QOTD

When will I be able to do this?

Explosive

I feel like a growing teenager all over again. Just when I thought I've had some kind of experience dealing with people and attitudes, it became sort of a whirlwind moment next. Fuushhh fuushhh ffuushhhh. Or at least that's how I imagine it, and it does sound like a good replacement to the other prominent F word.

I would say I am very much affected by how the people around me behave. If I need to compare, I'd say I'm the water and the angsty people around me are sodium. Water is typically calm (not the ocean kthx), and this funny sodium decided to jump in the pool and make everything explode.

I always feel a turbulence in my head at times like this.

Because I couldn't be bothered to explain and my brain decided to fry itself. 

I've seen a poster somewhere before - Everyone say Thanks, Sorry, and remember to put on a Smile. Happy. If you want to be treated nicely, then start of by treating other people nicely. If you don't like a person, you can't attack that person when he/she did nothing wrong, isn't it?

What's with the nonsense accusing someone yells at you when they didn't (just because you're super sensitive) and you, yourself are the one who usually yell at this person?

Hypocrite.

And if this victim tries to defend him/herself, it would just get you to prove your point that he/she just yelled. 

WERT.

Oh yes, I'm the victim.

Gah.

Ad Life

My face when I didn't understand what you're trying to say even after you typed a long paragraph:

Best part, I had to explain it to another person. 

And I successfully did it. Am I awesome or what?

Crowning your soles

I've been stuck with ugly, rough-skinned feet for at least 10 years - thanks to the extra curriculum activities I took part in school last time. I had to practice my dance and Taekwondo bare feet on cement floors.

I've tried several products; almost every cracked heel cream and callus removing liquid from Scholl and  Ellgy but none of these work for me. Then I explored deeper into foot masks; LUS Exfoliating Foot Mask and Actizen Foot Mask. And today, I found out about Tsuya Tsuya Silk Factor Callus Softening Patch! I'll briefly review each products I've used and these are all based on my own personal opinions.

#1 Scholl Corn & Callus Removal Liquid

- Available at major pharmacy/drug stores I think. I bought it from Watson's at RM16.90.
- Application: Apply twice a day and allow it to dry before walking around. It's quick drying so don't worry, it's only around 30 seconds.
- Time needed: Varies. I applied for a month and my callus became smaller, but it didn't go away.
- How does it work? : Keep applying the liquid until the skin on your callus is damaged and ready to be peeled off. Peeling takes a bit of time, recommended to soften callus first (in the shower or soak them in lukewarm water) before trying to peel it off.  Do not attempt to peel forcefully or you'll worsen the condition.
- Pros: Effectively remove thick skin (callus) on a certain area of your feet that hurts you.
          : Quick applying method and quick drying liquid.
- Cons: This acidic liquid damages your skin in order to peel off the callus.
           : Unaffected areas around the callus may be damaged as well with constant contact with liquid.
           : Extra care needed when attempting to peel off the callus.
           : Takes long period before the callus is completely gone.
           : Removal gets difficult as callus became smaller.
           : Tendency to hurt flesh on your sole.
- Ratings: 5/10




#2 LUS Exfoliating Foot Mask

- I got mine from Supermodels-secret.com at RM48 for a box of 2 pairs.
- Application: Socks-like foot mask sheet to be worn
- Time needed: 2 hours for application, 10-14 days to take effect.
- How does it work? : Dead skins on your feet will gradually peeled off automatically in 2 weeks time.
- Pros: Dead skin will come off in a big patch.
          : Effortless
- Cons: Time consuming
           : Uncomfortable during application as heat/warmth will trap in the plastic socks-like foot mask.
           : Messy - you'll leave the dead skins everywhere and you couldn't help it.
- Ratings: 6/10

#3 Actizen Foot Mask (Similar to #2 LUS Exfoliating Foot Mask)

- My sis introduced this to me; usually it costs RM48-RM50 per pair, but she got it from Groupon and it was only RM24/pair. (*v*)/$$
- Application: Socks-like foot mask sheet to be worn

- Time needed: 2 hours for application, 10-14 days to take effect.

- How does it work? : Dead skins on your feet will gradually peeled off automatically in 2 weeks time.

- Pros: Dead skin will come off in a big patch. 

          : Effortless

          : Peeling process tends to be less messy compared to LUS.

          : BABY SMOOTH SKIN after 2 weeks!!

- Cons: Time consuming

           : Uncomfortable during application as heat/warmth will trap in the plastic socks-like foot mask.

           : Messy - you'll leave the dead skins everywhere and you couldn't help it. 

- Ratings: 9/10

Oh oh do read about it at Cheeserland.com, she did a better job for the review! :)

#4 Tsuya Tsuya Silk Factor Callus Softening Patch

- Available in Watson's. RM20+ per packet (6 pieces) or better if you can find the Value Pack (3 packets/18 pieces + Foot File) at RM49.90. 

- Application: Sheets of foot patches to be placed directly on feet. No socks-like method.

- Time needed: 10 minutes for application, 15 minutes for filing.

- How does it works? : Unlike socks-like foot masks, this comes in 6 indivudual patches you can place anywhere on your sole. However, the troublesome part is where you need to work your way out while sticking it on your sole and next, to adjust your body to lie down on your chest for 10 minutes while waiting for  med to soak in. After that, you'll have to file your feet with a bit of strength to remove the dead skins. 

- Pros: The quickest method compared to all the above. 

          : Instant result!

          : Painless

- Cons: Filing takes a bit of effort.

           : Oily substance; recommended to wash your feet with soap after filing as the liquid from the  

             mask will leave it feeling slippery.

           : Packaging cannot be sealed and therefore you must finish all 6 patches in a go.
           : Doesn't cover the entire feet area.

- Ratings: 8/10

Oh I have picture comparison for this one! It's kinda disgusting but that's the reason I need to get rid of it! D:

Amajing? Amajing.

Verdict? Use Tsuya Tsuya on a weekly basis, Actizen once every 2 months.

Problem solved. Hope it works for you people too! :)

The Childish Me.

It must've been awhile since I last pay attention to Blogger's "Create Post" layout. Super different now. 

Anyways, the "My Generasi" video is really a big hit nowadays among the kids from 90s. Technically I'm stuck in between the 80s and 90s so I can relate only some of them. The videos bring back memories as I was drying my hair (yes I utilize my time like that) and it got me thinking what did I do during the early parts of my life? I have a really bad memory; went back to my first ever blog and read most of them. I was an annoying girl who rants about life every single day wth. I'd hate my old self back then. Sigh. I wonder what makes my friends remain as my friends. Must be really bad to have me by your side. I'm sorry T_T_T_T_T_T_T_TTTT I was a terrible friend I KNOW but allow me to assure you that I'm a changed soul wtf 

Among the Things To Do in class:

#batu seremban

#tracing cute cartoons on cardboards, color them, made them into bookmarks/postcards and sell them (I earn like RM50 a day I'M SORRY I WAS SUCH A CUNNING KID T_T

#main kepung (the x and o game drawn on buku latihan Matematik) 

#lompat getah

#collect stickers and exchange/show off to friends (Those you can buy at RM1 per sheet in A4 size)

#arranging tables and chairs, hid under it and pretend it's a "castle" or "house". 

#UNO cards

#Monopoly board game

#Pickup Sticks

#Scrabbles

#43895643985 copies of Buku Biodata

#Checking out everyone's pencil case if own stationery went missing. My Pilot Shaker is always the victim, or the mechanical pencil you get to press from the side. Good thing was; I always find them cos there's a "secret mark" on them. tee-hee.

#Calling the other kids childish when I'm not up to a certain game (such as hiding stuffs, Pokemon cards, kejar-kejar ==, hide and seek, and some random games I thought was stupid)

I don't really play games that involve running a lot because...you see, I was the fat kid in class and was always teased and called gemuk - until they found out I was really fierce and own a pair of killer mata sepet; they just talk behind my back. So I was the pengawas pusat sumber yang gemuk dan sepet during those days. Le sigh. FML max. Ironically, I was part of the bola jaring and bola baling team! Oh, and lontar peluru too cos that's the only way fat people can contribute for the sports' day wtf.

Remind me if I've missed out any! 

St. Patrick's Day - Changkat.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY 

IN CHANGKAT THIS WEEKEND!

:D

It's gonna happen on the March 17th for Guinness Malaysia, fun-filled with laughter and happiness at the Golden Triangle. ;)

For the St. Patrick's Day 2012, Guinness is attempting to set the Guinness World Record by hitting the 1 million attendance mark. QUICKLY, submit ur pledge while confirming ur attendance for the “Friendliest Day of the Year” through Facebook or St Patrick’s Official Website. Oh yes, do sign up with Nuffnang first before that to win these tickets! :)


So what gesture will it take for me to make St. Patrick's Day the "Friendliest Day of the Year"?

ALL 1 MILLION ATTENDEES BUNGEE JUMPING FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

It would be super awesome to do crazy stuffs especially under your peers pressure and most importantly, everyone is doing it together! ;)

What happens in the Orange World?

So what usually happens in the office?

We might look like a bunch of partypeople...but in fact, we're very SERIOUS at work. As noisy as we can be, we're actually very quiet during the busy times in the office that it sometimes freaks me out to realized that all my colleagues are there but it's mad quiet. Gulps.

I'm not saying we're a bunch of quiet people in the office and only release our alter ego when we're out from the Orange Office. For example, this is what we do:

(1) Becoming a self-help hairstylist.

(2) Facebookraping colleagues (especially interns. hoho. We love our interns!)

This is a friendly public service announcement brought to you by one of the culprits; Shahz.

(3) Tweetjacking - pretty much similar to Frape; however, less epic. 

THIS WAS DONE BY THE MAMABIRD pls kill me.

To top it off, apparently nobody really wants my hug.

On the other times, we're pretty serious in doing our stuffs.

Post Sunday Insomnia

Solution? Here goes:

Happy Monday, myself.

Pray hard not to make any mistakes!

The Nyan Cat Encounter

If you don't know what's a Nyan Cat. Please watch this video before proceeding. 

Well, even if you do...WATCH IT as well because these kids are so freaking cute!

So...

I need to be on Twitter/Facebook at all times for work.

One fine day, Fresh came over beside me and stood there. I thought it was suspicious because my seat is at a corner and usually people just come over if they needed something, or they have evil intention of tweetjacking or FBjacking. *grunts*
Apparently she's just cold and my space is warmer cos I get the sunlight from the glass window behind my seat.

This is what happened...

The responses I get...

EVEN NYANCAT REPLIED WTF

First one to replied some more.

I was talking about this:

So I RT her picture and mentioned @nyancatbot

Boy, this cat is still annoying even on Twitter. :|

Makes sense. Nyan Cat only goes forever-nyan and will not utter any other word.

kthxbai

back to work.

The February

February is always my favorite month because it's always full of celebrations and this is sort of the "happening" month. (And for the rest of the year I'm just a boring person kthxbai)

As far as I remember, Chinese New Year almost landed on February every single year. And next, it would be my birthday. I was a happy kid because I usually gets two angpows if my relatives remember my birthday on the CNY. Hehehaha. However, ever since I started dating ndc...our monthsary, his birthday and our Valentine's day just shamelessly squeeze their way in between wtf - which later caused a triple/quadruple celebration in just a week. Imagine dining out 3 - 4 times a week to celebrate each of the occasion. Trust me, it will get pretty tiring because one would need to used up all the brain juice in the attempt of creating the most romantic surprise/present/night ever. But to jumble all these special days together in a day, it would be a waste! :( Anyways, we decided to just dine out for our birthdays.

Valentine's Day is super overrated; to avoid frustration in crowded restaurants and bad services, what we had was a simple yet happy meal from...KFC :P But anyways he prepared a bouquet for me so it's good enough. I'm not the kinda person who approve of spending hundreds on flowers :( They will wilt away anyway, so it's not worth the value. Oh oh by the way, it's my first bouquet of flowers!!! T___T No guys have ever gave me flowers on Valentine's Day before sighhh as much as a least fancy flowers, but it's still an honor/compliment to receive them. Pfft. Thanks babyyyy! :)

Right after working hours. Pardon me. *coughs

His birthday/monthsary meal.

On my birthday, we decided to spend it as a combo Valentine/birthday date. I had a day off from the office because it's awesome like that; we get a free day off on our birthday if it falls on a working day. Spent the whole day in Pavilion because it's the bears' last day there and it's been almost 2 months since these bears stood there it's time for them to go back to North Pole or something. Hopefully my 120mm will turn out pretty. *keeping fingers crossed*

 Here's Mikaela in between the Michelles in #ChurpOut at 7atenine; it was a jazz performance - Motown with Atilia that night.
Thanks for hosting us! :)

The mamabirdie and the noisybird.

And uhm, a really bad picture of myself for the
Nuffnang 5th Birthday Bash.
Note to self: I will never buy tube dress anymore.

Last but not least, went to my favorite place with my soulmates before one of them head back to Aussie.
Well, she's already back to ozzy now. Missing you from the muddyland! :)

Abrupted post because this cannot be delayed too long.

I've been procrastinating and saving this post as draft. It's supposed to be my birthday post but it ends up as a summary for my February. *hides*

Sunday Fun Facts

I'm reading this as "You and your partner got together because both of you are equally weird and enjoy each other's odd taste."

*facepalm

Kizzez for yer

I was 22 days ago. And just turned 23 yesterday. How I wished I'll never aged. *dark*

Anyways, as gloomy as it could be; there's always these bunch of awesome people who're there to celebrate my special day. Birthday would mean nothing without getting this once-in-a-year attention from them! Thanks for all the birthday wishes via Facebook, Twitter, SMSes, BBMs, and the verbal ones too!

So, to everyone of you shuga honey bunsters...Here's a huge ass kiss for yer!

kizz it, feelz it, and lovez it

Will blog about how my birthday went next time cos the pictures are either in my other pendrive, or it's undeveloped in my film.

I'm now back to office after my birthday leave yesterday.

Yes. It's kinda awesome to have such entitlement on your birthday <3

Happy Working, guys! :)

By the way, just so you know...I can haz feelings too.

Cracker dilemma

HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS

GUESS WHAT, IT JUST HAPPENED AT THE MOMENT I SEE THIS

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

- 

Apparently I need science to enjoy simple crackers dipped in my cuppa coffee.

Water temperature x (random scientific number) x thickness of cracker x density of drink x fdgldfksghfadg 

= seconds to make crackers soft and disgusting.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Nevermind. I'll have the crackers and coffee separately.

Happy Tuesday people.

Cold-hearted people, not?

Remember the hit-and-run incident of the 2 years old YueYue in Foshan, China? Many talked about how sick and depressing it is to see a little girl lying helplessly on the ground and yet no one helped. Well, this may be a good write to explain why almost 20 who passed by, never attempt to help at all. Click here for the full article.

I think it's not just the onlookers' fault. It's how they were brought up in that environment. Bet it's gonna be hard to change their perception now. Geez, what's gonna happen if the parents taught their kids to just shut up and not offer any help to avoid getting into trouble. It's gonna be end of the world then.

You may not know what I'm talking about, but it's better to read it for yourself.

Mille Crepe

I can haz Mille Crepe in the office today. 

I will never reject cakes as long as they're not chocolate ones. 

And it's a friggin Mille Crepe! How often can we get nice ones here in KL?

Do check out their awesome Facebook page here 

Warm Christmas

"Tis' the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la la~"

I was thinking to 'resurrect' my blog from being dead, to uhm, gasping for air.

So my iTunes was on shuffle and I came across a few Christmas songs. And coincidentally I have some Christmas related pictures so here's the first attempt to blog again. *clapclaps*

While I do enjoy Christmas songs and those pretty little X'mas delicates, I'm never really fascinated about Christmas anyways. Well, at least not as much as taisiu does; even though he's not a Christian. He gets pretty happy looking at Christmas decors in the malls and even dressed up his own version of the yule tree :D

Ain't it a darling! :)

I missed out setting up this Christmas tree ritual in his house last year. Although I was grumpy and impatient while putting it up the other day, but tell me who wouldn't feel happy after seeing this sight especially when you did it on your own? I think it look pretty nice, albeit I just simply decorated it with my peasize sense of aesthetic talent. *shifty eyes*

We even bought this cute little santa hat and walked around the mall even before Thanksgiving. It was so small and light that I've forgotten to take it down when we dined in, until the waiter came to compliment our hats and chuckled away. FOL. 

BUT YOU HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME THIS FREAKING SANTA-HAT-HAIRCLIP IS BEYOND CUTE!

On a random note, I do wish to see Liverpool in snow! :)

Nerd

Happens to me all the freaking time.

Ticktock

I know right.

This blog needs a major revamp after so many months being abandoned. And I've been using this layout for years. Just a little bit time more, I need some time to cope with my absent mind-ness.
Seriously, how old am I exactly? I feel like I never have good memory since birth!

Even a notebook can barely help. *facepalm - Especially when there's so little time, but yet so much to do.

Ah.

Working life begins nao.

bye.night.die

I've realized my ability to turn invisible when I'm not needed.
And when someone needs my help, I immediately became solid.
Later I become invisible again.

Just like an object.
