International Iftar at UTP

Today was the 'International Iftaar Day' at UTP (universiti teknologi petronas). Its my third ramadan here but a very first time to attend such an event. Turned out pretty amazing and the food was so delicious. There were over 8 countries presenting their yummilicious food.including Egypt Iran Turmenistan Pakistan,Yemen,South Aftrica,Vietnam etc.
The interesting part was that this was all organized by the students and they all did it really well !! The event was not only about food but also the culture and environment, there was a quiz regarding Islamic history and prizes were given to the  the ones who gave correct answers. Overall it was a good experience to break fast with a lot of people; not only muslims but also non-muslims which was uniquely awesome in its own way

I captured a few dishes, couldn't capture them all cause it soon got all rushy as Athan was anounced!

Enjoy the pictures and  Ramadan kareem=)

Can't live without Coffee?

Whose up for a cup of Coffeee?????? :D 

 

I don't have enough words to tell how much i love COFFEE! Normally at home i love to do my coffee the traditional way; by beating it with sugar and water until its color turns light brown (and roasting the mixture ) before pouring milk in, but i do not likely have the time to do it that way while during the semester =(

So i just use the boring INSTANT coffee mix!! Thumbs up to the Slave of Addiction?Hit the like button ;)

Anyway a couple of months back i got introduced to this instant coffee mix. This is so good, and by good i mean its so foamy. I can tell you would be surprised when you pour in the hot water!
Whats special about this brand is that unlike other instant coffee mixes it feels more real and is thicker...like a real cappuccino. So those who love coffee with milk would totally dig it !



A NOTE TO ALL THE COFFEE LOVERS OUT THERE : Drink it sip it lick it but remember "Excess of everthing is bad" So keep it moderate. Coffee is good (specially if its a decaff) but too much of coffee is bad for health! Keep the dose of Calcium high on everyday diet, cause Coffee sucks the calcium outta your bones!

THE BODY SHOP: Body Moisturizers Review

I guess my love for strawberries will never die, i can eat em, gobble em, rub em all over myself and still not get enough of em :D

Owning a Strawberry Body Butter from THE BODY SHOP is a pleasure to me... ;)  (thumbs up to the exaggeration).

I Totally LOVE Scents like crazy; this particular body butter is scented and so it falls in my love category....( Love in bold tells the gravity of my love for it ;) )

Whats so good about this fruity creamy body butter?

• It hydrates your skin very well even if you apply a little yet adequate amount.
• It doesn't feel heavy like those thick creams. 
• It doesn't give an oily effect to the skin
• The scent lasts for a long time. ( Thumbs up to Sniffers, and it does smell like real strawberry seeds --> yumm..)
• The product is against animal testing :D ( I'm an animal lover so it's one thing that i consider good about this product )

You can get a regular size for $20. Its worth the money you spend on it.

Comments:

The product is nice to use even as a night cream ( on your hands and feet or legs or where ever you want), you do not necessarily have to use it only when your skin is scraping off :P
I personally love the strawberry scented how ever there are other best sellers too... you can check them out HERE along with the pricing.

This product is not for face so please get a separate one for your face :D

MAYBELLINE New York: ClearSMOOTH Shine Free Face Powder Trial

MAYBELLINE FOR ASIAN SKIN

Maybelline is an American Makeup Brand, owned by L'Oréal. They have a variety of Makeup products.
Recently I got a ClearSMOOTH Shine-Free Face powder for trial and it turned out pretty good. As i  mentioned before my skin type is combination,  [T-Zone] and for a tropical weather in Malaysia, its so so so so important to keep a face powder with you all the time! Specially for people with oily skin ! ( It gets really annoying ) Anyway why i recommend this specific product is for a number of reasons that i'll share with you 

xD ..

WHY MAYBELLINE ClearSMOOTH???

• It gives a totally natural look and is available in many shades for asian skin :D
• It gives a good oil-control for a longer time ( my experience around 8 hours in tropical weather)
• Its doesn't give a 'CAKEY' effect to your face
• Feels light and natural...You can wear it over your sunblock and you won't even feel heavy
• Lasts longer on the skin and gives a smooth and monotonous look ( I guarantee that ) :P
• It comes with SPF 18++, 
• Its Cheap-but-Decent choice.

What I did NOT like about this product is the puff, which is too thin and does not have the strip on the top to hold the puff in the right way. However this is still good for the price of the product itself :D (Let's be a little less demanding here ;) )

TIPS:

1. If you have dry skin, try to apply a face moisturizer prior to applying this product. Or you could even apply your liquid/cream/mousse foundation prior to it.

2. Be careful not to apply it under the eye because the skin is thin and dry around that area, so you wouldn't wanna make it more dry.

MAC Brush Review - Must Have Brushes for Eye Makeup Freaks!!

I am a total eye makeup freak! If you are one too, you've got to get these brushes!

MAC 239: Eye Shader Brush
For the inner eye and eye lids, This brush can really make the eye shadow look concentrated and bold on your eye lids. Its firm yet flexible at the same time. Its also used to highlight the brow bones with a lighter (preferably shimmer) shade.

MAC 275:Medium Angled Shading Brush
For outer eye, area about eye crease and to the sides under the brow. This brush really defines your crease well, and since its tapered, its easy to use,even for an unprofessional. And its THE BEST for blending the colors from crease into the lid.

MAC Fluid Eye Liner Brush :You can use this for upper lid or lower lid,  Its convenient to use rather than those thin eye liner brushes. This one comes in a package with the tiny MAC Fluidline Eyeliner bottle. I love this brush cause its great for smudging my liner on the lower lid. ( i personally like that look.)
(you can see it in the second picture )

Why MAC ?

I've been using these two brushes for over a year now, and they are still good. If you take care of them, they probably wont wear off in even 2 years. But its always good to replace brushes after a year or so, its more hygenic! xD

KINTA CITY : Sightseeing in Malaysia (Perak)

How to get more lives in Candy Crush on your s3,iPhone,iPad?

I'm having a biggest addiction of this fairly new game called CANDY CRUSH. The fever started when i started receiving many notifications from my friends on Facebook, to send them a life and stuff!
So anyway when i started playing i got completely hooked onto it !

Just before i complete a level and i run out of lives, my eyes roll into the top right corner saying " NEXT LIFE IN 5.blabla Minutes". And i totally HATE IT!!!

I'm sure many people go on around asking others to send them lives, well guess what?? You dont have to do that anymore! GET UNLIMITED LIVES !!

HOW? 
Just go to your phone settings > Time and Date Settings> Change time to 3 hours ahead.
 (for example if its 5 pm change it to 8 pm. )
Open candycrush and your lives will be full!
You'll have to keep repeating that !

When you want to change time back to normal, make sure you're lives are full before changing the time back to normal.:)

Loreal Paris - Ultimate Gloss

Another pair of items off shelf... I love these loreal lip glosses. They really give you a final touch up when you're going for any event!!! Like...'Any event '
So what I tried on was glamor and sweet pink... You can wear these two colors just with any theme /colored dress and it will just make it look perfect.

The best thing about the gloss is that it's thick and it's not going to wear off in matter of minutes (unless you're trying too hard to wipe it off)  :P

So it's not just the color its also the amazing shine that comes with it. It has this fine glitter which gives a really lush look.

LANEIGE -(Water Supreme Primer Base) Review

 BEST FOUNDATION BASE FOR COMBINATION SKIN TYPE!

A new flashy function, party, celebration coming up? And you are worried about how to keep up your makeup last longer? LANEIGE solves the problem!!

I've been trying out Primers from various brands but not many suited my skin, since I've got a combination skin type ( T-Zone to be specific ). But then i just walked into this cosmetic store and thought about giving this Korean brand a try. (Picture to the left )
I can't describe how amazing this product is, i am totally in love with it!!

You just wash your face in the routine way and apply this before applying foundation or make up of any type!

The best part is that this primer can be used as an Eye Make up Primer as well.

A thought...

Why is the WEST much advanced than the EAST?

IKEA : The furniture i fell in love with

I recently moved into a new fully furnished apartment, as i entered i totally fell in love with the furniture. Even though the apartment is small but it can accommodate everything that a person could possibly imagine! I was truly impressed by the choice of furniture; WHY? Cause it wasn't just an ordinary furniture but it was IKEA. 

I decided i wanted to have a look at their store so i went there...And as i went there, i swear all i wanted was an empty house of my own that i could fill with the READY-TO-ASSEMBLE IKEA furniture.So here are a few details i picked while i paved my way through the store

WHY IKEA??

• Their furniture is the most compact (more accommodation in lesser area)
• They use the best materials (fire proof wood,metals resistant to corrosion)
• They TEST their furniture after they design it and  before they sell it - meaning their furniture is really really reliable.
• Its affordable  and worth each penny.
• MOST IMPORTANTLY: IKEA furniture will pay off whatever you invest in it! it's a long lasting furniture...

To give my viewers an insight i captured a few images, have a look, and Enjoy! :D

TECHNOLOGY THEY USE: So you can see they have two hydraulic cylinders here, and two wooden blocks hitting onto the chair as if a real person is sitting, the load given by cylinders is around 90 Kg. When i went there, the counter was already 130000 something :D

A complete Lifestyle: IKEA loves to add tiny details to your life. I totally ADORE candles... and i got crazy when i saw so many of them around me !!!
