MBO @ tHe Spring

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on MBO @ tHe Spring


Decided to go to MBO @ tHe Spring today. Today is the first day of opening. Last night was the official opening ceremony. I’m pretty sure this cinema will be filled to the brim for months. It’s new so everyone wants a piece of it and also because many are fed up with Star. Star really needs to buck up else they will suffer a lot!


Since today is 090909, many people took leaves just to celebrate this day with their other halves as I saw quite many people taking this opportunity to watch movie with their other halves.


Left: Hehehe… My sis spotted this sign. “No pets allowed” in Malay but they printed as “Pets allowed” ;p Original sign is wrong, “Haiwan tidak dilarang masuk”. Then the “tidak” was censored with masking tape, so it’s correct now hahaha…

I was thinking, this place is going to be packed for months, every single day and it’s going to be packed surely at nights, weekends and public holidays. So I thought it would be better to go on weekdays during office hour, at least it won’t be so packed but wow… There were still quite a lot of people even though it’s not packed for weekdays and office hour. I guess it’s because today is 090909. I heard it was so packed just now. Phew…


Lots of mirrors there, camwhored!


We watched Up at Hall 2. I heard quite a lot of good reviews about Up, that’s why we went for this movie. Not many people watched this movie, hmm… less than 20. Watched the 4.15pm show, not in time to go for 2.15pm show. Ticket was RM7/person.

I thought it will be very cold in there but it was just nice, not too cold and I don’t need to wear my sweater.

The sound was pretty good and the place was clean hahaha… Of course! It’s new! However, I’m not sure how clean will it be in the future. I don’t like to go to cinema because it’s pretty dirty, that explains why I don’t go to watch movie for quite sometimes. Hopefully MBO will ensure that cleanliness is their top priority and don’t end up like you-know-where.

Everything was fine but the toilet needs improvements *LOL* At least have something for the girls to hang their bags in the cubicle. Can provide tissue papers or not? ;p

As for the movie, Up, it was really good! The characters are so cute. It’s so sweet and tears jerking too. If only I’m watching this with my darling.

While watching the movie, something in there motivated me a bit, “Thanks for the adventure. Now go have one of your own.” It did help boost me up a bit. Time to look for my own adventure! Just one problem… Where and how to look for one? Need more inspirations… Hahaha…

Can’t wait for the karaoke to open at tHe Spring! I want to go to the opening!! Can? *LOL* I know… People will say, “who are you to be invited to go?!?!”. So what?!? *blek* Itching to sing K now.

Garnier Aqua Defense Essence

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Garnier Aqua Defense Essence

I’m running out of moisturiser and don’t have money to splurge on Clinique Dramatically Difference Gel so I had to make do with cheaper brands. After doing some research, I decided to go for Garnier Aqua Defense Essence, it’s only RM19+ for 50ml.

This is new product range from Garnier.

With the hazy, hot and humid weather now, it helps cool me down a bit *LOL* The gel is so cooling, I love the cooling sensation after applying it. When I place my palm on my face after applying it, I can feel the coolness on my palm. It is so easy to spread on the face and absorb very quickly. I just can’t wait for my next face wash so that I can apply it to my face. I like the scent too, very refreshing green apple scent.

Garnier Aqua Defense contains fruit water and Vitamin E. These two ingredients protect and defend the skin from external aggressions and free radicals. That’s what it stated on the box ;p

The spoke person for range of product is Crystal Liu Yi Fei, a Chinese actress. For your information, Garnier Aqua Defense Essence made in China.

If you have very dry skin, you can go for the gel cream. Garnier Aqua Defense Essence is suitable for oily skin especially my t-zone. As for my cheek, I just apply more on them ;p My face feels so soft and hydrated after using it but my t-zone oiliness problem still remain the same.

The only thing I don’t like is the jar, very heavy jar and you know how easy we can contaminate the whole jar when we dip our finger in to get the gel? That’s the down side of it.

Clinique Full Potential Lips

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Clinique Full Potential Lips

I’m given with Clinique Full Potential Lips lip gloss when I purchased some Clinique products few months back.

I used to like lip gloss a lot but I’m not really into it now because my lips will surely peel few hours later. I don’t know why. I don’t remember when it started also. So now, I seldom use gloss, only once in a blue moon. I had tried several brands and they all gave me this same problem. Hmmm… Anybody know why? Do you have such problem?

I was thinking of testing Clinique Full Potential Lips to see whether the same thing will happen or not, sadly it did happen too. Hmm… I cannot use gloss! I never apply the gloss alone, I will make sure I have a coat of clear lip balm on before applying coloured lips products.

Anyway, let’s see the effect:

Left: No gloss, only lip balm.
Right: It claims that it will plump and shine. So… What do you think? It does live up to the claim. The colour I have is Cherry Bomb (09), it’s so red in the tube but when applied, the colour just didn’t show.

Oh… It did sting a bit when I applied, first lip gloss I used that has such effect. It also has slightly minty smell/taste to it.

I got this from Clinique’s website and the last 2 sentences did give me a shock hehehe… Really?!?! Hmm…

Triple-action plumping lip gloss instantly and gently creates a fuller, lusher look. The plush effect lingers up to 6 hours. With continued use, peptides prompt skin’s natural collagen production to foster a smoother, more defined look. Builds moisture cushion and comforts lips, too.

That’s the end of my simple review of Clinique Full Potential Lips. Just like any other lip gloss, I’ll use it once in a while when I’m in the mood even though knowing that after using lip gloss my lips will peel. Girls… Rather suffer for vanity ;p

The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.2)

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.2)

Hehehe… Back by popular demand ;p I’m making a category specially for it.

Many requested to see the making love aka make baby aka woohoo, all these activities have same animation but only making baby will produce baby(I think… Can anyone confirm it?). Well… Nothing much to see, they did it under the sheet! *LOL*

See! Nothing to see at all! Finally she’s pregnant after 2 tries!


The the baby came. Last time they just had the baby at home with nothing much to see, you would just see the sims having labour pain and not long later a baby will be sleeping soundly on the mother’s arm but now there’s an option to go to the hospital. I selected this option and nothing interesting. You only got to stare at the hospital building until the baby is finally out and go home. *LOL*

Next, I’ll get them to make another child and this time I’ll see how’s the animation for having baby at home wakaka!

I realized that they don’t have a diaper changing furniture unlike the previous one. This time they just change it “in the air”. WOW! Very advance! Hold the baby up and viola! Diaper changed.

One more thing, you cannot plan the maternity clothing, they are preset. You cannot have fancy fancy ones, you can only make choices from what it’s given to you and only one for one function(everyday, athletic, formal, and sleep wear).

Will post again when there’s progress as I’m currently running out of things to blog and also exam coming soon… Time flies…

The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.1)

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.1)

Finally got The Sims 3 last Sunday. Not going to tell you where I got it ;p I have my source. Don’t ask and thank you hahaha…

I’ve been playing The Sims since the very first it was introduced long long time ago, I don’t remember when and how. I think it was my bro who bought the game and that time he was only in primary school. We love to play the game so much not for the character building but to decorate a house! We never progress much in playing the game but kept renovating and redecorating the house only. The characters are secondary.

Sadly, my XPS cannot support the game very much -.-” I don’t have enough RAM, so I had to play it in 800×600 resolution and reduce many graphical properties. In fact playing with such setting is enough to slow my computer a LOT! The game hangs quite a fair bit unless I close all my browsers and MSN. It’s pretty annoying really but what to do… Actually I can still play full screen if I off everything except this game but I still need to do some other things on the computer, there is no way for me to solely play this games without attending to other matters as you know how much time playing such game can consume.

I was amazed by the new functions. You can customize so many types of designs on practically everything, from the colours to the patterns. Cool! The sims are smarter now compare to last time ;p Not only that, the furniture can be placed around with more flexibility too. You can also go shopping, attend classes, gyms, go to beauty salons, dine in a restaurant and more! Unlike last time you have to buy the extension packs.

Anyway, here’s my game screen shoots:

Left: The house, I didn’t build it, lazy, I just placed the furniture in and extended the house a bit. The money? From cheats of course ;p My sims will never need to worry about money therefore to make it an easy game, I’ll just get them to be money oriented in their traits.

Right: My sims, Clair and Craig C. Couldn’t think of any name, simply gave one. They were housemates and my plan was to make them fall in love, get married and have kids *LOL* Just very normal sims hehehe… Nothing interesting. Then I’ll renovate and extend the house when new sims comes.


Developing their love for each other, lots of kissing, flirting, cuddling, making out, and woohoo ;p.


Clair proposed! Hahaha… I wanted Craig to propose but then I couldn’t find the option.


24 hours later, they had a simple wedding ceremony. Hmm… I was hoping that Clair would change into a wedding gown but aiks… No… There wasn’t one. Wonder how to get her to wear one *LOL*

Previously in The Sims 2, when they got married, they will automatically donned wedding attire. For this one, I don’t know how. Still have lots to discover.

Next, will get them to make babies hahaha… Want to see how they make one? ;p

Then after I got bored with this family, I might ditch this family and build another character with different story line maybe… Provided I have lots of time or I’m too bored.

Wonder should I post about the progress and set up a new category just for this game? Hehehe…
