It was scorching HOT. OMGNESS. I think we were 4 shades darker just today at KLPAC. lols. Damn a lot of people.</p>
<p>We went to Lapsap Junkyard Sales after that. Boohoo. Nothing much there. Or at least I miss really shopping for second hand items. Where everything is RM5. I love RM5 pre-loved items. I have many many myself during Bijou Bazaar circa Jerumpa Jeramo times. I miss the first few bazaars. Where everyone really was selling for cheap in line with the bazaar. Instead of everything is now overpriced and all new items or vintage. Vintage is overrated man. sheesh.</p>
<p>owh wells. I love my new picture taken by Louanne! <img src='http://www.cupcakesrock.com/pinkshoes/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Nice eh? I love my pictures in this dress. I love this dress. I want to get one more at Sg Wang. hahaha. I bought this dress at BKK for 250Baht. Got cheated i tell you. hahaha. Cos Sg Wang is selling for RM19.90!!</p>
<p>Owh wells. Should not complain. I also love Sg Wang for cheap dresses and clothes! hahaha.</p>
<p>My mum, bro and I went to the Isetan Card Member sale on Saturday. Managed to get a red tartan spag top from Padini, RM30 and a clutch bag from Eclipse for RM49. My mum thinks it looks like a table cloth. But I needed a red tee for CNY mar. lols. Plus I could not find any nice red dress from Isetan. Either too mahal, doesn&#8217;t fit, ugly prints or I&#8217;m too lazy to try.. hahaha.</p>
<p>The night on Saturday, we went for my cousin, Nat&#8217;s 21st birthday.  It was held at Berjaya Golf Club at Bukit Jalil. I used to hang with her so much when we were little. I guess time made us grow apart and now we hardly even have anything in common. lols. Maybe we just haven&#8217;t been talking. but owh wells. Happy 21st. We used to play masak masak together all the time. hahaha. I remember times when I went to her house in Old Klang Road and we used to play by her house. took leaves and such and cooked. Played house house and all. hahaha.Owh, when she came to my house, I remember we used to play shopping shopping. We&#8217;d buy imaginary stuff and I&#8217;d be the cashier to check out the items. lols! fun times&#8230;.</p>
<p>Wonder why we always say masak masak and doctor doctor and house house or shopping shopping.</p>
<p>On Saturday, we took one of those rare to come by cousins photo. Lookie:</p>

<p>Everyone was looking everywhere because there were like a million cameras. .Jasmine, Eddie Boy and Raymond were not there. If not it will be complete.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Anyways, here are a few more shots. most photos were like, blurgh. Not nice once. Cos it was too dark and I hate flash! hahaha. I need a DSLR, thank you very much!</p>

<h1><span style="color: #ff0099;">On Langkawi</span></h1>
<p>So, we&#8217;re finally going to Langkawi, confirm-firm. Got our tickets for so MAHAL!!!! gosh. but what to do. We&#8217;re going on a weekend. So will be mahal. Plus I think its a holiday weekend. even worst. Nevermind, nevermind&#8230; For the sake of cheap booze and beach, we will pay. wtf.</p>
<p>We were stumped on hotels/hostels/motels. As Berjaya Langkawi was fully booked. Bummer, no free hotel. We searched high and low for the perfect budget motel. We were broke by the time we finished paying for flight. hahaha. The famous one Zakry&#8217;s Hostel was fully booked. Second bummer.  So, we settled for <a href="http://www.backpackingmalaysia.com/hostel/ab-motel/langkawi">AB Motel</a>. Budget motel right in front of the beach-pantai cenang. NICE! Right smack in front of the beach&#8230; Just what we wanted. We got a family sized room with 2 queen sized beds. lols.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1253" title="1538095_12284049024314" src="http://www.cupcakesrock.com/pinkshoes/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/1538095_12284049024314.jpg" alt="1538095_12284049024314" width="462" height="346" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">From this <a href="http://chiahui.fotopages.com/?entry=1248903">girl&#8217;s blog</a>.</p>

Email: <a href="mailto:abmotel@hotmail.com">abmotel@hotmail.com</a><br />
about RM 100 for double queen beds (4-5 people)</p></blockquote>
<p>Miss Lea, I think you should email this email just to confirm the booking in print with them. Since you called them. I dowan to be left stranded with no rooms in Langkawi!</p>
<p>I am anal like that. hahahaha.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m googling things to do in langkawi. Reading Forums and such. Here&#8217;s someone&#8217;s planning:</p>
<blockquote><p>Day 1:<br />
Arrived at 12:45am<br />
- rented a Nissan Sentra @ RM200 for 4D3N<br />
- checked-in AB Motel (satisfied with it <!--emo&#038;:)--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--endemo--> )<br />
- head to Kuah for shopping and getting some necessities.<br />
- visit the Eagle Square and its surroundings<br />
- back to Cenang beach for sunset &#8211; but too bad there were too many clouds &#8211; overall ok<br />
- Dinner at Fatmum (price is ok as long as you do not order crab &#8211; taste-wise it&#8217;s good <!--emo&#038;:drool:--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/drool.gif" border="0" alt="drool.gif" /><!--endemo--> )<br />
- walking around Cenang Beach at night.</p>
<p>Day 2:<br />
- Pulau Payar Marine Park<br />
- That&#8217;s all because others were too tired <!--emo&#038;:x--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/doh.gif" border="0" alt="doh.gif" /><!--endemo--> (especially the girls)<br />
- Dinner at Mimi&#8217;s Seafood (recommended by wikitravel which claimed as the greatest Ikan Bakar &#8211; one work &#8211; OVERRATED)</p>
<p>Day 3:<br />
- Tanjung Rhu for Mangrove Tour (quite enjoyable &#8211; at least better than Pulau Payar experience)<br />
- Saw a few monkeys waiting for our food <!--emo&#038;:P--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /><!--endemo--><br />
- Eagle Feeding was fun and it was our lucky day to be able to see (and take picture of) an white eagle (there are only around 2 white eagles in the area)<br />
- Stopped at Hole in the Wall &#8211; Fish feeding (a waste of RM5) &amp; had a fish (for the sake of trying) which was pricey and nothing special.<br />
- Bat cave &#8211; nothing much special<br />
- Bad parts of the tour were 1) We could not see dolphins 2) It was pricey &#8211; I asked around after the tour and someone could gave me RM180 for a boat (4 persons)<!--emo&#038;:x--> <img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/doh.gif" border="0" alt="doh.gif" /><!--endemo--> I will update it here later.<br />
- Went to Tanjung Rhu, disappointing &#8211; The sand was bad and there was a guard prohibiting us getting to the better beach on the resort<!--emo&#038;:x--> <img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/doh.gif" border="0" alt="doh.gif" /><!--endemo--> The water was not shallow enough for us to get us to the island in front (timing problem)<br />
- Black Sand Beach &#8211; Nothing special &#8211; just took a few photos.<br />
- Cable car &#8211; it was a great trip  &#8211; it was about the same as Genting&#8217;s but much scarier <!--emo&#038;:sweat:--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sweat.gif" border="0" alt="sweat.gif" /><!--endemo--> &#8211; the bad part was the hanging bridge was under maintenance until December <!--emo&#038;:(--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><!--endemo--><br />
- Oriental Village (same place with Cable car) &#8211; nothing special to me<br />
- Been to Perdana Quay for Loaf &#8211; very quiet because of the bad timing &#8211; For upper class &#8211; that means not for us <!--emo&#038;:(--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><!--endemo--><br />
- Heading back (cos we needed to check-in at Awana Porto Malai &#8211; 2D@AB Motel 1D@Porto Malai) &#8211; along the way, stopped by somewhere beside the airport gate for &#8220;Laksa Power&#8221; &#8211; highly recommended by dEviLs (FYI, it&#8217;s a different kind of laksa compared to Penang&#8217;s &#8211; this is called &#8220;laksa sanggul&#8221; IINM. Taste good but it&#8217;s spicy because they put in raw cili padi inside)<br />
- Checked in Porto Malai &#8211; it&#8217;s kinda late. My comment &#8211; Romantic and quiet &#8211; definitely not for groups of youngsters <!--emo&#038;:P--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /><!--endemo--><br />
- Enjoyed the late evening there and took couple of photos (and night photos <!--emo&#038;:P--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /><!--endemo--> )<br />
- Went back to Cenang Beach for late dinner <!--emo&#038;:x--><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/doh.gif" border="0" alt="doh.gif" /><!--endemo--><br />
- Late dinner at Orkid Ria (like Mimi&#8217;s &#8211; recommended by wikitravel &#8211; pricey although the service was good. I personally preferred Fatmum but others thought this is better in taste)<br />
- Back to Porto Malai and laid back to enjoy the sea wind (with little wave) and nice breeze.</p>
<p>Day 4:<br />
- Checked-out<br />
- To Kuah for last-minute shopping<br />
- On the way to airport (2:15pm flight), we went upside of Langkawi.<br />
- Thought of going to Wild Life Park but it was about to rain &#8211; went to Galeria Perdana &#8211; one work &#8211; sucks! (I read somewhere that we needed to pay but we sneaked in somehow)<br />
- Went to Perangin Waterfall &#8211; managed to take a few photos before the rain chased us away.<br />
- Reached airport and wasted most of the time waiting and checking-in</p></blockquote>
<p>Lols. I read it at <a href="http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/269099/+1920">Lowyat.net forum</a>. I guess we can get good pointers from people&#8217;s esperiences. Joyce, here, go read and get yourself acquainted with the holiday. We need all the information we can get in our head so that we don&#8217;t get cheated or make mistakes doing the wrong things. hahaha. So, please go read ya? hahaha</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0099;">On my face<br />
</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #999999; font-size: 12px;"> </span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3479/3207019146_91850a2c03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>So the other day, I tried on this sample product which i found while cleaning my room. I guess it was expired or something because ever since then my face started breaking out. SO MANY PIMPLES!!!! sheesssshhh.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">NEVER TRY OLD SAMPLE PRODUCTS!</p>
<p>Then it was time then for me to try <span style="color: #33cccc;"><strong>Clearasil</strong></span>&#8216;s product which I got from Clearasil. They sent me a gift hamper of stuff for me to try. Awesome possum. Just in time for my crappy face with pimples. so sad okay!!</p>
<p>It came in this really cool box with ribbon all. So awesome no? hehehe. Love the smell of the box. Or rather the product range. It smells goooooooddddd.</p>
<p>Anyone who knows me would know that give me anything that looks and smells good, sure ok for me wan. hahaha. So anyways, the range of products came in 5:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Skin Perfecting Wash and Oil Free Gel Wash</span> </strong>that deep cleans, removes bacteria that causes pimples and prevents breakouts on skin without over-drying. The Skin Perfecting Wash that gently exfoliates while the Oil Free Gel Wash purifies and is refreshing on the skin.
<ul>
<li><em><span style="color: #3366ff;">My review:</span> </em>The Skin perfecting wash has like little pebbles (I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s it called) that works like a face scrub, but not so harsh on the face. Can be used like everyday as instructed. The gel wash on the other hand is foamy and can does not smell as nice as the first one <img src='http://www.cupcakesrock.com/pinkshoes/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  hehe</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>The Deep Cleansing Toner</strong></span> that cleanses deep down to remove oil and bacteria while tightening pores
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;"><em>My review:</em></span> The Toner is very cooooool. Does not burn my skin like other toners I&#8217;ve tried. After washing face, must always put toner. Dab dab a little bit on the face to close pores. hehe. I&#8217;ve always liked toners. Makes my skin feel owh so nice. Especially when its all evaporated! hhahhaha.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Mattifying Moisturising Lotion </strong></span>moisturises dry areas and mattifies shiny areas to fight the causes of pimples
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;"><em>My review:</em></span> The moisturiser is not bad also. It keeps my skin moisturised. It also smells awesome. I think when you want to put something on your face, it better be smelling nice or else you would have to like live with it on your face for a long time! hahaha. Owh wells.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Pimple Treatment Cream</strong></span> that penetrates deep into blocked pores to kill bacteria and dries up oil for up to 12 hours
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;"><em>My review:</em></span> I&#8217;ve always only used one pimple cream because that&#8217;s the only one that worked on me so far. So when I tried this cream, I was skeptical lah. But i tried anyways. The colour of the pimple cream is like yellowish. When put on face, it does not disappear but remains there. I guess you can only put this pimple cream like before sleeping and not for going out. When i put it on, it looked like i had put some mud cream on my face. Totally scared me shits, maybe something wrong. haha. But then, i kept it anyways and the next day washed it off. It worked fine, a bit slow i guess but after a few days, my pimples were still there. I guess not all pimple cream works for all faces.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I used all 5 already and I use the first 4 everyday for my daily cleanse, tone, moisturise. Keeps my face feeling fresh and smelling really nice. By using the products, it ensures that my skin is free of pimples. Well, I&#8217;ve been using it for like a week now and my pimples are going away slowly. teehee.</p>
<p>Yeay Clearasil:)</p>
<h2><span style="color: #3366ff;">Where to get Clearasil products?</span></h2>
<p>Any pharmacies or departmental stores or hypermarkets. Price: RM5.90 for the products in 50ml and RM10.90 for the products in 100ml and the Pimple Treatment Cream. Cheap eh? I am cheap, thank you! Quoting Russell Peters: Indians are the number one cheap people followed by Chinese. I am part of BOTH, which makes me super cheap! hahahaha. wtf.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999; font-size: 12px;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3344/3206184827_18b6513776.jpg" alt="" /></p>
