True Love Never Runs Smooth

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

拥抱着梦想离开的你,和我相约在2003年后的五年再见面。
两岸的距离,时儿像隔着一层薄薄的纱,隐隐约约地看见你向我挥手;
时儿像隔着一座翻不过的高山,累了休息 跌了再坚持。
但思念太赤裸 寂寞太恐怖,
这段恋情像在走钢线,步步为营惊心动魄。
可怜的人们,
要么奇迹般的度过这一劫,要么高空坠地粉身碎骨。

两年后,
我快不行了。
我快忘了你的脸。
我快记不起你说话的样子。
我快撑不住一个人默默哭泣的夜晚。

我想要离开这可恶的长距离。
你片刻不语,随后你接着说:
好,那你就离开马来西亚。
但我的意思是...
没关系,先过来。

从此以后,机场就成了我们走钢线时的交叉点。

2007年的那个温暖的冬天,我们结束了这趟惊险的冒险。
两人侥幸般地活着,依然活着。
真爱赢了。

Love you,

How to look younger in 10 days?

Monday, September 26, 2011

Is this possible? I mean, to really rejuvenate, regenerate, regain youthfulness in such a short time? I'm not convinced but during my trip to Taiwan, Shanghai and even when I was living in M'sia, I noticed that the aggressive advertisements of beauty & skincare products really did a good job in coaxing consumers into trying their products, ya, just like what I've just accomplished, successfully luring you into clicking and reading this page.

Well, I'm not saying those products do not work nor ineffective at all, but experiencing the positive changes and results in just 10 days? That's way over-promising for anti-aging products. 2-3 months, yes. Again, it depends.

Don't be too disappointed and don't even thwarted what you are working on right now, most of the anti-aging products work well, even if it's doesn't meet its promises--to make your skin as youthful as a teenage gal--it's still able to keep your skin from dehydrating, that in long run will reduce premature wrinkles and fine lines. See, no harm at all.

But I do have some tips to share since people often thought I look younger than my age, Y.A.H.O.O!!! (those who have said that to me includes the uncle who sells roti & veggies to my mum, all the neighbors, uncles & aunties that live next door as well as across the street, my hairdresser, the beautician & her colleagues, manicurist and her regular customers, and too many to mention). So, I guess I'm qualified enough to provide valid alternatives that would hopefully enrich your beauty journey.

#1 Bare skin and proud!

#2 Fruits! Plenty of them. I've been eating fresh fruits every single day ever since I moved to Boulder. Orange, apple, peach, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, kiwifruit, tomato (tomato is a fruit, go google it!)... Displine yourself to eat at least one or two kinds of fruit every day for good health and good skin.

#3 Resveratrol is a compound found largely in the skins of red grapes; it is also one of the most useful antioxidant vitamins ever. I personally experienced its powerful effect in 3 weeks, brighter skin tone and it helps to diminish the appearance of dark circles too. Love this!!!

#4 M'sians, I'm sure you are familiar with it but I still need to briefly elaborate its beauty benefits. So, in Asia, many older people drink American ginseng tea as a beautifying agent, because it refines the skin and helps counteract dryness, wrinkles and other age-related skin problems (via essortment.com). I don't drink this every day, just whenever I feel like it and usually after hot bath. Super calming and soothing though~~

#5 Bought 5 of them at Watson during promotion, finished 3 bottles, left two now. Each Shi Tzu beauty drink contains 10,000mg of sheep placenta extract, 5,000mg of fish collagen, and 5,000 of bird nest essence. Tasted pretty decent, recommendable ^^V

#7 Speaking of collagen, I truly think that Kinohimitsu Collagen beauty drink is an awesome gift from heaven because I can barely stand the taste of bird nest soup now. Sigh, long story. But ya, I can't drink bird nest anymore, it gives me nausea even just by thinking/looking at it. Sigh T______T

So throughout my beauty journey in these years, I came to understand that there's really no short cut for it. You need to work hard, eat smart, spend wiser, and begin your beauty journey as earlier as you can in your 20's.

Good luck, gals! Let's stay beautiful together~~

Sleepless Shanghai - Part III

Sunday, September 25, 2011

So Chean and I were changing ideas about the prefect destination for our honeymoon early this noon, we were just brainstorming, solid plan has yet to be finalized, but the uncontrollable feeling of reluctance already rush through my veins, I wish I don't have to fly long distance again, not so soon.

However, when I was arranging & editing pictures of my SH trip for this post just now, I felt like traveling again. Hmm, how torn right? How nice if we could have Doreamon's famous gadget--Anywhere Door (任意门). Alas, day dreaming, perhaps that's one of the side effects of jet lag.

Anyway... Let's fly to Shanghai for a while now! Y.A.H.O.O~~

Although the pictures look cool & fun but the whole experience at The Oriental Pearl Tower sucks. It was super crowded and long queue thus it took us more than two hours to get to the top, and hell ya, we finished everything in less than 25 mins. Plus the crowd was real noisy and rude and they grasped every single opportunity to cut queue, so mad. All in all, Taipei 101 is a lot better, way more relaxing and comfortable, oh, and cheaper too.

But the Shanghai History Museum (上海市历史博物馆) located right next to the tower is real amazing! We both enjoyed it a lot than we thought!

#15 Ok, let me explain. I wasn't being rude, I was just teasing.

If you ever been to any touristy places in SH, it's not hard for you to find out that it is almost impossible to get any pictures without strangers in it. We had a tough time, from the aquarium to the tower to this museum. And for this one, I stood there for more than 15 mins already, at first I was queuing, waiting for my turn but then I noticed there's no line at all, people just come, snap and go even they knew you were waiting; they don't really care if you were in their pictures too, some will just stand next to you when you are photographing, then snap and go =.=lll Dang it, we gave up a lot of spots already but I want this so bad, don't care liao T______T

A.R.G.H. Now I miss Shanghai real bad. Till then, BS-ers, thanks for reading.
