My husband got me a really great gift in this Father's Day far away from South Korea !
 " Sulwhasoo" and "The History Of Woo" both are famous skin care brands in South Korea.

I really wished my dehydrated,dull skin tone will have a great improvement after using it.Hahaha....^^

If you want to know more details of the products, there are some blogger really wrote a details review of  these 2 brands.Here are the link :-

"The History Of Woo" Gongjinhyang:Seol Whitening Range

My husband got me 3 main items and the rest of the items were the gift he requested for me :) 

1.Whitening Skin Balancer: 130ml

Price: W55,000 ( Around USD55)

2. Whitening Essence: 45ml 

Price:W140,000 (Around USD140)

3. Whitening &Moisture Cream: 60ml

Price: W150,000 (Around USD150)

Gifts : I truly love their gift especially the classy packaging.  

1. 3 pcs of the Whitening Range travelling kits

2. 3 items Anti Aging travelling kits 

( Hwa Hyun Essence, Eye Cream and cream )

3. 2 pcs In Yang Lifting Mask

4. O Hui tender Cleansing Foam 

5. 3 pcs sets miniature lips items 

( Lip Balm, Lip Gloss and Lipstick )

I must thanks the beauty consultant for giving my husband so many gift and trial sets. I'm a 1st time user and really looking forward for their other items especially the anti aging range as well the cosmetics. Frankly the products from this brand are quite expensive but if the trial items gave me a good result, why not to invest, right? They are really do a good job in recruiting new customers. Well done to Woo Team!However, if you can improve your website and counter brochure to English version, it will be better for a foreign customer. Really looking forward for that.

Sulwhasoo : Essential Range

I have a seriously dehydrated skin. Before i start with Whitening products, I prefer to have some treatment on my skin. After reading all the blogger review on this brand, I think this range able to balance and deliver deep hydration for my skin.

Essential Duo Set cost my husband W120,000 

(USD 120). 

It come with 5 pcs travelling kits and 1 actual size Balancing Water and  1 actual size Balancing Emulsion . These are the two items initially I would like to try but after using it this few days, I realised that their First Activating Serum quite good and I should had asked my husband get 1 actual size for me as well :(

I love this Herbal Soap, i am using it for clean up my face every morning and night. 

It cost W42,000 ( USD42). 

For Sulwhasoo, I am  a bit disappointed because the beauty consultant didn't intend to give any of the whitening or anti aging sample to my husband. My husband told me maybe he wasn't spend a lots of money in that counter. I'm not greedy for the free items but just that I am really seriously intend to change my skincare to Korean Brand instead of Japanese Brand. It is so hard for me to buy Sulwhasoo or Woo in Malaysia and we only will buy it when visiting HK or Korea. Therefore, we need to know the other products range very well for next purchase in big quantity.

I nearly forget about Laneign was origin from Korea.It must be super cheap to buy in Korea compare to Malaysia. Therefore, I text my husband to get me some of the items as well :) 

1. New Firming Sleeping Mask ! I got myself 2 bottle :) Never try but I trusted it will be another star products after their Water Sleeping Mask . Most importantly it only cost me around RM60.

2. Perfect Renewer Night Cream : Around RM150

3. Water Bank eye gel cream:Less then RM100 ( I forgot the price, around RM60-70 )

Another important information if you plan to visit South Korea and yet intend to buy some skincare, airport duty free retail price will be 10% cheaper then the normal department store. However, good news is even thought you buy in their department store, you can have 10% tax refund. It means no different in terms of pricing. For "The History Of Woo", the beauty consultant automatically helping my husband to get the receipt stamped at another tax refund counter in the store. However, Sulwhasoo beauty consultant didn't do that and this cause my husband need to go back to the department store just to get the Sulwhasoo receipt stamped. After both stamped and verify from the tax refund officer, you can just claim your refund at the airport directly without showing them the products bought and passport.

My Murad Skin Care

最近感觉到自己脸上的皮肤严重却少水分， 也开始出现雀斑，整体上也开始下垂。心理有些伤心。当上家庭主妇后，就很少爱护自己的脸，平常在家或载送女儿上下课都没为自己涂上护肤品和防晒膏，人也开始懒惰了。但，我想是时候不做懒女人了！我可要好好的爱护我的脸 ！！！开始努力的同时，自己的口袋可破产了。最近上美容院洗脸，第一次感觉到西方美容产品也不错。以下是一些我本身用了认为不错的产品可以介绍给大家。

1. Age-Diffusing Firming Mask

This rich cream mask is to help restores a firm, resilient tone and relieves dehydrated skin.

RM320  ( If buy in US, just USD68 )

This mask is really expensive if you purchased in Malaysia but due to its name "firming" which i am really in need at this moment,  I decided gave it a try.  I love the texture of this mask, it is totally different then some other mask I used. The texture not creamy at all.Once you apply it on your face, it will penetrate into your skin and have a dry surface. According to the beautician, the specialty of this cream is it can be use on our eye and lips area.

2. White Brilliance Illumination Day Moisture SPF30/PA+++

RM298 ( USD65)

I love this step 3 moisturiser very much! It is specially for dull and lacklustre skin type and this is also my main concern in skin care. This brightening lotion enriched with pearl powder and botanical extracts which helps to fight the production of melanin and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyper pigmentation. After using it, I really can see the improvement of my skin tone became brighter. I love the texture as well because it leave my skin with a smooth and comfortable feel. Not oily and sticky :)

3.Age Reform Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture Cream: RM298 ( USD65 )

This is a very rich moisturizer which is good for night use especially you sleep in the aircond room. It can instantly relief from dryness.Avocado, Sunflower and Olive fruit oils are the secret ingredients to leave out skin soft,smooth and polished. After using it over night, I realised that my skin still well moisture compare to some other cream i used. 

Besides, I did try their step 2 items such as Age-Diffusing Serum for day use and Essential -C Daily Renewal Complex but sadly that these two items not really suitable for my sensitive combination skin. I had some break out and I just stop using it again.

在还没离开新山前，我们到了这家饭店吃brunch.它的Bah Kut Teh 真的很好吃。现在想起真的还有些回味呢！

这次会在吉隆坡过一夜。主要目的是和老朋友聚一聚。原本他们是要陪我到新山但一时book不到hotel所以没去了。但，我还是觉得很感动！谢谢你们！这次的聚会拉回了彼此的距离。很久大家没一起逛街一起打发时间讲废话了！

A Thai Restaurant at Gardens MV, thanks WL for a great dinner ...^^

Giselle & my best friend ever ...Sheryn

 Cheers!

Giselle & Wai Lun

来吉隆坡记得来这位于uptown的Village Park Restaurant。它的fried chicken nasi lemak超一流！但这次忙着吃忘了拍照！要拍隔壁座的又不好意思因为店里实在太多人了！

 

Lepaking with SC,Sheryn at 1Utama, Plan B before depart back to Pg.

Thanks SC & Sheryn for your times and great afternoon tea/dinner :) 

回想起来，一路走来都拥有很多朋友的爱戴，感觉上真的很幸福。我真的很感恩身边还有很多爱我的朋友。。。虽然很少见面了但只要心中还有对方，那种友情可是天长地久的。我会好好珍惜！

Dear Sheryn,

谢谢你的友情。还记得开始认识你时，彼此都不喜欢对方。我已忘了从何开始我们既然成为了好朋友。曾经很努力的试着去了解你的内心世界但还是失败。又不懂何时开始，我感觉到了你的真心。。。谢谢你对我的爱戴。还记得我当年从手术室出来，是你每天放工后再从老远的Puchong 送来你妈妈煮的鱼和菜。真的超感动的！失恋时也是有你的陪伴生活才好过。你这朋友已深深刻在我心。你可是我的重要人物哦！结婚后，我的世界开始有了转变，生活离不开宝贝女儿。真的很抱歉我的话题也只围绕着女儿经。其实自己曾经害怕会和你之间慢慢的疏远。但，这次遇见你，我的担心也消失了。谢谢你了我的好姐妹！对了，看到你和SC过得很好，彼此有着共同的目标，真的为你们感到开心。哈哈!每次看到你们手牵手，我可羡慕呢！或许，很多人觉得这封给你的信很肉麻但无所谓，只要能够让你知道我对你的友情已足够。还记得我说过，希望有天我女儿大了，咱们俩可以一起去旅行吗?我可期待这一天的到来呢！好了，希望你不要再埋怨我没为你SMS了，这信可用了两天时间，不错了吧！

Trip from North to South :Part 2之 Legoland

Back Post : 27-31 December 2012

从马六甲到新山，我们决定到Premium Outlet看看。这里的Premium Outlet，design & concept和美国的 一模一样。还记得我常趁老公去工作时，自己常驾一小时车到附近的Outlet去购物，冬天时也一样 :) 但，不一样的是名牌衣服价钱有很大的分别。马来西亚的会比较贵因为在美国时，马币二三十块就可以买到一样的品牌衣服。

 一下车，爱拍照的妈妈就为他们在大热天下拍合照。

 宝贝有她的marshmallow就很开心了！

Food Court还真大而且布置得还不错但食物只是很普通，没什么特别好吃的。

晚餐后的宝贝还会坐着慢慢的欣赏喷泉

来到新山，我们住入Danga Bay的 Zoon In Hotel。如你想找便宜点的hotel,这间是不错的.可以试试。它的设计很特别，老公第一个摆pose拍照！

 

我们在去Legoland的路途中，在 Taman Perling这家餐店用早餐。食物还不错！

 它的设计也古色古香吧！

来到Legoland，已是人山人海。大家都在大热天下排队。妈妈我开始担心刚复元的宝贝会再发烧！但，还好不用排很久就进入。这还要感谢我的好姐妹在去年已帮我购买到超底价的票。我们才不用排两次队！谢谢Sheryn :)

来张全家富!

宝贝和表哥玩得超开心的！ 

其实这里有很多玩意儿宝贝都不可以玩因为宝贝高度没超过100cm.开始时宝贝真的很失望因为她曾在香港Disneyland玩过的这里她都不可以玩。妈妈看了开始埋怨起来！还好后来有个Duplo Playground，宝贝才开心起来！

宝贝的小小世界。。。

 

 爸爸和哥哥玩过山车而妈妈也和宝贝在等候他们时也不忘玩了。

下午天气不是很好，下了毛毛雨，我们原本打算离开了但我们出了大门才知道原来游客是可以出了再进的只要在手背盖上印。而我们也发现大门对面就有个mall 而里面有很多餐馆可以用餐。妈妈我开始后悔在还没来之前没作好功课。我们既然在Legoland里用午餐。只吃了一个Kids Pasta,一个Adult Pasta和2 个medium pizza就RM100+.而Pasta不是很好吃但还好Pizza超棒！我想如果用同样价钱应该可以吃得好，也吃得

更饱的了！说到这，但，我还是认为马来西亚的Legoland不因该让游客可以在同一天出入。那样才能保证所有游客能在里面用餐，也保证食物的新鲜度！其实很多国外的theme park都如此，那才能拥有更多的利润来maintain 这park的水准。

再次进入Legoland看看小小世界。这才发现宝贝特喜欢这里。她对每个小世界都很感兴趣。妈妈我也很喜欢这里，整个世界制造得很美。

爸爸和以往一样，忙着解释。。。

宝贝特喜欢看小小的Lego transport行走。她会跟着它们绕圈圈行走

 

来到这记得买它的Slush，我和宝贝，爸爸特别喜欢这草莓的，很好喝！

宝贝要hug,hug! 

 妈妈看到这一幕感到很好笑！宝贝要爸爸像她一样对着麦克风唱歌然后宝贝跳舞，父女俩很可爱！

这次Legoland行以为宝贝不是很enjoy但万万没想到的是宝贝走出大门后既然哭了！"去去Legoland" 宝贝一边拉爸爸的手一边重复。妈妈只好告诉宝贝爸爸现在要带我们去海边。这样宝贝才罢休！虽然妈妈我不喜欢这里但我想宝贝她真的很喜欢这里。这时，心中也感到一些安慰。远道而来是值得的了！

以前工作时，公司要我每个月都要下来新山公干至少一星期。所以每次来新山一定会带下属来这Senibong Seafood Village用晚餐。我特别喜爱吃这里的烧鱼也喜欢看这里的夜景。但，这次再次到访，感觉上这里变了很多，不再只做本地人生意而且多了很多游客。泊车也开始收费了！

我还是选择在老店用晚餐。但，这次也有些不同。当我们一座下，店员会给我们很小碗的花生。起初我们以为是免费的但在吃饭尾声，既然有个马来仔向我们收了RM3。简直是天价！有点受骗的感觉！

 
后面是新加坡的夜景。

这里也多了几间店而且生意很好.

原本记忆中很好吃的烧鱼如今只是很普通或许自从回Penang后我尝试过更好的吧！但，至少今夜我带了老公来看看也告诉了他我以前来这公干的日子 :)

Trip from North to South: Part 1

Legoland!我们来了！这次我们夫妇俩打算带宝贝从北玩到南部去！但，很不幸的是宝贝在还没出发前两夜发烧了。。。没良心的妈妈我还是打算照常出发.也因为这样，宝贝在去吉隆坡路途中第一次呕吐，烧虽退了但宝贝胃口欠佳。无法吸收任何食物。还好的是宝贝和往常一样会乖乖的睡觉一直到吉隆坡。

这次特地停留吉隆坡的Kota Damanasara 只是为了到Bounjour Garden吃午餐。我很想恋这里的食物特别是 Pasta和 pastry。

 Main Entrance

 我们这次选了这张座位 ， 美吧?

Ordering menu 

 Bakery House

 

宝贝很喜欢它的Pastry...自己选了几个面包但妈妈又再次恨心要宝贝从中只买一个。

宝贝吃得很开心。。。妈妈也开心，至少妈妈知道宝贝不会空肚子了。

Thanks hubby for bringing me back to this wonderful restaurant.

宝贝第二次欧吐就在这美丽的餐厅里而且是在沙发上。还好这里的员工没对妈妈露出不快的眼神，妈妈真的感到很抱歉。宝贝虽然不舒服但还是尽力充沸，所以就带宝贝去Ikea.宝贝还真喜欢这儿，她把这当着是她的playground。每个厨都打开,看看里面藏些什么然后又叽叽喳喳的说给爸妈听。对了，还有Nougan哥哥，一直跟在这小女孩身后，逗她，陪她玩但最重要的是保护她 :)

我想宝贝把这当着是滑板楼梯吧！

宝贝喜欢把自己关在这椅子里，就像驼鸟一样，把头放进沙里就以为没人看到了。宝贝也一样，还真以为爸妈和哥哥看不见她了。但，妈妈还是很配合宝贝。"where is Giselle?Daddy, where is Giselle huh?Giselle lie?"就可以让宝贝很开心。

  宝贝对这张椅子感到很新奇，停留了一段时间，爸爸只好慢慢的向她解释她所看到的,让她明白。

宝贝在Ikea 里玩得筋疲力尽了，妈妈也在最喜欢的Gingersnap店里买了几件衣服给宝贝，我们又再次出发到马六甲也好让宝贝可以在车上睡觉。

来到马六甲已是夜晚，我们住入Hong Hotel, 靠近Jonker Street。 这hotel原本还不错，房很干净，便宜又方便但万万没想到的是其它房客很不尊重hotel的顾客。晚上回来会在房外的小客厅大声说话，小孩会跑来跑去，真的很吵！他们真的把整层楼当自己的家，太可恶了！宝贝就在今晚发高烧！吃了两次药都无效！妈妈我可心急了！夜里一直用冷毛巾帮宝贝抹身，脚底和头部。整夜都没睡好。但，很幸庆的是高烧后的宝贝在去新山的路途中慢慢好起来了。。。或许是妈妈一直在宝贝耳边常常鼓励宝贝要快快好起来，要strong and healthy才能去Legoland吧！

对了，在马六甲没到处去，只是看看Jonker Street的夜景也吃了鸡饭而已。

 坦白说，不是很好吃。。。也不好提它店名 :)

 大家晚安了！Legoland 见！
