Cellnique Earth CampaignRemember I had blogged about Cellnique products before?

Check out Cellnique Earth on Facebook. They are having quiz running on a daily basis in conjunction of Earth Day and you get to win samples from those quizzes. Quickly check it out before it’s too late.

Besides that, this is a good time to check out Cellnique official site because they are having some promotions such as you can now get Cellnique Contour De-Puffy Jewel which I reviewed before at only USD50 instead of USD54!

By the way, I’m not paid for this, I just want to share it with you especially on the winning some samples part.

Oo… Ha! Favourites of Sarawak by Vincs Huang

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Oo… Ha! Favourites of Sarawak by Vincs Huang

We don’t really collect or purposely collect cookbooks. Just happened that we have a collection of them by getting them as free gifts and old subscription of monthly cookbooks that my mom used to subscribe more than 20 years ago but we seldom try out the recipes ;p. Usually just see, see, look, look, and drool over it.

This is the latest collection to our collection, Oo… Ha! Favourites of Sarawak by Vincs Huang (bilingual edition).

I got this from joining a contest conducted by Borneoboy by submitting my experience queuing for donuts ;p

You can find many Sarawak signature food in there from some communities in Sarawak but it’s a bit disappointing that there’s no Sarawak Laksa or Kueh Chap or Cha Kueh recipe in there. The recipes featured in there are all from popular eateries in Kuching. Just to name a few, Lok Thian, Chia Heng, and It-Hng.

Besides recipes, there are also articles in there introducing food and places of interest of Sarawak.

My mum does cook most of the recipes in there and those that she doesn’t know how or require a lot of preparations, we would just buy. Makes life easier hahaha…

Nevertheless, it’s one interesting cookbook for our collection as we don’t have any that is dedicated to Sarawak.

Thanks Borneoboy for organizing the contest. 🙂

Be Bold & Go Bald

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Be Bold & Go Bald

Is Irene going bald this year for Go Bald 2010?

Ummm… Sorry to disappoint you… I’m not. Me not bold enough to go bald. If you are then good for you! Let me know if you are, I can help you get fund via my blog. No guarantee will raise any money but no harm trying 🙂 So… What is this all about?


Attended Go Bald press conference yesterday at tHe Spring. Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society is back with its second “Go Bald” event that will be held on May 16, 2010 at North Court, tHe Spring.


This is the second year they are doing it and hoping to get more people to join in this campaign to create awareness of childhood cancer and offer moral support. Also to raise RM1 million for the construction of a new SCCS centre to provide an unprecedented level of care and support.


SCCS deputy chairman of fundraising Wong Kok Ping (seated left) and SCCS president Gary Ho (seated right) were shaven bald at the press conference at tHe Spring yesterday. They were the first two to kick start the event.

Last year Kenny and Gette raised fund thru’ their blogs and went bald. Good for them.

You don’t have to buy tickets for food fair, all you need to do is offer to go bald for the cause. Just offer your hair if you can’t contribute any money, of course if you can contribute some money it would be great.

Another way is that you might want to set a target amount of money that you want to donate and tell your friends and family about it. Let them donate and if you reach the amount, you go get your head shaved on 16th May. Even if you don’t get the targeted amount, you can also still get your head shaved. It’s up to you on how you want to be a part of this campaign. Just be creative, your hair will grow back eventually.

That said… I should set an example myself, it would be more exciting right? Eeekk… Sorry… Not me. I’ll just help in creating awareness and let you bold people out there take part in it ;p

WAH! Busy!

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on WAH! Busy!

Supposed to do a post but something came up so will do it tomorrow.

Was running some errands around Kuching this afternoon, then I have tonnes of notes to make for my coming exam. Not even half way.

Gonna get busy with my coming exam.

On the other note, actually I’m having mixed feelings and all kind of thoughts running in my mind and also there are some issues that I have to look into related to my personal life and my future. I won’t reveal much of it for now until things are certain. There’s only less than a year to decide and once decided, there is no turning back. Just crossing my fingers that everything will work out nicely and I won’t chicken out the last moment or half way.

Good night!

Qing Ming 2010

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Qing Ming 2010

Tomorrow will the actual day of Qing Ming. Many people went to the graves today because it’s a Sunday and tomorrow is a working day.
We also went today, this morning. Usually we left at about 6am or before that but this year we were quite late. The mist was quite thick. We left at 6.30am and there were already many people busy cleaning and praying.

I forgot my phone so didn’t take any photo. However, I couldn’t resist it when I saw the sun ray. Check out the photo. I know it’s not that obvious but it was very nice sun ray. I asked my brother to take the photo. Few minutes later, my brother thought of taking a better one but no more such ray could be seen. The sun had shifted.

Life is short, just like the sun ray. Appreciate what you have now before it’s too late.
