From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Transforming the Human Spirit @ tHe Spring

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Transforming the Human Spirit @ tHe Spring

It’s been a long long time not updating about events in Kuching.


Went to tHe Spring just now with my parents. Since I’m there already, decided to check out “From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Transforming the Human Spirit” exhibition. Basically it’s about against war, nuclear, violence, and all bad things that people do to the world that cause choas to innocent people like you and me.


It’s organized and sponsored by Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and Physicians for Peace and Social Responsibility (PPSR). They make sure that all visitors are entertained as in there are many staff there to look out for anyone that has no “guide” and they will explain to you and guide you tru’ the whole exhibition.


The last part will be signing the petition.


After you had signed, you will be given a red sticker of a bird and you will stick on this poster anywhere you like.

Quite an interesting exhibition and I do encourage you to go. Remember to sign the petition! 😉

Everyday Minerals Samples, Second Batch

Posted on By sweet surrender 21 Comments on Everyday Minerals Samples, Second Batch

Remember the first post of Everyday Minerals free samples that I told you before? I ordered the second batch on 26th September and I finally got it today! I was expecting it to come later due to Raya holidays and rough estimation based on the first order.

This time it came in bigger package as I ordered the brushes too.

Here you go!
Postage: USD5.30
Brushes: 2xUSD6
Samples: FREE
Discount: 5% (always check their Specials page before ordering to get discount code)
Total: USD16.70
You can order them at EverydayMinerals.com. They don’t pay me to write this hahaha… Just that it’s something nice to share with all of you.


I selected the 2 new colours in olive range for foundation and also the new concealer. I don’t have time to test them out yet. Wait till after my exam or Penang trip 😉


Now I have 6 shades of foundations.

The thing is that… Now it came in bigger jars! WAH! However, they still contain the same amount of powder. I got this from their site:
Mini jars and temporary sample jars will be used for sample kits until 10/30
So? Want to get the bigger jar? Make sure you order within October. However, you might still get the mini jar, depends on your luck I guess…


Concealers and blushers. Bigger containers are new batch; smaller containers are the first batch.

My collections hehehe…

That’s it! No more order, I have no money in my Paypal anymore too ;p Just withdrew the whole thing few days back.

Will blog about each of them when I have the time to experiment with them.

Toilet Seat Issue

Contest at http://tinyurl.com/4t9oel for all bloggers based in Kuching! Cash prizes to be won!

I’m a bit lazy to edit any photo so just give you a text post.

How many of you girls out there actually complain that your man never put up the toilet seat? We always hear this from some girls and always see it in TV. It can even cause an argument between the couple. Com’on! Why complain and whine about this petty issue?

This is usually the case, the girl left the toilet seat down and never bother to put it up, then when her man came and put up the seat and did his business, isn’t this very considerate already? At least he took the effort to put the toilet seat up so that he won’t dirty it. Then she came and complained about him not putting the seat down! WOW! This is very unreasonable. No? Guys, I’m sure you agree.

Imagine, if your man is the one that kept whining and complaining that you didn’t bother to put the seat up after you use it?

You see where the direction is going? Put down also wrong; don’t put down also wrong. It’s just lifting up and down only, it won’t cost you anything. Why you have to make a big deal about this issue? It’s just so stupid to argue over this matter in your relationship.

Next time, stop complaining about the toilet seat! Appreciate each other and look at things in different perspectives.

It’s very affordable if you do your math. No tax and pay RM2 for the free flow of high quality green tea.

Kaizeki Take Set(RM33.90, normal price is RM56.00). Personally I don’t quite like this set because I don’t really like fish with lots of bones.
