Labuan >> Kuala Lumpur

3 November 2013 (Sunday): 1035- 1300: AK 5177

Around 10.00 a.m., my mum had sent me to Airport to meet up with my cousins. My mum was sent me to arrival hall and let me go by self. That time, I also blur until my cousin called me and said that she was waiting me at departure hall then I realize that my mum had sent me to the wrong hall and I need to go up to departure hall by take escalator.

In flight, I had found out that the uniform for Air Asia Team was on casual wear. I thought that maybe today is Deepavali holiday so they can wear collar T-shirt with jeans. We sat with an Indian lady while her husband also sat same row with she but separate by walking lane.

When arrived at airport, we had gone to toilet. The toilet was full of people and everyone queue up with the first come first in base that made me think of OneFm (Local radio station) as it always promote queue up with first come first in base. 

LCCT

At my place, usually people queue up in front of toilet door so you can see that in front of all toilet doors had been queue up by someone and for who is queue up at right toilet door then she can go in the toilet very fast when the person come out while for who is less lucky that if the person in toilet has stomach ache that took long times to come out and she need to wait for more longer time.

Maps

After came out from toilet, we went to get the map at Information Counter near with LCCT Emporium. After that, my cousin’s friends fetch us to eat lunch. While lunch, my cousin’s friends had advised us to be careful in KL as both of us are girls and KL is a quite dangerous place as many cases of snatch happen. The advice that they give to us is don’t talk on phone while walking besides road as it will be a target for motorcyclist to snatch us and all your important things should put inside pocket instead of in bag.

After lunch, my cousin’s friends had sent us to Mangga Hotel. During our way to Mangga Hotel, I had found out that in KL had many Petron Petrol Stations as at my place there only has 1 Esso Petrol Station while Shell Petrol Station seem not popular in KL but at my place is one of the popular petrol station. Flat also can be seen at everywhere in KL.

6 November 2013 (Wednesday): 1530-1755: AK 5172

We went to airport by taxi. As my cousin had brought too many things so she planned to buy the “checked baggage”. In airport, we tried to buy “checked baggage” through online but cannot so we asked for the staff to help. 

Air Asia 

After asking for the Information Counter, we had found the Air Asia counter. At there, my cousin asked for the “checked baggage” and the Air Asia staff had taught my cousin to use the machine to purchase “checked baggage”.

Information counter

Unfortunately, we were late so we needed to purchase “checked baggage” at more expensive price. We end up by brought RM 75.00 “checked baggage” that up to 15kg. If we buy “checked baggage” 4 hours before check in through online, we still can get RM 25 for “checked baggage” up to 15kg.

Check in luggage 

After done with check in the luggage, we went for lunch at Old Town White Coffee. After lunch, we went to waiting hall and wait for our flight. When at waiting hall, I had brought a newspaper for me to read while waiting the flight.

Flight

When in flight, I had saw a picture of Lost World Tambun in Ipoh and hope that in future has chance to go to there to play and stay as it looks fun. I also had a short nap in flight as quite tired for the trips. 

Elianto Nutrition Mask Sheet – Walnut

When first saw of this mask, I was surprised as this mask has contains walnut. I know that walnut is a nut that can eat but did not know that it can be a part of mask’s ingredients. This mask is formulated with an abundance of Vitamin E to infuse the skin with vitality.

The anti-aging properties of walnut work to nourish and clear the skin, make it a young and vibrant appearance. The 100% cotton mask pack helps the skin absorb the rich Vitamin E content, boosting skin tone, vitality and elasticity

How to use:

1. Cleanse and tone face to prepare the skin to absorb the nutrients from the mask.

2. Spread the mask sheet evenly over face, starting from the nose and eye area.

3. Leave on for a minimum of 15 minutes and maximum of 30 minutes and then gently peel off the mask sheet.

4. Gently tap any residual essence on face to be absorbed into the skin.

Caution: Do not use the mask sheet on sunburned, scratched or sensitive skin. If discomfort or irritation occurs, discontinue use of the mask sheet immediately.

Tips:

1. For further cooling and refreshing effects, chill the mask pack in the refrigerator before using.

2. For best results, exfoliate skin with a gentle scrub prior to using the mask.

3. For optimum results, use 2-3 times a week.

This mask wills leaving a fragrance smell on face after applies it. I can saw my face was nourishing after mask with it. When using this mask, I feel totally relax as this mask also include eye mask too so I cannot do anything when mask but lie down to relax my mind.

When wedding dinner started, I was planned to take some food photos but quite shy to make my relatives to wait for me to take the photo of food before eating it so I decide not to take the food photos.

After finished eat “Special Five Happiness Hors D’oeuvre” which is a dim sum dish and followed by soup, my mum suddenly asked me to take photo of the food as memory. As my mum asked for it so I had taken a photo of the soup but the times I took the photo, the soup had been served for first times and has some leave in the bowl. To avoid everyone for waiting me to take food photo, when I saw the waiter on the way served for my table, I already stand by with my camera. haha..

The quantity for the soup was so many that enough for served 2^nd times for everyone. Normally, the soup that I had met during dinner was not enough to everyone to serve for 2^nd times.

For me, the sauce for this fish has a little bit salty.

This prawn is crispy and delicious but has a little bit salty for me. This prawn is nice when mix with mayonnaise.

Cefenere Acne Formulation- Impurity Milk Cleanser & Cream Contour (Sample)

Through the blog of Audrey Ooi, I had been given a sample of Cefenere of Acne Formulation for a try. When the samples arrived, inside of it has a paper frame with a nice packaging of samples with a card.

Cefenere offers wide range of excellent quality skin care products ranging from “Skin lightening products”, delightfully scented wrapped in exquisite beautiful packaging. Cefenere “Anti-acne” range is our most popular product. Product formulations are ideal and suitable for every woman as ingredients are mostly garnered from natural plants which are safe and effective. Our products help in turning your skin into a smoother, youthful and radiance skin - Cefenere

Paper frame

Impurity Milk Cleanser dissolves dirt and impurities effectively and soothes inflamed and skin irritation. It is effective in battling acne prone skin.

How to use:

1. Apply adequate amount to face and neck with massage gently and rinse off thoroughly.

Alternative: Apply and leave on for 20 minutes on serious acne skin before rinsing through.

I dislike the packaging of this cleanser as it is very difficult for me to press out the cleanser. After opened the "press head" of cleanser, based on my assumption that cleanser press out problem will be missing of straw for connect to the bottom of cleanser bottle so for cleanser in bottom will be difficult to come out so I need to shake it out every time use it. I think it will be not a problem when purchase in full size.

Updated in year 2014- Full Size

This cleanser did not foam out any foam so I usually use it in the morning with clean face because I worry that if I using it by wash some make up on face, my face still has residue after clean it. After wash my face, I had feel of cold feeling which made me look fresh. 

Cream Contour is an acne solution to treat acne and breakouts. It regulates sebum secretion and provides tremendous result in pore refining.

How to use (suitable for day and night use):

1. Apply a layer on a cleansed skin especially on acne and breakout areas.

For best result, it is recommend to use Impurity Milk Cleanser for a through cleansing before apply Cream Contour.

This cream is in yellow color with smell of Chinese herb. After apply this cream on my face for few times, I did see that my pimple had been become minimize. I think if want to make pimple to get rid, need to apply it for many times.
