Want Some Moo...

...Cow Frozen Yogurt?

I think it is better than Tutti Frutti, and cheaper too.
Tried that once and never dare to try it anymore. Hate that kinda feeling that you have to control how much you pull down from the machine and how much additional toppings to put on your froyo just to make sure you do not add weight to your cup of froyo.
Frustrating isn't?
t(-_-)t

I personally think that Moo Cow's froyo has better quality, it tastes more like frozen yogurt! 8D

Until then,

Why not...

...have some gingerbread man?
:)

Was busying about the Paper Mate See How It Feels contest lately, just done with the review and finally I can update now!

Gingerbread man...
Hmmm, have not idea if it is really ginger + bread man, what I know is that it is some sort of cookies that are prepared for Christmas. (Isn't it? 0.0 )
Never tried one until few days ago, JayBee bought me one!
8D

See how I slowly torture the gingerbread man!

OKOK!

No posting of gory or violent content!!

I'll stop here!!!
( LOL XD )

Goodnight peeps, Merry Christmas~
:)


Until then,

A left-hander's view: the INK that brings you JOY...

...is the Paper Mate InkJoy pens series.

I wasn't someone who stalks those contests or freebies websites, until that day I lost a competition which required you to collect as much votes online as possible. I felt so ashamed asking around through FB chat and wall posts for votes.

Tried so hard, yet failed.

There is a saying that I always believe in: "期望越高，失望越大", in direct translation, it means the more you expect, the more disappointed you'll feel, and that's is just way too true.

Ok, I strayed too far away from the topic, let's steer back!
:D

So, after that incident, I desperately looking for contests to join and hopefully I win, just to make me feel better i guess?
I found a Paper Mate contest through a freebies website which is rather easy and less arduous to participate.
To join, I had to basically just fill in details and wait with hope to be picked as one of the 200 lucky participants to receive the InkJoy pens full series.
Then, the contest will proceed with the 200 lucky participants producing reviews about the InkJoy series.
(Ok, I deviated once again. -.-)

So one day I got an email and it was in the junk, didn't really bother to check yet I saw Paper Mate and started to wonder, "Oh, there are even people sending phishing mails in the name of Paper Mate? Wow.".
Little did I know it was a legal mail, due to my curiosity, however, I opened the mail and I couldn't believe I won a full set of Paper Mate InkJoy pens!!

This is probably one of the ways Paper Mate ink brings us joy eh?

Joyous InkJoy pens.

I received the parcel one day with a bunch of pens, totaling 32 pens.

The pens came at absolutely the right time, I was too lucky, to have so many pens all of a sudden while sitting for my year 1 first semester finals.
If you are a student, you may understand why would I always bring lots and lots of pens into the exam hall.
Well if you don't really understand: It is because I am afraid that the pen's out of ink, or even worse, it dries out. (=.=)
As a "safety precaution", bring more pens to insure that never happens.



I AM A LEFT-HANDER.

Consequently, I dislike usikng gel pens as that will make the side of my little finger and palm all smeared.
I remember when I was in primary school, I rose up my left hand to ask a question, and the teacher answered, of course, yet irrelevantly, "Wow your hand is that black?". (LOL?)
I don't hate gel pens for its design or functionality, it is good to write with gel pens, just as its name says, GEL. Especially during exams, when you wanna write fast as ideas and answers keep popping out of your head.


I tried, I tried to accept gel pens but because of my hand, I somehow refused to use it and ballpoint pens suit me better.
One thing good about the Paper Mate InkJoy pens series is that they are all my ♥, ball pens!


Let's start off with the Cap Ballpoint Pens:
~ 100 0.5 XF
~ 100 0.7 F

The InkJoy 100 0.5 XF is really smooth. As it is rated XF, which I suppose it means that the ballpoint tip is Super Fine, writing using this can produce sharp words with bright colors. Its radiance definitely complements the XF tip so as to present sharp wordings brilliantly bright.	The InkJoy 100 0.7 F has tip that is slightly bigger than that of the 100 0.5 XF. It is smooth to write with, thus the name Smoothie is given by me. It has a rather simple yet ergonomics design that is nice to grasp.

Look at the differences of the pen bodies and tips between both 100 0.5 XF & 0.7 F:

Notice 0.5 XF has a finer tip? If you are observant, you can see that the stroke drew using 0.5 XF is stronger whereas the another stroke drew with the 0.7 F looks silkier and smoother.

Let's continue with the Retractable Ballpoint Pens:
~ 100 RT 0.5 XF
~ 100 RT 0.7 F

These are actually just the retractable (RT) versions of those with caps.
Having said that, the caps not only function to protect the tips of pens, also, it can be used during emergency:

Well, this is what I call IMPROVISATION.

                                 Before                                         After

An emergency hair clip to hold your fringe in place during exam or when writing!
:D


The next range would be the Retractable + Metallic Clip Pens:

~ 300 RT 0.5 XF
~ 300 RT 0.7 F
~ 300 RT 1.0 M

Still, the 0.5 XF and 0.7 F pens of this range are still the same as the previously mentioned range, the only difference is the feature, that is the additional metallic clips. Ergo, this range offers more aesthetic value than the 100 and 100 RT ranges.

Hey Hey Hey!!!
There are more colors! Look!

Shoooooooooooo nice no?
(^_^)

My favorite is anything related to blue:

Lastly, the range with most aesthetics, the Retractable Medium Black Body Pens:
~ 700 RT 1.0 M

Pens of this range are the most "handsome" ones among all with solid black body and metallic clips.

Both two pens in the picture above are of different colors.

"HOW YOU KNOW? (0_0) ", you may ask.

Here:

Yes, from top view, the blue one is the blue pen! (Special no?)

Every different range of Paper Mate pens shares one similarity, mind to guess?

Clue's here:

              

Got it?
It's the signature twin hearts that stamp the identity of Paper Mate pens!


Let's see now what I've brought with me into the exam hall.
Before exam started:

During the exam:

InkJoy is with me till the end.
:') (touch touch~)

I am making this picture so big because it is not easy to take pictures in the exam hall and YES I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF AND THIS IS A PIECE OF TREASURE!

Attached below is a summary I made based on the pens Paper Mate Malaysia delivered to me:

Paper Mate is also selling InkJoy pens in packets in accordance with the Back 2 School In Style contest I believe:

Here are the prices based on Times bookstore:

~ 300 RT 1.0 M (RM 4.20)

~  100 0.5 XF (RM 3.80)



~  100 0.7 F (RM 3.80)


Went to Kepong Jusco Popular one day and I've checked out the selling prices for individual pens:








I recommend this series of pens to all left-handers because these pens are almost as smooth as gel pens, albeit I still personally prefer ballpoint pens over gel pens but gel pens are really smooth to write with given that the ink is in a form of water-based gel.
We, the left-handers can write fast without having to worry about our hands and papers getting smeared with Inkjoy pens. (Cheers!)
InkJoy pens are on par with gel pens, an ideal companion in the exam hall, my opinion as a left-hander!
:D

One last picture to end this seemingly endless post:

Need good grades, need good pens.

Need good pens?

Paper Mate InkJoy it is.

Thanks a lot for the patience!
