Long Distance Relationships

I'm sure some of you have been in or is in a long distance relationship,

The longing calls .. frequent messaging .. tears on pillow

Yeah me and Malko S is going through it right now lol

You'll think breaking up with a guy was hard, breaking up being apart from your jagi bestie is the hardest thing ever !! When we reunited in 2009 we thought it was forever until I got a job offer and got called back to my motherland, Korea. Since I got back we've been inseperable, our late night coffee, random activities, awesome dancing, karaoke, emo-talk in cars .. all this came to a temporary end last saturday.

Being back is .. very foreign and COLD for me, if only KL was a drive away I wouldnt be this homesick.

I guess now I really dont have an excuse not to update because this blog will just be one more way to interact with Malko S :)

Oh KL , How I miss you.

Love Life. Malko. B xx

Tip Toe

Only because of the guilt and shame I feel for abandoning our dead  blog. heehee

We've been swamped with work our hang out sessions have decreased and BBM-ing increased. It's ridiculous I must say .. even my parents think so !!

In MalkoS's absence, my new toy has been keeping me busy. I'm a faithful BB user but all the apps !! I am in android heaven haha. I got my Samsung Galaxy S by chance, to cut the long story short my mum got my dad the wrong phone .. so I happily accepted my dad's gift and have been juggling two phones having oodles of fun :) for those who know me I'm not very good at multi-tasking, so to be honest I use the Samsung phone for entertainment purposes Oh ! its also Malko S's hotline hahaha !!

The apps I use are Camera 360 / Action Camera / Pudding Camera / Labelbox

(Koreans make awesome Apps *HIGH FIVE*)

My poor LX-5 abandoned heehee :)

Love Life. Malko. B xx

Strangers, again.

We've not been taking that many photos lately, so videos will have to do for now :)

I"m not in a sad, soppy mood, but a friend was. This was the first WFP video I was introduced to. Simple and nicely done. Watch and weep (or tear or just be indifferent).

Which stage of your relationship are you in?

Bisous,
Malko.S ♡

And...we're back!

Hello! Surprised to be seeing this post? Lol we're still alive, well and kicking, though swamped beyond our wildest imagination. Looks like work is taking over our lives. Besides work, I've been kept busy babysitting and being a chaffeur, maid and cook. As for Malko.B,  her mum's restaurant just underwent renovation (which looks uber sexy now! I think we should do a review on this) and she's been waitressing her butt off after work and on weekends. All this work and no play is really doing wonders to our health and skin. And holidays? What holidays? We're having too much fun with our current lifestyle -_-

 

Thought I should share my most recent discovery on YouTube, thanks to  my friend, Yoonis. Wong Fu Production videos are awesome! Check out these 3 featuring Harry Shum Jr of Glee. So funny!! Hehe.

Givers with Big Hearts

Our friend Durri contacted me a while ago about an event she and her friends organized, it was for a good cause. The warm giving character Durri is I wasn't surprised. Instead of me doing a write up about this amazing event, Durri will give you a short introduction about it :)

"In a nutshell we already have a Rumah Aman in Seksyen 2, Shah Alam. It was founded by a nice man called Mr Abdul Rahman and run by a Principal by the name of Khalid Shah along with his team of dedicated and reliable staffs. They have been given a land in Sg Buloh on which the building of Rumah Aman 2 has started. We'll be needing around RM1.8 million to complete construction and to also kick off the operation of the home. Rumah Aman 2 will house 80 orphans (boys) while the old premise Rumah Aman 1 will house 30 girls. The orphans are between the age of 5 and 12 years old now.

What is amazing about Rumah Aman is that it is not just an orphanage to provide shelter. It goes beyond that. It hopes to provide the kids with good education (they are sent to national school and have in-house teachers for English and other classes). The kids are trained to be clean, arrange their slippers neatly, keep their bathrooms clean and do their own bed.

Also the home is very efficient in managing its resources. It has a "cold room" in which all food items donated are stored (rice, oil, eggs etc) so that they last longer. They also motivate the kids by awarding those who perform in school and bring them for short excursions.

Rumah Aman hopes to change the way orphanages are perceived in Malaysia ie run down, poor and ill maintained and with problematic kids. Rumah Aman hopes to turn these orphans into successful individuals so that they can help inspire other orphans to follow in their footsteps and bring them out of poverty!"

Back to Me ! Malko.B , honestly speaking I cannot Bowl to save anyone's life. But bowling for charity would be an amazing event because though I score real bad and have all my friends laugh at me in the end the kids will have a BIG smile on their faces from the fun we had :) 

DO check the awesome bowlsome team at http://bowlforcharity.blogspot.com !!

and proof that I cannot bowl wahahahahaha ↓ (Not to mention FAIL in covering names up lol)

I came in LAST place LOL

Just incase you were wondering, thats my christian name I use at the office : D NO LAUGHING PLIS hahahahahaha

Love Life. Malko. B xx

April Fool

Yes. That's right. I'm a fool in April, thanks to Malko.B and Panda Poh. So much for friendship.

So what happened?

12.02 AM, 1 April 2011

I was chatting with some friends on BBM and GChat. Usual ritual before bedtime. Panda Poh sends me a BBM message asking me if I've read the news today. His message reads:

"Omg Sits!! Our units...the developer cabut diri already!! Read the Star Online!!"

My heart dropped. Omg! Reaaalllyyyy???? We had just purchased a property each from the same developer last year and are quite pleased that the value of the property is going up, despite the developer being a small timer.

And just as I was about to reread the papers to see if I missed anything, Panda Poh said:

"Just kidding. April fool! Hahahahha"

Dammit. -_-

7.36 AM, 1 April 2011

Alarm went off at 8 AM. Pressed the snooze button and saw a flurry of unread emails and messages. With a lot of effort to lift my heavy eyelids, I scrolled through the ones that caught my sleepy attention. Oh. BBM message from Malko.B. It read: 

"Jagi, are you awake?? Omg I just had the biggest accident. I'm in a police station in Ampang. Can you come help me??"

Eyelids decided that I was still sleepy. Didn't quite register what I just read and thought to myself, heh not gonna fall for that again. I'm no fool! About 5 minutes passed and I woke up in panic. But what if it's true? No one would kid about these things right???

So, I called Malko.B. No answer. Omg, what if she really is in trouble and the police took away her phone? Crap. Crap. Scroll through my phone book to look for her mum's number. Crap. Lost all my contacts when the BB died on me not long ago. I should call the office and tell them I'm gonna go in a little late today. Friend in police station. Must help.

Then the call came. Malko.B was speaking in a low voice. Must be because she's at the police station.

Suddenly, she bursts into a fit of giggles. That's right. I got fooled. Again.

Double dammit. -_-



Note to self: be wary of your friends.


Bisous,
Malko.S ♡

Great Minds think alike so here is an illustration of how our great minds think alike = conjoined heads LOL

Its been a while, before you call us failed bloggers (noooo!!) we have very good reasons to our lagging updates. The Malkos have been so busy packed with work and apparently no life nor strength to do anything which led to slow updates .. If I could pull of the puss in boots look from Shrek, this will be the timing ! haha

Random-ness :

1. Malko S A.K.A hottest lawyer in KL appeared on NTV 7 Breakfast Show !
2. I am fighting urges to cut my hair. I need to make another contract .. no will power lol
3. We want to join a Glee club .. if all fails we can even play a 'tree' or 'background'
4. My 5months old Blackberry looks 5years old
5. Woke up and saw my clock reading 11 , LATE FOR WORK !! ran to bathroom and got dressed only to find out it was 11pm. Yes I sleep early and apparently addicted to work ..
6. Found RM40 in front of  KFC !!!! #winning
7. Our Hair Bun A.K.A Tahi lembu hair is a trend.

All my single ladies put a BUN on it(head) lol

8. I think I won the battle against 'shopping addiction'

WINNING !! lol

monster attack! (product review: natio face mask)

BOO! Did we scare you? Hehe.

In case you were wondering, Malko In The City submitted our name to SaSa Malaysia recently to do a guest review on one of their products and, lucky us, we got chosen to be one of the lucky 20! Yay!

So, what was it?

Lo and behold, Natio's Clay and Plant Face Mask Purifier. We shan't bore you with the history behind the company and the origins of the product, but if you're interested to dig in further (i.e. do research), do have a read here.

Our thoughts on the product?

Texture was initially runny, but eventually turned out to be a nice creamy smooth consistency once you've squeezed a fair bit out. Glides easily on skin. Dries fairly quickly and easy to remove with water. Smells great too, almost lavender like (though there's no lavender in the list of ingredients) and reminds us of the spa (must be the aromatherapy scent, mmm!). The ingredients include sesame to nourish and restore lustre, lemon to cleanse and purify and Palma Rosa to soften and nourish. Doesn't that sound heavenly?

The product claims to help unclog and tighten pores, do wonders for tired skin, improving firmness and texture and a wonderful at-home treatment for all skin types.

Let's see if what it claims to do is true, shall we?
 

before - bare faced and looking extremely tired and sickly



upon application - tried very hard to maintain a wrinkle-free, crackless-mask facial expression!

whilst waiting, we tried different forms of relaxation - meditation, read magazines, napped, chores

tick, tock, tick, tock...

10 minutes later...

after

The verdict?

Malko.S:

The mask didn't do much in terms of unclogging and tightening pores, but it did leave my skin feeling a little soft and supple. Not too sure about doing wonders for my tired skin. My skin's too exhausted to see any improvement after one application. Unlike other clay masks I've tried, this mask doesn't really absorb the excess sebum. But I do like the immediate soft and supple feel. What I need is more sleep and regular spa visits :)

Malko.B:

I liked the scent of the mask, as mentioned above lavender like. I am more disturbed about the fact my bare face is all over the net now but I'm hoping the mask did some good :) The texture was a little too watery for my liking as I prefer to spread it out a little thick, but it did leave my skin very moisturized compared to others that I've used in the past. Doesn't leave my face feeling tight. I think this will be a winner for dry skin, for more oily/combination skin types like me you might want to opt for something which focus more on sebum control.


For those interested, the Natio Clay and Plant Face Mask Purifier is available at any SaSa store nationwide for RM 37 for a tube of 100 g.

Grab it whilst it's still hot!!

On a side note, thank you SaSa for giving us freebies!!!


Bisous,

I'm all smeyes for Mica

 Now this is some talent. Mica and I go way back to elementary school when we were busy running away from cameras, and undercuts + baggy pants represented ultimate coolness. Very peri peri hot I must say. This present day Darling Mica is a beautiful bride to be (2days to be exact) in Brazil, waiting to tie the knot with her loving husband who also takes gorgeous photos. How do they even do that, talent in a 2 in 1 package. She doesn't have a official site up yet but you can contact her at mica.chong@gmail.com , She is planning to do some freelance work when she gets back. She has done some for our close friends and I have to say .. hold on , I don't have to say anything you can see for yourself :)

Love Life. Malko. B xx
