Fake chio healthy nails
My nails hardly go a day without nail polish. It’s a never ending cycle, I paint, nails turn yellow, yellow nails = ugly so must pain again. *gulp* So during my visit to Cynthia to remove my acrylic extensions (just 3 fingers, the nails broke! : ( ), I opted for gel overlay, so that I can paint without staining my nails and also still maintain that healthy look after removing nail polish. Heh heh. Look! It’s so pretty, I can’t stop admiring it. Now I have perpetually glossy, healthy looking nails. *admires* It’s also easier to apply nail polish (dries faster) and smoother! No streaking. : D Gel is so much work. : o…

Saffy & Amanda by Jason Hahn
I absolutely adore this writer who entertains me weekly in 8 days. And I couldn’t find any way of sharing his stories unless I had a copy of 8 days and shoved them into a friend (any friend)’s face. Hahahaha. Oh wait. I bought his book and forced my friend to read it too. And whilst I was in the toilet, I thought, “Eh, salah leh, He should have a website somewhere right?!” So I googled and found it! Tais-toi – Life with Saffy and Amanda, and other Singaporean adventures (Tais-toi means “shut up”)
Wedding Prep
It seems like when you’re a bride-to-be or when you get engaged, the whole world will be asking you questions like these: “So when’s your wedding?” “How’s your prep?” “Buying house or not?” “Are you inviting me for dinner/to be your sister?” Okay so no one’s actually really shameless enough to ask the last, HAHAHAHA. But yes these questions pop up so often and some people are shocked when my replies are: “Still far” “Don’t know yet.” “Nothing leh.” “我不知道” LOL. That’s because… 1. The Date is not fixed I only realized that the “law” was that, the guy’s side of the family chooses the wedding date, no questions asked. I also only knew a…
Bobbi Brown Denim & Rose Collectiom
After reading makeupforlife.net and theshadesofu.com I can’t wait for Bobbi Brown’s new collection. But will it even be released in SG?!?! So tempted to get these: LE Denim & Rose Eye Palette ($60 usd) The number of colors and shades got me excited. And, Highlighter Pen ($32 USD) Can’t wait!
Chilli Crab Pasta at Pasta Stylo
One weekend, we made a special trip to Pasta Stylo at City Square mall because i’ve been hankering after the Chilli Crab Pasta. CITY SQUARE MALL WAS DESERTED AT LIKE 6PM!! ON A WEEKEND! Back to the Chilli Crab Pasta…… damn, IT WAS GOOD! Came with a whole (small) crab too. I chomped it up within 15 minutes. : D ~ The place is a little dark and interestingly decorated. They have loads of interesting pasta. I spotted one Seafood Mee Goreng Pasta. ?!?!?? Surprisingly, Yang said his pasta didn’t really taste that good. Can’t remember what he ordered, it had a name that was too fanciful. The mushroom soup was great! Don’t order the…

Chinese girl looks like angela baby after plastic surgery
Saw this in a forum. OMG she is damn brave lah. Before: During: After Surgery: *Shudders* I think she looks more like Dawn Yang than AngelaBaby can. LOL. I wonder if this is what Dawn Yang went through. Or more? Here’s the girl’s blog link, http://sukijj.blog.sohu.com/ She really looks quite pretty now, must be all worth it! Still…. *cringe* Owch.
Freshlook® Illuminate™ Launch @ SEEN (Dempsey)
This is a really, really belated entry as I had little or no pictures as I was busy talking and doing my one eye demo, but nonetheless, it was a great event to record, and there’s a contest that’s still on going so here it is! The Freshlook® Illuminate™ Launch was held in both morning and evening, for media and bloggers respectively at SEEN @ Dempsey. I was to spend the entire day with just ONE Freshlook® Illuminate™ contact lens on my right eye, and fitted the left with a clear transparent contact lens to become a walking demo of how the lens subtly enhances our looks without being over dramatic. (Close up – it’s…
Daddy
My dad didn’t want to celebrate Father’s Day today. In fact, he didn’t even realize it was Father’s Day. -_-” But because we make it a point to meet every week for dinner, one day every week is like Father’s Day lah. We don’t need a special day, lunch or dinner. Or present. You’ve brought me everywhere I’ve wanted to go, given me everything I needed, encourage me when I needed it most and you’ve never laid a single finger on me. You don’t speak or read English, but you’ve taught me beyond what a book can. And I’m very grateful that you’ve always trusted me to make my own decisions….. and also to drive…

Random Thoughts
I was photoshopping some of my pics and I suddenly thought of how technology will “affect” us. My mum likes to remind us about how she was slim in the past, before she gave birth (which I have never seen before nor remember, only in photos!) and by the time it gets to my turn to be a mother and reminiscence, I think this is what will happen: Me (as a mum): Look! Mummy very slim last time one okay. Future Daughter: Mummy you bluff. All photoshop one. *bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* No one will believe me next time!! At least you can trust the photos of 1985 a little more, there was no photoshop then.
Zoya Maria & Zoya Erika
Zoya Maria: Boring muted dull plummy pink. I couldn’t stand the look of it though it’s quite nice (I think Jiajia will love it!) so I HAD to layer Erika over. (broke my middle fingernail, hence the lack of height for it and also smudged the pinky when i tried swatching it. : | ) Zoya Erika over Zoya Maria: It’s a freaking awesome duochrome pink, with red, green and gold glitter. It’s pink and flashes gold at certain angles! It looks pretty sheer, but it turns, say, 90% opaque at 3 coats! But that’s really really chunky, so i’d rather layer it over another pink like say, Essie’s Pop Art Pink or China Glaze’s…
Melben’s Crab Beehoon
I… I miss you soooooo……. I’m gonna eat you again soon. : D *readies her army* /signals to Sim Kah Kah, Mindy Tan & Michelle Ong! *HUGE ASS GRIN* Recently….. *Picks up 2nd serving of rice and self-cooked soup.* Yang: Dear, I think you need to sign up for 2 classes a week. Me: Urh why? Yang: I THINK YOU’RE EATING TOO MUCH!! But food makes me happy. : D Especially my soup, and Melben’s Crab Beehoon.
DollyWink & upcoming Zoya swatches!
Heard that Dolly Wink was restocked in Watsons NAC (Ngee Ann City) on the 10th of June, so I popped by and got my liquid eyeliner and a box of false lashes. Got my Zoyas before that from Melva all on the same day! Liquid Eyeliner: $24.90 False Lashes: $24.90 The liquid liner was great. Super smudge proof. I’d prefer this over Kate! Their retail price’s 1200YEN EACH!! DAMN!! That works out to say, $19SGD. : / Watsons took like a $5 cut at least. And GUESS WHAT? It was only yesterday after reading Meiting’s blog that I discovered a place to get it cheaper – ShopOnBlog. Grrrrrr! On top of that, if you quote…
Zoya Savita
Ordered a batch of Zoya’s from NailVibe and when I got hold of them from Melva, the first I swatched (almost immediately) was Zoya Savita!!! It’s a purple matte polish (Zoya calls it Matte Velvet Lacquer) and it’s freaking awesome to me! I love the shade, it has micro pink glitter in it, and it’s versatile – even after applying top coat over it, it’s still very pretty. Here’s a pic with top coat over (index finger)…… still chio isn’t it? I think I’ve run out of purples to buy already. I have too many purples in my polish collection. Dries in like what, 10 seconds?! Or less. And with the quick dry top coat…
Tempted
I’m really really tempted by MAC’s Marine Life Highlighter from their To The Beach collection. All the fabulous swatches I’ve seen…. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. *lusts* Must control, must control, I have more than enough blushers : ( And only 2 cheeks. I don’t even know if it’s in stock! Don’t dare to go near any MAC store at the moment.

Paradise Inn @ West Coast Plaza
I’ve tried Seafood Paradise in Defu, Seafood Paradise at Flyer, and even Taste Paradise. If you don’t know, they are all owned by the Paradise Group. But the food differs from outlet to outlet. Baby kailan at all the other outlets are just.. So-so. The crabs at Seafood Paradise are a must try though, especially the creamy ones – I don’t eat that myself but the sheep says that it’s better than Melben’s and even my parents are in praise of that place’s crabs. I’m a steadfast baby kailan consumer. Cannot explain but I loooooveee baby kailan. Especially in Oyster Sauce. And when I first tasted the baby kailan in Paradise Inn @ WCP I…
Dance baby, dance
I finally signed up for a credit package with Studio Wu. : D! Check one thing off my to do list since like I think 2 years ago, and also motivation/reason to lose weight – Got package, cannot waste money, MUST go. Even if I think my dancing for today’s hip hop class was like….. F9. Super F9. Prob U grade already. I need company! Anyone for hip hop / cardio jam / etc? I also shopped off some weight from my wallet. : | The sheep says I’m on a shopping ban till Independence Day.
