分叉路口

常说,
只要双脚还在,
只要自己肯走,
路一直都在。

可是,
站在分叉路口,
要向左还是往右?
该如何走下去,
是抉择的犹豫,
看不到远方的尽头。

有时候,
脑袋不争气地挣扎,
真的很累。。。
什么时候,才能够停止。

Ogawa Mobile Seat Massage Cushion 按摩坐垫

What would you buy for your parents this Christmas? Or you are still thinking of getting something that is not very pricey and yet suitable for them?
今年的圣诞节会给爸爸妈妈买怎样的礼物呢?还是仍在物色着合适又不想太破费的礼物呢?

May be you could consider to buy this if you are running out of budget this year. :P Yes, it is Ogawa Mobile Seat Massage Cushion. It is ideal to put on car driver seat, office chair or even use it at home. (For more product information: http://www.ogawaworld.net/ourproducts/relaxation/MobileSeat/MobileSeat.php#pgtop)

如果还没有找到合心意的礼物,预算又有限的话,不妨考虑Ogawa的流动按摩坐垫。这款的流动式的按摩坐垫,无论摆放在车座、办公室或家里都很方便。(欲知更多产品介绍,可到http://www.ogawaworld.net/ourproducts/relaxation/MobileSeat/MobileSeat.php#pgtop
Actually I have bought this last few weeks when I was at The Mines with my man. It was a last minute purchase and I bought it at their promotion price at RM539 (NP RM899) that also come with two freebies. Furthermore, you are only have to pay RM89.90 per month if you are taking the Zero Interest Installment Plan for 6 months. :P
其实这张按摩坐垫是我上几个星期在绿野仙踪广场临时买下的,当时的促销价才539零吉(平常售卖899零吉),而且还额外免费附送两个小礼物。而且,如果你是通过6个月免利息分期付款的话,每个月只需要缴付RM89.90而已喔!:P

Though it is not an expensive massage chair, but I do hope that my dad will like it. :P
虽然比起其他的按摩椅来说,这算是最、最、最便宜的一个(没办法啦,太贵的我可卖不起),可是还是希望爸爸会喜欢吧!:P

Lunch at Bon Ton KLCC 午餐时间

It was a belated celebration for my dear colleague, Sree Nithiya. We went to the Bon Ton restaurant at 3rd floor Isetan KLCC. If it was not suggested by another colleague, I'm sure that I will never knew there's a restaurant somewhere hidden at the corner area in Isetan.
那一天是我们的秘书 - Sree Nithiya生日。我们午餐时间去了趟位于双峰塔Isetan百货三楼的Bon Ton餐厅。如果不是有同事介绍,也许我也不会知道那边有间餐厅吧?

The restuarant has a pleasant ambience. It's comfortable and quiet and the decoration is simple but unique. The foods are tasty and most importantly, the price is not expensive which does not cause a burden on my wallet.
这家餐厅气氛舒适宁静。装潢简单但不失特色。特别的是食物美味又价格合理,不会加重钱包在月尾来临的负担。 

We've booked our table before lunch and had a great time for an hour break on a hectic workday. (^_^)
我们提早预定了桌抬,在恼人的工作天来个一小时的欢乐时光。(^_^)
I ordered a set of medium-rare sirloin steak (RM25.90) and a glass of honeydew juice (RM7). I think it would be the best to have a glass of red wine, but too bad we can't drink liqueur during working hours.
我叫了份半生熟的牛排(25.90元)和一杯鲜揸蜜瓜汁(7元),如果来被红酒也许会更棒!可惜上班时间不允许喝酒。哈哈!

If you are happen to be there, do not forget to have a big slice of their signature walnut cheese cake. You will definitely fall-in-love with it. Somehow, I would suggest not to go for their original cheese cake (or plain cheese cake) because it is too sweet!! Unless your body's sugar-level is low. :P And, their banana crumbled pie also so so only, I not really like it.
如果你有打算到这间餐厅用餐的话,别忘记尝尝他们的招牌胡桃芝士蛋糕,而且保证你一定会喜欢。(^_^)不过,我并不建议点吃他们的原味芝士蛋糕,因为真的超甜!太甜了!除非血糖过低,不然最好别吃!:P 还有,那个香蕉酥皮甜点也不是很合我胃口,不是很喜欢。
At last, happy belated birthday to our birthday girl, Sree!
最后,当然希望我们的主角Sree生日快乐!

Origins Drink Up Overnight Mask Origins晚间保湿面膜霜

I would say Origins Drink Up mask is one of my favourite moisturizing mask and I can't live without this mask because I have a very dry and sensitive skin condition due to a very poor drinking habit. I drink very little water, especially when I'm busy at work.
对本人而言,我可以说Origins的Drink Up保湿面膜是我其中一款最喜欢的面膜之一,而且几乎有点无法活着没有它的地步。好像有点夸张hor?哈哈!但是,有时就是因为少喝水的坏习惯造成皮肤干燥敏感,尤其是工作忙碌的时候。

And, there's another good news for me where Origins is coming out another new dry skin solution lately, it's Origins Drink Up Overnight Mask. It's something like a sleeping mask where you are only require to apply it at night before sleep after your routine skincare, then leave it for overnight. (That's why we called it a sleeping mask where it provides the best treatment while you are sleeping.) This sleeping mask is now selling at only RM105 for 100ml.
还好,对我们这些皮肤干燥、又爱美的人来说,这一款新推出的晚间免洗面膜护肤品可以说是天大的喜讯。不用特意等上一段时间,直接在涂抹上平常用的晚间用的护肤霜之后的最后一个步骤即可,再充分利用睡眠时间好好给皮肤进行深一层修复和护理。而且,这一瓶容量100毫升的护理面膜霜只卖105元。

I am actually giving quite high expectation for this new mask because of their normal drink up mask which is efficient in hydrating and nourishing our skin. I have been using their mask for years and I will still continue to use it for a long time. Unless, this new mask can be another replacement for me because it is convenient and easy to apply. Else, it will definitely be another supplement for a last minute to quench skin's thirst.
老实说,我对这一瓶新的保湿面膜护肤霜抱有蛮高的期望,可能是因为我一直都很支持和喜欢此品牌的保湿面膜吧!加上此系列的高效保湿度和滋润成果对我而言是不容置疑的。所以我才会风雨不改的连续接二连三用了好多年,而且相信还会用上好久。除非,这一款方便使用的新面膜霜可以成功获得我的信任,从而取代。

According to Origins, the result after applied Drink Up intensive shown 90% instantly felt replenished, smoothed & soothed and 75% immediate surge in moisture levels.
根据Origins的产品介绍和经过临床试验结果显示,使用这款新的保湿晚间面膜霜能有效达到90%的光滑和安抚肌肤,充实肌肤结构,也有效的提升75%的保湿度。

It contains Avocado and Apricot Kernel Oil that deeply and instantly quenches compromised moisture reserves and builds a reservoir to deliver adequate water to every skin layers. Besides, the Japanese Seaweed also repairs skin's barrier to prevent future dehydration and signs of premature aging.

它包含鳄梨和杏仁油,大量补充为饥渴的肌肤提供水份,从而建立一个皮肤层水库。此外,日本海藻还有助于修复皮肤的屏障,以防止脱水和过早衰老的迹象。

Direction of use: Twice a week or as desired, gently massage onto clean skin at bedtime. Tissue off excess.
用法很简单:每周涂抹两次或者根据所需,在临睡前轻轻按摩干净的肌肤上。可使用面巾或化妆棉抹去多余或过多的面膜霜。

亚麻籽油 (Flaxseed Oil)

Last two days bought a bottle of Flaxseed Oil supplements for my dad from local pharmacy. The Flaxseed Oil is recommended for elderly and it is good to promote good health and it also helps to prevent certain disease.
前一阵子从药房买了一罐亚麻籽油给爸爸,是用来调理身子的补给品。这个亚麻籽油也很推荐给较年长的长辈,对调理体质和抵抗各种病痛很不错。
Of course, I did some research online of the benefit and about Flaxseed oil before I really include them in my shopping list.
购买之前当然少不了的就是上网作功课,多点了解亚麻籽油的益处了。

亚麻籽油 (Flaxseed Oil)
亚麻籽油是油料作用亚麻的种子经过压榨制取的油类。亚麻籽油可以增强智力,提高免疫力,保护视力,减少血脂,降低血压,稳定血糖,抑制出血性脑疾病和血栓性疾病,抑制癌症的发生和转移,预防心肌梗塞和脑梗塞,预防过敏性疾病,预防炎症以及减缓人体衰老等等。

在西方医学界,医学之父希波克拉底和诺贝尔奖得主阿尔伯特.施为策等历史巨人,曾先后亲身使用和强力推荐亚麻籽油,成功治疗各种炎症,疼痛,关节炎,心脏病,糖尿病,癌症和抑郁症等。

亚麻籽油-亚麻籽油生理功能
1. 健脑益智----陆地上补脑的食物
人的大脑组织中主要成分为脂类物质,其中约占总量20%的成分为Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸;而人的视网膜中的脂类物质中,约有40%的成分为Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸。严重缺乏Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸将影响记忆力和思维力,影响婴幼儿的智力发育,有可能造成脑萎缩、智障、老年痴呆、脑神经发育不良等疾病,轻者可引发抑郁、脑疲劳、视网膜老化和学习及工作能力下降等症状。
  
亚麻籽油含有丰富的Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸,含量高达57%,是目前已知陆地上Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸含量最高的植物之一。因而,亚麻籽油被认为是陆地上最补脑的天然食物,它对婴幼儿的智力发育、青少年提高记忆力、中老年健脑以及预防老年痴呆具有重要的作用。
  
2. 清血防病----预防心脑血管疾病  
◆ Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸是必需的脂肪酸,人体不能合成,只能从食物中吸收。医学研究表明,Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸具有降低总胆固醇和清除甘油三酯的作用,减少高血脂症的发病机率。
  
◆ Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸能抑制动脉粥样硬化,保护缺血性心肌,减少坏死区,维持血小板的正常功能。
  
◆ Ω-3不饱和脂肪酸还能增加高密度脂蛋白,抑制细胞摄取和蓄积低密度脂蛋白胆固醇,排除已蓄积在细胞内的胆固醇。
  
3.亚麻籽油配蔬菜预防老年痴呆
对于老年人,为了预防老年痴呆症等脑血管病和高血脂,可以在做菜时使用几勺亚麻籽油。

资料简约自:http://www.hudong.com/wiki

I am a little bit lazy to translate the English part. (Ok, I am lazy!!!) So, CLICK this link for more details about Flaxseed oil benefits in English (http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/flaxseed-oil-000304.htm)

Car Beauty 汽车美容

Finally sent my car to Cars International for a full package of beauty treatment this morning. It was the first time I spent so much on ONE beauty session, and not for myself but on my car. My wallet is so 'pain' now. *sigh*
今天早上终于拿我的车去做美容了,并用了一整天的时间摆放在Cars汽车美容中心做护理。这可是我第一次花费那么多钱给它扮美美,而且只是一次的美容护理!(而且还不是给我自己的!我的钱包很伤5678下!)

The package included wash & vacuum, lacquer compound treatment, polish, wax, cushion cleaning, engine wash, windows de-stain treatments...*sweat*

这次的护理包括清洗和吸尘、油漆复合处理、油漆抛光、打蜡、座垫清洗、引擎清洗、镜子窗户去迹处理等等。(听到的就是冒汗的价钱$$$)

My car is so lucky huh! But also made me to join Cars's membership which is pretty expensive for me. *sigh*

我的车子真的很幸运。非但如此,还“逼”我加入成为了对我来说很贵的Cars会员籍。唉!Anyhow, the guy Yong who cleaned my car is very professional and friendly. (^_^)
还好,那位姓杨的服务员蛮友善和专业的。(^_^)
Picture taken with my mobile camera. My car looks like new after the treatment, but who knows it was raining right after I collected my car. Hahaha!
图片用我手机的相机拍下的,车子好像新的一样,但是谁知道拿了车子后,天空开始下雨了!哈哈哈!

带走不属于我的

<每次我总一个人走
交叉路口自己生活
这次你却说等我走
某个角落就你和我
像土壤抓紧花的迷惑
像天空缠绵雨的汹涌
在你的身后 计算的步伐
每个背影 每个场景
都有 发过的梦>

杨丞琳的《带我走》,因为有爱,所以无论如何也希望可以鼓起勇气,希望有个人愿意握着她的手,就算结局会是个泡沫,也希望可以跟着他走。

这篇写的,不是关于这首歌,而是,现实中,会不会也和歌词一样?我真的不知道。因为,要打一场没有十足把握的仗,勇气不是说有就有,也不是因为有了勇气,就一定可以拥有胜利。可能,就算成功走到最后,当中担心受怕的日子,穷追不舍的噩梦,足以让你窜不过气。虽然没有放弃,却伤痕累累,走到最后也许仅剩下那一口微弱的呼吸。

多么希望,可以有种力量,带走不属于自己的悲伤、不属于自己的痛,还有那一些不属于夜里的梦。

每个人,心中都住着天使与恶魔。这一次,天使是赢了。可是,在另一角落的恶魔,卑微的哭声,更让人心碎,更让人恐惧。

恶魔的眼泪,你真的看得懂吗?

Last Night 昨晚

Last night had a wonderful dinner with my man's sister and brother-in-law at the Santini, Tropicana City Mall. The pizza tasted good (it's great to eat together with the sliced dried chilies) and I love their Calamari (fried squid ring)! *Slurp*
昨晚和男人的姐姐和姐夫在Tropicana City Mall的Santini进食晚膳喝酒。它家的鬼佬薄饼和炸乌贼圈非常好吃!尤其是炸乌贼圈,更加是大圈又多肉,很有嚼劲。一支棒!*流口水了*

Well, may be I have really stopped drinking beer for quite some times and I felt dizzy after only 2 pint of Heineken! OMG! I fell asleep right away when reached home (I thought of just take a short nap before having bath, because it's not good to take bath right after drinking beers), but who knows I woke up at 3am! By then only I went for a quick shower. Haha! And also, I almost forgot to book our flight ticket to Bali next year. Yes, Air-Asia is running their FREE SEATS promotion again, started last night at 12 mid-night. Lucky I still managed to grab our tickets at the end, because I heard my friends said this morning where they're unable to log in last night. I think it may be the time I logged on was too late, who wants to wake up at 3-4am to just buy an air-ticket? If not because I had not taken shower, I think I will continue my sleep till the next morning! *Blerk!*
也许是很久没有碰过啤酒的关系,应该有超过两个多月没喝啤酒了吧!为什么?可能就是不想再当酒鬼了吧? 谁知道昨晚就只喝了那两杯的啤酒,就头晕晕了。回到家倒头就睡。原以为就是想洗澡前先歇一会儿,因为喝了酒后不应该立刻洗澡(是血液循环的缘故吧?)。怎知道我起身的时候已经凌晨3点了。立刻去卸妆洗澡,然后上网定购去巴里岛的机票。是的!Air-Asia航空昨晚半夜12点开始就发售免费机票了!还好我最后还是成功买了两张双人来回机票,真的很开心!今天早上很多朋友同事都说他们昨晚连网站都无法进入。如果不是因为我还未洗澡的关系(好啦,我知道我很肮脏),我想我也不会三更半夜起来上网吧?我倒不如继续约会周公!

Now, I am looking forward to our trip at Bali, it would be a romantic trip as told by him. Kekeke! We have booked our hotel at the SpaVillage Resort Tembok, Bali, and the room rates are usually 400USD and above. Also, the package inclusive of a very very romantic dinner where the chef will follow wherever place you want to have your dinner (I think it will be great on the beach, I guess. :P) and also, there will be a Sunrise / Sunset cruise too. (^_^)
现在的我嘛,真的很期待我们的浪漫之旅(他说的)。嘻嘻!酒店已经安排好了,就是位于Tembok Bali的SpaVillage Resort,它家的房间都是从最少400美金起跳,很美的喔!而且,我们预定的配套也包括了日出/日落邮轮,还有"私家"厨师跟着你,任你选择用餐地点。我想,在一片软绵绵的沙滩上躺着用餐,应该也很棒吧!哈哈哈!(^_^)

Well, for more information of Spa Village at Tembok Bali, you may also take a look at this website: http://www.spavillage.com/tembokbali/bali/index.htm
好了,如果想知道更多这家酒店的资料,可以浏览http://www.spavillage.com/tembokbali/bali/index.htm

It's awesome, isn't it? And, I leave the rest of the "romantic thingy" all up to your imagination. :P

是不是很不错呢?然后嘛,其余的浪漫情景,唯有靠你自己的想象力了!:P

Iphone offer exclusively for the group employees!

唔。。。250零吉,不如我给你??

阿原肥皂 Yuan Soap

这一款来自台湾的天然肥皂其实在香港和台湾已经流行好一阵子了。可是,最近我才在本地看到。虽然价钱比一般的肥皂来的贵,不过由于它是全天然的缘故,我还是抵不过诱惑把它买回家了。而且这一次我买的是绿豆薏仁皂,可使用于全身,连脸部也非常适用。况且,买一个大块装的,还免费获送一个小块装Soapy品牌的薰衣草肥皂,味道相当棒非常的天然、也不刺鼻。更多有关Soapy品牌的网站(http://www.soapy.com.my/mbc/main.php
Yuan soap is very popular and has been introduced into Taiwan and Hong Kong market for quite some times. However, I only realized it is now also selling in Malaysia lately. Although the soap is slightly more expensive than the ordinary soap selling in local stores, but I still failed to control my desire to own one of this natural handmade soap. At this time, I bought a Mung bean (Green Bean) and Barley soap which is suitable for full body use, from face to toes. Furthermore, I got myself a free Soapy's Lavender body soap when purchased a big piece of soap from any range at RM22.90. The fragrance of this small Lavender soap is very mild and natural, and you can even see the natural ingredient of lavender in the soap. More about the brand - Soapy (http://www.soapy.com.my/mbc/main.php)
我当晚就使用了较小块的薰衣草肥皂洗澡,泡沫适中,清洁能力佳,肌肤不会过于刺激皮肤(但我还是建议洗澡后要立刻涂抹润肤霜,因为用后还是会有一点点紧绷),唯一令我有点失望的是擦干身体后留下的薰衣草味道没有很显著。不过,每次洗澡之前,我都会闻一闻薰衣草的味道,感觉很舒服,带个好的心情洗澡去!用后体验,对皮肤还是有一点干,然后用后香味不持久,我希望的就是洗澡后全身都是薰衣草的那种!:P
I tried it on that night with the small piece of Lavender soap. I am pretty satisfied with the cleaning ability with a moderate foam. It does not harsh my skin after washed (but I’m still suggest to apply lotion after taking bath or shower cause it is still a little bit dry). The only disappointment about the soap was that the fragrance is not long lasting and I could not smell any Lavender when I dried up my body, though my man said it did leave a mild Lavender fragrance on my body (Yes, I “forced” him to smell me!Wahaha!). If there’s, it must be very mild natural fragrance. However, I would love to smell the soap before taking bath, because it makes me feel good and have a pleasant bath-time. My comment about this Soapy Lavender soap was it's still a little bit dry on skin and the fragrance doesn't not last long after use. What I really like is to have a long lasting Lavender fragrance after bath and I believe it would be great for a good sleep. :P
今天的主角,可是我还没有拆开来用。哈哈!不过,我一定会用后补文。要等我喔!
Today protagonist - the Yuan Soap, but I have not opened to try yet. But, I will definitely post my after-use review some day. So must wait for me ya!
阿原绿豆薏仁皂 Yuan Mung Bean & Barley Soap(100g)
特别给怕黑、有化妆、和在乎肤色不均匀的朋友,因为绿豆和薏仁粉有很好的洁净和美白效果。我之前也有使用绿豆薏仁粉面膜,效果也蛮不错。
This is special made for those people who are afraid of getting dark skin, frequent make up and concern about uneven skin tone. It’s because mung beng and barley powder is very efficient in clarifying and skin brightening. I have tried the mung bean and barley powder mask and the result is pretty good too. However, it is crucial to apply a hydrating moisturizer after face wash with soap or after applying any deep cleansing mask. It is because I often experience that some of the soap type cleansers or skincare that is purely use for clarifying or whitening are usually quite dry after use.

成份:绿豆、薏仁、丁香精油、肉桂精油、橄榄油、葡萄子油。
Ingredients: Mung bean, Barley, Clove Oil, Cinnamon oil, Olive oil, Grape seed oil.

除了绿豆薏仁皂,此品牌也推出了很多不同系列,针对不同皮肤状况的肥皂,例如销售量冠军的艾草肥皂清凉退火洁净呵护皮肤、提升保护力避免肌肤被环境伤害的金银花肥皂、紧致毛孔美白肌肤的柠檬肥皂、舒缓皮肤功效洁净豆花脸的紫草洛神肥皂、使皮肤维持弹性及柔软的泥先生肥皂、改善体味洁净肌肤的清肌男生肥皂、滋润系列的苦茶皂、燕麦皂 和四神皂等、当然还有我刚买的净化系列其中一个绿豆薏仁皂了!据说柠檬肥皂也不错哦!下次有机会再试用吧!(^_^)
Besides the Mung Bean Barley soap, the brand has a wide range of varieties soaps that special handmade to cater different skin conditions, such as, the best-seller wormwood soap which is cooling and efficient to clarify skin, the Honeysuckle soap to enhance the skin protection layer to prevent harmful damage from environment, the Lemon soap which is use to tighten pores and skin whitening, the Lithospermum Roselle soap is good for soothing, the mud soap which usually use for man to maintain skin elasticity and smoothness, the bitter herbs soap, oatmeal soap and Si Shen soap from the nourishing series, and etc. I heard the Lemon soap is not bad too! May be will give a try next time if possible! (^_^)

我在想,它家的洗头水不知道好不好用?好想试用,可惜这里还没有真正的专卖店,而且暂时来说还不是有很多选择,所以没有办法啦!
I am wondering if their shampoo is good or not? Unfortunately, they have not many choices here in Malaysia, therefore I have no chance to try it yet. Haha!

目前这家品牌的肥皂通常都在本地的有机商店有卖,而我知道的就只有这几间,位于Pavilion、Sunway Pyramid和Tropicana Mall的BodyBars。
Yuan soap is usually available at the local organic stores, and I only know it is selling at the BodyBars stores at Pavilion Mall, Sunway Pyramid and Tropicana Mall.
有兴趣的朋友可以透过这个网站获悉更多相关品牌和产品 (If you are interested to understand more about the Yuan’s brand, you may log on to their official website for more information and product ranges):http://www.taiwansoap.com.tw/

也在此网页看到有销售这类品牌肥皂的商店(I have also found a webpage that provides the stores location),http://a-yuansoap.blogspot.com/2009/01/where-yuan-soaps-are-found-and-sold.html

Palmer's skin therapy oil雅儿可可脂皮肤治疗油

I have a very sensitive and dry skin. That's why I can't live without lotion, ans sometimes oil type of skincare really crucial for me. Last month, my skin condition was getting pretty bad and dry, which always cause skin itchiness and infection if the condition is real bad. But now my skin is getting better after I applied the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formular Skin Therapy Oil which was just newly launched in the market.
我的皮肤一直以来都比较偏干和敏感。所以无论是在办公室还是房间都摆放林琳琅满目、各式各样的如润肤霜。没有了它们,我根本就无法生存,特别是有点油性的润肤霜。上个月由于皮肤状况较差,所以很干燥,加上无法控制的抓痒而造成皮肤发炎。不过,自从开始使用了刚推出市场不久的Palmer's可可脂皮肤治疗油(护肤油)后, 皮肤状况好了很多。

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil is an advanced multi-purpose skin perfection product that can be used all over body. The texture is very light and non-greasy. This lightweight formula contains an exclusive blend of key ingredients for scars, stretch marks, dry, damaged skin, uneven skin tone, aging skin and fine lines and wrinkles.
这新推出的护肤油可用于全身,甚至脸部。它的质地非常清爽,也不会油腻,特别针对疤痕、妊娠纹、干燥、受损皮肤、不均匀肤色、老化肤质、细纹和皱纹。

After applied, my skin is nourished and feel smooth. And, I quite like the nature fragrance of Cocoa Butter. Sometimes, I do worry that the smell of oil-type skincare, especially if it's for body use. Besides, the non-greasy formula really met my needs because I really hate the stickiness feeling on my body.
我通常都是在洗澡后使用。涂抹在皮肤后一点都不油腻,很有效的滋润皮肤,而且带有淡淡的清香。有时候,我其实是蛮怕使用润肤油,因为感觉粘粘的,味道通常也不好闻。不过,这一瓶并不会。

According to the trusted information online, the new from Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula comes a breakthrough in skin technology! It is a preservative-free, light-weight concentrated “dry” oil ideal for daily use all over the body and the face. It works pretty good on my body and I have never tried on my face yet. I have no gut to simply apply anything else on my face. I'm very concern on the skincare for face. :P
根据可靠的网上资料显示,这瓶突破性的全新配方,是不含防腐剂、质地轻盈,适合用于身体和脸部。虽然我还没有试用于脸部(我对脸部护肤品比较谨慎选择),但是我可非常满意它给我皮肤上带来的滋润。

This skin therapy oil uses carefully selected ingredients such as Rosehip, Sesame and Canola oils, 100% pure cocoa butter and Vitamin E.
此外,它家是使用精心挑选的野玫瑰果、芝麻、菜籽油、100%纯可可油和维生素E等天然成分。

One of the reason I like about this therapy oil is because it's instantly absorbed, dermatologically tested and it helps to even our skin tone for a naturally glowing complexion too.
其中一个令我喜欢上这瓶护肤油的原因是应为它非常容易和快速另皮肤吸收,更经过临床实验证明有效改善不均匀的肤色,令皮肤健康和有光泽。

I have been applying this therapy oil for a month and I am satisfied with the result. The marks or scar (especially on my legs) is fading and the skin tone is very much well-toned.
我本身已经使用了一个月,也非常满意它的效果。就连皮肤上的疤痕也有稍微改善变淡(尤其是因为皮肤敏感而留下痕迹的脚部)。

Although it comes in a very small bottle, which is just 60ml, but with just a few small drops, rub evenly on your palm before apply on affected area or on your body is pretty adequate. Furthermore, it is not expensive at all and can easily get it from the local pharmacy. It's selling at only RM29.80 for a bottle of therapy oil which can be used up to 3-4 months.
虽然它的容量并不多,只有60ml,但是只需用上几小滴的护肤油,用手掌轻轻地搓开,便可以涂抹整个所需的部位。 再加上它的价格非常便宜和容易入货,只需付29.80零吉便可以用上2-3个月了。

那时的我们 We Were

人的回忆,真的美妙。我们永远不知道它什么时候会出现,什么时候会躲起来,也不知道会带给你怎样的体会。
Do you know that we have a wonderful memory system? We will never know when will the forgotten memories re-appear, when will it hide away and do not let you remember them, and you will never realized how deep is the impact of every details memory.

昨天,看到有位中学在面子书放上他们班的相片,令我有个冲动很想也放上我们班的。(好啦,我是跟屁虫!)
Yesterday saw one of my secondary schoolmate uploaded their class’ photo. It made me thinking of uploading our class’s photo as well. (Alright, you may call me a follower/ copycat.)

就这样,再次看了很多以前的相片和中学时代的朋友知己。突然间,感触良多,真的很想念他们。有大部分的朋友外貌都变了,有些也失去联络了,也有一两个已经不在人世间了。
Because of this, all the sweet memories flashed through my mind after looking at our school photos and those who used to be my best friends ever in school. I really miss them. Besides, I noticed majority of us have changed from appearance to lifestyle, some may have lost contact, and one or two were no longer in this world.

朋友,无论我们相隔有多远,有多近,我希望中五过后的我们,都过得快乐!还有,我好想念你们。
My dear friends, no matter how far or how close we are, I hope all of us have a happy life after Form 5!

还有,我好想念你们。
And, I miss you guys.

谈何容易,做人难

那天有位‘高人’说,我是个在感情上很念旧的人。

对,我对什么事情都很念旧,很多时候都念念不忘。不过,一定不在爱情上。

一旦重新爱上,便无法说服自己再爱上另一个男人,更不可能会同一时间爱上两个人。爱与被爱,都希望会一样。情人不是玩偶,只要一个就够了。

也许,我只可以说,我虽然念旧,但我更珍惜现在。也许,是因为我不想以后的日子有太多的后悔。日后会有后悔,也是因为我现在做得不够好。

昨天,我真的很开心,因为他为了我而安排的浪漫假期。

可是昨晚却因为某些事,弄得我睡得不是很好,我真的很心痛。

为什么有些人就是不明白,父母的养育责任,不应该是他们一辈子的负担。有人说,儿子是来向父母讨债的,所以一辈子都要为他们担忧、无微不至的照顾、甚至不惜任何代价,也无怨无悔的付出。

可是我说,亏欠的,应该是我们做子女的。我们一生下来便是一个穷光蛋。非但是一个连吃和穿都没有钱买的穷光蛋,也是一个没有知识没有头脑的穷光蛋。是父母的不忘回报的大爱,提供了我们喝的、吃的、穿的、住的,就算他们没有受过高等教育,确实是世界上最用心良苦的老师,教会了我们了人生的第一句话,教会我们如何拿起汤匙,教会了我们如何走路,教会了我们做人的道理。是谁把一个什么都不会,什么都没有的穷光蛋,默默地灌输爱与教育,丰富我们的年幼时代,甚至没有期限的把最好的留给我们?是他们,让我们富有。

我好希望,打开那些不会珍惜的人,看看为什么他们的脑袋里,忘了如何体谅,忘了如何写一个‘孝’字。

百善孝为先,真的有那么难么?

之前写过,子女的和睦相处,相亲相爱,是对父母之孝顺也。可是,有些时候,有些人,我真的越想越气。有些事情,谈何容易,但做人难。什么时候,我们都可以不再心痛? 被刀割在心胸的痛,如果可以抵抗父母的忧心,我不介意多顶几刀。

有人觉得我的人很假,是因为我把道德观,人生价值观抬得很高。有时候,哪怕别人认为我假,我只要是对自己真,我只想对自己的良心好过一点。
