What a Part Timer!

I had a bad shopping experience at MAC cosmetics outlet.

Last Wednesday, I had lunch with Sinyi and then we decided to go for movie. Before the movie starts, we have around an hour to go shopping. So I decided to go and collect the MAC pro member card and get an eyeliner since I lost mine.

Entered into MAC and there's this guy who served me, when all the other staffs were busy posing for photography. At first I explored the paint pots, then eyeshadows by myself before asking for his help.

Then I asked if there's any waterproof eyeliners. WATERPROOF. I stressed on this word few times just in case he couldnt hear me.

Firstly he introduced the Kohl eyeliner and tried on my left eyes. Next I asked for Powerpoint eyeliner which I was using previously for my right eyes to make comparison. Lastly I confirmed getting the Kohl liner since he said it was waterproof. 

The next day I tried it on my hand and it smudges badly! I didnt want it anymore and decided to try my luck to ask for an exchange to the powerpoint eyeliner.

I went back  for an exchange and the guy who served me, denied that he told me that eyeliner was waterproof. He told his manager that he ONLY told me the powerpoint eyeliner is waterproof and not the Kohl one. I got so angry! I wished if Sinyi followed me there to witness what he said that day.

I was conned by his innocent face. I dont mind if I dont get the exchange since I admitted I've used once but I seriously dislike the way the stupid guy defended himself. You are cheating!

On the way home, I was so angry complaining to Sinyi and I wanted to report on him via MAC website. But I didnt know what's his name. I took out the receipt to check his name, and stated there "PTimerXX".

What the..!

No wonder he is so damn noob in product knowledge. I seriously think that MAC hired the wrong staff. I believe he could be either a pen seller or perhaps a painter.

Or maybe a corpse make up artist!

Day Out With QianHwei

I hope I'm able to complete this blog entry before 7pm before I leave for meeting.

Qianhwei came down to KL two weeks ago and we had fun for few days especially hunting for food. It is in our blood where food is our first priority, which is why we both has high cholesterol. I'll proof to you later.

Picked her from Jalan Imbi and then we headed to Pavilion for..nothing.

And this guy caught our attention. This proved that the Ogawa massage chair is really comfortable until this guy fell asleep altho it's in the middle concourse.

Had our dinner at Thai Express, and that was the last I stepped into this outlet. Both the food and services were lousy.

Me: I must take lotsa pics today coz I'm wearing such a beautiful maxi dress! I need photos for my blog.. 

I am weird. Sometimes I find it "wasted" when I wear nice clothes and then realized there's no one to meet up or no appointments. Or when I put on fake lashes, I'll feel sleepy and become restless the whole day.

Times Bookstore

We spent our time in the bookstore instead of shopping. We were too broke to shop. Seriously. I didnt really read any books but enjoyed camwhoring in the bookstore. I just discovered that camwhoring in the bookstore is fun and the effects turned out good.

IMG_4739
Aduhh..almost tercepit by the lift!

IMG_4740

Bitches on a Budget - strongly recommended for Qianhwei because she shops like nobody's business. Go read her blog, her assets are all in her closet! Hahahaha!
IMG_4743

Dream Big - this is for me because I-am-a-billionaire-wannabe! That's why I love the song Billionaire from Travie McCoy.
IMG_4748

Bikini Fit for him?! = |  Hehehehhe he was reading another self help book before he got this to camwhore..LOL!
IMG_4752

I thought I could online from the desktop but too bad it was not functioning. Cant even search for books database. To conclude, this desktop is for display only. Including myself standing in front of it.

Dinner time at Daorae Korean BBQ at Hartamas.

Qianhwei was craving for Daorae long long time ago and finally we brought her there this time. I seldom go for Korean food, prefers Japanese food. The last time I had Korean food was during my trip to Korea..LOL got so sick of kim chi everyday.

I love the friendliness of the staffs and owner of this restaurant. Hmm this may be the reason why their business is so good.

We were the last few customers before they closed. We were wondering if there's people who came in and ordered the cheapest item, and keep refilling the side dishes. Just like the RM1 chicken promotion that Dragon-i/Canton-i is having. Whole family came in, ordered RM1 chicken with only rice and plain water..hahahah!

Well the last pic is to *ahem* show off my maxi dress..wuahhahahah!

The healthy side of me

Very seldom you could see me posting anything related to sports or health. 
Because I am totally not in that category of woman..LOL!

But currently I am trying my best to change my eating habits and decided to involve in more sports activities to make myself sweat more. Don't ask me why. I've seen too many cases where lives are taken away just like that, and people going in and out of the hospital due to their health problems. One word for me to describe - scary. 

If some of you followed my twitter, then you'll know that I joined Celebrity Fitness but lately I'm so lazy to go there because it's boring. No friends to go together..hehhe

Lately I'm into swimming and playing badminton. Last week I started swimming and felt damn good after 10 laps. The boyf and I decided that we go for swimming at least once a week and same goes to badminton session. 


But no swimming for me this week because I just permed my hair. I hafta for at least a week before I can dip in the chlorine water.

Badminton will be on every Wednesday with colleagues in his badminton court. Today was my first session joining them and I played to the max. I believe I'm gonna wake up with muscles pain tomorrow. Played doubles with the guys and we won. But in singles with a colleague's wife, I LOST. My stamina is so limited sdn bhd, plus my legs are short..hahahah! Nevermind I will train harder! 


Today I woke up at 7am.

Surprise huh? Went to the hospital coz his dad was allowed to be discharged today after staying for 10 days there due to lungs infections. We waited til 2pm before everything was settled including the medical bills. And to my surprise, the medical bills came to a total amount of RM33k! omg this is a huge amount.

I commented, "It is expensive to be sick!"

"I've just paid down payment for my Mercedes Benz. Now I'm going to collect from the lobby," the boyf joked while driving from the carpark to the hospital lobby to pick his dad. Hahaha!

From here, I learnt that health is extremely important to each and everyone. 

It's useless to have a lot of money when your health level deteriorates. I lost my mum, who suffered from lung cancer, 5 years ago. Now his dad got lung infections. And I've seen too many cases where health problems ruined their lives. 

Both of our dads are of the same age and I can see clearly that my dad is so much healthier and stronger than his dad. One of the reason is my dad exercises very often, controls his eating habit well and free from smoking and drinking. A good example for me to follow and who knows I'll also be that healthy when I reach the age of 50..hehehe!

LOL that would be me at the age of 80! 
I hope you'll be the one who joins me sunbathing by the beautiful beaches.. ;)

Food Marathon In Penang

I just got back from Penang today.

This morning 5am we started driving back. I was so sober at that time because I slept at 2am and it is almost impossible to drag me up at 5am. Actually the boyf wanted to drive back at 12am but I suggested that we should take a nap for few hours since we were out the whole day already.

I had so much fun in Penang.

The main purpose of going back hometown this time was to QingMing for my mum. I went back on Sunday reached home around 11.40am. We had dinner in Tapah rest area and you know what? The chicken rice and the fish balls soup was awesome!


Monday

I woke up around 11 something to find that the boyf and dad has already went out. Wanted to go for my favourite kuey teow soup with my sis, but the boyf accidentally took out the car key with him. So we waited till almost 12pm.

Then we went over to Penang International Airport to pick my sister. She wanted to treat us for pork ribs but Dad was waiting for us to have lunch at home.

Food at home wasn't that nice. We regretted not going for pork ribs..LOL!

Later in the evening we went for assam laksa. I prefer the one opposite Berapit Secondary School or Taman Bukit Laksa. Qianhwei prefers pasar malam laksa and the youngest sis prefers Cendol House laksa. But luckily 3 of us loves the Jawi laksa..hahahah!

Look at Qianhwei's guitar..3 strings only..hahahah!

The noodles used to be clumped in round shape but now it's kinda different already. I still prefer the clumped noodles.


Tuesday

We went to QingMing for my mum. All of us were back for this year's QingMing and I'm sure my mum is happy up there. We had good laughs and I love the way my dad criticized my bro. He is so pro mann. LOL!

The night before we showed Dad my bro's facebook. Dad saw his profile pic where he was in the club drinking and posing with a straw on his mouth.

The next morning, Dad told us that his friend's son was suffering from lung cancer. He continued that his friend's son is only 30 years old, and he used to drink and smoke like nobody's business. And when he drink liquor, he uses straw..hahahhaha my bro pretended to read the newspaper.

Whereas 3 of us knew he was mentioning about my bro..LOL! Bro must be wondering why the story that Dad told us was so similar to his pic in FB.

Had lunch at home and then all of us took a nap. Planned to go over Penang island around 3 something but we all woke up 5pm.

Reached Penang island around 6 something.

Youngest sis brought us to this new seafood place in Tanjung Bungah. Hmm beware of the tempting food below. Heheh!

This is how the place looks like. Taken from the carpark.

After dinner, we checked in to our hotel at Corpthorne Orchid Hotel. Actually Dad booked Berjaya Hotel for us but when we were there, there's none of our record and maybe the Berjaya Vacation Club management didnt confirm his booking or there's mistakes.

Instead of going back home, the boyf suggested that we'll just find a hotel at Tanjung Bungah/Batu Feringghi and stay for a night. We ended up in Corpthone. ;)

We drove out again around 9pm hunting for supper.

Ended up in Hard Rock Hotel. I wanted to go inside coz I've seen from magazines the interior is so damn nice.

We all woke up late. Checked out at 1pm when Dad called us for lunch. He wanted to bring us to Penang Road for food but the shop was closed.

Dad called back and asked us to makan sendiri..hahahha!

Had our lunch at Smoky Jack - introduced by Qianhwei.

IMG_3415IMG_3416IMG_3417IMG_3418IMG_3419IMG_3420IMG_3421

I really had food marathon in Penang. There's too many places that we wanted to go, too bad not enough time and our stomach couldnt stretch anymore.

Enough of food. I need to get back to gym as soon as possible before my waist starts to stretch..heheh!
