This full week, MoofMoof, Roccio and I will be them piggies in the oven. The sun is out everyday and the temperature is soaring high, way higher than what I've experienced in Malaysia. It was 42C/108F in the afternoon today. According to the people who lived here all their life, this is abnormal and this is the first time it has happened. Did I bring the sunshine all the way here with me? I wonder...Thank god it isn't humid here. Every time the hot air is blown my way, I felt I would suffocate and my heart would stop beating. That's how bad it is (at least to me, it is). As much as I would love a warm day, this is way too much for me to handle.

BUT, the day wasn't all bad. A parcel that arrived at the door today did brighten up my day. It was some skin care and makeup products by Artistry. I tried the samples given to me during Bite Of Seattle (food fair that happens every year in the summer) and I find myself falling in love with them thus I ordered a bunch of them online. Best of all it comes with 180 days money back guarantee even if the product is almost used up.

The Time Defiance Skin Refinishing Lotion has to be one of my favourite skin care product now. It leaves the skin so silky smooth after only the first time applying it, I kid you not. It's amazing!

As for the makeup products, I can't find a reason not to love their Essentials Mineral Foundation and Essentials Concealer. I have very dry skin and numerous brands of foundations and concealers made my face look very cakey and wrinkley after a while of wearing them. However the Essentials ones are so fine and light they make my skin look natural. Even on a hot day like today, they didn't melt and didn't make my face look blotchy and shiny. Ahhh...those are what I call, products well made...

Even though it'll be a HOT WOK for the whole week, I at least won't have to look like a blotchy, shiny roast pig :D

That day was the first time I saw so many Malaysians since I moved to Seattle. I didn't know most of the people at the party but was told by a friend about the existence of that party and so we joined her. I'm really glad that we decided to go cause it was simply AWESOME! Fun people, finger-licking-good Malaysian food(I couldn't separate myself from the keropok ikan[fish crackers] bowl) and a place buzzing with real Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) not Bahasa Indonesia. Before I was always excited whenever I hear people around me speaks Bahasa Indonesia cause that's the closest thing to home...HAHAHA

That day I felt at home. I can't wait for the next event! :D

Sorry guys, I know I've been gone for too long. Can't help it though, I'm too caught up with summer and too busy helping MoofMoof lay down his business plans. As promised, I pick a couple of my personal favourites from my post-wedding pictures to share with you guys. Enjoy...
