Pampering is a must!

Today I feel so much better than yesterday even though my hand are still trembling and shaking. Thank you Allah for this speedy recovery. Alhamdulillah.

As I was resting and reading, suddenly my  husband called me. He said I can go to spa if I want to..you know, to do massage as I told him last night I had a serious back ache due to the fever.I quickly get off from my bed and took a shower, ready to pamper my body. I'm not used this area so I just go try an error. Found this spa called Baliness.Wow! Bali?! Sounds interesting. Why not to give a shot, right?

So I did full body scrub with massage and milk bath. OMG!!! That was refreshing! Being on the bed for 2 days with bruises here and there really make my body so tired. The scrub was awesome, the massage was so good and the bath was so refreshing! I can feel my skin is so moist, so tender, just like a baby!And after that I tried the facial. I'm so fussy when it comes to facial. I will not simply say yes to any facial as it involves my face. Last time I did facial it was 2010. It was at New York's skin solution. That was my last time.

As the beautician (the owner of the spa itself did the facial to me) touch my face she was amazed and she said my skin is so smooth, so tender, so clean, so moist, pores are so tight, and hardly been seen, I mostly have no problem on my skin at all. Alhamdulillah! So she started to interview me on the product that I'm currently using and my everyday beauty skin routine. So we started to have a chat. So here what I do everyday.

My night routine

1. Always, always, always remove your make up before you wash your face. Although you are not using any make up , just a moisturizer, sunblock and compact powder, you must remove the dirt. I only use this make up remover from Silky Girl. It's so cheap! MYR 15.90!

2. After removing the make up and the dirt, I wash my face using this Lancome Blanc Expert Ultimate whitening purifying foam. The cleanser is so soft on your skin and leave your face clean, smooth and supple. You can get this at any Lancome booth for MYR 120.00 for 125ml.

3. Next I used this toner from Lancome also. I use Visionnaire Lotion Fondamental. It makes your pores so tight! And you will feel so good after applying it on your face. Sesiapa yang ada masalah pores yang besar, boleh cuba Visionnaire ni. Also, you can get it at any Lancome booth for the price MYR 160 for 200ml bottle.

4. Next step is serum. I'm using a serum, youth activator, also from Lancome. This Genefique serum is a must. Sebabnya dia akan memulihkan sel dari dalam. I mean dia pulihkan DNA kulit kita. Sangat awesome. It can be purchased at any Lancome booth. The price is MYR 249.00 only for 75ml bottle. And it's worth to buy!

5. After applying serum..for the moment I am using this vitamin C capsules from bodyshop. One capsule per night will leave your skin glowing the next day. I use it for a month then I stop for a month and I use it back again..until now. I don't use it continuously. But hey, don't worry, when you are using Lancome's product, you can mix it with others. Lancome product is so safe. No worries. :) You can get this capsule at any Bodyshop outlet. The Price is MYR 89.90 only for a case with 28 capsules inside. Enough for one month!

Ok. That's all about my everyday routine. And for my every week routine, I just use this Wash off Rice Mask from Skin Food, 2-3 times a week. Kalau rajin, 3 kali, kalau malas...2 kali je..hihi.  Been using it since I was a student, it's around 2008 if I'm not mistaken. And yes, I'm still using it now. It's so good and affordable. The price is only MYR 49.90 for 100 g bottle and it last for 6 months! 

That's for for the moment as the entry is getting longer. I'll share my day routine later in my next entry. Well my advice to every girls and women out there..Rajin-rajin lah menjaga kecantikan. Hargai kecantikan yang Allah dah bagi kat kita. Tak kisah lah product mahal ke murah, yang penting kita jaga. 

Pampering is a must!

Barang hantaran- Part 1

Phew~ Sekarang ni Akma macam tak cukup tangan. So many things to do in so little time. Oh my! If only I had 8 hands....

Ok...minggu ni kalau Encik Tunang tak kerja, beliau bercadang nak datang ke KL sebab kami nak beli barang-barang hantaran..Bukannya apa....sementara duit untuk hantaran dah cukup..kami jalankan aje..

Cadangan lokasi Akma nak ke One Utama (OU). Why? Sebab rasanya OU tu kira macam one stop center. Crabtree & Evelyn ade...Victoria Secret ade...Fiorucci ade..Nine West ade..Coach pun ade..auwwww~ So tak perlu nak pening-pening pergi 2-3 tempat kan? Oh ya...dulang hantaran semakin bertambah ye. At first pihak lelaki nak bagi 7 kan? Now changed to 9 dulang...so I have to give him 11 trays! Oh my! *sambung tulis list sambil kira2 duit dalam wallet.

Hurm....balik raya haji nanti akan ada family meeting..Maka, surat-surat nak minta sponsor itu dan ini perlu disiapkan seberapa cepat yang mungkin!!!! Dan balik raya haji ni memang kena cramped kan few tasks sebab adalah sangat susah nak jumpa Encik Tunang. So nanti on that day nak kena tempah baju nikah, cari kain pasang, cari make up, pelamin, and cari barang bling-bling untuk batal air sembahyang. Okay..kengkonon cuti sangat lama kan? Pffttt~

Doa-doa la Encik Tunang tak keje this coming Sunday. Selagi tak settle, selagi tu la serabut. Serabut takut terguna duit nak beli barang hantaran tu........grrr~

Ok. Daaaa!

Hugs and kisses,

Update, update!

Well...when you have too many things to be shared, you will end up sharing nothing. And it's true. I really don't have time to finish what I've started. Does it show that I'm a busy career woman? *ewww~puke!!!* But seriously, I'm too busy. Not just busy, but also tired!!! And I couldn't argue more because it's Ramadhan. 

And hey, guess what? Today was the third day I walk to school. And it takes me about 15-20 minutes to arrive. It's not that bad actually, walking to school early in the morning and get some fresh morning air!! And I guess I can live without my car. Seriously, it's not that bad. I started to love walking instead of driving. Boleh exercise what..hee....Kelassss ko Jah!

Oh, I went out to Alpha Angle just now with my friend. And I bought a pair of shoes. I fell in love with its colours, the comfort and the most important is the price!!!!! 

I just love it!!

Don't you just adore the colour? I know..I know that the colour is so not into my family theme colour for this year..Urghh! Like I care. It's my shoes.=)

You like it?

Good night everyone!

Kisah reusable bag.

Picture courtesy from Mr. Google.

Plastic or paper? I choose paper, of course!

Alkisah, Rabu lepas telah ke Jalan TAR bersama housemate. I nak cari tudung raya mak. MasyaAllah...ramai sungguh umat manusia kat situ. Biasalah kan..sibuk membuat persiapan nak sambut lebaran. Sejak di station lrt dah packed dah. Mula-mula nak park kete kat stesen Taman Melati. Ya ampun!!! Penuh gell! Terus drive ke stesen Gombak. Alhamdulillah..ada parking! Parked kete terus jalan laju-laju! Bukan apa...teruja nak naik kenderaan awam. Sejak berkenderaan ni, jarang dah naik tren. 

Berjalan-jalan di Jalan TAR sampai lembik urat saraf kaki. Tapi dapat la apa yang di cari. Syok jalan-jalan kat bazar, tudung mak pun dah beli..al-mata ni terpandang kat sepasang kurung cotton. Erm....cantik! Dan yang paling penting it's on budget. RM50 only. Owh..sebelum jauh bercerita, nak bagitau lately, I memang suka bawak shopping bag. Senang. Tak payah bersusah payah angkut sampai 2,3,4 atau 5 plastic bag! Lagipun kita kan tengah nak save the earth. *amboi statement..Kelassss ko Jah ! *So sepanjang pembelian kat situ memang tak dapat lagi plastic bag. Tapi yang jadi bahan tak puas was when nak purchase baju kurung hijau tersebut. Pekerja dia Mek Indon tu tetap berkeras nak bagi plastic bag.

Me : Takpe kak. Masuk je dalam bag ni. Saya tak nak plastic bag.

She : Nggak boleh adik...Mesti letak dalam plastik dulu.

Me : Tapi kak..saya tak nak plastic.

She : Nggak boleh. Kalau membeli mesti ada plastiknya.

Me : Tapi saya tak nak. Kesian bumi nanti.

She : Aduh...ambil aja. Kalau nggak mahu, balik nanti boleh di buang.

Me : Taknak lah kak.....(degil betul Indon ni. Memang tak menghargai alam sekitar)

Then terus je dia masuk dalam plastic.Haish! Geram betul! Mentang-mentang kau bukan rakyat Malaysia...Geram!!!!!! Macam mana rakyat Malaysia nak support kempen bumi hijau kalau ada sesetengah penjual yang macam ni? Bayangkan kalau orang macam ni masih ramai? 

Urghh~ apalah salahnya sama-sama support niat murni ni. Sekarang ni I kena sentiasa ingat to take my reusable bag where ever I go. Korang pun support jugak tau. Sayang korang!

Hugs and kisses,
Cikmai.

Foundation??

Yuhuuu!!! Uolss tengah buat apa tu? Puasa dak? Alhamdulillah...hari ni dah masuk Ramadhan yang ke 12 ! Sekejap sangat masa berlalu kan? Bahang raya pun dah makin terasa. Cuma dekat radio masih belum lagi kedengaran lagu raya...Sat lagi bila dah putaq lagu raya, confirm dah rasa macam dekat sangat nak raya.

By the way, balik kerja tadi hampir-hampir dah nak ke Jalan TAR. But then sebab takde orang yang nak mengular, maka niat terus terbatal. Then I headed to Giant Batu Caves. Niat di hati mencari bahan basah nak masak. And I was about to park my car and suddenly my phone rang. It's the Mr. Postman. Yay!! My parcel arrived already nolks~ Original Naturactor Foundation yang I order tu dah sampai!!! Maka, beli barang cepat-cepat, and bergegas pergi ambil barang tersebut at my school's postguard. Bukan apa, tak sabar nak test conteng-conteng kat muka. Kuangkuangkuang.

So balik rumah terus cuci muka bersih-bersih. And before apply that foundation, I terfikir nak apply my UV Face Milk SPF 50+ dulu. Kenapa? Well, sekarang ni kan sangat panas...so our skin need a protection. So sebab takut muka jadi oily *sila note yang kulit saya jenis yang berminyak *  baik la kita cuba try test dulu kan? 

Lepas ratakan sunblock all over my face, I apply that Original Naturactor Foundation. I ratakan pakai damped puff supaya tak capuk-capuk and it will last longer. After apply that foundation, I finished it dengan my compact. Well, it is advisable to finish it with loose powder..tapi my skin ni super sensitive...bedak ni je yang boleh pakai kat my face..It's a compact powder from Bodyshop. And...I love the result. Tak berminyak and looks natural. Thanks Syafiqah for introducing me to this foundation. Jom tengok hasil. By the way, mind the tudung and baju....kan main conteng-conteng muka dalam rumah...So I just grab apa yang ada kat sekeliling to cover my aurat.

Tak oily kan? 

Ok. Just mind the eyebag.

Sukaaa...boleh conteng-conteng muka masa raya nanti!!! Ok then. Nak ke dapur pulak. Today's menu mask lemak udang campur kacang panjang, ikan kukus (again...well my housemate request) and telur dadar...Korang berbuka apa?

This is No. 2

Fuhhh~ Hari ni adalah hari yang meletihkan. So damn tired! I went shopping with my sister and my lil brother. Bayangkan keluar rumah pukul 8.30 pagi and sampai rumah balik 8.30 malam. Err....12 jam bukan? Destinasi kami biasalah...Jalan TAR dan Sogo. Pencarian baju raya telah bermula!! Hii...

Habis je tawaf kat situ, masing-masing dah sakit kaki..Haruslah sakit..Kalau nak shopping dengan my sis, kena stamina yang tinggi..Naik je kete, my lil bro and my sis berehat....I olss still tak dapat rehat..Driver kena stamina double. Kuangkuangkuang..Sampai je rumah, terus melayan my niece main iPad then baru mandi dan makan. 

Habis je makan....jengjengjeng.....Terus je potong kain yang baru beli tadi...Nak buat baju la....Hilang semua penat sebab semangat nak jahit baju lagi...Baju first dah siap kan. So sekarang baju no. 2 is still in progress. Baru siap potong. Esok kalau sempat nak hantar jahit tepi before pergi wedding my friend tu. Kalau sempat la..If tak sempat, hantar di Gombak je la nampaknya..

Eh, esok nak pakai baju kurung yang first tu..Ngeee~

Okay uolsss...Good night.

Hugs and kisses,

Cikmai.

Grabbing thingy- Part 1.

Saya adalah sangat sedang mengumpul sesuatu..Seperti kata pepatah, sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit. Tapi saya nak jadi gunung, boleh tak? So esok mungkin akan ke sana untuk meng-grab benda itu. Nak tengok tak? Jom....

Gambar ehsan dari Encik Google.

A Lavender Gift Box from Crabtree & Evelyn. Mak memang dah berkenan bebenor dengan benda ni. Okay, sangat sesuai dijadikan hantaran bukan? Saya memang sudah jatuh hati cinta dekat Crabtree & Evelyn. So bulan ni punya gaji, grab this thing. Esok sudah plan dengan my sis nak shoot ke One Utama. Wowzah! Hantaran Hunting (HH) ke?? Urgh..padahal lama lagi.. Ape yang lama lagi? Saya pun tak tau. Diam-diam sudah.

Hari ni rasa nak cium korang lebih-lebih. Mmmmuuaaahhhh!! Mmmuuaahhhhsss!!

Cerita basi

Good morning all. What a beautiful morning! I’m now can get up from my bed and at last sit and online. Rasa semakin pulih. Lagi-lagi dapat texted “miss you sangat!!”..Senyum sampai ke telinga you olz!! Miss you sangat too baby..hee~(cairlah tu..tet)

Alhamdulillah. Tapikan... the unwanted dots on my body are still there. It’s worst. I don’t even dare to look at it. It’s Y-U-C-K!

Oh, lupe plak...this entry is majorly to ramble about my therapy with my sis and my lil bro last Wednesday. I have to keep my promise, right? So here it is.

Actually it was like an ad-hoc therapy. The original plan is to settle down my bro’s driving test registration and then headed straight to UKM to settle down my sis FYP project. The driving test registration done...tapi office UKM was closed. Kesian my sis kena datang the next day. Haih. Takpe2...aja-aja fighting!!

Tiba-tiba idea menjelma..nak pergi One Utama(OU) or The Curve?? Sila pilih ye puan-puan. Aku hanyalah driver sahaja. Ibarat “Saya yang menurut perintah” gitu..Then the tribe had spoken...One Utama was chosen.. Tet!!Ingat ni game Survivor ke nolks? Kaedahnye la kan...

Sampai je OU, I could imagine the tiredness of the so-called tawaf there. I went to Forever21- my favourite place ever. Memang sangat murah!!!! 10 bucks pun dah boleh dapat baju..murah la kan? memang sales gila babs. Dah tawaf-tawaf...tapi takde yang berkenan...peliks...Then keluar without any shopping bag. Mission failed! Memang macam takde mood..perut lapo kot...

Ape lagi...food hunting la...and we all stranded at Sri Melaka Restaurant. Makanan yang sangat sedap dan scrumptious!! Buttered prawn, kangkung goreng belacan, sweet & sour fillet and black pepper chicken. It costs us RM100+..but hey, it’s worth it! Sedap sangat. Two thumbs up!!

Should try this place..It's awesome!

Sempat snap 2 gambo je..pastu terus melantak..lapo le katekan...

Lepas makan terus semangat!! Grabbing session. I grabbed something from Levi’s and East India. Owh..masih terbayang-bayang that Crabtree & Evelyn...Dah cakap dengan baby dah nak a set from Crabtree & Evelyn for hantaran. So gaji bulan ni dah boleh beli sementara masih ada sale. One item checked!! Sila sediakan payung sebelum hujan. Kuangkuangkuang..

Overall, the therapy was awesome!! Lama sudah mak tak tabur-tabur duit kat cashier.. Aku ni keje kuat-kuat, memang nak penuhkan poket kau..(sambil pandang ke atas dan letak tangan ke dada) Sentapss!!

P/S: Still can’t give you hugs and kisses. I’m afraid the virus will spread.

Hey everyone! It's Sunday!

Happy Sunday everyone. How's your Sunday? Hope you guys had a great weekends with your family and your love one. Mak macam biasa la nolks....duduk kat rumah aje....spending time with my mom.

Early this morning my mom and I went to morning market. Ala....pasar tani gitu. Lama sungguh aku tak jejak kaki kat pasar tani. Aktiviti hari ini telah memborong lazy pants dengan mak. Murah gila babs. RM10 dapat 2 seluar. Haa...tak ke murah tu??? Kain pun berkualiti jugak..sedap pakai buat tidur. So..ape lagi...borong sakan naa...Yay!! Lepas ni tak payah tabur-tabur duit beli seluar tidur kat FOS tu. Mengapa berbelanja lebih, tak gitu?

Owh ye, hari ini aku masak udang. Resepi ni my SIL from Thai yang taught me. Sebab tak de nama, jadi dengan memandai-mandainye aku letak name menu ni Udang Khap Khun Kap.Hihi...Memang agak healthy ye puan-puan menu ni even pedas sikit. Raw vegetables dan udang pun dicelur sahaja. Pastu buat sauce dia. Tanpa minyak gitu...Rasa sedap menu ni bergantung pada sauce yang kita buat. Kena nisbah saucenya, sedapla udang ni.

My lil brother memang suka sangat udang ni. Kalau balik je mesti request aku udang ni. Kalau buat, mesti licin..tak sempat tunggu malam. Sekali makan aje dah korban nolks. Jadi malam ni kenalah aku masak lauk lain untuk adik kesayangan aku ni. Ayam masak merah mungkin? Fuhh...nasib baik ade sorang je adik. Jom layan photo.

Udang Khap Khun Kap...Yummy!!

Meh tengok dekat sikit....

Till then. Take care Sunshines.

Hugs and kisses,

I like!

Location : My best friend's house.

Status: Runaway

I feel so calm here. Plus, I'm not working today. Yeeha!! However, workloads is kinda suck lately. (Did I said lately? No..I mean since yesterday). I'd only finish marking paper for one class. Still have 3 more to go. Reading all the essays make me crazy!!

Therefore...I think I need something that could make myself back to normal. Maybe a "sightseeing" at Jalan TAR. Muahahahaha....

By the way, that pink handbag had really turned me on! Thanks Dilla for helping me yesterday. suke..suke...mak suke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saya yakin betul....saya kunci bag pink saya!!!!

p/s: First time membeli barang yang bukan authentic.

Hugs and kisses,

It was great!!

Hello lovelies!!! Did you miss me???Really??Oh..how sweet..I miss you too!

I spent my weekends with my housemates and guess what??It was great!!!!!!We went to Kemaman and we were staying at Ida's place. I just couldn't help it was really really really great!!

We went for a movie at Kuantan. Shrek 3 was superb!!!! I love the story line. It has value. The movie did reflect my life, somehow. It makes me realized that we should appreciate of what we had before it's gone. I was nearly cried yesterday when Shrek lost his loving wife and adorable kids. It's a nice story.

Oh, wait! I forgot to tell you the best part before the movie. I went for a make-up hunting!!! Weee~ Now my skin is getting better, it's time for me to reload my make-up bag with new stuffs. Bodyshop and The Faceshop are having sale. So I grabbed a concealer, a two-way cake, a blusher and an eyeshadow. Then I moved to Stage where I bought my turquoise eyeliner. It's stunning. I'd never ever used other colour of eyeliner before except black and dark brown. Just want to be a bit different. Guess what????? I'm happy.

But I'm so sorry. Because I was too busy for the hunting, I had no time for photos. Okay then. I have something new to be explored. A new game. wee~ I'll continue later. Till then.

Hugs and Kisses,

Victory 2

Kain gojes saya yang kedua or should I say my second victory. Thanks Frenny! My gojes kebaya ayu from Indonesia..

Tengoklah sulaman dia...sangat halus. Thanks again Frenny. Colour die pun sangat gojes! Ladies..kindly, this is NOT for sale...it's mine...saje nak cuci-cuci mata. Hehe.

V i c t o r y

After struggling, my dear Anez at last managed to get that gorgeous Indian cotton for me. Well I could say that this is one of my victory in shopping. Sebelum ni selalu juga berebut barang dengan shopper yang lain tapi biasanya kecundang. Maybe because strategy I tak mantap kot. Nak tengok my victory?

Sangat lah gojes bukan?Soft colour yang sangat sesuai dengan I yang soft ni..*Ahaks! Perasan abes!!* Gratitude is extended to you, darl. Cepat la balik sayang..Wee~

p/s: Sedang tunggu kain kebaya ayu gojes dari Indonesia juga...
