Analog Camera

Im not professional photographer for sure. But i do like camera especially analog and polaroid. I dont know there's something about those not so perfect quality picture that really appeals me. Felt really romantic and so natural.
I do believe imperfection is what make something unique and beautiful.
I had this Diana F+ Deluxe Kit and love them until today. I can be sloopy with digital camera, since everything already automatic and do things for me. But Diana F+ i have to take extra attention when i want to take picture otherwise the picture will turn up badly. All the setting have to be done manually.





I like these camera.

Bead Embroidery Jewellery

Since im teenager i never wear any type of feminine jewellery. I always like to be sporty.
The only jewellery that i always wear is only my sporty watch. Im so use to it and it became my "safe choice" for any occassions.
Suddenly, i bumped into a book whilst im surfing on inet. The book was about bead embroidery jewellery.
The thing that i like about bead embroidery jewellery, they timeless, classic, and colorful.
So, i started a necklace project. Its Lapis Lazuli pendants with herringbone choker.
Seriously, i cant do sewing. I got massive headache when i started making them. And it take ages for me to finish it, due to lack of skill i end up did voodoo to my fingers ie. Pricking my fingers with the needle. Tangled thread thats another things that can be quite frustrating. Lucky mum come to save by teaching me bit about stitches. :p
The books that inspired me, The Art of Bead Embroidery: Techniques, Designs, & Inspirations
And here i present you, drum roll please........

Face thingy

Sorry, i dont know what is this thing called since i always call it Clarisonic. Is it a face buffer? or face exfoliator? oh what ever i will just call it Clarisonic.

Ok, this gadget been out for quite some time and i never got interested on it. I thought having my face scrub is already good enough why do i need those thing? Last week, i met up with my friend and she worked as makeup artist and she gave me some makeover, since i was thinking to buy new makeup. Then she said to me that my face had so many dead skin so when we tried the makeup even after she put the moisturizer it looks to white for me since i had so many dead skin. She's telling me to get this face thingy/ gadget. So last week i bought Clarisonic Mia- Pink
So far until today, i do felt my face really soft and less dry skin, my face skin look bit more fresh not so dull. Now, i do like this face thingy and its awesome. Thanks alot for the person that inventing this.

Makeup remover

I really don't like the after experience using makeup remover somewhat they really made my face dry.
My sister gave a tips, she said "try baby oil they really a good makeup remover, it even can wipe off waterproof mascara".



Hence, i tried it. I've been using baby oil for my children when they in the bath or after bath. At first bit not sure after tried it, really pleased my face felt really moist and the makeup came off easily. Even after that im washing my face with water i still can feel my face soft and not dry.

Worth to try.

Dating with T

T drove the children to his parents house. And he took me out dinner in restaurant. Since we have the children, most of times we do run around like headless chicken everyday become the same routine. Sometimes marriage relationship can turn bit sour and no chemistry left.
As much we love our children to dearly yet sometimes it can be really tiring just to hearing cry, scream, tantrum. Lucky, my parents in law willing to help out so we can have a night out and give us some space just to be together.
I like it, whenever T took me out. Holding hands, laughing and sharing our cynical jokes.

Another day on cold winter

Suddenly this weekend the temperature drop quite drastically. It was kinda warm winter since early dec 2012 thought it will be warm until spring ;p  yesterday was 1 celcius now become 2 celcius it didnt made much different all i can felt today freezing my hands got numb, the children have to get wrapped up thick enough.
Things that really annoys me with winter outdoor activities become restricted, im mean i still take my children out but its just not so regular like in summer time. But hey, whatever the weather life must go on right? Thats all mothers have to do, theres always a way out on anytype of condition.

Full gear for day out

My 2 yo son, he really hate pushchair since he's able to walk. Everytime i put him in the buggy, he will screaming for the entire journey.
There's time when im prefer put him in the baby carrier rather than in such hassle try to put him into the pushchair. After i gave birth to my second son, it became tricky.
I realized there's lots of children in our area went out with scooter, then im doing some research for quite sometime, try to choose around lots of scooter brand that being offered .
Finally, i choose micro mini scooter
The reason im choosing them, after trying played around with my friend daughter scooter then asked my friend review about the product. I found these scooter wheels really smooth and didnt made any noise to gliding around rough tarmac and paving block. Other reason the fact they come in different colour and look really funky and cool. ;p
Ah, forgot other thing im also bought Scoot 'n Pull:Red
Other things that always being carried around which is important since my son can suddenly ran and i dont want to lose him, is using children harness. Im using Toddler Animal DaySack Ladybird LittleLife Code No: L10239
My son is really happy whenever we went out he love his scooter and willing to go out easily without much tantrum, so i can pop my young baby in the baby carrier or pushchair and pull along my other son in the scooter. So far things went well without much hassle for me.

Baby carrier or sling

There's million things need to be consider when a newborn baby due to join our family. From names, clothes, cot, nappies,  pushchair, etc. One of other thing that im going to talking about today is about baby sling. Theres so many times when bring pushchair is not suitable with the condition that we are into that moment, the other solution is baby carrier or sling.

I have been looking around many brands and styles for baby carrier or sling, since theres plenty of choices out there. And one day i saw a mum using ERGObaby carrier.

We bought and used it until today and when we doing outdoor walking, running errands, those sling is really comfortable. Now my son is 2 years old, we sometimes still put him in ERGObaby and he still fit in comfortably inside the sling.





Ah, forgot to mention other things that we love from this baby carrier the fact when your children legs quite long enough in the way you can used the carrier and put your children on your back, plus the baby carrier come up with a hood to cover the children head and its detached to a front pockets so will never lose muslin that blown away by the wind or accidentally dropped and got muddy.


Its worth the money, and ticking all boxes for a must have item. Bless to whom that invented and designed ERGObaby

My daily makeup review

Im a mother of 2yo and 7mts boys, at these time moment i hardly ever had decent 8 hours sleep. Im already anemic since long time ago so i already have a really pale face and now on top of that i got sleep deprivation, sure enough im looking like panda nowadays.

Im also dont have any time to put full make up, all my make up for 2 years now its only 
a tinted lip balm from burt's bees tiger lily, garnier eye roll on and a "that gal" brightening face primer by benefit.

The fact that i dont have much spare time those things only take me 2 minutes and i can get out from the house not feelling like a panda. The lip balm has colour but not so vivid which i like it, looks as if it was my real lips colour. Ha! Andddd the brightening face primer im so in love with it, what can i say it gaves glowing effect that make me look fresh. And its not giving me those oily heavy effect creamy sticky face, my face felt soft and they do have bit kinda strawberry smells (might be im wrong but thats the close thing i can think about when im using it). Last one the garnier eye roll on, it did works for me. I dont have panda eyes and tired look after im using it. Im sworn by those 3 products and still using them until today

Sherlock Holmes

One time, T stumble upon one channel, that time sherlock holmes was played, he's never been huge fan of tv. So when he able to sat down infront of tv for some time must been really good apart from bbc news. I will be honest, I never understand Sherlock Holmes novel before, tried many times to read and got bored after few sentences. Dont know might be because english is not my first language or its just to difficult to understand the novel itself.

But after watched the Sherlock Holmes series finally i got good grasp and enjoy it. Infact it became my favourite series all time. Great actors, excellent plot, world class act. Really cant get enough with the series, i watched them over and over again. The best episode that i like definitely "The Dominatrix", seeing Sherlock got mellow under Irene Adler charm, so cute. Ah forgot to mention am officially Cumberbitch since then. I think i need to dedicated one post just talking about Cumberbatch later on, otherwise these article will end up talking about him rather than the Sherlock Holmes series. For some of you that havent see the series you can get the dvd here. Sherlock - Series 1 and 2 Box Set [DVD]
