The Quest For Flawlessness..

ok, since ramai yang cam interested la kan about what i used to combat my sudden attack of pimple and pimple scars. i guess pictures are the best testimonials..so here you go..

terpaksa diedit kerna agak seksis.. this was taken before i started using Noirliliana

note the redness on my cheeks and also pimples and scars especially on my chin..BANYAK gile..

after 3 days using NOIRLILIANA

note that the redness has gone and the angry red and bumpy pimples dah subside and kecut

taken just a few minutes ago..ni sans mekap sebab malas nak pakai balik bedak watnots lepas wudhu'..just bare naked skin

just to prove my point, tengok la agak pucat my lips sebab tak pakai lipstick..kejap lagik la baru touch up..so, ni after dah nearly 2 months pakai..the sweetest thing?..no more pimples on my chin..yehhooo!!

What I Use:-

morning and night (daily)

- Clean Rinsing Cleansing Oil

- Vitamin C Serum

- Citrus Facial Lotion

Morning

- Finishing Powder

Night, every 2 days

- Super Smoothing Sugar Facial Scrub

Every weekend

- Dry Cleansing Mask

MY VERDICT??-----> cukup puas hati as the effect can be seen sangat cepat ..mengalahkan SKII plak (no offense to those using it, it's just that i tak sesuai)..and believe me..i've tried st. ives, clinique and even estee lauder...macam2 la..and banyak la RMs yang telah abih juaa..tho masih blom tahap flawless..tapi nampaknye berkesan..

so, sesapa yang interested, go have a look at http://www.noirliliana.com/

Elizabeth (the owner) is a very friendly and helpful person, don't hesitate to ask her any questions. She can even custom make products for you. I had a baby balm custom made for Hamzah (excema) which can also be used for burns or insect bites.

Of Houses And Gardens..

in light of our canceled trip to bandung..me and the girls decided to change our all-girl's-trip to somewhere a bit near to our abode..ha ha ha..tak kira la kan memana pon..janji dapat melepak bersama kengkawan..

Cikdee picked me up and off we went for a Spa and pampering session at Tanamera in SS15. wow! 3 and a half hours of sheer bliss...i felt like a shiny new coin (dah kena sental/scrub bagai)...

then for lunch we had Korean BBQ at IOI Puchong New Wing..and petang sikit we checked in at The Gardens Hotel, Midvalley..

our room

bilik yg dah tak 'virgin'..haha...

then after some rest and freshening up, me and Cikdee watched a movie that was most probably the MOST expensive movie i have ever watched throughout my 29 years of life!! tapi cam berbaloi la i tell you, with the plush and heavenly red reclining sofa and blanket and undisturbed view of the screen...

we skipped dinner sebab kenyang gila makan lunch..at around 12midnite, Cik Sally telah join kami and bermula la gob session that ended with snores around 4am..abih semua citer2 lama kluar...hahaha..

esoknya, we had a nice buffet breakfast...balik bilik sambung ZzzZZZzz (ada org tu masa buat french manicure bleh berdengkur lagik..ish ish ish..)....the 12 noon dah bersiap mau checkout

kat Lobby....for those who are interested to know the verdict of me using the NOIRLILIANA products...well, tak sempat nak buat a fullblown review entry. but boleh tgk sendiri la effect on my complexion. cukup puas hati dah pakai nearly 2 months..now i don't have to use any foundation at all. lepas dah pakai serum and lotion just dust on the finishing powder and some blusher...and i am all set to go! my pimple scars are slowly fading and i think sejak pakai noirliliana ni, hanya seketul 2 jek jerawat naik tu pon in a day akan kecut and hilangnya la..

Saturday nite, my parents came from kuching. Sunday morning i took them and Baini to see the showhouse of our newly bought home..

Yes, me and MH decided to get another house. Alhamdulillah..rezeki...it's in Nilai Springs Heights and due to be completed end of 2011, just nice for when we come back from Australia..insya-Allah..

Here's the showhouse..we love the layout and design of this house as the kitchen is at the front of the house and the living area opens out to a garden behind. Unlike our Bangi house, this is more spacious..26x85. we figured we need the space as the kids grow up for them to run around. now ni all cooped up in the house jek and sebatang rumput pon takde..abih semua dah kena simen..

split level from dining to living area

the kitchen. senang boleh nampak siapa datang from the windows..

another plus factor is the big master bedroom..ample space for a walk-in wardrobe and a study area (perhap a treadmill?...hahah)

OK la price dia, masih mampu milik..kalau kat Bangi and the likes..rumah camni dah cecah nak juta la..merepeks kan?..takpe la kalau dah area nilai pon..it's not too far from Putrajaya..plus dapat free Nilai Springs Golf and Country Club membership (ni plg penting for MH, u think?) cos seblah jek and it's a gated community with security and limited units (only 83 houses)..

kisahnya bila i bawak my parents and my sister tengok the house...hmmm...guess what???

nampaknya my parents will be living just in front of my house, in the end!..yup, they also decided to book a house right in front of ours....with my sis as the co-owner...

terus jadi berjiran nampaknya...hehehe

October Updates

1. It's was my BIRTHDAY!!...29th to be exact on ..10/10. i had mixed feelings about this being my last year in the 2 series. next year i will be entering the 3 series..

terpikir balik..umur dah nak cecah 30s...what have i achieved?...okla, let's re-phrase it..what BIG thing have i achieved??...

bila terpikir soklan ni...mula la rasa tak best plak..aah..malas lak nak pikir.

anyhow, this year was one of the greatest birthdays celebrations i have had..3 birthday cakes!..wow..thanks to my colleagues at my office, my siblings and also my dear mrsm BP frens... had italiano and even bubba gump..

i feel much loved..THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

2. i have FINALLY decided which uni i'll be going to next year. Insya-Allah, jika tiada aral melintang..i'll be joining The University of Queensland, Brisbane for the february 2010 intake next year.

i hope i made the right choice out of the 3 unis offered. believe me, nak pilih masuk uni mana ni was tougher than buat decision nak kawen!..

so, now we are waiting to apply for visas and all the medical checkups and watnots..

3. Attended the compulsory BTN course last week at Balik Pulau, Penang. My owh my, the last time i set foot on that island was when i went to pick up my SPM results..and that was 12 years ago...things have changed a lot, man! i didn't recognize the pekan Genting and pekan Kongsi there...in fact..none were even familiar...

had a great time during the BTN course...out of the 2 times i went, this time adalah lebih berkesan di hati. i am proud to be a melayu and a malaysian...

i admit, being from the post-merdeka generation (yang memang takkan tau la camne rasa susah hidup dijajah orang)..i have always taken for granted that our country will always stay in the usual peaceful (now pon not so la..) situation. but after BTN, i realized that we have to work at maintaining our peace and stability. Maintaining racial harmony is no easy feat..silap sikit jek..and the thin line between peace and chaos can disappear sekelip mata...lest we forget all this..jangan lupa what happened on 13th Mei 1969.

you know, history is there so that we learn and never repeat the same mistake again..kan?

on a lighter note, ada ala² celebrity plak sesama join course ni which was our Angkasawan No. 2 tu. and no, not as a penceramah or wat..but yes, as a peserta himself as well...no diva-ish act from him, i find that he is a humble and friendly guy, always with a smile on his face..i have always thought that it should be him that should be THE Angkasawan, to me he seems like a random Malaysian, any normal guy you would see having teh tarik at a mamak stall or just any guy you would pass at a traffic light and look at without a second glance..

..but a normal, regular guy who has the extra determination, guts and spirit nonetheless to be the nation's first angkasawan..baru la Malaysia Boleh !!

my personal opinion is that SMS is TOO perfect, be it looks, qualification, achievements,etc..i mean, obviously he is not any random guy la kan..letak model seblah dia pon i'm sure that model pon akan nampak kurang cantek berbanding dia..cos..yeah..apparently he's a model, too....

apa benda aku merepek ni..

4. My intended trip to Bandung end of this month had to be forgone in light of what has been happening in our negara jiran itu. Though some say that it's not serious and shouldn't feel alarmed..ramai yang tak setuju ku pergi..some more it would be an all girls trip...

takpe, Bandung..akan ku sampai ke sana jua satu hari nanti!

no pictures this time..cam takde mood plak nak amik gambar...

toodles!!

Sorry!!

i have lots of stuff to blog and update about, open houses, birthday celebrations, etc..



BUT NOW I AM BITTEN BY THE 'MALAS " BUG!!!

What's Eating You??

the above sentence is something that you ask when someone is angry and you want to know why
apa relevance ngan this entry?..actually, nothing pon.

With the eat-drink-and-be-merry festive mood still thick in the air, my office had a small and cozy makan² raya session. The food was yummy and abundant...it was actually a good time to actually sit and have a good chitchat with colleagues..some pictures as below..

hmm..now i notice that i rarely talk about my office and work..haha..wait, i do talk about work but only when it irritates the $*it out of me...ok la..skang nak citer benda² yang best pulak..

emcee memulakan majlis

the big boss

semalam after work, i decided that it was high time that i had a scaling and polishing session with a dentist. Usually i just do it in Kuching with our family dentist. tu pon after Mak dah pester habis la soh gi ..else..buat donno jek kan..asal balik cuti jek confirm she set an appointment.

My mom is very anal about dental care. Dari kecik memang dia jaga. Nampaknya berbaloi juga la cos me and my siblings dari kecik sampai besar tak penah la ada cavity or tampal ke apa..with the exception of me with my gappy teeth, my other siblings nye gigi cantek la tersusun tak payah pakai braces..i think also berkat my mom jaga..(and also nag, too!)

Now, my own kids are a different story.

Hannah's teeth kalau tengok dia senyum memang OK. tapi bila nganga, Masya-Allah...gigi geraham abih out! memang cavity ridden...owh i blame no one but myself!! i guess sejak dari dia 1 year old plus dia tak breastfeed at night, she will sleep with a bottle of milk, then wake up in the middle of the night to which she will get another bottle of milk sampai tertido balik.....

actually this is not good cos milk solids will breakdown into sugar and acid. Lelama it will hakis the enamel hence..jadik la cavity..

and to put double blame on me..i punya la procrastinate about getting her to see a dentist to get them checked and filled. the main reason is because my daughter ni is very squeamish. nak suruh makan ubat pon dia sanggup muntah belahak balik. takut nanti dia takleh dok dendiam la on the dentist chair...so, bertangguhla...dekat setahun kot. lama tuh..

so, semalam since i wanted to see the dentist, i kind of threw the idea to hannah. Tetiba dia cam, " OK, mama..hannah naklah jumpa dentist. nak cuci gigi".

WHAT??!!...hannah mintak nak jumpa Doktor Gigi?? dulu sebut Doktor jek dah menjerit (cos she associates them with needles and ubat). Maka ku tanpa membuang masa lagi terus bawak gi Impian Dental Clinic near my home at Section 3.

Hannah was such a good girl. tak buat bunyi bising, nary a wriggle! but the dentist's findings about her dental condition made me want to weep! She had 2 very deep cavities on 2 of her geraham which is still tampal-able but one geraham cannot be saved at all. it was so bad sampai rupernya dah ada abcess bernanah on her gusi, which i and mika thought was her gusi protuding a bit. abcess tu due to infection from her cavity tu. No wonder la ada one time her cheek swollen. ingatkan sebab dia terhantuk ke apa ke..naper la tak click kat kepala aku. Ngok ngek betul la..

The dentist gave me 2 options:-

1. cabut the gigi cos dah takleh tampal dah

2. kena buat root canal

i didn't even know that kiddies can have a root canal even!..but in the end Hannah kena buat root canal jugak sebab kalau cabut, her gigi kekal lambat lagi nak kluar nanti susah la dia nak makan kalau cabut now.

so, semalam just tampal 1 teeth. Maybe today another one. the dentist gave some antibiotics to clear up the infection for 5 days. Next monday is her appointment for her root canal. kesian hannah umur baru 3 tahun dah kena buat root canal...ish ish ish...

but thumbs up for Impian Dental Clinic. the doctor and the assistant were very nice and gentle (both men, ok..). Hannah even got a princess sticker for being such a good girl. suka la dia..

alhamdulillah..hamzah's teeth are in mint condition. satu sebab cos dia ni memang suka giginya digosok. marah sungguh kalau stop gosok gigi dia. and another reason is that i tak biasakan dia minum susu tengah² malam once dia stop BFing. if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he will drink plain water...from a bottle that is. so far it's working..ni petua my mom. she said she did it with all of us.

oh yer, seblum gi ke dentist, sempat la gi amik gambar pasport bebudak ni..hehe..ni la hasilnya..

Euuuww!!

..found this through my feedjit...

sapakah pervert ini yang buat carian menggunakan keywords itu????

takde keje lain ke..

Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking..

what a crappy way to start the day..paling M.A.L.A.S kalau disuruh buat meeting pada hari cuti di mana sudah ada plan/itenary yang dibuat...i am crossing my fingers that ianya akan tak jadi and we manage to get a slot for that d*ang meeting on a working day...even meeting kol 8 malam pon aku sanggup..asalkan NOT this weekend..

feeling a bit sad. last night, more to anger and disbelief...

how would you feel upon discovering that you seem less than perfect @ flawed or senang citer..kurang cantik la berbanding orang lain.. in the eyes of the one whose opinion matters the most?

i'm sorry if you feel that way..but unless i resort to plastic surgery + liposuction..then this is what you are stuck with...

i'm sorry that for all the while you have been admiring 'beautiful' and 'pretty', in the end, u end up with 'plain' and 'ugly'...

i'm sorry if i seem to have not made an effort ...when in fact, I DO...so hard..but there are some things that do not come easily to me..much to my chagrin..

i'm sorry if you seem to agree with other's opinion...that we are like 'langit' and 'bumi'..that you deserve a butterfly instead of a moth..

i am sorry that you had to keep your true feelings all this while to yourself for fear of offending me..you knew how i would react and i reacted exactly as how you thought i would.

AND

thank you for making my already low self-esteem, plummet even deeper to the earth's core.





* updated

whoppee!! saturday's meeting re-scheduled to tomorrow..no working on the weekends..

-do the chicken dance-

tak kuasa aku nak spend my last 20's birthday with W.O.R.K..

also am feeling much better. it's not as bad as how i wrote above. i do have dramaqueen tendancies, which figures how hannah gets hers.. ;)

orang tu tegur sikit jek. mostly out of concern, but of course (mestinya la) i will take it to heart and analyze it to pieces and make assumptions..til it's way blown out of proportion.

anyway, writing IS a good release therapy..in fact..i am OK..
