As for those that are invited to attend weddings, especially those attending Chinese wedding, happy giving ang paos! 😛 Hehehe… No wedding for me to attend this year except early this year, maybe year end provided I’m in Kuching that time. There were a lot last year but not this year. Most of them are busy making babies or preparing for their babies arrival this year *LOL*.

Spent RM100+ Today

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Spent RM100+ Today

Aiksss… I seldom spend this much in a day. To some people, this amount is nothing but it’s really quite a big amount to me. Told you I don’t simply spend money one. I seldom do this during normal days except when I shop for CNY clothings.

I just found out that my lipbalms are almost finish, both are about 2mm left. I didn’t know, I thought still have a lot. So went to Watsons to buy. Bought Lip Ice Mandarin Orange(15% discount :)) and Lip Ice Sheer Colour(no discount :(). spent around RM18(The receipt is not with me, so this is rough estimation hahaha…) for these.

Then, I’ve been wondering whether want to try out colour contact lense for quite sometimes and decided to buy them today because I heard that when you buy two boxes, you get one box free. So after doing some math, it’s actually cheaper than my normal visibility tinted contact lense, I could save few Ringgits for 9 month supply.

Actually I just bought a box of normal visibility tinted contact lense for 3 month supply last week. I’m not sure how long the offer will last, so better get them first before the offer ends. Or is the offer on going one? No idea… The expiry dates are also still quite far away, 2011 and 2012 hahaha… So I can keep stock. Basically, I got my 1 year contact lense supply already. There won’t be any shopping for contact lense in one year time. 😛

I ended up buying 3 different colours(true hazel, brown and sapphire blue), means 3 boxes, each pair can last for 3 months. I’ve been using monthly disposal contact lense(switching from Seequence, then to Acuvue Clear, then finally settle with Softlens38) for years.

I’ll start wearing colour lense in October. It’ll be my first time using 3 month disposal contact lense. I will have different eye colour every 3 months. YIPEE! 😛 Will blog about it by then Hahaha… I’m so lucky that both sides of my eyes have the same degree summore my degree has been maintaining for years, so this offer is really a great offer, I got to choose 3 colours!! These 3 boxes of Freshlook Colorblends cost me RM100 for 9 month supply.

Softlense38 costs me RM38 for 3 months but the price increase to RM40 now. I get to save few Ringgits. Hehehe… Then I heard my sis said, somewhere is offering 2 boxes for RM84 and free one box -.-” However, not sure what’s the brand on offer, could be the same. WAH! Oh well… Still manage to save few Ringgits better than nothing.

Today I spent more than RM100, it’s a lot for me. I never spend this much in a day for shopping alone and all these things could fit into a very small plastic bag!

My Sis Cut My Hair

Posted on By sweet surrender 28 Comments on My Sis Cut My Hair

Hahaha… Believe it or not? You have to believe it! My sister cut my hair! 😛 She always cut her friends’ and her own hair in UK. I decided to ask her to cut my front hair for me since she has the scissors and the hairstylist that permed my hair didn’t want to cut my front hair :P. I always like to do some risky ‘stunts’ with my hair, I cut my own hair before, I gave myself a fringe before now I asked my sis to do it for me.

Left: The scissors she bought at a pharmacy at UK.
Right: Before and after photo 😛 Hehehe… It happened about few weeks ago. Wasn’t in the mood to camwhore few weeks ago. These photos were taken few days ago, so you can see it now… It’s not that bad afterall hahah… It’s maintenance free too. Hahaha…

I had to edit my dark circles -.-” in my photos, it’s really bad 🙁 Thanks to the late night sleep and the slightly swollen eye on the right that looked like I have eyebag at one side of my eye.

Hotel Chocolat – Rice Ganache With Vanilla

Raspberry Fruit Bake, Fox’s Classic, Hotel Chocolat – Dark Champagne Truffles

Another chocolate from Hotel Chocolat. It’s called Rice Ganache With Vanilla. Very nice presentation right? Too bad they were squashed. What do you expect? They were in the luggage without much padding and protection for almost 24 hours.


It stated that it’s guest recipe. Hmm… My guess is that the recipe is provided by their guest. Interesting… This is not dark chocolate obviously. It’s white chocolate. How’s the taste? It’s just white chocolate *LOL*


The filling contains 4% of rice crispies. It’s suitable for vegetarian according to the prints on the packaging. It’s very smooth, rich and sweet, something different from previous chocolates that i showed you.

Are you wondering what is ganache? I am. Hahaha… So I searched the Internet and found out that:

It’s a mixture of chocolate and heavy cream. Ganache is used as an icing or filling for pastries, filled chocolates, chocolate truffles, and other desserts.

Ganache is normally made by boiling heavy cream, then pouring it over chopped (bitter) chocolate. The mixture is stirred or blended until smooth. Ganache can be enhanced with liqueurs or extracts.

Depending on the intended usage of the ganache, the proportions of chocolate to cream can vary. Typically, a ganache is equal parts chocolate and cream; this is used for filling cakes. For a chocolate truffle base, a ratio of 2:1 (chocolate to cream) is used. For making a glaze, the ratio is 3:1.

*sourced from wikipedia*

Got it now? More chocolates on the way…

8 Random Facts – It’s A World Of Me

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on 8 Random Facts – It’s A World Of Me

SUPER HOT! The haze is back! Will be quite busy these few days so will slow down in my update. Rest assure you can get at least a post a day 😛 Thank you for visiting hehehe…

Goodness gracious… What is the blogsphere going on lately? Why are there so many tags about facts? *LOL* I’ve done quite a number of them already with different numbers given. First, it’s 6 Weird Things. Second, it’s 10 Ways How I Make You Surrender. Then, it’s 7 Facts/Habits Of Me. Now, 8 Random Facts by Weng -.-” I just realised he’s from the Philippines! WOW! Welcome… Welcom to Kuching hehehe…

Do your math *LOL* How many facts are you getting from me already? 😛 Most are repeated hehehe…

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

No tagging… 😛 It stops here.

1. You cannot pop my cherry. Only my husband can. *Blek*

2. I hate people smoke. I don’t want my other half to smoke too, he’s going to make me sick. For the record I could sneeze non-stop for about 3-4 days after exposing to cigarette smoke until I could feel as if every single organ in my body dislocated. Every sneeze was really painful. It’s true! No fun sneezing non-stop for so many days ok?!?! Besides that, it’s yucky to kiss a smoker *wuek* don’t even say give him an oral, double YUCK!

3. I’m sure I’m not the only one, being a Postie for PayPerPost, especially those that look for opps everyday like me, if I didn’t manage to get any opp for one day, I can even dream that I got at least one opp in my dream when I’m sleeping -.-” I don’t bluff you, it’s real.

4. I’m an introvert. I’m not an extrovert like what you think.

5. I don’t like all those wedding customs, it doesn’t matter what kind, Chinese, Malay, Indian… I hate the tea ceremony, I hate the playing game part, I hate wedding banquet with more than 90% of people attend that I don’t know etc. I don’t mind them in other people’s, I can enjoy them but not my own coz it’s not my wedding hahaha… However, if I need to go tru’ these in my wedding, guess what? I let you do anything you want, I’m not going to challenge or interfere with anything as long that I’m not the one paying. Whoever wants it, he/she will be the one paying for it. This is how I’m dealing with other things in life too.

6. I’m almost a full-time blogger hahaha…Such bliss… 😛

7. I hate people that complains about people yet they themselves are doing the same shit.

8. I found successful men sexy *LOL*

Me, myself and I
