And I got drunk. And spouted alot of nonsense....

Celebration 3:
Ate dinner with Mom, Dad and bf.

Bro surprised me with gifts on my table by the time I reached home.

What Kind of Singaporean Are You??

2012-02-17T18:22:00.007+08:00

Hello people!

As stated from the title, yes. Today we are gonna talk about how Singaporean you are. Yes. You, you, and you over there.

So. Has anyone heard about "It's My Turn"?? (http://itsmyturn.sg/)

It is an online quiz that helps analyse what kind of a Singaporean you are! Also, it's mad accurate. Really very, very accurate. I shall keep you in suspense, you'll see why later.

I went to http://itsmyturn.sg/, and I was welcomed by this cute web!
The layout's mad awesome btw!

'Ever wondered what type of Singaporean you are?'

*clicks on take the quiz*

There's a total of 10 qns I faced... Alot of words, so I will try to make this as readable/colourful as possible

Qns 1: When I talk....

Qns 2: What is your favourite singlish phrase?

Qns 3: Do you live to eat or eat to live?
Tricky question.

Qns 4: My favourite hawker centre is...

Qns 5: A movie I've been waiting for opens tomorrow..

Qns 6: You see a fight break out while you're out with your kakis. You...

THEY EVEN USED THE WORD KAKIS! Super Singaporean indeed!

Qns 7: Having kids is..

Qns 8: What will you do if there's a flood?
Everybody, SCREAM!!!! Okay kidding, there's no such choice in the option.

Qns 9: Weekends are..

Qns 10: When guys get called for reservist/ICT.

And then you're done!!!! Really to load to the results, and a bar appears.

*LOADING*

You can login via facebook, or sign up an account! By doing so, you are entitled to countless times of retries!

By retrying, they really meant different questions! Different questions was asked when I tried the second time, and then.......

The results was accurate!

It says I'm a Complain among my friends Singaporean

GUGU GAGA: Having to chance my routine
Ultimate Foodie: If you could, you would work for Makansutra
Say it like it is: You're a Singaporean who speaks his/her mind very often
Chill Pill: Take a break, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

ALL CORRECT, I chance my routine alot. I eat alot. I eat almost everything new, everything famous. ME LOVE FOOD.
I often talk nonsense and stuffs that I want to say w/o thinking, and offend quite a few people.
"Balance work and play", is what i always say. Like always. If you are my friends in real life, you would know. I keep blabbering non stop about this 'you must have a balance lifestyle between work and play' thing.

Way to go http://itsmyturn.sg!
You totally got my personality all right! Like the first time, for online quizzes. So friends, you can all go try it out!

Even if it doesn't seem to be that accurate for you, you can always hit the button.

YES. Try again ^^

Then you can share it on facebook to show off.

Log on to http://itsmyturn.sg/ now, and let the personality in you unveil!

CNY FOTD 2012

2012-02-17T17:44:00.001+08:00

Hello people!

I know Chinese New Year had passed for quite some time. But still, I have to say- Happy Chinese New Year!

Spent it with bf, family and friends.

So here's the FOTD :D

My aunt's house is at the 19th floor. Super windy.

Lion Dance at temple with bf and his family. Just so happen that I was there when they started.
I caught abit of the Shaolin monk's martial arts show, but it was too crowded for me to reach for my phone. Like srsly crowded.

Using oranges to peel 4 numbers for 4D. And speaking of that.. I am finally legal to buy 4D! HAHA. I will be posting about my birthday celebration, say. After I consolidate all the presents.

This Chewly chocolate wafer stick that I ate at Steve's Bro's house is mad awesome. Too delicious to stop. I nearly finish the whole tin. :x

Greenwich V Opening

2012-02-14T02:41:00.001+08:00

Hello people!

On 10th, which is days ago, a new shopping mall at Seletar opened!

Yes! Greenwich V! :D

Okay before I start, disclaimer: The pics are super blurry, some really confusing. I didn't really thought the event will be so chaotic, like there will be public and all. So hope you don't mind, and enjoy reading! :D

I got to have a chance to attend to the opening ceremony as an invited guest together with bf, thanks to omy.sg!

Arrived the event and it was so packed!

It's a two storey high shopping centre :D

There were many mascots, perfomances and baloon sculptures, together with free popcorns, ice creams, candy floss, and bazzar!

Super spectacular sight, and I jumped straight to the 2nd floor cause the 1st floor was too crowded to have pics taken.

The food that was prepared.

Many stalls selling handmade stuffs.

Paradise Inn having 50% off! I'm not too sure if the sale is still on, but nevertheless you can still book a table and have your Valentine's Day dinner there!

Fountain.

Even the stairs are so beautifully decorated!

Home-fix is situated there too!

Free sand art/ stick on tatoo

Cheap and nice art deals!

Wheel of fortune with every purchase

This is what I was talking about- the free popcorns! I managed to wait till the queue gets shorter and snapped a pic :D

Tables for guests to dine.

There's Coffee Bean there too!

Balloons let off as the opening ceremony commence.

Look at the number of people there! Oh wait, I can't count them, so it's amount of people.

Clown ever ready for a shot.

He even let the children play with his crops!

And as the whole ceremony went on, the crowd grew bigger and it became impossible to wait and queue with our grumpy stomachs. SO we went Empire State to eat!

They got Bf and I a table..

Our starters.

Coke for the boy.

And a whole chicken for $15.90 only! The meat is super tender, and the sauce is awesome! Go try it one day okay, guarantee worth it.

The MCs on stage.

And finally we got tired after all the walking, and we went down to level one! This is how the main entrance looks like.

You see the Toast box there? They have free shuttle bus to and from Yio Chu Kang Mrt there!

They also have a few places where the shuttle bus will go. You can see from here: http://www.greenwichv.com.sg/index.aspx?key=shuttlebus

This is the goodie bag I got!

Prima Deli bread.

Vinegar

Coffee Bean Tiramisu Sweet

Kaya from Toast Box

Nuts and Nibble

Fruit Medley from Cedele

A grenwich V car sticker

Tumbler! :D

The above items, I presume are from the shop leasing in Greenwich V.
So now you know, they have the above mentioned shops there!

But if you want to know more details, you can click here D:

If you really love this two storey high shopping centre and wish to live near there, you could actually! They have a new condo, right beside it, which is in the midst of building now! You can take a look at it too newly wed couples!

Nails for CNY!

2012-02-07T03:03:00.000+08:00

Hello people!

Got my nails done by Shernails!

They aren't my sponsor, and this advert is NOT PAID.
I just find that the manicurists there are super skillful, and they charge a very cheap price!

The one that I had done was Gelish Nails, and there's a 3D Art on each hand, a drawn picture on each hand, together with 3 jewels on each of the other fingers!
It only cost $66! Super cheap right!

Previously when I went to do Gelish Extensions, the manicurist from another place actually made my nails damn painful. I shall not reveal which shop, but this current shop doesn't! That's why I recommend this!

Below are the pics of my hands!!

My left hand

And with flash! So awesome right!

Right hand's even better

Look at the 3D ribbon! Mad love

Do leave a comment or contact me if you are interested, and I could help you fix an appointment date and go down with you!

Maybelline's New Launch- BB Mousse

2012-02-01T15:00:00.000+08:00

Hello people!

There's another new launch from Maybelline last December!

It is the Maybelline Pure BB Mineral Mousse!

Thank you Zoe for sending me all the stuffs from Maybelline to review :D

This is me before applying the BB Mousse:

It is super convenient to use, as I just need to press the spray, and the Mousse will ooze out!
It has also tiny air bubbles in between to allow air to be within, and after application, your skin can still 'breathe'!

The best part is, it is a 8-in-1 product!

8 benefits of this product:

Hydrates in depth
Brightens skin tone
Leaves skin suppler
Smoothens out pores
Lifts dullness
Reduces redness
Redefines skin texture
Protects skin against UV rays with SPF 30/PA +++

After applying Maybelline BB Mousse:

Now you can have pretty nude face, all in just ONE step!

BB Cream is good, and the revolutionary mousse is awesome!

2012-01-26T17:57:00.000+08:00

Hello ladies!

Received a bag of sponsored items by Lactacyd last month, and I didn't have the time to blog about it.

The items were packed nicely in a hot pink recycled bag!

The whole product comes in 2 sizes, big and small.
It also has a travel pack that looks like wet tissue- super convenient to bring out!

Their official website: http://www.lactacyd-info.com/lal/cp/en/index.jsp

Like them on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vzonecare.lactacydsg

Lactacyd is definitely my choice! They are far better than other brands!

Gift Exchange @ Taka 2011

2012-01-18T14:30:00.000+08:00

:D:D

Going on with my 2011 updates, the gift exchange event for x'mas!

Okay, not say really an 'event', colleagues and I were exchanging presents, taking photos in Taka during our breaktime. :D

Random yummy chewy nougat I bought at ION. No bluff you, they are super yums!

A gift from one of my readers!

Remember I was holding the giveaway for the month of Dec in celebration of X'mas?? I met up with one of the giveaway winners, and she gave me this!
So, super sweet!

She even asked me to cheer up! She said 'wa your facebook always so sad, cheer up k?'

*melts*

So, back to the gift exchange at Taka, we drew lots, and here are the photos of the 'giver' and 'receiver'!

Enqi >>> Me

Debbie >>> Si Hui

Zhong Xuan >>> Natalie

Si Hui >>> Zhong Xuan

Perisa >>> Serene

Balqis >>> Enqi

Serene >>> Balqis

Spot the guy in blue wearing glasses?? He wasn't there during the drawing of lots, so we all shared a gift for him! - His fave monkey plushie.

Deb and I had a separate exchange, so a pic of us! :D:D

Disclamer: Everyone looks so weird in the pics. I swear is the stupid taka lighting, and the stupid 5mp lousy iphone camera :x

Teeth Whitening Experience by Fabulous Smile

2012-01-18T02:16:00.000+08:00

Hello!

After having to pluck up my courage, I decided to blog on my recent teeth whitening experience!

Firstly, I have to thank Peggy for letting me have the chance to have pretty teeth, Fabulous Smile for the kind sponsorship, and Jann for helping me take pictures throughout the treatment!

The shop was situated opp Bugis Junction (super easy to locate) and it has parking lots for people that drives!

Jann and I entered the shop, and the staffs greeted us with a wide smile! :D

Here's ONE pic of the treatment.

YES, YES. Super unglam, I know. That's why I only post one pic :x
And it's gonna be extra small.

Jann took like a whole lot of them, but srsly, they are too ugly to be blogged!! :(

Thank god I didn't bring my bf along, else he would be there to witness the whole process of my mouth opened widely.

Let me briefly explain the whole procedure.

1. They would hand you a mirror and show you the shade of your teeth before treatment, and would tell you roughly how it will be aftermath.

2. Apply gel on your lips (your mouth will be in that whole 'widely-opened' posture for an hour)

3. Add the sponge to absorb your saliva

4. Do a bit of scraping (just in case you ate before the treatment)

5. Suck away the remaining dirt and saliva from your mouth.

By now it would be 15 min, no pain yet.

6. Applying of blue gel on each of your teeth. No pain

7. Shining of UV on your teeth for 15 min.

From this part onwards, there will be a bit of tingling sensation, like as if you have sensitive teeth, and you ate ice cream. Bearable, but it gets more and more 'painful' throughout.

8. Sucking of the gel from your teeth and saliva. A bit of pain experienced, but not as painful as 7.

The whole process of 6-8 will repeat for thrice, 15 minutes each.

9. Guggle all the gel away!

And... TADA!

My pretty teeth after the treatment!

The shade difference for my teeth

They even gave me a membership card!

Equipments used

Now I can have white pretty teeth too!! :D:D

X'mas 2011 with family!

2012-01-18T01:42:00.000+08:00

Hello people!

This post was super back dated. I thought I posted it, but it's still stuck in my drafts! Please bear with me this few days, cause I will be blogging all the adverts, reviews and stuffs going on in my life for the year 2011. Yes, I know I know. It's already 2012, but O' Levels last year had stolen most of my time away!

And so.....

Last year x'mas, I went out with my family, tgt with bf and junhui to Sakura to eat, and watch MI4!

This was the weather that day- stormy.

Playing with my camera..

The bf and I!

We ordered so much food, that we couldn't finish!!

My mom with her new hairdo- highlight + dye + reborn. SUPER LIAN.

She walked past me at the buffet area, and I thought 'wa, who's this ahlian?'
:x

Random baby at the table next to us. She's damn hyper.

I skipped the pic of the food on the table mainly cause we made a mess from the whole area!

Now of to desserts.

My artwork.
:D

Bro and jh had sprinkles on their cup and had a hard time eating their icecream!

A family photo before we leave the place! :D

"WE LOVE SAKURA!"

Gifts from gift exchange with bro and his gf: CHOCOLATES!

Bf gave me a silver bracelet. I haven't wore it till now :x

Keeping the best things for CNY :D:D

Hello people!!

As the title suggest, it's gonna be my birthday soon! (3rd Feb- write it down somewhere, NOW!!)

My birthday wishlist:

1. Nikon J1
2. MacBook Air
3. Blackberry 9990 (I know I know, I just changed a new BB :( )
4. Melody stuffs like DVD player and tv
5. Burberry bag
6. Walk-in cupboard
7. Make up drawer (my current one has no more space left!)
8. Make up stuffs :D

And so many more!!!!!!

Hehe. Dear I know you are looking at this. Now u get a clearer picture of what I want. *hint hint*

Lastly I wish that there will be world peace, 2012 will not be the last year of my life; our life, my family to be happy, and everyone that loves will to stay healthy and rich.

:D Special thanks to people whom had been by my side: Mom, Dad, Aunt, Cousins, Bro, bf. Deb, Jann, Nicollette, and many many more. Me love love you all!!

Reason why I haven't been blogging

Recently, there have been a lot on my mind, that's also one of the reasons why I didn't blog that often as I should. I know I do have a lot of adverts that has yet to be blogged, but I just don't have the mood to.

My grandpa passed away. It's sad, for me. But I still have to put up a strong front in front of my friends, and family. My grandma passed away in 2009, which is like 'three' years ago in April.
My grandpa said to my grandma (her lingwei I mean) that he wanted to live another two more years, to look after their kids (my mom and aunts) before he go to her company.

He was struggling at the hospital, eversince 2011 April I think, till 2 days ago, he went away. That left my mom, and everybody else in the family crying. We knew that he would leave, we know they would.

I want to say, ah gong, ah ma, I miss you, dearly..

Another reason why I haven't been blogging. My O Level results is releasing soon! I have to go to TP's scholarship showcase, and then take my results on Monday!
Wish me luck okay?

Sorry my readers. I will blog soon. Really.

<< 回忆 >> Event at HUBS

2012-01-03T15:00:00.000+08:00

Hello!

I was invited to an event at HUBS which is situated at SIA Sports Club!
It was the first ever techno club/bar that I went to. Through out the whole night, songs that was our fave durin 2006 was played. I could only understand 2 songs, one was a Thai song, and another a R&B!

Kinda disappointed though, cause they do not sell shots.
The best part- they don't sell tibits nor beers!

The complimentary shots that was given per entry.
And that's the question. They gave complimentary shots, but they don't sell them?? :(

Their menu, that is so limited.

How to be slim

2012-01-03T05:05:00.001+08:00

Hello!

Was looking at a tv show, nv ren wo zui da (Taiwan Variety show) and they were talking about how to be slim and all!

So this was the video that I took, right from my bf's tv. There would be chinese subtitles, so basically, you could just turn off the volume of the video! Too many background noise, so I think you couldn't be able to hear the lady talking even if you want to :x

Hmm okay. I know the video kind of confusing, so let me do a short write-up to explain the video above!

The lady was actually saying that usually, when we are at home, or outside, we tend to slough, and it would make our tummy bulge and be fatter. (This video would be most suitable for ladies that are generally slim, but have big tummies.)

She was doing this '3 min' exercise that we all could do while we are watching the tv, or even at home waiting for our masks to dry! :D

Just follow the steps as shown, and play some slow, smoothing music to help you count your beat!

Goodluck and feedback to me on how it works k?? I'm actually doing this at home too :x

The very last post of 2011

2011-12-31T17:57:00.001+08:00

Hello everyone! The whole year of 2011 went past us in the blink of an eye. Leaving behind with us all the good memories, and also the bad ones..

In 2012, I want things to be better, and I hope it would be for all of us. The single ones to find their other half, the attached ones to be happier and cherish their bf/gf more!

My new year resolution would be:

• To maintain my weight
• Learn to be strong
• Work hard in poly (hopefully if I manage to get in)
• Be more focused on what I want to do
• Treat my family better
• Sleep earlier at night
• Earn more $
• Read more
• Hit more readers for my blog

I met alot of new friends, contacted back some old ones. But all I learnt and realized was, they will always be there. Some.

Thank you friends, for being with me, at the worst point of my life.

So I hope that we would all remember to put a smile on our faces, stop frowning, be kinder to everybody else, and show more love!!!

LET'S WELCOME 2012 TGT WITH OPEN ARMS!!!!!!!

Review: Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara

2011-12-30T16:41:00.001+08:00

Hello people!

This post was kinda back dated, and I feel so bad for only posting it now.

Few months ago, I received this bag of Maybelline goodies to review!

Maybelline has 3 new launches! But I would be posting one product at a time. :D

Basically, this is the first product that I got my hands on, and I was amazed but what it can do! :D

The Maybelline Falsies Mascara!

The exclusive Spoon Curler brush is designed to fan out every single lash and creates a better press and curl.

Look at the brush! Not only will it lengthen the eyelash, it will also increase the volume of it!

Most imptly.... It has the one important factor that we girls look out for when we purchase a mascara- WATERPROOF. Not only to rain, but to tears too!

Okay enough of theories. Now let's put the mascara to test! :D

Took pictures of my full make-up eye twice, and once without The Maybelline Falsies, and one with it!

My eyes closed

Eyes opened.

Looking down.

My eyelashes after applying mascara really look like I wore fake eyelashes!
Now, this explains the name for the mascara- The Falsies

This mascara is so good, to the extend that there won't be clumps of mascara stuck on my eyes!

Now I can have long and thick eyelashes, without having to go through the tedious routine of putting glue, letting glue dry, pasting it on my eye, securing it and apply mascara again.

All of those, done in ONE STEP!

Maybelline The Falsies had launched in stores in December 2011 and retailing at $20.90.

Review: LUSH Mask of Magnaminty

2011-12-27T20:24:00.000+08:00

Hello! If you guys have been reading my blog, you would know that I am now super addicted to buying LUSH Products! They are opened in Singapore mid-dec, and till now, batches of fresh handmade cosmetics were sold out!

See what I mean? Got people buy- means very good product!

Okay.. Not actually. I did my research, and I tried all(almost all) the testers in the shop, before deciding if I should buy the product! :D

They have shops and franchises in a total of 42 countries, + their 43rd, in Singapore!

So today, I am gonna review on one of their 'oh-so-popular' product: Mask of Magnaminty!

It cost about.... $22 if I'm not wrong!

Here's how it looks like, once you applied it on!

Yes, as usual, I clumsily forgot to take a pic of the before, so no before and after comparison!

How to use:

But I do swear by Mask of Magnaminty!

It has a nice peppermint smell, and it tightens skin, so no more saggy face already!
You can even put it in the fridge to make it feel cool and nice on your face, but even w/o putting into the fridge, the cooling effect is enough to prep up your face!

Even after washing the mask off, I still can feel that sensation on my skin!
My whole face really tightens, and it is smoother instantly!

This. Works. Like. Magic.

X'mas eve 2011

2011-12-25T04:40:00.000+08:00

HELLO EVERYBODY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I went Town today, and it was mad crowded. I mean, super crowded. Like human jam.

Bf and I arrived in the evening, and thus we walked around first. Super impossible to walk around in that state though. JAM WAS KILLING US.

The htc globe!!

We bought x'mas hats from Daiso, and u see the badge we were wearing?? Will tell you more later! :D:D

Hehehe. Why he so cute *faints*

*stands up* *look* *shy* *faints*

And then at around 9pm, Chanel joined us, and of course, we must take pic!

By the time it reached 11pm, it started to rain! That was the crowd at Cine. Yes, just cine alone. It was even more crowded from Ion all the way to Mandarin Gallery!!!!!

Tada! This was the thing on our chest! It's lights, that will blink!

Super creative for x'mas! There was even the one that was attached to rubberbands, and you can tie it on your hair! But that one was oos :(

Then Nico came to join us, followed by Arena. But we didn't took pic with her! TOOOOOOOOO chaotic liao :x

We took many failed pics, and in the end, we got strangers to help us take pic! Hehe,
Finally one successful one! :D

My gifts from friends!!!! :D:D

Thank you Debbie, Natalie, Hui Xian, Mavis, RynaQUE, Enqi and one of my lovely reader! :D

Once again,

Merry X'mas! :D

X'mas rant from the sick girl

2011-12-25T03:06:00.000+08:00

It was pretty much of a bad x'mas eve. Like the worst one I've ever had.

First, I brought a bag w/o a proper zip to town, knowing that I will get sprayed.Then, I wore heels that are near to breaking apart. X'mas hat that I bought are too small for my head.

It rained after that. I got left behind by the group, tgt with chanel, and we got thoroughly wet in the rain, and drenched with snow sprays. Lost spray out of nowhere. And then headache because my fever came back. I'm now having a fever of like 39.0 degree celcius.Left town with 3 of the guys, (bf included) and then one of our friends lost his wallet.Looker's at geylang only allow one person from each group to be w/o ic, and he has no ic now, so it's left with me w/o again.

So. The 2nd time in the month where I got bounced out. Freaking nice, never had been bounced out by clubs/bar/disco in my whole damn life. Then just now, I have to cab back from geylang, alone. Yes. In a stupid comfort (not comfy at all) cab, with all the increase in charge and all, ALONE.

So I'm a sick girl now, alone at home without anyone's company on a x'mas night.

Then while I was bathing, my dad actually off the lights, cause he thought no one was home. Like. I went home, and I said hi to him, but he didn't see me? :(

I want to do a x'mas video.. But I guess, it can only be done tmr....

Hello!

I'm kinda bored today, having fever and I have to stay home. So I'm gonna blog some interesting fact about my bf! Haha

For those who had seen my bf in rl before, should know that he looks like Jay Park! Srsly it not a really big compliment, cause neither of us like him. At all.

But here's another one that many people say my bf looks like: Vanness Wu!

This guy is drop dead gorgeous, and I don't deny that at certain angle, my bf really does look like him! HAHA.

Looking like Vanness is so much better than looking like Jay Park. 1000000x better

Hauls: LUSH, Praise, Daiso

2011-12-16T00:52:00.001+08:00

Hello people!

As you guys know. (That is if you followed me on twitter) I have been working! Hehe.

But working at Town also means- shopping after work.

I knocked off at around 6pm every weekday, and thus I have been walking around almost everywhere in Town everyday!

Here's the hauls recently..

Praise:
30% off, which is $49.50 for 2 pcs of green tag items! (Don't worry, most of the nice tees are on green tags!)

This is their so called 'gift wrapping'

The two tees I bought for bf!

And then I went daiso to buy some working stuffs.......

$2 socks :D

Soap cover for my LUSH Scrub.

I went to LUSH! And fell madly in love with their products. You will see why later. OMG. As I'm typing, I could smell the shop *drama*

80 pcs of wet tissue. Cause somehow, I realised that the watson's wet tissue in a bundle is insufficient for me. Okay, very auntie, I know. :X

LUSH has a physical shop is SG now!

Mad happy okay. And I would walk pass it everyday. Before I go to work, lunch break, and even after I knock off from work!

So here are some of the stuffs I bought from them.

Their cute paper bag!

Super eco-friendly okay. They didn't used plastic, and also, they even stated the importance of recycling! :D

My skin are dry, so I bought the Aqua mirabius body butter! It has exfoliating & mosturising effect!

I tried it a few times on my body, and it smells awesome!

It also contributes a layer of 'oil' on the surface of my skin, and I need not apply lotion after bathing anymore! ^^

That was also the reason why I need to buy a soap cover from Daiso. It cannot be wet, cause it's a scrub!

Lips Scrub.
I bought the one that has Peppermint Chocolate, and I'm sad to say that they are sold out!

No worries, you can always go to their facebook page and check it out :D
They will update their wall once they stock up an item
FB: https://www.facebook.com/LushSingapore

Items from LUSH that I am sooooo, soooo tempted to buy *hints for xmas present*

Ocean salt facial scrub
Mask of magnaminty
Cupcake- chocolate heaven

The friendly sales girl actually let me tested on most of the items.

Will review on it soon, and let you guys know which are the best products to buy!

But so far, I swear by Aqua mirabius body butter!!!

SMRT Makan Session with ieatishootipost

2011-12-13T00:24:00.000+08:00

Hello!!

Thank you Nuffnang for extending the invite, bf and I got to go to Buona Vista to makan with ieatishootipost and the fellow bloggers!

Picture credit: http://www.nuffnang.com.sg/smrt-makan-session/#top

Had group photo taken, which I still cannot find on Nuffnang, so I will post it up when they uploaded it up, and gave me permission to kope!!

On our way walking. I was busy talking pics, so I was sort of at the back of the line..

And the place we ate at: Spice Peranakan!

They had delicately set up everything in buffet style, for our convenience!

The food that I took. It was super yums!

Okay. This pic was taken before we had our mini lesson with Dr. Leslie Tay (who is also the official food blogger for: http://ieatishootipost.sg/)

And then we started off eating!!

And then the introduction of the food, ingredients and all about peranakan!

Hehe okay. I will introduce you to the food later. Be patient okay! ^^

Dr Leslie Tay coaching us on basic photography with the food on display..

The lady boss holding the papaya! *candid*

First. The papaya and dried shrimp- Papaya Titek!

No oil was used in the making, and only semi-ripe(green on the outside only) papayas was used!

It tastes like..... papaya. With a touch of spicy :D
Indescribably nice, and unforgetable.

The second dish: Ikan Tanban- fried baby sardine

It's the crispy kind of sardine, and all the nutrients(body parts) are not removed from the fish! Full absorption of Vitamin B12! http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=147

It's cripsy, a little spicy but it doesn't stink of fish! Awesome, yet easy to chew.

Third dish: Chap Chye- mixed vegetables

Yes. It is the one that we always orded. The mixed vege in curry.

But this has a total of 10 veges in it! It's really chap chye (10 vege in hokkien).
And the special thing is that the sauce is not Curry, but fermented beans!

The veges taste just right together with the sauce. At first I was doubting this dish by the looks of it, but after the first bite of the carrot, I couldn't help but get a second serving!!

Fourth: Satay Ayam- Chicken in satay sauce

It has real satay sauce in it, with slight Coconut milk and chilli in it!

Wa.. Thinking of it makes me drool already. The meat is so tender!

Fifth: Curry Fish

You think that this is the normal curry fish we eat outside?? No! It has coconut milk in it too, like the Satay Ayam, but this has their specially picked belacan!

Sixth dish: Kueh Salat- Coconut custard

Rich in coconuts, totally handmade!

And then we went off to take some pics again..

And the last dish, which is the best dish! (Also Dr Leslie Tay's favorite.)

Ayam Goreng!

It is made from the whole chicken leg, marinated in onion caramel, and finally nicely cut by the chefs after cooking!

It is fried. But the meat is still very tender!

As for the sauce, it's made from onions, but it doesn't have any stinky onions smell! (I hate onions)

Also, they were so thoughtful, and provided Tea! There was iced water too :D

Quoted from the lady boss:

The Peranakans believe in 'loses juice in blender' and thus they don't use blender for any of the marinating process!
They do not include MSG, and instead, they added in Belacan for the flavor!
Everything made fresh, no frozen ingredients were used.

Slow fire in the process of making, and no oil should be added.

And there you have it- the tasty, healthy Peranakan food!

Below is a newspaper article in their shop, featuring the lady boss' son!

He specialises in Sotong!

His husband:

Specialising in making desserts!

A pic to add for fans of ieatishootipost!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking a tour around the shop!

*moo*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giveaway time!

We were supposed to take a test about SMRT Circle Line and Peranakans. The fastest and most accurate answers win!

Fastest two gets a Churpchurp plushie :)

*ahh so cute*

And I won myself a prize from SMRT!
Ahh.. That's the best pic I can get out of my cam. Bright sunlight, couldn't really pose well :(:(

Some even won books from him!!!

ME WANTS TOOOOOOOOOOO!

With his autograph some more.
*bangs wall*

And then we even got a goodie bag!

Before wrapping up for the day, the Nuffnang and Churpchurp peeps took a pic with me!

They were so friendly!! :D:D

HAHAHAH Unwrapping time!

This is the goodie bag that everyone got, including bf and I.

Sticky! "I love Circleline"

Colour Pencils, in this cute wood box!

Pen/Highlight.
It's made of recycled material!

Hehe, not forgetting my love!! :D:D

I unwrapped my gift from SMRT that I won, and to my surprise, it is........

Mad love SHE since I was young. I had all of their albums, all the way. Till recently, I stopped collecting them!

Cab fare- lastest news

2011-12-12T23:40:00.001+08:00

Okay hello people! As you know, the revised cab fare starts today.

I went to sit a cab too, at around 11pm. It was still peak period at 25%, and my usual metre of $5.60 became $7.29.

YES, 29 cents.

That's not the worst yet.. Normally when you buy stuffs, they would round down the amount, just so that they won't charge the additional few cents.
But as for this revised cab fare, they round up, and thus my final metre fare was actually $7.30.

And so, the story is..

The starting fare for cabs is $3.20. But if you were to take a cab during their 'peak hour', it would be $3.20 + $0.80 = $4. YES. STARTING METRE FARE.

And then for every 400m for the first 10km, you are charged $0.22. After which, it would be $0.22 for every 350m.

Waiting time (traffic jam, red lights)- $0.22 for every 45sec.

And then if you go pass the ERP gantry, you will be charged another $1.

*this applies not only on weekdays (like before), but EVERYDAY

So people, do think about it. Would you still want to take a cab?!?!?!

SMRT is also increasing their prices next week

Cigarette pipe that my bro bought for bf and I. He couldn't find any melody there! *sad*

Necklace that he bought for me too! Super cool, it's like permanently attached to the chain, unlike other necklaces that uses pendant!

I'm a very careless person, so this actually keeps my pendant in place. So sweet of him lo!

2011-12-03T07:44:00.000+08:00

Hello people! X'mas is round the corner already. I'm so excited as I see the pretty xmas trees outside shopping malls.

Do you know that I always wanted to dress up as a Santarina?

It was just a normal day whereby bf and I would get a cup of Starbucks and sit around to have some heart to heart talks.

But before that, I went Fancl to collect my items for the upcoming review! The poor bf have to tag around. Poor him :(

This is the xmas tree found outside Century Square ^^

Random shots taken from the smoking area...

And then we went to the Starbucks sitting area! Bf said he had a good hair day, and decided to pose for my camera! :D:D

The effect is damn cool!

Speaking of effects.. Should I get a Lumix LX5, or Nikon 1 J1?

ALSO. Should I get a ringlight?? But where? OMG so excited for xmas and new year already. All the new presents and new clothes. ^^v

My hair before visiting hair secrets.
*secretly in love with my new hair colour*

Another pic! :D

Then we met up with Jy and Alvin, and headed to Cine for <<2359>>!

Random streetlights and deco I took along the way. Alvin drives really fast, and I couldn't get any good shots from where I sat in the car! :'(

See xmas feel everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!

Really, really love xmas. Cause got so many pretty streetlights all around! Reminds me about fireworks and magic shows!

Heard that the Xmas tree outside Ngee Ann City got burnt a few days ago? I went there the subsequent day, but didn't see anything!
Omg Santa, I hope you are fine, and will still bring me some presents! :D

I be my dreamy santarina and bring you presents every week for this month!

Hey hello people!! As you can see from my previous posts, I got my hair dyed!! :D

Done it at Hair Secrets!

The process was painful, but not as pain as bleaching..

So here's my hair before:

Tom, my hairstylist was super cute.

He went "eh come, must take before and after pic one. I take for you. Turn, turn, turn"

*snap snap snap*

And tadaaaa! Here's my hair after! Okay I didn't perm my hair, and I know it looks weird here. Pardon the toilet as bg, I couldn't find any better place. :x

Found it hard to accept at first, but after that, it was superb! Love the colour alot!

Good food!

2011-11-18T05:40:00.000+08:00

Hello people!
Met up with Jy, james and bf and had dinner over at Jy's house!

Tadaaa. Scallop. Too many already.

The porridge in the midst of cooking

James: 'do not, take a photo of me'

Jy: 'aiya, why so long one'

Finally, it's boiling!!!

*adds in secret recipe*

Scrambled egg! Taste better than mcd's.

Even better with pepper!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scallop was so much that we finished all the porridge, and has scallop as leftovers.

And then we were exploring jy's dog's clothes!
There's like a whole cabinet of them! Can you believe it?

His raincoat

Mini suit!

Pampered like an Emperor..

*ahhh*

He hugs the bolster like a baby, and lies on the pillow!

There was a big 'lightening storm' that night.....

It was raining cats and dogs soon after. But the sky was so pretty! Love the purple lightnings :D

Plane off to China, family at airport; to SPCA

2011-11-17T00:35:00.000+08:00

Hello! Hmm this post is filled with warmth and love.
My bro went China previously with school!

Hehe, so fortunate right? But this isn't the best school can provide yet. My previous school, Bedok View actually provided graduating students to a Germany trip!

Although my history teacher did promise the class before, but I doubt she will bring us there, it's November already! :(

So we were at the airport at about 6+ am, tgt with the parents of these students.

Everyone was so nervous, and even the Vice Principal and Principal came along!

Took a picture tgt, with the banner from school and principal (the one in red/purple)

Tadaa.. WIth the teachers, and the Vice Principal on the extreme right.

My bro's flight tix! Suaku take one pic.

A group photo before bro check in! See, my bro popular okay!

Haha, rdm photo taken. My mom loves flowers.

This. IS cool! It looks like just any normal picture or an airport, but it's actually made out of Legos! You know the lego that we played with when we were young??

Posing with the flowers.. I look kinda awkward here.

Spring Onion!

A close up to let you guys have a clearer look. This is White Jade! Yes, those 'jade' as in what ahmas would wear.
Unique!

Gigantic windmill

And then we were off to Kopitiam to have our breakfast!
Mabel bought Ego Marshmallow, and then I spotted this:

Twin Mallows! Super cute! I wonder if it was intentionally packed like that, or by mistake.

Crown Plaza- it's a hotel.

The menu.

And an act artsy shot of the Magazines!

Blooming Red Flower at the table in the Hotel Lobby

AHA! Guess what is this???

I call it, the mountain of grapes. XD

This is on the ceiling, supposedly for decoration purposes, but idk why there are leaves there.

Look at that luggage bag! It's a panda!

Does this resemble the Twitter whale?!
'Sorry but we are overcapacity right now'

My mom was like 'eh wait up, I want to take pic first'

And then I said, 'aiya, lai, I take for you'

We visited various bookstores, perfumes/cosmetics store!

Walked from T2 to T3 to T1 then back to T2! Mom and dad left soon after, and the rest of us continued our journey to SPCA!

Super cute dog, he's a Cross Breed, and is only 2 months old!

*smells*

'Hmm, this looks fun!'
He kept playing with this red lanyard, and couldn't even bother to look at us!

*potential furniture eater*

This is a poor dog. He was abused by his previous owner. Even till now, it still affects him. He would be quiet at times, and then he would bark suddenly!

How sad right?!??! Curse that previous owner.

PS: If you wna adopt a pet, you can head to SPCA! :)

So excited and happy for my brother that he has made his Debut in sitting on an airplane!

We have had many chances to do so when we were younger, but the stupid 911 and SQ006 made me have a phobia towards taking the plane. We should have gone to Taiwan, Japan, Australia, US, and many more countries lo! :(

A song to remember

2011-11-10T02:03:00.000+08:00

I still remember the look on your face

Lit through the darkness at 1:58

The words that you whispered

For just us to know

Told me you loved me

So why did you go away?

Away?

I do recall now the smell of the rain

Fresh on the pavement

I ran off the plane

That July 9th

The beat of your heart

The jumps through your shirt

I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor

Wearing your clothes

All that I know is that

I don't know how to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss

Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember

The swing of your step

The life of the party, you're showing off again

And I roll my eyes and then

You pull me in

I'm not much for dancing

But for you I did

Because I love your handshake

Me and my father

I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets

How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something

There's not a day when I don't miss those rude interruptions

But now I'll go sit on the floor

Wearing your clothes

All that I know is that

I don't know how to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss

Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

So I'll watch you live in pictures like I used to watch you sleep

And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe

And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are

Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines

And it's a beautiful day

And something reminds you

You wish you had stayed

You can plan for a change in weather and town

But I never planned on you changing your mind

So I'll go sit on the floor

Wearing your clothes

All that I know is that

I don't know how to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss

Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss

Forever the name on my lipsForever the name on my lips

Just like our last

This was on kaykay's blog on 6th October. I read it, heard it. Yes it's touching, but never have I thought that I would be able to use it.
No don't get me wrong, I don't want to use it. Unfortunately, it describes my feeling now.

How can human be so heartless..

Review: Hada Labo Cleansing

2011-11-05T17:36:00.000+08:00

Hello people!

Ever had any problems with Make up remover?
Think that make up remover that's oil based are effective, but the aftermath of oil clogging up your pores is irritating?

Not to worry now!

Introducing....

The new Hada Labo Cleansing oil! (formulated with high purity Olive Oil)!
This product is like goddess down to Earth!

Although it's oil based, but it doesn't clog up your pores and it's more effective than other brands! (removes make up quicker)

It contains SHA, 1g of it retains 12g of water!
Not only will your skin not feel greasy, it will also be hydrated!

Did an eye make up, and watch how I remove it!

As usual, the 'lock' somewhere at the pumper, which I love the most!!

Just pump sufficient cleansing oil onto your palm, and place it gently onto your skin! (The instructions states using your bare hands though, but I would like to try if this would work with cotton pad, just in case there are people out there like me who have a habit of using cotton pad!) *too bad I have long nails*

You can see that the cleansing oil is mild, look at the amount of liquid flown out! I didn't even squeeze my cotton pad!!

And...... TADDA!!

In just one step, and my eye makeup is all removed! I don't even have to use cleanser after use! Just use water to rinse off the residue, and it's all gone!

That's water-soluble!

After use feel:
My skin feels smooth, and not oily at all!
It has this light scent of Olive Oil, but not too worry, Hada Labo has never added any scents/fragrances into their product! (No need to worry for skin sensitive problems!)
Removes all make up, in just one step!

Visit their facebook page here:
https://www.facebook.com/hadalabosg
(Free samples redemption, and Skin analysis test!)

Also, you may purchase them at any Watsons store in Singapore!

Disclaimer: The pics are a tad blurry as I'm using iPhone's cam. My bro took my camera!

Halloween Fright Fest @ Singapore Flyer

2011-10-23T10:33:00.000+08:00

Hello people! Went to the Halloween Fright Fest at the Singapore Flyer with bf!
I have to thank http://www.rynaque.com/ and http://www.omy.sg/ for extending the invitation!

To start of with- my pic! Haha, don't gross out. I haven't had any chance to take pictures, furthermore camwhore, eversince I started revising for O's! Super busy..

We were late for the event, cause something urgent cropped up. So we were alone at the service centre, waiting for the person-in-charge to bring us over to the Lounge!

Random brochures at the reception!

The friendly lady that served us.

And so we reached the lounge, and people were looking at us. Cause we weren't dressed up for Halloween! :( Oh well. I couldn't recognise any of the bloggers/media people there, expect for Rachell! So we sat down tgt, and we get to enjoy this yummy Halloween drink!
It has two flavors, I suppose. Cause the drink in the background was Rachell's, and it's green! (while mine was yellow)

It taste yummy! ^^

Didn't take many photos, cause I was seated right at the back, but I managed to snap this! My fave character of all time for Halloween- Ghostbusters! Hehe, and the friendly ghost beside. (Reminds me of Casper, the cartoon)

It saved my day! So, super afraid of the halloween 'monsters'.

After like, 15 minutes, the staff informed us, that we missed the walk in the Halloween rainforest! :( Instead, she bought us to the Flyer. Okay la, better than nothing right?

Random displays on the wall that I find it cool!

And tadaaaaa! Our cabin is approaching!

After stepping in....

Sit down, first thing to do is CAMWHORE!

MBS!

My cute bf! ^^
'I don't want to take photo!' *pouts*

F1 tracks

Oh, and this is damn cool right?
Ghostly effect of our photo.

30 min is far too long, especially when we sat the Flyers before!
So I ask baby to take a full shot pic.
I love the scenery so, so much!

This. Is Singapore. The country that I am proud to be born in!

Mbs from far, tgt with the Museum, and the longest highway/bridge in SG

Together with us in the cabin, 3 angmohs...

And a couple!

After the Flyers, we went off and, saw this at the entrance of the Rainforest.
*angry*, why you no wait for me!?

Called for taxi, and off me goooooo! ^^

Interested to go too?? You can!

$25 nett per pax- Includes entry into FrightFest @ Singapore Flyer Rainforest and 1 Special Halloween Brew (non-alcoholic)
Special Offer for PAssion card members: $20!

All tickets are valid for Friday (28 Oct) at 9pm, 10pm and Sunday (30 Oct) at 9pm, 10pm only.

Review: Amethystory

2011-10-21T03:49:00.002+08:00

A new brand has hit Singapore by storm! Introducing Amethystory - endorsed by Taiwan celebrity Cynthia Wang/王心如!
Join us en route the fantasy journey and be mesmerized by the amethystory Series!

Never heard of Amethyst?
Let me tell you more.
It is a semi-precious gemstone, in a violet colour, often used in jewelry. A gemstone, is said to be a natural tranquilizer for dispelling intoxication, relieving stress, smoothing irritation, balancing mood and inspiring the intellect.

It is well known as a natural aid for our body. It produces a small, detectable magnetic field and emits beneficial far infrared radiation and negative ions that enhances circulation, promote anti-oxidation and rejuvenate skin cells.

In short, it means that this special gemstone is good, and it will help beautify your skin! Thus, Ginvera, came out with this series of 5 products, of which I am gonna be reviewing on 3.

Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel (Star Product)- 150ml $24.90
Amethystory Mineral Bubble Face Wash- 160ml $14.90
Amethystory Mineral Aqua Whitening Enhancer- 150ml- $19.90

Okay, let's start off with the route to beautiful skin!

Step 1:
The Star Product of the series! The Amethystory Mineral Aqual Gel

It removes cornified deadskin!

It can be used on Face and also Body parts!

Safety clip to prevent any leakage/accidental pushing of pump
(products nowadays have these! Super considerate to us clumsy users!)

Gently pump... Say, 2 pumps!
You can see that it's super watery. So don't worry, it won't make your face oily!

Rubs on face.. Below is the residue left that I retrieved from my face (too unglam)

Directions:
Apply on skin to remove dead skin layers. Use daily on dry skin with dry finger. Massage gently in circular motion for around 1 minute. White flakes that appear are dead skin cells removed.

The Mineral Aqua Gel is good! Fragrance/odour-free, so don't have to tolerate any smell that you don't like!
Non greasy too!
Skins feels lighter, and dead skin really removed thoroughly *smooth face*

Step 2:
Amethyst Mineral Bubble Face Wash

'Specially blended with 3 exquisite and effective ingredients for your skin- Amethyst, Hyaluronic Acid and Bio Energy Fluid. It would provide a long lasting moisture to skin.'

See what I mean? The safety clip! *I like!*

Pump a sufficient amount on your face. In this case, they didn't state. But if you want this amount of bubble, get 1 and a half pump. But I think 1 pump is enough. ^^

Massage bubble on your face~

Directions:
Smooth amount on your face and massage in circular motion to make sure that impurities, dirt and oil are being effectively removed. Rinse with water. Gentle for daily use

It has a 'lavender-like' smell when massaged onto skin. It wasn't stated there, but that's what I smelt. If you guys smell a different smell, do tell me kk? My skin feels moisturised after usage, and it feels lighter.

Note: This step can be replaced with Amethystory Mineral Purify Facial Cleanser

Step 3:
Amethystory Mineral Aqua Whitening Enhancer

'It provides skin wth minerals for better skin rejuvenation and at the same time lighten complexions evenly for a fairer, radiant and youthful glow'

The bottle doesn't have a 'safety clip', but it has a quality sticker! So cute right?!

I poured 3 drops onto my cotton pad.

In the midst of patting onto my face...

Tadaaa! My skin is fairer! If you are my frequent blog reader, you would have know. I am not this fair! 0% photoshop! (Cause I have no idea how to photoshop)

Directions:
After cleansing, pour an adequate amount onto palm (I used a cotton pad cause I'm not used to using palm for this step) and gently pad onto face to let it be completely absorbed by skin. Skin becomes fairer and more radiant with regular use!

Light-weight feeling. Totally no smell, and is non greasy!
Face feels refreshed. And I feel that I'm a bit fairer. Maybe after constant usage, I will be a tone fairer! Will tell you guys the results ^^

And so..

The other two products that I didn't review will be:

Amethystory Mineral Purify Facial Cleanser- 100g $8.90
Amethystory Eye Contour Brightening Amethyst Roller- 15ml $16.90

Now altogether, all the 5 products!

Prawning & Mahj

2011-10-18T05:09:00.001+08:00

Hello people! Exams are round the corner. Super nervous, but I can't seem to start revising proper.

For me, English is the hardest! Yes, English. I don't know why, but I always tend to fail my compre. :(

Okay enough said. I'm too worried about my O's.

And so, I went Prawning with baby, rocky and junhong!

It was quite enjoyable. After not meeting for so long!

Went to Hai Bin U Enterprise- Bishan (my usual hotspot for prawning), and we have this unexpected catch- The Lobster! Junhong caught it at first, but it somehow fell back into the pond.

But he was lucky enough to catch it back again!

And so, after verifying with rocky's dad. This. Is. The lobster!

Super cute. Got to know rocky's gf too, Audrey! Hehe. Mahj till morning.

Ahhh... Why am I still gambling at a time like this..

PS: Do support my CLEO Blog! Help me win! http://www.askcleo.com/index.php?option=com_idoblog&task=userblog&userid=92612&Itemid=61

What's new on iPhone 4S??

2011-10-17T06:01:00.000+08:00

Heard about the new iPhone 4S and iOS 5?
Interested but find the information from the net too wordy for you to digest?

You should read what I have to say! (The revised and shorter version of iPhone 4S vs iPhone 4, and also a brief explaination for iOS 5!)

Introducing...... The new Siri on iPhone 4S!
This is freaking cool, cause it's equivalent to having a maid help you set eveything right, just by using the voice command!

(Picture credits: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html)

It helps you set reminders.

It sends a text for you

Weather forecast

Find information at places where u wish to go

Schedule meetings with the person just by speaking to the mic

Send an email

Rummage through your contact list and find a contact

Set an alarm, without you saying the exact time. Just say things like 'an hour', 'ten minutes'.

Get directions

Set timer

And the coolest of all- ask Siri what it can do!

Siri takes dictations tooo!

Instead of typing, you just have to say what u want to type, and iPhone converts your words into text. Use dictation to write messages, take notes, search the web, and more! It also works with third-party apps, so you can update your Facebook status, tweet, or write and even send Instagrams.

So, here's the difference! iPhone 4S on the left, and 4 on the right column.

iPhone 4S' display spects

iPhone 4's display spects

More improved points:

Camera- from 5 mp to 8mp + face detection, video stabilization
Bluetooth from 2.1 + EDR to 4.0
Talk time from 7 hours to 8 hours on 3G

BUT.

It is heavier than iPhone 4 by 3 grams!
Standby time from 200 hours to 300 hours!

More details on performance: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/#performance

Regreted on buying your iPhone 4 White? Don't be! Cause you can just update to iOS 5! (Available for both 4 and 4S)

iOS 5 updates: http://www.apple.com/iphone/ios/

iCloud stores your music, photos, documents, and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.

iCloud: http://www.apple.com/iphone/icloud/

Damn cool right! But even so, I am still #teamblackberry, really. Cause 8 hours on 3G is too little for me! Blackberry works fine! And it's smaller for my hand too.

*consider waiting for iPhone 5. Maybe even better, can chat with Siri 2??*

And so, I was webcaming with baby moments ago. Super cute la he! ^^

And one good news:
I got the Black mask for blackheads from Daiso!

It's super effective! Fits both girls and guys, cause bf and I both tried it ^^
But sadly, we forgot to take a before and after pic. But I will do before our next trial! Which is on Friday, hopefully if we didn't forget.

And more reviews coming up! 3 new products from Ginvera, and a few launches from Loreal!

Stay tuned k!

2011-10-13T03:53:00.002+08:00

Hello people!

Heard of Sun Yat Sen Memorial hall??

I was working pt at the event! It was a super rare opportunity. To meet new friends, and many many famous people. Most importantly, I get paid to enjoy life!

Very limited pictures only, cause we are not allowed to take pics. :x

Jolene and I! The first day at Airport, fetching the VIPs.

And then on the 2nd day, we went to the event place itself and usher!
There were (if I didn't remember wrongly), 10 girls, and 5 guys.

With 3 diff types of costumes! ^^

We should have took a group photo lo, srsly...... :(
