Super Green Detox Juice

I started green juicing early last year when i wanted to my health and fitness in check. Like most of you, green is not my favourite colour. It was struggle for me and honestly it is still a struggle for me. I started with a ratio of 70% fruits and 30% vegetables and slowly, like one year later slow, i am transitioning into 70% vegetables and 30% fruits. I am going through what i think is a quarter life crisis. For the past few weeks, my body has been doing some grieving - lack of appettie and sleep disturbances. I was a convenient eater, whatever was easy and accessible, i had it. I started breaking out and feeling sluggish, enough was enough! I had to take care of my body. So... i researched on detoxing juices and found this...

Super Green Detox Juice

1. Handful of spinach
2. Handful of kale
3. Handful of corriander
4. Small cucumber
5. Celery sticks x 3
6. Green apple x 1
7. Squeeze of lemon
8. 1 1/2 cup of water

Blend and enjoy! I get about 2 and 1/2 cups from all this ratio and i drink it throughout the day. I would have this first thing in the morning on empty stomach, like wake up, prepare the veggies/fruits, blend, brush my teeth and drink. i drank this for 3 days straight and felt so much better. My face started to clear up and my tummy became flat, which is always a plus. :)

Can someone buy me a blendtec/vitamix blender for my birthday? Its in 3 weeks :D

Step out and bare it! Revlon Colourstay Nail Enamel in Bare Bones (Review)

I am dark nails colour kind of girl. For the longest time, i was only wearing shades of (dark) purple, blue and black. The brightest nail colour i own is...coral pink from The FaceShop. My love for coloured nails started when i started working at Zalora. I am not a girly girl but being around girls 14hrs/5 days a week, you just cant help it. we talk nails, hair, make up and boys. My closest colleague, Azian is a total opposite of me. i love my colours, she LOVES her nudes. I didnt know there are different shades of egg shells/nude/neutral colours until i met her. 

It was recently, i couldnt decide what colour to paint my nails, i was bored of my dark colours and thought okay, lets get out from your safe colours and go nude! I started by going brown (Covergirl - 220). I thought i was going to hate it cause while i painted my nail i was thinking urgh! brown! so ugly! The colour grew on me and i started liking it.

A few days back my housemate needed to go to Priceline to get nail polish to match her dress for a wedding. Priceline? new nail colour? YES! i bought two colours - one safe colour and Revlon Colourstay Nail Enamel in Bare Bones. Definitely a new colour for me and i am loving it!!! My fingers look longer, somehow more elegant and more chic. I totally get why Azian loves her nudes. 

Its been on my nails for almost 3 days without a chip, which is a GREAT achievement for me. I wear the Salley Hansen Diamond Base and Top Coat which helps with the chipping and gives a glossy shine.

Loving my nails, i usually wear change my nails weekly but i think i might have this on for longer.

My list

my sweet perky housemate Chelsea is a seasoned traveller. She has covered most of Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and few more...), major european cities and recently...she just booked a ticket to volunteer in SOUTH AFRICA. Best of all, she is only 18! She did most of her traveling right after school when she was 17.

when she was casually mentioning where she has been... my mouth was on the floor and my face was green with envy. i cant wait to start earning money and travel every month! 2012 was my most travelled year where i went to so many places and i honestly felt happy, sure i was broke most of the time, but i was broke happy. 2014/2015 - Korea, Cambodia, India and Hong Kong are my top places i want to go. i want to travel alone and just get lost in a city. it will happen!

boo hoo

I had a shit ass weekend that ended up in tears. I was working on an essay for a few days, i did a noob ass move by not saving it and of course...my word document crashed. !!@@##$%^&*^#$$ i calmed down after freaking out and cursed in every language i know. i managed recover the file and i kept saving it every 10 minutes only to discover that you cant save a recovered file because it is corrupted!!!!

I had to rewrite everything and it was shit. i smashed it as much as i could in two hours and was drained by end of the day and i still had alot to do which resulted me into tears...  SB had to calm me down and make me snap out of it. All i needed was a good shower and a clean room. My room was messy and it was one of the reasons why i was stressed. I gave my room a quick clean up and i felt instantly better.

On an unrelated note, i am on a mission to watch IMBD top 250 movies. I am going to watch Pulp Fiction before i go to bed and when i get a good day off i am going to watch Fight Club. i am so happy that i have these little rewards for myself because its going to be a few long weeks.

series of unfortunate events

There has been a series of unfortunate events going lately that is hitting too close to home for me (LIKE LITERALLY TOO CLOSE TO HOME)

First before i continue, whenever an unfortunate event/war/strike/terror attack and etc, i usually just take the back sit, watch it happen and keep my opinions to myself or...my parents or SB or my girlfriends. I dont want to sound oblivious, there are too many idiots out there saying things they think they know but really they dont know shit. It pisses me off that everytime an unfortunate event/war/strike/terror attack and etc happens, somehow....Muslims are to blame. I do read the news and keep up with things that are going around the world. 

The only time i ever spoke publically (to the internet word) about something was the Boston bombing last year. i was really upset by that because i have ran many marathons and my family are all marathon runners. It sucks to have that tiny fear when you are running to what is supposed to be a fun thing.

MH370 definitely hit me hard. When i first heard about the news (on Facebook) i was scared. I was thinking, SHIT, i am away from home...and the only way i can go back home is by plane!!! I had a moment of panic and had calm myself down. I always use Malaysia Airlines whenever i travel. My mom retired at Malaysia Airlines. she gets staff discount, so we ALWAYS and ONLY take MH because we get cheaper rates and out of loyalty. i only take Airasia when i have to pay for my own airfare, hehe.

i got my first dose of how ugly the media can be with MH370, which is really funny considering the fact that i studied Mass media and communications for 5 years! i would wake up every morning, have my breakfast while watching the news and at the same time, i would get updates from my dad telling me what Malaysian media is updating them. THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER. I was confused to which to believe... One morning i woke up, my housemate who was watching the news, heard me brushing my teeth, rushed to the toilet to tell me, the plane was hijacked 30 minutes after it took off!! i was in disbelief and i asked my dad, he said it was not hijacked after 30 minutes. What news back in Malaysia said was hijack is not ruled out. Tell me how to react when your Australian friends talk about the tragedy? i couldnt even defend Malaysia because i will sound stupid with my facts when the "right" facts is being aired on TV as we speak. Same when my classmates were talking about the tragedy, i pretended to drink my coffee and looked uninterested.

I felt it even more sad...when i found out one of my friends's brother (from Uitm) was on the flight and one of the crew. I cannot imagine what her family is going through right now... Usually i would not say anything if an unfortunate event happen to anyone on my newsfeed, again its not because i dont care or being oblivious, it just... i dont want to say the wrong things (as many other idiots do). But this time, i had to, i remember being fairly close to her during our time in Melaka, i had to say something, i send her a message. i didnt expect a reply, but i got one from her and i was in tears. She is so strong and accepting to what has happened.

Another sad passing is cancer fighting Ami Schaheera. I have been a silent reader of hers for years...back to the Livejournal days. i am so so so so so so sad she passed. i always thought she would be a cancer survivor, but sadly, god loves her more. She was so patient and strong about her cancer, its unbelievable. She is also one of my inspirations to start eating healthy. She wrote an entry about eating cancer free/cancer prevention food and i started being aware of these kind of foods. Really sad. Al-fatihah to her. Below is a picture of her and my sister from my sister's instagram.

Last series of unfortunate event is.... the consciously uncoupling of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. To be honest, i am surprised that they last 10 years, Gwyneth Paltrow has hinted thay were having problems in many interviews over the years. I feel so sad....because Coldplay is my favourtite band of all time and knowing they are separating makes me sad. This is me being selfish, i know this coming album is going to be good and its going to be fresh heartbreak songs. ITS GOING TO WIN AWARDS LIKE ADELE's 21 ALBUM!

I am grateful that i am still here today. I am healthy. My family is healthy. My cats are healthy. My friends are healthy. i am grateful for all of that. Syukur-alhamdullilah.
