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 !
