Good things must share

I found something fabulous, and i definitely must share this with you.

Saw the advertisement for BIO-ESSENCE Radiant Youth Essence a couple of times, and was sceptical about their claims "Just 7 days, Tender & Finer skin like baby's".

Came across the tester for this product in Watsons (on Hari Raya Haji, which falls on 27/11 this year). Well, curiosity kills the cat, and oh man, i got blown away immediately. Just a drop of it, and gently massaged it onto the back of my hand, it just "disappeared", and skin becomes baby soft.

For someone like me, who's only strict in my cleansing regime, but lazy with the application of toner, moisturiser & sunblock, this product is amazing. Needless to say, i bought this, and excitedly went home to share this with my mum. She too, agreed that it's not as greasy as it looked initially, easily absorbed, and feels extremely light on the skin.

I'm into my 3rd day, and I'm already experiencing a change in my skin texture, it just feels softer and tender to touch.

Verdict: for $27.60, i say you have to give this a try.

Evil Twin

There is a huge character flaw which i refused to admit. That fiendish streak in me, is a friend i adopted when i was 7... "She" sits on my right shoulder, whispering snide remarks into my ear, and stirs my blood to boil. Because of her, i become a perpetual pain seeker (a ruminator:- one that turns a matter over and over in the mind), and a worrisome control freak (but I'm not a perfectionist).

Bedroom is the sanctuary which i seek refuge in, knowing that's the only way to better manage my thoughts when I'm alone. I demand for my space, my rights, and undivided attention, which make me a 100% fiend. I'm 50% devilish, 20% manic, 30% nonchalant to total strangers and enemies. Of course i can feel love as well, it's just that I'm sceptical about it, hence not receptive towards it. But once you got me convinced, it's total devotion.

I'm not condemning my evil twin thou, she does have her merits. Because of her, I'm caution & conscious, she's good at building protective barriers, hence the less tendency to get hurt when others sneak up to attack me. She's intuitive, resulting that I'm able to second guess any ill intentions. Many happy returns my dear twin!

Do you have an evil twin too? *wink*

Something to think over... ...

Yesterday seems like another graduation day for me, it's just that I'm without the proper gear (graduation gown and cap). But this time i have only 1 fellow supportive comrade with me.

How do i feel? Would you believe me if i tell you i felt nothing?

So many years in a company, i know i am insignificant, and no where near any success.

Confucius said "Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure".

I have seen so many people working hard and preparing themselves ahead, and yet success never came knocking on their doors. Do i fear that it will happen to me as well? That crosses my mind so very often, i am constantly preparing myself to accept failures and disappointments (无常), so that when it does happen, i can accept it calmly with poise. After all, not everyone is destined to succeed. I was only an ok student, never the cream of the crop, so i should be contented with what i have now.

Perhaps there's no need to insist on anything, if I'm not fated to have it, God must have other plans for me. Or maybe that someone did more merits, and deserves it more than me. Surely i will have it the next round, as one must always be hopeful.

There's this saying which i wholeheartedly believe in "you gain some, you lose some" (有得, 必有失). Learn how to take glory and defeat humbly with a pinch of salt.

Flu-ly

Gosh! I have been seriously sick the past 3 days.

Nose super blocked, feeling feverish but no abnormally high temperature, minor sore throat. I kept drifting in and out of sleep, and was barely awake for more than 5 hours. Was on 2 days MC but went back to work today *sObz* Nobody sayang me de. My boss said it's ok for me to "faint on the carpet" flooring. Fine!

My mum keep asking me whether did we contracted H1N1, oh my goodness, so cute de my mum. I only managed to stop her by threatening to call for an ambulance to send her to the hospital as "suspected H1N1 case"... but i know she'll start doing it all over again tomorrow. *siGh*

I can feel the medicine working now, i better go tuck myself into bed. Goodnight! *mUacks*
