My contact lens routine

My laci for contact lens.

My fav and everyday contact lens that I've been wearing for almost two years is Alcon Air Optix Aqua, review here!

Tips for the first timer:

• Jangan pandai pandai beli contact lens online, please go direct to any optical store, the optometrist can suggest you the contact lens that suits you.
• It's normal kalau tak pandai pakai mula mula. I took around 45mins untuk pakai sebelah mata.
• Jangan giveup. I almost gave up masa first time, lepastu cakap dalam hati "I can do this!" sebab susah gilaaaaa nak pakai, amenda entah yang susah sangat

Anyways, my normal contact lens routine:

• I'll buy 4 boxes, satu box contains three lens so 4 boxes ada 12 pieces, boleh pakai for 6 months. Normally bila beli banyak, nanti boleh dapat harga solution dia murah sikit :p #jimat
• Bila nak pakai for the first time, pakai je macam biasa.
• At the end of the day, basuh tangan and make sure tangan bersih, remove the lens and rinse with Opticare Saline Solution. This one untuk rinse je lepas pakai and sebelum pakai, tak boleh guna untuk store the lens.

*gambar google sebab dah buang botol dia

Mini review: Quite leceh having two solutions. And this one, cap dia selalu hilang, botol dia besar and berat, susah bawak travel. Andddd, tak semua kedai jual.

• And then to store the lens, I normally use Alcon Opti-Free Replenish. 

*gambar google sebab dah buang jugak

But since this one dah habis, haritu beli randomly je Bausch + Lomb re-nu ni from Watsons ke Guardian, entah lupa

Mini review: It's good and doesn't irritates my eyes. Cukup lah tu.

So right now, pakai re-nu je to rinse and store my lens.

• Lepas dah rinse, dah letak lens dalam bekas dia, tutup rapat rapat, simpan. Esok pakai semula.

• And please discard your lens lepas sebulan. So normally I'll replace my lens every awal bulan so that ingat la bila tarikh last pakai. Kalau pakai lebih dari sebulan, nanti risau mata kena infection kang.
• For contact lens case, make sure basuh everyday and keringkan!

Some tips:

• Wear contact lens BEFORE applying your makeup (kalau pakai makeup). I normally wear it right after mandi.
• You CAN'T share your contact lens.
• You can wear your lens during shower but be extremely careful. Pernah la pakai sekali dua masa mandi sebab lupa nak remove but better jangan.
• Remove lens before swimming / any water activities. But I normally tak remove pun lagi lagi pergi holiday, main pantai etc, kalau tak pakai lens nanti tak nampak pulak. But must be extremely careful. Better jangan, nanti menyesal!

Hopefully this post can benefit you guys. Thanks!

Alcon Air Optix Aqua Contact Lens Review

Product name: Alcon Air Optix Aqua

This one is not the coloured ones just the normal clear ones, and boleh guna sebulan. Contains three pieces in each box. Why three? Sebab kalau satu hilang, at least ada backup (katanya).

But for me, since mata dua dua belah tak sama power, beli dua kotak lain lain power, boleh tahan untuk tiga bulan. Normally I'll buy 4 boxes, lagi murah and usually memang ada offer.

What it claims?

• They are created through extensive research using one of the top technologies, known as the Ultra-Smooth Surface Technology. They create a thin protective layer of moisture over the eye, reflecting and repelling anything that tries to come in contact with the eyes, such as grit, dirt, dust etc. This is why AIR OPTIX contacts feel comfortable and soft throughout the day, instead of getting dry and irritating. - True! I feel very comfortable using it the whole day. Dari pagi sampai malam, no problem. Tak pernah pedih mata and no need eye drops.
• Apart from the Ultra-Smooth Surface Technology, the AIR OPTIX contact lenses are created with advanced Breathability. They are created with a material that allows 5 times the normal amount of oxygen to reach the eyes, keeping them irritation free and provides anti-redness effect, ensuring comfortable wear throughout the day. -True, mata tak pernah merah pakai this contact lens
• AIR OPTIX aqua is created using silicone hydrogel that makes wearing contact lenses exceptionally comfortable for day long wear. They are created with advanced wear technology to allow them to be worn continuously for 6 nights and 7 days, without having to be replaced or removed even at night. They take the contact lens experience to the next level, as you only have to remove them once a week for cleaning before placing them back in again. - Oh no, tak pernah try lagi tidur dengan this contact lens, tak berani. Tapi selalu je tidur masa lunch hours bulan puasa, tidur around 1 hour ++ and bila bangun, tak kering pun mata, rasa normal je.
• These lenses feel so natural that many people actually forget that they are wearing them until it is time to remove and clean them. This is due to the fact that they are created using the TriComfort technology which ensures that the wearers never face the three most commonly experienced issues with contact lenses. - True. I've tried other brands, sometimes rasa macam ada benda dalam mata. This one, tak rasa langsung.

What I love about it?

• Comfortable!
• Boleh pakai sepanjang hari and tak risau mata kering. I once wear other brand, pakai more than 8 hours memang pedih and melekat dekat mata, susah sangat nak remove!
• I can wear it every day!

Price & where to buy?

Normally around RM65++ for one box, and the cheapest I found is RM190 for 4 boxes. You can get them at any optical store!

I got mine at The Mines, tapi lupa dah nama kedai tu hahaha kena rajin compare harga and kalau nak senang, cari kedai yang memang dah ada ready stock!

[Review] LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Product name: LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Packaging: Small glass pot

Size: 25g

What it claims:

• Exfoliate and soften the lips - True!

How to use:

• Wet your lips with water
• Scoop out the scrub and rub it all over your lips
• Rinse it off
• Wear your fav lip balm afterwards! 

What I love about it:

• The smell is so so so nice I feel like eating it. So delicious!
• The pink colour. LOVE.
• The result after using this scrub. My lips are no longer dry.
• Smoothen my lips
• The scrub is gonna last long sebab pakai sikit je so boleh tahan lama

What I don't love about it:

• The fact that I need to scoop the product with my finger and sometimes tumpah tumpah, membazir pulak rasa.
• It's hard too remove the product, kena basuh banyak kali untuk hilangkan melekit
• A bit messy and sticky

Overall thought:

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT AND I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS!

[Review] Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

Product name: LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask

Packaging: Blue plastic jar. Spatula is also provided inside the box.

Size: 70ml

Texture & scent:

Light-gel. Very smooth and the smell is so nice, it really helps nak tidur. Not sticky at all and absorbs well. 

What it claims:

Overnight moisture mask  that hydrates throught the night for clean and glowing skin in the morning. - Which is true!

How to use:

Scoop out the product using the spatula and apply all over your face before going to sleep. I normally apply a thicker layer on my nose and tepi bibir because that area tends to dry more. Then tidur, pagi esok baru basuh. 

But I normally use baskin robin's spoon sebab puas sikit boleh korek lagi banyak instead of the spatula they provided hahaha #tamak

My thoughts:

I love how my skin feels bila bangun pagi. So hydrated and fresh! Totally reduce the dryness of my skin. Kulit pun rasa lembut rasa taknak cuci muka je. It also absorbs and doesn't sit on your skin so bila pakai sebelum tidur, dia akan absorb and takdelah bila guling guling, kena bantal semua kan. I really hope I'm rajin to use this every night! Totally worth buying and I'm so gonna stick to this mask, taknak tukar lain dah.

Price & where to buy:

I got mine from Sephora, RM115. You can also get them online from Althea or Hermo for a much cheaper price (kalau yakin dia original) but for me, I prefer buying from Laneige store or counter. 

My next wishlist is the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask! :P

Convocation day!

Alhamdulillah, after 3 semesters of foundation and 9 semesters of degree, I finally graduated with Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics-Computer Information Engineering)

It was quite a journey. Habiskan foundation dalam masa setahun setengah because of course, UIA kan kena belajar Arab and English. Unless memang power Arab & English, boleh lah buat foundation setahun. Yang average average je, tiga semester baru habis haha.

We did a preconvo photoshoot! Sebab I know my husband during second semester of my degree so banyak kenangan dekat UIA so why not photoshoot dekat UIA jugak he he he

This green engineering jacket. At first masuk UIA, I thought siapalah pakai jacket ni, rupanya student engineering kena pakai k jacket ni time masuk lab/workshop. And memang wajib pakai masa subject first year, Workshop Engineering (which I hated the most sebab panas gila dalam workshop). 

Pictures during the convocation day.

My whole family. My backbone. They all came to my graduation day!

My husband, my parents, and my parents in law, who trusted us to kahwin time belajar :p

With my husband and my sister in law. Tiga tiga boleh convo satu session, senang semua sekali gus.

Post convo.

This one is at Taman Saujana Hijau Putrajaya. Macam tempat wajib buat photoshoot je. Sebenarnya teman kakak ipar but alang alang dah sampai, why not. Tapi panas gilaaaaa, sabar je lah.

Anddd, one of the funniest thing, I did an instagram post on kahwin time belajar sempena our convocation which is just for fun lah caption dia (obviously) hahaha and Oh Bulan posted on their website.....

After this, master and PhD maybe? Hahaha #KalauRajin

[REVIEW]: Skin Food Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Toner

Lately I've been into korean skin care products because hello, sekarang kan trend K-Beauty and it's easy to get the products with affordable price so why not?

Product name: Skin Food Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Toner

A toner basically is an important product for the skincare routine. Normally used after cleansing your face.The function is remove any impurities and dirts, shrinking your pores and balancing your skin's PH level. Before this, I normally use ice rub method to reduce my pores and refreshing my face. Sapu sapu ice kat muka, k siap! Tak payah pakai toner :p

What it claims:

• Hydrating and Intense Moisturizing
• Provides moisture to your skin instantly
• Leaving your skin moist and clean
• Contains water-riched lettuce and cucumber extract with 99% water

Packaging: Hard plastic. At first I thought it's a glass. The cap really secures the product so it won't spill. However, I have a bit of a problem to dispense the product. Sometimes dia taknak keluar, kena shake kuat kuat sikit baru nak keluar. 180ml.

Texture & scent:
It's not that watery, thicker consistency than water. The smell is very fresh and nice. I love it!

How to use:
After cleansing your face, pour a bit of this toner on your cotton pad and pat gently on your face to absorb it.

My thought & review:
Contains parfum and fragrance which stings my skin a bit, but I still can ignore it. Suitable for my dry skin since it really moisturize my skin and my redness almost gone. Before using this toner, the redness on my face lagi lagi dekat the nose area is quite obvious but right now, dah makin berkurang. Absorbs ready quick into my skin and doesn't feel sticky. Minimizes my pores. Feels fresh after using it.

Totally gonna repurchase!

Price & where to buy:
I bought it for RM33 at Althea website. You can also get them at Skin Food's physical store kalau rajin. Click here!



*Not a sponsored post, just my honest review

Althea Haul!

My first time purchase from Althea! Selama ni tengok tengok but I prefer to buy at physical store sebab takde alamat tetap, nanti entah kemana parcel pergi, malas nak pi collect dekat post office, malas nak tunggu, lagi suka belek belek ha macam macam la alasan malas beli online.

And, dulu Althea takde debit card payment method, they only have paypal and credit card, lagi la malas nak beli from Althea. Now dah boleh bayar pakai debit card!

What it claims. Althea is direct from Korean and it's 100% authentic.

What I bought:

1. Skin Food Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Toner for RM33. (Review soon!)

2. Skin Food Brightening Eye Cream (for the dark circles...) for RM55

3. Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel for RM14/each! Review here!

Placed order: 26th Oct 2016 (Wednesday)

Shipping: 31st Oct 2016 (Monday)

Arrived: 3rd Nov 2016 (Thursday)

Took 8 days to arrive. Okay lah sebab it's direct from Korea kan. I bought these masa ada offer, RM99 free shipping (Normally RM150 above baru free shipping).

The price is affordable, cheaper from the physical store, and the packaging is so cute, totally gonna buy from Althea again!

*Bought using my own money, not a paid review!

LAZADA Malaysia Haul (Baby's Stuff)

I never ordered anything from Lazada by myself, so I decided to order some baby's stuff! Because it's so cute and hard to resist!

What I bought: 

- 6 pieces washcloth for RM 16.72

- 3 pieces muslin cotton swaddles for RM 59.60

- Grooming kit for only RM 27.60 (omg so cheap!)

Semua barang sampai sebelum expected arrival date. Seminggu je dah sampai. So fast!

Washcloth. Buat as sapu tangan ke lap apa apa ke. It's soft and I loooove the colours. So cute. Ada satu lagi warna biru tapi Marwan dah ambil yang tu haha

Muslin swaddles. Nak buat bedung baby tapi it's a bit small, only 70cm x 70cm. Time beli tu lupa nak tengok size, gelojoh sangat. Boleh la buat selimut ke alas ke

THIS. IS. THE. CUTEST. I. CANT. RESIST. Im not even sure whether its good or not, tapi thermometer tu macam tak function sangat je hahaha but thats okay sebab its to cheap, dapat tengok and pegang pun dah happy. Macam mainan je.

I am so happy with the shopping experience from Lazada, rasa nak beli banyak banyak lagi barang baby :P

MGTT (Ujian Air Gula)

During my 29th week of pregnancy checkup, my doctor suruh buat MGTT untuk make sure ibu mengandung takde GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus), which is kencing manis semasa mengandung. The reason, sebab berat badan naik banyak hahaha kfine

So I booked my session dekat klinik dekat dengan rumah je sebab senang and weekend. Kena puasa start pukul 10 malam and esoknya pukul 8 pagi pergi klinik, doctor ambil darah dekat lengan *nangis*

Lepastu nurse bagi minum air gula, which I read sangat tak sedap, nak termuntah lah etc etc, tapi bila minum, okay je? Taklah manis sangat nak muntah.

Kena minum satu gelas air gula yang pekat.

Then, kena tunggu dua jam. Sementara dua jam tu, Marwan beli breakfast kuih keria omg dah lah teringin pastu dia saja je makan sensorang kfine takpe

Balik rumah kejap, dah lah perut kosong, lepastu mula lah pening nak muntah. Poyo sangat tadi minum air gula konon macam takde apa apa kan.

Lepas dua jam, pergi klinik balik untuk ambil darah kali kedua. Tangan belah kiri pulak. *nangis second time*

Kena tunggu dua hari untuk dapat result.

Result:

Bacaan normal sebelum minum air gula: < 5.8 mmol/L

My result: 3.7 mmol/L

Bacaan normal lepas dua jam: <6.8 mmol/L

My result: 3.8 mmol/L

*bacaan normal ni based on apa yang my doctor nak

Conclusion: Lulus dengan jayanya so tak payah diet and jaga makan! Yay!

Cost: RM50

3D/4D/5D HD baby scan

As an excited mum (obviously), I was so excited to have 3D scan sebab nak tengok muka baby. So masa 28 weeks, I booked my session at Klinik Dr Nurul, located at Cheras. The facebook page, here.

First time datang, klinik selesa plus wangi! And tak ramai orang sebab kena book dulu before datang.

While waiting for my turn.

3D scan: Gambar baby in 3D

4D scan: Video

5D/HD scan: Gambar & video baby in HD (omg!)

Price: RM89 including CD. Printing tak provided, kalau nak, pandai pandai print sendiri ok. Tapi ni harga promotion. Normal price RM199. Kena selalu check Facebook diorang and terus book bila ada offer.

Unfortunately masa ni, the baby tidur meniarap and taknak bangun. Even the sonographer dah puas kejut, gegarkan perut kemain, dia still tidur taknak bangun. Just like her dad. Fine baby fine. So, sebab tak dapat nak tengok baby, it's free of charge.

The next time datang (gigih taknak giveup tau tengok baby), during the 31st week. Nurse pesan suruh makan ice cream dulu so that baby tak tidur.

This time sonographer lain pulak. Baik je. Bilik scan pun best. Ada TV besar untuk tengok scan baby tu and sofa for the dad untuk duduk lepak macam lepak tengok TV pulak.

But this time, baby dah besar, muka dia dekat sangat dengan uri. Position dah cantik dah menghadap ke atas. Kemain cium cium uri taknak lepas. Susah nak nampak muka, and tangan dia pun tutup muka.

This is the best 3D image. Hi baby <3

Nampak hidung dengan mulut je. Since kali ni pun fail jugak, tak nampak full muka baby, so free of charge jugak.

It's okay baby, asalkan sihat. We'll see lepasni nak repeat lagi scan ke tak (still gigih!)

P/s: 2D detailed scan pun ada, more to tengok organ dalaman baby such as jantung, paru paru, usus, tulang, kaki, tangan, jari cukup ke tak, almost everything. Tapi boleh buat masa baby around 18-24 weeks. Masa tahu wujudnya detailed scan ni, baby dah besar so tak sempat nak buat. Noob betul baru tahu....
