Saturday Evening with Yves Rocher

Hello! How’s your weekend? This weekend I’ve chose to pamper myself. Other than sleep… I and my friend, Salmi, went for make over.

thethicktalk0824

Kebetulan Yves Rocher Alamanda ada promotion untuk produk terbaru, Hydra Vegetal.

thethicktalk0832

Cuaca sekarang kan sangat panas masa tengah hari. Walaupun dah minum air more than 1.5L sehari, kulit tetap rasa kering. Seharian keje dalam sejuk air-cond pun boleh mengeringkan kulit. So we do really need a product to hydrate our skin from the outside too.

We starts our session by analyzing our skin.

thethicktalk0825

Miss Nina’s my assistant through out the day and every time I went there. She’s very friendly, and helpful. She helps me to check my skin’s hydration. The result’s not so good… 33%. It indicates I have a dry skin. Well, I already know that since I keep on feel thirsty all the time.

I’ve gone through the following steps;

thethicktalk0827

I love the feeling. Very cool. Not as cool as mint but I feel like I‘m applying wet tissue on my face every single minute. Very refreshing!! I even feel like to apply it to all over my body!

When we have finished, here’s the result…

thethicktalk0828

58%. Any result is good as long as it is above 50%.

thethicktalk0829

Thanks nina!

Lets move to make over…

thethicktalk0830

Impressive. SO many equipment!

Well, there are two makeup artists. Mine wasn’t really friendly Sad smile boooooo

She feels unease when I keep on asking what product/item that she applied to my face. Of course I want to know every single thing that you’ve applied to my face… at least it can increase the potential for me to buy Yves Rocher’s makeup products. Don’t you get it miss?

What I can recall during the session’s;

She starts with eye’s area – eyelid’s sticker (makes your eyes bigger), foundation, eye based, light pink eyeshadow (based), brown eyeshadow (shading), eyeliner.

Then baru masuk bahagian seluruh muka.

Foundation – loose powder – pink blusher – eyebrow shadow (chocolate) – mascara – bulu mata palsu (optional).

Alahhhh, very basic lah. Bukan macam artis nak naik pentas.

And here’s the result.

thethicktalk0831

Mari kita pergi ke sesi photoshoot…

thethicktalk0833

One of the shoots. Pandai cik salmi kita berposing.

thethicktalk0834

I meet these school kids… teenagers pun pakai this product. Well, it is botanical product.

-------

Actually October is my birthday month. So apa yang menariknya bila menjadi ahli Yves Rocher? Buy one FREE one item!!!

thethicktalk0835

I have decided to get their perfume. FYI Yves Rocher adalah perfume number 1 di France. Spray sikit je dah cukup.

thethicktalk0836

Untuk product Hydra Vegetal, I’ve got their Gel Crème (RM59.00), FREE toner, and LUCKY DRAW Gel Crème too! And the remaining two down there are coconut bath cube, and bath net… FREE GIFT!

Alright… I hope ramai yang akan jadi penggguna Yves Rocher sekarang ni. Worth it for money.

And this is the picture from the photoshoot.

thethicktalk0837

Black and white polkadot – Classic

A few tips to share here are – for this kind of promotion;

  • We have to control ourselves
  • Know our nawaitu (intention) to go there
  • Know the types of promotion – requires to buy with a minimum purchase or not
  • What are the activities included in that package
  • Try to avoid additional charges; Fake eyelashes (RM15), whole softcopy picture; 1cd (RM100), Laminate (RM10) --- these are ridiculous things that you should minimize your expenditure – you don’t even need it. Usually these are done by the ‘outsource’… not by the brand itself – Rational!

Sembilan Sembilan Sembilan

I am now watching 999 di tv3. Rancangan terbitan primeworks ni kadang-kadang bagus, dan kadang2 menyakitkan hati.

Pada awal episod, mereka menceritakan tentang seorang pemandu teksi yang ditemui mati di kawanan tanah perkuburan dipercayai dirompak – perompak pun, rompak orang awam bukannya banyak korg leh ambil compare to nyawa orang yang korang rompak tu.. NYAWA!

Then, masuk citer pasal immigresen buat serbuan ke gerai-gerai makan yang diusahakan oleh pendatang asing. Kalau kita tengok, memang ramai pengusaha gerai/warung makanan kat tepi jalan ni diusahakan oleh orang asing… atau pengusaha tempatan mengambil pekerja asing sebagai pembantu – tanpa permit. Biasalah, serbuan dibuat. Itu kerja dorg. Apa yang menarik perhatian adalah cara tindakan dorg.

Buat rush terhadap kedai yang diusahakan oleh warga asing – ada customer warga asing jugak – customer tengah tunggu makanan -customer kene tahan sekali – dipaksa duduk mencangkung sambil pegang kerusi yg dia duduk tadi.

Korang dapat gambarkan tak apa yg berlaku? Orang yang tengah lapar, nak makan, tengok2 kene tahan sekali. Dah la tak dpt makan. Mungkin tu la time yang baru dia sempat nak makan untuk hari tu. Tugas adalah tugas, tapi budi bicara, orang nak makan… nak makan weh! Tahan la lepas dorg makan. Untuk lelain, shopping ke, rehat ke… tahan la dorg. Tapi hal makan minum, biar la dorg makan dulu. Sedih sangat tengok.

Isu yang pembantu warga asing pulak.. I understand government nak control dari segi penyakit dan kebersihan. Tetapi, mereka berniaga di gerai – uol sendiri tau kan gerai mcm mana. Tak semua bersih, sumber air yang tak menentu. But yet, yang tu la pilihan ramai pekerja2 gov. and swasta. Lagi satu, bukan senang nak cari pekerja tempatan untuk kerja di warung. Sangat susah. Walaupun banyak yang jobless, they prefer to be jobless rather than working in warung tepi jalan. Sebab kerja gerai makan ni letih. Warga asing ni la yang nak bekerja teruk and committed untuk dtg kerja hari-hari tanpa alasan demam la, makcik kawin nak cuti la.

Dear Government, please bantu provide tenaga kerja tempatan untuk peniaga-peniaga warung/kedai makan tempatan. Bukan peniaga tak nak apply permit utk pekerja warga asing, tetapi sangat mahal. Beribu-ribu untuk sorang pekerja. They hired illegal workers sebab susah nak dapat pekerja asing. Will you? Smile

Tips Memilih Insurance Terbaik

Insurance agent – sometimes can be the most irritating person – hate that.

Ok.. ketepikan insurance agent.

I want to focus on insurance itself.

Insurance is important to be used pasa masa-masa yang tertentu/genting yang berkaitan dengan kesihatan; hospitality, disease. Nak harapkan duit simpanan, boleh. But cukup ke untuk rawatan susulan? bil-bil hospital? rawatan pakar? this is the purpose untuk subscribe insurance. TO help us masa sakit.

Due to that, we should save some portions from our income to pay our insurance policy. What types of policies are available out there? Which types of policy you’ve subscribed? Until when?

Life/Death? Medical/hospitality? Critical disease? Personal Accident?

Less we pay, less coverage. We have to find something in the middle and we can afford!

That is the key. The monthly contribution should be not too much until we cannot afford to eat, and not too less until we cannot claim anything except death – sad!

I have made some readings and observations regarding insurance. The concept is really clear. To help the person when they are in trouble (based on the coverage).

Most of Malays did not trust an insurance company. Why? Because they saw many people (friends/family) dah jadi mangsa insurance agent – look the word here, AGENT.

Here are some tips before you subscribe for an insurance policy:

  1. Make sure you are dealing with an authorized agent from a well established insurance company (not subagent).
  2. Make sure the coverage (note the amount) are as follows; death, 36 critical disease, medical (very important), saving investment (return), maximum age.
  3. Jangan pilih agent yang sangat2 mendesak. Pilih ikut gerak hati korang - selesa.

Coverage

This is the most sad part. I have meet a few of my friends. Some of them declared themselves as an insurance subscriber.

Case 1: “I just pay RM56 per month” – X. When I take a look at the policy, coverage: death and permanent disability only. To further more, if something happen to X except death, and lost ability (pair), he CANNOT claim anything at all.

Case 2: “I have 2 policies; medical and saving” – Y. What will happen to his medical policy’s contribution? You give me the answer.

Boleh nampak tak? Banyak customer di playing around by these irresponsible insurance agents.

Sebab tu you have to ensure the coverage before you subscribe an insurance policy.

Bukan salah pengguna kalau tak tahu apa2 mengenai insurance sebab they haven’t been explained well/clearly by their agent.

Honestly I feel very sad tengok banyak orang Melayu kene twist dengan orang Melayu sendiri.

As an agent, you patut TOLONG orang. Bukan just nak close the deal and get your commission.

I read, I saw, banyak yang sangat2 tamak.

You chose to be an insurance agent. You really want that job because of the job environment and responsibility, or you just want that job because of the commission? It is fine for you to get the commission if you’ve done your job very well. Tapi kalau you explain tak clear, you keep on saying “boleh boleh boleh” for everything termasuk yg tak boleh, you rasa dah wat keje yg betul?

I am not getting emotional here. But I am very sick with some of the agents yang macam buaya. Cari mangsa untuk close the deal and left them lepas dapat commission. Because of these kind of people lah yang buat banyak orang benci agent insurance.

Ada banyak pilihan; insurance issued from bank, Prudential BSN, Etiqa, Great Eastern, ING, MNI… banyak lah!

For me personally and based on my experience, I prefer and already subscribed to Great Eastern Takaful. I chose it because of the product, and the agent.

To all readers, buat la pilihan yang terbaik untuk insurance. Subscribe seawal mungkin sebab mana2 insurance tak akan cover untuk penyakit sedia ada.

Thermos Mug for Me and My Brother

I don’t know why I become a Starbucks-maniac recently. Their coffee does really works on me – hyperactive.

Back to the topic – thermos.

Last month I did get myself a thermos mug from Parkson. Alaaa tak nak la mahal2 yang sampai beratus2 and dalam kaca. Yang tu memang la panas. Hot drinks macam green tea and coffee are my favorites. Lepas 3 minggu pakai thermos tu… cap (penutup) plastik tu dah bengkok. – frustrated! 3 weeks! masak la nak beli for every month kan.

Masuk je gaji, I have decided to get a starbucks’ thermos for myself, and the other one for my brother – dia pernah cakap he wants thermos from Starbucks – tak nak from parkson. “demand!” – I replied.

B0812

Do you know that Starbucks ada card… macam touch n go card?

  • Bila register – dpt one complementary drink.
  • Bila beli thermos ni (melalui starbucks’ card – topup with minimum RM50) -  1 free drink for one thermos.
  • Discount RM2.00 for a drink if you bring your own starbucks cup/mug/thermos.

A lot more offers when you’ve registered your starbucks’ card.

KawKaw Burger Bakar

Lokasi : Lokas Makana, Puchong

B0811

Waktu mula operasi: 6.45pm

Last week adalah minggu makan sedunia. Selalu asek tengok org lain posting pasal beger bakar. Psycho jugak la sebab wondering sedap sgt ke sampai sanggup org queue panjang utk order… baru order je k. Belum dapat lg beger tu.

Semalam… hari keramat utk cuba beger bakar ni. Sebelum nekad untuk beli, we (me and my brother) did observed the place, tukang masak, pekerja… bersih ke x. Jawapannya jeng3… Bersih!

Queuing time: half an hour

Waiting time for our meal to be done: half an hour

Tired enough.

We’ve got ourselves beef-triple-cheese beger; ada tiga keping patty yg besau besau. The price is RM19.50. Worth it!

B0809

okay.. sounds so tamak. we share this burger. I only took a patty without cheese (owh kononnnya tak la rasa bersalah sangat)

Rasanya… memang sedap.

B0810

Ok… sedap is general. I’ve tried to analyze the taste. I can taste beef (of coz), sweet from onion, black pepper, ginger, and herbs. The meat tastes really juicy sweet.

Quarter pounder is my benchmark. Quarter pounder is purely meat. but this burger has additional taste – as mentioned earlier.

Berbaloi ke nak tunggu queue lama2? Sangat berbaloi.

OK.

Time to naik treadmill.
