METROJAYA BRANDED FRAGRANCES AND COSMETICS SALE

2009-02-17T06:31:00.000-08:00

this morning me and miu went to the Metrojaya warehouse sale, we arrived at 9.30 and waited in line, we were among the early birds. however they started the sale at 10.25 instead of 10 am. i kinda worried i m going to be late coz i only took half day and i had other matters to attend to before i go back to the office at 2 pm. I meet another fellow blogger Ayna there...cheerful kindergarten teacher...so cute...so all there of us made several rounds and grab interesting offers. On an average the bottles starts around rm 50 for the branded ones. ( sorry i didn't pay attention to the lesser known brands ,so i m not too sure about the prices ). most of the stocks are manufactured in 2007/2008 below are some of the items i purchased. (note: not all items for me, i help others purchase also)

this body cream has a very nice packaging, deep luxurious purple with glitters

this is blush by Marc Jacobs- it has a 50 ml perfume and lotion . it has a cute box also, looks like a handbag, i also purchased their body wash...OMG it was soo cheap rm 10 for 200ml!!!!

this is also cute, jpg miniatures male and female.

incanto - heaven

kenzo- amour- most recent stock- aug 2008

burberry- the beat- edp rm 110 the latest scent

kennth cole - signature( tq miu for pics )

me after the sale

i managed to grab the last 2 j.lo body wash and that was so cheap also- rm 10 but i gave i away to miu and ayna. Over all it was ok, not too crowded, payment system good, security very strict as we were not allowed to sort out before paying.
since i still have some stuff from the last warehouse sale, i letting go some to crate more space for the new stuff. keep checking my blog for the items , i might be letting go my Dior flight set and Stilla make up pallet.

Le Tour De Langkawi- KL Leg

2009-02-17T00:05:00.000-08:00

Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday was the KL leg of the Le Tour De Langkawi, where cyclist from all over the world race all over Malaysia. I m sure many of you were caught in a bad jam on Friday morning....so was i. i reached my office at 10 am and i was pissed coz i left very early that morning....8 am...ok lah i made A FEW PIT STOPS...ie..petrol station to buy breakfast and fill up my tank and catch a gimps of the news headlines.....( i admit i m a news junkie- on my fave shortcut, i have every major and alternative online news, so i can read both side of the story)

last Sunday i went to jalan tar to purchase fabric for my dad and brothers, so we manged to catch the kl leg of the Le Tour de langkawi. the bikes were passing us so fast and every time the sirens rang we raced out of the shops tp see the cyclists. which was funny coz we were not the only ones. while waiting for the race to start we had snacks at A&W. we walked all the way, up and down jalan TAR. very tired

i was sooooo close to almost hitting this cyclist....

the yellow one is from Malaysia

the sponsors of the race

it was actually calming to see the road so empty...maybe they should closed the street on weekends and open up stalls in the middle of the road.

YEE SANG NEW YEAR POT LUCK LUNCH

2009-02-06T06:47:00.000-08:00

D'interieur saying hello to the new year...

Being Malaysian we are always big on holidays, regardless whether the celebration is meant for us or not. i would call it muhibah. well today we had ( hopefully going to be ) our annual holiday pot luck celebration. so last week i assigned everyone to the dishes that they were supposed to bring....
so the list was....

1. Reen- Yee sang...
2. John- ice cream...
3. me- potato salad...
4. lisa- fried chicken and hot dogs...
5. fikah- mee hun
6. kiren- kistang curry @ devil curry
7. tracy- tid bits and eggs...
8. uncle- muruku and bottled water...

so from the pics below there was quite a lot of food....i kinda went overboard with my potato salad.....i made the salad from a mixture of baby potato ( which is only available in cold storage), grilled eggplant and mushrooms....for flavor i seasoned with salt, pepper, low fat mayo, thyme and rosemary....it was OK by my standard...may be need to experiment more with the recipe. i love the muruku that uncle brought... it was crunchy and fluffy... kiren's mom made devil curry...but it was not so spicy...i like the last time better...so spicy...we toss the yee sang and hoped that it will be a good year for all of us....

all the food...even got to eat mawi ice cream...ha ha ha

luckily this time everything was in right portion as there was not much that i can take back...

stupid food take away policy....

2009-02-04T06:52:00.000-08:00

i have been and still is a fan of ikea, ever since i went to my first ikea in philly, i love the smell of pine wood as i walk in the store. i know that they are not conventional retailer and all their stuff is diy...and i just love their little nick nacks...so some time when i bored i just like to wonder around their show room and imagine it was my home...

an incident happen to me last Monday which tick me off....so on monday after i picked up my sister from work, my mom asked me to buy meatballs for her and ayah, so as a dutiful and obedient daughter i went...any way i was hungry also...so me and sis waited in line pick up daim cake....glass and etc...and proceed to the main dish section, so i decided to eat lemon and herb chicken and sis decided to eat salmon, later i asked them to pack for me 15 meatballs.....then the attendant said this..." kak hari ni tak boleh bungkus sebab public holiday....( sorry no take away because today is a public holiday) then i argued with him....today i a public holiday for kl, putrajaya and labuan.....your shop is in selangor, different state......then he still insisted that the cant pack our take away...then i called my mom in front of him, i said... ma .. org kat sini tak bagi pack....kedekeut bungkus...then the boy said kak don't say like that....( tahu pulak malu)

so he suggested i buy a plastic container from the market place and bring BACK to the cafeteria and i did just that . the only reason i followed his advice because my mom wanted her meatballs ....if not i would not bothered......

this evening i sent a complaint letter to their coustomer service....so we wait and see what they say....

so moral of the story...."REMEMBER.....NO TAKE OUTS ON WEEKENDS AND ANY PUBLIC HOLIDAY......INCLUDING OTHER STATE HOLIDAY !!!!!!!!! IF YOU INSIST...PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PLASTIC CONTAINER....."

WHERE IS TUBBIES ?????

2009-01-31T07:16:00.000-08:00

when i was little, there was a book tittle 'Where's waldo'....so you are supposed to find him on the page....its not easy .. actually you will spend hours searching for him as the pictures are very tiny.....so you might be asking where is tubbies?????
i know i have not been updating the blog for the past two weeks as i have been taking a good needed rest to recuperate from the flu...So during Chinese new year i just stayed home....and watch TV plus experimenting with the new microwave oven that my mom recently purchased. Hope its not too late to wish all my friends 'Gong Xi Fa Chai'...may the year of the ox be prosperous for all of us......i also have a big announcement to make soon..... i have been busy with a personal project of my own

hint..hint....

CLARINS LIGHT MAKE UP WORKSHOP

2009-01-14T07:07:00.000-08:00

Last Wednesday i received an invitation to attend Clarins make up workshop by Mr Frederic Reymond from Miu and Dee. So me and the girls confirmed our seats. So all of us gathered at Zang toi cafe in Pavilions at 10 am on Saturday, Jasmine, Dee and Miu arrived early and managed to do some window shopping while waiting for them to set up. When i went up to the cafe Vivian was there already. Shazwany came a little bit later. While waiting for then to start, we had light refreshment .... tiny portions of finger food.... but delicious never the less. I LOVE the mini pizzas and mini chocolate banana cake. i sat in the first row, unfortunately the speaker didn't work so we had to strained our ears to hear Mr Frederic,stuff i learned from this workshop

1. invest in good brushes
2. always use spatula when ever taking out creams from jars/tubs
3.your face is like a sponge.... dab when you apply creams/ foundation don't harshly slap on the stuff.
4. when applying eye make up always start from outer lid and move towards inner lids
5. to make lipstick long lasting, apply once and then blot than apply again
6. i finally learn how to do smoky eyes effect

after his talk, there was a QnA session and he help me identify my foundation no . later we walked down 1 floor and collected our goodie bag at the Clarins counter. i had a fun time , good food, great company, cute guy!!!!! and goodies.....what else then a perfect saturday.

DINNER WITH MIU AT OLE-OLE BALI

2009-01-08T06:49:00.000-08:00

Yesterday i meet up with tammy aka miu-plus size kitten for dinner, we wanted to try desert bar as it was having a 50% off sale on all food items. Unfortunately it was closed, until yesterday i never knew that there were 2 desert bar and coffee bean in Mont kiara, i got confused between shoplex and soho coz both got desert bar and coffee bean . Since i didn't eat lunch i was very hungry, so i suggested to Tammy we try ole-ole Bali.

the front door

my dinner , nasi champur

it has a nice atmosphere, with all Balinese decor, very relaxing . Food came very fast which was good as i was very hungry. so i had nasi champur, i cant remember the exact name but the portions are huge. Actually i think 2 persons can eat it, it has 2 vegged dishes, squids,fish, keropok, chicken, 2 different type of sambal and satay Bali. Tammy had marinated chicken wings and fried potato. The hazelnut milk is heavenly, nice and creamy and the milk shake was not bad

tammy dinner- marinated chicken wings

hazelnut milk - i wonder how to make this drink....

milk shake

i would definitely recommend this place for office birthday lunch, hope to eat there again.

HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR WISH

2009-01-06T07:23:00.000-08:00

i hope its not too late to wish all you guys a happy new year, my wish for this new year is less stress, less ngada-ngada clients and i pray that every day Allah help me to smother my work/project coordination . Well as for new year resolution... i will only make one....i hope i can manage my weight. So i made a pack with Lisa and kiren to exercise every monday, tuesday and thursday using the facilities at Kiren's apartment . ( wednesday can't coz its movie night and fridays he goes back to cheras)
so yesterday, i started with 1/2 hour on treadmill to warm up and then we swam for another 1/2 hour.... since i hardly exercise... so i thought it would be easier when i start slow. so today i tried the sauna near the pool. it takes a long time to warm up, so next time i will switch on the sauna first then go do the treadmill. i have yet to weigh my self but i know i m very heavy at the moment. the sad part is my short thights cant for me any more...so that make me more determined to lose weight. with kiren and lisa help and motivation i hope i would not stray and lose focus. well if this doesnt work ... there is always BTS. what that??? i ll save that story for another posting.....

oh yea .. ki if you are reading this.... many thanks in advance....

Master thesis update

2008-12-30T08:42:00.000-08:00

well i went to see Dr Zaitun today to register for the new semester. She wanted an update of all the stuff i have complied so far....i just have to be consisted to do at least some typing for the next few days. wish me luck

2008-12-30T07:55:00.000-08:00

group picture

Well i know i have been away for a while....so let me up date about the stuff that had happen so far....

Well last Friday was a quite day at work...so i went out to see the clients after lunch. On Saturday was fun coz i went to Miu birthday/ x-mas/open house...i thought i was late coz the invites said it starts at 6 pm, i arrived fashionably late at 8 pm ....so the food was nice, we had potato salad, maggie mee salad, barbecued shrimp, lamb ( my fav), chicken, hot dog and Hagen Daz ice cream cake. Miu said when they tried to start the BBQ, the grill exploded and some rocks were flying and luckily no one was hurt. i met some of the most bubbly, talkative persons on earth.
i met Miu bff/florist/home decor shop friend - Jasmine...she so nice...she is a part time florist, so she showed me some of the pictures of a wedding that the did the day before.... so nice the theme was winter Christmas with blue and white colors and she brought some deco stuff for the party also. i am thinking of getting her to do my wedding stuff, then i met with Miu ex collage friends Zuhari and onie ( i think ), and Onie was passionate about ancient weapons and did some consultations for the National Museum, so when he knows that was studied anthropology we hid it off...i tell you this guy can talk your ear off...then i met a fellow uia student.....Schazwany....i followed her blog one in a while so it was nice to meet her in person. i also met Vivian...another fellow blogger.

So for Miu present .......i actually don't know what to get her....i know she love all cosmetics and is a kaki shopping like me...so i search all over Subang Parade...then i remembered she liked vivians cupcake....so i got her a cup cake set ....complete with recipe book and utensils. so i hope she have fun with the set .

ps...i got the nokia 5800 handphone and im loving it

AL-FATIHAH......to the family of Asst. Prof. Dr. Ahmad Shukri Yusof

2008-12-23T18:21:00.000-08:00

since christmas is around the corner, i would like to wish all my friends MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. Times like this make me miss one thing....snow...when i returned from the states last time they ask me what i miss the most....at that moment i could not think of any thing plus i was still small but now every time i read the news paper and it says that there is a blizzard i wish i was there. Now i read that its snowing like crazy in USA....i want to be there......HEADLINE FROM YAHOO NEWS: SNOW STORMS BACK WITH A VENGENCE.....previously we stay in Philly ( philadelphia) it doesn't snow very much but when there is a storm .....it blanketed the whole area.....so my wish is to let it snow...let it snow ....let it snow......

new handphone.....for me?????

2008-12-22T02:04:00.000-08:00

nokia 5800

OMG....!!!!! i saw an add for this phone yesterday,..... i love it its so cool....i want..... i want......its the new nokia 5800 music express touch screen phone. It looks like an i Phone but has a better camera and features. the camera is 3.2 - which is ok by my standards. this is because to take site pictures with 2 mp is a bit of a problem, picture is not so clear. so my minimum would be 3.2. So i contemplating between sony ericsson c902 which is 5 mp and this one.i m not much of a nokia fan as i much perfer sony but this is sooooo eye catching..........hhhhmmmmm i wonder which one should i get. .....i would love to hear your opinion....oh yes the other one look like the picture below. i need to get is coz there are too many things in my bag....so less is better.

last wednesday i watch this movie. to me its a so and so...the pace was very slow., but as always my eyes was glued to keanu more then watching the movie. the part that irk me the most was how they react to the alien (played by keanu.) of all the things they can do during first contact was shoot the poor peace loving alien that ment them no harm. that is USA answer to everything.....guns...if you have not watch this...just wait for it to air on HBO

D'interieur Annual Dinner 2008

2008-12-14T00:53:00.001-08:00

well its that time of the year again, where we have fun one day a year....yes it our annual dinner, luckily this year was not so rush and no horror/ funny stories happen ( i ll share those stories next time). so this year the plan was to exchange gifts, lucky draw, bowling and dinner....sound simple rite...hahahahah.....ok so the day started like any other day...

so all gathered at the office lisa and kiren arrived in the nick of time before we start. so reen open up a bottle of sparkling apple juice and gave a toast to a good year and hope that the next year is a good year also, then before handing out the gifts reen announced that kiren had won rm 200 for being the first at the office. So then we exchanged gifts,( scroll down to see all the gifts i got) or you see my photo album. so thanks to our generous suppliers for contributing to the lucky draw we managed to do 3 rounds of draws. for the first round i won a study chair, then the second round i won a rm 100 voucher from Jim Thompson and finally the last round i won an i pod shuffle and a cake mixer.

then it was off to mid valley for 2 games of bowling. It was ernest first time bowling,,so he was a virgin bowler... the place looked more like a disco the a bowling alley but lisa said it was good...coz when the ball goes in the gutter no one can see......so there were hidden talent among the staff and may be we will form a team. luckily this year we didn't go karaoke again coz we all are bad singers (except kiren) and i don't want to hear fiq sing dangdut.....

after bowling we rush to Le Meridian for dinner coz every one was hungry already. the buffet was huge and delicious....i made several rounds....most of it to the tempayaki section....sedap....the desert was better, they had 3 chocolate fountain ......and ice cream tempayaki also......the candy bar was a dream.....they had all kinds of chocolates and even a section on nuts ......all kinds....so after that we lepak a bit .....waiting to down load.....*hehehehe*.......it was fun and i had a blast. thanks to all who made it great.....and thanks for all the gifts

cheers to d'interieur....hope the next year is good

starbucks 10 years of coffee connections

2008-12-11T07:20:00.000-08:00

on ground floor of my office, we have a starbucks and since i m very busy i managed to dash to buy a frappachinno for a quick pick me up. they were having a promotion - 2009 leather planner and it was love at first sight, i just had to have it ( impulsive buy) so i paid for a grande frapp and and extra rm 18 for the planner but it was worth is as my other note book is almost finish. the good news - rm 1 is donated to charity and you can enter an LG contest to win a flat screen tv. I can't wait till next week , starting from 17.12.2008 when you purchase a grande you can a special edition tumbler for rm 10. which to me is a good deal as their tumblers are usually rm 30 and above. so check it out at your nearest starbucks. The funny part is i show it to my boss and she bought it soon after. hehehe.....

INSPIRASI COMEL- TUBBIES A CELEBRITY FROM LA LA LAND

2008-12-11T02:08:00.000-08:00

A year a go, my cousin's husband ( so he not actually related to me and never speak to me) ask me to help n a tv show that he was producing. It turn out that he was producing a kids show- (decorating kids room something like casa impian but for kids). They had fired the last producer coz he was gilar kuasa , appointed him self as an id counsultant and wanted to do everything and the outcome didn't turn out right. Knowing my background he quickly ask me if i can help, he ask me to redo 4 rooms with each different themes. i was hesitant at first then when i saw the previous episodes i feel like hiding my head in the ground.

After thinking and working out the budget for each room i said ok. Then start the most tiring week of my life. Now i know why actors demand high pay.....its because of all the waiting...want to setup the lighting, props...so tired of waiting and i m not a patient person . At this time i was still doing my day job coz most of the filming was done at night. My first day ended at 3 am...so we shoot 4 episode in 4 days!!!! ( coz the host was flying out to australia to shoot a drama) penat that is all i can say and the reason why i would not do this again . The last day ended at 5 AM.... then by raya haji i didnt go out and totally ignored my relatives coz I was catching up on my sleep.

now the TV program is on tv2 every Wednesday , started last Wednesday- 10/12/2008. so check it out !!!!!

so this is probably my first and last show. i dont want to do anymore, penat. So below are some of the pictures that i remembered to take.....

bed setting

bed from a different angle

study area

study table

please bare in mind that i have a very limited budget that need to stretch for 4 episode. i took a minimalist approach not too much stuff but over all i think its ok due to the limited budget that i had, boss liked it so ok lah.Actually i don't want people to know when its airing but they found out anyway so tak pa lah. i hope they enjoyed the show.

SALAM AIDIL ADHA

2008-12-09T07:50:00.000-08:00

It was a wet and rainy hari raya korban. the rain started from midnight and lasted till 5 pm the same day. Since i rained i didn't go "raya" to a lot of houses. So my aunties ( my mom's sisters ) all gathred at my cousins place in Rawang. It was a plesent surprize that my other cousins from Australia liyana and danial came back for raya. it has been a long time since i meet up with them. i think the last time she was in Malaysia she did the i/c .....time pass so fast...now she is 16 and going to collage soon...(now i feel old...i stop counting my age when i turn 25...so now every birthday i celebrate anniversery of my 25th birthday. ) As usual no holiday is complete without food fiesta. so at my cousins place we had nasi minyak, sambal sotong, daging kicap, daging rendang, acar limau and lontong. (her menu is similar to what we cook at home but we had nasi serai) it was so cold later that night, in the morning i dream that i was sleeping in an air conditioned room. I will post the pictures later as the bolg keep doing funny stuff to my post

SAVE THE PEOPLE , STOP GENOCIDE

2008-12-07T07:47:00.000-08:00

although i don't practice what i learned in my bachelor degree, (coz now i do interior furnishing)
i always monitor social problems via media and my own observation. i wish i was a curator or an activist or a lecturer so i can teach students about the society they live in .

today i watched a startling documentary by my favorite journalist Christian Amanpour about genocide, its appalling that politics and economics gets in the way of action. they scream bloody murder and they were ignored, shunned and said it was someone else problem. the holocaust, Cambodia, Iraq, Rwanda and lastly Darfur are examples of genocide. before 1944, no one had even a term for this crime.It is a very specific term, referring to violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. major superpower don't want to even admit it as an act of genocide as the Geneva convention compels them to act.

i am still traumatize by the images but my trauma is nothing compared to those who suffer from this hennas crime. how can we let this act keep repeating in history. Man never learn until its too late. the sad part is the killing of innocent civilians, man, woman and children. Lets raise awareness of this crime so that the UN security council will act.

A1 gp.....my second trip to sepang

2008-12-02T06:38:00.000-08:00

Me showing my colors....

on the 23 nov i went to Sepang racing circut to watch A1 race coz i got free tickets, it was nice but ...IT WAS SOOOOOO HOT...i felt like i m in the sahara.....every thing was very far and the food $$$$oooo over priced...i thought i came prepared( i packed water, ear plugs, towel, biscuts) but when the race didn't start yet all my food and drinks finish. i had fun, had my face painted with the colors of the Malaysian flags.....ye lah when else you want to show your patriotism. The main race starts at 3 pm but before that they had an exhibition race. the cars look like the ones in Datona race...( dont ask me the type coz i don't know).....and the video game....then there were the police dancing marching band ....amazingly they play the latest pop tunes....

when they were perparing for the main race the one that stole the show was not the A1 racing Babes but a camera man on a segway.....i have only seen and heard of it in tv and internet but too see it live WAS SOOO AMAZING !!!!.....and it might be the last time i see it too...live...

i was sad the fairuz didn't win ....coz at one time he was no 3 then he made so many mistakes, i think he finished in 15 place...i was sooo.. sad coz every time he pass the main stage every one would stand and root for him. The exhibition race....they look like cars that

race in Daytona

WAREHOUSE SALE...

2008-11-13T07:34:00.000-08:00

well who don't love a good warehouse sale...earlier this year ...just out of curiosity i googled warehouse sales to find out if there are other warehouse sales in kl...lo and behold...i came across a wedsite sns.com...it has introduce me to a whole new world...it seems that almost every other weekend there is a warehouse sale being conducted. My fav so far has always been estee lauder ....but the thing is....you have to line up so early...very early...i have noticed over the years that the crowed keep getting loco every year...3 years a ago ...i lined up at 6.30 and i would be in the 3rd row...then the next year i have to line up at 6 am just to be in the second line....this year was just insane...got there at 5 am ....lucky i was in the first row BUT LINING UP AT 5 AM...!!! ( the first person in line lined up the 4 am)but i was all worth is...i saved so much...

so after a few months of observing the posting i can sum it up like this. for perfumes there are a few company that hold the rights to famous brands ...first..estee aka suria meriang... they hold the rights to the following perfumes and make up...estee, dkny, mac, origins, michele kors, origins, clinique , bobbie brown and tommy hilfiger. For brands such as ralph lauren, chacharal, armani, lancom, biotherm, shu uhumura is held by loreal. then you have another co (i not so sure of the company name) they hold dolce and gabbana, gucci , anna sui, hugo boss, la coste ...(they usually have their sale in komplex 3k in subang jaya...while the most extensive brands are being held by luxasia....they hold brands such as j.lo, briney, marc jacobs, carolina herrara, (this company hold rights to the most coolest brands. ) check out their website for more info. the funny thing is...i use to be one of their suppliers ...when they were doing their spa in star hill. that is how i got to know them . then you have the two most famous perfume house...christian Dior and chanel ...i have mange to go to their warehouse and purchase items ....with out getting broke.

the next one i m curious to go is Valaram sale....their hold rights to the most execlusive brands such as coach, jimmy choo, and etc...i want to go just to cuci mata...coz even after the discount i still cant afford the items. well that's all for now....signing off from la la land....tubbies...xoxoxox
