Sephora is Finally in Kuching!

September 3, 2014September 3, 2014 sweet surrender 5 Comments

Getting Benefit, Stila, NYX, Bare Escentuals, Urban Decay and etc. is no longer a dream for those in Kuching! You don’t have to go all the way to KL or Singapore for them! HAPPY!!

1st September, marked the opening of Sephora (the 9th outlet) at tHe Spring and was lucky enough to be able to attend the launch before they open it up to the public.

We’re given with RM50 gift voucher each and expired on the same day too. So… Being human, we will certainly want to use it to get something for free. Yes, can surely get something for free with this but you just want to fully utilize it so you ended up buying over RM50 and paid for the extra with cash. I would have just get a RM50 product and not paying any cash but I don’t need that thing hence I rather buy something I need. At least I only paid RM8 for RM58 worth of products ;p

Butter and CiatÃ© nail polish are now available here! At least get to try them out and Butter is great! Very pigmented. One stroke is enough, no need layers of application. Love CiatÃ© packaging, very cute.

Sephora’s own products. So many! It took me a very long time to decide what to get but I ended up getting nothing from here hehehe… The prices are very reasonable.

Left: Sephora’s body care range. Very colourful and smell yummy!

Right: Lots of sets too.

Luckily it’s not as big as those in West Malaysia and Singapore, the size is just nice. It took me more than an hour to decide what to buy with that RM50 gift voucher *LOL* Queued for almost half hour too and I was the last invited guest to check-out hehehe… We no longer have to fly out/shop online/ask people to help to buy those products anymore, it’s now at our own doorstep. Hurray to that!

On the other note, H&M is coming soon too! I hope not in early November because I want to attend the opening too!

Unveiling The Veil

August 31, 2014August 31, 2014 sweet surrender No Comments

During this long weekend, head over to tHe Spring to unveil something different. Starting from 30th to 1st September, you can get exclusive invite to unveil The Veil that will happen on 7th September.

The unique way in creating awareness to the public on what’s good and bad for a wedding gown. They are beautiful! You have to look closely to see that they are not made from fabric but from recycle materials. Imagine if it’s made with fabric, they will look stunning! However, sadly these are the kind of gown quality you get from many places for your big day. Such pity but you’ll definitely get good quality one at The Veil.

They categorized the unfit gowns as plastic, newspapers, and toilet roll. Very creative!

Plastic is because the gown is tight & uncomfortable, imagine wearing this on your big day… NO WAY!!! You’ll sweat and get all sticky because the gown cannot breath.

Newspapers is because it’s very dirty and unkempt. Usually this happens to old gowns and also gown which too many people had worn before. I’m very particular with this, ewww… Makes me cringe whenever I came across this kind of gown in many studios. Accompanied quite a number of friends to fitting before that’s why.

Tissue paper aka the toilet roll means the dress is easily torn and not durable. The fabric they used are very lousy, I came across a lot like this. I remember wearing a wedding gown when I was a maid of honour in my friend’s wedding. You know how crazy it is during the game sessions, my gosh! My dress was stepped on by the groomsmen and even myself while I tried to stop them from going up the staircase, not purposely stepped on it of course, the game just got a bit aggressive that’s all. Luckily it didn’t rip! The dress was of very good quality, you can feel it once you lay your hand on it, you don’t even need any extra supporting things to support the gown, it just sits nicely on your body and very comfortable to wear. Imagine what happened if the gown I wore was a bad one… *gulp*

Interesting huh? Check them out starting today till 7th September at tHe Spring.

Go now to get invite to the unveiling event where there will be workshops on how to select the gown suitable for you and how to pose for great photos, fashion show too! You will see the big names there too! Amber Chia is one of them.

Great one for couples who are planning their big day to attend. You’ll learn a lot! Also get special promotions during the grand unveiling at The Veil Wedding Gallery (Jalan Tan Sri Ong Kee Hui, 93300 Kuching) located just opposite SUPP HQ . rest assure that you will be taken care of by The Veil team for your big day, they are 5 this year!

Events Horizon at SHEDA Expo at BCCK (22-24 August 2014)

August 22, 2014August 23, 2014 sweet surrender 5 Comments

This weekend, if you have nothing to do or you are looking for properties be it for investment or otherwise, do drop by Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) for SHEDA Expo. Truth to be told, I’m hunting for a house now, any of you can recommend any? Gonna drop by this expo to find out as well.

This event is organized by SHEDA (Sarawak Housing & Real Estate Developers’ Association). I’ve never fail to attend this event in previous years except when I was away on holiday or when I was based in Adelaide. You know… Kuching… Nothing much. So when there’s an event, everyone will just flock to the same place. All these while, nothing special, just your normal event.

This year, Events Horizon has some interesting things in store for the visitors. Love selfies? Then, you should head over there as Event Horizon is going to set up selfie or photo corner at their booth decorated by Wedding by Events Horizon. They called it the survey panel. That’s what I heard. How it works? It’s like using the panel to take photo, pin, and tell them what’s your interest. Will definitely check it out when I’m there. What’s more, you might win something just checking it out. It’s gonna be a surprise. Will you be the lucky one?

See you there maybe.

Happy Belated Valentine’s & Chap Goh Mei

February 15, 2014 sweet surrender 4 Comments

These are some photos I took yesterday to commemorate my very first time spending Valentine’s & Chap Goh Mei alone.

Flowers aren’t mine. Belonged to my friend who got them sent to the office. No idea who sent it though. Haven’t take photo of flowers for a long long time.

Lots of hotels and eateries were decorated to accommodate the Valentine’s and family crowds because it’s a dual celebrations. These are some images I managed to take.

Guess where is this? I’m not telling ;p Just wanna share how some places in Kuching decorate their premise in conjunction with this year’s dual celebrations.
