Moisturizer

My best friend Rius, thanks so much for your support to my blog~~ muacks.. :p Got 2 moisturizer I'm using now, before applying BBcream, I used Kiehl's Sodium PCA "oil-free" moisturizer (hahaha, because i think the lancome moisturiser more expensive, so i used the cheaper Kiehl's moisturiser before applying BB cream..):

1. Kiehl's Sodium PCA "oil-free" moisturizer
  • Oil-free
  • Lightweight moisturizer
  • Will not clog pores
My own opinion on this product:
Kiehl's products are made with naturally-derived ingredients (I think this is the reason that many people like their products and it's getting more and more popular ^_^). Before bought this on my own, I had tried to use my sis's Kiehl's Sodium PCA "oil-free" moisturizer, it is really very light weight and oil free^_^ I very scared to apply moisturizer that give sticky or oily feeling on my face..somemore, will clog my pores and make acne appear on my face..blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

However, this Kiehl's Sodium PCA "oil-free" moisturizer gives no whitening or sunblock effect, it merely moisturize the skin..haha.. Therefore, now i switch to use Lancome Blanc Expert NeuroWhite X3 Ultimate Whitening Hydrating Cream. Only use this Kiehl's Sodium PCA "oil-free" moisturizer occationally :D

2. Lancome's Blanc Expert NeuroWhite X3 Ultimate Whitening Hydrating Cream

I love this one very much.. Hehe, i get this one for free from my eldest sis, she got too many skincare products, so when i told her i need buy whitening cream, she donate this to me, haha~赚到了blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com Can see its whitening effects only after few days i applied this :D During holidays, my 2nd sister also tried to use it, and she also became fairer whithin few days.. She love it too~ During holidays, instead of using her own Shiseido White Lucent, she used this one :D

This product also has good moisturizing effect^_^ Plus, lightweight, non-oily and non-sticky..will not clog pores ^_^

I'm such a lazy bug to apply skin care product on my face, this lancome hydrating cream is the only one that I'm so hardworking to apply everyday, haha~ After came back from sabah, I was tanned a bit..after applying this for a week, it does help me turn fairer, keke!

After finish using this bottle, I will save money and buy this again^_^ don't know its actual price yet..hopping not too too expensive.. x_x


Lancome Blanc Expert NeuroWhite X3 Ultimate Whitening Renewing Night Cream and Lancome Blanc Expert NeuroWhite X3 High Potency Spot Eraser

As I love this whitening cream so much, my eldest sis also gave me another 2 lancome products she no longer using..(erm..sounded like I'm a recycle bin x_x) One is Lancome Blanc Expert NeuroWhite X3 Ultimate Whitening Renewing Night Cream and another is Blanc Expert NeuroWhite X3 High Potency Spot Eraser (Don't understand why lancome gave them such a long name.. =_="). This two after i applied, i didn't find remarkably effect on my skin, hehe, still prefer the hydrating cream only :p The night cream is richer, thicker and not so "light weight" as the hydrating cream..


Shiseido White Lucent

At 1st, I wanted to save money and buy Shiseido's White Lucent products. My 2nd sis said that her friend used it and become very fair, plus shiseido's product very good in whitening effect.. But, after my 2nd sis tried to use its lucent white night cream, she found that she only become fairer a bit, then no more whitening effect afterwards..The picture below is the Shiseido White Lucent night cream my 2nd sis using.. (I'm not sure about the whitening effect of its White Lucent day cream..maybe better?)

P/S: Rius, hope you like this post, muahaha^_^

BB cream

I had heard about the name of "BB cream" since quite long ago but never learn more about it..:p Until lately my sister bought her first BB cream in Korea and told me about its benefits over the normal foundation :p

BB cream is good, y??


The difference between BBcream and other make-up applications is that it is a skincare/healing product combined with make-up.

There are many types of BB cream. Some is said to have whitening properties, some antiwrinkle, some to even out skin tone and lighten blemish scars....etc...

But all of them works as moisturizer, sunscreen, make-up base and foundation too. So thats whats great about BB cream, apart from make-up to cover up your scars...it is also said to be a healing cream....though you should still stick to your regular skin care regime.

BB cream brands

Now, there are so many brands of BB cream on the market.. They are actually with the similar functions, but different skin type might need to get the brand that suit their skin type and tone.

BRTC BB cream, Missha and Skin79 are among the BB cream with great reviews.......
Other brands includes Dr.G(Gowoonsesang), skinfood, the face shop, Etude., etc....

BB cream that I chosed after read those reviews- Dr.G Brightening Balm from Sasa

There are not many reviews about this Dr. G compared with other brands. I was considering between buying Skin 79(Pink) or Dr. G before i finally decided to buy Dr. G.

The price of Skin 79(pink)(40ml) is Rm84.50 (promotion price) and it is available at a korea shop in Bukit Indah Jusco :p

The price of Dr. G(60ml) is rm95 and it is available in Sasa.


My skin:

My skin is combination skin..and sometimes will get acne after I applied foundation, so I have to be extra careful when choosing the BB cream..scared that applying the BB cream will clog my skin x_x

I decided to buy Dr. G based on the reviews below:


A blog post by a korean girl on Dr.G:
http://junycherry.livejournal.com/12286.html

Luv_glenny:
For those with combination/oily acne skin you can try Dr.G Brightening Balm available at Sasa.
To try out the shades place a sml amount along your jawline to see whether it's the shade you want.

My sis is using that. And her face is very very oily, with lots of acne and scar. Dr. G did it all by hiding and preventing her face from being oily.
She doesn't have to use concealer anymore!

Dr. G is best use with mineral finishing powder.

After using the whole tube of Dr.G her face looks brighter and clearer than before.
She tried so many bb creams and all. At last she found 1 tat suits her.
Really happy for her. As for me I'm using Toc Toc coz my face is dry.
Hope this help.

Girlny:
Dr. G!!
provides SPF and PA, not oily, quite runny on face, above average coverage, natural with yellow undertones.


Rainbow 84:
love Dr.G 's BB Cream.. can get from Sasa...
Last time i have small pimples on my skin often, and might be because I always use foundation...
Although i know foundation is not good for problem skin, i still want to have proper coverage..
After i started Dr.G BB Cream.. my skin starts to clear and i use less and less BB Cream...
Also Im so happy my skin is clearing up !


My opinion on Skin79(pink) and Dr.G:

I had tried to applied a small amount of Skin79 (pink) and Dr.G on my hand before purchasing.
- I found that Skin79 is more oily compared with Dr.G.

- Besides, Dr.G give more natural look than Skin79.
- Dr. G has better concealing effect than Skin79.

- Althought the color of the cream of Dr.G is darker than other BB cream, but after applying on skin, it doesn't make the skin darker (for me, it make me fairer a bit, but not too white compared with Skin79) :p

After using this Dr.G BB cream continously for days during Christmas:

- I love it much~ :p Because its concealing effect is goo
d^_^ Cover my skin pores well, haha!!(except the 2 pimples mark on my face that still can be seen vaguely :p) It satisfied me because it didn't clog my skin pores after removed like the other make up foundation I used before. (I found that this BB cream is easier to removed compared with normal foundation) *Happy*blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com( p/s: I use moisturizer before applying the BB cream, it makes the BB cream spread across the whole face easier :D )

Sabah trip(5 days 4 nights) : Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Kudat

On last week(7 dec till 11 dec), I travelled to Sabah with my sis and mum~ ^_^ When we arrived at Kota Kinabalu's airport, my sis's friend (KY) came to fetched us. He was our tour guide for the whole trip blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com All the pictures in my post below are provided by my sister :D

On 7 Dec 2009:
We had lunch at "鸿记" after we arrived at Kota Kinabalu. According to KY, the "yu fu+mee"(鱼腐+面) sold in this restaurant is very very popular. After tried it, I like it so much:) The "yu fu" is made of fish meat and egg. It is very soft and fresh.. Something that I never try before :) The soup is made of sour vege and tomatos, very nice too, help stimulate appetite :) The mee there also very special and nice, thicker and nicer than normal wanton mee..haha~ The restaurant located at Damai, I highly recommend this restaurant, because the mee is really nice nice nice^_^
After having our lunch, KY brought us to the newly open shopping centre--Suria Sabah. After shopping there, we visited to Yayasan Sabah. The picture below is Yayasan Sabah. According to KY, it is one of the landmark of Sabah. Its design is quite modern although it is a very old building.
After visited Yayasan Sabah, we went to OneBorneo (very big shopping centre in Sabah). This shopping centre is almost the same with shopping centre in KL, with variety of shops :) In OneBorneo, KY bought us his favourite eggtart that only sold in Sabah. People who visit to OneBorneo can try this eggtart..crispy and with very thick egg filling..but a little bit too sweet :p
After shopping in OneBorneo and went to University Malaysia Sabah(UMS) to find my friend hui pin..it was already dinner time.. KY brought us to seafood restaurant as seafood is very cheap in Sabah. On that night, we ordered crab as one of the dish. 1kg crab cost RM18 only..really cheap.. And the seafood there very fresh. We only spend RM60++ for 4 people in that seafood restaurant :)

After dinner, we stayed at "Star Inn" located at Penampang. Erm, that Star Inn is really very lousy..There are some pub located nearby the Star Inn, so we can hear the very loud music clearly, which play until 3am...=_="

On 8 Dec 2009:
At 6am, we already set off, as that day we'll go to Sandakan (It spend 8 hours to travel to Sandakan from Kota Kinabalu by car, really far.. O_o) Before we started our journey to Sandakan, KY brought us to eat Telipok mee as breakfast at a restaurant located at a town near the Kota Kinabalu mountain. I enjoyed eating mee in Sabah so much..(I'm a person who always prefer to eat mee than rice,haha~) All the mee there are so nice~
Telipok mee (only available in Sabah,haha~)

On the way to Sandakan, we stopped at Kundasang and visited the War Memorial Park there. In the park, there are a lots of colorful flowers and plants :)
Then after visited Kundasang War Memorial Park, we tasted a pure strawberry ice cream at a cafe in a hotel located in the mountain area on the way go to Sandakan. The strawberry is a bit too sour for me x_xThen after 8 hours' journey on car, we reached sandakan ^_^ KY brought us to try the famous satay and fruit ABC in Sandakan. Unfortunately that the satay was sold out, so didn't get to try it. The fruit ABC is also something special :) After that, we went to seaside of Sandakan, and watched sunset there ^_^ At night, KY took us to English Tea Garden (a high class restaurant/cafe with romantic environment). You can choose to sit outside (in the garden) of the restaurant/cafe to enjoy your meal ;)
On 9 Dec 2009:

We went to the morning market in Sandakan. I was almost fainted there.. The seafood there is really "very fresh", still alive..! Really cruel to buy them and see them being killed there..Saw them being killed make my mood so bad.. blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

At noon, KY brought us to eat "century egg dumpling+mee"(皮蛋角+面) at Sandakan. The dumpling is filled with meat and century egg..nice... I can say that every place and food that recommended by our very profesional tour guide is nice..
After lunch, we visited to Puu Jih Shih Buddhist Temple. The temple situated on top of hill..Very nice view of Sandakan from top of the temple..

Then, we visited to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. Orang Utan is being protected in Sabah and this centre is a place where young Orang Utan (which are orphan) are being fed and trained before they are released back into the forest when they become indenpendent and strong enough. The feeding time of this centre is 10am and 3pm. Feeding time is the time that we can see the orang utan.. So for people who want to go this centre, must choose the right time, otherwise won't be able to see the orang utan there..

After that, KY drove another 8 hours to send us back to Kota Kinabalu town..it's a long long journey on car again.. On the way went back to Kota Kinabalu town, we went to the foot of Kota Kinabalu Mountain. It's cold there (around 16 degree celcius).. nice.. Felt so relaxing there...I like the nature and environment there.. We shall preserve the nature...
On 10 Dec 2009:
In the morning, we set off to Kudat. It takes around 3 and half hour to reach Kudat from Kota Kinabalu town. Kudat is a small town, on the nortern tip of Borneo. On the way to Kudat, we bought jagung, kacang merah (famous..must buy and try!) and coconut biscuit there..
When arrived at Kudat, we went to the market at Kudat and then to the tip of Borneo..

After that, we drove back to Kota Kinabalu town.. (another 3 and half hours journey x_x) For dinner, we ate the chicken wing with sausage (the bone of chicken wing is removed and replaced with sausage) and fried dumpling (锅贴), nice nice.. (Erm..all food in sabah that i tried in that 5 days all nice, haha~) We even thought of running a restaurant that sell all these nice Sabah food in West Malaysia :p

On 11 Dec 2009:
In the morning, KY brought us to Philippino market in Kota Kinabalu. It is a place that sells souvenir and dried seafood (like seaweed, seacucumber, dried fish, dried prawn and etc)..My mum bought a lot of dried seafood there because very cheap :p

After shopping at Philippino market, KY took us to the beach of Kota Kinabalu before sent us to Kota Kinabalu Airport to take our flight on 3.30pm :)

Ending:
Enjoyed this Sabah trip very much..This is the 1st time I travelled to East Malaysia..The environment in Sabah is very simple and natural... During the trip, I felt so relaxing to be surrounded by the mountains and forests there.. Life can be so simple....

During this trip, so happy to be able to meet my dear friend--Hui Pin too, nice time spent with her there (visited to Sandakan with her and had long chat with her at night) ^_^

Besides, during this trip, I also discovered so many nice dishes in Sabah that I never tried before ~
*Satified*blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com This post will help me to keep my wonderful memory in Sabah..haha ^_^

Singapore airline recruitment interview

Today MC and I accompanied J attended singapore airline interview which held at suntec city singapore. It's really an eye opener for us..! The queue of people who attended the interview is so so so long... around 2000 people attended (estimated by us). The registration for the interview started from 9am till 2pm. We arrived at suntec city at 9am and there were already many many people queuing in front of us (around 550 gals in front of us)! *shocked*blogger-emoticon.blogspot.comThere were quite many guys who attended this interview too but of course not as many as gals that attended :p

We waited for around 2 and half hour until our turn..Haha,luckily 3 of us keep chat chat chat and laugh laugh laugh, therefore don't feel that the waiting time is very long, it passed very fast~ ^_^ After J registered and got the number of her group, we had lunch at food court there while waiting for the group interview session that started at 1pm. The group interview session started at 1pm, but she have to wait until around 2.40pm for the turn of her group..x_x According to her, the group interview session is only the 1st round of interview sessions..Once you get to pass the 1st round, you might need to attend 2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th rounf of interview..faint.. blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com really not easy to pass o..

During the 1st round of interview session, according to our estimation, there was only around 10-20% of people able to pass.. And in the 1st round of interview session, only one question was asked and that was: "Which celebrity you want to be and why?"...erm...=_=" (if i were asked this question, i really don't know how to answer lo, haha~ don't really very admire or want to be any single celebrity wo O_o)

In J's group (with 10 people in each group), only 2 gals being chosen to undergo 2nd round..some groups even don't have any gals being chosen to enter 2nd round (means whole group fail to enter 2nd round) =_=" In J's group, both the 2 gals being chosen are not chinese and they looked like mixed-blood (maybe one with the blood of indian and another indonesian). We couldn't figure out what make one person being selected over the others..Base on their outlook? Or base on the answer? Or their grammar? (Haha~) Only around 1-2 minute's time was given to answer the question wor...How to judge them base on such a short answer??

I knew J was a bit dissappoited that unable to enter 2nd round.. However, at least she had tried it..And we knew how the interview was.. Never try never know :)

A Christmas Carol: MERRY CHRISTMAS~!!

Yeah~Christmas is around the corner~ blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

I had watched "A Christmas Carol (2009)". Personally, I like the movie very much~ I like the way the director make the movie..very creative and when I watched the movie, I wonder how much effort the director put, to make the 3D movie so natural and the animation so amazing..The movie is visually stunning.. The movie was made like a 3D cartoon(I felt it looked like pc game), yet the emotions of every characters inside the movie looked so real.. Jim Carrey is a good actor inside this movie, he looked so serius and fierce at the beggining of the movie, and can become so funny at the end of the movie^_^

The story line is a bit "old fashioned"..but it is a story filled with very simple moral values that had always been forgoten by us.. Most importantly, the story tells the true meaning behind the celebration of Christmas^_^ Christmas is a time to give and share..and a time to spend with our beloved family and friends^_^
The movie made me feel wanna celebrate Christmas so much~!blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

"A Christmas Carol" is actually a classic Chritmas story by Charles Dickens. There are some other versions of "A Christmas Carol"..the first being Mickey's Christmas Carol(1983) and the other, The Muppet Christmas Carol(1992).. Before I went to watch this movie, I did not know that this Christmas Carol had other versions too and is a story by Charles Dickens..I just simply chosed the movie and enter the theater.. :p Alice told me that Mickey's Chritmas Carol is much better, but i haven't watched it..(can search for it in you-tube^_^) I'm gonna watch it too during free timeblogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

Hope everyone can enjoy during Christmas^_^ Merry Christmas & may God bless everyone~^_^



New Moon

我看了new moon的电影。。电影第一天上映我就冲去看了~

其实在看的时候觉得这电影还不错, 因为电影的特效都做得很好。。。

但可惜的是,这电影为了将那么厚的一本书的故事浓缩在一部电影里,太困难了,结果好像无法完全地表达出故事里的意境。。。

很多细节这电影都没有提到。。 在这电影里,那女主角每晚在噩梦中惊醒,拍得有点不自然。。而Bella跟Jacobs的感情又好像发展得太快。。 还有,有一点我很不满意的是那男主角在森林里跟女主角对话时,很像念台词。。怎么好像没什么感觉=_="

其实在故事书里,那女主角被抛弃后,内心那被丢弃的感觉是被描写得很深刻的。。每晚噩梦,梦里她总是一个人被遗弃在同个森林里。。梦无法停止,直到她惊醒。。字字刻入心扉,让人看了心都会揪起来。。为她流泪。。

而电影中也没提到Bella其实在分手后要找回他与她的照片,因为那是她唯一能证明自己Edward曾存在过的东西。。但她却怎么也找不到那照片。。真的很可怜。。Edward就这样完全的消失在她的世界里,像不曾存在过。。

而故事书里的Jacobs在New Moon中被描述得很阳光,开朗,像太阳一样。。给人很温暖,舒服的感觉。。在Bella完全封闭自己及没有灵魂地活着很长的时间后,给她有活着的感觉。。所以Bella才会依赖着他,因为跟他在一起是很自然,毫无负担的。。

大家对这故事有兴趣的话也可以去看看这电影。。读它的书New Moon会更棒啦~ 因为New Moon是四本当中,我最喜欢的。。描写得很棒,让你的心情跟故事里的主角的心情一起脉动。。
