How small is our universe? Video provided.


Do you know how small is our universe?



Light travels in exactly 299,792,458m/s . That's 29.9 million metres,approximately 300,000km per second! So imagine our latest radio detectors can detect up to 13.7 billion light years away. That is up to date,how good our technology is. And the ratio of the planets,everything is accurate. Actually,whether you want to believe it or not is okay. Have a look and hope you enjoy the video :)



-This film shows the known universe as mapped through astronomical observations. Every satellite, moon, planet, star, and galaxy is represented to scale and in its correct, measured location according to the best scientific research to date.
The data is maintained and curated by research by astrophysicists at the American museum of Natural History as the Digital Universe Atlas.


I believe,life form definitely exists in other parts of the Universe. Just that we do not know,and we don't have the technology to travel so far into the future. Yes,from this video,I marvel at the size of our universe. And I hate it because it makes me feel so inferior,insecure and insignificant. It makes me scared,what lies outside our 7 planets? If we are only a speck of light dot,what about the other specks of light dots that are next to us?

I feel extremely scared,insecure after watching this video :(

I'm on top of Eiffel tower! ...without a lover,sad me :(

Let's take a trip to Paris and I will bring you to the top of Eiffel Tower.

Beautiful,isn't it?
Seeing it on postcards,googled images; but nothing beats seeing the Eiffel Tower personally. I took a train there after visiting thee Louvre,I think I reached in between 5pm-7pm (Paris time) about 2 months back. Anyway,from the train station (feels like the east-west line in Singapore) all the way to the Eiffel Tower,there are people selling Eiffel Tower souvenirs. It gets more and more expensive,so if you buy right before you reach,it is the cheapest.

The number of people queuing to buy tickets up the Eiffel tower is madness! It's such a long queue. I lost track of time,but I'd I probably waited for half an hour? It feels long because it is VERY cold. Being small framed,I only wore 2 piece but it wasn't enough. And there were street peddlers who would constantly approach you to buy souvenirs. And cold mineral water. Like I would buy!
There are groups of guards walking around,not just one. And you cannot bring any glass bottles up the tower,they will put your stuffs through the scanner before letting you up. Anything happens? Just shout for them. Mmm,sexy!

Mid section of Eiffel tower.
You can choose to buy a ticket that goes all the way to the top or just up the second floor. I'm a youth because I'm in between 12 - 24 years old,so a ticket all the way to the top only cost me €11.50 ($19.55). Mid way would be €6.40 ($10.88). So I might as well go all the way to the top right?

Everything just look so small isn't it! You can click on it to enlarge.


Top floor of Eiffel Tower
The wait to take the lift up the top of Eiffel Tower was superbly cold that I kept trembling! What to do? Hello,I have got no one with me there okay. Mad saddening. Maybe I will just google Hugh Jackman and photoshop him to stand beside me! -beam-

I'm holding something in my hand. There are 2 kinds of flavor,one costlier than the other. A cup of it cost 17 euros. I guess it's actually worth it to down it with your partner while enjoying this view,it's so warm and slightly against the cold. And with your partner? That's probably the max combo! No wonder they call it the City of Love,because of the view from the top of Eiffel Tower!



And wanna see Louis Vuitton?

Made this my last stop. It was 1 hour before I was due to leave Paris.


Paris is such a wonderful place!
I didn't get to go shopping too much cause I didn't know where are they located. I only went to see certain landmarks and famous-y stuffs over there. For the past few days,I kept dreaming of walking along the streets once again. Sheesh. I will be back.
Au revoir,Paris!

DESIGNS!

They are no longer the plain white but with designs. Those above is just a couple of example. They don't only come in grey but in purple,pink and orange as well.

Indie collection with 3 designs in a pack.
No worries,definitely no red colour. We don't want it to be *erhum,clears throat* confusing either.

Lovely Ven and I at the event.
After that we were led outside. Many of us were wondering what is going on when they revealed: We're about to exhibit our creativeness by colouring the boards that says WOW!

I am in the second,which is the middle top portion of the WOW word. Our theme is feathers!


Feathers,feathers,feathers.
Oh,feathers! I met Dawn and Wynnette at the event as well. Call me a bad friend,but I always mix these 2 besties' names up. Dammit! Okay,beside me is Dawn and beside her is Wynnette.

Silver and I


The overall event was really fun. We get free flow of Ben & Jerry's ice cream too! Unfortunately,before Ven and I head down to the event,we had a delicious round of dim sum at Din Tai Feng,so we couldn't really stuff ourselves any more. Beautiful memories to bring back:




_____________________*Additional information*____________________
Special designs comes with a high price? We say no to that! These only cost you $1.95 for a pack of 6! So many different designs to choose from,go ahead and give it a try. You saw it here first,Kotex has chosen Singapore to be the FIRST to launch these designs.

Michael Jackson's Heal the World cover,on guzheng!

HARROW!

So sorry for leaving this space for a long time. Everyone just gets busier as the end of the year approaches,so do my schedule gets busy too. Remember before mid-year I done a collaboration on Massive Attack's Teardrop with a chiobu from New York?



Aha! Watch that video yeah?
We did not only do this video but we did a Michael Jackson's song as well! Wheee! Unexpected isn't it? Go on,watch it. Don't be shock,I may not be good but at least I play a classic Chinese instrument! Another reason to watch the video? She's real pretty with the heart of an Angel!


Michael Jackson- Heal the World


Don't forget to check out her youtube channel here and twitter here.
She is a extremely talented re-composer of Chinese pop music. She even did Lin Junjie's Mu Nai Yi! Fantastic isn't it? Go on,click it.

Last but not least,enjoy the music :)

Photos of a good day in town

Must a good day be out shopping and catching movies,making ourselves tired and finally collapsing in bed at the end of the day? No,definitely not. A good day in town,is walking in no rush to anywhere but the top and enjoy the scenery.

Lovely day it is,not sunny yet not raining either. It's the best to look at the clouds and the orange sky behind them.

Droopy flowers that decorated the place.
Quite a relaxing place to be at,unfortunately the security guards don't allow people to sit there.

Waiting for someone to go for dinner and movies.
A yummy spaghetti dinner and a good movie. 'Love in disguise' the main lead plays the guzheng,how nice! It makes me wonder what should I do with mine too,since I already got my diploma. Go to China for 4 years to further studies?


Night came,but it never rained. Only the big wind that blew our hair messy...

Chocolate banana cake and ice cream to end the night,yummy!

Top it off with a mango-peach smoothie.
Both are nice,but it's a mistake to get these at the same time. One lose it's sweetness to the other. Nevertheless,yummy.


Lovely lovely day it was,things at my own pace. I don't have to rush to somewhere,rush for anything at all. Lovely lovely day it was. Have a good week ahead too,readers. Tata!

City Under Siege movie review: To watch or Not to watch?

City Under Siege


Sunny (Aaron Kwok) is a clown in a circus act but he aspires to be a top performer just like his dad, The King of Flying Knife. While in Malaysia, Sunny and a few of his circus performer friends go for a treasure hunt, stumbling upon barrels of bio-chemicals left from the war. Upon returning, some of the members are mutating due to inhaling the bio-chemicals but Sunny seems fine from the exposure. They gain extraordinary superhuman powers. The leader of the entertainment outfit Chang Tai Chu (Colin Chou) decides to use this newfound strength to do evil. As there is an increase of crime in the city, the media and the police get involved. Kungfu master Suan Hou (Wu Jing) and policewoman Xin Hua (Zhang Jin Chu) enter the fray, while Angel (Shu Qi), a reporter who is recently demoted, also pursues the case in hopes of rescuing her flagging career.

I would rate this movie 3.5 stars against 5. It's a good movie about romance and action. Aaron Kwok really does immerse himself in the role. And Shu Qi is still the chiobu,just look older only. Definitely a movie not to disappoint you. Catch in cinemas on the 19th August!

One of the funny moments to expect
-spoiler alert!-




















FAT AARON!

AQUALABEL

AQUALABEL!

Here at Ngee Ann City's Watsons,there was a special appearance of Mediacorp FM933 DJ Siau Jiahui together with AQUALABEL. It's a good product,which drew many people to see what's going on.
DJ Jiahui holding the mic for AQUALABEL's representative (I really like her hair,very style!) for a lucky lady to try out their Aqua Enhancer.

And here are the beautiful ladies of the day!
From Aqualabel and Shiseido with DJ Jiahui inside.


My take on AQUALABEL?

White Protect Milk UV!
This acts as a SPF30 PA++ moisturizer to keep our skin radiant and protected from our environmental stress(such as the sun). Who wants our facial skin to sag? This not only enhance the skin elasticity,it also improves our skin texture! I love it as it blends instantly with no white residue and unlike many other moisturizer,this is extremely light weight.

PCK movie review & guess WHAT I took from GV theatres!

Stomp stomp stomp

Yellow boots! Hohoho,it's movie review time. This time,it's

Phua Chu Kang: The Movie

Check out the trailer here:

More than a decade after his yellows boots first kicked up big laughs on TV, Singapore's favourite contractor has finally made the big leap to the silver screen. Now based in Kuala Lumpur, Phua Chu Kang and wife Rosie get a visit from Kang's beloved Ah Ma. But even before she unpacks her luggage, Ah Ma disappears. What happened to her? Did she run away? Why? Or was she kidnapped? Kang's desperate search for Ah Ma leads him in an old folks home and its smarmy CEO, Lim Lau Pek, who offers Kang a lucrative contracting job. But first, he has to beat his arch nemesis, Frankie Foo, who is after the same job.

Things take a surprising turn at the old folks home when Lim takes an amorous interest in Rosie, then Kang is accused of killing one of the elderly residents. Is Frankie behind this? What is Lim Lau Pek really up to? Kang finds out a secret about his distant past that Ah Ma has kept from him all these year, and he meets a relative he thought was long dead. Traumatised, Kang has to choose between business and family amid unexpected alliances.

Will our hero do the right thing?

My ratings for this movie is 3/5
It really is a hilarious show! Not to forget,the actors (Gurmit Singh and Irene) came to the theatres after the movie ended. They are remarkably good actors,really know how to make the crowd laugh and immerse themselves in their roles.

As that is the last day of Yishun GV before they start renovation,we were all allowed to take something home from the cinemas. Such as small pieces of carpet. But they aren't that stupid,we might just throw that smelly/unhygienic nice carpet away right? They framed it up for us! But I took something else instead. And until today,whenever I look at it,I kept laughing.


THIS IS IT.

7 Chakra Haven in Adonis,the best massage I ever had!

What's best to be done on a Friday night?
MASSAGE LAH! After working for the whole week,it's time to relax. Partying should be reserved on Saturday,when you are refreshed after a good night of rest on a Friday night. Before you head home,take a trip down to...

No sleazy massage parlors,I mean go to Adonis!
I'm sure a lot of people heard about Adonis before don't we? I gladly accepted an invitation to take a trip there and try out one of their treatment. And I'm glad I did,because the treatment is just so wonderful! Adonis truly live up to its standard. The treatment that I had was

7 Haven Chakra
.
......

There are 7 points in our body which affects our emotions and body functions. It is located within our body,you can call it a form of energy. Let me show you where are these locations.
More or less located the points already? Stop touching yourself lah :p
Anyway,these points are closely related to each other. One point will affect the next point and that is why some people find their whole body feeling very tired. An example of what's going on:

You have a headache,splitting headache. Your crown and third eye chakra has be been affected. Soon,after awhile your shoulders starts aching too. That means your throat chakra,located closely next to the third eye chakra. Then your chest starts to feel uncomfortable. This goes on and on. It can't be your head pain and suddenly your stomach also pain mah,correct? It goes down,point by point.

Cutting this short,7 Haven Chakra by Adonis uses essential oil treatment to help balance your body and relieve the stress pent up inside. Enough talk,let's take a trip inside and show you what's going on. Here's how it looked like inside:

No worries about the treatment. The main thing they want to help you is to relax,so they wouldn't be talking to you but let you enjoy the treatment. Don't worry about the awkward silence either,there will be soft instrumental music playing in the background. Hey,I heard Ayumi Hamasaki's music being played! Acoustic version,totally loved Ayumi to bits.

7 essential oil to put rubbed on you.
Each oil actually smelt different,7 different kinds of smell.

Look like I'm praying hor? No lah,the manager,Meina invited me to smell the last one,the root chakra. I'm not saying that I felt the effects immediately,but it did help me to relax a bit and not feel so nervous. Standing beside the manager is Crystal,she is the one who is attending to me.


Not too hard,not too soft.


Soooooooo relaxing that you kinda feel like sleeping.
Most people are afraid of those china people who massage and squeeeeeeeze super hard that it's so painful to even relax. However,you can be assured. These people at Adonis,they are professionals.

A cuppa tea to flush the toxin out of your body. Alternative choices are Anti-flush and Energy Pack.

It costs $280 per session. But WAIT.
DO NOT GET TURNED OFF.
Adonis has generously offered 5 lucky readers of mine a chance to indulge in this. All you have to do is:

Email your name, NRIC ,contact to
pick.my.entry@gmail.com

Subject title? iloveyingziblog !
Seriously,I rock. You've gotta be loving me! Don't be shy,I wouldn't know if you are secretly in love in me or not,so just go ahead and send in your details. And who said guys aren't allowed? I saw a hot Angmo leaving the place with a pleased expression on his face! No hanky panky allowed okay. And,because they are professionals and not pushy like some places who will force people to sign up for their packages,they have gotten a CASE trust.

Now,do you still need anymore reasons to email them? I think it's enough said!

Little updates on my current life: MONSTER STUDY! RAWR!

Monster rawr!

Little updates on my current life now.
Common tests from Wednesday to Friday,I gotta study study study!

Not saying that I given up hope on Math,but I think those are die-die-memorize-formula subjects. So I gotta learn from those formulas. I have yet to memorize essays for my Social Studies! Gosh. Reading up on Physics now,circuits are making the circuits in my mind go haywire. But it's a subject that I have confidence in. Continue to study~ After this period I should be able to relax. Time seemed to pass so fast,after my trip I could still remember telling myself that I wanna study hard for my common tests,in a blink of an eye,common tests are coming in a couple days' time.
Glad that I have a couple days to study,thanks to national day.
Happy national day,Singapore!
