Movie Review: Kung Fu Jungle (一个人的武林)
Before I left for Taiwan, I brought J along for a movie review – Kung Fu Jungle because he likes action packed movies and which Chinese haven’t heard of Donnie Yen? Donnie Yen is one of the best Kung Fu movie star around!! Even my dad loves his movies. This movie will blow you off because of Donnie Yen’s swift moves and twisted plots. At some point of the movie, I can’t tell if he is the bad guy or the good guy. You know a movie is good when you get all caught up with the suspense and thriller. In the movie, Donnie Yen was serving his sentence in…

Lost without you (maybe)
I think we are so crazily in love that either one of us feel lost when one is away. He’s going to Australia for a holiday next week and I am heading over to Taiwan in Oct. With a beauty blogger as his girlfriend, I’ll be packing a bag of facial products for him to bring over – to take care of his dehydrated skin for the cold weather. I don’t want a flaky boyfriend when he is back after 8 days…. True enough, I am thankful for having him in my life for the past few months. We had another huge quarrel last week but he kept reasoning even…

Days with J
No matter long-lived or short-lived, no matter the history or the future. What matters most is now. Only people who can’t move on or get over it will be affected by the history. But as you move on, one day, you will come to realize that harping on a failed relationship is nothing but childishness. We gain nothing by insulting the other party NON-stop or as and when we feel like it. As far as I am concern, J is officially my Liam Ti Ti. *Liam Ti Ti stands for sticky in Hokkien. We meet so often, and by saying often, it means EVERDAY. Well…… almost. We meet 30 out…

Then… I kept seeing LANEIGE make ups with prints on them.. I told myself that I have to get hold of them too!! I went WOW when I saw them because they had doggies inside the leopard prints!! You know…. It’s LANEIGE Meets Fashion!! When K-beauty meets K-fashion!! What can be better than that?! pushBUTTON has been catching attention of magazines and fashion editors for its unique and quirky style. Even big celebrity names like Rihanna, Gong Hyo Jin…

Go Hairless with DPL
Sometimes some shoot requires us to have fair skin or flawless limbs because no one wants to look ugly or flawed in photos. I have an issue with hairs, especially underarm and uneven skin tone on the legs. I used to shave/pluck or visit beauty parlours for underarm waxing but I realized that overtime, they only darken the armpit and I knew this can’t be the solution to it. Darken armpits also reduces my confidence of wearing sleeves clothes. When I visited Dr. Tan at Halley Medical Aesthetics for my smile line fillers, I had the opportunity to chit chat with one of the therapists while waiting for my turn.…

Momiji Collagen Hotpot Buffet
Holy Holy ladies! Whoever is crazy over collagen have got to visit Momiji as……. Momiji Shabu Shabu is now introducing Singapore’s first and ONLY collagen hotpot buffet!! I don’t think I need to elaborate on the benefits of collagen. Tell me, who doesn’t know that collagen is good for the skin?! The soup base is made of collagen pudding – the culmination of 6 hours of simmering kampong chicken. The taste was a little bland at first but this is due to different preferences. You can top it up with Himalayan Pink Salt yourself if you like it saltier. Ladies would generally prefer it to be bland while the guys…

Sync – Korean Fushion Bistro
Everyone in Singapore, especially the Gen Y is soooooo crazy about the trends in Korea including its food. Hence, we visited Sync, a new korean fusion restaurant that synchronized Korean Western Fusion food, drinks, technology and lifestyle just for us. The bistro is powered by Samsung so do not be shocked to expect seeing Samsung devices everywhere. For example, placing your order via Samsung devices.. *does this remind you of Timbre’s ipad concept of ordering food* They even have little corners for you to chillax while waiting for food. And kid’s corner too! Drinks: They have a hugh variety of drinks even for the alcoholic like J. So he can’t help but plunge…

Olay CC Cream Hide Pores Well
Do you see any pores in the picture below? * This picture is free from filter or any edits. It is basically a raw picture* If your answer is no, I’ll tell you why!! I have visible pores on my face (who doesn’t?). Maybe not those huge enlarged pores but it is still visible. When Olay CC Cream was introduced, I was quite skeptical because it was said to have pore minimizing effects that gives women a seemingly airbrushed finish. “How well can they hide the pores or pigmentations?” I thought. So I put it on to a one day test. True enough, results achieved! There are facts to the…
