Before the trip to Bangkok: Packing II

This post is about.. well, the title explains everything. Okie, so after "scolded" (as in calling me 'sam pat' ) by my mom and sis, they helped me to "filter" the things that i have to bring. Although I seriously think that all the things that i previously wanted to bring are necessary. == Anyway, what's left is:

which is still a lot.==




a perfect box to put lots of things in it! :D


spoiled. LOL.==

as for my handbag...

Student ID (for the examination on Monday), my new pencil case (Chopper~~XD), another little Ouran High School Host Club bag for other things, spectacles, cellphone ( i'm going to use it as alarm clock there. haha), purse (my mom gave us pocket money to buy the stuff we want! :D), Malaysian Studies notes and Camera!!??


Yeap, this camera. which is very very old. and it's partially spoil. LOL
i'm not going to use the Canon G11 during the trip, coz' my sister take better photos then me.
So i'm gonna just use this one to take photos of my unnecessary things. :DD
as you can see.. it's only 6 megapixels. ==
I'm so wanna own a brand new digital camera!! not DSLR or semi pro, just normal digital camera will do~ D:
but if can (got money), i want a panasonic Gf2!!
hehe.


i'm actually a perfectionist, i plan what to wear according to the activities we'll do on that day.
my drawing sux btw. ==

you can actually see through these 2 posts...
the habit or attitude when i do my packing really shows that i'm not the kind of person who suits backpack travel.
coz backpack could not fit in all my stuff. lol.==
so in order to organize a backpack travel (to either Taiwan or Japan), i seriously need to change my behavior or habit or attitude or whatever.

Like usual, i'm going to record down all the things happened there in a book.
Here are some of the front pages.

What to bring?


things that i wanted to buy &
place(s) i wanted to go.
basically, my mom planned everything.
and the only place which is not on the list and i wanted to go is 7 eleven (of coz laa. ==)
why?? coz i got a goal, which is go every country's 7 eleven and compare.
I love Taiwan's 7 eleven. LOVE it.




Yessss, my dad is in the holiday mood. :)
Luckily he is not sooo excited until non-stop dancing or singing.

Really, it is so strange to see my dad singing "I need a doctor" by Dr Dre, Eminem & Skylar Grey!!! == ok, maybe it's normal for you to see your dad sings at home.
but for my dad, if you know him, you will be EXTREMELY shocked when you see him singing
this song!!! some more, this song is not any oldies!!
the only time when he sings is:
-in a good mood
-forced by us to sing karaoke
-sing birthday song

so.. i'm glad that he's in a good mood. :D

Hope it's a wonderful trip~ :)
Back to my studies now.

Before the trip to Bangkok :Packing I

The main reason of having this trip is to:
1) visit my brother (again, he's in the student exchange program thingy. so he went from Singapore to Bangkok. so FUN. yes, i am jealous-ing. )
2)travel & shop & eat
3)go to the temple “祈福” so that i can pass my A level with flying colours. (LOL)

Well, at first i really don't want to follow this trip, coz the Raya holiday is only one week, which is extremely short. and the first day after holiday is my Malaysian Studies Examination. At first, my trip was until Monday, on the exam day. Now i changed the plan and the final decision is: I will come back from Thailand on Sunday, and stay over one night at my friend's house! I am happy, coz i don't have to resit the exam or maybe the whole term & i finally got the chance to sleep at my friend (YeeT)'s house. But at the same time, i'm kinda worry coz this is my first time taking flight alone. Normally i don't have to worry anything and just follow what my family do. I guess this is also a good opportunity for me learn to take the flight alone! :)

So... My family and I are going to Bangkok tomorrow night. Yes, night. It's a 10++pm flight, and we're going to reach there midnight. We're going to stay at my brother's hostel (although i could not imagine) for one night and the next morning, we're going to check in this nice hotel:

Anyway, this post is about packing. Honestly, i got a bit problem in packing stuff. ==
Besides than my clothes, there are quite a number of things that i wanted to bring. And here's a photo of things that i wish i could bring:

As you all know, although i use quite a lot of products, my face condition is still not that good, i still have pimples or acne sometimes, and the thing i hate the most: blackheads. I think it's becoz i'm lack of sleep, under stress and drink less water(especially when i'm in college). But one thing for sure is, if i don't use all these products, i think my skin condition would be even WORSE. seriously. and actually, my skin condition gets better actually, compared to my secondary school days. :) What left on my face is scarssssssss..... T^T

Okie basically, that photo is the products that i use daily.No, i don't use all of these in ONE day. The products that i use can be categorized into: -Cleanser (Day & Night), Skin Caring (Day & Night) & Product that i will used before i go out (which means if i stay at home, i won't use it).
So please don't tell me that i put too much chemicals on my face. as you can see, some are actually quite good brands. :P

In this photo:
="Clearasil ULTRA - Rapid Action Treatment Cream" (for my pimples & acne :D)

=my contact lens case, with the "SOLO CARE" contact lens solution"

=Dettol instant hand sanitizer"

="Heme- Skin pore Invisible Balm" (for my hideous pimple scars)

="Heme- pore purifying gel" (to control my oily skin)

="Follow me Oil Control+whitening travel pack" (which contains toner, cleanser & moisturizer cream)

="Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion" (for night use)

="Liese hair cocktail" (for my frizzing hair)
"
=Dove- go fresh aqua body wash"

="Hada Labo - lip moisturizer"

="Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion 9ml" (you probably wondering, why i want to bring so many moisturizing lotion. this is becoz previously my skin is extremely oily. And the reason our face gets oily easily is becoz' our skin is not hydrated. so... this lotion will be used at day, and the other blue one is going to be used at night)

="Vaseline- Healthy White SPF24 triple lightening lotion" ( i actually apply this everyday before i go out)

="Vaseline- Healthy Sunblock" (this have higher SPF and PA++ which can against the UVA & UVB, i can use it just in case i have to expose to sunlight longer period)

="O'slee- Rosehip hydra-white cleansing powder" (yes, it's in powder form. and i find this product very very useful and effective. i use it normally in the morning. at night, i would prefer the other deep cleansing product as my skin had dust and sweat after the whole day)

="Avene -Thermal Spring Water" (to be used during sunburn, various forms of irritation, to complete cleansing and whenever you need a freshness of the skin)

="Biore Cleansing oil in cotton wipes" (coz i'll be using BB cream which is not in the photo. ==)

="Vaseline Lip Essence Chery petroleum jelly" (to be used before sleep)

="Etude house lip tint"

="Clean & Clear- Clear fairness moisturizer" (i actually apply this as my foundation. lol. :D)

="Etude House - Mini Size U" ( contains a bottle of ??? that is used before toner, toner again, essence & emulsion, all these are actually for minimizing pore. i can tell you, the pores before i apply these products are clearly visible, my pores are now much more smaller after using all of these.)

="LOREAL smooth-intense caring shampoo & conditioner" (it's actually my first time using this product, normally i use the other one. but since that brand has no travel pack, so i use this instead.)

That time i showed my mother this photo, she spontaneously shouted: "你 sam pat 啊!?" Then i was like: "why???? D: what's the problem? i thought we are going to check in two luggage?" My mom thought for a while and said: "ok, but your things here must not more than 2kg, or else i won't allow you to bring all of these." After that i quickly bring the electronic weighing machine to my room and try to weigh all the items.

But turns out that there's no weight. ==
(you can see this electronic weighing machine can show you how fat you are! XD)

So i changed to another weighing machine:




you can see the scale: which is also useless. ==

so, i figured out an idea and used this:


LOL.


Yay, luckily, it's below 2kg. which is: 1.58kg.^^

LOL. Anyway, i won't be bringing all of these products there ( even though is less than 2kg.lol.)
And.... Nope, i did not buy all of these, some are free, some belongs to my sis, and yessss, mostly are mine. XD

P/S:I haven't pack my clothes yet. == so bye bye. See You~(tonight) :D

My country

Okie, since Hari Merderka or Hari Kebangsaan or National Day is coming soon on 31st of August. I'll just write one post about my country - Malaysia. Malaysia is going to celebrate 54th National Day this year after so many many years conquered by foreign power. Well, i'm not going to write the whole same history here, which we had learned for 5++ years.

Anyway, all i want to say is: To be honest, i'm not considered as a very patriotic person. I'm not a big supporter of Malaysian products and sometimes will still, "criticize" some of the systems ( like the public transport, public transport, public transport, education, road signs, cleanliness.... ) in this country. Well, although i got so many negative points that i can say, but since National Day is approaching and to show my "love" towards this country. Therefore in this post, i would only say the good things about Malaysia or you can say: The top 3 reasons that i like about this country. :)

The very first and MAIN reason that i like this country is: the FOOD.
Hehe. XD I know it's sounds funny. but it's true. Living in this multiracial country, i got the chance to try different food from different races. We got Malay food like Nasi Lemak, Rendang Ayam, Onde-onde, Sate (satay)... We got Chinese food like Chicken Rice (although Singapore claims that is their food. lol), Bak Kut Teh (my faovurite! XD), Char Kway Teow.. We got indian/ mamak food like roti canai, roti jala, tossai, teh tarik, naan... Peranakan food like Kuih- muih and Laksa... In Malaysia, there's a huge variety of food which you probably cannot finish in just a few days. and besides then that, we still got lots of other food from other countries, including western food, italian food, japanese food, korean food, fast food and so much more. You can say this is the reason which i actually proud of. :D

Secondly is: there's no very "serious disaster" in this country. we have no volcanoes here, no massive earthquakes here. I can say, i'm really really really lucky to be born in this country and I'm very grateful. But it's hard to say, coz' our earth is polluted and in the imminent danger of serious pollution. So, who knows?? one day we might have to face "trouble".

Thirdly, again, in this multiracial country, i got to know lots of friends of different races. Not only Chinese, Indian and Malay, but also other races like Punjabi, Sikh, Iban, Kadazan, Baba Nonya. and some more, in Chinese, we got Hokkien, Cantonese, Foo Chow, Hakka and so on. i got the opportunity to know different cultural and of coz, different language. I am proud to say that i can speak Mandarin, English, Malay, and a bit of Hokkien, Cantonese, and (a bit bit of) Japanese. Plus, I got the chance to celebrate different festivals of different races. :)

Besides than these 3 points, of coz there are other (minor) reasons that i like about this country. :) My conclusion is, Malaysia is still a very nice country, but STILL needs a lot of improvements in different aspects. I hope to see a better country in the future, happy national day, Malaysia. :)

Since brother was going to be with us for weeks before he went Thailand for the student exhange program, we went to eat something very nice, at Edo Ichi. A Japanese restaurant in Mont Kiara. First time we dined there was on Mother's Day. That day was the second time. My favourite dish in the restaurant (so far) - The soft shell crab salad. Love to spend time with my family. Love them. ♥
