Big Girl Don't Cry

09/09/2009

It's a special day because it happened only once in a few thousand years! However, not for everybody (Vincent & Meisan), they're those minority who never realise how special is it. Anyway for me, because I'm all alone, so nothing special for me too. I hope he can understand a little bit of spice can give our relationship a spark! (inspired by Chiaw Wei)

热恋，我好久都没有过了..... 已经忘了那曾经熟悉的感觉......

Eye nutrition

My eye serum is estimated to be finished 1-2 months later. So I started to google around to do some surveys since I'm really really FREE (no further lab works until the cells grow). My eye bags and dark circles are really getting worst but I ain't rich, I can't just throw away the stuff I bought just because it's not EFFECTIVE. I think I've made mistake twice in choosing eye gel/serum/cream. Both brightening snow eye serum from Skinfood & brightening eye serum from Bodyshop are not working! My first eye gel, Bioessence, that I see some positive results. Anyway, now it's the time to hunt for a brand new one. My budget is limited, around 80-120 bucks perhaps. BUT, after I searched online, those products which have good review are all >RM 180 (T.T)

1. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eyes- RM 185
2. Laneige Perfect Renew Eye Cream Day N Night- RM 200
3. La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream- NA

Money, money, where are you?

My haircare

Back to a month ago, I received some compliments from friends on my healthy and shiny hair. They thought I must had put on some wax on my hair for that glossy-kind of appearance. Anyway, I didn't use any wax. I had been using JS haircare product for almost a year now. I only realised its effect when others commented. *so dumb am I* Below are the haircare product I'm using, I hope it will be useful.

First of all, we'll need a daily shampoo. I've chosen JS Exclusive Treatment Shampoo for Coloured, Perm & Damaged Hair because I regularly colour my hair once in a half year. It claims to contain moisturizers, protein and conditioners to restore the natural balance of the hair to give soft, shiny and moistured hair. It's also mild to minimize colour fading after each wash. I think it is effective in repairing damaged hair & moisturizing (my hair is not dry and no damaged end) but not so for lessen colour fading.

Then, after each wash, I will use JS Exclusive 60 seconds Carrot Soft Masque as substitute for hair conditioner. It contains keratin, proteins and carrot extracts to condition the hair from within and restore the hair to its fullest, healthiest and most beautiful state. It can be used on all hair types for immediate conditioning an detangling. This hair masque is really useful as it only require as short as 1 min for application, and I think that this is the thing that make the hair shiny and healthy ;)

Price-wise, it is affordable. I bought it at a haircare product shop near Wangsa Maju station and they always have this 'Buy 1 Free 1' promotion (shampoo+masque) at about RM 80. Price may vary but you can always negotiate with them. Each of the product contains 1000ml, for me the shampoo I can finish only after 6-8 months whereas the masque will be even longer, about 10-12 months. So, I guess it's kinda worthy for that.

So, after use you might get effect like this. *Bling Bling*

Where?

Having dilemma in choosing destination for our grad trip.

And finally we narrowed down to 3 choices:

1. Taiwan

2. Vietnam

3. China

Which I want? Taiwan, a country that I'm familiar with because of the languange, the culture & also the people. However, sw claimed that it's not as fun as what'd been shown in all the Taiwan show on tv. So........

Vietnam, a very interesting country, laid-back enough and low-budget. However, they speak alien language, their transportation is not convenient and food might not be matching our taste.

China, a very historical country which I wish to view with my own eyes of those magnificient places. However, x'mas is an anti-china fellow.

Ahh.. it's hard to meet everyone's favour. Anyway, we will come to a final decision on Monday. I better do more research online & pick the best choice for the trip!

Make-up for Lappie

My first notebook was about 3 years ago, which dad bought me before I entered university.

Without it, I might not be surviving outstation. It's my best entertainment source, from music, dramas to news, sports and entertainment shows! Of course, not forgetting it helps me in my portfolios, lab reports, PBL notes, proposal and now thesis. After all these years, this is how it looks like now........

Hmm... the paint is fading at the palmrest area... and also the cover.... (Yeah I know it looks like being abused by me) I admit that when i get frustrated or too excited when playing a game online, I will just smash it, pretty hard =.="

Anyway, despite the ugly appearance, it can still function properly, at least I'm still satisfy with the performance. Vincent's laptop at last broke down and he bought a new DELL. It's brand new & attractive with superb specs. The most important is it's cheaper than mine! Okay fine... I'm not going to jealous. So when we're shopping in the computer hardware shop in lowyat, I came across with the newly released product- laptop skin (it might be out there quite some time, but i only know till now). It's pretty convenient to apply to your lappie and costs 10 bucks only. So I said: why not give it a try? and here it is........

and yeah... this is the make-up for my lappie. Hope it likes the brand new look :)

Tips: Do not buy transparent one. It's really hard to apply if you're not skillfull enough. Bubbles are everywhere. Solid will be better & it's only recommended if your lappie is really old and awful. I definitely will not stick thing like tat if my laptop is brand new like Vincent's one.

The Proposal

Don't be scared! I'm not talking about my research thing of proposal this time. It's the recent shown love romance comedy- THE PROPOSAL. Though it'd been showing for quite some time, I only got to watch it yesterday with X'mas. I've heard so many good reviews from others and surprisingly it's really an extraordinary hilarious, romantic love story! *thumbs up*

"The Proposal", starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, a publishing executive (Bullock) forces her assistant (Reynolds) to marry her so she can avoid deportation back to Canada. Ryan Reynolds is damn cutie and he really attracted me in the movie (love him very much!) while Sandra Bullock, I think she's a bit old for Ryan. Nevertheless, she could hold the very feminist character in the movie. I was laughing my heart out throughout the movie (sorry for those people in the cinema), I just couldn't hold myself back from all those hilarious scenes. I love watching how innocent Andrew was when he's being forced to marry Margaret. I love watching Margaret, the cocky one, torturing Andrew and walked with her super high heels. I love to see Margeret was threatened by Andrew to kneel down and propose to him and a lot a lot more!!!

Here are some memorable quotes from the movie:

Margaret Tate: I am not getting in that boat!
Andrew Paxton: Fine, see you in three days.
Margaret Tate: You know I can't swim!
Andrew Paxton: Hence... the *boat*.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Andrew Paxton: [referring to the story about how he proposed to Margaret] You know what? Actually, Margaret loves telling this story, so I'm just gonna let her go ahead and do that. We should just sit and rapture.
Margaret Tate: Wow, okay... wow, where to begin... the story... Well, um, wow... Okay, well, um, Andrew and I... Andrew and I were about to celebrate our first anniversary together and I knew that he'd been itching to ask me to marry him and he was scared, like a little tiny bird. So, I started leaving him little hints here and there because I knew he wouldn't have the guts to ask..
Andrew Paxton: That's not exactly how it happened.
Margaret Tate: No?
Andrew Paxton: No, no, I mean I picked up on all of her little hints... this woman is about as subtle as a gun. Yeah, no what I was worried about was that she might find this little box...
Margaret Tate: Oh, the decoupage box that he made, where he'd taken the time to cut out twenty little pictures of himself, just pasted all over the box. So beautiful! I opened that beautiful little decoupage and out fluttered these tiny little hand cut heart confettis and once they cleared, I looked down and I saw the most beautiful, big...
Andrew Paxton: ...fat nothing! No ring.
Grandma Annie: No ring?
Grace Paxton: What?
Andrew Paxton: No, but inside that box, underneath all that crap, a handwritten note with the address to a hotel, date and time. Real Humphrey Bogart type stuff. Masculine. Naturally, Margaret, she thought...
Margaret Tate: I thought he was seeing someone else... so it was a terrible time for me, but I went to that hotel anyway, I went there and I pounded on the door. But the door was already unlocked. As I swung open that door, there he was...
Andrew Paxton: Standing.
Margaret Tate: Kneeling.
Andrew Paxton: Like a man.
Margaret Tate: On a bed of rosebuds, in a tuxedo. Your son. Your son... and he was choking back soft, soft sobs. And when he held back the tears and finally caught his breath, he said to me...
Andrew Paxton: 'Margaret, will you marry me?' and she said 'yep', the end!

Margaret Tate: What am I allergic to?
Andrew Paxton: Pine nuts, and the full spectrum of human emotion.

Andrew Paxton: Margaret, will you marry me? Because I'd like to date you.

Not forget to mention the house of Andrew in Alaska, it's a very traditional western style of home. Me and X'mas so want to live in such place, even just for a week! Yeah, I know we're day-dreaming. Hehe XD
