Public speaking 101

OLA AMIGOS! It's been quite some time that I last updated my blog as I'm getting more and more busy with my studies lately :( So, today I just had my first public speaking class (I registered late for this class >.<) Firstly, I'm a half banana. Banana means Chinese people that doesn't know how to speak/write in Mandarin. I did not attend Chinese school so that is why but I do learn Mandarin by myself. I know how to speak fluently and write( not very well, though). So, being a banana also meant that I'm good in another language which is English & Malay. I would proudly say my English is a LITTLE BIT better being compared to the other (such as my badass friend -.-). Hence, I always had been confident in myself for speaking English especially in public or during presentations. Today for attending my first public speaking class, I was so excited wanting to show off some of my skills in speaking. Coincidentally, the lecturer had us presenting an impro...

Taylor's vs SEGi

Being in my final year studying communication in SEGi College, presumably I have gone through college life... except for the co-curricular activities organised by the college (no, I'm not an active person and I'll tell you why later). Let me walk you through my 4 years of experience in private tertiary education of Malaysia. I started college life late, which I had a so-called gap year before entering Taylor's University when I'm 19. Don't ask me why I started so late as I really had no idea on what my future should be back then. So, I enrolled in an ADP program majoring applied science as I willed to become a cosmetic chemist. Everything was so GOOD and extraordinary when I first stepped into the latest & largest campus of Taylor's. Campus environment: CHECKED Study environment, although ADP classes are hidden under the huge staircase, but still: CHECKED Facilities (LIBRARY & food choices): CHECKED Lecturer quality: CHECKED Campus safety: CH...

REVIEW: L'Oreal's pure clay mask [Detox mask], UPDATED: [Purity mask]

Image
So, recently I bought L'Oreal's pure clay mask  at Chiang Mai's airport very last minute before missing my flight back to KL. I have not heard about this mask before as it is still not available in Malaysia but it captured my attention from the aisle. The packaging are on-spot for its minimalism and luxurious-feel. Most importantly, its tagged at 280 baht! which is about RM38 for 50ml of clay mask!!! So far, I think this is the best priced clay mask with a reputable brand. I bought the Pure Clay purity mask & Pure clay detox mask without any second thought or review checks 😁 Let's start with the purity mask: It purifies and mattifies oily skin with 3 type of clay (which is the Koalin, montmorillonite and ghassoul) + Eucalyptus.  Kaolin                : highly effective natural clay that absorbs impurities and excess sebum deeply from the skin Montmorillonite: rich in minerals and helps to eliminate imperfec...

REVIEW: Shu Uemura blanc:chroma brightening UV cushion foundation

So, this is my first make-up product review! YEAPS! Pardon me if it is not that good, I'll improve ! Shu Uemura has been popular with their flashy pop-colored falsies & cleansing oils but today I'll be talking about their blanc:chroma cushion foundation . Blanc:chroma sounds classy but I think it has something to do with brightening. And yes, I am using their cleansing oils too and I will be doing a review on this soon! Let's start! This is my very first cushion foundation as I do not make-up a lot. I did some research before buying this and made a conclusion that this is better than Innisfree, YSL, or the BB cushion pioneer: Laneige. I HAVE NOT TRIED OTHERS but here's my experience for Shu Uemura's: Coverage        : SHEER but good enough to cover small imperfections (can't cover big red pimples)                             - Buildable. Brightening     : YES - ...

Finally I'm blogging again at this crazy hour after I abandoned my last blog post while I was in high school and that's 8/9 years back! It's almost 3AM in Malaysia and I just finished checking out beauty reviews on-line *I only check out about a product when I am really interested in it  😁 So, let me just briefly introduce myself.
