Lotte Collagen 10000mg + Vitamin C.

OK. I'm 23 and my skin started to age. Symptoms? Fine lines and enlarged pores. Poor me. Having a 18-year-old cute face with old skin. :(

Recently, I purchased a collagen powder from an online store and it's in 375g refill pack (no $$ to buy the 200g tin version). The tin version can last for one month while refill pack can last for 2 months. It suppose to show result after consumption of 2 - 4 weeks.





If you don't know what the benefits of consuming collagen supplement, here's some information about it.

1. It fights aging.
2. It gives energy to carry out exercise or work (some sort like energy booster).
3. It helps avoid fat storage in body.
4. It helps protecting your body from chondrodystrophy (a type of cartilage problem).

For further benefits, you can always Google. :D

The instruction for consumption is 1 spoonful of powder mix with water, tea, juice, milk or any form of food and consume. Since the dosage of collagen is high (1 spoon = 10000mg), I only take half spoon (fear of over consume).

It's quite expensive but I think it's worthwhile because you nourished your whole body. I think it's much better than splurging on skincare which take care of your skin from the outside. :)

Btw, will do update 2 weeks from now on the improvement I get from consuming collagen. :)

Courier Services.

I've been an online shopper since (I think) 2 years ago. Well, for the reasons that I'm staying at Kampar (no malls here) and the nearest city will be Ipoh (need to take bus go there - hustle). And whenever I went to malls, it seems that I'm too lazy and tired of walking around searching for things I like. Way too tedious!

I shopped for clothes, accessories, beauty masks, my yoga mat, make-up, tupperware, shoes, and most recent purchase (just arrived yesterday!) Lotte Collagen powder. And my sellers shipped my items through various courier service providers and most of them uses PosLaju.

While PosLaju efficiency is great in Teluk Intan (where my items will arrive in 1 day)and at my home, it's not the same story in Kampar. My items arrived after 2 days and the postman didn't even call me to pick up the parcel downstair. So, you see, everytime my sellers use PosLaju, I need to travel to the post office at old town to pick it up and for your information, the service at the post office is so slow.

So, one day, 5 and I asked the clerk whether we can make complaints regarding the PosLaju service. She directed us to the postman office at the back lane. There, we meet a kind officer who take down our complaints and offer us helps. He said if next time we want to pick up our stuff, we just meet him directly. That'll help us save time queuing in the post office. :D

While other courier service providers like Skynet and Kangaroo are great! The Skynet uncle will always call me half an hour before he delivered items to my home while Kangoroo handsome will send it to my doorstep. And best of all, they only require one working day to deliver the items!

So, in conclusion, I still prefer Skynet and Kangaroo. :D

Shyh Yoong's Birthday (25 April).

Originally, we planned to have a surprise birthday for him by surprising him at his hostel. But somehow, plan not successful. Well, at least he had a proper birthday celebration after being "tortured" by his friends. :D

Sis "pakat" with his housemate to let us in during midnight. After successfully entering the hostel, we lit up the candles at the stairway.

Lighting the candles.

Birthday boy and birthday cake. :)

Well, it was a simple celebration with only 5 people involved (including the birthday boy).



Lastly, wish you have a great year ahead! :)

Blackout in Kampar.

Blackout rarely happen in Kampar. As long as I remember (I'd been in Kampar for almost 3 years), only minor blackout (less than 5 minutes) happens like 5 times (unless you're a Westlake residence, then your blackout frequency higher than mine).

So unfortunately, "major" blackout happened! And it's for almost 4 hours. And it disrupted all the activities of Kamparians. I was sleeping when it happened at 5.35 p.m. And 5 told me that his friend told him that it'll last till tomorrow! Hey, I need to study! Eventually, we (me and my sis) decided to call our dad to ask him fetch us back Teluk Intan. Sis are having their final exam on Monday, so need to study. But didn't call and we went to "lepak" at Tesco. It's the only place that we could think of that have light and air conditioner.

We went with 2 motors. And Tesco is so crowded. We went straight to the frozen department to have cool air. :D Walk around and decided to have sizzling noodle at the food court. Never I see that Tesco's food court would be that crowded! It's like the seats are 80% occupied and the sizzling noodle counter is having a long queue! Wow!

After "lepaking", we went back home. It was scary! No lamp post, it's total darkness. And we're riding motors through the main road. And guess what? The motor "sei fo" thrice at the main road junction. So scary. T.T

Luckily arrived home safely. And lucky electricity came back. :D

And now I shall resume my revision. Sekian terima kasih. :)

Gossip Girl.

5 had copied the whole season 1 of Gossip Girl (TV Series) like 2 months ago and I started to watch them 2 days ago.



5 and I watched it together. He said it's going to be a misleading drama at the beginning but he seems to like it! And me too!

We like it for the lesson we learned in every episodes. Every characters in the series are the portrayal of the people in our society. And not to mention the beautiful actors and actresses in it! :)

My final exam is 13 days away and I know I shouldn't be watching it but worry no more! Cause I've finished watching it! Haha...

Should be going off to study now. Bye. :)

FBF Night (9 April 2010).

Haha...another belated post.

This is the first time (I've been in UTAR for almost 3 years) I attended an event organised by students here. The reason being I'm coming for the FBF Night is because of Ee Ven. Ee Ven is my bff. Me and 5 are coming to support her. :)

Really not disappointed of coming to the event. We just realised there are many talents (in stage performing) in UTAR. I love those people especially the MoonLiteKids and Hero and Max. Lovely performance for the ight. Besides, food and beverages are served the whole night. Means can eat whenever we want. Wee...

Didn't take much picture though. Too busy watch performances and eating. Haha. Btw, I'm quite happy with my outfit and make up for that night. I wear a halter and try to have smokey eyes (which failed) but it turned out quite good. :D

One of the best picture of the night. Me and Seow Poh.

Wa having so much fun that night especially at the end of the night where we were dancing away to the music. It was fun having fun with Ee Ven and I can see the happiness in her face. Congrats Ee Ven! :)

Should end my post here. Good night everyone. :)

SMKC Canteen Day (3 April 2010).

Yup. Another belated post.

I went to my alma mater, Convent Secondary School for the Canteen Day. Fond memories came back to me as I step inside the school. I still remember the Canteen Day in year 2002. I'm in form 3 and I can say that year was the best year during my schooling life. I love the teachers, the people around me.

Though I've left school for 6 years now, there are not much changes except a few renovations.

The surau under renovation.

The stage. It'd been cement based cause the previous stage crumbled (I'm not joking) cause of termites.

Actually the main purpose of going to the Canteen Day is to buy some books for my little sis. She says the book shop is having sales so we (me & my 2 other sis) need to go there to buy for her cause she's busy taking care of her class's "shop". =.=

The people.

The books.

The one we're looking for.

Walking around the school hall, we found this special place where we used to measure our height there.

Noob sis taller than me.

I'm still 158cm. Terbantut already. T.T

After fooling around, we went to the stalls to have a look. Food are not so attractive to me but their promotional skill and posters do look nice! Sure these kids put a lot of effort on it. :)

Nice poster.

Cikgu Mazura's stall.

The stalls.

We need to buy food fast because dad already rushing us to go home because he need the car to go Cheng Meng. So, me and my first sis went to the canteen corridor to wait for my second sis to buy food. (Actually, the stalls are on the field and it rained the day before, so...it's muddy and we don't want to dirty our shoes.)

That's the end of the Canteen Day report. Will do another post soon. :)

Respect.

"That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong."

- William J. H. Boetcker.

Get to know something that really upset me just now. I just wondering, ain't you suppose to go forward to things that you think is correct to carry out rather than agreeing to something you do not agree?

Many question running through my mind. I admit I've different philosophy regarding values. I had more westernized thinking than traditional Chinese thinking. Reason being - I trust what I trust.

For example, I had the same ideology with the above quote. I have few friends, and an army of enemies. I believe in life, it's rare that you can please everyone around you. If you attempt to do it, it's YOU who suffer at the end.

It's just a random post. I know I shouldn't be upset. Anyway, everyone had their thoughts. Just wish them good luck in their beliefs.

Ee Ven's 21st Birthday (23 March 2010).

Another belated post. And it's for my bff, Ee Ven. :)

Yup, Ee Ven celebrate her 21st birthday with me, 5 and Li Juan. A small celebration at Grand Kampar Hotel. Though we think of how to trick her on her birthday, somehow it failed. But never mind. At least we had a great time together. :)

Ee Ven with presents.

Ee Ven with cake.

Ee Ven with Li Juan.

Ee Ven with me & 5.

We had a quite dinner there. Li Juan surprised Ee Ven with a present at the middle of dinner. Her surprise works! Hehe.

Yummy mango cheesecake from Caker's Inn.

Halfway through eating cake, Ee Ven try to passed me her strawberry that Li Juan passed to her but eventually on the way passing it to me it dropped into the glass. Though it looked nice in the glass, but I don't dare to drink the water anymore.

Nice?

Time to open presents! Though I can't get what I want to get for Ee Ven, I hope she like the present me and 5 gave to her.

Ee Ven with cute bears from me & 5.

Ee Ven with cute dancing musical dolly from Li Juan.

The following would be some photos take I've edited that I like it so much that I decided to post it here to share with you. :)









And to end this post, a photo of everyone!



Have a nice day people! :)

Jade Emperor Birthday Celebration (22 Feb 2010).

Ok. This suppose to be posted 2 months ago. Sorry! :P

This is a "big" day for the Hokkien people. Also a busy day for my mum as she's taking orders to make kuihs like ang ku, mi ku, huat kueh etc.

Mi ku,

Ang ku.

Huat kueh. Left side one is the normal huat kueh and the right one are santan huat keuh.

Also, mum is taking a huge amount of orders! Let you guys see the photos in which all the finished products are being prepared to be send out. Yes, my parents do delivery also.

The living hall full of kueh!

Orders from customers.

Besides, my mum also need to prepare the foods and paraphernalia for the prayer at midnight. So many work and so little time!

Dried food for prayer.

Duck, chicken, fish, crab.

Roasted pork.

Sugar canes.

Prayers starts at midnight of the ninth day of CNY. It's a custom (or they created it?) Hokkien Chinese will bombard the sky with fireworks. Though it's beautiful to see, somehow I feel annoyed by it after seeing them for 30 minutes.

Here's some photos I took that night. Enjoy!

Dad and uncle.

Really sorry for not updating so long ya? :P
