Short Getaway to KL- GEM 邓紫棋 XXX world tour.

Hello Hello Darlings! Chinese New Year is coming, so 恭喜发大财! My CNY is rather special this year because I'll be travelling to Singapore on CNY Day 1 for few days. 

Few weeks ago, I went for a short getaway to KL, Malaysia, as I got a sponsored ticket from a lucky draw. So it's a good chance for me to stock up my cosmetics and had a meet up for a business discussion. This trip is pretty rush, I have to settle everything in that 3D2N trip, as it's so hard to travel abroad now because....working lifeeeeee. *BOO* 

My shopping was quite rush too. I have to appreciate time and not stay too long at a shop. So there were times that I just hantam grab the no-trying-outfits, and the end of the day I realised I got few clothes which have a similar design =.= 

Since I was in KL, so why not watch the GEM's XXX concert!? Although I'm not a big fan, but she's a talented woman whose concert is worth to watch la. And me no regret, because the show was awesome, the songs were good, the effect was good. But I believe it would be better if it's in another country, like Hong Kong. In Malaysia, the resources are quite limited. 

Happy to see Hannah again. and also some of my classmates and tutors in the make up academy.  But due to the limited time, didn't have too much time to spend with them. 

I got myself a GEM shirt.

 The crowd

 She spoke too much Chinese. She asked if we speak Cantonese, the audience said Yes, then she spoke Canto. After she sang a Chinese song, she spoke Chinese again. Because she was famous in China, and a lot of shows she spoke Chinese, and maybe this caused her habit. 

Cantonese is so much nicer lo. Hong Kong artist wa, should speak Cantonese. 

Anyway, the show was still great. 

The next day, I had breakfast with the two Bruneian guys, at this famous Teo Chew Porridge restaurant. 

Located near Times Square, KL. You can ask around, the people know it well!

The pork was so good. 

It's not my first time dining in porridge restaurant in Malaysia. Actually M'sia has a lot of porridge restaurant which is yummilicious. 

Brunei should have one eh, so good for supper and breakfast.

 Lit How went for a tattoo. Actually, we planned to do it together. I asked my mom if she mind, I don't want to see her cry after I got inked, which gonna make me feel guilty. So she's fine with it. 

What about my dad? I guess he's fine with it, I didn't have the guts to ask him LOL. Why I think he's fine with it because he asked me few years ago if I wanna get inked. I was like "No way! so painful!"

Then recently, I just feel like I wanna get one. Just a small one. So I'll get it only when I'm fully ready. Oh man, this is gonna be permanent, I have to think twice, trice and frice. 

In M'sia must have happy hour right? haha 

This very nice place named Why Not at Changkat. Actually it's like usual bar la, but it looks super nice in this pic.

The Dick is very good in researching places to go, or maybe he's just good in researching hotels, I'm not very sure LOL So we went to visit this creative boutique hotel. It's owned by an artistic couple, they studied arts and created this hotel. I always like creative people, they always make something usual become very interesting. The wall is created by colour cups.

Welcome to WOLO.

The washroom is very cozy, I think I can have a good sleep inside. 

 This is the washroom label. Actually I don't really get it.

The Dick was talking about penis but I guess it could be Foods that goes in, must come out as a poo. 

So what it means?

 The cigar section.

This place is really artistic that made us kept taking pictures here and there. 

 Trying hard to selfie when he said "My turn!" He's obsessed with his new ink.

Sometimes life is too mainstream you just need to be 38 a bit.

 I know some people are gonna comment this, this is my space anyway. 

but....I look chio in that angle ^^ 

The receptionist treated us some WOLO refreshing drinks. He knew we were tired from taking pictures. haha

My fav photo of the trip. 

Watch the vlog of my trip with some GEM scenes:

Till next post. Smooooch! ^^

Happy 2015!

*Singing* Rudolph the red nose reindeer...*trying to make the holiday feel*

...Have a very shiny nose~~~ 

Trying to make some holiday feel so you have that mood to read the below haha.

I'm such an irresponsible blogger. So my new year resolution is to be a more responsible blogger ^^ *smile widely*. Writing is not hard, what's troublesome are the pictures editing and resizing. 

Christmas is always my all time favorite celebration. Because receiving gifts are happy, and of course it's awesome to get and send gifts to the loves too. I like buying gifts for individual, it always feel great.

What I don't enjoy that much is getting gifts for gift exchange. Damn, I don't even know who I'm giving to. I have to get something bisexual and for all age. But receiving gifts at gift exchange are always exciting and full of surprises.

My first gift for Arthur. It's a toy of shapes. From my research, it's good for babies. They would feel a sense of satisfaction and achievement when they put the right shape to the right hole. Yes, he likes it very much, I can see from his expression when he received that. :P

My family, although Buddhist, we actually celebrate every year as half of my family is ang moh-ish. We love Xmas and it's a good excuse to have a family gathering and fun.

 I got facial masks.

Our dress code is "FLORAL". I was thinking, what about guys?

Never thought guys can have a nice floral shirt too.

See his beh song face hahah

My big family ready for games!

Best dress of the night voted by the maids, because my grandma had a hard time choosing the Best Dress. She wanted to be fair. hehe

My cousin made these cute props. 

Celebrated at Ivan's house too. 

Got a red wine!

And also celebrated with my colleagues, more like company gathering la. So I had a Christmas marathon in 2014 :)

My gifts this year: Hello Kitty dustbin and floor mat from Carol, I got lots of facial masks this year, and also Instax printer from the Dick!

It's nice in reality. Because it's like a pearly bling bling white. It's a polaroid photo printer connected to your phone through Wifi. So you can print any pics from your phone!

I don't often celebrate New Year Eve but this year, I was able to shake my ass in the musics with my darlings in Miri.

So we went to Rooftop at Meritz Hotel, it was our first time and would be the last time. Still, Celebrities is better. Rooftop doesn't have enough feel like the club, the sound system wasn't as good as CB, the service was slow as the too crowded and the baristas couldn't cope, people were Q-ing and complaining, and the musics were not suitable for us. haha 

The music is electro, I still prefer bands and musics with lyrics. 

After 12am, after the fireworks, we went Celebrities for 2nd round.  

I like my hair that night, and my make up I did it much more heavier than usual but in the pics looks normal. 

Looking like some group artist music cover here, Westlife? hahaha

Met my long lost junior+ my-pretty-friend, May. 

with the en dao *lovey dovey eyes*

with the King Kong. 

(why the name? Because their sur name is King and Kong)

I wish 2015 is better than 2014, I wish my work, my dream, my relationship, my health and ding ding dong dong all go smooth this year and every year in the future. I wish my family and friends and all my darlings (I mean you all la) have a happy 2015 and be healthy, that's the most important. 

Happy New Year and stay tune for my next post SOON :) 

Finally met Baby Arthur

I feel so guilty and unbelievable for not updating for a month, how can that happen!? Every time I wanna blog but just too tired to do so (Damn, I'm like saying this in every post, but it's true). It takes me few hours to write a good post, so yea. 

Finally I met this little boy, Arthur, after 9 months. If you don't know, he's Carol's son. He smiles always and is a very cute boy. I don't see toys in their house when I visited them, aiya, this Carol ah, she didn't buy any toys for him. But recently I saw some toys with Arthur through online so I believe his mom had bought him some.

I last seen Carol in March when she was still pregnant. Then one day she fell sick. Brunei doctors couldn't cure her then she went to Kuching. Although I went to her house the day before she went to Kuching, but I didn't see her as she was really unwell. I texted her the day she went to Kuching but for two days she didn't reply and she seemed like didn't even see her phone. Till I saw a post on Facebook which was really shocking and broke my heart. She was in ICU and in coma. She got tonsils but it's way more dangerous than normal patient who got tonsils. It was scary.

Every day I got Carol's situation updated from the sister. It can be a good news today, and bad news the next day. So my mood was like a roller coaster. I felt hopeful for a time, and so upset the next second. Then after that I knew it was an induced coma because she was in a great pain so doctors made her to sleep.

It was great to know Carol finally woke up after, I guess 3-4 weeks. Then she started to go through this treatment to make her recover. She was in pain too :'(. During her painful times, it was my down times too. I wanted to go visit Carol so much but I couldn't really make it. Ok, I guess I can finally reveal a bit. I was kinda hard to go Malaysia this year because I got arrested by the Malaysia Immigration for some stupid reason which really freaks me out which they made it so serious but actually it's not that serious. Then something something made my trips to Malaysia VERY troublesome.

It's was touching to see Carol now who is active and crazy like before. She's very optimistic where her happiness can actually influence others. I believe she recovers not only because she's strong, but also the support she got from the family and friends, especially her husband.

I don't know how many guys now can be supportive till the end like her hubby. It's not an easy task to look after a patient, for a long period some more. I got this thought recently, from what I have experienced and seen, guys (majority) nowadays are so not reliable (no matter financially or loyalty). I feel lucky that Carol has a hubby who can look after her during her hard times.

Saying the marriage vows during the wedding is not for fun. Some people say it because it's like a usual process in a wedding but how many can keep the promise? "I take you to be my wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us apart...." And her hubby said "Marriage is about life time commitment in good times and tough times". 

I wish, I can marry someone who really loves me and I love him too ofcourse, and take care of me, spend the happiness and down times together, for life :D

Danes Cafe

I've been hearing people talking about this new restaurant in town, Danes Cafe. It's a place of pork! Ok~ not really. That's what I heard, so I thought they have a lot of pork dishes but not really. Their variety in the menu is not that much. I had a hard time deciding what to order since they don't have much choices. 

Not all dishes are in pork, I only remember they have pork burger, other than that, I don't remember if they have any other pork dishes, may be they don't hmmm. 

 I like their interior design. Very cozy, ang moh-ish and Marvel-ious. Do you see the picture of my man on the table, yea, Iron Man's my man!

 Pork Burger with fries. It's definitely delicious with the juicy pork, but a bit pricey for me, costs BND$17 (if not mistaken). 

I ordered the grill chicken, it's so-so for me. Not bad, it's not very dry but not juicy. BND$12.

The foods are good, great environment, however a bit pricey for me. If you haven't, you can go and have a try, their pork burger is good yeah!

Location: Batu Bersurat, the blocks beside basketball court. 

Month in Photos

Hello darlings! I've been wanting to update this space seriously. Everyday I tell myself "I wanna blog tonight!" but always ended up too tired to do so. I always afraid being late to work as I'm not a morning person, so I try not to make myself too exhausted the night before. 

This month has been busy and productive...kinda. Basically it's because I have a full time office job that makes my schedule quite pack. I can't really do things on the weekday, I have to push everything to weekend. 

I went to KL for airbrush course. It was fun and challenging. It was not as easy as I thought but I managed to do better after some practices. 

If you haven't heard of airbrush make up, it's actually a new technology of makeup using a compressor that improves the appearance or texture of the makeup. It looks very natural and lightweight on the skin. It's so natural that the makeup application can barely seen by eyes. Unless you take a before after pic to really see the difference. 

Went to tried TGIF restaurant. The foods are just okay, the chicken is kinda dry. 

However, the drinks are great. It's very refreshing and my hot chocolate tastes just right. 

Really appreciate it every time he meets me as he stays not very near to my place. 

Then went sing K after that. Sang for more than 5 hrs just us two, I do felt sleepy at the end of the night. But he doesn't seem singing enough lol I miss sing K! Have to find some time to go Miri to have my "craving" fixed.

***************

There's was a charity event for Pusat Ehsan last few weeks. I was impressed these hand crafts work by the people from Pusat Ehsan. It costs $200+. The quality is good, very cultural feel and the most awesome part is that they are Disney characters. 

The characters looks just right, they are not out of shapes. I like Betty Boop the most, so sexy!

***************

Went to My Town on one beautiful Sunday. To my surprise, the environment is quite comfortable tho. Except for the flies which quite annoy me, I hate flies in restaurants!

Crispy Ayam Penyet, it's good with the green chilli. 

Curry fish balls is not bad too. I always see this in Hong Kong movies, it' was my first time trying. 

Mango LOH. I still prefer the snowflakes from Ice Bar.

***************

A pic of me trying to be retro with a little cute mole on my cheek.

***************

This is quite overdue. Haha It was during July when I was about to leave Kuala Lumpur. I don't wanna go Soju Club anymore for my next trip! Too much clubbing at the same place seriously very sien. But thanks to my lovies for making the night great :)

***************

It was Halloween last week! It was a very last minute plan to have a Halloween dinner. 

Too bad Cheezebox is not able to organise a Halloween event anymore due to, I guess, the laws in Brunei. It was really fun back then. A lot of people dressed up and walked around Gadong in costumes taking pictures and have dinner together, the atmosphere was great. 

Spooky deco at Paddington House of Pancakes.

Although I didn't prepare any Halloween costumes, but at least must have a bit Halloween feel on that night. Haha I was a Spiderwoman! 

I got a free pancake for "dressing up" and a 10% discounts for posting pics on Instagram. 

***************

Visited the Greenhouse somewhere near I-Lotus.  I like to have a walk at this kind of place where there have plants and fruits, green scenery with the nature smell. I'll feel great and healthy.

The best garden I've visited so far is Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The temperature, the environments, the plants, the fresh air and everything are awesome. 

FYI, I've tried the cherry tomato from Pusat Ehsan greenhouse, it's so damn good. I'll try to search for that place one day and get all their cherry tomatoes! WHAHAHAHA~


***************

It was my grandma's birthday. My uncles & aunties were trying to sing birthday song in different dialects and languages. They are always that funny. Can see my grandma is happy to have all her kids and grandchildren and great grandchildren with her. Isn't she still looking so young! Don't have white hair le 开玩笑。

***************

Last Sunday, I-Lotus organized a wedding fair at their ballroom. I actually planned to just visit but in the end I took a booth on the last day (they had 2 days). I didn't know what can I do there at first, that's why I rejected, then I realized they need make up artists to do makeup for the models, so I contributed. 

I thought I was gonna sit at my booth whole day approaching the visitors introducing my services, so I had an idea of helping the lady visitors to curl their hair for free if they want, to fill up my time actually. 

However, it didn't turn out that way, I was super busy doing make up for the models and other people, touching up for them, I have no idea how many ladies I did. My waist was hurt, applause for my high heels. Ladies are 要美不要命 (want pretty, don't want life), am I right? haha

Live makeup and hairdo show. 

My pretty models. Hair done by City Hair Studio, Gowns from Santiago Studio and other studios which I'm not quite sure, opps. 

Aren't they gorgeous!?

With Emmy and pretty photographer, Riley. 

Thanks I-Lotus for the opportunity, I enjoy this event making the ladies beautiful, I did learnt new things from the event too and also from City Hair Studio, it's great to meet new people, it's a great experience and it's a successful event. It's great when the ladies put a smile on their face after I done their makeup. Thank you for the support and also thankyou my friends for dropping by ;) And thanks the Dick for the last minute poster design (although I hate him so much). I love you all~
