    In The Groove Buys + Alot of Rambling

    MAC's In the Groove Collection left me wanting so bad and I did some damage to the pocket.
    This was a collective haul, I got these on 2 occasions.

    Ok so, first story: On Friday morning when the collection launched in Singapore, I had to be in school by 11am for PAL Programme which is a CCA-thing for lower primary. And knowing how hyped and sought-after Stereo Rose was, I didn't want to end up disappointed again like the To The Beach collection where I missed out on the Highlight Powder and the Hipness Blush.

    So umm.... I woke up early and went to Tangs Orchard before school. Yes, I admit I was one of those who waited for the store to open so I could rush in like a mad woman and grab that *preciousssss*. But I swear, there were 5 other women waiting around with me and once the doors opened, they started swatching and bought 3 Stereo Roses at one go!

    I ended up with a Stereo Rose MSF, Band of Roses Mineralize Blush and a huge smile on my face at school.




    Group Picture! Top from left to right -> Petticoat MSF, Stereo Rose MSF, Band of Roses Mineralize Blush, Jazzed Lipstick, Club Eyeshadow (not from collection) and Right Image Cremesheen Glass.

    So now you're wondering, I got 2 odd things and the rest just fell out of the sky and landed on my lap? Prrftt. I held out until the pay came in on Saturday and dragged D to JB Aeon Tebrau to haul some more! Why JB? Coz I wanted to get an empty palette to depot some shadows. Oh and coz we wanted to eat Sushi King!!

    Ok I digress, pictures.

    Jazzed: This is my first cremesheen lipstick and I'm beginning to think it's my favourite finish! Lustres are a little opaque on my extremely pigmented lips and Satins tend to dry out. This one left a waxy feeling on my lips and it just made it real smooth and moisturizing. Havn't tried Frosts nor Amplified though.

    Two lovely ladies trying to catch my attention. I love you both, no worries!

    Stereo Rose -> Coral and not shimmery which is awesome coz I hate shimmer in my blush.
    Petticoat -> Frosted pink with raspberry veins, I think I got a good amount of veins in mine so it showed up on my skintone thank god. Not much gold thrown in though, but I like it that way = less shimmer.



    Band of Roses since it's been described as a dupe for Dollymix. I've always wanted Dollymix but never got around to purchasing it.

    And last which is not from the collection but I just picked up anyways was a Satin eyeshadow in Club. A brownish bronze with green reflects.

    Ok story number 2: At Aeon Tebrau, D and I went to the MAC store, me with minimal makeup coz we've been out since early morning to do some errands and it was almost 8pm when we reached JB (MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM AT CAUSEWAY!)

    So I got served by a very nice Chinese lady and she helped with my purchase. I wanted to get 'On the Scene' lipgloss as well as a mineralize eyeshadow trio but that lipgloss was OOS and the eyeshadows were not brought in at JB's MAC.

    Ok so nevermind, two less items mean less money spent! :) I asked for the eyeshadow palette and it was also OOS. D said, nevermind just pick out something else since we're already here and I changed a specific sum of dollars into ringgit to get my MAC fix.
    And so I went to the eyeshadow stand and started swatching neutrals coz you never can have enough neutrals right?

    And this malay guy with funky hair in a ponytail came over and asked which colour I'm looking for in kind of a bossy tone, like he wants to rid of me from the store. When only D and I were the only ones there. I asked for Wood-winked.

    And he went, "Oh we don't have that colour here, it's limited edition kot?" And I was kind of shocked when he said that, since when was Wood-winked LE?
    So I went, "Umm...no, I don't think it's limited edition..."
    And he pressed on, "It must be limited edition. Or else I would have found the colour for you already from the stand."

    Fact is. He wasn't even near the stand when he threw that comment to me. He was at the cashier table.

    And D said my face just changed totally. It's one thing to not know your products, but it's totally another to insult a customer and insinuating that I don't know crap about makeup.
    And that said, they didn't have Patina either. If I asked, he'll probably say it's also LE!

    I was so pissed, I just ignored him and continued searching. And the previous lady whom served me came over and thank god for her, really. She made the effort to recommend me Club instead which she claimed was her favourite brown shadow. And so I got it....it took me another hour after leaving the MAC store and bitching to D before I calmed myself down enough to enjoy my dinner at Sushi King.

    Ok, rant over. Sorry for the lengthy post and I apologise if I sound spoilt or something..

    Anyway, a shout-out to Vonvon from Vonvon's Interests! Thank you for your advise when I left a tag on your message board! And I hope ur MAC store brings in the mineralize eyeshadow trios soon coz I know ur holding out for those! :)

    Over the school holidays did you guys go anywhere?
    I did! The family went to Trengganu following a tour group for 4D/2N. First night was spent on the coach and it was rough, I probably got 2hours of sleep max coz it was an uncomfortable bumpy ride.

    Trengganu is quite a strong islamic state in Malaysia and there were certain rules. My dad had to remove his cap when we went shopping at Mydin Wholesaler coz the guard said that he's potraying himself as a "Yahudi" by doing that and they wouldn't grant him access to the store. I thought that was pretty strict and I was quite shocked.
    Other than that, Trengganu was awesome. The FOOD especially which is no wonder I gained a ridiculous amount of weight! Even though simple, back to basics food was pretty much what they ate, it was memorable maybe bcoz we're too used to gravy and spices in our Nasi Padang.

    We ate a chockful of Lemang with Serunding, Keropok Lekor, Fish Keropok and their rice dishes are very simple.
    They get a plate of rice, a whole fried fish/ikan bakar, sambal belacan (awesome over there! Not spicy at all and just really addictive) and ulam(raw veggies). And that's all they eat every single time I sit down at a warung with the family and look around.
    Places of interest-wise, we went to Taman Tamadun Islam which is a park that recreates replicas of significant architectures in Islam from all over the world in a smaller scale. We have mosques from China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia...The Taj Mahal from India...Masjid Nabawi..
    Other places like a Lemang Shop, Pasar Payang which is like a marketplace since Trengganu doesn't have a shopping mall (U MUST BE KIDDING ME), Kuantan Mega Mall, several beaches, batik centres and Masjid Kristal. Stayed at Awana Kijal. From here on, random pictures here we go! Just a few....I'm pretty wiped out and I don't think anyone is interested also hahaa.
    That's like 1% of all the pictures I took but I'm lazzzyyy. And I used my Think Pink Bath Bomb! But that's a separate entry all together. No one really cares, I'm just excited by myself haha. Ok bye!

    I 've had my Lush Cherry Popped! (Warning: Picture Heavy)

    Elder sis just came back from Australia and she helped me bring home some goodies! I'm not even going to try to decipher the smell of these stuff, I can't describe them for nuts! I thought I was good at describing? But the scents from Lush are onto a whole new level, coz I think it's really a mixture of so many scents together. But I will give you the description stated on the paper wrapping for each item. Have not used any of them yet so I can't comment much. Enough rambling, pictures please!

    I shit rainbows just looking at the paper bag. My Lush experience is about to begin!

    But first, this was for Mummy but I took a pic of it first. Sultana of Soap, it had raisins and nut-things on the top crust.

    Mine mine mine and I'm not sharing! :D

    Honey I Washed The Kids Solid Perfume. This little bugger is really concentrated! Just smelling it from the tin made me dizzy. But I'm guessing it will lend a more subtle fragrance if used lightly at pulse points.

    Rehab Shampoo. Ok now this wasn't my fault! I requested for the smallest bottle but elder sis got me a huge 500g bottle. AUD$35! Can see the comparison with my hand sanitizer. Can I just say, this smells like baby massage oil~Malay people, we call it Minyak Telon!

    Oh side note, look at my care-bearie display!
    *note to D: SEE IT'S NOT A LOW-CLASS BAKUL K! IT'S A CLASSY RATTAN BASKET THAT I STACK SO VERY THE NICELY*
    Put strung out hair into Rehab. Featuring oils for extra strength, enzymes for cleansing, seaweed for softness and essential oils for detoxing and toning your scalp.

    Think Pink Bath Ballistic. I asked for a mini one but elder sis got me a full size one... It was AUD$7.95. When I took it out, it crumbled powder all over the place! Will use this during my Trengganu Trip in 2days time. Bathtub fun here I come! Would be nice if I could share the tub with D though.... *naughty naughty ar!*
    Darlings! Bathe in sweet, fragrant pinkness with a shattering of confetti hearts.
    -->Ouuu confetti hearts! Will take pic of my bath when I use it to see if it really does happen.

    Next up would be soaps! Lovely lovely EXPENSIVE soaps!

    Porridge Soap. AUD$7.92 I loved this scent the best! Reminded me of vanilla+caramel biscuits.
    The very best way to start the day: A helping of porridge oats with lashings of delicious molasses. Ideal for sensitive skin, irresistible to everyone else.

    Rockstar Soap. AUD$8.85 Love the pale pink colour, love-hate relationship with the smell. Abit overpowering for me sniffing it straight from the soap.
    Sing as you wash and be a star in your own bathroom.

    The Godmother Soap. AUD$10.56 Second favourite scent like spicy blackcurrant. Has several dustings of purple glitter.
    The Godmother. 60% of you wash your hands with washing up liquid! Use this instead.
    --> Clever use of words, ironically explains why it's called the godmother.


    Honey I Washed The Kids Soap. AUD$11.38 Just had to get this to see what the hype was all about. Sure it looks yummy with the honeycomb on top...smell-wise it didn't blow me away. Didn't smell vanilla or caramel nor honey for that matter as described by people. Hmm... we'll see when I use it in the shower. Has liberal dusting of gold glitter.
    Mouthwatering honey soap for washing you, the kids, the dog and the granny.

    Figs and Leaves Soap was given as a sample. Don't quote me on this, but I thought it smelled really exotic like an Egyptian scent. And like, 'ulama-ulama Islam'. Clean and musky and err...religious-smelling. And leaves, for real? That black thing on the soap really is a leaf! The rest of the soap looks like grains of rice. Interesting, really.


    Got a gift box with purchase of AUD$50 and above. The Sparkle Box.


    Did Christmas come early? :D


    Two items: Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar and Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly


    Gold and silver micro-glitters in this massage bar. Smooth this over your skin and you'll be all glittery in no time!

    Crush it and smooth all over your body in the shower to soften your skin. Has purple glitter and the colour here looks like ribena against strong light. Actual colour is the one on top, deep indigo.

    And to finish this post, little sisters dragged me to Candy Empire and I got them the bag of random chocolates at the back among other things like gummies and Ovaltines. I slipped in some jelly beans and a turkish delight for myself. Sigh, I'm officially broke.

    STUFF!!!


    1. Jasmine Body Spray from Body Shop.
    Coz during that Johor incident, I brought mine there and the whole bag got stolen. So I got a new one...I love the smell and D does too.

    2. Random keychain.
    These were going for RM1 each! I got some for my sisters and mom too. Lots of designs to choose from. From the shop at the overhead bridge that links Berjaya to Sungei Wang side.

    3. Felt Rose Ring Box
    D surprised me with rings! And got them in this pretty rose stalk/box! We were looking for couple rings and we came across cute ring boxes at Couple Lab Illuma and I said I wanted one! And he surprised one for me! And it didn't come empty, it came with rings!


    The heart shape is a hole in the ring in between our names and our anniversary date was engraved on the inner side. Sweeettttttt.

    4. Obviously fake Chanel glasses.
    From Petaling Street, D got us a great deal! 3 glasses for RM50...I got my huge ones, got my dad and D got himself one too, Oakley-like ones.
    5. Fake Guess Wallet.
    Meow! How pretty and elaborate-looking is that? The blue was such a striking colour, I just got to have it. D marked it down for me from RM60->RM40->RM25.
    Snakeskin anyone? Fake wan laaa! I love my new wallet, it looks expensive when it really isn't! And material isn't flimsy, it's quite sturdy and I forsee myself using the wallet for times to come.

    6. From Petaling also, I got a fake Loewe bucket bag.
    So pretty! I get compliments on the bag whenever I bring it to work! The badges on the bag makes it look current and the space in the bag is HUGE even though it looks small.

    7. Platform heels
    Got it for RM29.90 at Berjaya Times, D picked it up for me. I told him I want something I can wear to school as well.....Wore this to clubbing that night and I wore it again yesterday when the family went to Tepak Sireh for dinner. Comfortable and strappy, I'm happy with the purchase.
    8. Rimmel's Lipstick in Dreamy
    Can't remember how much this was, RM26.90 I think? Got it at KLCC Watsons on the way back from Aquaria when we spotted Tao Kae Noi Tom Yum seaweed and had to get a pack.
    Thought of getting Airy Fairy again since it got stolen too, but I wanted to give another colour a try. Colour is a frosted pinky mauve. It looks ok on me but I can't help thinking I look old, just coz my mother favours frosty lipsticks and it's a mental thing ya' know?


    Stuff from Elianto includes:
    9. Pecan Blush Pot. Got stolen so got a new one. End of story.
    10. Empty four pan palette for new shadows.
    11. Eyeshadows in...hmmmmm I forgot! I know the puple is Wine Purple. The other two I totally forgot! -.-
    12. Last but not least, my anklet that I got from a Wholesale Silver retailer; Silver Star at Sungei Wang. Got this at RM39 i think.
    So those are the stuff I got on the trip! I was more estatic at the food we ate rather than the stuff we bought HAHA. (Voice-over: SUSHI KING ZOMG)

    KL Trip: Day 4
    Last day!

    Nothing much to report, again we woke up late and had a krispy kreme breakfast. Tsk tsk not healthy. Then spent the rest of the time packing up and stuffing all our purchases into our bags... We checked out and claimed our deposits, left our bags with the concierge and went shopping for last minute stuff.

    Got my anklet at Sungei Wang....of course D had to get his fried banana BALLS haha. We walked a long way to have lunch at somewhere around Lot10 i think. D says the chicken rice is good.


    Ordered half-chicken and two plates of rice....calamari rings and my kangkong! It was good, nothing memorable but it was a decent meal. We couldn't finish the chicken obviously though D is a big chicken-eater, but we got through most of it :)
    Then we went back to Berjaya for a last minute game of bowling. Two games actually. HAHA. And after getting high and all that shiz, we got a cup of Baskin N' Robbins Bubblegum ice cream and went back for our bags.
    The concierge couldn't find our bags! And neither could we! And i was about to succumb into my panicky mode when D spotted them behind some other bags. Coz we were about to be late for our bus and I was so scared we might get left behind.
    We quickly went to where our bus should be waiting, and there was a bus waiting. But we were supposed to check in our presence first at the East Wing hotel lobby. So D told me to wait for him and he quickly ran up the slope to the lobby to check us in. And turns out, that isn't our bus. Our bus is yet to come -.-
    A few minutes later, a nicer looking double-decker bus came and woohoo it was ours! And so we boarded and made ourselves comfy. D started getting worried about coming back to Singapore coz of his dream last night. And his sombre mood kinda affected the atmosphere and I myself got worried too. But everything was ok, it was typical of him to think of worst case scenarios when in actuality, it isn't that bad!
    So we breezed through the checkpoint and blahblah, took the mrt home, said our goodbyes and returned back to our families.
    So that's the low-down of our trip! Did I bore you guys?
    I love him even more after the trip....it really did bring us closer and we learnt so much about each other...He learnt to be patient coz his gf takes hours to get ready, I learnt to trust him with my 'life', that he knows what he's doing and I should let him take the lead...
    And we both explored our love for Japanese food and sports....it was awesome.
    Let's plan another trip!

    KL Trip: Day 3

    Whoa, how long have I procrastinated?
    Day three we skipped breakfast again. Talk about wasteful I mean, how often do you get to eat buffet breakfast?

    We got the krispy kremes out and ate some before leaving the room. We went to KLCC! Took the "overhead" LRT from Imbi station to Dang Wangi, cross over and took the "underground" Kelana Jaya line to KLCC.



    Met a caucasian couple who got lost at Dang Wangi and we told them to follow us since we're going to KLCC too. We're such good people, no?

    Once we reached, we had lunch! Wanted to eat at the food court for once, but bad timing it was exactly lunch time for staff as well so every food joint was crowded. We ended up at Sushi King again and I ate a set meal this time round. D of course got his Piri Piri Chicken -.- in his defense, that set was delicious too. I got a Tempura Udon set. No picture this time lol my phone died on me. Pictures taken with bf's phone.

    After lunch, we went to Aquaria! This was my birthday gift to him plus the fish spa. We got in at a MyKad rate coz I guess we looked Malaysian? Well I don't mind being compared to KL-Malaysians coz most of em' got styleeee. Haha.
    After a visit to the aquarium, we went for the fish spa which is included in the package I took. We got in for RM128 (MyKad rate) for two I think, Aquaria + Aquazone(fish therapy).

    First time for both of us and we spent the first 15 mins just staring at the fish coz we were scared to put our feet in the water. You dip a toe in it, and these fishes just rise up and come towards your toe in a whole school. It was scary, it's a mental thing.

    If you don't know what a fish spa is, you put your feet into a pool of water with fishes in it. A specific breed of fish that feed on dead skin cells and so in actual fact, you are paying to give 'food' to their fishes. Humph. But you end up with clean feet so....win-win situation. HAHA.




    I overcame it by shutting my eyes and just took the plunge. The fish were small so the suctions were not really hurtful, it was just ticklish. The huge-ass ones were the one you gotta be careful of. You can feel their teeny bites and I think some people get off of things like that? D tried the huge ones in a separate pool with a couple of other people but I was too chicken. Feet looked and felt clean after the 'treatment' and then we made our way back to Berjaya Times.

    Took a cab with an agreed RM10 but the roads were quite jammed up and the driver asked for an extra RM2 once we've reached. We didn't have change and the driver had the gall to be pissed off with us and told us to alight NOW. Prfft, we're never going to see him again anyway so yea we alighted and forgot about it. I kinda got into a squabble with D coz I felt we should've gave him a little more but D was right...we didn't have the change so just forget it..

    And it didn't help that he was like a driver from hell! He zoomed at high speed and overtook dangerously, we were so scared for our lives! All because he wanted to get his RM10 worth.

    Cabs from Malaysia will go by the meter but quote you a price a little higher so that they can get a little profit to put into their own sneaky pockets. When we arrived at Berjaya, meter was at RM9.40 and so he demanded an extra RM2 so that he can have a little more profit than just 60cents...capiche?

    Anyway, we went shopping for stuff coz we planned on something that night, I got myself a pair of platform sandals, accessories....and I got makeup just coz haha. D got himself a shirt and shoes.

    After getting what was neccessary, got Wendy's takeaway for dinner, D got their burger which was delicious btw, I got just a simple sour cream and chives baked potato which was meh. Didn't finish it. D watched a vcd that he just bought, Police Academy i believe? While I took a nap coz I knew I won't last the night. Coz......................we're going clubbing!

    I know, I know, I've never clubbed before, I'm not that kind of person and neither is D. He clubbed before, but he doesn't anymore coz he clubs to socialize with his friends, not bcoz he likes the act of it. And I begged him to bring me to a club so I can experience it. It's a I-have-to-experience-it-once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing so that I can officially say I've done it, but I don't like it.



    I wore lash falsies with glitter on them! But prrftt not much difference in the picture.
    Well, it was ok....We went to Beach Club at Jalan P.Ramlee and the music was loud and current, alot of prostitutes around and they're really hungry for meat...public kissing and groping..nothing really special but I'm glad I went. D and I danced a little, but we sat and enjoyed the music most of the time. We didn't drink if you were wondering! I had Orange Juice and D had his Coke.
    We stayed for an hour and a half, and cabbed back to the hotel....I played my nintendo and then we slept AND THAT'S THE END OF DAY THREE!

    Ps: Anyone noticed how much I love the silver hairband I got?
