sukiface skin care

i've never gotten so excited before for a facial cleanser..

my package finally arrived after 22 days from the days i ordered it.

it took 7 days to reach the US address at Portland,

then it took another 15 days for VPost to ship to Malaysia.

Took advantage of the christmas promo from http://www.sukiskincare.com/v6/ and http://www.vpost.com/maybank/ which is giving 40% off the shipping fees till end of 2010.

i regretted that i should have bought more and stock up.

i gave some for my mom to try... and she loved it!!

it was not drying and cleans the face....no chemicals and it's all natural!

got the targeted bio-brightening face serum and the bio-active purifying face serum.

the targeted bio-brightening face serum helps with the hyper-pigmentation, scars & spots which i need cos i'm still having scars from my pimples around my jaw and chin area.

loving BFM... loving natural living...

Did I mention that I love.... BFM..

Well, i do!
I've learn so many things and they cover a wide range of topics..

I've just heard an interview on Eco Enzyme. Another step to all natural living...

woo hoo....

I do feel guilty with my purchases of natural skincare products from the states.
The shipment, the fuel, the energy foot print that i'm leaving just for my skin care products.

Will try to wash my face with the eco enzyme solution. and if it works for me..
I would be saving freaking a lot of $$ for my natural skin care products if it works on my skin....

organic products

I've tried using OCM - oil cleansing method before and i can't seem to stick with this regime.
I just didn't feel comfortable wiping the oil off my face with warm towel with heat and all..
I guess i share the same opinion with vivawomen on this matter

I then discover SUKI and ORGANIC APOTAKE from vivawomen.

I just love the feeling for the sugary bits exfoliating my dead skin and dirts without harming my skin with all the chemical from the conventional cleansers out there.
I have very sensitive and oily skin, prone to blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.

After using suki's cleanser, i realize that i have very little whiteheads, less blackhead and just the monthly 'women' pimples.
I've been using this 'all natural' product for the pass month. all i can say that i have no regrets purchasing it...

Now i'm expending my venture to other product line...

Woo Hoo .... to my face..... boo hoo to my wallet

ninja joe

ninja joe

We manage to catch "Prince of Persia" after work on Wednesday.

After hearing from David with no E about Ninja Joe. We decide to try it out ourself.
To my surprise, the burger was not bad.
When we went in, I saw this guy who ordered 6 pcs for him self! Then we realize that the burger was quite small compared to the McD's.
Since we had some food before the movie, we ordered 3 ninja's with fries and lemonade.

Burger was good.
Fries was good.
Lemonade was ok.

We're a Happy customer!

the pink sage

stacked breakfast

Finally, after months of reading about the pink sage, we manage to pay a visit few Sundays ago.

It’s a brand new place at solaris damansara. The place has not been fully occupied yet, so parking was a breeze.

Can’t remember what we ordered. We had *something…. omelette with salmon, stacked breakfast and 3 stack buttermilk pancakes.
I was expecting fresh button mushroom but it came with Chinese mushroom.
The dried kind where you need to soak it before cooking it.
If they were to use can button mushroom also not so bad lar.. but Chinese mushroom.. hmm… That was a bit disappointing.

but i am looking forward to try out their other dishes the next round.

cooking bug

I’ve been surfing at food sites for the past couple of weeks and I found this wonderful site FoodBuzz. I have not “contributed” any recipes on my own yet, but I did found loads of recipes to play with during the weekends.

semi burned oatbar

Was exploring the site, looking at food blogs and wah lah! Found this wonderful and easy recipe to replace my weekly purchase of the oatmeal bar with Dulce de Leche & Oat Apple Bars.

I’ve been trying to find alternative ways to replace my daily emergency snacks.

Been buying this ‘oatmeal bar’, which cost me about RM10 every week to temporally fulfill my hungry while being stuck in the jam.

Since I have these urges to cook, I made my own snacks.

I didn’t manage to snap any pics but one thing for sure.

It taste really good. So, instead of keeping it for this week, it became my teatime meal for that day!

live show

The thing about not having Star World channel available to you is that you have to depend on normal tv station.

And I’ve been watching American Idol at normal tv station. I’m not complaining. The slight problem with normal tv station is that they don’t do live telecast. It’s shown a day later.  I have no problems with that as long as I get to watch it.

Don’t you hate it when people tell you the whole juicy snippets of the show before you get the chance to watch it. It just kills the moment/experience/excitement of watching the show. There’s no more suspension when you watch it….. you get what I mean?

During this time around, all I have to do is avoid certain radio station in the morning while driving and keep away from the newspaper for that day.

So my news updates would be a day delayed.

You see, I’ve been listening to Station A for as long as I can remember. Every morning, while driving to work and being stuck at the traffic jam.

When it comes to American idol season, they would talk about how great or crappy the contestant performed. After a while of listening to it, it killed my suspense’s when I watch the show.

So when it comes to the idol season, I would stop listening to Station A. I would switch to Station B. I guess the Idol fever was everywhere, even Station B was talking about the performance of the contestant of the American Idol.

Until recently, I found a new station. Let’s call it Station C. It was a pretty cool station. It played songs from the 70s to the 90s ….  Mixture of different genre.  Every morning I get to exercise my brain cells.  Get to listen to a bit of world updates.  I am a happy customer.

I thought I found a great station.  Great music, no unwanted news.  And I get to watch my American idol on my fave tv station.

Not till a few hours ago!

Out of the blues, the “wonderful’ DJ at station C decided to tell his listeners about the latest news of the American Idol.

I thought I was listening to a radio station that does not talk about any thing on American Idol. And I gave station C an extra point.

Now that I know who is going to be voted off even before I can watch the performance. There’s no more suspension.

seafood paella

I was suppose to blog about my short trip to Langkawi when I came back but I got sick after the trip for 2 weeks. Then came the wisdom tooth problem.
I blame the cheap beer, liquor and my large consumption of the chocolate intake.
I would love to blame the sun but I won’t. Cos I love the sun!
I blame my self for not drinking enough of water thou. Kekekeke

Anyway I was going thru my pics from the trip.

I can’t help but to drool for the seafood that we had over there.

The fresh fish….crabs….. prawns….. oh my .. and the fat juicy ‘lala’ (clams). I had never tasted such succulent ‘lala’ before. It’s really fresh and it’s huge. Well, bigger then the ones in KL.

I didn’t manage to take much food pics cos I was too hungry most of the time and I just could wait to chomp down all the food.

Anyway, the day we landed our butt at Langkawi, we headed to Tapaz and had our late lunch.

Every time I look at this pic.

seafood paella

I can’t help but to crave for their seafood paella.

Night came and we headed off for our duty free shopping.
I never felt that happy before when we step foot at one of the duty free liquor/chocolate shops.

I felt like a little kid in a huge candy shop. Bottles of liquor all displaying on the shelves waiting for me to take them home. I was aiming for some other liquor to add in to my little bar collection. I’ve been buying Malibu every time I visit the duty free shop at the KLIA.

Going from one shelf to another with excitement, smiling to myself like a crazy girl who has not seen so much cheap liquor in my life before.

It’s not like I have not been to Langkawi duty free shops before. This trip would be my 3rd.

My 1st trip the Langkawi was when I was about 11 or 12 years old. It was with my parents and maybe about 3-4 other families. It was my 1st time taking the airplane.
Ah….. who can forget their 1st.
It was the most horrific experience that I can never forget!

I cried the whole entire flight. My ear drums felt like it was going to burst and I just wanted kill myself there and then to stop the pain.

Long story short, my 

1st trip was too young to experiment with alcohol. All I can remember from that trip is the flight and the beach.

2nd trip. 5-6 years back. A day trip. Spend a night there before heading to Penang. I can’t remember anything from the trip. Except we bought a bottle of liquor which we had to hide it in our dirty laundry bag when we went back.


During this trip, I didn’t know why I was so happy to see all those bottles of liquor. Maybe because I knew that we were going to stay there for 3 days and I can have the chance to try out all the miniature bottle liquors that is the cheap before deciding which to bottle I would bring back to KL.

We bought a couple of miniature bottles to try out. 

Dinner at Kuah town was not that fantastic as the review said. 

It was slightly over price and it the was so so … it was quite a let down.

But the next day’s meal was fantastic.

Had lunch at Islandish Seafood Restaurant.
The crabs and steam thai fish style was wonderful.
We went back to Kuah town at night for another round 

of liquor and chocolate shopping. 

Manage to find another restaurant, Weng Fung Restaurant. 

They serve cheap and good food. We had ostrich meat, fried cabbage with sambal, steam lala, and small oyster.

All in all, food was great. Tried out a few nice drinks and at the end, 

I bought back my fav drink, Malibu. Malibu Pineapple.

post holiday

It’s a horrible feeling to get sick rite after a nice holiday.
Especially, when i can’t stop thinking about the delicious chocolates that i’ve bought.

Thanks to the good sun, good food, cheap alcohol+candy and the lack of sleep, I now have a bad sore throat and cold.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a candy a day

I made a deal with one of my colleague that we would only take a candy for today.

So far, the candy intake :
2 before reaching office.
2 before lunch.
2 after lunch
2 after dinner


Darn!

So far, a candy a day is not working at all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ve told my self that I should stop.
But I just couldn’t. kekeke…
