A progress...NOT?

That's me without concealer. eek!

The itch and redness on my face have subsided. It had been quite an emo week for me. Thankfully for frens who had been very supportive and encouraging and kept me going with all the advices they can give. Thou it didn't work much, like one suggestin me to eat more vegetables(heh heh..) n bactobean who was so KIND to offer me his razor to shave off all my pimples (with pus in it) which kept popping out like mushrooms.

But if weren't for them I might probably still feel as down. I might not be able to go on with my presentation. I might be playing truant. Or worse, I might even be hiding in the room, refused to let anyone see me in this horrible state.

But I've learnt my lesson. And people should know how dangerous one beauty product can be even when it's so pricy. I think this was once a very hot topic. Products like SKII have been showing its side effects after some time. I remember reading articles of SKII users returning all the products they have bought. But recently, there have been many ads on tv and magz showing how good SKII is. So maybe I should give it shot hmmm? ...maybe not.

I'm using Neutrogena products for the timebeing. I was a Neutrogena fan before getting involved with Miyome (a product of Japan). Guess Neutrogena is still the best after all. I refused to believe coz I think it's kinda cheap compared to other products. And I thought all expensive things are of good quality.

For a price of 30 bucks, I could have gotten a good skin.

Nvm...

I've learnt..

Now, picture a hotdog. a fat and red one.

Imagine it on my face.

My lips.

It's as big as that now.

Facial gone bad...

Ever wonder what goes on your face each time you go for your facial treatment? Ever had a thought that someone is actually sitting right beside you and watch you sleep while you’re having your mask on?

Gee,,, i had my worst experience ever recently. I’m terribly disappointed with the people that I’ve trusted my face with. I regret not taking Mum’s advice. I’m sorry for not listening to friends who told me about botchy treatments.

Last Sat I made an appointment with the beauty salon that I’ve been going to for almost 2 years, for an oats treatment. The treatments were good and everything went well until later that night, I started to feel an itch on the entire left side of my face. I put my hair up, tried to ignore the stinging feeling and went to bed early that night hoping to wake up to see my once spotless face again. But who could have guessed that on Sunday morning, the itchiness and redness spread to my ENTIRE face. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT LEE KEAN KEAN WILL LOOK LIKE A BABOON’S BUTT ON SUNDAY MORNING???

I was horrified. Mortified. There’s nothing I can do to make the itch go away. A blotchy face for a botchy treatment. There’s no one I can tell at home because I didn’t heed Mum's advice. It’s all my fault. I asked for it. Or maybe I deserved it after all.

By Monday, nothing gets better. It’s the same. Red. Itchy. And more. Red. Itchy. And more. Then I called up the salon to talk about the new package that I’ve just signed up for. I was sad and dejected. All I want is for my face to return back to normal. I want my old face back! I want my old face back! It’s so pathetic:(

I told the boss my story and asked if there’s any way I can get my money back. It had been quite a phobic experience and the last thing I want is for history to repeat itself again. So I dont want any facial treatments for the timebeing. She told me I won't get my money back. But I can exchange the money paid for a few Dermalogica products. When I said I don’t want any product that comes out of her salon, she brought another topic out. She claimed that it’s normal to feel itchy after using some of the beauty products, for instance, Miyome. There have been complaints about the itchiness if one doesn’t use it for only a day. So she suggests that we use it only 3 times a week. SO WHY TELL ONLY NOW???

WHY TELL ONLY WHEN THE SIDE EFFECTS STARTED TO SHOW????? DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS MEANS FROM THE DAY I STARTED USING MIYOME, I CAN NEVER LIVE WITHOUT IT EVER AGAIN??? IF I DO STOP USING IT, MY ENTIRE FACE WILL GO ITCHY AND GOD KNOWS WHAT I’LL END UP LOOKING LIKE AGAIN!!!! And what does this have to do with the facial package I’m talking about??? Clearly she’s trying to dodge the subject and divert me to something which she thought I didn’t know??? I’m an Miyome user too okay!!!! Sigh........................................................................

KILLER PRODUCT

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BAN MIYOME ONCE AND FOR ALL!

BAN THIS!
BAN THIS!
BAN THIS!

SUE THE MANUFACTURER!
SUE THE DISTRIBUTOR!
SUE THOSE WHO SELLS IT!

Well since we couldn’t settle it through the phone, I decided to meet the boss this morning. Armed with pictures of my baboon ass-like face and some of my law notes from last semester(:P), I marched calmly to the salon – trying to keep cool and not looking like a retarded housewife. (I somehow looked like a housewife with this condition)

We talked and discussed of how to settle things.

After lots of saliva flying across the table, the boss finally said that she will return my money. But for only half of it. So here comes the advantage of being a pure Hakka girl. I said a lot of things which I don’t quite remember but was quite offensive and that the boss and her employees could not talk back because I was talkin so fast that my phlegm almost came out:P:P:P:P.She was obviously afraid after the many statements I've made. So she changed her mind and pretended to be a real nice person saying that she will return 75% of it.

I was still very unhappy. I want my money back!!!! She said her decision was final. I want my money back!!!! She said that’s the most she can offer. I want my money back or I’ll bring this to court!!!! OK. WE’RE DONE HERE.

Guess she knows where I stand after all.

I get all my money back (for the package that I HAVE NOT started using yet) and also to return the Miyome which I’ve just bought last Sat.

She looked sad, scared and regret.

If you told me there are side effects for using Miyome on day 1, things wouldn’t have turned out this way today. I wouldn’t have bought the cream you introduced. I wouldn’t have returned and bought almost up to 20 bottles today. I wouldn’t have to spend a few thousand bucks for botchy facial treatments and creams.

So if you still think that I'm on the wrong side and you're right, think again.

But now, I’ll have to face the consequences all by myself.



And I thought Thursday is good for partyin. Sigh..

movie marathon

Weekends weekends weekends! Oh how I loveeeeee weekends. Ohh.... AHHHHHHHHHHH!

I did most of the things I enjoy doing in the past few days and now I feel like a very much happy person. Bubbly kean has found her momentum! I went here and there. Buy this and that. And have accomplished quite a number of things. I like the way I feel now! I’m so positive! POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE! I’m miss Positive! Positive! Positive! Positif! Positivia! Ever wonder why a word sounds weird after u said it one too many times? Hmm..

Anyway, since I have a long weekend at home this week, last Fri and the coming Tue classes have been cancelled, I decided to hit a movie marathon all by myself. Weekends are meant for this. To discharge all the bad energy! Get off u stinky mood swinger! Shut up u fat ugly disgusting moronic stupid thoughts! I’m gonna cast u away from my bodey! ...

Just as u thought I was gonna get dressed and head to the nearest mall, ---- WRONG! I was only gonna watch it on my 14 inches wide laptop:B

I have a lot of ahemm.. downloaded movies so why waste it??

Out of the hundreds and thousands of movies available, I choose only 4. And the winners are... Slumdog Millionaire! The Curious Case of Benjamin Button! The Holiday! (which is sooooo yesterday, but I’m so in-the-holiday right now ) and....... The X-Files I Want to Believe!

They all sound like super duper cool movies right??? And when I’m gonna watch all these outdated movies in my tiny computer screen, Pudhead now renamed as BACTOBEAN (because he’s seriously infected by bacteria. So does his nickname in my link, till he recovers) is enjoying one of the latest movies in the cinema - WATCHMEN. Although I’m not too excited about him wandering around the mall without me, I think he deserve to go treat himself to a good movie since it’s the “Guys Day Out” today. So cool to have 3 siblings!

Anyhow, I kinda swerved to the wrong side of the road oredy. Back to the movies. Well, out of the 4 I’ve watched Benjamin Button was the best of the best of the bestttt! Seriously! I don’t understand how did Slumdog Millionaire win the Award instead of Benjamin Button. Are the people blind?????? Or do they judge merely on how “true” the story was? Ok. So, the scenes in Slumdog were real. Poverty and racism do happen in India. In fact, that's what they've been living with for years. But it’s a bit unfair to Benjamin Button if u look at it that way right. I like Benjamin Button! And I’m not being racist ok. (been accused in Facebook of being racist because I didn’t like Slumdog.)

People can always say what they want, or what they like or whatever tickle them fancy. And it's just their luck that I'm not too into baby arguments like this. So me shall start doing projects and assignments and not be distracted by retards!

Tata~~

Lucky Penangites!

I've been such an ass lately. Lazy and retarded. Just got back from Penang last Sunday. Had my final midterm paper last night and now, have to deal with projects, presentations and revisions which I've put on hold for more than 2 weeks. It's towards the end of the semester and just as I was about to bade goodbye to midterm, finals is on its way to ruin my life. Classes seemed to be boring and tiring. Couldn't be bothered with lectures anymore.

I'm still in Penang mode actually. The whole journey was bitter sweet. But overall, AWESOME! We lost badly in the tournament but we had lots of fun going around Penang town;P I can't believe Penang is such a cost-friendly place to live in. Wherever I go it spells CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! I can seriously save a lot in long term mannnn.

Since there were not many events for us to take, and since we've travelled 320 km across the Peninsular, and sat in a rodeo bus for more than 5 hours, we decided to make good of the time we had in Penang. (regardless of the ongoing tournament. hee hee) 8 people, 6 cameras = LOTS OF PICTURES! So many that I dread opening my folders now. Took me about 2 hours to resize half of it. The other half can probably go kill themselves in my Recycle Bin. So now, PIGS!

For the record : I'M SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORI TO MY DEAR FRIEND WHO HAD A FRACTURED AND DISLOCATED ARM. I DID A VERY TERRIBLE THING TO HIM TODAY AND I STILL FEEL REALI BAD ABOUT IT EVEN WHEN HE SAID IT WAS OK. SO HERE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS, I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OGY!!!!!!!

Ahh.. it does feel a bit better now.:B

Apa itu zina?

An INTERESTING article pasted around my block.

Allah forbids group studies?

Allah does not approve courting?

Hmm.. then I must have seen a lot of mee goreng and sirap bandung been passed around! Or maybe some even had a taste of it already. Ironic isn't it? :)

Good ol Michelin

Well well, itz towards the end of midsem already and I'm getting kinda excited. I hope the last one would be next week. By then I would be able to enjoy my trip to Penang! So I didnt reli make it to UUM last month. So many things were on my mind all telling me to forgo the first circuit. In the end when I've finally made up my mind, I was informed that the tournament was cancelled! what delight it brought me. anyway, does anyone ever notice that the days and dates in the months of Feb & March are the same???

My killer paper is this coming Saturday and i'm startin to miss home already (though bloggin frm home now heh heh). I just don't like spending lonely fridays in hostels. It seriously gives me the creeps. Friday nites. when all the girls are out pasar malam-ing till the wee hours is the morning. and me, the one and only soul in the whole block. GULP. how i hate that feeling. Does anyone likes auditing????? Hopefully that would be able to keep my head from straying into all those stupid scary thoughts. WAIT. Audit could end up messing with my head instead and make me see things that weren't even there??? NO NO nO! nadaa! shouldn't b thinking of dumb things like that.

Now this is supposed to be about Michelin. So I'm gonna talk about Michelin the small white bumpy guy. I saw my boyfriend carrying him around last Friday. He's so damn cute I couldnt resist not poking fun at him.

Michelin leaning against my pencil case~~

What an adorable rubber man!

Each time when my boo tries to type something on his laptop, I would make as if Michelin came alive, walking and talking on his keyboard. Then I would stick it above his screen as though he was floating. Guess things aren't as cute when u overdo it huh? So he was beginning to not respond to my lame jokes about Michelin. Then I got irritated. furious. Michelin suddenly became ugly to me. I hate Michelin. Michelin ain't cute anymore. I'm gonna kill Michelin! that's when I decided to break Michelin into half! Don't belive?

There! he's dead! nicely cut into half. happy??




But what if Michelin is meant to be halved? How if he's not dead? *GASP*


hehe. alright alright. Actually this miniature Michelin is not just another toy. I'll give u clue then u try guessing!

What does this looks like to u? A hole in the pants?

Hint hint..what's that sticking out of his abdomen?

O well.... it'ssssss a PENDRIVE!

Look.

So cute isn't it? didn't expect it to be somethin useful did u? hee hee.

Actually it was on my boo's blog already. Just for fun! :P
