Makeup practice - My best fren

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

Ladies! Lama nye RedBerry tak update blog kan? Windu tak? RedBerry pun windddduuuu sesgt ngan uols! *hugz* - ladies only wokey.. :P

Anyway, dun talk about work. Mmg buat RedBerry stress sesgt. Tapi RedBerry mmg sesgt occupied every weekend. So by the time sampai umah, nak tulis blog, rasa blank! Hahhaa.. i know... entah apa2 la kan. One of the things yg RedBerry buat la kan... ni nak share ngan uols - makeup practice.... bukan RedBerry, tapi my best fren, Sue. Ada alat2 makeup tapi jarang pakai. Sayang la kan? Dah la ada expiry date tau. kalau tak guna lama2 kena buang jugak. So apa lagi, drive pegi umah Sue, and practice my skills lah! Hahaha

Jom kita tgk camna RedBerry 'conteng' muka Sue:

BEFORE

Actually, RedBerry patut amik gambar b4 letak bedak. Tapi masa dah letak2 bedak tuh, baru teringat nak share dlm blog! Aduihhh!! Tapi takpe. Time ni mmg baru jer letak primer, foundation and loose powder. Fuhhh... nasib baik sempat amik gambar. So ni la dia gambar b4 makeup betul2.

Masa RedBerry letak eyeshadow, kaler nih mmg nampak terang. Mcm over jer. Sekali biler dah oxidise, kaler pink, purple and black nih jadi natural pulak. 

Actually RedBerry geram jer nak toreh kening nih, tapi coz ni saja nak practice suka2, RedBerry tebal kan skit jer. ermm.. patut nye RedBerry kena draw skit kan? Takpe, next time. Boleh tak, Sue? hehehe

AFTER

Biler dah habes makeup, sambil2 dok share some makeup tips ngan Sue, this is the result!!!

TARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Eyeshadows - estee lauder

Lipstick - Simply Siti, Jerat Percintaan

So, what do u think, ladies? Actually makeup nih boleh try for day makeup. Takde la dark sgt. Actually nak buat smokey eyes, tapi kena gelap lagi. So, Sue... if u read this... makeup nih sesuai jugak for makeup siang wokey. Kalau nak for dinner, kita gelap kan lagi bab mata tuh :)

Biler dah habes makeup session, terasa lapar. So Sue pun masak la spaghetti. Sedap! Siap dia suruh RedBerry amik gambar coz suruh letak dlm blog, "ni la upah ajar makeup...." kata nye.... hehehe.. nasib best fren kan? Or else dah charge lama dah... hehehhee

Happy and puas hati... dapat conteng muka kawan :P

So camna uols? Ok tak? Hopefully next time Sue kasik peluang lagi! 

Ok la. See ya in my next entry!

Till then... a bientot!

Grooming Class with..... Datin Sharifah Shawati.

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

Jap! Jap... nak nanges dulu.. uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Uols tau tak, on 23rd Feb 2011, RedBerry attended a grooming class. It was organized by the HR. Bagus la keje company, siap buat grooming class lagi. Thanks, HR! Hehehe.. love it!

The grooming class was conducted by ......

MY IDOL!!!!! Datin Sharifah Shawati Syed Mohd

Uols jgn tak tahu, RedBerry mmg minat dia sesgt since she was still with TV3. Pulak tu dia bukak salon, then skang ni, she owns an image consultant company! So camna RedBerry tak minat? Eventho RedBerry bukan a broadcaster/reporter ke apa.. but cita2 lebey kurang sama, ladies... nak bukak salon sendiri. RedBerry pulak nak bukak makeup studio sendiri... lebey kurang ler.

Tapi kan.. yg RedBerry nanges nye.... i didnt bring my camera!!! Biasanye RedBerry bawak ke hulu ke hilir camera. Tup tup, that day.. tak bawak. First, coz RedBerry tak tahu pun dia yg conduct the class. Our HR didnt inform us. Nak buat surprise la kot. Second, coz camera RedBerry dah habes bateri.. tu pasal biar jer atas meja kat rumah! so AGAIN.. uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! (nanges terguling nih)

Datin with her family

Datin with her book

Luckily RedBerry bawak handphone :P kahkahkahkah... fuhhh at least la kan? Better than nothing, rite? So dapat la amik gambar ngan Datin masa mintak dia sign the book that i bought. It was RM40. Murah and berbaloi coz dlm buku nih, Datin ajar everything about IMAGE - from head to toe. Image is about COMMUNICATION. Bukan saja bercakap, tapi rambut, baju, kasut, makeup, handbag - we create our own brand. Kalau serabai, brand kita serabai la. Bukan nye suruh beli semua barang branded.. NO... tapi kalau kita nampak kemas, presentable.. org pun nak dekat ngan kita kan? So one of elements is makeup lah! Hahaha.. suka tul la. Ohh takde la Datin ajar nak makeup, tapi she did teach us how to choose our baju, kasut, handbag yang sesuai. Mmg best la masuk kelas nih.

Tapi dlm byk2 yg dia ajar dlm kelas tuh, everybody in the class remember these:

"A woman who does not wear liptick is an UGLY woman" - unknown

"A woman who does not wear perfume has NO future" - coco chanel

How's that??? Hahhahaa.... from that day, semua pompuan pakai lipstick and perfume. Trust me! Hopefully, RedBerry dapat attend other grooming classes. I am loving it!

Ok la. See ya in my next entry.

Till then..... a bientot!

Mesti uols tgk kan? Kalau tak pernah tgk.. mesti tengok!!! It's a must-watch tv show! It's fun to watch bebudak kecik from the age of 8 to 12.... masak2. Ni bukan masak main2 tau.. bukan masak guna pinggan plastik, sudu plastik and guna plasticine. Ohhh!! No.. no.. no... they cook at MasterChef's kitchen, they use real kitchen utensils! AND most importantly, they could prepare and serve mouth watering food, with stunning presentation! Jom kita tgk sapa contestants and the judges.

They all semua ni mmg superb. Masak ngalahkan professional. Suruh la masak apa pun, semua menjadi. They all nih, mcm ada magic hands tau tak. Pilih jer la ayam ke, ikan ke, beef ke, lamb ke, seafood ke... hasilnye, semua buat kita rasa WOW!! Terpukau!! Lebey2 lak RedBerry ni kan? hahha but seriously, they all ni mmg pandai masak la, for the age of budak sekolah rendah, masak ngalahkan kita dah zaman dinasor nih. Malu! Ohhh aku malu!! *grin*

THE FINAL 2 

Ohh yeahh... Isabella and sofia are twin sisters! They both masuk top 4, tapi cuma Isabella jer yg masuk final with Jack. Actually Sofia yg selalu menang challenges, tapi tak tahu mana silap nye, Isabella and Jack dapat masuk final. Ohh itu kena tgk ye.... RedBerry lum tgk part tuh :P

Nampak gaya, kena belaja presentation nih. Masak tak sedap pun takpe la... janji presentation mesti power! Kahkahkah...



GRAND FINALE - Celebrity Chef Challenge:

For the grand finale 2nd challenge, both of them were asked to prepare a dish created by a celebrity chef. It was Pear Perfection inspired by Chef Adriano Zumbo.

Pear Perfection - Created by Chef Adriano Zumbo

Looks complicated.... and IT IS complicated! I think this is the hardest celebrity chef challenge. Most of the judges gave perfect 10 to Isabella and Jack... and some even gave 11 out 10 to Jack! Unbelievable! 11/10... The question is: does it mean Jack's is way much better than Zumbo's? I wonder...

THE WINNER

RedBerry tak sabar2 nak tahu sapa winner dia coz they all semua pandai masak! So what i did was... tgk youtube.. kahkahkah... i know.. it's cheating kan?? dah tak suspen dah kan???? and.. by announcing it here pun, ramai dah frust kan? Coz potong stim lah. Dah tak suspen. Hahahha... TAPI ... pedulik! hahaha... sorry la, beb. Since RedBerry dah tahu... share jer la ek.. :P

So, here it is..... The winner is......

Isabella !!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, ISABELLA! You deserve to win... you have what it takes to be a winner!

Eventhough i already knew who won the tittle, i will still watch the show. It's fun to see these talented cheflings create delicious, mouth-watering foods!

Agak2 kat Malaysia ni, ada tak nanti Junior MasterChef Malaysia? I wonder..... and it must be fun to watch!

Kalau uols dah ada anak, boleh la ajar from now ok... nanti kalau dah ada kat Msia.. cepat2 pegi audition!

Ok la. See ya in my next entry!

Till then.. a bientot! Happy cooking!

Satay oh!! Satay!! ...... Satay ikan

Bonjour!!!!

Comment allez-vous???? Cava???

Waaahh... lama nye RedBerry tak update my blog kan? Cuti, beb.. cuti... this year CNY kat Sungai Petani a.k.a SP. Balik kampung la, kata cuti. Balik kampung!!! Ooooohh!! Balik Kampung!! MIL dah bising lama tak balik sana. Nasib family my in-laws pun ada. So mmg meriah.

Kalau dah balik kampung, mesti kita pk nak makan kan? Ohh yess.. kata festive season.. makan la. Pulak tu kalau balik SP, mesti RedBerry try cari mee goreng mamak and mee udang. Mr RedBerry suka beli mee mamak Alauddin. Sempoi habes. They all jual bawah pokok jer. Tapi ... slurrppp.. sedap!! Tapi actually taukey besar dia ada restaurant, ni dia upah la a few people jual tepi2 jalan, bawah pokok. Murah pun murah.. RM2.50 jer. Mana nak dapat KL nih. Anyway, before balik SP arie tuh, RedBerry teringin sangat nak makan mee udang and satay ikan. Ohh yess.. satay ikan. Mee udang mesti uols selalu makan kan? But how abt Satay Ikan? Ohh ni bukan satay sebarang satay wokey... bukan makan ngan kuah kacang. No no no *grin* 

Satay ikan ni biasanye dijual atas motor jer and kuah bukan kuah kacang, tapi kuah kaler merah / or dark pink camtuh. Ada dua jenis kuah - pedas or manis. Tapi kalau nak sedap, biasanye org campur jer. Aduihh... boleh nanges, beb!! mmg sodap... *drooling*

 

These pix are courtesy of Mr google.com. Thanks!

Biasanye, org jual atas motor camni jer. Kalau kat Kelantan ni mmg byk la, esp kalau kat area Rantau Panjang.

They all panas satay tuh atas besi2 tuh. Bawah tuh ada arang la. Lepas dah masak tuh, they all akan celup satay tuh dlm bekas tuh. Mcm dlm gambar ni la. Tu la sos yg sedpa tuh. RedBerry tak sure sos tuh buat dr apa. Tapi sedap. Lain dari yg lain. Lepas celup tuh, they all akan letak dlm plastik. Kita yg beli ni, terus NGAP!

Kalau uols yg tak pernah makan or beli satay ikan ni, camni la rupanye. Simple jer. Biasanye org makan for tea-time lah. Dok lepak2 tuh kan... makan satay ikan.. fuhhh sodap.

Ok, sambung citer kat SP ye. Kalau dah balik SP, tak sah kalau tak jalan2 ke Alor Setar. Kalau dah singgah kat Alor Setar, takkan la tak ke Pekan Rabu kan? Hehehe.. Kat Pekan Rabu tuh beli skit2 jer, mana yg takde kat KL nih, beli ler. Lepas tuh, before balik SP, saja la ronda2 kat Alor Setar tuh. Masa dok pusing2 tuh, sekali kat tepi taman, we all nampak org beratur panjang. It's a long queue. No joke! Wonder jugak la kan. RUPANYE! it's satay ikan!! uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... terus suruh Mr RedBerry stop! Nasib ada parking dekat tuh. Apa lagi.. join the queue la, beb... sanggup.. average, sorang mesti beli sepuluh cucuk. Satu cucuk 20sen. Ohh... dah 20sen.. dulu masa kecik2... which was zaman dinasor dulu.. 10sen... a'ah kan? takkan la dah masuk 2011 ni tak naik2 harga.

Still...... 20sen... MURAH yg amat... we all beli 20 cucuk, baru RM2.00. Tak ke happy sakan? Dah la mmg dok tingat satay ikan before balik SP. kahkahkah.... itu namanye REZEKI... alhamdulillah, syukur. Duduk la berdating di bawah pokok kat taman tuh. Weather mmg panas. Org utara kata HANGAT. Tapi sebab pokok byk, mmg best la lepak. Pulak tuh dah 6pm camtuh dah masa tuh. Kalau tengah2 hari buta tuh, dun think sanggup dok kat situ. HITAM LEGAM ler... tak sanggup! :P

Lepas habis makan tuh, tak cukup lagi... bukan nak beli satay ikan... tapi ternampak rojak buah pulak! Kuah rojak tuh, pekat... melekat... Fulamak... mmg best! Pekena pulak ngan air kelapa a.k.a air nyiur.. perrgghhh... mmg PETANG YG DAMAI lah. Hehehe

So... uols pernah makan satay ikan?

Ok la. See ya in my next entry!

Till then.. a bientot!
