today has been such a dark day

I just get to know that my grandma has just passed away......
Was on Skype 2 hours ago and mom says she and my dad might be going back to Sitiawan next week to visit her... Yet things happened.

I have no regret at all. At least I spend time and had a great time with her for past 2 years.

During last CNY, we roughly celebrate at all as she suffered from dementia. Then later found out that she suffered from ovarian cancer as she has sudden loss of weight.

Has been staying with her during my Pediatrics posting in Hospital Manjung for 4 months. Wasn't easy to stay with an elderly but I have make it. I have tried my best to be the best grandchild. I will bring her anywhere she wanted to go. I would say I treat her better than her child treated her. I am grateful that I went back to celebrate CNY with her every year, unlike some of her children.

The last time I saw her was during my 3 weeks holidays, roughly a month ago. My parents wanted to go back Sitiawan so I offer myself to drive them back. She was bedridden but she still recognise me. Sometime getting better, sometime worst.

In another way, I hope she go in peace with no suffer, especially having cancer at old age is just so suffering.
有时就是解脱。


And with the incidence of MH 370 flight, may everyone be safe.

MIVVA beauty box Christmas Edition

It is really sad to hear that MIVVA is going to stop it's beauty box and focus more on their online store. MIVVA is really the best beauty box compare to other which is available in the market currently. MIVVA beauty box Christmas Edition is going to be the last box for 2013.


I have deleted all the photos taken in my phone so I get all the photos from MIVVA website.





As you can see from photo above, Christmas edition box is so FULL!


Neuzell Oxyvene Bubble Cleanser 10ml
RM 89.90 for 100ml


I am using this currently as cleanser at night. My bottle has some pump problem but it's not a big deal. It is good as it has bubble but doesn't cause dryness to the face after using it. It is also effective on acne-prone skin.




URIAGE Gyn-Phy Feminine Wash
RM 24,90 for 200ml


No this is not a facial cleanser but a feminine wash!! hahaha! Luckily Fiona remind me before I used it. It is very gentle and the scent is acceptable. I got a 50ml from MIVVA box and I think it is totally sufficient for me to use one whole year! It only need pea-size amount for that area.




Redflo Hair Shampoo
RM 69.90 for 750ml


I get 2 sachets in my beauty box and this shampoo helps restore brittle, dull or dry hair. Everyone must have their hair problem and this shampoo helps to make hair more stronger and smoother.


 

Beautymate Cherry Blossom 2-in-1 Baby Skin Ultra Moisture Barrier Mask + Natural Care Moisturizing Peeling Gel
RM 9.90 for 1 piece mask & 2ml Peeling Gel


I have used the moisture barrier mask and I nearly throw away because I did not read about the peeling gel, luckily I read it before I throw it away. My face feel so moist after using it. Haven't use the feeling gel but I'll use it tonight!




Secretleaf Men Original Face Wash
RM 15.90 for 95ml


This is the first time we received a men's product. I gave it to my brother hopping he will give a good comment about it.




Miacare Acne Patch
RM 9.50 - RM 13.70


I have tried this product long before MIVVA box give us this sample. I would say it is effective on acne which is 'rippen', not for those which is too big.




SHAIRE LONDON Silk Classic COllection Hair Perfume (Dry Shampoo)
RM 35.90 for 60 ml


Although this is not the first time I heard about dry shampoo but it is the first time I am using it. I am so not use to it although it does make the hair feel fresh and clean, but I just need to wash my hair everyday. It is good to spray it on before leaving the house to make the hair look fresh.




Posh Foot & Body Lotion
RM 129 for 250ml


I have too many lotion to use after subscribing MIVVA box! It moisture and hydrate my skin very well.





Lastly, a loofah again from MIVVA box. Love it so much. and a mystery gift, which is a pair of earring but... I don't pierce my earlobe so I gave it to my sister.


Time passes so fast. I remember I subscribed first MIVVA box during Chinese New Year and now... MIVVA box going to ceased out... kinda sad... However, I enjoy very much during this year and get to know a lot different products and brands from MIVVA box. I truly wish them all the best!

Reflection

现在的孩子,真败家。

Was in Adidas shop today as my brother wanted to buy a sport shoes. Here came a father and a teenage son. The son was asking to buy an ipod thingy which cost around RM 100+ and the father was saying 'i don't have money!'. It was quite loud and my mom and I turn unintentionally and I think the father was embarrassed. I regretted that I turn and see.

At last, the teenager get what he wanted. I did not see his father anywhere nearby... How come a child can't understand their parents bitterness?  I will be so sad to be the father.

Well, the same thing happened to my brother as well. He wanted to buy a sport shoes and I tell him find a shoes that not more than RM 200. There are sales everywhere and you can easily get a sport shoes under Adidas or Nike just less than RM 200. But after looking around, he wants some shoes that is much more expensive. So I tell him either get it or leave it.

Then he started make sour face. Then my mom came and help him to find. I told my mom, just give him RM 250 and let him buy himself. If it exceed the budget then he just has to pay himself.

End up he got an Adidas worth RM 360! Wtf. Just because of his sour face? Seriously I was pissed... Like for 5 minutes. Mom was complaining how he spend but end up letting him spent as he like... How to teach if my mom behaving like that. I can't say anything because she is my mom and she got her own way of teaching. But if I were her, I will just give the amount that I think is appropriate and you just have to pay yourself if it exceed the budget. Seriously, you can just get a Bata sport shoes instead!

Teenager nowadays is so branded minded! I seriously was really afraid of these kind of people. My brother was asking for a Macbook Air, Ipad, new phone. Some times I just feel like give a slap on his face. How come he can't empathy my parents?

I am brand minded as well but I know I am not working and I do not earn any money yet so I don't ask for luxury things from my parents! If I want to buy something, I will pay with my savings. I bought my own phone when I work part time. If I want bags or cosmetics or skin care, I use my own saving money as well. I don't really ask extra money for things I want... I won an Ipad. If not, I never thought of owning one at all! I have all the money for beautybox is because I get monthly incentive from Themalaysiastreet.

Everytime I see these things, I'll reflect on myself and remind myself not to be someone like them. Can't they see the living cost is rising and parents are barely trying very hard to support a family, support their child to college or university, trying to pay insurance. Ending up how much they can save for a month to backup for emergencies like illness or accident?


Seriously, please, think! Be wise! Be understanding.


Sometimes I hate myself for being so understanding. Why can't I be 败家 as well?

MBBS Final Professional Examination Part 1

As the title above, I PASSED!





Nobody will ever know how it feels! I have go through so much for this. Nobody will understand how I feel day before exam, during exam and right before the result was announced!


We just finish our last paper today. Result was suppose to come out tomorrow. However, at 3pm, our batch leader suddenly ask us to come back to college because result will be announced at 4pm!!! I was so not prepared for that. I think I have panic attack.


I have phobia. It was all like 3 years back again, when I failed my first Professional exam, where I was left alone. Then I climb up myself. Did I ever thought of give up? Yes! Definitely! And the person who always stay beside me are my parents. Today is the day I repay them and myself. Nobody ever go through what I went through. Nobody know how deep I fall. I am lucky that I am able to climb up back, prove that I can do it.


Until I heard my matrix number being call out. It was such a relief. I wasn't confident at all. Of course I hope I passed but you will never know until it really happened.





Thank you very much for everyone who assist me along the journey. Thank you to my discussion group that really help me during discussion. I am sure I will not make it if I did not join the discussion group. I am glad that my housemate and I passed the exam all together. Even though we have argument and disagreement, we are still friends.




Coincidentally, we all wear green!!! We never planned it and did not even realize it until our batchmate point it out! Glad that we all passed! They sit beside me just like the arrangement you see in the photo. My name was called first. It was such a relief with palpitation. Then Wana's name was called, she broked down and cry on my shoulder. 3 minutes later, Deep's name was called and she also cry and hugged me. Then both of them was like crying and hugging me and Mr Hazem, our Surgery lecturer saw and he smiled......





There are a few who did not pass and I hope that they will passed their resit paper. I totally understand that because I have gone through it... Hope to see them in Sem 10.


Finally, I have 3 weeks holidays and finally I am able to celebrate Chinese New Year for 15 days straight!!!!!!

13-14

I am surprised that I did not blog on last day of 2013.
2013 had been very good to me, yet I still have ups and downs. I would like to conclude that it has more ups than downs...





First day of 2014, start off with ups and downs too. A lot choice to choose today.... To be happy or sad, to go or not to go, to be or not to be.


2014 will be a very important year for me. I don't do resolution because I don't believe in it. But this year, I wish I am able to graduate on June. More important, to pass my Professional Exam Part 1 in this coming 16th January. 2014, please be good on me. Let me pass then celebrate CNY like nobody business please. Then let me pass Professional Exam Part 2 in June. I really need this!


Today was a great day. I get to spent time with my friends, which more like family than friend. I am blessed to know Mei and her families and we are like family. Her brother, Shawn, cook all this for us! As if we won't be able to eat this again!




And my love! They are really special to me! I actually wish she is my daughter. 










Really miss the time we had especially our trip before their graduation.

Bag of Love-Go, Girl, Go! November Edition

This is the second time I subscribed Bag of Love. They always attracted me to subscribed their bag with teaser and hints in their facebook. I am not really a fans of bag but this time, I subscribed it because they announced that there will be a Panasonic product in the bag. I search in Panasonic website for possible item to include in the bag. My wild guess will be tweezer, eyelashes curler or electronic toothbrush.





At first I thought most probably it will be eyelashes curler because it is closer to a beauty item. Guess what's inside the bag?!







It is a electronic toothbrush!!!!! I was thrill when I saw this!!! My sister is studying dental now and she keep emphasize how good is a electronic toothbrush. She actually bought one herself!






I would say Bag of Love is becoming more and more impressive for me. I always keep an eye on their facebook and wait for their teaser. I admit it is really fun and exciting!







Panasonic Pocket Doltz Toothbrush (FULL SIZE)
RM 99


This is totally worth it for every penny I spent on this month bag! As I say above I was thrill to see this. I never thought I will get a electronic toothbrush and I can't wait to try it out! The down side is that it need battery to work. I would prefer the one which is chargeable one but never mind! I am still very hype up to get this and I don't care what other product I am going to get in the bag!!

Updates: I just found out there is various colour for this electronic toothbrush including black and orange! Well... I am damn happy to get silver colour!!! Not a fans of orange colour and black don't look good on the toothbrush as well! hahaha...







Clarins Double Serum
RM 280 for 30ml


I used to work in Clarins during my holidays so I know how good Clarins products are. They included 7 days trial of serum and also a little secret after the last pack. There is a redemption card at the back where we can get free skin consultation and also 2 pieces of gift set worth RM 60.








Elizabeth Arden Red Door Aura EDT
RM 275 for 100ml


It is a sample vial and a voucher for coming Christmas set. I am really particular in perfume and this have floral and woody scent as the same time.





Dove Hair Therapy Hair Fall Rescue Shampoo (FULL SIZE)
RM 4.40 for 90ml
Dove Hair Therapy Hair Fall Rescue Conditioner (FULL SIZE)
RM 4.40 for 80ml


My biggest problem for hair is hair fall. I am so happy to get this 2 products as I have never tried their shampoo range before. I only use Dove body bath before. My hair fall problem is really the biggest headache. My hair fall every second and minutes. Luckily I have thick hair gene so my hair is still very thick despite my serious hair fall problem and I have tonnes of baby hair.





Lastly, a full size of Olay Regenerist Revitalising Serum for 50ml from which I won from the contest organised by Bag of Love!








I do think the did a great job in having contest and interacting their subscribers. I am really attract to this found out we get updates and teaser from their facebook. It is very interesting to see how they interact. They have contest every month after sending out that month's bag. The products for giveaway usually related to the product in last bag, which from a sample size product, you may have the chance to get a full size product.

I started to like Bag of Love very much. There is possibility I might start subscribe Bag of Love constantly in future. They have 3 full sizes products this month including a electronic toothbrush worth RM 99!!! How rare for a beauty bag to do this with only RM 39.90 for a month subscription! Although subscribing a beauty box/bag is not about full size, but who don't want full size product?!


p/s: whoever want the Levi's bag or missed this month's bag may ask from me. I don't think I'll use the bag. Just that you need to bare the postage fee. I'll give it to you for free!






MIVVA beauty box November 2013 Edition- BFF sleepover kit

MIVVA box has been very impressive so far. I have subscribed since last February without missing any month. This month's theme will be BFF sleepover kit.





There are 5 items in this month's box and MIVVA has back to their signature--a little surprise gift this month.




Product included:
Antipodes Joyful Hand & Body Cream
Neula 5 in 1 Oil Control Face Lotion (FULL SIZE)
Facial Essence Collagen Mask (FULL SIZE)
Stage Nail Colour (FULL SIZE)
ONL Dermost Moistay Cream





Antipodes Joyful Hand & Body Cream
RM 149 for 120ml


Antipodes cream has been very good actually. It does not have sticky feeling after applying it like any other hand and body cream product. I like it very much as I don't like product that make my hands feel sticky after applying it. It also has a pleasant smell and rich texture. They also included a RM 20 gift voucher for Antipodes products.





Neula 5 in 1 Oil Control Face Lotion (FULL SIZE)
RM 22.90 for 30ml


I wasn't expecting this as few days before MIVVA post out the beauty box, they had a teaser on their facebook and instagram. From the photo, obviously there will be a tube cleanser and I was expecting that. I am very happy to received the face lotion instead of cleanser. I have lots of cleanser waiting me to use it up.

I tried this product soon after I received it as it claims to give moisturize without greasiness. 5 in 1 as in anti-pimple, oil control, pores minimizer, rejuvenate and soothes. Pimples, pores and oily face are always my main concern as I have combination skin type. My face tends to get oily very frequent.

Out of my surprise, after using it for 1 week, I found that it is very effective, especially in day time. I experiment it in a week. Every morning after face wash and routine skin care, I'll apply Neula Oil Control Face Lotion before sunscreen. Then I'll apply my make up. Usually my make up only last until noon, which is around 12pm and it started to melt and I will feel oiliness on my face, even though I am using a foundation claimed to be matte for 24 hours. After using this face lotion, my make up will hold up to 3-4pm. My face don't oiled up so fast now. I am so happy!!

I'll definitely buy this product myself after I finished up this bottle. It is so affordable as it is only RM 22.90 and it is effective. I do wish their BB cream have the same effect as well.




Facial Essence Collagen Mask (FULL SIZE)
RM 198.80 for 8 sheets


Honestly, I have never heard of this brand before. I used it on the day I received it. I think it just have the same effect as any other mask. I do feel a bit expensive for a collagen mask.




Stage Nail Colour (FULL SIZE)
RM 35 for 11ml


I got the nail colour No. 12 which was the same as what I bought from Stage a year back. Such a coincident that MIVVA gave me the same colour. My old one has dried up and it just arrived at the right time! I like the colour and intensity but I wish it can dry up faster.




ONL Dermost Moistay Cream
RM 144.90 for 60ml
ONL Dermost Moistay Fresh Gel Cream
RM 144.90 for 60ml


I haven't try on this and hopefully it is suitable for my skin type. Hope that it won't become oily after I use it. I might try Gel Cream first as it is more suitable for my oily skin.





And finally, the little gift from MIVVA team! They included a bath loofah, which I wanted to buy for quite some time yet I am lazy to get it. So happy cause they are like mind reader and know what I need at the right time. That is why I like MIVVA the most compare to any other beauty box/bag.





Sometimes I do thought of trying other beauty box and stop subscribing MIVVA box because I am still a student and have limited fund for extra stuff. So I sometime fall into dilemma in choosing which to subscribe. However, I still think MIVVA is the best. Seem like they have less interaction in facebook with their subscribers. I do wish if they announce when they deliver their parcel so that I am able to expect when the parcel reach my home. I also do wish to have some teaser or mystery hint of product included in the box before they send it out. This is just my little suggestion of making the beauty box better than others.

MIVVA beauty box October 2013 Edition- Snow White

Mirror mirror on my hand, who is the fairest in the land?


This month MIVVA beauty box theme is 'Snow White'. However, I do find this month content is the most bored among all these months that I have subscribed. Honestly, I do feel disappointed. Because it seem like they are just being careless of this month's items.





There are 5 items in the box. There is no special gift from MIVVA team this month unlike previous month, they don't fail to give a little surprise from themselves and not included in the product description.





Product included:
Beautymate Birdnests & Lilium Candidum Firming Rejuvenate Nano Mask (FULL SIZE)
Hydra 24 Creacked Heel Cream
Unico Pearl Scar Cream
Secretleaf Argan Hydrating Cleanser (FULL SIZE)
ONL Ecopure White Balance Skin Toner and Emulsion






Beautymate Birdnests & Lilium Candidum Firming Rejuvenate Nano Mask (FULL SIZE)
RM 49.90 for 7pcs

3rd mask from Beautymate in MIVVA box. It is very moisturizing and feel so soft after using it.





Hydra 24 Cracked Heel Cream
RM 23.90 for 50g

Lucky me that I don't have cracked heel. I will give this to whoever who wants it!





Unico Pearl Scar Cream
RM 198.80 for 15g

I am actually very happy to get this scar cream. But I don't know how to use it because there is no instruction on using it. Should it be use as skin care or make up? Because of the texture, the skin tend to become very white after using it. Kinda like foundation instead. It feel weird to use as skin care. So... I haven't use it because I don't know how to use.







Secretleaf Argan Hydrating Cleanser (FULL SIZE)
RM 21.90 for 95ml

I like this full size cleanser! I got the Secretleaf Pure Oil Series 01 in MIVVA beauty box March 2013 edition and finish the whole bottle of cleanser last month! So great to have this. This is why I like MIVVA beauty box. They seem like know what I need.





ONL Ecopure White Balance Skin Toner and Emulsion
RM 89.90 for 120 ml
ONL Oceaniq 3d Antiwrinkle Total Solution CC
RM 149.90 for 35 ml

Lastly, another Ecopure product.





This month's MIVVA box is a little disappointing. I think they need to keep it up since there is more and more other beauty box and beauty bags around. Introduce more interesting product and decrease the frequency of keep repeating same brand again and again. They lost their signature this month of giving extra gift in their box like previously. They keep advertise about the ePure Jelly Mask in their facebook but they didn't include it in this month box so it's kinda contraindicate a bit for me. They should give us try then we might buy it from their sales last week. After all, they are still my top choice of subscribing a beauty box because of the full size products included in the beauty box.
