'NEWS' is not a new word to the society- by least; it should not be a new word to you. Where do we get news from? NEWSPAPER. But... wait, its year 2017 and we have something called internet. The internet (or cyberspace) is free for anyone to use which made us all an author and this allows massive dissemination of information. With or without verification, accountability and independence, everyone can write about anything and everything, whether it is a praise or pure condemnation.  Back then when we only rely on printed medium (eg: newspaper) to retrieve news, no reader will ever doubt the reliability of the news story that they have just read, or at least the word 'fake news' never crosses their minds. Why? Because the news in newspapers is written by true journalists and filtered by editors. Well, some printed news might not be as ‘true’ but it is still better than online news (such as social media and 3 rd party websites, NOT official online news outlets) i...

Morning @ Plawangan Sembalun  It has been a few good year since my last camping and now I am standing at the gate to the great Mt. Rinjani, an active baby volcano in Lombok, Indonesia. Starring at the then not-so-high mountain, I don’t know what to expect but feeling excited as if butterflies were fluttering in my stomach. As we walk from flat plains filled with thatch grasses as tall as me until descending down the lush rainforest, I see no end but only dots of striking colours of my group mates’ trekking bags. We followed the trail from wind blowing morning breeze to blinding sun and to chilly sunset above the clouds. The panorama was never as rewarding as anything I had seen in my travel experiences. The stars were so bright and sparkly as if we could reach it when we stretch our arms. We even tried taking photos of the Milky Way but there were too many disruptions during the shot, unfortunately. For 4 good days and 3 freezing nights, the best thing that I ach...

Everyone has been saying that the main factor of skin problem is that our skin is dehydrated or not well moisturised. That is very much true, I believe. So the other day when I went to Pavillion for shopping, (while I was hunting for a good moisturiser), I dropped by Shu Uemura to sharpen my eyebrow pencil. I discovered that Shu Uemura had a new moisturiser called the maxi: hydrability . There's 2 types of moisturiser from the maxi: hydrability range: 1) Maxi: Hydrability moisture essence-in gel . 2) Maxi: Hydrability moisture essence-in cream . So, I got a few samples for the moisture essence-in gel which lasted me for about 5 days for 2 application each day. I was so excited to try it on and so have I and here's my verdict: COOL for the texture. The texture of the moisturiser is somewhat like a blurring primer with silicon-y feeling. I couldn't check the exact ingredients as I am illiterate in Japanese and this range of products are nowhere to...

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...

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...

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...

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 - ...
