? But then sitting around waiting for bad things to happen, presumably it will go on for a while. I made up my mind to go somewhere and perhaps going somewhere will bring me some …hmmmm luck? After picking up my severely injured car at the workshop and after paying 2 grand for the hospitalization bills it is now as good as new LOL. Grabbing pita’s ass the next day as we both were heading to Kayell to do something fun ..yea shopping is always fun to her and this time the shopping is going to be real profane (owner has a temper remember and needs a damn good recoil therapist to get off bwahahahahahaha).

After spending 5 good hours in IKEA, I finally made it to Daiso this time and damnnnn …it was packed, I can hardly move around but the seemly RM5 deal got me all charged, I picked almost everything I saw and checking out with 100 items at the end of the day, too bad the sponge cleaner was OOS *sighs*. I manage to pick up a certain something for Ashley, the something she mistaken with other *hehe*. Just hope that she have not already gotten it.

I made an exception to put up at The Royale Bintang for a night, so that I get to do more shopping the next day before heading home. I stopped by cupcake chic the next day with pita. All those cuppy cakes seems soooooo soooooo sweet (incase you are not aware I never like sweet stuff, coz the after effect made my tongue numb and taste funky) but looking at them I cannot refrain myself from trying, die die must try at least one piece, and the SA recommended Red Velvet says to be less sweeten but wtf its still too sweet for me, wonder how is like with the regular ones? I tot of a certain someone whose going to celebrate her 25^th birthday on the coming Sat, September 26, whilst I am trying to finishhhh up this RM4.50/pc cuppycake. If only Penang has a shop I will surely be getting 18 pieces of different cuppycakes that spells HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELISA. But since I was there on the 1^st day of Raya Holiday, and having to wait 5 days before handing over to her is not something I would do. Hence I skip getting all these cute cuppycakes and got her something else instead.

One thing funny I must share here is that, most of the people that have texted during the transition period asked almost the same question, but I can’t fault any of them because sometimes people get sad or angry or hurt themselves due to certain common factors i.e. Relationship, Financial Standing, Family Issues, Health Issues or Lost someone but my… ahem… situation has nothing to do with all these. And men certainly has no play of my emotions nahh ahhh.. perhaps this isn’t about me not wanting to share but elaborating it , is pretty suicidal. I am thankful that I have a lot of good friends out there who cares and have sent heaps of loves *hugs*

Anyway, not all were bad tho AHAHAHAHAHA… the very least I lost 5 kg in a month and that is certainly a good-news to me. See I’ll be able to wear all those long forgotten and well kept xs outfits+ skinny jeans without having to act like a jumping shrimp *winks*. I shall soon be able to go out and play again, that is something I look forward to every single day !! and hopefully I will still be able to live for another fabulous 30s and pita would be hmmm….39 by then geeeezzzzz pita you are old liao by then…..HAHAHAHA…and must remember our deal ha…when it reach the time you have to feed or pat my back walking me you must bring me to the Netherlands where putting-me-to-sleep is legalized ha in exchange of my obituary will or else not a dime alright?

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls the most massive characters are seared with scars. Kahlil Gibran

September 4th marked an event of confound and even me could not find any answer to that. Massive tears shaded. My soul executed. Perhaps this is the one emotion I will never get over with it.

With these overwhelming unbearable pains, I wish that I bump my head and wake up with amnesia so that I do not have to deal with them. The idea sounded rather impossible or unrealistic of me trying to be emotional escape but then again having to relive that moment is a bitch.

I will get over anything trivial overnight, but this specific incident seem indefinite. I once told Ashley when there is a secret it is best remain as it is. So there are no stories to tell or share here, please excuse me for being selfish.

Do take care you’ll and god bless !!

Hoyu Beautylabo Leave On Hair Conditioner

2009-08-25T13:56:00.006+08:00

Has anyone of you seen this before? have you been wondering if it works? wonder no more, I can tell you that, this work wonderfully.

I got a perm back in the month of June, after perming my hair they became dry and fuzzy, the type of hair-style I opted required a certain amount of time to take care of them, but then time is what I do not have, the very least I have a rush morning hour and will only be free after sending my kid to school and I cannot leave home without bathing or washing my hair you see. I know some does..hehehe..

Having a habit of washing my hair on a frequent daily basis, my hair has slowly turning into a wild growing weeds that are coarse and dry and blah blah and blah ....been scratching my head wonder what to pick from a pile of hair products displaying on the shelf, after taking 30 minutes comparing from this to that. I made up my mind to just settle with this one, ok ok I picked this because it is pink, also because I have tried a few other brands hat dinna work as promised and finally because this is already the cheapest among the rest of other products. I got this at RM18.90/120ml.

The Chinese wording printed on the bottle is rather misleading because it says " beauty fluid"
I could not remember whether this product came with a box or not, but I supposed it did. but without a box it can be mistaken as "beauty fluid for the face", and if that happen, expect trageddyyyyyyy......

50% left after 2 months of usage

Rear side of the bottle with all the you-know-me but I-don't-know-you type of words printed

Product editorial :

Texture : Runny and non sticky at all, easy to spread. Squirts a pump or two, depends on the length of hair that you have. I have mid lengthen hair, so this required more then two pumps. apply on damped hair, leave it on and style as usual.....DO NOT rinse !!

Main Ingredient : Macadamia Nut Oil

Scents : Floral scent, kinda nice really.

Where to buy : I got mine from Guardian, supposed Watson carry it as well...

Price : RM18.90 / 120ml

This leave in conditioner have help my dry/porous hair become more soft and pliable, it gives a slight glossy look as well. I am not sure whether this can be used as thermal protector that shielding the hair from excessive heat but by the touch of what's left in my hand, I am sure this product do contain polymers. so it might work as pre-curling lotion, I don't know but if you have tried it, do share your view alright?

p.s. you will notice soft yet well moisturized hair the next time you wash your hair, take my word for it...hehehe

Sexy Girl Hair Cologne

2009-08-25T10:42:00.005+08:00

As we get older we smell less attractive holds true? nahh I never believed a second over that crap. What's most importantly is to practice good hygiene regardless your age and take good care of yourself without loading your closet with a boat-load of mothballs.

A lot of people that I know bath only once a day and in some worse case they only wash their hair once every 3-5 days. So you still think that only older people stink? I don't think sooo.....only lazy people stink...but anyway, this is something that I have been using for a while thought it would be nice to share it with all of you.

Not only we like to sprinkle on a certain brand of perfume to smell good but what we have here today is a new invention of hair cologne amazing ain't it ..hehehe... alright, the hair cologne thingy it is not something new today, I used to buy and use of a hair cologne back in those day when Chanel Coco Mademoiselle 1st intro it's hair cologne into Msia market. but given the price was kinda stiff. I have stopped buying and using anymore of hair cologne ever since.

and one day out of bordem I took a stroll at Gurdian and saw this standing side by side with all those japan made hair products i.e. Luccidol (presumably that is the right spelling) mandom etc. After checking the price tag RM38.90/90g I figured no harm getting a bottle of it ^^...but so alas there were no tester as they were all sealed in shrink-wraps, with the lack of tester, I will have to go with my basic instinct (it has 3 different colors bottle btw, Shimmery white with Sweet Scent, Shimmery light pink with Powdery Scent and lastly Shimmery Hot Pink with Sexy Scent). at 1st I tot of playing mini-maini-mo but then I better not what if I got a coying killer smell how? after taking time reading a rather limited engrish printed at the back of the can, I made up my mind to go with Powdery Scent ( commen sense tells me that, can never go wrong with powdery smell ma) after happily paying RM38.90 for it, I left the store and heading to the office straight then.....

Powery Scent in light pink bottle !!

Immediately reaching the office, my dear Kelly welcoming me with open arms and legs, then I got an evil-ish idea, I will test it on her bwahahahahaha....so incase it smells bad, it would not be me you see....unwrapping the can, then start spraying.. pssssssssssstttttttttttttttttttt all over her hair as if trying to kill those hair-mites off her hair. and to my surprise it leaves her hair smelling good and smooth. My best guess, this product must have been infused with aromatic oil of some sort.

The smell linger on and on for the rest of the day, wow I am impressed !! anyway cut the story short next thing I know, Kelly couldn't wait to get a bottle for herself, she dropped by Guardian after work the end....hahaha....

Supposed your job requiring you to be on the field whole day, supposed you like to go clubbing and hates having those ciggy smell linger on your hair, then be sure to pick up a bottle of this and oooooo it works on getting rid of the odd smell when you get a new wig as well. This will keep your hair smelling good and sexy....wooooo hooooo !!

I rated this one a good 5 stars. get it get it a must have item. tee hee

Warning : I do not recommend this for the Muslim people, because anything that is flammable usually contain alcohol and this one is no different, so be aware of it aye !!

Ecotools Bamboo & Loofah Facial Buffs

2009-08-24T19:52:00.007+08:00

I got 2 sets (each pack consist of 2 units) of these sometimes last year, there were sent to me as a "gift". I never tot of using them, and I sent a pack away to my dear friend Zera, who reside in Kayell, thinking of sharing this with her :D.

Now what got me made up my mind to finally try it out ? simply because I watched one of the youtuber reviewing Clarisonic. Wonder what that is? it is a bigger version of electric toothbrush that helps to buff away makeup impurities, helps to better clean your clogged pores etc for better product absorption. Given the product has mixed reviews and the price cost a bomb *gaps* ..the basic one with 1 speed cost USD149 (approx RM537) that is for just the basic one oooo....walau.

Lemming is one thing, but being realistic is another, now now why should I pay for something so pricey without being sure it will work? we are talking about a good RM5++ here noe.. unless using this product could help preventing aging or would make you stay younger looking for the rest of your life then yes RM5++ is suddenly too cheap ain't it, but having to pay for buffing and better clean your skin. I'll say NO to this....damn heart pain man....

After watching the live review on yourtube I am a little move, but after finding out the price I have an epifany...buffing right? something round and soft right? it helps to attain better skin condition right? ho seh liao.....i have just the thing to serve that purpose...ran to my drawer to dig it out and taaaa daaaaaa.....I found it !! The Ecotools Buffs......ahahahahahaha....heng arr save me a good RM500++ ...

2 units in a pack

Bamboo Fibers on the front and....

Terry Cloth on the other......

And they are as big as the MAC Compact Case

After Soaking and It expends

When I broke the seal, it feels rough and flat and hard to the touch, got me wonder, why so rought wan? how to use it on my face? but no worries here is how :-

1) A bowl of hot boiling water
2) Soak the facial buffs into the hot water and leave on for 30 mins.
3) 30 mins later, squeeze off the exess water and you facial loofah is ready to use.

Wash your face with your regular facial cleanser massage gently, leave your cleanser on and then use the facial buffs to move in small circular motion starts from your chin then moving up wards. Take your time and be sure to give an extra buffs on both side of your cheeks, coz theres where most of the sebums are gathered.

The good thing about this facial loofah is that, it will get softer and softerrrrrrrr overtime, but it cleans really well. I can feel my face is squeey clean and smooth after that. and yes they are reusuable. So what do you think....get this and circuling your face manually or the RM500++ for a basic clearisonic that does almost the same job? you hands got 1 speed as well wot....hahaha

Almost forgetting to include the price tim... each pack of Ecotools Bamboo Loofah cost 2USD I got them from makeupmixshop during their previous sales at hmmm a dollar and 70 cents I guess. but then again 2USD (approx RM7.20 / 2 pieces = RM3.60 each) still worth it doncha think? I am currenly having 10 packs of them, you can now imagine how much I love these loofah eh...

Side Track :

I went to meet up with Ashley for our yumcha session yesterday, it was fun but when I got to the parking lot to find my car missing *shocking* made a call to Ashley without thinking twice, she replied me " where are you, I will come and help you" ..just about to call her right back, I saw a motobiker parking attendance, I haled him by whilstling out loud, thanks god that works...I die die tot I parked my car at level 4 but it was level 3 instead (man these lots look all the same) that gave me a scared......muahahahaha..

Ashley gave me a very cute Elo Kitty Pen that comes in a tube form, really cuteeeeee and a few falsies hooooo waaaaaa imagine me beating my eyelashes ...hahaha

p.s. Thankie dearie, me love them all *hugs*
p.s.s. QB has poor reception, I got a text message came in when I was half way driving home, it was from Zera :D..will be sure to call her in a jiffy.

Skin79 Diamond Absolute Total BB Cream

2009-08-23T21:35:00.006+08:00

Kelly is a vivacious girl who is in her 21 (*young*) she loves absolutely everything, she is a lot of fun kinda person. The strange thing is that, she resembled 90% of me *shocking*, whenever I look at her I feel like I am 21 again ...hahahahaha but seriously I shit you not we both do looked alike. Often being mistaken we were siblings but we have absolutely different type of DNA and stop guessing she is not my dota or cousin etc ...haha she is perhaps a younger version of me. hell not even Pita resembles me *boo*.

Anyway, while we were out to lunch one day, while we were walking by the newspaper stand (for some unknown reasons, she loves buying magazine, Iyo this girl I tell you har, soon as she sees new magazine she lost her soul and mind di) since we only have 1 hr lunch break , was in the hurry after ordering our food we anyhow swallow and rush back to the office liao.

So now we have tons of new magazine to kill our boring office hours, what was missing was a cup of Alicafe Coffee + Twisties Lurve to glue our ass. Hurry to make coffee and taaadaaa, page turning time. sat Kelly and Me with a hot steamy coffee + chips, exchanging opinion and whatever she sees something she will be saying " I am so wanting this", my usual response " hand me the cissor" *lmao*. and suddenly *music of someone about to get kill playing on the background* she got all quiet and that got me ponder what the hell just happen to that gila fler? she looks intense O-O...... I try to look at her chest see if she is still breathing, otherwise I need to perform CPR di, but heng arr, she is still breathing ...pheww

Anyway, It was something sparkly that caught her eyes and that something is what I am going to share here today. She has been wanting to try this but keeps forgeting to ask me about it. Now that she have seen it and wanting it but given she is so damn broke how? but since I know where to get cheaper price, I said to her iyaa nier-mai la, I chin-chai loan you the money and pay me back when you get your salary lo, immediately that came off my mouth she sees her savior, jumping all over the place and back to her usual self again ........bwahahahahaha......

Anyway, after taking my time browsing around in lowyat. I found this one seller Ester Ong offered quiet a good price among other seller. All price stated in her thread inclusive postage (pos laju) and COD price is a lot cheaper, but so alas I am not staying in KL area, so i opted for postage deal.

Kelly wanting the Diamond Prestige Light Pink Pump Bottle, I got it from this seller at RM75
I got myself a bottle Of Diamond Absolute Total at RM83. Now Let see my take on this one shall we......

When I got them both, we tried to compare the different between the Diamond Prestige and this one. the ingredients etc look the same to me, except this one has higher SPF37 PA++ where the Diamond Prestige has lower in SPF25 PA++.

Texture : This one has slightly thicker texture, whereby the Diamond Prestige has more on the runny side.

Now here is the twist ... I figured when it says "absolute total" should be the best among the rest of their line of products right? but Kanasai .....Wrong wor..... heres why :-

1. Wrinkle improvement - I don't see the before and after effect, maybe I need to have severe wrinkled face to see the effect I supposed? but seriously I don't see much of the different in this manner.

2. Whitening - ah ha, that is the best part, errrrrr I think my face is white enough, so scrape this, but the good thing is that no white cast using this BB cream *how about a round of applause, lai lai clap hands everyone*

3. UV Interception SPF37PA+++ - this one mentioned erlier di, the higher the better.

4. Coverage - I bet you people can't wait to know this doncha, here is the thing, if you have great flawless skinned and ought to look for natural finish BB cream, then this one is for you as the coverage is somewhat sheer to 50% medium. But if you were like me, that has minor scaring on the face, perhaps longging for 100% Medium to 50% full coverage, please look for a better one. This is a tad too sheer to get the job done, simply put. The best part, this BB Cream doesn't look cakey or chulky. But regardless its sheerness, it is still better then tinted moisturizer la of course. So depends what you want lo...

5. Can cause break out wan not : - No wor, I used a week di, ok wor

6. Weight : 40g

7. Pakaging : very elegant wan, look at the picture, nice not you tell me? very convinient pump bottle.

Garnier Aqua Defense

2009-08-21T13:27:00.004+08:00

The term face refers as central sense organ , features which best distinguishes a person i.e. expression and sometime a specific organ such as the eyes are used in biometric identification to uniquely identify individuals, hence taking care of your face is a must because we only blessed with one face (duh).

Finding the right skin care can be such a pain in the ass sometimes, especially for people that are on budget i.e. me. My demand of a skin care is rather simple, long as they don't itch or prone to acne, meanwhile keeping my face clean and well moisturized see how simple that is.

To tell you the truth, I don't really take care of my face. I mean I double cleanse my face by 1st removing face makeup with cleansing oil and follow by a cleanser be it gel or foam and then apply moisturizer that's it. No eye-cream, night cream, beauty essence/elixir blah blah. I used to be particular then, but as I aged I couldn't careless anymore and the last time I got a facial was hmmm...6 months ago, I roooonoo but whatever.

Anyway, I have grew to liking Garnier ever since Plue sent me a sample tube of deep cleansing foam with tiny beads a while back and I love it. We were on MSN one day, I ask her is there anything else worth buying from the same brand ? since I don't want to fork out too much for a set of skin care (some works n some don't). She suggest to get their new Aqua Essence think is around RM19.90 or something I forgot how much it was, pardon me I am slipping. *shrug*. Coincidently the next day was a Saturday, my working day , so after jotting down on a to-get-list, on my way to work I stopped by Guardian Auto City thinking of just picking up a bottle of essence and get out, but I end up buying a complete set including a toner, a moisturizer, essence + the cleansing foam. I paid a total of RM65 for all 4 bottles *wow cheap* after hopping into my car (it takes another good 20 mins to reach my work place) was thinking this better be good, otherwise will give them all to Kelly bwahahahahaha....

1) Facial Cleanser - RM10.90 I think
2) Toner - hmm no sure
3) Moisturizer - errrrrr
4) Essence - RM19.90 I think

Toner 200ml with flip-top cap

Moisturizer in Lime Green 50 ml in glass jar

Essence in Aqua Green Gel 50ml

Cleanser 100ml

Details

Let me start with the cleanser, this is a tad that goes a long way kinda cleanser, all it takes is a tiny weeny bit to sud up, a decent cleaser that does the job but this is good for Normal to Dry skinned. If you were thinking of washing your face after the cleansing oil this won't cut it. this is a rather MILD cleanser, no good for combi or oily skinned. Since I have gotten it, and don't want to see it goes into waste, I use this cleanser in the morning and it works just fine. Did not cause me to break out nor peeling, hence I give this cleanser a 3 stars.

Next The Toner : Smell deliciously refreshing, a good decent toner, a toner is a toner so I am not gonna get much into it. No irritation nor causing any disconfort to my face, I love it , hence I give this a good 5 stars.

Essence : A very lightweight essence that sink into skin in a jiffy. I absolutely love love this one, it helps to hydrate skin, not oily at all. I usually apply this immediately after going over my face with the toner it helps for better absorbtion. and leave on with a subtle glowy dewy skinned. Very cooling as well....love it 5 stars. Be warned the essence have alcohol denat but it did not cause any reaction or discomfort albeit on my sensitive skinned. nada !

Moisturizer : They smell all the same. This is lightweight as well. I use this one in the morning after the cleanser + toner. According to the SA, apply this after applying the essence. But I skipped using the essence in the morning. It has good oil control and my face manage to stay matte for a good 5 hours but then again like I said, long as they didn't cause any irritation or break outs, that's all that matters. No different I give this one a 5 stars as well. hee

All in all, I am liking all of them except the cleanser is a tad too mild for me, I prefer the blue one with tiny beads in it. Anyway, part of the reason I don't share much of a skin care product due to I don't not have much to begin with and 2ndly product that works for me, might not work for you, so buy with caution at your own risk aye !!

Random Post 3 I Guess? Lost Count ...

2009-08-21T12:43:00.005+08:00

Each time I feel like updating my blog but after typing a few lines , for whatever the reason I fall right back to my couch and started watching whatever show that aired during the day *sigh*. I am a movie maniac wonder if that is a good thing ? but hey the very least confining myself at home could help save me tons of money. and since my existing laptop had made up its mind to go bonkers on me from time to time, I need to get a new laptop and I set my eye on the MAC book *blames Pita for the influence* yet again since I have set my goal into getting a new laptop by Christmas, I need to abandon the idea of keeping contact with potential temptations aka those lovelies that foraying or floats around in the market. I must look away, I know I can do it and yes I must.

As I mentioned before I am working on moving into my new home before October but get this I don’t think I am be able to move in on time all thanks to this unethical yet incapable interior designer. And the story goes like this :-

The developer intro me one old chap ID, that fler was almost 70 year old, foreseen that his design might not be what I am looking for but hey you never know you see, so I gave him a chance to show me what he got. A week later I went to see a “sketch” in his office as I have suspected his design is not my plate of food but I still thank him for his time that said. Meanwhile I ask around and a friend intro me another ID a 22 yr old that has a full time job in some quite popular designing firm but she will take up some side project as side income well given our current economy turmoil that is totally understandable and acceptable. After arranging a meeting I bring along the floor plan provided by the developer with all the measurement easy for her to work on, she came by my house that same evening. She is fairly young, looking at her I started to doubt whether she would be able to handle a complete project starts from designing to renovating but she said she can so…..

After sitting with her for 2 hours, I said to her the OC have yet to obtain and most probably will get it in the middle of August of so, this mean you have 3 months from now to work on it, understand there will be changes in between, and all these takes time you see I need to give her ample of time to work on vice versa, hence 3 months sounds fair. I demanded to get all the design ready before OC so that she will be able to carry on with the renovation (this will take another month or so you see) after the OC is obtained so that I will be able to move in as scheduled. After walking her thru and showing her a certain design of what I have in mind, it is good you tell your ID the type of design you want, and let them come up with their own to compare notes. She left 2 hours later assuming she has all the input to work on my house and now all I need to do is wait for her sketch then follow up with the 3D as she promised will be showing me in 2 weeks.

A month had passed (June 1st) no news from her, (you see I hate to rush people but I was hoping she will ring me if she is having hard time taking up my project then just empty promises) anyway, I gave her a call, I wish to find out when can I get to see the “Sketch” mark this I only demand to see a draft after a month, she said to me I will come by your house tomorrow, ok fine. She came by and guess what she asked me all over again of what had been said to her a month ago (me kinda pissy) Then I ask would 3 months be enough for you? And supposed you cannot cope with taking this project you better say it right now, the very least it gives me time to look for a new ID. She keep saying I quoted “ No worries Miss” repeatedly and I will show you the sketch next week meaning a week from now right? (June 8, I should be able to see) fine. Two weeks passed again her so-called next week being dragged to two already, it is now June 15 decided to call her again and this time, she said ooooooo Ms. Tan so so sorry I was having a 2 weeks vacation in Bangkok *shocking* (I am pretty sure, she knew she is going on hols for 2 weeks but why the next-week promise?) as usual she and her endless “next week trade mark” and finally I got to view two pieces of 3D proposal were sent to me via e-mail on July 1,(Pita’s Room + Guest Room) I am happy with the guest room design but Pita isn’t going to settle with Pink she wants Blue again I called her for changing the color to Blue + wallpaper etc. again she said next week and again two week passed for a minor changes anyway there were too much of “next week(s)” I can digest anymore, I made up my mind to confront her on August 1st, I have been waiting for a complete design whereby they should have been ready by now, when I asked her that in person she said, she was sick for 2 weeks yada yada. And again promised to send me the awhole design by early next week which means on August 10, FINE !! anyway, she failed to deliver her promise on August 10, her explanation is that “ I have too much to do in the office during this time of the year and I don’t think I can handle your project anymore”

I did ask her right from the very 1st instance I will give her 3 months to get the design ready and another 2 months for renovation and she promised me the moon and the sun with endless “next week” but now she said she can’t handle ???? make any cow sense ? wow I am amazed bwahahahahaha…… but to tell you the truth I have secretly hired another efficient designer right after July 1st he is a real deal ^^. After sensing this 22 yr old with her endless “next week” I know right away I need to find a back up just incase, because I know right from the very beginning she is not the one, but I love to see how people usually come up with their kelentong stories, that is priceless I tell yer. What saddest me is that it took 3 months for her to admit she is relatively incompetent.

Anyway, given a month had been wasted by this 22 yr old fler, the existing designer required a certain grace period so instead of moving in early October like I planned it has now dragged to mid October or end of October but yet again it is still in the month of October regardless the date and that is all that matters hahaha

Btw, how have you people been? I know Ashley was working on her Ganguro project and have shared a series of impressing FOTD, I must say she did a great job and she looks like a real sweetheart being a Ganguro girl. Perhaps I should try it but for my age, Ganguro might scare people off you see and suay suay give them a heart attack sekali I am accessory to murder how? so no Ganguro for me but yes to haggard obasan …..hahaha..

Until then do take care you’ll and be safe aye

Shinzi Katoh Canvas Tote Bag

2009-08-06T20:05:00.007+08:00

When you have a child everything changed drastically. For instance your lifestyle, habits, making a decision and sometimes we even give up on a certain thing along the way. I am the type of mother that put my child 1^st above anything I wanted for myself fact being I am the only person that she is counting on to live on for now, before she leaves the nest, well, she will someday when she is ready.

I am not afraid of dying that’s for sure, because the very day will come regardless you worry or not, nothing is guaranteed but dying is, so the sooner you prepare your child/children the better, well that’s what I do, help her understand how things work in today’s world and training her to be independent and hoping she will be making less mistakes along her growing up journey. Fact being I don’t live forever, she will have to come up with her own decision one day so be it now while I am still around to offer my point of view of the pros and cons. A life is ahead of her, I don’t want to see her landed in a panic indecisive situation when I am gone. So I guess that’s part of the reason why I never like to dictate, but on the contrary I love to hear what she has to say, listen, respect and then give my view accordingly if I must *lol*.

Sometimes, a wise decision could help save you a lot of trouble and it has to do with me sharing my view of why I prefer a canvas bag over some fancy ones. Think of it this way, imagine yourself standing in the middle of a shopping mall and look at people around you. Look at what they wear or what they carry with them. It is often not very hard spotted someone that carry exclusive bags don’t you agree? And if you can see that so can the potential robbers.

Now lets play some mind game shall we? Supposed you are the robber that ought to rob, now looking at 2 persons walking out of a store, 1 is carrying some cheap regular bag she bought from pasar malam, whereby the other one is carrying a LV. Which would be your potential target? Ok ok I don’t mean the one that carrying regular bag will not be robbed, but who’s at the higher risk of being robbed?

Since I know my duty and responsibilities (bet your ass I got tons) I cannot allow such incident to happen, because if I got robbed, next things I need to do is lodge a police report (take sometimes) I can still put up if I got robbed on regular hour but if suay suay 20 mins before school hour ends I will be doomed. There will be no one outside of me to help fetching my dota from school. Then follow by a series of troubles i.e. replacing new I.D Card, ATM card, Drivers License, etc etc. but most importantly pita will be worrying about me and worrying her is what I want the last on my list. So why would I want that?

Magnetic Cute Button

A boat load of junks

I am too lazy to unwrap coz I am going to move soon.

Anyway, I know I often tock so much cock but since this post has a co-relation to safety reason so I thought I just share some views *LMAO* ok back to the bag. Ashley asked me sometimes ago about one of the Rootote canvas bag that I carried to the makeup workshop and I made a promise will help finding out for her (was unsure whether the seller still selling any) but then whilst finding out I ended up getting 3 new canvas bag bwahahahahahaha…….

This bag is similar to the Rootote, they were made of quality durable fabric but this one comes with magnetic button. Very roomy with fun printing (perhaps looking at the design you will understand why I end up buying 3) 1stly I like how convenience I can find everything easily in one glance without rummaging. 2ndly chances of me getting rob is very minimum. 3rdly they are fun to carry around and lastly very roomy that will make shopping a breeze.

I got it from this seller click here for ready stock and click here for pre-order. I like her because she is reliable and responsible seller, so do check out her store, you might find one that suits you best :D. (trust me if you look at them, you might not end up buying just one, very hard to decide because all look so cute and fun).

I started this blog with a thought of leaving something behind so that one day when I am gone pita will have a place to hold me close in her heart. Remembering who I really am to her, meanwhile to share some of the products I discovered that is worth sharing, hence this blog was created with all those combined.

Off late due to my current health condition that has deprived me to spend time writing. I make no apology for my absence, because this blog were meant to be personal and perhaps some might swing by to read some and I hope you find some info helpful to you.

Let me start by saying here, due to some security reasons that disallowing me to discuss some private matters that I hold so dear to my heart, I do not want anything bad happen or lose someone fact being there are plenty of lunatics out there who might harm some people I care and love, so I am just being careful here.

But I am doing well so far, recuperating and I have been able to do some light chores thank god for that. Reason of prompting me writing this brief messages due to some of my friends been asking “where have I been”?, so I figured it would be better to send out I am keeping well message out to those certain friends that cares. No worries and your concern is so noted & greatly appreciated !!! :D

I do not want to write something of more then you should know, but get this I am a single mother that having a 9 yr old under my wings, hence you can imagine why my blog is deadened or why I only buy things at a bargain. I don’t consider myself as a cheapo because I do go out there and earn those money, I buy things with my genuinely earned money, so no one is a cheapo long as you earn those money legitimately.

Anyway, this entry were meant to be a K.I.S.S.( keep it short and simple), I need to excuse myself now and get some rest. Hope all of you are doing fine and keeping well out there aye, bye from now until then take care yo’ll :D

p.s. Ryan all the stuff arrived in great condition, thank you very much !
p.s.s. : Ashley I am sorry for what you’ve been thru and all the happening in the past few weeks, but be strong no tears ya and congrats on the new part time job *winks*.
p.s.s.s : whoever that has my number can call me anytime or text me if there is anything.

Cheers

Burt's Bees Beewax & Banana Hand Cream

2009-07-30T14:40:00.005+08:00

For we women, there are a few signs that often give our age away despite you may have the body and face of someone ten years younger. Some spent thousand of dollars into buying skin care or body slimming products or designer goods. All that share one ‘Goal’, is to look good and feel good or perhaps it helps to obtain some level of confidences yes?

But how often do we actually pay some decent attention to our mitts that often left off the list when it comes to pampering? Ahhhhh don’t worry or feel bad just yet, let me tell you, you are not alone…..

I do most of everything myself. Washing plates, cars, bathing my dog, cleaning toilets, bath tub, scrubbing floors, mopping, ironing, I even paint my own house. I don’t like wearing gloves when I am doing my household chores etc. so given that my hands they’re always in contact with the elements, household chemicals (I have major O.C.D) that causing dryness, chapped, flaky and even grew corns on my palms from twisting the mop, so you see I am basically a ‘mui chai’ as well. I feel ashamed to show off my hands *boohoo*.

Most of the product that I’ve tried over the years, to regain soft yet appealing hands had been such a let down as none had a lasting healing effect but momentarily relief. Hence, I end up having a whopping of variety of hand cream pilling up *sighs*. And to be fair the only product that manage to keep the rest of my body moist and supple would be Jergen Age Defying body lotion but so alas this product doesn’t contained any corns removing agent to treat stubborn harden/thicken area of my hands that caused by friction.

Just when I thought of whether I should buy another hand cream? (looking at a pile of stuff made me kinda guilty) it took me a while to do a little research online of what would be the right hand cream for my current hand condition, then I came across Burt’s Bees. Now I have a problem, clearly the product that I have set my eyes on are not available in Malaysia, at least not at the present moment. But I suddenly remember seeing Ryan’s ‘ready stock’ carry some of those bees product and the best part he got one last set left, awwwwww what a nice coincidence, so I grabbed it ..*lol*

So here is the highlight of Burt’s Bees Hand Repair Kit that I bought from Ryan at RM70/set it comes in a clear plastic string tote contains of a basic hand anatomy booklet, Lemon Butter Cuticle Crème (0.60oz/17g), Beeswax & Banana Hand Crème( 2oz/57g) , Shea Butter Hand Repair Crème (0.49oz/14g) and a pair of Cotton Gloves (very kute & cuwit).

I prefer using hand cream because it has higher viscosity that allow me plenty of time to play by rubbing them gently on each finger, before putting on my gloves and then go to bed happily. There is pointless just slap on some hand cream and go to sleep (where is the fun in it?) and since you are gonna go to bed what is the rush? Take your time aye.

Texture : Thick & Creamy (love it) my hand is cured, I can show them off without hiding them anymore YAY !!

Scent : It has funky scent, not exactly smelling like bananas tho, Pita often ask what is that smell? Not gross or overpowering but it smells more or less like errrr Plasticine *lol*. Plasticine or not I don’t care because it works to restore my hands overnight, so that matters period.

Directions of use: Smooth a small dollop of cream into freshly washed hands, massage gently (take your time) for intensive treatment you can put on gloves otherwise just go to sleep and waking up to a smoother, softer, divine hands the next morning wheeeee wheeeee !!

Anyway, remember your hands age eight times faster then the skin on your face so be sure you take good care of your hands.

p.s. I have placed my order thru Ryan again and I expect a truck load of Burt’s Bees be reaching me soon. I couldn’t wait to try them out *peace*.

Some Thoughts @ 4.AM On Sunday Morning (07/26)

2009-07-26T04:47:00.006+08:00

The very moment I walked into G-Hotel (my second time there, 1st was at the jappy restaurant Miraku celebrating Pita's Birthday) I feel like walking into another world, a world that offers a peace of mind, diffrent ambiance, just quiet. taking the elevator straight up to the 2nd floor where they held the makeup workshop. The 1st person that welcoming us was Tammy (she always look good and fresh) but then again none of any of the MAC SA ever failed to impress me with their nicely done makeup etc.

Ashley walked up to the registration counter to check in, while I on the other hand trying to give a call to my dear Chris because I do not have my ticket with me hahahaha finally he answered the phone and said " They'll let you in with or without the ticket, and I will bring the ticket up later" so that said.

Me and Ashley picked our spot, while keeping our eye wide opened hoping to see some familiar faces but we know none of any of them, just then I said to her " I think Sue of pinky star is joining this afternoon session as well" so we look around and saw her passes us by was not sure if that was her but Ashley has good eyes she said " yea I think that's sue right there" but never mind will say our hellos later. After a few pieces of pastries and a cup of tea, it is time for the real thing aka the makeup workshop to begin...

We sat on the 2nd row on the right given the front row has already being occupied, after the conductor intoduced herself and follow by attendees ..said our names etc and now the show is officially rolling....this is like you look at what I do and follow accordingly kinda thing.

My thought of this makeup workshop is that, I wish the conductor would have express herself better by not being too courteous, I mean she is good in detailing every steps but her social skills suck. I can see everyone was working on their makeups, but the tension is there, a good Make-Up Conductor should has a good sense of humor by getting the crowd to blend in and the end of the day people will go home feeling like they have been part of it , feeling a sense of worth and if you were good they even remembering your name by heart.

My perception of a good presenter whether being a MUA or a instructor or conductor is that they have to dress casually to fit the crowd, this would help create a better atmosphere without looking like he/she is a certain someone and we are a nobody. she dressed up for a cock-tail party and her presentation is somewhat dull. When you are into this line of work people are everything. People were the one that pay your salary or even help you in your career advancement. She is good with her product knowledge I give her that, she may be good with her makeup skills I give her that too, but her outfit is way off for this event.

I feel like I am attending a cock-tail party or royal function of some sort with the wrong outfit and the tension made me kinda speechless, luckily Ashley was sitting next to me and Amy (retails manager) is standing next to her to offer a personal touch, otherwise I will be getting my ass off my seat in no time so that said.

Perhaps due to the culture ? for some reason, I feel that mostly asian like to over-dressed for the wrong event, take Asian concert for example vocals loved showing off all those appears to be some breathless or smothering outfits when they were on stage, I felt suffocating looking at their outfits where most western concert i.e. Avril Lavigne, Pete Muray and etc they dress casually, so you see is the quality that sells not some fancy frils.

Anyway, I am done and over with the excitement of MAC In Mode makeup workshop held yesterday in G-Hotel Penang. The only thing that is worth is that, I get to see Ashley and meet up with Sue + a buch of my MAC buddies, the instructor (forgot what her name was) is ok in general but there are room for improvement. I did not actually learn anything but the very least, I now know what the makeup workshop is about liao.

I have a few pictures with Ashley + Sue + the Instructor, some pictures were taken with Ash's camera and some with Sue's so what I can share here is one picture of me and Ashley that was taken with my camera by JC helping, so thank you JC :D.

Look at how pretty she is with her makeup nicely done :D
(My makeup was horried due to wrong match of foundie)

P/s : Chris if you are wondering whether I see Stephen? yea he was there.

Color-Craft Haul + Gratitude

2009-07-24T10:50:00.002+08:00

The one item I picked from latest MAC color craft has finally reach moi !! yay to that !!

what happened was, when one of the SA in MAC Penang, told me they are not going to bring in this specific collection due to whatsoever reason, I don't feel a thing, because I was not eying of getting any of them. haha..

and then one day whilst me and Plue were on MSN, she pop the question "what are you going to get from this collection?" hmmm...here is the thing, when you don't plan on getting anything or don't bother to look at it, but when such question being ask, you prolly has the tendency to take a peek and suddenly you have the desire and end up getting something...

So, this is how I ended up buying *lol*

Look at what being included in the package Plue sent me...she is an absolute sweetheart I totally loving all of those especially my lip stuff lip balm, been eying and wanting to try them for ages and have yet to buy any, and now I got the chance to finally own and be able to try liao..hence a big thank you goes to Plue *hugs & kisses* ^^

due to budget constrain, I only manage to pick one out many from this collection but I certainly loved what I bought, the color combo is breathtakingly pretty, hope I'll be able to come up with some ETOD some days in due.

Alrighty ! ladies hope all of you are keeping well and have a wonderful weekend :D

p.s. I am so excited that I am going to meet up with Ashley again tomorrow, and get to attend the MAC In Mode makeup workshop together, anticipate fun-fill already , now if you will excuse me, I need to get some stuff ready and hit the sack..hehehehe.. take care yo'll until then stay pretty and smile :D

Cancer Awareness

2009-07-23T20:17:00.005+08:00

Magazine is something I will not buy despite they offer the latest update on trend & colors or sometimes some heart wrenching stories. I don't buy them because I feel that there is pointless of me forking out a certain amount into buying advertisement, so what I usually do is, I will go to my friend's hair salon pick any latest magazine and read it there.....

I came across this ad a while ago but I was not paying much attention to this specific ad then in the magazine, until I recently went to the doctor's appointment. Having to sit and wait looking like a dolt is not fun I tell yer, I picked up these 2 pamphlets out of boredom, thinking this will keep me occupied whilst waiting for my name to be called.

but my God !!..imagine a life loss to cervical cancer every 4 min in every part of the world. I start thinking what happen if I one day being diagnosed with that ??? oh no no, I need to ask the doc for details. So after my name was called, before the doc get the chance to say hello, me 1st....I want to know more of these vaccination , how much they cost etc.

Doc : Yes, you can prevent it
Me : What should I do?
Doc : Get a pap smear and wait few days for the result
Me : Can we do it today?
Doc : Ok (for best result a week before or a week after your mensuration) my timing was perfect.

I got my result a week later, and now I am scheduled for my jab to the butt next Monday. *freaking paranoid*

Anyway, there are two different types of vaccinations but I will find out more info when I get mine. as far as I know 3 shots for each vaccine and they priced

RM340 x 3 Jabs
RM260 x 3 Jabs

Total of 6 Jabs = RM600 = a precious life. Worth it? u do the math

Wait no more ladies, go to your nearest clinic to get yours today !! Supposed there is a need to borrow from Ah Lung (loan shark) by all mean DO IT !!

P.S. Will report back ASAP after finding out why to two different type of vaccinations aye.

One Fine Day !!

You know how we sometimes wake up and feeling everything will go wrong and most of other days are fine ? I have this huge patch-work (I printed out a series of Tsunami Incident's pictures i.e. dead people, some who lost their home, some still thinking of how to keep on living) I patched all those pictures, got it framed and hang it right in front of my bed , so each night before I go to sleep I will look at it. The picture made a great reminder of how fortune I really am. It is a form of deception but hey it helps me to get by whenever I had a bad day ..

Anyway, I went to the doctor again today, to pick up some medi yet again it cost me another x amount of my hard earned moolas *sighs*. If I can have one wish right now I will wish to stop the killing night coughing forever (very freaking annoying ).

I dropped by this D.I.Y shop nearby my house to pick up some super glue. Given the shop is a two stories building they sell a wide varieties of stuff, hardware, stationary, etc but never I could ever imagine a hardware shop like this actually carry something that I'd been dreaming about to get. The Magic Box it is.

After seeing Ashley posted up hers, I have since planning for another Ikea trip, and hopefully I will have some spare time to shop around meanwhile to pick up the magic box. The only good side of me is that I have a lot of patience ahahahaha...now I have started to appreciate /understand why my late grandpa always pick on me to play chess or go fishing with heam and today I am thankful of his teaching and all. kinda miss him tho..

Ashley, please don't smite me with your shoes or umbrella, I promise I will tell you where to get them supposed you are still interested of getting more of these..*lol*

The is the last set in the store, but the SA said there are plenty more in different design in their BM store, I was too lazy to drive all the way there, so I settled with this one, coz the truth is ....the box is all I want *lol*

Picked up these cute bags as well, one for my lipsticks & glosses and the other for sanitary pads,they cost RM1.30 each, kinda cute, made of water resistant material.

Went to check on my new place before heading home , I got all sweaty and when I am just about to leave to freshen myself up, Plue text me !! She is on her way to MV (Mid Valley) to get the latest MAC color craft collection. After knowing MAC Penang isn't going to bring in this collection and with plue asking if I want to "tumpang" that was after 2 mins browsing via MAC website, I settled with Mineralize Eyeshadow (Quad) in Eccentricity (plumy violet hue) coz that is the only one that stand-out among the 6 btw. So she got it for me, she said there were many OOS items but luckily the one that I want is in stock (dances around) thank you dearie *hugs* .

I have quite a fruitful day today :D ! how was your day?
