Saw this saying online.
"Try not to take things too personally, whatever people say is a reflection of them & not you."
How true..
Thinking of sometimes when I speak of others I might also apply to me & I might just be jealous of them too...

Every girls dream ...
It is every girl's dream to have a flawless complexion.
I am just one of the few active ones
like many others I have tried many different products ranging from the cheap ones to the more costly ones.
I have to say that its more of a psychological factors that makes people thinks that the more expensive products always works better, though at times it really doesn't work this way.
For all girls sake, I want to share my all time favorite beauty product!
1. Himalaya Neem Facial Wash
This product has been my companion for more than 3years, it really works well for me.
I go for facials once every 3 months or so. I started using this product as my facial artist told me that I should look for more gel-base products as i'm prone to having clog oil glands (which is those little tiny bits beside your nose bridge).
The facial wash contains tumeric which is a spice used in most indian food, at the same time it is also a good ingredients that will help get rid of your acne. (takes many wash to see the results) at the same time this product is really affordable. You can get it easily for less than $10 at any Watson/Guardian.
2. Hada Labo Hydrating & Whitening Lotion
Toner is one of the few must-have skin before moisturizing.
I tried BodyShop Vitamin E Toner but it's was too oily & sticky
I tired Garnier apple toner but I think it has too much alcohol content
Thus, after seeing Hada Labo's advertisement, I decided to give it a try.
I think its wonderful, it isn't oily, isn't sticky.
Plus, you really just have to apply it according to what's shown on TV.
Pat them onto you skin for it to absorb, DON'T rub in.
They have many different types of lotion, so chose the one that suits u.
- Hydrating Lotion
- Hydrating & Whitening Lotion (the one i'm using)
- Hydrating & Firming Lotion with Collagen
Can be obtained at any Watson/Guadian @ <$18
3. Bodyshop Vitamin C Skin Boost Serum
I have tried several moisturizers like Neutrogena gel moisturizer, Garnier Essence, Laneige Skin Serum, EL-Elohim Serum (from my facial shop, which i'm still using)
But the bodyshop one is really one of the best!
Although I really love the EL-Elohim one from my facial shop, but it's too costly for a student like me. It's $120 for a bottle, I can't bear with such cost.
I got a sample from Bodyshop for this Vitamin C skin booster Serum, I tried them while I was in Thailand. I love how the texture isn't like all the other serum, it isn't sticky, feels abit oil-based and is easy to spread on. You only need a punch everytime.
Usually some moisturizer will start to make my face really oily after 3-4 hours.
But this Bodyshop one really works well for me.
You can get a sample from Bodyshop to give it a try before you buy them.
Get them at any Bodyshop outlet @ less than $50 for a bottle.
4. Clarins Ecran Multi-Protection Sunblock SPF 40
Dermatologist suggests that everyone used a sunblock with at least SPF 15.
Chose one that also provides protection against UVA & UVB
Apply sunblock generally 30mins before leaving your place or before sun exposure.
Well always avoid direct exposure to sun during 11am - 3pm where they are the strongest!
refer to this website http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/sunscreen.html for more info.
After trying several different sunblocks like Biore, Avene etc.
I highly recommend the Clarins one.
Sunblock are always sticky as they contain SPF & they are generally smelly or has some swimming pool smell. HAHA!
So this Clarins sunblock really surprise me!
it has a powdery smell, it is smooth when applied & does not gives me a sticky feel throughout!
Plus, it contain Ecran some kind of melon that is a natural fruit extract to fight against sun-rays.
Available at all Clarins counter @ <$75
PS: all skin care products works better for different people.
This are just my suggestions! Hope they work well for you too :)

bits & pieces
haven't been finding time to clean up the cobwebs here...
blogging hasn't been really my thing ever since i went for internship, or prolly it wasn't really my kinda thing from the start?
well, im glad that internship is coming to an end in another 11 working days. i really can't wait!!!
i won't say internship is boring because at least i get paid for not studying and doing easy jobs, but it really depends on the company & your colleagues, in this case to me its supervisors! she's like one hell of a black face everyday you see her, it just isn't motivational enough for me...
time do flies without us even realizing it sometimes, and my boyfriend is going to leave me in October for Brunei for a whole year. i'm trying not to stay so attach as i know i am going to have a really hard time adapting when he isn't around. but who knows right? i might someone else i think is better for me? though my boyfriend is currently the best i ever had. *laughs*
on a side note, i do have awesome awesome friends with me...
will be back to update soon when i have time :)

May 2011
it's been months since i last updated this place, everything that happens seem so vague to me.
many things have happened in a stretch of this few months, i started my internship @ IBU call centre, its really a boring job to sit there & just answering calls listening to all the rubbish from the customers. at the same time, superiors were not encouraging enough, it doesn't serve as any motivation for us though. i can be @ the top of the call list but still gets a bad rating. upset much!
work aside, heres some pictures of what happened last few months...
Michelle (Roy's gf) 21st @ NSRCC
Rq's lovely new dog! Yuki!
lastly, some pictures during the valentines day!
as i say all my memories have almost been wipe out, the only thing i rmb was that my boyf did a tattoo & the fabulous breakfast @ Oscar's!
at times, true friends are hard to find.
you may put in alot of effort & time to maintain these relationship, but the other party just have friends that they think are more impt & more worthy for them, everyone will have their down time, those who stick by during the down times are the ones who'll be there for you in time to come.
open up your eyes to see who are the ones making the effort for a friendship, try to treasure before you lose them, learn to be appreciative.
