KL ❤

A very delayed blog post on our trip to KL last December. I had planned to blog about this trip but left the post in drafts and totally forgot about it until now. 

We went to KL for 6 days! If I'm not wrong from 21st December to 26th December. I planned to write one blog post for every 2 days but since I forgot about it, I shall just lump all 6 days into one long blog post. 

So here goes ^^

We arrived around lunch at the KL budget terminal. I can't remember the name for it. We wanted to take a cab to our hotel but since there were 5 of us, we would have to take 2 cabs which would be quite expensive. So an alternative was to take a mini van. And that's what we did ^^

Appa's selca of us in the mini van. It came out blur as the van was rather shaky.

We stayed at The Westin which was also in the Bukit Bintang area but was on the other side of the road from Grand Milennium which stayed at the previous year (2012). It was a farther walk back to the hotel but since it was still in the same area, we could easily get to and from the various shopping malls ^^

Appa had to attend a wedding dinner on the first night there so we went out on our own. Where to? Pavilion of course! It was just opposite our hotel. We had Japanese food at Watami (I think) for dinner. And Chatime for dessert! 

Posing with our Chatime. 

The second day, we went to Restoran Sin Kee which is a restaurant run by my grand uncle. The food's great here! Check out the reviews on TripAdvisor. 'Man Fan' is the well known dish at this restaurant so if you're in KL, it's a definite must try!

Shop front.

Just arrived at the restaurant.

Table full of food!

Soup!

Home made tofu. This tastes awesome!

Chicken chop!

Appa used to work at this restaurant when he was young so it's like a trip down memory lane every time we go there. We actually had lunch and dinner there that day since we were in the area. Of course, appa was super happy to eat there twice. Actually we all were happy. Happy tummys, happy people ^^ 

Sister and I before dinner.

We went to Mid Valley mega mall that afternoon and as usual it was so crowded! We didn't do much shopping there except getting our nails done. 

I can't remember the name of the shop where we got our nails done but they had 2 outlets in the mall itself. It seemed like they had a lot of customers as we had to wait for about an hour before it was our turn to get our nails done. 

On the third day, we went to this Japanese ramen restaurant at Pavilion that my sister found out about from reading Audrey fourfeetnine's blog. It was the best ramen I've ever tasted! 

There was a lunch special so we all decided to order from the 5 options available. I wanted the special ramen that had only 50 bowls available but sadly, all the 50 bowls were served by the time we placed our orders so I ended up ordering this spicy ramen. It turned out to be really delicious and not that spicy. Hehehe. Totally enjoyed it! My mouth is watering as I type this~ The soup was really 장난 아니야 (not a joke)! 

After lunch, we decided to shop around Pavilion.

Another random selca with the sister.

We were actually quite excited to see all these LINE characters around the mall. LINE has been our latest favourite instant messaging application. I actually use LINE more than Whatsapp now. Why? Just because LINE has these crazy cute stickers! 

That's me posing with Brown.

Christmas tree with all the LINE characters!

Taking an awkward picture with Brown and Cony.

Another awkward picture with Moon.

They had a popup store set up during this period so of course, being fans, we had no choice but to find this popup store! 

The wall decorated with figurines.

I see no difference!

I wanted to buy something from the popup store but didn't see anything that I liked. So we ended up getting James things for Vanessa. Hahaha. They should have more of these things here! But I guess LINE is more popular in Malaysia and in Thailand? Not many people use it here. Shall start promoting LINE to my friends. Hehehe. 

I can't remember what we did for the rest of the day except walking around the mall. 

Another selca with the other sister this time cos we were bored waiting outside the shop.

The Christmas atmosphere in Malaysia never fails to surprise me! The malls are always decorated nicely every year! I remember we used to have that here but we seldom see such elaborate decorations! What happened the atmosphere here? I suppose it's because it's expensive to decorate shopping malls nowadays? 

On Christmas eve, we went to a western restaurant near our hotel for lunch. We had steak! Ever since Boston, I really like steak. Before that, I guess I've not fully appreciated steak. Now I love it! I have it medium well done just like Kyungsoo. 

Looks delicious? It was.

Us at the entrance of the restaurant.

I can't remember what we did on Christmas eve except for the steak and of course, Christmas shopping ^^ Dad got my sister a pair of shoes from Timberland for Christmas. I casually said that I wanted a watch as we walked past Fossil and guess what? My dad got me a watch for Christmas.

I totally love it! I love the font and the sun and moon thing. It's simple and yet I think it has the preschool teacher feel to it. It'll be perfect for teaching morning, afternoon and evening? Only that the stars on the watch start appearing around 4pm hehehe. 

On Christmas day, we went to our grandaunt's house in PJ! Our aunt and uncle came too so we got to play with our adorable cousins! They're growing up so quickly! But it was fun to see them and we were privileged to hear them sing for us! Such cuties!! ♥

That's us with the youngest cousin! He's frowning probably because he was wondering why was he appearing on the phone. 

Hehehe cutie ♥

Unfortunately we didn't get to take pictures with the other cousins. We shall do that the next time we go there! When will that be though~ 

That pretty much sums up our entire trip in KL! I probably left out some parts here and there. I shouldn't have waited to write this post >< But all in all, it was a fun trip! Always good to spend time with family and not forgetting eating good food! Yums! Hehehe. 

So... Where will my next trip be? Korea? Hehehe.

EXO Baekhyun's Eye Makeup from SMA ❤

If you're an EXO fan and have been following their news this year, you would have realized that Byun Baekhyun has been getting some really nice makeup looks for the various music award shows they have attended. 

This look that Baekhyun had for the Seoul Music Awards was definitely one that had everyone going crazy.

(Credits to Polarlight.)

(Credits to owner.)

It's definitely a daring look to have on especially since it consists pink shades and thick eyeliner. 

Products I used to achieve this look: 

- Skinfood Good Afternoon Peach Green Tea BB Cream

- Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil Shiny Black Pearl

- Etude House Look at my Eyes Cafe PK003 Berry Berry Soda

- Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake Eyes PK001 Sweet Berry Lemon Mousse

And here's how I did it:

14th day of CNY ❤

Since the intensive weeks of school are over, I've more time to blog now ^^ shall just blog about Thursday and Friday! 

Francine's friends, Vanessa and Michelle came over for dinner on Thursday. I took half day of from school as I was MC so I had some time to rest before they came over. 

Mum cooked food and it was so yummy! 

Mushroom chicken, beef stew, cod fish, some vegetable and soup! 

Everyone loved my mum's beef stew!

Group photo with the table covered with food! 

Dessert was good too! Cream puffs and eclairs!

Of course had to take a selfie with the best bimbz! Mich insisted taking it with my sister's bottle. #hellokitty

Of course, it was the second last day of CNY so... Hehehe.

Some photos Vanessa took ^^

Haha friendly game of blackjack. 

Selfie! 

The last day of CNY was also valentine's day! I don't remember celebrating valentine's day in school last year but it was during a school day this year! Goodies and treats were passed around class the whole day by sweet classmates and of course the wonder women! 

Blue rose from PQ, cookies from K, cream puff from E, etc etc~ so sweet y'all &hearts;

Met Michelle (again) for dinner at block 85! The food there is insanely delicious! I've no idea why I haven't discovered this place sooner. In the past, I would only get to eat block 85's chwee kueh once and awhile when my grandma went there.

I finally got to try the bak chor mee. I usually have my bak chor mee dry with ketchup and vinegar so I was a little upset when this stall didn't sell dry bak chor mee. But oh boy, it's the best bak chor mee soup I've ever tasted! 

Even the noodles were delicious! Haha. Typing this post at this hour just makes me wanna go grab some bak chor mee.

Ahh salivating... 

Sigh I haven't had any makeup on in so many days >< I think it should be safe a finally apply some makeup tomorrow! Didn't get to wear makeup on valentine's day so I didn't come up with a valentine's look. But I'll try it out tomorrow!

xoxo, Fid &hearts;

Makeup talk: New products + Future giveaway ❤

I should really be doing school work but here am I writing another blog post for the recent makeup products I've purchased ^^

I know I really should stop buying but I can't help myself. Especially when it comes to Etude House. I was just intending to walk into and walk out but the salesperson approached me and so I gave into my temptations. Hehehe.

I ended up getting this lip tint. Fresh Cherry Tint in PK 002 Cherry Hot Pink. It was recommended by the salesperson as I was looking for something natural. 

Of course, Etude House's packaging never fails to impress. It's always so cute!

It has a fuzzy applicator!

The colour does look pretty natural after applying. It is a little bright but still pretty close to my natural lip colour. What I like most about this product is that I feel like I'm not wearing anything at all! So it's very good for lazy days or days when there's a need to rush. 

The next few items were all bought at different times. There was a sale at Etude House for certain items at the end of the last year. So I ended up getting the two Drawing Show Creamy Pencil in RD 304 After Blossom & BE103 Creamy Romance. 

The most recent buy would be the Maybeline Color Show Crayon Kohl in Ocean Blue.

Here are the swatches of the three eyeliners. 

I got the burgundy one as burgundy and blossom makeup was the winter trend (though there's no four seasons here) and I got the gold-ish one as a highlighter for days when I feel lazy to do proper makeup. 

I would use the burgundy eyeliner to line the outer side of my eyes after lining half in black. So it's just the wing part that would have color. I have yet to try the blue eyeliner but I would probably be using it in the same way as the burgundy one where I just have the wing in color ^^ but of course, when the occasion calls for it, I would line my upper lid with the burgundy liner. It looks great too! 

Hehe so there's my quick makeup update! And I've an announcement, although I don't have many readers (or rather I don't know who's reading) I'm thinking of doing a small giveaway as I have collected many samples from Etude House ^^ if you're interested in a giveaway, let me know!
