the perfect pair

i am a sensitive person but i'm ok with that.
what i am not ok with is having super sensitive teeth and gums.
i have a serious case of bleeding gums and it's worse everytime i brush my teeth.
thinking it might be caused by my toothbrush being too hard on my gums, i changed it to the extra soft kind.
but after using it, i don't feel clean enough after every brush.
and my gums still bleed.
a bit worried, i changed yet again and this time, i decided to try Systema Sensitive Pro toothbrush.
it sure works like it was claimed in its website.
"Superior, gentle cleaning for sensitive teeth & gums with elevated inner bristles and extra soft outer-bristles. Super-Tapered Bristles for Super-Clean Teeth." 

i got myself one in dusty pink :)

and while i'm changing toothbrush, why not change the toothpaste as well?
saw this in Emart and bought it without second thought.

dusty pink toothbrush's best buddy :p

it is medically licensed to improve gingival health and reduce the progression of periodontitis.
and it does live up to my expectations.
my gums is in healthy shade of pink instead of the usual scary dark red and i don't spit out blood anymore in between brushes.

i've been using this pair for 5 days and so far, i have no complaints.
that's one health concern resolved.
yay!

by the way, u know your life's a big bore when u start updating your oral care.
haha.

new year babies

when i got home yesterday morning after sending hubby off to the airport, i saw this cat squirming in a flowerpot.
yes, a flowerpot.
not an empty one but one with a plant sprouting out of it.
out of curiousity, i took a closer look & realised she had just gave birth to 5 kittens.
they were covered with dirt while she chewed on the placenta that came out together with her kittens.
i almost threw up.
@_@

wanted to move them somewhere more comfortable but she was on top of the litter everytime i checked up on them.
today i found them here.
she moved and placed them under our air conditioning compressor unit.
maybe she liked the warmth there.
it's good that they had settled down comfortably but my only fear is the wandering tomcats which are not the father of the kittens.
i don't wanna have to find the kittens all mauled or in pieces.
:(

thanks sayang

Long story short, hubby bought me the perfume from my to-buy list.
The trick: When asked, 'Smells good. U want it?'
Just answered YES firmly, without hesitation & get all doe eyed, Puss In Boot's style.
Works every time.

can't wait!

i just have to write this here.

HUBBY'S COMING HOME TOMORROW!!!!

(^_^)

she's one happy lady :)

some time last week,

udak : ayang, udak rasa nak beli perfume ko. (ayang, i think i wanna buy myself a perfume)

me: beli la dak. lak kamek ngan. (buy then. i'll come with u)

udak : ok, pas trimak kita pegi. (ok, we'll go after payday)

last night we went out perfume hunting.
she haven't decided which one she wants so we headed to the airport to check out the perfumes there.
it was closed.
of all days, it decided to close yesterday.
pffttt.

her last perfume was Tresor In Love by Lancome.
it was a birthday present from moi.
knowing the fact that she loves it so much, a bulb immediately lit in my head.
i know the ultimate perfume for her.

so we went to Parkson at The Spring.
i led her to the Lancome counter, asked for the tester of this particular perfume.
my sister and i love the smell, i know she's gonna love this one too.
i was right.
with one single whiff, she's hooked!
there it was, beautifully packed as a christmas gift set, together with a mascara and a nail polish.
without thinking twice, she asked the salesperson to wrap it up & made her purchase.
i BBMed sis about it just to irritate her and she was.
hahaha.

but there's happy ending for everyone of course.
i get to keep the mascara and sis, the nail polish.
;)

Tresor Midnight Rose by Lancome

smell good, feel good

as much as i love smelling good, i have only owned a few perfumes and it only started during my uni years (thanks to ptptn haha).
i don't stick to one scent in particular, i usually go for the latest one in the market.
the better the perfume ad is, the more i wanted to buy it.
i am easily influenced like that. hehe.

i am into fragrance with a hint of sweetness to it, not too overpowering.
the kind that makes me feel sexy and confident in my own skin or girly and flirty.
the kind that leaves a lasting impression on someone.
by breathing in deeply, can get people to say, 'yup, nieza just passed / was here'
actually that sounded kinda creepy but u get my point.

since i have discarded all the bottles, thanks to Google, here are the perfumes that once was my signature scent.
except for no 6 & 7 though.
they're in my to-buy-list next year.
:)

Notes: Chilled Quince, Water Lotus, Ginger Lily.

Notes: Passion Flower, Vanilla, Vetiver

Notes: Red Plum, Sweet Freesia

i'm not really into floral inspired fragrance but J'adore is an exception. Composed of Ylang-Ylang of Comores, Damask Rose, Sambac Jasmine.

Notes: Freesia, Jasmine Petals, Bulgarian Rose

Notes: Freesia, Green Leaves, Citrus Zest, Peony, Magnolia, Musk, Sandalwood, Warm Chocolate Accord. 

 

 

 

 

Notes: Litchi, Guava, Mangosteen, Magnolia, Litchi Blossom, Freesia, Sandalwood and White Musk.

lazy saturday

Today, it's just me, sis & Andika at home.
Since Mak & Bapak left for KL & then Turkey (envy!) less than 2 weeks ago, Udak became our sole guardian.
She's on call now leaving just the 3 of us.
Sis is taking her nap after feeding Andika & Andika's watching reruns of his favourite cartoon, Oggy & The Cockroaches.
And me, I'm dead bored cause I can't change the channel.
(-_-")

On a happier note, hubby's coming home next Saturday for a 10 day break. Yeay!
That means we get to welcome the new year together.
Double yeay!
Can't wait!

11.12.2012

a historical date for Kuching customs.
it was the day our new building headquarters, where i work was officially launched by Sarawak Chief Minister.
took us one whole month to prepare everything.
i wasn't involved in any of the committees cause i just got back from a 2 months course and i guess they overlooked my name.
not that i'm complaining. hehe.

other senior officers including myself were in our 3 piece suit along with a tie, an aiguillette and a customed bowler hat.
something i never wore almost 2 years in service.
it got so bad that i don't have the slightest idea where i placed my long sleeve shirt, the one i have to wear underneath the suit.
as last resort, i had to buy my own, in 2 sizes too big cause the store ran out of my size.
(-_-")

before the whole launching starts, we were busy prepping ourselves and each other in the office like it was the morning of Hari Raya. haha.
and we help ourselves to a few shots.

spot me if u can hehe

me with fellow colleague

around 9am we were summoned to come downstairs and by 9.30 everyone was seated.
the crowd was overwhelming, i think more than 2000 people were present.
the Chief Minister arrived around 10.30am, the ceremony ended around 11.30am and the best part of all, lunch!
by Hilton Hotel oh yeah! haha

here's a few shots from the day.
a month's hard work for just a few hours of ceremony.

gamelan & singers

kawad istiadat

choir group

didn't get a shot of the Chief Minister and wife though.
i was too busy stuffing myself silly during lunch.
hahaha.

my first run

after much persuasion from a colleague & support from twitter buddies Riyuna & Daria, i finally joined 'Larian Kesihatan Bandarayaku 2012' organised by DBKU last Saturday.
i said yes cause it's been a while since i last had a proper work out and i qualified for the VIP Category which means i only have to run for 2km instead of 5.5km if i joined the Women's Open Category.
the venue was at Orchid Garden, close proximity to the new DUN.
excited, i got there before 6 am thinking the run would start at 6.30 am.
at least that's what was mentioned in the tentative programme.
turns out, it started at 7.40 am because some very important people decided to woke up late on a Saturday and make the rest of us wait.
*crosses arms*

long story short, i was the second woman to arrive at the finish line.
i didn't get any prize though cause for our category, prizes are for 1st to 5th place and obviously the guys grabbed them all.
pffttt.

and i didn't win the lucky draw either.
i'm never lucky when it comes to draws.

but one thing's for sure, i'll definitely run again in the future.
hopefully fit enough & with the stamina to run 5.5km and more.

the 71 year old lady in th Astro ad really inspired me.
she started running marathons when she was 61 & she had run 33 marathons to date.
she is glowing with health & i wanna be just like her.

so if u guys know any running events in Kuching, do let me know.
maybe we can join it together. :)

 my running tag

 2 veterans & a VIP ahaha

running buddies.

they're both over 45 & fit cause they run frequently

f is for fitness

Today we had our second fitness test.
The first was on 8/9, more than 6 weeks ago.
The main objective was to measure our fitness level and how much we've improved / worsened on the second test.
A few aspects were taken into account but I'd just pinpoint those which I think matters.
I gained 2kg so now I'm 65kg instead of 63kg.
I increased inches on my waist from 83cm to 88cm.
Darn it.
No thanks to our caterer who serves us curry, masak lemak, masak kicap alternately from the first day we're here.
And no thanks to myself who doesn't work out on my on time.

We also did a 2.4km run.
For me it was more like 2.4km stroll.
Hahaha.
Previously my time was 22.23 minutes, today it was 22.55.
0.32 minutes late.
Pffftttt.

Overall I think I've improved cause in other areas, I did quite well.
Fyi, I frog jumped as far as 173cm.
Eventhough that's not exactly something to be proud of but the skill might come in handy when entertaining Andika or future children.
:P

We also did physiological test to determine our body's age.
I have the body of a 55 year old.
(-_-")

I know that in order for me to conceive, I should start watching what I eat & work out more.
But for me to work out more, I should start working out first.
Haha.
Will be meeting hubby in 3 weeks so there's still time for stamina improvement.
Watch out sayang!
;P
