A or B?

I’m torn between A or B.


Bukan kekasih A atau kekasih B. mahu kena silambam dengan Incik Suami ke nak torn between kekasih A atau kekasih B plak kan.

But, between option A or option B.

I was offered to be involve in the new project. Weh, project lagiii? Sungguh lemau mendengarnya. The project period is around 6 months. Oh tidakkkk! Lama gilos. Kompom rasa nak muntah darah lagi lepas ini. *puke* *puke*

But the bright side is, the project will take place in China and US. Means, 3months in China and another 3 months in US. Part 3 months China tu I tak de la heran sangat. Sebab China kot. Nak makan pun susah kat area tu nanti. But the 3 months in US sangat mengugat jiwa i. err… weekends at the branded outlets? I mahu pengsaaaaaaaannnn. Plus, the $$$$ offered juga maha gembira.

Well, of course I’m smiling from ear to ear when I was told about this assignment. Gilo kau tak hepi kan. Tapi, 6months without hubster? Can I survive? Jumpa tiap-tiap weekend pun drama air mata masih ada walaupun almost 2 years cenggini. But 6months without him? Will he be okay? Will he miss me badly? And 6 months ‘berpuasa’. Dah la now pun puasa on weekdays kan. Sobsobsob..

Waitttt! Ofkos every nice thing comes together with the extra baggage. The worst part is? I’ll be bonded for another 2 years. Gulp! 2 years lagi? Oh tidaaaaakkkk.

Hubster was fine with this arrangement. I mean, he was fine with the idea I need to be out of countries for 6months and the bonded things. Well, he will missed me (he said so), but its something to do with the career path and all those experience which can help me to demand moreeeee salary in future. Eh, sungguh mata duitan!

But I think enuf is enuf. Means cukup2lah almost two years kiteorang kutub utara kutub selatan. Another two years to go? Gulp! That’s it. The damage is done. We need to start to focus on having our family in soonnnn. Like, real soon ok. Nanti kengkawan anak dah berderet empat, I baru terhegeh-hegeh nak preggy whats not.

And back to square, to lose something is to gain something else. Bonded for another two years is totally not worth it walaupun I bisa bergumbira di Negara berhawa sejuk, dengan gaji tak affected plus with the overseas allowance (masyuk kot kan lepas abes 6months tu), and the increment after the project if successfully meet the mile stone goal. But those can’t beat when I able to leave the company bila tiba masanya (eh, I dah tau dah masanya. March insyallah!), hubster and I can spend every single minute in our little tiny condo until god-know-when, we can focus on baby makings, and no more endless weekend trips north-south. And finally I’ll be abled to keep my travelling bag out of our eyesight. Poor my little travelling bag! Every week tak pernah miss untuk berkhidmat for me.

But still, I’m torn. I know I should turn down the offer. I know I should keep my decision firm. But, I’m just human, tempted with all the nice to have things. Errr..like nice to stay in US right? Even just 3months. Hahahahaha.. maybe I’ll be able to cuci mata and finally grab that Marc Jacobs ive been eyeing for months aight? And all the shopping stuff. Plus the x'mas will be coming in soon. Sure banyak saleeee kan?

Shuh..shuh..syaiton nirrajim! Hope Allah tabahkan hati I. menghalang all those godaan syaitan to accept the offer. and this is actually the 2nd time boss had asked me to consider this offer. phew!!



Ni baru hallllfff of our book hauls at MPH Warehouse Sale. heaven ok heaven bila tengok buku mure-mure. macam tak keruan i. sila la sila sale buku selalu ye. Book paling atas tu tak yah nak sebarkan gosip liar. tu persediaan untuk one fine day nanti. paham? beside buku "home repair" and "lonely planet thailand" the rest to semua my booookkkk. Hubster gigih nak DIY some of our house projects.
Till then!

Adios amigos.

Cik Cawan Bulan

orang kampung i kata, "prektis mek perfek".
so after beberapa prektis ngeri, tragis tapi takde la sampai end up dekat Emergency Room spital pun.
i'm proudly to announce, i adalah pengguna menstrual cup paling gembira!
apesal i tak tau menstrual cup ni dari dulu lagi?
sobsobsob...



memperkenalkan cik cawan bulan saya yang masih suci ketika ini.


i sebenarnya dah bertahun tahun-tahun tahu how unhealthy our sanitary pads is.
chemicals, long term effect and not environmental friendly.

On average, one woman will use over 11,000 tampons or pads in their lifetime, which will end up in landfill or in the sea.

The next option is Cloth Menstrual Pad. Tapi, Cloth Menstrual Pad pulak macam agak leceh untuk orang pemalas macam i.
nak basuh la, kalau travel, nak kena gulung and simpan bawak balik. macam oh malasnya!

and recently i bump into this Menstrual Cup.
ekceli, menstrual cup ni adalah beberapa cap kat market. the one i beli adalah cap Mooncup from UK.

Cik Senah, haruslah menstrual cup i made from obersi. baru kelassss gitu.

ahahhaha..ekceli menstrual cup ni takde kot lagi made in local. semua dr Germany, UK or US.
setelah membaca review beberapa different brand, i decided nak try Mooncup ni. beli online ye. sebab kat Personal Store takde benda alah ni. There is different material use for different menstrual cup. so thats why rege setiap cup adalah berbeza-beza. Mooncup & Lady Cup ni consider at high side jugak sebab material dia guna. My Mooncup cost around RM 110.00. Lady Cup dlm RM 145.00. Perlu diingatkan, this is lifetime investment. Menstrual Cup adalah bercirikan re-usable. hang masukkan, hang remove, buang the darah, hang wash balik the cup, hang wipe off and hang masukkan balik. and cycle goes on and on and on sampai habes period. ngerrtiii? bukankan ia sungguh eco-friendly dah sungguh economi bukan? Unless you have delivery via vagina, so maybe after delivery your vagina size sedikit besaq, then only you need to repurchase for the bigger size menstrual cup to suit you. yep! menstrual cup ada size. tapi ni bergantung kepada cap menstrual cup tu. macam mooncup ada dua size je. size muda belia tak pernah dan tak beranak secara normal atau size satu lagi adalah lebih usia dan yang pernah beranak secara normal.

Why i beli cap Mooncup?
Sebab Mooncup ni made from soft medical grade silicone, the Mooncup is latex-free and contains no dyes, BPA, toxins or bleaches. It’s also great for women with sensitive skin.

I ni sensitive to latex. so anything to do with latex adalah big no no no.. errr..camne nak tau? suruh laki hang try pakai condom. then hang tau la hang allergic ke tak. err..am i too details here?

Plus, Mooncup ni pun banyak good review. so, here we go. place the order and yes! sampai on the very next day.

the first impression when i opened up the parcel is ....
auwwww! besaq nya.. lagu mana nak buh ni. and a bit the cup a bit firm.
gusar la hati ni. camno nih..camno nih...
gugle balik tenet..
the tips is, hang strelize dulu benda alah ni (memang sebelum pakai kena strelize. tapi tak la every time hang nak strelize kan. lepas one cycle baru strelize) boil dalam air panas macam strelize teats and bottle baby.
lepas tu baru a bit soft. and bila nak masukkan dan remove, jangan gelabah. first timer normally gelabah and cuak. just relax. and this thing will works like wonder!
no more leaking!
no more require to change your pads every 4 hrs.
and the best thing is, you doesnt even feel the things is there. or boleh siap terlupa period.
bessssttt! at first i tak confident sangat. macam betul ke benda ni dah ok. leaking tak nanti? and buh gak la pantyliner mana la tau leaking kan.
booooo! setitik pun takda keluar.
yippyyyyy! a very-very good investment.

err..perlu ke nak explain how to use???

ni ha anak-anak buah i yang tak paham-paham bahawa kereta pakcik dia (Antel) adalah kecik. nak jugak berhimpit nek keta kiteorang From North ke rumah my mom time raya ke-3 tuh. padahal honda daddy korang kosong je. takpe la..asal korang bahagia. tapi ni la kot bebudak, baru gerak seploh minit masing-masing syahiiiidddd..




ok y'all..last but not least, tempek gamba i je la dlu ye. gambar rayo-rayo nanti kita tempek lain.
dem! muke semakin memenuhi ruang gambar. isu berat tak habis-habis lagi T____T

nampak flawless. ko addaaaa?

Sape yg aritu comment tanya camno nak tepek mekap biar Nampak tulus mulus?


Err..jawapan sebenarnya I pun tak tau la nak tepek mekap pesen ape bior Nampak muka berkawah ni ala flawless gitu.

Sebabnya, I pun baru je jinak-jinak merpati dengan dunia mekap.

Nak buat camne, baru recently realize I sedang didalam aging process gitu. which is Au Natural no longer working walaupun jenuh dah bagitau kepala otak ni banyak kali. seems the brain no longer nak percaya on au natural things la kan?
Then pasrah and yakin perlu tempek mekap agar muka Nampak sedikit flawless. At least jerawat tu ko tak nampak la sangat kan. Nampak sesuci lebaran sket muka tu. Tapi, kalau ko tanya suami I lepas put on makeup, kompom ko rasa nak pitam dengar jawapan dia “ni semua fake nih!”. Sungguh siot bukan? Takpe, I memang pasrah mengenang nasib diri. Lagipun in real world semua orang hidup dalam denial. Ape la salahnya tempek mekap with a lil hope ko santek macam Kim Kardashian walaupun vontot ko tak mampu nak celen vontot dia.

Tapi mekap disini bukanlah tepek mekap ala level perantin. Errr.. so not my type la. Mekap haruslah so-so aje. Tak perlu la ko nak over doing it sampai boh bulu mate pelesu takat pergi pergi kedai tukar tayar kete ke, mahupun takat pergi pasar malam. Eh serious! I pernah jumpa orang gi bazaar ramadhan mekap fullamak. Eye shadow kaler hijau purple, bulu mata pelesu dasat, tapi pakai baju kelawar yang buat tido malam tu. Aaa…assume je la dia baru balik shopping dan hanya sempat tukar baju je and rasa sayang pulak nak remove mekap mahal-mahal yang dah tempek tu. Kooo adddooo?

Unless u adalah perantin, u deserve la mekap ala-ala setebal mekap Rozita che wan kan. Pastu taram bulu mata sampai nak angkat kelopak mata pun tak larat. Tapi, dah nama pun big day. Ko mekap ala-ala lady gaga pun orang masih dapat terima. Sebab dah big day ko kan. Or pergi dinner party ke ko nak mekap ala drag queen pun I rasa orang ramai masih boleh terima walaupun diaorang akan nengok ko dari atas sampai bawah, pastu buat signal mata kat kawan sebelah dia. Tapi kalau takat menghadiri mejlis kawen orang lain, ko tak yah la overshadow pengantin tu. Meraung pengantin yang bayar mekap retis ratusan malah ada ribuan ringgit bile nengok ko mekap overrrr dari perantin. Bagi la chance kat perantin. Cukup la sekadar mekap basic-basic, masih kelihatan au natural gitu.

And bila ko cakap pasal mekap, kompom ramai Tanya brand apa la elok nak tempek. So tang ni I kenot answer sebab it depends on your level bajet and diri sendiri. Ada orang seswai ngn mekap mahal-mahal sahaja baru dia Nampak santek, tapi ada gak orang mekap cap ayam pun dah Nampak santek dah.
and for start, better go for average brand je la kan.
Sapa tak nak beli mekap cap MAC ke, Bobbi ke, Laura Mercier ke, NARS ke, Urban Decays dan banyak lagi la dek non oi. Nak oi nak..sampai tak tido malam asyik pegang calculator. Dah kompom-kompom dieorang tu well known brand. Jadi kompom ko rasa lepas ko pakai mekap tu pastu keyakinan diri terus sama level dengan Kim Kardashian. Tapi kalau takat aku sebuah foundation MAC pun dah cecah ratus, ko agak mampu ke nak diteruskan niat nak eyeshadow la, blusher la, lipstick la, eyeliner la, mascara bagai kalau nak beli semua sekaligus?

Ekceli, kalau u oll jenis gigih and still rasa nak beli branded mekap ni jugak, boleh je buat satu bulan beli satu barang. Cuma level kesabaran tu kena la tinggi sket nak collect at least for basic kan. Since sabar menyabar ni takde dalam kamus hidup I, I ni jenis kalau nak, nak semua sekali on the dot. Ko mampuuu nak handle bini spesies ni? Sebab tak mampu la I kawen ngn laki i. dia sorang je mampu handle bini spesis ni kan.

Tapi korang juga kena la ingat, ko beli mahal2, tapi tak reti tempek pun membazir juga. Jadi why not start with something not-so-expensive, pastu ko dah terer calit-calit so that tak rasa membazir sangat sebab dalam proses pembelajaran calit-calit dan tempek-tempek ni kompom banyak kali ko kena wipe off balik mekap ni, then baru ko berhijrah kepada high end mekap brands la. Sebab kompom la high end mekap ngn mekap so-so ni banyak beze.

Dalam proses pembelajaran pun, sure ko tak nak go for super cheap mekap stuff pastu muke ko kelihatan seperti pondan-pondan kat jalan haji taib tu kan. Means, mekap nampak chalky ke tak sekata ke or luntur sebelum waktunya. So brand yang average for start ni pun banyak. Pergi je drugstore (note: pharmacy,Watsons, guardian, or bhgian personal care kat giant and tesco pun ada) banyak je jual brand-brand yang level kemampuan kite (note: utk orang yg tak berapa nak mampu mcm I la). Yang penting, before beli, buat la sedikit research, gi la guggle kat tenet tu. Sebab tu, since been a user of semakphong for the past 2 years, segala maknikam benda nak beli, I gugle dulu. Tengok review. Tapi berpada-pada la kan. Ko nak foundation level Laura Mercier, pastu ko nak bayar rege nampuluh ringgit. Ko agak-agak sales assistant tu tak rasa nak hempok kepala ko ke?

And for those yang nak berjinak-jinak merpati, rajin-rajinlah usha utube ye. Sebab kat utube la banyak gila mekap guru yg gempak-gempak yet ko tak payah bayar nak gi mekap class. Yang penting, ko nengok, ko pause, ko start calit, pastu ko play, ko nengok, ko pause ko calit lagi and on and on sampai la settle muke ko yang dah rupa kim kardashian selepas di mekap (u wish la kan!).

And my latest mekap range obsession is NYX! ramai mekap guru kat utube pakai cap NYX ni, plus rege dia. Auwwww! Affordable. But the drawback is, NYX does not available kat Mesia. Whatttt?

One option is to purchase it via online from local seller. Banyak je local online seller bawak this NYX from US and jual kat mesia. But for sure the price slightly expensive la. Kena la kire kawan tu nak bayar postage la, pack2 barang ni semua and of course sape nak bisnes kalau tak untung kan?

And another option is, directly beli from the online store kat US nun. Tapi, shipping cost dia sometime same rege dengan barangan yang ko beli. Dah jadi mahal balik. Unless ko nak consolidate the shipment and share dengan orang lain kan.

And for me working with US-based company, adalah juga advantage nye. Sebab tetiap bulan kompom ada je colleague’s yang kena outstation kat HQ. And mostly yang pergi ni jantanz-jantanz u oll, dah tu takkan I nak suruh jantanz-jantanz ni pergi cari mekap utk i kat kedai? kompom la mati hidup semula pun tak nak kan. So sebagai wanita yg bijak, I telah membeli secara online and deliver to their hotel room. Pastu jantanz-jantanz ni tinggal angkut bawak balik Mesia je. Dieorang ni tak kisah kalau takat angkut bawak balik sebab dieorang ni pun bukan beli apa sangat kat sana. Lagipun sape lagi nak nyusahkan hidup dieorang kalau bukan I kan? Dari perfume laki I, sunglass, teeth whitening, mekap brush, mekap stuff semua je buat cara ni. Nak buat camno. Kat US nun murah. Ko cer beli kat mesia. Mekap brush I tu almost double the price kat mesia tau. Tu baru satu barang kan?

And taraaaa! This is my NYX haul baru-baru ni. nak tambahkan koleksi i yang sedia ada gitu.


                                                                The peach blusher tu Cik Anne punya. tapi i rasa macam nak pulak sekarang ini sebab ia cantek. 

NYX adalah awesome! The famous jumbo eye pencil sangat bagus digunakan untuk orang-orang yang baru belaja bermekap and bagi mereka yang on the go (considering to purchase another 5 colour lagi).



The Nude on Nude makeup kits sangat best. And its really worth every penny. siap ada lip pallete lagi kat bawah dia.
I introduced NYX to my sis, even my sis pun sangat terkejut with the NYX quality. With the price you pay, tapi ko dapat the quality almost setanding dengan other high end brand.
And the best part about NYX, ko takyah nak bubuh banyak. buh sikit je kaler dia dah va va vaaas gitu. so being a cheapskate, this is a very good point for NYX.

and time i beli tu ada discount on certain products. this lipstick cost me less than two dollar. omaiii! murah bukan? hamik dua terus. mana ada orang pernah said enuff with mekap stuff aight?



Nanti I review one by one bila ada kesempatan ye and what a basic mekap stuff u shud owned for start.
