Having blackheads is one common and annoying problem. They are unattractive and sometimes hard to get rid off. I’m not sure bout you guys but i think blackheads looove appear around the nose area. Correct me if i’m wrong but that’s how it is for me.
Anyway, i got these babies here a couple of weeks ago to try out.
Oxy has a whole range of products for blemish prevention. The ones i’ve got here is specially targeted for blackheads. Getting rid of blackheads takes some effort, and i believe these products can help.
First up, the oil control cleansing wipes. Pretty much like your average wet tissue, minus the strong fragrance some wet tissues have. However, what i like bout this one here is the ingredients. Menthol for that cool refreshing feel and aloe extracts to repair acne prone skin.
All focused on preventing blemishes and controlling excess sebum secreted by the skin.
It removes make up rather efficiently too. Always be gentle while removing make up, wouldn’t wanna rub the skin too hard and cause sagging and such. Ugh! Be patient :)
Next, cleanse face with the blackhead clearing wash. It has Jojoba microbeads to exfoliate the skin - clearing blackheads and preventing new ones from forming.
I have to admit that i kinda like this one here. It smells clean, fresh, and a little lemony. Though i don’t see any lemon listed in the ingredients. My face felt a lot cleaner and fresher after using this wash, not to mention that it doesn’t dry out the skin too.
Ohhh one thing bout blackheads. Here’s a tip, have a hot shower. The steam from the hot water will open up the pores. Then, use a nose pore strip to get rid of those disgusting buggers from the nose!
Cause when the pores are open, the easier it is to remove all the blackheads and dirt from the pores. Don’t forget to read the instructions on how to use the pore strip though.
It takes about 10 to 15 minutes, standard time. But DON’T fall asleep.. or get carried away with whatever you’re doing. Cause things might get ugly if you do. Trust me i’ve been there. And it wasn’t good.
Gulp.
The robe is from La Senza, by the way.
Anyway while waiting for that pore strip to dry, you can check out Oxy’s cute site. I’m liking the whole classroom thing. Makes me wanna scribble on a blackboard.
They have this game going on called the Class Attack.
I even created my own class room. Join me cause my class is nice and blue :)
Prizes to be won if you join my classroom, hehe
Had some spare time so i even customized my own wallpaper, haha
It kills time and rewards you. Two birds, one stone. Just don’t get too carried away, you still got that pore strip there! Finish off by applying toner and moisturizer after removing the pore strip. Oxy has them toner and moisturizer, one complete set!
Best part, it’s affordable and easily obtainable from any leading pharmacy. Now you’re good to go :)

I don’t know bout you guys, but i absolutely love the feeling of unwrapping a package or a gift. One of the best gifts i’ve received actually came to me by mail. I still remember that day when i came home to a fat little envelope waiting for me on my table.
I examined the envelope for a while. It came from someone close and special. Feeling a little puzzled, i opened the envelope carefully. I’m not much of a “ripper”, if you get what i mean. In that envelope, there was a little box with a familiar name on it and a ribbon tied around it. My heart seriously skipped a beat.
Oh my god, what’s going on with me?!
My mind was buzzing as i untie that satin ribbon, wondering what could possibly be inside. So i opened the box. I found something so familiar inside. Something that i once saw on a shelf of a boutique. It was leather and ohhh.. it was in baby pink.
I sat there for a moment, waiting for my heart to be done with the melting process. I picked it up and sniffed the leather, ohhh the leather.
I’ve never received such a surprise before.
And that’s how Reebonz came about.
Reebonz is a private shopping destination of designer brands and private sales. The name Reebonz (pronounced as RIBBONS) came from the idea of the ribbon we untie when we receive presents. They are established in Singapore, and now they are open to Malaysians too!
It’s extremely exclusive and it’s invitation only. Sounds atas, ain’t it?
Well, good news! I’m inviting everyone to join Reebonz!
Just enter the invite code jamie on the bottom right hand corner of the main page of Reebonz and proceed to sign up.
OR, you can just click HERE.
Now we all know that Singapore is the nearest place to get great prices for designer labels. If you don’t, then now you do. And don’t even get me started on the SALES they have there. When they say sales, they really mean SALES. Very much unlike our own country here.. *cough*
And thanks to Reebonz, we can now enjoy the sales from the comfort of our own home!
Reebonz offers online sale events that last about 2 or 3 days, in which items from a specific brand will be up on the website for members to purchase.
Purchases are made online via credit card or paypal. It’s pretty much like the usual online shopping that we all are used to, but this time it involves a wide range of luxury brands.
And worry not, Reebonz are very reliable and trustable. All the products that are available on the site are brand new and authentic with a discounted price!
You wouldn’t believe the brands they’re bringing in this month of October!
Gucci, Miu Miu, Prada, Fendi, Burberry, and more! They also have other brands like Coach, Kate Spade, Givenchy, ugh there’s just too much to list! Imagine, you can get any of those from the comfort of your home!
Other than offering us sales, Reebonz are really into giveaways as well. And they’re pretty generous too.
I heard from a little birdie that a fellow Malaysian won herself this Bonnie Summer Leather bag from Coach!
Well, don’t feel bummed that you didn’t know bout this earlier cause there’s another giveaway going on. More on that here :)
So don’t forget to sign up by clicking HERE to see more of what Reebonz has to offer. Loves! :)

I’ve always had a thing for accessories - earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings.. you name it. I really wished i had more of them, but the problem is that it’s really difficult to find the right accessories for myself. I want them pretty, i want them to come in affordable prices, and most especially i want them to fit me well.
The biggest challenge is finding the right bracelet or ring. I hate it.
I don’t get to wear pretty rings eventhough they’re adjustable. If i really want to wear them, i’ll have to distort the shape of it just to fit my slender fingers. And sometimes, the charm itself is just too big! So forget bout rings.
At least there’s still some hope for the other hand/arm accessory - the bracelet. The only problem i have to face is the fitting. And perhaps the charms.
Argh! All these complications over such a small matter. You know what the best solution would be?
Just get a personalized charm bracelet!
I’m so glad that my bracelet from the Little Trinket Company turned out so pretty! And the best part of all is that it’s made to fit me :)
Little Trinket has loads of unique and pretty charms made from silver and brass. Not only that, they have four different types of bracelet chains to choose from up to this date.
At first, i was worried bout mixing silver and brass charms for my silver chain bracelet. But then again, sometimes you just have to leave it to the pros. True enough, it came out beautifully :)
Here are the four charms that i picked to fit into my tiny charm bracelet.
Gotta have a tribute to the endangered unicorns, ehn!
Love by The Little Trinket Company.

A couple of weeks ago i checked out the DiGi Campus roadshow at Asia Cafe. It seemed pretty simple from the outside, but it actually had more to offer despite its looks.
The first thing i noticed there was the table with two laptops on it.
I used one of them to show the DiGi promoters my blog. Then i thought, how convenient it would be to have free surfing with DiGi Campus. 3G services really cost a bomb and what the DiGi Campus package has to offer is really a good deal.
I can imagine surfing YouTube, checking emails and Twitter, and approving blog comments without having to worry bout my credit. It’s so much less stressful that way. Spoken from experience, yeap.
Oh, the promoters were such nice people, really. I’m surprised that they took interest in my blog. Real friendly. They were even willing to pose for the camera.
The next thing i noticed was the heap of boxes piled up at the DiGi Campus booth. They pretty much reminded me of pizza boxes.
I asked the promoter what were they and he said that they were free gifts for those who signed up for DiGi Campus. He was even nice enough to show me what’s inside the pizza box!
Inside the pizza box there were cute stickers, a couple of Nescafe freebies, and most of all, vouchers worth up to RM 200!
One voucher that caught my eye was the voucher for free cosmetic products from Clinique!
Jizz much.

From and to Sue, with love.
And that is an example of how Sue and i communicate over text message. Short and simple. Sometimes it gets so short that i don’t even know why i even bother using 10 cents just to reply. Some text messages are as short as two letters, “Ok”.
And in my mind, i was thinking that if i don’t show a response by replying at least something like an “ok”, the sender might think that i didn’t get the message. However if i do reply, i’ll seem stupid cause it’s only two letters so what’s the point?
I really hope i’m not the only one that experiences this cause there should be at least one person out there who goes through this too. If not confirm i’m labeled as weird.
Eh?
Anyways, of course there’s a solution to everything. And i found mine.
I would like to introduce DiGi’s Campus plan which offers students free calls, free SMS, and free surfing wherever they are nationwide.
It used to be limited to 15 selected campus areas, but now the all new DiGi Campus is available at almost 200 universities and colleges.
Even Domo-kun is impressed.
Nah, give you flower.
But WAIT.
We all know that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Well, there is sometimes but you catch my drift.
Free calls are only applicable for DiGi to DiGi numbers after spending an amount of RM 2 total daily on calls, SMS, MMS, data and more.
Easy!
Users will also get to enjoy free SMSes to 11 of their Friends and Family numbers anytime and anywhere. Ohhh, i’m liking this.
Not only that, free surfing is available after the usage of the month exceeds RM 30 for data. Perfect for internet addicts like me. Good news for Facebook and Twitter whores, hee.
And it only gets better cause with this, we get to enjoy free connectivity with our friends just by reloading any value once a year and we will stay connected with our friends for the next FOUR years upon activation. That’s practically when you finish your whole course, haha.
Of course along with all these, we have rewards such as reload and birthday bonuses to name a couple. It’s all good :)
Now we all can stay connected without any limitations. And ironically this picture has 11 of my friends inside, excluding myself. Hee

Recently i’ve switched my skin care to Clinelle. I got the basic skin care products that are suitable for normal to oily skin types.
I have the very basic cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.
I have to admit that i kinda like Clinelle’s products.
I think that Clinelle’s deep cleansing gel is a little bit different. It has natural ingredients such as green tea leaf and ivy extracts. It just feels so natural.
The gel is slimy and gooey, but it feels really nice when it’s applied onto the face. The smell is not too strong and not too artificial either. Like i said, it feels very natural.
Next up is the purifying toner.
It feels like any other toner, but the scent is somehow different. When i used it for the first time, it reminded me of that expensive spa at KL my mum brought me to.
I had no idea why it reminded me about the spa then until i checked the ingredients of the toner. It contains ingredients such as tea tree oil, lavender essential oil, aloe vera, and Chamomilla Recutita extract.
No wonder!
The moisturizer is something i’d really like to rave about.
I had NEVER applied moisturizer during the day before going out because i’ve never found the right moisturizer that doesn’t make my skin feel oily.
The previous moisturizer that i was using is hell, that’s why i only apply it before going to bed. So that i don’t have to endure the eekyness on my skin. Yeah sure it’s moisturizing but i hate moisturizers that makes the skin feel oily -_-;;
And i swear, Clinelle’s Moisture Glow is my savior. Read on.
One day, i woke up in the morning and did my lady things as usual. But this time it was different, i applied my moisturizer before going out to run some errands.
I took this picture after i came home in the afternoon with natural lighting. With NO make up on.
One word.
Matte.
My skin was not oily at all. JIZZ!
After going here and there from morning till afternoon, still matte. I love this moisturizer. I do believe that it also depends on how much amount you apply. Not too little, not too much.
Clinelle’s SnoWhite Mask helps in brightening and hydrating the skin. I don’t see much use of that for me cause i’m already quite fair myself, but i still tried it out.
I like the fact that it’s cream based. I have a hard time dealing with masks that hardens and/or requires peeling. Imagine if you wanna laugh and you have a clay mask on. Everything is gonna crack for sure!
So this cream based mask is a lot better :)
On the other hand, i also like Clinelle for its packaging.
I do pay attention to what’s written at the back of my products. Descriptions, ingredients, and also directions.
.. Weird, i know. Read on.
I feel that many people don’t pay much detail when caring for their skin. Clinelle’s directions really remind people how to do so.
Like patting your face dry instead of just plain wiping. Or applying your skin care in gentle upward strokes.
If we really want to maintain good skin conditions in the long run, these small details count.
People who use cosmetics often should know the importance of proper skin care. Surely we don’t want pre-mature wrinkles, sagging, uneven skin tone and stuff like those. Personally i think it’s scary, that’s why i try my best to take care of my skin.
However that doesn’t mean those who don’t use make up don’t have to take care of their skin.
Everyone HAS to!
Not only females, but also males. It’s not gay at all, trust me. Chicks really dig guys who take care of their skin.
I strongly believe in the term “Beautiful make up starts with beautiful skin”.
And i also think that it’s a lot easier that way.
A very simple way of preparing for a day out.
1. Apply moisturizer and sun block
2. Apply some concealer if needed
3. Curl lashes before applying brown eyeliner
4. Mascara, take your time with this
5. Set your hair and put on a pair of nice earrings
And you’re done! :)
Clinelle also has other range of products available at any leading pharmacies. Price ranges from RM 16 to RM 70 in which i think is very reasonable. And restocking definitely won’t be a problem :)

Have you ever thought of trying to dress up like a music celebrity?
Well i’m sure some of us did. Wouldn’t you want to try out Avril Lavigne’s funky dressing for once?
Or even for the fun of it?
Pink highlights, check.
Checkered mini skirt, check.
Fish nets, check.
Knee socks, check.
High heels, check.
Looking good. But there’s just one problem.
You missed the chanced to dress like Avril cause her concert in KL was last year. And if we really did dress up like that in public now, people will just give us that look.
That cock stare look.
Gotta admit that i would do that too.. sometimes.
Okay, forget Avril.
How bout Justin Timberlake?
The whole vest and blazer thing going on. And maybe even with the fedora hat. Stylish, no doubt.
But if we really did, people might think we’re overdressed!
So again with the cock stare..
Sien.
What’s up with our society?
Okay, so what if i told you that you can get a chance to dress up as any music celebrity you want AT A PARTY?
Think about the music and dancing involved!
And what if, i told you that you’ll get rewarded with a prize like a Sony Playstation 3 just by doing the best impersonation of a celebrity?
Hmm.. getting rewarded just to play dress up and party. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, IT’S TRUE!
There’s a party coming up and everyone is invited!
Nuffnang and Maxis are throwing a party in conjunction of the new Maxis USB Modem.
It’s the Nuffnang Music Bash 2009 and this party is giving us the chance to get down right crazy and creative!
Date: 4th of April 2009, Saturday
Time: 6 pm till 10 pm
Venue: Maison, Heritage Row of Kuala Lumpur
Dress code: Music celebrities
This costume party is like a passport to let us dress up as any artist we want!
Thinking about it makes me excited. Just how often do we have costume parties around other than the time during Halloween?
Costume parties are so much fun. But the only down side is deciding what to dress up as. And what can a girl like me possibly dress up as for this party?
I asked a couple of friends, and i hate to say that the answers i got were kinda weird.
Hik suggested that i should dress up as Paris Hilton. Or Lindsay Lohan. Around that category. And he said, “You are Paris Hilton type, accept it”.
But nooo, Yatz said don’t dress as Paris Hilton cause when i get to the party, i’m gonna see like 5 more other Parises. True enough.
So he gave me this brilliant suggestion to dress up as.. Bjork.
.. With the infamous swan dress.
Confirm win the best celebrity impersonator award. I’ll walk away with a Playstation 3 that night, HAHA! That is if i can get my hands on that swan dress.
Wait, that is if i even DARE to wear that thing!
.. NAHHH!
Well i do have a couple of ideas of my own.
The easiest would be dressing up as Katy Perry. Just put on a pin-up looking dress and a heavy set of eyelashes, and i’m done!
Yes?
No?
Maybe so?
Mmm well, my next option would be dressing up as Lady GaGa.
This one is a little extreme.
I’ll need a blonde wig. And i’ll have to figure out how am i gonna get that lightning print on my face. But nonetheless, it’s a cool choice.
Anyway, i’m gonna need more suggestions. Maybe i should put up a poll too.
This party is gonna be so much fun. I can’t wait to see how everyone else dresses like!
Like i said before, this party is open to everyone. But you gotta follow the magic steps to get an invitation to the Music Bash.
Just write a blog post titled “I’m a musician celebrity thanks to Maxis Broadband” and submit the permalink along with your full name and IC number to musicbash2009@nuffnang.com. Be creative! Who knows you’ll get to win a prize for the most creative blog post ;)

On a weekday afternoon, i got a phone call.
Friend: Where are you?
Me: At home, online.
Friend: Okayyy i’ll see you on MSN then *hangs up*
Anyone who knows me well enough would know that i’m an internet junkie. To be specific, MSN junkie.
Don’t have to waste your phone bill, just go on MSN. I’ll be there, confirm. And as always, i’ll be..
“Busy”.
And if i’m not there, i’m actually there. Just appearing offline. Hee!
I know some of you who have my MSN might be wondering which group are you under in my contact list. Well.. you ain’t gonna find out, HA!
Anyway, it seems that MSN is the only way i can keep in touch with a couple of friends now. I don’t even remember when was the last time i saw Jason :(
I wonder what he looks like now..
Speaking on MSN, i was lucky enough to get invited to Nuffnang’s Blogger Nite Out with DiGi at Friendster Cafe, Damansara Perdana.
What for?
Well, DiGi and Microsoft teamed up to bring Malaysia’s first integrated instant messaging mobile service, called Windows Messenger Live on DiGi and we got the chance to experience it first-hand!
Believe it or not, Windows Live Messenger is now available for mobile phones. Screw PDAs, now we don’t have to spend so much on them anymore.
The mobile MSN is almost like the real thing, except it’s more minimal.
Although my conversation with the moderator was brief, i had fun trying out this new service. I know i sound damn mengada, but the moderator was nice enough to layan back also, HAHA!
There are only a number of phone models which are compatible with this service.
Phone models that are not listed below, so sorry.
DAMMIT, MY PHONE MODEL IS NOT LISTED!
W595, you’ve failed me.
Oh btw, check out my super cute wallpaper.
Anyway, it’s not a big deal if your phone model is not listed in the compatible list. Just throw your current phone away and get a new one that’s on the list, HAHA!
I’m just kidding, come on. Please don’t do that.
.. DON’T AH.
They at DiGi know that we love this on our phones, and that’s why new phone models will be constantly added onto the compatibility list. Just check out this site for updates.
DiGi subscribers can enjoy a two-month FREE trial. If you like it, you can keep it for a nominal flat rate of RM 3 per month, with NO additional charges after the free trial period.
The promo ends on 16th May 2009.
Sounds good?
All you gotta do is just follow these simple steps to get Windows Live Messenger on your DiGi mobile.
Please note that you will need to activate your GPRS for this. SMS SETUP to 2000.
Ohh and watch this. This is the commercial for the Windows Live Messenger on DiGi. It’s really cute and i love that song. Mm!
Now here are the rest of the pictures from that night :)
Don’t forget to try this out before the free trial ends, alright :)

By far the sexiest song, ever.
Definitely something different from mainstream. This song deserves more recognition.
I love the sounds of N.E.R.D. It’s something you don’t get everyday. Not to mention, Pharrell. Hotness!

Silent Disco Arena.
12 hours of continuous music.
Pharrell (!!)
Thinking about it makes me excited already.
