A New Hobby: MINECRAFT

2012-01-12T23:37:00.001+08:00

OMG.. it has been so long since I post on the blog but who's keeping score right? Anyway, I just want to share a new hobby of mine. I donno if playing games counts as a hobby but I'm going to called it a hobby anyway! Live with it! =P

As you can tell from the title my new hobby is playing Minecraft. Never herd of it? Google!
The reason that I started playing Minecraft is because the video below,

but that just not it. It's the story behind the making of it. If you want to understand the whole picture you just need to watched this guy TheSyndicateProject on Youtube and follow he's Mincraft Project Series. He's an awesome game commentator (in my opinion of course) The first reason why I started playing Minecraft. It's just amazing what these people can do. How creative they are. Not in a million years that I am able to build anything close to what they have done. To all creative people out there, I SALUTE YOU!

Jabber: Go Man United!

2011-05-23T00:29:00.003+08:00

Wanna blog about something but got home late. Feeling tired.. but been neglecting my blog for quite awhile now. Thought I should just write something I guess. Had a wonderful time today. Went out all day with Mr. BF (^_^). Thanks dear for another great day! I love you.

Now at home watching Man United winning the cup. Not a very lively game at the moment. Blackpool is winning (2-1). DAMN! Hope MAN U can turn this game around. Even thought the cup is practically theirs already. Still want them to end it with a BANG! Fans are cheering like crazy now. C'mon la... your playing at Old Trafford for god sake!.

I spoke to soon. Finally an equalizer (2-2). They can win this. They should! I should go watched the game now (before I bore you ladies with more ball talk =P). Wanna go celebrate. Hehe.. Happy day (^_^)

UPDATE: MAN UNITED won 4-2!!! Great ending for a great season (^o^)

MAC Customizable Palette

2011-05-12T23:33:00.000+08:00

If you can't beat them, join them! I think this is what MAC is doing. Just as INGLOT has their Freedom System now you can also do the same with MAC colours. MAC is giving their customer the freedom to make their own palette online.

You can choose to build your own 4 pan eye palette, 15 pan eye palette and 6 pan blush palette.

Just as simple as drag and drop the colour of your choice to your desired palette. Not sure if this offer will be available in-store in Malaysia since the Eye shadow/Pro palette refill pan isn't available here but if it is, it will be awesome since it will save us from the hassle of depotting the shadows. Other than that, building our own MAC palette isn't really a new thing since its already been done ages ago. Meh.. =/

Food: Red Chicken

2011-05-07T16:32:00.001+08:00

Today's lunch

Cooked Ayam Masak Merah today and it turns out perfect, just the way I wanted it. Prefer it to be a bit more spicy in terms of taste but I guess the dried chilli I used wasn't those super hot ones but all and all still so proud of myself (if you don't give credit to yourself, who will? hehehe..) So happy on how they turn out that I took a few snaps.

Flooded in grease

After grease reduction process =P

Owh.. and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all mothers around the world. Without you, its impossible for the world to go round (^x^)

Inglot @ Sunway Pyramid, OPENING SOON!

2011-05-03T17:28:00.002+08:00

Inglot is opening their store soon at Sunway Pyramid! Anyone else knows about this? It came as a shock for me (OoO) Never imagine that they will be coming here this soon. I've just found out today while randomly browsing the internet (thanks to Nicole's Mirror). First SEPHORA now Inglot. This is so exciting! Finally all the good stuff is accessible in Malaysia (^o^)

If you never heard of Inglot. It is a cosmetic company base in Poland. They have been climbing up the popularity ladder since their makeup products is showcase at trade shows such as IMATS and are raved by YouTube beauty community. Their eyehadows are said to be comparable to MAC if not better. They are also popular for their Freedom System where you can build your own palette for face, eye, eye brow and lips products.

16697 Poppy for me!

2011-04-30T22:45:00.001+08:00

Finally got myself a Coach Tote. Yeay!!! Been wanting to get one since the first Poppy collection came out. Finally got my first Coach. Well my second one actually, I already got a Coach wristlet a couple of years ago but that was kinda small to count right? =P Love my new baby so mch!!!

#16697 Poppy Dream C Glam Tote

Ordered it online at PrettyDeal and got it at a really good price. They carry various highend brands. You can get it ready stock or on spree. I was supposed to get mine a lot cheaper during the Coach annual sale spree but the one I want got OOS since it was a new arrival. I was so devastated (T_T) Thank God they got back in stock a few weeks after the sale ends and without hesitation I ordered it back but can only get it at a normal spree price but its still a lot cheaper then Malaysian retail price. My order arrived about a month since it was back ordered.

Authentication guaranteed

I really recommend to anyone who wants to get highend brands at bargain price to have a look at PrettyDeal. They have excellent customer service and will help you in anywhere possible. They offer free pos laju for West Malaysia and if you join their spree you get a two time instalment plan. Pay half before and another half after your order arrived in Malaysia. I'm so happy with my purchased and very satisfy with their service (^_^)

Double packaging for protection

Opened package

Food: Crispy Onion Rings

2011-04-23T15:48:00.001+08:00

I don't really love eating onions in general but I love onion rings. I don't know why maybe cause its deep fry, crispy and looks like calamari ring =P Anyway, I've been wanting to try this one recipe I found on YouTube by foodwishes. Finally got around to gather all the ingredients and since its a dull Saturday for me today why not just give it a go and it turn out awesome.

It doesn't look quite as awesome as chef John's onion rings but it taste and sound great just the same (^_^) Watched the video below from foodwishes for the recipe on how to make the crispy onion ring.

Have fun cooking!

Jabber: I miss you!

2011-04-20T18:02:00.000+08:00

Suddenly I miss blogging. I miss it so much that I feel like writing something today. I want to blog everyday but since I've started my new job I can't seem to find a spare time to do it. I don't want to do it cause I have to. I want to do it cause I want to and because of that I have neglect my blog for ages.

Should I make a promise that I'm not going to abandoned this blog ever again? No I won't cause knowing me, I know I will at some point find a reason to not blog for a long period of time but I will try to keep my blog active and post at least once a week (even though I know nobody actually read it =P). That sound reasonable right? I think it can be done since I've settle into my job by now and there's no reason for me not to do it (except for being lazy).

How's that for a warm up? It doesn't make much sense but its a start (^_^).
See you on my next post. Until then......

Sephora @ Starhill, MALAYSIA

2010-05-17T20:48:00.008+08:00

OMG!!!! (O.O) That was my expression when I first found out and I'm sure I'm like the last girl to know about this but I don't care! I'm still blogging about it!

Here's the 411... Yesterday I went to Pavillion with no particular reason. Just thought I window shop or something (since I'm dead broke). On the way there I went by Starhill since I didn't park at Pavi. Here I was, walking minding my own business and suddenly I saw it. Slap in front of Starhill. Didn't believe it at first, how can I. Its just so unbelievable... Once it finally sinked in I was floored. Totally floored when I saw this sign at the construction site.

I wanted to scream SEPHORA IN MALAYSIA!!! No way!!! Totally made my day seeing the Sephora logo there. Just the other day I was wondering why Sephora haven't open yet in Malaysia since they already open in Singapore. Sunddenly there it was. Its like my prayers have been answered (^_^) Went home, did a lil Google and this is what I found. Looks like Starhill is getting a facelift and an awesome one it is. Just look..

Isn't it just fab! I can totally imagine myself being broke there (^_^). Does this means I can finally get NARS, Urban Decay, Fresh, Buxom, Clarisonic etc. without having to join a spree? Will the price be crazy expensive? All questions can only be answered once they open and you can bet I'll be in-line on the grand opening day =)

Food: Fullhouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe

2010-04-15T12:25:00.009+08:00

Got sushi for dinner last night since Sushi King is having their RM2 per plate offer. For those who didn't know its an offer they do twice a year for their card members holder. All the colour plates on the kaiten (conveyor belt) will only cost you RM2 per plate regardless what colours but only the once you took from the kaiten. If you order it you have to pay the normal price. They will have it during the weekdays which is from Monday till Friday which is today, last day.

So I went with my sister and brother-in-law last night at Sunway Pyramid. Not as enjoyable as it usually are since they kept holding back the good stuff such as the ebi (prawns) and the sake (salmon). You can hardly see the ebiko (fish eggs) on the kaiten which in my book is super depressing. I only end up eating less than 5 plates (-_-)"

But I'm not here to ramble about my depressing night. After sushi we went for a browse and we stumble upon such a cute new cafe (well new to me since I haven't been to Pyramid for month now). The name of the cafe is Fullhouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe. Which I think is related to the Garden Lifestyle Store and Cafe if you familiar with that cafe.

Sadly I didn't bring my DSLR yesterday , boo..

The cafe is all white with a house like décor. So cute and cosy. Love this type of restaurant cause they just look so inviting. Perfect for special occasions like BDay or VDay. They called it the lifestyle store and cafe because they also sell household decoration thingies. The waiters are all wearing cute French maid costume. It is divided into three area where you have the dining area, a cute décor store and a pastry bar where they sell variety of Petit Four (small pastry). Their menu range from western cuisine, oriental cuisine and pasta dishes. The price range are from RM6 - RM30 for food and drinks and they do sell alcoholic beverages.

Since we already ate, we decided to try the Petit Four. The Petit Four cost RM2.50 per piece and RM13.00 for half a dozen. The packaging are so cute and adorable.

I'm just a sucker for cute things (^_^)

Top: Hazelnut Cake, Dark Chocolate Ganache Pastry, Cream Cheese Meringue Pastry

Bottom: Strawberry Yoghurt Cake, Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Hazelnut Pastry

So, all is not lost last night, the Petit Four totally save the day as they are heavenly delicious. Well not heavenly. Heavenly if they were bigger than bite size but they are worth the money spent. Will definitely go back for a second round and next time I'll be sure to bring along my DSLR (^_^)

Jabber: Weekend at Isetan PART I

2009-09-08T18:14:00.005+08:00

Been slacking on blogging lately thought I jabbed a little. Festive season is the best don't you think? Got sale here and there and its much more fun and less tiring if you have the money to spend which I currently are out off >.<

Since I already splurge on makeup items these past month I can only watched and help carry the shopping bags while my sister shop till I drop. Boo.. no fun =( Last weekend Isetan KLCC had a 4 day sale and it was crazy! You can get discount up to 70% off. We weren't planning on buying anything, just went there to get dinner and hangout cause we weren't aware of the sale but like any ladies who stumble on a sale it is almost impossible to ignore. We went to the perfume counter since my sister want to check out the price. She's looking for the new DKNY Be Delicious perfume, the pink one. When we got there of course there's the promoter waiting to reel us in and she succeeded. With the promise of free gift with the purchased my sister was sold. So she end up getting the perfume 10% off and a bunch of freebies such as body lotion, roll on, samples, DKNY tote bag and RM30 Isetan cash voucher. How can you say no to that? (^_^)v

At the cashier the promoter ask for our member card and suddenly panic attack. Owh no... were not an Isetan member and I thought for sure we have to pay like extra because we're not members and all of our freebies will be revoke, Noooo! but then the promoter said we can't get the RM30 cash voucher only and I was relief. That's not so bad but the promoter refuse to let us walk away with out the cash voucher. So, she ask my sister to fill in the form with a payment of RM20 for two years and she will get us our member card like right now! So, without further a due my sis fill in the form, pay the fees and the best part is you get a sub card for free and wallah.. I am now a proud member of Isetan (^_^)v

After that we went to LeSportsac and my sis snatched up a handbag and a wristlet, both are 50% off for members and 40% off for non-members. Members will always get extra 10% off, that's one of the perks of being a member =)

The day hasn't ended yet but tired of typing already, will continue on next post =P

Jabber: Hi, I Am Shizuru and I'm a Shopaholic

2009-08-27T20:29:00.004+08:00

I'm such a shopaholic. Can't seem to sit in front of the laptop without joining a spree or ordering something online. More specifically, beauty items. Looking back at all the things I ordered and asking myself, do I really need this much makeup stuff? Pause for a second or half a second and answered YES! Lol... I'm so not regretting all the stuff that I bought.

First of all, I don't have that much makeup collection to begin with. I'm just building up my collections.

Second, I used or going to use all of it, of course not all at once but everything I got is need items not want items.

Third, most the stuff that I got is on sale and to not grab the chance is like near stupidity since I'm going to get it anyways, why not get it on sale, right? =P

But just to justify some of my buying addict, I'm going on a rehab. Yes, I'm going to try and constraint myself from buying any beauty items starting next month, for two month. Therefore, there will be no more buying of makeups, makeup tools and what not from September till October. Will I survive? Am I able to constraint myself from buying? I like to think so. We shall see ^_^

Beauty Finds: MAC vs Loew Cornell

2009-08-22T15:05:00.004+08:00

I've been in searched for the Loew Cornell brushes for quite sometime now and the search has ended since I finally found them with the help of some forum friends, you know who you are ^_^ The 411 on these brushes for those who don't already know. Loew Cornell brushes are painting brush. Yes, you wont find them in any of your beauty store or counter since they are originally made for painting. They are one of the top brand as far as painting brushes are concern, very high end. So, you don't have to worry about the quality.

What so great about these brushes for all the makeup addict out there is that some of their brushes are dead end dupe for MAC brushes. You will be more informed by watching the video below.

Rate, comment and subscribe

Ok now the answer to the questions you been waiting for. Where can I get these brushes here in Malaysia? You all can extend your thanks to Craft Haven™ at One Utama for bringing these brushes here. YAY! They have many selection of Loew Cornell brushes but low in stock for most of the popular brushes. I went there last week in search of the MAC 239 dupe which is the Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8. You can't imagine how happy I am when they still have three of the brushes in stock. So, without thinking I bought two of them ^_^

They are super soft to the touch and does not poke

The Loew Cornell brushes price range from RM12 - RM40 for different type of brushes. The Maxine's Mop 3/8 retail at RM14.90. That's a lot of saving if you compare it to MAC 239 which retails at RM103 @_@ *butimstillgoingtogetitonceicanaffordit*

Below are more info on Craft Haven™, I suggest you gave them a call first to check on the brushes availability. Happy shopping ladies.
