Elizabeth Arden Intervene Stress Recovery Night Cream

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Elizabeth Arden Intervene Stress Recovery Night Cream

I managed to get hold of a sample tube of Elizabeth Arden Intervene Stress Recovery Night Cream.

BEAUTY WINNER: Best Night Cream – SELF HEALTHY BEAUTY AWARD WINNER 2009

Nighttime is the best time to INTERVENE. This lightweight, intensive moisturizer with Biodorminâ„¢ technology and a youth preserving complex revitalizes the look of skin while you sleep.

Works continuously throughout the night to help skin recover from daytime assaults and defend against the visible effects of stress on the skin.
Wake up to skin that looks younger, relaxed, revitalized and radiant.

I was told I only need to use very little, spread a thin layer over the face after toner at night. It absorb so quickly, the skin was so nice to touch. However, it’s not moisturising enough for me to use it alone. I would end up with oily skin few hours later or in the morning. So I will top it with my normal moisturizer after using it.

The effect was amazing. I woke up with soft and supple skin. However, it’s pretty expensive (almost RM200 if I’m not mistaken) for me. I don’t use such expensive skincare product. Since, it’s not moisturizing enough for me so I wouldn’t consider in getting it even though the effect was as promised. At the end, it’s still the money that counts *LOL*

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

Please Stop!

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Please Stop!

GOSH! Time is flying sooooooo fast! Please stop!! I’ve been spending my time in the computer pool these days a lot, way beyond my usual time. Usually I would head back before 6pm, now I’ll stay till after 6pm, these two days, I stayed till after 9.30pm just to try to work on my assignment which I should complete within this week because I need to start preparing for exam next week, no exam break some more. Exam will be around mid September. I’m not the last minute type, I need at least 2 weeks to prepare for exam. It felt like I had just started my second study period(back in July) and now it’s ending! Then, after exam, no holiday, it’s a new study period again.

I know I won’t be doing much of my assignment at home, so I forced myself to stay back in the computer pool to work on it. Besides, there’s nothing to look forward to when going home unlike last time and will only feel sorry for myself. Soooo pathetic. Not asking for more, all I want is to head home to have someone to look forward to or at least a phone call to wait. Sigh… So used to have someone around whenever I need ever since I’m here, now I’m alone again… Trying to realign my life and realized that how narrow my social circle here is. In the process of trying to expand it by trying to get myself involve in as many things as possible. Even when I’m not busy, I pretend to be busy. That’s so pathetic don’t you think?

My meal time is screwed too. Well… That’s because I went there after work (work ended after 2.30pm), had my lunch in the computer pool at around 3.30pm. Then, when reached home, it’s almost 10pm, after cooking, eating, watching a bit of TV to relax and showered, it’s already 12am.

Skin condition isn’t that great too, tiny little pimples are popping up here and there. Sigh… It’s not an easy study period and coupled with some personal problems, it’s making it worst. Even though I do have two friends (suffering same problem as I do ;p) who can share my ups and downs with, still some of the things still need time.

Today is the graduation day of uni. It got me thinking whether I should apply for tourist visa after my study so that I can attend the graduation. This will mean I will get to stay till October 2012, if I calculate it correctly hahaha… I missed my bachelor degree’s graduation, I’m not sure I want to miss my post graduate’s. Some more, this is different because it’s not in Malaysia. Also, I’m not sure whether should I go on to do another 4 subjects to get a Master because of one subject, that’s accounting! Things will be easier if it’s not for moolah issue ;p

Anyway, I must head to bed now. Been sleeping at around 1am these days and wake up around 8am but will sleep back until 10am when there’s no class to attend -.-” Bad, bad, bad… Oh well… Only during Fridays and Saturdays because these are the days I have no classes and work.

Enjoy the weekend everyone! I’ll be just at home slaving away to do my assignment.

Ba Guo Bu Yi

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Ba Guo Bu Yi

This happened early in August, before we girls had our girls night. We went to Chinatown for dinner. They suggested to go to Ba Guo Bu Yi (located at 98 Gouger St). I got no clue what’s that, I just followed them ;p


It’s a restaurant. Looked like need to pay a lot for it. *GULP* My first Szechuan cuisine in Adelaide.


Left: The pickle, spicy, salty, and sweet. It’s there on the table.

Right: Boiled Pork Slices with Garlic Paste (AUD14.80), it’s spicy but not that spicy for me. Then again those who can’t stand spiciness, then it’s another story.


Left: Dried Beancurd Dice with Spicy Sauce (AUD5.80), it’s even spicier but I love it! It’s quite oily though, due to the chili oil, still I just couldn’t stop eating them!

Right: Sauteed Shreeded Pork with Spricy Garlic Sauce (AUD14.80), this wasn’t spicy at all, strange… Or is it because the previous dishes were all spicy enough and couldn’t taste any spiciness in this? I tasted it as sweet and salty. No hint of spicy.

Overall, the food was good. Environment not bad. No complain. The bill of the night including white rice and a bottle of drink, it was AUD42+ for 3 girls. We almost cleared the plates ;p I wanted to dig more into the beancurd dish but they took it away hehehe…

UniSA Open Day 2011

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on UniSA Open Day 2011

The weather is sooooo good today! It’s the UniSA Open Day 2011, happening at City West campus. I had signed up to be a volunteer for this event. In the morning I volunteered for the uni and in the afternoon I volunteered for Unilife. Both were great! It was fun. In case you’ve been wondering where on earth I am studying now in Adelaide, this is it! 😉


Left: A photo of me before heading out there. I was given the task to provide direction to visitors. I really enjoyed it. I wish I could help until the end of the event but I had signed up for the other volunteer task in the afternoon with Unilife (a change of t-shirt from blue to yellow and just realized that I didn’t take a photo of me in it ;p).

Right: The welcome booth, I was around this area. Since this was where most people came in and started to locate their destinations, I was practically running around from one person/group to another to help them with the direction. Only one directional staff available at each location. Time flies so fast and it was the end of my shift in the morning.

The following is all the photos I had taken after the end of my shift before starting another shift.



Booths around city west campus.


This is the most interesting booth ;p I saw students from civil aviation and their instructors having coffee break around the area I was working. GOSH! They’re all so handsome and pretty!

Visitors even got to experience flight simulator. Too bad I didn’t get the chance to try it out.


There’s fun activities going on too. I missed the red bull girls!! I thought I would be able to get a can today but I was in the toilet when they were at our booth! Too bad…

It’s a very fun and fulfilling day! This is my first and my last, won’t be here anymore next year to assist in this event unless I continue to do few more subjects to get a master (now, I’m doing graduate diploma, people would go… huh? Let’s put this this way, you can consider it as pre-master, add on 4 more subjects and you’ll get a master degree) hehehe… We’ll see…

Pho Ba Ria 2

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Pho Ba Ria 2

Had Vietnamese food again! Went there for a very late lunch after church.


Pho Ba Ria 2 is located on Hanson Road. Many said that you must try the smoothie especially durian smoothie (AUD3.50)! I don’t think you can find durian smoothie in Malaysia but you can find them in Australia in Vietnamese eateries. It’s real durian! I didn’t dare to try because it can smell unpleasant to people after that especially if you’re not in Asia hahaha… Reminded me someone had durian in the computer pool in uni before -.-” Stunk the whole place!



Sugar cane prawn rolls (AUD13), we ordered the unwrapped rolls so that we could wrap it ourselves. What an experience. You need to dip the sheet into hot water to soften it, then place the ingredients on the sheet and roll! Not easy. Don’t forget to drizzle it with the chili sauce.

The sugar can prawn is quite nice. No more taste for the sugar cane because the flavour is already infused into the prawn. Very tasty dish. I like it.


Broken Rice Combination (small, AUD9.50) with peanut sauce. In fact, we had the peanut sauce with the rolls, it was nice too. YUMMY! Everything was nice, the meat you see here is pork. If not mistaken, you have to mix the peanut sauce with the rice but we didn’t. It’s still good.


Left: Fresh and cooked beef (small, AUD9).

Right: This should be Laksa Spicy Thai Noodle Soup (small, AUD9). Hmm… I don’t understand why my friend ordered Thai noodle here! *LOL*

There you go… My second Vietnamese food experience. I’m getting a hang of Vietnamese food! Oh dear… Gonna miss it when I’m home for sure.
