you can read her version of post in her blog but here’s a little of what I took with my camera! =D.

but because we were all busy filming T_T we didn’t have too much time to take pictures. =(.

IMG_4940 copy

I was one of the earliest so I got my hair and make up done first! I guess it’s really my first time having my make up done by professionals. but maybe because I haven’t found the right type of make up/haven’t gotten use to the make up yet I felt I look a little weird hahaha.

IMG_4935 copy

this is Ginny! she was in the Hada Labo advertisement! not the one now but she was one of the Hada Labo girls!

IMG_4943 copy

Cheesie and Jin Yen!

IMG_4954 copy

Ginny always pose with that serious face so I thought I’d imitate her for once hehe.

IMG_4968 copy

Cheesie and her favourite Pastel coloured lolli =D. I really wanted to try the lolli but am too afraid of getting any fatter U______U. so it’s still now in my room for decoration haha.

IMG_4970 copy

Jin Yen have the hugest eyes I’ve ever seen. literally the hugest. we compared our eyes. I had RING CONTACTS ON but there wasn’t much difference between our iris’.

IMG_4964 copy

I really like Ginny’s hair! so Victoria Secret. right?

IMG_4994 copy

being photobombed hahaha.

IMG_4982 copy

IMG_5042 copy

then we had our bright lipstick on alongside with bunny ears!

IMG_5007 copy

mr hairstylist said that just to finish my hair, he can finish the other 4 girl’s hair already. U_U. my hair was the biggest challenge. I came back pulling out around 30 hairpins that he used to make my hair LOOK shorter.

IMG_5047 copy

the famous Henry Golding and us! he is realllly good looking eventhough I do not fancy guys from the west but yesss, really good looking!

(I personally prefer oriental looking guys and Ginny would call me bad taste pfft.)

IMG_5056 copy

notice how my hair is shorter than usual? final picture with Ringo before we all had to drive home in an exhausted state. but it was a really fun experience!

an here’s some pictures from Ringo!

her iPhone has some really awesome app!! that’s Shannon in green! =D.

silly faces hahahaha. and NOT EVERYONE CAN DO THAT EYEBROW THING!!

all of us with Ringo, the host =D.

to be honest I am very reluctant to show you this video because it’s really my first time on videos and I’m toooooo myself. as in, I smile stupidly everytime and laugh a lot pfft. but since it’s already on Cheeserland.com and everyone have seen it. I shall post it here too =S.

enjoy!

one of the BEST BAKUTEH in Klang!

January 19th, 2012

I really have no idea which is the correct spelling.

bak kut teh?

bukuteh?

bahkuteh?

whatever it is, IT’S STILL DELICIOUS. for a Cheras girl like me, travelling all the way down Klang IS A HASSLE. so to you other people who seldom make it to Klang, let me introduce you (my uncle said it’s one of the best and judging by how crowded it is I guess he’s right!) one of the most delicious Bakuteh in Klang.

IMG_4886 copy

the shop’s name is Restoran Kee Heong. [map at the end of the post]

IMG_4888 copy

for you foreigners who might not know what Bakuteh is, Bakuteh is actually a type of pork stew in herbal soup originated from Klang, Malaysia by the Hokkien Chinese people(I may be wrong but this is all I know). so, HERBAL SOUP? sounds disgusting. it ain’t bitter? NO. in fact, very sweet because of the pork.

and it has became so famous among us Malaysians, it’s sold almost everywhere here. so please don’t doubt it’s flavour; it’s the best pork creation to me! (I believe, to many others too.)

IMG_4890 copy

12 choices of dish to choose from. sadly, they do not serve pork tendon which I love the most. some shabby Bakuteh shops in KL serves them and it’s absolutely the best.

IMG_4901 copy

huge pork bone, some ribs and yau char kuai.

pause.

why is yaucharkuai called yaucharkuai anyway? it litereally translates into oil fry ghost. HMM? truthfully, it isn’t that great to me but my whole family lovessss dipping it in the Bakuteh soup. is it just me?

anyway I love it here because they are not stingy over their delicious soup. best thing is YOU CAN REQUEST FOR EXTRA SOUP!!! *salivates*

IMG_4893 copy

the first time trying DRY BAKUTEH!

it’s delicious.

those ladies finger is a bomb. just that I don’t understand why it’s called Dry Bakuteh when it doesn’t taste like Bakuteh at all. pfft. more like stir fried pork in awesome black sauce.

IMG_4896 copy

finally, THE TRADITIONAL BAKUTEH! to tell the truth, it only tastes A BITTTTTTTT better than the famous ones in KL because to me, ALL BAKUTEHS ARE AWESOME!!! (just not those in the foodcourt, okay?) INCLUDING MY DADS! oh well, I guess it’s really just me not being picky on Bakuteh.

EAT ALL THE BAKUTEH! *that pink shirt meme*

IMG_4898 copy

how I look when I woke up from the long hour drive. pfft. habit of sleeping in the car whenever I sit behind haha.

here’s the map! hopefully you can find it too hehe.

Ochado @ Pavilion

January 16th, 2012

the huge Chatime opened outside Lot 10 but the one in Pavilion is still going to take 30minutes for you to get your drink. so, the alternative is OCHADO, the one located at Tokyo Street. of course, they all have a queue. but it only took us roughly 5minutes for all the queuing up and waiting for the drink. much better, no?

IMG_5103 copy

to be honest, this is actually my first time having Ochado and I was really curious on how different it might taste since it have a very similar concept with my favourite Chatime.

IMG_5104 copy

here’s a chart of the top 10 drinks of Ochado where me and my sister got Oreo Chocolate and Roasted Tea with Azuki Beans (red beans, actually. they had to make it sound more jap haha) and Pearls.

IMG_5107 copy

the others ordered others like the Grape Yoghurt Aloe Vera Tea and the Okinawa Matcha Milk Tea. I was quite attracted to the Pop Egg Milk Tea actually, where coffee actually fills the brownish black eggs. but to my disappointment, I’m allergic to caffeine and it was already sold out on that day.

the Oreo one was pretty good as it’s ice blended but it sure did give me brain freezes every time I take a big gulp. I also took a sip of the Grape Yoghurt one. it’s definitely a girls drink. love the aloe. but Jeffro commented it wasn’t too.. Yoghurty.

but two of my friends whom had ordered the Okinawa Matcha hated it. =S. so I guess for those who likes matcha with red beans, stick with Chatime.

IMG_5112 copy

as for myself, I liked this Milk Tea which also, I believe, contain a minimal amount of caffeine. this drink is awesome but never order large because you’ll eventually get sick of it. it’s like eating too much of those thick creamy cheesecake.

IMG_5113 copy3

it’s not Chinese New Year yet, I CAN STILL WEAR BLACK. hahahaha. and it was just a few more gulps after what you can see above until I can’t drink anymore of it. regret for ordering large!

IMG_5100 copy

verdict : it’s pretty good but I prefer Chatime (I love their Uji Matcha and Choco Mousse! while many other’s aren’t exactly worth the price.) over it for taste. but if you hate waiting, Ochado is where you should head to for a cup of wonderful refreshing drink in this hot Malaysian weather.

IMG_5063 copy

this seemingly 1km long dragon is the main reason why we went to Pavilion for. it’s indeed a view. super worthy. if you’re in KL, no harm to go take a look and get amazed by it right? =D.

IMG_5080 copy

the upskirt uplantern view!

IMG_5132 copy

we went over to Sungei Wang for dinner and went back to Pavilion roughly 30minutes after when Jay Chou is SUPPOSED to be there (him and the director of Viral Factor for their promo?). so every floor was flooded with Jay Chou fans and we had to go over to the top level to get a comfortable space to see. and AFTER ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR.. he finally came out and stood there for about 15minutes saying words that might not even sum up to 1 minute. while waiting for him there were fans that went on stage to sing where one was actually pretty good. but Jay did not even sing! =(. wasted my time waiting for 30minutes. pfft.

IMG_5135 copy

since his movie is done, why did he even keep his ugly moustache! but his fans are really really really mad. hahaha. and Happy Birthday to him in 2 more days! 18th January. =D.

How to SCREENSHOT on Andriod! NO APPS REQUIRED.

January 16th, 2012

HELLO ALL! I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU ANDROID USERS! (don’t know about other phones but works well on HTC phones running Gingerbread.)

I have been figuring this out for a long time and google didn’t answer me the last time I tried to look for it (without having to root my phone).

you don’t have to root your phone to be able to download funny apps that might not even work.

IMG_5138 copy

so how?

SIMPLE.

IMG_5139 copy

just hold the “on/off” button and then tap on “home” and VOILA!

ps : it’s impossible to do it with one hand. just showing you where to press hahaha.

IMG_5141 copy

done!!!

simply right? NOW TRY IT!

credits go to Sebastian for accidentally doing it and found out about it. hahaha.

FOR FROYO USERS : I also read somewhere a while ago that you can screenshot by holding on your home button and then the back button. good luck!

IMG_4960 copy

a picture from Sloggi’s Slumber Party hosted by Cheesie last Friday! more to come.

Liese Bubble Hair Dye : Chiffon Beige

January 12th, 2012

eventhough each time I try a different colour, I tend to get disappointed in the end because my hair was straightened before but the thing that bothers me is, EVEN THE GROWING VIRGIN HAIR COULDN’T BE DYED!

IMG_4929 copy

Prettia/Liese in Chiffon Beige.

the last time, I was told by the sales girl that Milk Tea brown is the lightest colour. it is definitely a nice colour and it slightly tinted my hair.

so this time, I wanted to believe my own eyes for an even lighter colour. so Chiffon Beige it is!

IMG_4721 copy

and that’s a North Korean bear. hahaha.

this is how milktea brown look under the sun. not really visible.

IMG_3779 copy

another picture. as you can see, my black roots are growing since the last time I dyed was 6 months ago.

IMG_4905 copy

but Chiffon Beige did not let me down. it’s pretty visible. but of course, it’s not as light as the one on the mode on the box. maybe 2 shades darker.

IMG_4913 copy

it’s much lighter directly under the sun though ^^.

IMG_4919 copy

read my review on Liese Marshmallow Brown HERE!

here’s a very old picture of mee and Yee Cow. look at how dark my hair was. hahahaha. so dark, even with flash, not a bit of brown was showed!

Myeongdong 명동

January 9th, 2012

even if you’re not planning to visit Korea anytime soon, I suggest you to read this post because it’s interesting like that! it was a little bit of a culture shock actually.

there is no direction needed to get you to Myeongdong because it’s just so popular, nobody would get lost going to this place. after getting off Myeongdong station, you’ll find your way. but you might get lost if you wanna find the same shop twice.

IMG_3562 copy

since I lived in Myeongdong at that time, I come here EVERYDAY. it’s fun because there are a lot of stalls at night selling things at a reasonable price. there was this shop selling super adorable socks. regret for not taking pictures of that stalls. and their socks begins from as low as 1,000won!

cute bear socks

my cute bear socks! wore it once hahaha. cute ain’t it? it has ears too!

IMG_3559 copy

the typical view of Myeongdong.

IMG_3561 copy

this place kind of reminds me of Hong Kong. and I am shocked to find that the lanes are actually not THAT wide. it seemed so wide in the drama “You’re Beautiful” haha. but it is indeed crowded and filled with tourists.

IMG_3572 copy

Korean designers are amazing. all the way to the glass!

IMG_3566 copy

the night before me and my mom marveled around Myeongdong when all shops were closed. so what’s there to see when all the shops are closed? well, they spend the whole night decorating their shops with christmas decos!

IMG_3571 copy

if you like Forever 21, this will be your heaven. never seen such a huge Forever 21 before. and their sale is madness. something like.. buy 1 free 1?

IMG_3568 copy

I have to salute to their marketing strategies because they do not only have a good packaging and a handsome artist as their ambassador.. they make beautiful bags, limited stuff, make up as gifts if you buy products from their shop. tempting you like mad. vert smart.

IMG_3573 copy

entrance to a casual cafe. so pretty yet so common in Seoul. I’ve always told my sister that if we were to take the most stylish cafe/restaurant to Korea, it would probably just be a normal looking one there.

IMG_3577 copy

awesome fire engine is awesome!

IMG_3578 copy

just another casual picture of Myeongdong at night.. wait what?

didn’t we see that red banner in the picture earlier too?

IMG_3578 copy1

and that’s a picture of fire below those words.

it was really loud and that guy was literally shouting on his microphone saying LORD JESUS HEAVEN, NO JESUS HELL. maybe security was chasing them, they moved really fast. it felt something like a demostration. except it wasn’t political. it was really quite offensive.

yes, I was offended. they did it in public and they DO NOT respect other religions. no offense to Christians, but this is just wrong. to my surprise, Natalie told me these are not unusual and they often speak out their thoughts and does all kind of demonstrations in Myeongdong. D=. basically, Myeongdong is a popular place for demonstrations.

pictures below taken with my mom’s Sony which is now gone T_T.

DSC03137 copy

furry store selling furry stuff. furry hats, tails.. tails to hang on your bag. hahahaha.

DSC03139 copy

if you’re a foreigner and you forgot to bring cotton. no worries. they give free boxes of cotton. you don’t even have to buy anything. all you need to do is take a strool in their shop. but as usual, their stuff are just too attractive to not buy T_T. well at least you get a free box of cotton with cheap products =D.

the price of Korean beauty products in Korea are around 40-50% cheaper than the ones sold here!

DSC03144 copy

Holika Holika branded by CN Blue, Mishha, and another Missha. Missha have awesome eyebrow pencils. they only cost 2,000won. they are selling the same thing here for RM18 I think. for what you can get for RM6 in Korea!

DSC03140 copy

mom’s spying level : ASIAN.

she told me she took this picture just to show me that handsome Korean guy which she thought was SUPERRRR handsome. okaaaaaaaaaaaay lah. hahahahahaha.

DSC03149 copy

all I see is JYJ and 2PM! didn’t go into the store because their pictures are huger outside. HAHAHAHHA.

DSC03141 copy

Etude House! probably every girly girls favourite christmas decoration!

DSC03138 copy

just so you know, the main street is long, beautiful and all.. but then..

DSC03148 copy

the more interesting/cheaper stuff are all in the smaller lanes. and there’s where you’d never get to find the same shop twice. it’s a maze. A MAZE!

saying this because I found an awesome stationery shop (two side by side! awesomeness) the first time I was in Myeongdong and I wanted to get more stationeries before I leave. I was looking for it for about 2 FRIGGIN’ HOURS! and in the end, I still couldn’t find it. RAWR!

that stationery shop sells things like keyboards, hair accessories to loads of things you don’t need before you see it. teehee. =3.
