蠟燭人生

孩子就像個小小探險家，天不怕地不怕的到處探險，尋找新奇的玩意兒。

孩子們漸漸地長大，不知不覺地走進了未知的洞穴裡，因為看不見前面黑暗的道路而感到迷失、害怕。

而我們的人生就像這條黑暗的洞穴，你永遠不會看到前面的道路。

然而，希望就會像蠟燭上燃燒的火焰，雖然火焰又弱又小，卻能照亮你腳邊的路。

我要說的是，人生的道路上，誰都看不到前面等著你的到底是什麼，但至少你得知道你目前的狀況。

有希望，就得努力。想看到洞穴外頭的世界，就得努力的走，不斷地走，時不時會遇到一兩顆絆腳石，跌倒了再爬起來繼續走！只要堅持下去，一定能走出這片黑暗，找到你所期待的那片天空！

Random mood~

I haven't really been eating at Alibaba, a cafe/ restaurant/ mamak right outside of the car park in our Heritage condominium.. 

I feel like I have to blog but I have no idea about what.. I have been thinking of a lot of things these days but when I finally sit down properly and decide I wanna blog about something, My brain would suddenly go blank and have no idea about what to say, random things would just come popping around in my brain and I just couldn't put them in proper phrases. I guess I should just start jotting things down when they come running around in my mind~ for now I'll just let it settle~ 

Lunch, here I come!

Yes~ my lunch is at 4pm today because I woke up daaaaaaaaamn late today and yeah~ Nasi Goreng Ayam and Teh O Ice Limau!! As simple as that~ nanana~~

Tadaaaaa~~

Random coke~

I don't usually drink coke, and no, this is not mine but I saw the cute butterflies flying around on the cover I just feel like taking a picture of it. Sadly, my phone's camera has lost its focus function, so everything close up looks so damn blur and the background is just... Clear, or at least it looks ok~ meh~ >.<

Well, I've been thinking for awhile now, I wanna save money and get myself an iPhone 5, or maybe Galaxy S4, but well I guess I shall wait for the new iPhone to be released so I could compare before I jump to any conclusion of getting myself anything unnecessarily... Maybe I'll just wait till my phone die for real, then I'll get myself a new iPhone... First of all, I have to save enough money for that xD But I really really do look forward to the iOS 7!! It's really much, much better than the old one I'm using now~ lalalalala~

Review on Night Essence of EDN (Envie De Neuf)

Before I come back to KL, my mom gave me this night essence which she said would sooth the pimple at night, which I never thought I would use since I hardly has pimple problem. But this day has come! For I don't know why!!! O.O Pimples are evil... veeeeeeeery evil!! Because whenever I have them, they're just freaking PAINFUL! Zzzzzz~ Alrighty, I'm not gonna talk more and I'm just gonna upload pictures and tadaaaa~ XD

As you can see, the pimple was daaaaaaaaamn huge on the first day!! It was originally really small, I didn't think it was a big deal and thought it will go away in one night, but god knows how the hell it become bigger and bigger and it hurts whenever I touch it with my itchy hand! Well, slowly it became better as time goes by. Of course, by applying that essence.

This is not bad, I guess? As I'm sure nothing is "SUPER" or "GOD LIKE" medicine, so time is surely needed for things to get better. I have a normal skin, so I'm not sure if it suits whoever have a sensitive skin, I would suggest you to consult your skin doctor before trying on the product. :)

Good day!

Step by step simple eye shadow tutorial~

Well, I'm posting this, is not because I'm so good at doing it that I wanna post things on my own, it's only because I really suck at it so I'm posting a picture of step by step of how to draw your simple eye shadow... I'm so bad at it I would just pat one or two colours and that's it... LOL anyways I really suck at matching the colours and things!! XD I wish I could do better... maybe I just need more... practice? o.O

拉近眼距：將深色眼影呈“<”形塗在眼尾位置，大約在上、下眼瞼的中間位置自然收尾即可。

 

想要拉近眼距就一定要用深色系眼影，銀白、淺黃等顏色是起反效果的，也就是拉開眼角的作用的哦。

讓寶寶戒掉奶嘴的7條建議

 

奶嘴對於很多孩子來說，更多時候是一種安慰，他們習慣吮吸的動作，這讓他們感覺舒服和安心。但是長期使用奶嘴對於孩子的牙齒發育和牙床咬合都會產生負面的影響。因此，父母應當掌握時機和正確方法，讓寶寶告別奶嘴。

在醫學上並沒有一個明確的時間是寶寶應該戒掉奶嘴的時機，但是父母可以考慮在一歲左右，已經可以和孩子進行初步交流時，用其他東西來轉移孩子對奶嘴的依賴。最關鍵的在於，父母應該給孩子足夠的安全感和滿足感，讓他逐漸脫離對奶嘴的依戀。

以下是幾條可行的建議，爸爸媽媽們不妨試試。

1. 縮小使用範圍

你可以和孩子約定，只有在家的時候才用奶嘴，隨著他逐漸習慣，你可以進一步縮小範圍，比如只在臥室里或者每天只有某段時間可以用。這個年齡的孩子能夠很快接受新的規矩，所以你要堅持始終如一地實行。

2. 慢慢來

讓一個孩子戒掉奶嘴通常要花幾個星期的時間，但這事急不得。如果你慢慢來，你會發現一切更好掌控。通常白天比較好辦，但是晚上孩子都很難離開奶嘴，所以你可以把晚上作為最後的“攻堅項目”。先保證孩子白天不再依賴奶嘴，然後將重點放到晚上，一步一步來。

3. 分散孩子的注意力

當孩子哭著要他的奶嘴時，馬上找點別的事情來吸引他。不妨讓孩子幫你一起烤蛋糕、一起擺弄花花草草等。如果孩子專注於某件事情，那麼吮奶嘴就是多餘的了。但是，切記不要用食物來賄賂他。

4. 巧妙獎勵

給孩子製作一個表格，每次他吵著要奶嘴最後又乖乖放棄，就給他畫上一顆五角星，當五角星達到三個的時候，適當地獎勵他，比如一本漫畫書，或者去遊一次泳。孩子會很喜歡這樣的方式，也減輕他戒奶嘴的痛苦。

5. 取消奶嘴的暱稱

很多孩子會有一個對奶嘴的暱稱，比如“嘴嘴”、“吸吸”等等，你千萬不能跟著他一起使用，並且盡量不許他再說。如果奶嘴有一個屬於自己的專名，它變得人性化、寵物化，孩子會把它看做是心愛的玩具甚至朋友，無法割捨。

6. 把奶嘴作為禮物送人

在斷奶即將成功的時候讓寶寶戒掉奶嘴通常會比較有效。你可以告訴你的寶寶：“奶嘴只是給小孩子用的，可你現在已經是一個大孩子了。”如果有你認識的新生兒，那麼再好不過了，你可以和你的孩子商量把奶嘴送給小妹妹作為禮物，一般孩子會樂意這樣做，奶嘴也給了真正需要它的人。

7. 不要心軟

你會和你的孩子一樣，發現告別奶嘴是一件頭疼的事情，如果你的孩子變得沮喪或者焦躁，千萬不要自責內疚。儘管他可能真的很難受，但是隨著其他事情吸引他的注意力，這件事情會被漸漸淡忘。所以，不管他哭得多麼厲害，你都要立場堅定。要知道，半途而廢就意味著前功盡棄。

Outing with Miss Mary Ong~

So I haven't been out with this lady, whose my dearest cousin, ever since I got my feet onto this land. she's so freaking lazy to look for me because according to her, I'm staying far away from her (she lives in Kianggeh and I live in Sengkurong, Brunei.). =.= Dude! If you're living in city area like KL or Taiwan you'll know what's the definition of FAR! *Kicks your ass*

Aaaaanyway, so my whatsapp has been so freaking weird since last night till this morning, so I didn't receive Mary's message of "Eh I'm going to pick you up at 1pm!"

SO SUDDENLY, so called my mom to get to me, telling me "Eh I'm going to pick you up now" at about 12:30pm! I was like WTH? and quickly got ready while having my lunch...

Right after picking me up, we went to Bunut Hua Ho instead of having our lunch since I already had mine and Mary was bloated from eating so much snacks while catching a movie with her boyfie. After she got a birthday card for her aunt in KL, we went walking around in the shopping mall until 3pm then went to the Secret Recipe near nearby to have our afternoon tea, it was a quiet afternoon and we talked a lot until 5pm something.

Now that I recall, why didn't we take a picture of us together? Oh wells, till next time then~ XD

Had my Chocolate Indulgence, it's my favourite of all the cakes I guess, Jasmine green tea as my option of tea. Mary said the Chocolate Banana cake was the best, I guess I should give it a try next time~ :D

Mary had her Marble Cheese cake and later own she said "I wanna have something salty" and ordered the Gourmet Pie, which was really, really nice~ Love the soup! ♥ ♥ ♥

So right after we're done with everything on the table, Mary and I were so full we had to sit there for a little while more to digest, then she sent me back home since she needa go dating with her boyfie~ awwwwwwww sweeet~~ ♥

I'm really lazy to finish my blog so I'll just end it here, gotta go get Pudding's milk ready cuz you don't want her to cry in the middle of the night due to the hungriness... =.=

Alrighty people! Hope you have a good day! :D 

Outing with Liwen and Siaw Tan

Haven't really been blogging all this while and the first thing I'm gonna blog after so long is... outing with Siaw Tan and Liwen! XD

I have ran out of idea about blogging so as you can see I have been posting just informative stuff, and those are just re-posted from other blogs/ articles as reminders to my self and not really even a proper post... xD

So tonight I went out with Liwen and Siaw Tan, 2 of my dearest friends when I was still in my high school, they still are until now. First, we went to this Italian restaurant which I already forgotten the name and then to the Xinful Cafe to have our after dinner dessert, it was kinda nice... 'cept we're kinda, really full in our stomach...

These are pictures taken at the Italian Cafe and by Liwen's Lomo instant camera~ it's cuuuute I know!! XD

Pictures taken by Siaw Tan's "old-timer" camera... xD nah it's not that old, it's just... it's been reaaaaally long... :O

Well after like I-don't-know-how-long-but-it's-really-long, FINALLY, our food is here! 

Siaw Tan's Lamb Loin, it looks nice but it's too hard to bite, according to her :O
The sauce was nice, though~ :D

My Salmon Cutlet, it's okay but I have to admit I really like the sauce they gave me there! It was... Honey mustard, if I'm not mistaken.. :P

 Aaaaaaaaand, Liwen's Chicken Steak! According to her it's tooooo spicy!!! Because she ordered pepper sauce... Of course la, miss~~~~ XD

After that, we went to the cafe called the Xinful Cafe to have cakes and desserts, sounds sinful huh? Maybe that's where the name come from.. XD

 Red Velvet that Siaw Tan ordered, it's sweet, good for the sweet tooth person~ I love it at the first bite but gets sick after a few more o.O

 Liwen ordered this Black Forest, it's not as sweet as Red Velvet, the taste is just right, you won't get too sick and still love it! :D

 The................ Banana Ice cream waffle with chocolate sauce ordered by Siaw Tan and Liwen, it's nice but I guess because I already has Red velvet, so the taste wasn't really there, and we were getting reaaaaaaaaally full~! Despite all that, this dish looks really delicious though!

Lastly, we had this... I don't know how to call it in English but it's called the Cong You Bing (蔥油餅), one of my FAVOURITE Taiwanese food! It's damn damn damn damn damn niceeeeee! Man this makes me miss Taiwan sooooooooo much, FOR THE FOOD! XD

Riiiiiight, after that we were too full so we stayed and talked a little while before heading home...

Here are the bonus pictures of the night! ;)

13 things you never knew about your weight

it Really Is Genetic
People with one or two copies of the “fatso” gene (now more politely called FTO) weighed more too.
Some People Just Have More Fat Cells
Some people have twice as many fat cells as others have. Even if you’ve lost a few pounds (or gained some), your fat-cell count remains, holding tight to the fat already inside and forever thirsting to be filled up with more.
You Can Change Your Metabolism
As you gain more fat (even as little as 11 pounds), your metabolism slows down and it becomes harder to lose it.
Stress Fattens You Up
Stressful circumstances spark cravings for carbohydrate-rich snack foods, which in turn calm stress hormones. Stress hormones also ramp up fat storage. Today we take our stress sitting down – and the unused calories accumulate in our midsection.
Mom’s Pregnancy Sealed Your Fate
Sugary and fatty foods consumed even before you’re born affect the child. You can give your kids a head start by eating well before they’re born.

With more sleep patients have a greater sense of fullness, and they’ll spontaneously lose weight. Patients should get less than seven to eight hours.
Your Spouse’s Weight Matters
Weight gain and loss can be, well, contagious. Researchers concluded that obesity seems to spread through social networks.
Achoo! A Virus Can Cause Obesity

Parts of the brain that get excited with food are the same parts activated in drug addicts.

Antioxidants Are Also Anti-Fat
Avoid the junk and load up on colorful, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.
Pick a Diet, Any Diet
All diets agree to the 4 main things:
