Just celebrated my bro's birthday 2 days ago, at Itacho Sushi. Once again, "Happy 25th!" :D

My choice, a bad one. Overall, Itacho Sushi food standard was really bad. The 40-cents soya sauce salmon sushi (limited to 4pcs per person) was the saving grace of this overpriced meal. Sushi Tei will be a better choice, me thinks.

Hello Kitty Diamond Glosses ($12.90 each) are available at Watsons now! I'll be featuring these 3 flavors in a separate post.

Comes in 7 flavors!

Received a pretty red rose, together with an invitation to Heroine Make event. So innovative right?

$2 each! This is the combined haul of me, Jones, Chantana and my sis...

Lucido-L Hair Make Supplement Treatment Oil (Straight) is one of my favorite hair care products. I use it on towel-dried hair and it makes my hair so soft and smooth! Highly recommended to all ♥

I've used Murad Skin Perfecting Primer (Blemish and Shine Control) for several times. My makeup lasts longer than usual. I'm liking it so far. Will be reviewing this in a separate post (:

My LOTDs...

 

I feel very happy when my blog gets featured :D

Thanks Sasa.com for this beautiful charm bracelet ♥

Cute piglet keychain, a gift from 5 years ago...

My sis bought Hello Kitty chocolates from Taiwan! Surprisingly, they tasted pretty good. I had KFC Double Down before I watched Avengers. It was sinfully tasty!

Btw, Avengers is a must-watch! Hulk is incredibly funny (lol)! I'm loving all the characters, esp. Captain America ♥

Random F&B pics...

The Draw Something craze has died down. I'm still playing my all-time favorite Words with Friends AND Scramble with Friends though.

Say hello to Lee Joon, my latest eye-candy! ♥

So cute... handsome... >.<~~

Apparently, I've run out of ideas on how to name the random entries... hence this will be the debut episode of "Snippets of My Life"... I was planning to name it "The Random Post" initially... that just sounds plain boring, yes? Hmm... ok nvm... I'm so random... hahaha!

I shall start with BellaSugar... Recently, I noticed a slight surge on my blog stats... I clicked on the referral link and was pleasantly surprised to see my LOTD entry being featured as one of the Beauty Must Reads...

Another featured entry is my review on Murad Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture. Thanks BellaSugar!

Simple things like this, makes me happy (:

I won a pair of "The Devil Inside" preview tickets via 8 Days Magazine giveaway (thanks!). I asked Chantana along since she loves watching movies. As for the movie, I wouldn't say it's a must-watch. Not that horrifying after all. Anyway, it ended rather abruptly yet silently. Everyone literally went "huh???"...

After the movie, we felt so hungry and had supper at Xin Wang HK Cafe (Orchard Cineleisure). A very bad choice indeed. The food standard dropped tremendously. The pork chop's texture was soft (not in a good way) -- tasted like fish. My chicken chop tasted weird too. The nice and edible ones were the fries, egg & tomato. Oh well, the yuan yang was good though. *SIGH* Never will I go there eat again... prolly only for drinks? :/

Simple dessert like iced cold cheng tng on an exceptionally hot day, makes my day! My favorite curry chicken noodles at Bedok Central Market...

Salmon sashimi don... And, the yummilicious fried matcha ice-cream! From Megumi...

I mentioned K-Palette's launch of new products earlier on HERE. The day after, I received this pretty box of goodies (thanks to Ariel!). I'll be reviewing these goodies soon! I'm lovin' them so far ♥

Ahh... the long awaited Mavala media kit all the way from Switzerland! It's the latest "Show Time" collection -- think holographic blings... Blogging about it soon - stay tuned!

Finally got my Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil Hard sharpened at the ION Orchard outlet. The pretty BA even attached my name sticker on the pencil cap. Thanks ya :D

Noise Singapore 2012

Under the moonlight - Clement Ng

Alice - recklessxiam [Beautiful right? My favoritest visual work ♥]

My gf bought me this pair of pretty nude wedges, exactly what I wanted! I passed her $1 :D

Me and Valerie at the Maybelline event -- photo credits to her (:

Kim Hyun Joong!!!!!! ♥

Jones posted this on FB (I think)... Dunno who this guy is... but he's like so pretty! Prettier than the girl :x

Most of the time, I'm like this sleepy cat... refusing to open my eyes... laze and sleep all the way :D

Till then. Bye!

The random post(s) are here to stay. Or so I thought. Blogging about non-beauty related stuff... and what's coming next for beauty-related posts (product mentions/reviews/events).

Some time ago, I found this beauty lying on the wet bathroom floor. For a moment, I thought it was dead. And luckily, I did the right thing by picking it up gently by its wings instead of washing it away. It was very much alive!

It didn't fly away, even when I touched it several times. Gave me ample time to get my camera to capture these shots.

"LOVE 爱" movie is one of the "now showing" movies in the cinemas. It's been a long time since I last saw Ethan Ruan on-screen. To be honest, I was quite "disturbed" by his current hair-style... *SAD* Mark Chao certainly looks better in the movie poster.

Anyone watch "LOVE 爱" yet?

These simple-decorated buttercream cakes spell - nostalgia... I used to dislike the taste of the saltish buttercream when I was young. Now, I obviously don't :d~

Pontian Wanton Mee... and my must-order kopi!

More Instagram-ed pics of food... & kopi (lol)

My bro bought the Olympus Tough (shockproof/waterproof) for ~$300. Takes pretty good pics, judging from the ones he took during his KL trip. He also bought an oven toaster (Tefal) :D

Watched "This Means War" with my sis. Thanks F*** Magazine for the premiere tix and mouse pad! We were laughing along with everyone else in the movie theatre throughout the show. Not as action-packed as I thought. Overall, it was a pretty watchable movie. By the way, Chris Pine & Tom Hardy look so much better in the movie as compared to the poster. Hmm... Reese Witherspoon was the opposite though.

My 1st time trying Share Tea... I still prefer Gong Cha! Very addicted to GC Oolong Milk Tea (House Special) ♥

To end off this random post, I received a goodie package (CandyDoll/Kameria/L'egere) from Jaslyn (M.O.S.S (S) Pte Ltd) last week (Thanks!). Will be featuring them in the upcoming posts.

My favorite $2 hauls from Nanairo - eyebrow mascara, black glitter eyeliner, mosaic blush. Best buys ever. These are also sold at Guardian Pharmacy/John Little at least $8, some >$10. What a rip-off!

Oh, another best buy from Watsons. Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream UV 50% off = $10.95 *HAPPY MAX* Chantana bought this too. We've been wanting to try this for the longest time!

Ok, that's all. Have a great weekend! (:

Just a short update of my not-so-happening life (lol)... Well, I ended my 2011 with a pretty good note...

I won this set of "Clarins must-haves" via Mag (makeupstash) giveaway! This was exactly what I wanted to win! *crazily happy*

Eyeshadow palette, lipstick & blush ♥ Oh... and the colors are just what I wished for... hehehe~

Finally had my Ya Kun fix after collecting the Clarins stuff :D

Once a kopi addict, forever a kopi addict! That applies to makeup too (lol).

My craving for Aston's potato salad!

Seriously one of the nicest I've ever tried so far... And it's cheap somemore...

My sis' beef affair, was a pretty good one.

Moral of the story? Try = Buy.

How can anyone resist temptation(s) like this - Dark ferrero!?

Pink Moscato is L♥VE

SUPER-DUPER-NICEEE-MAX!

Love the paperbag xD

Mine. Cherry liquor chocolates & Hello Kitty chopsticks ♥

Skin79 Simple Touch Eyeliner & Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream now available at Watsons!

And, I received this parcel today! :D

Skin79 festive goodies! ♥

Coincidentally, I did a quick swatch this morning at Watsons.

I think I'll like this BB Cream, based on 1st impression...

Brightening is the word.

Another eye-candy alert!

Charming-looking dude! I LIKE!

Hello! A random post of random stuff by the random me :D

"Who has the key to my frozen heart?"

Got this River Island (heart padlock) stud earring from ASOS, featured HERE.

 

Am into bright lips recently.

I'm using Maybelline Moisture Extreme 914 Iced Peach Tea, which I got during their sale (4 for $10 I think).

They've sales like these quite often. Best time to stock up. Heh.

TOP: Maybelline Moisture Extreme 914 Iced Peach Tea

BOTTOM: With Chanel Glossimer 109 Big Bang layered above (looks more "juicy" eh?)

 

Went for Sothys [W.]™+ Brightening Cosmeceutic Treatment (that I'd won in their FB contest), at La Vogue.

Relaxing foot spa before the treatment. *bliss*

The skin peeling didn't cause any skin irritation or whatsoever. My skin had become clearer, brighter & more radiant after the pampering facial treatment.

The therapist was really nice and friendly. No hard-selling involved.

She even gave me discount vouchers ($50 x 2). Let me know if you'll like to have the voucher.

 

Love this uber tasty giant seaweed! *YUMS* :d~

My sis friend got it from Korea!

 

My 1st time @ Piquenique, with Chantana & Jones :D

This cup sure looks familiar... *scroll up*

Jones' scrambled eggs with toast.

Chantana's scrambled eggs with english muffins.

Potatoes, sausages, mushrooms, etc.

I forgot to take a pic of my sausage bun with blue cheese & fries... =.=zzz

The sausage was super normal kind... so disappointed...

The blue cheese taste was super strong... overwhelming in fact!

I like the fries though... But anyway, I don't think I'll go there again...

 

Suki-ya steamboat lunch buffet.

Not much variety. Love the thinly sliced meat (pork, beef, chicken)!

Sukiyaki soup base - sweet, which I don't really like. Kimchi soup base - no kimchi taste!

Cheesy meatball! Super duper niceee! A must-try :d~ *drool*

 

In the past, magazines used to have these fragrance-scented ads... whereby you "lift" the strip up to sniff the fragrance...

Nostalgic much.

Have you bought the latest issue of CLEO? Not a fan of Selena Gomez...

Love the beauty content in the mag though!

 

My sis came back from a long US trip... Will feature her beauty hauls in another post (not much, according to her)...

Quite a fair bit, I would say.

Certainly not mine.

MINE! :D~

 

"Would you bear to eat this?"

 

Ending my random posts with my new eye-candies ♥

Gong Yoo - "Coffee Prince"

He's got a nice bod :p

Almost all Korean stars have nice bods... Tall, at least 1.8m! Small eyes - major ♥! hehehe~

Park Shi Hoo - "Prosecutor Princess"

The K-drama that Chantana had asked me to watch.. b'coz I look like the female lead (Kim So Yeon)... more of the behavior, thinking... definitely not looks... She so skinny and pretty! Well, I finished watching! Nice show, I like (:

I keep aiyo-ing at her actions, behavior and thinking... very naive and such... Her character reminds me of ME!

The ending was good, I like! Heh. Ahh.. I like Park Shi Hoo's charming smile... ♥

Random bits. Enjoy the pics.

It kinda rhymes? :D

A look in pink that I came up with for Joey'space giveaway (I won!). Something I see myself wearing. Don't think I can handle the dog well though :s

Joyce & me.

Attended Estee Lauder's Makeup Workshop (public event). Happy with my loots-of-the-day. That's just about it? Shall not elaborate further.

Another photo taken that day, with Xinyi.

A food tasting event, which I blogged about earlier on.

Camwhore with Xinyi again. A "memorable" day.

My real (fake-looking) lashes. I accidentally deleted the LOTD files :/

 

My eye-candies ♥

Jung Yong Hwa (CNBlue leader). It was thru' "Heartstrings" that I gotta know him. He's sooo cuteee! :3

Jang Geun Suk! Looks oh-so-idiotic + oh-so-cute at the same time! Loveee his annoying expression! xD

Kim Hyun Joong! Another pretty boy. Heh ;p

Jung Il Woo!

His new Korean drama - Flower Boy Ramyun Shop ♥

Can't wait to watch! :D~

Cute-ness overload!

NOTD - bright cheery nails.

A random nail art I drew myself. Nice? :p

 

Upcoming reviews/look tutorial(s)...

Lancôme new product (launching in Dec). Will be blogging about the event soon.

Have been using Biotherm Skin.ergetic for a month. I'm kinda neutral about it for now. We shall see.

Ruco Chan :O

New mascara. Use this twice so far. Quite good, I would say.

STEAM-ed.

New lashes (looks really good!) and clear lash glue.

Smoky LOTD.

Tutorial on this look to be up soon.

That's all for now. Thanks for looking!

This was my 1st time participating in Bio-essence 100-ppl Challenge. And, I registered with the clear intention of meeting Xiao Kai Lao Shi 小凱老師 in person. My wish was granted with a lovely bonus: taking photo with him! V.memorable moment indeed.. *grins*

"V-Face, V-V-V, Look Younger."

I went there bare-faced.. and regretted when I saw Catherine with makeup -.-

And so, I decided to do my makeup on the spot. Nothing new. I'm very used to putting on makeup in the public.

The headband was too small for my head. The BA had a hard time putting on the headband on me while I nearly teared coz it was sooo painful.. :s

Prince Charming decked in white, arrived!

The lucky lady who got some skin-pampering from Xiao Kai 小凱.. *envious*

Hmm.. while we got skin-pampering from the allocated BAs.. >.<~~

Another lucky girl.. How I wished I was up on stage.. :s

He's so near, yet so far.. lololol!

*swoon*

That's Bio-essence Face Lifting Cream Model Cake! It's freaking huge as you can see from the blurry photo above. Couldn't get a good shot since I was seated pretty far behind. That costs a whopping $500! @.@!

Yet another lucky lady! Catherine!

His mesmerizing smile.. Aww..

Man-in-white; from head to toe!

Looking like a wax figurine here; a v.charming one.

Final photo of Xiao Kai Lao Shi 小凱老師.. Hope he'll come S'pore soon! Ahh.. I totally forgot to bring along his makeup book to this event.. *facepalm*

That's us sipping red wine at Tampines Mall Atrium. Epic much.

Bio-essence goodies.

Btw, I'll be doing a giveaway soon. Yay or Nay?

Photo of the day (POTD) ♥

Had the opportunity to have this lovely photo taken with Taiwanese Beauty Guru Xiao Kai Lao Shi 小凱老師 (Many thanks to Catherine!).. ^.^ OMG he's super tall (1.87m!!!!!!) AND super handsome in real life! V.photogenic as well.. Was uber excited to be so close to him! I could literally feel my heart beating sooo fast!

Stay tuned to my blog post about this Bio-essence Shape V Face Challenge! I took nearly 100 photos of him but I'm not posting all (of coz), just the nicer ones hehehe~ :p
