4 years anniversary

It IS a relationship anniversary....just with a bunch of people!
Those who were there all when we looked nerdy and fresh-faced out of high school, those who saw all our ups and downs, fought together, played together, and though we might be heading different ways now, we'll all remember each other.

 

Ta-dah! All of us in the picture, hmm i should very well post up one from 4 years ago as well. Went to the liberty of scrolling down ALL my FB photos to look for these! (laptop hanged a few times as well)

Sue's 19th birthday, a century ago already la

Eddie's 19th! yeap we only gather for birthdays

CNY 2010 I think

June's 19th ahahaha

Just different hair and dressing styles...some never seemed to have changed, haha!
So we just had a simple dinner at Tony Roma's then headed off already :)

With PL

However, Fiona and me went to Pearle's to hang out with her (and her attention-loving dogs) but we ended up having Bak Kut Teh and enjoying David's HUGEEE-ASSSSS home cinema. It's that good that I want to watch all my movies there from now on.

All pretty ladies now :DDDDD

Alright, well that's it! I'm still suffering from the late night we had (old already).
CHEERS!

as attention hogging as any human!

Acne.org

THIS BLOG POST IS NOT AN ADVERTORIAL

This is one of the products/ways I've used that worked on my skin.

I was introduced to Acne.org products by my boyfriend's mother, who saw that i was having trouble with my skin (understatement of the century), so when she went to Singapore to visit a relative, she saw that her niece was using it as well and promptly bought a set from her. So that's how i got a set (includes a cleanser, treatment, and moisturizer).

The Cleanser, Treatment and Moisturizer all comes in
this huge size (472ml)

 As a get-to-know-it-better, Acne.org is sort of a website frequented by a community of people who experienced skin problems (acne, duhh) and solved it using products recommended by the guy who introduced it, Dan (still not sure whether it's his real name or pseudonym).

In it, you can find information like "what is acne", "how to treat acne", what kinds of products are safe to use for acne skin, as well as true-life testimonies by people who have cleared up their skin following the advice from this website.

Now, people-one of the most important feature (this is what I think lah) of this website is THE REGIMEN (pause for applause and fanfare). What does it teach? Well, basic information like how to cleanse your face properly using the proper methods (nope, doesn't waste a dime of your money), how long should you wash your face for (the answer: TEN seconds) and the fact that you should barely touch your face (yep, even when washing it).

This is an example of their video showing The Regimen:

Please refer to my previous post, "How I killed my Acne", for the before and after photos (you have been warned). In my opinion, I really think that the Acne.org products majorly helped my skin. 

Pros:
-it WORKS!
-3 simple steps (no need for serum, pre-this and post-that extra products)
-huge size

Cons:
-costly and hard to get in Malaysia
 (Amazon.com is selling it for $38.44, but I have heard that they don't ship it to Malaysia)
-dries out the skin (so make sure you PILE on the moisturizer)

You have to be patient when going through the skin peeling period, and just trust that it IS going to work!

Now, in the event that you can't get the products, there is a list on the website for products that have also helped the community on the webpage to clear their skin.

Mainly look for products with BENZOYL PEROXIDE 2.5 (not 5, not 10, TWO POINT FIVE) as it is not too irritating for the skin. For me I got the Benzac 2.5 from Caring pharmacy (try looking for it at Guardian, Watsons, and Alpha), the places usually have limited stock. It retails for RM 29.90 (60g). Anyone having difficulties, do let me know. I still have one brand new tube :)

look for this!

Next post will be on the topic of skin dermatologists in Malaysia.
Cheers!

UPDATE (10th January, 2017): Orders for acne.org are still going strong :) Two pre-order deadlines each month, with plans to increase if there are further orders. Do email me at ww.missailing@gmail.com or wechat at evelynngui91. Cheers!

How I killed my Acne

Hello, hello!

First of all, gommenasai and jwei sung ham ni da!
Haven't been blogging much these few months, but I DO have a valid reason! Just finished my final semester in University, and with that i mean my Senior Project (or FYP as most of you know it)-it was a hassle trying to finish the report, survey, and presentation all on time, THANK GOD it's finally over now, so I can relax like a boss. What's left now is just an internship in August! *dancing around in joy

Oh well, I digress. So well about what I'm going to blog about today: my skin problems that i have been having for a couple of years, namely my ACNE (uuurgh don't you just hate those four letters). I will be posting a series of blog posts about what WORKS for my skin and what DOESN'T WORK.

What makes me qualified? Well as I deprived myself of so much money and time and I SURVIVED, I guess I am qualified, so just TRUST me laaaa.

Here are a series of photos from December last year until right now in April 2013:
Note that in all my pictures I didn't use any foundation as I was afraid of aggravating my skin.
(prepare to be disgusted, you have been warned)

Last December (2012) at a friend's birthday-notice my skin,
this wasn't considered REALLY BAD then

In December as well later on

Beginning of the year in January! Attended a Nuffnang event,
(i know i can't believe I left the house looking like this too,
I guess I'm just brave lol) look at the condition of my skin!!

Feb 2013: Don't know how i can smile so bright -.-
It got worse around this period, just IMAGINE going through
Chinese New Year with this skin

Feb 2013 as well, right smack during Chinese New Year,
a depressing and devastating period, i think i will blog about it too XD

After switching to American product Acne.org, skin peeling period,
this was taken end of March

The beginning of April! You can see here (if you can, the picture is a bit dark)
that my skin was smooth already, what was left was red marks only

Last Friday! 19th of April, skin improving at leaps and bounds,
Happy sial

SO? What do you think?
Can i just say that I'm so happy right now, hehehe, you don't know how good skin gives you confidence until you actually experience really bad skin. And those who tell me that "Happy skin reflects a Happy you" or whatever like that sort, I can just tell you that's it's a load of BS and insulting for us who had bad skin: are you telling me that I was unhappy all the time so I got bad skin?

OKOK, i knowwww, time to let go and all that. However I have a lot to say about issues like that, so I'll leave it for future posts! hahaha.

CHEERS!

Oh and i did teeth scaling too, can you see a difference?

Snow, snow, snowww!

ADUUUUIIII my readers are dissappearing due to my procrastination and stubbornness not to blog.

well here comes a fun-packed punch of a post! :)

let me ask you: where in Genting do you get to chillll the hell out of your bones, need to stuff your mouth to keep warm, and lastly where you come out of it feeling WARM in Genting??

whaaat?? where??

WELLLLLL Genting's Snow World la of course!

TA-DAHHH newly launched in January 2013, it is looking splendid and spankingly new in all its glory.

awesome ehh?? the little people in pink and red are mostly us the media :))))

ON the 23rd of January, Snow World Genting was officially launched (yala i know la most of you went already before that but obviously you didn't go during the launch kan?? and it was more awesome okayyy, it is! it isssss!) with a big bang and lots of smoke i mean flakes that stuck to your clothes and hair.

For those who are plenty skeptical about the "fake" snow and "fake" temperature, let me assure you that yes although it is fake but the overall atmosphere that was generated felt pretty real. Well, my frozen nose felt pretty real to me!

brrrrr sejuk sangat! COOOOOOLD

Well i was feeling pretty sunburnt due to the pre-CNY (Chinese New Year) weather and the lack of rain and all so i decided to be brave and hiked (joking) up to Genting in just a candy red H & M sweater, shorts and sheer tights. BELIEVE ME i suffered. I think I couldn't feel my legs by the time i left the super-low-temperature Snow World.

all bundled up and ready to go in--Genting
Snow World provides boots, gloves, and jackets

Not too crazy about the size of the gloves though, those with fingers like mine (small just like the rest of my body too -_-) will not fit into 6Y kiddy gloves nor into the M sized gloves (too big!) so your fingers might freeze off unless you bring your own gloves. The ones from Sunway Pyramid skating rink worked fine :)

The whole ceremony took about 20-30 minutes (probably worried that the media would freeze) and we were allow to bring in our cameras only for this time at our own risks--Genting has a strict protocol about cameras in Snow World, please don't try to bring yours in!

Itinerary of the launch:

opening dance!

 it's a little bit far la i know but what to do--i was dwarfed by the high and mighties who were shoving recording devices and all. i bet the dancers were cold, though *snigger

speech by Executive VP YB Dato Kevin Sim

A really nice man who kept to the details and did not drag it out because he understood that we were itching to explore the place really!

"unveiling" of Snow World!

me by it afterwards, it changes colors!

exploring the Warm House, one of the icons there

lastly, a luncheon where we were served plenty of finger food

most of the media retreated to this warm cozy (considered) cove where we were fed and watered! See a bundle of pink at the right hand corner? that was us, hundling over hot tea and some finger food. The boys decided to be reckless and had some ice cream potong: crazy, right?

not about to leave before going up to the highest and coldest floor
and acting cute up there! XD

 After the launch we were entertained by a full-on lunch and playtime at the theme park. For once, Genting felt pretty warm to us already :/

yum yum yum at Coffee Terrace, my absolute fav dining place

ready, set, GO!

we tackled the Superman ride, the kiddy Merry-Go-Round, 4D movie of Little Prince, Bumper Cars, some kiddy Rocket Ride before going for some coffee and hot chocolate at Starbucks--all in all, a very fun day!
