Found mai moneh!!!

HOMGGGG I FOUND MY $1000 (usd 760)!!!!!!!!

So a year or so ago I exchanged $1000 sgd into USD currency when the dollar was dipped really low. Unfortunately for me, it was a wrong investment as the dollar only continued dropping. And at this very moment of typing, I have lost usd58 (sgd70) of money value.

But that aside, what made me really upset was how in the midst of my Chinese new year spring cleaning, I shifted the money from its usual place and then clean FORGOT WHERE I FREAKIN PLACED IT!

I've tried looking for it a couple of times in my usual money storage areas with no results and a lot of heartache.

The last time I searched was in June.

And so if you follow TheCosplayChronicles' Facebook page , you would know I was thinking of giving some of my lashes away. I'm thinking of maybe giving 3 different pairs of lashes away. And because the lashes used to be part of a box of ten, I had no box to contain them if I give them away.

I ventured on to make a box but it was kind fail -.- so I gave up and went to dig my cupboards for a nice gift box to contain the lashes. And then I found this lucky clover box that used to hold a 4 leaf clover charm from Maria. AND THE MONEY IS INSIDE !!!!! I don't even remember how/ when I put it in ! But I'm so glad my "nice deed" inevitably found me my money.

Lol random happiness xD

It's time for durians !!!

The season is back !

Honestly I'm never one to care until recently xD

Ganbatte !

What do you do when your best is not enough?

I feel like I'm suffering the consequences of biting more than I can chew. But if life dishes the opportunity out, should I wait for a better time before I grab it? Or should I grab it before it's gone?

It's a dilemma, I know.

I just wish people around me can understand and support my decisions more. Maybe I'm asking for too much again....

Sydney and back! My loots!!

This blog is so abandoned...

Anyway i'm back from a 11 days trip to Sydney Australia! It was my first trip to an "Ang Moh" country and I've never felt more stressed about a trip before. I'm glad everything turned out well xD

Here are most of my loots from Australia!

Everything was so expensive that I only dare buy from Kmart, Target and Reject shops. But I'm glad I got some really nice bargains xD


I bought these 2 eyelash case for AUD$2.5 at a reject shop! While they are too space consuming for my liking. I'm in love with it's uber cute design and have long been contemplating getting something to store multiple lashes when I travel. Each box holds 3 pairs of lashes.







Also bought this gold brown weekender bag from Target ( or was it K Mart?). Ever since I saw a hotel mate using one of these, I've been wanting one. Mainly love it for its ample storage space and ability to house my ELF palette. But now that I have tested it out, it seems a little too big =_=;  I kinda regret getting this design though, should have gotten the shocking pink and black one instead.

I lugged a big stash of Red Rock Deli chips back with no regrets! And my favorite flavor has got to be Honey Soy Chicken. It was finger licking good *_* A little salty and intense for people who doesn't like MSG in their chips but for me it's like "BRING IT ON!".

Shall randomly end this loot entry! Bye! 

Review : Hada labo moisturiser

Product name : Hada labo moisturiser
Price : $20+
Bought from : Watsons
Rating : 4/5

I love the range for its highly moisturising properties and non irritant effect. I started with their highly popular toner and serum and found both to be very soothing even when my face was going through an allergy reaction and terribly disturbed. In fact, my skin had no reaction to it at all.

This cream is no different. Not irritating and no fragrance. I especially love it's gel like texture. It's opaque white and feels more like some water gel than cream.

It is absobed fairly well but tends to be a little sticky. I'm not sure does that mean my skin hasn't absorbed it yet or?

To conclude, this product is very hydrating and suitable for sensitive dry skin that doesn't like creams.

More skin care hauls!

Arghhhh I keep buying these stuffs. Well I guess in my defence, I keep buying then because they are a necessity. I use then every day and night so it make sense for me to buy more during sales and store right >.<

And more shoes again T. T I was only waning to buy new everyday flats but the black school shoes was going at $9:90. I really wish they were brown
though ... Spray ?

Hauls and life update !

Phew exactly what am I doing these days ?! I just always feel so tired, unproductive and busy ! Not a good combination >.<

Oh yes, I feel poor too :(

Australia SMASH trip is coming up soon. It's my first trip to a Caucasian country and it's freakin me out >.< I think I need to fork out a minimum of $2000 for spending alone T. T

On a lighter note , it's my birthday tomorrow ! And I had one of the most awesome celebration last Saturday. I hate hosting and hence I haven't had a birthday party for a long time. Partly also because I feel bad for ( i assume) putting my friends in a situation I assume they will feel uncomfortable in. Anyway a joke from a friend recently made me realise I must do more to stay in contact with all the awesome people I've come to know so… party there is !

My dress is a combination of a inner spaghetti dress and a cardigan. Bought them cheap from Taiwan ! Yes I love flora , beige pastel- ish clothes xD liz Lisa !

I also bought skin care and shoes recently. I don't know why I bother buying heels since I never wear them =_=

And I finally bought the big retractable brush I've been thinking about. The quality is really awesome for the price !! I can barely feel the hair on my face xD

Need to write individual entry for all these skincare stuffs ...

And blah I always feel bad whenever I walk pass someone giving out flyer ...,,

Incoherent post is incoherent.

TheFaceShop hauls (Arsainte series etc)

Actually I think I bought these early May. What happened in between ?!? So busy!

I bought like $100 worth of TFS skincare product to get their membership and promotional freebie. But Of course I like their products too la xD

Basically I retuned and bought their Arsainte ideal essence , Arsainte daily moisturiser, Gel sunscreen and Damange Coating Essence for my hair.

The promotional freebie was a travel size set of Arsainte Eco Therapy products. I'm pretty fond of this series for its moisturising properties and they don't break me out. I should really try to do a review soon but I just suck at observing difference unless they are super drastic.

Kinda mweh at the fact that they deliberately skimmed on the more expensive product (essential cream).

Review: Arsainte ECO-THERAPY ideal essence

Product name : Arsainte ECO-THERAPY ideal essence
Price : $38.90
Bought from : TheFaceShop
Rating : 4/5

Pros: deep hydrating without being overly greasy

Cons: slightly pricey and fragranced.

I first chanced upon this product as a trial sachet. Can't remember where I got it , but my first impression was mixed. My skin was experiencing a comeback of a weird allergy reaction during that period and was itchy, dry and sensitive. By dry I mean I can only use creams to stall the unwanted drying sensation. Not good.

Almost as soon as the essence touched my skin I knew it would work. It has an instantly hydrating effect and is absorbed easily. Depending on the amount you use, it can leave a slightly sticky residue but the hydrating effect was enough for me to look beyond that.

The essence is clear , relatively runny with a slight fragrance.

I'm not a fan of fragrance but I'm glad to say it did not bother my skin much (no redness or rash) even though my skin was in a terribly sensitive state. My first experience with it though , did break out my skin.

A few months on and my skin still hasn't found an affordable product to pump moisture into it so I decided to give the product another go.

I have since bought my 2nd bottle and signed up for TheFaceShop's membership. My skin has since recovered from the allergy but it is still a dry combination skin. Unless my skin changes or I find something better, I think I'll be sticking to this life saving product !

What I dislike because hate is a strong word.

If someone would ever ask me what I hate most, I'd say I hate people who go on and on about THEMSELVES.

I hate people who expect other people to do things for them. Family members not included.

I hate people who only talks but DON'T LISTEN

I dislike people who think others are below them.

I hate people who only talk but never does anything.

I hate people who talks unobjectively and bias-ly behind a person's back. And then starts talking nicely to them once they 'get to know' the person.

I don't like people who needs to have an opinion on EVERYTHING

I absolutely cry when people recycles the exact same thing (memory/experience/ review/ joke etc) which I have no interest in! To make it really unbearable, they repeat it at least 2 times continuously in one paragraph. Yes, I hear you! You don't have to repeat and repeat and repeat and repeatttttttt

I absolutely cringe when people actually takes my polite replies for real and goes on to praising themselves.

I don't like it when people are absolutely oblivious of the people in their surrounddings.

Don't like it when people don't move in on trains

Don't like it when people rush to get out and tries to push their way through when there is obvious blockage/delay in front.

Am I a bitch for thinking like that? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. But I am a work in process.

Yes, I am in one of my bitchy, frustrated moments. One of those days where small annoying things just like to happen at the same time. My own fault. Blarhhhh.
