hi I'm back!

hii..I'm back!

Back from belayar ahaha I tried to create scheduled posts for that period but I was too busy before belayar atu and only tebuat one for 16th Feb. 

So here we are..

Ovvy today punya is not scheduled but the following one will be.

brief updates:

1. Today is already the 3rd day of puasa.

2. I'm using a new keyboard woohoo..previously I used the one I bought for office.

3. I finally found where I put my Airpod 4 casings. I was looking for it for at least half a day! 

4. Finally turned on and tried this 'gamers' speaker that I won from finishing 20 hours of online training di opis.

Below are pictures I just took especially for this post:

the speaker. very shiny!

the new keyboard.

a new mouse! pulsar x Demon Slayer. It was on sale and I thought it was a good bargain (alasan saja😂) 
I wanted so much to buy cInosuke punya but his was very bulky in my hand.
In the end, I decided on buying Muichiro's one coz 1. the size feels not bulky in my hand, and 2. the color is the closest to match with the color of my keyboard.

and here are some extras:

my office keyboard. Missing a couple of nobs. Baru jua setaun memakai. the number 2 has always been loose. The Down arrow got loose coz I tend to press that instead of scrolling LOL. and the Letter P patah the connector. Heran ku how but I think it happened that one time i just shoved the keyboard instead my laptop bag coz I was in a hurry wawawa
So, I bought new keycaps. coz ada gamabr dongo and its Mitsuri's color 🤭

tada!! cumil kannn..I just wish there were more greens. Still very cute. 
I love the Onigiri as arrows.

Extra-EXTRA: 

PULSAR x DEMONSLAYER main four characters 💖

I mean, Ani lagi ngam with my new keyboard, kan? but as much as I love Inosuke, that fave kenot fly in my house hold 😖 EVENTHOUGH it will be mostly stayed in my room.

What I can conclude from this post? I'm a very non-tech sevvy person to be having such high tech things 🤣🤣 YES including the mouse. Apparently its a gamer mouse too and I only wanted to have one becoz of Demon Slayer. #consumerism 

Ok, that is it for now. see you on the next post for the continuation of 2025 recaps. bye

my facial regime

Hello friends,
welcome.

This is going to be a long post, so bear with me. (▰˘◡˘▰)


For the past two years, I've been trying to maintain a facial care routine / regime.

From the beginning, I was told to use my products in this order; wash-essence-toner-cream-or-serum. Day routine will end with serum, Night routine will end with cream.

but today, as I "window shop" at Yesstyle.com, I came across this product called Ampoule.

I had to Google that shit coz my brain goes, "what the hell is an ampoule?!"

I clicked on the first link on the first result page and found out (at the bottom of a very long article) 

Ampoule is a super charged serum.

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

macam, why they make me read that long ass article? why they play me?

I also found out that I could've done my routine like this; watery products first, then thickest and richest products last. So, thats like: toner-essence-serum-or-cream.

I. am. confused. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
that sale person wouldn't be giving me a wrong instruction, would she?

I Googled another question; 
which one go first: toner or serum?

Clicked on the first link on the first result page. and it says, it was up to my own judgement.

like, whaaaaa

I once wondered, if I put my essence first after cuci muka and then 5 minutes later applied my toner (using cotton puff), doesn't it seems like I'm wiping my essence off my face kah tu?
I did try changing the routine once; wash-toner-essence-cream, but the sensation I felt on my face at that time was uncomfortable becoz both my essence and cream at that time were thick. My skin is oily to acne prone type. those thick products were not agreeing with me.
So, I went back to the original routine; wash-essence-toner-cream.


but If i were to follow the watery-thickest-richest rule, my current first essence is pretty watery and light although not as watery and light weight as my toner.
should I be using my toner first?
coz in my understanding, and just as the first article mentioned, toner is like a second cleansing after washing. thus, i believe my toner kinda washes off my first essence since i applied that one first before toner.

should I change my routine?

my skin felt rather dry this day.

but only becoz I'm having break out right now (which is normal for me during this time of the month) and I usually avoid putting on products on my face until the scar is gone. I could put on make up but as soon as I get home, I usually clean my face straight away and put on ointment on the trouble area instead.
I know my face. during this hard times, it will protest and bring more breakouts if i put on other facial products.
sigh
I'm old already, shouldn't this type of break out stop already at this point??

. . .

Here's some extra contain!

Products I've used before:

1)

The Face Shop (left to right);

The Therapy First Serum, 

Myeonghan Miindo Heaven Grade Ginseng Whitening Toner, 

The Therapy Anti-Aging Serum.

2)

The Face Shop (left to right);

Yehwadam Revitalizing Serum,

Yehwadam Revitalizing Toner,

Yehwadam Revitalizing Cream.

Currently using this:

(left to right)

Tony Moly - 2X First Light Essence,

Premium Peach Cotton Toner,

Premium Peach Cotton Cream.

this last set of products kinda suits my skin at the moment. they catered my oily skin well. I especially love the peach cream; watery/light but as soon as you rubbed them on your face, it dries quick and not oily or sticky at all. very2 light on the skin. PLUS! smells amazing! LOVE. IT.


Of course, there are other things I used every other time or when I remember to, or when I rajin LOL;

• Face Mask - once a week at least. I am running low on face mask as I'm typing this.
• Yehwadam Snow Lotus Pearl Capsule Cream - this one is a little heavy for my skin, so I kinda scared to use it that often. not even once a week. but it makes my skin glow when I put them on. and I love the smell.
• Yves Rocher Serum for Wrinkles and Firmness - this is a night serum and when I finally bought it early January this year ( i tried the sample before and it works fine with my skin) and used it as my alternative night cream, I got horrible break outs, I freaked out, and stopped using it. but last Sunday, 13th May, I somewhat checking out the serum and again and read the bottle instruction; it says I supposed to use it twice a week. DAMN! no wonder break outs! Sales person, you need to step up your game.

You'd think with all these products my skin will be flawless and glass glow like.

no, honey.

coz believe it or not, what you put IN you body is just as important as what you put ON your skin.

and I put in more grease and salt than I do plain water or any other good nutrition.

Sungkai Outing

so much for my 'at least Two Sungkai Outing this year' post.

LOL

up until Saturday, 25th June, I had 4, FOUR!, Sungkai Outing.

hahahah

the first one was with my beloved sister,

second was with Fiffy Faizah; dalam wayang and continue on di McD

third was with #GengKerasPlusOnePointFive

fourth, and hopefully, the last was with BBB:BBRC

the first two outing was not plan. it was last minute and spontaneous. 
the third was planned way before puasa (planned as in 'mesti sungkai out ni ah time puasa' kinda plan hahaha)

I missed this year sci2 Sungkai Out coz it clashes with GengKeras outing. 
this year sci2 was having Sungkai Out, IN. 
They had them at Edy's house, potluck-ing. Pictures were shared in our group chat but I only asked permission to post this one, coz it's mandatory.

It's not a sci2 gathering without these two posing like this.

I wana feel jelly for not being there but I was having too much laugh with Geng Keras that I don't. Still a little bit 'miss' feelings but
apa bleh buat, this year terClash. insyaAllah, time raya saja jumpa ;)

For some reason, this year I feel so calm. 
I thank my work load for that. 
having to handle so much with very short notice made me set my mind every morning with a chant that goes; 'Be calm. LillahiTa'ala, Just do it' and 
'Too many mind. No mind' this one from The Last Samurai *laugh out loud*
maksudnya, "jan luan dipikirkan, buat saja"

. . .

Selamat Berpuasa

Credit to respective owner.

I know, 5 days too late

BUTT

still puasa month, no?

It's been a hectic June for me that I become increasingly more lazier than usual to post 

or to do anything else for that matter.

LOL

I am looking forward to the Sungkai Outings that I'm gonna miss this year. 

coz I told myself that I'm gonna go to at least TWO sungkai outing this year for some personal reasons.

I hope nobody will take offence or take it too personal if I rejected their invites. 

I hope people realize that it's not them, it's me. FOR REAL.

that been said, I feel like eating lots of fried chicken for sungkai later.

2016 Puasa Countdown

Check out this website for the countdown.

I don't know how accurate but it seems to be legit

I checked this on 17th May, at 12:00am 

are you excited?

. . .

New new NEW

Hello fellow bloggers and readers

Good week so far? Mine was kinda, not, but it's ok.

Today's post will be about ...MY NEW ROOM!!

well, half of it.

EXCITED!

and I think I need to purchase another bookshelf coz the one I have now is almost full.

like, unbelievable. baru jua ku unpack.

AND! I found my old Harry Potter Stationery sets. 

macam, completely forgotten all about these two until I cleaned my flat room. 
hahaha you wouldn't believe my obsession at the time when I bought these. 

anyway, suddenly feeling sentimental. Moving house is hard; both physically and emotionally.

At least I have a reason to buy new furniture. MUAHAHAHA


a/n: Selamat Menyempurnakan Ibadah Puasa to my fellow Muslim friends. may this Ramadhan brings more berakah to us all. Amin.

Final Week of Ramadhan

in the final week of Ramadhan, as always, was a hectic week.

but I managed to squeeze in two more Sungkai Outing with my two groups of friends; 

Geng Keras on 22nd July

and 

Group McD on 25th July

We were missing a few people in both outings. It'd be nice if everyone was there but sometimes some things are just out of your control. So, make use of what you've got tah saja. It was still a happy and fun outings for both. Thanks for the memories lovelies ^_^

Lets make happy memories for Hari Raya too next!

Sungkai Out

Hello~ Hello!

quick share!

Last 17th, I went out Sungkai-ing with office mates

and on the 18th, with bestie, Zawir and fellow blogger, Esma.

 


We had the Sungkai out at Freshco Banquet Hall.

It was worth it! esp when you can go around eating all (I didn't but still feel worth it LOL) the food. I guess the key is to eat everything in small portion. xD I love the Creamy Chicken Spagetthi yg mcm arah Pastamania atu most. and the Sushi too. 
I thought I had pictures of the food taken skali, rupanya, I didn't take. LOL ah well..

Two down, two more to go. #SungkaiOut2014

. . .

It hits. Hard

It suddenly dawn on me that, probably this time next year, I won't be hearing anymore reciting of the Surah during Tarawih time.

It saddened me. 

I've been living right besides a mosque for half of my life (most probably more) and my feel for Ramadhan and Syawal depended so much on hearing reciting of Surah during Tarawih and the Takbir when Syawal comes.

Sigh. 

I guess this is the part where I should follow this quote; Live life today, deals with tomorrow when it comes.

Masa, insyaAllah, masih panjang. I still have like more or less a year to not worry about my feel just yet.
Enjoy the moment. 

Besides, it's not like masjid jauh jua dari rumah baru atu. Well, not as close as the one we have now but yeah..maybe it'd be more festive there who knows.
