SK-II Pitera Essence Set

Bought this product during promotion. SK-II products are expensive. However, you may start with the Pitera Essence Set. It is inclusive the following items:
  • Facial Treatment Clear Lotion (40ml)
  • Facial Treatment Essence (75ml)
  • Facial Treatment Mask (1pcs)


Facial Treatment Clear Toner
"Containing AHA, this wipe-off clarifying lotion gently removes dirt and dead skin cells to allow skin nourishment. Leaving skin clean, lively and perfectly conditioned." - Official Website

After a week, I could see a different from my skin. My skin develops smoother texture & reverts to a combination state of being oily on the t-zone & sensitive on the cheeks.

 Facial Treatment Essence
"Containing more than 90% Pitera™, this much loved miracle water is a must-have for healthy, radiant skin. It helps maintain the skin's natural renewal cycle to its optimum condition to allow skin nourishment. It also works to balance the skin's pH and sebum secretion, so oily and dry areas are properly moisturised." - Official Website

I have to say this product is amazing just like their quote "Miracle Water". I'm not 100% yet but my skin has become clearer, more even tones & less red. It actually balance up my pH. Also, it helps to tightened up my pores gradually.


 Facial Treatment Mask
"This intensive moisture-boosting mask is enriched with Pitera™ which deeply hydrates skin. Reviving and relaxing, it leaves skin noticeably radiant, soft and crystal clear." - Official Website

The mask soothed my skin with the rich essence. I felt like being splashing water from the tap... It's just so refreshed & moisturized.  Perhaps this indulging mask can last you for a month!

We have heard & seen too much advertisement about SK-II products. Why not give a chance to yourself to experience such an awesome product?! Ladies should pamper yourself <3 It costs you only RM199.

ミットバレーの「北海道市場」

Pre-Intermediateの皆さんと久木元先生へミットバレーの「北海道市場」を行きました。


定食?!







とても楽しかったです。
 

[[Orion]] Natural Chicle

My friend - Wing 爷 came back from South Korea and bought me this [[Orion]] Natural Chicle Chewing Gum. Heard that Orion is a famous snack brand in South Korea and you can get it from any E-mart. Orion Corp. is South Korea's 2nd-biggest snack producer.

He bought me this "Natural Chicle" Chewing Gum which is newly launch in the market. It is made of chicle from latex of Mexican sapodilla trees.

They have several flavours:
  • Lime Citrus
  • Bergamot Orange
  • etc....



Some people are looking for a gum with a "chewy" texture and a "bubblegum" flavor that rolls down a spiral slide after purchase.Yet, I prefer this chewing gum. ('3')/

Cheers!

摸鱼之旅 Batu Pahat, Johor

I have been visiting this town for X times. Now I've only discovered the exciting spots. Before this, I used to think that this is a dumb dumb boring place. Having a week-off, mom planned a day trip to this town called Batu Pahat, Johor (southern Malaysia).

The sis & I, didn't really look forward to this trip initially.


1st Spot: 四海龙王大伯公庙

Surprisingly, there were lots of people. Unexpected.

We were suppose to rinse our hands with this delicate miniature fountain before entering the temple.

Beside the miniature fountain, there's a statue of 貔貅王 (King of Pi Xiu). The temple keeper is really thoughtful. They actually provides the description beside the statue & also have the emcee to do the elaboration.








There's lots of Goddess Statues in this temple. A circle though small, yet is complete.



Had our little model demo on making wish to Laughing Buddha. *grin*
Steps:
#1: u gotta have a very sincere face. *lol*
#2: touch on Laughing Buddha's tummy.

#3: ring the bell & make a wish.
 








































































龙泉井 LongQuan Well
Well water can be used for to wash the car plate, house plate & shower.


太岁府 Jupiter House
Believe if you go through the altar, you will get to change your fate.



善财童子 Zenzai boy
Zenzai boy is that accompanied on both sides of the Bodhisattva.










the White Alligator
It is said that before, you will see a white alligator at Batu Pahat Riverside. 

According to the legend, whoever sees the white alligator, will get wealthy in life and goes up the ladder in your career. Therefore, feel free to touch this white alligator that will bring us good luck.


Beside the lake, there's a Match Maker 月老 (Chinese Cupid). A lot of people come here to pray for their love/relationship. They will either tie the knot with the red string or lock the "love lock" at the Valentine's Bridge & throw the key into the river as a sign of in love forever.


 





































Other scenes in the temple...


2nd Spot: Pantai Minyak Beku

A great venue to do BBQ party at night. During day time, you may do your fishing over here or strolling.







3rd Spot: 石文丁Segenting - the Fish Village

The final destination & also what we're looking forward for the entire trip--摸鱼 (touch the fish).

A lot people coming to the temple for fortune & blessings for the beloved. During holidays or weekend, you will see busloads of tourists visiting to this temple. Most of them are here to strike their luck.

You can see there was a lot people jostling for the pool just to get near the fishes.

But what so special about the fishes & what kind of fishes are they?!
See! So many people desperate about it! I can't even get myself in! Just bcoz the people believe that once you touch on the fish, you will be able to strike your TOTO or 4D or any gambling stuff.... =.=||




























 


Well, they are the Lake Monster - Arapaimas. Yes, lake monster not any giant coil fishes. *lol*


They are South American tropical freshwater fish and also a living fossil of the largest freshwater fish in the world. They can grow up to 5m long.


Sorry that I have no guts to touch the Arapaimas. They looked rather scary to me though they kept on swim near to me. I've only managed to take a picture of these desperate people pounding on them.


There is also an altar of the Dragon King facing to the Straits of Malacca. They named it as Crystal Palace. Usually are the fishermen here to pray before they set their sail out for fishing.




Frankly speaking, I find this trip benefited me a lot. I'd never thought that it could be so interesting till I had experienced it. It's worth to tag along your family to pay a visit.
