market..

last saturday, i went to a boutique market and had booked a stall to sell clothes. it's called the taketwo market, there was ppl from the current affair went over to make a cover story about the market as well! my sister and i had so many stuff to sell off and also had a few friends that joined us as well. we made heaps of effort and time to prepare the selling like pricing and sorting etc. but we only managed to sell abit which was quite disappointing. maybe cause there was not enough ppl going for the market. anyways we had fun selling and learned some experiences in selling second hand goods. we'll try to do better next time. haha! i have a confession to make... i actually bought stuff from the market as well.. haha! a very cute and nice cosmetic pouch and a vintage looking ring and a pair of earrings as a gift for a friend and also a pair of high heels.. at really bargain price of course. i was attracted to our neighbour stall which was selling accessories that they design and handmade themselves. interesting exeperience indeed. will definately do it again.

mayday!!

on thursday night i went to mayday concert at hisense stadium right after work. that was my first concert and to be honest, it was absolutely awesome! i'm not a huge fan of mayday and don't know much of their songs but they have some classic songs that we listened before when we were in secondary school, so the atmosphere was so high throughout the whole concert. the music, the band, the mtv that they specially filmed for the concert, the background setting, the theme, the lightings, the special fireworks effect, the effort of the band, all of them just made the concert really awesome! took some photos but i was too far away from the stage.. anyhow i had heaps of fun that night. and i'm going to listen to mayday songs more often. haha! one of the member of the band is really charming. opss..=P i was so tired by the end of the concert. and hence the next day of work was just too exhausting for me. luckily i still managed to go for work..

undomestic goddess..

these few days i was hooked up with another book. i was reading another sophie kinsella's book, called the undomestic goddess, the story was about a top lawyer who is working in the top lawyer firm in london and she was at the peak of her career and preparing herself to be one of the partners in the firm. but just before she got that position, she just realised that she made a mistake. a huge one that caused her client to loss 50 million pound. she ran away when she realised it and came into an unknown place where she found herself being a housekeeper! what an accident. haha! and the catch is that she doesn't know any single thing of the house chores, neither how to use the microwave nor how to use a washing machine. that's really an example of a city gal. and things just went on from there, it was hilarious how she always pull it off. and the ending was awesome! you won't know what she had chosen. haha! anyway it was another good one! loved it! looking forward to another one soon.. ^^

movie!

i've been missing in action for a while here.. haha! well stay tuned though cause i got heaps of things happening this week. =P anyway last weekend i went out for a movie, angels and demons. it was a rather interesting movie to watch. i supposed there are alot of Dan Brown's fans out there, and cannot be denied that the story lines was so intense throughout the whole movie and i assumed it's even better in the book. rather controversial, the thing about christianity and science and perhaps cruelty? and the thing about Rome! the birth place of christianty.. the architectures and culture in the country is so unique and seriously i can't think of a perfect word to describe it. haha! i didn't get some of the details, the movie was so fast, very condensed but it was really good, the director did a great job in putting as much as possible in the movie. but i seriously didn't know that the 'good' priest was actually the bad guy!! thumbs up for ewan mcgregor! i think it's a movie that can't be missed.

surprise..

well during last thursday, after i got home from work or i should say after shopping in the city, i went back home and saw a package for me! i've got a mail and i was pretty excited about it.. haha! it was a mail from angus and robertson! before that i bought a few books from them and hence i was lucky to win one of their lucky draw, a rewards program for members.. and guess what, i won a book about europe on a shoestring by lonely planet.. haha! specially dedicate this to ed.. =P

yeah!

i was so happy to see the news today and guess what.. roger federer won the madrid title and finally won a match against rafael nadal after the australian open.. it's just such a great news! federer go go go! hahaha! just out of curiousity, i went to search for news about him and surprised myself again to know that he just got married with his fiance! he has a website and lots of news and his personal details information.. really cool! anyways hope he'll climb up the peak times again.. ^^ http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/

winter is coming!

since winter is coming, there's heaps of information telling us how to look after our skin. well since i'm not that young anymore, need to start to look after our skin! therefore i've found some notes to remind myself..^^ if not for your reference.. haha!

Caring for your skin
Avoid diuretic beverages such as coffee and wine.
Protect your lips with a SPF 30+ lip balm.
Drink a minimum of eight glasses of water each day.
Wear protective clothes, including a hat, gloves, scarf and sunglasses.
Don't sit too close to heaters.
Eat a diet rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.

When temperatures drop, so do the moisture levels in your skin. To avoid dry, tight and prematurely aged skin, moisturise twice a day. This helps to lock in nutrients and retain moisture. Apply a light moisturiser under your make-up each morning.

Hair - Protect your hair from drying winds and extreme temperature changes with an oil treatment such as Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Anti-Frizz.
