New Dairy Queen Opened at Lambak!

Okay. Oops, so now you know where I live.

Anyway, this isn't an advertisement LOL I'm just so happy about the opening, I'd like to share it with you guys!

Dairy Queen, or DQ caused my fats to develop a lot in 2009.
With it being so close now, I pray it doesn't get back to that. Always, always order small unless you're gonna share it with someone ;P

So here are some photos I managed to snap of the place, I asked permission too (from inside only and not all):

Friendly staff :)

A cozy place to catch up with friends :) 

Last photo before I had to take my Blizzard before it melts!!

What I missed taking photos of is the exterior of the place and also a corner where you can use the internet for free (I think so) with a maximum of 30 minutes. I dunno if they provide wi-fi. The computers provided are Macs btw. There are two of them. Side by side.

They have a tiny sink there :) which is nice.

Basically it seems like a nice place to hang out! If you live close by.

Oh yeah, and Pizza Hut (for takeaways and deliveries) is next to it too :) What's DQ without Pizza Hut, right?

I honestly really liked the design!

The chairs look comfy.

Unfortunately I was there only for a takeaway of one of my favourite Blizzards:

Green Tea Chocolate!

It melted just as soon as I stepped outside LOL.

It was a hot day.

So yeah, yay for us Lambak-ians!!

If I ever crave for them, I can just go there, no need to prettify myself. Maybe.

Oh man, now I crave pizza D:

Okay, take care then guys!

"Wanna Be Sweet?" Etude House + Grocery Shopping Haul

Random opening yeah? With this title.

Tomato juice right now, is my best friend. Even though, my skin is peeling like hell. I dunno if it's done a good effect as of yet, but it IS the "Blood of Youth". I mean, Just look at how red it is!!

Blood. BLOOD OF TOMATOES!!

The carton of the one I drink right now. TIPCO :)

Personally, I think it's more liquidy than Dimes Tomato Juice, but a lot expensive also. But still cheaper than the organic one I saw. Maybe the organic one would taste better, who knows.

OH YEAH. I saw this guy get two cartons of tomato juice tonight D: ENEMY. STAY AWAY FROM TIPCO!!! IT'S MINEEEEEEEE.

Just kidding ;)

Tonight I decided to do a test of the Dolly Wink retractable liner. I was like, "OH GOSH, CAN APPLY SO THIN!!!" I was amazed. Actually, it was my skill rather than the liner itself.

HAHA, JOKING.

It was easy to control. And it was also still quite opaque even with over my shadow (which you can't see here lol). Unfortunately, it DID smudge, but just a little. Nothing so sad. It didn't fade, just smudged, especially on the lower lash line.

Freshly applied. So thin!!

So, tonight we went to Hua Ho Mall to get my sister some bras. I got myself one cute one also. Just $8, so ;3 actually there was a $3 one, but it was too thin. Even though I have no boobs (considering how fat I am) I don't think I'd want a thin one D:

Male readers, close your eyes.
Since my period is coming sooner than expected, better get ready.

Might as well, right? lol.

Bra and Womanly Needs.

After grocery shopping at Hua Ho, we went to Times Square. It was already around 9 :O wow. So late. I had some maki sushi and my Mint Milk Tea. I ordered Okonomiyaki but it came late, so I just tapau-ed it *ate some for late supper*.

This is my sister's order. Haru Maki. Spring Roll. LOL. I didn't eat it.

My Mint Milk Tea that was smiling :)

 Other than the bra and the...womanly needs, I also got this tea :) Haven't tried it. But I DO love the brand!! So, I'm excited.

The Nutrilite thing is from Amway. I decided to try and balance my mood with B Complex. I shall try it tomorrow.

"Food" Section.

 Other than that, I decided to get a moisturizer. I asked for moisturizer, the person recommended this. Okay lah, I'll try it. I hope it's okay :) it has sakura ): I'm afraid I might be allergic, but hopefully not. I mean, I HAVE walked amongst sakura trees!! D: I didn't sneeze or anything!

Have you tried this brand before?

 OHH, and here it comes!! The grand finale of sorts.
My Etude House Haul!!

Mini haul? Meh.
I decided to just use my $20 voucher for tonight. It was quite late, didn't get to browse long enough ): So I just went to get nailpolishes and a lip liner.

Wanna be sweet??

Goodies inside :O

6 polishes and a lip liner :)

 I feel bad for the sales assistants because it was so late already ): had only 15 minutes to browse. Just quickly chose colours, didn't get to swatch the polishes.

I can tell you, only two of these are opaque at one coat.
Two at two coats.
Maybe one at three.

And one that I looked forward the most, even 4 coats didn't do it D:<

LIKE WTF.

Just horrible ):

Okay, I'll tell you. It's the Mint Green one.

Sad. I wanted a Choco Mint nail theme but that failed. It just looks like a faded white, very pale. Like, it's pretty, but not that pretty. Nor was it perfect either ):

I'm gonna redo my nails tomorrow. I might just decide a Tigger theme :)

This amounted to BND$22.30.
Which means.....

*drumroll*

.
.
.
.
.

TA-DA!!!!!

I'm a "princess" now!!

 Tee-hee. But it didn't say how much discount I get :O
Except for birthday discount.

Some say 15%, let's hope so.

Oh yeah, I was checking the lip liner and...

So short. That's the max it can go.

For $4.90 I guess...it's okay.
The refills are the same price too, but dunno how much in one refill box.

I hope it's more than one.

Oh yeah, the nailpolishes are $2.90 each.

I want to try the matte ones which are $4.90 each.

I guess next time, I'm gonna get a top coat and a base coat, dunno if I want from TheFaceShop or Etude House. But yeah :)

I guess I'm happy with tonight's things.

My mood swings are calmed down today too.

Thank goodness.

I'm happy :)

So yay.

I'm gonna go drink green tea :)

Thanks for reading (do I even have readers?)!!!

'til then!!

Of Etude House and PMD (and other things)

I went to Etude House in Times Square tonight lol.
I wanted to get something for my acne.

My acne cleanser was running out (St Ives one, the milder one) and I read many good reviews about AC Clinic treatment so I decided to buy a cleanser in the end. Lol, I actually wanted to get a waterproof concealer because the SkinFood one isn't waterproof (effin' sad because it's my favourite one) or an eyeshadow base (God, Canmake one sucks), I even contemplated getting a neutral quad but God, the pigmentation sucked LOL.

I think (sorry, if you love Korean cosmetics) that all the Korean cosmetics out there, in terms of eyeshadows, suck. They're all so glittery. Not shimmery, GLITTERY. Yes, you read that right, glitter.

Even Japanese ones are like that. I ask them why. They never answer, just give more glitter. GLITTER THIS, GLITTER THAT.

GLITTERMANIA.

I was swatching some of them, I thought some were nice but then I got distracted by all the unnecessary glitter. There was one of them that was basically glittermania and no pigmentation. And it was a brown one too!!! Like wtf.

LOL.

*end short rant*

Anyway, I asked the sales assistant (God, I loved her, I LOVED HER) about what the products are for, etc. I was testing her too, to see her knowledge, she was knowledgeable, which was commendable. Because, to remember all the details in a cosmetics shop is hard work. I think. Yeah. Plus she was nice and patient. Helpful especially. So I asked her what would be her recommendation for the clogged pores/small bumps inside the skin.

She recommended this:

AC Clinic White-Trouble Bubble Cleanser (cutest thing ever)

Not a lot of people favor this as it is gentler than the foaming cleanser? I read it that it's like that. But I used it tonight and I liked it :O It didn't leave my skin tight and it felt refreshed, even.

With that, she gave some samples of the same range :D

 I used the 2-step toner and the Pink Powder Spot treatment!!
The Essencializer is impossible to use!!!

LOL, sorry for the lack of picture editing, I'm too tired.
LOL, and I have a Miri trip tomorrow.

Dad already warned "No MAKEUP". But that means skincare is fine right?
I joke. I joke.

I plan to get clear contact lenses, some white stockings and a pair of shoes maybe.

Oh yeah, Etude House gave this recycle bag!!
It's so effin' adorable!!

Pink and Pretty-ful

Oh yeah, I forgot to blog about this but I also got these in the same week, a few days ago.

Mint Milk Tea from Excapade! It was delicious!!

Tekka Don :D Didn't get to devour all of it. Brought it home lol.

Le Sis and Me

Love pictures like these, weirdly.

Me and My Sister again. lol. My makeup was nearly flawfree on that night.

Nearly.

On that night, I got this!
Oh my. It's a discontinued product!!
Planning on stocking on it lol.
After discount, it was around BND10.90? Or something.

Chlorella Peeling Gel from SkinFood

I think I saw this on a Youtuber. It was 50 cents only! I bought 4, I gave one to my sis.

For tonight, lol. OMG. I forgot to take pics of food. WTF.

Had Pastamania.
Didn't like Pomodoro, seriously.
The pizza was so-so.
It had good crust though.

But aglio olio and cheese sticks never fail me!!

I look quite disheveled tonight.

Dry hair is dry.

OH YEAH, I also made an order of a PMD tonight! A Personal Microderm!!
It cost around BND220 with shipping and extra disks. Not too shabby.

LOL.

So that's about it. Tomorrow, Miri :DDD

Yep yep :DD

Expect just a very small haul.

G'night :DD

Yesterday's Food

For two days straight I didn't exercise and just eat and eat like hell.

LOL.

Had a heavy lunch with friends and a sushi date with the ex on Thursday. and then just eat and eat and eat after my facial appointment LOL. Swensens and then The Mall Foodcourt.

Today, I just went Mochi-ing with him and went to this Malaysian University Exhibition at the Orchid Garden Hotel. Due to the overwhelming use of the elevators, we had to climb EIGHT levels of stairs. When we reached there, it was really useless for both of us.

We had weird conversations here and there and I actually went to Tonymoly for the first time ever! They're having a sale right now so....I might just get one or two things next week before it ends LOL. I had my eyes on the body scrub and probably a matte blush.

Okay, food pic dump!!

Swensen's Mushroom Soup. A family favourite.

Coney Dog. It was awesome. Finished everything!

Chicken Hummus....it was blander than usual, forgot seasoning I guess.

My first taste of duck! I didn't really like it LOL

Thin Mint Milkshake :DD

Eat, eat, eat like hell :DDD

-Nisah-

Food Overload

Other than my haul, I also wanted to share some pics of the food I've consumed over the week XD

Hot Point's Chicken Baked Rice. Delicious.

Hot Point's Fruit Cocktail with Custard and Warm Honey Lemon.

Hot Point's Banana Fritters with Ice Cream. Funny dessert really. lol.

The Colony's Macarons. I had coconut and orange chocolate!

Astronaut Ice Cream. Was excited for this.

It's Neapolitan flavoured. To me, it has this malt marshmallow  taste . It  tasted nice.

Starbucks' Cinnamon Bun.

Starbucks Green Tea Cream with whipped cream and chocolate chips.

Dad's lunch lol. Sugarbun smoken fish thingy.

I had the nugget version of it. It was soggy lol.

I forgot to add, Starbucks Biscotti. I only tried the Chocolate Pistachio.

I really recommend Hot Point's Baked Rice! I especially love the vegetable one. The fruit cocktail dessert was also yummy. Just try them all! Go on!

I'm on a no-sweet food diet for a week. So...yeah lol. I hope I can survive.

Yogurt Twister

Twisted!!

Today's my parents' anniversary. We went to Excapade Sushi in Gadong. I was too busy eating I forgot to snap some pictures. I need to get myself a good camera first because my phone doesn't take pictures well in dim light and we all know that the main branch is always dark in atmosphere.

I tried out one of their new menus, one of the udons. They served it on a pot with fire and it kept on boiling the curry in it, burning my tongue. I had to request for the flames to be put out, only then did I enjoy my meal. I thought the salmon was supposed to be raw though, it came cooked. Disappointed.

Anyway, I wanted to go to a supermarket to buy dessert. I can't have food without my dessert, just like a spoiled child! I wanted ice cream but the place we went to didn't sell any. Bummer.

So~ I decided to buy a drink. It's ice blended, right? lol.

'Yogurt Twister' from Kokoberry!

I LOVE anything with yogurt! Even yogurt chocolate. It's so good. I really don't know why I love yogurt, I just do! Putting yogurt on your face...even though it's healthy...the smell is just----ugh. lol. But it can be refreshing.

Somehow tonight, the taste wasn't as good as the first time I tried it. I didn't taste the chocolate. I tasted the yogurt a little but then somehow it was bland.

In the pic, the snack behind the drink is also something I like eating. But none of that tonight...sad :(

Other than that, I also bought St. Ives 'Mineral Clay Firming Mask'! I wanted to buy this at Winmark but they didn't have it. I saw that it was BND$8.40 and thought that it was cheaper than other places. It's 134g though for the price :I I hate the pricing here. It's like what? $3.97 in the US? According to that website I checked anyway.

I've bought many different products this week, and weeks before that too. Some I liked, some...not so much.

But I'll still use them. I have two facial cleansers from The Face Shop, a Cyclax body scrub and body butter, a soap that's supposed to be good for the skin...I'll try and post pics on my next post.

What I like using so far is the Cyclax stuff and the soap. It's a Philippines product, the soap. I thought it would be drying like this other soap I tried but it's not! I'm not sure if I'm breaking out from it or what but problem areas like my cheeks and jawline hasn't had any for a few days. I've had two on my forehead and two on the sides of my eyes. I think my glasses need to be disinfected with alcohol :(

I did take a pic of my face before I used the soap, so I'll see in two weeks to see if there are any positive changes. I also use it on my body.

So, tonight I'm gonna see if the mineral clay mask dries out my spots or not. I pray to God that it does. I hope it works for me!!! I don't want any wastage going on like that friggin' shampoo. I might give it away to someone whose hair suits that effin' shampoo. I just don't want to look at it anymore! It depresses me.

I guess it depresses me more because I bought it with my own money. I'm a student without allowances so...it's just sad.

Sigh. I haven't tried it to wash my brushes. I might try tonight.

Either way, I hope it works. At least, for something.

I'm so full from dinner!! Might sleep early tonight.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't wear makeup tonight, no need to cleanse face like hell. I don't like using the makeup remover that mom bought for me from Etude House. It's too oily. It also has mineral oil!

Happy Anniversary, mom and dad~ I think it's their 32nd Anniversary? I think so.

Mogu Mogu

Yesterday, other than buying the disastrous shampoo mentioned here, I also bought chocolate and a drink. The chocolate is something I'm used to buying but the drink is something new.

I tried out this juice:
'Mogu Mogu: Pineapple Juice', 320 ml

Cute, ain't it? Bad quality pic, sorry!

What it contains:

- Pineapple Juice 25%
- Nata de coco 25%
- Fructose 4%
- Sucrose 4%
- Citric Acid 0.1%
*Artificial colour and nature identical flavour preservative added* (weird, lol)

Hmmmm, it's a product of Thailand, but it uses Japanese. Weird, huh? I guess in some ways, it appealed to me as I like Japanese food. Despite that, this is not Japanese. Another selling point was that it had nata de coco, which is a chewy coconut jelly.I LOVE anything with nata de coco!!! There were also other flavours but I chose pineapple because I like pineapple juice in general, and the fruit too.

This is also a 'halal' product, which is also good :D

My thoughts on it?
I like it!

It's a refreshing juice, I was in the car and I just drank it while eating the chocolate too. To me the sweet-tooth, it wasn't that sweet, despite it having nata de coco. I guess it kinda neutralizes the sweetness when you chew the jelly. I think it also has soluble fiber.

I'm not really sure about the health content but I wouldn't buy this often anyway. My favourite drink will always be a glass of cold water. I bought this at a supermarket and the price was BND$1.00.

Other flavours are grape, lychee, strawberry and mango I think. I shall try them another time. I don't like lychee flavoured drinks as much, I prefer the fruit so I might think hard if I were to try it.

But I really have to say that this was a refreshing discovery as I've always been curious about it.

My only beef would be the price but then I think it's originally sold with a BND$1.20 price tag? I guess it should be fine.

I think it's sold worldwide? I'm not sure but it's definitely sold in Brunei.

At least there was something worthwhile from yesterday's purchase...

If you have the chance, do try it out!!
