记我与慈济的一段缘 #3 来,一起做黄梨酥!

为了《陪伴我长大》学生助养计划的募款,Perdana的大家继See Green See Lives之后又再聚在一起集思广益动脑筋。

“要过年了,一起做黄梨酥吧!”





下定了决心,有了目标,大家都兴致勃勃。采购原料,安排时间,招集人手帮忙 - 事前的准备非常充分。但当面团真的在自己的手心里,我们才发现制作黄梨酥一点也不简单。第一天,只有三位伙伴来到劲顺爸爸的家,其他人都抽不出时间。在劲顺爸爸和Amy妈妈的指点下,从准备面团,均匀地分配黄梨馅,将黄梨馅小心地包进小面团里,捏形,涂上蛋浆 - 每一个步骤需要许多的耐心和细心,一点也不得马虎。材料少一点多一点都不行。再加上这些黄梨酥将会是我们本着助养同学的名义在售卖的,所以我们更加力求完美。就这样,三个人在厨房里忙啊忙的,一整个早上才做出了一点点的黄梨酥。我们打算在大型的207爱心晚会上售卖我们的黄梨酥,来达到最大的收益。但是以现在的进度,怎么做到很多很多的黄梨酥来满足当天出席的五百个人呢?




第二天,依然只有四位伙伴来帮忙。我们心想,能做多少就多少吧!虽然因为有过经验,所以做起来比第一次更得心应手,但是奈于人手有限,我们的进度还是非常缓慢。到了晚上,救星终于来了!欣颖带了一群刚上完课的伙伴们(辛苦了!)来劲顺爸爸家帮忙了。

谢谢家齐,Isaac,Jason,Abby,昌伟(不在照片里)和政铭特地过来帮忙!
当然还有凯勋和欣颖,感恩 :)

人多力量大。爸爸看到慈青们齐心努力,也下手帮忙大家一起做黄梨酥。一瞬间,劲顺爸爸家的厨房变成了一个迷你工厂,大家分成不同的小组,各司其职,黄梨酥的产量突然间提高了好多。烘炉不见断地飘来黄梨酥的香气,一盘又一盘的黄梨酥也随之出炉。看到烘得金黄色的一个个黄梨酥,内心好满足。大家一边做一边谈笑,每一个,都是想要替募款计划出那么一点点力量的人 - 我想,这就是一起做黄梨酥的幸福




累倒的凯勋

做完黄梨酥,包装又是另一门学问。黄梨酥非常脆弱,每一个都要小心地装进袋子里,才不会把它给压碎了。每一个黄梨酥都是我们的心头宝,我们也懂得将来要细细地品尝新年的年饼,因为一切的背后都不是理所当然






Perdana's Bakery传递的新年祝福,你有收到吗?:)


黄梨酥的反应非常好,207当天更是供不应求,90包在一个晚上一售而空。想到有好多的人尝到我们亲手做的黄梨酥,心里好开心。大家期盼着下一次再一起制作年饼。


而我,又再一次感受到付出的法喜。


过日子比过年重要
好好耕耘心田,分秒不空过

[BEAUTY REVIEW] Sexylook Black Mask & Blackhead Set (Coffee)

Suppose you need to attend an official function or a party the very next day. Suddenly, you remember those awful-looking blackheads on your face. Though, they are hardly noticed from a distance, but they look bad if seen from close. What will you do? Well, I have a solution to make blackheads go away instantly! Introducing.... *drumrolls*

Sexylook Coffee Bean Black Head Pore Cleanser Set


Yes you didn't hear me wrong. Coffee beans! It is the new upgrade version of the previous highly raved Sexylook Strawberry Black Head Pore Cleanser Set. This product is very famous and it's a big love in Taiwan! It was once featured in 女人我最大, a very famous Taiwan beauty programme. Even Xia Xue, the top celebrity blogger once recommended this product. So you know it is a must to try! This time, it uses Arabica coffee bean extract as main ingredients to help skin renew and exfoliate. Remove blackheads thoroughly with only three simple steps! Unbelievable isn't it? Coffee with beauty benefits! Let's test and see how effective it is.


The set of three consists of a sebum softener, a blackhead remover and a shrink toner. They are nicely labeled with 1, 2 and 3 so that you won't go wrong with the steps. However, the description behind the box is written in Chinese as it is a product from Taiwan. Not very user friendly, therefore I will just briefly explain the steps in English here. :)


How to use?

STEP ONE Soften


After face washing, apply some sebum softener on the areas you wish to focus on and massage. This step is important because it softens your blackheads and sebum, making it easier to remove later on. The solution is very watery so be careful when you are pouring it! When you are done, rinse with water. Remember, it is very important to rinse your face after you apply the sebum, as the sebum is slightly oily and this layer of sebum will actually prevent the mask from sticking on the blackheads later on.


STEP TWO Remove


Apply a thick layer of black heads remover or the so called mask on areas which are rich with stubborn blackheads. Leave it until it dry. It takes about 20-30 minutes to dry up completely. And wow, I really smell coffee!


When it's time, gently peel it off, starting from the bottom to top, in an upward direction. The mask that is unsuccessfully peeled off can be directly washed with water. And tadaaa! Byebye blackheads! Can you see some whitish stuffs standing up? This sounds a bit gross but these are the blackheads, whiteheads, dirt or whatever you celled it. Yucks, I hate you blackheads. It may not be able to remove 100% of my blackheads at once, but it sure helps a lot!


STEP THREE Shrink


Lastly, don't forget to apply appropriate amount of shrink toner on the treated skin to leave the skin soothing and pore refining. It closes up our pores so that the dirt will not get in easily. For best results, use this blackhead cleanser set once or twice a week. :)

If you are interested to try, grab yours from iQueen here: http://www.iqueen.my/en/blackhead/237-sexylook-coffee-bean-black-head-pore-cleanser-set.html :D


Sexylook Superior Black Mask (With Neck)

Another product that I am going to introduce today - celebrities & bloggers favorite - Sexylook Superior Black Mask series! So blessed to get to try so many masks recently, if you haven't read my previous post about Ludeya Bio Cellulose mask, you can read it here because I think that's a good mask which works on me too. Back to the mask today, what's so special about this mask? You probably already guessed it by it's name - yes they are BLACK! It uses advanced technology to infuse activated carbon into the pure pulp cotton. Derived from natural ingredients. :) It also claims to have one whitening laser effect just after three times using this mask.


There are five individually wrapped mask sheets in one box. However, iQueen is so kind that they gave me a total of six masks, with three different functions! Hehe thank you iQueen. :) Another special thing about this mask is that it has the extended area for our necks as well.


Again, the description are written in Chinese, with some Japanese this time. Despite the cute anime girl and the Japanese characters on the kawaii packaging, Sexylook is in fact a 100% Taiwanese sheet mask brand. Only that it is made of 100% pure cotton imported from Japan. :)


Choose your favourite! For review purpose, I chose the golden one to try.


Blue: HYDRATING
Pink: BRIGHTENING
Golden: MOISTURIZING

One thing I've noticed about this black mask is that there is no plastic layer between the folding like usual mask. I could see some golden bits on the black mask, and I was told that they are 24K gold bits :O


The pure cotton sheet mask was so soft to touch and was extremely comfortable to wear. It is the softest sheet mask I have ever used! The texture of the mask was perfect, not too thick and not too thin like the transparent silk sheet masks. The scent of the serum was mild and pleasant.


After cleansing and toning, apply mask on the face for 10-15 minutes then remove it. If there is remaining essence on the face, gently massage it with fingertips to help absorption. I love that the mask fits me perfectly, without any bubbles of air after I applied it on my face. Thumbs up for it! There was residue serum inside the package so I used them on my hands and legs.


So, did the mask deliver what it promised? I will certainly have to try this mask out for a longer period of time before confirming its claims, but after one trial, I quite like it as it really makes my skin look appealing and better than before.


Want to get your own black mask? Good news, you can get it now at iQueen with 20% discount! What a steal. Limited period only. Grab now at: http://www.iqueen.my/en/119-promo5.html :D

iQueen is like my one stop beauty centre nowadays. So in love with all their products!

[BEAUTY REVIEW] Ludeya Bio Cellulose Mask & Simply Barley and Red Bean Water

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you the two products that I received from iQueen - Ludeya Bio Cellulose Mask & Simply Barley and Red Bean Water.


LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask


Ever wondered what is S.H.E Selina Jen's beauty secret? Despite her burn accident in 2010, Selina is able to maintain pretty, smooth and rejuvenated skin. All because of LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask!

Ludeya, established in year 2003, high efficacy yet authentically dermatologist beauty solutions masterminded by the elite team from Korea, Japan, Europe & USA, products are mainly made in Korea & Taiwan. Ludeya insists Non Artificial Colourings, Non Artificial Fragrance & Preservatives, hypo allergenic products that suits all skin type. All ingredients are clinically proven & tested to ensure it is mild & effective. 
Bio Cellulose, also known as ''artificial skin'', was medically used as a substitute for skin to treat various types of wounds and burn injuries. LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask series uses the latest, exclusive Bio Fermentation technology – a 21- day process under very low temperature – to form SkinGel, whose 3-dimensional structure closely resembles the human skin. This allows Bio Cellulose Mask to completely bond with skin to deliver the exclusive SEANOL® essence deep into the dermis, and effectively reduce skin sensitivity. The Algae Polyphenol Extract was well-known for its skin repairing, brightening and hydrating benefits. It provides intense hydration to the skin, leaving it moisturized, radiant and more youthful looking.

Selina has been using LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask for 2 years. Then only she agreed to be the ambassador of LUDEYA. LUDEYA helps her to recover her face skin after the burning incident, even beauty guru Kevin has been using Ludeya as his all times favourite, so you know it's really effective!



Pink: PORE REFINING + MOISTURIZING
Silver: WHITENING + MOISTURIZING
Black: REPAIRING + MOISTURIZING


How to use?

STEP 1
After thorough cleansing, remove the mask from the pouch.


STEP 2
Remove the pearl paper and 
apply the mask on face and fix it with fingertips using gentle pressure, 
then remove the blue layer. 


STEP 3
Ensure the mask adheres well to the skin with no bubble of air in between.


STEP 4
Relax and let it acts for 15-20 minutes.

STEP 5
Remove the mask and gently massage remaining essence into skin.


Overall, the quality on the masks, all the way from the packaging to the product itself, is fantastic! I tried the silver one, which has the function of deep whitening, hydrating, brightening and anti dullness. I did not experience any irritation, nor did I see extremely pronounced results. Nevertheless, my skin definitely looked less dull than it did prior to use, which is largely due to the boost of hydration. The best part is, my face feels supple and bouncy!

Interestingly, considering how drenched the mask was in the product when I first removed it from the packaging, the amount of moisture left on it when it was removed after the half hour mark has pronouncedly diminished which indicates that the formula on these is very effective at penetrating the skin. The gel-like, rubbery mask adhered on my face perfectly without any trouble of slipping off or adjusting it over and over again. It is something really new for me to try because I have never put on a mask that comes in three layers. The one that I usually put on is just two layers by itself.
