Isabel Lee | Malaysian Beauty & Lifestyle Blogger: November 2010

Products Finished in November

Another month nearer to Christmas! Guess my Christmas present arrived early. Just got a call from Cleo Magazine saying that I was among the ones chosen for the hair makeover (yay!). She said it's a drastic change so she was asking if I'm okay with it. Truthfully, the 'drastic' word kinda scared me but I just agreed, ignoring any description she gave in case it would make me chicken out xD I thought I heard the word blonde and bangs although I must must MUST have heard wrongly about the blonde part.

Last month.. I finished 6 products. Glad I'm keeping up with the P5P-kinda thingy lol

Sample sized Cyleina Rice Bran soap
ZA Deep Hydrating Gel
Palmers Olive Butter Formula Lotion with Vitamin E
Sample sized Cyleina Pineapple & Carrots
Lancome Primordiale Optimum Yeux Eye Treatment
Sample sized B&B Organics Tomato soap

So far, I've finished up mainly skincare and soaps. None of my makeup look anywhere near to finishing =/ I really gotta start using them more and stop buying!

November's to do list isn't looking very good lol

Study for exams! I was very hardworking at first but towards the end I just lost all mood to study >_< Does anyone else have that problem?
Spend less time online. I'm practically glued to the computer every single day. FAIL! Lmao.. I'm still a computer geek but I'm on my blog less now. Progress, perhaps?
Go out more (I'm suck a geek >_<) Wish I could more but I'm sick now and going out when you're sick isn't very fun =(
Go swimming with my friend. Right after my exams ended, I fell sick so no, I haven't been swimming. Argh!
Be more active as a blogger in real life & participate in events. Lol.. Not so successful in this

For next month, I simply wish I would wear sunblock more often >_< After getting sunburnt at Genting, my friend revealed that she regretted not wearing sunblock. In fact, I do too =(

Blue Eyed

Yet another look by Nicole. (I mentioned you hor! xD) No specific themes this time. Foundation was a little fair as she was experimenting with some new stuff. Flash enhanced the fairness >_< I've always been afraid of bright blues but it actually looks okay here..

And how could I resist Mocha?!

Awww.. He really looks like a soft toy sometimes.

And he even left a paw mark on my leg. Can you see it?

He just makes me wanna hug him whenever I see him =)

Nothing fancy but I want to share about the food I like. When my Bf & I really like something, we would eat it a lot and at a certain point, get so sick of it that we stop completely lol I first saw this at Curve but I didn't order anything. I just watched him eat. Didn't think it was nice but I changed my mind after I had a small bite.

This is our usual order, T3. I don't know what's inside but it's beef and noodles lol Edit : The menu says it contains steak, brisket, flank, tendon & tripe pho. >_< You pour in the tauge while it's hot, squeeze the lime in (although I don't think it makes much of a difference; maybe it's not supposed to be added to the soup?) and eat with the sambal. Omg.. I don't usually like noodle soups but this is really tasty <3 It's about RM 17 for a small bowl and about RM 19 for a large bowl. *sigh..* Craving for it right now..

Not only is the food good, the workers there are very friendly as well. They welcome you, open the door for you and smile. Once, when I only ordered an ice cream instead of noodles, the waiter asked if I needed an empty bowl (to share) and if I would like to have my ice cream now or later. Then when I was sick, they gave me warm water instead of with ice like my Bf ordered. They really give me this feeling like they care for their customers.

There's this little thingy that explains all the goodness that is in the ingredients used.

We also checked out the branch in Tropicana City Mall. The 'feel' is more modern here and not so warm like the one in Curve. Sure.. The noodles smell and look about the same but something is just missing.. The Bf says the one in Curve has an extra ingredient : TLC (tender loving care) which makes it tastier. As much as I like this noodle, the Tropicana branch just fails to impress me. Also, there seems to be less meat & noodles inside and it looks less appealing.

Talking about Tropicana City Mall.. I had dinner at the Kenny Rogers there recently. Was very disappointed (more like pissed off) with them. First, we waited quite a while before anyone served us. I ordered a Mac & Cheese while the other 2 ordered chicken with side servings. First, they both received wrong dishes (which were for the table next to us). Then it took half an hour for mine to arrive and guess what? She gave me a side dish sized Mac & Cheese. For DINNER. Who in the world eats such a small bowl for dinner?! >_< Have some common sense please.. I didn't complain as I didn't want to wait another half an hour for a full sized one. Never going back there again..

NOTD : Pink & Purple and Genting Trip

Not much inspiration for my nails.. I've gotten too lazy to do them lately lol But I needed to get them done for a trip with my classmates.

Both colours are Emily brand from the night market. No top coat or whatever as I'm planning to remove them real soon. My nails need a break! =/

And of course.. There's the usual me camwhoring xD Even my Bf calls me a camwhore =(

Ah.. Isn't she adorable.. <3

Crap.. I look better here but Sylphie's not in the shot

She doesn't seem to like camwhoring with me.. =( She runs off everytime lol

So I camwhored myself while my Bf is playing his games or whatever. Do you think camwhoring is a crime? lol

Hee.. Showing off my nails

Now the trip photos! The bunch of us took an 8 am bus to Genting so we could reach early and avoid the crowd lol I was darn sleepy but it was worth it cos we managed to sit on all the rides we wanted (which excludes the kiddy ones and the real boring ones >_<)

They sat on the Solero Shot (Space Shot?) while I stood below to take pics. NO WAY am I going to sit on that. I'm afraid of heights and this will absolutely kill me x.x

There were game booths where you could win soft toys. Look at the mountain of bears! You can win these by 'fishing' plastic ducks with a pole.

We were lucky cos it only rained for a little while and the rides were open for most of the day. On the 2nd day, it rained and rained so the outdoor theme park was closed.

One thing I like about Genting : the view & all the greens

That balloon lollipop is so cute!! There were clowns in the outdoor theme park making balloon animals and all.

The spider on the Haunted House thingy in First World. It looks cool on the outside but it's actually really boring. Not worth it for the price..

Not many pictures as most of them had other people in the photo or just wasn't photos of me.

I usually just go with my family and this is only the 2nd time I've gone with my friends and even the first time, my parents were kinda there too.

Things I've learnt from this trip :
1. Bring your own food. Food and drinks are obnoxiously expensive there!
2. If you don't mind bringing extra stuff, bring your own blanket. Theirs suck =/
3. Wear sunblock x.x
4. Wear a jacket / outfit that suits both hot and cold.

Guess that's all for today. I haven't been in the mood to blog lately (previous posts have been scheduled) as I've been sick for more than a week. Darn viral fever.. So take care of yourself and don't catch the bug x.x
