Zhang Muyi(张木易) and Miki's Pretty Boy Chinese Cover



Please please listen to it!!! You wont regret!!!


Actually I dont really care if the news is real or merely a publicity stunt. What I appreciate is their beautiful vocals. Other than Miki's bobbing up and down. Lol. They complemented each other serenely, charmingly in this puppy-love song. It brought back so much warm, fuzzy feelings. =D Although Miki's voice still have a slight child-like quality to it, but it's like as if "Pretty Boy" has been specially tailored for her to sing. The song suits her to a T. I've been looping this song non-stop for days in Mt Alvernia and now that I've discharged and home, I'm still looping. Lol. What a sweet and compatible pair. =) Althoughhh, I dont feel there's any love connection in the making of this mtv.

I cant believe 99% of the comments at yahoo were so negative. Mostly saying about how the guy, Muyi wanna "eat" a "little lamb" and stuff like he'll most probably grab the "sacred fruit" and be jailed behind bars for life sooner or later. Bla bla bla. Seriously, cant this people use a bit of brain before commenting. If he seriously wanna do that, he most assuredly wouldnt draw so much attention to them and made them the public eye; as so many people will be waiting to catch his tail. Moreover, Miki seems to be more famous than him, definitely more people will be siding in her favor, since she's such a cute little teen. Everyone sees Muyi as a wolf. She reminds me of the mini Cecilia Cheung. Thick brows, round eyes, pert nose, small mouth. Bound to be a striking beauty when she grows up. =)

I did check out their weibo out of kpo-ness. Woah, it's really my first time; I see Miki with 500K+ of followers and Muyi with around 300K, but both of them only follow ONE person, they only follow each other! Spooky! No need friends liao meh? Lol.

All in all, the only thing Muyi can get to gain is publicity to his name, his songs. Even so, it's a huge price to pay and it wouldnt actually be all good and worthy. His female fans might get jealous and stop supporting him. It means he must try to be "guai" and faithful for at least the next 4 years doing nothing, no kiss, no touch, no hanky-panky until Miki turns 16..or 18, wherever their country's jurisdiction may be. 4 years. If he can hold on, then good for him. If he cant, at any point, he will be labelled a jerk if he sees someone new, or most probably, a sex-craved loser if he broke off during this 4 years as tons will be more than happy to say, "There, I knew it! He couldnt take it anymore with no s*x and that's why he broke off." And the worse scenario will be, he really cant control himself, break the law and spend 20years behind bars. In no way is this a fair deal to me, as a artiste's reputation is of utmost importance. In fact...his reputation is already kinda soiled, in some people's eyes.

Has Singapore really degenerate to this stage......the(those) guys I mean.......who bitterly believe that all Singapore girls are materialistic and didnt choose them because they dont earn enough? Who thinks that the only reason that a 24year old guy will profess his love for a 12year old is because of underage-teen-s*x? It's really sad. It's like there's not an ounce of...romance....fantasy...innocence left in these people. I dont mean that the pair CONFIRM must be so in love.....and isnt it a little too fast to jump into conclusion and pour cold water? Of course....most of them probably has nothing better to do with their lives and seek satisfaction and fulfillment in passing crude and negative remarks.

To ask me whether I think they can make it, seriously, I'm at a neutral stand. It's not about the age gap of 12 years. I genuinely thinks love has no boundary, age has no limits. Why, I also have a colleague couple who are 11 years apart. But you see, a 24 year old with a 36 year old, it's not so bad. A 36 year old with a 48 year old sounds okie too. But a 24 year old with a 12 year old does sound kinky. A 24 year old might know what is love. But Miki at 12......will Miki have a change of her heart and realized her love for Muyi is merely a brotherly love? Her mindset on lots of things will change when she reaches 16 or 18 or 21. She's simply too young, I will feel Miki will have a higher tendency to let Muyi down, when she grows older. Of course, nothing can be sure.

I wish them all the best and hope people can just be more lenient and encouraging towards them. Ultimately, if a relationship can start and maintain with 4-6 years of no s*x, I feel the love is so pure and so precious. I've lost count of the number of times that I worry about whether guys have ulterior motives. =P OooOok la....I'm not very wat-wat-wat, but at least, still a female mah... Wahahaha.

Their unique, spiritually-based relationship is something which should be honored and looked upon, not to be jeered at. =D

Carrie Underwood may have given a 12-year-old boy his first kiss, but another adult musician may be taking his relationship with a preteen too far.
Canadian singer-model Akama Miki may be only 12 years old, but Chinese pop star Zhang Muyi, who is twice her age at 24, claims they are in love and that it is not a publicity stunt.
According to MSN, the duo has recently been exchanging love letters and posting photos of themselves together (see Miki pinch Muyi's cheek! See them touch fingers!). Miki is a rising star with reportedly 500,000 Weibo followers, but she follows only one person -- and guess who that is?
"Wait until I'm old enough to marry you, and then I'm going to say 'I do,'" Miki recently wrote to Muyi on Weibo.
Muyi responded with the message, "I simply can't wait for these next four birthdays of yours to pass, I'm counting down each one." If that weren't creepy enough, Muyi admitted he will be watching the prepubescent Canuck mature     with bated breath.
"I said to Miki, 'I'm going to be with you as you grow, I'll always wait for you,'" Muyi wrote.
While he waits, Muyi is spending his time collaborating with the younger musician on various songs. A video of their duet, "Pretty Boy," was posted on Sept. 9, and they plan to release another song, "Courageous Love," soon, no doubt as a testament to their relationship. --extracted from Yahoo, Singapore

Thanks to dearie for preparing the house so clean for my discharge. Smuacks!!

Back at Mt Alvernia

Am blogging with my iPad now. Actually didn't intend to blog about it as I thought 2days will be the max stay. But I should be staying for tonight also despite my reluctance. I actually admitted the day before on wed night due to more than 3 weeks of persistent coughing. One can live with persistent coughing....until it gives shortness of breath coupled with vomiting. Arrggghhh......have you ever coughed non-stop until it triggered a puke? It was horrible. The cough comes and go though so one moment I can be perfectly fine and the next second coughing my lungs out. I can't sleep as it's most severe and frequent at night. Air-conditioning makes it worse so I had to sleep on the sofa in the living room. :( Also don't wish to spread to dearie as he also started coughing a little.

For the first 2 nights, the coughing was still as bad. It kinda got worse as daytime became as bad as night. I started complaining to my doc. After blood tests, x rays all that.....she finally concluded that my lungs are swollen(???) and it's acute bronchitis. I need to give it some time. She gave me inhalers too which worked by cupping a oxygen-mask like thing on me with pipes all over. Dearie said I looked like that alien who fights with Will Smith in M.I.B. Zzz..... I'm not bored as I'm so well equipped. Lol. At one point, I got both my iPhone earpiece for music(only right ear, under the big headphone) AND headphones(for tv H.B.O) on, as well as iPad and Nu Ren Wo Zui Da magazine on my lap WHILE what'sapping on my iPhone with my friends. The nurses must think me deeply, deeply disturbed. Lol. I watched "Friends with benefit" last night. Pretty funny and sweet. But hope girls don't get misleaded thinking it will always lead to this kinda sweet ending. It's a movie. :)

After antibiotics, I'm much better now but still crossing my fingers for the night. First time I'm so afraid of night time.....like how ghosts are afraid of broad daylight. Hahaha! I didn't really tell many friends or update Facebook, because towards friends who care, I dont wish to make them worry. But I guessed this world got no secrets huh.... Thanks for all your concern...hampers etc. Especially appreciate those who wanted to come down....but I don't wish to see anyone in my current state... :P Actually I wanted to discharge tonight one.....but dearie asked me to stay 1 more night to make sure I'm totally alright. He's afraid my cough came back but the main reason is he haven do housework yet due to his work. As dust makes me cough too, he also wanted the house to be very clean when I'm home. Which might be as well as he don't have time to take care of me and meals are provided in the hospital.

My doc also made me sign a form to accept her doctor's fees charges; 1st night $350, subsequent nights $200 per day. That per day means the 5 MINUTES she comes to see me every morning. Woah! Zhen Hao Zhuan! No wonder she kept on encourage me to stay. :P Estimated total costs for my 2bedded is S$1500 per day with no surgery. 

Sigh.....am so sorry to miss Angi's hen's night tonite. Will try my best to pyscho her for another one next week. Lol!

That concludes my boring entry. Hope everyone stays healthy always.....

F1 finals Sunday and Katy Perry Concert


It's my first time watching F1. =D Thanks to Cel for the tickets!!! Not only that, she actually queued for 2 hours plus in the afternoon with SWEAT for our Katy Perry's tickets!! Awwwwww!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!! I have so many sweet friends. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! =D

We sat down for awhile at around 7+pm and watched for quite a few laps. I'm one with sharp ears and nose, so despite my ear plugs, it's still pretty loud for me. Hmmm...........lol....I really dont have anything witty to add because I'm a bimbo all I saw were cars zooming past and I didnt even know which is which and who is who because they were simply too fast. =P After some time, it became kinda boring. So we got out of the seating area and went to grab some bite and drinks. We all had some chips, nachos and fishballs etc; there were alot of German/Mexican food though. They had beer but I just had mineral water. Hmm.........there were really many angmos around.

It was so hot that we're sweating like nobody's business. =( Sebastian Vettel won the race......like seriously who cares.... =P Oh but he's pretty cute though. Hee. =P Finally, at 10.45pm, Katy Perry arrived and awed us with her voice. She's amazing!! The moment she started singing, I really had goosebumps all over!! Her live is much much better than her youtube videos. Her vocals are strong, powerful and the way she moved on the stage simply had my eyes glued to her!! She is very pretty too, funny and straight-forward with a sense of humor. After the first few songs, she started saying, "Do you guys always live in such heat??" All of us echoed, "Yessss!!" She then said, "Oh I feel for you!" Lol. For 2hours and more, she just sang and dance non-stop and only 1 or 2 slightly slower songs. And you guys know that her songs are not easy to sing at all. She plays the guitar too! You have to stand for the concert though. I really really enjoy her concert very much; I simply love ALL her songs. There wasnt a moment of boredom. If she's going to perform in Singapore, I'm definitely going!! 

She makes all my sweat so worth it, despite it's like only a 2hours+ concert. If next time I'm going to F1, I will make sure that the concert performance is worth it because I really cant take the heat and sweat. Anyway, we're saying maybe we can book a hotel room next time because every year F1 finals falls on Jov's birthday(actual day). =) Pictures are taken by Cel's Samsung's Note, transferred by what'sapp and uploaded via my iPhone using iPhone Blogger app. Clear huh~ =) I'm becoming lazier. Much prefer to blog via iPhone nowadays because uploading of pictures is a breeze. It's so troublesome to transfer pictures from camera etc. Not to mention friends will always bug me to pass them pictures. Not I dont want to sendddd, I'm just lazyyyy. SO, I've stopped taking pictures from my camera altogether(HAHAHA!!) and lazily relying on my dear friends' Samsung's handphones. Quite a handful, no need to worry! The only bad point is sometimes the pictures you like might get deleted or not being transferred to you. =P iPhones suck in taking night pictures....sigh.....



I hate being in the front...........make my face so.....damn.....bloody......bigger than it already is.......
Sigh.....but nobody wants to be infront so I have to sacrifice. =(
Oops, I'm just borrowing the cup for taking picture purpose.....I didnt drink okie. 



Pizza face. =~(
Dear Cel, thanks for queuing so long for us!!
If I wasnt busy studying for my exam, I will certainly accompany you!










At Katy Perry's concert!!! With Amanda and jov too.
Makeup already melt like dont know what....
Cant even touch up because we are just so FOS-> Full of SWEAT!

Happy birthday Jov!!! It's her actual day!!!



Super blur pic...already did my best to brighten/sharpen it....
because it's our only group picture.

Had a real fun day out!!! Thanks to Cel for the tickets!!! 
Thanks to Amanda for the lift back too!!!
Smuacks!!! Love love love!!

Amanda's belated birthday with Jov's advance birthday celebration at Boiler!!

Blogging via my iPhone now, no need transfer pics so troublesome. Just a quick entry as I'm still not feeling well.

It was a very fun night!!! However, it was disappointing that the birthday girls didn't toh.... :P Actually there was one part which I totally don't remember....zzz....because most of us started pretty early at around 8plus....and was running about. Birthday girls reached pretty late. That was the time which I don't remember much....haha...I was with another group of friends but I later re-joined the group again.

I did remember 1 thing though. I sarcastically told off a guy who was generously pouring our Hennessy(neat, easily half a glass) and forcing Jov to drink. I understand that it's norm to make the birthday girls drink but firstly, it's too much and strong(half a glass neat) and isn't it damn cheapo if a guy use the drinks which HER friends bought for her to make her drink?? I've never seen guys like that in my life, never. We don't even know him. And I said out loud to him, and added, "If you're a man then buy your own drinks to treat our birthday girl okie~" Then he looked lagi paiseh and promptly put down the glass. *Rollz eyes*

Ivan also got pretty riled up when he saw one guy used OUR drinks to treat other girls at the next table to drink. And when Ivan asked one of the 2 CMI guys(forgot which 1) to buy drinks, he said he got to drive, cannot drink. Kannasai, then still drink our drinks? Ask you buy(also not ask you drink) then cannot. Like WTF.

Some guys these days really cannot make it. Instead of treating the birthday girls to drink, they come people's birthday party to 骗酒喝。We opened a total of 4 bottles plus a few graveyard(for the birthday girls) and I think we didnt even drink alot. We're okie with girls drinking our drinks but really not guys. Though even so, I've never seen girls so BHB too. You(guys, whom we dont know) can drink of course but the least you can do is contribute back. No need to treat us, but just treat the birthday girls will do. But the birthday girls were just being too nice. I also heard 2 of my girls complaining that some guys(2nd degree friends) tried to take advantage of them. It really got me super angry!! Girls, do choose your guy friends carefully!!

Seriously, I really despise stingy and "humsup" guys and guys who are not a gentleman. You don't have to be generous, but don't be a BHB cheapo and "gian peng" loh. And dont think just because you buy some drinks and you have the right to take advantage. Thank god my guy friends are not like that. I will seriously slap them loh.

Anyway, on the whole we all had fun. Happy birthday girlies and see you all soon!



With the pretty girlies....Amanda, Peishi on left and Jov on right
Actually hor........I dont remember taking this picture with the girls....... Zzzz.....
I looked sober hor....but actually I already dont remember alot of things already. Wahahahaha! But thank god, at least I got 1 picture with my darling birthday girls.....even though it's blur and grainy...... dont know who took this picture one. @#$%^%$#@ On flash mah!!!! 


Let me(them) show you what is 6 连拍!!! Pro one okie!!! =)
Joy, Cel and Tracy.




Ivan's super di-ji speckie: is totally cannot see one lor. Blah!
Hmm.....ya I think the guy in white is the cheapo guy who used our drinks to force Jov to drink.
Dont really remember his face but I remember the cheapo guy wore white.

Girls, remember this face. This guy, CANNOT MAKE IT.










That's all.......... Blog about F1 soon.

Dearie bought my fave custard buns!!! =D
Am super frustrated, auntie came yesterday. Cramps and backache. =( Grrrrrr~~~~

*cough cough*


Hello Kitty Lychee martini mooncakes with love!!!


Lin made them for me!!! How sweet is that??? I love Hello Kitty and Lychee martini is my favorite! It's super yummy with the chocolate liquor truffle in the center. :D Not too sweet fillings too! Seriously, Lin can consider selling them!! Because they not only taste good, they looked super kawaii as well! And you know what, KS and Lin delivered them to our doorstep!!! So touched max!!! 💓💓💓

Dearie and I actually fought over the last piece. Haha so funny. :P

By the way, I passed my exam. :D

Can die, cannot sick

Just saw the doc.
Antibiotics and cough syrup for cough, medi and lozenges for throat.

Guess guess how much??






















$132

Kaoz, more expensive than I go A&E after midnight.

He said I might have lung infection and the antibiotics for the lungs are expensive.

Cough cough cough


Have been coughing really badly these days...... Actually it's bearable in the day time but when night time comes, I will start to develop this TB-like cough which was....totally scary to the max. =~( Sigh.......tomorrow got an exam and I'm really super unprepared. Weekend was tied up with dear Jov's birthday and F1. To make it worse, the cough medicine just makes me super sleepy, it's like impossible to study. I just have to pray and hope I'll pass tomorrow. =(

BTW, Katy Perry is AWESOME!!! All those sweat was worth it, just for that 2+ hours of her singing!!

Updates soon after tues~

NOTD - Nails of the day


2 coats of China Glaze nail colour with Bourjois top coat. Love this colour Tinsel Town 1022, very glam, suitable for partying. Great choice if you want dark and glittery nails but yet find pure black too satanic. Covers imperfect nails very well. Instantly make your hands fairer. Only downside will be it will a chore to remove.

Singapore’s ‘Go Plastic’ trend



Singapore’s ‘Go Plastic’ trend (Part 1): Youths fixated with fillers

Wednesday, September 19, 2012

Étude house Precious Mineral BB Sun Pact SPF 50+, PA+++ Pressed Powder AND SAKAE SUSHI with their FTs SUCK~



I'm currently in love with yet another pressed powder from Étude house; the Precious Mineral BB Sun Pact SPF 50+, PA+++. We all know how important is sunscreen in sunny Singapore. Even on days where I'm just grabbing a lunch or quick dinner with dearie in nearby neighborhood areas(places where we still need to travel), I will still wear sunscreen. But because usually after applying sunscreen, your face will be moist and somewhat sticky, it's still essential to pat on some powder so that dirt/impurities wont stick to your face while you're outdoors. 

Étude house Precious Mineral BB Sun Pact SPF 50+, PA+++ is great on days where you need protection from the sun but yet dont need much coverage. High SPF of 50+ with PA+++ is very rare in pressed powders. The only other pressed powder with high SPF 50+ with PA+++ which I know of is from Laneige, their brightening sun powder. It costs around S$60 and it broke me out BIG TIME. I'm still wondering what to do with it. 



Étude house Precious Mineral BB Sun Pact only provides sheer coverage(or no coverage) when it's used alone. What is great about it is that despite it doesnt provide much coverage, it does brighten up your face to a certain extent whilst still looking very natural; as if you're not wearing anything. Despite wearing only sunblock, with no serums/emulsion/moisturizer/bb cream beforehand, I'm still able to glide it smoothly over my face without having dry patches or flaky bits. Having oily to combination skin like me, I usually use an oil control toner and oil free sunscreen prior to using this powder too. And it's able to lasts 4-5 hours for me without any need to blot in air-conditioned environments. When I reached home, I still look pretty natural; it doesnt look like it has oxidized or has an oily sheen. Thumbs up!

You can always apply a light bb cream before it if you wish to have more coverage. Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer in nude is also a great choice. Foundation is not recommended as it might appear to be heavy. Sunscreen needs to be re-applied if you're constantly under the sun for long hours. Since you cant possible reapply your sunscreen or bb cream/foundation with spf WHILE having powder on it, you can always touch up with this pressed powder with SPF 50+, PA+++. =) It only comes in 1 colour and it's not recommended for dark or olive-skinned people; I think it will look kinda odd as it's pretty light in colour despite it being sheer. I dont really remember it's price because I bought a dozen things from Étude house in order to reach a certain tier for the kawaii rabbit usb-port fan. Wahahaha. =P But it couldnt be more expensive than Laneige's brightening sun powder. Maybe it's around half price, like around S$30? As it's made from precious minerals, it means it's less prone to sensitivity too and good for the skin. In terms of lasting power, overall effect, it still wins Laneige's hands down. 




If you're wondering why the need to protect yourself from sun so much, the main reasons will be, not only will it makes you tanned, produces spots/freckles, it also makes your skin age more quickly. 

********************************************************************************

Just now we were at Lot 1 having a late lunch at Sakae Sushi. I'm actually not really enthu to have Japanease food there but there's no nice Jap restaurants in the neighborhood. 

Therefore, despite the last bad experience at Icon, (excerpt below from Birthday at Klapsons Hotel.)

There wasnt much stuff to eat and we had Sakae Sushi at Icon. I was quite annoyed actually. Because I ordered a set of sushi which should come in 8 identical pieces and horrendously I noticed few pieces of the 8 were easily HALF the standard size of a sushi. Have you ever seen sushi which is like 1CM wide?? 真是气死我了!! If it wasnt my birthday eve and if I wasnt that hungry, I really would have.....arrggghhh! I cant imagine how they have the cheek to serve it right up to me. I really despise corporations like these. I rather they priced the sushi set higher, say 8 pieces at...(I forgot the price...maybe $15 etc)...at maybe $18? Or 4 pieces at $10 or simply 2 pieces at $5, you know, to make it exclusive or something. But certainly not this way to cheat your customers. That's so unethical. 

 I thought we'll just quickly settle a lunch there at Sakae Sushi Lot 1

And there was this PRC waitress asking us whether we wish to opt for buffet as I'm actually planning to go ala-carte as dearie wants the Sakae teppanyaki. So naturally I did asked what are included and what are not, in the buffet, price and etc. After the PRC female waitress said it's around S$20 nett, I told dearie it's pretty worth it for the spread available. Therefore we both took buffet. Seriously, Sakae's standard has been from okie to worse. Initially it was decent, then it became mediocre, now it's like totally horrible for some of the dishes. While the Chawanmushi  and salmon were still pretty decent(for the buffet price), the breaded prawns, tempura prawns, soft shell crab were horrible. They totally fell apart, tasted mushy and got this flour-like taste which was totally unacceptable. However, I do feel the service was prompt. 

When it comes to the settling of the bill, we realized we were being billed S$19+++ which comes up to S$47something nett instead of the S$20nett per pax as per told. So I told the manager, which is another FT from Philippines, that the PRC waitress specifically told us it's S$20nett per pax. 

He gave us an impatient look before calling the waitress, named Li Li to us. And he asked her how did she tell us about the price. She said, "Yeah. I told them it's S$20 nett total." I then said, "See, she said it's S$20 NETT." Then Li Li said eagerly, "Ya ya I actually mean it's S$20 nett total, not grand total."

I was like WTF? She did not mention about the "not grand total" part at all. And everybody knows NETT is grand total lor. 

The manager then apologised, saying it's a matter of miscomm and naturally all prices in restaurants, especially Sakae Sushi comes with +++ and I SHOULD KNOW THAT. Immediately I got pissed off. 

Of course I know all restaurants comes with +++ but how would I know if it's maybe S$15+++ and it comes to S$20nett. I will only assume that she gave me the NETT price especially she's the one who told me it's "NETT". I have never tried Sakae Sushi lunch buffet before, how would I know about the pricing? I even clarified again with her prior to confirming the buffet that it's really S$20nett and she said yes. Both of them started to apologise again and I said, "It's okay." But they just stood there doing nothing after dearie's card had been swiped for the wrong amount. The Filipino manager expected us to just accept the mistake and go. 

I was like, hellllloooo, please be responsible for the mistake which you obviously made. Why should we be responsible for the obvious mistake that she made? If she had not told us the wrong info, we would have go ahead and go for ala-carte as well as the teppanyaki. So I insisted that he pay back the difference. Then the FT manager started saying Oh there's nothing he can do because all the charges comes with +++ and he cant do anything about it or he has to answer to whatever marketing department whatsoever.

As if it's my business. How you answer to your company for the mistake that your staff made is non of my business. The fact is, she did made a mistake and that mistake did affect us in some way because we wouldnt have chose the buffet if it's +++; we would have go for ala-carte and Teppanyki. And it's not as if we're particularly pleased with the buffet food, if they are, I would have gladly pay, but they're not. We had regretted opting for the buffet and now you're still telling us we need to pay more than what we're prepared to pay.

If a dispute is in a way where nobody know who is right and who is wrong, like for example, I said she said this, but she said no she didnt say that etc, then fine, perhaps there will be no end and nobody will have a right to demand anything. Either you give in the customer or the customer give in to you. BUT she had ALREADY openly ADMITTED she said what I heard(unknowingly admitting something which she didnt know she had done wrong), then really, why should we still pay for her mistake?? No sense at all. And the manager seemed to be at a loss as to how to handle. 

Then there's this group of young punks who were previously so damn noisy behind us, they came to settle the bill too and the moment they reached the counter, one of them raised his voice at me whilst looking at me, "Can we settle the bill PLEASE?!" I was like, "Hey, you want to shout then you shout at him(the manager to settle your bill), not me okie? Are you being crazy or something?" Then I ignored him. The manager then gave me S$5 note in cash and wished to settle the problem. 

So clever~ Why didnt he do it much earlier? Moron~ S$7 should be the correct amount but nevermind, treat that we're suay.

Sakae Sushi, 
you want/need to employ FT dishwashers, FT waiters/waitresses, I dont blame you. But for supervisors or managers, can you employ people with slightly more brains or not?? Sometimes, the ability to speak English is not sufficient. They need to have a certain degree of EQ, able to think and speak with reason as well. 

Sigh........................I really wish these FTs get out of my country. 



Professor Brawn Cafe @ Boat Quay


Professor Brawn Cafe is a very unique and special restaurant which a friend, as well as a client, brought me to many months back; it's his's client's cafe. (Please scroll down if you wanna skip to the review of the cafe) This is to clarify because my possessive honey dont allow me to meet any male(s) alone UNLESS he's my client and it's for work purpose. Sometimes even mahjiong with 3 males will get him pretty uncomfortable. It's quite tiring sometimes. Everytime I wish to meet a guy friend or a guy friend wish to meet me for dinner or chill(not movies or anything like that), I need to pull a girlfriend along or more people along. I dont mind of course, just that it's SUPER troublesome if we dont have any mutual friends. It's not as if my friends are always readily available for me to jio.

And everytime my male friend(s) feel so weird because everytime each of them meet me, it became a group gathering instead. (=.=)''''' And sometimes, it became taxing on them because instead of having a private, casual and easy conversation, it became a socializing gathering instead. Sometimes, they DO mind. And while they dont mind the 1st or 2nd time, they gradually find it tiring because ultimately they dont know my friends well....and well, sometimes they just wish to talk about their personal issues la and it's not convenient. On the other hand though, my friends love to make new friends so they totally dont mind at all. I do have headaches whenever I'm stucked in between, like if I said I was having dinner with this male friend/client(whom my friends also know) just 2 hours ago, they will like, "Why bo jio??? We all can eat/chill together what." Sigh......  

I wont say I didnt break this rule before, but I do inform dearie nicely whenever I need to meet a guy friend alone. Well it's like, I have nothing to hide!! I'm just meeting a guy friend over dinner and we have things to chat, that's all! I'm growing excessively tired of messaging a whole group of people whether they're available to join so that I wont be alone with a male friend. It creates alot of unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings sometimes. And suddenly I feel absurd agreeing to this condition. Recently, he was just "reminding" me of the promises I made, and I said, "Yes I do remember". But maybe it's time that I need to negotiate with him or something........hmm..........maybe that can be like twice a month or something? Lol. Surely meeting a guy friend only twice a month couldnt possibly lead to anything else bahhhhh. 

Maybe some of you may think, aiya, dont tell him can already lor!! Or, lie to him can already lor!! Saves all the trouble, might even have lesser quarrels. But I really dont like to lie. Not that I've never lie before in my life but I really hate to lie. I prefer being honest and open in a relationship and I hope he can do the same with me. I always tell him, if he ever stop loving me one day, please please please tell me and I will let him go. Just dont let me be the last to know and continuously do redundant things which wastes my love, time and effort. You know, I can jolly well part them with someone else. Lol. Just kidding just kidding my dear. 在你不爱我之前,我是不会不爱你的。=) Too complex to understand? Oh it merely means, I will never stop loving you unless you stop loving me first. =) But if you ever stop loving me, I will never love you one day more. =) 

Anyway, I always need to ask him for permission if I'm going out, and stating who I'm meeting, and where I'm going. Although 99.99% of the time, he'll let me go. I always answer his calls/msgs although they might not be prompt. He hardly restricts my freedom but feels the need that I'll just ask him first, as a respect. He usually let me join my friends even though he might be free that weekend etc. 

Few close friends know I have this restriction. Most of our mutual friends(mostly our colleagues) always have this wrong impression that I'm the dominant one in the relationship. It's actually kinda irritating. You know, it's like they dont know us well and anyhow form impressions and conclusions. But I think I also cant blame them because most of the time, it does look that way. They think it must be me who set the rules on him, instead of him on me. Even when they shockingly accepted the fact that he set those restrictions on me, they're convinced that he did that because I do the SAME to him. ZzzZzzz. That's not true! I totally never restrict him at all lor. He can meet any of his female lfriends as he like or meet his guy friends as frequent as he wants. But he just dont do that, and he said "We must be fair mah. =) " 

(=.=)''''''''''''''''''

Actually I'm realllllllyyy curious. 
Does your partners disallow you from meeting guy friend(s) alone? 
Am I the only one and is this only normal? Hmmmm...............


Okok Back to entry at hand.

Usually I snap alot of food pictures with my iphone but only blog them on my mobile/ipad/lappy when I'm free. 

What's so special about Professor Brawn Cafe is that: Please view the picture below.



Yes, so they actually give opportunities to people with special needs and employ them as waiters/waitresses. Therefore, I do urge you to show them some support and be a little more patient when you're ordering. For example, speak slower, speak clearly and if you can manage, do look at them(with a smile of course) when you're ordering as some of them need to read your lips. Dont worry if they cant get it right because usually another waitress/waiter will be accompanying them to take your order. So no fret ya!

Despite it being named a cafe, I feel the food's quality, presentation, service, environment wise etc, is all of restaurant quality. Definitely recommended. 


Sausage with Rosti
&
Fish & Chips

The prices are pretty affordable and delightful when the portions are big. While I wont say it's the best sausage, rosti and fish & chips in town, it's definitely decent, well-presented and worth a try! Despite being located in Boat Quay, the place is serenely quiet and peaceful. With lush velvet sofas and posh mirrored walls decorated with works by these special people, the place gives a very opulent but yet cosy and comfortable feel. Great for private conversations. Good service. Their black miso cod fish is pretty recommended too. However, I do think the ice-cream are far too sweet for my liking. 




They do need your support. Thanks for reading!

Insensitive or SBC?

So irritated and frustrated today. My sorethroat actually recovered 98% yesterday. But dearie bought 1 very spicy supper for me DESPITE knowing I've just recovered. I was starving and since I don't like to waste food, I finished it and now my sorethroat is back with renewed force.

Why can't he ever learn to be more sensitive and caring towards me

Very difficult meh, this is like common sense. You don't buy spicy or fried food for someone who just recovered from sorethroat.

Again, it's dumb of me to eat it! So I'm also very angry with myself! Arrrgghh!

Formula 10.0.6 So totally Clean Everyday Cleanser





As I was saying, previously my skin has been so sensitive and prone to breakouts ever since I'm back from U.S. Especially when DHC deep cleansing oil and Biore Jelly Serum make-up remover haven been doing a good job(despite double cleansing), I began to develop some tiny bumps on my face. They're real tiny but they're there when you run your fingers on your face. Although they're not really visible, they dont leave a scar or develops inflammation, they're still very irritating! I began to seek out a solution, i.e, triple cleansing. ZzZzz. After using makeup remover and facial cleanser, I will use cotton wool to apply Formula 10.0.6 So Totally Clean Everyday Cleanser(Sensitive formula) to my face, as a triple cleansing(no need to rinse off). It's an alcohol-free gentle cleanser as well as a toner. Gentle enough to use on an everyday basis. It contains ingredients like cucumber, sea kelp and chamomile, therefore is very cooling and soothing. Smells great too. What is satisfying about it is that after using, all those tiny, irritating little bumps are gone and never come back. 

If you have this problem like me, probably make-up removing isnt through enough. Either you change to a super powerful makeup remover, or simply buy this to add an extra step to your makeup removing regime if you dont like wastage or lazy to seek out a new makeup remover. That being said, I've found my favorite Biore Hydra clear makeup remover; I use them when I have heavy makeup with falsies. But I still use Biore Jelly Serum make-up remover on days when I have minimal makeup. Nevertheless, I will always follow up with my triple cleansing routine.

   Formula 10.0.6 So Totally Clean Everyday Cleanser(Sensitive formula) is very affordable, like less than S$15? In fact, after using this, I hardly get breakouts anymore. Even if I have, they heal on their own rather quickly. So I believe in this unimpressive bottle, other than removing makeup residues, there are healing and detoxifying properties as well. However, I do not recommend that you ONLY use this for makeup removing, it's probably not thorough enough. Recommended for sensitive, oily and combination skin. It also received pretty positive reviews of more than 4 out of 5 at ulta.com and makeupalley.com

What could be improved is probably the packaging. Will appreciate it if it comes with a pump.
Available in Watsons.




Yayoiken Japanese Restaurant at illuma

Met up with 2 sweeties at illuma and Gra suggested this place for our dinner! I ordered S-22, which is a combo of hamburger steak, steak, chicken with bacon set. Although I wasn't asked for my preference for my steak's doneness, the steak was very tender. I'm very pleased with everything in the set. Initially I thought there will only be a small portion for each(pork/chicken/steak), surprisingly it's not! Quite substantial portion. Girls will love this because there's alittle of everything. :D

What's great about it was that all 3 of them tasted differently; all had different sauces and all were nice. They leaned towards strong taste(重口味). The combo also comes with 2 vege, bean sprouts and long beans. There were also fried potatoe cubes which went great with the mayo. The bacon is normal, full of fats. Pretty sinful. Though you'll feel kinda thirsty after you finished the set because it leans towards saltish that side. I really have nothing to fault for this set and it's only S$20!

Delighted with my set, Suan ordered the same. Did not try Gra's set, therefore won't comment. But she topped up S$2 to upgrade to clam soup. The fried squid came in very small portion as it's only like S$3plus. Just a littleeee tough for my liking. Will definitely patronize again! Thumbs up!!
Level 1 just beside the ice-cream parlor.

FRANK card by OCBC




Obviously, this is not my actual card. But I have this design! =P

Loving this card now(note: love the card, dont love the bank) because it's like 3 in one!
I usually carry a small wallet instead of my long wallet, and FRANK card is easily my credit card, my ATM nets card as well as my EZ-link. Greattttt~ No need to activate the EZ-link, just scan it will do. Can use it for bus/trains/comfort or city cabs/ERP. They have the Nets FlashPay facility and ATU(auto-top-up) facility so per top up is $50, debited from your savings/current account once you finished the credit. I remembered this service is currently free, not sure if there's any fees in future for every top up. 

Oh yes, it's here. See I so nice check for you all. =) Ok lah, not killer fees. Cheap cheap =)
I'm sooOooo terrified of the various credit card charges or fees. 

NETS FLASHPAY REGISTRATION FEE• Administration fee to register for NETS FlashPay Auto Top-Up facilityS$1.50 (waived till 31 Dec 2012)
NETS FLASHPAY TOP UP FEE• Administration fee for each NETS FlashPay automatic top-up
• Each top-up value: S$50
S$0.15 per automatic top-up (waived till 31 Dec 2012)
The ATU facility will be triggered when the remaining stored value in your NETS FlashPay purse is insufficient to pay for your next NETS FlashPay transaction. 
(no more queuing to top up in a rush when Ez-link's card has insufficient cash! $0.15 per top-up, I'll gladly pay!)

More details on FRANK's various charges/FAQ here
More details on current OCBC's privileges here
More details on Nets Flashpay here

You need to manually link the card to your savings/current account(need full a/c number) via ATM with the pin number(of the FRANK card) being mailed to you. Easy peasy. Bills can be paid via internet banking. It's default is electronic bills but you can opt for mails. You can view all the transactions via online banking although I still opted for mails because they serves as a reminder for me. What you owe will be just reflected exactly in your internet banking and you can just input the same amount to pay. Though there's not much special rebates or stuff like that I think. My bill was around $750+ and I saw this $2.50 rebate. Hmm dont know what is that~ Some ocbc cash rebates stuff. Of course, it's still an OCBC card so you'll get to enjoy discounts for OCBC cards. 

I have this design now, so pretty right? Okay I sound so bimbo. Signed up with a friend and got the design for free, promo period I think. Yay! =P
