Korean beauty products

I'm quite addicted to Korean beauty products. I'm using from face wash to makeup finish that I ordered from Korea. Some times when I do a haul, the postman will have to send a small parcel every other day for a month. (I think the guy must be real mad cause sometimes he'd leave collection slips with huge letters scribbled all over it as if written in anger. :P Sorry Mr. Postman).  Even Mr. H, when he saw me looking at fender frontman 25r at guitar center he was worried that I might order one - just looking I told him. LOL

I'm just at the phase of obsession. When I'm over it I think I'll stop. But who knows when is that. Not that I can't just use what they sell here in local drugstores. I just feel like the asian products suite me more.  I know I won't look like those Korean drama actresses, but my skin don't break out and the dryness is almost gone. That means something doesn't it??

I just love Korean beauty products!

Musim Bunga

Musim Bunga or Season of flower is here. Some trees still are budding new leaves but give them a few days, and everything will look green. People are more cheerful and friendly. I'm just so happy for Spring is here! :)

Things these days

We've finally packed up and stored the winter jackets. It has been warm enough to just go about in sweaters and sometimes just cotton long sleeved t-shirt.

Ever since we came back to work after Easter break, there were many changes - we have more kids hence we now have more groups and more new teachers. It's tiring everyday but we are all happy. I feel quite settled now that I am thinking about going to a Hungarian language class (I'm a bit too lazy to learn by myself). One of my new colleagues is going for classes which I think is not too expensive. Only problem is that I can only go to evening classes which I'm not so keen about since the street we live on now is quite deserted at night. Every time I walk back home alone after 8pm I wished I had pepper spray. (Quite a lot of car breaking incidents on this street). But... if I can get them to agree to have a class on Saturday or Sunday that would work. I'm getting a few other colleagues to enroll too.

I speak to the kitchen staffs in Hungarian. Though they say I can speak Hungarian, but my Hungarian is still very poor and not enough for me to hold a proper conversation. Perhaps enough to talk to small Hungarian kids.

Anyway, I just love the warm weather.. makes me feel happy. :)

We're back

We spent about 5 days in Balaton. Despite the gloomy weather (it even snowed a little) it was nice. Only thing I need to remember - when with Hungarian family member or relatives never talk about politics (well Malaysians are quite sensitive when it comes to politics too, but I think it is safe to say that we are not "that" obsessed. Here I was told by some Hungarians that families would even stop talking to each other if they don't support the same party)

This is the last longest  holiday break until August for me. This year we will work even in July. BZ will go off on School break starting from middle of June.  We've paid for 2 camps for her. One week "English story camp" and another "Arts & Crafts camp". In a way it is like babysitting with activities cause we can't get her grandma to take care of her for the 1 and 1/2 months that we couldn't take care of her.

I've already started my countdown to summer break. :)

Little walk

We managed to take a walk at the Tagore promenade yesterday evening. Good thing about not too good weather is that, we get the whole promenade mostly to ourselves. When the ducks and one swan saw us approaching the lake, they came to us, knowing that we brought some bread for them. After that, we took a walk along the many shops there. All closed of course except for one or two pubs. There are new shops that I didn't see before when we were there a year or so ago. Quite a good selection if you want to buy clothes or books or toys. Not that they have stores like Douglas or geo f trumper or H&M but it was good enough I think. So if we come again in the Summer we can do a little shopping there.

Second day

It didn't rain this morning so we had a chance to go out to Tihany for a bit. :) But it was mostly cloudy. It wasn't the best time to go out on and outing but it is better than staying home. And we got to buy somethings too. BZ got 2500HUF from grandpa and her two grandmas (one is grandma's sister) to spend on anything she wants. I got new fridge magnets and a huge pencil :) and she got new cat figurines.

The outing was only about an hour and a half but we had fun. :)

Online shopping

In Balaton and it has been raining since last night. Just like most European countries, the weather we are having right now is crazy. It's Spring yet it feels like Winter still especially after the heavy snow fall 2-3 days ago.

So here I am, doing some blogging and doing some online shopping. As I'm mentioned many times in my previous posts, other than clothes and shoes, I do my shopping mostly online. I can say I'm quite addicted to it. I buy books online for myself and BZ, I buy Korean cosmetics directly from Korean sellers cause right now I'm in love with Korean products, I buy cigars online as present for friends and relative who smokes, and so on.

We came over to Balaton to feel little change of environment. But due to the bad weather, we have to stay indoors. If not for online shopping I'd be very disappointed. :) But thanks to this little hobby of mine at least I can occupy myself well. :)
