Contact Lens.

Last May, I'd received my FreshLook® Illuminate™ Daily Disposable Lenses and I only try them out last few days. FYI, it's my experience using contact lens and I surprised that it actually makes my eyes larger and shinier. Hohoho...

Me with lens.

And as a first time user, I successfully inserted them in less than 5 minutes and remove them in 3 minutes. Quite an achievement I would say. :)

Rose Water.

It's already 6 in the morning and I decided to have rose water. The other day I went to the Chinese medicine shop to get "ching sam fo" (a type of herbal tea) and a jar full of dried red rose buds caught my eyes. So out of curiosity, I asked the shop owner about the benefit of consuming rose. He said that it can reduced stress and relieve anxiety. Besides, the owner also said it helps relieve the eyes and helps in getting good night sleep. So, finals are in 2 weeks' time and I need something that could help me relaxed. Therefore, I bought a packet.

Dried Rose Buds.

Close up.

The preparation is easy. Just immerse the dried rose buds in hot water for 10 minutes or more and you can have a nice rose water.



The buds. It looks like maggots though.

The colour is like normal tea.

Though it had no taste, but once you sip it, the fragrance of rose will stay in your mouth!

Out of curiosity again, I decided to Google for the benefits of consuming rose water and here's what I got:

1. Easy a heavy/troubled digestion process.

2. Rose water is consider a mild astringent. Hence, it a good form of toner as it helps to firm and tone the skin as well as moisturises it.

3. Natural rose water for drinking has a unique scent that empowers the mind and assists in decision making and completion of projects.

4. The rose water is increasingly used in treatments for conditions of stress: nervous tension, peptic ulcers, heart disease, and others.

Since there's so much benefits and dried rose buds ain't expensive and have beauty properties (main reason), I'm going to have a cup of rose water everyday.

Oh ya, the owner of the medicine shop also said adding boxthorn fruits will helps in strengthening your eye sights. Great!

So guys, don't mixed up the "sirap" water and rose water. sirap is made of mixture of rose water, syrup and colouring. So, it's not so healthy.

Will let you guys know if the bebefits really exists after a month of daily consumption. :)

My Birthday Post.

Ehem...my 23rd birthday was 2 weeks ago and actually there's nothing special happened anyway. A week before my birthday, 5 and I went to Ipoh to celebrate it. A day before my birthday, the whole family went to our favourite restaurant for dinner. On my actual birthday, I had dinner with 5, Teoh, Chua and Ching Yi at my favourite claypot chicken rice shop.

This year's birthday is different. No birthday cake (I requested my mum don't buy it), no birthday song (my sibling make 1 funny song with the birthday music so it doesn't count), no presents but I got 2 really nice cards. :) One is from 5 and another 1 is from Chua and Ching Yi. :) 5 gave me the card which he can record his voice and Chua and Ching Yi gave a card which they handmade. So sweet. :)

And there's much to blog about but I'll save it for next time. Currently, I got so much works to do. :)

Oh ya, it's the National Day today. Happy Birthday Malaysia! :)

Glee Season 1.


I'd just finished watching Glee Season 1. Tell you what...IT'S AN AMAZING DRAMA! It's not just entertaining but you get to know how to be a good manager in managing a team. Also, various social issues (especially teens) are raised in the drama. And one unique things that I like about the drama is they have casts from various ethnicity and they openly discuss races. Though, some may get offended by the dialogs in the drama.

There are a total of 22 episodes in the series and two of them are dedicated to Madonna and Lady Gaga. And most of the casts (in fact all) sings and some dances.



Among all the casts, I personally like Rachel's voice. It's so soulful and my favourite character would be Kurt (Kurt is a fashion savvy gay teen). And the 2.d Season will be out next month! Heard that Britney Spears will make an appearance in one of the episodes. :)

p/s: I'm currently working on my FYP. :)

I'm back!

All assignments and presentations for this semester are all over! Yay for that but I do not have much time to rest as I need to prepare to start my Final Year Project (FYP). Viva presentation will going to be on 7th / 8th week of next semester and due date for the FYP would be the 7th week of the next two semester.

Seriously, so much had happened and I wouldn't want to talk about it here and all I can say is it's a decision made for the benefit of all.

And I encounter so many peers with problems centering on their assignment mates. And all I can say is you guys need to make a decision - even it's nasty because it's your life and you take control of take. Seriously, many are too dependent on others and this will kill them in the future.

And for those who want to be Mr./Ms. Kind Hearted, please be remind that you yourself who can make you happy. And if you're helping someone but you don't feel happy inside, that means you're hurting yourself. Helping others means making yourself happy and making others happy.

OK. Enough of emotion pourout here. I need to sort out the photos for the next post. So, stay tune!
