Ho ho ho.

Merry Christmas, lovelies!

First time celebrating Christmas in Kota Kinabalu,
not exactly celebrating, I am not a Christian anyway,
just an excuse to party. :P
But to my HUGE disappointment,
this Land Below The Wind is like a dead town on Christmas eve.
People say KK is the KL for East Msia, but,
the traffic wasn't even jammed last night,
and the places where the locals said would be happening had only a few lonely souls roaming around.
Seriously I was like shouting WHERE ARE THE PARTY PEOPLE in the car.
Haha. I expected more than this okay.
This was my worst Christmas eve ever so far.
I even spent time to make up and all.
Although it was not a dramatic one, but hey, I don't apply makeup in KK.
It was the 2nd time. The 1st time was for the course night.

Look I even did something to my hair.
WTF man.

So eventually we went to a place called Waterfront.
There is a row of bars and pubs and restaurants just beside the sea,
like a zhapalang Clarke Quay with many under-dressed and peh people.
Zzzzzzzz.

There we only ordered a bucket with 4 small Heineken in it.

My friends didn't even drink much, man,

only me and my driver sapu the beers.

Super uncool.

Kenny called last night after I reached home

and told me how happening Ipoh was.

Seriously even a western restaurant in Ipoh was merrier than Waterfront.

Tsk tsk tsk.

This may be the last Christmas I am having but I am wasting it in this boring place.

Now how am I gonna celebrate new year?????

:(

Ohai.

HIIIIIIIIIIIII BLOG you are so dusty now.
Oh see, cobwebs! LOL.
It has been so looooooooong since the last update.
I know I said this in every recent posts.
Sorry about that.
This semester is so far the craziest semester ever.
I do not have time to even shit. Let alone blog.

Decided to blog today
because 3 important homework were already submitted.
The next due date is tomorrow but who cares,
let's relax for a bit first.
I've been sleeping at 4.30 a.m. for 3 consecutive nights.
As expected, severe panda eyes and breakouts are what I got now.
Hopefully the marks of my homework can be as much as the number of breakouts on my face now.
Then I'd be very thankful liao.
The good news is that the weekend is finally coming
so I finally have time to rest!
Seriously man, 4 to 5 hours of sleep a day is NOT FUN.
I feel drowsy all the time and my head is so heavy.
My eyes also dry out faster than usual.
Skin is getting drier too.

Talking about skin, my main problem now is not oily T-zone anymore.
The stress in this semester gives me pimples, not a few of them,
both of my cheeks, below my lips, and my foreheads now all have breakouts on them.
My moisturizer is finishing,
I thought maybe it is because my face is already immune to the formula hence the pimples,
so I decided to change the brand of moisturizer,
so I went to Skinfood yesterday (ya I am very predictable right? Haha)
and got the tea tree range - toner, essence, and emulsion
and got lots of free shits that made me so happy throughout the day.
The free shits that I got include BB cream, wash-off mask, some essence, cleanser,
and a Skinfood 2012 calender that is so pretty and vintageeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
HOI SUM SEI NGO.

Ok enough of crapping.
Have to get back to work.
Miss you, all my lovelies.
Can't wait to go back for CNY! :*

Fatigue.

Soooooooooooooooooooo tired.

Such a stressful semester.

Cries*

Oh hi.

I'm here to crap again.
Yay.

So, the 1-week holiday had ended
and I am back to hectic life.
Well, not really hectic, because I slack like usual.
Hahaha. #likeaboss

Anyway, didn't do much during the mid-sembreak.
All I did were sleeping and eating then sleeping again.
Didn't even go for swimming.
Oh, my perfect abs will have to wait.
Flabby abs love me too much to leave.

Went to Kudat with the course mates as I mentioned.
FYI Kudat is the tip of Borneo.
Sabah's map is like the head of a dog, remember your Standard 3 Geography?
Kudat is right at the tip of the dog's left ear.
That place has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Let the pictures do the talking.
My fingers are lazy.

Look, I am always the one who overdresses.

Why la my course mates all don't like to dress up.

We went there on a cloudy day.

It even drizzled a few times throughout the day.

Lucky us.

Usually people get tanned after they are back from Kudat

but we were as fair as ever on our way back. Haha.

The place is famous with the strong wind.

The wind was CRAZY I tell you. 

Look at the grass.

And the waves were awesome.

Look how windy the place was!

My shirt was tugged into my pants

but the wind blew them out -_________-

Then I got so tired tugging it in so I just left them flying.

Friend trying to capture some artsy photo

but obviously failed.

I look so freaking fat and.... bald. WTF.

Group picture.

WHY EVERYONE SO PEH!!

Then we went to a nearby beach

and enjoyed washing by the waves.

After that we went for seafood, bought honey, 

then headed back to KK.

It was a small town, Kudat, there's not much places to visit

but it definitely worth the 3-hour bumpy car ride.

I didn't take many photos though,

Cynthia kept snapping so I guessed I would just chill and enjoy the trip.

Those with wording at the bottom are my pics;

others are from Cyn's camera.

Should have taken more pics

because ended up I realized my camera can take better pictures!

Ooooooh before I end this post,

I wanna say,

today is one of my luckiest days FOR SURE.

Went to try out the new flavour since the sis kept telling me how nice it is.

Not bad not bad.

Mocha with a twist of cranberry.

Love the cranberry syrup and sprinkles on the cream.

Yummy yummy.

Kindly ignore the eyebag please.

Been sleeping really late recently.

Realized that I still love me-time

than with company for coffee.

I will forever be a loner OMG.

Then I got myself a Starbucks card!

Not the ugly green one but the Xmas special card.

Luckily I asked for other options.

The original card is really ugly

it is the ugliest membership card I've seen.

No exaggeration here seriously.

AND THEN,

I went shopping for shoes because my pair of flats is spoilt.

Went to Cotton On and I was so surprised to see the chaotic shoes compartment.

THEY WERE HAVING A SALE FOR SHOES

and guess what!

DIRT CHEAP, FASTER GRAB

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

That's the voice in my head.

Hahahaha.

So I got two pairs of flats,

for RM20!!!!

OH MY GOSHHHHHHH

the cheapest flats I've ever bought!

I really like this pair.

The colour is something between gold and silver

and it reminds me of the pretty ballerina flats

so I hentam. Haha.

Some people might not like it and I might be judged

but I don't freaking care.

It is only RM10 babehh! Of course buy first!

And also this one:

which is those that I usually get.

Safe pattern safe colour.

THEN THEN THEN
I was the last one who got the offer!
The boss wanted to close the offer just before I wanted to pay
but maybe I looked innocent and tired
so he let me go and have the offer HAHAHA.
The girl behind me had to buy hers with the original price.
YOU SAY AM I LUCKY OR WHAT.
This kind of thing doesn't always happen you know.
Luckily I paid at the right time
and the boss was in a good mood!

Today totally worth a toast lo.

Review post.

Hey guys.
Nowadays my update rate is like.. -1?
I feel so odd typing in this little white box now
and that expressing my feelings in words is somehow a little difficult for me
because I haven't been reading for SO LONG.
My vocab is so poor now I can only use simple English.
THIS IS NO GOOD.

So, my 1-week holiday has officially started.
Having so many plans that I think a week isn't quite enough for me.
Planning to brush up my vocab, of course,
I don't allow myself to be poor in English (yes I am a weirdo as that),
road trip to Kudat with my lovely Indians,
yummy food hunts,
and complete all my pending work including my 3 chapters of FYP.

I am supposed to work now
but oh wells, it can wait. ;)
Am gonna write about something I love here tonight.
Reviews, babe!
Things I am currently using.

The Body Shop's Pomegranate & Raspberry Spritz.

It made me so happy for a few days because it was such a great deal.

It is actually a home fragrance,

you can spray this in the room and on linens and stuff,

but it smells SOOOOO heavenly good

I think spraying on linens is a waste

so I spray on myself. Hahahaha.

The scent is very very fruity and very sweet.

LOVE IT TO THE MAXIMA.

The con is it doesn't last long.

After half an hour the scent will be gone

so I have to keep it in my bag and make trips to the washroom and spray.

Very inconvenient.

Maybe I shall go back to the shop and find some pomegranate eau de toilette.

The roommate got one too.

Hers is aloe & soft linens.

Also smells very very good. ♥

Skinfood Kiwi Yogurt Wash-Off Mask.

The main function is to minimize pores and control oil.

I found it working really well on controlling oil

but minimizing pores, nah, long way to go.

This must be used for a while to see the results

because it is for sensitive skin so it is quite mild.

It has green beads in it which do not have any function at all.

Anyway it smells really good and fresh.

After using it I feel very relaxed and clean.

Not bad for a wash-off mask. ♥

St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

Got it because I need a facial scrub but I was on a tight budget,

it was on the promotion rack and it was dirt cheap for such a big portion.

It is said to be able to remove blackheads and prevent blemishes.

HMMMMMMM.

I think it does quite a great job on both.

My face does have less breakouts now

and my nose is rather clean, I can say.

Another great deal!

Lux White Impress Whitening Body Wash.

Been wanting to get this since the beginning of the year

after Nu Ren Wo Zui Da recommended it.

It has micro beads in it to slightly exfoliate the skin in every wash.

It smells fresh and I like it.

The problem is it feels somehow waxy when I rinse it off.

I prefer smooth rinse so I would probably not getting this again

unless it really does work on whitening the skin.

Just started using this a week ago

so I can barely see any result.

Plus I keep getting myself dark from all the field trips.

FML max.

Sunblock is useless at all in this kind of weather

and under this kind of crazy sunlight and UV radiation.

Super hate man.

Follow-up

The presentation went well
although I talked like a bullet train due to my nervousness.
I was so nervous before the presentation
I kept wanting to use the restroom.
Thank God I didn't get any harsh comments from the lecturers
but a few friendly advises.
Hallelujah. LOL.

Went out really often lately,
and of course the cash flows out from my wallet even more frequently.
Million thanks to the course mates
for always bringing and inviting me for dinners
so I can settle all my cravings especially my bubble tea craving.
Muahaha.
Never stop having bubble tea.
I am so spoilt by them now.
This is NOT good.

Anyway, bought some kind of spray from The Bodyshop today,
100 mL for RM25 only!!
It's The Bodyshop's Member's Day.
What the heck, such a great deal!
And I LOVE THE SCENT TO THE MAX.
Am really really a berry freak.
It actually smells more like passion fruit. :)
Not going to spray on linens and in the room of course.
Must spray on myself so I smell like fruits.
Hahaha.

I like.
