Date weekend

After weeks of not watching movie, me and Mister finally went for one last Saturday, watching Ghost Rider 2. 

Personally I won't really recommend this sequel because to me (personal opinion!) , the whole movie was largely just about CGI, graphic effects and whatnots. The storyline is actually quite good but I got turned off by the overly-done visual effects. Reminded me of my take on one of the Final Destination's movie sequel, ALL ABOUT VISUAL EFFECTS, GRRRR! A letdown indeed. 

Anyways, moving on to food (good stuff!) , earlier before the movie, we had our lunch at Pizza Hut where I had my weeks-long craving of seafood lasagna and Mister had his usual Hawaiian pizza. 

For dinner we went to Delicious as I am still dreaming about its yummy pavlova. At the time I was kind of having a mild headache and didn't want to have a fuss over what to eat so I ordered Delicious's beef burger with Shoestring Fries (so simple that I didn't take any photo of it) and Mister had Hainanese Chicken Chop.

His Hainanese Chicken Chop over mushroom sauce

Verdict - the sauce saved the dish!

THE pavlovaaaaa!

Of course, I wouldn't end the day without scouring for bags OR tops/dresses.

Dress - Cotton On

Bag - Carlo Rino

This look is inspired from Khloe Kardashian's personal style. Love it!

Ehem, eventually I did NOT get anything from any of the shops I entered. 

No mood for shopping perhaps? Ngehhh.

Oh well, there's always another weekend.

:-)

Oh ya, I've got a small project I'm currently working on.

Here's a sneak peek : 

Hope it'll turn out great. 

  

Still the one

I wasn't exactly ecstatic about celebrating Valentine's Day this year and I'm pretty sure it has got something to do with my age. Or maybe due to the fact that I'm getting tired of doing the planning, hoping and dreaming. God knows.

Well, what I didn't expect was this ; 

A stalk of rose on my dressing table!

*blush*

*speechless*

Honestly I wasn't expecting that at all and coming from someone who doesn't give a rat's ass about V-day OR roses, for that matter, this was indeed romantic!


So, thank you Sayang :-* 


I didn't get him anything this year because uh, last year I got him something and apparently he wasn't the type who celebrates, so uh, that was the reason :P


My office coincidently organised a Valentine's Day Cupcake charity drive and I got this from Ummie :D

Yummeh! 

Chocolate on top and egg custard inside

I guess one of the reasons that I wasn't really keen on celebrating this day this year is because I feel that I am being loved everyday by my beau, my friends and family. I'm blessed to have a strong support system who are always readily available whenever I need them and doesn't judge me with what they see. Perhaps this is what they meant when they say love is when you can't sleep because reality  is better than your dreams, because you get to feel the warmth of someone's love and care instead of dreaming and hoping. 

♥ u Mister!

Beautiful words :)

Presenting ME at 4th week :D No, am not pregnant

 Now, for more updates on my usage of PB, let me present to  you my recent self. 

TADAAAA.. ! (I tend to say that a lot :P )

Front view - slimmer silhouette (loving it!) + no tummy!

Side view

:D

Full frontal

I think I lost quite a bit of weight but I'm not the type who notices these kinda things. I should probably get myself  a new weighing scale, 'cos my previous one decided to shut itself down. 


Yes! More burning and losing calories just by wearing PB! I still can't get over the fact that it's easy to wear and comfortable to use all day long :)


Another wise decision! *happy dance*

Dim sum dinner + facial must-haves shopping!

Thanks to Groupon, I recently had the golden opportunity to satisfy my dim sum craving without burning a hole in my purse. I purchased the coupon at RM25 each for a 7-course dim sum meal. I dragged the Mister along as he loves eating (like I am). 


So last Sunday, off we went to Luk Yu Tea House, Starhill. The crowd in Bukit Bintang was as usual, massive. I've booked the place at 5pm, so we went to Pavillion first to kill some time observing rich people go in and out of Gucci and Prada like going in and out 7-Eleven jer. At nearly 5pm, we headed our way to Starhill. 


Luk Yu Tea House was kind of difficult to find because it was located directly below the elevator opposite Tarbush. So we had to look around twice and finally asked the not-so-friendly concierge on the whereabouts of Luk Yu. 


Once we were settled at our table, we were asked to order our drinks as it wasn't part of the buffet. Both our drinks costs us RM30++. Then our food came. 

So classic! *jakun*

Forgot what it is called - made from dates

Friend buttered prawn - SUPERDELICIOUS!

Fried rice with seaweed

Close-up of the fried buttered prawn - DELISH! DELISH!

Siew Mai

Steamed something made out of fish - I'm bad at describing food

Vegetable spring roll

Yam with chicken inside - YUMMMEH!

Goodness everywhere!

I enjoyed my dim sum dinner and the food served was quite filling as well! However I don't think I'll make a 2nd visit here, though. I don't know why, probably because of the ambience? Quite dull, I might say, due to the classic concept I guess. 


After getting my tummy filled, I stopped by Sephora to get my facial must-haves. Stepping into Sephora was like stepping into a ray of light, seriously. I've never tried Sephora before so I decided to give their foundation, make-up remover and toner a try. The price is affordable too. 

Tadaaa!

 

Have been using them for about a week now and I must say the result is pretty impressive. The foundation provides enough coverage and my face feels surprisingly light (as opposed to Clinique's dermawhite foundation that I previously was using). Price is about RM80++. 

The make-up remover and toner was quite good. They actually give the same effect as those from Clinique, clean and thorough, however I don't fancy the smell of these 2. I can't remember the price for the make-up remover. The toner costs around RM30++. Sounds good eh? Well you should have a look in Sephora for yourself.  I'd be lingering there longer if not for my beau who was sadly waiting for me :P (I know he's tired from his face but he didn't say anything xoxo)

Happy girls are the prettiest -Audrey Hepburn

Everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you

My beau has gone off to his home town for Chinese New Year celebration *sobs*


Prior to him leaving, he has taken very good care of me and my household.


He made sure my plants are watered, and nagged me about it.


He made sure I've got enough supply of mineral water to last me a week (he'll be gone for at least a week).


He made sure I've got enough groceries and food for the week (he called just now asking if I bought any bread for me to eat as the grocers will definitely be low on the main food supply).


He reminded me to fill my car gas tank as it was predicted the petrol stations will also be low on fuel due to the festival (I filled up my car tank that very day, good girl right?)


He reminded me to pay off my list of unpaid bills - water, electricity, utility.


He made sure I locked my door and gate every night. 


Sometimes he even cleans my house when I'm not around. 


Now you know why I sobbed right? :')


Oh how I love this guy. He's the best decision I've ever made, and I thank Allah enormously for showing me the right path. He's the sweetest and I love him for being soooo incredibly patient with me (or my moods,rather) even when I marah him once (I quickly said sorry then and cried a bit .. erk! Was feeling so guilty mah).  I just hope he'll be blessed with good things and good, good loving now onwards. I'll make sure he'll be happy with me at the end of the day.


Gosh, it's not even 1 hour yet and I'm already missing him.


I bet when he reads this post he'll be mocking me like mad but I just don't care.
