这个选择是对吗?

每次想念你都想见到你!

但是见到你的时候,不知道应该说什么…

大家看到对方的时也会当对方是透明的…

但心里我其实很想起你

如果我放手大家可以幸福吗?

几个月后看到你的时候事情又会怎样?

A Christmas Trip to Taipei 2015 !

 
We stayed at the Shangri-la Hotel in Taipei, its quite far from the city centre but the view and facilities was worth it! 


The morning view

The dumplings are a MUST HAVE, especially at this restaurant called Ding Tai Fung ! 

In the Lobby of our hotel - Shangri-la Hotel 

Taken on the flight from Taipei back to Hong Kong 
No filter applied this is seriously what the sunset looked like !!

We flew to Taipei for a family Christmas holiday for a few days. The food was AMAZING as usual since this is the second time I have been there, but since it was December the temperature was SO MUCH COLDER than Hong Kong. Despite this, I live in London so I am used to the freezing temperatures especially during the Winter months. The Night Markets in Taipei are a must go to since the street food is so cheap and tasty, you can find a lot of local snacks there and the atmosphere is so lively.

只是朋友吗?


我认为最漂亮的风景是香港的夜景,每次去一个地方或国家都会想去看夜景. 我也会想同身边最亲和爱的人一起欣赏. 我份人很喜欢浪漫, 好想做韩国电视剧中的女主角!
,你们可能觉得得我很着迷;我有时也会觉得!但是我希望下一次去欣赏一个成市的夜景的时候,会同男朋友一起!我觉得可以同心爱的人一起分享快乐是一个luxury. Time is love! 最近遇到一个男仔  …但是我的好朋友告诉我;他只是想同我做朋友…。每次在大学图书馆看到他会很开心,但是也会很紧张! 不知道应该跟他说什么但是很想了解他深一层。
到底真实的你是怎么样的!
我有时会問自己为什么我会对你有好感觉?

七月中我会飞回香港,有缘無份的我们有机会看到對方吗?如果会我会跟你说什么?你会跟我一起 浪浪漫漫地看夜景吗?你会跟我一起食饭吗?我不开心的时候你会在我身边吗?我当然希望你会。但是 reality is harsh and brutal , 所以我觉得有缘無份!我觉得你很师也很可爱!他又做 model , 很有confidence and charisma 的你…每次看到你我很开心,你是为一个人可以让我大笑或者大哭的人!有一次在四月中deadline 前两个星期,我在library 工作中,在早上十一点开始工作到晚上六点,你也一样有deadline 所以工作很晚,到了五点半你所有朋友都离开,但是你继续留在!我坐在我前面,一抬起我的头会看到你…在这个时候我应该开心还是不开心!感觉好次你在我身边跟我一起努力工作!感觉很浪漫好sweet! 不知道我在你心目中你怎样的女人,是一个好的良好形象吗?会不会留在你身边吗?如果不会…我只可以跟你说再见……!虽然在这几个月我很努力忘记你,但是我做不到。我每天会想起你,很想念你! 

记得上课第一天有个男仔冲进来课室,第一眼看到觉得他很可爱和师!但是结果他是进错教室了..... ! 感觉难过的我己为好𣶶有个师哥同我同班!之后在Facebook 看到我们有 mutual friends 同我同课所以在Facebook add 他!在大学常常见到他,但是大家不认识对方。之后同朋友做个交易, 因为我们都有喜欢的男仔但是太 shy 去 say hi ! 过了几个月之后,我认为她已经忘记这个事倩,但是她沒有!早上两点 message 我说她同 person J 在 snapchat 聊天几个小时了,所以 I have to hold my side of the bet and ... Message 我的 person A ! 当时是二月十五号,情人节的第二天!

到底我们可能做到男女朋友或者只是朋友…我不知道之可以在我的blog 写我的心情,现在是五月三十一号,早上的两点!不知道看到这个blog post 会有什么的反应! 觉得我很疯狂和愚蠢吗?希望你们不会!

再见!



Are we just friends ? This is just a story that happened and is still happening in my life, I wanted to write my thoughts and share it as a story.

Night time Skincare Routine for Acne/ Oily Skin !







For my Night time routine I like to use more high end products, since this is the time your skin cells rejuvenates itself whilst you sleep! Hence BEAUTY SLEEP ! 

First Cleanser: Cleansing Oil 

Cleansing Oil has become very popular within the recent years, and I can defiantly see why. Using an oil cleanser to take off your makeup is the most efficient way of ensuring all your makeup is throughly removed without drying or damaging your skin. 

My favourite oil cleanser is the Body shop Camcamomile cleansing oil, For people with Oily/ Combination ( like me ), this cleansing oil is perfect because it hydrates my skin without leaving a greasy residue. Works very well with removing my base and eye makeup. In conjunction with the oil cleanser I use the Clinique 'Take the day off' cleansing cloth, to ensure all makeup is throughly removed. I find my skin is extra clean, since I started using these the cloth with the cleanser. 





 

Second cleanser: 
Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Cleansing cream wash / Garner Skin Naturals Pure Active Intensive Charcoal Scrub

If you have read my morning routine post, you will know I also use the cleansing cream in the morning as well, on normal days it works well as a night time cleanser as well. Its gentle, non drying formula is perfect for night time. 

Twice a week on days when I don't do a clay mask, I would use the Garnier charcoal scrub. It works very efficiently in cleansing deep into my pores. 

I would use this in conjunction with this fish shape exfoliator, with the concept of the very popular 'Clarisonic'. It is a exfoliating cleansing brush, its brittles are SO SOFT ! Therefore if you accidentally scrub your skin too hard along with the cleanser, you won't damage your skin ! 

I got this brush from my local SASA in Hong Kong! So cheap but very effective ! 




Toner: Garnier Pure Micellar Cleansing water

This is the only product from my routine, I would not repurchase since it is very effective as a third step in ensuring all the makeup and dirt is removed from my skin, but is has quite a drying formula. Not very hydrating. How would use it is, I would put some onto a cotton pad and swipe it on my skin. 




Serum: 
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum / Estee Lauder Clear difference Advanced Blemish Serum

These two products is my most expensive skincare products, but it works AMAZINGLY WELL ! 
Serums is the only product I would splurge my money on, since its texture is thin enough to repair skin cells deep within the skin. I can never fully explain how AMAZING these two serums are, it has LITERALLY IMPROVED my skin SOOOO much within the past year ! 

I would use the Clear difference Blemish Serum on days when my skin is breaking out, and I would use the Advanced Night repair on nights when I have a special even to attend to the next day and I want my skin to glow, or if I'm seeing someone special ! 


The Advance Night repair is Estee Lauder's BEST SELLER and I can definitely see why, it has DEFINITELY reduced the appearance of my acne scars as well as the texture of my skin!   

A little goes a long way, so I would only use one or two drops a night. 

Moisturiser: 
Avene Hydrance Optimale Light Hydrating Cream 



Avene is my favourite drugstore Skincare brand

This moisturiser is SOOO hydrating but at the same time NON- GREASY ! It works very well as a final layer in my skincare routine. I have defiantly seen a difference in my skin since using this, as it has become more hydrated and softer. I use the light version as a night time moisturiser since the rich version's texture would be too heavy for my oily skin. 


Sheet Masks / Clay Masks
On nights when I have been wearing makeup for a long period of time or I have a special event to attend the next day I would put on a mask. 

Sheet Masks: 
I would use these instead of serum, therefore after I apply my toner. Then I would apply moisturiser afterwards to seal in the moisture. My favourite brands as 'My beauty diary ' and Etude House Sheet masks. 


My Top three picks: 


This 'My Beauty Diary' Apple Polyphenol Mask is an oil control and pore constringing sheet mask. Works amazing well at controlling my oil levels the next day, as well as healing my blemishes. 












A MUST BUY FOR ACNE- PRONE SKIN ! 

This Etude House sheet mask instantly heels your blemishes over night! This is the sheet mask I would reach for when my skin breaks out really badly, In comparison to the ' My Beauty Sheet Masks', its formula acts like an intensive acne treatment, that does NOT dry out your skin. 













This Etude House sheet mask has the same formula as the toner I use in the morning, A very hydrating but Non- greasy formula, perfect for nights when your skin feels very dry. 

Non - greasy therefore perfect for oily/ Combination skin types






Clay Masks : 

Estee Lauder Clear Difference Purifying Exfoliating Mask


It's another high end skincare product, but again WORKS AMAZING WELL! 

DEFINTLY WORTH THE MONEY ! 

This clay mask very effectively draws out all the dirt and oil deep within the pores. My skin INSTANTLY clears up after I wash this off. I leave it on my cleansed skin for 5 mins, then wash off with lukewarm water. 

Instantly the discolouration on my skin is balanced out, the spots on my skin are reduced / gone. Overall my skin is improved within minutes! Seriously a MUST BUY ITEM ! 

When I first bought this I was sceptical about paying so much money and only leaving it on for a short period of time, so I left it on for half an hour ( Like other clay masks), and it didn't do anything for my skin.

 Recently, I have reused the product and I followed precisely as the instructions said, leaving it on for ONLY 5 MINUTES! AMAZING RESULTS ! My pores are cleared and cleaned! 

Its also an exfoliating mask therefore I would wet my hands with water after the 5 minutes and exfoliate my skin gently. It really does clean my skin efficiently.  

Will defiantly repurchase this product !
