Volkswagen Beetle

I believe everyone of you would definitely in love with this new beetle and of course, this is one of my dream car too! (Yeah, the convertible model is about killing me!OMG!)
The classic yet sleek design deliver its message for a modern motor-world.
Back to the future. Everybody remembers the Volkswagen car par excellence: the Beetle. With its unique shape and reliability, it wrote motoring history. When in 1993 Volkswagen succeeded in linking up with this history, everyone was thrilled. A driveable full-scale model based on the first design study, called "Concept 1", was produced for the 1994 Detroit Motor Show. At the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show, Volkswagen presented the "New Beetle" design study, by then almost ready for series production. Anyone could order it from 1998.
The new Beetle emphasizes its sportiness with an innovative interior. The stylish chrome fits well with the blue display lighting.

The New Beetle is a vehicle with character and extraordinary styling. Its harmonious curves make the car unique – from the arched roof and the windscreen drawn forward over the bonnet and wings, to the rear end drawn down low to the road. Its long wheelbase and wide track indicate strength. Classic details like the assist straps in the interior evoke memories of the old Beetle, completing the bridge between the past and the future of car design.
Desirable protection. Maximum safety comes as standard in the New Beetle. The combined curtain and side airbags in the front provide protection against head, pelvis and chest injuries. And, of course, the front passenger airbag can easily be deactivated so that even the smallest of passengers can sit in the front passenger seat.

Volkswagen Eos

Last weekend went to The Curve with my boyfriend and dropped by Volkswagen sales office. Haha, not to buy a new car, but purposely go to see the Volkswagen Eos.

OMG! The car is fabulous! And the name also sounds cool! Eos - "The winged Greek dawn goddess".

The Eos offers you the best of both worlds: authentic cabriolet fun and the dynamic performance
You can drive it either with the roof closed or with an unobstructed view of sky, depending on the weather and your inclinations.

The 2.0 litre turbo FSI engine provides a powerful output of 147 kW (200 hp). Thanks to turbo FSI technology, the engine also offers significant benefits in terms of reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, but is also impressive for its superb power delivery.

Safety takes prioritySafety and a high degree of occupant protection take priority in the Eos. The active roll-over protection system installed behind the rear seats ensures that all passengers are perfectly protected. Moreover, the Eos provides a combined head and side airbag system, ESP and ABS as optimum form of protection.

忧郁后的巧克力

昨晚下了一场忧郁的细雨。回家大睡一场，直到天亮。

今天虽然称不上“雨过天晴”，早晨的天空仍是阴阴凉凉的，不过我的心情可好多了。(^_^)

让你们担心，对不起咯！

朋友不知道是不是也知道我的心情不好，早上从家里带来了好多巧克力。要知道，巧克力可以令心情变好喔！
上班前给男友一通电话时，从伯母和小Ler-Vine得知我的相片刊登了。所以在公司便拿了份星洲来看，看看自己是不是拍得很丑(因为当天有点累，而且在天气闷热又没怎么化妆的关系，蛮怕拍出来会很难看）。(*_*)
好了，收拾好心情，又是新的一天，希望是美好的一天。

在路上飞驰，不想回家。

把手机关上，只想要一片宁静。

选了张我们平时坐的位子，点了同一款橙汁，只是今天的人事已非。

听者何伶唱的“泪海”，一首我曾很喜欢哼唱的歌。 优美的钢琴声陪衬着清澈淡淡的歌声。

“你怎么舍得让我的泪流向海，付出感情永远找不回来。。。”

现在的心情真的糟透了。但，我的眼泪却流不出来。

下过雨的黑夜，有点粘。也像一股忧郁的悲伤粘着我的皮肤，渗透内心的无奈。

点燃的香烟，在微风中燃烧，慢慢的在空气中流散。深深吸入的烟雾，在口里挣扎中的呼出呐喊。

心痛的黑夜，为了谁而存在?是我太天真，还是我太野蛮？

伤心的画面一幕幕在脑里重现，快将我掩埋。

此刻的天空，为何又下起雨滴，水蓝色的泪，是不是为了我的难过？

我不是逃避，只是我找不到心目中的那一片天。乌云遮盖了我的一道月光，无法照亮我黑暗的心房，看不到快乐。

如果精灵是存在的，它是否也和我一样，心里流着哭泣的血液？

对不起，原谅我的任性，体谅我的我行我素。

隐鱼

刚在网友的Post看到很有趣的故事，是关于隐鱼和海参互影的关系。她刚和男友吵架，便运用了这两者的关系来作比喻，说两者虽然看似不协调，但两个人在一起，原本就是来自拥有不同的生活习惯，和不一样利益关系，隐鱼能的到它想要的安全，海参也不会孤独寂寞，因为有另外一个虽然和它不一样的生物在它体内，息息相关。也就是说，能在一起，生活上的不便或不协调一定会有，但如果不会为对方带来害处，能在一起，就是缘分。

我不想讨论到底会不会认同。但以这种方式来作比喻，感觉好新鲜。也跟男友说，我也向做一条隐鱼，永远受保护，也无需忧愁生活。但，他很快的便答道：“恶心！” 哈哈哈！不过想想也是啦！给你活在肛门里头，再安全无忧，也开心不了吧！

所以我便八卦起来，浏览有关隐鱼的资料。也让我看到这以下这一篇来自网上的相关报导，觉得蛮好笑，也很有意思。嘻嘻！隐鱼是活动于海洋深处的“隐士”。这会儿，一条隐鱼正在四处游动，寻找着目标。哈，很快就找到了一只海参。这时，隐鱼将头凑近海参的屁股，这是在找海参的 肛门。瞅准了海参肛门的位置，隐鱼便把身子掉了个头，将尾巴对住了海参的肛门，然后，将尾尖插了进去，不一会，它那细长的身子，整个都钻进了海参体内。进 入海参体内，便进入了一条黑暗的“隧道”——海参的肠子。虽然这条“隧道”又窄又黑，可对隐鱼来说，却好比是一座五星级的旅馆：海参进食时，新鲜的海水不 停地从“隧道”中通过，还捎来不少吃的东西，真是不愁吃喝；海参的身体又好比是一座“掩体”，呆在里面，就不怕敌人的进攻了，真是保险得很。既然里面又舒 服又安全，隐鱼便乐在其中，很少钻出海参的身体到外面去活动。当然，有时候也不得不把身子的前部伸出海参的身体，因为隐鱼的肛门在它的喉部，把身体伸出一 部分是为了排泄。看来，它还挺注意保持“居室”卫生，不随地“大小便”呢！虽然隐鱼从寄生于海参体内得到了不少好处，可海参却并没有从中得到多大益处。更 何况隐鱼不时钻进钻出，时常会对海参的消化道产生某些伤害，怪不舒服的。虽然如此，海参也无可奈何。不过，隐鱼总算还讲一点“情面”，并不从海参体内吸取 营养。

　　与海参相比，那些被盲鳗“看中”的大鱼，命运则悲惨得多了。盲鳗也是生活在深海的一种鱼类，本来，它们有自己的家，那就是海底那些像火山口似的洞里。可它们从不安分守己，因为它们太贪吃了，而且食量很大，一条盲鳗一天可以吃下超过自身体重20倍的食物。

　　寂静的海底，一条细长的东西在快速地游动，这就是盲鳗，它正在寻觅食物。很快，一条游动的大鱼被它发觉了。它迅速冲了上去，像一条蛇一样，将这条大鱼 缠绕起来。大鱼受到突然袭击，拼命地摆尾游水，想甩掉这个缠“人”的家伙，可哪里摆脱得了呢！这时，盲鳗趁机咬住了大鱼的腮，跟着整个身子便钻了进去。钻 进去后，它不再那么赶忙了，而是在鱼肚子里“安营扎寨”，细细品味大鱼的内脏。有的时候，盲鳗会让大鱼将自己“吃掉”，这是钻到人家肚里的另一种途径。其 结果，当然也是大鱼的内脏被吃光掏空了。至于为什么叫它们盲鳗，则是因为多少代以来，它们都以大鱼的肚腹为“家”，眼睛的视觉功能已经退化，实际上是“睁 眼瞎”

Clinique 3-Step

My first approach to Clinique 3-step skincare was more than 8 years ago from my elder sister. Though many people do not like the alcohol smell of their toner, but personally I do like it very much, not for the smell, but for the result.Sometimes I do believe that we have applied too many skincare on our skin, and our skin does need some rest to simply rely on the most basic skincare: Cleanse, Tone & Moisturise.

As for Clinique 3-step, it emphasizes on simple and effective, it takes just 3 minutes, morning and night, to start to wake up in great skin. Developed by dermatologists and custom-fit to your needs, this logical skin care routine of cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize is ideal for all ages, all Skin Types—even sensitive skin.

In addition, the 3-step skincare is not very expensive.3-step skincare system: Facial Soap, Liquid, 200ml (RM78), or Bar 100g (RM55); Clarifying lotion 200ml (RM78), 400ml (RM115); Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion or Gel 50ml (RM87), 125ml (150).

It could be as low as just RM1.62 per day! (^_^)

Bio-essence: Tanaka White

Today after work went to Guardian bought a set of Bio-essence Tanaka White(whitening series), to use for travel or casual use. Well, it was highly recommended by a friend of mine, she is a big fans of Bio-essence and I do admit that her skin texture and complexion is getting better and fairer after using Tanaka White. Besides, also because of their spoke-person, Linda Chung(钟嘉欣）.
Well, before getting to know more about their whitening skincare, let's explore more about the main ingredience of the skincare - Tanaka.



All about Tanaka
Tanaka (also known as Thanakha) has a rich history in Myanmar. It is a tradition whitening secret used by women in Myanmar for more than 2000 years. It’s used not only in their daily life, but also in traditional ceremonies where face paintings bear cultural associations of nobility and purity.

The scientific name of Tanaka plant is Limonia acidissima. The best Tanaka plants are naturally slow in growth and it takes three to ten years for the tree trunk to grow two inches in diameter. It must be at least 35 years old to be mature enough to yield good Tanaka. The barks obtained from these trees are fragrant and resistant to pests.

Tanaka means both "cosmetic for beautifying the face" and "cleansing agent". The production of Tanaka for use is fascinating. The simple procedure involves stripping of the bark from the plant, soaking it in water and then grounding it on a mortar and mixed with water to form a fragrant paste to be applied onto the face. It is recognized as an effective and ideal cosmetic for those who have to work under direct sunshine. Women who work in paddy fields always wear thick layers of Tanaka to protect themselves from the harsh sun. It also cools and soothes skin to help prevent pimples.

Bio-essence adapts modern Bio-engineering techniques to extract highly effective whitening, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory agents from the Tanaka tree bark, providing the most natural and effective care for the skin.

The Tanaka Tree Bark Extract used in the Tanaka White Series has deep nourishing, hydrating and cooling properties, and is a tried and tested formula used to maintain skin fairness even under the sun, blocking out harmful UV rays and external pollutants.

Neutrogena "WAVE" Power Cleanser

Neutrogena new Wave Power Cleanser, a new kind of face cleansing tools in today skincare era. The advertisement is so fresh with their new spoke person, Vanessa Hudgens, one of the lead actress in High School Musical. It also comes in green and blue colour too!

I am wondering when we could get it in Malaysia. I am not sure if it is a good cleanser, but it is just sooooo cute, isn't it?
