ZURICH! here i come

Finally one of those long flights! Moi been doing alot of short and turnarounds flights lately. (not that i mind, can spend more time with Tom)

Moi flying off to Zurich for 6days!! yaay~ more Lindt chocolates!!!

I think moi a pretty neat person when its comes to packing my stuff!! All packed!! Tom is always so amazed by the amount of luggages i have.. my checked in bag, cabin bag and carry-on bag!!!
Tom: from the amount of luggages you bring, it's like you're emigrating to another country. Heck, i didnt even bring so much stuff over when i came to Singapore!

But you know lah, Girls have so much more stuff i.e toiletries, bath salt to soak in the tub, foot scrub, mask, snacks, entertainment and blah blah blah..
It's almost winter in Europe as well, must pack all my winter clothing too!!

My Baa Baa~~ i wish i could bring you along~
But i need space for my Lindt Chocolates！ 真对不起

Packing is easy. The most hated part is painting my nails!! Arghhhh!!!!! They take so bloody long to dry!
See the amount of stuff i put on my nails...yupz...6layers in all!! including 2 coats of nails polish!!
i have really soft and brittle nails. And if i kena galley work, i can practically say bye bye to my already ultra short nails! I like OPI proucts because they don't stain my nails as much as the other brands and they don't dry out in the bottle as fast as the rest! i could probably used almost 3/4 of a bottle before they get really hard to apply.

Time for nappie!! Its gonna be a long flight....bleah~
moi will be back on Sat!!
stay tuned!

I love Fake Eyelashes!!!!!

Check out the fakie eyelashes i bought from Seoul! (autually some of them are from Japan)
*incredulous look*

Haha...yupz! i love fake eyelashes esp the ones from Korea. They are really affordable i.e S$2 to S$6 (unlike the shu uemura false eyelashes which cost like a bomb!) and yoou can use them for up to 3times before disposing it.

The only downside: the glue is white in colour, so it's kinda obvious if you put too much of it. (erm, as if people can't tell you are wearing fakie eyelashes...duh~ )
Anyway, moi manage to get my hands on a bottle of transparent glue sold in Japan!!! HAHA

I really love long and curled eyelashes. And if im are not born with it, i sure could use some external help to make them long and curl.

moi did eyelash perming before. Cost moi about S$40 and took an hour of my precious time.
Basically, the beautician use this special curler, twist it around ur eyelashes, put some special perming solution and let it sit for an hour. And presto! Permed eyelashes. Think of it as perming your hair. (yesh! and the same ammonium vapour that assault your nose..yikes)
For the first couple of days, it looks really really nice! a week later, your eyelashes starts looking like a bad hair perm!! NO KIDDING!!

Then eyelash extension came to Singapore! and yesh, moi went to a shop in Far East recommended by my friend. Extensions are applied on a lash-by-lash basis for a totally natural look. These lashes are semi-permanent synthetic lashes and can (supposely)last up to two months. The lashes are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. Best of all, there's no need for mascara or an eyelash curler. This cost moi S$120 and also an hour of my precious time. This definitely has more dramatic effect!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
of cos beauty comes with a price..at S$120 price tag and every touch ups cost S$35.
Pro: beautiful thick and long eye lashes
Cos: cannot rub your eye nor sleep on your side.
It lasted about 2weeks before everything starts falling off (my own eyelash as well) and patches here and there. Its pretty hard to remove as well, sticking to my own lashes like leech!

Moi finally decided on stick on eyelashes!! Affordable and easy to use! Of cos i don't use it in my everyday life. Just for special occasion i.e Jany's wedding and maybe sometimes for work (when im in the mood lah)
Other than that, i'll just use my faithful Maybelline Mascara to give me the elegantand luscious look.

I'm so vain~

My brother went to London...

And all i got was this stoopid CAP! !

*just kidding*
Actually its a pretty cool~ cap
i love it!!!
thanks bro!! you are so sweet~~

choc.a.bloc

Located in the heatland of Bedok is this famous chocolate bakery shop.
Hmm? how did i know it's famous?
Based on the newspapers magizine articles plastered all over the front of the shop lah!! haha.
In fact, it just got featured like 3days ago in one of the chinese programs( Neighbourhood tai tai or something)

Chocolate fudge cake is their speciality (apparently they sell over 100 chocolate fudge cakes a day) but they have other stuff like durian swiss cake, cookies and etc

The first time we went there, the shop was already closed for the day.
Second time lucky, shop was opened but owner told us they don't sell by the slice i.e either one whole cake or nothin
We then decided to buy the Crunchie Chocolate fudge only to found out that it was sold out!

Damn~

We settled for the original chocolate fudge cake priced at S$28 for 1kg (which thankfully they still have) Yummy!!
Greedy moi can't resist the temptation of the chocolate fudge cake!!!
*arghhh save me!!!*Better get Tom to cut the cake!

Verdict:
The chocolate fudge is super nice (in chocolatey heaven!!) and the sponge cake is soft, moist and puffy! a tad too moist for me though.. i'll give it 4 brownies points out of 5!
However, my sister after trying it said it's the perfect chocolate fudge cake! 5 out of 5!
to each of his own, i guess

The address: (fyi, it's very very near to the Blk 85 market==>minced pork noodle!)
psst: owner advise us to call and order in advance else we'll make a waste trip if we couldnt get the ckae we want

WITH this Ring I thee wed

moi went to attend Veron and ken's solemnization ceremony held at their new home.

First and foremost! Moi felt really bad(honestly!) for missing out on the solemnization ceremony.
The stoopid bus that took moi directly from home to their new nest was so bloody slow..
The webbie states that the travelling time is 63mins. Liar! it took moi 1hr and 25mins before the bus finally crawled to the destination.

Which was why moi (including Darren and Kent) missed out on the ceremony! Sighz

Beautiful Veron(ohhh, i love the way they done up her hair!!) with Dashing Ken are finally married!!
*throws confetti in air*

no kidding! veron's friends decorated their place with flowers petals, ribbons! It was truly amazing!

Awww...i just love it when couples get married!
Oh yeah, which reminds me..my ex-boyfriend's sista just got married!! *yaay*
"so Pearlyn, if you are reading this!! Congrats!!"
(although i still can't believe you got married earlier than moi..haha)

The bright lights outside makes us look like we have haloes around our head!!haha



i must say their new place is tastefully done up! and i love the walk-in wardrobe with the contrasting lime green walls!!

Wishing Veron and ken all the best in their future!! Cheers!!!

i love hello kitty and celebrities gossip! sue me~

Mummy was doing spring cleaning just the other day and she dug out this hello kitty plush toy (which was my 21st birthday gift !)
That's like 6 years ago

HAHA...my long forgotten Hello kitty..
and yesh, my favourite colour is PINK!!!

Ohhh.... i love to read celebrities gossip!
Puh leez...don't think that's so shallow

rude singaporeans!

check out this webbie!!

http://www.rudesingaporeans.blogspot.com/

yupz! featuring the (in)famous rude Singaporeans in action..

whether its leaning against the MRT pole depriving others from holding to the pole to littering in public, this webbie has it all!! best of all?
Pictures Pictures PICTURES to shame them!!!!

This is definitely gonna work because......
Singaporeans don't like to lose face mah! 真丢脸喔！！
(Disclaimer: although i must admit that some of them might not even be Singaporeans)
The funniest one was this car parking at the lot for motorcycles!
Like duh~~ get real

im sure once in awhile(pretty often for me though), we might encounter rude people. This incident happened to me a couple of months ago.

Tom and moi were taking the MRT from town back home to the eastern side of Singapore. Upon reaching Cityhall interchange, the timing was just nice that the train at the opposite side was there as well. As usual, people start making a mad dash for the awaiting train. (which i seriously don't understand!! if you miss the train then just wait for another train right? i mean whats the hurry? 赶去头胎啊??)

So we were walking toward the train when this lady in her mid 30s literally pushed moi from behind while talking aloud "You think this is your mother's house arh? walk so slowly"

i was astonished!

I mentioned it to Tom and he said i should have pushed her back immediately. We made it to the same train as well while walking at NORMAL PACE! The more i think about it, the more agitated i was. I started to feel my temperature rising. So moi went over to this person and told her nicely that she should'nt have behaved in that manner. She resorted "SO RUDE!"

That was how hopeless she was

Even thinking about it now makes my blood boils. I don't think i was wrong in any way (unless you count walking at normal pace to an awaiting train is an offence)

you know how afterwards your mind starts thinking about how the situation might turn out differently

Scene 1
rude lady pushed moi while making a mad dash for the train
moi pushed her back and see her sprawling on the floor..MUAHAHAHA!

Scene 2
moi:Excuse me, what you said just now is not very nice
rude lady : So rude
moi : Not as rude as you, you FXXXing BITCH!!! (shout at the top of my lung!!!)

Scene 3
moi:Excuse me, what you said just now is not very nice
rude lady : So rude
moi : *whipped out my camera, take a picture of her and post it in rudesingaporeans.blogspot.com*

Yesh, im still thinking about it.........

i wanna look cute and yummy!

i think i really beri 无聊！Initally, it was moi making faces of 喜怒哀乐，then i start being AC (act cute lah!)

Dunno how Tom can stand me！
真受不了自子！

i looked like a pufferfish!

Of injections, Breast cancer and boredom

The Queen is in an irritable mood today!

All thanks to the stoopid haze that takes forever to go away...
*sighz*

Just came back from Raffles Clinic...moi went to get my 3rd and last jab of Hepatitis A & B. If not for Tom's constant nagging, i would not have done this. Ya, i noe..should have gotten it done years ago, especially when i love to eat seafood (oysters, mussles, clams, cockles and CRABS!!!)
Ouchie! i hate to take jabs!! Thank god it's the last one! HAHAHA
I just found out that Oct is Breast cancer awareness month! Just contribute S$2 or more and you get this pink ribbon pin (from participating stores)!

So remember hor, if you are
20-39years old : Monthly breast self examination

40-49years old : Monthly breast self examination, annual clinical breast examination by healthcare professional, mammogram once a year

50 years and above:Monthly breast self examination, annual clinical breast examination by healthcare professional, mammogram once in two years(unless otherwise specified by the doctor) Check out this Health promotion board webbie:

fyi, Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Singapore

The queen feels so bored today...

I know im ultra bored when i start taking pictures of myself

Then i start to imitate the 喜怒哀乐 faces...
kekeke..damn funny

喜

哀

moi suck at making faces!!!! darn~

I wonder why the sky looks so clear~

Back from dousing out fires in Jakarta!! *just kidding*

Just came back from Jakarta. Pictures taken near the hotel..

Is it just me or do you think that Jakarta doesnt seem to be really affected by the forest fires?

Taken from online news webbie:
Oct 18, 2006 — By Crack Palinggi
MUSI BANYUASIN, Indonesia (Reuters)
Part of the newspaper report :

"Jakarta has appealed for funds and equipment from neighbors Singapore and Malaysia, which have also suffered from the haze coming primarily from the Indonesian provinces on Sumatra and Borneo islands "

How ironic is that?

Talking about ironic, i got more mozzie bites from my Jakarta trip! First it was at Tom's place, now it's in my hotel room!! Arghhh...I was like their feeding ground! Initally, it was my arms and body. So i covered myself up with only my face exposed (need to breath mah!) then they started attacking my face and ears! And with them buzzing around my ears, i couldnt sleep at all...
I HATE MOZZIES!!
*yawnz* feel so tired now...

BTW!!!! i just found out from my passenger that Krispy Kreme has a outlet in Jakarta!!! *bewildered*
NOOOooooooooo......Why Jakarta and not Singapore??
Plead to CEO of Krispy kreme..." Open an outlet in Singapore!!
i'll be your biggest fan!!"

*big yawnz* i'm so tired..gonna crash...ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Stop the bloody fires!! *cough cough*

After being away from Singapore for 8days, coming home to a smoke-filled and hazy enviroment was definitely not a pleasant welcome back.

Weather in Frankfurt was great! the cool autumn breeze makes me feel like im walking around in an air-conditioned room except its
au Naturel.
The same goes for New York! Pretty sunny when i was there... It was Colombia day when we touched down and we were just in time to catch the massive parade happening at 5th Avenue.
But here in Singapore, its a different story. The air smelled burnt, my clothes stink and my throat felt really dry after being out for just 2hours!!
ST online shows the PSI reading at 130 (4pm). That's Unhealthy level by the way. And let me tell you, its getting worse by the second!

I always looked foward to coming home after being away for a long time. I miss Tom, my family, my BED!! MOMMY COOKING!! But this time, i wish i had stayed in Frankfurt or New York for a couple more days. It just so horrible!


An all important person from Indonesia had apologised for the smoke choking the region. But please don't let it be NATO (No Actions, Talk Only).
While its too late this year to prevent the fire that cause the haze, it's critical to take action now in order to prevent future forest fires.

psst: moi operating a Jakarta nightstop tomorrow morning. Since i have a couple of hours there, mabbe i should try dousing a couple of fires and save Singapore from the polluted air!! how patriotic is that? HAHA!

Mozzies bites!!! Yikes

I hate mozzies!!

And i hate them more when they suck my precious blood!!! *ARGHHHHHH*

Poor me... *sniff*
had 15 over bites when sleeping over at Tom's place yesterday night!

7 of them just on my shoulders!! isnt that totally ridiculous!!

Best of all, Tom just had like 2 small little bump on his arm!!
Why are they tageting me? Does A+ blood taste sweeter to the mozzies??

Time to stock up on Mopiko!!! and Baygone to kill those bastards!!
*itch itch*

Amino Collagen from Meiji

First, it was the Clarins Total Body Lift. Now its Meiji's Amino Collagen!

Moi was convinced by my colleague to give this a try. She's currently on FANCL Tense Up but gonna switch over to try this new product from Meiji (cost is definitely a big factor in the switch!)

You know arh, since i started flying in 2004, moi can see a huge change(for the worse apparently!) in my health and body i.e like gaining 4kgs in 2years!! omg!!. I tend to fall sick really easily, my complexion worsen i.e pale and outbreaks, the vericose veins are starting to come out due to long hours of standing, my sleep cycle is affected. This is really really bad..

Time to start doing damage control!! which is why moi decided to give this Amino Collagen a try! i wanna aged beautifully like....Cindy Crawford or Kim Basinger

What's Collagen?
Collagen is a type of protein and one third of the proteins in the human body consist of collagen.

You notice that your skin somehow has lost its tautness... that your cheeks are becoming saggy... a shortage of collagen in the skin's dermal layer makes ur cheeks becomes saggy and your skin to lost it's bounce and tautness. If you do not have enough of it, the epidermis and the keratin layer crumble and droop. This results in sagging skin or wrinkles.

Collagen is contained in abundance in the organs, skin, bone and cartilage of living organisms. Very little is contained in commonly eaten protein, such as meat and raw fish. Milk, eggs, and soybeans contain absolutely no collagen. For even shark fin, which is rich in collagen, you need to consume two and a half fins to get the daily requirement (5,000 mg).

The magic sentence? WE NEED COLLAGEN!!!!!
Since the instructions are all in Japanese (i don't read japanese!!), moi went to their webbie:
http://www.meiji.com.sg/AminoCollagen/testimonial.htm

Recommended:
Best Mixed with 100% chilled fruit juice,chilled or warm beverages.
Instructions:
Put powder into cup before pouringbeverage or food.
Each tin lasts approximately one month

I bought them in Japan for around S$28/tin. Apparently, Guardians in Singapore have began selling the same product as well. A check at the shop shows that they are selling it for S$56/tin!! goodness me! that's double the amount i paid for in Japan!

i haven start taking them yet. Still Kinda skeptical about it. well, i shall wait for my friend's verdict before i give this a try..HAHA

Pepper Lunch@TAKA

What's Pepper Lunch?

From Wikipedia,
Pepper Lunch is a "fast-steak" restaurant franchise popular in the Tokyo area. There are over 130 restaurants in Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the United States.

Cooking Method
Metal hot plates are heated to over 200 degrees Fahrenheit by an electromagnetic cooker. Raw steaks (or chicken, hamburger, etc.) are then placed on the plates, where they cook in front of the customer. The meat can be eaten raw or well done, depending on the customer's preference; sauces and spices can be added as well.

Moi and Tom decided to try out it out after passing by the place a couple of times. (the long quene outside the restaurant convinced us that this must be the "IT" eating place)

Screams of "Irrashaimasssssse!" assailed our ears the moment we stepped in.

We placed our orders and wait for our food to arrive.
The food took pretty long to arrive. So Tom started fooling around with his phone camera.

TAKE 1: while waiting for the food to arrive *smiling*

TAKE 2: im losing my patience *bleah*

TAKE 3: WHERE'S THE FOOD!! *pouting*

Finally, the food is here...

Reading the cooking instruction...looks complicated..

Ready to go! let's start cooking our own food!

Tata!
its funny that we pay to cook our own food! how illogical is that? My beef turns out overcooked (i prefer my beef medium rare) and it was a tad too salty (must be too much seasoning! Darn!)
let's say its better to just seat back and relax, and enjoy food that's cooked by the professional chefs. That's what we are paying for right?
