my face

I tried many facial products, from the most expensive to the cheapest because I have a very sensitive skin. **Yes, my whole body is hypersensitive**. I could not afford to have direct contact with anything that contains soda/produce bubble for my skin will break as if it just being poured with acid. YA. That serious. it hurts.

But, after I had my first son, the level of sensitivity became lower and it can tolerate some bubbly products (including Axion) **yay! now I can do my dishes!!** and some baby products. During my pregnancies, it was disastrous. The first one : the most terrible skin allergy i ever experienced. Lotsa sick leaves for I cant stand the itchiness/pain. The second baby : Quite bad but I can stand it. And right now, I took extra caution for my third pregnancy, for any allergy could be worse during this term. I religiously applied lotion and keep my body moist all the time. Alhamdulillah. No sign of serious allergy. yet. One bottle of lotion per week :o)

From now on, I only can use OLAY facial cleanser. for my face *duh*. ONLY OLAY. And some soap (dettol *haha* and Mark & Spencer). By promoting their brands, I hope to get free supply of the said products for the rest of my life. Does Corporate Service Responsibility rings any bell?

independent

i choose to be independent in doing my work. I surf the Internet for things that I find hard to comprehend. I go through old files to search for the history. And I never stop until I get the information I am searching for. But I never asked my colleague to get the relevant files and put it on my table. Or e-mail me what ever he/she have in their computer. Without taking much effort.

I recently had an encounter with THAT kind. So fussy and he seems like he could not do single work without anyone else spoon feeding him. It was so irritating as he always told everybody on how perfect he is.

He was very outspoken. I saw how he could SAY what ever he wanted to say to who ever he want. But he never do that to me because I had sent some signal of "never mess with me" the first day we met. Anyway, seems he was so fussy today and I couldn't stand it for another hour since I have urgent chores to do... so I choose to give him a silent treatment. Starting from... NOW.

june already?

i noticed how long had i neglected my blog.

for me, sometimes (mark this), blogging is a waste of time. we will try to create out-of-norm situation everyday, snap some photos and paste it in our blog, just to show how interesting our life is or how creative we are in dealing with issues of life, pain, eh?... or... surf for cool websites with cool pics and some useful info (well, at least useful for ourselves), and put it in our blog, just to reflect how resourceful we are.

I am not attacking anyone. People have their own ways expressing themselves. Some might shows their wittiness, some shows their motherhood side and some just say what ever they wanted to say as long as they are not convicted under any related Act regarding the freedom of speech. I don't read others' blog because most of them are cheesy. Seriously, WHO ON EARTH wanted to know what you are wearing tonight, while you go out with your girlfriends, eating this and that at some mamak stall, bla bla bla. Gosh, so lame la wei! But when I leave a comment in your blog, then you are excluded. Because leaving comment means you really discussing on something and I want to contribute.

I am just felt irritated with the fact that someone said that telling others how 'interesting' my life is, working with Datuk-Datuk, playing golf with my husband, doing international work... is actually makes me look like a show-off... I swear I didn't tell THAT MUCH that can make others puke. They are exaggerating? Probably :o)

If my life is actually LIKE THAT without any sugar and spices added to it, then, I would say my posts before were a success. I don't need sugar to grab attention. My life is LIKE THAT whether you like it or not. I am in a different league right now, doing diplomatic works and befriended with posh community. Well, maybe the then is one of the turned off (for me) but that is the price you have to pay when you are in this field.

Well, you choose to be in where you are right now. Don't complaint.

Wanna play golf?

thanks

was watching TV just now. . out of oscar spirit, i wanna thank :

my husband for taking care of the kids and give me time for myself to study for my exam. He fed and bathe them, took them out and make sure they're asleep before he keep me company until early morning. He will not sleep and leave me study all by myself.

i was so tense back then. he asked me out and we bought a couple of golf thing for lady (is it golf club or golf stick? - i really don't know), a child's car seat (we already have 3 - i have no idea why we agreed to bought that), a discman (again, no idea), couple of rubber thing for the kids to play with (50 cent each) and HE CHARGED IT TO MY CREDIT CARD. I really like it when he did that.

my superior because he continue with my work at the office. something that we've started last year and hopefully it will end before this year ends. i am glad the report is in a good hand for i don't have to worry about work until next month.

my fren who keep SMS me everyday till late at night to tell me that she dozed off while studying and she don't think she could complete the syllabus for the exam. It somehow boost my mood. But more importantly, it makes my day. we never communicate this much until this moment. This exam brings us together :o)

butterscotch sauce

I always like butterscotch ice cream. Here how you can make you own butterscotch sauce and enjoy it with your vanilla ice cream.

Melt a cup of coarse sugar until it turns light brown (as in caramel). Stir continuously. Then add desired amount of cream (or fresh milk). Stir well until it thicken. Then, you can take it off the fire. Don't overdo it or else it'll become bitter. Keep it refrigerated. I keep my butterscotch sauce in a clear air tight jar in a refrigerator.

How to enjoy it :
1. Pour two to three teaspoon of cold butterscotch sauce into a glass. Put three scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of it. Then, pour another batch of the sauce on top. Sprinkle crushed cornflakes, chopped almond or dried fruit on top of it. Enjoy your ice cream!

2. You can use it to flavour your jelly.

Aggrandize

(uh GRAN dyze)

Definition: (verb) To exaggerate one’s accomplishments; to make something seem greater.

Example: The minister’s public relations staff always aggrandized his accomplishments, hoping to increase his reputation and popularity.

I always aggrandized my day to make my blog more appealing :o)

Synonyms: boost, commend, dignify

classic

[I just came back from an annual dinner which I was awarded with "THE BEST DRESS" or the prom queen, as they announced it. Can't stop smiling until now]

Suddenly i really like to listen to classical music. I can't get enough of beethoven, tchaikovsky, mozart, chopin and the rest of the gang. OMG, it was so relaxing and refreshing! (except for sugar plum fairy - I will feel frightened/depressed whenever I hear that). Am I turning into a complicated being slowly? I rather not answer that. I told my friend that and she asked me, "SO, do you like to listen to michaelangelo as well?" (yeah, very resourceful). Emm.. do I have to answer that or do I just have to let her discover the truth herself? I was to me like... I tell someone I love to eat corn, celery, strawberry and peach and that somebody will ask, "do you like to eat a lorry as well?".
