Penny thoughts

My entire body is aching from yesterday water game show which will be making it's debuts next month June. Will not be going into details in today's entry. :D

Have been camping at home for almost 2 months. (eh, eh, eh, I'm not a want-to-do-nothing person) I'm actually waiting for my new job to start next month. I am so bored... Time to pack up my room, my room is like a war zone.

It's contradicting in a way that yes, I look forward to my job. And no, I'll be away from home for a period of time. Away from my cosy nest; my loved ones. Nah! My loved ones will be busy with work and all, they probably will not remember me until I ring them up! I'm homesick already. ):

Been feeling down recently, can't explain what exactly it is. Just the "low" kind of feeling. Felt that before? Well, many must have heard of this motivational quote, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I should yea? It's much more better than dwelling in sorrow and what's not.

Ever thought you will never make it and it's too tough for you? I believe that is when we grow stronger and braver. Even if you fail this time round, next time you'll succeed. If there's a need to cry, so be it. Someday.. One day.. you'll be stronger. (Just make sure we don't cry and cry and cry! >.< ) Gambatte!

I pray. I hope. I believe.

Jet Black Hair?!

Here's the entry I said I'll update soon. :D

Went to have my hair dyed jet black a week ago. Not that I do not like my previously golden light brown but I prefer current color more!

Light or dark?

It's Hassle free now :D

No more frequent touch ups on roots! Say byebye to uneven colored hair!

I'm considered fair skin and now that I have black hair, I look even fairer! Haha! >.<

Couldn't decide which salon to dye my hair. happened to be at Cityhall to shop with BFF, I went to Chapter 2 salon @ Marina Square. I don't usually visit the same salon. Still couldn't find one that I really like. ):

Anyway, the creative stylist, Xavier recommended that I do INOA hair color.

Prevent further damage to my already damaged hair. ):):):

Really that damaged? ): hair mask is a must have now!

It's ammonia free. I don't feel the stinging sensation on my scalp like how the regular hair dye makes me feel. No odour too! You don't smell a thing during and after. *thumbs up* good good :D It's less damaging to the hair, my hair feels the same as before the hair dye.

INOA: Innovation: No Ammonia

I also did a hair treatment too. had to because my hair is really dry from the last bleached light golden brown. *CRIES*

I'm satisfied with the result. Xavier and his assistant was very professional, My highlighted strands of hair were too stubborn for the new color, They touched up for me. So nice of them or else I would have walked out with a crappy hair. >.<

Gelish Manicure!

I have brittle nails which chip very easily. I can't drink milk due to lactose intolerance and I don't eat cheese (those healthy ones, e.g Kraft Singles) >.< I should start taking Calcium tablets.

Welcome to the latest nail technology! I'm glad there is gelish manicure available now!

Benefits of Gelish nails

• No chipping
• No peeling
• No smudging
• No cracking
• Glossy & flawless finish
• Soak off in short time, about 15 minutes

What's more, ladies who are lazy (like me) or ladies who apply nail color often can save the trouble of reapplying every other few days. Gelish can lasts up to 3 weeks! It can be applied onto our natural nails, without causing damage to our nails. They are actually healthier compared to normal nail polish!

After my first gelish, I'm addicted to them. Gelish makes my nails less prone to chipping. Here's my recent gelish design! Did them last week!


New nails & hair color!

Leoprints and 3D ribbons (:

Done this set of gelish at Far East Plaza.

The Daisy Nail Shop

11.30am - 9pm

Total damage: $83

Gelish does costs more compared to regular nail polish. BUT! They last! hehehe...

My gelish nails are still in good condition after a week. Say byebye to unglamorous chipped nails! *wave wave*

Next post; new hair color. I'm loving it! :D

  Goodbye for now!

Sister's ROM & my Insomnia

My dear eldest cousin (mom's side), Candyce is getting engaged! Attended her ROM at HortPark on Wednesday (9may). Actual wedding day would be on a later date. 真为她高兴！ We grew up together and she's just like a big sister to me. (: 我的姐姐要嫁人了。 *happy tears*

On my way to HortPark. 要迟到了！

The ceremony started minutes after Mommy & I reached. In time! (:

Candyce was so beautiful in her little white dress. Makes me wanna ROM now too! >.< Well, I'm just kidding. Many of our relatives were there to witness her important day too. Blessings from everyone!

Pic taken from Candyce's fb. That's my uncle, his wife & their 2 adorable kids with my 姐姐 & 姐夫!


I wish them 永结同心，永远甜蜜！

 Anyway, to my little problem recently...

Have you ever come across this problem? Being physically dead tired but just couldn't fall asleep? I'm like this now. Has been days when I do not have ample rest. Can't figure what is exactly bothering, I'm simply too restless to fall asleep.

Silly me. I looked up the internet to find ways to sleep better which I should be able to follow. :p These are some ways:

1. Sleep and wake up at the same time everyday.
2. Avoid computer use before bedtime. (i'm gonna stop watching *Running Man an hour before bedtime!)
3. Write out a “worry list” or “to-do list” of bothersome matters before bed to help my mind disengage.
4. Snack on protein and complex carbohydrates up to one hour before bed to enlist the aid of these naturally calming compounds. (muahahaha.! my favourite among the four!)
5. Exercise!

Night run (:

*Running Man: A variety game show from Korea. Heard good reviews on the show so I started watching and I CAN'T STOP! I can't watch them while I eat because I cannot stop laughing (LOL!!). They have many episodes. You can find them in webby like youtube & funshion. (: I guarantee a great laughing session!

Goodbye for now!

Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts

I didn't take photos on that day (Thursday) when I had Carousel with Baby & his family, so I would roughly talk about this award winning buffet restaurant.

Have been there for a couple of times. I must say, there are many buffets out there with varieties but Carousel is one with varieties, taste good and excellence service!

There are Mediterranean, Asian, Japanese fare, seafood spread, French Rotisserie and dessert stations. Spoilt for choice!

Their friendly staffs clear your plates almost immediately after you've finished eating so you can get your second serving! And I really appreciate this female staff for her help. Was kinda busy on that Thursday night, but instead of directing me to the condiments section where I can find the chilli sauce I wanted, she offered to get it for me while I waited at my table. Arigatou Gozaimasu!

Click here for their sample menu.

Click here for their prices.

Prices for dinner would be slightly more expensive but it also meant more varieties. :D

Managed to dig a couple of photos from previous visits!

First outing with ex-colleagues to Carousel. I miss them..

I look like I just drank. Why was I so red?! >.<

Snap! Snap!

Baby & I. To celebrate my 21st birthday!

*Apologies for the blurred photos. Photos were taken using phone. :D

Goodbye for now!

GEO Tri Color Blue

Never had problems with my contact lenses until I purchased a pair of circle lens from XXX blogshop a year ago. There were alot of online sprees going on, I would say majority are apparels and beauty products.

 Can't remember what was the exact lens series.What I do remember was the lens diameter was 14.8mm.

 I ordered the circle lens in brown color. The lens turned out to look more orange when it arrived. I thought the website might have put up a doctored pic of the lenses, the one I received should be the right color. 

Blood vessels became so dilated, sclera (white of the eye) of both eyes were red. And I thought(again!) it was normal since it was my first time wearing, my eyes probably needed time to adapt to a bigger diameter lens.

Two days of wearing were enough to put me through a month of blurred vision (even with my spectacles on)! And because I have myopia (roughly -7.00 one eye) and astigmatism, blurred vision back then, I had problems doing everything (reading from papers, phone, blah blah blah). So "blinded"!!

Lesson learnt: I figured I couldn't wear really big circle lenses. And also. Not sure of some matters? Ask and find out before plunging in. *CRIES*

Bloodshot eye after wearing the lenses.
太可怕了！

Now that I'm all well and recovered. I decided to try other lenses again. （ 你看，是不是屁股痒？！）*打屁股* Anyway, SG has limited brands of colored lenses, you might still get one that suits you, but if you're think of exploring more colors and designs, you might want to consider purchasing online (warning: at your own risk ah).

Was really bored at home, so I cam-whored a little. Credits to Daddy, for his light and camera.

I'm wearing Geo Tricolor Blue in the pictures.

According to various websites.

Product Specification

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Diameter: 14mm

Water Content: 38%

Usuage Modality: Yearly Disposable

close up look

• Enlargement: It does not make your peepers look bigger since it's 14mm, it's almost the same size as our iris.

• Color: The lenses are tri-tone so it blends well with my eyes. But because I have dark brown eyes, you can't really notice the color in normal lighting. A natural and not over-doing.

• Comfort: I tell you. 不舒服的！): I can barely wear for 3 hours. It made me tear so much. I guess its due to low water content and the lens being slightly thicker than my regular daily ones.

There shouldn't be any discomfort or redness of eyes if lenses suit us. I dumped this pair after this shoot. Eyes are more important yea? :D

Goodbye for now!

I Caught a Flu Bug!

Have been feeling unwell for the past few days. And it got worst today. Woke up with a running tap nose and a nasty cough. I could barely move my aching body.

Daddy was out early morning. Glad that Mommy came by to buy me breakfast although she has been sick for the last few days too. (Thank You, Mom! Love you very muchie!).

Nothing can compare with the love showered by parents.

So real, true and without a reason.

Mommy bought Laksa, Char Tow Kway and beancurd. More like a brunch already.

Hehehe..

I didn't finish all or course!

I shared them with Mommy. (: 

Really excited over tomorrow's dinner. Would be having dinner buffet with Baby and his family.

Gonna blog about the dinner after tomorrow!

Goodbye for now!

Need a good rest. Preparing to conquer the buffet spread! Woohoo!!

Movie Date: The Lucky One

Watched a movie with Baby recently. Has been quite awhile since he asked me out for a late night movie. >.< Just like good old times, him & I catching a midnight movie. (:

here goes..

The Lucky One

Running Time: 101 minutes

Cast: Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling, Jay R. Ferguson

This romance drama was adapted by a novel from Nicholas Sparks.

See Zac Efron's bicep there? The last movie I seen of him was High School Musical 3. From a young pretty boy to a charismatic man. Impressive. *whistle!*

Right, right. Back to the movie.

U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Efron) found a photograph of a woman when he was still on his duty in Iraq. He believed that the photograph was his "amulet", keeping him safe all these times. He was determined to find Beth (Schilling) and thank her.That was when complications and romannce comes into the picture. Logan hopes Beth could be more than just his lucky charm...

The movie can be a little draggy here and there (maybe its just me who felt that way, midnight movie after my bedtime hour. >.<) but its worth watching! If it's not showing in cinemas already, consider getting it's DVD or Blu-Ray Disc. 

Rating: 7.5 / 10
