Happy HALLOWEEN!

BOO!

Happy Halloween guys!
I hope you all have fun out tonight instead of mugging at home like me. I will be posting more updates soon so stay tuned! What will you dressing up as? Psychotic killers? Sexy nurse? As some people lie to joke:
"It's the only day out of the year that you can dress like a total slut and get away with it."

Too bad,I'm not able to utilize my white wig after all.
And not without any costume to go with it. In any case,have fun people!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Watch that denotes STYLE and PERSONALITY? No problem!

I LOVE TO DRESS UP!

Which girl doesn't like to dress up? We all want to style that says me,me and ME. Watch is an accessory that's great to go with any style. Not only it's importance is to tell the TIME but also MATCH your style!

For me? Both are equally important. I need to know the time so that I can properly allocate the amount of time that should be spent on doing each task. Yet at the same time,I need something that is more than just a watch.
A FASHION ACCESSORY!

Take your pick. Tell me,what's YOUR favorite?

Round faces? Square faces? Black,blue,pink,red or white?
Here's my top 3 favorite:
WHITE WHITE WHITE!
I love everything white. It matches well with many colours and the style of this watch is loud enough,show me the young punk yo!
How about PINK?
I'm a girl,pinks shouts feminism! It's gonna go well with my pink outfit!
Alrightey,BLACK.
So macho and seductive. Don't ask me why it's seductive. But the style of this watch has a certain allure,macho aura surrounding it. Mmmm. YUMS! -slurps-

"Always heading out,I need something that's loud.
That matches my outfit and says ME!"

Look at my bare wrists (ignore that green tag please),I need something to accessorize with my outfit! So white watches? No prob,I love white. It definitely goes well with my style! Or how about pink watches? Gonna go well with my sweater too! How about black? Will SO match my pants and give that "Oof,I'M STRONG!" -pumps arm in the air- OH YEAH!

Frightfest Media Preview @ Singapore Flyer

Halloween's on its way to scare you!

And one of the few places to check out the spook is.....

THE SINGAPORE FLYER!

Thanks to OMY.sg and Singapore Flyer,I was among the first few who had the honour to joining the preview of the Frightfest by Singapore Flyer that will be officially happening on the 28th,29th and 30th of October 2011.

Along with others,most of us dressed up. They were so brilliant that I feel underdressed :(
Darren,the very muscular auntie.
EEEKS!!!
Alvin and 2 ghouls,left and right.
The one on the left,the woman scares me A LOT! AND THAT DEAD BABY!
And I? I'm supposed to be Zoey from Left 4 Dead (L4D):

MY HEALTH PACK!
My sweater and gun.
Should have put on some fake blood too but it seems that not many people play the game much to recognise. I should have come as the white witch! Thought I might be overdress if I come in that but apparently NOT SO. Oh wells,till next year!

After registration at the lounge,we proceeded up to the flyer. I never get tired of seeing the view, its my country yo!
After the ride,we proceeded to check out the garden at Singapore Flyer. The Singapore Flyer has transformed the garden directly under the flyer into a dark spooky places with ghouls waiting to jump out on you! Just like western has their vampires and werewolves,the Singapore Flyer has Asian themes such 'The Lady in Red', 'Ju-on' and people wailing & burning joss sticks...

Talisman written in english???
Offerings placed everywhere,hell notes all over the place.
Wait,what? A laughing chinese campire? Now,that's a bit unusual. HAHA!

I wonder if they actually bought this real coffin. But this is how realistic everything is in there. Wailing woman offering you joss sticks...
Lady in red.
VERY GOOD MAKE UP!

Go check it out,because everything was very well-done and realistic! Down right to the lighting (spooky red and green lights here and there,somewhere),real joss sticks and hell notes thrown all over the place. PERFECT SPOOK I SAY!

We were afterwards treated to a special non-alcoholic Halloween Brew.
The whole experience was AWESOME and SPOOKY!

So what are you waiting for?
Go get your ticket at the Singapore Flyer website now!

Sponsored Advertorial

Good news girls,Ginvera has launched a new series of products!
This time round,this series is named Amethystory.
"Amethyst, a semi-precious gemstone, is a violet variety of the quartz often used in
jewelry. It has a unique colour and this gemstone is often believed to be a natural
tranquilizer for dispelling intoxication, relieving stress, soothing irritation, balancing mood and inspiring the intellect. In fact, the origins of the name came from the Ancient Greek word 'amethystos' meaning 'not intoxicated', a reference to the belief that the stone protects its owner from negativity. A large number of further miraculous powers are attributed to the amethyst in all sorts of cultures, including bringing you good luck and abundance."

So this time round,in this series,these skins products includes real amethyst granules to help rejuvenate skin cells,anti-oxidation & promotion of micro blood circulation for a healthier
and more luminous skin!

Today,I'm introducing you all 3 products:

Mineral Bubble Face Wash,Mineral Aqua Whitening Enhancer,Mineral Aqua Gel
(from left to right)

I'm actually very interested to try out the face wash because not only the packaging is cute,it is not the typical squeeze-out kind of facial wash but a pump! Now,facial cleansing couldn't get any more fun than this,could it?
Let's have a look now!
It contains 3 exquisite and effective ingredients for your skin - Amethyst, Hyaluronic Acid & Bio Energy Fluid. They are supposed to help your skin rejuvenate for a smoother complexion,balance oil secretion and provide ample mineral & trace for a healthier skin.
Cost in store: $14.90

*pump-pump*
Wooooo!
Look at this,all the bubbles! It's foamy,thick and creamy. Not that I have tasted it of course,but the texture isn't watery.
And facial cleansing begins!

I'm glad to say that despite this facial wash coming in a different form,it works exactly the same way like any other facial wash. The only difference that I feel personally is that it's more convenient. You just have to pump it onto your hands and cleanse your skin. It isn't harsh like some other products. I tried cleansing my face twice in a row and it doesn't make me face feel tight after cleansing.

Next up:
Aqua Whitening Enhancer
It contains Amethyst, Tranexamic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid to boost the hydration & whitening of skin & enhance the penetration of skincare products for full absorption. With regular usage,it helps to your lighten complexion evenly for a fairer, radiant and youthful glow.
Cost in store: $19.90

Just pour an adequate amount onto your hand and pat it onto to your face after cleansing. It doesn't give the oily or creamy feel. In fact,it feels refreshing as though you just moistured your face with water!

Last but not least,the Mineral Aqua Gel.
No colouring, no fragrance, this gentle formula is specially blended with Amethyst,
Hyaluronic Acid & Bio Energy Fluid to help enhance the removal of dead, dry & rough
skin & promote skin rejuvenation.
Cost in store: $24.90
Again...
*pump pump*
There! The texture is slightly creamy and not very watery.
Dead skin coming out. Skin feels more hydrated and fairer.

Now glow away,gorgeous!

SO-YEA!

Last week,I was asked to come along for food tasting in Downtown East. Initially,I didn't know what it was. Until I reach,I realised that we're actually about to try out beancurd! I had always wondered what's the big deal and why does everyone seemed so 'into' beancurd,I even have friends going out to eat beancurd for supper! Don't get me wrong,it's fine.
We all have our own choice of food for supper. But honestly,

in all my life I have never ever eaten beancurd before.

Really. I consider beancurd and other food like,black glutinous rice/tau suan/chng tng/black sesame paste etc as 'healthy food',which all looked so appealing to me that I therefore conclude that they are NOT. NICE. FOR. ME.


So-Yea offers 4 flavours:
Original (soya bean)
Almond
Matcha (Japanese green tea)
Cocoa (Chocolate) Using real cocoa

Noticed something extraodinary?
Yes,these beancurd are in cups! The idea actually came from lady boss's and her husband,who love to eating beancurd but always found it a hassle to find a place to sit down just to eat. So drinking of like bubble tea makes it more convenient,enjoy eating/drinking healthy stuff on-the-go!

Kitty meow meow welcomes you to the store! :D

Health benefits of eating beancurd:

1. Help to reduce skin problems
2. Natural antioxidants to treat menopause symptoms
3. Low in saturated fats & calories and zero cholestrol
4. Rich in Omega 3 and 6
5. High quality protein and prevents illnesses
6. Speed up healing of wounds
7. Move bowels and reduce constipation
8. Prevention of osteoporosis (high in calcium)
9. Easily digested and prevention of kidney diseases

Of course,this are the benefits of eating beancurd. If it's just soya beans alone,I suggest you go chug down a whole soya sauce! TEEHEE!

Here's Fenny trying out her beancurd.
Some people like to mash up their beancurd,some like to scoop it into many small teaspoon size pieces. Looks like Fenny enjoys hers this way!

Here is Ben's Matcha. He enjoy poking many holes. It reminds me of a lotus bud. Hmmm...
I personally love the chocolate one the best,really. It's just a perfect choice than the rest.

What's this?
It's a sample size of beancurd and grass jelly! Yes,you can actually add toppings to your beancurd. Exactly like bubble tea,but no pearls.

Miyo gave us 4 to take home!
And I must say,they are really yummy. My whole family loves them! Oh boy,I wish I could go get a cup right now. Not bad okay,for someone who doesn't really eat healthy to actually crave for beancurd. BEANCURD!!!!

Last but not least,a group photo with everyone!
Ben and I

I love sashimi!

I can't really say I'm a big fan of ramen and sushi but I do occasionally crave for Japanese food. What I love best is Salmon Sashimi.That freshness,that Q-Q taste... YUMS! I'm sure sashimi lovers out there know what I'm talking about. When it comes to sashimi,the freshness and quality is an important factor to enjoying the dish itself.

There are only these few places that I go,Nihon Mura and Sakuraya. The rest is a big no-no. And the best sashimi I feel,comes from Sakuraya Fish Market. They only have two outlets,one at West Coast Plaza and the other at Parkway Parade. I frequent the one at Parkway Parade on occasional weekends (no,you cannot stalk me!) and totally love the food there!

Sushi rice! You can try their wasabi,but I don't feel that its very fresh or spicy enough. Don't have the sudden burst of flavour in your mouth.
And here's the sashimi that you have been waiting for:

Scallops(left),salmon(up and down in orange), squid or octopus (right side,not I eat one) swordfish (middle) and some weird fish (top right)
They look so fat and yummy lah! So squishy that I can't wait to sink my teeth into them.
RAWR!

Nah,here's the close-up!
I love salmon sashimi,as mentioned before. I know that there are better fish out there,but don't spoil my taste buds. I love this salmon sashimi as it is!

Final look at the meal of the day.
They go by the weight of sashimi to determine the price. It's not very cheap,but I assure you that it's got some quality in there!

Osteria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands

Last Saturday was an awesome evening well-spent with people I love!

I have never really go for italian cuisine,so why not give it a try? I saw Osteria Mozza at MBS the other time when I was there to watch Swan Lake,decided to go for them cause I thought the ambience looked good. Gave them a call to make a reservation rather than risk walking in and being rejection on the account of a full house,but they only had a 5.45pm and 10.15pm slot. Gosh,that place must be really popular huh?

Cabbed there and reached at nearly 8pm. Being cheeky,we decided to try our luck at Osteria Mozza to see if its really full house. It doesn't matter,we have a reservation even if its full house at 8pm. And voila,they have a table! No waiting at all,we were seated immediately. Ha,to think that they gave me a 10.15pm slot over the phone. The place was 3 quarters filled lo,so many people cancel their reservation meh? HA!

We had a starter,which was called Affettati Misti:

Top left Prociutto di San Danielle, top right a salame, bottom right Copa. Right in the centre,is something like a fried dumpling called Gnocco Frito. Very yummy,cause its quite hot and empty inside,to be eaten together with the cold ham.

Next up,my main course would be Leg of Lamb:
Not superb,to be honest. I really suggest that you don't go for this. Tasted like some mutton satay which you could have easily gotten from the hawker centre. I don't like it cause its not really well-done. You can't really say the skin is crispy,the middles were not really all that tender either. Just feels like chomping and knawing on a piece of,oh well,ordinary meat.
Was a bit disappointed in this though,but I really must give it credits for its presentation. Looks good,isn't it?

Since we are here,I don't see why we shouldn't indulge. So we had a bottle of wine to go along with our main course:
Not an expert on wine,but it goes well with the lamb meat that we're having.
They have a in-house sommelier,someone who can recommend you a good bottle of wine within your budget. Pretty helpful,if you couldn't decide what would be good with your main course.

The ambience just isn't all that good for conversations and the music's a little loud. Not a very good place to talk,I would say. And the menu was mainly in italian,better go with someone who's familiar with italian cuisine. The translation doesn't shed much light on what you are about to order and I don't suppose you wanna risk having a bad course in such a nice environment,would you? The service was excellent,the staff was friendly and attentive to all our needs. They were quite knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu as well.

Heh,overall,its the company and food that makes a difference to the overall experience!
Not a very cheap place if you wanna visit,the bill ran up to $260+.
Hey,I'm not complaining. It's the overall experience that makes a difference! ;)

After dinner,we went over to Louis Vuitton. Nothing much there,its really like a museum lor. Having a look inside is fine,but I don't feel that they carry as much good as ION's LV. Then head over to Longines. STILL didn't get my watch that I want badly,cause I really can't make up my mind about Quartz and automatic.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Shall we play a game of chess?

As major exams are approaching,I as a student can understand how the rest of the students felt.
Angsty,insecured and so on.

So well,here's a piece of advise:
In life,we don't wholly use intelligence to prove our worth. No doubt that piece of paper is important,but that is only the initial stage of impressing our interviewers to meet us. The rest of our performance at work is then based on how we interact with our colleagues. Unles you're a boss or director at first shot,then I nothing to say lah! HA!

Intelligence =/= Winning

Knowing everything doesn't mean that you will win for sure. Being able to anticipate the next move is more important,or so I feel. For an example,chess board. You and the other chess player can see everything,isn't it? But does it mean you will win? No. Because you don't know what is your opponent thinking. So now you see why,knowing everything does not necessary mean that you will succeed or win.

So now,Opponent,shall we play a game of chess? =)
