Now and then 4 food


I love chocolate, Especially chocolate Snicker. When i was younger and still schooling in high school, i always save the extra pocket money everyday and buy myself a bar (rm2.50) from Farley supermarket at the end of the week like saturday or sunday as a treat.
My latest munch was last week friday, and i was greatly disappointed. It was less nutty and smaller than last time i ate it in high school. This time was wrap in metallic shiny wrapper. However, it was the same price as it was 10 years ago. Then, i went to Delta Supermarket, where they sell mostly imported stuffs and i saw a different packaging which is not metallic shiny wrapper. It was the original old package like 10 years ago. I bought it and investigate the different between these to Snickers. One was made in Malaysia, and another one made in Australia. Both Snickers tasted differently where the one made in Australia still very nutty although the selling price is RM3.50. I am really upset where i stand by my principal to by Malaysian made products, but my debate will be on the quality.

D-I-Y Hair Dye

I have always wanted to dye my hair but alas, when come to saloon, i have my doubt and hair services can really make a hole in your pocket. That's why i opt for D.I.Y.. As i was walking at one of the aisle at Delta Supermarket, i saw one product by Kao. Liese Bobble Hair Color. It has quite a range of color and i picked Cassis Berry. I have always love red color for my hair since blond and brown is a norm for hair.
After i paid the cashier, can't wait to try it at home. The first instruction hat caught my eye was 'to try on the skin allergy test'. After 48 hours, i have the green light to go ahead with the project. Yeay! I was astonished that the 2 bottle for mixture and chemical, hand glove, moisturizer hair lotion can fit in this very small packages. Anyway, we can always count on japan to pack everything anything into small cute space.
Here it goes. From my black black hair to brownish red color.









One dinner @ Sercret Recipe

Gara-gara want to eat delicious cake, we decided to have dinner at Secret Recipe along side road of Pahlawan Road, Sibu.
We have decided to order the 'Chocolate Indulgence' cake for appetizer and i have the beef lasagne and green tea ice shave for my drink. Just what i need. Great choice for my healthy diet. As for my husband, he chosen chicken chop with chocolate mocha ice shave. It was delicious. Take a peak what we had! Enjoy!

Small Japanese eye turn big 'Sailormoon' eye

All these while, I have been looking for the perfect or almost close product that can enhance my eyes to be at least bigger than it should be. I have tried so many products from double eyelids tape, double eyelids putty, fake eye lashes, variety range of mascara from length to volume to cat-eye immitation and of course poor gal resolution - painted eyelids. For those who don't know me, i have this tiny mini eye with short lashes and not my most favorite part of my face. However, i am determine to do something about it. In the end, i saw this extension eye lashes in one of my facebook fan listing, posting out the service and all the details about eye lashes extension. I fall in love immediately. So, i called her number to make an appointment as is mention only call, no walk in or sms-es. I was very excited when i heard "hello" : a female voice at the end of the line. Made my appointment and boom : 18th march 2.30pm.
Reached at her place - layout was very comfy and homely. Lay down on the operating chair, she asked me what type would i like. Since this is my first time, i decided to leave the decision to her professional hands. There she goes, asking me to close my eyes and quickly does her work. 30 min for each eye and after 1 hour of sleep, i felt like a brand new person and not only having sleeping for 1 hour. With the lashes longer and tougher than regular fake lashes, it was able to lift up my eye lids and voi'la; natural double eyelids. I looked at the final look and i have to say; i looked like kimora lee simmons - whom i adore very much. With Rm50, i say i got all what i want, double eye lids and full volume eye lashes.

Here is my before and after picture. Judge for yourself. Enjoy.

Before(below): dull, not attractive eye without mascara or fake lashes

After (below): Full lashes, long and enchanting

Gara gara Tv

U know what i am really into the tv fighting in any family there is bound to have tv fights. If not between the football channel or the fashion show or the cartoon channel. Is it wise to have too many channel in your tv? one can really fight for a lifetime to find solution to these. Some will say definitely to compromised but how far can someone able to compromised your special time with TV? It is never a lost to compromised because it is always a replay in another time. Sure but it is always the social intuition to be the first to know the latest result, news or outcome. We are brought up in very competitive society where we always want to be the first.
Second, we are all different individually therefor we have very different needs and interest. The guys will definitely love footballs or generally speaking sports channel. My husband is not an exception. He will rather spend a whole 2 hours cheering his favorite team at the coffee shop with his friends rather than celebrating birthdays or quality time with family. It's their get away card. For us ladies, we are no exception to fashion and soap dramas. Fashion channel is a quick fixer upper for your out of fashion collection since the 90's. Then, come to the soap dramas where we would trade up half to an hour sad, dramatic scene of a love triangle scenarios.
Kids will rather trade in their vegetables than missing their favorite cartoon on air. They have anime, Disney channel and Nickelodeon channel.
I feel like most of the tv shows noaway are not really worth watching especially the reality show where some people are in competition , cried their tears out and sweat blood only to realised that there are only going to be 1 winner in the end. Don't they know that in the first place? Some time i belive these are just being acted up. Tired to see them being voted off, and the dramas being in the competition.So there goes the drama from philo.

Interview is in session!

When you have graduated from college, first thing in your mind is, will i ever get my dream job in the grueling - competitive world out there? will i ever do my job with confidence and to applied my 50, 000Rm of knowledge that i manage to get all in summarized in one lovely A4 sized certificate? I am sure every graduates wonder about this in moment or another.
For me, it was hard as by the time i graduated, Sarawak was not ready for me - an IT qualified graduate. Looking for an IT dream job is scares as looking for a needle in a haystack. IT job in the 2000 are not highly in demand and not a highly paid job. You will either have a choice between sales assistance in a computer hardware shop or a general worker in Taiyo or Silicon (which is now known as XFab). Don't get me wrong and i had applied to Gov job and semi-Gov, somehow i know they preferred to lean on graduates from Local U.
However, i manage to land a job offered by my old college as an administrative office. And I am happily worked there for 2 years. With the luck and my curiosity of better perspective, I have move to the another administrative work which not based on my qualification but on my 2 years experience in my previous job. Landed there and worked there for another 3 years. And after 5 years and many bad breakup relationship, i managed to settle happily with my man. I couldn't have ask for better life. Then come the splurge of luck, my man manage to land a promotion which required him to move to a relative place, Sibu. With that increase in money department, my man decided that it is time for me to be a housewife and tend to his needs. It was a lovely idea and it worked out well.
When you are single, job commitment is not an issue. When you are married, people questioned your commitment like a steak grilled and poked by poker to burn both sides. This is what happened: A while later, i was given the opportunity to work as an IT trainer in an IT center which is going to be step up in my own village, Kampung Serasot. Of course, I applied for the job and with my husband and families support, I am happy too. Finally I got the call, and I went for the interview. First question is always introduced yourself. One look at my application form, here come all the questions:
You are from Sibu?! You travel all the way from Sibu to come for the interview?! What if you are working in Bau and you have to travel far to see your husband?! Will your husband return to Kuching to work?! Are you able to work in this environment?! Being far from your husband? If you take this job, you are required to stay in the rural area, in the kampung. And so on and so on.
It was one of those interview, you know you've failed miserably. When did becoming married is a commitment issue? I was stunt. I knew what was expected of me when i applied for the job and it was no different with any other job. Take teacher for example. One of my best friend is a teacher and married to a teacher. She is working in Bintulu and her man in working in Miri. With 200km separate them, they still manage to have a happier marriage than any other couple i knew working together. Commitment issue is not an issue as long as you have the heart and mind on the job. If there's a way to measure commitment, I am sure jumping straight to it. As normal people or human being will do, its called Adapting. Human being are capable of adapting to changes around them. So, what i am saying is I will adapt to the changes required by my job. After with the support and love from both my husband and families, what else is there to worry?

Potential changes in life

I am 27 years old today and i can say, within these years, there are a lot of changes that I have gone though. Physical Changes from being a baby to teen then to young adult and coming to full grown adult. Mental changes, from a girl who love dolls to woman who loved COACH brand bags and high heels. Emotional changes, from puppy first crush to a commitment based relationship then ends to married couples.
Carreer wise - from being a student, then to an officer then to..... well, thats the thing. I can never figure out the end to that sentences. I am always wondering the carreer ladder of a human race. And many of us believed that it is always started from the lowest of jobs. But, does anyone wonder how long does someone takes to complete that ladder to the highest step. It can be in 5 years, 10 years, or even for some forever. Who and What are the factor to contribute to these years? In my experiences are the management and the amount of works you are willing to take on. If you are willing to take on the management, then bravo. If you are wiling to take on the amount of works given to you, then bravo. However, in these two sentences, I have not included any adjectives to the topics discussed. It is a fantasy.
Many of us will definitely go through the session called Interview. Interview is a limbo where there is no certainty. Job vacancies in our parents time, it was always the newspaper or public notices at some goverment office to annouce of such vacancies open. Thanks to the world wide web and the internet, newspapers are ancient. Current trend, word of mouth post. Most good vacancies in good companies nowaday are never published but onle spread through word of mouth. Nowaday, most corporate are using what i called; introducer' interview. For this session, you are guarenteed to have 100% in getting the job you are applying for. Attending an introducer interview is just a formality even if you warm up the chair for less then 5 minutes. Second is the 10 thousand step interview where companies will respond to 10 thousand of resume, and 10 thousand step of screen through and in the end you will found out there is only 1 vacancy open. Interview can be brutal. Interviewer has the right to humiliate you in any way possible and crush any hope or confidence you have with you to non-existance.
