The Body Shop Haul (Sales week)

(I wanted to post this earlier,but I got lazy..Draggggg)

The Body Shop recently held a storewide sales from the (17-May-2013 To 09-Jun-2013). Since I'm in East Malaysia, I've got no idea what's the crowd like back home,but from the pics posted on The Body Shop website,most outlets were PACKED.
 Anyways, since they were having sales, why not use the opportunity to grab the items. So, I bought my essential items which were their  Rainforest Shampoo (Balance and Volume).I gave Radiance a pass. I hardly dye my hair,so I don't need it. I wanted to purchase their body mist,but I couldn't stand the scent (Everything smells funky when you're expecting)

 Mr Hubs wanted to try their Moisture Hair Butter. Currently he's using Ginvera's White Tea Spa (Leave on Conditioner)but his fav is the little jar of Ginvera Mosturizing Light Wax which is rather hard to find here in Tawau (We were lucky to snag one.Only two were on the shelves).He has tried other brands, but they're either too oily or gives him snowflakes on his scalp..

Give it a try. It's pretty good.

 

 This wasn't on my list, but I got coaxed by Mr Hubs to purchase.  I have two more jars of Night Creams to finish, also by BodyShop (Vitamine E Night Cream & Aloe Soothing NightCream ). The Pomergranate series is not cheap and I told him that he won't look like John Abraham after using it. He insisted that I should get it and I gave in. I've been using the Facial Wash for night use and leaves a nice soft feeling to the skin ( For those no nightcream nights). Before using this,I was using Neutrogena foam wash which dries out my skin..(Mr Hubs is using aswell..:})

Ummmm Eye Candy

PS: I'll be going back to KK, this time for 4 days..A 10hrs drive from Tawau-KK..Awesomeee (Thursday morning-Monday)

 It's a quaint little shop. Love the deco.

KK trip (3days2nights) Part 1

When I was a child,I use to travel often to KK. My Mother is Sabahan (Chinese) from a quaint lil town called Inanam.My Grandparents had a small SundaryShop which caters to everything under the sun, well not everything under the sun,but they had lotsa junk in the shop.After my Grandma died, mom traveled less to KK. After eons, I traveled back to KK to attend my cousins wedding. Five years later I'm back and so much has changed. A new mall (Suria Sabah), luxury condos, seriously KK is booming.

These are just some random pics I took. I hardly take pictures...

We stayed at Best Western Kinabalu Daya Hotel in the heart of the City. Everywhere we wanted to go/eat was a walking distance,but we had a car for my Aunt graciously borrowed us her 4wheeler to drive around the city.

 They were so nice to upgrade us to a Suite for FREE

 

The View is Amazing..Lush Greens,LUSH GREENS...

Next..Sightseeing

 

I've missed you.(Sorry not allowed to take any pics inside)

 My favourite hang out joint when I was 12.Nope,I kid you not. Its been 21years and nothing has changed,cept that I'm married with a big bun in the oven, a skeletel remains of a whale and a small section dedicted to the Head Hunters of Borneo. Others would be same ole same ole,not to mention spooky as ever.

 

 The Kitchen..How quaint

 The Owner...Oh yes,it has a cute lil room with a small ladder leading up..Totally forgot to take a pic

Various traditional houses,but you have to walk down a flight of stairs,feed the mosquitos to get ere..:}

Moving along..

UMS  Aquarium and Marine Museum (Universiti Malaysia Sabah)

Occupying 35,000 hectares of land. You definetly need a bike,car whatever mode of transportation to get me from A-Z.You'll definetly get lost inside (unless you're a student),but one thing's for sure,the view as you go higher is AMAZING...Ahh, the view of South China Sea.

 

I had to nick the pic of the building. It was a bad day to visit the Aquarium when I wet..Urggghh screaming kindy kids...One good thing though,least pictures can be taken inside:}.

.

 Clown Fish...to others Nemo....Now where the friggin hell are those sea anemone which these fish love to hang around.I swear they cause a nasty sting.

 There's a specific name for the sharks...

 Huge murky tank

 Red Fish?

Tiger Garoupa (Large muthaF..kers)...I would like to bite ya toe

Lastly

Just some random pics.It rained nearly everyday and even though we stayed in the city,I could never get my hubs to walk .He tells me I need to exercise for it will do me good and during labour time. So I say let's do it,let's walk...At the end of the day he still insist on taking the car. Now that we're back in Tawau he wants me to go for my daily walks..I was like no way,I'm going back home and if u want me to exercise,I can do that in a mall:}.

 Morning View from our Hotel.....Sunrise

 Yeah, it's going to Pour..Pretty Clean Beach I must say

 Tanjung Aru - Pubs and Grubs

Boy don't I like look DUH!!!

 Towards the evening - Shangri-La Hotel Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa . It's gloomy cause it's raining
