The beauty assistance demonstrate the new Gimme brow on Bendan. The fiber in the gel can stick to our facial hair pretty well and create longer, darker hair on places that we want. I don't think I need any clarification and you'll know Which side of Bendan's brow has use the gimme brow. It's so sharp and edgy, I kindda jealous of it though it's artificial.

As you know, I have no knowledge on make-up, not to mentioned eye brow trimming =(. Let's just put it this way, my brows are messy, untrimmed, inconsistency not the best feature on my face. Taking up the challenge, I let the Beauty assistance help me to clean my current brows makeup and let the pro do their job.

The result:

Frankly, I never had more beautiful brow in my life, It's so neat but curvy at the same time. I love it so much.

Although I am the total nerd that know nothing very little about cosmetic/beauty or makeup, I can't wait to try all there product.However, the problem is, I don't know how to describe or judge whether how good are they. I may draw a pie chart of my favorite bar or bar graph of my favorite pie, or or complicated stuff like Fourier transform, frequency transform, bode plot etc....but a cosmetic product...? I could use a lil help, maybe....

(HIMYM reference)

So, the easier way to show you, is to share my experience visually. Seeing is believing. Even a nerd like me can do make-up with Benefit Cosmetic product with very little effort, no screw up!


After trying it out, I also found out that a major YouTube guru, Bubz has getting the similar gift box like I did.

Cheers for Oktoberfest Malaysia


If you are 18 years old and or above, you better be prepare, coz October is now! Doesn't ring a bell? It's Oktoberfest! It's all over the world, so are Malaysia. We celebrate with beer and only beer! Imagine a chill Paulaner in a special edition Oktoberfest mug! Yeah, that's the spirit of oktoberfest!


Oktoberfest Facts & Figures

1. This celebration initially started as wedding celebration in 1810 to commemorate the union between Crown Prince Ludwig (who later became King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen at Theresienwiese (translated as Therese's meadow / field) – it is for this reason that Oktoberfest is referred to by Germans as ‘die Wiesn’ or ‘the field’
2. Through the years, Oktoberfest celebrations have had a number of different elements and activities, including horse races, street parades (in traditional costumes), live music, dancing and of course the appreciation of authentic Munich-brewed beer.
3. Currently, Oktoberfest is a truly global celebration with almost 7 million visitors consuming over 7 million litres of beer and more than half a million chickens throughout the celebration (based on 2011 figures), which lasts between 16 – 18 days from the middle of September to the first Sunday of October.
4. For 2013, the Oktoberfest festival proper will run from 21 September 2013 to October 6 2013 – a total of 16 days of culture, cuisine and beers


What Makes An Oktoberfest Beer?

1. All Oktoberfest beers must be brewed within the city limits of Munich and must also conform to the Reinheitsgebot or Bavarian Purity Law which strictly governs the production of beer in Germany by limiting the ingredients that can be used
2. All Oktoberfest beers are approximately 13% proof (about 6% alcohol), meaning they are a little bit stronger than their “non-Oktoberfest” variants


An Introduction to Paulaner

1. Paulaner was first brewed by monks from the Paulaner monastery in 1634 making it almost 380 years old – however it is still the “youngest” of the Oktoberfest Beers
2. Unlike the rest of the Paulaner range, Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier is not a wheat beer but instead a lager.
3. Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier, like all Oktoberfest beers are approximately 13% proof (about 6% alcohol), meaning they are a little bit stronger than their “non-Oktoberfest” variants
4. At the Oktoberfest celebration, each Oktoberfest beer operates a number of tents which provide different drinking experiences. Paulaner is famous for three widely popular tents, namely: -

Armbrustschützenzelt – ‘Armbrust’ means crossbow and this tent certainly lives up to its name with a crossbow shooting range available for more than 110 years
Käfer's Wies'n-Schänke – this is a smaller tent that gets VIP visitors from all over the world and serves signature gourmet food such as “Käfer-Duck” and a roast saddle of venison.
Winzerer Fähndl – This tent is also popular amongst VIPs due to its attention to detail, celebrated oompah band called “Nockherberger” and iconic tower with a giant mug of Paulaner sitting atop it

Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf [Food Review, not the Fairy Tale]

Previously when I review The Hungry Hog, I wonder why the burger was called The Three Little Pigs but there's no Big Bad Wolf. Then, someone told me, there is actually such place. I didn't put that piece of information in my heart until I was reintroduce this place again when I visit Bangsa Village last week.

If you have never heard of the fairy tale, Three Little Pig, you probably not an Earthling.... 


Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, lahahahahah~~~

Well, fairy tales are not real and those pig should always beware of the wolf, or in this case, HUMANS!!!!

The Wolf's Favorite, RM29
Needless to say, a mouthful of smocked bacon on each bite, topped with crispy salty bacon bits and a pouch egg on creamy mushroom spaghetti, is definately "The Human's Favorite" too. If there is any more critics, it would be the pouch egg. The spaghetti is thick enough by it's own, a liquid yolk is gonna thicken the sauce some more.  

Mighty Piggy Burger, RM28
Consist of the a pork patty plus egg burger, salad and fries (chips).

The size does win my heart but not the patty. The patty has added so many stuff inside that it doesn't taste like pork anymore. It's texture is very bouncy/chewy to the point to taste like a cheap processed chicken burger.

Overall: 6/10 [Well, what do I know, I just tried 2 dish. I should come back more to try on others as well before giving a more accurate result. Any sponsors? XD]
Taste bud indulgence: 5/10 [My spaghetti is good but the pork patty is not so great. Bacon is always good, so my rating is based on the pork patty]
Purse Saver: 6/10 [A bowl of Spaghetti for almost RM30? =.=||| ok no more next time no matter how Godly you are.]
Location: 6/10 [The entrance from the Mall/supermarket is very hidden, but it's easy to spot if you are from outside of the Mall]
Service: 9/10 [No comment, was pretty decent] 
Ambiance: 4/10 [It was nice and relax until someone with a newborn came in and our lunch session become a baby-crying-we-listen-in-pain-session. Still give some mark due to the home-style couch and cushion dinning place]
