Hi beautiful people, Due to work issues, I've been having trouble updating this blog as often as I would like to. It's getting tougher to string coherent sentences together into paragraphs (it seems!) and I don't like the feeling of being obliged to write something just so that I don't let people down. Know what I mean? So, I thought, maybe twitter and tumblr would be better options for me.

A nice surprise was awaiting me today when I got home from work. Yippee! My Banila Co purchase from eBay has arrived :) Have been using the Banila Co Let me BeBe Naked BB Cream SPF37PA++ for some time now. Really looove it but haven't had much luck finding a good and reasonablly-priced seller. Imagine my excitement when I saw the listing by Rumistyle shop on eBay. Couldn't resist clicking the "

Something I discovered recently which I just had to share :) Whether you have that someone special to share this delectable spread with, or am just going to indulge on your own, this is something not to be missed. I shared it with a friend last weekend; I think the food justifies the calories, lol. The portion size is good for 2 persons during that peckish period in-between lunch and dinner,

I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought my first ever Balenciaga. Aptly, it was the First ;P in fuschia no less. I fell deeply in love and there has been no turning back since. Anyway, I was glad I gave it a second chance. Many of you may still remember my encounter with the Giant Balenciaga City with the super heavy hardware. I thought that was the end of it, but how could I resist

Thanks to Aichaku and the generous Coleen @ Dunbar Jones, I've the opportunity to try out the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost. I received a package last week containing a press release and the Hydro Boost range of products, which includes the Hydro Boost Mousse Cleanser, Hydro Boost Clear Lotion, Hydro Boost Essence, Hydro Boost Water Gel and Hydro Boost Mask.

Had the opportunity to visit Tokyo past couple of weeks. Couldn't resist popping into the HMV at Shibuya, if only to see if the Japanese people really like Korean music (or the hallyu wave, they call it) as much as I've been reading abt it online. I realised HMV has a very good collection of K-pop and are really up-to-date with what's on the scene at the moment. Take a look ... ... Btw, I

Met up wif Mag over lunch the other day. It was a last min thingy (thanks for calling Mag!) n I'm glad we had the chance to lunch together. Spent the time gabbing abt K-dramas n stuff we'd read online. Mag is a really vivacious person yet thoughtful at the same time. We've to do lunch some time again, Mag! Mag also gifted me with a package of goodies. My goodness, that's a lot of things.

Haven't been updating for a while as things were getting intense at work and I was on an overseas trip last week. However, I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to the lovely ladies who had gifted me with their presence over lunch and dinner and the wonderful presents they gave me. Met up with Yumeko, Mag & Haru for dinner some time in Mar when Yumeko was in town for a work/play trip.

I've been trying to eat healthy these days. Since the detox thingy, thought it would be a good thing if I'd persevere for a while. So far, have been taking more veggies and water. I find Korean food is good for this ;) Loads of veggies and I really love kimchi. This is from a dinner recently. ---------------- Now playing: Ra. D - Goodbye (Original mix) via FoxyTunes

Today's the 5th & final day of my 1 (work) week experiment. I think we (my colleagues & I) outdid ourselves in the salad department. But more on that later. There were more meetings in the morning, so I grabbed a quick roti-prata with onions and egg. Roti-prata is a kind of Indian fried pancake made from dough; when made really well, it's an interesting mix of crispy and chewy textures all in

If there's going to be any falling off the bandwagon on any diet, I guess today is the day. Was out running about for some meetings in the morning and didn't have the time to think carefully about my food choices. Do I feel guilty or upset? Surprisingly, no, I don't. I think it's a gd break for me from the routine that I've been having the past 3 days. It also made me realise that wat we eat

It's the middle of the week and I think I'm starting to get the hang of this ;) My stomach is getting used to the low-fat or almost non-fat lunch. Tummy doesn't feel bloated after lunch time plus I don't get the afternoon drowsies much as I used to. Breakfast today was just a glass of green apple juice as I wasn't hungry and work was getting busy. Lunch as usual: 2 slices wholemeal bread;

And we're in Day 2. Breakfast today is a glass of fresh squeezed green apple juice. I'm fortunate: there's a fruit store near the office which sells fresh & cheap juice. Yummilicious ^^ I also brought a peanut butter & cheese sandwich from home. Here it is in all its uneaten glory ;P Lunch: Aaack, again I was too quick to gobble things down, hence no photos, sorry!

Had a case of skin sensitivities (which I thot I'd never see again but well, never say never) n had to pare my skincare routine down to a bare monastic minimal.

Merry Christmas everyone! How did you spend your Christmas and Boxing Day? I had been feasting non-stop since lunch on Christmas eve. Didn't have much inclination nor stamina (to be honest) to brave the crowds even though there were lots of sales and much bargain hunting to be done. However, I happened to be at Watsons over the Christmas weekend. It was a spur-of-the-moment thingy where I was

Ok, so this isn't quite beauty related. I'm sorry BUT I couldn't resist. Despite me going gaga n all fangirly over loads of pop acts recently, it's been a LOOOOOONG while since I got goosebumps while listening to someone sing.THIS gave me GOOSEBUMPS, of the good kind.

It was scrumptiously deliciously: the skin was crisp, crackling to the bite yet meltingly soft on the tongue, almost dissolving instantly. Ah, I'm almost drooling at the memory of it *kekeke*As usual, some food

I'm beginning to enjoy August more and more. Not just it's nearing the end of the hot and humid season but also, somehow there're more things to do, more things to see; people are just more alive in August. Tried a couple of new pastas this weekend. And as usual, I couldn't do without an ice cold blended drink :) Scrumptious fish fillets with penne in a robust lobster bisque sauce. I really

First the beauty stuff :)I've been lazy recently, just comfortably going abt my daily skincare/makeup routine without putting much thought to it. Have not been shopping for a while - was supposedly on a shopping diet which seemed to have worked for a bit. Downside of it tho: I tend to pull out all stops when I really do buy something.Case in point: Was browsing Sasa this afternoon for an eyelash

And it's got to be the hottest month ever. The heat is sweltering but I'm so grateful for my Lotree BB prime control base (or the equivalent of a bb cream from Lotree). I forget that I'm wearing anything tho I may be sweating buckets.Anyways, haven't been doing much in the makeup dept recently due to the heat. I have however been stuffing myself wif good food ;). Need the air-conditioning! And

Thanks to the many online ads as I go about my daily business, I've been greatly aided and abetted in doing some serious online shopping. So much for being on a shopping diet; I think I completely forgot about that since my Guerlain purchases.Since the temperature has been climbing steadily recently, I was on the lookout for a nice (read: cheap & pretty) summer dress for the weekends. Came across

The weather has been sweltering recently. I've taken to drinking more icy stuff.

So, I attended the Guerlain workshop yesterday :)There was a fairly big turnout, maybe around 30 participants if I'm not mistaken? The presenter was a trainer with Guerlain whose name I couldn't quite catch. The presentation started off with an introduction to the House of Guerlain - their history, their philosophy on perfumes, makeup and skincare.Then it went on to showcase the summer collection

I've been sticking closely to my skincare n makeup routine these days. Or make that just skincare n sunscreen routine ;P Lol.Nothing new in the beauty department. I have however been eating n eating n eating. It's durian season here, so boy, have I been stuffing. Was introduced to a family-run business dealing in these luscious fruits recently.

Sorry I've been missing in action for a while. June was a busy month for me in the office and personally. Was working on some projects at work and went travelling a bit... Before I knew it, whoosh! There goes the month of June.Have been keeping to my skin care and bb cream essentials for June. Finding it such freedom: it is a comfort to wake up in the morning n just go through my routine :) Plus

Discovered this Korean brand, Enprani, while queuing up at the 7-eleven store during my Taiwan trip ;) Have never seen this brand before even though it is supposedly the 4th best selling brand in Korea.It was a long queue, so I had ample time to read up the product description and its purported amazing qualities.

Came home to a lovely package on Saturday. My earrings from Pling had arrived! :)I stumbled upon Pling some time ago and have been subscribed on its mailing list since. The collections are updated at least once a month and I like the whimsical and interesting designs. This is the first time I bought something from Pling though not the first time I contacted them with my queries. Tracy, the owner,

These were taken some weekends ago. It's the first time I tried the breakfast items here.

Something related to fangirling today :) Boys before Flowers (or Boys over Flowers) was a very popular Korean drama which ended some time in April. Came across this article on the latest spring make-up trend in Korea, inspired by popular drama Boys before Flowers.These 4 looks are: Flower Pink, Romantic Violet, Bohemian Orange and Tropical Green. As their names suggests, each look will be

Had pizza at a quaint pizzeria on Sat. Each table was interestingly fitted with a huge piece of drawing paper and there was a pot of crayons on the table for you to draw with. We had fun trying to draw Mickey Mouse, lol.The pizza isn't one of the best I've ever had but the decor was interesting and the pizza happened to be of the thin crispy crust type which I really like :)----------------Now

Have been wanting a Balenciaga ever since they came out with their motorcycle-inspired range of bags. But I got distracted by one bag after another from other different brands and so never managed to get to it.Finally laid my hands on a Balenciaga City 2 months ago via thatbagiwant.com. To read more about my rental experiences with them, click here. This is sorta like dating with bags for me ;)

Supermarket browsing is another habit of mine, tho it's only recently that I've mustered more courage (and gotten much faster ;P) at whipping out my mobile to take photos of things which catch my fancy.This is one such instant.

Sorry I couldn't take better photos of the hauls.As you know, Aichaku had just been to Tokyo and both Bittenbefore and Aichaku have been travelling to Seoul.

That's the best my mobile's camera can do.Sweet peach and White grape; fruity flavours direct from Japan. Just in time for summer, don't you think? ;) We don't actually have distinct seasons here.

How's everybody's weekend? I sorta went through work on Monday in a rush, trying to do whatever it was that had piled up over the weekend and whatever my boss wanted me to do.Want to share some of my treasures from Taiwan. It's a shopper's paradise. Things aren't cheap as in if you're expecting to buy stuff for $1 or $2 a piece. But I find the prices very reasonable for the quality of the items

Something random for today.I'm looking forward to the looooooooong weekend! There're tons of things I've to catch up on and organise. Let's see ... I've to take photos of all my stuff from my Taiwan haul. Have been wanting to share with you but just couldn't keep up, wat with work and stuff. Perhaps it's also part denial - I can't believe I bought so much! Yikes.Review on my mascara haul. Can I

So with my mascara haul, I thot I'd check out some eyelash treatments as well. You know, things which make the eyelashes grow lusher and longer. Being an Asian (or a Chinese rather), my lashes are rather stick straight and not as long as I'd like them to be. I also tend to have problems getting eyelashes to curl. The best I've ever done so far was to go for an eyelash perm, but that can't be a

So, I sorta got caught up in a paint-my-nails fever after my nail polish haul and experiment last Sat.After a multi-coloured week, I thought it's time to return to something more subdued. This was done using an old Fancl Clevance polish I had as a base, Sylvie #19 for the tips and Canmake Colourful Nails gold glitter for the accent.----------------Listening to: Lisa Ono 小野リサ - Cheek To Cheekvia

When I was younger, in that not so distant past, I got caught up in the manicure and pedicure craze which led to me signing up for nail packages with a rather reputable (read: expensive but ok) nail salon in town. After a while, the pain of sitting on my butt for 1 1/2 hours each time plus having to keep my nails long got to me and I decided enough, nice nails or not, I'm not doing this thing

Got this as part of my Taiwan haul. There's been many reviews on this, so I won't say too much. Sufficient to say, I LOVE this. It's creamy (creamier than Lotree or Skin Food); it spreads well; doesn't irritate my skin, in fact it feels comforting my skin when I spread it; covers well ... and the list goes on.I wanna try the Caviar Gold BB Cream! :) Did you know they also have a night BB cream as

Ok, so I've a soft spot for handbags. But you ladies already know that ;)Was at Coach over the weekend. Oh my, oh my. So much for saying that I'll switch to Kate Spade from now on; I'm over with Coach ... yada-yada. I'm in love again.There's a new collection in stores now and it's lovely! (In my opinion ;P).

What with work and being sent on courses by my company and family (yes, my mum said I don't talk as much to her as before ... go figure) and stuff ... whew, I feel like a juggler with many balls in the air. The past week got me thinking on this blog and my myriad posts. Plus my hauls from Taiwan and some presents and the arrival of some other hauls, I think I've a lot of material to blog on til

I've been really busy at work and getting home late. Don't get to see the sun much these couple of days! Thot I'd better post a quick pic of some of my makeup hauls from Taiwan while I can. Sorry the lighting's so bad.This is a tiny fraction of what I bought. Guess you can tell I bought a lot of lippies and BB creams.

The before and after photos were really convincing too ;) The main photo shows the model after makeup whilst the inset shows her as she is BEFORE the 'big eye' makeup.

Well, whether this bag is named after Étienne de La Boétie or not, only time will tell if it's going to be a classic in the likes of the Speedy.Read more here.----------------Listening to: 김유경 (Kim Yoo Kyung) -

Tho I don't wear makeup for work, I do like to try out new stuff over the weekends. Among all the makeup items, my fave has got to be the eye makeup items: eye shadow, liner, mascara ... love them all :)Given my stick-straight lashes, I've been using waterproof mascara all this while. It works great for me, I don't have to worry if I should tear or happen to touch my eyes or watever. However, I

I've been quite blessed to have come across this brand here. This all came about some years ago when there was a credit card promotion for a body massage at a specially discounted price. The spa was centrally located near a train station and I was shopping around for a nice massage place, so everything fit in nicely.Went for my appt then and was suitably impressed by the service and hygiene

Life has never been the same after I learnt of BB Creams ;P Dramatic huh? hehehe...Anyway, will like to share about my experiences with 2 BB creams which I've been using regularly in lieu of sunscreen. One thing I do notice: wif the BB cream on, my skin gets less irritated and I don't get the sun-scorched feeling or little angry bumps even after lunch time, when I'm out in the sun around 12 plus.

Went window shopping at PageOne during the weekend. Oh dear. Oh dear. I've discovered another shopping haven to fritter away my precious salary. There were tons of books of all kinds and all subjects under the sun. However, wat really caught my interest was the stationery dept. It can rival that of Kinokuniya and Borders IMHO. Take a look at the photos and see if you'd agree with me or not.

It's like I'm using the actual oat or bran or herb on my skin. Except this comes handily packed into tubes for me :)So, before the AcmaMall promotion was over, I ordered 2 Dr Hauschka items.

There's a 1-for-1 promotion now going on at Fish&Co. It's rather a good deal: if you pay with a Citibank credit card, you pay only the price of 1 pasta when you order any 2.A fren and I happened on this while out for dinner and we managed to save some money ;PI thought this was very cute. A nice touch to the restaurant theme, don't you think?My fren ordered a mushroom spaghetti in pesto sauce.I

I went shopping on Sat. Heard so much about John Little and all its marvellous beauty goods from aichaku. Had to take a look for myself. I kid you not, it's a beauty junkie's paradise.There were so many things to see. I just had to capture them on my trusty phone cam. I think the camera did pretty well, didn't it? ;P This was the thing that triggered me off into taking these photos. It's a little

A surprise was waiting for me when I got home last night. There were a few boxes waiting for me; it felt like Christmas all over again ;P Did some online shopping last week at Acmamall.com. They are having a promotion for free shipping to certain countries AND a 30% discount on most beauty items. How could I resist? :P Did my sums plus some comparisons online. It seems to be the best value I

First eyeshadow purchase for 2009! :)This was a completely unplanned purchase. But things just happen when I'm in Watsons. Oh well. I couldn't resist the colour ;P Just had to get it. Tried it for the first time when I went Chinese New Year visiting. The colour isn't very pigmented tho. Used the white as a highlight on the brow bone and under my brows near the nose bridge. The pink went on as an

Borrowed these 2 books from the library last week. 大 S is a female artiste from Taiwan who is well-known for her talent as well as her grooming.When I learnt that she had a new beauty book published, my first thoughts were to check out Kinokuniya for availability of books 1 & 2. Well, the response was book 2 is available whereas book 1 is out of stock. Hmm, so it's back to my friendly library and

There's a celebratory mood permeating my part of the world this week. Posting a picture of the pineapple tarts which I'll be feasting on this season. Hehehe... have a good celebration!

So, I was reading up on beauty and skin care and stuff like that (remember this post?). Which got me thinking about organic/natural skincare ... one thing led to another and I found myself at the Dr Hauschka counter one day, chatting with this really chatty SA who was trying her best to find out what I need and to sell her stuff at the same time.I'm a little leery of trying new stuff on my skin,

It's the birthday of a friend's daughter next week and we are invited to celebrate with one very special girl on her special day :) Was wandering around Vivocity the other day and happened to pop into Page One. For book lovers, stationery lovers, lovers of all things kawaii, this is the place to go. Look at what I got:My 戰利品 from Page One: A bag of Crayola washable markers (can be used on mirrors
