raya stretch.

i had such a long day! today was BBQ with the family. tres fun! though was just a satay pit we used, we had so much food, we could feed a village! had a heineken with the boyfriend and my brother in laws, felt like a man! but now i am so sleepy, about to dose off soon. took an annual leave today so i could enjoy a long ass stretch of holidays.

what have you been up to lately? with all the sales going around, can't resist the temptation to grab a few items, all under budget!

awesome buys from jaspal, got a lace corset at 60% off! hubby loves it to the max lol. for the much apparent reason. ballet flats because heels may stress my back a bit over the time.


i've been crazy over accessories! even asked my sister to bag a few from jungceylon when she visited phuket last month (or was it june?).

i love all things feminine, so i got roses, thrifted from lowyat.net, earrings and layered rings from forever 21, bracelets from a stall at jungceylon, pearls from the filipino market in kota kinabalu (when i was there last month), budddderfly ring from olio folio! my favourite has to be the cute ass fat ring from a stall in curve's flea market! ah! how cute.

looks like a multicolored mushroom! i heart my new ring.


other updates on things i've been doing. been having loads of girlie outings. desperately needed times like our girlie outings. bucketful of laughters and loads of girlie talks. me likes! then again, good girlfriends are hard to come by, trust me.


girl's night out at bakita, changkat bukit bintang with vien and some other colleagues and ex colleagues of mine. thought it'd be fun for an all girls' night out!



melina and sophia. didn't get particularly wasted on that night. but since i was driving, i was worried about road blocks, ugh. times like this during this ramadan month!

floral corset from pull & bear and leggings. comfy outfit. :)

mah girls! lol. had a fantastic night out!!

other days out with vien. love this babe of mine. always there any minute any day! desperately had to go to bershka during its opening day.


honestly, i didn't like anything about bershka. their clothes would suit age range of 16 to 20. but not when you are an working adult (ugh i feel old). tad too funky, but still their slim fit pants are quite affordable i must say. one thing i like most is their range of shoes! omg!! gorgeous, but like all gorgeous shoes, it hurts. will get a pair someday, but just not today. lol. from workmanship point of view, just not up to par.

waiting patiently to find something in bershka i would fall head over heels for, then i'd get it! bershka, why you no make something i really really like!



also patiently awaiting for uniqlo's opening in 1utama! :D if you haven't seen 1utama for some time, you should take a look at the newer old wing now. :)


snowflake for supper with my sexy girlfwen.

and last but not least, hubby!!!! :D

hbr1 brought me out for a dinner date at las vacas. recommended for meat lovers and burger lovers like my champion over here. loved the ambience but because we went during the ramadhan month, buka puasa time was packed! vowed i'd try the steak next time around. looks scrumptious! i had the lamb shoulders the first time there, and i have to say i loved it! i couldn't finish it as it was slightly too much for me.

so try las vacas out if you are a meat lover, i am sure you will love every second of it! :D


haven't been updating on my make up / facial regime since God-knows-when. so here's a short update! :D




been on a shu uemura make up routine since January. can't really say i love it nor can i say i hate it. i am a bit torn, can you tell? when i first bought it, it gave me flawless skin and coverage. loved the cleansing oil as well. the face architect (liquid foundation), gives you matte coverage, and it feels as if you have not put any foundation on your face. their make up primer (the UV under base mousse, not sure of its full name) really helped with the oil control.


but down the road, after five months of following this regime, i found rashes at the corner of the eyes. being the corner of the eyes, i was worried and seeked consultation from a medical doctor, wtf. he said it maybe the oil glands changing as we age (sigh, i am aging). i completely stopped using the shu uemura cleansing oil and the rashes has drastically subsided. once in a while, the rashes appear, so i am not sure if it's the cleansing oil, or it's just me. sigh.


been having some problems with my skin lately. i am practically at the lowest self esteem point in my life. i have been having such bad breakouts on my right cheeks. hubby said it is because i have itchy hands. i don't think so! scars are harder to get rid off these days, maybe cause of the age. sigh. i've been trying and slowly mending my skin problem. make up clearly isn't a solution. i've been off the make up for four days now! and my skin is showing some sort of improvement, very very very slowly but i can feel the difference. sigh, i have not used so much acne cream before in my life!!!


changed my biotherm normal to combination range to the skin perfection range. but i think the cetaphil cleanser for acne-prone skin has helped me substantially. let's see two weeks from now if there's any improvement!



lastly, you've got to try this body butter! my sister got this for me from Boot's in phuket but you can get this from any sephora outlet if i am not wrong. smells so damn scrumptious, you'd feel like eating yourself. but it is really really moisturizing for the skin if you tend to sit often in air conditioned places or if you have a habit sleeping in air conditioned rooms. as for me, i like to put it on at night as for me, because the night time is when my skin rehydrates for the very next day!


hope you enjoyed my long ass post. need to pass out now because i'd be having another long day tomorrow. will try to keep updating as i've been losing my blogging touch lately. just cashed out from Nuffnang though! lol. if i don't get the cheque, i'd be so sad!


and if i have any muslim readers out there, selamat hari raya! drive safe, party safe and eat moderately! :D i'd be having my fair share of fun during this raya holidays too. :D
