Uncle Lim Food Court

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Uncle Lim Food Court

Finally!! Another food post! I used to blog a lot about food but it seems like not that much anymore lately instead it has some what becoming a beauty blog! What to do? I do not eat out much these days. I have tonnes of beauty product posts in queue summore. Aikss… I think I’m going to to loss readers that come to my blog for food. OH NO!

Anyway, here comes another food post ;p

Went for dinner at Uncle Lim Food Court at Sekama the other night with my family. We used to tapao the kolo beehoon/mee, beef noodle/beehoon from here. It’s easy to located, roadside only. Just next to the inn there. Don’t remember the name of the inn hahaha…


Left: Beef noodle.
Right: Beef beehoon.

I won’t say theirs are the best but it’s not so bad.


Left: Tomato noodle(RM3.70), very sweet -.-” No tomato taste.
Right: Taugeh mee(RM2.70), very sweet too, don’t like it. I love taugeh mee a lot, the only noodle dish that I will eat without complaining of being full after few mouths ;p

There’s not much choices to make at night but they have many choices during the day time such as lunch. The place is always packed at noon. In fact the place has its name changed quite a number of times. The name now is the latest, obviously…

Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque

Remember the first Cellnique product I reviewed? It was the Cellnique Contour De-Puffy Jewel.

The second product that I tried from Cellnique was Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque. This 50g jar of masque costs RM159, the most expensive masque I ever tried. It’s an honour to be able to try it out.

I thought it’s blue in colour but when I opened it up, it’s grayish white. Then I smelt something… Soy sauce! Aiks… I sniffed it again, fruity smell. Then sniffed again, soy sauce! *LOL* Soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce…

The first time, I applied it on my face and the same smell greeted me, soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce… Very funny. Finally I figured out the fruity smell was actually pineapple smell. I suspected pineapple enzyme in there and I was correct! For the whole 10 minutes, I’m smelling soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce…

The grainy texture also serve as scrub. I’m using it once a week after cleansing my face. After 10 minutes, I wet it with some water and massage in circular motion before washing off the mask from my face. I was warned that it might have warm and tingling sensation at the cheek area and I really felt it for the whole 10 minutes the first time I used it but it’s not unpleasant, I quite enjoyed it ;p.

The second time I used it, the warm and tingling sensation only lasted for awhile. This time, no more soy sauce ;p maybe I got accustomed to the smell. The pineapple smell was so yummy, it made me hungry!

The following is from their own website:

Enzyme

  • Bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple plant, Bromelain helps digest keratin protein and promote exfoliation effectively. Skin appears smooth and brightens after the dead skin cells being removed.
  • Papain, an enzyme derived from papaya, helps exfoliate damaged and dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores that can result in skin eruptions. It is able to whiten and soften the skin, heal wounds and prevent the subsequent development of pimples.

Full Ingredients List:
Purified Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Kaolin, Glycolic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, C12-20 Acid PEG-8 Ester, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Papaya (Carica papaya) Enzyme (Papain), Phenoxyethanol, Trithanolamine, Caprylyl Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Citric Acid, Pomelo (Citrus grandis) Peel Extract, Pineapple (Ananas sativus) Fruit Extract, Acrylate / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Potassium Sorbate.

I like the after feel. My skin looked and felt so smooth and clean.

My skin looked quite rough before the masque, then after that it looked so smooth. The after photo was actually slightly blurred so the skin looked so smooth but this was what I saw with naked eyes too.

The photo was taken with macro mode. Seeing my skin in macro gave me a chill -.-” all those pigmentations, blackheads, pores and so on really freak the hell out of me. Really cannot play play with this. I’m not young anymore! I really hope with constant use of this mask, my pigmentation will be in control.

Anyway, you notice the arrows? That’s one of the clogged pores and it was gone after the masque session.

I quite like this masque but the price is a bit steep as usual but I might be able to use it for quite long because I don’t have to use much. I estimated that if I used it once a week religiously, it might be able to last me a year or more. So… Price wise, maybe it’s not that expensive after all.

What I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t come with spatula, so it’s not that hygienic.

However, please take note if you have very sensitive skin. This product might not be suitable for you because it contains AHA.

Actually I have a post to post today but I did one very silly thing few days ago until the post cannot be posted. I saved the wrong photos for the post and have to redo. I spent so much time in filtering the photos but at the end I saved the wrong file and only realized it just now.

Instead of posting that post, I’m going to be very vain ;p Going to show you my camwhoring photos since I’ve been getting quite a number of requests and haven’t been posting much of my photos lately.

I’m going to post a series of my photos especially those with me having professional makeup done since I have quite a number of them from the contest I joined last year. Should do a collection of it. So this will be the first one.

Today, I’m posting the one from last year’s 1st photo shoot for tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt. Makeup was courtesy of Stage. It’s my first time using fake lashes too. These photos were taken 7 hours after the makeup was done.

Enjoy! I’m so vain!

Pizza Hut Cheesy Lava Dip

Posted on By sweet surrender 16 Comments on Pizza Hut Cheesy Lava Dip

We went for pizza dinner the other night at Pizza Hut, Jalan Song. It was such a lousy experience! No wonder so many people complained about this outlet.


We ordered Pizza Hut Cheesy Lava Dip and guess what? They didn’t tell us anything when we ordered. They didn’t tell us Revive was out of stock, they gave us Pepsi. Fine… It’s just soft drinks.

Then the soup was warm not hot. Very diluted too.

Next, the pizza, do you notice something missing? The lava dip!!! We asked them about it, they told us it’s out of stock. We’re paying for this “special” pizza, so it cost more yet we’re getting the “normal” pizza!


After that, this one… The breadstic. -.-” They just cut up the bread that they used for garlic bread and served it to us like that, so hideous! They didn’t say anything about it too. We took a peek at other tables and everyone suffered the same fate.

What kind of service is this? You should tell us when we ordered or at least offer some compensation rather than just kept quiet about it until we asked. Then, when we asked, you did not bother to provide any compensation especially the missing lava dip and it’s not cheap I tell you!

All I can say is that, avoid this outlet. Lousy one. The last time we were there, they had some of their stuffs out of stock also but that was years back. They didn’t improve until now. WOW! How “good” is that?

Earth Hour 2010

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Earth Hour 2010

Last year, during Earth Hour, I was at Sematan Palm Beach Resort with my family. The resort off all its lights outside. We were in our room. We off our lights but left the TV on *LOL*

This year, it’s pretty funny.

Talking about Earth Hour. I really don’t know how to put it. I’m not against it but I’m not that supportive towards it also. We might as well do our part to save mother earth daily rather than this particular day? I know it’s some sort of symbolic but still I don’t get it especially towards some people that support this event fully yet they are the one that wasted the most electricity on daily basis. Bah! No difference at all.

Anyway, back to this year’s earth hour. It’s 8.30pm and we were still having our dinner while watching Satellite TV with 5 lights on, 4 in living room(coz we’re not using florescent tubes) and 1 at the staircase. At that time, I went to switch on another TV because I wanted to catch my show. My dad suddenly asked me to off 4 lights in the living room since I got up and was on my way to the light switch.

I was quite blurred at first. Then I realized, it’s Earth Hour already! I asked my dad twice whether he’s serious about switching off the lights? Even my mom too asked him about it. Then he said, “just support a bit lah“. Try to imagine laughing while your mouth is full. Then my mom said, “might as well off all the lights and just use the lights from the TVs!” Hahaha…

Why? Aren’t we supposed to off all the lights? Not only that, might as well off the TVs since there’s light from the TV, the computer too *LOL* Yet, at this time we had two TVs switched on, 3 bulbs off, 1 on because we’re still having dinner, 1 florescent tube at the staircase as you don’t want to fall from the staircase due to darkness, and 2 computers on.

So? Wanna shoot me for that?

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that, why don’t we do power saving on daily basis rather than just today? There is no point doing it once a year. Do it everyday! It’s really not that hard.

Happy Earth Hour!
