Yesterday I just went to remove my mole at my right hand. It getting bigger and dark. I post the picture for you to see the result.After remove, it become a hole as seen in the photo.Ehm, the beautician told me that it will heal within a week.I will post photo again after a week:)

3D mask

Mask is important for mosturizing the dehydrated face cause by long time exposure with Air-cond room.It is best if you can put once a week.If you are loaded and nothing to do , you can put on everyday:).

Now , there is better mask to use which is called 3D mask.See the picture beside.
When you use this mask, you still can continue doing your daily work because it won't drop from your face.Unlike conventional mask, you have to lay down for 15 minutes and sometimes the lotion is free flow from your face to your neck.
I found this 3D mask is very good design.




Currently I tried this brand, very cooling and mosturizing, worth to try:)

Facial and mosturizer

Ehm, 2 weeks coming to CNY. I went for facial.I bought coupon from Groupon. $28 for R6 facial at Jean Yip. Good experience to share to every one.I went to Jurong Point outlet. The first thing they do when I reach there is they have started to sell package.Ehm, different with other facial outlet that sell package after you finish the facial session. A bit tricky and need high skill of rejection.If no, you might end uo losing your $28 without trying their facial,haha..

They start with checking my skin face with machine. They told me, I have oily T-zone, freckles at my cheekbones, too dry at the area below my cheek that make it become dull but the collagen at the area below nose is ok.So the treatment that is suitable for me is hydration and after that rejuvenation and lingthening of freckles and dark spots.Each treatment needs about 10 session to achieve better result.10 session cost $1988 including $500 worth of products."

So, will you remove my freckles after the rejuvenation session?" They told me "No, it will just lighten your dark spot."
You need hydration. When your skin is hydrate, the dull part will start to brighten and after that, the freckles and dark spot will lighten.
I started to sweat. I told them straight that how I am supposed to pay you so much without knowing that your treatment is suitable for me.Finally they let me try their facial.

They give me shoulder and back massage before start facial.Overall facial was good but I never sign up any package with them as I felt too pricy.

The next day, I go to Robinson cosmetics counter to look for mosturizer as it has finished.I stop at Laneige counter and start trying on their mosturizer.The counter girl(CG) approaching me and try to help me.


CG: What are looking for?
me: I am looking for mosturizer
CG: What skin problem do you have?
me: dry
The counter girl looked at my face and try to analyse for me.
CG: Ehm, you have an oily T-zone, freckles at your cheekbones, dry at the cheek area and below.
me: Yes, you are right. So what moisturizer is suitable for me?
(in my heart I thing, wah it's exact comment as Jean Yip people.
CG: Ultra hydro solution. This moisturizer is very good.
(I tried to apply and I feel good too)
CG: Look at your skin, it becomes brighten right?
me: I nod my head.
CG : Your skin is actually ok. Now it looks dull,this is because of dry.When you used this moisturizer , it will hydrate your skin . When the skin hydrate, the dull one will become brighten as well as the dark spot become lighten.
me: oh really:)Ok,I will buy this mosturizer.

Ehm, it seems like my problem will be solved by just using this mosturizer.It's sounds better than spend thousand of dollar on facial.
Let see whether my skin will be improve with the mosturizer...:)

Auspicious Day to start work in 2012

I have been looking for this since December last year and finally I found it at herworldplus website. This 2 pictures are from them.




I guess a lot of people also looking for it , therefore I put in my blog.
CNY is coming in 2 weeks time, most of Chinese are preparing themselves to welcome the new year. A lot of preparation need to be done such as spring cleaning, buy the necessary goodies , new clothes and some money for angpow.

This year , the CNY is quite early and close to Christmas.The christmas has not over yet but must be replaced by CNY.The holiday season is quite long this year and after that will have to wait quite sometimes for next holiday.This is the phenomenon that will occur for people that stay in Singapore:)

Steamboat Broth

Look at that!This is the ingredients that use by my mom- in law to make steamboat broth.No preservative was used.No commercial chicken broth was used also. All natural. It tastes great and very sweet.

Preparation to welcome the new year (2012)

Recently, I have been clearing my cupboard. Some I throw and some I pass to other people. Almost half of things in cupboard are empty now. This is to create space for the new thing,hehehe.

Just read interesting article written by Lilian Too about recycle and re-use stuff. She said that It is advisable to always have new wallet every new year to attract new money and luck.This is really opposite from the thinking that I used to have and told by some old people. They always said that " The older and crumpled your wallet , the better your luck in money."As a result , I have not changed my wallet for years,hahaha.Ehm, since I have follow the old advise for years and money luck is quite stagnant. It might better for me to follow new advise and see the the effect.
It may take one year for me to tell you the effect.So just remind me to update you the result if you are curious:)

Geisha Looks

After I try the eye protection, the next day I try UV protection for face.I bought UV protection and face protection at the same time.

Oh my God, I have received the same comment as the eye UV protection.Somebody commented that I look like "Geisha"
I have been spending money buying UV protection and all end up not so good result.haiz..
Although it has very white colour, it has a pleasant smell. I like it.
As it is just bought, I still continue using despite the "Geisha looks".
Don't waste:)

Eye UV protection.

Normally I will put UV protection on my face and avoid eye area as instruct in the packaging. In long run, I find the area around my eye get darker due to no protection.
I decided to find UV cream that can apply to eye area.
I came across UV bright eyes from Lancome.

I apply this and go to office.
I find the colour is too white and bright.
Some of collegues thought that I applying eye shadow but it does not suitable for me.One even commented that I look like "Hantu"
Overall, the comment is not so pleasant to hear as I can say:)Frankly speaking , I never have such bad comment before when I try a new product.
But it's such a waste if I throw it away,hahaha.
I thing it will be better that if it is use as a eye shadow base instead of let it as it is.

 

Massaman curry..
Voted as no 1, most delicious food in world by CNN in July 2011.
Felt curious of how is its taste like, I went to Lerk THai and ate.

 

Ehm, massaman curry for me is like chicken cooked in satay peanut sauce...

What makes it no.1, CNN never mention how they did their survey...
But seems that not many people know about it also.

Vietnamese Beef Pho

I can't resist to eat this Vietnamese Pho. It's full of flavor, generous meat and vegetable inside.



I get this at Lotus Viet Thai, Vivocity kopitiam, basement 1.
It cost only $4.5 (Aug 2011).
I find it is taste better than that in Madame Butterfly restaurant.
Sometimes, I make a special trip just to go there when I feel like eating this beef Pho.
Thumbs up !

Teochew Fishball

Ehm...nice food for breakfast,lunch or dinner .Teochew fishball noodle.




I love the taste. The noodle is not super spongy. It is soft but not soggy.
Nice fishball,spongy and fresh.I would like to give 3.5 out of 5 because I feel it will be better if the noodle texture improve to become slightly spongy then current one.



Find it at bukit timah market.

SKII-Bare skin for a day

It’s a dream for every woman to have clear crystal skin. No need much effort to looks great. I am not a fan of heavy makeup that can turn to somebody else (unrecognizable).Show off our natural beauty and no need to hide with thick paint on your skin.
SK2 recently l launch a campaign on the true beauty and I am one of the supporter. To support the campaign, I go on bare skin for a day.
This is me, without make up.



Going make-up free is not a common thing to do while I am at work. I like to give some colour to my cheek and define eyebrow to make me look sharp and fresh. This time, I go on naked face without putting any make up on my face except moisturizer to keep moisturize in Air conditioner room. Surprisingly, nobody is noticing during that day. It feels great as I know that I am still look great without those make up on my face.



You can also join the contest by uploading the photos and tell your experience of bare your skin for a day.

Mate Tea

I want to share about my Mate Tea experience.
Bought because attracted by Quan Yi feng advertisement from Ripple.
I saw the tea a few times before in the Watson and Guardian but never buy because not familiar.
First time I drank, I feel very sleepy and my eyes immediately half close .
I was reading a book at that time but I could not continue as suddenly I feel very sleepy.
Second day I drank, no more sleepy effect.The next day I feel my complexion better.
Finally I drink it everyday as feel good and fresh during and after drink.
As the mate tea has a lot of health benefit , the more and more I like to drink it.

Globalization

Now , we can get product from everypart of the world easily.
The price is so competitive.
One click from internet, the whole list of sellers are come out.
Everybody sell the same thing.
So, how to choose?
As the seller ,what should you do?
I feel as a seller, they have to be make themselves known to buyer.
They must be reliable and trustable.

Konohimitsu Product

Konohimitsu actually has a lot of beauty drinks but not all are sold in Singapore, especially at Guardian or Watsons.
I have tried drank the "Jpan beauty drinks".It claims that contains a lot of collagen.
It has some perilla smell combine with fishy note.Overall smell is still acceptable.
Original price is $39.90 but currently it got 30R%discount at Guardian and Watsons.

Thinking of getting for eye bright function but seems like it does not sold in Singapore, haiz...

Detox Tea

Detox for the body is necessary.Especially if our diet is full of unhealthy stuff, oily food and unnecessary toxin.
Recently I purchase Konohimatsu Detox tea with peppermint flavor.
First time I drank, the effect is very good.I can feel the tea clean my stomach and intestine.After about 8 hours, it will cause to pass motion for about 2 times only .It will follow with slight discomfort but not pain.
After that, I feel very light and fresh.The next day, my skin feel smoother.
Worth to try.

Exam Time

At this time, I have to put more time on my exam preparation.Therefore, my lovely blog is a bit neglected.My school post an encouragement article for all the students before exam. I think it is good and interesting. I would like to share with whoever read my blog :)

Here we go,....

Dear Students,

Another semester has come and gone. Now, you will be focused on preparing for your exams. As you look back to the time when you decide to take up your degree programme with UniSIM, I am certain that it was a brave and giant step forward to fulfilling your dreams and life goals. However, along your journey, you may have found yourself feeling discouraged and possibly disillusioned when you find that things are not turning out the way you have envisaged. If this is where you are right now, take time to read the following article and see if you can glean some gems of wisdom and encouragement to help you move closer to your dreams and goals.In the meantime, here’s wishing you success in your exams. And do take care of your physical and emotional health during this important time of your student life. Don't Let Your Life's Goals Fall By The Waysidefrom the American Counseling Association
8 November 2008Most of us have dreams and goals that we once thought were keys to our happiness, but that, for whatever reasons, we just never quite achieved.
This doesn't necessarily mean we're not happy with our lives, but we still may feel frustrated or disappointed about those unfulfilled dreams.
While there's no magic way to make all your dreams come true, you can take action to get closer to your life's goals and to lessen those feelings of frustration.
A starting point is to put the past behind you. Holding on to unresolved anger and old resentments uses up energy and accomplishes nothing. Forget past hurts or abandonments and instead begin managing your daily life so that it reflects who you are and what you value.
It also helps to be realistic in evaluating your goals. In romance, for example, there is no "ideal" relationship or "perfect" mate. But there can be someone who can accept and care about the real you, and who is able to get things right more often than wrong. Similarly, there is no perfect job, but there are work situations that can challenge you and provide a real sense of accomplishment.
Knowing yourself is vital to feeling more fulfilled. What are your personal strengths and interests? Once identified, put time and energy into nourishing them. Rather than trying to be someone you're not, enhance who you already are. Whatever you do well, do it frequently and proudly and you'll find that rewards will follow.
If you want to achieve specific goals, it's vital to take action toward them, rather than simply dreaming about them and waiting for things to happen. Even small steps in the right direction make a difference. Maybe it's a first phone call, rewriting your resume, or taking a class. While we usually know the end result we want, we often fail to take the first step to get to it.
You also want balance in your life. Saying "no" to excessive demands on your time, talent or goodwill will allow you time for the things you really want to do, without the resentment and anger that comes from agreeing to things you really don't want to do.
Reaching your life's goals means that you stop letting old beliefs and other's ideas define who you are and what you have to do. Instead, accept that you, and only you, can take action to reach the dreams and goals that really matter to you.

With Best Wishes,

school.

Ginger Drink

I bought this product from Thai exhibition in Thai Embassy orchard.
First time I tried, I find that the drink tasted nice and warm.
But because of just arrive , I decide to buy later when I want to go home.
Therefore, I proceed to eat and enjoy the activity there.
After just one hour of walking around and tried a few food there, I decided to go home and I proceed to buy the ginger drink as plan.
Guess what, the ginger drinks has been sold out. It only left 2 open display boxes.
On the board, it is written 1 boxes cost $5 dollars.
The shop keeper said " We are closing,we left 2 boxes but it is opened, you can get both of them for $5.Guess what, I bought the 2 boxes despite they are opened.Anyway, only the paper boxes is open the rest is complete and intact.It is a good buy:)

I like the ginger drink, it tastes very natural and the warm effect is very good.
I often attend clas at night, the air conditioner was very cold.I was freezing for 3 hours.After go home, I will drink this ginger.It makes me feel warm and nice.

Eye again

Eye again.

Yes, Eyes are important.
Recently, I just found out from my friend about the new ingredients that is good for eye.It is Lutein.
Lutein is actually naturally occuring caretenoids.It found in green leafy vegetables.
Lutein is employed by organisms as an antioxidant and for blue light absorption.Ehm, I have done some research and found that Lutein has very important role in our eyes.Lutein was found to be concentrated in the macula, a small area of the retina responsible for central vision. The hypothesis for the natural concentration is that lutein helps keep the eyes safe from oxidative stress and the high-energy photons of blue light.
Since lutein is for blue light, I have found another info saying that blackcurrant is for purple colour.This is good for see thing under dim light.

There are product that contain complete ingredients for eyes, it is called "SUper Lutein",unfortunately this is under MLM,hence it is a bit difficult to buy.

I am still looking for other product that can buy freely from store like Guardian or Watsons.
