When Joyce asked if I could cover this event for her, I was pretty excited. I haven’t attended a media event since my days, well, in the media (4 years ago!) and I had chronic panda-eye syndrome, so the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl spoke to me. Also, there was mention of a fancy lunch being served. Good food? Always game.
The event was held at Maison Francaise, a French restaurant housed in a bungalow on Changkat Kia Peng. I never knew such a charming place existed – always nice when events bring you somewhere new. Inside, it was all crystal, white roses, and of course the centerpiece: the product itself.
While waiting for the briefing and luncheon to be served, guests could test out the product for themselves with the expert help of Lancôme beauty staff. Since testing the product involved removing your eye make-up, the organizers thoughtfully arranged make-up counters for quick touch-ups post-trial!
The award-winning Lancôme Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl serum claims to give you brighter, bigger eyes in just one month with its secret formulation and new, flexible applicator that gently massages even the most inaccessible eye areas for impressive and illuminating results. Goodbye eyebags, hello fresh peepers!
Speaking of eye-opening, the table setting for the lunch was just gorgeous. Obviously I’m not Joyce Wong…
Oh my god la what a crazy week!!! I literally had no time to pause or even go to the bathroom in peace without my phone ringing non stop and everyone trying to get me on my phone and email at the same time! Everyone wants answers or something now now now!
I’ll be sitting on the toilet talking to the world, “Just stop. Wait. I CAN’T RIGHT NOW!”
I’m multi-tasking in between sorting out movers and boxes and apartment management stuff,
the Love Bonito fashion show which is happening in exactly two weeks time,
booking accommodation and flights for my summer trip,
blog stuff, event appearances,
and a million other things that just have to take a backseat cos the event is the most important thing i have to focus on right now. And the moving. I postponed my packing days from Wed-Fri, then it became Thurs-Fri, and now… i’m left with Friday.
I have 24 hours to pack ALL MY STUFF into boxes because the movers are coming on Sat morning
and according to a property agent, i have a lot of stuff.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Work was so overwhelming today i screamed into a pillow (again. Last time was in March i think)
And the bills… i have so many BILLS.
I feel like i’m always opening envelopes to file bills away
and i’m getting bills i didn’t even know existed.
Like what is this takaful thing on property i have to pay? RM1,500 bam gone.
Augh anyway. Bright side bright side… i’m happy my blog is still here!
All the posts and pix disappeared yesterday for a few hours and i’m so proud of myself for being SO CALM when i saw nothing on the backend or the front page. I just didn’t think there would be reason to freak out till i knew for certain it was gone. And okay maybe it’s cos i didn’t have TIME to freak out, i just quickly told our programmer Phillip, who said Baby already alerted him. But she didn’t tell me. Smart. She probably didn’t want to add on to my things to worry about and hoped it would be fixed before i noticed, didn’t you?
Really wanna post quickly about what i did last weekend before this blog becomes only about events and work! Wrote these two measly paragraphs on Sat night >
“Wow i feel i did so much today. Maybe that’s because i DID!
Woke up at 7:15am and went for a jog with Ai Chiin at Kenny Hills.
‘Twas my first time running there and there’s so much to see!
Actually, it’s my first time running in YEARS full stop.
I’m trying to manifest us at LFW (and Seoul too) together.
Had a croissant breakfast at Kenny Hill Bakers before walking back to hers for watermelon juice.
It was so REFRESHING to spend some time out in nature early in the morn!
The last time was a hike at Gasing Hill with Clouds and Deeds, and both occasions i felt so vibrant the entire day”
I headed to Mothercare to buy baby birthday presents before heading for the respective parties… it was a baby birthday Saturday! First was Noah’s 2nd birthday!
I’m wearing medicinal feather earrings i bought from Amma Sophia Rose when i met her in Bali,
and an off-shoulder corset top from Love Bonito
In house is Lily and Sarch.
On right is Noah who didn’t look like he enjoyed his birthday party very much.
He had to share his parents and toys with all these PEOPLE.
Welcome to your terrible twos Noah 😀
It didn’t hit me that i actually have a pet rock (ok i have many stones and rocks in the house, but i’m putting a lot of energy into this one) till this evening as i changed its water (don’t ask, just read on).
When i was in a bookstore getting a something for a baby shower, i spotted a book about crystals and kept clinging on to it till i decided to just GET it. Been trying to read a few random pages to wind down before i sleep. I realised that i’ve got all these semi-precious stones that found their way into my home, and i’ve never paid them much attention!
For instance, i have this GIANT quartz Sarah found on the beach in Koh Samui. I sat next to it all day and patted it to see how i felt about it and whether we could be friends, and ended up bundling it into my sarong to carry all the way back to KL.
