Girls’ Day Out

Filed Under shopping, friend, me, life, weekend | 5 Comments

It is a weekend where I spent the whole day by myself at home on Saturday, which I rather enjoyed. =)

On Sunday, it was even better. Even though we were “flown aeroplane” by DT, we still had a great day. (This post is dedicated to u, D.)
My friends of 16 years were there, LY , all the way from M’cca. And of course, Lina, the one with excellent sense of direction!

Anyway, as planned we had breakfast at Paramount before hitting the road to to Bukit Cahaya for a cycling session to start off the day. It was first for both of them and I met Ms Wong and the outing-gang there! What a nice coincidence~

There were running out of normal bikes and thus we took the bikes with baby seats, which is RM5 instead of normal RM3. Anyway, I got discount, free for the 2nd hour which is suppose to be RM1 (after asking for it when we returned! Sometimes all we need to do is ask, nicely.) =)

It was fun cycling around for 2 hours (10.30am - 12.30pm), seeing the animals, burning the calories when cycling uphill, enjoying the breeze down the slope, admiring the tulips in the freezing-spring-season in the 4-seasons house and taking pictures! (and them getting burnt from the sun while I was partially protected by cap and arm-clothes?) 

After that we went back to my place for showers while they viewed some pics of Parames’ engagement, choose some dramas series and movies and burning some photos for Lina.

At 2.22pm, we went to view the condo which I know the way to go but not the way back! Oooppss.. But luck has it, or maybe it’s because of Lina, we managed to find a quick way to The Curve and avoid the bad jam! 

Around 3.30pm or so we were in The Curve, starving! We randomly picked Lam Kwai Fong for lunch as Thai Express was ridiculously packed even at 4.30pm! Is it really that good? I only had once in Singapore and it was okay.

It was sort of confession and stories time where we updated each other about our lives, past and current. And even some juicy stories in the past! And of course the current age pressure, responsibilities as well as the future. And we talked about the things that we need and want. (She has no more need, that is why she is thinking of the things she wants!)

The things I like about old friends are you are able to pick up from wherever you left off. =) 

Next we spent the next 3 hours or so hunting for a porcelain book for LY, GPS-understanding-session, shoes-hunting-and-acquiring (2 pairs for me! *grin*), Daiso, beauty shops for nail polish, buying Mills & Boons boooks and ends the evening with delicious guilt-free, fat-free, cholesterol free (at least 99% of each of them) New Zealand Natural ice cream! Yum~

I was safely sent home by 8pm but poor LY had to drive all the way back to M'cca with her grandma and cousins.

It was certainly a happi day for us, except the tiring legs. =)

EveryDay Mineral~

Filed Under shopping, happy | 10 Comments

Weee…! My third order of online shopping finally arrived earlier this week to my office. It is make-up from EverydayMinerals, thanks to PinkCotton finding and sharing in her blog.

I decided to try the free trial samples (3 foundations, 1 concealer, 1 blush) as well. I couldn’t resist ordering an extra sample size concealer and finishing powder as well as Murumuru Lip Balm (for USD9)!

The total shipping cost me USD6.05 for the First Class International Package which is quite reasonable I think, but take nearly 4 weeks to reach!

The ‘Spring’ concealer works superb for my dark eyes circle, even better than the Benefit’s Lemon Aid and Shu Uemura Eye Correcting Pro Concealer Yellow.

Well, recently I have been getting eye concealer as I realised that it is almost impossible for me to get rid of my 10-year-dark-circles. What I need is a little miracle from the concealer. =P 

The mineral foundation is quite ok on my skin but some colours are too dark as the colour in the website looks a little different from the real one. Especially the blush that I chose, though it turns out to be ok and look quite natural on my cheek. 

The Murumuru Lip Balm is very cheap as it is quite a large metal container for only USD4. Not bad but smell a little weird.

Overall I am happy with the product and service. Might buy some more next time when I am running out of the concealer and to try out other product. =D
