Kado Cafe

12 Days of Silver Giveaway, QUICK! Who knows u might be that lucky, here you go http://tinyurl.com/6qyclp

It was silly, very silly.

Kado Cafe provided free refreshments on their soft opening few weeks back but somebody thought that it’s at Ang Cheng Ho all these while and went to Ang Cheng Ho to look for it. We scoured the whole Ang Cheng Ho and we saw nothing!

Later we found out that it’s actually at the last shoplot behind Public Bank(the one near Lok Thian) at Padungan, Jalan Chan Bee Kiew. You say silly or not? Missed the free refreshments ;p

Anyway, finally got chance to pay Kado Cafe a visit. It’s located upstair of a coffeeshop(don’t remember the name *LOL*).

The entrance, all the way up to the cafe. You’ll be greeted by bright colours wall and colourful decors.


Then, you’ll be greeted by the last brightness(the big jar and some fake plants). The brightness turns into darkness(not that dark but kinda dark for me ;p).


You will feel as if you are sitting somewhere outdoor or some street corner with street lights, fake plants and a water feature. At the same time, you’ll also feel like it’s indoor. Very confusing hahaha…

No air-con installed but lots of ceiling fans. It’s not hot at all, the windows were opened too. Wonder how if it rains heavily hmmm… I don’t see how the air can venitlate if the windows are closed with only the ceiling fans on.


The menus, separate menu for drinks and food.


Drinks, we ordered papaya juice and watermelon juice(RM3/each). No sugar added, pure fruit juice and wasn’t strained. We were given a shot glass with syrup in case we want our juice to be sweeter. To me, original is the best, no sugar added. However, it’s good too as people can adjust the sweetness as they like.

For snacks, we ordered chicken popcorn(RM8). When we saw the price, we were quite relunctant to order because it’s quite pricey. It’s more expensive or almost the same price as the appetizers or main courses but when it came, the portion could be considered big, so RM8 is quite OK. The chicken popcorn was sprinkled with lots of salt and black pepper. It tasted not so bad at first, then the more you eat the more salty it became. If they can just reduce the salt a bit then it would be better.

They serve western and some Chinese food. Price range can be consider in the lower medium range. Great place for hanging out. The place is actually quite spacious. One more thing, the toilet is spacious too! ;p

Will definitely go there again.

So… So… Vain (2)

Remember these photos? Don’t worry, no more fake engagement ;p

Actually I just want to share about the makeup I used in this photo. For the first time I sort of utilized so many of my Everyday Minerals collection. All these photos were taken when I got back from class which earlier on joined the launch of Minex 100% Trade-in program. My face was very oily and I bloated the oil before I took the photos playing with my “1-carat diamond” ring. ;p

I notice that my face could get very oily faster when using mineral foundation compare to the conventional foundation.

All the photos you see here are not touched up except adjusted the curves a bit.

These were what I used and it took me about half hour. Spending most time in concealing my undereyes.

Foundation: Everyday Minerals Neutral
Eyeshadow: Benefit r.s.v.p
Mascara: Maybelline Volum’ Express Hypercurl
Undereye concealers: Everyday Minerals Abbott’s Perk me Up, layered with Everyday Minerals foundation Fawn, then layered again with Everyday Minerals Golden Medium, and lastly Maybelline Angelift Foundation. Hehehe… Scary eh? That’s because I overdid the concealing, there’s too much minerals on the brush too ;p Still trying to handle those minerals. Ended up with many obvious fine lines and I had to use my moisturiser to “dilute” them and topped with Maybelline Angelift Foundation.
Blusher: In2It
Lips: Lipice Fruity Lipbalm and Sheer Colour.

That’s all. Hmm… I should do this whenever I dolled myself up, it’s kinda fun hehehe… Since I seldom dolled myself up .

Holiday Mood?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Holiday Mood?

Hey! It’s year end! Can you feel the holiday mood? I can’t feel it yet. Hmm… Maybe I need some Holiday frames so that I can feel the mood. I’ve been talking about changing my spectacles frame since last year or so and haven’t change it yet! Hahaha… Believe it or not? I haven’t change them yet because I always ended up with expensive frame and I don’t want to part with my money. So how?

I just paid a visit to Zenni Optical just now and they have wide range of Holiday frames. The one I’m showing here is quite cute, I quite like it. It has Chinese New Year feel to it! Don’t you think so? Chinese New Year will come very soon, maybe I should consider getting myself one since I’ve been busy hunting for new clothes and might as well get a new spectacles as well.

Do you want to get a new frame too? If you do, then so check out Zenni Optical for the frame that you like. I’m very sure you will be able to find the frame that you like. Remember to show it to me when you got it. Can’t wait to see the new frame of yours.

Beauty DNA Deep Sea Water Spa Mask

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Beauty DNA Deep Sea Water Spa Mask


Heart attack or not? 😛

This is the first time I’m using this kind of mask. I never want to buy one because:

  1. My face is small for the mask, see the photo you will know, it’s such as waste on me.
  2. Expensive… I just cannot bring myself to spend money on this thing especially those branded one that will cost more than RM10 per piece. Not even the affordable ones like this one which is selling RM3.99/piece.

Since I got this as a gift when I shopped at Easyshop, I got the chance to try it out.

This mask is formulated with algea extract and deep sea water. Algea extract offers deep hydration. It can tightens, lifts, calms and soothes irritated skin, also to even out skin tone. As for deep sea water, it soothes dryness and rejuvenates the skin.

My verdicts, indeed it’s a waste on me! My face is too small for it! ;p Summore after putting it on for 15-20 minutes according to the instructions and massage the rest of the essence into the face.

The sheet was still very wet with all the goodness there. I felt that it’s a waste to throw it away immediately and guess what I did with it? I placed it on my back! *LOL* Then the “liquid” in the packet, I massage them to my whole body, just like using lotion. Imagine that, there’s plenty more for my body.

Anyway, I used the mask and the dry spots on my face were no longer dry. There’s no skin flaking for few days. It works for me but I have to use it every few days to maintain it as instructed on the packet for best result. Imagine, how much money I’m going to spend on it even though it’s RM3.99 per packet. -.-” NO WAY! I can get one bowl of Sarawak Laksa with every packet.

Then again, it works. Still, I’m not spending such money ;p
