" Scrolling my Facebook... "


Currently I am messaging 3 people right now... 

I haven't contacted with any of them for years. They are all doing good. 
For some reasons, I teared. 
My unable to let go my feelings yesterday during Eric's dad funeral was the cause I suspected. 

Recalling Eric's story about his dad yesterday, makes me question about my dispute with my mom this morning. 

In the car.

In the toilet. 

In the cubicle. 


The world is so big, but yet the circle is so small. 
Someone's friend is my colleague.
My colleague is my friend's sister. 

Yet we hold so much grudges about others everyday. 
It's so easy to hate. 

Hate my colleague passing by not saying "hi" this morning. 

Hate my client never read my email rejecting my offer about a marketing project.

Hate my cubicle so close to aircond and I'm sneezing all time.

And the hate list go on. 


And today I learn that I should appreciate.
I learned that long ago, but yet I should be reminded again and again, how grateful I am. 

To be with you. 
Writing this post. 

I texted my mom trying to reconcile.  

After all, we are all passbyers in each other life. 
Some stays for a while, some stays longer while. 
But everyone have to leave one day. 


I need to cherish this.

"And I got paid RM8.30 for my shopping, that's almost 8% of my shopping!"

If only shopping was a job, I would be willing to do it for free. Especially online shopping, it's like waiting for someone to deliver your parcel like at Christmas, can't wait to tear off those boxes in gift wrap paper.

I was about to ask who else loves online shopping... But... don't even bother to raise your hands because I know everyone shops online!

Lately I was shopping and trying this latest discount and cashback site in Malaysia that guarantees you getting your "loyalty benefits" by giving you cash back! I was being really skeptical at first but HARD COLD CASH back, who's gonna say no? If you shop under their platform, they pay you back the extra discount in cash! Sure annot...

It just so happens that I was about to shop with Althea and stock up on more Korea skincare and makeup anyway,  so I am thinking to give ShopBack a try.
So I check in and register an account with ShopBack.
Earn cashback together with Althea coupons here!

Here is my August haul!

And I check my account and realize I make some money!
Never thought that I'm would be getting RM8.30 back! It actually works! Wow.

Took me a while for the money to be reflected on my account. I lost my patience at first so I emailed them about it. I was furious but lucky they were very pretty friendly and patient on dealing with my problem.



So apparently ShopBack covered most of the brands that you must have heard of! They have most of the big brands online and some of them are really my favourites.  You definitely won't miss out with stores like Expedia, Tesco, Lazada, Hermo, Althea and many more. I was so impressed with the list.

Even Zalora!

It's a really cool platform and very easy to use.
I would say the only downside is you must cancel your adblock before you shop, also the cash is only redeemable from 30~90 days. Mostly depends on the merchant.

But guess what? The rewards ShopBack gives is the extra money you get back on top of your usual discount and spendings! I guess no harm to wait a bit.

For those keen on trying, use my referral code please? So both of us are getting RM5 from ShopBack! Just click HERE!


I guess it's time to try out my Shampoo Bar from Althea now. Tell you all peeps about the verdict of this soap bar soon!

"Hey babe, wanna work on a business together? I have a business opportunity!" 
This is all how it started. 


There was this one time I told my friend I was once a MLM "investor". And I caught her off surprise that I wasn't even 3 weeks old in this business. True enough, I was told that I could sell anything and everything. But that's not true, one thing I never master selling till now is lies, and friendship.

Just in case you didn't know, MLM is multi level marketing.

I've been itching to share about my MLM story, but it always ended up on hold because I thought people would make fun of me on how naive I was but oh well, I've at last decided to leave it in the open.


Here's the story.
Back a few years ago, one of my close friends talked to me about her online business. We were so close back then. She was a very outspoken, dedicated and passionate girl, someone that I used to look up to.

However, things changed.



She called me up one day. She requested for a meetup to talk about "business opportunity". I agreed, out of greed of wanting to be a success. And that was the day I was being introduced to "World Ventures". She requested me to make a quick move, pay it now. Speaking as if it's solely from herself. I fall for it. Paying thousands for it, taking a leap of faith of it's the calling from the universe that it's my success story next.

It wasn't a lie, maybe.
But it was all GIMMICKs.

And the fact that I fell for it, makes me feel how dumb I am.
We attended all the classes and talks together. And they have all these "successful" trainers tell us how to sell it to our close friends. And all the tricks and gimmicks shown was performed on me by my friend and how I realize it's too late and I've paid.

It's like money that I paid with my own blood and sweat so I have to make the mistake worth while.

Those days were filled with sleepless night thinking who is my next prey. Man, this is as intense as Hunger Games, I was struggling. But I decided to cut it loose at last, because for one request she made that make me see it clear.

The trainers said "Your boyfriend should support you, because if he wants you to be successful, he will join. Make him come, we will talk to him. Let him pay!"

MLM wasn't a new scheme to me. I was being exposed since very young, probably 14 or so. I never joined because I watched them fail. But I have no say about the scheme, as every marketing has it's ups and downs, pros and cons. I've come to a realization the problem with MLM wasn't MLM itself, it's the people who are selling MLM.

The problem, is my friend here.
Friendship shouldn't about gimmicks and forcefully make someone feel bad about not "supporting" you.



I guess people lose friends in life for a reason.
And I guess mine is this.



This blog post is solely my own opinion. Take it or leave.

I love traveling more than anything and one of the things I anticipate about our wedding next March, is my free "sponsored" trip from Leon. I know, free travel is the best. Tell me in the comment where are the best honeymoon places! I could really use some advice!

Last month, Leon and I went to Batu Caves. Despite the place being slightly dirty, everything is amazing. The gold color enormous statue is jaw dropping and overwhelming. I stood in awe when I had the chance to see it in front of me. 


Fun fact about Malaysia's Batu Caves is we have the second tallest Hindu deity statue in the world!

The stairs are really steep to walk.
These steps are almost 90 degrees up but it's a healthy Sunday activity for both of us!

I took every step cautiously and comfortable shoes play a big role here.
The shoes I am wearing are from Skechers.


You will see a lot of monkeys on your way, be really careful not to step on them! 
It's quite a sight but definitely feeding is not encouraged, but you will see lots of people feeding pigeons and monkeys anyway.

The scenery feels like another world.




Some interesting cave ceiling spikes formed due to.... (insert science and geology here)

Some say that if you manage to carry your love one and walk to the top, your love will last forever.
Looks like forever is only for strong couples, we just took a picture instead.

 One side note for ladies, Always remember to wear clothing that is long enough to cover your knees.
Or else, you'll have to pay RM5 to rent a shawl. Refund the shawl after the visit tho, you'll get back RM2.


Overall, we spent RM3 because of the rental of the shawl, and RM2 for the inevitable parking fees. There's other alternatives to go Batu Caves but I still find driving the easiest.

It wasn't cheap at all for a 11 years old.

I can still vividly remember how much I look up to Jolin when I am 11years old. I remember I spend my savings for months just to buy her music CD, original.

Still being the most iconic star among the Asia pacific and as well as the Chinese music industry, I was thrilled to attend her concert 2 weeks ago.

A sea of pink!
 


Reason No. 1: 
The whole play was super grand and the set up is very well planned from every single aspect I can think of. I ain't gonna deny that is probably the most spectacular stage background I've seen by far.



Reason No. 2:
The fact that Jolin herself is a professional artist wasn't just rumors.
Due to rain that day, the wet stage caused Jolin to fall on the stage. You must have heard it somewhere but if you see her, and her high heels, you just can't stop being baffled by how amazing she is by moving all over stage in such conditions. All we heard is a loud noise of a mic fall, that's all. She stood back up immediately and continued on with her show with a smile! So proud of her!

Reason No. 3:
The fact that most of the dancers are Black and they are super good at what they are doing, some even wear high heels and impressed me alot. Even I try to refrain from heels in everyday life, and they actually dance on it, BIG MOVEMENTS dance.

Reason No. 4:
How pretty is all of her costumes! And how fit she is in her 30s.
I watched her from her first album till now, she only has grown prettier.


Reason No.5: 
It really amazes me that she did not bring any guests to her Play concert in Malaysia, but she never let her fans down. The transition between songs is seamless and the time she left for costume changing, there are even specially made videos to entertain the crowd. She sings about 30 songs in around 2 hours + -, and I did not see any flaw of her (except for the fall and she played it well)

Overall, it was an extraordinary experience despite the rain.
Also, check out my make up inspired by Jolin, with dog filter cause face too fat.

 Me and Aerisk with Jolin face swap, (laughs).
Check out her beauty blog!






Alright, I am signing off,
Work hard, PLAY harder!
