Bling Bling With Advertlets

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Bling Bling With Advertlets

All right people! Get ready for another money making opportunity! Goshh… I’m so money face! Who cares? Who doesn’t want money? I saw Advertlets’ poll in many bloggers’ site but I didn’t bother much about it until my friend asked me to try out the poll by Advertlets. Since I was still busy, I didn’t bother much about it after taking part in the poll.

Finally I have a bit of time to sign up and go tru’ it. At the beginning, it’s just simply register and copy paste the codes into your blog. When the time comes, they will generate adverts that are relevant to your blog. This will make sure your readers will not be bombard with unrelated advertisements. For me the concept is the same as the one I registered earlier on from another company. They both claim that we can make money from it. That’s why I register. I don’t mind who will give me more money as long that they can generate money for me. Hahaha…

Frankly, to us, we don’t really mind as long that they can generate money. I found out that, if a blogger is register with Advertlets, he or she will sure to sign up with the other one. It really doesn’t matter at all. Bloggers don’t really mind but advertisers do. They are the one that will make decision of where to advertise. The one with more advertisers will win of course. Still… As long that there’s money given to us, we don’t mind.

Just recently I received a mail saying that they will be having feature where bloggers will be paid for blogging about products and services. Advertlets is started by Malaysians to Malaysians. Therefore things that we are going to write about will be much more applicable to us. Also, no language restriction applied. This is a good chance for many bloggers that blog in other languages as my friend has been seeing GREEN that I’m making money in the US based one. *blek*

Look at the ad banners at my sidebar. You can see two of them right? I’m not practicing favouritism, I have no idea who to place first so I resorted to placing them based on alphabetical order. 😛

So… Why wait? Sign up now and be a part of us!

Borneo Highlands – Lunch & Goodbye

Lunch time! We checked out before we went for lunch at Annah Rais Cafe.
Left: Satay, vegetarian version of course. The satay tasted good. Also salads.
Right: Corn and egg soup. Very thick, love it!

Rice, beehoon, mixed veggies, and pineapple beef(not real meat, don’t dream!)

Mixed veggies again… And “you cha kueh” cooked with sweet sauce(this should be the morning leftover and they turned it into another type of dish), and fruits.

left: Red rice porridge, at first we thought it’s red bean porridge. 😛 So thick! It’s cooked with sugar, coconut milk and sago.
Right: Coffee or tea?

While we were dining, the fog(it’s called fog right?) kept coming on and off. One moment things became invisible, another moment it’s visibile again. As if you’re in the fairy land or something. The weather was very cooling that day compare to the day before. We were expecting it to turn hotter around 1pm but still the same. See the photos below… WOW!


Must take photo as memory before going down. See the view behind us? Couldn’t even see the field at the back. The visibility was so low.

That’s the end of my Borneo Highlands trip report. My conclusion, it’s a nice place to escape. The resort is small and this makes the staffs able to give you more personal attention, make you feel comfortable, and they treat you just like their friends instead of a customer. They are very helpful too. Food tastes good. Compare with those vegetarian food out there, out there sucks. The environment is great except hahaha… Maybe the washing closet and no attached shower but I don’t really mind. Price wise, on the normal days without promotion are a wee bit too high for many people. Other than that, I’m quite happy with it.

Oh, we didn’t have enough time to get a massage/facial. They start from RM80 and above and the shortest duration is 30 minutes depending on which massage/facial you are getting. It will be charged into your room.

By the way, the videos are up in You Tube. I will post them here when I’m free. I think you are overloaded with the trip report already hahahah…

I still have a lot of photos unrelease ;P I will blog again about it when I have nothing to blog. It’s too pretty that’s why must share them with you. Not to forget our camwhore photos too;p

Mind you, this trip is fully beared by ourselves, Borneo Highlands isn’t paying us anything for this review. As for the offer, I had finalised with them. Too bad it’s only applicable for a group of 10 people or more and I must go too else you won’t be able to get that offer. I don’t think I can go again this year since I have other things lining up. I have to let the offer go and sorry to all of you that looking forward to the offer. Too bad… Don’t worry, there will be another offer in August. I will update you on it by then.

Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara

Let me get this straight! This is not an advert! I’m not paid to blog for this.

I started to wear Maybelline Unstoppable Mascare since last year end. I had taken photos of it when I reached home after bought them from Watsons but strangely I couldn’t find them anywhere hmm… so I had to look for photos from the Internet.

Maybelline claimed that this mascara can lengthen your eyelashes as much as 50%, and it’s smudge-proof. Many girls sure wish to have lengthy eyelashes, they go all way to get it such as getting eyelashes extension, fake lashes or using mascara to achieve the effect. I’m not that crazy about the length of eyelashes however I cannot deny that long eyelashes with nice curve are pretty. The most important thing for me is smudge-proof.

Carol applied this mascara for me last year for my photo shoots at Alvin’s. Black color was used. Amazingly… It didn’t smudge at all after the mid-day shoot in the studio and after one whole afternoon under the hot sun. I was sweating profusely and the makeup melted but I didn’t get panda eyes at the end of the day even though had it on since the morning! Cool! From then on, I told myself to get this mascara when my old one finished or when it’s time to chuck away.

I don’t always apply mascara unless I need to attend functions or meeting clients(only when I have enough time to get ready before meeting them) else they are bare. I don’t use eyelash curler, usually I only apply 1 coat of mascara, sometimes 2, depends on my mood.


I applied 1 coat in this photo. So… Does Unstoppable lengthen my eyelashes? From the photos… It seems no difference. What do you think?


How about this? Seems lengthened a bit but not 50%. However, I was surprised by the curling effect. I didn’t expect it to curl my eyelashes but it did! Without eyelash curler summore!! Oh… It’s dark brown mascara instead of black. I’ve been using it for quite sometimes now and I dare to say that IT IS REALLY SMUDGE PROOF!!!

Possessed

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Possessed

This is the first and the last movie of 2006 that I had watched. Yes! My first and my last for 2006, you didn’t read it wrongly. I’m not into movie and not even watching pirated DVDs or VCDs at home.

Got these tickets from someone. Thank you. 🙂 Obviously, I’m going to review this movie today. The tickets’ photo was taken last week and other photos in this post were taken with my brother’s camera phone, I switched phone with him just for this. Went to watched it this afternoon. Mind you that I’m the person that is not into movies, nor a cinema goer. Therefore, I’m just giving feedback as a viewer that doesn’t understand anything about the movie world. It’s very simple, I’m the person that will complain when it’s bad, will compliment when it’s good but will not say anything when it’s just so-so.


Language: Cantonese and a bit of English.
Duration: One and half hour (approximately)
Casts:
Amber Chia, Harisu, Alan Yun, Steve Yap, Smyth Wong, Liu Yan Yan(from china), Sharifah Amani, Monolet(from Philippines).

Summary of the movie:
It’s about Amber (cast by Amber Chia, our very own supermodel) and Li Su (cast by Harisu, a Korean transsexual actress-singer). They are sisters and work as models. Amber lost her memory while Li Su went missing. Amber tried to gain back her memory at the same time she’s seeing “thing”. The “thing” is actually her sister, Li Su. I’m bad in narrating a story/movie. Let’s go directly to the end. Everything unfolds at the end. Amber had killed Li Su because of jealousy. As simple as that. The end!


The audiences:
SUCKS! Same as The Legend of the Red Curse. Why they can keep quite while watching other movies but they can’t shut up for this movie? They talked, talked, talked and talked all tru’ the movie. I’m sure if they are watching other movies, they won’t dare to do that else they would get scolded by people summore I’m sure they won’t even like it themsleves. Hate it!

Mobile phones ringing here and there, answered the phone and talked like no body business. These attitudes sucks! Also, please don’t comment while watching! Why can’t you people shut up and keep the comments till outside the cineplex? Fine! If you want to comment, can’t you lower your voice? The atmosphere is as noisy as what you can get in Kopitiams. Imagine that!

Why I prefer to watch it in the afternoon? I want to avoid these kind of people after what I had encountered when watching Red Curse last time at night, full house summore! I was hoping that only few people would watch it in the afternoon during working hours but argggggg… It’s school holidays now! So, there were many people watching in the afternoon too.


My comments:
It’s way much better than The Legend of The Red Curse in terms of skills and quality. However, there are still loads to brush up. Such as… Hmm… I don’t know. Told you I’m not into movies. Just feel that it needs to brush up. Still have a lot to learn. At least it’s not that hopeless as the previous movie.

One of the parts that I don’t like is that they are trying too hard to introduce Kuching. Too many sccenes taking from on top of Medan Pelita. Hmmm… Maybe they should take views from different angles rather than all from up there. It looks pretty desperate.

The obsessed fan of Amber was damn funny. *LOL* I just couldn’t help it. I’m sure many agreed. I don’t know what is wrong with this part, it’s supposed to scare us, fill us with much suspense but… *LOL*

The horror scenes… They all looked pretty familiar. Had I seen them somewhere? Hahahaha… I used to watch a lot of horror movies at the cinema years back. Some how I’m not into them anymore now. That explains why I don’t visit the cinema too now.

This movie will not give you any nightmares, at least for me.

My last say to this movie is “keep working and learning. You’ll get it right one day”. Oh, here’s the official website of Possessed

There you go… My review of my first and last movie of 2006!

Review It!
