My first KL trip by plane (Sep12)

I know the title looks sua ku, but this is really my first time going to KL via plane. The rest of the time was by car.

Tagged along my HB for a business trip earlier last month, I got a culture shock when I arrived at KL airport coz its the first time I actually walked down the stairs from the plane entrance/exit directly onto the landing area.

Day1
Left: Bus ticket to the nearest train station. Right: Train ticket

Train platform.

This is my first time taking train

Train exterior.














Except for the bigger gap between platform and train, not much difference to our MRT 

Train interior


















Extremely spacious with cool aircon. Not like SMRT -_-

I basically spent Day1 in the hotel room with no windows, 'nuahing' and watching tv and putting masks and etc.

Day2

Followed HB around with his dad's friend driving him to meet customers. Not much pictures as the places are more ulu than Tuas.

Cute kitten spotted while we were having coffee


















Took LRT around in the evening














They actually have this cute looking plastic token to replace the conventional tickets/cards. Scan it as what you do with ez link cards at the gantry, pop them into the gantry on your way out. (looks like putting coins in those piggy rides)

The locals are using cards thou.


Shopping time!

This sephora building is so beautiful!!! can it be called a building coz it is only 2 stores high? 2nd floor is its warehouse I think. Coz I saw a lift but it was not for customer.

We shared dinner as we were not too hungry

Most tender medium rare beef ! and the sauce was delicous

Super creamy pumpkin soup, too creamy for me.


Some desserts we bought in the mall

Day 3

TWG for me while waiting at the lobby for HB
I was finishing the pot of tea when HB came along and ordered this super chocolatey cake. Yummie~

No home sweet home for me as I've gotta work the next day. I hate work >_<
For some reasons I don't know of, I like taking the plane as much as I like to be soaked in the pool/seaside, but taking plane is too expensive for me, except for this trip as it cost just $100 by air asia.

I miss the plane so much now.O_O

Can't wait for another trip on plane soon!

Oct's Bellabox

Hi Everyone

I know I havent been posting bellsbox's post for a few mths now, because I'm dissappointed in the contents after the price hike.

The reason for me to post this month's box is because it has got my current love - Bioderma cleansing water. Read my previous post here.



















The sample given is only 20ml. Sufficient to go for a 3D2N trip.
















Includes a pretty pink mirror too

Not forgetting that this month is Bellabox's birthday. And to celebrate this, they have send us the goodies in a hot pink box!















Pair up with a black wrapper with pink ribbon

Friday Photo Meme - Childhood Snacks

Yay it’s Friday! This time, it's gonna be all about snacks that you've had in your childhood.

It's wierd coz I've scheduled this post in mid Aug but it still shows as draft!

Nevertheless, these are some childhood snacks that I love back then, and now too! =))

1. Dragon Beard Candy  


















 
   
2. Malt Candy


















I still remember they used to sell it in big metal bowls, with lots of disposable wooden plastics stuck into it. Whenever a customer buys it, the vendors will split the chopsticks and swirl the malt candy until it forms a round-like shape. And we have to keep doing that while eating to prevent the candy from melting due to the heat in the mouth.

3. Poh Piah (Sweet)




































On bottom, is the candy used as the filling, together with grounded peanuts. I think it is malt too, since it is always found together with dragon beard candy

4. Mua Chee













Made of glutinous rice powder, were cutted and roll onto the mixture of peanut and sugar (similar to the sweet poh piah) and eat as it is.


5. Buttered sweetcorn (No pictures)

Sold in many places including pasar malam, it is a totally ripped off! You can make it yourself by steaming sweetcorn kernels, sprinkle some salt and butter just before serving.

What was/were your favourite childhood snacks? Are they still available now? Do you still eat them frequently?

Marina Bay Sands

At the courtesy of my aunt's friend, we have gotten a stay in Marina Bay Sands!!








View from the hotel room.
Actually, we have stayed in MBS last year too. It was a suite with a separate bedroom, balcony links frm the bedroom to the living area. And there was also my favourite nespresso machine.
Sadly to say there is no pictures of the room previously and this time -_-.
But there are tonnes of them taken in the infinity pool!
I can literally stay in the pool the whole day if I don’t have concerns of getting tanned. The view is just too great. And thanks to the pool, I managed to learn how to use my new camera in night shot mode
Picture time:









This view just takes my breathe away











The nicest pic taken at night
This post is long overdue coz we stayed there during end of July... OMG!

July's Bellabox

July's Bellabox

I was waiting patiently and at the same time, excitedly for my box and it finally came. Congrats to the gals who won the Tiffany necklaces.




















The reason for delaying this post is that I've received my Jimmy Choo's perfume bottle without the perfume?!?!

My colleague did not believe what she saw and she even managed to open the rubber stuff at the opening to triple make sure that it is emply.. LOL! Lucky for me, bellabox was readily is replying and offered to re-sent me the perfume at no extra cost.

The only thing I've started to use is the twist bands.. Although it clainms that it will not cause any marks on the hair, but for me, there are still marks after I have un-tied it.

Have anyone started to use the twistbands yet? Did it leave any marks on your hair? Pls shared.. =DD

Haul from Korea

Happy mid-week! How's everyone coping?

HB went for business trip in Korea last month and how could I not ask him to buy me some Korea skincare and cosmetics! 

This are what I ask him to bring back (I only asked him to get some leaders solution mask, etude house eye primer & CLIO gelpresso)  
But he came back with more!
  
Ta Daa~


Samples~

Been hearing good reviews about this and some even say this is almost comparable to Urban Decay's. Sad to say this is no longer available, the only way to get it is from Qoo10 (previously known as Gmarket) I just saw this in Etude house recently. Probably they brought it back after many complaints? lol!

Etude House Eye Primer

My UD 24/7 pencil eyeliner in black did smudge after a few hours, but this is sufficient. Without this, the same eyeliner will smudge within an hour. I'm waiting to try this on my other eyeliner.
Warning: As I'm only using BB Cream as foundation, it appeared a lil' pale on my lids as if I'm using a pale eyeshadow when I'm staring at myself in the mirror. From far it looked ok to me.

Many claimed that this eyeliner will not smudge. I wonder how true is this.





 
CLIO gelpresso

BB cream that
he bought for (I did not ask him to). Actually I did but did not specified which brand so he got me this.



















Faceshop Faceit BB Cream

This is great! the staying power is comparable to Etude house's precious mineral BB Cream, but slightly lesser coverage. I'm still trying this out to see if it will cause some blemishes (not pimples) like the etude house's.














Assorted masks from missha

I have not tried out the masks yet, hope the leaders solution ones really delivers.

I've been lazy lately to use those mask + those I've had in my cupboard.

I think these are the norms that everyone will get when in Korea. Is there other items anyone out there will buy in Korea? Leave me a msg will ya!

Friday Photo Meme - GSS


It’s Friday again!

This time its all about things I've bought during the GSS season. not all of them are having promotions when I bought them, so keep a lookout for more promotions in the stores =)

1.  uCozy 
This is relatively new as I just got it in June. It is part of the bundle deal with uRelax that I got from OSIM during GSS. It cost S$138 separately (S$188 for the uRelax), but the bundle cost only S$288. The most exciting part? HB paid for it. Ha!

2. Heels from Pedro

Can you believe that it cost only S$39.90? part of the GSS sales item. UP S$89

3. uRelax
Actually this belongs to HB, which is now 'stationed' in the living room. Everyone treat it as a normal seat cushion now, occassionally, kids will play with the vibrating mode at the seat (read: area where the butt sits on). Now, it just sits at the dinning chair in the living room collecting dust! haha.

4. Sunplay UV Body Mist Sunblock SPF80 PA++ 


Sorry, the Mayasia site is the closest place I can find. I decided to get this baby (S$17.90 from Watsons, non promotional price) after seeing reviews from Alexis. Different product, but for the same purpose.

I have not tried this out yet, hope I will(can) use this religiously as I'm so lazy to apply anything on my skin (other than face) after my bath, especially prior to going out, unless I'm exercising.
I've managed to try this for once (at last!) it asorbed pretty quickly and the 'oily-ness'' (omg is there such word?) does not stay for long. I have to keep re-applying before i actually step out for the activity cause I thought I did not apply to those areas when I actually did!

The only down point is as it is a spray, some of it will tend to get onto the floor and if you remember, it is oily. Lucky for me I spray it in the bathroom. i did not try rinsing it away but I think I should not be a hassel rinsing it off.

5. Office wear

I want to know what items you guys out there bought during GSS too. Feel free to comment n leave me your link ya =DD
