Malaysia Travel Fair (MATF) 22-24 Feb 2008

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Malaysia Travel Fair (MATF) 22-24 Feb 2008

It’s been a while not going to exhibitions or trade shows to do coverage. Finally got the chance now but of course we had to pay our own entrance fee. Malaysia Travel Fair (MATF) is scheduled from Feb 22 — 24. It’s held at Permata Exhibition Centre.


I was relunctant to go when I found out that I need to pay RM2 entrance fee to visit the travel fair… Went in… It’s sort of a dissapointment especially if you do not plan to go for any holiday or you want to but you can’t decide in few days times and you are lack of fund for it. 🙁 However, if you are all geared up to make sure you grab the great offers and deals, it can be really a place to go though not many booths still you can grab cheap flight tickets from MAS.


With this wrist band, you can go in and out of the hall freely. We were given some souveniers such as the durian luggage tag with Lat’s comic at the back, also some bookmarks. When you’re in there, there’re lots of brochures to grab, also MASwings postcards.


Some views inside the hall.


I wish I can take those packages on offer such as the cruise but it’s expensive and the departure is in few days time -.-“. Those cheap flight tickets… 🙁 I want too… No money no talk… I still don’t have enough money and even the mood to plan to travel to anywhere yet… Such wrong timing…

The Face Shop – Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu)

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on The Face Shop – Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu)

Ran out of facial cleanser last week, decided to go to The Face Shop at The Spring to buy. I’ve never been to The Face Shop even when I’m in KL therefore I’m not sure about the price range of the products. Initially I wanted to buy from Elianto but my friend told me that the facial cleanser there is very drying. That’s why I went to The Face Shop.

I thought The Face Shop has something to do with The Body Shop, when I went in, they greeted me in Korean, I got kinda shock *LOL* Then I found out their products are from Korea and some from Japan. Things are pretty expensive(for me), to many people it’s actually middle range. I’ve never use products of such price range.

After browsing a while, the sales girl came and assisted me, actually I wanted to leave already after seeing the price but too late… She “caught” me 😛 She introduced me two types of facial cleansers, RM39.90 each. I’ve never use such expensive cleanser ok!?!? The most expensive I’ve used also below RM20. I saw RM35.90 ones hehehe… Thought of settle for that but at the end I settled for the RM39.90 one.


I bought Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu). My first time buying such expensive cleanser…

Here’s what I got from The Face Shop’s website.

Concept
A moisturizing and brightening cleansing line with rice water and Moringa oil. Moringa oil known as ‘purifying tree’ in India has very strong detoxifying quality. People used to put grinded Moringa plant in the polluted river water to detoxify.

Description
Contains rice water(10%) Fit Protein orchid extract Vitamin B5 complex. Its creamy and cushiony texture eases handling and moisturizing ingredients leave skin feeling hydrated after cleansing by minimizing moisture loss.

In fact, I was torned between choosing this and ORGANATURE CLEANSING FOAM – Hydrating Beans, both same price.

The smell is quite nice. I think it smells quite yummy *LOL* Indeed it’s not drying, after washing my face, I felt that my face is soft and clean, it felt different from all the other cleaners I used before. It indeed brighten up my skin, it also make makeup application easier.

Few days in a month, my face can be really sensitive and very dry. After I washed my face, some ithcy red spots would appear just anywhere on my face, it would go away after half to one hour later. There would also be dry spots especially on my nose and cheek.

It happened that I’m using this during the-sensitive-skin-days of the month, amazingly the red spots reduced, they are not itchy, dry spots aren’t obvious too.

Just one draw back, my face is small, usually I don’t have to use much cleanser, usually I only squeezed less than half inches. For this, I need to use a bit more which is between half to one inch to get the foam enough to cover my entire face and neck. However, it’s not really a big deal.

Phew… At least the RM39.90 is worth every cent.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

Frappe

Frappe at Travillion is opened since quite sometimes ago, years back I should say… This is my first time there. Hahaha… Went there to meet up with Joyce from Miri few days before CNY.


The interior, I quite like it.


Iced Violet Lavender (RM5.90), Iced Peach Lemon (RM5.90), Vanilla Frappe (RM7.90). Oh well… Nothing to rave about except Iced Violet Lavender, Iced Peach Lemon is actually just Sprite/7-Up/Soda with lavender or lemon syrup. Charging this price is a bit too expensive.


Left: Carrot Milk (RM6.90).
Right: French Fries that we got using My Privilege Book coupon where we can get either onion ring or fries with any 3 drinks ordered. Guess what!?!?! I’m the only one eating this whole thing. Joyce and her cousin were still full from dinner and Jimmy was having cough…

Shiloh

I’ve bought irenelaw.net hehehe… It will be redirected to irenelaw.com, might do something to irenelaw.net when I got some ideas hahaha… I want to build its PR first since irenelaw.com is a PR3. You are welcome to link me with irenelaw.net 😛

Shiloh is one of the newest addition to the F&B industry in Kuching. Located at Travillion. Went there to have a drink with my friend few weeks back. Just for a drink so not much to blog about except letting you know about this new place and the prices of the food and drinks and very reasonable. If you have My Privilege Book, you can get 15% discount off your total bill.


I like the interior. Very simple. The lighting at the bar area is quite nice.


You can see random bible scriptures around, on the tables, on the world. There’s a karaoke system there but according to them, it’s only available for their church members usage. That explains the bible scriptures in there.

The drinks we ordered. Left is Cappuccino and right is hot tea. I don’t remember the price but the hot tea is below RM3 and Cappuccino is below RM5. The prices stated in the menu and the prices in our bill are different, they might have done adjustments to the pricings and the menu is not updated yet. Of course it’s cheaper than what stated on the menu. As for the food, the pricings are quite reasonable. They serve western food, the most expensive I saw in there was RM23+(if not mistaken). How do they taste? I have no idea but I will find a day to go there again.
