- Momma's cooking.
We had Luk Mei Soup, Watermelon Soup, Fried Spaghetti, Cheesecake, Pink Guavas, Fried Rice, Stuffed Prawns. All that over the weekend. Honestly I think Momma is a wonder-woman. Had no idea how she churned those up in several blinks.

- New Furnitures
We went browsing again. We really liked the second shop we browsed - the retro L-shaped couch looks cool and mod. But - OVERPRICED. A few more shops and tada~!
Came back with new ultra comfy beige coloured 1+2+3 seaters, a TV cabinet, and a dining set! :D Super fun arranging them all afternoon, with Darling BF's help (EBA Deposit!!)

I said goodbye to my long time Papa Bear though :(
Has been 2x years.. and it has became so dusty it could clog up my nostrils in a jiffy.
So long sweetie~!

- Absolutely Fantastic Looking Skin
Giving credit again to momma. The night before she showed me a serum she recently bought, and she slathered a generous amount on my face hehehhe. A quick massage, then I was off to bed (before 12!)Slept like a baby for about 9 solid hours.

The next morning, momma knocked on my door, and she went.. "Whoa.. your skin looks so good! So moisturized" That statement made me so awake - "Huh? Really.. lemme see lemme see, this is so making my day!" Rushed to the mirror, true enough, my heart jumped in joy lol. Looked so plumped up and glowy. Awww and momma went off to pour me a small bottle of the serum for me to take home.... isn't she a gem? :)

I leave you with a Lotus Triangle Mandala (from rainbowcrystal.com)
Wish you a Blissful Week ahead :)



The Lotus Triangle Mandala represents the balance between Love, Life, and Spirit. In this piece a lotus blossom gives birth to a beveled heart, while being cradled by a crescent moon and framed by an alter of supporting triangles.

Whats for Dinner..?

Lazy lazy Sunday, don't feel like cooking up a storm.
Waiting patiently for my White Fungus with Rock Sugar thong sui.. mmmm I like it really soft and gel-like. Coz that's how my skin benefits from the collagen.

Simple and easy to make... not to mention super duper way cheaper than bird's nest.
Though I must say, it taste yummy if you add some bird's nest into it! :)

In the meantime, I'd better get to a quick yoga practice before finishing some tuna sandwich. Sundays like this.. especially after shopping the day before, is kinda slow and relaxing.. nice to calm the soul.

Now lets see how can I perfect my Downward Dog...

... Its the First Day..
... of the long awaited...
... Malaysia Mega Sales!!
... S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G!!!

It was also a day I really work my calves and arms muscles. Spent 7 hours at the mall, and came back pretty happy (though I'm trying to ignore the guilt).

Watson's is having sales, not too sure if its storewide 15% off; I guess not since I barely have time to explore the whole store. Rimmel is on 15% disc.. and because I was there early in the morning, I get to test all the colours on shelves before deciding to walk away with 3 Mirror Shine Lip Glosses (Startlet, Love Struck,Try Me) and Renew & Lift Brightening Powder with Mineral.

Mandom Cleansing Express is also on sale, its marked down to $29.66 (from $34.90)
I have not finished my current Cleansing Express Sebum (green), nevertheless I love this product so this time I grabbed Cleansing Express Moist (pink).

Next off to The Faceshop. I spotted some new products (maybe not that new, I dunno; my last visit to The Faceshop was.. last year?)

Pure Water Facial Mist, in 3 variants:
- Jeju Flower
- Jeju Marine
- Jeju Orange

Its suppose to quench thirsty skin, revitalise and improve circulation. Retails at $18.90. I'll put in into my next shopping list. Are they any good?

I also want Home Aesthetic Smooth Seaweed Pack, because it tightens pores.
And then theres the new Shimmering BB Cream, but I couldn't find any reviews on it.
I suppose BB Creams from TFC isn't that popular compare to Skinfood or Etude. *shrugs*

The main reason I din wanna buy anything, apart from I'm not exactly filthy rich - was the annoying SA! Every item me and my friends touched - he needs to explain and yak and yak and yak. Despite telling him I just want to browse, he even poked at a face pack I was holding telling me the functions etc. Hello!! I can read...!!! *steam*

After that blardy irritating experience, seeing "up to 50% disc" from Etude was a complete change of mood. Skincare is on 30%, cosmetics 20%, accessories 40%, and only the brow pack and lip gloss (or something I dun remember) is on 50%.

SLEEPING PACKS *huge grins* The ones retailing at $40.90 is now about $28.
*grab grab grab* Just barely 2 weekends ago I was drooling so itching to buy. Darling BF even offered to buy them for me. But thank goodness I didn't let him... :D

Magic Crystal Pack Peeling - I was undecided between this one and the one in a bottle. I do prefer the bottle (its pretty) but its more for dry skin.. and I din wanna end up like a greased roti canai pan. Its also cheaper ($46.90 - $32.85) so I'm happy.

Eye Lash Serum ($19.90 - $15.95)Never come across anything like this before.. so grabbed that too.

Oblique Shading Brush - its soft and I like the feel of it.

I guess there are a couple more things that I want, but I don't wanna sob when I see the CC Bill.. so enough for now.. or mebbe another peek in about 2 weeks?
Not sure when will the sale end though.

My last stop was at Guardian (the great 42nd Anniversary sale).
Where my $$ went to:

- 2x Brands Prune Essence @ $27.88 (8 bottles) / each
- Berry Shower Cream 500ml (42% off)$6.32
- Cocoa Butter & Vanilla Hand Cream 350ml (42% off) $5.74
- Garnier Aqua Defense Essence (looks so promising) $19.90 with GWP
- Masks ( Pomegranate, Green Tea, and Red Wine) $4.88 each. Buy 4 free 2.
- Garnier Light 24H Program $21.48

Haven't tried any of those above except for the hand cream. Absolutely love it, and will review it in another blog. :)

Marvelous Monday!


Tra la la.. la la la... ding dong tra la la....

Awww mannnn I'm feelin so good right now. While enjoying my absolutely healthy bfast smoothie, the postman came with a package for me!! :)

Beauty products! Oh, which girl don't twirl at that.
I've got one whole box full of facial masks (from Aus and Taiwan)(and yes, I'm almost broke)and I just know how I'm gonna spend my whole afternoon today - taking pics of course! Those beautiful packagings.... wondering if it'll break my heart ripping off those packagings. Hmmmm.. shall see tonite, eh?

~ I'm marvelous, I'm marvelous, its marvelous... aww aww aww..~

I love shopping. I believe I was born to shop. I dream of shopping most of my waking hours. If something catches my eyes, the next thing ya know, I'll be Googling it and then drooling over it. Crave and crave and crave till I go home with it. Then GUILT seeps in... ouch!!!

I went to Borders today. My significant other did in on purpose! :P
So tempting me into it. I end up buying a few items:

- Cosmopolitan July 09 (UK Edition) -> my staple read hehe.
- Better Homes & Garden: Smoothies -> for the health freak in me.
- The Nearly Weds, by Jane Costello -> I love the cover, chick lit-ish.
- 10 Reasons Not To Fall in Love, by Linda Green -> the title was the culprit. I'm a sucker for lovey dovey reads.

See if I'm hardworking enuf to upload those pics.. Hehe may take a while though.
Planning to read tomorrow (yay! no work on a Monday!) if I don't end up doing imaginative house chores.

Ok, I'm off now to be with my Cosmo!

Laters!

Coffee, Anyone?

I was never a fan of coffee. The mere whiff of coffee could easily gives me headache.
I'd feel wuzzy and heavy headed. And if at work, I'd be silently cursing the poor soul who drinks it. (Uhh no offence; but when I feel hammered I can't help turning into a mean monster).

Just recently I've been dipping my feet into the Coffee World.. I'd take small sips here and there, and found myself feeling okay. Also, blame my aging body.. I now need at least 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. Or the next day I'll be begging to go home 5 mins after I sat my butt down in the office.

And guess what? I had black coffee for bfast this morning. DB was giving me the "huh?" look... bitter yes. But I was mentally hoping my black cuppa would do me some good.. say..:

- Burn Calories: If coffee is consumed on an empty stomach first thing in the morning before a workout, it can boost endurance and prolong fatigue, which aids in fat loss. (REALLY?!?)

- It was said that drinking coffee regularly can also help prevent some forms of diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, liver and colon cancers.

- Coffee can prevent constipation (oh really now...)It is a powerful stimulant for peristalsis.

So enough said; I proceeded to buy myself 50 packs of black coffee, hahahha.
Dear God, pls don't turn me into a coffee addict... :)
