Taman Sentosa seafood

Deepavali public holiday!

Drove to JB for some bbq grilled food and seafood dinner!

If you are going to JB, remember to go to Taman Sentosa Gim Doo Restaurant (along with other seafood restaurant) for seafood dinner! Taman Sentosa is very near to Singapore customs, somewhere near Plaza Pelangi. Plaza Pelangi is about 5-10mins drive from City Square Mall.







Gim Doo's staff are all wearing red shirt. Lots of Singaporean went there to eat too!

I think their chili / butter / black pepper crabs are nice, but as for normal vegetable or other dishes, it was okay only, in fact the baby kailan I ate.. it was a disaster. :s

Nonetheless, try their grilled food! I still remembered I went there once with Weiting and Peiyun about 1 or 2 years ago? We ordered 3 crabs but Peiyun only ate one pathetic pincer! She wasn't in the mood that time. Now she keep asking us to go back again! hahah!

Let's go and have a feast!!

Singapore Flyer Experience

My first time atop Singapore Flyer!

Singapore's night view is amazing. I love country view but this urban city view got to me too.

Went there on Friday night. The SAME absurd traffic on expressway on every Friday evening is ridiculous as hell. Rushed to Popeye for dinner after I reached!!!






Can you see the skull on my bag? :)

Singapore's night view!


At the highest point of flyer. There it is Singapore Art Science Museum!



Another pic by the iphone, editted by iPhone apps. Marina Bay Sands at the right side.






SKULL!!!!

I'd love to go to the flyer the 2nd time.

Loud Festival

Went to Loud Festival on Friday with Dawn.

Featuring: Jay Chou 周杰伦, Landy Wen 温岚, Soda Green 苏打绿 and 2 others.

Huge traffic jam at all the expressway, only managed to reach at 8.30pm! Luckily the show was just about to start when we reached. :)


PB-1 Row 14! PB-1 is the seat right in front of the stage! Awww~ thank you so much for the ticket!



The crowd!


Loud Festival opening :)


Starts with Soda Green. I only know ONE of his song which is Xiao Qing Ge.


Landy Wen. The dancing queen. :)

and the last person to perform? JAY CHOU of course!



SCREAMSSSS. That's what everyone did!!!!






The last song was Wu Ding by Jay and Landy.

It was good experience but I won't spent SGD200 for a ticket to see Jay Chou! Not a big fan of him. I'd consider Show Luo, A-Mei and Faye Wong!

Make-up Haul

Hello!! I'm still alive and kicking!

It's been quite long since I last bought make up! Spent few hundreds SGD$ on all these, FEEL GOOD.
I went to this warehouse that import some of the US drugstore-brand make up stuff (NYX, ELF, Coastal Scents etc), recommended by my poly mate ShuHui! No waiting time compared to online purchase. LOVE IT!

I went on the first day and got hundred over bucks stuff, then I went home and realised I forgot to buy brush guard to keep my brush in shape, immediately went back the next day and get more stuff other than brush guard, talk about convenience.

Some make up stuff below are from cosmetics counter itself.


ELF Brush holder, NYX lip stick, MAC eyeshadows, OPI nail colors and nail crack, CARMEX lip balm and brushes.

Refer to image above:
ELF Brush holder:- to replace my old one.
NYX lip stick:- too cheap not to get few!!
CARMEX lip balm:- my current favourite lip balm other than Kiehl's.
MAC eyeshadow:- reliability already proven by the brand itself.
OPI nail colors and crack:- reliability already proven by the brand itself.
Brushes: Coastal Scents, NYX Kabuki brush (in pink), Bare Escentuals. Loving the kabuki brush! All these brushes are super soft especially kabuki brush, new brush for loose powder. :)

As I said, I went back to the store the next day and shopping to get more stuff!!!



Add-on to my first day haul:-
Brushes:- MORE brushes from Coastal Scents.
Brush Guard:- keep my brushes in good shape!
Brush Cleanser: Coastal Scents (not as good as compared to my MAC brush cleanser, more about it below)
MAC Bronzer: matte bronzer for contour purpose.
OPI colors:- can't get enough :p



Here are all my make up brushes (with brush guard)!

From brushes for liquid foundation (flat), loose powder (kabuki), contour, blusher, lip, and all kind of different eyeshadow brushes.

As you can see the pink color wording brushes. That's my MAC limited edition Hello Kitty Brushes that I bought a few months ago!! Love it to the max. The rest are mostly my new purchase from Coastal Scents. Rest assure the quality is as good as MAC but their price are so much cheaper than MAC.

Average price for a MAC brush could be SGD40 (cheapest) and up to SGD100 (per brush) depends on which brush you are getting, loose powder and blusher brush usually at SGD50-70+ etc. Don't remind me how much I got my Limited Edition Hello Kitty Brush from MAC. :(

Brushes from Coastal Scents about SGD10-30 (that's what I got mine, if you are buying online or direct from US drug store, it might be different), smaller brush like eye pencil brush only SGD 6 I think.. can't remember the price for every brush!

As for quality, I'm not sure about other Coastal Scents brushes, some might not be as soft but I bought all these at the store itself, so basically I feel and touch it before purchase. If you are buying online, just make sure you do research and read enough reviews to make yourself comfortable before you buy it.



Here are the brush cleanser I use.

So far I only use MAC brush cleanser (SGD20+ for a bottle? can't remember). I usually clean my brushes everytime after make up.

I bought this brush purifier from Coastal Scents for SGD16. I tried it out that day and I don't really like it. It's abit more foamy than MAC cleanser, you have to rinse your brush with water really well before you leave it dry, otherwise it will take forever and still damp. In another word, it is abit difficult to wash the cleanser off completely as compared to MAC.

I'm going to DIY brush cleanser, found some online recipe to DIY brush cleanser. Mix hand wash cleanser with olive oil! Need to try it next time otherwise I'm going to be so broke just to buy enough cleanser for my brushes.



Benefit make up! New found love. (Got it from Benefit counter)
Bought it few months ago, I'm absolutely in love with Benetint! It acts like a blusher and it can be applied on your lips too.

I wanted to buy Benetint since years ago and I keep holding on it because of it's price. For a blusher at SGD50+ (can't remember exactly!), I really can't get it! My usual blusher only cost me average of SGD15? hahaha!

BUT I love it so much so I decided to just get it! Say hello to natural rosy cheeks! If you are using liquid foundation, Benetint is to be applied after your liquid foundation, before loose powder. If you are using compact powder or 2-way foundation, you have to use it before your powder foundation. LOVE IT!

Benefit That Gal - Make up primer! It contains skincare ingredients to make it less harsh to your face. Non-oily at all because it has no SPF, just apply your sunblock before it. :)

Here are my new make up purchases! I'm not taking pictures of all my make up (TOO LAZY and troublesome), but most of it are from Chanel, Clarins, MAC, Ettusais, Urban Decay, Too Faced, Shiseido, Sephora, and all kind of others from Watsons!

Skincare coming up!

Mid-Autumn Festival

Lanterns. Candles. Mooncake. Chinese Tea. Mid Autumn Festival!

Time for you to gain fat officially. MOONCAKES!!!

I had fun with my own family, how about you?

Here are some pictures taken by iPhone.





The most traditional lantern! I love it. Luckily I didnt burn it.


My elephant! Bought it on that day itself, imma keep it for next year. :)





Mid Autumn is quite important in my family (and relatives). We gathered every year (of course on other occasion too) and celebrate together. Kids usually eat mooncakes together, play with candles and lanterns while adults sitting in the yard (watch the moon?) and do their usual catch up talking.

This year we had our own celebration without other relatives, no kids, it was a quite one but still feeling warm. :)

Mummy's Birthday!

Mummy's birthday dinner! We had dinner at 8pm+ and then we had another supper + cake at 11pm+.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY! We Love You!




The Family.



Daddy's hair is UBER FUNNY. We (especially me) kept laughing at him and called him mushroom head. He got natural curl and he dont wanna cut his hair!!!!! He said he used to have this hair during his teenage days and now everything is about vintage and old school so he wanna keep it. -_-"


Daddy with me and my 3rd sis! with his signature cheeky smile!

My mum has done everything for us since young, fetching us to and from school everyday, send us to wherever we want to go, do the housework, cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We love you mummy, stay healthy and pretty. <3

My New Room!

Finally painted my room!! always wanted to do it but... its either I'm lazy... or just plain lazy to do it.

This was really LAST MINUTE, I'm not sure what hit me to do it the next day when the idea came to me, but you know, analysis kills spontaneity. Sometimes you just gotta do it! DONT THINK!

So when I thought about it, I went to buy a Kingkoil queen-sized bed the next day, waited for 2 weeks for the new bed to come. Meanwhile I started to think what to put on the wall, I wanted to have an autumn feel thus I painted peach color (yay peach!!) wall paint. Went to search for the grey paint after my bed is fixed. This particular matt grey paint was so hard to find compared to the glossy grey.

Anyway I painted a falling leaves tree, I had the image in my mind and spent around 1.5 hours to paint those leaves, still loving it so far.

Part of the reason of why I chose to paint instead of hang a picture was because we used to have a whole wall (yes, whole) painted in a picture in my old home. It was a scenery, like an ancient landscape painting includes of mountain, waterfall, trees, seagull, animals, small hut, fog etc etc. It was a master piece.
We paid for painting artist to do it and I still remembered he spent around one or two week to finish the whole thing. I would sit around the sofa and watch him paint, we've got all kind of paint lying in the living room like his own working room hahaha! he likes the smell.
I was still in primary school I think. The amazing part was he just stand in front of our wall and think for a few minutes before he touch it or when in doubt, he could just paint the whole thing out with no mistake.

I will dig out the wall paint and post it up!

Here are some pictures taken by iPhone.










I love this effect!



These are 2 new DIY shelves I bought from IKEA. Love it when everything is organized.
Spot that duster roller at the right side on the bottom shelf, roller in white with blue stick. oh man that roller is amazing, I can't live without that now. I am serious. It saves my time! I just roll it on my bed every night before I sleep! roll it on clothes etc. such a fantastic creation to stick all the hair and dust. hahahah! save my time to pick it up one by one (before I got the roller). I cannot stand dirty, especially hair strand on the floor (those you can see) or dust on the floor (you can feel it when you walk) and dust on the table etc etc.


New bedsheet! Original Sgd 211 for a set! ($179 for bedsheet, $32 for bolster.) BUT I got a 50% discount, so it was quite ok.
100% Cotton sateen, 650 threadcount. Utterly soft and comfortable to sleep in. Abit pricey but really worth it. I love the plain design, material and dark color, that's exactly what I want!

Also, that's my happy family! I only hug the oldest tigger (with pampers) to sleep every night. He is really old now, can't even sit straight. :(

That's it for my room, no more changes in the coming months. It was such a tiring process but I like the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Not to mention I even fixed my own washing basin. I feel like a man.

Alright, I will blog about my skincare routine soon. :)

Priscilla's Birthday

It's my cousin's daughter birthday! Should I call her niece? I'm an aunt. Right?

Anyway, it's her birthday and we went over to her house for a mini dinner celebration.

My parents really like and dote her max, probably because that's my closest cousins among all and of couse Priscilla is very cute lah. They are one of our closest cousin, I lived with them for a few years when I was really young.

Now my cousin has his own daughter, my dad and mum reallyyyy like her!

Hello Kitty customized birthday cake by Priscilla's mum. 2-tier cake and so princessy!



The "BMW" car that my parents bought for Priscilla! Yeah, when you insert the car key and turn the engine on, you can really hear the engine roaring.

I was quite shocked because I didnt know toy car has become so advance and pricey!


Headlights turned on!


Priscilla and me! Poor girl scratched her own nose.

**Happy Birthday!
