Sennheiser x Sabah - When Technology and Nature collide

Hello loved ones :) Hope you had an awesome Chinese New Year / holiday with your family and friends! :) 

Honestly, I'm still having the holiday spirit but hey, it's time to motivate myself to work hard after a satisfying, enjoyable holiday!
So I was pretty busy juggling with exams and work that I neglected my blog. But hey, I'm so happy to be back again, and here I am, to share with you my Sennheiser experience! 

I was first invited to the launch of the Sennheiser store in BSC, and what made it better is that I was given the chance to review the all new Sennheiser Momentum headphones!

The launch is featured in Unreserved Magazine's latest issue, shown above.
The grand opening was pretty interesting where local celebrities were invited to share their best Sennheiser Momentum moments, in collaboration with H&M, where they shared their H&M fashion styles which complement the headphones best. 

So guess where I experienced my best Sennheiser Momentum moment yet?

Nothing beats experiencing it during a vacation, and it was Sabah, my definition of the collision of the best of technology, and nature. 

Not only does it look stylish and sexy, made from luxurious leather in the headband and earcups, the sound is even more amazing! I have used many different brands of headphones, and I honestly think this is one of my favourites yet!
Not only is the sound quality phenomenal, what made it better is they are really comfortable on my ears!

A picture of me with my Momentum before flying! Flying is wayyyy more enjoyable with these headphones! 

Picture of my friends and the cosy place that we stayed in :) 

What is Sabah without the sea? And the headphones completes it, totally! 

And of course, amazing, cheap seafood everyday !! 

Next day, off to Sapi Island! :)

Went snorkeling in Sapi Island and then to kayaking! If only I could bring my Sennheiser into the sea!

Ended the night with some epic crab meal :) Satisfying!

Next day, spent the entire day with the sea, not forgetting my loyal companion, my Sennheiser. 

Hahaha, we are such posers lol. 

Boat ride to Pulau Tiga, a group of uninhabited islands, off the western coast of Sabah.
The 45 mins ride was made amazing by listening to tracks like "Island in the sun" by Weezer and tracks by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Gosh... such bliss, enjoying the breeze and the waves with Sennheiser Momentum.

Well, looking at my friend's expression above ( yea.. although he is quite a poser lol ) , you would know that he is honestly enjoying himself! Even I can't deny that the headphones make him look cooler hahaha..

One of my fav pictures! My Momentum, Rayban's, sand and beach. The best of solitude, literally.

Literally, just chilling by the beach :) Ahh.. a true holiday :) 

After a nice bath in the sea, we chilled on the green green grass across the beach :) 

Loving the moment, listening to my favourite songs. 

Time to say goodbye to beauty! Love the picture above! Sea, sky, and sunset. 

So this summarizes my best Sennheiser experience.

Thank you Sennheiser Malaysia! You completed my trip to Sabah. It was amazing :)

Beauty Post: Browlash Ex Lash Curler Express - Amazing Auto Curl Up Mascara

Dear lovers :) I'm so excited to share with you my favourite mascara yet ! 

Thanks to BCL Malaysia and Manoah, I am converted ! :') Hahaha.. 

So here it is, a product from Japan, called Browlash Ex Lash Curler Express

If you realise, I was never a fan of mascara. You can scroll through my pictures on my instagram or my pictures in facebook, I'm usually not on mascara, even when I go to events/parties. 

Well, this is due to my bad experience with mascara that smudges and clumps, which makes the result really messy, plus it usually makes my eyes really uncomfortable, especially since I wear contacts. 

Furthermore, I'm really bad with using eyelash curler, do not know if it's the shape of my eyes or what, but most of the time, I couldn't curl my lashes to the desired curls. 

Falsies is also not my thing because well, as the name already speaks, it's quite fake looking on me, or maybe I've just yet to find nice falsies which is not too overpowering on my face.

However, things have changed ever since I tried on this mascara today ! lol!

Here's how the packaging is like :

As the packaging emphasizes that eye curler is not needed, that seriously caught my eye! 

Initially, I obviously doubted it as most mascara out there also emphasizes on length and magical curls instantly, but after I put this on, I'm truly enlightened (lol). I have been on this mascara for more than 12 hours already, and I feel absolutely comfortable, and it is absolutely smudge free. What makes it even better is that my lashes are still curled up beautifully ! Hehehe.. 

So what makes it so miraculous that an eye curler is not needed and yet, it still gives a well defined curled, and volumed lashes? Have a look at the picture below :

If you look closely, you could see that the brush is curved 40 degrees! This super fine curved brush contributes to an accurate application and retouching for eyelash ends. Moreover, it coats and separates each strand of your lashes from base to tip for a well-defined finishing. When I put it on, it really gave my curls a great lengthening effect without clumps! Amazing! 

Furthermore, it contains curl-keep polymer ( omg whatever that is, but super effective lah ) , that keeps lashes curled all day long!  ( No kidding, my lashes are still nicely curled! )

Let me show u some before and after pictures for comparison :) 

BEFORE

Okay, I've to admit I pretty like doing this selfie thing hahahaha, especially now I've a reason to for this post hahaha.. yay :P 

And now.. 

AFTER

Can you see how nicely my lashes are curled up???? 

And how it amplifies my features??? :)

I absolutely love the effect !!! And remember, it's without an eyelash curler!!!

Now, just to convince you further :P , before and after pictures side by side :D 

Yay, looking beautiful never seemed so easy !! 

Now it is definitely! Never gonna leave my lashes without Browlash Ex Lash Curler Express when I have events/parties to go to in the future :) 

Moreover, it is in pink and silver, what a pretty colour combination! 

Get it at any SaSa outlets at only RM69.90. 

Totally worth it ! 

Give it a try and let me know your verdict :)

Beautiful Florence, Italy #TravelExperience #Eurotrip

Hello again ! Let me take you to Florence, a pretty and tranquil little city in Italy. Florence was my 2nd stop in Italy after Rome :) If u missed out on my post about Rome, here it is : Experience in Rome, Italy

I must say that I enjoyed my trip in Florence very much, maybe because it is not as packed with tourists as  Rome, plus the immigrants / con artists are not as aggressive lol.. but overall it is a beautiful city which gave me a peaceful and tranquil aura :)

Maybe I shall start by highlighting my favourite / most significant pictures of the places I visited in Florence :) 

1) Leaning Tower of Pisa

2) Grom Gelato ( Dont judge !! Grom ice cream is one of the best things that have happened to me )

3) The beautiful view of the city of Florence

4) The signature narrow alleys ( It might not be interesting to you, but to me, the narrow streets are a signature of Italy! I love walking into the alleys finding hidden gems! )

Well, yea I have highlighted my fav pics in Florence! Lazy readers can stop reading from now already OK JOKING hahhahaa pls lah dont lah. I took alot of time to write this blogpost so, kindly continue.... 

Alot more pictures below man.... :P

Welcome to the streets of Florence ! If I forgot to mention, Spring is the best time to visit Italy ! Summer would be just EXTREMELY hot , no joke, heat stroke can die. haha.. Hotter than malaysia really . 

What is Italy without Gelato? It is incomplete...  I had some fairly good gelato, and some that were not memorable.. but I will recommend you my ABSO FAV gelato GROM below :D ( not this one)

Welcome to Pisa !!! Can you spot the Leaning Tower of Pisa below??? Okay, actually Leaning Tower of Pisa is not located in Florence, but most people actually visit Florence, just to visit this iconic building , which is just 1 hour train away from Florence. Then you may ask me, why not just stay in Pisa instead of Florence?  That is because Pisa has pretty much nothing except for this Leaning Tower, and Florence is an absolutely pretty city, hence it's wise to stay in Florence for a few days, and just take a day trip to Pisa by train :)

Yay, another bucket list checked!! I can proudly say I have posed with the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa!! 

Not photoshop whatsoever !

If you are not aware of the history of this building. the tilt-to-one-side of this building is unintentional!

The tower's tilt is caused by inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side, and the tilt gradually increased in decades before the structure was completed, and until the structure was stabilized by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. So can u imagine, mistakes of the civil engineers or what not at that time has caused this building to become a world icon? haahaha.. anyway...

Took the picture above because the dogs were too adorable ! They just met each other lol..

Me and Ching :) 

My travel buddies - Su, Ching, Wan Hong and Jessica :) 

The group shot with all of us ! Yeap, Wan Hong is such a pimp :P 

By the time we were done with Pisa, the sky was dark already. Time to head back to Florence!

We had take away pizzas for dinner haha! By the time we were back, most of the restaurants were closed already.. Due to some miscommunication with the waiter, they made extra pizzas and we had 3 to 4 extra whole pizzas for free lol ! Lucky us. 

The next day, we first headed to a day market and this caught my eye..

It's funny how the menu was in Chinese but not English haha! Yeap, beef stomach bun it is ! haha..

I am a pretty adventurous person ( oh, but not insects / bugs pls ) , and i liked the beef stomach bun!

Moving on, we visited the main church of Florence, Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, which is also one of UNESCO's world heritage sites !

The basilica is one of the largest churches in Italy, and remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.

Too bad I couldn't take the entire cathedral, but just to show you, here it is, pictures I found online.

Looks pretty different from afar right? :) 

Camwhoring with my friends :P 

Lol, pretty embarassing but my friend Ching asked me to pose a few "model" poses, and here they are... -_-

Hahaaha, now i can say I modeled in Italy before 8) 

Jokes... :P

Some pictures of the cathedral below :) 

Some of my pictures don't do justice ! Beautiful cathedrals are one of the reasons why I love European countries! The paintings and sculptures are amazing. It is impressive and bewildering how much time they would take to build the house of God. 

Next up, we were just roaming around the streets before we get to Ponte Vecchio, one of Florence's oldest and most photographed bridges. 

When you see cute narrow alleys with buildings below, you know you are in Italy!  I love walking along the narrow streets, searching for hidden gems and unique shops!

Hahaha, look at the picture above, seems like the Italian guy has never seen cute petite Asian girls before lol! Arent they adorable btw? They are my girlfriends, Jessica and Ching :)

It's interesting how some of the restaurants and shops are hidden at the narrow alley. We headed to Grom Gelato Shop, because it was recommended by a guy working in our hostel, not knowing how good it could be!!! I'm so glad I found you, Grom !!!

Yes yes yes !!! Torroncino ( Nougat ) is my TOP FAVOURITE !! But I still remember their other flavours such as Creme de Grom, (made of egg white i think? ) , pistachio, and their sorbet such as strawberry is reallyyy good tooooo. yum yum yum. How I miss you Grom :(

The awesome thing is Grom is EVERYWHERE in Italy, so I had the chance to indulge in it in Venice and Milan as well ! hahaha so happy! I think the calories that I gained from Italy, I havent burnt them all off until now -_- I'm serious.. but.. no regrets, no regrets. Thinking about it, I'm a serious huge spender in gelatos D:

One scoop is averagely about 3 euros, and I had about 35 scoops in 10 days ( I know, im such a monster :( boys will run away from me but haha whatever :P ), so that's 105 euros worth of icecream lol..

Pictures above are the streets of Piaza Della Signoria, a beautiful square surrounding attractions mentioned above and attractions I'm about to share below. 

Cute looking gelato! But i didn't try it though, had too much gelato before that hahaa.. not so gluttony after all :P 

And yea, you see street artists everywhere in Italy :) They are so talented!

Finally, we reached Ponte Vecchio. The bridge's most striking feature is the line of high-end jewellery shops flanking along each of its edges. Imagine how stunning the view could be witnessing the sunset here? 

Ooo tourists being tourists, I witnessed police catching a lady that stole jewelleries from a store haha :P How busybody :P 

As you can see below, these are the jewellery shops along the bridge :)

After a long day, we stopped by the supermarket to buy some snacks ! Hahaaa, that's how we tried to save money lol..:D

Moving on to one of my favourite places in Florence , because it is overlooking the magnificent city of Florence, called the Piazzale Michelangelo :) 

Well, everything beautiful comes with a price haha! Had to climb so many stairs to get up there!

Paintings everywhere on the streets :) 

And finallyyyy, isn't it breahtaking stunning zomg :') 

And signs of Spring !!! Flowers blooming :D 

Yea and it's really normal to see naked sculptures everywhere hahaa!

Honestly, we were so motivated to try to visit as many places as we can. Can be pretty tiring, but well, we'll never know when we would be coming back again.. so yea! Next Stop !!

This is another cathedral, which I really couldn't remember the name ( sorry :(  ) , but it's pretty cool, can u see that it looks 2D?? Just like a wallpaper or a cardboard haha !

While walking and checking out the streets of Florence, we landed in this area where they have a handful of sculptures , called the Bargello Museum, some of the sculptures are pretty exotic / interesting looking ...

Have a good look hahaha... Ancient people really love naked men and penises huh? 

And their positions are so weird ? -_-

Alright, that pretty much sums up my time in Florence, too bad we didn't google good eateries, so restaurants that we tried were nothing to shout about, so no point blogging about it here. 

But oh my, Grom totally made it allllll up !!! haha. Yea, I'm that crazy over Grom. 

Alright, I will continue my journey in Italy on my next travel post!

Venice, the amazingly romantic city of love!!! ( By far, my favourite place in Italy ) 

and

Milan - ( What more can I say? Shopping heaven ! ) 

Toodles for now!
