March Favourites

Hello there! I haven't been blogging for about two weeks, apology for my absence, I've been travelling home (where my family stays) and hometown (where my root is) for cheng beng! I did something unbelievable too, I DROVE ALL BY MYSELF FOR 6+ HOURS (2 WAYS TRIP)!!! I wouldn't let my parents to drive so I did it by myself, while my brother was helping out at the store. 

Well I haven't given up on favourites but I'm going to do some adjustments to it. I've become a lot more committed to blogging since I started to blog about favourites but now, instead of doing it biweekly, I'm going to do it on a monthly basis. Well the reason being so is I would like to spend more time on writing more interesting posts such as travel, beauty etc...

Now without further ado...let's see what my March favourites were!

Favourite Skincare:

This KOSÉ SEKKISEI’s Special Edition Trial Kit is my new love! I'm now finished with this trial kit I felt so regretful that I didn't get a spare set when they were doing promotion! Love how it feels on my skin! For full detailed review please check out my previous post at here .

Next favourite is this Biore UV Spray. It's my favourite for sunblock retouch purpose as it's much easier to reapply sunblock after every few hours especially when I'm teaching for long hours. Very high coverage in SPF 50+ and PA++++, I'm using it as my hair sunblock too! 

And this...my ALL TIME FAVOURITE cleansing wipes from Bifesta! I got it in the Hello Kitty edition, so adorable! I've blogged this before so for full and detailed review please check out my previous post here .

Favourite Body Product:

I'm not a body lotion type of person, the weather in Malaysia is scorching hot and I often feel that the body lotion melt right after I apply it. It becomes sticky on my skin. Then I decided to try this Nivea's In-Shower Body Lotion when I shopped at Watson, this is a game changing for me! By applying this after shower gel and rinsing it off, my skin is not burdened by the lotion anymore. No more sticky tacky feeling and skin is softer and smoother!

Favourite Tea:

I've been drink this Jasmine and Green tea from Totally Organic for a couple of months already, bought it randomly. I didn't know what's the logic behind but this tea soothes my menstrual pain.

Favourite Book:

I know I'm late to the bookclub but I discovered this Secret a while ago, getting the ''HERO'' version for my first secret book and I'm going to get another one. I love reading a few pages before bed time.

Favourite Quote:

I'm a strong believer of daily activities such as actions, practices, conservations, training would determine who you are in the future.

Favourite Movie:

This movie is based on true story. It narrates a rescue mission of a Coast Guard who made a daring decision to rescue sailors trapped on a massive storm. Others called it a suicide mission and never expected he'll back with dozens of survivors. 

"Impossible mission in other's eyes could be possible in yours."

Favourite Inspirational Video:

I'm into TED Talks nowadays, and this is my favourite one from last month - GOING ALL IN ON YOUR PASSION.

Favourite Music:

That's all for my March favourites!  ♥♥

Biweekly Favourites

Hello there, it's time for another Biweekly Favourites! I thought I was not going to update it on time with all the Chinese New Year busy-ness and stuffs, I was surprised that I could actually still keep it up! So far so good :). 

Check out my favourites for the past two weeks!

Favourite Quote:

A great reminder for myself, for playing different roles in many fields. I always find it very struggling with jobs, study, piano practice, blogging and even house chores. I couldn't split myself like Naruto and do so many at one time. I get the inspirations from this quote, "discipline" is the key. 

Favourite Article:

Full article - http://yourmusiclessons.com/blog/how-to-memorize-music-5-times-faster/

This is an article for memorization, the whole topic is about how to secure our memorizations. I find it very helpful to me. Even though it's for musicians especially pianists cause we've tons of music to be memorized, but I guess it's helpful for those who're studying or trying to improve their memory too.

Favourite Snack:

To be honest, I think no one will ever resists this Once A Year CNY snacks. Pineapple tarts and peanut biscuits are my favourite! I've gained some weights from this, well it happens every year. :(

Favourite Drink:

Influenced by Xiang, this Chrystathemum Tea is my favourite! It's not as healthy but it's still better than soft drinks, hmm...at least it's less sugar, and no preservatives.

Favourite Hair Product:

I've been using quite a lot of dry shampoo for the past month, when the weather started to turn to broiling hot! Sometimes I sweat more than usual so dry shampoo is my rescue. I'll still shampoo off at the end of the day because I don't like the feeling of hair product sticking on my scalp. 

Favourite Food:

Well it's not exactly my favourite food cause pork isn't my thing. Xiang and I had our Valentine's Day lunch at Ante, and he ordered this pork steak. He was so excited over the amazing taste of this pork steak and kept on asking who recommended me this restaurant. I had only 1 bite it's very juicy and meaty taste hahaha! Well it somehow taste like beef steak if I've to say. 

Xiang's verdit: It's better than most of the regular beef steak; tender, juicy and chewy! 

Favourite YouTube Video:

Watched quite a few of organization and cleaning video to get some inspirations and tips for spring cleaning before Chinese New year, and this is my favourite one!

Favourite Music:

That's all for today's favourites, may the new year brings you prosperity, joy, health and wealth! ♥♥

Biweekly Favourites

Hello there, I'm going to start something new on my blog this year, which is Biweekly Favourites. I really hope I could keep this up, and I think this is one of the motivations for me to at least switch on my laptop once every 2 weeks. Well, I really don't work with computers a lot, my daily routine mainly only involves piano and books. 

Favourite Gadget:

I got the Samsung Note 5 before Chiang Mai trip and only get the casing recently. This phone is amazzinggg....The reason behind picking this phone is because of my Note 1, I've been using it until Note 5 was released! Imagine how long my phone could last, I couldn't believe myself to when I told my friends about it. "Hey I'm switching my phone from Note 1 to Note 5!". Well, my Note 1 hasn't died yet and Xiang is using it as his backup phone. I hope my new phone could last me as long too!

Something amazing for the phone case: I could answer calls without flip open the case! 

Favourite Quote:

Read this on twitter, immediately I was connected to it! I was trying to find which book is this from but to no avail. On the pursuit of my music dreams, there are tons and tons of people trying to stop me, judge me, despise me, and whatsoever. Well, that is not their lives, I don't have to waste my energy trying to convince them. Do what you think it's right, do what you think it's your true calling,

"Keep facing your true north"

Favourite Book:

Paulo Coelho became one of my favourite author ever since I read his book "The Alchemist". This book is about 4 different characters; how much they're willing to sacrifice for their own desire, obsession, and fame.  

Favourite Planner:

 

This beautiful Starbucks planner serves as a monthly and weekly planner to me.

Favourite Music:

Favourite Skincare:

I've been using this for a while, bought this at SASA during sales at the price of RM 59.90/ box, buy 2 free 1. Each box contains 7 pcs. 

To be honest what's written on the back "beauty-salon formulation and money-back guaranteed within 14 days" caught my eyes. Well they're quite good for my sensitive skin, very moisturizing and is considered one of the cheaper choice for silk mask.

Favourite Drink:

I've been making this drink - Honey Lemon for quite some time now. It's my all time favourite! 

Ingredients:

1. Honey

2. 1 lemon, thinly sliced

How to make it: 

Fill the glass jar with a base of honey, top with 1 slice of lemon, then top with honey. Repeat the process. Refrigerate for at least 3 days. 

Pour some honey lemon onto the cup, add cold water and ice, a drink to be enjoyed on these scorching hot days!
