Skin Care Product

Everyone dreams to have a smooth and radiant skin..who doesn't aite?? It is very important for us to take care our skin since muda remaja..Jangan tunggu muka dah ade line-line halus tu baru nak cari skin product to rejuvenate back your skin, at that time it's already too late!

When it comes to skin product, I would say that I am a loyal user of which skin product that I use..I started to use facial cleanser when I was 13 years old..At that time I just entered boarding school...Masa tu I tak tau lagi pentingnya to take care of my skin sebab kulit masa itu adalah sangat muda remaja...takde masalah jerawat langsung..and my very first facial cleanser was Olay Total White...sebab the price is reasonable for budak-budak sekolah macam I masa itu..I'd been using Olay for almost 3 years (lama kan??) then at the beginning of Form 3 (as far as I could remember..) pimples started beranak-pinak atas muka I yang suci itu...hehe..My mom suggested to change to Tricia's Tea Tree Facial Gel sebab maybe Olay dah tak berapa sesuai for my skin masa tu...Sekejap jer pakai Tricia's sebab macam tak berapa berkesan sangat..Kalau tak silap I, I just used it until final drop then I switched to Pure & Mild Facial Product...

I really like Pure & Mild Facial Cleansing Foam.. The texture is a white creamy paste and it smells good too..It has light floral scent but not too strong..After cleansing, skin feels soft and smooth, and squeaky clean! I love to touch my face after washing, it just feels so good!..Beleive it or not I used this product since then until I graduated..tak pernah tukar langsung! I've told you I ni pengguna yang setia..In addition to that I also used Pure & Mild Brightening Emulsion and Pure & Mild White UV Protector..tu pon lepas I masuk university..beli pakai duit scholarship...

After I started working, I changed to Dermalogica Skin Product after being consulted by facial therapist during my first facial treatment..My job requires me to work outdoor under the sun most of the time thus I really need intensive care of my skin..What I like about Dermalogica product is you can analyse your skin type by using Perfect Skin Care’s Dermalogica real-time skin analysis..It's like face mapping analysis in which your face will be divided into zone..By doing that you'll know which Dermalogica skin product suits for your face..My face is dry and a little bit oily, so my facial therapist recommended me to use Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution, Dermalogica Daily microfoliant, Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner and for moisturiser Dermalogica Active moist..Besides that I also use Dermalogica Oil-Free Matte Block for sunscreen..It has SPF 20 to protect skin from ultraviolet ray..

Dermalogica Essential cleansing solution

It has a milky texture and water-soluble. Apart of using it as a cleanser, I also use it as make-up removal. Easy to rinse off leaving the skin refreshingly clean, soft and supple.

Dermalogica Daily microfoliant

Oh! I really like this scrub!..This unique, rice-based enzyme powder microfoliates dulling debris and instantly leaves the skin noticeably smoother and brighter. Just need to put a little bit of this microfoliates powder and mix with water, apply to your face and massage gently.

Dermalogica Multi-active toner

This is my favorite product ever! It's odour-less and I feel refresh after using it. Sometimes in the mid day I just simply spray over my face..

Dermalogica Active moist

This light-weight, oil-free moisturiser absorbs without a trace, creating an invisible barrier against moisture loss.

Dermalogica Oil free matte block SPF 20

Yang best about this sunblock is ianya tak sticky and absorb really fast into your skin. Muka tak nampak berminyak even long after applying it.

My new addition of Dermalogica product.

Dermalogica Skin hydrating masque & Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser

So far I am quite satisfied with this range of product..I've been using these product for almost 3 years now..Pernah jugak rasa nak tukar to other skin product..SK II perhaps?? Anyone yang pernah try any SKII product silalah beri pandangan anda yer...

Thank You for reading! Have a nice day!

Tatkala teringat Malaysian Foods...

...makanan ini adalah peneman setia...hehehe

Today I teringin and mengidam sangat nak makan nasi berlauk gulai ketam and tomyam ayam...tapi diriku ini sangat malas nak masak and bahan-bahan pulak tak mengcukupi (alasannnnn!!)..Untuk mengubati kerinduan nak makan masakan melayu asli I masak la meggi Tomyam + telur 2 biji...In this period of time memang meggi pon rasa nikmat makan...

My mom ada bekalkan sambal ikan bilis tapi sebab tinggal sikit and nak budget bekalan sambal ikan bilis mencukupi sampai hujung bulan ni, kena divert nafsu makan kepada bekalan makanan yang lain..kedekut kan I...hehehe

Slurppppp....Jemput makan kawan-kawan....

Working Attire

One thing I like about my job which I'm doing now is the fact that I don't have to think which suitable baju to wear for the day...I know that some of you especially who are working in the office will face a tough time in the morning deciding which baju that you want to wear that can match together with your handbag or shoes...

I was on the way back from the rig after spending 3 weeks in the middle of nowhere..That's explain my happy face..('o')

For me, each morning after shower, I just grab a t-shirt (be it long sleeve or short sleeve) and a pair of jeans or trousers (sometimes I just simply wear a tracksuit) with my hijab then I'm ready to go to work...Because during working hours I will wear my blue coverall provided by company for the rest of the day..Come to think again it is really ease me that I don't have to bring a lot of clothes each time I travel to anywhere which related to work..For shoe I always wear something that easy to take off as I have to remove it later on and change to safety boot..normally I opted to wear sport shoe or I just slip in a sandle..isn't it simple and easy peasy??

Me in blue coverall..Yes I look dirty and ugly in this picture..But it is nature of my work 'bermain dengan minyak'

Me, cam-whoring during work..hehe

My loyal dirty-Jalletto safety boot..I've been wearing it for 2 years..Now I have a new one Red-wings...

But once n awhile when I feel like I wanna to dress up a little bit I will wear kemeja with jeans and my favorite Crocs ballerina pumps..Ohh it's so comfy and cute!

Crocs ballerina pumps in purple...I like!

So guys, what do you plan to wear for tommorow?

Have fun dressing up!

Reaching 4 weeks..

Oh my...It has been reaching 4 weeks since I left Malaysia..I can say that I am starting to feel emotionally unstable..seriously!!.As for now, I feel very easy to piss off about anything that not done according to what I expected..and this is not good...

I have another 3 weeks until my rotation is finished..3 weeks is too long..and I can't wait any longer!!!

I hope I can go to the rig anytime soon because I know if I went to the rig the time will fly very fast and without noticing it I will be reaching to the end of my rotation and go home..I want to cuddle my Emir and spend my time with him..kalau la I ada "pintu-suka-hati" macam Doraemon kan best...I can be in two places in within any seconds!..

I have tried to keep myself busy like playing tennis and do some work out so that I could shift my mind from keep on thinking about going home..but after certain period of time I will keep thinking about going home again...

Now I have to figure out about something that is fun and keep me busy without thinking about going home which not really happening anytime soon..online window-shopping perhaps?? since I can't go out from the camp freely, it is good to feast my eyes and my desire with something nice and something that I know by the time I go home I will get it, touch it and wear it...hehehe..

On top of all that, actually I miss this handsome little guy so much...

Being treated as a president..

..just on the road....macam gempak jer tajuk entry hari ini..

As I mentioned before our company's security level in Nigeria is very high..Each time we all keluar from the camp memang kena escort tak kira la dekat ker jauh..escort memang wajib!

So geng-geng security ni terdiri from Nigeria's Police Department and also our company ada security team sendiri yang terdiri daripada abang-abang gagah perkasa from Scotland..Rasa-rasanya our company tak trust 100% from Nigeria's Police Department kat sini kot...bribery and risau kalau-kalau ada pisau dalam lipatan that's why our company hired someone from outside just to monitor them..I've been told jugak yang abang-abang Scotland are not allowed to carry gun and hanya Nigeria's Policeman jer boleh...

Antara abang-abang gagah perkasa a.k.a security team in my company..they will stand outside the bus to make sure everyone is on the bus before we depart and they will also make sure number of people masa pergi adalah sama dengan jumlah mereka yang pulang ke base di waktu petang..

Charlie Pepper 1 @ CP 1...that's what we call them during working hours besides their name..Seriously!!..ada CP1,CP2,CP3 and CP4...mereka ni la yang ditugas kan monitor abang-abang police Nigeria yang jadi escort we all..Tengok lengan pon dah tau abang ni tough kan..

Each vehicle moving out from the camp akan ada escort depan and belakang by Nigeria's Police Department..Abang-abang police kat depan tu memang tak pernah senyum langsung...ketat jer muka tu..hehehe..

Ooo..pernah satu hari tu, ada one car ni nak try menyelit in between our bus and the police escort depan bus we all..abang police tu macam cepat jer nak angkat his gun and pointed to that car..I yang tengok ni pon macam seram jer..relax la abang police..brother tu agak nya pon tak tau yang we were being escort by them..brother dalam kereta tu sure cuak giler at that time..

Abang police turun suruh kereta-kereta lain ke tepi to give a way to us...Traffic memang sangat teruk every morning and every evening..one of the thing sebab condition jalan yang sangat teruk..

Last Saturday, I have been told that there were robbery incident happened closed to our camp..Nak di jadikan cerita masa tu our company car from airport baru jer nak masuk simpang to our camp..then nampak ada geng yang try nak rompak one of the shop closed by our camp..Apa lagi kejadian tembak menembak pon berlaku la..Alhamdulillah takde nyawa yang melayang sebab geng tu sempat lari..and Alhamdulillah jugak I was not in the car during that time..kalau tak mesti rasa phobia giler...

P/S: Doakan keselamatan I dekat sini...Hopefully nothing will happen while I am here..Nauzibillah..

Adamaya....Mirakim...ada kaitan...('O')

I am sure mesti ramai yang suka tengok cerita ni kan??? After Nur Kasih I rasa this drama berjaya menarik hati I untuk tiap-tiap hari bukak TV3.com.my...Actor and actress pon best and I paling suka tengok budak kecil nama dia Amani dalam cerita ni..So cute and adorable..Kalau diganding kan dengan anak teruna saya memang sesuai dijadikan calon menantu..tetapi dia tua 3 tahun from Emir..but now what you can say about age kan? it is just a figure??hehehe..


Basically this story is a romantic comedy about seorang teenage girl ni di paksa berkahwin dengan one guy yang dia tak cinta sebab her parents kena bertugas in Africa..Arranged marriage bak kata omputih tu...barisan pelakon seperti Hussein Ruffedge dan Lisa Surihani dan pelakon-pelakon lain tak hebatnya jugak seperti Faizal Yusup, Diana Amir, Hamidah Wahab, Puteri Mardiana, Dian P.Ramlee, Mustapha Kamal, Hafizudin, dan ramai lagi..

Sinopsis drama ni is taken from here..

"Perkahwinan adalah suatu ikatan suci manakala cinta sejati menuntut pengorbanan. Begitulah yang terjadi terhadap Adam, 24 tahun (Hussein) dan Maya, 21 tahun (Lisa Surihani). Adam kelulusan undang-undang tetapi lebih cenderung kepada fotografi. Maya merupakan pelajar universiti tahun kedua dalam bidang insuran. Ibu bapanya mengambil keputusan mencarikan suami yang dapat menjaganya kerana mereka terpaksa bekerja di luar negara selama lima tahun. Adam ialah pilihan terbaik kerana ibu bapa mereka bersahabat baik.

Adam menurut kehendak ibu bapanya kerana tidak mahu menghampakan mereka. Maya pada mulanya membantah kerana mempunyai kekasih hati, Dani (Faizal Yusup) tetapi selepas dipujuk oleh ibu bapanya, dengan alasan yang kukuh, dia akhirnya bersetuju. Walaupun tiada perasaan cinta, Adam sebagai suami telah bertindak bijak untuk mencari titik persamaan yang menyatukan mereka.

Mereka mula bercinta dan dikurniakan seorang anak. Selepas lima tahun, percintaan mereka menghadapi dugaan tatkala Maya digoda kembali oleh Dani. Adam mula berjauhan dengan Maya untuk mengejar impiannya dan ini membuatkan mereka sering bergaduh. Adakah Maya akan menyedari tiada cinta yang lebih tulus selain dari cinta suaminya?

Adam menurut kehendak ibubapanya kerana tidak mahu menghampakan mereka. Maya pada mulanya membantah kerana telah mempunyai kekasih hati, Dani (Faizal Yusup) tetapi setelah dipujuk oleh ibubapanya, dengan alasan yang kukuh, dia akhirnya bersetuju..

Walaupun tiada perasaan cinta, Adam sebagai suami telah bertindak bijak untuk mencari titik persamaan yang menyatukan mereka. Mereka mula bercinta dan dikurniakan seorang anak.

Adakah Maya akan menyedari tiada cinta yang lebih tulus selain dari cinta suaminya?

Adamaya mengisahkan perkahwinan di usia muda, di mana memerlukan komitmen yang tinggi dan tanggungjawab serta persefahaman sesama pasangan."

Live from Nigeria - Part 2

....continuation from previous entry....

Perghhh..berjanggut para pembaca blog ni tunggu nak tau episode sambungan cerita saya di Nigeria (ada ke pembaca??..teetttt)..So today I'm gonna continue my story a little bit about my life in Nigeria..

Recap balik entry yang lepas..I sampai in Port Harcourt domestic airport around 9 in the morning..Alhamdulillah journey from Lagos to Port Harcourt took only 45 minutes..Nasib baik jugak la sekejap jer sebab weather tak berapa nak baik pagi tu..I merasa jugak naik focker you all..Not bad jugak but bunyi propeller berpusing memang tak boleh nak elak la..From the airport we went to Blue Base (my working place)..I tak turun pon just dropped by one guy then we moved to the NTC camp..

At first bila I dengar pasal NTC Camp ni, I imagined tempat ni macam camp askar..but boy I was wrong!!..NTC Camp is a compound ala-ala resident houses gitu..semua expat kena duduk dekat sini..Kalau di lihat pada wall tinggi around the camp memang rasa macam duduk dalam penjara but kalau dilihat pada sudut yang berbeza or tengok kepada facilities yang lain, tak rasa pon macam terkurung dalam prison..

Camp ni complete dengan facilites like tennis court, volley ball court, playground, swimming pool, gym, restaurant, offices and houses of course..and all houses in NTC camp has different design..ada yang double storey, ada yang single storey and apartment jugak..The house that I am staying right now is a double storey house..It depends on berapa banyak bilik dalam rumah tu to determine berapa ramai orang yang tinggal in each house..For instance in my house ada dua bilik so I ada sorang jer la housemate..Just for you to know that we, expats are not allowed to bring our family here except local guy..But I've been told that before the kidnapping thinggy happened boleh jer nak bawak family then after that incident happened, no more family..my company ni macam paranoid dah dengan incident kidnap tu..come to think again ada positive side of it jugak..Just imagine one of the kids got kidnapped on the way to school...sengsara wooo...I can't imagine if Emir got kinnaped..menangis tak berlagu jawab nya..

The house which I am staying now is fully furnished..Complete la as a house in terms of basic furniture like sofa, meja makan, TV, bed, closet etc..tinggal bawak baju jer..Part of the house yang paling I suka sekali is the kitchen!! Kitchen in my house pon not too big nor too small..macam elok-elok jer..I pon tak suka sangat dapur besar-besar..If I knew I can cook here, I dah bawak dah segala bahan-bahan nya..Next trip memang luggage I akan penuh dengan segala rempah ratus..My housemate pulak seorang yang suka masak..memang kena sangat la..Ooo speaking of my housemate, she was also based in Libya before she got transfer to Nigeria..So memang dah kenal lama and memang dia boleh in dengan I..very nice lady and she's from China..

In front of my house..double storey house..

Jiran tetangge di sekitar rumah I..Jiran sebelah rumah adalah manager saya...Cool gile rase berjiran dengan big boss..hehehe

Name of the street which my house is located...Arere ni I pon tak tau maksud dia apa but I know it is a word from one of 100++ native languages in Nigeria..

Living Hall inside the house..Everyday layan E! Channel kat sini..Movie pon best-best jugak.

.

Tempat mencari ilham sambil layan scenery dekat luar..from the back of my house boleh nampak court tennis..Selalu menjenguk kalau-kalau coach tennis dah sampai ke belum..

One of the house yang ada dalam camp..yang ni single storey house..besar sikit from my house..

Condition jalan dalam camp..

Bila dah jauh-jauh dengan suami dan anak ni memang bil telefon every month naik la kan...dah berapa kali m*axis send sms nak remind I my bill dah approach the limit..tapi I saja lambat-lambat-lambatkan bayar..bukan sebab tak cukup duit nak bayar just rasa geram sebab last time I faced a hard time to deal with them..Eh dah melalut-lalut dah ni...sebenar nya nak cakap yang in my house ada fixed line yang I boleh guna untuk call international at anytime without any limit..best kan...memang tiap-tiap hari I never failed to call my husband and my family...

Antara aktiviti lapang yang I involve lepas balik from base is playing tennis..Kenapa tiba-tiba tennis??? Kenapa tak main badminton ke? Volley ball ker?? Before datang sini I memang tak reti langsung nak main tennis tapi minat ni muncul after I saw one of my colleague main tennis..Rasa teruja sangat nak try it out..Then I pon register la untuk tennis lesson..I bayar coach tu around USD200 untuk 16 lessons..It is more less USD12 per each session..Every session coach akan spend 1 hour but sometimes more than one hour pon..I tak tau la mahal or murah but I think it is quite reasonable sebab coach ni ajar one to one not in a group..so i think it more exclusive and I pon lebih concentrate..So far I dah settle 5 lessons and Alhamdulillah I dah boleh master one or two techniques..Semalam baru belajar serve bola dengan technique yang betul..It looks easy but when I did it myself it's not like what I expected..memang kena betul technique baru rasa best serve bola..Nanti I cerita more detail about tennis lesson I..

Coach Imeh..My Tennis Coach..

Playground..Emir mesti suka kalau datang kat sini...Kids tak ramai dekat sini..In fact I jarang nampak dieorang main dekat sini..lagi pon tak ramai local staff yang duduk dalam camp..

Okaylah...so far ini jer yang I boleh share dengan you all..nanti I update lagi about my life in Nigeria..
