Today I was told about SKII's Tea Event on 26 March at Sogo KL. Seems like all I need do is buy a voucher for which I receive a Door Gift, and if I purchase above a certain amount like RM650 at the event, I get another Free Gift worth kinda about the same price.....SO - I spend like RM150 on the Voucher to go and RM650 for the products and receive RM1400 worth of SK-II - that'll last me 6 months I guess, since all their items last approximately 3 months.
The thing I'm afraid of is that I'm gonna spend a chunk of money on items that don't work. If they work, well and good - it's the other side of the coin I'm worried about.
I know there are lots of good reviews about the brand but heck, I've survived so many years with some off the shelf products and some branded items and was just told by the Skin Analyst that my skin is good - I guess I could say it's younger than my biological age...MUAH HA HA - oklah, I said that last part myself......
But I am developing some fine lines and I guess it's about time to whip out the 'A-N-T-I-A-G-I-N-G' bottles...........WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

This is what I call GREAT SERVICE!!!
I just called HSBC's Call Centre and seriously of all I've ever tried, they are most definitely the most well-trained, helpful, committed bunch. They know how to address me properly, they speak well and they know how to use their grey matter when posed with a situation or concern or problem to address.
They never have to lapse into BM like what Astroe staff have to do. They don't just tell me 'It cannot be done' like Citibankk staff and they never forget any of the multiple requests I have made - shows active listening, shows ownership of their function and responsibility as a Call Agent and it never hurts to be polite eh?
So kudos to HSBC - I would pay to keep your Credit Card! HEhehaehahahahahahah

OSIM Is Customer Friendly
I recently transported my OSIM massage chair to my parents' house in another state. I must say that I had quite a hard time looking for relocaters who knew how to handle the chair, knew how to unhook and hook it back up as well as be responsible enough not to 'lose' it over the course of the long journey. I have no idea why I went through all the trouble looking for an honourable transportation company when all the while, the answer was right at my fingertips!
I called OSIM and yes, of course they have a relocation service. Damn! I WAS surprised - but it makes sense right? I mean this is not an easy to handle piece of equipment - it weighs 130kg and has sensitive parts.
So, anyway, they transported it for a VERY Reasonable price - that's the second reason right there why I love them.....Sorry - the third - the first is that I love their chair first of all.
But I would say one of the biggest reasons why I love them would be that upon arrival and test checking, we found that one of the arm massagers wasn't working anymore.....And guess what, they made it all ok - they replaced the sensitive part - all without COST! Now I know many of you out there would say that yeah that's what they HAVE to do since they moved it and caused the fault in the machine. But the thing is that, they did it without any fuss, without any issue to me about even paying a portion of the cost or labour charges, ANYTHING! And the thing actually cost quite a bit!
All you need to do to contact them is to write in to them via their website - and they'll call you back soonest.
So there you go - FIVE Major Reasons Why I Love OSIM.
1. It's easy to contact them
2. They are professional and efficient
3. They understand the services you require as an OSIM 'shareholder'
4. Their chairs are expensive yes, but they do also offer reasonable pricing for other services.
5. Their chairs are DA BOMB!!!!!!!!

NO Resolutions
Why do people lie to themselves??? If they really had the balls and gumption and willpower to make a change in their lives, they don't need to wait til a new year to state, hand on heart, that they are going to , , (sorry, watched 'Obsessed' on BIO last night....Hehehhehehehe....
So, for me, it's just tell myself I'm going to exercise on Tuesday and Thursday nights cos Wednesday nights are for American Idol Season.....Latest....and swimming with hubby on Sun morning. Other than that, I shall do what I can.....
Of course I didn't start today cos...you know...I attended a Press Launch and reached home at almost 9pm. So.....

TEEK Brasserie Lot 10
Today I attended a Press Launch at Teek Brasserie on the Rooftop of Lot 10. It was quite nice. I especially loved the rounded sofas and their table stands which looked like layers of meat stacked one on top of the other but a bit wonky to align with the quirkiness of the place. It's not really quirky though, but the sofas lended it that persona while the rest of it looked pretty conventional.
The food there is good and I Likee.....especially the Pan Seared Scallops which are apparently 2 for RM24.....but yum! The restaurant serves a mixture of Western and Eastern dishes and a 'Sar Hor Fun' goes for like RM32 so that gives you an idea of the price of the place. Probably good for a once in a while but not too often cos I don't see it having THAT much appeal to keep people going back for more. There is a bit of a drinky, hang out feel to the place that will probably put off the real food connoiseurs. Teek and the nearby club Rootz belong to the YTL Group so I got the message that the quality is there if you're willing to pay for it - not really prices of an arm and a leg but definitely pricier.
The h'or deouvres served that I liked tonight included the curry chicken pau which had very nice curry chicken (with santan) which I seldom go for, and the minced chicken salad was ok, there was also this very special spring roll dipped in passionfruit puree which was cool!!!!! The spring roll was filled with pieces of mango I think but it was different and very refreshing. And I really enjoyed the way the food was presented.
Someone asked for coffee, which I didn't have so can't say if they serve good coffee. But for you peeps who enjoy your cappucino - Starbucks in SS2 and Secret Recipe in Giant Kota Damansara serve them well.....in fact, the last time I went - the coffee was the only thing I really enjoyed in Secret Recipe! :(
Btw, Starbucks does not have an ISO Rating right???? Cos the Cappucino in the Penang and JB City Square Mall outlets were KRAPPPP!!!!
Toodles!

Wearing a Pashmina
Ok, I'm trying to research how to wear a pashmina or wrap or scarf on youtube....How difficult can it be? I can't seem to find a nice pretty way to wrap the pashmina around my shoulders and keep me warm at the same time! Anybody got any ideas?
Kamensk-uralskiy, Sverdlovsk
I just saw this on location on my Live Traffic Feed - Kamensk-uralskiy, Sverdlovsk....so cool!
I'm reaching poeple from around the world! Let's find out something abou the place shall we? (OOOoooh, my life must seem so weird/different to this person!)
"Hey there! If you ever come back, leave me a note and tell me if life where you are with its own concerns and issues is the same as all the way over here in KL, Malaysia, ok? DEAL?"
Kamensk-uralskiy is in Sverdlock, Russia!!! I've always wanted to visit Russia! It's one of the fastest growing cities in the area and its main economy/industry is cast iron smelting/foundry works.
One of the interesting things about it is that in the New Year when it gets to freezing, they build ice towns and ice figures there - including Chinese Zodiac Animals! I'm an Dragon - can you build one of me???
COOL!

High Flyer!
I've been travelling up and down to Johor Bahru recently and it's just been crazy busy at work! Also, bro in law got married and that was interesting and exciting to see someone else do it and not have to worry about what got lost/missing/forgotten.. Our wedding was crazee to plan and there were a multitude of hiccups but then, without hiccups what is there to remember huh?
JB is not a fun place - there is nothing to see, buy although! The last time i was down there, there was a pasar malam (night market) near my hotel and my colleague and I went a-visiting. We remarked to ourselves that it seemed like we had just been released from the big KL jail cos we were oohing-and-aahing over almost everything!!! I think it didn't help that we were hungry but we bought all sorts of things to stuff our gap with! We even tried some deep fried chicken feet! Not much to gnaw on but it was interesting since the ones I normally eat are the dark soya-sauced boiled ones.....
Will be travelling again soon - tomorrow to be exact - back to Penang to be with the family! Gosh, it will be so good to see everyone again and have EVERYONE back together again. It seems like ages since I've seen my sister! I wish she was here and my parents were here! No Fair!
But I'll be back in good ole Penang until the New Year so HEHEHHEHEHE!!! Then CNY is coming up and it'll be the first time we have to give angpows! Aioyoyoyoyooo.......Luckily bonus is coming along. We've spent quite a bit of money this month cos I had an aircon installed in my condo and we moved stuff over with a lorry etc cos we're renting it out.
I also wanted to custom make a shoe cabinet for outside the house but jezz Louise! It costs RM900!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll just buy one for RM200 huh? I think I need to tone down on my shoe shopping toolah.....Sigh....what else do I have to tone down on???? It's not fair! But I guess that's what you have to do when you live with other people....Sis in law also has many shoes (nuff said).
Can you believe it that for next year's CNY new clothes, most of them were bought by mum???? That shows when I can't even buy my own clothes, or not have the time to go shopping. Seriously, whenever I go out nowadays, nothing looks interesting....NO SHOES EVEN! Can you believe it???? NO SHOES!!!!!

RUMBLES of Mumbles
Today is a holiday - I had plans to go to the Big Bad Book Sale but saw a report in the newspaper that it was jam packed - JH advised not to go and get stuck in all that.....too bad, I was really looking forward to it - I've never heard of a book sale being so difficult to get to! Anyway, there is another reason why I'm abit down, besides the fact that JH is working today and we can't spend some time together when it's not a weekend. You know how you get that extra delicious feeling when you get a day off that isn't a weekend? It's like sneaky and extra fun cos you know it isn't normal????
Well, anyway, I was doing a bit of math and realise that I don't think I'm saving anything these days....I've gone from a massive saver to a 'cutting my coat beyond my cloth' person!!! I don't even know how it happened. What with paying for the mortgage and the maintainence and my car and various other things......what does it mean? That I need to get a new job? I think I am earning way below my potential here but am not sure what I need to get into to earn what I should earn.
I thought I was doing good but I don't think so anymore.....Suze Orman on the Oprah show just said, try to live on half your salary for 6 months.....I can't do that on my nett salary - as it is I am over it I believe hence me concluding that I don't think I am saving ANYTHING these days! She also said we oughta have an emergency fund 8 times our monthly salary. ACK! Scary - am I missing something here?

Skinfood Cosmetics and Skincare
My mum always maintains that my skin looked its most glowing and radiant and healthy a few years ago when I used Skinfood. They have the most delicious gorgeous packaging - everything is made to be like food - hence the name. I really liked their Pumpkin face cream but after using one jar, I went back just to find out that they didn't sell it anymore! So instead I bought this icky little Su Cream (Blackberry or something). Cost me like RM80 and apparently it was a new product....expensive at that - for Skinfood.
One week ago, I was browsing in Skinfood again - they always look Soooooo Goodddd! And their Chocolate Facial Foam is to dieeee for!!! YUM!
Ok, anyway, a week ago, I was browsing and I.SAW.THE.PUMPKIN.CREAM.AGAIN!!! But THIS TIME it was retailing for RM60 (I believe the old price was RM48 or thereabouts). So, clever old me kinda thought - hmmmmm....so I take away a product, I bring it back after a respectable interval, I've 'improved the formula in it' and I sell it for a higher price......I mean, I'm not SAYING anything, just THINKING ALOUD. Whaddya think?
I have noticed that they are changing their products alot - and getting more expensive as they cycle through.....Worth 10 sen huh?!
Btw, I love the MAC mascara. I also just bought Maybelline's UNSTOPPABLE Curly Extension Mascara for RM28.00 (on discount) at Watson's and I really like it too! I figured I already have the length - I need some curl gurl! It goes on nicely, the brush is a nice size with nice brush bristles that coat nicely. The black colour looks good -I wonder what Gold mascara looks like.....or brownish lah....
JH thinks I'm defacing the Mona Lisa!
