Potato Honey Mask

I just tried a new face mask today which is potato and honey face mask. I used potato because last time I used it before. My sis saw it in the magazine and I used sliced potato on my face and it's so smooth after that (you can rub the potato on your skin 1st)

So what I did today was my usual facial routine.
1. Scrub or wash face (wash face if already scrub the previous day)
2. Steam face
3. Press out pimples
4. Scrub with sugar (not a good idea because must wait so long for swelling on face to reduce and it hurts. should scrub before pressing out pimple)
5. Put potato and honey mask for 30 mins and rinse off (pound 1 whole potato and use only the juice and mix it with honey and apply on plain sheet mask then onto face or directly on face, any how you like)
6. Tone and moisturize

The result,my skin is so smooth, clear and not dry after this. I feel it's much smoother than any other mask I've used. I used to like Amway deep cleansing mask (clay mask). The effect is almost the same as this potato honey mask but my skin is dryer and not so clean with the Amway mask. 

My money, my problem!!!!

I told my mum I bought La Senza bra, she immediately said it's no good. WTF!!! She nvr tried it before ok. She will never try new bras. She don't dare to take risks at all. She said I should have waited for her to bring me out to buy and sign my dad's card. HMPH!! SHUT UP!!!! My mum will never let me buy La Senza even if I'm with her and she's not paying. She will insist Triumph or Wacoal or Marks and Spencer. She better stop taking crap. I'm the one wearing the bra and washing it, not her. If I ask for expensive things, she will say it's too expensive, but if she sees it, it's cheap. If I buy cheap things, she will say it's low quality and not worth. The way she spend is much more not worth ok. She buys clothes that are on sale and never wears them. I wear all the clothes I buy and all the things I buy. So what the hell should I buy now?

It's not like my mum gives allowance now. She doesn't even pay for my shopping anymore. All she does is sign my dad's card. It's my god damn money. I handle it. I don't even spend compulsively. I only buy the things I need and the things that I really want. The word sale cannot trick me into buying things I do not need. I never buy clothes that looks ok, I only buy clothes that looks nice and above.

La Senza with love

Today, I bought 3 new La Senza bras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I'm so happy!!!!!!! I always wanted La Senza bras since so long ago. I hardly go in the shop last time but many months ago, I went in and the bras were on sale. It's RM165 for 3 pieces, only RM55 per piece!!!! So cheap. Don't compare with those RM20 bras because those are not good quality ones and cannot fit well.

I will so buy La Senza bras when they have sale again. I will keep it for Chinese New Year. I always wanted them every since their last offer but didn't buy them because I don't find the need for them. But I buy things and I will wear it, not keep only because sayang. Like that keep the money much better. My friends can buy it at cheaper price. Haih, their timing must be good. They buy the bras for only like RM40 per piece.

All these 3 bras are RM165. The promotion is 3 for RM165.
There are many varieties. 

This is a ultra soft bra. It cannot really stay in shape and you can see
 2 dots when wearing it but it's so comfy. It's a non-push up bra.
Original price RM99

This is a very La Senza looking bra. It's 4 way push up and surprisingly
this bra is not heavy. Original price RM99
This is also a push up bra, 3 way push up . I find this bra
so cute. Original price RM79

Charmed

I downloaded Charmed Seasons 1-3 last week. There's 23 episodes in the first season. It's so nice to watch back old shows. Thanks to my friends who mentioned it, I downloaded Charmed.

I still remember last time during my primary school or high school days, me sis and I used to watch Charmed every week. After a while it became not so interesting, more like when Prue died and Paige came to replace her.

Charmed is basically about 3 sisters in their 20's living together in a big and fancy house which they inherited. Warlocks (evil creatures who kill witches for their powers), Banshees and Demons come and attack them every episode. They have this Book of Shadows where they find information about witchcraft and all those Demons and spells.

My mid term break

For my mid term break, Sarah came down from Melaka to celebrate her 21st birthday. We went to Frontera in Jaya One. They serve Tex Mex food and they have habanero wings. I soooooo want to try habanero ever since watching so many episodes of Man vs Food. But obviously the habanero here are not spicy eventhough I ordered super spicy. They range from regular spicy, super spicy and inferno. I bet the shop didn't use much habanero because it's expensive here. It's not as spicy as cili padi and it still cannot beat the chilli I ate in Bandung. That chilli was sooooooooo spicy. It's more like the spicy where you will cough before eating. 1 drop of it and it's flaming hot.

Next, I also went to Masjid India to buy some sewing supplies and some cloth to practice sewing. I can conclude that I rather buy clothes because I am sooooo impatient that I never take time to measure and my clothes come out so out of shape. I still don't know how to sew stretchable fabric. I actually have the ball point needle at home to sew stretchable fabric. I was like an idiot going everywhere in Malaysia asking for ball point needle. I bet people here don't care what needle they use at all.

Besides that, I also made custard puff with my sis and another time alone. It's not a very good idea to do it alone because it's sooo damn tiring and no one helps you to clean up. OMGGG. It was real tiring. My baking tray was so small and I had to bake 4 rounds.

I only managed to workout only twice during the holidays because I was so damn lazy. I sleep so much in the day and I sleep through my workout session. I must go swimming when I'm free.

Now, sem starts but I have no class on Monday so I took this day to do my assignments. I only remembered about my assignment like last night. Thank god my friend posted it in FB if not I will totally forget about it. Now I'm halfway through it and it's killing me. I have to summarize a 30 page article into 500 words. I better continue my assignment

How to make pillow case

Nowdays I really like sewing. I went to Masjid India to buy some sewing stuff. In the end mydin has the cheapest sewing stuff but you have to buy so many at once and they obviously don't have everything. I still think the sewing shop near my house has alot of things. So I bought some sewing accessories and some material. The best part is that I can't find ball point needle. In the end, I found out there are 2 ball point needles in my house. Haih. I'll just buy from ebay.

These are the materials I bought from Kamdar in Masjid India (the cloth doesn't come with the black elastic. the elastic is RM3 per meter). The cloth are RM2.80 per meter and I bought 2 meter each.






























Now back on how to sew pillow case.


Measure the pillow case according to another existing pillow case and cut off all the edges so it will be 2 seperate pieces of cloth. You can keep the bottom of the pillow case uncut if you cut it that way.






Fold in and hem the edges that is marked in black. The longer piece is to tuck in the pillow so that the pillow doesn't slip out.









Next, fold in the long piece of material into the inside of the pillow case like so (look at the right side, not the left because the fan blew the material at the left side)








Next, sew the raw edges of the material on the outside of the pillow case (the part where you will sleep on). I do this because I like french seam and I don't have a serger.




After this, turn the pillow case inside out then sew the seams but of course more inside than the previous one. 
You can just sew the inside part of the pillow case to make your life easier. Youtube what is French seam because I won't explain it.






Finally, turn your pillow case inside out then tadaaa!!!! A pillow case. Simple as that but I still took 2 hours because there were so many mistakes.
