ƸӜƷ•¨¯`•My Recuerdos•¨¯`•ƸӜƷ

Woohoo!!This came in the mail (actually, it came in a yellow striped, honking Poslaju van at my gate) for me yesterday:-
After layers of newspapers and loads and LOADS of bubble wrap, I finally got to hold my 88 Warm Palette in my hands!!! I've been waiting for this for two weeks.

I got it from this online shop here, at RM71 including postage.

Yes, since I'm stuck at home currently (because I have no car to use since my dad sold his Wira and is now using my Saga) and have time on my hands, I have been indulging myself with beauty videos from YouTube hoping to learn DIY tips to pamper myself. Hehe..

Well, I learnt a lot of interesting things from Michelle Phan's channel. She has really interesting videos on make-up tutorials and beauty tips such as using food for beauty purposes and stuff. And whilst I was browsing through all those, I came across this video which shows you how to curl your hair using only paper and no heat. Shared this video here so that you may watch later:-

Pardon the weird expression because I just woke up and am a super bad cam-whorer. Haha!! But anyway, it means that paper curls do work!! Okay, maybe some would scoff and say why not just go get a perm or use curling irons if I want curls. Well, for one thing I don't want to ruin my hair with all the heat and chemicals PLUS if I don't like the curls, all I have to do is wash my hair and I'll get back my straight hair again; which you can't do that if you get a bad perm. And this is quite FUN actually. It can be a sleepover project or something to do just for fun.

A tip from me though, you might want to keep wetting your hair before twisting them up because the other sections can dry while you're twisting up the other side and you don't get such tight curls if your hair is not damp enough. Don't WET your hair please. Just dampen it. Also, the curls didn't last long for me because I have really stubbornly straight hair (that's why I never do anything to it) and it was wavy by the end of the day. Hair products like hair spray or serum help to enhance the curls too.

Aside from that, have fun. I did.

I get the most INTERESTING messages in my Facebook inbox. Haha!! If you have been reading my blog you'll probably remember my previous encounter with a boy who messaged and called me 'stuck up' (click here to read). Well, just yesterday I opened my Facebook at 8 in the morning and saw this message in my inbox from a guy, N. I don't know this guy at all by the way. Read on:-

My eyebrows really went UP. I didn't know whether to take it seriously or not. I mean...it was 8 a.m. and this fellow was awake and begging me to play Bejeweled for him. Mind you, he was offering a stranger (I don't know him, he don't know me) access to his FB account just to win a Bejeweled bet with his friend. HUH???!!! Anyway, read more:-

Well, I relented. Because I looked through the mutual friends and the info available on his account and decided he was serious, and not a joker nor a mad FB hacker (a few of my friends' profiles got hacked recently ). Plus I didn't want him to go giving his password to someone else who might abuse it. So I logged in, played 3 rounds before I surpassed the 200k mark for him with 319,800 points. He used his girlfriend's profile (turned out to be a junior of mine in secondary school) to FB Chat the whole time.

Well, that certainly made my day more interesting. Haha!! To think the FB game which I play weekly (it's quite addictive) can be such a serious bet for someone to spend a whole night trying to score. I wish I could win something with my scores though (Dang, I should have asked for a share of whatever he won with my help!!). Oh, if you're wondering, this is my score for the week:-

So close to the 500k medal!!!
See what I mean by addictive??

Ben picked me up early and he drove to Midvalley for our movie, Knight and Day. Since we reached earlier than expected, he got tickets for the 11 a.m. show instead of collecting his booked tickets for the 11:30 a.m. show. The cashier still tried to charge him an extra RM1 for the tickets even though he was not collecting tickets. We went into the cinema right after getting the tickets.
The movie was rather a disappointment. Was not as action-packed nor funny as I expected. Though it had some pretty outrageous and over the top scenes, it didn't have me laughing until I was breathless nor holding my breathe anticipating what would happen. In fact, it was pretty predictable. Pity. With two well known Hollywood stars, it could have been so much better.

Anyway; after the movie, Ben brought me to this place in Damansara Heights called Chef & Brew for our lunch. It was my first time there and the both of us were the youngest people in the place. The rest were all clad in work suits and enjoying their meal during their office lunch hours. The place had a nice and relaxed atmosphere though. I really could not decide what to order because he had already decided on the set lunch there. I was spying on other tables and everything looked nice. Haha. But when the waiter came over, I had to make up my mind in the end. Pictures of our food:-

was extremely garlic-y and buttery. Nice.

Good flavour. I enjoyed everything on the plate except the mixed vegetables.

I liked the coffee but could have done with more caramel in it.

Ben's Fish Fillet with Nyonya SauceThe fillet was actually really tender and nice, only the sauce was strange since it was peanut sauce meant for rojak. The sides were good though.

(which I honestly thought was Coke!!Haha!!)

My craving for a Japanese buffet was finally fulfilled. Dad promised to bring the family for a Japanese buffet since we were in KL for the week. After some consideration, we went for Saisaki Japanese Buffet :-
If it sounds familiar to you, it's because it's under the same company as Shogun Japanese Buffet. I can almost safely say they're the same?? At first my brother and I were campaigning for Tenji in Mont Kiara but Dad didn't know the way. We crossed Jogoya off because it was quite pricey. So Dad's friend recommended Saisaki and we went for and evening of family gluttony indulgence. Okay, I shall keep words to a minimum and let you gorge your eyes on the pictures:-

(was very tender and good)

(tasted funny. =/)

from the dim sum corner

'Shark fin' soup

They disguised glass noodles as shark fin.
WTH. I've eaten shark fin before so they didn't fool me.

(Not too bad)

Assorted fruits, pudding and mochi.

(LOVE the peppermint chocolate flavour)

I was so SO SO SO FULL. I tried to drink hot tea to help with the bloated-ness but it made me feel all sloshy. Haha!! Well, we were all pleased with the buffet because we took our time eating and managed to try most things by not being greedy and taking a little of everything to try (except maybe the oysters. I ate like a dozen of them). Satisfied and STUFFED. See my bro displaying the OMG-I-overate look:-

I love buffets. Once in a while.
Good food tastes best with great company.
