Ootd

No joke. All the diarrhoea and vomiting caused me to shed off 2.5kg. I wish I can drop another 3kg though, but not through this way!

OOTD: Floral bralette from F21, denim shorts from bugis street, random denim jacket.

I love the bralette! The back is a lovely mesh lilac! Bought from F21 in Hawaii.

Same pic (#nofilter) as per my facebook but after BeautyPlus app, "sweet" filter. 


Movie Review: Out of Inferno



Movie title: Out of Inferno
Ratings: 4/5
Comments: Although not exactly labelled a sequel, we somehow expected it to be something like 《十萬火急》(英文:Lifeline), if you still can recall it being an awesome thriller flick in 1997 with Sean Lau(刘青云) as a resourceful firefighter. (Initially thought it was the same director but it wasnt) The show is still very engaging, indeed did not disappoint but I actually prefer 'Lifeline" more, just because I feel the flow of the plot is more cohesive and logical. Script is not that well-written. Seriously, from daybreak till night fall, couldnt the ladder crane be drove to where the victims are? And for the final last part......I shant be a spoiler...but I thought it's just not possible for the victims to simply walk out like that after the fire was put out by the water; if it's really that easy, the firemen would have done it easily from the beginning. That being said, the directors did a great job.

September 2013 Favorites


Here's my September 2013 favorites. Not many, because I was really busy, and also because some items were a let down. Initially I was harboring hopes that the much raved Mrs Bunny Travel Kit Brushes from Sigma Beauty which I bought from Luxola's birthday sale will be a great favorite. Sadly it isnt. Granted that the brushes are extremely soft on the skin, no shedding whatsoever, however they trapped too much products which makes them inefficient and a total waste of my pigmented eyeshadows/blushes; I have to use so much more product than usual and yet they dont transfer to my lids or cheeks, only to the cotton pad when I am cleaning the brushes. Arrghhh! The foundation brush also streak. The packaging was cute and pretty and the travel kit cylinder holder is great for holding the brushes, but other than that, they're much much smaller than the pictures shown and I dont think they're worth the price. And I'm just glad I purchased them with a 30% off else I will really be kicking myself. =P Will be trying out Real Techniques brushes soon. 




O.P.I. Nail Lacquer in 
Thanks a WindMillion

This is the most true-to-pic picture I found online; picture credited to twoheartstogether.com. Lovely, elegant green which makes your skin looks fairer and brighter. It was a random colour I chose during a pedicure session and I was so surprised it looked so much better than on the nails colour palette. Will definitely be purchasing it. 








Beauty Credit Lovely Face Powder 
- Loose power in 21 crystal

This simply works great when worn alone; when I'm just going to nearby and not wearing any foundation/bb-creams. Thus, I just want something fuss-free, and light on my face, offering slight coverage without burdening my face too much. It brightens up my face while still looking very natural and makeup-free. It also lasts a good 5hours or so, which is enough for me if I'm just catching a dinner and movie out of town. You can use a colour-correcting base before it but not recommended for use with bb-creams/foundations as it will look heavier. 











VS(Victoria Secrets) Perfect Body Smooth me over - Pink Sea Salt - Exfoliating body polish

Simply love the packaging, sweet and classy all in one. It's a birthday gift from my darling, Gra and I love it as much as I love the girl herself. =) As the name suggests, the salt scrub is really in pink! It certainly needs more water(apart from a wet body) to be blended well for good exfoliation. Apart from that, it works miraculously well on smoothing and brightening the skin as well as keeping it hydrated, which is something lacking in most scrubs. If you have dry skin then try this out; it's less harsh but still able to give you gentle exfoliation without over-drying your skin. The product has fragrance but not really one which lingers after you've washed them off. 









ZA - Cleansing Foaming gel

It's supposed to act as a makeup remover too but I merely use it as a normal cleanser. I love the fresh and cooling sensation as well as how clean, supple, smooth and hydrated my skin feels after that. This combo feeling is something which I've never experienced with other cleansers. Shiok! =) I also realized it's less oily at t-zone and pores also got smaller. 














Fiberwig Paint On False Lashes - Extra Long

It simply lengthens my lashes to a new record length! Enough said!

SAVH - Most therapeutic and amazing massage I had. =)


Few weeks ago, I was having this really bad ache on my left shoulder and back. Basically, it started from my left neck, shoulder and all the way down my left back, stopping midway. I reckon it was because I carried too heavy stuff on my left shoulder. It was so bad that dearie intended to bring me to sinseh if it continues. However, I was very lucky to have a chance to try out a massage from the Mobile Massage Team. I only did a half hour session on my back and shoulder and miraculously my ache was all gone! And it's only half an hour! I was SO IMPRESSED. I'm super picky with the standard of my massages but I must say this is the most therapeutic and amazing massage I ever had. For normal massage outside, whenever the masseur kneads somewhere which is very painful, I have to point it out to them, "lighter abit". And usually they will use that lighter pressure throughout the whole body, which is totally unnecessary because it's only that particular area which I need them to be softer. Thus, the whole massage usually goes like this...."here softer abit.............here harder abit.........here normal....." Which dearie always laughed at me for being a klutz. What lah.......it's the masseur not pro enough okie!! Do you have such experience before??

Madam Yap did my massage(on the professional massage chair) and the reason why I was so impressed was that I dont need to point it out to her where to use less pressure and where to use more pressure. She can feel which part of my muscles are tight(thus painful for me) and she will automatically apply lighter pressure, repeatedly to soothe the tension. Once she left the "problematic" area, her pressure increased and it resumed to normal. For the whole massage, other than conversing with Madam Yap towards the end, I dont need to instruct her on the level of her pressure; she just knew automatically and applied the suitable amount of pressure. She also sensed I have chest pains(because she felt a knot on my left chest) and taught me a few exercises to do to relieve the tension in my chest area. 

It was also extremely economical as compared to the normal massages outside. What makes it special was that the Mobile Massage Team is a crew of qualified, visually-handicapped masseurs from SAVH(Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped). Unless you interact with them, you wont know they're visually handicapped because they dont look like at all. You probably wont believe it but their massage skills are easily more than twice as good as the masseurs outside, which are mostly PRC or Filipino FTs. And no wonder, these aunties and uncles have more than 10years of experience. I have nothing against these FTs coming to Singapore to earn their living but I definitely feel more compelled to engage the services of our own fellow Singaporeans who are visually-handicapped but yet still trying hard to earn a humble living with their own hands, rather than just sitting on the word "Charity". They are a bunch of very humble professionals who are very compassionate. I highly encourage the engagement of their services for any personals or corporate functions; this will be a great way to do charity and to reward your employees. 

For personals, you can visit them at SAVH MMT Centre (47, Toa Payoh Rise, Singapore 298104)
Tel: (+65) 6251-4331
Fax: (+65) 6253-7191
Mobile Massage Rates
(For Internal Customers @ the SAVH MMT Centre)


$10.00 for a 20-minute session of either foot reflexology or head & shoulder massage.
$15.00 for a 30-minute session of either foot reflexology or head & shoulder massage.
$40.00 for a 60-minutes session of full body massage.



For corporate events, you can arrange with them for the following options.

Mobile Massage Rates
(For External Customers eg. Corporate Functions, Ad-hoc events and House calls)


Option 1:
$12.00 for a 20-minute session of either foot reflexology or head & shoulder massage.
(Subject to a minimum of 5 sessions per masseur. Failure which the booking agency would be required to compensate the balance)

Option 2:
$55.00 an hour per masseur for a 1hour block booking
$45.00 an hour per masseur for a 2hours block booking
$35.00 an hour per masseur for a 3hours or more block booking



Naturally the more hours you book, the more economical it is! Initially, my team and I actually arranged 2 masseurs for 3hours booking (option 2) but the response was overwhelming so we had to book an additional masseur and extend another 1 hour for all 3 of them.

You cant imagine the glee and happiness from these old folks when we told them we thoroughly enjoy their massages and they were just so thankful and kept thanking us for giving them this opportunity. *Heart melts*


Some special things to note will be: 
They will be arriving in cabs, so just kindly send 1 or 2 personnels to guide them to your event venue. Naturally, guide them to the washrooms if they need the toilets and such.

If you will like to have those professional massage chairs(with a hole to rest your head), then do reimburse them for the cab rides and also help to carry those chairs to the event venue. 

Despite they're handicapped in some ways and charging more economically than other enterprises, I hope if you're booking them for more than 2hours, then please give them at least 10-15minutes of rest and also some water to drink for that long hours of work. =)

Please help to spread this entry or message to anyone, who might engage their services. Thanks so much! =)

Movie Reviews: Young Detective Dee ; Prisoners



Movie Title: Young Detective Dee
Ratings: 4.5/5
Comments: Exciting from the front till the end. The only thing which upset me is the main male lead; quite a disappointing choice. He looked more like a charming scholar than an intuitive detective. Still, a must-watch for all the actions etc. 



Movie title: Prisoners
Ratings: 3/5
Comments: 2.5hours long and it felt like 3 hours. Kinda slow and draggy although plot is not too bad. Director did a poor job, emphasizing on unimportant scenes. All cast did a great job on acting. Quite a shame.
