Hello Bangkok!

Hi,

It is May now and next month will be a fantastic long holiday for students and most family in Indonesia.
Thinking of where to go, why not Bangkok, Thailand.
It suits for sightseeing, shopping, and family holiday of course. Well, let me tell you my personal experience holiday to Bangkok with Diana.

We went to Bangkok via Singapore using AirAsia because we got cheap tickets.

Diana in ferry to Singapore

We took a lunch time flight but it was delayed until LATE NOON and we were stucked in Changi and had photo session to kill our time.

We start off very happy and energetic but in the end of the day, we got tired and slept on the plane. We arrived around dinner time and grabbed food nearby our hotel (cost us 30-40 Baht per plate) in Ramkhamhaeng.

I do not know whats the name in Thai but it is roasted pork with rice

This is taste somehow tasteless and not recommended at all

Our next day was a trip to the famous Madam Tussaud in Siam Paragon. The entrance fee was 800 Baht and you could go around freely inside. They have famous Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, and so on. You can also check on their stores too, but the goods was kinda expensive though.

Madam Tussaud was fun and took me a lot of time. It worth money I spent to see around and take a bunch of pictures. Definitely recommended for family and group of friends when travel to Bangkok.

I spent total of 4 days and 3 nights in Bangkok most of the time shopping and bargaining. It is hard for me to have food since I do not take pork so my choices are limited. Instead of having local food, I am having Japanese instead. For you who are vegetarian, it will be even harder I guess.

Bangkok did not cost me much apparently in total it costs me around SGD 500 for airticket, hotel, and food. The hotel Nasa Vegas was cheap and I shared the room with Diana so it is even cheaper. The place may not be the best but it is located next to the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link that can get me to the next interchange to commute around most attractions in Thailand and definitely a steal for the transport from and to airport (1 way cost me 30 Baht to Ramkhamhaeng).

Note: Please be more selective on your date to Bangkok since it may have raining season and flood is everywhere (Read : cockroaches everywhere!! Believe me, I had my experience), do not forget to bargain when using tuk tuk (It is hard to bargain when it is raining), be careful of thief and pick pocket, and make sure to give tips to you masseur (I give my masseur 100 Baht) or else they will be mad at you.

I am more than happy to share my itinerary in Bangkok and all the details of expenses too. Please do not hesitate to ask me or Diana. You know where to find us :)

Cheers,

Weekend Activity "Being a CHEF" LOL!

Hiyaaaa Dolls!!

Me again Erfhina  Sorry if I posted too much on this blog :p just wanna share my life *huggles*

Its slightly different for this posting with others, I'm not gonna share any cosmetics nor boxes nor gossips. I wanna share some Vegan foods which I cooked on last weekend :) *PS: I'm a vegetarian* and I'm not a good chef, I don't know cooking. This is probably my 5th time try to cook something.

Well, the main reason why I cook was my mom & bro were joining some temple activities and they need to overnights at temple that's why I was alone with my Dad which mean I need to eat outside food or he bought from outside for me. So I decided to ask one of my friend stay over night at my house and plan something to cook.

We plan to cook lasagna, but I have no microwave nor oven (I will buy soon and do the Vegan Lasagna review for you all *promise! finger crossed*)

Okay, let's start! First, we browse a lot of recipes from the Internet and got some non vegan recipes and I changed some ingredients to become Vegan :)
And we set alarm to woke up at 07.30 Batam time (GMT+7) to go to market and buy those ingredients.

Wet Market at Penuin - Batam, Indonesia

This is what people called "wet market" which is I was very surprised that I would go there! Like I said before, I'm not good in cooking :( and I hate wet market.
Well, we decided to cook 3 kinds of Vegan food

1. Spicy & Sour Vegan Fish (Ikan Asam Pedas Vegetarian)
What we bought are:
milled red chili, 2 turmeric leaves, 1 lemongrass, 4 lime leaves, 2cm ginger (crush it), 2cm galangal (crush it), tamarind.

These are the ingredients for the soup

A Vegan fish (you must fry it before), pineapple, tomatoes. You can see we have cut and prepared like the pic below.

These are the main

First you need to stir-fry the milled red chili with very little oil, and slowly add on all of the soup ingredients into the pan follow with water. And it will become like this (below pic). Slowly add the pineapple, sugar, salt. Lastly add the vegan fish and the tomatoes.

How the soup looks like

Keep stirring until all mixed very well and you are finished!!

Spicy & Sour Vegan fish (not bad huh? my first experience)

2. Potato with Tomato sauce
This is very simple and easy to cook. What we need are:
Mashed tomatoes (I did 3 pcs of tomatoes), Vegan seafood tofu, Potatoes (I did 3pcs). We also need light soy sauce & a very little of instant tomato sauce & chili sauce.
First of all, you need to fried the tofu and the potatoes as well.

Mashed tomatoes, Vegan seafood tofu, Potatoes

After finished frying, now we are going to make the sauce.
Add little oil into pan, follow with mashed tomatoes. Add some sugar, salt, light soy sauce, tomato & chili sauce (try to adjust and taste until you like the taste).

Tomato sauce

And put all tofu & potatoes into the pan, stir until all tofu & potatoes covered by the sauce. And you are Finished!! I think your kids will love it!! (Don't add chili if you wanna cook for kids)

Potatoes with Tomato sauce

3. Cabbage
This is the very common food of all, I forgot to take the picture. But its only need cabbage Beijing (or any cabbage, I love cabbage Beijing because its so sweet and crispy) and a carrot.
Just add some oil and put all the carrot & cabbage into the pan.

Cabbage & carrot added

Stir it and add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, white pepper, stir again and add some water (don't too much). Keep stirring until its done. Then you are finished!!

Cabbage

DONE!! Yaaayyyyy...... I done My 3 Vegan food, and they all taste not bad. The only thing which made me really happy is My boyfie come from Singapore to Batam (my house) just to try out what I cooked and he loves them. LOL, he is super sweet!! *he finished all the cabbage*

I will keep posting more Vegan food for you all who wanna eat healthier food or maybe some of you are Vegan like me as well.  Bye for now :)

Beauty Box HadaLabo Review

Hi Gals..

I am admin Diana, sorry for sharing my personal ig link here but I think it can make you know me better. I am going to review HadaLabo from BTI if you want to know what we get from BTI you can click on the the link.

Since I already have a full set size before so, just for sharing my experience of this product. Actually I am not good in sharing the skin care stuff :p and now I am really suffering with the lizard over my living room when I am blogging now, how come they can sound like ghost and ckcckck over and over my sofa. I hate them and they fell down from wall with sound PLAK.. damn!! I want to kill them if I can. I jump from sofa to sofa because of them and stop blogging for 15 mins because of them. I will choose to have no house if my future house will be full of the shit lizard.. 

Okay let's back to the reviewing not the SHIT LIZARD.. 

*thinking* someday I will blog how to exterminate it *thinking*

Previously I also bought the moisturizing care (Gokujyun) of Hadalabo if you know mandarin you can see on the bottle of the product got the word  "极润 " which means very moisture. But sorry I can't take photos of the full size because I already give them to my cousin who have a very dry skin and she likes it a lot. She said it moisture her dry skin and won't too oily after apply it. I don't know about other person, but I personally is suitable enough of this product. Gokujyun perfectly moisture my face without make my troblesome T zone area oily. I hate the feeling of my face too oily, so any product I have if make my T so oily I will stop of using that.

Talk about the 2 things I got from Beauty Treats Indonesia of HadaLabo, I received face wash and Lotion.

FACE WASH
Actually if we talk about face wash, the face wash of all brand overall are the same. But what make this Goku-Jyun FW different??
first, this FW won't make your skin feel dry but for me it's not so good. Because my face is combination type so if it won't make my T zone out of oily after washed. For me it's useless. although my face feel fresh after it.
Since it already stated that is for moisture consumers's skin so I think mm.. maybe for those who have a very dry skin will suit enough with this. Such as my cousin.
Oh~I just remember I need to tell you, because of fragrance free the it is not smell so good lar~ I pretty don't like the smell. You can try the small size, it can purchase in Hypermart with very low price, If I am not wrong the price is about 40,000 Rupiah ++ and if you are from Singapore or other country you can buy yours in WATSON or GUARDIAN but the price I am not sure.

LOTION
Now how about lotion?

Actually I like the lotion of GoKuJyun~~ why?? Coz I feel it is very moisture after apply it on face. I feel it can make my skin smoothly and feel fresh after apply. But this need to use it routinely, when I stop using if after 1 month usage my face back to normal.
and don't forget, it only can be applied on your clean face.


ADDITIONAL
Upper only review for the product from Beauty Box, but actually the main of this product is the milk and the cream.
After the lotion fully absorbed by your skin, you can start to apply the milk. It will make your skin smooth smooth de~ and it will feel really amazingly after you apply the cream. Your skin will smooth and moisture. haha.. why I keep repeat about smooth and moisture? coz for my opinion if I only use for 1 month, I don't think it will have a big different on my face. So, at least 3 month if you want to try some product (make sure for the first few weeks usage will not make your face redness/itchy/acne).

This product is suit for all female below than 40 years old, because it don't have any lifting function. and it also don't suit for those with the oily skin. Although combination skin is a lil suit with this product but I am not suggest you for this product if you have the combination skin. But I you have a dry skin, you can buy it.

overall I rate the product 6.5/10 since I am not suit enough ~

cheers

Unboxed My 1st BEAUTY TREATS Secret Box

Hey DOLLS!!!

Finally I received my very first customized secret box from Beauty Treats Indonesia.

Maybe some of you already heard about this, but maybe some are not. Its okay, let me tell you guys something about BTI.
For me BTI is a kinda community for whom wanna try new products (sample) before purchase the full size. You have to sign up first of course, and fill up your general information and next step you have to subscribe and do the payment for sure. BTI will send you a confirmation email and will also ask you to fill up your beauty profile (something like your skin condition, skin tone, hair texture, etc).
They need this information to customize your secret box.

For you who wanna sign up and subscribe or maybe you wanna know more information about BTI, you can click the link here

And now VOILA!!!!!! my box is received, I'm so excited to open it and Yes it doesn't disappoint me!

The packaging is soooooooo nice and elegant. Its comes with a high quality carton box.

Inside the carton box, there is a sweet cutey pinky secret box. I only spent 95.000 Rupiah (excluding shipping fee to Batam 20.000 Rupiah) and I think the box is just toooooo nice compare to the price. Super worth it!

Okay, now we can go thru inside. You there are some vouchers, brochures, catalogues, etc.

The vouchers we got contained MUFE 100.000 Rupiah valid only for 1 mio Rupiah purchase in Boutiqe, ZALORA 15% discount applied for all purchase (it can be reuse several times for 15th May - 15th June 2013, only for cosmetics), Wet & Wild 20.000 Rupiah for only purchase in www.wetnwild.co.id ^^


NOW directly go to the main course :p
I was so surprised when I saw the products that I get with only 95.000 Rupiah (10USD) I think its very cheap and worth it so much.

The box contained:

1. Hadalabo (from Rohto) Anti aging series; Cleanser & Lotion. I will try this out very soon and give you a review, hope my skin can works well with this (don't break out pleaseeeee!)
2. Skin Aqua UV face&body skin care; Spf 50 UV moisture milk & Spf 20 UV whitening milk & Spf 25 UV mild milk & Spf 30 moisture gel. I promise I will give this review very soon too, since I really love to wearing sunscreen :)
3. Rudy hair intense repair serum with Argan oil plus Pomegranate Extract. I love pomegranate, but I don't like doing hair care so maybe I will ask my other friend (Diana probably) to review this for you guys!
4. Mentholatum Bleackhead removal Acnes series & Mentholatum Face on Face nourishing blush on #Blooming Rose. I really love this blush shade, tempted to try this out soon!
5. Masami Shouko loose powder sponge (it should be loose powder sponge, I'm not sure)
6. Olga Lydia Lashes #in da club, the lashes is very soft and natural. I think I will love it :)
7. MUFE rouge artist natural lipstick (in sample size), It looks like candy wrapping inside lol. The color is nice but I haven't try to do any swatch because once its opened, it won't be store back so I will give you a swatch after I'm ready to use them *blink blink*
8. KOJI smooth eyeliner #black, once I saw this eyeliner I was just telling to Diana this wouldn't be a super nice eyeliner since I think the box is really affordable. And I think every girls will do the same once there is an eyeliner on your hand you will just simply swatch or draw a line on your hand, and yes this is what I did. After a while you will starting rubbing the line and see whether this is smudge or not. Okay, after I rubbed and I was screamed towards Diana which is shocked her much (Sorry dear :p) and saying "OMG, this eyeliner is amazing! it didn't smudge. After that we go and grab something to eat, wash dishes, clean the my dining table (I swear!! I touched & have contacted a lot with water) after 2 hrs and all activities, the liner still stay nicely on my hand which is impressed me a lot. Thanks to BTI to including this amazing eyeliner in my beauty box *love*

Actually three of us have subscribed the beauty box, and we got all similar products. Except the eyelash that Diana got & skincare from Hadalabo since me & Erna were belonged to Oily skin & Diana is combination skin. Here is the eyelash & Hadalabo which Diana got

Sorry the pic is not so clear.

That's all the sharing of my Beauty Secret Box from BTI, hope you enjoy and grab yours now!

Diamond, Zirconia Stone or Crystal?

Hi readers,

We are planning for online business, and will be starting from premium accessories.

Okay, let me tell you we are starting from selling Ring, Necklace, Bracelet, Bangle, Earring, Ankle. And after this maybe will sell more...

Jewelry for ladies use are so many kinds. I am personally is a girl who very like "Tiffany Co.", and you know these are DIAMOND. hehehe~ my friends said I love Tiffany Co is because of SNSD member that I like.. actually nope. I love Tiffany Co when I know  about what is jewelry ~

So, actually what is the different between Diamond and Crystal. I am not professional in this things, but I really search so much about Diamond and Crystal for our business. So, let start with my basic knowledge.

Basic knowledge of difference between diamond & crystal : DIAMOND will never break but CRYSTAL will break. I think this is very common knowledge.

Basically, there is no different between diamond and crystal. If you see the jewelry sell in some shop you can see they wrote it's swarovski element actually it's crystal. Try to see it with our bare eyes of difference between diamond and crystal, diamond is shiner than crystal. If you can't understand how to do the comparison, you can buy a small diamond and crystal ring of course I am not suggest you to buy these just for eager of know this thing. lol. 
Last time when I watching variety show "COUNTER FAKE" in channel 8 (Singapore TV station), a professional guy who attend this show said that the different between diamond and crystal is diamond can't directly see what ever transparently but crystal can.

Our business is not selling any of diamond or crystal, we just sell the jewelry with crystal. haha~ this is not my topic now..

Back to topic...

Have you ever heard about ZIRCONIA stone? It's look like diamond and shiner than crystal actually (from my jewelry by crystal and by zirconia, zirconia is shiner)..

As per wikipedia information, 

Because of Zirconia is low cost, durability, and close visual likeness to diamond, synthetic cubic zirconia has remained the most gemologically and economically important competitor for diamonds since commercial production began in 1976.


I don't know what should I write, if any professional person read this, please give me the additional feedback if any of my post.. incorrect~ please correct me

Thanks

Company rules. No not ours.

Well first of all, I am more than delighted that I finally have time to post my very first blog.
Unfortunately even though I hate this so much, but my very first post will be about my current boss.
He is a beep!!!! beep!!! beep!!!

You probably once in a while hated your boss, but I am from now onwards hate him like hell every single second I spend in my whole lots of coming life.

Want to know why?
Have you ever searched in a search engine about freaking weird rules that company has applied to theirs employees?
Well at least I did mine.

I have read about girls cannot wear their bras to the company or a person rejected to come inside a country because he is too handsome. Read it here.
Feeling it weird?? YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TRY WORKING IN INDONESIA. In my company to be exact.

Here, not only you cannot wear any of kind of accessories, you also cannot wear any type of skirts even if you are a woman. You ask me why? I do not know why! I want to ask him too perhaps on my very last day.
You also need to use a hair net (yes a hair net - you read it right) whenever you are going to production area or canteen (who cares! you are eating there right? as if you are going to a bathroom) damn!

I think I need to stop mumbling about him because it is not healthy.

Anyway, welcome to O'DREEN a place you will love for shopping like at least we do!

Lots of love,

Admin Erna
