Catching Up With Time And Soaking In The Present Moment

Hello, wow. Never been into writing my blog twice in a day. I must have miss being able to pen down my feelings lately. Internal exams has long gone and my last external paper for June would Corporate Reporting. Another 3 more in December if I pass the June paper. I might be going UK for three months to get my degree if I were to pass my internal papers in mid June. Results will be released on May 7th. Our batch is the last batch for this program as Tarc has been upgraded to TARUC status and thus they offer degrees rather than advance diplomas.

Today was my first group presentation for the UK modules which is the Management Skills for Business Decision Making. My first presentation to lecturers from other country. It was one hell of an experience. As usual I was nervous, procrastinated till this morning to memorize my script and yet it turns out not entirely awful. I think I'm getting the hang of it. Maybe I will like doing presentations after all. All those years of choral speaking did some impact on the ability in speaking in public eh.

Time flies, while I was driving past setapak area, PV 5, I saw sophomores transferring their luggage into the condominium with mattresses and etc. How time flies. Like it was yesterday that I just came over to KL for my advance diploma session. In a blink of an eye, we are graduating and leaving this place. I mean I. I get overly attached thus I used the word "we". LOL 

I stayed with my sisters about 25 minutes away from the college with normal traffic. The bond grew close- I meant me and KL. Leaving people behind. I'm not sure if I'm able to to. I know, I used to complaint how much I miss Penang. In time, bond grew no matter what. Heavy heart in leaving KL.

Taking monorails and to stare into the space/KL scenery is a tranquility. Loading superbly fast movies online using UNIFI will be deeply missed too. I miss having the freedom in a way in KL. I get to do what I want and when I want to. I would like to believe that goodbye is process of growing up too.

I'm  not sure why I get so emotional for all of the sudden. Maybe I'm listening too much into
John Legend: Ordinary People. "Maybe we should take it slow"

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

Random picture I find it connecting. #throwback

Blasting John Legend songs over and over again.


Off to sleep. Night people.

Perfumes

Hey y'all. It's been so long since I wrote something about beauty stuff. Today I've decided to talk about perfumes. I'm a fan of smelling good. I'm sure you had agree with me for being attracted to people who smells nice. :)

Let me share a daily situation. It usually happens, while I was walking around in the shopping mall and someone smells really good who passed me by. I would take a deep breath and the scent would lingered for a few seconds before it disappeared. :)

All of the products was not sponsored by any party and therefore I would not consider this as an advertorial post. This can be a good heads up for those of you shopping for gifts for your spouse. :)

I own my first perfume back in Form 4. On a trip to Bali, Indonesia. I shopped at the duty free in the airport. The experience of buying my first perfume was a big headache. There were so many choices in the market. So by the time I tried on the third perfume, I forgot how did the first one smelled like. I would recommend you to buy a perfume which suits you in a non-rushing manner. Unless you are extremely sure of how the perfume smelled on you- I wouldn't recommend you buying without trying it out. Do spray on either side of your wrist and rub both your wrists and smell it. Usually, the sales person would give you a small stripe of paper with perfume on it. If you like the smell, do try it on your wrist as different body brings out the perfume differently.

My first perfume: Flight of Fancy by Anna Sui.
It has a really light and sweet floral scent. Refreshing.
My choice because I don't like something overpowering which is more suitable for evening wear. This is suitable for all occasions.
50ml for RM185+ from duty free.

I got this for free from donating to charity. I didn't know I would have a free gift is return. Was so happy. :) I had itchy hands and thus I went and google the price of the perfume. It costs around RM160.
It has a light refreshing scent of lilies. 

This is Pivoine Flora by L'OCCITANE.
This is another floral scent, more powdery than the first two. Sweet but not overpowering.Base notes provide a fine trail of vanilla, musk and cedar.
Long wearing and more suitable for sensitive nose. RM130 for 75ml.

Funny by Moschino. I always love Moschino.
It has a playful yet tasteful scent. Citrus fruit like scent. Mild and refreshing.

This is 5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden.
More of a lady. Elegant. Jasmine? Another powdery scent.
Classic and feminine. Straighforward no edge or twist.

Miss Dior Cherie by Dior.
It was a gift to me and I happened to drop the tiny perfume bottle.:'( Love the smell so much.
Extremely feminine. More like a in love scent that you would wear. Base Note: Italian Mandarin Essence, Egyptian Jasmine Absolute, Indonesian Patchouli Essence.

Mango Temptation by Victoria Secret.
This is a fragrance mist. Definitely live up to its name- Mango.
Superbly sweet fruity scent: Mango and whole lots of sugar. Base notes: Mango nectar and hibiscus
It reminds me Dragon Fruit car scent by Ambi Pur. My fav!
Hopefully your spouse doesn't bite you.

This is Endless Love by Victoria Secret. Another fragrance mist.
Base note: Apple Blossom and Ylang Ylang.
Of all the scent, this is less preferred. I don't like it.
Ylang Ylang gives an edgy smell. Like medicine? lol

The entire household collections. lol.

This is Versus by Versace.  Smells really good.
It is fresh, playful and celebrates femininity in the same time.
Base notes:  kumquat, star apple (Chrysophyllum cainito) and lemon; a heart is composed of orange blossom, stephanotis and Centifolia rose, while a base finishes with musk, patchouli and ambrette seed.

Magnifique by Lancome.
I love this very very much but I don't own this.
I was introduced to this years ago.
Very refreshing, playful and feminine. Mild.
The fragrance features saffron, caraway, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, vetiver and cypriol oil or nagarmotha.

Now, there is no reason to smell yucky anymore. I wouldn't say it is an essential but it does brings out the confidence in my opinion. My favorite would be all except the Endless Love Fragrance Mist by Victoria Secret. I apologize if my description is almost similar because, we (me & my sisters) do hunt for mild fragrances. None of the above smells the same at all! (if you're wondering-LOL)



Please do visit the shops and try it on before you decide to buy one. It lasts really long though its only 50ml.
Now to write this blog post, I am covered in six perfumes. Hallelujah. Please pray hard that I will not get any flu tomorrow due to allergies to perfumes. HAHAHA.

I hope you will get some useful insights from this blogpost.  You don't have to look like celebrities on the red carpet to feel confident but smelling good is a great start. No more smelling yucky okay?  :P

With love,
