We were at Julia's wedding dinner in KL Hilton last night. Someone commented that I've been lazy with my blogging, as in I don't update as much as I normally do in the past. Have I? Oh well, I guess I have been a tad lazy, so if you're still interested to read more about my very boring updates, please read on...  

On Saturday morning, I was poked and prodded by this very annoying human boy at an ungodly hour of 8.50am with quick pecks on both of my cheeks and melodic soft whispers of, "Wake up, wake up". I opened my eyes, squinting, to find the love of my life, starring cheekily back at me with a huge smile plastered across his face. His facial expressions told me that he was mighty proud with the fact that he got me woken up at 8.50am knowing very well that I DO NOT wake up before 10.30am on Saturdays, unless I absolutely have to. Thinking it could be way past 11am, still, I had to ask him. "What time?" That smile on his face curved much higher as if he's been expecting me to pop that question, just so that he could indulge in his sick thrill of replying back with a *chirpy* .... "8.50am!" I GLARED AT HIM. He ignored The Glare and continuing with that annoying *chirpy* voice of his, he went, "I woke up at 8am!" His eyes round, staring straight into mine, blinking and blinking. And more blinkings. If he was trying to get my blood pressure to shoot up at that moment, he was really doing a fantastic job at it.

So, the point of that rambling was to let you know that I got woken up at 8.50am on that Saturday morning. And not so pleased about it. BUT, much to my delight, we went for a banana leaf brunch at Paandi's, TTDI with the gang later on. Needless to say, we were the first to arrive. I ordered my usual Mango Lassi but was told they ran out of it. So, I gave Plain Lassi a try and gawd I love it! Even much better than the mango version, I reckon! I'll be ordering that now onwards

There were 7 of us and after stuffing ourselves with ayam goreng, tenggiri goreng, PERIA GORENG, dhal (lots of it!), miscellaneous vegetables and loads of rice, the bf and I made a move as we needed to move on to the next agenda - Shopping.

Arrived at KLCC to find that there were so many empty parking spots, which was rather odd for a Saturday afternoon. After the elections and people just don't shop as much now? Possible. Anyways, made my way to Isetan while the bf went elsewhere to check on something. Bought a dark grey work skirt with a measly 10% discount. I didn't care coz it's not everyday you chance upon a slim-fitting dark grey skirt with the best cut and perfect length  With so many wedding invitations in tow, a girl can never have too many dresses  Especially when in each wedding, you have the same group of friends attending and it just ain't right to be wearing / recycling the same dresses all over again, right? Right???!!

Right. So, I found a Melinda Looi dress which the cutting was so fantastic I bought it in a size S. Fitted me like a glove! And best of all, it was on 50% discount. What a steal! Extremely pleased. Even the bf said it was nice. Usually when he replies, "Don't know" it most probably means - it's ugly. So, this time, he actually said, "Nice." With a smile thrown in. So, either he was in a weirdly fantastic mood - just saying it to shut me up OR he could be sincere. I guess I will never know  

We then went over to the make-up counters. I have been eyeing this for quite some time. The latest eye concealer by Lancome - Effacernes Longue Tenue.

I have dark eye circles, not too extreme but dark eye circles are like every woman's nightmare. I am currently using Clinique's All About Eyes but I find it a little too dry for my undereyes. For example, when I smile, I can see a few fine lines underneath my eyes, so with Clinique's dryness, it actually accentuates them even more. So I decided to switch and waited for this to hit KL.

Retailing at RM115 for 15ml, this tube promises (as written in Lancome's site):

EFFACERNES blurs fine lines and reduces shadows around the eyes instantly for smooth, even results that truly last. Its soft, fine texture uses a light-diffusing technology to soften facial lines and brighten dull, tired-looking skin. Enriched with cornflower and camomile, it gives your skin an instant feeling of well-being.

I'm using it for the first time today and yes, it works for me. I have my little vain 18cm X 18cm mirror with me all the time on my work desk and I use it to occasionally check on my undereyes and truly, Effacernes is truly smooth on the skin and hydrating. No dryness at all! Effacernes comes in 4 shades and I am currently using Beige Rose. This little tube comes in 15ml and retails at RM115. If you're planning to get one and find it hard to pronounce its name, just do what I did, ask for the latest eye concealer from any Lancome counters.  Remember to swipe some loose powder beneath the eyes after the concealer to avoid creases.

Had to blog about that coz I'm one happy girl when something I splurged on works for me. Hate those moments when I splurged on mascaras one after another only to find that they don't work so well for me. Currently at Hypnose, Lancome much recommended by Miss PF. So far so good. Still, would like to try Flextencils, Lancome next for the extra lengthening formula.

Sunday, was the wedding at KL Hilton, and it was good seeing familiar faces there again. There are some pictures but I've not extracted them out from the camera yet. Will post up when done.

Ok, just realised I have typed so much crap. But thanks for reading anyhow. Can't wait for some gym classes later! I need to sweat! Usually I workout 3 times a week namely - Mon, Tues/Wed and Thurs. So, from Fri - Sun, there are zero sports for me and that makes me feel gemuk. So, looking forward to Bodypump at 6pm and RPM at 7.30pm later! I only do these much sports on Mondays coz the bf plays futsal and is only done at 9pm. So, I'm no gym-holic ok!  

Please don't rain. I have clothes hung out to dry at home. Best time to rain today - 11pm please. Coz it's nice to sleep in to the sounds of rain going pitter-patter pitter-patter on the window panes. Hee!
