Recapping 2013, welcoming 2014

it's almost the end of 2013 , and it's time to flash back what happen during my whole 2013 year. Maybe you should do too because it helps you remember all those things that happen and shape you up for what you are now ( :

i pile up all my looks for 2013~

well there's a lot of memorable things that happen during 2013

1. I have endured last two semesters of pain killing STPM (A-levels like) exam and i'm still alive

2. i got my first sponsor in July from Efox city~my first paid sponsor was with Hair extension and my first paid event was with nuffnang (talent corp)~ 

3. My followers had grown from a mere 102 followers to 677 followers within one year

4. I gave up music not because i didn't like it, but because i think i can do better than that ~ LOL! =..=

5. i finally went from a secret disclosed relationship to an almost open relationship with Dan because my parent found out about it (i thought they would kill me) and decided that i'm old enough to have a boyfriend

6. My first time joining 40 cars convoy to Koh Lanta, Thailand~ i ended up having bad diarrhea and almost a quarter of us threw up all over the boat *urgh!*

7. 20 of my classmates came to my house to celebrate mooncake festival and me and my friend bday, i tell you it was amazing how we woke the whole neighborhood up

8.  My first time joining Beauty Pageant even though i am super under-height and i have no idea how to speak proper mandarin . Ended up getting No.6 and Miss Intelligent? haha

and thanks to Butterflyprojectmalaysia for making every blogger's dream happen. all the lovely events and collaboration , i really wish i can join all of them 

and everything happens beautifully at 2013 because of him ( :

i miss going school with him because~~

Breakfast: most of the breakfast everyday to school were all from him

even though i had my mummy's lovely scrumptious delightful breakfast , i sometimes would ate both ! no surprise why i had put on another extra pound for that. 

Dan would wake up early just to accompany me walk the dreadful long road from the student's parking lot to the classroom because it's dark and i reached school before everyone else ~ and he would patiently wait for me to walk me back to the parking lot

and when those days my mum had no idea what to give me for breakfast, Dan would wake up earlier than me and drove all the way to buy me breakfast. and i still complained why he bought me duck rice one time =..=

Many say he is not good looking, but hey~ i personally think after getting to know him better (we were once really close friend, i knew him for 3 years before moving on to our relationship, this is something like  a

a great drama storyline, ahaha) his looks doesn't really matter. everybody likes him ( : he has one of those beautiful heart i ever seen (that doesn't make him sound gayish right?)no seriously, i wish they get to know him better, (i wish they know who i'm referring to) 

he always say "do you want me to buy this for them? i pay ( :"

"go home early, your parents would worry"

awwh~~

my back side recapping look . hahahaha

meaning no more turning back to 2013 anymore ( :

and here's my 2014 wishes ( :

1. to reach 1000 followers via gfc and 500 for bloglovin
2. to save enough from my part time job  to go holiday wee~
3. to buy myself a studio microphone (lol, been wanting that since last two years =..=)
4. to get into the best university T.T and get the course that i want
5. me and my loved ones  happy and healthy!

so have you start your new year's resolution yet?

Epure Membranous Jelly Masque : Review and Advert

Hello readers, today i be reviewing on ePure Membranous Jelly Masque, which is very sensational among celebrities and bloggers out there. 

i had seen lots of people using this product and i was thinking, what is so special about it? 

well, here's my review about it

Firstly first, what is Epure Membranous Jelly Masque?

It is developed by the renowned Dr.Yuong Moy from USA and is the first of its kind facial mask with Active Cellular factor, formulated for intense hydration, increase the skin moisture by 30-50% ( i like that! haha). it works to restore and balance the skin by removing impurities like blackheads or whiteheads. it also inhibit melanin synthesis which lightens pigmentation, balances uneven skin tone and leaves your skin brighter and supple, making you feel fresh and vibrant!. 

YEAH!

but the product is made in Taiwan, all the more it's quite convincing~

do you have uneven skin tones? Yes i do ) :

do you have freckles and pigmentations? i will get it soon! i know it will come one day, best to prevent it now, right?

do you have dark and dull skin? Sure do! it's horrible!

do you have sagging and wrinkled skin? erm, nope, but i'm sure all of us do not want to have it soon. 

The main ingredients for the Jelly masque is : 

(okay incase you happen not to have those magnifying eyes to read those ingredients above, here's the detail:)

Hyaluronic Acid Triple Moist Complex (HA-TMC) 
-Infused with triple concentration of hyaluronic acid with a blend of two hyaluronic acid molecular weights to assist in penetration.
- replenishes the skin's moisture reservoir and minimizes the skin pores-stimulates the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid
- protects against elastin degradation to maintain the skin's firmness
-regulates and repair cell growth
-helps wound heal faster and minimizes the look of scars.

Seaweed Extract
- high in anti-bacterial properties to detoxify the skin whilst promoting circulation.
- high in B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12 to reduce inflammation and redness.
- packed with high concentrations of minerals such as fluorine magnesium and calcium to maintain the skins moisture balance- which is neither too dry or too oily.

Alpha Arbutin 
-a skin whitening agent for skin de-pigmentation -reduces melanin from reacting to sunlight.
- treats allergic inflammation of the skin.
- treats sunburn marks and regulates melanogenesis
-protects the skin against damage caused by free radicals

Jojoba Leaf Extract
- a powerful anti oxidant to defend against skin damage
- rich in vitamin A, D, E to smoothen the skin and gets rid of excessive dryness
- reduces fine lines & wrinkles

éPure Natural Vanilla scent
- soothe emotional tension
- relaxes the nerve system and brain
- improve overall mood and well being

(no wonder i smell vanilla scent when i apply the mask! it's such a nice smell i believe i can eat it if it's edible)

okay, so ready to see my disgusting naked face ? 

*prepare some plastic bucket in case you might puke*

DARK AND DULL UNEVEN SKIN TONE!

seriously very dark after i viewed this photo back at the camera. *cries*

Instructions to use :

1. After washing of face, apply toner as the base (apply serum for a better effect)

2. use scrapper to evenly mask the whole face with thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 cm. Apply more on the tip of the nose and T-zone or pigment area. 

3. scrape the mask off gently with downward motion after 30-45 mins 

(after your second time with the mask you can reduce it to 25 mins) then rinse off thoroughly and pat your face dry

4. Apply toner and complete skin care regime

for best result use it 3-4 times a week (oily skin)

2-3 times a week (dry skin)

so i guess combination skin like mine will use around 3 times a week

First up first, i washed my face and put on my toner

and it's time to get into action~

*snip snip* 

O.o

use a scrapper to scrape the Jelly and apply it to your face. 

it looks quite little, but trust me, i can't even use it finish even though my face are is like so big (not to be exaggerating, haha) so clip it nicely and store it in the fridge for further use, because it's quite pricey, you don't want to waste it right?

First time i applied it, it smells so nice! like vanilla ice cream, seriously! i can totally take a straw and stuck it inside the packet and drink the whole thing up! hahaha (again, exaggerating) 

it's quite cooling and it really doesn't feel sticky at all~ you can go around the house with it for 30-40 minutes, but of course, better don't go touching your face with dust or anything. 

extra attention on my nose because i seriously hate my blackheads.

after that! tadaa~~instant brightness. 

of course, you can't take away my yellowish skin tone, but hey if you ever compare to the before picture, it really did it's work. 

no editing! same lighting~~

i'm amaze how by just one time, i did some magic. 

i wonder what will happen if i continuously use it for approximately one month? 

and the picture collage i put together. 

lalalalala

Interested in getting one of these?

you can have it in a box (which is 6 packs of mask)

or a jar)

(after posting ugly pictures of myself, time to beautify this blog post with this picture! )

http://fatiguechic.blogspot.com/2013/12/dressale-giveaway.html

anyway! happy boxing day! wee

how did you celebrate your christmas yesterday? 

i celebrated it at the newly open Seoul Garden in my hometown

it's really big to all of us because normally this small hometown would not cater any grand branch like Seoul Garden to enter in this remote area

so i would definitely like to spent my dinner there !

after our movie "police story" by Jackie Chan, me , Dan, Esther and Low the big butt went to Seoul Garden to eat for our Christmas dinner. 

can't believe the price and even drinks are not free ! (dayum!) you have to pay extra rm4 for refillable drinks. 

and each person cost around RM42 

yeah, after one hour 30 minutes, all four of us gave up eating. 

the kimchi soup was horrible, should have ordered Tomyum instead. 

but the rest was okay, i recommend the BBQ chicken(sweet), don't touch the coffee chicken, it's nasty! black pepper squid taste weird too, but the rest was okay. i like their curry chicken too. 

not to mention i have two servings of ice cream filled with cornflakes and the nugget taste like cardboard. 

hahah

not a very good feedback eh?

 my look for that day, 

yeah,i failed to do my eyebrow nicely again =..= ended up looking like crayon sin chan. 

if you know who he is . it's him (below)

damn =..= 

haha

Me and Esther~my outfit for Christmas night. 

erm quite casual right? haha

i'm still in love with cut out blouse or dress, look pretty feminine

and last selfie picture for today's post!

loving the orange lip tint by peripera. 

it's selling cheap now like literally half the price slash down already haha

anyway, i got this today too!

by Natta Cosme~ Cerro Qreen make up brush set!i was so happy when i was selected .  wee! i finally got myself a make up brush set! it's so pinkish and they even sent me ferrero rocher chocolate ! 

thanks thanks!

happy boxing day readers!

Merry Christmas to all my readers!

Merry Christmas to all my readers!

soon it's going to be the new year again!

have you start your new year resolution yet?

well i haven't but i have lots to think back for this year. 

just a minute ago i had just visited one particular blog that started off some sort of chain links to my blog. 

without her comment i don't think there will be a connection between my blog to the outside world . After that, my blog started to be filled up with international bloggers and readers out there. thanks Ankyls for this ((: 

do  you tend to realize that once you commented on one particular post of another blogger, 

two or three more bloggers are going to visit you back ?

this is what i call chain links. 

but don't get me wrong, i don't like spam links, but i love blog walking. 

sometimes i blog walk into a different type of blogs that are totally different than what most of us do. 

sometimes i blog walk to some that shared the same interest as me. 

blog walking opens up my eye, there are more you can do than just a blog. 

but do not forget yourself , today i read one particular article in the STAR newspaper, from one of my favorite local blogger : Chien Teng. She said somehow we tend to blog to attract our audience more than writing for ourselves and our purposes. 

true

a blog suppose to be for yourself

so i am back here again after strings of adverts~

to pull myself back to where i came from , not just an advertising platform, but my 'public diary'. 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Penang Street Art and interactive museum

hello, today i be blogging about my one day trip to Penang, the pearl of Malaysia. i live quite near there so ever since i'm on 9 months holiday (yeah that long!) i have been going to and fro to Penang like my second home already. But this trip is more special, why? because i'm going with Dan, my bestie Jovelle and her boyfriend. 

my main motive to go there was not to shop because i had done enough shopping at Penang before that, but to go to the street art mural and visit the newly open 3D interactive museum. 

(picture above was one of my favorites!)

okay we were lost in search of Mugshot cafe, but then it didn't turn up like we expected it to be. the shop people didn't even give a blink of an eye to us because why? there are more tourists there so who cares about the locals right? so slightly disappointed we went to First avenue and had our heavy breakfast there. 

we leave Jovelle and her boyfriend to shop while me and Dan went back to street art and had my dream come true . haha

first shot of it. 

i was also disapointed, why? because some popular street art like the two children on a swing, two man on a motorbike, the one with the basketball, a giant cat, the one on a trishaw and many more. 

Dan was so tired, he keep complaining that he sweats so i didn't want to bug him to walk more ~

listening to the voice of Penang~

The lion dance, very famous for chinese new year occassion

i bet a lot of hello kitty fan would go HEY! i want to pose with that too!

Hello! awwh, this was the first minion painted around here. haha

i don't mind getting my face dirty, lol!

and i notice alot of this black metal thing around the whole place, but a lot of people ignore it , i don;t understand why, i think it's pretty cool. 

look! there's even a vintage toy museum, of course i didn't go in because i didn't have much time. 

crayon sin chan!

Dan shoot at a very bad angle, 

okay, why no Dan picture here? haha because he's very shy and there are A LOT of tourist there, so many until you have to take turns to snap a picture. 

Later on we meet up with Jovelle and her bf at Gurney Drive. While waiting for her, me and Dan spotted a toy machine where you have to play the machine to grip on the toy. 

there are two machines that cater for BIG toys. i was eyeing on one big fat minion, but after one try (cost us Rm2) we couldn't get that fat minion out because it's too heavy. 

so we went to try the small soft toys and yeah, this blue little guy was caught just after the second try. 

weee~

then i went shopping for awhile, Dan bought me two blouses for Chinese New Year instead for Christmas and i bought him one shirt as a christmas gift in return. 

Then we went to eat at BBQ plaza, i didn't know it is from Thailand until i heard the worker greeting customers with "sawadeeka"

the food was ok, but the bacon was beyond awesome. I LOVE BACON! but the only thing weird was, how come they give us soup that taste like plain tap water?

that's because IT IS JUST PLAIN WATER. 

or did we forgot to add in anything to it? 

like literally the udon noodles just taste disgusting with plain water as soup =..=

then it's time to split up again with my babe. 

because she wanted to shop for new year clothes and i wanted to go to the museum . 

so here we go again. 

at the main entrance of the museum, snapping picture with this is still free!

hi Dan,

well i forgot to bring my identification card so after rendering with the girl at the counter that i'm a Malaysian, she finally closed one eye and let me pass with Rm10 as admission fee. 

The herritage of Penang~

but! people go to this museum with one good reason, to pose with their 3D looking art! wee, me with the coconut and a badly snap shot by Dan again =..=

the great canon bomb! bOOM

not much people there, why? because it's 30 minutes before closing when we're there. 

which is a good thing, we do not have to wait for our turn to snap photos. 

The mirror effect, awwh so sweet =..=

Dan, you're suppose to hold the luggage trolley, not play with the ghost's head =..=

hello~

Durian. the king of Malaysia's fruit. 

i don't eat Durian nor can i even stand the smell of it. haha

oh you got to love this. 

how's the effect? pretty cool huh? wonder how we got this shot taken? 

we were actually lying  down the floor and the person ask us to lift our leg to look even real . 

woots! 

nah nah, we're not getting married so calm down . haha Dan posted this on his facebook and literally the 'likes' had more than we expected to. 

it be even more if he dare tag my name in that picture, haha but i'm still keeping it low profile though~ many relatives in my facebook, i don't want them to stalk around. 

Dan, do you even know who he is? haha

no i don't know who he is even if i look closer. 

this is also quite a nice shot taken by one of the workers there. 

i look really tiny right? haha

yay! Snap shot with Lim Guan Eng~ haha 

well i had a great trip there, i appreciate Dan for driving me back home in one piece, because before even reaching Penang, he had complaint that he's so tired. why? because he went to watch The Hobbit with his dudes at midnight and show ended around 1.30 in the morning =..=

well, i make sure to keep him awake by singing at the top of my voice when we drove back. i even slapped  him to keep him awake. HAHAHA~ we went back literally broke, so we shared a pot of claypot and i complain it's not enough for me =..='

but anyway, thanks for everything Dan. from bringing me to here there and everywhere and snapping pictures for me even though i know it's a very tedious job  to snap me all the time. 

well then, after two days, mummy was so bored so Dad wanted to bring her go street art too. i had plans that afternoon with my Kolej's friends, but i sacrifice for mummy's sake because she is not feeling well these days. 

so we went in to the museum again =..=

like why am i here again 

but i miss this shot, so yeah, here you go! this is quite an intelligent shot, but hey, i ain't telling the secret on how we manage to snap this, go check it out yourself (( :

it was so burning hot that day, so yeah, we didn't go for any street art, just this wall and Chew Jetty for some shots. 

Chew Jetty~

What i wore that day~ hee
