Exam preparations

My below than CGPA 3.00 result for my last semester is a hard-slapped truth that I'm not coping well with my course right now. Should I blame it on our incompatibality or just plain dumb me? I confess that diving into Actuarial Science was decided purely by me. So, I am not giving up yet! I came across this article while surfing the web and find it quite useful. Maybe there are more in the future. Here are the links :

The right products for me!

Usually when I have the extra cash to buy myself the personal care products that looks promising. (The advertising does it!) I started trying a few product in these few years and have come up with the ones that works for me. =)

1. Garnier Light Facial Cream
-Works very well for lightening your skin. I don't recommend for lifetime continuous usage of product though. Wud like to try the body cream, wonder if it is as effective.

2. T3 Lemon / Orange Facial Wash
- Effectively keeps pimples away. I rarely had any pimples problems at all during the duration I’m using this.

3. Olay facial cream
-The most compatible brand for my skin.

4. Body shop perfume.
-Affordable and most of scents are intoxicatingly sweet & natural. Double like!


Products that are just not for me =(

1. Nivea facial cream
-Not comfortable with d smell n does little to protect my skin.

2. Palmolive shampoo
-It leaves my hair all coarse and dry and tangled.

3. Dove shampoo (old blue-range)
-Causes my hair loss. Eeek~
-Although they have a new & improved range, I’m still quite skeptical. O.o

4. Safi Balqis facial wash
-Leaves my skin tensed & Botox-like.

5. Loreal Facial cream
-I like the texture, smell n everything but not really effective. My skin doesn't improve much.

Personal Care : Stock them up!

So, here’s an entry on where to get the best bargains for personal care stuffs! I know this may sound cheapy and downright sales-hoarder but it saves you half of the normal price. =) I’ll list down the products I’ve bought so far and the prices as well. (To keep track of the best bargains =p)

Tailoring baju kurung : important details to remember!

I'm up again with a post that will surely benefit me in the future.. hoho =3 im such a forgetful person~ so, here are the details that I should not forget when tailoring my baju kurung!

1. 'Pesak gantung' style. Accentuate your curves. hehe.
2. 'Lipatan kain' on my left.
3. Top 'kurung' must be at knee or below.
4. 'Kain kurung' has to reach the floor. (for heels)
5. Don't forget the buttons! I hope the tailor would not.
6. Shoulder padding unsewed. (but i dun think i mind a shoulder pad now =p)

And when you're buying your textiles to be sown, they usually come in two sizes :
1. 6.5, for this I only need to buy 3metres.
2. lower, need to buy 4metres.
