Vain Is In My Veins...

A few new items are added into my skincare collection and that means more time are to be spent on my face. Hehe. It's been quite a long time since the last time I write about some thing(s) I purchase. I can always feel some sense of satisfaction whenever I buy something especially it's for me, myself and I. Haha. I know I am vain, and that was how I got the nickname, Mr.Vanity from my friends. Well, lets look at what I had rewarded myself with after four weeks of dull and boring and pointless life.

[Peach Sake Emulsion and Kiwi Yogurt Wash Off Mask from Skin Food. Both are for oil control and minimizing pores]
[Peach Sake Essence Mask Sheet from Skin Food as well. Also for oil control and minimizing pores]
[I bought this three which were imported from Taiwan in Connaught's Pasar Malam for only RM 10. The one with black package is designated for Men and only 1 left when I bought it, and so I chose the other two different masks with it and they have similar functions as the above]
[BB (Blemish Balm) Cream from The Face Shop. It is quite trendy nowadays and almost everyone is using BB Creams as they can cover up flaws and heal and moisturise your skin at the same time. It's like everything in one. Some even have SPF to protect your face from UVA and UVB rays. How fascinating, isn't it? You just need to apply an adequate amount to your face and it will then change the tone automatically to suit your skin tone and that makes your skin looks flawless and natural]
[Free samples from The Face Shop, Su Hyang Snow Maximizing Gel Cream and Rice Water Cleansing Foam]


As you all can see, those I bought are for oily or acne-prone skin because I have oily skin and also large but not so large pores. I need to do whatever I can to save my face and look glamourous always before it's too late. Hehe.

Ah... the sense of satisfaction is crawling all over me. Wish I can buy all of those whatever stuff that my skin needs. If all those doesn't work, I'll have to go for plastic surgery. Wakaka.

Alright, got to go and continue with my ASSignments. Toodles. (^.^)

Super Extreme Boring and Annoying and Sweaty Semester...

It's been a while since the last time I write something about myself. Mostly because taking pictures of artistes and press conferences were the only thing that interests me recently. Leo Club Induction was kinda fun too but I will write about it later as I don't have the pictures yet, and also did some dance performance recently as well. Other than those, my life is pretty boring especially my University life.

It is only the fourth week of this semester and I am already feel like dying. The subjects are all super extreme boring and some were even pointless. Study Skills especially is such a rip off for the subject doesn't make any sense and we paid RM 880 for them to teach us on how to study, managing our time and all those nonsense we learned when we were in primary school. As if we don't know those already and who would ever follow those kind of so-well-and-perfect-disciplined-routine in the first place? That must be a retarded one.

Written Discourse is somehow a time wasting, energy draining and money ripping subject as well. It doesn't make any sense and it's just like any other writing classes but this was more on analyzing the usage of language in writing with all kinds of not-so-understandable terms. Pretty dumb, boring and stupid, right?

For Popular Culture, at least I learned something not only about the subject, but also about the lecturer as well. I can't believe that he can be sooo freaking fake and he always made too many stories too impress us. We are not sure whether he was telling the truth or making things up whenever he tells us his travelling stories and experiences. It is always about him whenever he wanted to give us examples and I am getting really tired of it. I was also assigned into a group of 3 and we are required to go to Taman Negara, Pahang to do some backpacking and also to interview some foreign backpackers there to get to know more about their culture. It's interesting but I've heard some stories about the place and I don't feel like going already. Leeches crawling all over you and sucking blood out of you, have to beware of poisonous mosquitoes and scorpions and snakes, have to be cautious if there is any tiger(s) around you, and bring your safety amulet in case you bump into ghost(s). Scary right? Who would ever go to such secluded and dangerous place? Gosh... While some other groups get to go nice places like Perhentian Island, Malacca, Langkawi, and Cameron Highlands, it's just NOT FAIR. Argh...

As for Alternative Voices, I don't really know what to say because I had been absent for three times in a row due to some unchangeable circumstances. But I heard it's pretty boring too.

Intro to IT is somehow better than all the other subjects because at least I got to learn about the web and how webpages were made by typing html tags into notepad. But of course we only learn those very basic stuff. If we were to go deeper, I might really go crazy as this is totally not the choice of my profession and not in my field of interests.

The air conditioners in UCSI are all gone haywired. Everywhere I go is just too hot and stuffy especially in the classrooms. For God's Heaven sake, can't they repair them immediately? We just couldn't concentrate in the class (although I usually don't as they were super boring and we can just read them from books by ourselves), and we are always fanning ourselves with books or papers (energy consuming and tiring) and some even brought their electronic pocket fan or foldable paper fans. Still, we were sweating like pigs as the room were too full with students, thus, very stuffy. Lets hope this sweaty issue will be gone by tomorrow.

Phew... Complaints over and felt much better. Hope my life will spring back to life soon or I will really die from boredom. Scared that I might not make it back from Taman Negara as I might be swallowed by tiger or snake, or leeches sucking all of my blood, or got stung by poisonous scorpion... (O.o) Argh... I really don't feel like going.

Well, that's all from me. Got to go now.

Ps: Going clubbing this Saturday... WooHoo..!!!

Reno: 'One Chance' Album Launching...

After waiting passionately for ten years, she finally made it and debuted her first album 'One Chance' last Friday in Sg. Wang Plaza. Reno, a young lady with a powerful voice had always been looking for a chance and she was given one and saw the ray of light in her life when she was founded by her current manager, Vincent Chin who was amazed by Reno's voice and promised to bring her to fame. Below are the photos of her very first album launching last Friday.

[The stage]
[Everything were done live]
[Reno singing]
[She is indeed powerful]
[Got a flower bouquet from a friend]
[After singing a few songs, it was time for her autograph session]
[Later, found out that 2 Malaysian artiste were in the line too and they were Eric Chan and Jym Chong]
[Reno taking a picture with Eric and Jym]
[Reno continue signing and she was indeed very happy that night]
[After signing, a press conference were held in U cafe]
[Later, after having our refreshment, Danny got a chance to interview Reno's parents. That night, most of her family and friends were there to support her and we can see that her parents are very happy for her too]
The week before Reno launched her album, we were in U Cafe with her to do an interview. She was very friendly and nice and answered all questions sincerely. She said there are a lot of potential singers in Malaysia but they didn't have or wasn't given the chance by the media to make their own album and that was why Reno and her production team named her album 'One Chance'.
[During the interview with Reno]
[Reno explaining the content of her CD Booklet]
[Promoting her album]

[From left: Anco, one of the producer; Vincent Chin, Reno's Manager; Reno; and her assistant, Carmen]
[Danny and Reno]
[Reno and Yap]
[Finally, Reno and me. I looked a little fat in this picture... hmm...]
I like the concept of her album where they made it look like a movie. When they listen to the song and looking at the booklet, its like a movie and it's more towards what we go through in our daily life. They did live recording for the album so that the listeners can feel like they are in a live performance. Not bad right?
That's all I got to say. For more information, please log on to Danny's magazine at: http://www.jmagz.com.my/

Lee Hom Music Man Live in Malaysia 2009...

Last Saturday (2 May 2009), I finally got my first media pass in my life (thanks to Galaxy and Boston and also Danny) and that was to Lee Hom's Concert in National Stadium, Bukit Jalil. Danny, Yap, Kuno and me reached that place by 7.30pm and it was already very crowded. Luckily for Danny and me didn't have to be in those long lines as we had our media pass. We were then being escorted to our very seats and together with other reporters and photographers. We were then being told that we could only take pictures for the first four songs and we have to get back to our seats after that. We were kinda surprised because we thought we could take as much as we like for further writing and showing Lee Hom's costumes and also what he did in the whole show. They were strict and whenever we take out our camera, a staff would come and blow his or her whistle at us and pointing their torchlights to us. So, below are the limited photos I'd taken during the whole concert. Enjoy...

[My media pass and P represents Photographer]
[Danell Lee performing for the opening act]
[Danell Lee and his last pose]
[Kay, another new Malaysian female singer, also performed that night for the opening act. She was said to be the Malaysian version of Cyndi Wang]
[Cute choreography and that certainly suit her style and also her music]
[Lee Hom's Bahamut Guitar was lowered down and that was already enough to lead all the audience to scream]
[Lee Hom then came out just like his guitar where he was lowered down from the above, and I couldn't take a proper picture of it. So, please forgive me. When Lee Hom played his guitar, he looked cool with and could see he was really into it by looking at his expressions]

[The Bahamut guitar was once lowered again and it was time for Lee Hom to change and rock with it]
[The guitar looked kinda heavy but he looked totally awesome with it]
[Lee Hom jamming with his other guitarists]
That was all the pictures I got and if you guys would like to see the video, please log on to http://www.jmagz.com.my/. It is an online magazine organized by my friend which I already mentioned in almost all of my recent posts. For your convenience, I'll just attach the URL for the article he wrote for Lee Hom's concert and you can also see the videos he recorded during the concert too.
Lee Hom had indeed performed flawlessly with all his powerful and energetic vocal skills. He played violin and piano smoothly and also full of expressions that night too and hit the audiences with awe. That was an unforgettable night. Well, that's all from me. Hope you guys enjoy what I posted. I'm really sorry for the shortage of photos. Adios.
