Hello!

I've been pretty busy ever since my last post. So, I'm gonna write a summary of what's been happening.

1) Simple Valentine's Day 

Me and koibito didn't have a big do for Valentine's Day. It was just a normal Friday, literally. We ate at Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks for dinner and it was AWESOME! The food was really yummy! Another awesome thing is that - we didn't have to queue for a seat.

The Awesome Happy Box Set.

I saw so many couples; holding gifts, flowers and queuing up for a nice dinner. Initially, I wanted to book a seat at The Good Batch or Delicious, but I thought, meh, screw it. The prices were all hiked up and I can't guarantee the tastiness of the food. 

After that, we watch Lego Movie. It was entertaining, cute and lame. Koibito loved it because he used to play Lego when he was a kid. As for me, I played Play-Doh lol. I found the movie alright.

That's Play-Doh - ultimate kid fun.

2) Interviews

After Valentine's Day, I've been pretty busy with attending interviews. I had 3 interviews in 3 days. One interview per day. I have attended 6 interviews in total and I learned a lot from it. Its good to attend more interviews because each interviewer is different and you get to see their perspective on things. I'm not a pro or anything, just sharing my experience :)

There are some scary interviewers too, so, prepare yourself. Lol.

3) Wisdom tooth pain

My wisdom tooth started hurting badly since Monday right until today. It caused my other teeth to hurt and I even got a headache. Also, I can't chew properly, so, solid/hard food is out of the question. The pain has also reduced my appetite but people still give me a lot of food to eat so my secret plan to lose weight has failed. Lol.

An X-Ray of my tooth.

I am gonna get my wisdom tooth extracted this coming Monday! ><

4) Shingeki no Kyojin! (Attack on Titan)

I've heard from many people about this anime but I was reluctant to watch it before. I was doubtful, skeptical, and my thoughts were; "How good is good?" and "Can it level up with Naruto?". One day I decided to give it a go and.............

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. NO EXCUSES. Lol.

Its such a good anime and the plot is really interesting. In some ways, it can level up with Naruto. What I like about Shingeki no Kyojin's anime is that, they don't waste time with fillers and historical past that only should be mentioned once. Naruto has tons of fillers and flashbacks, which can get boring after a while. The story for Naruto is really good now though. Lol.

And..........my favourite character from Attack on Titan is;

Okay there's two people here. Which one do you think it is? 

Answer: Captain Levi of course! xD (There was no better image of him so I had to use this)

I finished all 25 episodes in 3 days. Currently, I started watching Hunter X Hunter :)

5) I AM GOING TO JAPAN

I am so excited! I have always dreamed of going to Japan! I couldn't go previously because my parents were super paranoid about the radiation, which is true of course - better to take precaution! But! My mum had a change of heart and thought and she allowed me to go! :D

I'll be going to Tokyo with my brother and will be bunking with my cousin who works there. I am so excited that I researched hard on where I would visit and what I would do in Tokyo - I even made my own itinerary. Tour guide much lol.

I just hope it won't be too cold nor snowing T^T

That pretty much sums up what's been happening in my life.

Topic change.

Here's a mega haul lol.

 A) Biore Bright Face Milk SPF 50 PA+++

I am a loyal user of Biore Sunblock/Suncreen. Their products are non sticky and non oily - I love it. I have been using Biore for years now and I'm skeptical to use other brands on my face. Also, Biore has a very wide range of Sunblock. I shall try them all! *evil laughs*

Outlet: Watsons, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, or any other Pharmacy

Price : RM20.90 (sale at Guardian)

B) Johnson's Baby Lotion Milk + Rice (500ML)

Let me introduce to you, Johnson's Baby Lotion latest product - Milk + Rice! Previously it was only milk. Rice sounds really Asian somehow lol. This is another product that I am loyal to; lotion and bath wash. The scent is heavenly! If you love milk and just want to drown yourself in it, this is suitable for you lol. 

Don't assume that this baby lotion is just meant for babies - your whole family can use it! :)

Outlet: Watsons, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, and any other Pharmacy

Price : RM16.90 (sale at Mydin)

 C) KAPS Natural Insect Repellent

Okay, I didn't buy this for myself - koibito's mum did. At one point, the weather was soooooooo hot and dry that it made all these darn mosquitoes so active. I can't sleep in peace at night if I don't kill AT LEAST 4 BLOODY MOSQUITOES everday. I got loads of bites and it was really irritating. If you experience the same situation as me, get some repellent. It saved my life.

Also, spray your room or anywhere in your house with mosquito spray to let them die!

Outlet: Watsons, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, and any other Pharmacy

D) Nivea Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25 PA ++ (300ML)

An awesome body serum that also has SPF. Perfect during day time since the weather is really hot these days. It also has a refreshing scent and non sticky texture!

Outlet: Watsons, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, and any other Pharmacy

Price : RM16.90 (sale at Guardian)

E) Hada Labo Deep Clean & Blemish Control Face Wash (100G)

My skin has been really bad for the past 2 weeks and I felt that my previous cleanser didn't help at all. Hence, I bought a new cleanser. What a perfect excuse lol. 

I don't know if I see any major improvements but I do know it is helping bit by bit :) This product has a very foamy texture and also, fragrant free! Perfect for those with sensitive skin :)

Outlet: Watsons, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, and any other Pharmacy

Price : RM20.90 (sale at Watsons)

F) Nivea Body Lotion In Shower Skin Conditioner - Normal Skin

This is such an awesome invention! Perfect for lazy people like me xD Just shower like how you usually do, and after you have washed off your body wash/soap, apply this lotion like how you would apply. Rub it against your skin or massage, however you like it. Rinse it off and you're done!

You do not need to apply body lotion again after this. Its such a convenient product :D

Outlet: Watsons, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, and any other Pharmacy
Price : RM11.90 (sale at Guardian)

Bought myself a fake purse lol. 

And some hair masks as well.

Moving on to clothes;

I've been experimenting with some Japanese fashion, and the perfect place to find Japanese fashion clothing at a cheap price is at Sungai Wang and Times Square. They are much much cheaper than other retail stores and they're the exact design. Look out for black tags with the words; Tokyo Trend.

Note: Not every piece of clothing shown below are from Sungai Wang or Times Square

Most of them are knitted sweaters - preparing for my Tokyo Trip lol. I still have some winter clothing from my time in Melbourne. Will mix them up :P

I know this post is rather lengthy but you have now reached the end of this post! :P

Xoxo

September 2013 Haul

Hey Hey!

This is yet another haul for the month of September :)

Recently, I've been into face care products and face masks. I have my sister to thank/blame. Lol.

And right now, Sasa is having a lot of sales going on. I bought a lot ><

These are the body lotions that I'm using currently. Since I came back to Malaysia, I've been paranoid with the sun (I didn't have much worries in Melbourne's winter), therefore I told myself I needed to get a lotion with sun protection. And since the Nivea UV Whitening Serum came out not too long ago, I thought I'd give it a try.

I like the texture as it is gel based. I really dislike lotions that are too creamy. Also, the scent it light and decent. Not too sun block-ish. I know that its a whitening product but I'm not too concerned about that.

The next lotion (on the right), is the Enchanteur Body Lotion in Beautiful. I've never tried this lotion before this. It is also a gel based lotion and yes I love that. Besides that, it is also a perfume body lotion. I smell so good every time xD But sometimes the scent can become suffocating ><

Me and my sister bought a new watch as well. The exact same watch lol.

By the way, here's my accessories collection hehe.

I've been told it looks like a shop lol.

Moving on to face masks now.

I must say, face masks packaging are becoming cuter and cuter! They make buy them for the wrong reasons! ><

These are the new face masks that I bought. I had a few more but I've worn them already. 

My Beauty Diary Honey Strawberry Mask (left), and Strawberry Milk Mask (right). Current promotion is buy one, second mask 50% off, at Guardian Pharmacy.

My Scheming; Deep Sea Water + Ice Age Water Extract Moisturizing Silk Mask

I fell in love with the packaging at first sight lol. Got it from Watsons for RM6.90.

Watsons promotion; buy one, 50% of the next mask. Good deal eh? ;)

Beauty Mate - Anti Blemish Repairing Mask at 2 for RM 8.90, at Guardian Pharmacy. I look forward to try this face mask. The sales girl recommended this to me as I have a lot of blemishes. She told me many customers come back just for this lol. I hope she's right.

This, on the other hand is an eye mask. What I can say about this eye mask is that, its not your typical eye mask. It has a gel coat on it which allows it to stick to your skin (not in a harsh way). It is very soft and jelly-like. I've only tried it once and I'm not sure if I see any difference ><

This is my first product from ZA, Future Defense Wrinkle Minimizer. I got it at a very cheap price; RM13 from Guardian (I think they're having sale now). I've yet to try it out once my current eye roll finishes :) 

Skinlite Cooling Cucumber Pads from Sasa at RM 8.90. I bought this product before many years ago. I didn't think I'd buy it again. But now as I grow older, I realise that my eyes are beginning to have tiny wrinkles, eye bags and dark eye circles. So, taking early precaution will prevent future aging :) You can put the cucumber pads on your face as well.

Loreal Hydra Fresh Aqua Essence 50ML from Sasa at RM 14.80. This is my first Loreal product! I really like get based products and its so happened that this is a gel based essence. Hehe. I have not tried it yet but I look forward to it :)

Another product that I have started using (not shown in the picture above); is the Hadanomy Collagen Lotion, from Sasa at RM23.90 (half price).

I started using this product a few weeks ago and I like it :) This product is not a typical lotion. It has a jelly/gel texture and it is very easy to apply! It spreads very easily and 2 drops are more than enough for your entire face. My face feels very hydrated and supple after applying. The best thing is that, I do not get any break outs from it :) Awesome! :D I would like to get the whole set but its too expensive :( So I'll just stick with this for now.

And another product I bought from Sasa is the Grape Anti Aging Hand Cream, for RM6.90. 

After using it a few times, I can say that, I regret buying this. The scent doesn't seem that nice after a while and the texture is awful. After I apply on my hands, my hands feel oily. And when its finally absorbed, my hands feel very dry. I don't know if I'm making any sense here but yes, this is one item I regret buying :(

Lastly, this is my favourite product of the moment.

The Konjac Face Sponge from Sasa, at RM6.45 (half price). It comes in several types; Charcoal, Tomato, Aloe Vera, Rose and Cucumber.

I've tried the Charcoal Sponge for the first time and I love it! I came back to buy 3 more (shown below) lol.

From left to right; Charcoal Sponge, Tomato Sponge, Cucumber Sponge

It has a string that allows you to hang after using. I find it so convenient hehe.

So how do you use it? What I do is that, I wash my face with my cleanser, and while the cleanser is still on your face, take the sponge (wash is with water first), and start scrubbing with circular motion. It has a very soft and gentle feel and that's why I love it. It's not harsh like some sponges I know. My face feels very soft and smooth after scrubbing.  Its gentle enough for you to use it everyday :)

Also, did you know that Daiso has a Hello Kitty Section? :D

I couldn't resist. I had to get this xD

Ma Cherie Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner by Shiseido for RM12.88, at Guardian Pharmacy.

This was something I wanted to try so badly. It was released in Malaysia not too long ago. And I know it was out in Singapore for a long time already T^T

I bought the travelling size pack because the rest are just too expensive! >< But I enjoy using this product :) My hair smells like Guava and fruits. Ahh. Nice. Hehe.

My haul has come to an end now. I hope you enjoy reading this post :)

Don't mind me. I was testing different types of stamps on my photos. Lol.

Till then! TTFN.
