Monday is here, which means CNY is just 2 days to go!! :0

So far, I've done with my
CNY shopping,
spring clean my room,
went for a full body massage,
did manicure and pedicure,

purple gelish color for my nails and black+blue for my toes ;)


and a hair spa treatment...


Just one more thing I need to do, preparing ang pao.... =_= Yep, this is the 1st year I distribute ang pao to relatives and friends. Not sure how to describe my feeling now, excited? LOL :D With all these, I think I'm ready to welcome the year of Rabbit. Now lets pray that my office works will be smooth and no more problems coming.....

Like I mentioned, works have been busy these few days! :0
While people are all excited and happy to welcome CNY, I suddenly lost the mood... :(
Anyway, no worries, I'm alright, just need to rant abit :P

Apart from the tension from works, I was informed that I won something from Vintages Noise!
Yea, the blog owner, Ming, picked me as one of her winner for her blog giveaway.

everybody loves free gifts!

it's a dreamcatcher! I never know whats a dreamcatcher until I read from her blog, LOL :P
Thank you Ming for the lovely gift! ;) Til then, wishing you a great weekend! ^^

I have not been updating very frequently these few days... works have been very busy! I'd say this early 2011 is indeed not a very good start for me.. =_=

Anyway, CNY is less than a week to go!! Since most of the blogger friends shared their CNY shopping loots, I feel like doing the same too :P
I got the least CNY clothes this time around, not sure why but just not in the mood of buying.. perhaps the different fashion taste? Nonetheless, since its CNY so die die also must buy at least one piece la right! *wink*

clockwise from top left: black spagethi layered top from Kitschen, pink flowery top from Sg Wang, purple ruffled top from an online boutique

clockwise from left: dark flowery top/dress, bear bear printed white top, white tee printed with pretty gals and camera (all from my recent Hadyai trip, with great bargain :P)

gladiator high heels and khakis short pant, both from Sg Wang KL




Well, thats my CNY clothes and shoes! I dint stock up on any new cosmetics or skin care products thi…

As mentioned, I was away during the weekend to the Southern part of Thailand, Hadyai. It was a short trip, but a fun one!
Before I proceed, let me tell you that I dint snap any food photos this time, because I was eating with in laws, and a group of their friends... so, paiseh lo... :P

left house early morning and we reached the border without much hassle! lunch was chicken rice at the famous Tai Thong kopitiam
after checked in, it was individual activity time! hubby and I walked around the city area, and I dint forget to eat my all time favourite Swensen ice cream!! :))

Time flies and its Friday again, I can smell that the weekend is here already! *wink*

I'll be heading North for a short vacation this weekend, to do a final round of CNY shopping ;)
Til then, have fun and see you on Monday~

Black Dog Society (BDS) organized a charity event over the weekend, we visited the Taiping old folks home and orphanage. we collected money from friends around and some of the members bought all the necessities in advance.

It was early morning when we gathered.....


there're food, adult pampers and other daily necessities... we also collected some old clothes for the elderly and kids

before we proceeded, its a procedure to register 1st, we need to write down our names and things we brought

we dint manage to visit the elderly individually, because we dint know that we'd need an authorisation letter.... So, we passed all the things to the officer. now we know what to do the next time we visit them!

a group photo of us
Our next stop is the orphanage, which is situated just beside the old folks home.

for the orphanage, we bought more candies and snacks ;)

same thing, we need to register 1st...

another group photo of us

Another local movie after Woohoo, another Malaysia Boleh movie, LOL :D

I've been waiting to watch this movie, as I heard alot of positive reviews about it, about how touching and funny it is... It was last night when I watched it in the cinema and to my surprise, the cinema was almost full house! I dint expect the crowd as it was a weekday night and I thought not many people would watch a local chinese movie but I was so wrong, haha :P

Back to the topic, the movie is about showing care and love to our parents, and what parents will do for their children even if they're old. I was laughing in tears in the cinema, and I realised the gal sat beside me did the same thing :'(
There're few parts I found it very touching:

1. Royce shedding in tears in his bike after knowing his father's sickness and bought him health supplements and shoes

2. Joey girl crying while swinging alone, missing her grandpa

3. The con…

I was invited to My Little Closet (MLC) opening last Sunday by the owner, Jas. She used to do online boutique all this while, and has a small showroom in Taiping as well.
Lately, I heard that she resigned from her job and now fully concentrate on her own boutique.

the cosy boutique

l-r: yours truly, Jas the lady boss, Vanus



Luckily I met Vanus there, if not I'll be alone while Jas was busy entertaining her guests... hehe ;) For your information I knew both Jas and Vanus through our yoga courses.

last but not least, a photo of us



Thanks Jas for invitation and wishing her all the best in her career!
MLC boutique is situated at 5, Jalan Lim Tee Hooi, 34000 Taiping (beside OCBC bank) You may visit her online boutique here ^^

This short post is specially dedicated to a blogger friend of mine, Evelyn, owner of this blog.

yours truly ^^


photo of myself with the sweet bride to end the post
I know you'll read this Evelyn, once again congrats to you and hubby~ Thanks for inviting us! 祝你们新婚快乐，白头偕老！

What is the most annoying thing you hate to hear about yourself?

To me, it's 'You've gained weight, are you pregnant??' =_=

I know people around me is concern whether I'm pregnant after being married for almost a year. Thanks for the concern but hey, gaining weight doesnt really mean pregnant and vice versa!
To be honest, I know I've gained weight lately, probably because of less exercise and late dinner. But unless if I ask you 1st, otherwise, I'd appreciate if you dont give me such question.....

(Sorry, I'm that sensitive on weight :P)

1. Weather has become hot these few days, guess its a sign that CNY is coming real soon!

2. Weekend is going to be a meaningful one, as Black Dog Society (BDS) members and myself are visiting Taiping Old Folks Home and Orphanage ;) We have successfully collected few hundreds until today...

3. Whatever you're doing this weekend, do take care and have fun! ^^

1. A sushi meal

2. Knowing my family and friends are in good health, safe and happy

3. Exercising and sweating and losing weight ;)

4. Able to spend quality times with my other half, and precious family (Family always comes 1st in my life)

5. Getting rid of Mr Annoying in my life, forever



What about you? What makes you happy?

First of all, I wanna wish my hubby Happy 2nd Anniversary! Haha, its the 2nd year since our registration ;)
You can view my blog about it here.


Anyway, CNY is approaching and as usual, many people will do their cny shopping, and do some changes from head to toe. I myself went for a hair cut last week, and also dye my hair in copper red ;)

the color is not obvious though, in the photo
and just abit of layer at the bottom
I consider this as my new year hair already, LOL. I always wanted to try for a shorter length but have no guts :P Anyway, I still prefer long hair than short ones ^^ What about you? Have you had your new year hairstyle?

Happy 3rd birthday to this blog! ;)
Cant believe its been 3 years since I rant everything here, LOL :D

Back to the topic, this is the 1st movie I watched in the cinema this year.

image from here
Starring: Nicholas Cage, Ron Perlman, Claire FoySynopsis:

14th century knight, Behmen (Nicholas Cage) is commanded to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where the monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the black plague which has killed lots of poeple. They start the adventurous mission together with another knight, a priest, an itinerant swindler and an ambitious youth. The journey turns even harder when they learn that the accused witch is not just an odinary witch.....

As a big fan of Nicholas Cage, I dont want to miss a chance to watch this movie. It turns out that, the movie isnt as good as what I've expected, the talking part is somewhat boring... But overall, I'd give a rating of 3/5 ;)more infor here

Few days ago I read an article shared by a friend in FB, it's found that there're 30 over worms grow in a girl's eyes who wear contact lens for a prolong period! :0

I'm a contact lens user for about 9 years, and 2-3 years ago I started to invest in colored lens. For all this while, I'm aware of the pros and cons of contacts, 2 main things I practice the most is to clean the lens properly and never wear contacts to sleep. As contact lens is getting more and more common, I'd like to share some infor with you...

*details taken from CIBA vision*

Contact lenses are subject to a build-up of micro-organisms and deposits. If not removed, these deposits and absorbed materials can build up on the lens surface which over time may result in the reduction of comfort and vision as well as an increased risk of contamination.

Tap water contains chlorine, minerals and metal particles, which can damage both the lenses and the eye. So they should not be used for rinsing or storing le…

Am kinda lazy to do a proper update.. works have been busy!

Anyway, CNY is approaching I bet some of you have started shopping/change new hairstyle! I did a new copper red hair color yesterday and pretty satisfied with it! *wink*

Hope you're having a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!! Will try my best to update properly~

The gang aka BDS (Black Dog Society) planned a trip to KL on new year eve about 2 weeks earlier. But the plan was cancelled after I was told to report to work on new year weekend :(

So 13 of us headed to KL on new year eve itself...
