I just returned from Ipoh Parade. Boy, it has been a long time since I was there. Today, coincidentally, a new store called Etude House just opened for business. And because of their launch, they gave each guest a small gift. Mine was a small comb. While I heart freebies, I hate receiving freebies that I cannot use! Gggggrrrr! Anyway, Etude House sells facial, skincare, cosmetics and other beauty products from Korea. Price range is about RM30+ per item.

I have to confess, though, that I have never heard of Etude House before so I am uncertain if they have other stores in shopping malls in other larger cities but if I am not mistaken, in this kind of business, I am sure they don’t only depend on business in ONE store.

I really dig the way this store has been set up. Besides the fact that it’s carrying Korean products, a country that I am fascinated with, pink is, after all, one of my favourite colours. I had the opportunity to take some shots; luckily no one said anything.

While I was in there just to “look see”, an elderly lady came in and asked if they have skincare products for people in their 70s. The girls said they do, and added that they even have products for people in their 80s.

I was like, “Oh goodness, even a lady in her 70s is taking such good care of her skin. I better do something about mine!” Anyway, I left without buying anything because I didn’t want to waste money as I have decided to buy what I need from Shiseido. I’m just waiting for their year-end sale.

If you are a fan of Korean dramas and movies, you surely MUST know who Lee Jun Ki is. He was voted as the “Most beautiful actor in Korea” some time back and rightly so too! If you have watched The King and the Clown, you would know what I am talking about. Man, I am envious of his beauty LOL

A couple of nights ago, I was at Kinta City for their event in conjunction with Chinese New Year and like two weeks ago, the Tianjin Peng Yang Dance Theatre Troupe of China was performing their Chinese dances. One of the featured male dancers was this guy, who to me, looked EXACTLY like Lee Jun Ki, the Korean actor.

My God, I was standing in the front row and wanted to take more shots of him when an Indian girl who was squatting down, suddenly stood up right in front of me and blocked my view. I was so pissed off! This girl, I think she is only 14 - 16 years old, but she was even taller and broader than I am. Aiyo… wasted my golden chance and I only managed to take two pretty decent shots of the leng chai *sigh*

It is said that there are seven people in the world who look alike. While I don’t know if that is true, I would pay a million bucks to have these two guys stand together for comparison’s sake.

Too bad I did not take the Oly along or I would have video-d his dances
