went to the gardens last saturday to get the goodie bag given away by the women's weekly malaysia at the robinsons. i went at 8.50am but arrived at 9.50am for a journey that should take only 20 minutes. you know why, there was a massive jam at sungai besi - seremban highway. i thought there was an accident and being typical malaysians, people couldn't help but look as they drove their damn cars like snails. or maybe people were travelling back to kl after the deepavali holiday but i was wrong, there was a police block at the end. one cop scanning a piece of paper while looking at the passing cars. maybe they were looking for the baddie(s) because they weren't checking my road tax or driving license! couldn't complain much, they were just doing their duty. after the block, the traffic was as smooth as a baby's back.
note: later from the 8pm news, got to know the road block was one of the measures taken by the police to prevent some listed protestors from attending the 'bersih rally' at dataran merdeka. the road block was one of the many road blocks conducted at major roads entering kl. wow, that was one of the pros of living in the capital city. you get to involve, directly or indirectly, in some of events that will or will not shape the country's future.when i arrived at the robinsons ground floor, there was a long queue. luckily i was within 200s so i managed to get a goodie bag! there were 1000 bags to be given away though.
this is the women's weekly bag.
these are the goodies... sorry the picture was a bit blur. the goodies are worth over rm300 as stated in the mag.
a list of the goodies:-
1. O.P.I. RM10 voucher for Manicure and Pedicure Services exclude OPI Express and RM30 for Fabulous Package only. (now i for once seldom had my nails painted, what else having my nails manicured and pedicured??!)
2. RM300 London Weight Management voucher. (although in my opinion, i look fat, i think i am not that overweight to be entitled to this voucher)
3. Beaubelle RM50 voucher for core treatment (hmmm... this sounds interesting, but the prices for the core treatments as given are expensive!! in the end, i think i have to fork out more money from my already exhausting bank account)
4. a piece of paper entitled me to Airellis complimentary eye & neck treatment (worth RM123), facial treatment voucher worth RM50 & one Airellis Miniature (worth up to RM46) and free skin analysis. (this does not require one to buy the product, maybe....)
5. L'oreal White Perfect Deep Whitening Eye Protector SPF15 15ml (this is for me! i have slight dark circles under my eyes)
6. Beaubelle Swiss Kit Normalizing Exfoliator 15g (i can use this too!)
7. Vaseline Intensive Care Total Moisture body lotion 120ml (good timing! i am looking for a body lotion to care for my over-air-conded skin)
8. Dove Anti-Dandruff shampoo 50ml (errr, i am using the best anti-dandruff shampoo now, Selsun Blue! so this is useless)
9. Fa Fresh roll-on 50ml (i don't have that underarm prob, so this is not for me)
10. Banana Boat Sunblock lotion SPF30 11.8ml (this is what i want to buy for my redang trip next year but it is just a sample, so i will still need to buy a real bottle of good old Banana Boat)
after that i was off for home as i have an appointment with the delivery man for my new wardrobe! on my way home, the police were still conducting road block and lines of cars crawling away on the other side of the highway.
