VivoCity Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron
Sponsored
Can you sense the presence of Marvel’s Avengers in the air by now?
I can’t wait for the movie because I am a huge fan of Marvel’s!!!
Being huge fans of Marvel’s, James and I visited VivoCity Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron mall event. This even will run from now till 3 May 2015.
I made James buy me one Thor plush during the event because it was sooooo cute! And the plush only cost him $9.90! Although Iron Man is my favourite character, but I give him up because Thor was more colourful.
This boy thought his dressing looked like The Hulk so he posed one with the Hulk lol!
Other than soft toys, other collectibles and items are also for sale. I think this would make such a good outing for families with kids!
What amazes me most was, the event is free and they have a few stations for you to explore. You don’t have to be Tony Stark to transform yourself into an Iron Man and you can prove your strength by lifting Thor’s enchanted hammer.
We participated and won ourself some masks! Both of us won the Thor’s mask so we traded one away for the Captain America’s. We mingled around because it is hard not to when you are at such a place which constantly keeps one happy!
There are also other booths where you can snap a picture and bring it home for FREE and treat yourself to an eye feast by on a diorama of an action scene from the movie! We joined in the queue and snapped a picture. Where else can you find such booths for FREE?!
Also, take the chance to take pictures with life-sized 3D figurines and bring home exclusive movie merchandise!
Stand a chance to win a pair of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron movie tickets or $20 shopping/dining vouchers when you spend $200 or more from now till 1 May 2015. Limited to the first 150/day.
Sounds like a weekend plan already? They are located at Level 1, VivoCity Atrium. Visit them not only because it’s free but because it is fun and interactive!!!
TCM Weight Management
Do you have weight management issues? Do you always feel fat and bloated?
Have you tried changing your diet but failed? Or have you ever been to a weight management company for some weight loss session? How healthy are they?
.
Do you also know that Obesity can cause a lot of health problems like fatigue, sweating, headache, constipation, stomach bloating, diabetes, high blood pressure and many many more?
That’s why it is always important to treat the issue rather than avoiding it. I get all panicky when anyone in my family is obese and I am kinda worried for my Dad because he is moving a little towards the obese side so I would constantly remind him what can he eat and what he shouldn’t take.
Then.. I watched a video on Youtube about TCM Weight management (show you the video later. Read on first!) ….
.
.
.
Have you heard of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? I bet many of you have. TCM also focus on Weight Management.
Treatments like:
– Acupuncture can regulate the function of stomach and intestine’s functioning levels.
– Ba Guan helps to stimulate and improve circulation.
– Ear Acupressure helps to improve body metabolism, reduce fats and curb appetite.
Of course, you still need some prescribed herbal medication to help you body as well. A physician will assess your body condition and prescribe the herbs and treatments accordingly.
The treatments are all safe and minimal pain. I always thought that acupuncture are quite painful until I watched the video. If you remain calm and still, you can only feel a tinge of numbness.
True enough, take a close look at the needles, they are just too fine to cause any major pain.
Some times, after stopping the treatments for a period, people will experience weight gain again. It can be due to the diet or the stability issues with the fat. But Eu Yan Sang’s weight management program, it has a stabilization period that helps prevent weight rebound. This is really good because you don’t want all the efforts and money to go down the drain right?!
Be healthy and safe. I prefer to know about how some treatments work before going into them. Now you can do it as well. Watch the video and you will get what I mean.
TCM Eu Yan Sang is now organizing a free workshop for you to know more about TCM weight management program. Fill up the form to secure yourself a seat. Dinner and refreshments will be provided. All attendee will also be given a token of appreciation. (Seats are limited, so hurry.)

How a phone call wasted >2 hours of my life
I am feeling very angsty as I am jotting this down. I was on the phone for this telecom for the last 2hours+++
Just to clarify: I switched over from Telecom A to Telecom B for their Fibre Home Broadband 1 year+ ago and I even had to pay for the termination fees for terminating my contract with Telecom A.
Today, the mobile broadband was cut off for no reason and when I called in to Telecom B, the operator told me that I haven’t been paying part of my bills for a year.
This certainly shocked me because my dad has been paying the bills on time. He went on to check on the bills which he kept every month but couldn’t find anything wrong because everything was was duly paid for.
Then… the nightmare came. We were told that there was another address in our account which I don’t even know if the place exist or not. That was the bill the person was talking about.
1. How do I pay for bills which I don’t even know existed for the past 1 year?
2. Why should I pay for the bill when I don’t even know what it is for?
3. How did this address appear out of nowhere?
4. How did it enter my account? Does the Telecom allows different address in 1 account?
I tried to ask for answers to these questions but sadly, no one could answer me that. The line couldn’t be reconnected because the department was close. I was on the phone since 8 and the department closes at 9 and because they kept diverting me here and there, I couldn’t get the line reconnect tonight.
This got me thinking…
1. How much does the staff actually know about their work?
(Actually I was promised unlimited data for the mobile broadband when I signed up for the bundle but today, they told me it was 500mb, then it was 1gb. And then they went on to say the missing bill for the past 1 year was for the mobile broadband data usage.)
2. Doesn’t this look like a fraud case?
(Did the person who promised unlimited data usage put the mobile broadband onto another address so that it will not be detected so soon? The internet bill went to my home address, but the supposedly said “mobile broadband” bill went to Bukit Batok and Serangoon. Two operators gave me two different addresses. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Isn’t it fishy?)
That’s not the worst.
The worst is, my line is not reconnected, there was no answers to my questions even after so many hours.
How I am feeling right now: Cheated, Angry, Disappointed with the Telecom….
[NSFW] Smile Makers – Only for Ladies

Smile Makers. What do you think this sounds like?
Dental care?
Chocolates?
More like dental care right?
I thought it was the brand of some toothpaste when I was first exposed to it at Watson’s Day Out!

YES. It is exactly what you are thinking.
These vibrators are on sale in Watson now. I don’t know how much a vibrator cost but the retail price for each of this Man you see in the picture there is $64.90. They are finally in Singapore after earning glowing reviews from various countries like France, Switzerland, Taiwan and more.
A survey conducted on 800 women in Singapore aged 18 to 50 in March 2015 and the findings concluded that only 30% of the women in Singapore are satisfied with their sex lives. Although self-pleasure may still be seen as a taboo to some, but 67% out of the 800 women felt that they needed to do so once a week as they can recognise that it keeps them happy, healthy and beautiful.
To Smile Makers, beauty starts with a smile and that is why the 4 men are here to help.
Red – The Fireman
Blue – The Frenchman
Purple – The Millionaire
Yellow – The Tennis Coach
Each man serves a different function (pleasure).
You find it awkward to step into a “pleasure” shop to get one, but what if it is already available in our leading pharmacy store like Watson? Less awkward right? The ladies in the study also mentioned that they would dare to get it from Watson than in the shop itself. So shy ladies, you can come out and play now – For pleasure, health or body 🙂 Go visit the friendliest men ever.
I find it creative to name the “men” such names. Do you prefer the Tennis Coach or the Millionaire? Which is more sexy? Hahaha.

Nose Fillers Top Up at TFA
Hello all, I am back with another update for my beauty journey! As you all know, I had nose fillers done last year. This year, I am back at The Face Aesthetic to do my fillers top up!!
And because I used Juvederm Volift last year, Dr. Zhang chose Volift again for me this year.
Fillers are amazing. They can:
– Fill lines and creases
– Volumizes, plumps and lift cheeks, jawless, temples, and many more
*Face is a little swollen at certain angles due to my wisdom tooth surgery.
Fillers is the easiest way for aesthetics enhancement!
1. Apply numbing cream and wait for 20 minutes
2. Clean the numbing cream away
3. Inject
AND DONE!
Different doctors have different perspective of beauty. Luckily I met Dr. Zhang because he prefers the nose to look naturally high. He only injected a little at the tip on the nose and the nose bridge.
I was very happy with the results. There was no bruising or pain at all. He also taught me how to massage the nose so that the fillers will not “move” out of place. I massaged the nose diligently for the first week and it was pretty obvious it was very well taken care of 😛
*Nose fillers injected in the picture below
The second visit was for my review which was 1 week after the fillers were injected.
The nose looked perfectly fine and since we had some fillers left, he proceeded to inject them into my chin.
Now…with fillers on the chin.. Can you see the bulb on the tip of the chin? The bulb made my face looked so much smaller and sharper! Can I say that my confidence is greatly boosted?
It’s like I don’t have to do anything to my face anymore! My makeup was done within minutes because I no longer have to contour my face much.
I really really like Dr. Zhang’s perception of beauty and his experience in the field of beauty.
Find The Face Aesthetic at 20 Malacca Street, 048979 (nearest MRT: Raffles Place). But first, make an appointment with them to avoid disappointment 6223 6788.
Let’s #BuildSG2065 together!
Let’s see.. 50 years later and that means 2065. How about #BuildSG2065?
Have you heard about #BuildSG2065 contest?
This is a very creative contest because you can put your imagination to good use. Imagine how Singapore would be like in another 50 years time.
Submit your ideas to: http://buildsg2065.straitstimes.com
Here are some ideas:
However.. remember to categorized your ideas into either of these:
– Go Green
– Smart Spaces
– Space-Age Kampungs
– Weatherproof World
It can be in any form of submission – Text, Video, Images.
Go Green:
One of the aunty also suggested coming up with robots to help with house work. And I was thinking… Why not? Maybe there will be no more maids in the future as they are replaced by robots. So we can just buy a robot and send them for maintanence once every few years. Robots exist now I know, but the cost of one is too expensive for anyone to own. By 2065, who knows it might be too common so the robots might be on sale! How about $199 for a housework robot and $109 for a car washer robot? Or maybe $239 for a nanny robot! 😀 The robots are solar charged so no electricity is needed. They will automatically be put to sleep near the windows after they are done with their task. Green enough?!
Smart Spaces:
Build more underwater shopping centers since land is so limited in Singapore. I bet it will be more cooling there and we have tones of space underground! 😀 When we can’t go up, we’ll go down! And have rooftop gardening for all the HDB so that we can do farming above ground levels to fully make use of our space. After harvesting them, we can even sell them straight. It’s like a rooftop marketplace. So every block as one marketplace itself. You don’t even have to wake up at 6am to get the freshest vegetables.
Space-Age Kampungs:
I also hope by 2065, we would have remote control to help us change our outfits. Press 1 for sports attire, press 2 for formal wear and press 3 for pajamas. This would be so damn good because we can sleep in later (say, at least 20 minutes more per day). Even best if make up and hairstyles can be controlled by remote control! So I only have to press 2 buttons per day.
1. Outfit
2. Hairstyle
3. Make up
Seems like an easy job!!! And then we can travel to work in air vehicles to avoid all the jams. We can even pull neighbors who work around the same area to travel together.
Weatherproof World:
I like the idea of Singapore being covered up in a dome because we can manipulate the weather and make Singapore snow! Actually it would be good if the weather can also be controlled via a remote control too! Hehe.

#butfirstletmetakeaselfie #selfie
We were quite early and it was my first visit to Lantern. James was telling me how good the food at Lantern was and the lucky us managed to try some that evening.
Most of the people were dressed in Mint as well.
I am usually the quiet kind so luckily I had James with me. He spoke to the boss of SkinnyMint for quite a while and I must say that he is really a funny guy.
There was also cake pops in shades of white and green. So princessy.
Because the view was too good, I couldn’t resist taking more pictures.
But my favourite picture of the entire album was this.
Thank you for having us and for the lovely goody bags 🙂
May SkinnyMint grow bigger and stronger!

Marie France Bodyline – Body Contouring
Sponsored
As you know, I don’t work on Monday so I went to Marie France Bodyline at International Building (behind Shaw House) for a Body Contouring session earlier.
We know Fann Wong just gave birth, but have you look at her recent photos? She’s back to her curvy body shape already!!
Now… I know some of you may say “So skinny already contour what?!”. But the truth is, some of us may look super skinny but we are not exactly skinny everywhere. Different people have different area of concern, be it the arms, thighs or tummy. For me, it is the tummy. Moreover, I am going to Bali in 2 weeks time and I wanna look good in my swimwear! I don’t want a visible tummy.
I went through a series of consultation and I ended up doing Pro-Freeze for my tummy! The treatment is clinically tested and proven to reduce at least 65% stubborn fats after 60 minutes. I wouldn’t go for any liposuction but I went for this because it is non-invasive (and you don’t even have to be afraid of scarring) and probably the most cosy way to reduce fats because all I had to do was to lie down and use my phone throughout LOL.
I know you must be thinking “What is Pro-Freeze?” Mmm. This treatment uses a suction and break down fat cells at specific cold temperature. It only targets and freeze fat cells and cells which are broken down will be eliminated by the body own’s system. I thought it would be super cold because I have heard of people complaining how cold fat freezing can get but I don’t feel the coldness which they had mentioned. In fact, I was very comfortable and well taken care of.
My review: The entire process was really relaxing and it doesn’t hurt a bit. Maybe only a little when the treatment has ended and the suction has to be removed. As the sayings go, no pain, no gain. For this case, not much pain but visible results!! I like the fact that it has no downtime, and no scarring. The lady who did the treatment for me was very experienced, gentle and patience with me.
If you’re interested, you can give them a call at 1800-7777-111 and go for their current on-going promotion: Two body contouring treatments for only $50.00! This promotion ends on 30 April.
With the pricing at this cheap, I am sure it doesn’t hurt to give it a try!

The Body Shop – Fuji Green Tea
Sponsored
I love Matcha ice-cream, Matcha float but I hate green tea because the flavor is not strong enough. When I saw The Body Shop posting images of their Fuji Green Tea in their Instagram account, I wanted to give it a try as well but wooooahhh, WOM sent me a set of the products! What a pleasant surprise! :))
D o you know the benefits of Green Tea? They have anti-oxidant properties and has detoxifying health benefits. Japanese women apply the tea to their skin and bathe in it! That explains their fair and soft skin. This is also why The Body Shop came out with the Fuji Green Tea™ range. The green tea are hand picked and comes from the heartland of Japan to replenish and refresh your skin for healthier-feeling skin.
You can smell the scent of green tea even without opening any of them and they smell really pleasant. You have heard about their famous Body Butter, Scrub, Eau de Cologne and more. But what about the Bath Tea and Batch Infuser?
This is the first step you should do before your shower. Use the Fuji Green Tea™ Bath Tea (300g/S$39.90) and Infuser ($13.90) to create a detox tea bath to remove the toxins from your body. Also remove an entire day of stress away before using the Fuji Green Tea™ Body Scrub (250ml/$36.90) or Exfoliating Soap (100g/$8.90) and Body Wash (250ml/$14.90). I haven’t come across any Bath Tea yet. What about you? This is really something new to me.
After the pampering shower, apply the Fuji Green Tea™ Body Butter to replenish pure moisture and the Fuji Green Tea™ Eau de Cologne (100ml/$28.090) to refresh the senses. The cologne is refreshing yet light. The tea aroma somehow helps to calm down the nerves. It is blended with green tea, bergamot, lemon and mandarin top notes with a floral heart of camellia, jasmine and violet. Spraying this makes you smell like a Japanese women. Lol.
They are also available in gift boxes with a starting price of $21.90 to $99.90.
