My package received

2012-01-09T18:18:00.000+08:00

-Sneak peak picture?-

Facial problem, endless outburst of pimples, eye bags so bad that you look like a panda? Hair problem with the never ending split ends or getting irritated with the hair loss? Unwanted cellulite that can be seen when you wear your beautiful dress? Ahh, don't worry, you're not only one in the world suffering from patty issues as such.

So here's the things, I told Aviance about these little things I wanted to improve about myself. What is Aviance you ask?

Read more on this at their website
Aviance Beauty Solutions

After understanding the problems I was facing, Aviance had the perfect solutions to overcome it. Haha, how can I not be overjoyed? Every girl wants to look better don't they? So I thought that there will be no harm trying a new product, and since I've heard good reviews on this, all the more I was willing to try.

I finally received a package from Aviance about a week back. Weeeee...

Package of products!

Nice pretty and classy packaging they got there.

HAIR PROBLEM?

Here's the hair care product.

(from left to right)

1. Extra Moisture Body Wash

2) Micro Cream Shampoo Colour Revival

3) Micro Cream Conditioner Colour Revival

4) Concentrated Leave-on Hair Supplements with SOS Repair Comlpex

As most of you know, my hair is now red, but unfortunately, its fading. So here's the shampoo and conditioner to help. The leave on conditioner is to help keep the hair smooth and silky, with the shine that we all want. Body moisture, smell good, but not as good as the one I'm using.

So far, the leave on conditioner really does make the hair look much healthier, with the shine but totally oil free. I absolutely dislike when my hair is oily, but this keep on conditioner keeps the moisture there without getting my hair all oily.

(if any of you are interested in the hair care product, let me know, and I'll do a review on this product on itself. With pictures included)

PANDA EYES AND LINES?

Resilient Complex Ultimate Smoothing Double Caviar Eye Cream

Ahhh, you read right, Caviar Eye Cream. Imagine how rich it is. My eye isn't wrinkly, nor do I have very bad eye bags (thank goodness) but for those of you who do, trust me when I say it really does show improvement. I never belief in eye cream, cause I have a friend who spends a lot of time and waste on eye products, but it never does work. My mum used this for a week, AND ~~SHE STARTED SHOOTING LASER BEAMS FROM HER EYES LIKE CYCLOPS!~~ (i'm kidding), her eye bags really lighten up, and the fine lines are not as obvious as before.

(I'll do a review on this particular product soon, to show before and after pictures)

DRY SKIN?

Resilient Complex Ultimate Smoothing Double Caviar Face Cream

Isn't the same as above, this is Face Cream instead. My skin is the ultimate bipolar skin you'll ever see. There are times where oil seeps out from my face like squeezing water out of the sponge, and there are times where my face is like a land cracking due to drought. No, my face doesn't crack, the skin peels instead. Like i'm shredding! Eeeww right?

So, I decided to use this cream. I am very particular about the type of cream I use. I do not use oil base cream cause it leaves an oily effect and I hate it, instead I used water base cream (which isn't usually the affordable type or easily bought off the shelf). And this Caviar Face Cream that I'm using, yes, it is oil base, BUT surprisingly, it doesn't not leave ANY TRACES OF OIL. On the other hand, it gives a very smooth, dry but moist effect after putting it on. I do not know how to explain this to you, you've just gotta try it yourself to understand what I'm saying.

Extra Moisture Body Lotion

I use this product just to apply on calf area. Want silky legs, apply lotion. Doesn't have to be this brand, any brand will do. Since I received this body lotion product, I'll make use of it.

MAKE-UP CAUSING BAD SKIN?

Perfecting- Effect Deep Cleansing Oil

Girls, do you know make-up kills your skin, its like a slow death torture. Hah! A little rich coming from me, since I too apply make-up (more often than many girls as there, hehe). So, here's a little pampering to my skin after attempting to kill them. I use Maybelline make up but unfortunately, Maybelline's make up recover doesn't remove nuts from my face, instead it just smears everywhere making me look like a zombie instead. Aviance Deep Cleansing Oil however removes my make up really well. With the max of two swipes, its all clean.

Yes of course its oily after cleaning, just so cleanse your face then.

FAT?

Concentrated Anti-Cellulite Cream

Now here's the miracle worker I want to talk about. This post was clearly to review this product. Yes, I'm not exactly what you call fat, nor would I say I'm perfectly fit. Now, I got this Anti Cellulite Cream one week ago, and I've used it everyday morning and night ever since. So I thought to myself, I really doubt it would work. I went online, done some research on this, read some reviews about this and decided to use it, because people say it does actually work. Some even say the effect is almost immediate.

And here's the results!

IT ACTUALLY DOES WORK!

Personally, the effect wasn't as immediate as other say. But every single time I apply, I get tingling feeling on my skin, and after a while, it feels a little (really just a little) tighter on areas I applied. This feeling would last for about 15 to 20 minutes. Haha, I like the tingling feeling, it does feel good.

I use this amount on areas I want to concentrate on

And here's what I think you would like to see...

Thigh

(One week time frame)

Picture on the left was taken one week ago, and picture on the right was taken last night. It was reaching 19, and yesterday, it wasn't reaching 19 anymore. Not much a difference but bare in mind it has only been ONE WEEK!

(Picture taken on the same leg (left thigh), at the same area (slightly below my red marked scar).

Waist line

(One week time frame)

One week ago, it was 24 and a half, measured again yesterday (AFTER DINNER), only slightly after 24. Have a tummy you would like to get rid off? Here am I sharing how.

These are only the few products out of the many others that targets other problems, just so you know.

There are a few more products I have yet to try, but the reviews for the other products will be done soon. Maybe one by one or if you want a review on a product let me know in the comments. I will be heading to Aviance to take a look in a few days, so if any of you are interested in this, let me know. Those of you who have my number, I'm just a call or SMS away. Those of you who don't, my email is carmen.w21@live.com (I don't use msn any longer).

I'm feeling good

Leaping into 2012

2012-01-02T17:30:00.000+08:00

We all took a big step and finally entered in year 2012. So how exactly was 2011 for me? Trust me when I say it was ten times better than 2010. Rich coming from me, but I've got nothing to complain about. I wouldn't say it was a bed of roses everyday, but it definitely was a year for me to brag about.

There were many things that I'm grateful for that happened in 2011. If i were to highlight everything, it would be a pretty long list, so I'll dense things up for you with the picture above. Picture represents a thousand words right?

2011 has taught me some real good lessons, and I'm really looking forward to this year and all the amazing things that are about to happen.

Learning that charity starts at home with unconditional love

Learning that some friends are just absolutely priceless

Learning the good in saying goodbye

Taking risk is just a part of growing up

Opening my heart again even though it would be venerable

Learning and understanding that time waits for no man

Learning how to say no when I'm suppose to say no

Learning how to give in even if its after many times

Learning how to put in effort even if sometimes its not worthy

So what exactly is my resolution?

Seriously, I want to jump in a pool of popcorn, or be a mermaid, or get fangs. hahaha, dreaming a little too much huh? Noting down something more realistic, I want to stay healthy and exercise and get fit. Yes, and also to get my dad all fit as well. Bond with my mum and sisters more. Continue being soul mates with C4E. RESULTS are crucial!!! and hopefully being able to open my heart again to say I love you and hope for some in return. Cheeesssyyy...

Oh well, here's to you and you and you and you... Its still Christmas to me, so Merry Christmas and Happy 2012. Best wishes to all you people that I love, hope your money have sex and multiply fast enough, and with health so great, doctors start to lose their jobs. As for you people ~~that has done me wrong/I dislike~~ I have nothing to like about, ~~choke and die~~, have a great year ahead as well.

2012-01-02T11:31:00.001+08:00

Damn, we've all leaped into the all famous 2012 in a blink of an eye. Heard all the big fuss about the world ending soon? *Moment of silence and pray for Japan*, no, seriously, pray for Japan. Anyways, since everyone going on about the world ending, I must as well fret over it as well. Wanna have all the fun I can have before the day comes. Always wanted to jump into a pool of popcorn... but after much thought, partying in style would seem more realistic. So this is what's coming up...

Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilege Collection NYX

Oh, whats a party without dresscode yall!!

ULTRA VIOLET AND WHITE

I'd dress to impress, you do too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Felt almost complete

2011-12-27T13:56:00.000+08:00

Why hello my fellow readers. Its been awhile since I've blogged about something more on the personal side, so I thought it would be a good time to do so since ITS CHRISTMAS. But before I go on, I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. I hope you left cookies and milk out for santa, if you didn't, you know why you didn't receive a present from him. Boo you =)

Anyways, after a ~~few million decades~~ months, our Elaine's finally back. Honestly felt like forever since I've seen her. Do not like the distance, but it does feel good to know that we're still able to give eye contacts and understand each other perfectly.

And dearest Charmaine's back for Christmas too. What better way to spend Christmas.

The last time Elaine came back, we picked her up from the air port, thinking back about it makes me laugh

The last time it was the four of us. Many months back, as you can see, my hair was still short.

Anyways, back to a few days back. Met up with Elaine, Charmaine and Celine in One Utama. We needed to catch up real big time. Talked alot during lunch. Ate at Lavender, and honestly, food was not to my liking.

Charmaine and Elaine

We headed off to Diva after lunch.
Someone tried to pick pocket off Charmaine's bag in Diva, thank god the sales person was on the watch. I'm seriously not understanding the lack of humanity these days. I hope yall choke on a horse, and merry christmas to you too.

Charmaine and I

Boo yah, this is what you get when you have two girls waiting with a camera

At the ATM

Our signature shots

Charmaine and Celine

we had out little food marathon. Lunch, tutti fruitti after, and then cake and mash potato. You'd be amazed with the amount of food we ballerinas can eat.

It was really good to have them back. Its been awhile since we were almost complete. It does scare me from time to time, seeing the distance we have between us. Nonetheless, I love the four of you (of course including you Miss Chan Wye Yee, we missed you for Christmas, it would have be prefectly complete if you were here). The greatest gift from you girls, are having yall back here with Celine and I. And the greatest gift of all is having to know the four of you girls.

We have big plans ok. The apartment we want to get together, the 2018 plan, the bridesmaid plans, the getting old together screaming at our grandchildren plans, and the racing around with the scooter in the old folks home plan (and hearing Celine scream, I WINNNNNN)

Epitome of Friendship

Winter Solstice Festival

2011-12-22T18:30:00.002+08:00

Guess what!!! ITS GUO TONG!

I'm not sure if I got the right pinyin (i'm a banana, oh well), but in English its known as the Winter Solstice Festival. Its one of the biggest festival that we, chinese celebrate annually, besides chinese new year that is. Wanna know more bout this festival? I'll tell you what I know, but then again, i'm not sure if its true or not. oh well, here goes...

Back in those days, not sure which dynasty was it, citizens would celebrate when winter arrives. Like a public holiday in the current days, but more homely. They would cook and offer food to others, family and friends of course. It was also a day for everyone to offer scarifies to the God, or late relatives. These days, its is very well known for having Tong Yuen on the table, however, back then some part of China have red bean soup with glutinous rice to protect themselves from evil. Some other parts of China, have dumplings instead, and some even have cakes. I guess the tradition picked up was the Tong Yuen.

Hence this post!

I woke up today, and all I hear was.... AHHH I WANNA ROLL, I WANNA MAKE, I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA. Cousin was over, playing with Trisha, and its Guo Tong today, making the Tong Yuen is a must.

Preparation...

Ma adding in some water for us to start

Gula Malacca

Sinfully Sweet

Sa and Ma

Rolling it in. THE BIGGER THE BETTER.

Started with white

We messed up big time.

Four Colours

Happens every year =)

Jessie (cousin) and Sa

Putting them in

Boiled them. When it starts to float, then its ready to be taken out

put them in room temperature water for a while for them to cool down

Final touch, with the ginger soup.

Oh the amount of balls I ate. I feel like a fat santarina now! =D

Food and its satisfaction

CCC Creation Culture - Going Fusion

2011-12-22T18:06:00.000+08:00

What a meal huh?

you're probably thinking whats the occasion, so here goes...

A long long long long long long long, (ok, it wasn't so long) time ago, a few of us decided to have a cook out session which made the evening quite a memorable one. Honestly thinking about about the dining experience makes me really hungry right now. Oh well, this was how the whole thing started.

Our dear Elwyn wanted a cook out session, and wanted the food to go Fusion Style. So, Edwin decided to come up with some Fusion Style Recipe and although its not the normal combination of ingredients you get outside, you'll be shock with how everything just complimented each other.

Edwin and I went to get dry ice in the morning. Two big blocks was more that enough to impress me. haha, you'll see what I'm talking about later on. We went to giza after for some grocery shopping, and met up with Elwyn. After buying all the ingredients, we got home, and started with everything. You know, I never knew this, but its the preparation time that is time consuming, not the cooking time. haha.

Cutting skills

Kian Fai Dai Kor joined us after a while. I must say, it was really lovely to have friends over to have a cookout session.

Making Dessert

It was this that fascinated me. I love the dry ice effect. SMOKEYYY!!!

This was how Edwin made his ice cream. I never knew ice cream could be made this way. Something new I learnt I guess. AHHHH, i love this pictures. so smokey!!! =D

After all the cooking, and the messing around... we're ready to eat!

Mocktail of the day - Herbiéto

Clod freezy, with a lil crunch on the sago.. thirst quenching =)

Appretizer – Creamy Carrot Soup

Wasn't too thick or watery, just the way I like it

Main Course - Polenta Crusted Stuffed Chicken withCurried Leave Mushrooms with Creamy Butter (Lai Yau) Spaghetti and Thai StyleSalad served with Curry Sauce and Wasabi Mayo

Look little huh? but trust me when I say it is FILLING!!!

Dessert - Pineapple Dry Ice Creamand Cream Cheese Parfait with Chocolate Tabasco

What a meal without dessert? =) Pineapple isn't my cup of tea, but the ice cream was just amazing. Ice cream lover, what can I say? =)

Haha, we're bound to have more cookout session. Be a part of the next one? Just let me know.

All credited to Chef Edwin, including pictures.

Of course many thanks to Elwyn and Kian Fai too.

Titi Eco Farm Resort

2011-12-06T12:39:00.001+08:00

Hectic day at work, with the amount of pollution in the city, even having a Starbucks Frap wouldn't take the heat of the shoulders long enough to be in a relaxed state. A break from the city would do the trick in my case. But where exactly? Not wanting to spend a bomb on flight tickets, and also have an environment that is calm, soothing and actually have a taste of Mother Nature's natural breath? Here's where I recommend.

Titi Eco

I've always thought going all organic would make my food and meals rather bland, or maybe its just the one I've been eating is bland, but having a taste of the food they provide there was rather shocking. It isn't exactly as tasteful as the hawker food stalls we have in KL (and mind you, those food have tonnes of MSG in then, hence the taste), the food here is so fresh that you'll actually enjoy to tasting the freshness instead. I have no words to explain this, so I guess you've gotta go try it yourself.

Anyhow, Titi Eco is an organic farm. Being 21, I haven't actually been to an organic farm before, and even if I have, its not ringing a bell. So the experience here was exciting.

Passion Fruit

One of the ugliest looking food with the best taste. I love it. What I like about this section of the farm was the smell. The smell of passion fruit was just lingering throughout the whole area. Lovely.

Langsat

I haven't had langsat for a really long time!

Flowers

more flowers

More more flowers

I'm not sure if these are considered flowers, but yeah, more flowers

The plant on the left was really beautiful. Couldn't stare at it all day

Aloe Vera Plant

My grandmother likes eating these. I have a few pots of these at the back of my house. Goes really well with fruit salad =)

Sawi?

THEY HAD ANIMALS THERE TOO!
Chicken

Ostrich, and its egg. Trust me when I say it was HUGE!

They had the birds, and chicks and goose too. We didn't dare to go near the goose. We were warn that the goose would target you, run towards you, attack you and eat you alive and you'' die a painful slow death. hahaha. ok, no i'm just joking. But the male goose was just rather protective of his own property, so if you go near if might really chase you.

Papaya was serve. Oh the papaya was juicy, big and sweet!!!

Passion Fruit was sour and sweet. the way I like them

Rojak

Remember, all organic, and it was mouth watering.

End Product

Starter before dinner

Oh, and they serve fresh flowers in the meal. Yes edible flowers. Pretty meal huh? =)

Some organic products on sale

Their drawing on the blackboard was interesting. And if you're there at the right season, you'll be able to buy fresh organic fruits.

Relaxing view or what!

I LOVE BUBBLES, and they have a big compound for us to play with them! I left like a kid all over again.

See what I mean, when I say its relaxing there. the food is healthy, the environment is beautiful and bubbles that distresses you =)

The map to Titi Eco

When the map shows the Moo Moo Cow (on the left side) no joke, you'll actually see shows. We even passed goats. hahaha, I was a lil jakun when I saw them.

Titi Eco provides different packages, so feel free to choose what you like. Here are some details you might want to know.

Church Wedding Day 3

2011-12-01T12:05:00.001+08:00

If yall have been keeping up, I headed down to Singapore recently, and was at Universal Studios during day one, (click to read), and attended the ROM in Singapore Zoo during day two, (click to read) and had a Morning Torture for the guys on the 3rd day. (click to read).

Here's how it went, the groom picked the bride up from her house, goes through an obstacle doorway access, and if he and his brothers are lucky enough to survive, which fortunately they did, groom goes into the house, open the bride's veil, take some pictures, and headed off to the church. YES, a church wedding! =D

And let me tell you, the church was beautiful

(come to think of it, everything in Singapore IS beautiful, I'm bias, sue me, Singaporean in disguise)

Kor and Jie's Church Wedding

Hey, its a church wedding, you've gotta have your bridesmaid walking down with the best men first.

Demetrius and Rianne

Daniel and Rushell

Elgene and I

Once, all of us reached the end of the aisle, the door finally opened!! =D

Uncle Raymond walking down the aisle with Jie to give her hand away.

=')

Uncle Raymond giving Jie's hand away to kor

Calling the witness up!

So, Jie's church wedding witness was my Dad and Mum. Its a real honour to them to be her wedding's witness. I think my mum was fighting real hard to hold back her tears.

Kor making is vow

Jie making her vow

I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO!!!

Kiss the bride!

Time of the rings. Rings was with Alex.

Exchanging the rings

Making it black and white. Forever bounded!

Dad signing

Mum signing

Priest signing

Wedding Certs? =D

Hmmm, i'm still wondering whats the purpose of lighting up the candle.

But it was pretty sweet anyhow

Newly weds

walking on the aisle again

THE FLOWER ARCH IS BEAUTIFUL!

I WANTED TO TAKE IT BACK!

='D

Haha, tossing the flower time?

everyone stares up, as jie threw the bouquet of flower to the sky. anticipating to pounce on the bouquet as it gets closer and closer, like hungry hyenas in sight of food.

Nah, hahaha, i'm just kidding.

No really, i'm really just kidding.

Elissa caught the flowers =D

All the brothers and sisters in the picture.

After all the walking in the church, we wedding to lunch in the church cafeteria. There, we had the "tea pouring" session, in chinese, we call it the zhum cha session. Its basically the newly weds giving their respects to the elders and in return they get angpaus! =D haha

Jie's parents first of course.

hugs

Some others, including Leemin's parents. (middle picture on the top row)

Did I mention that all girls in my family line are very very emotionally affected by the smallest things that happens around us. And somehow, Jie is as bad as us. This session got a little emotional after awhile. (when Jie poured tea for her parents and my parents), she turned around, with her eyes all red, flooding with tears, looking far and beyond for someone to pass her a tissue to save her make up. And it resulted it me having tears in my eyes too. =')

Happy tears

Pictures to prove our emotional instability!

Haha, we're all hopeless girls Jie, I love you.

Up next, night dinner...

Day 3, Morning Torture

2011-11-23T11:40:00.001+08:00

Whats a traditional chinese wedding without the morning torture for the guys? Haha, just thinking back about it makes me laugh so hard.

So this is how my morning started.

Hello Singapore!

I had to wake up at 5 to get ready. Had to leave the hotel at 7 in the morning to reach Jie's place by 7.30. Woke up, showered, straighten my hair, sprayed the fringe up, put on my pink dress, wear my corsage, put on my bracelet, makeup and I was good to go.

Yes, I was the Maid of Honour, and am pretty much honoured to be. =) First time yo! I wore that dress, satin, pink dress, custom made, and I loved it. nice nice?

In the maxi cab, haha, dont get me going about how efficient the cabs are in singapore again.

Reached there, and we had to get ready for the torture, DUM DUM DUM!!!

We were getting ready the little yummy shot drinks for the boys. *anticipating*? I'll let you know later.

Got ready the props with Rianne, Elissa, and Rushell. Rianne and Rushell were the other bridesmaid.

And Jie was in her room, getting ready. =)

=D *sniff sniff*

Jie and her family

Aunty Theresa, Uncle Raymond, and Alvin

yup yup, very pink indeed

BOYS ARE HERE!!! TIME TO OVER THE VEIL!!!

woots woots, at this point, my heart was pumping like as though I'm the one getting married. haha.

So yes, Alvin, needed to go down to open the door for the kor (groom). With two oranges in his hand that is. haha, Don't know why, dont ask me, I don't know. Anyways, here's the drill, Alvin is suppose to go down, get a red packet from kor, (check the money inside, and see if its enough/acceptable amount), pass the oranges to kor, and open the door for him.

So, here's what happened, Alvin got to the car, and we were screaming from the window upstairs saying, "CHECK HOW MUCH MONEY IS INSIDE, IF ITS SMALL, GIVE THE RED PACKET BACK AND ASK FOR ANOTHER ONE"

and Alvin of course checked la, and he screamed back

"ITS THE LIGHT GREEN NOTE!!! HOW?!"

"ASK FOR MORE LAAAA"

Hahaha, eventually, Alvin gave him the oranges, and opened the door for kor. hhahaha, hilarious much.

So when Kor reached up to the house, haha, we asked for red packets again.

Us being us, we of course checked, and hahaha, money is never enough, we kinda asked for more money 3 times, and 3 times the money double double double! SD YO! =D hahaha, i felt so evil absorbing money just like this. Haha. As you can see in the picture, we counted to the very last cent! =D

FIRST TASK

What was the funny drink we were mixing? Lets test all their taste senses.

1. Sugar water - Mixed with half a packet of sugar inside (thats alot) mixed with honey and syrup

2. Salt water - SO MUCH SALT that the salt really couldn't dissolve anymore under boiling water

3. Pure Balsamic Vineger - PURE

4. Wasabi drink - THICK

5. Bitter Tea - We chinese call it leong cha. The normal one is already bitter as hell, this is ADDED WITH 5 MORE SPOONS OF THE BITTER POWDER.

And all this are put into shot glasses, mixed with extremely blue food colouring (I swear they're systems inside was all blue after).

come come!!! BEST MAN FIRST!!!

Alex oh Alex, you'll have the honour of having the first taste

I honestly, do not know what he got. but his face was priceless!

Demetrius!!! HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAAA!!! Oh god, I can't stop laughing now.

The other Brother (second best man)

THIS WAS THE ONE THAT MADE ME LAUGH THE HARDEST!!!

Why? hahahahaha. So Elgene was my partner for the wedding (third best man), and I guess me being his partner, he would have trusted me to give him so sweet drink or something! hahhahahahaha. so he came to the door, and said to me, "You pick for me" HAHAAHAHAHAHAHHA AND HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I picked the wasabi shot for him. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, WHEN I FED HIM, i think the wasabi taste shot up his nose. and he looked back at me with those eyes!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!

"Carmen, I trusted you!!!"

Sorry Elgene. =D You're still a good best man!

Ong Wei, I don't know what drink he took, but he was laughing and laughing and laughing!!

The other few brothers that took the drink!!!

ALL THEIR FACES WAS PRICELESS!!! =D

Now, Kor's turn to take the drink!

Honestly, kor's face was the most stoned face. LIKE HE DRANK WATER ONLY! hahahhahahahahahhahahahaha.

We were expecting some weird face, but hahahahhhahah there was nothing!

Smile smurf teeth!

eeeeeee all blue!

Toothpicks as spikes are poked into the end of the cucumber.. and GUESS WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.

I do not understand.

2011-11-22T23:59:00.001+08:00

Exactly what I would really like to scream at the top of my lungs now

Warning : If you're not ready for a full load of venting going on high speed, jolly well ALT F4 now.

Why am I so upset? Wait, being upset is an understatement, I am FURIOUS! My friend's car's window got smashed, and my laptop was stolen. Mind you, my laptop is only 3 DAYS OLD. Not only the laptop, my self written college notes for this whole semester, my organiser that I listed every god damn thing to remind myself all appointments, events, due dates that are coming. All gone.

I swear when I got in the car, and realise the window smashed, glass shattered all over the car seat, my heart exploded and shattered inside me. Knowing for sure my laptop was gone.

So someone, explain to me why there are such people out there who have the humanity to carry out crimes as such? How do people like these fall asleep at night, not feeling guilty at all? How do these people have a family without feeling shameful? How do these people have children and be responsible? HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT BREAKING INTO SOMEONE CAR AND STEALING SOMETHING. Wouldn't it eat you from the inside? Wouldn't you have this rock tied in your body making you wanna choke at every breath you take? Come on, someone's life could have been on the line here. If you have no sense of guilt, and have no humanity left in you, please save us some space and die already

I honestly do not give two hoots if you're desperate for money, or you did it out of your habits and nature of yourself, or even if its you taking pleasure out of this, I promise you, you will lose what is most precious to you one day if you go on with this.

So, as I am still raging with anger right now, not understanding why some humans by nature can be lacking of so much humanity, I hope you get what you deserve. Choke at every breath you take, gag at every ounce of food and drink you swallow. Trip at every 3 steps you take. Get frighten awake each time you're about to fall asleep.

Death is just a little too easy for now.

And to you,

I'm sorry about your car. I really didn't mean for this to happen. It is eating me from the inside, and I feel extremely bad. If only you'll let me do something about it so I'll feel better. I'm sorry again. You know who you are.

Come to think of it, so many things could have happened differently today. If I wasn't being a good student, I would have skipped class, and stayed at home peacefully, therefore, wont take my laptop out. If I left class early, I wouldn't have to bring my laptop. Ahhhh, I'm never bringing my laptop out again.

Lesson taken, ~~NEVER BE A GOOD STUDENT, attend of stay till class is over. Should just skip classes and laptop would be safe.~~ =) Joking.

NEVER KEEP LAPTOPS IN THE CAR. Some Low Class Desperate Animals who consumes laptops are on the lose. Even dogs are ranked higher than people like these.

Law of Revenge

R.O.M. Day 2

2011-11-19T13:15:00.001+08:00

If yall have been keeping up with my post, I recently went to Singapore (last week), and it was one of the best holiday I've been to. I've posted about my day 1 in Singapore (click to read). and here's to day 2, alongside with the Registration of Marriage, ROM.

Guess where the ROM was held? In the one place I long to visit in Singapore. THE SINGAPORE ZOO. I'm telling you the Singapore Zoo beats Malaysia's Zoo HANDS DOWN. Malaysia does not even come close to par with the Singapore Zoo standard. For one, THEY'RE WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY. Malaysia's zoo isn't even "walking friendly". Second, its CLEAN EVEN IF ITS A PLACE FILLED WITH ANIMALS. I assure you, you wont find rubbish on the sidewalks. Thirdly, the animals really look well taken off (well fed, well clean, well nurtured). Lions and tigers are huge, and not anorexic looking like the ones in Malaysia. Zebras have actual black and clean white stripes. Hahaha, Malaysia's zebra's are almost all black, why? DIRTY!!! thats why!

Anyways, yes it is pretty amazing to have the ROM in the zoo. Woke up early, about 7 in the morning I guess. Yes, a night owl like me, 7 in the morning is extremely early. Sometimes I wonder if I'm meant to sleep in the morning and be awake when its dark. haha, i do appreciate the light in the dark more than the day light itself somehow.

Good morning Singapore

Yes, I wore this to the ROM. ITS IN THE ZOO, I wanted to feel comfortable and have fun with the casual attire.

=) Jie asked to go casual anyways. =)

Sue me.

After getting ready, we went down for breakfast. Hotel breakfast are the best. Fav food baby!!!! Pancakes, cereal with milk, omelette, juice, fruits, ham, bacon, toast, bread with butter. YUMMY!!!

Though I have to say again, Singapore food is bland. haha.

Breakfast with the family.

Trisha

PANCAKES!!!

I have been craving, for pancakes alot. Though, I still prefer the really thin ones.

flooded with maple syrup!!!

Hello Breakfast!

Called for the Maxi Cab again. Yes I can go on and on and on about how efficient they are. Asked for a cab at 10, they were there at 9.50, with the stool ready for my grandmother to get up the cab with ease. Oh, the efficient people in Singapore, just amazes me.

Got into the cab and mum decided to snap snap snap away with me. My personal routine! =D

somehow, I just really like this picture. <3

Mother and daughter.

Mother and Daughter.

Us three

Alright, once we reached the zoo, we had the tram to take us all the way in to the location. Haha, I felt rather VIP-ed. For one, I didn't have to line up in the LONG LINE to enter to zoo. I had a guestlist! HAHAHA! I just skipped everyone in line. Walking in like a pro! And as everyone walked in the trail in the zoo, I had a tram taking me around (us). hahahahaha. Let me live in my joy while I can.

On the tram

Hello Singapore Zoo

And when we reached the ROM location, I was dumbstruck!!!

The sight of it was just beautiful.

Always wanted to have a garden wedding, and having a glimpse of it this time just left me pretty much speechless. Beautiful is an understatement!

Take a look at it yourself

(of course my picture aren't as nice)

Hello beautiful garden wedding

trisha and I

Hello beautiful flower arch

Fairy tale wedding?

WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT!!!

When I say fairy tale, I mean it.
Horse Carriage Entrance

AMAZING OR WHAT!

I swear when I saw this, tears was filled in my eyes like as though I'm the one getting married. Oh dear.

even the horse is beautiful.

SHE A MALE!!!

sniff sniff*

Sigh, so beautiful

There you go, they're here.

Kor and Jie

(Vincent and Stephanie)

Isn't she beautiful? =)

Calling up the witness

Reading the vows

At this point, I was wearing and ruining my mascara. I really couldn't stop tearing, it was just flowing and flowing. I had no control over it or whatsoever.

Getting the rings

Putting on the ring for kor

Kor's putting on the ring for Jie

='D

sniff sniff sniff

There you go, Mr and Mrs Wang

Mum, Jie, Kor

The boys

JS, Elgene, James, Alex, Demetrius, Ong Wei, Timothy, Charles and Mat.

Leemin's Family

Jie's Family

Did I mention that it was Jie's birthday too. Yes it was on the 11.11.11. Nice number huh? =)

I guess she didn't have time to plan for her birthday, so kor surprised her with a cake instead at the feast we had. =)

Haha, she cried!!!

FOOD!!!

Chocolate eclair was the best food I had in Singapore. haha.

Buffet style feast in the zoo. =)

And they even gave a little toys for us to bring home. I got the Rhino. Cute huh?

After the ROM was done, I follow Jie home to help her out with a few undone errands. And finally managed to play with her chins. =) Cute huh? haha, I'm not sure what family they belong to exactly, but i'm guessing they're from the rodent family.

I got home later in the evening. I was exhausted as hell. was kinda falling sick then, down with fever. =( But I kept myself up.Got home, and got comfy in the room. It was still freezing!!!

Ma and anne!!! ROOM SERVICE BABY! I NEED FOOD!

I got comfortable myself. I need to get a bathrobe to keep at home. its like going around in a blanket! weeee

Day 3 post coming soon. =D

I'm missing singapore already.

Singapore - Day 1

2011-11-17T17:02:00.001+08:00

It was high time for a holiday, a break from the nonsense in uni, an escape for me to have a little breather. Sounds like a fantasy come true huh? Except that this was VERY REAL! VERY REAL INDEED.

It was time for SINGAPORE

Yes, I traveled to Singapore. A place that I've been wanting to go back to stroll around with no worries. I was more than excited to head back to Singapore. Well, I'm not that irresponsible to just leave with no valid reason. Jie (Stephanie) and Kor (Yineng) are tying the knot. YES, GETTING MARRIED. And its Jie, how can I not be there to witness this beautiful moment.

AND ITS IN SINGAPORE!!!

(bare with me and my love for Singapore)

So, we woke up really early. Around 5 in the morning, got ready, waited for the cab (which was late), without any breakfast (I was hungry as hell).

The wake up look.

Trisha

I hate pushing the trolly

So they pushed the big ones instead

Reached the airport around 7. Checked in immediately. Had a few minutes to spare before boarding. During this few minutes, we had sometime to catch up with Leemin's parents. (Jie's Uncle and Aunty).

Trisha and I

Rianne

Us three

A few moments to take pictures too?

Trish'a boarding pass

About time to get into the plane. Somehow, I really do not like departing from LCCT. Just doesn't give a very comfortable feeling. (Plays Final Destination in my head) Chills.

In the plane. Lets fly baby.

I absolutely love the feeling when the plane is lifting off. Total jakun. Wanted to take a few shots of the clouds but they didn't let me use my camera. Oh well. I pass this area, and saw this REALLY LONG CURVY RIVER (in Malaysia) and I thought it was really beautiful. It wasn't really a long ride, come to think of it, its really short. We board, we lift off, they sell their food, we eat, they collect rubbish, and we land. One after another almost immediately. Its really no surprise that the food they sell in AirAsia is expensive as hell. So lets just starve in the plane a little while more and eat in Singapore instead. (Sides, the food in the plane are not edible)

Changi Airport Baby!!!

Even the air in Singapore smells better. Cleaner!

Arrived safe and sound

I have to say, it is a really beautiful airport.

Jie, Kor, Aunty Theresa, and Uncle Raymond picked us up from the airport. And guess what, JIE BOUGHT US TICKETS TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!!! Hell Yeah!

Jie took our stuff, and checked in Concorde Hotel for us at Orchard Road. Hotel was good, service was good, environment was good, it was just damn good overall. Anyways, we took a maxi cab and headed University Studios. Why wait any longer! Weeee, its been a while since I acted like a child being so excited over a theme park!

In maxi cab.

Haha, Honestly, the uncle driving the cab was really nice. All of them are actually. They have this little stool for my grandmother to step on before getting into the cab, and all the uncles will actually help you up and down the cab like real gentlemen, not to mention, opening doors and closing doors. AND GUESS WHAT, THEY'RE EFFICIENT, I have to wait NO LONGER than 8 minutes for them to arrive. (unlike Msia, waiting for few hours sometimes to get a public transport).

Rianne and Trisha

Us Three

Entrance

We were warmly greeted by Mister Frankenstein upon arrival

Mum had her thing going on with him. hahaha

Time to eat, breakfast, brunch, lunch.... wtv you wanna call it, I was hungry.

Haha, one downside about Singapore is that their food isn't as good and tasteful as Malaysia. Its really bland.

There were so many ride, and so many games to play around. I didn't manage to take any pictures during them because either the ride was a wet ride, or I was too excited running around I didn't have time to take out my camera. Oh well. There was this Flying Coach Ride (I think thats the name of it), it reminded me of the ride we have up in Genting (Superman). We sat that ride first. Trisha's first time riding on ride as such. She was either too young or too short (yes she's as tall as me now). OHHHHH, and THERE WAS THIS MUMMY RIDE!!! I'm telling you, it was the best ride ever. Better than the ones I've sat in Aussieland, and of course from any in Msia. Dad sat with us the first time, and Rianne, Trisha and I sat again after. If yall ever head to Universal Studios, this ride is A MUST!

After all the crazy fun, 4-D Shrek Adventure, scary mummy ride, we needed to rest. So instead of staying any longer, we decided to head back to the hotel. As we were going out, we spotted this candy shop! HELLO, CANDY SHOP, WHO CAN RESIST!!! The 3 of us, ran in like hooligans!

Trisha

Chocolates baby!

JUST LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL SIGHT OF SINFUL COLOURED SUGAR.

Assorted Candy Dandy!!

JELLY BEAN BABY, JELLY BEANS!!!

Haha, cute chocolate packaging

Drinks and chocolate balls, and other pretty things that were on the shelf.

We headed back to the hotel around 3 plus pm. Jie and kor was waiting for us there. haha, as usual, Rianne and I would run to the room booking our beds. Unfortunately, this time she went first, so I had to sleep in the middle. Poor me. Hotel room was absolutely comfortable. IT WAS FREEZING COLD. EVEN WHEN THE AIRCON WAS OFFED!!! Imagine that!!!

Toilet was clean, big, and they had a bathtub. Ahhh bathtubs are scary. So getting pulled inside by something *******...... Lets not spoil my moment now. We showered, got some rest, slept till about 7pm and headed out for dinner. Kuan Yi Yi was free to met up with us. Woots, its been a while since we saw her. Haha, it was lovely to see her again. She makes me laugh all the time.

Had dinner at Plaza Singapore, at the food court. There were so many different types of food there, I took literally half an hour to pick what I want. Eventually, mum asked me to try this korean dish, which I really didn't like it. Dad's indo rice was really good, and the soup I order wasn't all bad as well. After dinner, we headed of to some shopping complexes along orchard road. Headed there to get Jie a present too. Her birthday, 11.11.11. =D

So this was practically my first day in Singapore. Yeah, I bought a Singapore number too, didn't use my Malaysia number, so if any of you tried to reach me, sorry. =)

Woots, Day One was awesome. Day Two will be up soon.

Singapore is clean everywhere, I like.

Dog Therapy Day Out

2011-10-28T16:13:00.000+08:00

Its been a while since I went to the pet shop. Its practically the only pet shop I go to, well maybe because its the only pet shop I trust. Ever heard of Uptown Pet Centre. (click to check it out).

I've been longing to make a visit for a really long time, and opportunity came! Wye Yee is back now, and she really wanted to play around with some dogs (especially after the incident that happened, hahah she badly needs this). A week back or so, we visited the place together.

Know why I feel so good and comfortable there compared to other pet shops? Firstly, the people working there are so very friendly, makes you feel so welcomed. Secondly, there are dogs running around everywhere!!! Know how amazing the feeling is when you enter a place, and all the cute little dogs run towards you and the next thing you know you're surrounded by them? Yeah, that feeling is priceless. Thirdly, the place is so clean, I can even sit on the floor and spend a little quality time with the dogs.

Meet Ando

Female Schnauzer

She's a show dog champ yo! =)

Kisses from Wye Yee and I

Wye Yee

Ahh, she got tired after a while.

Meet Sugar

She gave birth to two puppies recently. (with Billy Boy, another poodle)

Treat time! Yeah, should check out the other stuns they can pull off.

Other dogs in for grooming?

Thats a Golden Retriever and an American Cocker Spaniel, Dunkin.

Just look at him!!!

Goo goo eyes

Dunkin never fails to look like a princess after grooming.

THIS PICTURE IS EPIC!!!

THEY'RE LOOK STARING AT WYE YEE!!!

Dog Therapy was good that day. Went off to have some good pre-dinner before heading off to ballet practice, at WonderMilk. Our usual, ButterScotch Milk and Potato Jacket.

Went back to the studio, we managed to do some stuns before practice started. We were basically just fooling around most of the time. Good way to work out I guess, good way to get injured and break some bones too come to think about it. Hmmm.

Pose Pose Pose

It really nice to have at least one of you back from time to time. Charmaine's coming back next week, and I'm hoping Elaine too can come back. We need more of this, I need more of this. I miss the 5 of us.

Concert is this Sunday, and we're not even half ready. I'm worried. I'll go missing before concert if I freak out.

MIGF Style Rocks 2011

2011-10-25T15:53:00.000+08:00

Its in the midst of Malaysia's Biggest Fine Dining Festival, and it would be unfortunate to allow this hyped up event to be silent till the big day comes. (Click to read on the launch and beginning of Malaysia International Gourmet Festival, MIGF and fine dishes that were presented). I really can't think of a better idea than to throw a party to keep the excitement going.

The Malaysia International Gourmet Festival together with one of the hottest Fashion Line, Melium Group pulled off a brilliantly mind blowing event, Style Rocks. Not only with the finest food now, but also the finest sense of style with finest companion for the evening.

Style Rocks was held in Euphoria, by Ministry of Sound (MOS). The entrance was packed with people, much more than I expected, to be frank. Party dress code was, Glamorous Rock, ladies that night sure did look gorgeously glam while the gentlemen pulled off a rockingly smart image.

Upon arrival on the red carpet, we were greeted by the photographers, and a warm handshake from Kevin Pedley.

As we entered in the club, a free flow of Magnum Ice Cream was served. Yummy huh. Whats a party without the drinks, free flow of red wine, white wine, beer, jagermeister, baileys and a few others I guess.

The opening show was owned by the gorgeous 13 finalists of Miss Universe Malaysia alongside with none other than the Organizing Chairman of Malaysia International Gourmet Festival, Dato' Steve Day.

Dato' Steve gave a word or two which brought up the excitement in the club. Dato’ Farah Khan, President and Fashion Queen of Melium Group was then invited up spontaneously by Dato Steve Day to join him in his speech.

Hansen Lee, our Emcee for the night did a great job at keeping it going smoothly.

Whats having a fashion event without a runway?

What I find absolutely amazing about this was that the runway show was not done by professional models but friends of Melium Group, which includes, celebrities, fashion icons and friends of the group.

The runway was on HEAT!!!

The surprising appearance of

Chef Wan

For some reason, I was knocked off my feet when he came out. Chef Wan on the Runway. HELL YEAH!

The others that were there as well.

After the awesome runway show was done, they had dancers up on the podium.

I must say that it was a wonderful success, I had a great night and so did everyone else who attended, and seeing Chef Wan on the runway was a highlight for me. I can't wait for MIGF Finale. Excitement is already overwhelming!

If you have been keeping tab on some the recent post I have posted, I recently blogged on Epicure Exhibition and Epicure Day 2 (click to refer), but I left the highlight of the event out. What is it you ask? Many people attended this event just to witness the highlight, the celebrity guest. THE Celebrity Chef. None other than, our very own,

Chef Wan

It was an honour to have his presence there. I remember sitting beside my grandmother when I was much younger watching his cooking session on the channels. Now having to see him cook for real is somewhat reliving my childhood in a whole different way. Reality hits.

From the audience, which includes YAM Tunku Naquiyuddin Tuanku Ja’afar, YAM Tunku Dara Tunku Tan Sri Naquiah Tuanku Ja’afar, Tunku Dato Sri Shahabuddin, Dato’ Kok Wee Kiat, Dato’ Seri Azim Zabidi and the line of media played a big role in supporting his talent.

So what is it that he whipped up?

Always lucky number 3 no?

Chef Wan went on with 3 dishes that was praise with satisfaction from the audience.

His 3 dishes were,

Chicken Tajine
Harira Soup
Kafta Meatballs

Chef Wan showing his audience the ingredients and items he was gonna use for his dishes.

Not only Chef Wan has skills and talent in cooking, he too managed to keep his audience hyped up. Chef Wan was amazing entertaining and made brought laughter from the beginning to the end. One line I remember very clearly from him was,

"If your husband can't give you an orgasm, worry not, I shall give you MULTIPLE orgasm",

with his delicious mouth watering food of course.

Looks delicious right? Hungry yet?

Interaction with audience is important.
