Bought Harriston Durian Milk Chocolate from Chocolate Gallery aka Cocoa Boutique at Gohtong Jaya during my last trip to Genting.

Guess what? Wanted to eat it before CNY and this sight greeted us -.-” MOLD!!!

RM49 for 12 pieces went down to the rubbish bin. The most expensive chocolate we ever bought and at the end we didn’t get to taste it. Since we didn’t get to eat it, we broke one opened just to see how the filling looked like. Couldn’t eat, could only see. Such a pity.

Sigh… Should keep it in the fridge rather than in the cupboard. Due to the humidity and the temperature we had at home, it spoiled. There wasn’t preservative in the chocolate and the expiry date was March 2010. The packaging was just a layer of plastic wrapping the box.

Aih… Expensive lesson to learn.

First of all, I’m not paid for this. I know eoe.com.my has blogger review program but I didn’t join.

Few weeks back, I decided to print my photo with eoe.com.my. I have 2 years worth of photos(159 of them) that I didn’t develop. Having hardcopies are good coz you will never know when your softcopies will be corrupted. If it does happen, there goes all your memories. So I filtered out the photos that were worth printing and uploaded them to eoe.com.my for printing.

Only RM0.30/photo for 4R(you can’t get this rate in the market!) and there’s free shipping if your order more than RM35. I’m quite lazy to go out to send my photos to print. Not only that, I have to burn them into DVD since there were many file files and were huge! What a waste of time, energy and money. So eoe.com.my came in pretty handy.

From uploading to printing and to get them to my doorstep via Poslaju took only less than a week. I made payment using Maybank2u.

Wondering how to upload so many photos online without getting disconnected? No worries, they have their program for it, you can resume your upload anytime you want. All you need to do is download it, install it, choose your photos and upload them in one go. Just leave the program open with your connection of course and let it runs on its own.

Few years back, you really had to upload one by one but not now. You can still opt for one by one upload if you want ;p Why make your life so hard?

In fact I knew about eoe.com.my quite a while ago but those time I asked my friend to upload them for me since I didn’t have that many photos to develop so we combined so that could enjoy the shipping fee.

I do recommend this service It’s easy, do it anytime as long that you have your photos and internet connection, it will save lots of time, energy and money.

My friend shared this recipe with me but I haven’t got the chance or time to try it out. Going to post it to share it with you and also as my reference. It’s actually very basic recipe that you can find easily.

Ingredients:
50g honey
50g melted butter
200g cornflake

Optional:
Sesame, sun flower, almond, pumpkin seed, and etc. 25g each

Instructions:
1. Mix honey and melted butter.
2. Pour in cornflakes and other optional ingredients and mix.
3. Scoop the mixture into paper baking cups.
4. Bake in the oven with the heat of 150 degree Celcius for 10-15 minutes.

I’ve been trying to look for pencil liner so that I can line my lower lids. I cannot line my lower lids with SILKYGIRL Precision Liquid Eyeliner. I had one pencil liner from a very reputable brand, it’s not cheap but it failed big time, smudged like crazy even though it stated that it’s smudge-proof! I will blog about it next time.

Then I found IN2IT Waterproof Gel Liner somewhere last year. I drew it on my hand and it didn’t smudge or budge at all! No matter how I rubbed or applied water to it. I decided to get it in January after long procrastination. It cost me RM29+ (if I’m not mistaken), it’s below RM30.

It came with its on sharpener. Basically the package consisted of one gel liner and a hardened steel sharpener.

Usually gel liner comes in a small jar but this is pencil type.

Waterproof, long wearing, smooth, dries in 60 seconds, easy to apply, no smudging, no bleeding, no running are very important for me because I always suffered from eyeliner smudge.

The funny thing was that, I tried to draw it on my hand again after I bought it, it didn’t give me the effect that I experienced the first time I came across it. It smudged after I rub it with or without water -.-” At least it’s not as bad as the other eyeliner of mine.

Anyway, I took the risk and applied it for the first time. It didn’t smudge at all! It lasted the whole day even with very hot and humid weather. I was impressed! These photos were taken after 5 hours of applying it. No editing done to the photos.

However, lately, most of the time it smudged on me, I have no idea why. Why?

Since this is happening, good thing I have black eyeshadow, so I layer my eye shadow on it and it didn’t smudge after that. Then again… This didn’t work 2 weeks ago -.-” ARG!

At least it didn’t smudge immediately, only after 3 hours or so of having it on. Hmmm… Why? Why? Why?

Do I recommend this? Well… If you don’t have oily lids, then just go for it. If you have oily lids, you still can go for it but it doesn’t work all the time.

I saw someone posted in Facebook status about some abandoned baby news yesterday. Then today it’s in the newspapers. I’m referring to this news article, ‘Doll’ turns out to be dead baby.

It got me thinking… It’s not something new to hear about newborn being abandoned and left to death or some self abortion whereby they would threw their foetus away. Do you notice something similar that will always happen after that?

The foetus or dead baby will eventually be found even though he/she was being thrown away to place that people thought to be “safe” and would not be found. Be it to the drain, the river, the garbage pile, the bush, and so on be it properly wrapped or not. At the end, there will always be somebody that stumble upon him/her. It’s as if there’s something that will ensure that he/she will be found or stumbled upon by others no matter how “perfect” the thrower/murderer trying to cover the whole thing.

After seeing so many such kind of news, it really got me thinking. What do you think?

Continue from yesterday post…

I’ll just let the photos do the talking.

These are random photos that I had taken when we walked around the town.

We found out that there’s no Toto or Magnum there. Only Special Cash Sweep. Interesting eh?

Left: The landmark, it’s rubber tree sculpture.

Right: The coffee shop where we had our lunch, it’s called Popular Food Court.

Ordered kolo mee and kolo beehoon, RM2.50 each. I’m not sure usually the black pudding or blood pudding is included or not.

It just happened that my dad saw it there and asked the cook about it because he had not eat and seen it for decades! Then when we were served, we saw two cubes on each bowl.

This is my first time seeing and eating it. I kept hearing my dad talking about it and how my grandma used to cooked it when he was little. Finally, I got to see and taste it. The taste? Hmm… Nothing much… Tasteless. The texture was pudding like.

After lunch, we sent my bro back to his camp and we made our way down to Kuching after that.

This! The view that I missed during the previous trip when we were on the highest hill because it was raining. Now I got to take photo of it! The view was breathtaking! You’ll get better view especially if you’re driving higher vehicle.

Nice right?

That’s the end of my Betong road trip. My bro will be back next week and that’s also the end of his national service. Don’t think there will be any road trip in near future because it’s really not our cup of tea. That’s all for now.

We went to Betong again to send my brother back to his camp on 20th February. As usual we made stops at Serian and Lachau before heading further up.

Before turning into the junction to Betong, we made another stop at this place. I have no idea what place was it but it’s just right before the junction to Sri Aman and Betong.

I noticed this place got a lot of CCTV’s, they were everywhere! Each stalls had at least 2 CCTVs installed. Can you see how many here? Hehehe.. You can’t, the photos are too small ;p Anyway, I’ve never seen so many CCTVs installed in this one tiny place. Let just say there’s at least 20 of them!

After the stop, we headed up, up, up…

Welcome to Betong.

Heading to the bus station. The picture on the right is the bus station of Betong.

Left: Toilet break again! ;p

Right: Some random street of Betong.

That’s all for now. Will continue with the last part tomorrow.

Another made in Japan product that I bought along with Biore UV Perfect Face Milk. I have no idea why almost all the things that I bought that day were made in Japan.

I had not heard of Mandom Cleansing Express Eye Makeup Remover before this. I was just having too much time and decided to browse around Watsons. I came across a shelf with many products with Japanese words and got curious. Since I have the time, I studied them one by one until I saw this and immediately settled for this.

My eye makeup remover finished long time ago and had been using Loreal De-maq Elixir Concentrate Ultra Make-up Remover for removing all my makeup but got a bit frustrated when removing eye makeup with it especially after having heavy stage or photography makeup. I’ve been trying to get an eye makeup remover but I didn’t know what kind should I buy as I hate eye makeup remover for being oily.

Why I bought it?

It’s below RM25! How affordable! It also stated that it could completely remove water-proof mascara, water based, and with deep sea water. The packing was simple.

Mandom Cleansing Express Eye Makeup Remover wasn’t oily at all! Love it! It also removed my eye makeup effortlessly! Think of fake lashes, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, make up base, foundation, concealer and more all on the eye area.

I used to dread removing eyeliner and mascara but it’s so easy to remove with this without feeling oily or spend a lot of time. Even the eyeliner in my upper and lower lash line could be removed easily! It didn’t sting my eyes and didn’t blur my vision.

Usually I would spend at least 20 minutes or half hour just to remove all traces of eye makeup especially those special kind of makeup (stage or photo shoot).

This is by far the best eye makeup remover I ever use. Two thumbs up from me.

I’m not sure you can get it at Guardian or not. I bought mine at Watsons, tHe Spring. It’s located at the same row of shelves as Garnier products.

For so many years of booking flight tickets online at Air Asia website, for the first time I feel very stupid. I don’t know how to use the website! I got stuck when trying to make a reservation.

After I selected everything that was needed to find the available flight, I couldn’t find any button to proceed to the next page! There wasn’t any radio button to select the flight too. I was looking high and low thinking that I might have miss it since they had revamped their site. How am I going to book a flight without the “next” or “continue” button?!?!

I thought maybe it’s because of the traffic in the site now that caused the site couldn’t load properly due to the latest promo but it’s not. How could a simple small button that is so small in file size couldn’t load?

Was wondering and looking high and low for clue but nothing. -.-” Believe it or not, I tried so many times with different browsers and all gave me the same results. I even tried to book again after waiting for few hours.

I gave up searching on my own and asked Allen to see whether his side got such problem or not. At first he couldn’t find the button too but at the end he said he did. It took him quite a while too but not as long as I did *LOL*

Guess what?!?! What a smart user interface!

Last time, there’s radio buttons for you to choose your flight but now… WOW! Very canggih(advance) I tell you! Even me, an IT graduate and someone who spends more than 12 hours on the Internet daily couldn’t figure out how to use the site! Very funny don’t you think so? Maybe it’s just me for being that stupid?

I found out about it when I accidentally move my cursor to the fare column and noticed the change of the cursor. I thought I saw it wrongly so I slowly moved my cursor around again until I saw the change of the cursor, I clicked and VOILA! All the buttons came out! WAH! “Impressive”!

I feel like want to bang my head to wall.

p/s: The flight is not for me, how I wish I have the money and time to fly. Sigh…

I’ve been going to the gym since yesterday evening. Hahaha… Most of my friends will not believe me because going to the gym is never in my list or even cross my mind. I never even step into one until Level Up Fitness opened its door.

I was given with a one month membership to redeem but I didn’t redeem it even until now hehehe… Kenny did ask me few times when am I going to redeem it and I kept telling him I’ll do it after CNY. I didn’t break my promise, I really went to redeem my free membership yesterday, right after Chap Goh Meh *LOL* However, I redeemed the one I got when I joined the body combat session at tHe Spring instead of the one month pass ;p.

Actually thought of redeeming the one month pass but I couldn’t find the letter before I went out of the house, it’s somewhere in my room but I couldn’t locate it that day. I remembered that I had the other pass to redeem so I decided to redeem it instead of the one month pass. Anyway, I found the letter already. Will redeem that soon maybe in April or May. We’ll see.

Now… I’m having jelly legs because of the group classes that I joined. Talking about someone who never exercise for so many years *LOL* So far I had joined body sculpt aerobics, body combat, Taekwondo, and fitball aerobics. The last time I experienced jelly legs was joining dance class.

Body sculpt aerobics and fitball aerobics are really something! I got my jelly legs from these two exercises! I did body combat many times and pilates once but never gave me such problem. I thought body combat is vigorous enough but I was so wrong.

As for Taekwondo, it’s not that tiring except I sucks in my coordination. Learnt some tips on how to do self defence too. I have yellow belt in wushu but it was more than 15 years. Ask me now and I couldn’t remember anything about it except the ma bu and split. I couldn’t split now hehehe…. Ma bu is fine but Taekwondo didn’t use this. However, with my jelly legs I’m having, anything that need me to hold something similar to ma bu position couldn’t be done at all ;p

I didn’t use any of the gym equipment because I’m not interested and I have the bicycle and treadmill at home that I never touch, so…

That’s all about my group classes experience at Level Up. In summary, jumping, kicking, running, punching, stretching are nothing to me but not those exercises that need to incorporate things like dumbbell or gym ball. Don’t have that stamina. Need to build it.

Tomorrow I’ll join Yoga+Pilates and maybe a bit of body combat. Looking forward to the belly dance this Friday.
