Qualities Men Should Have

2012-09-07T14:34:00.000+08:00

OMAIII.....H E L L O!!!

Yeap, its been a while since i've been blogging. Idk if its an excuse, but I was flooded with tons and tons of assignments. But since im on my sem break now, I thought i'd update my blog a little.

As of lately, I saw this controversial video which was soon removed. Has it garnered much attention (not necessarily all good ones) so much so that the video has to be taken down?
Let me just update you guys a little bit on what the video was about. It was Radio DJ, Linora, ranting on the "Qualities Men Should Have".
Confirm the negative response would be from the Men lahh..Confirm :P

Do you guys think Chivalry is Dead? Well, it Should NOT be! /scrunchnose

"Chivalry should exist all the time"

Its been always a HUGE 'plus' for me if the guy is a real gentleman.

I once dated this one gentleman which I think, no one would top him as better gentleman. Yeap. My Mr.Gentleman right there and any girl would be lucky to have him. He would never fail to open the car door for me or any door for that matter. The cutest thing is that, he would actually get a little angry when I tried opening the door myself.
Since he could open the door for me, he would also ask which seat I would like and pull out the chair for me. Where we seat does matter for some ladies. (Lighting & Background for photo-taking purposes)

Also, beforehand, he would make reservations, irregardless of whether the place would be normally packed with customers or not.

Adding a little more, If we're were going back to his place to catch a movie. He would already have the DVD in the player and in a Play-ready mood. So you'll cut all those bs searching for the DVD hi and low that you guys were going to watch and also if it was a cheap fake RM8 DVD, with this step, you guys will skip the awkward 1 minute "Why should we buy the Gold disc (original) and not the Purple disc (DVD-R)". Guys, you dont want her to think you're so cheap to buy fake DVDs to watch with her, right? ;)

Chivalry is very rare now but I really hope, not all hope in Men are lost...
Women likes to feel special and actually worth Men's time.

Here is part where appearance is concerned;

"Guys, grooming aint just styling your hair"
AGREE?

What Linora said is actually so true. Tons of guys just thinks its all about their precious hair which they usually spent more than 15mins on (some dont even give a sh*t and will be done in 1 min or so).

What I think is one of the most important thing (other than the Spider hair sticking outtve the nostril & DVD seller long nails) are that guys have actual care of their facial complexion and also their set of teeth!
So if you know you're a smoker and because of that you have yellow-stained teeth, go to the dentist to get them whitened and get some good toothpaste or have a good habit of brushing teeth to up keep that set of teeth.
How would guys like a pretty lady but when she smiles...BOOM! her teeth are yellow! *oh the horror* (cause i actually know someone like that)

Men clearly knows why women wear high heels, makeup and put on pretty dresses...We want to look good for men! So we'd appreciate it if Men actually too the initiative to groom themselves for us, ladies too :)

And Finally! 'Patience is a Virtue'.

I dont just think Patience is only qualities men should have, its also women should have. Cause i think some guys are more patience than women.
To be honest, sometimes I get a little impatient and the waiting can piss me off. Needless to say, Patience is a quality both sexes should cultivate and also give and take :)

This last photo here is definitely 9GAG worthy! Hahahahha

Seriously, Boys and their computer games....

Ladies, if your boyfriends ever ask you to buy them a Razor/Alienware product. Ask yourselves "Do I actually want to buy something that will help steal my boyfriend away". As if the computer game itself isnt enough..

Before I end this post, I just wanna say, im no expert or anything. Its up to you to pick up the good things you wanna take back and use it in your life.

The comment box below is openly free for your comments. Fire away if you have anything :)

Soon I hope i'll be able to blog about my current journey in life. Just a little personal update; I've been dating someone for quite abit and its been getting kindda serious. /blush

Video Games Live 2012 in Malaysia

2012-06-04T03:11:00.000+08:00

What an experience I had with my brother at the Video Games Live 2012 (VGL) which took place at Istana Budaya. Usually orchestras arent my usually my scene but I just couldn't say no to a new experience when I was surprised by Don with a pair of tics to this music event.

Went all excited when i saw the VGL promo video line ups. There was Final Fantasy in it! I am a FF fan, not so much of the game though but more of a FF Music fan! Bro got all excited when he heard Warcraft in the line up.

Well, VGL Live is a Orchestra-Rock Concert with a spectacular display of visuals, lights, lazers from the most popular video games of all time. Our Malaysia National Symphonic Orchestra was conducted by award winning music director & conductor- Emmanuel Fratianni.

Bro as my date for the night.

Cosplay participants.
The Final Fantasy costume stole the Grand Prize for the lady in blue hair.

Hosted by popular VGL creater- Tommy Tallarico. This guy could make the whole crowd at Istana Budaya have a good laugh. I like his casualty.

The last time VGL was held in Malaysia was back in 2010, Tommy heard the high demands from the gamers in Malaysia and decided to come back to satisfy our Malaysian gamers.

a Tony Stark (Iron Man) wannabe in the crowd.

There were a few video games played on stage and the participants were chosen at random.

Norihiko Hibino who has a well-known video game composer has one of his company branch in Malaysia too because he Loves our Malaysian food. Woot woot!

Laura Intravia in Legend of Zelda costume.

Laura Intravia is such a talented individual. Her voice is so powerful its just mind blowing!! It was such an honor to hear her sing.

Laura Intravia in Mario costume.

Guitar Hero in Expert mode rocking out one of Foo Fighter's songs.

Tommy Tallarico can host AND play his electric guitar so well.

Check out some of the videos I took;
*hint* wait for Laura Intravia's amazing vocals.

[more videos to be uploaded]

The whole concert last about 3 hours. And during the intermission, i bump into ol' highschool mate and ex-neighbour, Reynard!!
It was so nice seeing him. Well, he's quite a gamer geek so i wasnt all surprise to see him there.

Bump into Joey, a highschool junior that came with Reynard and also coincidentally was at Taylor's OIC Camp 2012 (a day before VGL) where I was the student ambassador and had to guide her group.

Though VGL did not play any of my favourite Final Fantasy ~~emo~~ songs or even the song from Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic Trailer. Y U NO play emo songs? :(

Oh well, it did brought me back to my childhood when they had a couple of familiar video games music played. It made me miss Pokemon....

In my heart, i also wished for them to play a song from Harvest Moon (Back to Nature) but i guess that isnt old to be recognized :(
It was pretty hot during my era though. ANY Harvest Moon fans here?!

After a wonderful experience at VGL, i have learned to appreciate orchestra a little bit more. This has also helped me to grow in my Media Appreciation subject.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Exclusive Media Launch

2012-05-31T00:36:00.000+08:00

Its finally here!
All the anticipation to get your hands on this sexy andriod phone is almost over.
Samsung has finally released its 3rd generation Galaxy S series.

Though im #TeamiPhone, i was curious but also excited to see what all the rave was about on the latest Galaxy S3. So, I gladly accepted the exclusive invitation to attend the media launch @ One World Hotel.
with them pretty ladies, [from left] Samantha, Valerie, Me, Michelle.

Symphonic tunes were played in the background by the orchestra throughout the event.

Lovely host for the night.

Managing Director of Samsung Malaysia gave an intro on what the new SIII is about.
Loves the huge screen behind, better than the cinema one :P
Why "Inspired by Nature"? Because the latest SIII has features adapted from the nature.

One thing i like is when you slide to unlock your phone, it will imitate the water motion as if you're touching the surface of a pond. Its amazing. Something very fresh indeed.

Not only that, the sound of tapping the touch screen is the soothing sound of water drips.

This time round, the SIII has built in more tunes and sounds that are soothing and relaxing for your pleasure of listening.

Then the Product Marketing Managers of Samsung Malaysia performed some demonstrations on the stage for us all. He was more lifely and fun, he also managed to get a couple of laughs from us. I could understand why he was the PMM of Samsung.

Featuring Burst Shot, you are able to instantly capture up to 20 Shots continuously. After that, there comes this feature in handy called Best Shot, which the smart SIII will have a little 'tick' to let you know which was the best shot taken in the 20 shots.

With this feature, you will not miss another moment in motion ;)

Highlights of the new SIII

It iz so slim!

This comes my favourite part of the Front Camera! It's 1.9 Megapixel Front Camera! And zero shutter lag! *drools*

Though a downgrade of 0.1 MP comparing to the previous SII/ S2. This SIII's Front camera is able to video in HD!

Okay lah, this one seems super attractive ~~for self portrait camwhores like me~~ (as iphone4s only 0.2 megapixel *cries*) to those who frequently uses the front camera to ~~camwhore~~ skype etc.
I think if i had an SIII, most of the time, i would be instagraming self portraits away... This made me feel my iphone4s actually sucked :(

Here comes a feature you all will like to have in your smartphones, Capture photos WHILE Recording a video! Yeap, you dont have to struggle to switch the mode back and front between camera & video anymore! Most importantly, you wouldnt have to miss a moment again ;)

Even my Canon G12 cant do that :(

Oppps, ter-on my camera flash, but i like this photo of Rebecca & Me.

To compete with Apple' iPhone, Samsung also have their own 'Siri' which is S Voice to command the phone with your voice.

Pop Up Play, whats that you ask?

This feature allows you to multi-task, you can be surfing the net in the background (etc) and also have a small screen of your video playing. Thus, you dont need to stop and start your video again when you are tweeting, facebooking etc.

Looking to transfer files in a breeze? S Beam will do you work for you, Its similar to Apple's App called Bump. All you have to do is to brush the back of your Galaxy SIII with your friend's SIII and after entering a simple common password, you files will be transferred at ease.

I love how Samsung is suggesting the public to 'Go Green' in some way with their new SIII inspired by the nature.

Suggestion; Samsung should come out with Eco-Friendly covers for the SIII as a special edition or something that is Eco-Friendly to support the whole tagline too. Heheh.

Lastly, the new Samsung Galaxy SIII have so many new features, wont it eat up the battery real fast? Well, Samsung has also expended the battery's capacity of 20% at 2,100 mAh in comparison to the S2.

It has been recently revealed that the PRICE for the Samsung Galaxy SIII would be retailing for RM2,199.

All dressed up in theme for Samsung ;)

with Michelle and her gorgeous blue dip dye! I loveeeeee!

In conclusion, i may still be on #teamiphone but after this launch, i definitely see that Samsung isnt too bad after all, is a great andriod phone to own and explore.

LeMermaid Turquoise Dip Dye

2012-04-01T03:34:00.000+08:00

*waves hair* Aloha~

Im back with an update on my hair, once again ;)
Im loving it! What do you guys think?

Le Journey Starts......

[25 March 11.30PM]

4 Weeks back (end feb) I had the sudden urge to dip dye my hair. I did not want to change my mind, so that weekend itself i hurried and got everything ready so i could start Project Turquoise .

It was about time i go for my annual haircut. Thats when Project Turquoise popped up. I thought it would be a fun twist for my boring hair style.

Initial plan, keeping my Turquoise hair for about 2 Weeks then chop off my hair (ofcourse including the turquoise dip dye)...

Heres my long hair. Front & Back view.

Its about 16 Months since i last had my hair cut. Its all the way down to my butt crack- the sign that i should get my hair chopped off already.

A photo from my blogpost- "When I Had A Tail"on my last haircut.
Thats how much my hair gew in 16 months! My hair grows veryyy Fast!

FAQ: How long have you been keeping your hair?
A: 16 Months.
*that shocking expression on people's face*
i suppose they'd think i'd say like 3 years or something. Hahah!

Okay! Back to the topic....

Firstly, you'll need ~~an awesome hair colour or~~ your desired hair colour .

Products Used;

Directions by La Richie(UK) - Turquoise
Bleaching Powder - Vol.20
Development
Gloves
Container & Brush.

I only bought a 30g packet of Bleaching Powder (from Sungei Wang) cause Im only dying the ends of my hair. It was enough to last me 2 rounds of Bleaching that night. iKiasu and dint used up all of it for the first round- thinking i could save it for the next use in the future.

Before people start to flood me with questions on where I got my Turquoise dye from, i got it from a friend which bought it from eBay (as its only available in the UK).
I have never bought anything from eBay before so I cant help you with that.

my kiasuness of using half of the bleaching powder.
The Ratio of your Bleaching Powder & Developer should be 1:1

You can start applying immediately after mixing the mix well.
After approx 30-45mins. It was time to wash it off.
From what i heard- 45minutes TOPS!

(though i think thats specifically for people who are bleaching up to their roots and its to avoid having irritated-red scalp)

Bleaching Round 1

The bleach wasnt strong enough, I knew i should've take heat on the bleaching Vol. The sales person put it on the counter and i happily paid for it without thinking of the Vol.

There are Vol.20 (common use), Vol.30, & Vol.40(strongest)

I should've at least opt for Vol.30 cause my hair is at least 50 virgin. People that have dyed hair or ~~has 100% whore hair~~ would prolly be fine with the Vol.20.

You should be thinking, why not just choose Vol.40- done deal, Hair as white as snow? Well, i was recommended that i should best stick to lower Vol. cause Vol.40 might be pretty tough on my hair and MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS .
True that, i dont want my hair to be burning and breaking off during a DIY Bleaching. (sorry, if that scared you)

Bleaching Round 2

Thanks to my Kiasuness which saved my bleach powder for another round of bleaching.

This time i waited for it to sit for 45minutes.
I took a look at it and it was a little foamy. Scared me a little, i quickly washed it off. In my mind was thinking of all the worst case scenarios- Hair breaking off, Hair dissolving- what? ...

It turned out to be very blonde indeed. I thought it was the colour i was suppose to target. Well, it wasnt, when i found out later on.

And Oh, Do Not Condition after Bleaching if you're dyeing your hair Next.

Danbo says Hi :)

Le end product of Project Turquoise, It was a little hard trying to capture the right colour on the camera but i tried. It looks better IRL (in real life) though ;)

6 Inches of Turquoise dip dye.

I only washed off the hair dye (after 30-45mins?) with water, i did not wash with shampoo or did any conditioning though. Which led me to think back, I prolly should've at least conditioned my hair before excitedly blowing dry my hair to see the Results!

Tip; i heard that rinsing your hair with Vinegar water would help the colour to stay on longer.
Shall try the next time too.

1 Week Later

This is what my hair actually looks like when seen with the nekkid eye. Its colour is showing up on camera because its outdoor and the flash isnt so focused.

I only wash my hair about 3-4 times a week. Plus, after dyeing with these kind of exotic colours, you might want to lessen your shampoo-ing days unless your scalp is the oily type. The more frequent you wash it, the faster your colour will fade even if you use a colour protecting shampoo.

Gentle Reminder: If you're willing to dye your hair esp needing to bleach beforehand, do take note that your hair will NEED Treatment/Deep Conditioning to gain back its protein lost in the bleaching process.

See, hard to capture my hair colour indoor esp when my hair is way past my boobs.

It looks even better after a week later, doesnt it? :)
Its that Beautiful Mermaid Turquoise <3

My hair dint feel as dry as i'd imagine the bleaching would cost, but still i would apply hair oils on my dip dye just to keep it moisturized (and shiny?)

4 Weeks Later

The colour continue to fade to a more greenish tone. It was Sea Green/ Forest Green.

People would be saying my hair is Green instead of Blue- i started to accept the fact.

People, Y U NO get what is Turquoise! Green+Blue = Turquoise!

Well, Whatever shade or tone it has faded into, i've always liked the colour even though it dint turn out/looked the way i wanted it.

My poor hair- outtve shape, wispey, and in a mess..It was a perfect time to get it treatment and trimmed.
Went to Dara Asia @ 1Shamelin Mall for their Loreal Hair Treatment.

Oppp, the night before my visit to the salon, i decided to re-dye my Sea Green dip dye with Turquoise as recommended from a trusted friend. Anyways, i dont have anything to lose do I? Want to see how it'll look like and how long it'll last too.

A photo trying to fit my face and my long hair all into the same frame- Wasnt easy.

Blah blah blah, spent 2 hours there- Almost fell asleep several times.

And i couldn't play poker or draw something the entire time because the heat from the machine was transferring to my phone instead of my hair. -___-

[if you notice the gradient in colour, it was Sis's fault for not helping me to dye thoroughly like the first time. At least it still looks cool, cause im pretty lazy to do another round of touching up]

Got my hair ends trimmed a wee bit- prolly an inche or less.
Ofcourse her hair cutting skills arent as good as Shawn Cutler's Jackham- I should be going back to Jackham in about 2weeks time.

Directions- Turquoise too.

This is the beautiful Turquoise i wished my hair was. Oh well, ill just have to wait till next round to try it.

After goggling, you'll find that quite a number of people using the SAME product will have different (colour) outcome. Some people, their hair colour would fade to an ugly greyish colour. Which I initially thought how Every exotic hair colour dyes would eventually become. How wrong was I after trying it myself :)

Funny how my Dad realized my Turquoise hair AFTER TWO WEEKS. 14DAYS! Hahah.. Thought he would have the most negative reaction to my hair but instead he kind of liked it. Later on, he also suggested to have my dip dye covered in layers of other colours like Pink & [insert bright colours] !

I just might explore more exotic colours since Dad wasnt in his sarcastic tone. On the other hand, its odd how my (cool&sporting) mum dint like the idea of me getting my hair dyed with funky monkey colours. Oh well, whatever it is, my parents know they cant stop me from doing what i've set my mind to do ;)

I hope this (journey / how to dip dye) blogpost (sort of) made up for the ~~laziness in blogging~~ busyness i've been in for the past few months that was supposedly to be my 'holiday'. How time flies.
Seriously, i was pretty busy too. Not busy rotting at home, but freelancing working here and there to get extra money for shopping expenses. Still, I had no excuse for not updating when i somehow found the time to be watching my tvshows.

Forgive me.

Evanescence LIVE in Malaysia

2012-02-26T22:12:00.000+08:00

     It was one evening after work when i saw a tweet that Evanescence will be coming to KL. I almost teared hearing the great news! Its been on my concert dream list and i thought they would never come as they had kindda vanished in the past years...I have always admired Amy Lee's amazingly powerful vocals!

     I knew I needed to go no matter what! Maybe this urge was the main reason why i dint score tics for this concert as i was kindda expecting to get it and i cant "expect" for anything because if i do, it wont happen. 'Its a thing'.
     Anyhow, i bought myself last minute (kindda cheap) Free Standing as i wasnt willing to pay the cheapest at RM180 for Rock Zone (imagine what i could do with that money). Being my dad, he dint allow my bro to tag along with me so i had to quickly find last minute to accompany me. @#$%^&* But it was great that Jason could accompany me on such a short notice.

It wasnt easy getting this shot of "Evanescence" at the back ground. It blinks according to the beat ;)

     Watching Evanescence singing LIVE almost put me in tears at KL Live. Speechless i stood watching her sing her lungs out. Been an Evanescence fan ever since before i became a teenager. I'd remember i'd used to rape the replay button on one particular song so much cause it was my favourite and it still is, It is My Immortal :)

     The feeling of watching Amy LIVE was when i was seeing one of my favourite singer, Leona Lewis. Both have amazing vocals!! Somehow, because of Evanescence's goth rock genre, alot people dont seem to appreciate it =/
Dont get me wrong, i like Evanescence, but not hardcore metal music kayy.

She flips her hair back and forth, back and forth, back and forth like no one's business ;)

This dude was so hardcore in rocking his head and his dreadlocks, i was afraid his brain would fall out. whaaat

And then when she stepped up to the keyboard, it was even more magical.

This was my spot for the night as i only entered the place late at 8PM. Waiting for my friend ma :)
It wasnt far back from the Rock Zone so i was glad. And the guy in front of me was pretty nice. He was very aware and would look back every now and then to check if he was blocking my view of Amy :)

I was also surprised that the Rock Zone was sooo full! Even more crowded compared to Simple Plan's concert a few weeks back. Was happy with my little spot that has the full view of the stage, if i was a taller it would've been perfect!

She rocked the stage like no one did! She loves this crowd too and said that we've raised the bar for other fans. Truly amazing when you could see her passion when she sang. Unfortunately, the concert was really short. Bummed that Evanescence's essence only lasted for an hour! :(
I think if i were to have paid, RM298(original) for the Rock Zone, i'll be super upset. Oh, 70% of the crowd were Dudes!

Apologies for the pretty grainy photos as my camera isnt a zoom camera and i wasnt up close in the Rock Zone to get a clear and nice shot. But i did try my best to get a couple of decent shots :)

And heres the setlist for the night..I still dont really see a point in having the setlist though..

I have about 11 videos recorded from the concert. Since its so much, ill post only a few of my favourites here. Feel free to check out iBabyRielz @Youtube for all the videos!

Thanks Jason a bunch for also videoing most of the videos. Usually at concerts, i would be hanging in to hold up the camera, his time it was Jason turn to see what i have to go thru every concert in order to record the performances so it isnt just only in my memory :)

Earlier that day, i was just stressing the entire time. I wasnt even that stoked about seeing Evanescence in just a few hours but then it changed when she came rocking from the backstage.
Amy Lee played all my favourite songs!! So i guess that made up for the short concert.
Hope to see Evanescence back in KL in the future after she makes more of her amazing music! <3

Kissed by Kiss Me Cosmetics

2012-02-06T12:30:00.000+08:00

The latest products that i've been giving so much love to, is my new Kiss Me Cosmetic collection! Kiss Me is well-known for their amazing eyeliners and mascara. If you're a daily eyeliner or mascara user, Kiss Me is definitely for you to check out.

Kiss Me sounds so alluring and seductive, its the perfect name for the brand. Now, which girl wouldn't want to be alluring to ~~any~~ hot guys? ;)

私にキスする
(Watashi ni kisu suru)

What does that mean?
It means, Kiss Me in japanese.

Now you've learned a new japanese word that you can use on cute japanese boys.

If youre wondering why is a kawaii anime/manga used as the face of Kiss Me?
Because they always looks so perfect and flawless in all the anime! Hence, by using Kiss Me, we would be able to achieve the same flawless look that we girls have been enviously dreaming of.

Concept of Kiss Me;
Theme of ‘Women who want to be Beautiful’, and the concept of ‘Always Beautiful’, ‘Heroine Make’ was created.

The origins of the “Heroine Make” collection name
As you know, “heroine” refers to a woman who is a protagonist/main-character in a movie, TV, etc. She is supposed to remain beautiful at all times in the story even if she weeps or gets caught in the rain. As this a makeup series for women who aim to become such a heroine, they named it “Heroine Make.”

Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Series
Heavy Rotation (abbr.: Hevirote)
This phrase, abbreviated “Hevirote” in fashion magazines, means to use the same item frequently. It has further taken on the meaning “favorite,” “easy-to-use,” and “convenient” and is used this way: “This is a hevirote item.”

Utterly grateful that i had the privilege to try some of Kiss Me products and do a review on them for my dear readers. As you know im a frequent makeup user and have the passion for makeup art which involves alot of experimenting with colours.

However, Kiss Me does not have a range of eye shadows as they are going towards more au- naturale look . Then i remember that animes not have eye shadows on. *giggles*

Kiss Me's Heroine Make Mascaras

After using both of the mascaras, i understood the product more. The different shape of the wand is not the only thing that's categorizing the mascaras differently.

Hence, it brings me to say that the content of the both mascaras are different which caters to your specific needs.

The thing in common of the both mascaras that one of the reason is the most sought after mascaras in the market, is the fair amount of fiber in its content.
In addition, Kiss Me's mascaras are very long-lasting this is a very #truestory. So long-lasting that it last even after you wakeup from a long sleep or a shower without smudging! The longest i've experimented to leave it on is for more than 24hours (yeap, i slept with my mascara on), even after 24hours it still stays strong.
With that being said, its a little harder to remove with its distinguish long-lasting & non smudging feature. Especially, with the normal make up remover. Thus, Kiss Me has exclusively catered Kiss Me's Mascara Remover for you girls out there!

Get ready for have lashes that have the false eyelashes illusion .

Long & Curl Mascara

Here, im wearing the long and curl mascara on a bare face as i wanted to bring attention on just the eyes and eyelashes.

This is how the Long & Curl mascara's wand looks like- a C-shaped wand. This C-shaped wand will help to curl up the lashes even more.
The length and shape of the wand bristles helps to specifically create longer lashes. The minimal space between the bristles will help to cover every single eyelash individually.

To use this mascara, hold the wand with the "C" facing upwards. Doing so will help you to curl your lashes further.

A couple weeks back, i have gone to perm my eyelashes. And here is how it looks like before putting on mascara. Thus, i dont need to use eyelash curler as much.

A closeup shot on my eyes wearing Kiss Me's Long & Curl mascara.

As i've mentioned earlier, i wore it for 24 hours right? Thus, wearing through the night. That late night, Dad asked me if I was wearing fake eyelashes. And he hardly ever questions about beauty/girly stuffs- cause what do they know right? its 'all the same' to them.
Then i told explained to him that the fake look-a-like eyelashes were MINE and REAL!

Volume & Curl Mascara

This is how the volume & curl mascara wand looks like- an hourglass shaped wand. The dense bristles helps to pack the fiber on your lashes to create that desired volume.
This application however does not feel as 'wet' as the Long & Curl's mascara which is suitable for packing that fiber onto your lashes without getting the lashes later clump up together.

Here, i've got my neighbourhood friend and which i've known since high school to help me with my review as shes the only chinese girl i know which have really long and straight asian lashes.
Sadly, this is uncommon for chinese girls are we dont inherit the genes of beautiful lush eyelashes.

Meet my friend, Jen, a single eyelid long straight lashes girl.

As you can see the obvious lash transformation from the Before and After photo.
AMAZING! Thanks to Kiss Me, she has now double eyelids and with beautiful pair of peacock-like eyes.
She too was shocked that her eyelashes could be curled as she has stubborn eyelashes.

I very jelly of her eyelashes.
How I wished my mum trimmed my eyelashes when i was a baby too :(

My turn to try it on...

Again, with a bare face.

Close up shot of my eyes in the Volume & Curl mascara

As of recent, i've been trying a 'new look' with my middle hair parting.
Honestly, im kind of liking the change. Last time, the hairstylist said i'll look better in mid parting but i disagreed. Now, im thinking its not such a bad idea and it doesnt look that weird on me as it did last time.
or does it?
Feedbacks? Honest opinion?

Anyways, back to the topic...
Even my bestie JL, thought I was wearing falsies (short for fake eyelashes) when i told them they were self-grown ones!

For my lashes, i prefer the Volume & Curl much more. Afraid of using it too much and it finishing soon too.

Kiss Me's Heroine Make BB Cream/Liquid

Both of these products are highly functional BB cream that can will create flawless looking skin by hiding the 7 major obstacles which are;
1. Sunburn
2. Pores
3. Freckles
4. Spots
5. Dullness
6. Unwanted Shine (Oily)
7. Dryness

Also, both are outdoor-friendly as they have SPF 30 PA++ to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and also prevention of spots and freckles caused by sunburn.

This also provides the Foundation effect which helps to control visibility of dullness, freckles and spots. The flesh-coloured base naturally matches your skin tone without any whitish finish.
On the other hand, it also has that Pores cover effect, leaving the skin even and smooth by reflecting the light diffusely.

Trying on a pair of thick falsies with a bare face.

Matte BB Liquid

Even though the Matte BB Liquid name is pretty much self-describe already, ill try to go into a little more details about this product. This will last you for about 4 months when used once a day.

It has the Super Matte Effect as it contains sebum absorbing powder & super mat power. It helps to control the shine and prevent makeup from wearing off.

Its entirely up to you if you prefer to apply it with your fingers or with a make up brush. However, I on the other hand prefer to use fingers (not used to using the brush yet) as the heat from your fingers will help the application to more even and matching with your skin tone.
Actually, this is also a matter of preference, make up brush also do the job fairly well too. Some people prefer using brush because its hygienic.

After applied, Your face will have that matte finishing that makes your skin look oh-so-flawless or anime-like.

As it also works as a foundation, I patted on some makeup to see how effective it is. So far, im really liking it!

Essence in BB Cream (Make up Base)

The ingredients contains super hyaluronic acid, Nano collagen, Rosehip extract, and Chamomile extract. Plus, it fully moisturizes deep down in the skin.
This will last you 3 months when used once a day.

Dont get the name and ingredient confused as the 'essence' doesnt necessarily means there is fragrance in it. This is non fragrance and non mineral oil.
The rosehip extract & chamomile extract simply acts as a moisturizing effect.

Left is the True colour, Right is taken with Flash.
As you can see, the colour matches my skin tone perfectly. I doubt it only matches my skin tone alone as this BB flesh-coloured cream seem to be very versatile.
The opening is fairly small, so you dont need to worry if you tend to squeeze out much more than you need and this soft tube will give you the control to squeeze out the right amount.

Why not use it as a sun block too? You can enjoy all day long under the sun without having to worry your makeup smudging away at the same time have flawless skin and also be protected from the harmful sun.

     A couple things i'd like to introduce too, [Left] Barrier Repair helps to moisture your skin to keep it hydrated and fresh-looking at the same time it also helps to control the sebum produced to make the skin oily. Hence, this works both ways! It worked great for my dry skin. What is the Hyaluronic acid? Sounds scary with the word acid in it? Dont worry, this isnt going to harm you. In fact, this do you a favour by keeping that youthful skin of yours as this helps in anti-aging .

     [Right] Cleansing Express is a water-based makeup remover. Dont worry, as there is also another one for Oily skin. Now, this im seriously loving! My makeup are removed almost instantly with no oil left behind as its water-based. With this product, you need not to wash face (or wiping with tissue cause of laziness) after removing your makeup like you usually would. This also acts as a cooling toner to your skin and you can also head right to bed in it.

Yay! double + for me and the lazy people out there too!

Acts like a 3 in 1 makeup remover as i can remove my eyes, face & lips. Just a little heads up when using this to remove your lipstick- it will leave a slight bitterness as its to avoid you from licking your whole lips. With this, you know after a long day in your makeup you can be quick to get rid of your makeup with hardly any effort.

[Left] Spread the Makeup remover on a piece of cotton. [Right] Baby moist milk onto your palm and apply it on your face- it even looks like its milk.

Last but not least, Thanks a bunch to Kiss Me MY for the products ! I had fun trying out new stuffs! As my lovely readers may know that this is my first cosmetic product review and I hopefully in the future ill be able to do more of these for you guys.

Absolut Vodka Tower now absolut Launched and Available

2012-01-20T23:12:00.000+08:00

Finally! it has absolut arrived!! I present you.... Absolut Vodka Towers imported all the way from Sweden! Sadly, it is Not available for sale or even for prize giveaway during the launch. Thats how exclusive it is ;)

yep, there were a few sad faces when they found out they cant bring the tower home.

Having a glass of vodka isnt enough right, ~~alcoholics~~ social drinkers? Thats were this tower comes in to place!

[Attention] Guys! this is how you can get ladies instead of buying each of them a drink. Everyone can share a couple of towers and it will last you the night. And i can ensure, F U N will be included ;)

I personally think that bringing the towers to Malaysia is a great idea! Beer towers are sooo 2011. Liquor Towers are the new hot thing in 2012!

The exclusive invitees only launch was held at Ecoba, PJ Trade Centre (near Curve).

To have the absolut experience of Absolut Vodka Tower, you can enjoy them at Ecoba, View Rooftop Bar, AfterWerk (Scott Garden) and Neverland.

Heres my turn to have my OWN tower mixing it by ourselves.

Valerie & Sandy's towers

Taadaaa! My mix was Vodka + Lime.
If you dint know yet, i loveeee anything sour! it tickles my taste buds.
And i just had to make mine pure Lime + Vodka. heheh

[from left] Valerie [Vodka+ Orange+Cranberry+Lime], Sandy [Vodka+ Lime+Cranberry], Me[Vodka+Lime]

Valerie's one tasted more tropical because of the orange citrus in it. Sandy's one was rather sweet, and ofcourse mine was sour max.

Shortly after we had our towers, it was time for an interactive game session!
Fixing Puzzles!

However, I, on the other hand, OBVIOUSLY not a pro at puzzles.
I dint even realize that my puzzle piece wasnt a picture perfect . Hahaha! I dint even had that much to drink...yet.
[ go ahead and laugh when you see whats wrong with my puzzle piece ]

An angpau lucky draw for the prize.....

and i was OVERLY HAPPY when i saw the picture of a mixing set! because it comes in a Absolut Vodka BAG! It smells of leather though *wink wink*

Sandy got a Tower- redeemable on her next visit, I got a Mixing Set in a Bag & Valerie got a Absolu Vodka glass. It was kewl that each one of us got different prizes.

On the other hand, this Limited Edition Absolut Vodka is imported from China.
And guess which alcoholic got it?...

MIKE!
Quite a few people were lucky enough to it bring home .. Sadly, none at our table..

With them pretty girls :)
i know im quite short but then Valerie is veryyy tall!!

Us girls with Don. Without his man, we wouldnt had such a fun night.

Sadly, i only get to catch up with Linora from Red FM after she changed from her beautiful dress. I like her segments on RedFM. 11am-3pm. She always sounds soooo joyful- Really!

Freda (in grey) joined us later on, and went with the girls for a second round at OverTime.... i had almost too much to drink and was good for the night. Besides, i dont really fancy beer.

Last but not least, a photo with the very good looking model/host/actor Josiah Mizukami.
Oppp, did you catch The Viral Factor (starring Nicholas Tse & Jay Chou) yet? He's in the movie!!
Not to mention, got his ass handed to him by Nic & Jay ;)If you dint know, some parts of the movie were shot in Kuala Lumpur!

Heres the contents in my Absolut Vodka bag ;)
A mini Absolut Vodka! wayyyy cute! First to my miniature collection ;)

It was great meeting Sandy, Valerie, Liyin & Freda. Cant wait to attend the next ~~drinking session~~ outing :)

The Descendants Movie Review

2012-01-17T03:26:00.001+08:00

Last week, i attended the press screening of The Descendants at GSC MV, little did i know that it would be Trending Worldwide on twitter just yesterday after the Golden Globes Awards 2012.
As the movie took home TWO awards!

Best Drama and Best Actor for George Clooney .
*claps*

The Descendants Movie Review;
♥♥♥♡♡
The first time when you hear the movie title "The Descendants", im sure some of you are thinking its a 'Horror' film. Because thats what i thought until i saw the trailer. "The Descendants" are actually referring to Matt (George Clooney) and his siblings that are the descendants of the Hawaii prime land.

Its a poignant film to begin with. This story shows how a family come together and deal with an issue- making decisions which results in the consequences or the outcome of it. Its one that some families may be able to relate to. It also brings in an element of responsible ownership to the heritage from your ancestors.

Surprisingly, i found myself laughing almost half the time as they do add a little humour here and there. Just to give you a little heads up, there are quite a number of "F**k" and vulgar words being thrown around among the family. The little sister will definitely surprise you ;)

Running time approx 1hr50mins. It may feel a little long for a movie like this, but i think that was an appropriate running time as a family matter isnt solved that easily or quickly.

You would also probably know Shailene Woodley(most left) from The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Shes very pretty.
And for the guys, she does appear quite a number of times in different bikinis ;)

In some way, i guess i liked the father figure he acted so well. He was a pretty cool dad.

George Clooney & his girlfriend

When watching the film, i thought they had gone to an extend to make George look way old. Little did i know that in his current photos, he does actually looks that old. As my memory tells me that George still has (mostly) dark hair. Guess my memory was outdated. But they movie did make him look like a workaholic father that hardly hits the gym. George is still in a very fit state for his age at 51 years old.

The Descendants will be showing in Malaysia's cinemas on the
16 Feb 2012

Thanks Seventeen for the press screening invite.

Hennessy V.S.O.P NyX Collection Launch Party @ Vertigo Club

2012-01-08T23:44:00.002+08:00

Surpriseeee! Hennessy NyX Collection Launch Party was held at a secret location and most invitees only had a rough idea where was it going to be held ;)
Invitees were greeted and directed from the roadshow at East Atrium as if we're in a treasure hunting game
Them 'lady gagas' did not say where our destination was as they only guided us along the journey.

Eventhough i knew where was it going to be held, I played along ;)

Arrived a little late after dropping by Vicky's place to pick her up. There werent many people left at the roadshow as you can see. Little did i know that Malaysians did not practice the 'Malaysia's Timing' culture at this event. *Surpised*
Malaysia's New Year's Resolution?! Or maybe because there was Free Flow of Hennessy NyX collection that the people did not want to miss out on?

Check out my previous BLOGPOST to know a little bit more on the new NyX Collection.

Games to be played on the iPad. Highest score wins a Hennessy NyX bottle ;)

Vicky, Tanya (Sis), Me.
Gosh, it was so nice to catch up a little bit (in a sober state) with Vicky after 2-3 years since i met her at a drinking session ;)

You may have noticed me wearing a ballet flat instead of those sexy stilettos eh?
Its cause of my broken pinky toe :(
I have to give up heels for at least 2 months but thats not going to stop me from partying! woot wooot!

Love love love the colours! Inspired my makeup look for the night :)

If you had not notice it yet, the dress code was White or Ultra Violet.
White was preferred as we will be under UV lighting that makes us glow in the dark ;)
WHITE GLOVES were our passport into the event.
I had a Media (glow in the dark) magic stamp on my wrist but it was hardly visible.

Walked in Vertigo and it was crowded! it was ~~Bumper to bumper~~ ~~butt to butts~~ shoulder to shoulder!!
Definitely a great response from the crowd :)
The tables were first come first served! WTH? So we chilled by the table where some of the bloggers were at.

DJ BLINK was in the haussss! DJ Goldfish, Y U NO up there too? :(
DJ Blink brought the haus down, or rather the dance floor with those wicked beats!

Unfortunately for the guys , this event was filled with Males! I think there was prolly around 60% Male & 40% Female.

and i think you know how many percent of girls should be more than guys at any clubs for that matter
But i spotted quite a number of cute guys though.
I think there were mostly males because they were crazy for the free flow and arrived way early to get crazeeeh.

us girls with Sam Insanity.

So jelly the gloves were nicely fit for them guys.

opppp! look at us G l o w.

Mr. Lou Sai aka Joseph Germani, Malaysian youtube rising star?
Check out his videos @ GermaniProductions
Snapping photos in a club #likealousai ;)

yi ching, sis, me, jason aka mynjayz

i jelly his Hennessy glowinthedark tattoo! :(
the que was so long! dint bother waiting in line as there were No special lane for the media/bloggers. Sighs.

with melanie hwa
when i say/type her name, i keep thinking of a flower. heh

Alot more photos taken with photog's awesome camera. Shall post it up as soon as they upload on facebook.

Hennessy NyX ran DRY pretty darn fast. I only had a few drinks and the waiter that was suppose to be going around serving drinks were hardly seen! Now, that was a real disappointment :(
At least, i got to taste the NyX Cranberry flav. That, iLike! :)
I wasnt even tipsy when i left the event which is pretty rare considering the free flow. Was practically sober!! -__-

Honestly, i think that Hennessy NyX launch could've been better. Well, theres always room for improvement.
Last but not least, thanks to Bryan for the night! :)
It was nice to see alot of familiar faces too as Its been a while since my boring hectic exam life. Heheh!

Dropped by Library soon after the alcohol went dry at vertigo =X

Surprisingly i bumped into my Cousin that recently just came back from macau for holiday!

only my polariod photo was so close up which looked i was almost nekked in it >=| Thanks Sis.

us with Daphne which looks like a friend i know named Claudia.
notice we all happen to wear white? Lul

and of course the camwhoring starts :P

Although the makeup look i did inspired from the NyX Collection theme wasnt what i imagined it to be, i was still reluctant to remove it to bed and actually considered sleeping in it. LUL!
But i didnt.

This marks my first week of holiday too. Been working for almost a full month. 19 days to be exact.
So far so good. Been pretty busy this week but i feel that its going to get more chill than this :)
Overjoyed too as tons of my fav tvshows just came on from summer holiday!! My days and weeks has been so dull without them.

Shogun Japanese Buffet @ SOHO KL, Solaris Mont Kiara

2011-11-21T13:22:00.000+08:00

Finally im able to update my blog and after a weekend long of frustration of not being able to upload all my photos. So I hope you'll enjoy the photos !

17 November

Dad's belated birthday dinner was the occasion. Coincidentally it was Shogun's grand opening too! which is located just right above Solaris Mont Kiara's Cold Storage. Alot of Media and Guest but i went as neither one of them- But a paying customer. I also bumped into TianChad.com there.

Needless to say, the place was filled. But not over-crowded. Still able to move about and not having to wait in ridiculous long ques as the place was pretty spacious and they had wide variations of food situated at different spots.

We were greeted by a long row of sweet smelling bouquets- that made me wanna poke my nose into every bouquet to get a good sniff of it. Lul!!

Which also brought back memories.

Surprisingly, the outdoor/ ~~city~~ highway view area was fairly spacious. With multiple misty fans surrounding the area. It was cooling. But if youre more of a aircond-dont-like-sweating type of person than i'd suggest you to make your reservations before your visit.

Some food are freshly cooked upon requests.

Your very own Dim Sum station.
They even have shark's fin dumpling! :(

Any fans of CHUKA IDAKO?! (baby octopus)
I got a lil bit kiasu and took a little too much and i couldnt finish it. Just so you know, they're sauce is not the normal one you usually get from Sushi King/Sakae Sushi/Sushi Zanmai. It had Shogun's touch to it- a little hint of hotness ;)

Oh boy, this got my heart broken to pieces :(

Every chinese's favourite- Shark's Fin Soup.
It might have worth your money paying for this buffet and i would've prolly gotten more than 3 bowls of it, if it was a year or two ago But this is wrong. How a shark has to go thru cruelty just moments before its death so humans could enjoy a ridiculously priced bowl of soup- it sickens me.
If you agree- Say No to Shark's Fin Soup with me! :)

Sauce lovers, Here is your heaven.

The never ending supply of Sushi & California rolls throughout the night.

So i sneaked into the kitchen (with permission) to get a little closer look of what they were doing to satisfy the customer's tummy.

Spotted! CUTE Moo Moo cow printed ice making machine ( i think )

Beverages corner. Hot Drinks, Cold drinks, you name it.

Again, Shark's fin cooked with Egg :(

Behold, this is the Steam Cod Fish Head!
It gets empty quick as soon as its filled. Alot people were smart and kept eyeing on the refills for this. Definitely one of the highlights of the night.
Heard that a piece as small as your palm would prolly cost about rm30? Plus, imagine the amount of protein youre getting from this Cod Fish!

Slicing up the fresh salmon and tuna to be served raw.

Paul the Octopus! would you eat? I tried but i dint like it.
I can somehow feel that the tentacles still in motion. Maybe too much Pirates of the Caribbean :P

Now this is the Soon Hock Bamboo Fish!
ZOMG! It was soooo fresh, i felt like i was eating a cotton candy. the meat was so Soft! You dont have a chance of even chewing/biting before you swallow. Definitely another Highlight of the night.

Steam Cod Fish Head!

as i mentioned before this.

Belly Salmon Teriyaki

Behold, the 100 KG TUNA! Definitely the highlight of the night.

This was the tuna they were serving us for the night. I wonder how much did we ate from this tuna. How much was left of it after that night. Teehee.

Green muscle with garlic sauce. i Like! :)

GREEN TEA Ice cream!! Shogun Scored right there!!
Its time for something different other than the usuals including my used-to-be-favourite Peppermint ice cream. Dont worry, there are 2 ice cream refrigerators there.

And for Dessert Time!

Looks might be deceiving; they actually give you the one behind in the picture.
It tasted very blah without the chocolate sprinkles on it.

There was couple of table behind us that were having their team building.
Very cool. Most of them were very sporting in participating in the game organized.

Now this small part of the restaurant is a little bit more private. If you would like to celebrate a special occasion, best to request for this area. Fits roughly 25 people.

Look!! The Tuna's head is even bigger than my head. Prolly TWICE the size of mine! D:
Monsters of the sea~

The staffs were pretty friendly too. And they kept working hard to replenish the trays after they've been emptied out. The best time to eat was when it was almost the closing time. Every had their tummies filled and they would still replenish the food.
This was the grand opening of Shogun, so im not entirely sure about the service during a normal day. #justsaying.

Family photo!

Dearest mummy! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

Ended up being the last one landing! I even begged for more time for the family to stay so i could chill and enjoy my ice cream =P
I was seriously veryyyyyyy full by then.
Green Tea ice cream was just the cherry on top

As i might not have helped it, I may have taken one or two flowers back home with me *Shhhhhhh*

Taken after getting ready (before i got all sweaty and sticky)

How are you liking my make up? :)

And if you havent meet my paper craft Danbo, since you arent friends with me on Facebook yet.
Here it my baby Danbo! Its self made!
I have a Album of it in Facebook which you can check it out if you like.
The real Danbo is on my Christmas list ;)

Till the next time;

Jayesslee Live in City Harvest Malaysia

2011-10-26T18:48:00.001+08:00

Hakunamatata! random

Its been almost a month since i've updated my blog, my life has been pretty hectic lately. But no worries, ill try to find time and hopefully at the same time have the mojojojo to blog too :)

Last Sunday, i've heard from my colleague Kevin which is an avid member of City Harvest church that the Jayesslee twins will be performing at their church too. A day after their concert held at PWTC.
Went with bro, sis and her boyfie.

If you dont know who is Jayesslee yet. Check out Jayesslee@Youtube. They are both 23 year old, identical twins from Australia and but are Korean.

Honestly, im not a huge fan of the twins. So i wasnt really interested into going to their concert. I realize it wasnt my priority atm.
Plus, the performance at the church was ofcourse free. You never need to pay to enter a church. And it was a great opportunity for me to visit City Harvest for the first time.

There was a massive crowd just outside the auditorium, waiting in line for the doors to be open. City Harvest church mainly consist of 90% young adults/ youths. Not to mention, most knew their way in fashion- surprised :)
The auditorium filled up very quickly. Thankgod i came just in time for one of the best seats in the house. Hehe! Thanks to Kevin for telling us the seating plan ;)

Worship was awesome. Then followed by the most anticipating appearance of the Twins!

Janice and Sonia were doing a vlog and Yeappp! We're gonna be on JAYESSLEETV@Youtube!

It was nice seeing the church to reach a full capacity too. Approx 2000-3000!

Then it was their time to share their testimony. It was about her mum that had Breast Cancer when Janice & Sonia were only at a very young age. So young. They dint knew cancer wouldnt be healed like a flu or a fever.
Day by day, their mum would go weaker with hair falling out because of the chemotherapy but then her mum would tell the twins to Love and Thank God as much as they could.

It was touching because even though their mum would be in a sick and weak stage, their mum would still shine through with joy. Even at the very last breath, she worshiped God in arms wide open.
Im sure Janice & Sonia's mum is a veryyy proud mum watching from Heaven above :)

This was their last song they sang. It was the worship song that was playing when her mum passed.

Sonia [left] & Janice [right] are even CUTER IN REAL LIFE! no joke kayy!
Plus, that cute aussie accent. Woah. Im a girl and im saying these things. Hahah!

How to tell them apart?
Simple, Sonia is always the one playing the guitar! And Janice are the main vocals.

At the end of the service. There was a Autograph & Photography session with the Twins. Too bad i had to rush off right after for lunch. It was again, Mad crowded. Guess there was many fans that came for a free performance too. Hmph. However, i find it quite disrespectful when alot of people visited the church solely for the performance of Jayesslee. For goodness sake, its a church! Not only that, Alot left the church halfway or however earliest as possible to be in the best line awaiting for the Autograph & Photography session. Pfft.

On the other hand, there were alot of visitors (including me), and ofcourse there were visitors that werent Christians. And about 100 commited their lives to Jesus Christ as their God and savoir . Amen!

P/S; if you dint know, that huge screen as the backdrop is the 2nd World's LARGEST LCD Screen.

Anyways, Enjoy the videos i took :)

Camwhoring a little after leaving the church.
Btw, i just got my brows done! Eyebrow Treading. I think its one of the best shape i've gotten. I went to a new place to try it out and seems like ill be going back there a whole lot more! Its cheap too!
I might just do a simple review the next time i get to keep my eyebrows till it gets to be in an embarrassing state. Then you'll be able to see the difference :)

It was one of the best days of my life

2011-09-29T12:21:00.001+08:00

Here is another entry of my celebrity dream journal. Woke up thinking it was almost noon as I felt like I had a 'heavy' sleep.

I had 2 dreams . Im trying to recall as I type and hopefully Its still somewhat fresh in my mind somewhere. It was such a long dream, it was hard to remember the details to the core.

Dream #1

There was I, rushing in to the airport. Looking around and noticing that there was no sight of a fan girl crowd. It was quiet. Then it came to me that, the event was already over. The 'stars' were not anywhere at sight. My friend, M, gave me his pass. I quickly went backstage. I saw the whole crew there, including the 'stars' just chilling after their show. It was a 5 boys member group. They reminded me of Secondhand Serenade, Click Five and All Time Low.

I strongly think they were All Time Low. I guess what triggered the dream was their MV i watched yesterday on youtube. Not a fan of them though All Time Low is set to come for the Rockaway concert on the 8 Oct in KL. I've heard quite a number of people are fans but i just dont really get it.

Anyways, back to the dream, i took the advantage before it was too late of asking each member for their autograph- Even the manager's. They were getting ready for bed. They were sleeping backstage in small rooms, on the floor with a tiny mattress- uh huh. Dreams are weird like that. They gave me their autograph but gave me a reluctant hug. Almost as if they were not suppose to hug me.
I was thinking, "Oh geez, they arent the friendliest". I left the place with at least 5 autographs in pen on my crumpled paper. *Mission Accomplished*

Dream #2

It was another Fan Meet. The second fan meet i'd ever attended. The first Fan meet I really attended was Jay Park's Fan Meet & Hi-5! This time, its Jay Park Fan Meet Round #2. I remember being in a crowd together with other crazy screaming fan girls.

Actually, i was sulking, not having he best time of my life, yet. In the crowd i stood quietly, I hardly screamed when Jay Park appeared right in front of us. I was very near the stage, almost just 2 meters away. It was time, he was suppose to choose 2 girls from the fan girl crowd to be on the stage with him. He handpicked my friend from the crowd- a used-to-be-close-friend i was no longer talking to at a point. My chances of getting picked just plunged down. Still sulking and couldnt care less anymore, A hand held out right to me, it was too close to pretend not to notice. It was Jay Park, handing his hand out to me! In shocked- I froze.

It was still my dream- remember? ;)

I guess i was sulking because, i'd thought he remember me from the crowd. And i guess dreams do come true ;)
He pulled me up to the stage, no little stairway no nothing, just his strength strong arms that supported my weight to be up on stage with him. Every girl in the crowd gave echos of "Awh" not because it was sweet that he did that, it was because they weren't chosen. Jay interacted with the crowd a little while me and T stood opposite each other on the stage.

A sudden rush of confidence shot through me. Clearly as i remember, my makeup was crappy that day- so crappy, it was embarrassing to be on stage. It was only eyeliner and some matte brown eyeshadow. Whaaat was I thinking going out like that. I suddenly had the balls to walk right next to Jay and support him in anything that he was saying. Yes, he speaks fluent english :)
Noticing my support, He grab me by the waist and pulled me close to his body. I could hear a couple of fans gasp at his actions. I tried to hide my smile that was to my ears. I held on tightly by his side too. I pity T that was just standing shyly in the background. But it was my moment! (ROFL)

Oh yeah, He was wearing a body fitting white shirt. His hair was still black and in a mohawk like before. Very sleek looking. It was satisfaction when I could feel his body so close to mind, gripping onto his waist so tightly. Who in their right mind wouldnt take advantage of this moment? I passed on my camera to a familiar face which was my classmate in the crowd and asked to snap tons of photos of me with Jay.

It was time for some activities for the fans. One of it i remembered was Sand Art. Wherever he went, he would be crowded by the fans, but the fans still knew their boundary so its cool. I would tag along with him and he would just be on the mic entertaining the fans as if he is the host/mc. I dint care, i would hug him from behind.

A hug something like this.
But my both arms resting on his shoulder.

Somehow it came to feel like a very lover-ly feeling. I could feel his fine muscular body, And ofcourse I enjoyed every second of it.

I could feel like it was coming to an end (things that are just too good to be true) and i knew we had to take tons of nice photos for my safe-keeping to make sure this is a memory i'll look back to. I needed to look my best for one of the best days of my life. I excused myself (trying not to be too clingy) to run to the nearest Watson to get a makeup emergency fix from those 'Tester' on display. Running in my heels as fast as possible so i wouldnt miss out anything at the FM. I wasnt familiar with his place. I was outside the building asking for directions to Watson now.

Then it was too late.

I had to wakeup from my usual 7 hours of sleep.

What a bummer how it ended, I dint even get to say Goodbye :( or a Goodbye Kiss.

Still, Im happy to have Jay Park in my celebrity dream journal <3

p/s; the words in Purple will mean that its a trigger how/why it appeared in the dream. I can sort of control my dreams (Not when im in it). Somethings that had happened in real life will appear in my dream.

Drive Movie Review

2011-09-26T22:53:00.004+08:00

Was watching it last night, till i suddenly had to go out for a yamcha at 3am with the ol' bestie- CS.
Slept at 6am and wokeup almost 3pm. Long 8 hours of sleep and i dint even felt it until Mum, that was on leave, woke me up saying its already past 2. I jerked from bed as half the day and my 'holiday' was gone- spending it in Dreamland.

Anyways, watching this movie at my own leisure, I felt not so bad for missing the Movie Premier that is actually happening right now as Im typing.

Drive Movie Review;
♥♥♥♡♡

The start of the movie got me holding on to my seat. I thought to myself, Im already liking the movie and its probably going to get better from here. Watching the trailer, i thought it would be something like a Fast Five kindda movie- fast cars, police chasing. But i know this one is a solo driver . The story dint went as i'd expect i guess.

Ryan Gosling had a very calm demeanor- almost charming. I expected more fast cars racing though, then the story went to almost gruesomely violent- I personally find it quite disturbing. Other than that, theres a scene a room full of topless chicks ;)

The story was so-so. Nothing different. The Ending wasnt that cliche though ;)

Probably the cinema will cut out parts that gets way to 'intense' with the blood etc. Hence, i dont think that will be a disturbing sight if you catch it in the cinemas.

I personally, wouldnt watch this movie again.

P/S; This film I gave a 3/5 rating but it could also have gone for a 2/5 rating.


In some way, i think they look suitable for each other in the movie. She somehow looks like him. Luls.

Ryan has a habit of having a Toothpick in his mouth. Super gangsta.

His favourite jacket . I wonder if the yellow scorpion means anything.

Irony, In the movie, Ryan Gosling is a part-time stunt driver for movies but in real life, he needs a stunt man to do his role.

Abduction Movie Review

2011-09-23T20:42:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night, I went for a special screening of Abduction at GSC 1 Utama. So excited as I've been waiting to watch this, that i've been planning for months. This will most probably be the last movie i catch in the cinemas before my exam. And the Next to catch would be Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn? ;)

Here I've posted a non official trailer. WHY? cause the Official trailer basically tells you the ENTIRE Movie in less than 3mins. I hate it when trailer are like that.

Check out Taylor Lautner's Interview with MTV.

I watched this few months back and these was what made me want to watch the movie as soon as it came out. Actually, i watch the interviewS on MTV News. But it seems like its "not available in our region". Weird cause i could watch it a few months back. Hrmmm~

Anyways, i found this on youtube to share with you guys :)

Abduction Movie Review;

♥♥♥♥♡

The very athletic-body heartthrob is back in a different genre compared to his well-known role as Jacob in Twilight. Matt Damon & Tom Cruise can move over (and say goodbye to their careers) cause Taylor at only at the age of 19 is doing very well in this action role.

I felt like the movie was a little short even though it was slightly over the usual, 1hr30 mins. Maybe it was because Im a fan of the Twilight Saga and this script is a little short for him. If the movie could have extended 30mins more to make the story filled with more details. Therefore, I felt the movie was a little rushed and everything happened so quickly.

On the other hand, i was jealous of his co-star Lily Collins mainly because theres a couple of making out scenes. BTW, i did notice a short Cut in the making out scenes. (I think they cut the part when it was, the clothes ripping, body touching, intense making out scene). *Pfft* You know Malaysian's cinema.

In conclusion, the storyline dint make it any more different compared to an Action movie. If youre a fan of action (and secretly probably Taylor Lautner too) you'll most probably like it. Its not only a movie for girls to go gaga over for Taylor but guys can also see lithe fighting skills in the newborn action star and also guys would probably wanna look up to Taylor for his perfect buffed body.

Why do you see this much used poster almost everywhere? Its cause he did this stunt himself!
Most of the dangerous stunt had a stunt master behind it but Taylor insisted on doing this action stunt himself as it was a possible one. He got little bruises here and there doing the scene a few times to get the perfect take but it dint stop him. It was definitely a proud achievement for him.

The intense making out scene that the cinema slight cut to be fit for PG13 rating.
If you notice, from the trailer you can see that he is ripping his shirt off. That Did Not happened in the movie ;)

Hot boxing turned fighting scene between Nathan (Taylor) & his Dad with a professional guiding them.

So this is how they film a running scene.

Sweet looking girl, Lily Collins. Alot of girls must've been very envious of her role being so close to Taylor. One thing i couldnt help but to keep staring was her EYEBROWS! Thick ones indeed.

And here it is, Taylor Lautner topless duringt he making of the movie! I know he couldnt help but being topless mostly thruout the Twilight Saga. Theres are a few scenes in Abduction where the director took advantage of Taylor's body and had him shirtless ;)

Lastly, here is Taylor Lautner in one of his first few movie films in the movie called Shark Boy & Lava Girl.

So proud he has come such a long way :)
I remember google-ing him after watching this movie even when i was a kid. Hahha!

Watch out, cause Taylor Lautner is the hot new hollywood star that be making his way to the banks!

How To Access/Bypass Blocked or Restricted Websites

2011-09-21T00:17:00.001+08:00

I know Im a few months late after the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) of the Malaysia's Government publicly blocked our favourite websites by sending a letter to our internet providers to block or restrict the 10 file sharing/downloading websites.

When I heard the news, I hardly bothered cause I thought they wouldnt block my all time favourite; Megavideo. But when i saw the newspaper....to my horror, there it was....Megavideo.com listed among the 9 other blocked websites.

Megavideo was probably my greatest life discovery. I almost couldnt live without megavideo- not one day. So thankgod, within a week after the ban was enforced, i had gotten my normal life back- Life with megavideo.

So here I've gathered a few methods on how to get your internet back to the way it was. As good as thou the ban dint even took place =D

Some of the methods below will too able you to access restricted websites such as social networking sites in your office ;)

Thus, imma try to make it real easy and simple for my readers.

1. Proxy Servers

A proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules.
Hence, Its also another way for us to gain access to any website that has been blocked by our company such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot etc) or in Malaysia's case, blocked by your country.

Source: Wikipedia

What are the purpose of proxy servers?

- To keep machines behind it anonymous (mainly for security).

-To speed up access to resources (using caching). Web proxies are commonly used to cache web pages from a web server.

-To apply access policy to network services or content, e.g. to block undesired sites.

-To log / audit usage, i.e. to provide company employee Internet usage reporting.

-To bypass security/ parental controls.

-To scan transmitted content for malware before delivery.

-To scan outbound content, e.g., for data leak protection.

-To circumvent regional restrictions.

Source: Wikipedia

Here are a list of said to be fast & reliable Proxy Servers list:

1. http://hidemyass.com/

2. http://facebookfree.com/
3. http://www.unblock-twit.com/
4. http://webtosurf.com/
5. http://www.silverhideout.com/
6. http://www.hi5dd.com/
7. http://www.metacafeproxy.com/
8. http://www.thefacebookproxy.com/
9. http://www.vdai.net/
10. http://www.redhider.com/
11. http://changemyip.cz.cc/
12. https://www.kproxy.com/

I personally have not tried all of them, But do note that some of them will not work for megavideo because the proxy server does not support the megavideo player.
By using the proxy server, your office's IT department will not be able to detect you surfing restricted websites. So no worries that you'll be fired from work :P

2. Ultrasurf software

Go > www.ultrareach.com. Click > Download button (top left of the page).

This software is portable; no installation required and you can put it in your USB to use it. With this software, you can bypass firewall, encrypt your activities , mask your IP address and bypass censorship or blocked site.
This free Ultrasurf anti-censorship software is a product of Ultrareach Internet Corporation. Originally created to help internet users in China find security and freedom online, Ultrasurf has now become the world’s most popular pro-privacy, anti-censorship software, with millions of people using it to bypass firewalls and protect their identity online.

Heres a video on Ultrasurf, everything you need to know its there :)

I tried this and it was working perfectly fine, i could watch my tv shows and movies on megavideo and then my connection started to get all effed up. I had problems even connecting to the internet. Thus, i stopped using it. Some people seem to be having no problems with Ultrasurf but it doesnt work for me. If you do not want to risk your internet being f**ked up which then I cant help you cause I couldnt even help myself (I think i had to do a system restore if i remember correctly) cause you cant simply just uninstall it from your computer as it doesnt even need installation.
So its up to you if you are willing to take a risk. I am just giving my readers the Option :)

3. I2P

I2P (originally from pseudomathematical notation I²P, short for Invisible Internet Project, although it is not commonly referred to by this name anymore) is a mixed-license, free and open source project building an anonymous network (or, more accurately, a pseudonymous overlay network). The network is a simple layer that applications can use to anonymously and securely send messages to each other. Possible uses include anonymous surfing, chatting, blogging and file transfers.

4. Virtual Private networks

Another way to access a blocked websites is using Virtual Private networks (VPN). It helps user browse internet with a more secure connection and browse the internet as if they were situated in that country. Some services are offered for a monthly fee, others are ad-supported. For free service, you need to install their software. VPN can help you to make sure you get a secure connection using a public wifi too. Here are some example of free VPN.

USA IP

PacketiX

Cyber Ghost

the best for the last....

5. DNS IP Addresses

Another way to access block website is with a DNS IP address. For the record, it Does Not make your internet browsing fast. Domain Name System (DNS) is a phone book for our Internet Ip addresses. You'll need to key in or change the DNS ip addresses. Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.

Here are some step by step on how to access/ bypass the blocked websites.

Changing DNS server settings on Microsoft WINDOWS XP

Right Click on the Active Internet Connection that you are currently using.

To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and click Properties.
To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and click Properties.

Taadaaa! and youre Done! :)

Changing DNS server settings on Microsoft WINDOWS 7

Right click on your Active internet connection you are currently using.

To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and click Properties.
To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and click Properties.

Taadaaa! and youre Done! :)

Changing DNS server settings on Mac OS X

Choose your Active Internet Connection

To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, select Built-In Ethernet, and click Advanced.
To change the settings for a wireless connection, select Airport, and click Advanced.

Taadaaa! and youre Done! :)

Switching back to your old DNS settings

If you had not previously configured any customized DNS servers, to switch back to your old settings, in the window in which you specified the Google IP addresses, select the option to enable obtaining DNS server addresses automatically, and/or delete the Google IP addresses. This will revert your settings to using your ISP's default servers.
If you need to manually specify any addresses, use the procedures above to specify the old IP addresses.
If necessary, restart your system.

Anwering your FAQ ,

Here are the sites I use to stream Movie & Tvshows;

http://www.movie2k.to/

~~http://megashare.info/~~
http://www.solarmovie.eu/

I recommend using megavideo to stream your movie/ tvshow as it is much faster compared to the others. Its been a few years since I've downloaded a movie. Why waste your computer space when you can always watch the movie online over and over. Hence, risk of downloading the movie file that has virus attached to it.

UPDATE: Megavideo.com has been banned and taken down. Thus, best video host would be putlocker/vidxden/vidbux.

BTW, if your internet is slow. I strongly suggest you getting Unifi if youre an impatient streamer. I havent got mine yet cause my streamyx connection is already pretty fast- i dont need to wait for my movies to take time to buff. Unfortunately, at times- I do.

This comes to a conclusion, I've Finally done with this blogpost that has been pending for months!!

*Throws confetti*

If you dint know yet, im a movie & tvshow addict. I have to have my dose of daily tvshows and the latest movies here and there when its not worth watching in the cinemas.

I hope you all benefit from this blogpost as I tried making it the simplest as possible for you guys to understand.
Help spread the word too! Let us not be restrained by the government to control our human rights to serve the net freely as we wish.

I would also appreciate feedbacks or any questions in the comment section below

Rielz 911 / September 11 Burfdae

2011-09-20T02:05:00.004+08:00

Hey lovely!

Came back from Kuching yesterday and I finally had the mojo-jojo to update my blog. Actually, i was editing pics and tried to update Rielistic911 during my stay/work in Kuching but the crappy internet speed and the lousy hotel connection made it pretty impossible. Also, I dint had much free time there .

Im trying to update as much as possible before my exams and other crap interferes. Heheh!

Since I was in the midst of my exams, I dint plan for anything. No Party - No Nada :( No alcohol too since i was still having exams and i do wanna let it be the source i cant remember anything when i study.
Just the normal dinner with the fam'. I was hardly feeling excited for 911 actually. Well, some of my friends said my party last year which i partied pretty hard, was enough to last me for 2 years- Fair enough.
So 911 2011 just was laying low.

So that 911 afternoon, i was searching on the internet for a nice restaurant with a relaxing ~~nice-background/lighting for-photo-purposes~~ ambiance. I have a few areas in mind, and i came across a restaurant called The Countess at Plaza Kelana Jaya. Its by the lakeside too. I tried calling to make a reservation but no answer. In my mind, my back up plan was San Fransisco Steak House.

Unfortunately, when we arrived. The Countess was CLOSED & "For Rent". And it was still open for business back in April. Shock to see that Sanook was closed too! Sanook was a nice place to have a nice dinnner, watch football, play some snooker upstairs and dance. Oh wells, Dad dint wanna come all the way here for nothing so he decided to eat at the (basically the only restaurant still in business) Secret of Louisiana, which was right beside.

Too bad I missed the sunset. It would've been a great view by the lake. Ofcourse, all the tables just beside the lake were occupied. Meh.

Oppppsie! No watermark here. too lazy to edit it and upload it again.

Aglio Olio spaghetti
It had that touch of spicyness which me likey!

My slightly burn lamb shoulder cooked in black pepper style.
The black pepper sauce were served separately and the steak itself was juicy enough to be eaten alone!!

I used the sauce for my fries.

Fish and Chips

Chicken chop

Pizza with bits of carrots as toppings.
Personally, it isnt my fav vege so i dint like it that much.

Dad & Mum

Bro decided to play the nerdy korean style.

I get irritated when i know my picture isnt perfect.

*hints* Necklace overturned =/

There were 3 (inclu. me) burfdae celebrations that night at Louisiana. wooot woot! i wonder which one of them had their actual burfdae on that night ( 911 ).

It was my turn-The last one for the night.

Yeap, bro was recording #thatawkwardmoment when you everyone is singing a birthday song for you.

Blow the candles and made my wish for the thing thats missing in my life.

Im still their 'Baby' alright.

White Dark Chocolate CheeseCake from Secret Recipe.
I've never tried this before and i love to try different cakes from SR every burfdae.
It was cheesy indeed but very nice! Its best to be eaten right outtve the refrigerator though :)

Took a picture with the gentlemen waiters that sang a burfdae song for me :)

It was a lovely dinner indeed. It was a lil warm outside but my table which was at the corner dint get much of the cold fan they had their machines blowing. Other than that, the food were pretty great! Prices were pretty reasonable without their fancy drinks. Btw, their food were pretty fast :)

A nice place to have a special ocassion, other the fact that it isnt under A/C. Best to start dinner at around 6PM+ when the sun is setting. Furthermore, this is a ambiance which you will not often get to experience- Dinner by the lakeside :) A different concept which I think is interesting for dinners.

Came home and had some camwhoring time with the Sis.

Wheeeee! using the Sparklers which i bought from Singapore. Actually, the purpose of buying them was having them put on my cake together with the candles. Too bad i was rushing (as usual) and i forgot to bring them along for dinner.

I decided to take advantage of my newly bought Bow and took some photos :)

yes, it does look like Lady Gaga's bow but then im Not trying to imitate her in any way. As im not a fan of an Illuminati and shes also the 'Queen' of it.

That was it for 911. I felt like it was just like any other day. Except the fact that I had a Burfdae Glow :P
I somehow felt that I looked younger this year compared to 2010. Heheh!

Here are some flashbacks on 2010's 911 burfdae celebration. I dearly miss these memories <3

P/S; Yes, If you have been reading or you know me , you would have notice i use Burfdae instead of the correct spelling Birthday. I am aware of this and its hard for me to change my habbit. Plus, Birthday is just too common. I at least want my burfdae wish to standout with the weird spelling but still have the right pronunciation too it ;)

As this year I wasnt able to personally Thank everyone for their mass burfdae wishes on my Facebook so i decided to let my Danbo have the honour of doing it :)
I do take notice who wished me and who dint ;)

If you dint know yet, My Danbo is handmade by your truly :)
Yet to buy the real thing from Japan in Dec as my christmas present. Teehee!

Stay tune to MY FACEBOOK for the full photos from my burfdae and my Danbo photography and other upcoming paper crafts :)

Friends With Benefits Movie Review

if you understand the picture above ;)

Friends With Benefits Movie Review;

♥♥♥/ 5

I'd say it was a so-so watch. If anything, i would say it reminds me of the movie No Strings Attached. Pretty much had the same plot/climax. So its kindda like watching it again but with a different cast.
One thing that attracted me to watch Friends With Benefits was the main cast- Justin Timberlake & Mila Kunis! They both looked very comfortable with each other. Almost too comfortable. ;)

Mila showed her lively optimistic character and Justin's voice that seem to 'crack' was very interesting.

Zomg! one of the best parts were the Flash Mobs! Now that you dont find it in alot of movies. Flash Mobbed in the streets of NY and in the Grand Central Station.

Similiar to movie No Strings Attached staring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman.

You'll see quite a number of scenes like this one above. Esp Mila & Justin BUTT NAKED! oh yeap ;)

Watch No Strings Attached on Megavideo Here!

The Smurfs Movie Review

2011-08-27T17:07:00.001+08:00

[from left] Clumsy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Gutsy Smurf, Brainy Smurf

A Smurf Joke;
"What do you get when you run a Cow over a Cheese?

-BLUE CHEESE!"

Just got back from GSC's TimeSq for the preview screening of The Smurfs! Wheeeee! It was so smurfy!

The Smurfs Movie Review;

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥/ 5

Enjoyed myself like a little kid in the cinema. There was humour throughout the movie- everyone had a great laugh. This is also a very family oriented movie- young kids to senior adults would enjoy it too! It also had a great value in it- never underestimate someone or not trust/believe in them when they're your loved ones.

On the other hand, when youre in the working world, you should do things that makes you who you are, not just because it pleases the person up there- your boss. (Im not saying not to please your boss) But just remember not to lose yourself in your work and do things that doesnt make you feel happy doing your job.

A person at any age would understand the story and could probably relate to it.

My throat felt a little lumpy at parts but I was too in the jolly mood to tear. You'll find a few touchy parts there. The main smurfs, which are Papa Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Smurfette, Gutsy Smurf, Brainy Smurf all had their own differences but they worked together well as a family.

I honestly L O V E every one of the smurf. Each smurf had their fair amount of spotlight. Thats what i loved most about it.

Its definitely a must smurf! Hurry and smurf them in the cinemas when its official release on the 1st of September!

Check out the trailer if you havent.

Oh yeah! Dont be so quick to leave the cinema hall. Be sure to be still in your seats even when the Director's name pops up at the end. Stay until the Cast List- thats where it Ends :)

If you dint know, Kary Perry was the voice of Smurfette ;)

Doesnt she look smurfalicious?
She also sneakily smurfed aloud "I Kissed a Smurf and I liked It" in the movie.

Katy tweeted this picture of her nails that she had done (i suppose for the premier). So adorable!

Sexy Sofia Vergara from tvshow Modern Family played a part in this as the mean workaholic boss.

Clumsy, oh, wasnt he a real clumsy one. Such a cutie though!

Azrael the cat would've won the Best Expression Award if they had one. Even smarter than his master- Gargamel.

The Smurf's cast and voices.

Btw, how ironic that ~~Barney Stinson~~ Neil Patrick Harris's character name was also Patrick.
Also note that the little blue creatures have only 4 fingers!

I had a smurfy time with bro too! I think after this, ill use smurf in my vocab. Heheh!
Oh yeah, the movie was Smurftastic!

Smurf you next time!

Amante: Aromatherapy

2011-08-25T18:38:00.000+08:00

A couple weeks back, I went for the Aromatherapy Full Body Massage at Amante- Courtesy of ilovediscounts.my .
It was my first time enjoying an aromatherapy massage. Budget for self pampering = non existent. So was getting all excited waiting for the day of my appointment.
Perfect time indeed as my body was in need of good massage as I've been staying up stressing on my books. Time to let loose and take a chill pill.

It was the first thing in the morning of the saturday, up early for my appointment at Amante's Kepong branch. Oddly enough, I somehow ended up 30mins late for my appointment and had to wait an hour till the next open slot for me as that day was packed! All their workers were all occupied :(

Well, i guess i had to learn my lesson for turning up late.

First impression when i stepped in; "wow, this place is pretty in pink "

An hour to kill- I patiently awaited flipping through the magazines. They served a warm ginger tea. I usually would reject anything thats ginger-ish (even though it might be good for the body) but after drinking a couple sips, It felt very calming.

I ended up finishing the whole cup! First time being such a good girl finishing a drink thats good for me.
Ginger are good for releasing the ~~air~~ wind inside your stomach.
In cantonese, they would say, 'Hei Fung'.

They too had a nice collection of nail polishes! These are the themed ones.

I've always been fascinated by the beautiful peacock feathers.
I'll do a veryy nice inspired makeup look on it one day...one day....

One hour had passed before I even realized. Taken upstairs where the massage rooms are.

A very cosy waiting room!
I seriously adore the wallpaper!

My full body aromatherapy massage was 1½ hour.
My masseuse was a chinese lady that came from China. It was real shame that I couldnt speak very well in mandarin. (75% Banana here). So i dint do much talking.

Lights dimmed. Lay unclothed on the massage bed. First, a warm up massage on my back. Following it, was the aromatherapy oil accompanying the massage with just the right amount of pressure. It scent of the oil was pretty neutral. Nothing too fragranced. I guess there is a little hint of herbs to it, but nothing too strong to be worried about :)

The music, fading in the background, made it felt like I was at the ocean, with the sound of waves overlapping- what a relaxing atmosphere. Slowly drifting into another dimension, I reminded myself to stay awake, I wasnt going to miss anything by falling asleep.

A full full body massage it was- from the tip of my hair roots to my feet. Massage was back as well as the front. Even I had my face lightly massaged. And ofcourse, to your preference would you prefer your boobs massaged. Dint mind one bit and let her go ahead.
From the 'Questions' from My Forspring, I know you guys jehles ;)

Truly a pampering afternoon.
Went home and straightaway hit the sheets. Got a nice 4-5 hour long nap. Now, that shows my blood was circulating well after the massage :)

Now, i've tried aromatherapy. Next, I would love to try the Hot Stone massage thingie. It looks......cool. Heheh!

Their services range from Manicure,Pedicure, Body Treatment Massage, BraYoga Exercise Breast Treatment, Eyelash, Hair Removal Waxing, Facial & Spa.

A Collection To Begin With

2011-08-21T18:38:00.001+08:00

Such joy, such joy...Woke up on Friday's evening to Mum's good news- she'll be doing some book shopping! At least this time she made the right decision by bring me along ;)
Mum wanted to hit Times Bookstore at the nearby Hartamas Shopping Centre but in doubt of wide variation of books there, I persuaded Mum to go to 1U's MPH Bookstore.

Now, its officially out there that I Love Books & I Love Reading. *~~Nerd~~ Bookworm face*

I remember sticking the "I LOVE BOOKS" sticker on my top one day and my friends that passed were pointing to my sticker saying "Cyeah right you like books". They thought was I was being sarcastic by wearing the sticker around. And so i just played along....

Like a happy child I was in a candy shop, I couldnt figure out which books I wanted to get. Too bad this time, Mum had a limit. If it wasnt for mum's poor decision in bring my sis to buy books earlier, I would have gotten the full set/collection of the books that I've been on my book wishlist and I've been meaning to read.

So there, I carefully chose 5 books which they all have their own sequels. Breaking Dawn and Fallen had already been on my wishlist. Every book except Breaking Dawn is the Beginning to its sequel.

Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber.

She was well known for her Teenage Mermaid book which I had read it when I was probably around 11 years of age. I remember falling in love with Teenage Mermaid and I knew i had to get her next series of books!

This, Claire De Lune. Havent heard of it nor seen any of my friends reading it.
To be honest, the book cover itself attracted me. And the book summary at the back of the book was good enough to make me put it in my shopping cart.

You'll probably find the name Claire De Lune familiar from the song from Twilight & the name of the boat from the movie Aquamarine.

Fallen
I was urged to buy Passion as it was the latest book of the sequel and MPH had quite a few Signed Copies for Sale (same price as the non-signed copies). If you are an avid book reader, you would've known that Lauren Kate, the author of the Fallen series was recently in Kuala Lumpur to promote her latest book; Passion.

Breaking Dawn.
nuff said ♥

Still am ashamed for still being only halfway at Eclipse! :(
I wanted to read Breaking Dawn before the movie releases. But guess thats impossible with my hectic schedule and exams =/

I hope these will keep me occupied just in time before Mum's next book shopping :)

I intend to get the whole set of all these books!

Btw, if you're buying books from MPH. Pls do check for flaws. I repeat! Their books arent all perfect eventhough it seems to be nicely wrapped.
Check the side pages if its even, Check the name if the printing was smudge etc.
It happen to be and I as a pretty picky person, took it back for an exchange! Hmph~

I guess you notice from the selections of books I've made, are all Romance/Horror and thats the only section where you'll usually find me in a bookstore.. Teehee!

I like a book that is thrilling and that makes me just wanna continue flipping to the next page to find out more.

And this were the girly girl books that sis had bought earlier. None were my likings. She had the leisure of stacking piles of books in mum's shopping cart! :(
Yes, im jehles. Cause you can hardly find sis reading a book, as that'll be quite a joke.
But I might just read a couple of them just cause of the nice book cover. Heheh!

I do unintentionally tend to judge a book by its cover- Everyone does, dont they? =/

Oh well, now with my new books, I have gotten in the mojo to start reading back. Cant wait to unwrapped them and read em happily! :)
So looking forward for the holidays! I can go back to my ol' days of sitting under the morning sunlight, enjoying its warmth and absorbing the VitaminDs while reading my book :)

Btw, if you know a good Romance-Horror books that are somewhat similar to these books I have, I'd appreciate it alot if you could recommend me ! :)

Something Borrowed Movie Review

2011-08-12T22:01:00.001+08:00

*Happy Tears* Its been quite awhile since i've watched a chick flick and this was one hell of a chick flick alright. Since my plans was rescheduled to tomorrow, I decided to watch a movie this evening..

I know it was screening in the cinemas 3months ago but Im just not really the type that goes to cinema to watch chick flicks.

I usually take advantage of the cinema's great sound system for Action packed/ Thrillers yo!

My first impression watching the Trailer was that, 80% I'll be sure to like/enjoy the movie. Little did I know it wasnt just a Disney fairytale happy ending chick flick. (Not saying the movie dint have a happy ending or it did)

Something Borrowed Movie Review;

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5

Certainly exceeded my expectations. Drama, Romance, Comedy- All in 1! Another great chick flick to stay in with your girls accompanied by marsh mellows dipped in hot chocolate. Im not saying it should only be for girls but guys that enjoys watching it with their girlfriend- why not? :)

The movie had just the right dose of humour here and there. The running time just about 2 Hours was fairly used; not to draggy nor too fast/short. My heart sank a few times (even felt like it was broken into pieces), tears rolled down my face cause it was that good. I could feel and (I guess) understood it in a way.

The plot will take you thru a roller coaster ride of emotions before its The End ;)

Friendship, Bestfriendship and Relationship- Which would you choose?

Best friends since college mates.
Btw, im Loving Kate Hudson more and more. Now, one of my fav actress :)
i wasnt a huge fan of Kate last time

Reminiscing of the good ol' days I had with my bestie, JL since '02 :)

For those who watching TheCW TV shows, You'll recognize that this is Auggie from Melrose Place (LOVE that tvshow). He looks wayy cuter here, and thats maybe he is smiling so much in this role! <3

This is actually one of my fav cast/character in the movie. He is a little understated. He is the 'sweet guy'.

Relationships are complicated or People are the ones that are complicated?

Watch Something Borrowed here. Remember to click at the side for Full Screen mode :)

Heres a couple of songs from the movie soundtrack that I like. After watching the movie, you may like them too;

I have my own dealing with L O V E. Complicated was usually used to describe it.
Love, simply a 4 letter word but to me, it is such a strong word.
But I'll be patient till my Prince 'Eric' comes. *wink wink*

Harry Potter 7: Deathly Hallows Part 2 Movie Premier

2011-08-10T17:43:00.000+08:00

this post has been pending since the night of the premier (11 July) and I decided to finish the rest of it and post it once and for all.

Firstly, I would like to thank TGV Cinemas for the premier passes! Brought along Shannen babe, Bro and his date- Claudia.
It was such a chaos at TGV Sunway yesterday. It was packed with Harry Potter fans- well, majority. And others that were there awaiting for the Harry Potter screening halls to be ready for seatings . Quite a number of HP fans were all dressed up for the premier- scars on their foreheads, black long robes/ trench coats, Gryffindor's coloured tie, etc etc..

I strongly suggest for those to watch the Part 1 before watching the Part 2 because you would be pretty much be like a deer in the headlights if you dont. So Part 1 may be lacking all the action paction (just wanted it to rhyme), but Part 2 is where its at! Part 1 allows you to understand the story and what its getting at. That resulted in the disapointment when there was hardly any Avada Kadavra flying outtve wands to kill people. So you Must watch Part 2 for the cherry on top!

Harry Potter 7; Deathly Hallows -PART 2 Movie Review

♥♥♥♥♥/5

An epic finale it was. The Part 2 of the movie started with showing a tombstone of *ahem* that died in Part 1. It flashed back a little on what happened at Part 1 so you wouldnt get all blur. Some of the scenes were changed from the book but they still kept most of the important parts.
There was also some intense seat grabbing throughout the movie. This time round, the 'feel' for the movie was rather different, It somehow felt more raw maybe it was because of the unexpected climax. *daa daa da dahhh~ *
With it ending, I couldnt help myself but to tear like i did in Part 1 too. It really hit my emotions.
Finally, the "After >10 years" part, it was weird. They could have made Ron, Hermione & Harry looked much better if they made goblins that looks so convincingly real.
Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows went out in a big bang! and the BEST, i'd say!

Did i also mention that I finally notice, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) looking so gorgeous throughout the whole of HP7?
The truth lies in the finale.
It is definitely worth the watch while its showing in the cinemas. Come on, its the Last & Final installment- YOU HAVE TO!

Heres some photos from the premier screening at TGV Sunway Pyramid;

Harry Potter fans had sticky notes stuck on the board as their entry for a contest.

And you got it! Face Painting!

the crowd started to disperse as it the premier was about to Start!

Had a blast watching the premier with the avid HP fan, Shannen! Couldnt thank her enough as I would nudge her whenever im blur about whatever is going on in the movie; Dint read the book. We watched Part 1 together in a group too. Heee :)
