L'Occitane

Posted in Labels: , , , | at 7:46 PM

Hi ppl, this is my 1st time post a blog entry in this blog.


Well, i had tried some new stuffs and there are a few reviews on some skin care products and cutie stuffs where I still haven't have time to blog about. Be patient, there are more coming soon.. =P

Yesterday, i went to Mid Valley and found out there is a L'Occitane promotion from 28 September till 4 October..

They mix and match to make a few sets of products and tag it with a lower price than the actual price of the product on its own. There are several sets of products included 5 different items and a free beach bag (erm, well, perhaps u may call it basket or any u name it.) and each set cost RM 199.00.

I got myself a hand cream set where i heard that L'Occitane shea butter hand cream is a very good product. However, I had chosen a cherry blossom hand cream set instead of the shea butter hand cream set because I don't like to have hair shampoo and conditional in the shea butter hand cream set.

Is it a bit confusing? It's ok, picture speaks for everything. I got myself this set.


Shower polishing polishing Nectar 250ml

Lavender tea tree geranium with essential oils body lotion 75ml

Cherry Blossom Petal-soft hand cream 150ml

Shea Butter 15% Foot Cream 30ml

Verbena Extra-Gentle Soup 100g
Including a gift garden beg (beach beg or any name u named it)

RM 321 >>> RM 199




The inner side looks like this...












There are also some other promotion packages available such as the hand cream and foot cream 150ml set RM 160 where you can save RM 34 and etc.

L'Occitane seldom have any promotion and discount. I heard from my friend saying that their product are good but I never dare to walk in and have a look where it looks a bit too classy and expensive, giving me some stress in walking in.

If u wish to get their membership card, spent RM200 on their product. =)
Hence, I purchase a Lip balm to make me eligible for its application.

For any information, u may visit their official website. http://www.loccitane.com/29/1/2270/34000/A-True-Story.htm

Movie Review : Gamer

Posted in Labels: , | at 1:50 AM

Just who wouldn't love this guy, Gerard Butler. The big guy in 300. The romantic guy in P.S. I Love You. And now, in 2009, he had two very contrasting movies, The Ugly Truth and Gamer to sway over any males and females who were yet to be fan.



Enter Gamer, now showing in cinema.

This movie had a fantastic concept. Making fun of Second Life and Counter Strike, making fun of nerdies, and making fun of technology.

And making them oh-so-real and frightening.

Imagine you will be playing Second Life and Counter Strike, controlling them like how you do now.

Only, they are real people, and if they die, they die, for real.

Gerard Butler (Tilman/Kable) is a death row inmate, became a character in Slayer (a game ala Counter Strike) to win his freedom, or rather, forced to be a puppet in the game. The rule is that, if he remain undead for 30 matches, he will get his freedom.

And the movie shift to some arguments whether this is appropriate, the way human can be controlled like a puppet. Some big philosophical speeches thrown around. Human no longer had interpersonal interaction. Battles between computer experts and hackers.

All these make a big promise for the movie to be great. I can't sit still, squirming with anticipation. How will this end? Is this another The Matrix (the first one) in making?

But alas, it falls short. Really short.

Not wanting to ruin it for you, suffice to say, the director chose the easy path to end the story.

So disappointing, i felt cheated.

But at least, Gerard Butler made another great effort.
Verdict

Story line : So promising...so promising....

Acting : We only get to see Gerard Butler from the start till the end. Other people are all inconsequential

Fun Factor : I had great fun, until the stupid ending

Value for money : Worth it, even if the ending sucks

Overall : Another great effort screwed, this could have been a great movie. If only they had more foresight, more creativity.

Movie Review : Vengeance 复仇 by Johnny To

Posted in Labels: , | at 1:19 AM




















Why i specify Johnny To? Because apparently the name Vengeance had been claimed by many movies.

Many big names is the Cantonese movie world are in this film, most notably my favorite Anthony Wong, and this film also had Simon Yam as the big bad guy.

And yeah, it has Johnny Hallyday as the French-hired-hand-turned-chef.

It goes like this. Hallyday's character, Costello's daughter had her family slaughtered in Macau. Alone, he went there and got a request for revenge by the barely surviving daughter. In Macau, he met a trio of hired killer led my Anthony Wong's character Kwai and seek their help. One thing led to another and there is a big twist at the end of the movie.

And i would say there are two finale here, both very climatic.

And this movie also gives some big laughs.

As this story revolves around these killers, bullets run freely. Blood flows. And bad people seems normal, as they had families to support too.

And guess what, there are killer's ethics too.

When i first watch this movie, it almost seems to run a singular story line, another forgetable movie.

I still felt that way.

But the acting is good, and for some people, this movie got them thinking, and its not about "when memory is lost, will there be vengeance?" thingy.

It will get you thinking, hey, don't those cool blooded killers just the same as us?

But in the end, this movie is destined to be forgotten, and maybe the only respite will be from some awards that this kind of movie usually will get.


Verdict

Story line : Not really thick, easy to understand, but still, its decent

Acting : With all the veterans, this can be a tutorial of how acting is done for the young actors

Fun factor : Had a good time. Decent entertainment

Value for moeny : It depends. What kind of movie that suit your taste?

Overall : You see, this is an art house type of movie. Everything is seemingly slow and directionless. But they had direction. Not everyone's cup of tea, but seriously, watch it first.

Movie Review : I Love You, Beth Cooper

Posted in Labels: , | at 12:59 AM




















This is a teen movie, this is. Nevermind if they reuse and recycle the old cliche of nerdie-scoring-the-hot-chick-girl-just wanna-have-fun-then-found-that-the-hot-hunk-is-a-bad-idea-and-settle-for-the-goodie-two-shoes.

This movie will give you a good laugh, which is why you wanna pay RM 10 in the first place. And they got Heroes's cheerleader Hayden Panettiere in it, just to give it some extra star pull. And God, does she not look good?

More than some good laugh, this movie will, though some punch lines, make joke of the cruel realities like bullies, bulimia, anorexia, boyfriend from hell, etc etc. And oh, how you wish you are back to school again.

And its certainly refreshing for them not to use the stereotypical thin chicks with HUGE boobs as the actress. Instead, they got some girls with fats and all, just like our cheerleader Hayden.

But other than that, this is just another teen movie. Do we really need another one? Should we just leave it to Disney Channel for that?

Hey, everyone need a laugh, and maybe something like this might be good once in a while.
Verdict

Storyline : Forget it

Acting : Just watch Heroes if you really want Hayden

Fun Factor : Good laugh, and that's what everyone need when stress got up their eyeballs

Value for Money : Go watch on Wednesday (movie is cheaper this day), then its ok

Overall : Should you watch? Hmm, if stress is killing you and you got some extra rubbles to burn, this might do for you!

Movie Review : GI Joe : The Rise of the Cobra

Posted in Labels: , | at 12:43 AM


This is a funny one, as now its already October, and only now i am talking about this one. Nevermind, forgive me for my lateness.

What do we have here? Oh yea, a lot of bullets flying around, missiles, aircrafts, more bullets, more missiles, power up body suits, mini-one-seater submarine, more bullets, more missiles....

And something called nano weapon, which is basically some metal eating micro robots..

And a lot of ass kicking sword play..

And two hot voluptuous women kicking each other's and countles others ass..

All that makes a great game, whether for PC, PS3, PSP, DS, or XBox. All the ingredient are there - big guns, bigger missiles, and even bigger explosion. Fantastic 3D graphic.

Oh, did i mention those big breasts?

Huh? Movie? What movie?
Verdict

Storyline : Bang bang bang!!!!!!!

Acting : Do looking good, acting cool and big nice breast considered acting?

Fun Factor : Wet dream come true for gaming nerds

Value for money : Maybe seeing some boobs (and no nipples) worth your RM 10

Overall : Why not we just go straight to their game? Hey, when is the game coming up?
