Guess who I accidentally met?

Went to Pavillion KL for some serious (window) shopping with moi girls, Feeling & Nicole over the weekend.
Then we came across this group where this cute guy were surrounded by a few big burly giants. 
The cute guy looks familiar but my brain was quite disoriented right then by all of the shopping.
The group stopped us, all smiley as one of the big guys approached and mumble something to Nicole while passing a flyer to her.
After the group moved on, I was telling my frens that the cute guy looks soooo darn familiar.. 
and we checked the flyer to see what it's all about...

OMG!! The cute guy that we just saw was Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees (who's abit short in real life, haha) who had practically just stopped and smiled (maybe he did mumbled abit too, I'm not too sure)  at us!!
It's not everyday you can meet a celeb aye? :D 
But gimme Lee Hom anyday, 
I will worship the ground he walks on :D

Is this appetising?

Over the weekend, I cooked abit because I haven't been useful in the kitchen... as usual.
So here! 

Fried Seaweed with Minced Meat

Steamed Pumpkin Cake

Aye, they look pretty ok right? 
You bet they taste ok too?
Wrong, they are AWFUL.

Seaweed's too watery.
I'm greedy (normal human nature?) coz' I wanted more gravy.

Pumpkin cake's too lumpy with lumps of flour.
I didn't really mixed the flour with the pumpkin enough. (hey, my hand almost detach from my body from all of the mixing =_=;)
The mag that shown this recipe lied. 
It says 'easy & fast recipe' but there are so many work!
Clean pumpkin. Cut pumpkin into half. Deseed pumpkin. Slice pumpkin. Cut pumpkin into cubes. Steam pumpkin. Mash pumpkin.
That's only the pumpkin part.
The rest you can use your imagination.

As much as I love cook books ( I love purchasing and reading them),
cooking is such a hassle!!
I want a chef bf!!

Toc Toc Mascara

Toc Toc Swing Touch - Magical Length & Volume Lash (again, the long title...)

Description
Mega volume and extreme length with just a few sweeps, this glossy non-drying formula does not clump, is smudge-free and removes easily with soap and water. This unique packaging has a see through window to reveal how much formula is on your wand.

Price RM 59.90

Advantages
  • The separate formula is in the wand itself, so it doesn't dry out quick
  • Can be quite long lasting, you only need to dispense a little
  • Lengthen and voluminous lashes by approx 5 sweeps - looks natural, not dramatic
  • Doesn't clump
  • Decent brush
  • Easy to remove
  • Waterproof
Disadvantages
  • Not a quick drying formula, as a result, when I blink (after waiting for good 30secs), a mess!
  • At the end of the day (after about 6 hours) I notice some slight smudges
Recommended? Not really, the slow drying part is a big turn off, this mascara has been deserted and replaced by my fav Estee Lauder mascara (love!).

Toc Toc Illuminator/Blusher

Toc Toc Glowing Cheeks Face Illuminator - Rasberry ( I wonder why they doesn't just name it blusher??)

Description
A highlighting all-over face colour that brightens up the skin, giving it a healthy out-of-the-shower glow. Light reflecting pearlescent pigments give bone structure 3D definition and dimension without the greasy shine.

Price RM 36.90

Advantages
  • It really does what it claims! Sheer and buildable, perfect for face highlighting.
  • Gives you that just-been-pinched kinda cheeks.
  • Quite long lasting.
  • A pretty good brush.

Disadvantages
  • Ugly packaging?

Recommended? Totally!

Toc Toc BB Cream

Toc Toc Whitening & Wrinkle Repair Blemish Balm Tinted Cream - High Coverage, SPF 30 *fuh, quite a mouthful*

Description
A skin-caring moisturizer with UVA/UVB protection, this lightweight cream contains arbutin and adenosine to lighten pigmentation, plump up wrinkles and fine lines, calm and soothe redness and inflammation, foster cell repair, and strengthen skin's elasticity and immaturity to environmental aggressors. The nude tint has higher coverage on darker pigments and blemishes and instantly brightens dull complexions with a clear-skin finish.

Price RM 59.90

Advantages
  • At 1st I was worried that I would look ghastly in this because of it's grayish pigment but surprisingly it's pretty natural on skin.
  • Breeze application because of it's gel-like formula.
  • Good oil-control given if you use primer or make up base before the BB cream.
  • Gives a pretty natural look unlike Gowoonsesang that I've tested on which is quite thick and murky.
  • Not sure bout' all the goodness it claims, but so far I have not break out at all while using this.
Disdvantages
  • Quite sheer, you need concealer to cover redness & dark circles.
Recommended? Yeap

Jay Chau - Capricorn 魔杰座 (Mó Jié Zuò)

Jay Chau's 9th album based on his zodiac 'Capricorn' and his current fascination with illusion. He did it again! Brilliant music and lyrics arrangement. Been listening to his album like everyday, so addictive! There's two version of the tracklist, where the fake one features alternate song titles created by sites that hosted the leaked files (do you agree that they are pretty creative?).

Fake tracklist
01. Capricorn / Mo Jie Zuo / 魔杰座
02. Red Daughter / Nu Er Hong / 女兒紅
03. A Place In Oriental / Dong Fong Zhi Dian / 東方之殿
04. Dream Of The Red Mansion / Hong Lou Meng Zhong / 紅樓夢中
05. Lovelorn Frog / Shi Lian De Qing Wa / 失戀的青蛙
06. Lost Mainstream / Shi Luo Fei Zhu Liu / 失落非主流
07. New Love / Cong Xin Ai / 從新愛

09. Da Vinci’s Canvas / Da Fen Qi De Hua Bu / 達芬奇的畫布
10. Clown / Xiao Chou / 小丑
11. Fragrant Rice / Dao Xiang / 稻香


Official tracklist

9.   時光機 Time Machine (Shí Guāng )
10. 喬克叔叔 Uncle Joker (Qiáo Shū Shū)
11. 稻香 Fragrant Rice (Dào Xiāng)

Trust me, this album is so addictive! All are my fav!
Ok, if you are threatening me with a butcher's knife, I would have to pick Lan Ting Xu.
So hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing & if I'm not wrong, 
it opens with erhu (Chinese violin) and a choir of backups in the chorus. All of that really made the song so damn beautiful, although I don't really get the meaning of the song @_@ 
Can I pick 1 more one too?? Shuo hao de xing fu ne reminds me of something that happened recently, if not always! ya, pretty sad right, you people shud care about me more! :D
So yea, tat song has a place in my heart... and brain for now! :)
His metaphoric, imagery, poetic & full of emotions lyric are sometimes kinda hard for a banana like me to comprehend. (I suck =_=; )

龍戰騎士 Dragon Warrior Knightperfect when you're feeling sluggish or when you're up for an intense workout
給我一首歌的時間 Give Me The Time Of A Song - when you feeling melancholy?
蛇舞 Snake Dance - shake that booty!
花海 Ocean Of Flowers Ocean -  sappy ballad
魔術先生 Mr. Magic a song that proves he can produces fun happy songs too
說好的幸福呢 Where is the Promised Happiness another sappy ballad, please don't listen to this when you are feeling emo (you have been warned...) got me teary, damn it
流浪詩人 Wander Poet -  featuring Gary Cao Ge, nice duet
時光機 Time Machine light & relaxing 
喬克叔叔 Uncle Joker i know you will secretly wanna shake your booty to this
稻香 Fragrant Rice - seriously, when I was having that 'wtf am I gonna do with my life, omg I'm so emo ' phrase, this song totally cured me

Ahhh lengthy post...
If you are a cheapo (like me), you can download it here.

Britney Spears is BACCCCKKK!!!
You gotta admire this woman after the whole fiasco (panty flashing, going bald, almost dropped her baby - media acting crazy, disappointing performance in 2007 MTV Video Music Award, divorce, hit & run, losing custody, Adnan Ghalib drama and etc.
She appears to be sobering up now. Hope she gets better and better this time round! You go girl! You still have fans!! (me!)

Her latest single 'Womanizer' from her upcoming album Circus.
Hit or diss??


I just died a little

Why is it so true that nothing good last forever?
If that's so, why does it has to be this soon?
Just when I thought 'screw everything, at least I have this one thing to hold on to'.
Now it's gone too.
How could someone who shares so much with you becomes so cold and distant in matter of seconds?
Yea, nothing we could do about it ain't we.
People change, and that's the scary part.
Let me drown in misery and never wake up.

Beauty Talk OxyMask


Description: The new 'Beauty Talk Oxymask' instantly penetrates deep onto the skin dermis layer to enhance the oxygen level by using the latest liposome bio-technology. This new facial technique enhance the oxygen level while promoting skin renewal by its deep cleansing effect, moisturizing, firming, nourishing, repairing, gently exfoliating, oil balancing elements. "Exercise" your skin with OxyMask to increase the oxygen level and leaving your skin feeling younger, softer and more luscious. Suitable for all skin type.

Price: RM 198 for 50ml

My verdict: Been using this for a week plus and it has absolutely done none of those shit lor! I don't see any difference at all. After rinsing it, skin will be a tad bit firm but the effect wears off pretty soon after! Nothing like what you saw in Lady First (女人我最大 - Nu Ren Wo Zui Da). The girl you saw on the vids, her face is already lopsided if you haven't notice! This is a total impulsive buy ( I didn't do my research T.T) + real nice SA + cute bubbles poppin' + convincing shows like Lady First promoting it! But really, don't waste your money on this. My cheap Himalaya Neem mask can do just the same, if not, more! Haih...*heartache*
Rule of thumb: Invest on stuff that stays on your face longer like night cream, serum or moisturizer.
