2008年12月31日，最后一天。

今天是2008年的最后一天。

一年了，回顾2007年的最后一天，比较今年的2008，我是有少许改变了。

去年原本要去美国，今年改变了，决定要留下。
因为我决定了在哪里跌倒，就要哪里爬起来，我不想逃避。　

也因为决定了留下，
去年虽失恋，但今年却不是单身了。
这一年来，他让我重拾遗失了的笑容。　

去年的烦恼与忧郁，像换车一样，都也换掉了。虽然，并不是一次过换来心目中的Dream Car，就如烦恼和忧郁无法一次过彻底清除，但是起码领悟了放下与原谅。学会放下和原谅，我的世界变得比较宽阔。要知道，狭窄的心胸足以让人窒息自毙。　　　

而今天的我，确实活得比去年好。在这一年内，我学会了成长（虽然有点迟），不想再做无谓的天真，更不想再盲目的执著。

人，到了一定的年龄，必须活得现实些。与其过的浑浑噩噩，不如清醒的活在现在。

我，不会为我无法爱的人留念，更不会在无法爱我的人身上浪费时间。　

我，不想像以前一样顽固不羁，我想为我的未来编出一道夺目的彩虹。　　

改变以往的态度，寄望于期待的未来。我会努力，过个对得起自己的未来。

希望，在下一个2009年的最后一天的文章，比今天这一篇来得更好。

Silver Care Kit

I just bought a second bottle of Silver Care Kit from Perlini’s Silver yesterday. The first one I bought for my third sister was few years ago and it still usable now. This Silver Care Kit only costs RM36 that also come with a super bright cloth for silver accessories that is ideal for polishing.
(Sorry for the picture's quality, it was taken with my out-fashion handphone.)

It is super convenient by just throw (or dip) the silver thingy into it and wait for just a few seconds, then take out the silver, rinse well with water and wipe clean. You will be amazed by the cleaning power of this care kit, the silver will look totally brand new!

Anything that made in silver can be cleaned by this care kit, like bracelet, necklace, rings, and etc.

Perlini’s Silver store location: KLCC, Isetan; 1-utama (I only know this two locations, I guess you may also get it from all the isetan store in town like Lot 10 & The Gardens.)

我的国语

有天上网玩facebook，不知道怎么的突然看到这样的字眼：Dinding ke dinding （wall to wall）， Kata Laluan （password）等。突然间，有种不知所措的感觉，也很想爆笑。这是什么咚咚嘛？


今天从Bangsar Village出来，看到街边挂着的布条写着:Jalur Lebar Wayarles。我看了一头雾水，便问我男朋友。谁知道搞了半天，原来是broadband wireless。天啊！有点楂到！

是我马来文有限公司？还是马来文真的有限公司？

A life without Camera

This few days holidays, went to shopping and hang around with my boyfriend. Been to a few places but have no chance to take any pictures because my camera has been sent to Sony Centre for repairing.Guess it could be either the processing error or the lens problem. It takes about weeks for repairing now, hopefully I manage to get it back before CNY. I actually have another option to take pictures by by using my boyfriend's DSLR, but I can't always bring them out as it is kinda heavy and bulky for me. I miss my pinky. *sob*sob*.

Ever since I've bought this camera, it has been with me for so long and now I hardly live without it. Arhhh!! What a boring life without camera! Too bad my mobile's camera too "cangih" until the pictures taken damn cacat!

No camera, no pictures, no life!! *Sienz*

我们都有压力

近来的金融风暴和经济低迷，人人都感到生活困难。虽然，有些人还未真正感到这次风暴带来的危机和压力，但我开始在身边的人身上看到了风暴带给他们的压力，而我也却爱莫能助。

最近常听到失业率的提高，有些公司裁员制度也高了另一峰巅。莫名的，我感到有点害怕，也对身边被经济风暴影响到朋友或亲人感到有点无奈。

有些人，因为失业或烦恼生计而饱受精神上的虐待。有家室的，更怕有朝一日当自己没有收入，至亲的妻儿也会三餐没有下落，造成终日食不知味，睡而不眠，到最后精神无法集中也无法放松自己，神经线就像一条拉得紧绷的胶带，经不起外来的压弹，一触即断。

在这些时候，谁都知道要尽量放松自己，别给自己太大的压力。但是，社会与家庭的压力，很多时候都往往不自主地已经迷失了自己，连要放松自己的药方也给丢了。分秒必争当儿，要知道时间是多么的残酷啊！因为，也许对某些人来说，就算丢了工作，没有收入，起码还可以依靠家里。但是，对有些人来说，手停口停，没有了收入，便等于没有了地方住，没有了饭吃，更没有了办法养家。要减压，有时候也要时间的允许。

我，虽然还未被这次的风暴卷入其中，但间接性的因为身边的亲人而卷入其内。

应付压力，唯一最直接的方法是坦然面对。逃避不是最佳方案。减压，可以暂时让你轻松，但是，压力不会永远消失，除非问题已经解决。问题一天若未解决，压力也会接踵而来。　　

离开家乡，来到吉隆坡已有整整11年。这么多年来，我都是租我姐姐的一间小房子。每个月的租金、汽车贷款、停车费、过路费、信用卡、保险金、车油和生活费用，都感到有点吃力。很怕若真的有一天我停下了脚步，我该何从何去？难道，都怪自己无法脱离城市的生活？

很多时候，我都常常告诉身边和家人居住的当地朋友们，他们是多么的幸福，也是多么的幸运！因为对游子的我们来说，我们随时都会无家可归。

所以，唯一可做的就是尽量不要再做大花筒了。（这个月我忍手没买心爱的LV，只买了一个小的手提电脑，而且是想买了很久的，单单想也有N年了吧？）　

还有，其实我不想再寄人篱下，我不想这么大个人了还要别人的管制，更不想霸着姐姐的房子，有时我觉得自己是多么的多余。可是，我就是那么的不争气。唉！

我多么想拥有属于自己的地方，可是却还没有那种本事。想要搬出来住，可是又怕和陌生人相处。想要住整间屋子，可是又怕自己负担不起，也找不到好的租客。

这么多年了，我还是老样子。有时，真的很讨厌自己的懦弱。

平安夜，因为突发的事情，让我过得很担忧，心灵并不感到平安。那一晚，其实内心很想哭，也感到很无奈，但也只有在人面前依然是坚强的自己。 但有些事情我还得要去解决的，不可以一直逃避。　

2007年尾我过得沮丧，2008年尾我过得很担忧，我希望，2009年尾的我是真正开心的。

平安夜

圣诞节的平安夜，相约好朋友和男友去了SS2的The Cave．那晚的食物气氛还好，但是我们点的食物，要等上2个钟头才有的吃，等到每个人都在埋怨肚子饿得一直打鼓。由于那晚因为亲人有事而有点整晚心不在焉。希望没有影到其他人的心情。

　

希望，每一年的平安夜都可以和这一斑朋友相聚。　

雞蛋

刚在星洲网汛看到如何利用蛋白达成美容养颜的秘诀。新年快到了，除了昂贵的护肤品外，廉价的鸡蛋也可派上用场了。

我之前也用过蛋白敷脸，除了蛋白带点腥味之外，其实敷后皮肤真的有比较收紧。此外，也可用化妆棉浸满蛋白敷在鼻子上，待干后慢慢拔开，这是用来对付黑头的小撇步。（不过，拔开时有少许痛，如果忍受不了，可以用清水洗掉。）

爱美的美眉，别错过咯！(^_^)

廉價的美容品──雞蛋（上篇）2008-12-04 17:36
雞蛋有美容養顏的作用，相傳埃及艷後用雞蛋美容。張曼玉更是「雞蛋美容法」的實踐者，她一直認為，皮膚的好壞除了先天賦予的之外，更重要的在於後天的保養，她在試用了各種各樣的皮膚護理方法之後，對自然有效的「雞蛋美容法」推崇備至。

中国中醫科學院基礎研究所養生學專家羅衛芳博士對中醫美容頗有研究，她说，雞蛋清是古代女子美容的常用材料。她們常常使用含有蛋清的護膚品敷面，用以保持皮膚的緊致與細膩。

中醫古籍中有大量雞蛋用於美容護膚的記載，例如，用陳醋浸泡雞蛋三天，取出蛋清敷面，用於治療面部皰瘡；用酒密封浸泡雞蛋七日，取蛋清每夜敷面以美白面部；以及用蛋清做洗髮、護髮用品等。

慈禧太后年過花甲時額上的皺紋還很少，她的美容方法之一，便是每晚用膳之後，在臉上塗搽加了幾味中藥末的雞蛋清，她深信，這是一種能夠去皺的妙藥。

張曼玉用蛋清敷臉，一般只敷1分鐘，在蛋清還沒有完全乾透前將其清洗乾淨，這樣就不會造成皮膚水分的流失，而且還能達到收緊肌膚的功效。

此外，張曼玉還有一種內服的雞蛋美容法：先將雞蛋在開水中沸騰3分鐘（註：水沸騰後再放進雞蛋），確定蛋白全熟、蛋黃半熟後，敲碎雞蛋一小角，放入少許食糖便可以食用。據張曼玉透露，這種方法和燉雞蛋一樣，具有良好的滋潤保養作用，她自己吃了這種雞蛋大概半年後，皮膚變得又白又滑，而且這種做法比燉雞蛋更為方便快捷。

• 蜂蜜蛋清面膜：取新鮮雞蛋一枚，加入蜂蜜一小湯匙，將兩者攪和均勻，臨睡前用乾淨軟刷子將此膜塗刷在面部，其間可進行按摩，刺激皮膚細胞代謝，促進血液循環。待一段時間風乾後，再用清水洗淨，每週兩次為宜。這種面膜還可以用水釋稀後搓手，冬季可防治皸裂。


• 蜂蜜蛋黃面膜：用蛋黃加入蜂蜜和麵粉調成濃漿，均勻塗敷面部，預防秋冬皮膚乾燥。尤其適用於中性或干性皮膚。如果是油性皮膚，應加入一匙檸檬汁，混合攪勻，用棉簽塗於臉上，15～20分鐘後以溫水洗去。


• 牛奶蛋清面膜：用牛奶摻入雞蛋清，或配用雞蛋黃調勻，塗面15分鐘，對中性皮膚的保養效果尤佳。只須堅持三個月，你的容顏便會煥然一新。


• 蛋清去黑頭：將化妝棉撕開成為較薄的薄片，浸入蛋清，稍微瀝干後貼在鼻頭上，10～15分鐘後，將化妝棉小心撕下。


• 軟膜除皺：做菜時，將蛋殼內的軟薄膜粘貼在面部皺紋處以及臉頰、下巴部位，在其風乾前揭下來，清水洗淨後塗以眼霜或面霜。

礼物

昨晚放工后回家赶包礼物，给我家的小朋友们。

其实，我是很喜欢包礼物，但要一口气包那么多，很累诶！ 虽然百货公司也有提供包礼物服务，但我还是老土地非要自己亲手包。:P

看到眼前的礼物，顿时感到好窝心。

我很喜欢圣诞节日，喜欢的程度可媲美农历新年。前者有礼物拿，后者有现金。哈哈！

分派礼物的心情，是很期待的。期待看到小朋友收到礼物时的兴奋和害羞。他们心里多么迫不及待的想立刻把礼物打开，但又不好意思地一直问大人们：要现在开的吗？我可以现在开的吗？

今晚和姐妹们如往年一样，也有交换礼物。我把礼物包得美美的，我突然间也变得像小孩子一样，好期待呢！(^_^)

（注意：我知道WJ & WX一定会留言问她们的礼物！哈哈！没有你们的份啊！Hohoho!)

又到圣诞

又到圣诞，又到圣诞，下个圣诞有冇今年咁叹！Santa Claus is coming to town! HoHoHo! ~(^_^)~

刚在公司吃了个圣诞蛋糕！明天又是圣诞前夕了！真快！

每一年的圣诞节，都是和姐妹们及男友一起同欢，今年当然也不例外啦！明晚约好了，好期待呢！

脸上的刷具

最近很有兴趣地和朋友一起讨论说要买刷具。

根据小威老师介绍的刷具，对初学者来说，必买的只有5款，而他推荐的有来自MAC/ 植村秀/芭比波朗，这三家彩妆专柜提供的。

必买的只有5款刷具：
1. 蜜粉刷 – 推荐〈山羊毛〉为最优
2. 腮红刷 – 推荐〈马毛〉为最优
3. 眼影刷 – 推荐〈松鼠毛/貂毛〉为最优
4. 眉刷
5. 唇刷

其实，我本身也有几支粉刷，是之前买Estee Lauder化妆品送的。而我也试过拿蜜粉刷用在粉饼(compact/ press powder)上，充当蜜粉扫在粉底后（腮红前），可以代替蜜粉步骤，同时也可以让底妆更服帖。效果不错喔！(^_^)

但刚才在露比那里看到女人我最大介绍的MAC的限量版刷具，粉红色的，好心动呢！但，不知道还有没有卖呢？嘻嘻！

粉红色、粉红色、让我心动的粉红色！

Concealer

Here I am going to share some concealers that I have tried and have heard some good reviews or recommendation online. Vian, hope it could give you some recommendations. (^_^)

I have freckles above both cheek (under eyes corner), it passes down from family gene where my mother and sisters all also have freckles on face.

Currently I am using Givenchy Spot Corrector and also Ettusias Medicated Acne Concealer.

Givenchy Universal Brightening Spots Corrector (with SPF45)

Givenchy has a very good concealer action but it is advisable to apply only on required spots because it’s a little bit dry(For those concealer texture that you may feel a little bit dry on your skin, you may try to mix a little bit of moisturizer, but not too much oh!). It is a brush-type concealer which made the application more simple and fast. Just apply a little bit to cover up the affected spot and slowly pat evenly with fingers.

As for Ettussias, I would recommend if you are having problem skin sometimes. It is not only a concealer but also helps to sooth the pimples and will not cause any further burden on your skin. However, the concealing agent may not be as powerful as other brands.

Ettussias Medicated Acne Concealer

Besides, here are some other brands that works pretty good in concealing.

MAC – They have few varieties like liquid type, creamy type, stick or point-touch type.

YSL – This concealer was strongly recommended in Lady First (女人我最大，是蓝心楣的最爱). It is similar like Givenchy, also is a brush concealer. It is one of the most popular concealer on the market. It can be use as a highlighter and eye brightener. It is also best known for covering up under eyes circles. Compare to Givenchy, YSL texture is more creamy and moisturizing. It is a Must-Buy item according to Instyle magazine and a favourite amoung reviewers on Makeupalley.com.

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer – It is a moisture-rich concealer designed specifically for under & around the eye area to conceal discolorations and dark circles. It provides more “slip” & glides on skin to cover any dark areas. It is advisable to apply after foundation.

Asus Eee PC904HD

Finally! I got myself a mini netbook, Asus Eee PC904HD in white colour, only RM1399.

Before getting this netbook, I’ve a few models in mind like Acer Aspire, HP mini, Dell and of course Asus.

After read through some reviews from magazine and online, the best review among all is still Asus.

My new netbook has a more-than-ample viewing area with 8.9 inch display, the battery life can last for 5.4hours (if you on it without using, and approximately 2-3 hours when using.), the internal storage has just good enough for me with 160GB hard disk drive option (with also 10GB Eee-storage where you can store your documents online). The Wifi connectivity 802.11b/g, it is also equipped with Bluetooth and Card Reader.

Well, I can’t really recall what else more with this small and light netbook that is only 1kg plus. I tried to carry it in my handbag yesterday and it was not very heavy (but still quite heavy for me, haha!).
The keyboard is very easy to type too!

Hehehe!! Comparing with the bulky!

浪迹天涯的车站

小时候，常常幻想。幻想希望可以背着个背包，浪迹天涯，做个流浪汉。心想，我不需要一个固定的房子，不需要固定的工作。每一个国家，每一个地方，做些临工，都可以自力更生。那时的念头是：只要活着，便可悠闲人生。

可惜，这些都是幻想而已。因为，我知道我肯定做不到。我有点洁癖症。我的床一定要一尘不染，而且认床。我怕陌生人，更怕人间险恶，况且我是个女生。虽然，我希望男女平等，但我并不敢独自一个人在外。而且，人长大了，想法也因人生经历而改变。有时候，我们需要一个人；有时候，我们需要有亲人在身边。我，无法永远只有自己一个人。

说到底，我也只是一个喜欢做梦，但却不敢踏出现实生活圈圈的人。

不过，想归想，只要稍微在脑袋里带过那一霎那的画面，虽然无法实现，也带一点点遗憾，但我已经很满足了。试想想，独自来到陌生的地方，风景媲美中国山水画，埃及金字塔的神秘和尼罗河的传说，西藏的神圣，巴黎的浪漫和夏威夷岛的热情，不是来两三天的度假，而是感受当地风化人情，探索自我的好奇心。

在我的生命中，到时会出现很多不同的车站。在每一个车站，我都会重新开始，认识不同的人，体验不同的生活。虽然，我都是在这些人的生命中路过，而有一天当我离开，我也会在他们的记忆里变得模糊。相聚离别，是我们每个人都必须明白的道理。抹掉留过的足迹，扫一扫肩膀上的灰尘，再一次潇洒走向下一个未知的地点。

离开家乡，来到这里。这么多年来，我看过很多人，认识很多人，也忘记过很多人。

今天，明天，后天及以后的每一天，我们会遇上不同的事与物，也会在不同的点站下车。曾经在我生命中留下过欢乐或悲伤的人与事，都是难以用文字一次过来记述。让我感动的，让我常笑的，让我心碎的，让我流泪的。。。都一直在人生百转千迴中不停上演。

但，每一个人的心目中，都会有生命中的最终站。

而我们兜兜转转，最后的终站都还是想回到最初的起点。多年以后，回味曾经到过的每一个车站和所体验的经历。 在这么多个车站中，可否有些人是你忘不了的？也是否有哪一个车站是让你最怀恋的？

A day at Raub

Was a little busy lately because my eldest sister’s family are in town for holiday. I’ve been hanging around with them most of the time for movies, shopping, went back hometown and spent some time at Raub.

Last few days I took a day off and went to Raub with them. My brother-in-law's family is staying at Raub, Kampung Sg Chetang and they have a big fish pond where we can enjoy fishing the whole day.
From the fish pond, we can see Fraser Hill! (^_^) Is the view nice?

We woke up early to have our breakfast before going to the fish pond. We spent our entire afternoon with fishing, chit-chatting and playing with the kids.

I catched only a small fish that day, but the photo is in my boyfriend's camera. Haha!

It's the best time ever to just relax on this swing (is it called swing? or Cradle?) in a windy evening. See what my sister and her daugther doing? They were trying to get the coconut! Hahaha! Damn funny!



I found something very interesting at my brother-in-law's house. It's Escargot! (Or do you want to call them "French snail"?Haha!) Can you see their eggs in pink colour? My sister said the female escargot will climb up above the water to lay eggs on the wall. The baby escargot will climb back to the water when they grow up.

Can you see it now? Does it look like grapes? Yummy!! Yeee~~~!! Hahahaha!!

In the evening, we went to Bentong Hot Spring before heading back to KL.

Look at the vapor! OMG! It's so hot!! They have 2 pool, this is the hottest one and the other one is just warm and you can swim in the pool.

Well, it was just a 1D/1N short trip to my brother-in-law’s hometown, but we all enjoyed the trip very much and had a wonderful Tuesday. (^_^) I want to go again!

But after the holidays, I am now piled up with more pending work that need to be done and have lesser time to upload the pictures and my blog. (*_*)

Laneige workshop

Last Saturday attended a Laneige make up workshop with friends at Mid Valley.

We were slightly a little bit late and did not manage to grab anything to eat. They were actually serving some light refreshments but we did not eat any. In the end, we were all starving in the middle of the make up lesson. *pity my little poor stomach*

Well, I took a picture of myself before and after applying their make up products. I was actually have my make up done in the morning before going there, though I just applied BB cream and make up on eyes.

We all got a miniature set of skincare for combination to oily skin and a lip design palette in the end of the lesson.

My conclusion for the day:
Skincare set: The set consists of toner, essence, emulsion & hydrating cream. It’s too oily for me if apply on day time.

My make up:
1) Base: 1st layer I applied Makeup Primer Moisture, then follow by Laneige Moisture Fitting Base (Purple) & UV Total Base (Natural Beige)
2) Foundation & Concealer: Snow Crystal Dual Foundation & Concealer (Natural Beige)
3) Powder: Laneige Sliding Pact SPF 24
4) Blusher: Snow Crystal Blusher
5) Eye brows: Natural Brow Liner-Auto Pencil
6) Eye Shadow: Snow Magic Eyes Palette & Snow Crystal Blusher
7) Eye Liner: Multi-shaping Eyeliner
8) Mascara: Real Long Lashes (Black)
9) Lips: Snow Crytal Moisture Lipstick & Snow Crystal Sheer Lip Gloss

Out of all the above cosmetics I used that day, I only like the following 3 items:

Laneige Moisture Fitting Base (Purple)
It’s an oil-free, water-based hydrating makeup primer with Squalane for normal to dry skin. I was using their Lavender tone to correct yellowness / dull skin. The texture is not too thick and quite easy to apply with sponge. The skin was even and not too dry on skin. (I rate 3 star out of 5)

UV Total Base
I would rather to call it as Tinted Moisturizer than what they called it as BB Cream. It’s smooth, moisture and can use it alone without foundation if you do not like heavy make up. (I rate 4 star out of 5)

Real Long Lashes Mascara
It’s very easy to apply and it brings out a very good result for long lashes and it only selling RM62. My eyes look so big like a doll. (I rate 4 star out of 5)

Honestly, I really don’t like their eyes shadows and eyes liner. The packaging may be nice but they are so difficult to apply well on your eye lids. I would only rate 1 star out of 5. Personally for eyes liner, I would prefer MAC, Shu Uemera or Bibo.

This is my own make up with only BB Cream & eyes make up.

This is my make up with Laneige cosmetics. How's my make up skill? Sweet? Hahaha!!
