Enjoying October...

Harlo... I am back after a long hiatus! Hope you do miss me.. Pretend to be even if you don't..LOL!! 

Guess I've been indulging a lot earlier this month by looking at what I'll be sharing in this post! Haha

That's what we had at 'That Latte Place' the other week. Located inside Ikon Connaught at Kuala Lumpur - A cafe that I would still love to visit again! 

Ordered my favourite cafe latte! The only coffee I would order. Maybe I am not a coffee person; so more milk is better! :-D

Tried 'The Burger Lab' at PJ!! When I was there, it was a long queue to make orders. You can assume how toothsome the burger can be! Yummy!!

Thanks to Mr.K for bringing me to these places for meals. 

The first mandarin speaking church I've attended! Something fresh to me but it was awesome worshiping in Mandarin songs! :-D

 

Went over to visit Jonny again! Cut my mane at least three and a half inch shorter! Nice or not?? I love compliments! So you know what to say ya.. Hahaha!! 

Attended wedding dinner of my ex-colleagues from VMD. Looks like we could only have gathering when someone from our group got married! 

>.< 

We-fie together!! We should hang out more often and not only gather on a wedding occasion. Lol!! 

With the lovely couple who I've known for almost eight years! 

And with 'my darling' who looked pretty that night.. Hehehe!

 

I even met my little friend at the wedding. Gabby looks so sweet that night and I can't resist to take a picture with her! 

Till my next update, ciao!!

October please be good ya!! :-D 

The Wedding

.... Not mine obviously.. LOL  

If you missed the earlier post on Huey's Bachelorette Party, please read here :-)

The bride's bouquet for morning session 

According to norm,the "ji muis' - brides best friends were suppose to plan some games on the 'heng dais' - grooms best friends before the husband could be with the wife on the wedding day itself. Of course, we don't plan them on the day itself but weeks earlier!! :P

Welcoming the groom and friends with our handmade cards

We went to Huey's place the night before her wedding to prepare some of the games so that we don't have to rush the next morning. Thanks to Nana for the printing and not forgetting the rest who came out with all the game plan. :-) 

Mission Accomplished! 

We made some 'healthy juice' for the guys. Celery with milk! But I guess it was too mild for them and one of us mentioned to add some wasabi into it. However, after some dilly-dally discussion, we went with the mild option! Why were we so nice to them?? LOL.. I got to know from one of the heng dai that the games were not that challenging.. Anyway, the most important thing - We had fun!!! Hmm  ..Am I trying to made us feel better?? LOL  

Milk bottles for the "heng dai" :P :P

Sushi Time

I think this is the most hilarious part. We were suppose to apply some wasabi on the sushi but our 'sifu' came and said this - "Oh, why 'applying lotion' to the sushi? You gals were suppose to remove the filling and replaced it with wasabi!" Sorry guys... we were just following orders!! LOL!! 

Bride, Nana and myself

The pretty bride is ready to selfie with us. 

Huey and me

More selfie before the arrival of the groom and heng dais.

Bride with her parents.. So sweet!! 

Briefing first so that we can coordinate better.. Haha

Exchange of corsage and flower band between 'heng dais and ji muis'

Game #1 ~ Welcoming the 'Heng Dais' ~

The first punishment 10 x push up (All the heng dais need to complete this task!! LOL)

Game #2 ~ Guess the Name

Kevin was suppose to find his wife's Chinese name. He had a hard time as he don't read mandarin that well. Haha... The ladies tried to surround him so that no one could guide him. 

The Chinese character we prepared for Kevin!! 

And he took out his wallet to search for Li Huey's name. He must have kept his wife Chinese name somewhere in his wallet. 

Because Kevin searched for answers - as punishment, the heng dais will have to drink what we have prepared for them!! :P

They managed to finish it!! This group of heng dais were super supportive!!

Game #3 

They have to eat the chocolate stick and remain 3cm. If the measurement is not accurate, they will be punished again!! Haha 

 It's not accurate! It's either longer or shorter that 3cm... 

Here's the punishment!! Haha

And here's their expression after having the sushi roll! Haha

The mistress of ceremony told us it's time to allow the groom to meet the wife. So we have to stop! Otherwise, more games to carry on!! LOL

After taking 'ang pow' from the groom, we agreed to let Kevin have the key to the room where Li Huey was.

Yeah!! 

Finally with the wife! 

The tea ceremony

The gorgeous ji muis!! 

The awesome heng dais!! 

Us!!! 

One more!! 

The newly wed leaving to parents-in law place for tea ceremony

The sweet couple leaving the house 

After the Chinese tradition, we proceed to the hotel for the next ceremony. 

The bouquet for the brides maid

I'll continue on the next post!! Stay tuned for more pictures and lovely moments!! :-)

Love Came Down

If my heart is overwhelmed

And I cannot hear Your voice 

I hold on to what is true

Though I cannot see

If the storms of the life they come

And the road ahead gets steep

I will lift these hands in faith

I will believe

I'll remind myself 

Of all that You've done

And the life I have 

Because of your son

(Chorus)

Love came down and rescued me

Love came down and set me free

I am Yours

Lord I'm forever Yours

Mountains high and valley low

I sing out and remind my soul

I am Yours

I am forever Yours

When my heart if filled with hope
Every promise comes my way

When I feel Your hands of grace

Rest upon me

Staying desperate for You, God

Staying humble at Your feet

I will lift these hands in praise

I will believe

I am Yours

I am Yours

All my days

Jesus, I am Yours

Yeah, I am yours, I'm yours, I am yours

Jesus I am yours

Decided to share this lovely song that reminds us of His promises to His children <3

Beauty Shopping KOREA

Korea is so famous for its beauty products and shopping is not to be missed!! As usual, I would stock up my products whenever I am out of the country. Shopping locally is just not worth it. Some of the item I fancy, I would not be able to get them here. 

What to buy

My shopping haul!! 

Before leaving for Korea, I have done some homework on my shopping list. Checking out blog reviews, you tube tutorial and even hunt for what must have item from Korea! We have heard of The Face Shop, Skin Food, Nature Republic and even Etude House. These brands are easily available here but they cost much lower in the home country. So if you are going to Korea, you must visit these store yea ^_^

MUST BUY Soothing Gel from Nature Republic

All from Etude House!! 

My favourite brands among these is Etude House! I have been using their make-up items and I must say their packaging attracts me. They have very cute and girly design which I love so much! I found out that some of the item I've bought from Etude House in Korea is not available in Malaysia yet. That's the perk of shopping at its country of origin!! Everything first to get!! HAHA

Laneige is MUST GRAB!! 

As for beauty products, aside from Laneige,  I am so into Innisfree. Not sure it's Yoona (Innisfree Ambassador) that attracts me or it's the product!! The organic and non harsh ingredient in this product and the pleasant smell makes me wanna buy its brand compared to the other local brands. 

I bought BB Cream and primer(make-up base) from Innisfree. They were both of different range. Since they seems to be so good, I bought another different range of BB cream for my sister. In the below picture (L-to-R) Innisfree cleansing cream, Eco science cream, Eco daily sunblock,  Natural Green Tea BB cream, Mineral Moisture Base, Jejubija Anti-Trouble BB Cream and Eco-Science Wrinkle Spot Essence. 

Tested Innisfree and I super love them!! 

BB creams and CC creams are a hit thing in Korea. Whatever brands store you walk into, you definitely get them - not one but many range for you to choose! It just so many that without any homework, you could end up buying nothing! Dizzy and undecided!! LOL 

CC Creams and It's Skin Serum

I have optioned for Banila & Co; the very famous CC Cream and not forgetting Tony Moly - as many raved for this CC cream too. I got the latter for my sister-in law. They will always be real happy when I am away for holiday as I could help them to get some beauty stuff ^_^

Too Cool for School is real cool!! 

Heard of Too Cool for School? Yeah! Another famous brands from Korea. I bought their pink blusher and lip crayon! Since I missed getting 3CE as they were not easily available, I bought Too Cool for School to compensate myself. What a "good" excuse! LOL

Free Samples!!

Korean are very generous when it comes to beauty products. When you buy one product, they give you samples. If you buy lots, they give you even more. There are some shops even if you don't buy, they still give you. Sounds so nice right? You can't get them here le!  

Clothing were considered affordable to me as their materials and quality were superb. Even so, we couldn't bought much as they were now having autumn and winter wear. Wear in Malaysia? Unless you wanna sweat like you've just bathe :-P 

Socks were very cute!! They were thick and cheap! I bought a few as souvenirs. Of course, I had some for myself too. HAHAHA

Since I major love Korean coffee, I bought this Soy Green Tea Latte from Osulloc at Jeju Island. With 10 packets in a box, I hope I don't finish it that fast!:(

Where to shop

I bought most of the items from Dongdaemun District at Seoul. Some can be bought from Lotte and Shilla Duty Free Store (no free sample but can be slightly cheaper). As for Laneige, I got them from Aritaum and Watson. 

If you are going to Korea on your own (free & easy), you may want to do some short tour around before you decide to get the items as some place could sell cheaper than the other. Some came with free gifts and vice versa. 

Don't worry about the distance as each shop is just located closely at the same area. For example, you can find Aritaum at the same street - one in the front and probably another one in the middle. LOL

I found a website that has some coupons for discounts - VISIT KOREA If you are planning for a trip there, you may not want to miss this sale ^_^

Using all Korean Beauty Products ^_^

Korean make-up is always about youthful look with dewy complexion. Super love them!!! 

Hope this entry would help a little for those who going to Korea for shopping! ^_^ I'ma gonna make time to review most of these item I bought from Korea soon and probably with some detailed location on purchasing the item. 

Going out now.. Till then, Bye!!
