Yay!...It's Public Holiday Again

Semalam another public holiday (bestnya kalau tiap2 minggu ada public holiday :) ) n since the twins are outstation (hehehe...selalunya mak bapak yg outstation, ni anak2 lak yg outstation) aku n hubby mmg dah plan nak kuar gi tgk wayang. Aku dah lama ngidam nak tgk 'The Golden Compass' coz aku dgr citernya ala2 Lord of the Ring. Sebenarnya rasa gak bersalah keluar bersukaria ngan anak2 tinggal kat kampung. Tapi diorg dihantar balik kampung coz this week xde org yg boleh jaga diorg kat Melaka. Next week baru stat anta diorg ke school.

Kitorg gi Mahkota Parade n dapat tiket 'The Golden Compass' kul 12.20 noon though kami samapi situ dalam kul 12 noon. Teringat aku zaman2 tgk wayang kat KL dulu...kalau x reserve tiket, main gamble beratur nak beli dah dekat2 show nak start, jarang la dapat unless kalau movie tu x popular boleh la. Pulak tu kalau kat KLCC beratur sikit punya panjang. Kat Mahkota Parade ni beratur kejap aje.

'The Golden Compass' though is a fantasy adventure movie but it's not up to my expectation. That's what happen when you keep compare it ngan Lord of the Ring. Nampaknya TGC ni cam ada sequel lagi, coz ending nya tergantung begitu shj. Tu yg aku x suka sbb LOTR though mmg ada sambungan, but each movie tgk mmg puas hati la. Apa la diorg ni, semua sibuk nak buat sequel. At least Narnia is much better. Harap2 the 2nd sequel of Narnia which will come out next year is good. Sbb selalunya (except for LOTR) the sequel turns out to be boring cam Pirates of Caribbean. Hish...aku ni dah bunyi cam movie reviewer dah, padahal tgk movie setahun sekali pon belum tentu :).

Lepas tgk wayang, kitorg ronda2 kat Parkson. Aku ingat nak survey skincare product coz the current skincare product that I've been using doesn't improve my skin condition ( dah pakai Olay aje...what do u expect?). Nak gi kaunter SKII, aku seriau tgk harga2 brg dia. Though aku dgr hasilnya sgt berkesan ( tgk aje la iklan2 dia) n dr testimoni rakan2 yg dah menggunakannya, tapi for me to spend that much of money, oh...rasanya tak sanggup. Surprisingly, my hubby encouraged me to review it first, try2 product dia ke. Aku ckp malas...ingat nak survey cam Clinique or Bioterm. At least Clinique tu aku tau rate harga dia cemana, though consider mahal tapi x la semahal SKII tu.

Baru je jenguk2 kat kaunter Clinique, staff dia dah invite aku duduk. Hish...kalau dah duduk2 ni dah consider serius nak beli. Walaupun sebenarnya it's up to us nak beli ke tak, cemana baik pon dia entertain kita tapi based on my experience sebelum ni, kalau dah go thru consultation tu mesti aku beli punya la. Bila aku ckp aku tgh survey skincare, minah Clinique tu terus analysis kulit aku. Masalahnya ngan kulit aku skrg walaupun dah x berjerawat, tapi warna kulit x sekata, pastu asik berminyak, n then byk tul white and black head. Then pores pon nampak besar. Nak2 dah dok kat site, kengkadang aku berjemur bwh panas, so kulit dah mcm terbakar. Before aku dtg site aku guna Artistry, Amway, which was good for my skin (this one pon cost me a bomb tapi last long). Tapi since it is a direct selling product and aku dah malas nak bayar membership fee utk amway, tambah pulak ejen Amway yg ku kenali ada di KL, so aku malas la nak continue ngan Artistry. Pada firasat aku, apa la salah nya aku guna aje product2 Olay aje. Kan ke Datuk Siti Nurhaliza kata produk Olay bagus utk kulit dia ( yo la tu....ntah betul ke tidak dia pakai Olay). Most importantly, aku nak pakai Olay sbb boleh jimat duit aku. Tapi tu la, bila aku pakai Olay, kulit aku jadi dull n mcm2 hal. Agaknya dah biasa pamperkan kulit ngan benda mahal, so kulit aku pon reject la benda2 kurang mahal...hish..hish.

So thru consultation ngan minah Clinique dia pon explain la bla..bla...produk mana aku kena pakai utk repair balik kulit aku ni. Ada la kot dalam 7-8 brg aku kena guna utk my skin care regime. So aku tanya, semua2 tu harga dia berapa. Dia pon mula tap2 calculator n showed me the figure. Mak datuk....semuanya dalam RM700 lebih.....kuang...kuang...kuang. Gilos aku nak spend byk tu demi kecantikan. Tu kalau betul terbukti berkesan, kalau tak....

Tapi biasa la, org berniaga sure nak promote brg2 dia. So aku hanya tanya quotation utk 3 benda utama, cleanser, toner n moisturizer. Yang itu harganya affordable, even aku tanya hubby cemana, dia kata beli lah. Tapi hubby aku bagus la, dia dok potpet2 ngan minah tu, asik tanya xde ke brg free, end up minah tu bg aku sample brg2 lain yg dia demo kat aku tp aku x beli mcm make-up remover, SPF sunblock, pore minimiser. Even bg miniature perfume and foundation lagik. Tu pon hubby aku pas bayar, complained that we should ask for more. Aku sebenarnya rasa bersalah spent duit byk2 on this stuff. But my hubby said I shouldn't coz I suppose to treat it as a reward to myself (I've just got this year bonus...yey! But I'm planning to save it). He said, if he himself can afford it, he would give it as a present to me. Ye ke? So aku ckp dia kena stick with that promise coz if I'm no longer working, he needs to sponsor me with these Clinique stuffs...padan muka, hahaha.....

Balik tu x sabar2 aku men'try' skincare baru aku. Bila basuh muka, rasa sensasi je muka (ke perasaan aku jek?). Tapi each n every item, especially yg sample2 tu aku guna ciput aje, nak jimat punya pasal. Harap2 boleh last long. N pastikan semuanya di letakkan di ketinggian yg tak tercapai dek anak2 aku. (Nabihah pernah tuangkan toner Artistry aku, waaa.....nasib la dalam suku jek dia tuang).

So inilah citer org pompuan ek...dalam dok kedekut2 nak spend duit utk diri sendiri, at last spend jugak. Mahal kos nak cantik ni...ni baru beli skincare product, belum lagi yg buat facial, buat spa, slimming course suma. Sungguh menggunakan duit yg byk. Tu la keperluan materialistik, it would never enough.
