Skin Care & Beauty Products From The Net~
Filed Under thing, me, life | 11 Comments
Here are my first purchases from Lowyat.net with AV, with the influence from Baby Fiona. After trying those products, she gave rather positive comments.
And thus, being so “woman-y”, we wanted to try them out too after reading the impressive comments from those users in the forum at Lowyat.net! Ahh… tempted!
And I here I present you the black charcoal masque that is suppose to remove those impurities and dirt and grimes and whatever not from you face! It is peel off masque which I find rather good! =D
And these are the ampoules with many different functions; whitening, purifying, clarifying and etc! At first we wanted to try a box to share between us. Just one box with 10 ampoules inside.
But as we discover more different type of ampoules, we thought of getting a box each. And looking at the price and thinking that it might goes up, we agreed that 1.5 box each is reasonable. We were so tempted to get 2 boxes each but finally decided to stick to 1.5 box first! Phew~
Hope they works well~ =D

The New Next Thing?
Filed Under thing | 12 Comments
Do you think our country is finally catching up in online shopping? I think it is! The craze is starting and spreading like wild fire!
Even with my narrow social connection, I already know 3 people personally, starting up online boutique whether to sell clothes or accessories! No kidding!
No doubt it is starting to grow like mushroom after the rain. I see more and more online boutiques around which makes me rather happy. But why?
Yes, I can browse the new clothes and fashion from the comfort of my home (avoiding the traffic and the stern look of the promoter suspecting that you'll never buy anything. And sometimes I just can't prove them wrong. =P)!
Recently, I saw another online boutique by IreneLim and the first thought that crosses my mind was, is she my childhood friend?!? But after checking out the About section, I banished all the doubt as my friend couldn't write in Chinese! Else, it would be 4 friends of mine engaging in the cyber sales~!
Anyway I really like the presentation of their clothing as it is easy to browse as well as their clean background. Nothing flashy and distracting. The clothes are rather fashionable and reasonable priced too.
I am eyeing for their cheap and cute Tee, especially the one with helicopter carrying an elephant! Super duper cute, isn't it?!
So, what do you think? Will online shopping be the next thing here?

It’s so Small!
Filed Under thing, me, life | 31 Comments
I was just in frivolous mood when I was in Digital Mall at section 14, looking for the USB fan with my friends last Thurs.
Though the malls was closing down at 9pm I still insist of checking out those laptops with no intention whatsoever to get one as my dear Dell is barely 16 months~
And the first thing that caught my eyes was Acer Aspire One at 8.9 inches!
It is so cute!!! So small! It is so my size!!!
Oh my, I was totally in love with it, the white one of course. (I found out that it came in four colors in the website, I still like the white one; though I would consider pink too).
The price is very reasonable too, around RM1.6K plus for 120GB harddisk and 1GB RAM!!! Good price right?
And yes, it is sufficient for surfing net, checking email and blogging. The only setback is the screen is too small for watching movies.
But then again, weighting at around 1.2kg (with super cute little charger too), I wouldn't have worry about mobility! I could slip it easily into my handbag, no?
Well, I seldom am in love with gadget but, this is literally a real baby, isn't it?
Hmm.. is it too much to own two laptops at a time?!?

That’s How I Got Cool~
Filed Under thing, me | 17 Comments
It all started me with inviting my friends for dinner yesterday evening (despite being 14th of the 7th month, not that I realised at first).
And one of my friends arrived in neon green t-shirt! (<– yes exactly this shade)
Ahh..what happened to you? I asked.
It is a compulsory office wear in the office every Thursday. She replied solemnly.
Why this horrible colour? I asked.
It is the Go-green campaign in the office, she replied.
And so she kept on complaining about the company printing out posters to encourage people to save electricity and water. It is a waste of paper.
They should turn down the air conditioner instead, she said.
No way, it will be too warm, I said.
In my office building, they turn off the centralised air conditioner at 5pm and we need to work till 6.30pm. It’s very stuffy and hot, I added.
Why don’t you get a fan? She asked.
Fan? We don’t have one in the office, I said.
Get an USB fan, she said.
Brilliant idea! Though I have never seen one. I thought.
And so we drove to Digital Mall at Section 14 after dinner.
And that is how I ended up with a cool USB fan that you can flexibly twist and turn~! RM9 with a year warranty!
Where else could you find such great deal? (^.^)
And now I can literally work late and OT without feeling hot and stuffy! Yay!!! (Not that I am really going to work late anyway.)

Pretty, pretty colours~
Filed Under thing, me, life | 7 Comments
Don’t you just love nail colours?
I do, I do!
I love the vibrant colours, the sweet colours or the bold colours of them!
I love the way they make your nails look pretty and neat.
And so I got myself another set of nail colours from Guardian at a fraction of price! A real steal not to be missed! (^.^)
And here are some of my old nail polish that hasn’t dried up.
And don’t you just drool looking at the delicious Som-Tam? It is papaya pok pok, a type of Thai food, I think it is a salad, from the Thai Fair near my office. It is made of payaya, vegetables and peanuts~
The spicy and sourish papaya salad is really appetizing and yummylicious! *drooling*

How Easy it is to Earn Woman’s Money~
Filed Under thing, happy, me, colleague | 16 Comments
My colleague and I were just in the mood of exploring cosmetic last week. Both of us hardly makeup to work or even to casual outing so we don’t have much ideas about makeup!
She wanted to find a nude color lipstick that makes her lip pale but it was tough to find one that really gave that natural nude shade after applying as her natural lip color was rather pinkish.
We headed off to Estee Lauder in Isetan during lunch time after a quick lunch at the food court. The promoter put on the lipstick for her with gloss and she even tried the black eye shadow for smoky eyes effect. Finally she chose a piece of nude lipstick and I was happy for her.
We thought that’s all she was getting and before we knew it, it was more than an hour after lunch time and we purchased more items that we were seeking for!
Both of us purchased the makeup set of “Good As Gold” that consists of a palette of eye shadows, lipstick, duo blusher, eyeliner, lipliner and a dinner bag (that worth RM460 but only at RM148 if we purchased above RM150, which of course we did!).
On top of that I also bought a Brush-on Illuminator that cost RM100, which suppose to cover my dark circles but somehow I felt that my Maybelline liquid foundation does a better job! >_<
Anyway, splurging really does make me happy, just at a higher cost. Though, I still think it is rather a worthy set and if the illuminator is really effective, then it should worth it as well.
And I have a long way to learn the art of makeup to make myself prettier~ ^.^

I am not a Plastic Bag
Filed Under thing, current | 10 Comments
Have you heard of it? I believe many do, even me, the so unfashionable gal who couldn’t care much about the latest fads. I just can’t be bothered much unless I really the hottest trend and it looks good on me. And most importantly it is comfortable!
Back to ‘I am not a plastic bag’. It is actually just a bag, an environmentally friendly bag that was designed by Anya Hindmarch. Guess what! It was sold out so quickly in UK, US and many places, a few hours after it was released! Such a hot item!
I remembered in July when it was being sold in KLCC at price RM55, my colleagues were so excited and went to queue up, even took annual leave as it was 10am in the morning. But too bad, the queue was too long, they didn’t get the bag!
But then again, it would be good if people do start using their own shopping bags than using normal plastic bag.
Some scary facts to be digested :
- We use on average 167 plastic bags a year, per person! Do your math..
- Only one in every 200 bags is recycled!
- Plastics can take up to 400 years to break down in a landfill!
If it could create some awareness for our environment, the bag would be a good cause, a good start. Another way is to reduce the plastic bags that were offered when we are purchasing stuffs at supermarket or shops. Put it in your own bag or use an existing plastic bag that you own. Reduce plastic spoons/fork if possible. Recycled.
After all, it is our mother earth, one and only one. =)

mini Sewing Machine~
Filed Under thing | Leave a Comment
Walking back to office from lunch at Wisma Central on Saturday, I passed by a small illegal stall of a malay man selling mini sewing machine! MJ told me she bought one small mini sewing machine the other day at Masjid Jamek and I wish I could have one too. And I’ve seen this man selling it last week but due to many passersby during lunch time on weekday, I didn’t really get a chance to buy it. I don’t know why I want it but I always like to have mini stuffs, whether it was mini bottles of shampoo, perfumes, lotion, lipgloss or even food, I always like to have them, useful or not to me is totally another matter. *grin* And so I can’t resist this either! It is a very easy to use but I don’t know how useful yet. Maybe for once I can try to alter my own pants rather than bring back my pants to hometown for my expert mum to do it~ =D
