Clinique - Even Better Clinical

So I came across this spot corrector serum by Clinique - Even Better Clinical.
I'm currently looking for a spot corrector/eraser serum as the one that I'm currently using is finishing in no time. So I have to get one before it runs out.

The one I'm using atm is the Lancome - Blanc Expert. It is quite costly for only 30ml, but I swear to God it is so worth it. Guess it was Dec 2008 when I bought mine about RM300++ for only 30ml? Not too sure exactly how much but I know I got it for like RM300++ with some traveling size toner, moisturizer, sunblock and two masks.
I know you will be thinking WTF? 2008 till now? is like 3 years! Yes! Is 3 years in total and I still haven't finish mine. I stop using it in between, for day and night. The amount that I use is really small, about a red bean size, because the part that I really focus on is only the right side of my face close to my ear where is pigmented. *my bad for not knowing that I NEED to apply sunblock when I was 13 :/ *

Ok, back to the topic. I'm actually tempted to try the Clinique's Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector, as I read on the internet and it says

"Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector which targets hyperpigmentation, is said to offer prescription strength effectiveness at evening skin tone."

I'm a Marketing person but I'm also a person whom is easily drawn away by marketing scams :/ Not saying that this is a scam, but it says that this serum is truly groundbreaking which will deliver on its promises.
I don't know whether you're the same as me, I normally have stereotype on skin care products where in my mind, I set Clinique as a more effective product if you want a clear skin; Lancome/ Kose will be for brightening/ whitening; Bioterm/ H2o is more on hydration.
So I'm not too sure will this actually deliver its promises and will be effective on my skin. Or should I go for another one which I'd planned to buy before I discovered this, which is Estee Lauder - Cyber White Spot Corrector.

Tell me if you've tried one of those, or you have better recommendation for dark sports. Thanks!

Winter Solstice

Top: Black Sesame glutinous rice ball

Bottom: Lao Sha glutinous rice ball (the one on the spoon, not really like it to be honest) & Peanut glutinous rice balls (in the bowl)

Although is different from homemade, but at least I got to eat glutinous rice ball this year and few days in a row! *screams*

The idea of eating this during winter solstice is the unity of the family.

Although I don't get to spend time with them, but they are always in my heart.

Happy Winter Solstice everyone, hope you have a lovely day :)

My subconscious mind is WRONG :/

I always tend to look / see / think of something during the day and I might dream of the thing / person / something related to what I see during the day.
Weird huh?
Maybe is not, is just my subconscious mind that do it.
BUT, it has to be something really random or something that I don't see it often.
So basically I saw a picture of my high school friend's son and I commented on it about the name and etc. Then on that night, I dreamt bout a very very weird, totally wrong and opposite to what will happen in real life dream. I didn't dream bout the son, but I dreamt of a huge brand I like, her, her husband, and my cousin who did something evil and bring my life to like the end of the world.
Oh GoD o.0
I remembered when I was in my dream, I even tell myself that I could not believe even my family member will betray me, and I will not trust others from now on! LOL! Such a weird one.
I'm not gonna share out the details of it here because is... wrong to me, which I don't want people to think that deep down in my heart I want something like that to happen which is a total NO NO! LOL!

Anyways, I just think is kinda weird to just see something related to the person, and dream of something related but totally different to what I saw during the day.

Ya, you can say I have good imagination which I kinda agree.
Day dreaming is my routine. LOL!
Believe it or not? I dream every single night without skipping any day. I have my mum's genes as she dreams every single night as well, even a 5 mins nap (poor mum, but sometimes I'm the same as well)! Is bad because when you dream, your mind is not resting. On the other hand I think is fun because you have new adventurous dream every night which you won't experience it in real life, but is scary when you have bad dreams :S 

You might think why I've been so not active here and all of the sudden I'm like having two post entries in a day. Hrmm, maybe I kinda feel guilty that I've neglected my beloved bloggie, or maybe I'm too free now and try to have at least few posts before I end this year with like so little memory, which is not true.
2011 has being a great year to me and I hope 2012 will be at least as great, or better!

Toodles =]

All I want for Christmas is peace...

Finally, I'm on my summer break holiday. I'm actually on my holiday for like a couple of weeks, is just that now I'm officially doing nothing as I don't have to work any more. :)
This is the period of time and season where I will normally look forward to, but why must it be ruin by some random people that I don't know? I just don't get the point where some people could be so busy body without realising that a simple question that pops out from their mouth, will actually lead to a tsunami in my life. :(

I'd tried to do what ever shit I can to minimise the connection with the people outside. I customised my facebook settings, delete my photos from my facebook, hide my blog from anyone before I figured out how to restrict the people that view my blog. Why? Why do I have to do all this shit which I used to think that it is a childish act but now, I'm actually seeing myself taking all those actions one by one? Why?

Question marks filled up my entire brain. Brain storming what should I say when the questions came back to me? Should I act like there's no such thing? Or should I stand at my point to tell the truth? I know I have all rights to stand out and explain, as I truly think this is the only thing that I have 100% rights to choose it myself, as I don't need any one's help in it. But I'm scare. I don't have the courage to do so. :(

Just because I'm a Chinese, family is something that we treasure and take into account on everything we do. Deep down in my heart, I love to be a Chinese. But sometimes it is so much easier to not be a Chinese.

I am racist, but I trust every race have their good and bad. Not all Chinese are good, and not all other races that are bad. Why must those baby boomers restrict themselves, think narrowly in terms of relationship? Of course I know the best is to marry someone who shares the same culture as you, but does it mean that marrying someone, or even to date some one which is not the same race as you, is a sin?

From what I see from my family member's marriage, the one that actually marry a different culture spouse has the happiest marriage. I know they are just being caring, and hope the best for me, but I know what I should choose, and what not to pick.

I'm an adult, and I know I am, so I will handle this properly, and I won't let this to ruin my summer holiday!

Wishing everyone, a peaceful Christmas and a great new year ahead!

xx, J
