Perfume Samples Collection

Mom used to be a perfume sample collector and below is only part of her collections.  She has a shoe box full of perfume samples and knowing that I have nothing to write on my blog, she asked me to take the shoe box home and play around with it.  Well, I was thinking of taking the pictures under the sun light at first but the weather was not permitting these days...  Most of Mom's perfume to be honest, stinks badly!!  Perhaps she has been keeping them for too long...who knows?! 

Got these glass piggy from Mom, she doesn't wanna keep them anymore so I'm taking them home for pictures!  LOL!

I took the picture from another angle and it has become so 'yellowish'...

Bored, taking pictures of chocolate & cookies now!  Haha...

Here is another shot of my bored creation.

Here is my Mom's shoe box of perfume samples.  99% of them are wrapped and I have to unwrap each of them to take pictures...

Vie Privée by Yves Rocher.

Nice container but stinks, Mom bought it mostly because it has a unique container...

This one looks cool, I'll call it 'a monk with a hat'!  LOL!

Calèche by Hermès

No clue of what the brand is but it stinks!

This one is stinks too, but it has several colors that's all I know.

Guess the brand!!

Cute container that's all I can say...

I like the bottle but I don't like the smell...

This bottle here is just too fancy and the perfume smells terrible!!

Poison Perfume by Christian Dior

Assorted stinky bombs!!

L'air Du Temps Perfume by Nina Ricci

Here again is the lip shape perfume in green.

Echo by Mario Valentino

Bottle looks nice but I don't know if it smells good or not...

Um....don't know what kind of perfume this is and can't find it online.

Fendi

I think they probably get the shape of this bottle from a diamond...

Looks more like a fragrance for man...

I was eating chocolate while unwrapping these perfume samples...can't believe it huh?!

This bottle is really small and cute, but I doubted that the perfume inside smells nice.

Dune Perfume by Christian Dior

Paloma Picasso Perfume by Paloma Picasso

Think my Mom has used up the perfume??!  Neh, they've evaporated~

Here it is: Salvador Dali

Vison Noir De Robert Beaulieu Perfume

This one doesn't show a name here, so I can't find it online.

Versace Blue Jeans - not my type...

Another bottle of Vison Noir De Robert Beaulieu Perfume

Fahrenheit cologne by Christian Dior

Cabotine by Grès

I've done half a box here...  PS, I only posted those 'better looking' ones here, for those ugly ones I didn't even bother taking pictures.

 Theosiris by Guy Bouchara

Jolie Madame Perfume by Pierre Balmain

Vent Vert Perfume by Pierre Balmain

Tendre Poison Perfume by Christian Dior

This perfume here has no name either and I can't research it online.

Nuit d'Orchidee by Yves Rocher

Eau de Cologne Hermès

Balahe Perfume by Leonard

This perfume bottle looks more like a wine bottle to me.

I have no clue of what this brand of perfume is but the bottle is very feminine.

Nice bottle but with no name.

Blue Crayfish + Miscellaneous

Haven't really been writing blog lately 'coz I didn't eat out much and I don't have any topics to write...  My mom's crayfish finally molted after almost half a year of long wait, and here it is I've taken some pictures of it.  I don't know why Mom's crayfish turned orange after it has molted...it looks awkward to be honest...  Besides those crayfish pictures, I've also included some misc pictures here which I took while I was bored-dead at my mom's place waiting for her 'cake' to be baked...

Here she is, freshly molted for only an hour or so.

Her shell is still soft and she is feeling very insecure, but we don't have her new 'hiding leaf' in stock  at the moment...

She should be electric blue in color but I don't know how she turned into orange after being molted...

Honestly, I don't really know how to differentiate this as a male or a female, but my husband said this is a female....

I was once told that to differentiate a male from a female, just look at it's legs or something...

She is not eating, that's what I can tell!!

It's winter time now and I guess they don't really eat much during the season?!  Or it's because the water temperature is too cold??!

We didn't dare to get her into mating, just don't want both of her claws to be clipped off and eventually killed herself...

I guess crayfish overall has a lifespan of 3 years?!  The slower they molt, the longer lifespan they can get...  This crayfish here only molted for 3 or 4 times over the year.

She hide between those 2 rocks after we've removed her leaf...

Mom's crayfish and her molted shell.

Thanks to my husband in scaring her more by putting her on his palm!!

Here is a closer shot at her molted shell.

Bored, waiting for my mom's 'pudding' and I took random pics at her house!

Mom's school bus collection!  LOL!!

Here is another one...

Bored, I'm still waiting for her 'pudding'...  Random shot at her pot of Orchid.

Mom got this cookie jar from Calgary a million years ago...

Bored....tell me when the 'pudding' is done...  'Wheat'.

I was getting insane...taking picture of whatever that's in font of me....  'Dried fish'.

Here is an unknown dried plant that my Mom has hand picked from no where....

Guess what these are!!  Buttons!!!  Yeah...million years old buttons...

Okay, this is what I've been waiting for...  It's a Casava or Casablanca cake whatever it is...didn't taste good to me... 


I was told that this cake is a Philippine dessert.  This thing is very filling, it has a light coconut milk flavor, not very sweet (my mom didn't add a lot of sugar to it), texture...um...like eating hard sticky rice balls...

Sorry to say but this thing is not my cup of tea...

Yoyo, you're Doomed!!

養魚係一種樂事,尤其係養啲攪笑識比反應而你又吹佢唔脹嘅魚,例如:Yoyo Loach. 我家 Yoyo 追魚,追着我心愛而又絕版嘅 Sterbai Cory 同埋 Green Moss Barb,我點會放過佢?!要捉佢其實好難,需要鬥智!首先要好努力地趕返佢入佢嘅住所道,然後慢慢拿起佢個住所,仲要 make sure 佢中途唔會偷走滑出嚟,拿到相當嘅高度後要即刻放個'監倉'喺下面等佢滑落去!'監倉'頂部要凸出高過水面好多,如果唔係佢好容易就可以偷走嘞!

哼~ 仲捉你唔倒?!!慢慢坐監啦!!

呢條魚真係好攪笑嘅,成日嘟好似好想同你交流咁! 有鑒於此,我就同佢'交流'吓啦~ 哈哈~

...有冇見過一條可以比人任摸嘅魚?!我屋企有條!哈哈!困住 Yoyo 後我同佢'交流'吓用隻手指摸吓佢... 我其實 expect 佢會游開反抗,點知佢無郁仲瞓喺道比我任摸,仲好 enjoy 添!!真係比佢激死!Yoyo 好滑身體冇鱗,摸佢同摸條鱔冇咩分別。

佢個'監倉'。

'監倉'頂部唔係凸出水面好多,所以佢好容易就可以逃獄...

Yoyo 喺守行為時已經逃獄過兩次,我幾經艱苦先捉返佢入去!!

孤單凋零又寂寞!

想逃獄狀,首先喺網邊試探圍牆高度。知道我唔係睇住佢時佢就游上去'啪啪啪啪'(吸水聲),跟住翻牆鼠出去!!

出咗去佢開始放肆駁晒老命追魚!!見邊條追邊條籍此發洩!我睇到扯火!前面那個 decor 就係佢屋企。

呢條絕版 Green Moss Barb 係 Yoyo 追殺嘅其中一個對像...

條魚一定覺得我好蠢,次次嘟可以比佢逃獄成功!今期我將張咭紙放喺佢個監倉上面,仲用粒石仔壓住個頂!睇佢點走!哼~

監禁24小時冇得假釋!!

偶爾佢嘟會有啲朋友嚟探監嘅~~ (下面那條係 Upside down cat)。
