Meteor shower tonight!

OMG OMG OMG!!

Meteor shower tonight!! 

Its the annual Perseids meteor shower, which peaks on Aug 11 and 12. Tonight is a crescent moon which makes viewing easier. 

After 11 pm folks. For Malaysians. 

Other countries go Google it!!

Ok too excited cannot talk. See if I can persuade Cs to bring me to Damai. Haha. I wish.

Ok bye.

Sea of Monsters



Cs and I went to watch Sea of Monsters. The second installment of the Percy Jackson series. I wrote about it here. Go read if you need a mini introduction to Percy Jackson.

Anyway. Back track a bit. During the evening, we both already had a few beers to drink with dinner, then we decided to go watch the 12am show. In 3D btw. Big mistake.

I was struggling to stay awake.

The movie was quite a disappointment. It was so different from the book. Guess I should be used to it by now, but I'm not. Oh well. If I don't compare it to the book, then the movie is ermm..well still ok. Wouldn't want to watch it a second time though.

I forgot when was the last time I went to watch a movie at 12 am. Long time already. Nowadays we aim for early evening shows. (So this is what aging feels like). Some more we had beer beforehand. Dumb and dumber really.

The other day I asked Winnie, which series do you like more? Harry Potter or Percy Jackson?

She thought for a while and said Percy Jackson. I agreed.

Cs, who was sitting nearby, was so shocked. He went HUH?! Cos he knows us two and our love for Harry Potter. In our minds, no other author beats JK Rowling, and there are no other books we have read more than HP.

But yeah. I guess its because there are more action in Percy Jackson? Or have I (finally) become sick of HP? No. Unlikely. JK Rowling is still a genius, but I didn't read the casual vacancy. I tried but couldn't finish it.

Do you guys know she has a new book? The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (who is in fact JK Rowling). I'm waiting for the paperback to come out so I can buy it. The hard cover costs RM 90 plus. So expensive. Did they (publishers) print hardcovers on purpose to get more revenue? Pfft. Imma wait for the RM 30 plus version.

Btw, when the HP books came out, they were all about RM 90 plus. I paid up willingly for that though. And yes, I would do it again.

Ok that was an update.

Was talking to Shirley just now and I said I'm getting lazier to update my blog. She said: ya, I can tell. Pfft. So this is because of you woman! :) Miss you.

Bye.

Kay-elle and new hair

Hello. 

This is past due. I'm so sorry. I tried blogging from my phone but I'm so not used to it yet. I would type in a whole paragraph and upload some photographs but nothing was saved cos I pressed the back button. On my iPhone, if I pressed the home button, everything would still be there. Haih. So that's what I'm blaming this on.

Anyway!

Like I mentioned, I'm a lucky bitch. Cs whisked me off to KL. On MAS no less. That's cos Air Asia was more expensive. Go figure. Low cost airline with lousy service ends up being more pricey than the airline with free food and duty free items.

Free food. Yayers. Chicken briyani was wayy more popular than the fish. Fair warning to you. :)

Oh ya. Remember the L'occitane items that I'm so in love with recently. The night cream that I bought for about RM 330 in Kuching costs about RM 250 in KLIA. Wtf rite? I bought a day time cream and a day mist thingy which set me back RM 400+. Damn pricey. Haih what we women do for beauty. 

I don't have any photos but just do your research online if you want to find other reviews on it. I'm saying its good la, but you might not agree.

Speaking of, I dyed my hair too in KL. I was so sick of my boring old hair style. Which was, nothing actually. Boring old grown out roots and brown hair. Mehh. 

I went to a saloon and got it dyed ombre. Mehh. I wanted it more gradient actually. They fucked up. Actually no lah. Those two guys were quite nice. Instead of fucked up, I shall say that they decided to dip dye my hair instead of giving me a proper gradient hair colour. Btw, in no circumstance did I mention dip dye. I hate dip dye. I wanted something more gradual. Grrr..

Ohh well. Cs seems to like it. That is why I didn't go back to get my free coloring again..They said I was entitled to free colouring within 2 weeks FOC. Oh well. I'm liking it when I have make up on, but very self conscious - thinking its quite ah lian actually when I don't have make up on.

Right after I dyed my hair, I took these photos. Because, why not?

I was determined to feel good about myself. Hence, these photos. Hahah sorry. Cs understands. Ahem.

The colours look a bit different in photos cos of the lighting. In real life, it looks ermm..well I don't know. I avoid mirrors because I don't really like it. I think I'll just cut it all off when I'm really sick of it. Heh. Typical.

The "beauty face" feature on my S4 is quite ridiculous. Look at my skin. So smooth. :D And so fake.

This was a normal shot btw. I mentioned before. L'occitane. Get it. Expensive but so good! :)

Tell me I don't look like a chao ah lien.

When I told the guy who did my hair that I look like an "ah lian", he said no laa..and proceeded to tell me stories of his other customers. It took a while for me to realize, ohh..he thought I meant "alien", not "ah lian". HAHAH.

Anyway, I'll tell you more about my trip next time.

Night.

Surprise!

Mum and Winnie are going for their Europe trip today. Me, I'm wallowing. I'm sorry, I also don't know why I'm like this. For the next 10 days, I will be thinking of them day and night, what are they doing, which country are they in now, is it cold there or hot, and what are they eating, did they buy anything for me, do they miss Cherrie, and so on and so forth. Haha.

The victim here is not me. Its Cs actually. He has to hear me whine about going too. Cs and I were supposed to go, but meh. I was quite unimpressed with the tour. I want to plan my own epic trip. Lol. Overachiever. Kiasu. Yeah, that's me. Also, we didn't have the budget to go (main point). Hahaha.

Anyway, I have a consolation. Because I have the most awesome husband ever, Cs surprised me with a trip to KL!! Tomorrow!!

Its supposed to be my surprise birthday trip, and it coincides with our ROM. 8 August. The day we signed on that piece of paper.

I was doing my thing (whining) during our whatsapp conversation (poor Cs), and I think he got fed up (sorry baby), so he print screened the MAS ticket for me.

I saw it in the office. As I was reading it, I could feel myself smiling from inside out. Hehehe /shy.

But yeah, happy me. Feel so lucky. :)

Yayers! Four days vacation ahead, and 3 of them in KL. Thank you baby.

Leftover 2 slices of pizza from the night before for lunch is yum. Was so looking forward to lunch. In the morning, when I reheated the pizza, Cs walloped 2 slices immediately.

It smelled so good. I could barely contain myself. Have to keep waiting for 12:30 pm. Heh.

Happy Raya to anyone who is celebrating. 

Happy Holidays to everyone! 

Bye.

I'm going to go pack. Or finish packing. :)

From the new place

Hello. So I have finished moving house already. 

I'm typing from the new place already. The past week has been tiring and exhausting. Cs and I went back on Friday night for a final goodbye. Took photos, brought over our remaining stuff, and tried not to cry (me).

The bittersweet feeling passed quite quickly. Well, not really. I just try not to dwell on it. Besides, we had no time to dwell. We were sort of thrown into it. Meh. Oh well. I didn't even go to the pool one last time. Oh well. Not that missing it.

 

Panoramic shot taken by Cs. Feel like crying looking at these photos. Dammit all that talk about getting over it already. 

But its so damn messy. We stripped the house almost bare in the end. Cs was being too nice to the new owners. He was picking up rubbish here and there, throwing out things, whereas I try to make it look as bad as I can. =.= Women.

He even wanted to wash the toilets before we left, but I was like:

 

 NO! NO WAY!! I'm putting my foot down. Hahah women again. I sound damn ngiau ci. (Stingy)

 

 

 These days, we are just busy unpacking and getting used to our new "phase" of life now. 

***

I'll take photos around the house next time. This house I mean.

Its a Sunday afternoon. On days like these, we just laze around at home. I have Pacific Rim on as background noise now, and we just finished watching Grown Ups 2 just now. Well, I did. He fell asleep halfway. 

Last night I went over to Rita's place to party. Hahaa "party" is used very loosely here. Basically we all brought food. I made potato salad; Winnie made pasta salad; mum brought midori and some soda; Janet and Angela brought fried noodles, fried chicken ass, glizzards; Rita made kachangma (this I don't know how to describe or translate to English - its mostly taken by women after giving birth during the confinement period); and Mag made pork ribs. Definitely the highlight of last night.

After eating, we started drinking. Had tequila (its been a while for most of us), Midori, Kahlua (so sweet though, and lastly beer.

 

 

Last night. My skin is not that awesome. That was the result of S4's "beauty face" feature. Kah Ling was trying it out (she's using S3 btw and was trying to test the difference), and immediately she went wow! Haha it makes your skin looks awesome immediately. Cheat one.

 

 

This was taken with the normal camera. Ok not that much difference lah but I can tell. 

Speaking of this, I recently tried this new cream. It is SO GOOD that I stopped using my other skin care products, and am thinking of converting everything (toner, sun screen, foundation, powder, everything) if I can. Only thing is it is so pricey. Haih typical isn't it?

 

 This little tub costs RM 300+ I don't remember the exact amount. But yeah. Splurge. Both my parents used this, and they said it was awesome.

My mum tries a lot of skin care products so I trust her. If she says its awesome, its awesome. So I did my research online, and finished up my existing night cream, then went over to Spring and got myself one as well.

I have only been using it for 2 weeks? But I could tell the difference after week one. My skin felt smoother, and fairer. That was the case for me la. It might not work for you. :) Sharing is caring eh? 

Ok bye for now.
