Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

Happy New Year!! Hahaha this is a long-overdue post! Had alot of activites during the past weeks! Exhausting but super fun!! =D hehehehe anyway, 2012 was meh! There were alot of ups and downs. Okay, keep it short, basically.. I'm glad that year 2012 is over, nuff said. =D 

Here is a list of my TOP 12 of 2012.

1. New apartment!

The reason I left Malaysia early last year was to settle into my new apartment. Moving house is such a pain in the ass! No joke =.= It took us quite a while to unbox everything, big thanks to my bf because I had a panic attack after I saw how many boxes of stuff I had T.T

Hmmm overall, its a nice apartment even though the only source of 

sunlight we get is from the balcony =.=

2. Valentine's Day

Best Valentine's Day so far! Appreciate all the effort he put into preparing all the surprises =D

Thank you so much for your love and care my dear <3

3. Risky electives

Made a huge decision in selecting student electives last year. Took Human Physiology 1 & 2, Biochemistry blah blah blah. Its a risk for my overall GPA score because my course was all about food technology and food chemistry. Not that im not familiar with biology, its just that, all these while my Biology grades are no where near a distinction =s But thank god lah, my results were satisfying =D and of course, all the lecturers and demonstrators were outstanding! Very helpful and knowledgeable, I even thought of changing course because I love the teaching environment very much =D lol credits to Paula, John Hawley, Danielle, Bruce Byrne, Martin Stebbing, Richard Guy, etc etc

<3

4. Journey to Bundoora

All my electives took place in RMIT Bundoora, about 70 tram stops away from where I live T.T approximately 80 minutes tram ride, 5 minutes walk from tram station to class. Tram is one of the worst transportation on earth! Spent most of my final semester in Bundoora! 

I love this place!

My favorite lecture theatre!

<3

5. Weight gaining

Gained ~4kg. Nuff said =.=

6. Big Yee

Bf's aunt came to visit us for ~3months! So, why is it so blog worthy about her visit? hahaha she helped us alot! Clean the house! Cook meals! Life is easy when she's around XD

7. Less Shopping

Huge improvement in terms of controlling myself from buying stuff! I am a shopaholic, couldn't resist from buying things when i visit the stores =(

8. I discovered the person I dislike the most in my life!!

Okay lah I should not highlight such a hateful event in my top12, but this person brought me too much troubles throughout the whole year! He is the lousiest man I have ever encountered! Seriously T.T He taught me an important lesson, never, NEVER judge a book by its cover. Sigh

9. Quality Assurance


I have mixed feeling about this subject, its super challenging, fun and stress subject! Wonderful hands on experience, and I can foresee how far this course could bring me to. Basically this course could find me a stable job with pretty decent pay =)
We worked in a team throughout the whole semester, constructing a QA manual for our designated product which is chocolate mousse, everything from ordering, receival and storage of raw material, to cleaning and preparation of ingredients, to operation of the equipments, to packaging and then to the final presentation of the product. Our ultimate job is to make sure every single step is safe for consumer. hehehehe quite like it =)

LOL us with the hairnets! Taken during the final production! Nervous max! But thank god that the industrial assessor was nice! and he liked us! =D

Things would be perfect if the team consist only three of us! Hahaha awesome people! =D

Our final product! =)

10. Satisfying results

My third year final semester ended with a satisfying results, not necessarily straight HDs, but good enough for me =) Thank you lord for all your blessings <3


11. Sydney

Ronald came over! and we went Sydney! That was my second visit! Too bad, Bernard wasn't able to join us =(

Us at the entrance of Taronga Zoo, this is by far, the best zoo I've visited, well organized, super clean and most importantly, all the animals were awake XD

Mah boy and I at Sydney's Opera House =)

Best thing about Ronald being there was to be our cameraman XD

OHHHHH Bondi Beach, words can't describe how beautiful this place is!

Clean environment, white and soft sands <3

I love love love this place!!

We managed to book a hotel right infront of Bondi Beach through a scoopon deal!

AHHHHH 

Dear Bondi, I will visit you again!!

Hello from Fatty XD

sorry lah no bikini, too fat

St. Mary's Cathedral

It's really huge and the architecture is really beautiful!! 

Too bad we weren;t allowed to take pictures!

Visited here during 2008 World Youth's Day =)

Can't wait to visit more churches!

12. Chris proposal

Last but not least, my buddy's wedding proposal! This happened epicly during the last day of 2012! Shoooooooooo swwwweeeeeettt!! Couldn't wait for their wedding already!! ;)

Buddy and Ah Sou =)

Helped out with the candles! Sooooo romantic! Ngaaaawwww

And there goes my boring and simple year 2012

=)

Products I have used up

I remember how I started project 20 pans few months ago. Basically, I cannot buy any new cosmetics nor skincare before using up 20 products. I kinda succeed, kinda not at the same time. I managed to finish more than 20 (I obviously didn't keep all the empty bottles) but I didn't manage to NOT buy anything during the challenge period.

oh well! It's like drug addiction, it takes time to quit. I think I did pretty well withstanding the temptation throughout the second semester (although I did a spontaneous purchase online, i had my own reason).

My addiction, however, has been massively reduced, couldn't believe that I actually managed to do that. I thought there was no turning back (hahahaha kua zheong =.=). I took pictures of my collection, and I look at them whenever I have the urge to buy something, it never failed to disgust me. Trust me, its really disgusting, to look at how ridiculously huge my make up collection is.

So here are the empty bottles!!

From left:

1. Skin peptoxyl eye cream (30ml)

My all time favorite! This is my third tube, and the fourth one is on it's way! Two more backups! You can tell how much I love it already. It takes a lot of trials and errors to find the perfect eye cream for me. This, might not necessary to be my ultimate HG eye cream, however, it does its job perfectly, it works very well with pretty much any concealers I have. I don't know whether it helped lightens my dark circles or not because I don't really pay attention to them. Concealer is probably to greatest cosmetic invented XD

I remember I came across an article that says we don't need a separate moisturiser for the eye area, hmmm, that really depends on individual preference, psychological matter and cha-ching $$ matter.

Availability: 

You can get it here. I know it would be a splurge, but mind you, its 30ml instead of the usual 15ml.

Would I repurchase: 

YES! Definitely! but not in the near future, because I already have backups that I picked up during a sale =D

2. Laneige Hydra Solution Essence (40ml)

Oh everyone loves Laneige! A high-end Korean cosmetics company, whom I believe, is under Amore Pacific company, who also owns some of my favorite brands such as Etude House, Innisfree, SulWhaSoo and more!! This particular essence, works reasonably well, it does what it claims, and nothing more. I like the faint floral scent. Its really soothing. 

Availability:

You can get it here. Obviously I didn't pay that much, I paid around $30AUD from a korean website.

Would I repurchase:

Maybe? I am still open in trying new stuff!

3. Dr. G Hydra Intensive Cream (50ml)

Bought this on a whim after a friend of mine raved about it. In my opinion, this is an average cream. I remember Silicone was one of the ingredient (don't quote me on that). I don't know whether this cream broke me out or not, my skin is pretty sensitive, I can have few break outs on everything I try, not to an extent of a huge pimple, but yea, few bumps I should say.

Availability:

I bought is from Sasa. But this item is not on the list at the moment.

Would I repurchase:

No.

4. Laneige Hydra Solution Cream (50ml)

Just like the Dr G cream, it is an average moisturiser, I prefer this over Dr. G, because this feels more hydrating. Well, nothing really special about this cream, I love the smell of this though! 

Availability:

You can get it here. 

Would I repurchase:
Not really.

5. Laneige Hydra Solution Activator (30ml)
This is something that you put on before everything else, even toner. It helps the consequent products that you are gonna put on to absorb better. Honestly, I do think that it actually worked! With no exception, this smells just like the other products from this line. 

Availability:
You can get it here.

Would I repurchase:
Yes. But I want to try other first essence first ;)


6. Naruko Raw Job Tears Night Eye Jelly 
One of the oh-so-famous Naruko night jellies, I like it. I first thought that this might be too moisturising for my eye area, was worried that it would cause oilseeds to grow, and to my surprise, it didn't! I am not sure about its whitening effect though, I have a bad routine, always burning midnight oil. So yeah! Can't really tell! Love the smell though! 

Availability:
You can get it here

Would I repurchase:
Yes. I might repurchase the Rose version first, can't decide between these two.


7. Naruko Raw Job Tears Night Jelly
Okay, I cheated, I didn't actually finish this jar of night jelly. I used the whole line together, including the toner, lotion and serum. I didn't see much difference. I might try this line again in the future since it gets such high raves among the beauty community.

Availability:
You can get it here

Would I repurchase:
Yes. But not in the near future.

8. Dr. G Hydra Intense Essence (30ml)
Used this during winter time back in July, it did a pretty good job. No dry patches on my face, makeup went on really well. Good one!

Availability:
You can get it here

Would I repurchase:
Yes. But only when it goes on sale! I bought it for about ~$25


9. Suisse  Programme Recovery Eye Essence (15ml)

What an expensive eye essence! Of course I didn't pay full price for this "okay" product. It bugs me when high end brand skincare/cosmetics don't do what they claim! People splurge on your product, you better deliver what you claim! I don't have much to say about this product, it absorbs easily but it is not moisturising enough for the eye area, I still put eye cream over this.

Availability:
You can get it here

Would I repurchase:
A BIG NO


10. Mizon Real Soybean Deep Cleansing Oil (200ml)
I hate this! It is really thick and it doesn't emulsify well! It broke me out quite badly! I used it for removing any swatches on my hand! Glad that I finally finished the whole bottle! Luckily it didn't cost me much penny, bought it with my friend when they had BOGO free!

Availability:
You can get it here

Would I repurchase:
Another BIG NO!


11. Bioderma Sensibio Cleansing Water (500ml)
I love this stuff to death! It removes makeup really well! Its really gentle and most importantly, it didn't break me out! I still use a separate eye makeup remover though! But on days with light makeup on, this is perfect!!

Availability:
You can get it here

Would I repurchase:
BIG BIG YES!!!





Wow finally! It took me quite some time and effort to write this post! More to come, but I guess I'll just take a short break first! Till then!
