<u style="font-weight: bold;">HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, BUTTERFLY PROJECT!</u><br />
<br />
My first and maybe last butterfly gathering! Since I was always in Sitiawan and am only here in KL this year for my chambering, I decided to seize the opportunity to join The Butterfly Project's 6th Birthday! It was held on 27th April 2019 at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vilejdamansara/?ref=py_c" target="_blank">Vilej Damansara</a>.<br />
<br />
Credits for all the dreamy, beautiful photos here to the Butterfly Crew!<br />

Everyone got a complimentary T-Sticks teabox from our lovely sponsor, <a href="https://thesticks.my/" target="_blank">The Sticks – Get Lost, Naturally</a> The special thing about this product is that you can now drink tea in an innovative, non-messy way - the tea is contained in the stick which has little pores that allow the goodness to pass through, so just immerse it in water and you're good to go!<br />

How it fits on my face.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The masks were surprisingly not strong-scented (good for people who don’t like artificial scents in their masks) and quite hydrating. The size is a good fit for my face. There is some texture to the masks due to the patterned surface. These masks are good for a quick hydration boost to the skin. After using, there will be a sheen of moisture on your face. The residue dries up to be a little sticky on my skin but nothing unmanageable. You may choose to wash it off, or just continue with your post-mask skincare routine i.e. serum, essence and moisturizer/night mask.</div>

The Chinese don't like to talk about death. However, death is an inevitable part of life, and sometimes it may be the result of an accident. Thus, it is useful to know if your family can receive support should something bad happen to you, and how much your life is worth.</div>
<br />
<b>What is a fatal claim?</b><br />
The name itself is explanatory. Someone (defendant) must have negligently caused the victim's death. Note that an action in tort must be commenced within 6 years of the date the cause of action (harm) arose. There are several categories under fatal claims.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Bereavement (Deprivation)</b><br />
<br />
<b>What? </b><br />
s7(3A) Civil Law Act - Bereavement award is a one-off payment of RM10,000 by the defendant to the family of a victim whose death was caused by negligence.<br />
<br />
<b>Who can claim?</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Spouse of deceased person</li>
<li>Parent(s) of minor child who is single</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY">The category of persons who can claim are very limited. There is no provision for a situation where a parent dies and the child survives. An estate administrator cannot claim for the benefit of the victim's estate. Note that e</span><span lang="EN-MY">ven if the deceased is a minor, it must be specifically proven that he is not married, otherwise there will be no bereavement award (</span><i>Hooi Seong v Ooi Pay Yeong</i> [1995] 4 MLJ 670)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What if the deceased is more than 18 (considered adult) but still a student and single? Well, too bad. The parents won't be able to claim for bereavement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what if the deceased has more than one wife (Muslims)? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Hazimah Bt Muda & Anor v Ab. Rahim Bin Ab. Rahman & Anor</i> [2000] MLJU 763 held that RM10,000 bereavement award was to be shared equitably between two wives recognized under customary law.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY">Mr Foo mentioned that earlier on there was a bill (subsequently retracted) that proposed to increase this amount to RM50,000 and to allow a child to claim for death of parents and vice versa. However, even if it is increased to RM50,000, is it fair to have it divided between multiple wives and children?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Who is a child? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
s7(11) CLA says a “child” includes son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, stepson
and stepdaughter. But don't forget the rule on who can claim above.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-MY">2. LOSS OF SUPPORT<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-MY"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY">Dependency is not found in CLA, but the phrase "dependency claim" is frequently utilized to describe loss of support under s7(3) CLA. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Who is a dependent?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since this is a "dependency" claim, the claimant must prove the financial loss that he suffers as a dependent under s7(2). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY">s7(2) Every such action shall be for the benefit of the <u><i>wife,
husband, parent, and child</i></u>, if any, of the person whose death has
been so caused and shall be brought by and in the name of the
executor of the person deceased.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Siblings cannot claim. Also, if a child is taken care of by his relative, and the latter passed away, the child cannot claim.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Additionally, he must be a direct beneficiary of the financial support (<i>Chan Chin Ming & Anor v Lim Yok Eng</i> [1994] 3 MLJ 233)<i>. </i>Nonetheless, if the claimant can show special circumstances that display the likelihood of of dependence, he will have a stronger case (<i>Muhamad bin Hashim v Teow Teik Chai & Anor </i>[1996] 4 MLJ 7, which held that money given by the deceased to the appellant for family expenses implies that the appellant as a member of that family has derived some direct benefit.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Time Limit</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The current formula is as follows:</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Below 30 years old, multiplier is 16. </li>
<li>If 31-54 years old, 55 minus age of death, then divide by 2.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Say I earn RM1,000 nett per month (after deducting approx 20% for income tax), and I give my mom RM500 per month.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Scenario A: I die at 24! Multiplier is 16, therefore 500*12*16=RM96,000.</div>
<br />
Scenario B: I die at 32! Multiplier is (55-32)/2=11.5, therefore 500*12*11.5=RM69,000.<br />
<br />
However, the sums in real-life might be lesser than what is calculated above as it has often been argued by insurance company lawyers that the award should be read based on the annuity table. Even though many cases held that a straight multiplier should be used, in <i>Takong Tabari v Government of Sarawak and others</i> (1996) 5 MLJ 435, RM270,000 damages was reduced by 1/3 for contingencies, and unfortunately leave to appeal was refused as it was not on a point of law.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-MY">FUNERAL EXPENSES<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY">Reasonable
amount, normally around a few thousand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-MY">INTERESTS<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-MY">Interest is
awarded from the date of filing of writ until date of judgment, now it's 5% p.a. Special interest (as in pre-trial award) is 4% p.a. from date of accident to trial. No interest for anything
for the future.</span></div>
<br />
As a conclusion, there are many inadequacies in the current law. Hopefully changes can be made to the CLA so that family members and/or close kins can be properly and adequately supported following the loss of a loved one.<br />

The information in this post mostly came from <a href="http://rajadarrylloh.com.my/our-people/christopher-k-f-foo/" target="_blank"><b>Mr Christopher Foo</b></a>'s session on accident claims but should there be any mistake(s) or error(s) in interpretation, they are solely my own. Please let me know if there are any mistakes so I can correct them. I also referred to certain online publications [<b><a href="http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=72&Itemid=332" target="_blank">Difficulties Suffered by Accident Victims by Etican Ramasamy</a> | </b><a href="http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/members_opinions_and_comments/dying_need_to_review_bereavement.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Dying Need to Review Bereavement by Malaysian Bar</a>] and cases on Malayan Law Journal.<br />

Yesterday, I was at St Francis casting my vote. The queue at Saluran 7 was so long it took a good 2 hours before it was my turn. The sun was scorching hot. I was lucky I had Mr Aik to buy me iced barley drink from somewhere outside. Even so, people were determined to make their voices heard.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a good thing that many first-time voters turned out - it shows that we care. My mom actually opposed the idea of me coming back to vote because according to her, our constituency is PH sure-win area. But who cares what mom says?</div>

But fortunately we have faithful PACA peeps to lookout for possible dishonest activities.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then comes the polling. It was a close battle between PH and BN, with BN leading at first, then PH, then same number between both parties. It was scary but exciting. But later on, it was clear that PH is going for the win. In my mind, I was thinking, is this possible? Is this for real? BN tried to delay the official announcement, and we heard news of recounting of votes, emergence of fake ballots and SPR refusing to sign the Borang 14. Finally, at close to 4am in the morning, the (suppressed) results were finally out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PH and component parties PKR, DAP, Bersatu and Amanah won a clear majority of 113 seats out of 222 seats. Despite the gerrymandering, inconsiderate voting day (on a Wednesday 9th May 2018) and long queues, the Malaysians managed to make their voices heard. Tun M, aged 93, is officially back as the new PM.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This special moment shall be recorded in Malaysian history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, Tun M is supposed to be sworn in as PM but there is a delay. Now Jibby is throwing the task to YDPA to make things hard for Tun M and PH. Perhaps something is brewing below the surface, we don't know yet. But don't play play Jibby. When you lose, admit defeat with honour.</div>

Althea’s Bare Essentials rides on today’s current minimalism movement, by focusing on skincare fundamentals and drops all the non-essentials. These thoughtfully crafted products give the benefits
of the infamous 10-step Korean skincare routine, rolled into 3 quick and easy steps: cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Other steps are just additional.</div>

These new beauty hybrid products pack a double punch too. They’re products that nourish the skin while
leaving it looking bright, glowing, and beautiful. With clean, minimal, yet effective formulas, these
straightforward products epitomize simple perfection and deliver maximum results with minimum effort. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

This is how the Contour Cleanser looks like on my face. It has a fresh and soft chemical scent, which reminds me slightly of The Face Shop's Herb 365, only much gentler to my skin. The Contour Cleanser contains ice plant and lemon verbena leaf. The texture is a bit sticky and lathers into a bubbly foam. It cleanses well but doesn't dry out my skin. </div>

This is probably my favorite out of this series. I just LOVE the smell of the Primer Water. I don't know how to describe it but it's really nice. The active ingredient is snow lotus dewdrop, and the texture is thicker than normal toner but it doesn't feel sticky.<br />

This ultra-nourishing wonder
cream is also rich in antioxidants derived from Camellia Sinensis (green tea) seed oil, and helps to promote
collagen regeneration using Baobab Tree extracts. Upon application, your skin is left looking great and feeling
bouncy to the touch. </div>

<b>My take on the Fixer Cream:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CzAAcYeYln4/WsJngWa02MI/AAAAAAAAKuw/qlCjTr5jQAImelo3xBCpRLbV8l2bO8QAgCLcBGAs/s1600/fixer%2Bcream.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="474" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CzAAcYeYln4/WsJngWa02MI/AAAAAAAAKuw/qlCjTr5jQAImelo3xBCpRLbV8l2bO8QAgCLcBGAs/s320/fixer%2Bcream.png" width="269" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This smells really woodsy/grassy, probably because it contains Green Tea. It doesn't feel too oily and gives my face a healthy finish. I think I would like it better if it's an oil-free formula. Nonetheless, it does work well in moisturizing my face.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b> ★★★★☆<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "anders" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Quick sharing</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just to share a quick story, yesterday I went to Midvalley right after using these 3 products cos I had a pancake craving. By chance, I walked into a L'Occitane store where the salesgirl told me about their new release Aqua Réotier. She offered to test my skin hydration level (probably cos she wanted to promote their products if my skin was dry) - turns out my hydration level is 47% which is quite high in the normal hydration level range, which I totally didn't expect (since I have dry skin in general). Bare Essentials actually works like a wonder in maintaining skin moisture level even though I did not realize it before.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<br />
I'm really happy that Athea came up with the Bare Essentials line as it's simple, easy and effective. I only wish they had also included an eye gel in the series so that it really takes care of my whole face. I get milia seeds real easily so I'd prefer eye gel or creams with an oil-free formula.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "anders" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">SUPER SAVER</span></span></div>

I was really lucky to get the chance to be a part of the MySuperFemale Workshop organized by Female Magazine on 17 March 2018. They had a limit of 50 pax, so I wasn't entirely sure I was going to get invited. I attended the event with my room mate Pei Chi, and we paid RM20 each for pair sign-ups. I wasn't too sure what to expect since there wasn't too much information on the event page except that there was going to be sharing sessions by <a href="https://www.shizens.com/">Shizens</a>, <a href="http://drforhair.com.my/">DRFORHAIR</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MIXXOMY/">Mixxo</a>. I actually thought it was going to be a women's right/freedom of speech kind of thing, but it was more of a beauty/lifestyle sharing session with some words of wisdom from founder of Shopback Malaysia Ms Sharmeen Looi. The event was held at <a href="http://www.elementkualalumpur.com/">Element KL</a>, Jalan Binjai. Parking for events are RM10 flat rate after validation.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The first session was conducted by Shizens. <a href="http://www.instagram.com/samsonwac">Samson</a> was the speaker/makeup artist of the day. He gave us a talk on Shizens products and how we should apply them (tbh there are so many products I ended up forgetting the steps). But I remember their new launch the <a href="https://www.shizens.com/product/aqua-pore-base/">Aqua Pore Base</a>. See, at least I tried to be attentive! </div>

Secondly we had <a href="http://drforhair.com.my/">DRFORHAIR</a>, a scalp-care brand from Korea. Their products are more towards promoting healthy scalp to help you get healthy and shiny hair. Do you know that even though you wash your hair daily, you'll still have dead skin cells on your scalp? I was seriously grossed out when I saw what was sitting on my head. The spokesperson from DRFORHAIR told me that normal shampoo can't remove them, but they have a special product called the <a href="http://drforhair.com.my/product/drforhair-folligen-scaler/">Scaler</a> that does the job. Sorry I was too attentive listening to the talk to remember snapping some pics for this post. But I'm happy to share that I got lucky and won a hair care set from the lucky draw session, woohoo! Thanks DRFORHAIR! I'm gonna use this and write a review in the future. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the third session, we had <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zzazainalstyling/">Ezza</a> from MIXXO who taught us some casual/semi-formal styling and layering tips. MIXXO is a Korean fashion brand, and they are currently located at Pavillion and Sunway Velocity Mall. Their clothes are quite nice, but I think the concept of layering clothes is not quite doable in the Malaysian hot weather. Nonetheless, they have some pretty trendy outerwear that I'd love to checkout sometime soon.</div>

After lunch, we resumed our session with Super Female <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sharmeenlooi/">Ms Sharmeen Looi</a> from Shopback. Her prep talk was really motivating. She said a lot, but what stuck in my mind was, "don't say 'I should have' because it means you haven't grabbed the chance and you're regretting now."<br />
<br />
I'm a Shopback user too and I really like how it works - you get a bit of your money spent back by clicking into the shopping website via Shopback. The percentage isn't too high but if you always buy stuff online it's going to add up. If you haven't signed up, here is <a href="https://www.shopback.my/referred-signup-bonus?raf=uAto3p">my referral link</a>. You'll get RM5 upon sign up, and another RM5 upon filling in your particulars.</div>

The final session was a floral arrangement class by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garden_of_senses/">Garden of Senses</a>. Sensei is a kind-looking lady with nimble hands and a lovely smile. Most of the participants (me included) were unable to make a nice-looking bouquet and ended up asking for her help. In the afternoon session, miss emcee was trying really hard to elicit a response from the crowd so I tried to be as supportive as possible.</div>

So, that was my take on Female's #MySuperFemale Workshop! Overall, this is a really laid-back event that's focused on learning basic beauty/health/fashion/lifestyle tips (stuff that women are generally into). Female's #MySuperFemale Workshop is proabably going to be an annual event, so stay tuned for it in 2019!</div>

这是我在花园里跑上两圈然后喷上POPSHELL的样子。产品简介是建议把POPSHELL喷在干净的脸颊,但是如果是在运动中仍可以使用,只是大家请记得把汗水抹掉再喷哦。</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
本人用了POPSHELL之后,觉得它是个很不错的产品,主要是因为它具有快速保湿功效,让皮肤在运动流汗而失去水分后很快地得到滋润,同时也有镇静皮肤的功效。</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">与其他保湿商品比起来,POPSHELL 的确有过人之处。</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
第一,喷在脸上非常清爽不粘腻,水分停留在脸上的时间大约是5分钟但是完全不会觉得太黏,反而有凉快的感觉。</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
第二,它非常保湿,能够在我运动流了很多汗之后,有效地帮助我补充肌肤失去的水分。</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
第三,也是最重要的一点:我发现POPSHELL好像也有镇静皮肤的作用。我的皮肤是天生有点敏感的,有时出汗后水手肘内侧会发热、发痒,但当我喷上POPSHELL后,过不久就不热、不痒了。也不知道是不是RonaCare® Ectoin 肌肤防护因子起的作用。</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">基本上喷上是这样的。透明、湿漉漉的,然后带有一种比较干净的香味。等上几分钟它就会被吸收了,干了之后皮肤感觉有说不出的清凉。</td></tr>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
个人觉得 POPSHELL 最大的卖点是它含有独特的 RonaCare® Ectoin 肌肤防护因子。大家知道这个是什么吗?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RonaCare® Ectoin 其实是一个很强的护肤原料,可以扭转外来因素(紫外线、空气污染)以及内在因素(压力)对肌肤造成的伤害。它有保湿作用,同时提升肌肤的免疫系统,已达到预防皱纹的效果。</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RonaCare® Ectoin 是拥有德国Merck专利认证的哦。 听起来就已经超级棒了,对不对?尤其是对我这个二十四岁就出现鱼尾纹的小姐姐来说是绝对有吸引力的。女人最想留住的就是青春,所以我很欣赏 POPSHELL 的产品概念。</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">出门晒了太阳喷上POPSHELL的脸</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">我这一两个星期内都习惯性地把POPSHELL放在手提包里随身带,出门晒太阳了就喷一喷,马上滋润皮肤。POPSHELL还有另一个功效就是喷了可以让你比较好上妆,但是我基本上是很少化妆的,技术也不太好,所以就不在这里示范化妆后的效果了。</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
总结来说,POPSHELL 是一个在马来西亚比较少见的产品,但是真的很好用,所以真心推荐。有兴趣的朋友(尤其是运动狂人)可以到<a href="https://rebrand.ly/%20hawooopopshell">好物</a>去购买。价钱小贵,但是你值得拥有!30厘米瓶装(像我手里拿着的这个容量)是RM57.90,110厘米瓶装的是 RM108.90。平均来说,大瓶的比较划算,建议大家直接买大瓶的。</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trollbeads is a popular jewelry brand run as a family business by the Nielsen/Aagaard family.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story of its establishment dates back to 1976, in Copenhagen, Denmark, when Soren Nielsen created the first Trollbead called 'Faces' which was sold at his father's jewelry shop. It was so called due to the 6 different faces showed as you turn the bead on the bracelet. These include happy, sad and angry faces, which are representative of emotions we feel in daily life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Instead of following the fashion trend back then, Nielsen came up with a new idea - to place an opening through the center of the bead - which inspired his sister Lise Aagaard, who then founded Trollbeads and opened her own jewelry store. One day, upon a customer's request, more than one bead was added to her bracelet. This created the </span>"bead on bracelet" concept which <span style="text-align: justify;">has revolutionized the jewelry world and captured the hearts of females worldwide. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today Trollbeads is established in more than 400 cities worldwide.<br />

<b>2. The versatile Trollbeads bracelet</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trollbeads bracelet's special design allows beads from other manufacturers to fit easily, whereas Pandora's bracelet is screwed, preventing other manufacturers' beads from being added to it. Thomas Sabo Karma Beads Bracelet's operates in a similar concept to that of Trollbeads. However, the Karma beads have tiny holes, which are not compatible with any other charm bracelet, not even Trollbeads' versatile chain.</div>

<b>4. Creativity in Charm Designs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trollbeads charms are more creative and playful in the sense that they are inspired by abstract art, stories, legends, myths and folklore, whereas Pandora plays it safe by featuring easily-identified daily objects. Thomas Sabo, like Pandora, does produce some nice charms but it does not take on abstract concepts like Trollbeads.</div>

<b>5. Detailed Silver Charms</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trollbeads' silver beads are more detailed than Pandora's and Thomas Sabo. Trollbeads pieces are also stunning and colourful in their own way, easy to pair with and timelessly elegant. If you know how much work and effort goes into creating a charm, you will learn to appreciate it.</div>

<br />
The Greatest Showman <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> </span>is a wonderful cinematic experience to me. I loved that this musical actually has a morale behind it. It teaches me a few things:<br />
<br />
1. Appreciate our family and friends, and not to put so much emphasis on fame and wealth. <br />
2. Respect and treat others as you want to be treated by others.<br />
3. Happiness can be simple sometimes. It doesn't have to be necessarily materialistic or elaborate.<br />
4. A real upper-class person is one who has a big heart.<br />
5. Putting your dreams into action can make a whole world of difference.<br />
<br />
The wonderful music, memorable songs, and stellar performances are bound to linger in your mind for weeks after watching this movie. Though not necessarily historically accurate, The Greatest Showman is joyous, exuberant and uplifting. I had a fantastic time watching it. <br />
<br />
One thing for sure, the soundtrack will be on repeat for a very long time.<br />
<br />
Thank you <a href="https://blog.nuffnang.com.my/" target="_blank">Nuffnang</a> and Afreeda for the chance to watch this movie!<br />
<br />
<br />
我很喜欢马戏之王这部戏,因为这个故事有moral value。<br />
<br />
1. 我觉得这部戏其实在教我们不要太执着于追求名利,要多关心身边的家人朋友。<br />
2. 这部戏也提醒我们要尊重别人,就算他跟我们不一样——因为每个人都希望被接受、被认同。<br />
3. 幸福有时候很简单,不需要太多物质上的满足,更多是内心的实在、快乐。<br />
4. 一个上流人士不只是身份外表上的体现,只有内在也是善良美好的人才是真正的绅士。<br />
5. 把梦想挂在嘴边不如付诸于行动,实现梦想。<br />
<br />
另外,音乐编曲实在是太棒了,我超爱的。简直余音绕梁!感觉一个月以内会被我无限重播。<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe everyone has heard of An Mu Xi, the popular Ambrosial Greek Yoghurt from China. Many Malaysians order this off Taobao and have them shipped here by sea. Even though I've heard of it for quite some time, today is my first time trying it. The texture is very thick and creamy. It tasted moderately sweet and mildly sour, just nice for me. Unfortunately I don't have a refrigerator here in my college, or else it would taste even better chilled!</div>

相信大家都对安慕希不陌生,这是很多马来西亚人在淘宝买了特地运过来马来西亚卖的希腊酸奶。虽然久仰大名,我今天还是第一次尝试原味安慕希,口感很好,浓浓的、甜中带微酸,可惜我宿舍这里没有冰箱,要不然冷藏的一定更美味。<br />

<img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3FGIsangc2iauB89mttkiBAvIDj_O952Ypk2p5QqABby--L6d" height="640" width="426" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was lucky to win premiere tickets to Disney Coco courtesy of MyFM on 22th November 2017, so I got to watch it one day earlier than everyone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steeped in Mexican culture, Disney Coco is a story which happened on Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from the main character Miguel, who is a budding/talented musician, Disney Coco has many interesting and unique characters, like Miguel's abuelita, who "runs the house like Mama Imelda" strictly without music (Miguel's deceased great-great-grandmother), Mama Coco (Miguel's great grandmother) who probably has dementia, Ernesto de la Cruz (a prominent musician/actor whose fame lasts even after death), and Hector (the forgotten soul in the Land of the Dead).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The vibrant Land of the Dead is a lively place full of colours and music. The skeletons there are unique and each have their own special characteristics. The art and music were simply fantastic, my favourite song being the one Coco's dad sang to her before he left - Recuérdame (Remember Me). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess one thing Miguel realized was that his family was the one who cared about him the most, as they tried their best to save him and return him to the Land of the Living before time runs out. Sometimes we pursue certain things only to find that reality is not what we imagined it to be, but even when we are crushed, our family will still be there to support us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disney Coco pulled at my not-so-Latina heartstrings and made me laugh and cry. Aside from Finding Nemo and Pokemon, no other animation movie has reduced me to a sniffling ball of hold-back tears.<br />
<br />Disney Coco deserves 5 stars for its wonderful storytelling, amazing visual effects and its lovely rendition of music and Mexican traditions.</div>

It seems all the sellers went crazy trying to outdo each other. I bought lots of stuff on 11.11, but surprisingly most are from local websites and only a few are from Taobao (I got the free 1kg shipping voucher, so of course I'd use it. Hehe.)<br />
<br />
Let's see what I got:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="PETRONAS Gift Card (Reloadable)" src="https://my-live-01.slatic.net/p/8/petronas-gift-card-reloadable-1509246415-35981897-80242dd58dbac54d32fadead172a625d-webp-product.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Got a RM100 gift card for RM79.21 (Lazada)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kinda regret not getting more of this, it's so cheap! With petrol price on the rise (like every week), this is a really valuable asset. Even right now you can get it RM95 on <a href="http://www.lazada.com.my/petronas-gift-card-reloadable-79818953.html?spm=a2o4k.search.0.0.78c677c9armgDp&ff=1" target="_blank">Lazada</a>. I told my parents I wanna buy this (for RM85 earlier), my dad initially said he didn't want it cos he's a staunch (and obstinate) supporter of Shell. And I'm like, <i>why you don't want</i>?!! It's saving your money! And Petronas station is like just 3km away from your house dey. So I went ahead and bought 1 RM100 for him and 2 RM50 worth of gift cards. My sister later bought another 2 RM50 gift cards. So we have RM300 worth of petrol credits for less.</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">8kg for RM86.77 (Lazada)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I bought this I was so excited because it's so much cheaper than in stores. But after that (in the morning of 11.11, I saw some random aunty posted that she got it cheaper for RM9.75 per kg on Shopee) and I was mentally roasting myself when I read her post - like emotionally dead for a little while when someone tops your game score.</div>
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">RM57.60 (Lazada)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this point, my soul is a 40-year-old aunty. Please don't laugh at me.</div>
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">5 box/25 pieces = RM46.50 (Lazada)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
OK I was actually contemplating whether or not to buy this one, but the urge was so great. If you've used this before, you'll know it's so so so relaxing to put it on when you're sleeping. It's heaven.<br />

2 pairs of Fipper (RM11.02 each), which is not bad at all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK Ah Lan Gu, you get to pick one ok? Present for you.</div>

There are other stuff I bought, but these are the more notable ones with huge savings. For Single's Day, I spent only <b>RM855.36</b>, of which only <b>RM240.75</b> are spent on stuff which belongs to me. See Agnes, I'm so damn <i>jimat</i>. Don't say I'm shopping queen anymore ok?<br />
<br />
And disappointingly, Taobao hasn't got much great deals cos many sellers hike up their prices and mark it as discount to make it look as if it's on sale. I can get better deals on normal days. Just that the free 1kg shipping is tempting to me, so I bought 15 pairs of socks for my dad.<br />

If you like to buy stuff online, remember to sign up for cashback programs to get some money back. These are two platforms I use:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.shopback.my/referred-signup-bonus?raf=uAto3p" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Shopback</b></span></a>If you use my link to sign up, you'll get RM5 upon signing up, and another RM5 upon making your first purchase of RM25. I'll get RM5 when you make that first purchase.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.milkadeal.com/r/JPLRE4" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Milkadeal</span></b></a>You don't get any perks if you sign up with my link, but I'll get 5% of your purchase.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Generally, Shopback offers better incentive, but Milkadeal has a shorter payment term. The merchants are almost the same.</div>

<br />
Life goes on as usual, with some drama from advo class, hope we get it settled tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Even though my friends are willing to allow me to squat, the room is only so big and can only fit so many people - in the long run it's definitely not a good idea. Right now some of my stuff are still in the car as I don't want to crowd the space here.<br />
<br />
I can finally experience how it's like to be homeless (but actually I'm much better as I have a roof on my head), without a place you can finally come back and rest without thinking what will happen next.<br />
<br />
I've started searching for rooms. KK administration is cold and harsh, they don't give a shit what happens to you. Renting outside is either too expensive, or moderate but comes with an additional cost for parking. I don't know why things are so messed up. Maybe my luck has run out for real.<br />
<br />
My face muscles have been bunched up for so long I can feel how tensed they are. Petrol price is hiking - has already hiked 32 cents per litre so far. So this is how penniless feels like.<br />
<br />
Like you're more worried what will happen the next day and where you're gonna sleep and what you're gonna eat than advo class drama.<br />
<br />
I heard that advo ruins friendships for real. This year is probably gonna be brutal. Like Hunger Games minus the physical massacre.<br />
<br />
I have greater things to worry about though, like where I'm going to stay next.<br />
<br />
God please help me.Aikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120383471104483739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456679041051412948.post-14810408774064421322017-03-10T20:09:00.002+08:002017-03-10T20:15:12.950+08:00How to Sign Up for an Audit Course in UM¡Hola, mis amigos!<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Nowadays UM students are not allowed to take language electives anymore (bad administration decision if you ask me) but you really want to sign up for language course, you can! Please take note it will not be counted towards your CGPA. You'll have to attend classes as usual and you'll receive an R grade in your transcript (meaning audit course). You will be charged RM35 per credit hour. I was informed that sometimes they might accidentally charge you for the exam fees (RM10 per credit hour), so make sure you claim back from Bendahari UM if that happens.</span><br />
<br />
I went through so much obstacles applying for audit language course and I saw others asking the same on UM Confessions Page so here I am to share some tips on how to get your application through quickly, minus all the hassle. TBH I would have probably given up if I have no car to drive around the huge campus cos FBL and SKR kicked me around like a ball that I was so exhausted by the time I got everything done.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Attend the lectures to see if you like the subject and is committed enough to sign up.</li>
<li>Talk to the lecturer, get his/her consent for taking an audit class.</li>
<li>Write a letter through FBL to SKR, get the relevant parties to sign it. For sample, click <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KVAIWLwCdC2PhaSIZ7yC7IeqBydrFlMqRCnoLDCyieI/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a>. (Download and edit it Word yourself, let me know if you have any difficulties downloading it by leaving a comment with your email address)</li>
<li>Hand in your letter to FBL general office and they will make a cover letter on your behalf before forwarding it to SKR. </li>
</ol>
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "brusher" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sephora x Chienchilla</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, Chienchilla teamed up with Sephora to review two <span style="text-align: justify;">products from their </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Estée Lauder </span><span style="text-align: justify;">range available <a href="http://www.sephora.my/brands/estee-lauder?acid=1781&aaid=11328&utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=Aik+Chien__11328&utm_campaign=Evergreen+Feb+2017+-+SG%2FMY__1781" target="_blank">here</a>. Shopping from Sephora has never been easier with the easy site navigation and efficient check-out process. Shipping is free for orders RM80 and above. When you purchase more than RM300 from the site, you'll get a free limited edition Sephora laptop bag. What's better is that all orders come with a free sample. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Today I'll be reviewing the </span><a href="http://www.sephora.my/products/estee-lauder-advanced-night-micro-cleansing-balm?acid=1781&aaid=11328&utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=Aik+Chien__11328&utm_campaign=Evergreen+Feb+2017+-+SG%2FMY__1781" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm</span></a><span style="text-align: justify;"> and the </span><a href="http://www.sephora.my/products/estee-lauder-nutritious-vitality8-radiant-energy-mist?acid=1781&aaid=11328&utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=Aik+Chien__11328&utm_campaign=Evergreen+Feb+2017+-+SG%2FMY__1781" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Nutritious Vitality8 Radiant Energy Mist</span></a><span style="text-align: justify;">, both by Estée Lauder, a prestigious brand in the skincare industry.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<img src="http://s3.lximg.com/images/pictures/45631/zoom_f5adc5ff44943875d10646a09edee88d285572c1_1476679504_22863_EsteeLauder_Web.jpg" height="200" width="200" /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E6nj8oxA5kI/WKWUjEcjUrI/AAAAAAAAGvg/jrlGzu542zAC5DIOa3PgF0iXsO1SVD5qgCLcB/s1600/IMG_20170215_192446.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E6nj8oxA5kI/WKWUjEcjUrI/AAAAAAAAGvg/jrlGzu542zAC5DIOa3PgF0iXsO1SVD5qgCLcB/s200/IMG_20170215_192446.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm also acts as a makeup remover. The texture is akin to a cream, but it subsequently breaks down to oil and removes makeup very easily - literally melting away the grease and debris on your face without much hassle. It is not drying or irritating at all, surprisingly gentle for a cleansing balm that dissolves makeup in a jiffy! The only downside to this product is the price - RM175 for 2.4oz (70ml) which might break some hearts. That aside, it's a wonderful product to have and pamper yourself with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SW1sFpXnVEI/WKWT2m8oZVI/AAAAAAAAGvY/L-RCmDOPYSEkWGpk2mfaVRKGHcrBiiOAgCLcB/s1600/IMG_20170215_173624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SW1sFpXnVEI/WKWT2m8oZVI/AAAAAAAAGvY/L-RCmDOPYSEkWGpk2mfaVRKGHcrBiiOAgCLcB/s320/IMG_20170215_173624.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Nutritious Vitality8 Radiant Energy Mist was more like a fun, refreshing spritz to hydrate your skin whenever needed. I was sold when I read that it contained "potent antioxidant blend of pomegranate extract, mangosteen and super berries". It doesn't have any significant effect upon application except to make your face appear more hydrated, but it does smell good. The fruity smell gives me good mood. Again, it's on the expensive end for facial mists - RM125 for 200ml.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Price wise, Estée Lauder stuff are definitely on the high-end as they are a designer company marketed as such. It's possible to get cheaper substitutes for both products, but a generic drugstore brand certainly will not feel as luxurious and pampering as Estée Lauder, that's for sure. So it depends on your budget and your willingness to indulge yourself in better stuff. </div>

I consider myself quite pretty. Everyone gets so surprised when they hear that I don't have a boyfriend, and even more astounded when they hear that I have absolutely zero romantic experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make things clear, I'm 100% straight. I had a high school crush J but I've never had any direct contact with him except the few times that I sneaked glances at him when he's on stage. He's real charming and a total gentleman, though not very handsome. Christian guy, nice smile. And did I mention he takes real pretty pictures of me? (Part of his photography duty, not cos he likes me lol)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was real nerdy back then, and absolutely ugly. Don't know how I survived those high school years looking so ragged especially with all those hand-me-downs from my 30+ cousins, boys and girls alike. Yes, I wear unisex clothing most of the times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I've become much prettier though not as pretty as movie stars of course. I am still cautious when it comes to relationships. When guys (especially friends) try to flirt with me, I usually reply with a nonchalant confidence that throws them off or send them packing their bags. I give off the "I don't care and I don't give a shit" vibe all the time and that scares people off. If I'm not sure if I liked that person, I'd keep my distance until I get my feelings sorted out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Talking about this, my high school friend K flew back for CNY celebrations earlier this year. He asked me out to celebrate his cousin's birthday (also one of my high school friends) together with A. So there were four people in total, 3 guys and me. At first when he said we'll be going to get some alcohol, I was wary cos (i) I don't drink and (ii) I don't know what's gonna happen <b><u><i>if</i></u></b> I get drunk and (iii) I don't usually go out at night cos my mom's always paranoid that I'll get date-raped or gang-raped or something unless I say that I'm with my BFF Rachel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When K said it's a birthday party I thought it'd be rude to not join (plus considering the fact that he's flying off soon), so I said ok. He asked me whether he should come and pick me up, I said yes (cos my driver's license was expired). I talked to my mom, telling her to postpone the curfew to 12am for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We first went to Secret Recipe to grab some cakes. He asked me which one I liked, and I pointed to almost all except Chocolate Indulgence (had this one for so many times I don't really like it anymore) and Durian Cake (never tried this but it tasted like real durian).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I half-expected he's gonna bring me to a disco (not sure if we had one in Sitiawan). But it turned out to be a pretty normal bar setting. I felt much better then. We chatted a bit and waited for the other 2 to arrive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once they arrived, we ate the cake and ordered drinks. A asked me whether I drink alcohol and I said no. So he got me apple cider. We talked a lot as we haven't met each other for 6 years since graduation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that we switched places to a mamak stall where we continued till 4am in the morning talking about everything under the <strike>sun</strike> moon. Then K sent me back home. My mom and dad were waiting in the living room (wth scared me shitless). They gave me a good scolding following that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
K asked me out again the second day, and I went out. There was another friend present. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Third night he asked me out again but I was so tired that day I said no.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fourth night, I thought since it'll be the last night he's here I might as well treat him to supper or something since he <i>belanja</i> me on the second day. He said they were at home and asked me to go over. The whole fam-bam was there playing mahjong and poker. After that we chit-chatted with K's cousins who had some great "adventures" in US. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then it was almost 1am and I told them I gotta go (I was real sleepy by then) so K sent me out. We talked a bit, he hugged me and said bye. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that, he was back in US and we chatted a bit on Whatsapp and FB messenger. It seemed like he was flirting with me at times but I chose to ignore that. TBH he looks quite good now that he's had his hair cut, and he has a way of making me laugh so that's a plus point too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then at one point of time he asked me if I had any experience making out with guys before and I said no. Then he's went, "would you like to try making out with me to get some experience?" and I didn't know what to reply. So I consulted my love guru JS, who told me that he probably wanted to test me out if I am open enough to be in a non-romantic physical relationship, slowly working his way towards FWB (friends with benefit: friends who have sex with each other without emotional attachment). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that moment I was so disappointed in him but I still wanted to be in good terms with him so I politely declined saying I wasn't feeling comfortable with where this conversation was going, and I'm not interested to be engaged in a FWB relationship. Then he replied that he was just joking and it's normal in America. Later, he apologized and said he didn't mean to be disrespectful towards me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought he was cute before, and he was probably a little interested in me. But I don't simply kiss guys just like that ok. I will only (probably) kiss someone who's in a real romantic relationship with me. As cute as he is, if he's just trying to get me as a spare tire or temporary physical service provider then I'd just politely say f**k off. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I told HY about it, HY was like, "this guy's so stupid, so <i>potong stim</i> (killjoy)." Cos I was admittedly quite interested in him before this incident occurred.<br />
<br />
Maybe K's gonna think I'm a freaking prude but I gotta reiterate this. I am pro-choice. I believe in basic human rights (and needs, lol) and personal liberty/freedom of choice. So I don't care who you are, you can do whatever you want as long as it's not unlawful. I will acknowledge it and still respect you because it's your right guaranteed under the Federal Constitution. Nevertheless, I think if a guy really likes you, he should make a move and ask you for a formal relationship and not just some friend to make out with.</div>

<span style="font-family: "brusher" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Story</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I bought a bottle of this cleanser during Sasa's warehouse clearance sales last year at RM50 for 200ml (originally RM70), which was rather pricey even after discount. The old me just couldn't say no to any kind of promotional temptations, especially ones with pretty packaging and French words on it. I was then halfway through my bliv squeaky clean cleanser which I bought for RM35 during Hermo sale earlier. Then I saw it at the Sasa sales for only RM15 wtf. And bliv glow and glory masks which I bought for RM10 a piece on Hermo were only RM5 a piece. Moral of the story: only buy supplies from Sasa warehouse sales in the future.</div>

<span style="font-family: "brusher" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Review</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The first thing I noticed about this cleanser was how strong the scent was. It's kind of a honey + chemical scent which is super overpowering, as if you sprayed perfume in the same spot twice. The smell lingers on my face after washing for some time. If you don't like strong scents, then this is not for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This cleanser actually doubles as a makeup remover but the cleansing power is not that strong. It does get rid of excess facial oils pretty well but when you have makeup on, it doesn't remove all the makeup. Traces could be spotted on my face, and my waterproof eyeliners were still intact.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
One thing I noted is that if left on for a bit longer before washing off, my skin starts to burn a little. I'm not sure if that's actually caused by the ingredients or the super-powerful fragrance, since it's described as having 93% natural ingredients. Good thing is it doesn't cause any breakouts on me, though it does leave my skin a little dry post-washing.</div>

C'est que dans le monde adulte, tout sont matérialiste. Ils sont souvent aveuglés par des choses qui n'ont pas d'importance. C'est vraiment triste quand ils <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">tuent les rêves et les espoirs des enfants </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">sans même s'en rendre compte. </span>Ce sont quelques choses que j'ai apprises.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. </span>Les adultes aiment poser des questions non pertinentes et <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">agir comme ils connaissent quelqu'un bien basé sur ce qu'ils ont à l'extérieur.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">4.

My birthday is on 23 January 2016. As it is during uni holidays, usually people won't remember it but thanks to the creation of FB, you don't have to remember it to know it. This year 100+ people commented HB on my page. I've seen birthday boys and girls liking and commenting TQ on each post, but I'm a lazy bitch no offense to myself haha... but I still appreciate all your wishes! I got a few PMs and Whatsapp messages from my close friends wishing me HB. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, what is even rarer (if there's such a word) is the old-style way of greeting by sending a card. TBH this is what I prefer, call me an old soul - but I feel that wishes feel more authentic when they are written by hand. That's why I usually draw my friends a birthday card whenever I have the time. Nowadays hand drawn cards are rare with the technological shortcuts that the society adopts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes I draw a few and keep them for emergency use haha. Eh, my drawing damn nice one ok (even though I copy them from Google Images lol).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Drew this for Aylar's birthday. Pretty leh?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Presents are nice too, but sometimes you will feel pressured to return the courtesy - if you forget their birthday you're doomed haha</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's one thing you should know about me. In all honesty, when I give presents, I don't expect the other party to return the favour. I give gifts because I feel like giving. Every now and then I will feel Santa Claus-y and pop you a gift. So it's totally ok if you forget about my birthday because most of the times I don't remember it myself lol.</div>

For online purchases, a minimum spend of RM120 is required to get free shipping.<br />
<br />
I browsed their shop but couldn't find enough stuff to justify a RM120 expenditure, so I went to Paradigm Mall (cheapest parking in all shopping malls nearby) to see what I can buy. At the same time I got a fix of my Juice Works craving.<br />
<br />
After lingering in the shop for around 1.5 hours, I realised that there wasn't much pretty stuff to shop for, but the queue was considerably long (I bet still shorter than hotspots like MidValley and 1Utama). I tried out 10+ pieces, but settled on 2 basics which were both black <strike>like my soul</strike>. <br />
<br />
I used to think Padini is some sort of high-end shit (you know, kampung girl here) until I came to the city. That's when I realised it's not even close to mid-end, and the designs are pretty sucky if you consider everything in the store.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Breakfast is undeniably the most important meal of the day. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body systemic mechanism reflects the tidal energy of the 'biological clock'. Our digestive functions are strongest in the morning and weakest in the evening, hence leading to the popular Chinese saying of "eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a merchant and supper like a pauper". </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mJVnOiEfvJc/V-ESdkqUawI/AAAAAAAADwc/4UMVZg707W0SfHciQ2J3xTiPPyxrgppSwCLcB/s1600/Pancakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mJVnOiEfvJc/V-ESdkqUawI/AAAAAAAADwc/4UMVZg707W0SfHciQ2J3xTiPPyxrgppSwCLcB/s400/Pancakes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite knowing the importance of a proper breakfast, certain people do not practice the habit, citing reasons such as "no time", "don't feel like eating", or even "lazy to prepare breakfast". Some Gen-Y's like to combine breakfast and lunch, taking a branch at around 11am-1pm, solving 2 meals at once. However, this is not a healthy lifestlye in the long run because your biological clock is going to be disrupted, leading to decline in health. Just like why you should sleep before 11pm at night, you should also have breakfast everyday, ideally between 5-7am (or at the very least before 10am).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am very much a breakfast person, for no other reason other than the fact that I'm always hungry in all my <strike>lucid</strike> waking moments. My stomach <u><b><i>growls</i></b></u> when it is not well-fed. Hence, I usually have a proper, fulfilling breakfast everyday. Even if I'm rushing, I will still grab a packet milk to ease my hunger first, before buying a slice of sandwich on the way.</div>

Personally, milk is a daily must for breakfast, and never once have I skipped it in my life except for that one period of time when I was having terrible acne. Usually my morning diet consist of a combination of milk and something else, be it Hup Seng crackers, cereals or bread. Concisely, I cannot live without milk - it is<i><b> <u>that</u> </b></i>important to me. <br />

I still remember the time when I was in primary school ordering bottled milk from a fresh milk company that came to our school to market their products. I asked my mom whether I could get one, and she said no cos it was RM1.50 (more expensive than a bowl of noodles at that time @ RM0.80), but I secretly bought one anyway with my 2-days meal money (and skipped the meals cos I got no money left). </div>

All of us know that milk contains a lot of nutrients that are helpful for growth of strong bones and teeth, enhance muscle performance and protect our nervous system. However, most Malaysians are not getting enough calcium intake from their daily meals. In fact, nearly 50% kids have inadequate calcium intake<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">¹</span>, and <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">the average calcium intake among adults is less than half of the recommended daily requirement</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">². </span></div>

This is where milk comes in to bridge the gap. Food experts recommend 2 daily servings of milk per day. Just by drinking 1 serving of Dutch Lady Pure Farm Milk (200ml) at breakfast, you can effectively pump at least 200mg of calcium, 6.4g of protein and 5.3µg of Vitamin D3 into your body. Incorporating milk into your daily diet (especially during breakfast) will greatly benefit you.</div>

She can just blow the hats off my head (in an explosion of sudden anger).<br />
<br />
Scenario #1:<br />
Mum: Hey it's been weeks since you got the link for matriculation application. Have you done it?<br />
Her: No, the link won't work.<br />
Mum: Have you got the wrong link?<br />
Her: No, the teacher gave it to us.<br />
Me: You've got the wrong link.<br />
Her: No, I tried so many times, it doesn't show any form.<br />
Me: Pass me the link.<br />
Her: *hands phone to me*<br />
Me: *sees phone, sees page, check link, it says http://moe.gov.my*<br />
Me: wtf this is the main page of the MOE! You got the wrong link and you don't even bother to check!<br />
Me: *googles aplikasi matrikulasi and shows her the correct link google showed me*<br />
Me: <strike>Y U SO STUPID?!! U think something is wrong dunno how to ask ah? U got no mouth ah? Everyday online dunno how to Google ah? Wtf u waiting for? For the skies to drop u chunks of gold so u never have to work or study anymore ah? </strike> Why are you so unmotivated? If you suspect something wrong, you should ask your teacher or Google it! *controlling inner Hades*<br />
Her: *silent*<br />
<br />
Scenario #2:<br />
Her: I cannot compete with XXX. I'm so bad at this and that.<br />
Me: Then do something about it.<br />
Her: It's too late... *proceeds to check FB for hours*<br />
Me: Go study la, you said you dunno this and that.<br />
Her: Diamlah<br />
Me: (In my heart WTF x1000)<br />
<br />
Scenario #3*:<br />
Me: Hey check out this scholarship info, I got it from my friend.<br />
Her: Hey can't download cos my phone no memory.<br />
Me: WTF U DUNNO USE COMPUTER TO DOWNLOAD AH!!! (Trust me if I don't say this she will never download it on the excuse that her phone has no memory)<br />
Her: OK, thanks teehee<br />
<br />
*Fictitious scenario, though I did get some scholarship info for her.<br />
<br />
I have some major NO-NOs when it comes to people:<br />
1. People who don't bother to work for what they want.<br />
2. People who don't want to learn despite having the opportunities to.<br />
3. People who just sit there and complain but do nothing to change their situation.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And my sister fulfills all three successfully. That's why she's on my list of hated people to talk to, but I can't help talking to her, because I love her despite everything. That's why I even helped her to ask for overseas scholarship information from my friend (thanks, Mah Song Wei!) and googled scholarships opportunities for her (because I used to be such a stupid kampung girl who never even knew such stuff existed!) but her results weren't very good (you can judge her 'pattern' from the scenarios above) and God I'm praying to you, please change her. </div>
<br />
I am sometimes guilty of 3. but I am in the midst of changing myself for the better.<br />
<br />
Anyways, you can only teach people to be proactive, whether or not they actually become proactive depends on their own will. Do not shout/speak negative words because they do not help at all, and may have an adverse effect on the listener. <br />

<span style="text-align: left;">It happens that today's the last day of the book fair, and coincidentally I'm in KL (yay!!!) so obviously I went. RM5 per book is unbeatable, it's even cheaper than BBW. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I told myself it's ok despite not having all my work done, I'm gonna allow myself some freedom to shop while it's still the beginning of the semester and I can still afford it (time-wise). Procrastination is my forté. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "vollkorn"; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">(๑◕︵◕๑)</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Parking was so hard to find I swear it felt like 15 minutes doing multiple rounds in B1. Finally I prayed to God to give me a good parking slot and proceeded to move to level B2. And <i>ta-dah</i>! My prayer was answered! He gave me a damn good spot - it's just beside the sliding door where the escalators are!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We were there for approx 2</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">½ hours, and we went back with a huge haul. Well not so huge for me, if compared to past years. My buying power has diminished greatly due to multiple splurges in other warehouse sales like Cotton On, Triumph, SaSa, Esprit. I cannot resist (good) things that are on sale. I just have to buy them! So I only allocated RM50 for Popular sale, which got me a pretty decent amount of 10 books.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Initially I had 20 books, but due to budget restriction I <i>kiasu</i>-ly checked reviews for all titles on Goodreads. I only bought those that were rated 3.5 and above because I thought there's a higher chance that I would like them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Among all these authors, I had only read Michelle Moran's books before, and they were pretty awesome (Nefertiti, The Heretic Queen,Cleopatra's Daughter), so I had high faith in Michelle's writing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton was deemed to be the mother of YA novels, so I got a copy too even though the cover is so boring.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Something worth mention was that while I was walking around with my trolley book-hunting, a lady walked up to me and said, "Hi, do you want this RM5 cash voucher? I'm going back now and won't be shopping anymore, so if you want it I can give it to you."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had the privilege to attend the Korean New Waves Concert in KLPAC hosted by the Korean Embassy in Malaysia featuring popular instrumental band wHOOL, singers Chai Khan and Kim Hyun Su. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Talking about this, I must start by apologizing to Youngjun (representative of the Korean Embassy) - I was supposed to go with Alex at 6.30pm, but he <strike>ffk me</strike> wasn't able to join at the last minute. And I underestimated the distance (yes, KL can be harsh during peak hours) - what was supposed to be a 30 minute drive took 1h 30m instead. Halfway there, my phone decided to die, and I had to go to the petrol station to borrow a socket to charge it enough to reopen Waze. What an eventful day! Made me think why had I not bring my powerbank with me to KL. Obviously I was so late that I went in when they were starting. I felt so bad! (。•́︿•̀。)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The overall performance was pretty amazing - the band performed multiple top-grade instrumental ensembles, and the lead singers Chai Khan and Kim Hyun Su had excellent control of the vocals. I must say Chai Khan's voice makes my heart shiver and raises goosebumps on my arms. Her vocals are that powerful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The person who captured my attention the most is undeniably the drummer in wHOOL band. He plays with all his soul that you just can't stop looking at him.</div>

Sadly, we didn't get to take any pictures with the wHOOL band, I think they might have felt neglected when all the fans were crazy about the lead singers but paid less attention to the band members. I really wanted to take pictures with them but couldn't. They went off so quickly. Noah tried to enter the backstage to look for them but was chased out of the room. (๑◕︵◕๑)</div>

Anyways, it's still a happy day because (1) I got to meet Noah! (2) Met 2 new friends (3) All 3 of us got the lead singers' signatures (Noah didn't care about this, he just wants a photo with the pretty lady hahaha)</div>

Once again, thank you to the Korean Embassy in Malaysia for organizing such a memorable night for us! It was certainly fun!</div>
