Playing saxophone and making card

Yesterday I was spending my time making card and playing with my brother's saxophone..Fun...=P

Well, this is how my dog looks like..the cutest member in our family..

And here you see I am playing with brother's saxophone..really difficult to play..and I am really proud of him for being able to play a song using this instrument!

Yipee..=)

My best friend Wai Leng's birthday is next month but however, I am going for nutrition conference on her big day. She requested nothing from me except for a handmade birthday card...So..I was thinking of 'hanging board' concept for this card of hers..

Updated skin care routine

Hello everyone. I am back with another post about my skin care routine. Again, I must say that I am a person who loves investing on skin care products. So as you can see below, I've laid out all the skin care products that I use on day-2-day basis. These are what I used daily..

I follow the basic steps of skin care: 1) Cleanse --> 2) Tone --> 3) Moisturize --> 4) Eye cream

The products that I use:

1) Cleanser: Hada Labo AHA BHA cleanser

2) Toner: Simple Soothing toner (sorry bout the picture, this is my travel size toner in Clinelle's bottle)

3) Moisturizer: Naruko Oil Out Balancing Moisturizer

4) Eye cream/gel: Skinz UV white eye gel

5) Night gelly (for night routine): Naruko Oil Out Night Gelly..

The picture above shows the texture and consistency of the products that I used for my skin. Based on the color of the circle, you can differentiate the different texture and consistency of those products. So, the moisturizer is the most runny texture and my favorite of all. 

My take: The moisturizer is easily absorbed and leaving no sticky feeling at all. Very light and moisturizing. It somehow helps my skin to balance out the oil production. My face is less shinny now. Really love it! 

The night gelly is very good as well. It claims to be able to control sebum production over night. Well, I must say that is did no really control sebum production. My skin is still shinny the next day but it is not as oily as before. 

My take: The night gelly is easily absorbed as well. It smells so good (tea tree herbal scent). The texture is just like gel and it does not leave any stickiness after application..=) Perfect for oily skin..

Do check out these Naruko products online at these websites:

1. Naruko Malaysia

2. Naruko Singapore

Ok..so long for this time

Take care everyone

Love,

Scratch and Win 14/5/12 (Part 2)

Ok, now comes to the part 2 or this stupid scam issue. As you all know, I was cheated RM4000, in return of a stupid jade mattress and NO PROOF at all of the 'sales'. Indeed I did not get anything as proof. NO IC, NO RECEIPT. People will be wondering why..and..WHY NO RECEIPT still get cheated? Funny and stupid right? But, I need to remind you all again that I WAS ALONE in the office with 2 GUYS there. Even if I realize it was a scam, DO YOU THINK I CAN ESCAPE UNHARMED? The door is secured with password, and I cannot guarantee that they will not harm me, or RAPE me if I try to escape..I don't dare to take risk so just go on with the show!

The picture above shows the location of the hideout..Take a look at this and remember this in your mind. If you get approached by people at KL central monorail and follow them to the office, this will be the office! No lie because my BF was brought to this office as well...

This is the name of the office! Well, don't know it's real or not. Whatever!

This is the letter/form they show you to attract you..look at the left side: THE PRIZES!

Ok..yesterday 16/5/2012 was our plan to get the evidence from these people. Going back to the monorail station prepared [No extra cash, NO MONEY in ATM], we try to lure them into our trap! I disguised myself differently, walked with my BF and help him to identify these suckers! And I SAW BOTH THE IDIOTS CHEATED me! God Bless Us! And then I was sent to KL central while my bf get on with the play. 

Just like what we expected, they approached him and brought to the same office and the same incident was played again in the office. He was brought to the office by the first guy who approached me, called Ah Hong.  My bf manage to take picture of his IC and he did the play well. After knowing that he does not have any money in the ATM, the guy asked him to get money from home...Really bloody sucker! 

My bf manage to escape safely and promised them to return with money! Ha, they wanted to follow him home, but he rejected! When we drove and passed by the monorail station, he saw one of the guy who planned to cheat him was already back to the street to continue finding his prey! WTH! My bf told me that when he was going up to the office, there were two girls coming down [suspecting they are going to withdraw money], and while he was leaving the office, he saw the Ah LIM bringing a Malay lady with daughter going up the office to be cheated. You may ask, WHY HE DIDN'T ALERT these people? Well, we can't afford to blow the cover. If they knew we planned these out, they would have escaped ASAP, and I cannot go bck there with tribunal award to claim back my money! Sounds very selfish, but that time, we also wished that the law enforcers would help us...

Given such plan, we quickly approached the nearest police station to do report and ask if they can help us to catch these people...Since, those scammers were told that my bf will be going back there with money, it might a good chance for the police to catch them at the office since we know the exact location, we know the guys. But they direct us to consumer department (hal ehwal pengguna) and ask whether they are willing to help us! Unfortunately, they told us no need to do anything, they will go check it out..Will they? Not sure! Instead, they advice us to inform our friends not be get cheated again...and also blamed me to be fallen into the trapped even though knew that it was a trap...bla bla bla....

What else I can do? Nothing, except to go to the bank to get the CCTV, get my bank slip of withdrawal and also to do the tribunal report with the IC no. taken..hope this can help me..

This blog post I want people to read and share it...I also want you all to know what I was going through and do not EVER REPEAT my silly MISTAKE!

God Bless You all! 

Scratch and Win Scam

I believe that many people heard of this 'scratch and win' scam from newspapers, internet or facebook. I could not believe that I am one of the victims right now for this scam. Honestly, I felt extremely stupid and I know that I must do something to get the money back or at least to alert people around so that there won't be another "water fish" like me.

This incident happened yesterday 14/6/2012 starting at Monorail KL central. I was on my way to KL central from Monorail to catch my KTM back to Kepong after my outing with friends. While walking to the station, I was approached by one guy, dressed formally and trying to give me a coupon. I rejected and walk without looking at my road. I banged to the phone booth and stopped. He quickly handed over the coupon and ask me to come to the program at Midvalley. So I said, "TQ, I will read later" and continue walking. He then followed me to ask me to tear off the corner of the coupon as he needed it to show his boss that he delivered the coupon to public. So i tear it off and gave it to him. He then quickly opened the coupon and ask if I had ever seen this before...I said NO. Then he grabbed my hand and congratulated me.." You WON  a big prize. You know this is a GREY circle indicating big prizes", he then showed me other coupons with "thank you", and he said these coupons do not have prizes. He said I am so lucky to get the prize.

He showed me the poster of all the prizes. And said, now left car, trip packages and jade mattress to be won. He then asked me to go see the prize at their office in MidValley. I replied saying I will go other days [I was thinking to go with my BF]. But then said the prizes can only be claimed on the same day the coupon is opened. He also convinced me that I sure can get one of these 3 prizes...[Damn, this is where I started to feel like wanting to take it, especially the car. I damn wanted a car I admit it and I start to give in]..

So I asked where is the office, so I can take it myself. But they say they can guide me there. I rejected and no. But he asked me to order my cab and gave me all his license and IC [Now, this is the trick they want us to believe that they do no harm]. So I took the IC, and find my own cab. When I know that I got to pay for the taxi, I wanted to go back...But anyhow, they managed to convince me that when I get the prize, the taxi money is worth it...And the most F***ing annoying this is that they keep asking you to treat them dinner if I get the prize. So we went on the cab and when I see that the taxi is not heading to MidValley, I started to feel suspicious...but the taxi driver said this is a high way to the office to avoid the jam...Finally we reached the office..which IS DEFINITELY NOT AT MIDVALLEY..It is at BANDRI SRI PERMAISURI (CHERAS)..Btw, the guy was called Ah LIM (24 years old, Chinese, Male, from N.Sembilan, hair slightly brown, and thin stature).

Location of office: 3rd Floor of office building with SGA Rejuvenating SPA. (Besides satay station)
Road: Jalan Dwitasik 2

I was relieved as I know this place and I can spot for all the landmarks and get help if I need to...So I went up to the office, and there was another guy waiting there (the boss). I remember HIS SHITTY face clearly until now. So he explained everything again to me about the prizes and why they do this contest bla bla bla...So, he suddenly mentioned that they need to copy down the serial number of bank notes as proof that I have RM4000 money in bank to show I can afford to pay for the road tax if I happen to get the car.In addition he said it was also for the government tax and shipping...[WTH, I really believed him] And I really went to withdraw the money from the ATMs..I did not know how much is the limit for my ATM and the fella can be smart enough to teach me how to increase the limit..OH GOSH, now when I am typing this, I really feel I was deeply fallen into their trap and perhaps... I got HYPNOSIS-ED. My mind did not tell me that this is wrong..SERIOUSLY it did not come up at all...

When I went up to the office again, I let them copy the serial number and they took the transaction receipt too as it is a proof that I withdraw the money but not robbed...The boss took my money and the forms and receipts. They DID NOT PROVIDE me with receipts of the payment and they DID NOT ALLOW ME TO TAKE PICTURE OF THE DOCUMENTS. Haiz...clearly at this point I should have known this is wrong...BUT...I did not feel a single thing..OMG! Ah LIM, continue with me to do the scratch of the coupon. BULL SHIT, I got the weird JADE MATTRESS! Not car, not trip (which they claimed to be exchangeable to CASH). And I said I want my money back. I don't need this. Then he say he can help me to sell it and after dealing with "the buyer" through phone, he said he can sell it at RM16K. I said no way so high..he told me, well this mattress is expensive in Sinapore..bla bla bla..so can get high price...And I said, ask the fella to come now, I want my money now. He gave excuses that the buyer not around here and promised to come deal with me this sunday at Jusco Kepong. I can do nothing that time...So I took the mattress and left. They booked a taxi on the spot to send me back..

Finally, I called my BF..and he was FURIOUS. So he quickly drove to our place and when we got up to the office, Ah LIM left, and there was only a girl there, she claimed she doesn't know a thing about the deal so asked me to find Ah LIM back. My BF wanted to took a picture of the office but she said cannot..F***.

Without anymore effort we went home.. And finally knew that this is a stupid scam. I got home with only mattress and lost RM4000. I felt so helpless..and with the advice from friends, I've decided to report this to the police at Bandar Sri Permaisuri. We were told that this scam has been happening for a while there with reported cases of 2-3/week and has stopped for two weeks. Now, I am the first victim again after 2 weeks. The thing is, they knew where is the office, they know most of the victims are students, but they did not do ANYTHING TO HELP or STOP these CRIMINALS..OMG..At least, with the report, I will do what I can do to hopefully catch these bastards! Even if I can't get my money back, I must make people alert of these peoples...

Of course, I can't blame anyone as I was greedy until the end that time...

So, learn my mistakes and ALWAYS, REMEMBER THAT "I AM NOT SO LUCKY TO GET SUCH PRIZES", then you may not be so easily fallen for their trap..Also, be smart to take whatever pictures, receipts, IC copy or at least remember the name and IC no..easily for us to file a case at Tribunal court. In my case, it's difficult for me to get to Tribunal court as I have no evidence of anything..

What I have learnt:
1. Do not ever stop or take any of the coupons of stuff
2. Do not let them know you are student
3. Do not let them know you have money
4. CALL for help...CALL Friends, family when they ask for money
5. Do not be greedy
6. Do be careful at these places of scams (Sg. Wang, Times Square, BTS, KL central, monorail, LRT)
7. Possibly Do not go out alone..

These people are mean to cheat my money, but I am THANKFUL that they DID NOT HARM me. This is definitely something I MUST BE EXTRA CAREFUL..I could have been raped, killed or kidnapped at the first place...


I will upload more pictures for the coming time..With that, TQ


Pls help to spread this news around to create awareness among the people especially students. They are always the prey for this stupid scam..

Back to blogging

It's been super long since I last posted in my blog. Pretty sorry for the delay..=(

I've been through many things lately..which will make my post super long today. Just to update my lovely readers, I'm currently on my final semester to graduation. I've just completed my study days and now waiting for exam in two weeks time. =) After the exam I will be free..and...go into another chapter of my life..

I will be going into the working life soon..Think of it makes me very stress and headache..

Oh..btw, I had went for my first interview last week. The interview was at SNB Global Health and Beauty Group. The company is in Kepong Baru and it is super near to my house. It was a good experience and also a bad one. I felt super emotional and down after the interview. They are looking for a nutritionist who can speak, write and read chinese. But unfortunately I can't, and this made them doubted about hiring me. Well, I cannot blame anyone, this is really my weakness and also somethings that I cannot improve in just a matter of few days or weeks of time..Haiz...what to do?!

Currently I am back to my hometown Ipoh and met up with my besties for lunch and shopping. It's been the greatest time I had. We were crazy enough to buy a 'gang shirt', whereby the design is the same for four of us..=) The only difference is the color of the blouse. Mine and Chia Wen's are white while the other two Lings are black..Cute? simple and nice..

In addition, yesterday I had BBQ at home with my family members.. 

My mum's secret recipe to delicious BBQ chicken wings...marinate with soy sauce, sugar, some oyster sauce, and black soy sauce. Then plus with good fire, the chicken wings will be super delicious..=P

Everyone, presenting my beloved hubby, Lee Jian Choong. Yea this is how he looks like while he is driving and dreaming and wondering what to eat...

Believe it or not, we are together for 5 years already..seems long but it's still very short for us to know each other even more...

Camwhoring before go out...

Currently I am using this Naruko's oil out night gelly..I super liking this..OMG makes my skin so smooth and firm the next morning...

You can get this at Watson @ RM 45/jar (60g)

Okie...i got to go now...Will try to update again soon...

Take care,

Love,
