It's a happy day again :)

It's coming to month end and work is SLIGHTLY less stressful towards the end of the month, haha..
Moreover, i'll have another OFF day tomorrow and i'm so looking forward to it!
Although we have nothing concrete planned for tomorrow, it's good to just stick around with ur loved ones.

I've found this facial mask that is quite effective :)
Usually, i'll buy different masks to try out.. like MyBeautyDiary etc...

I found these korean masks at Guardian selling quite cheaply, so i bought the rice wine to try out. Rice wine is SKII mah, no? haha or closest to it, at a fraction (or 1/100) of its price.

And i was surprised at how it made my skin radiant after that :) Cos usually most of the facial masks i've tried do not seem to have any visible effect. At least for this, i noticed.
So i went back and stocked up on all the rest, haha

Nice :)
i bought some for the bf to try too. but i doubt he has even opened one yet.

The mask is unique cos it's 3D. Fits perfectly onto the contour of your face, hehe.. don't have to worry about excess cloth or parts of the mask not adhering to the skin.

I've just googled and found this info. (No choice, everything on the packaging is written in Korean. I don't know what i'm buying.)

The SOC Rice Wine Mask lightens scars, and has anti-fungal and antiseptic properties great for those with acne issues or just looking to even out their skin tone and brighten the skin.

 The SOC EGF Mask helps to promote rapid cell renewal and assist in wound healing. Use it after an exfoliating treatment and see how your skin is stimulated to produce more collagen. This in turn gives the skin a soft and flexible feel.

 The SOC Placenta Mask contains hyaluronic acid to moisturise the skin and helps to minimize scars and wrinkles. It also helps to rejuvenate skin, fight wrinkles and makes the skin more youthful.

I think i need everything! My skin is in such bad shape, haha..

The SOC masks still come in SNAIL and SNAKE EXTRACT.
i know snail is darn popular now, but really, these 2 are too exotic for me to try, i don't think i can tahan the thought of applying such stuff on my face.


YAY im gonna have a good night's rest :)
btw, i changed my bedsheet for the new year. Hehe
 photo 28-3_zpsac73d224.jpg
yes, it's very girly.
But jayden reminds me that i won't have that much 'time' being this girly already. So i should buy it if i really liked it.
(cos if move to Dawson, i dont think he will ever want to sleep on a Hello kitty bedsheet.)

No, the house isn't ready yet. Maybe a couple more years to go.
Good night!

Its a happy day!
No Monday blues, teehehe :D

Morning i woke up, as usual, with a more painful stiff neck. Super painful! :(
i thought i couldn't get off the bed. i think i know how it feels like to be paralysed. sigh..
My grandma gave me her koh yoke which was better than what my mom gave me yesterday. Cos now, it somehow doesn't feel that painful already. Or maybe it's the painkiller effect :(

Anyway, it cannot deter me from feeling happy cos today is my OFF DAY! *dances around*
In my post last week, i was saying i wanted to bring bf to the Japanese restaurant where cousin Bailin celebrated his 21st.. and we did today! YAY!!

and i 心血来潮 want to treat the boyfriend to a nice meal at a nice place :D
plus weekday lunch is cheaper, hehe

The buffet was from 12pm-3pm, but cos i woke up quite late around 10+, so we only reached the restaurant  at 2pm :(
Left one hour to eat only, the cashier told me that they will 'keep' the food around 2.45pm :(
But we were there already and i'm very excited, so we still went ahead.

I didn't know they don't serve Sashimi on a weekday lunch :((((
i was still looking forward to sinking my teeth into the fresh salmon slices :(((

My plate
 photo 26-3_zpsfe82281a.jpg
This is my favourite, haha...
 photo 27-3_zpsfc729e9f.jpg
Some other stuff.. The curry was good :)
 photo 29-3_zps3d39d53a.jpg
i also like this! Tonkotsu ramen!
 photo 28-3_zps4526d6ed.jpg
That's about all the food. OKay, still got dessert and free-flow drinks, plus some sushi that doesn't look very appetising. Only got California roll, Inarizushi (tofu roll) and egg sushi. Also don't have Nigirizushi lor.. :(

Worth the 20 bucks per person?
i don't think so. i rather come during dinner time for the SASHIMI!!!!!!!
Ambience is nice though :):)

But we are both not avid buffet-goers. Cos we eat very little one.. eat buffet totally boh hua one, haha
 photo 30-3_zpsdab46b2e.jpg

Make use of the good lighting to take photo, haha
 photo 22-3_zps53dd7d49.jpg


After that, we went Vivocity for shopping! I wanted to get new clothes for CNY :D
Gloomy sky.
 photo 33-2_zps94cc320e.jpg

Went to Kissjane and tried on many clothes, wahaha.

This is one vintage dress which i thought was quite different from my usual style. But abit ahma, i think i cannot pull it off, haha.. Maybe a thin gold belt plus some accessories will do the job. Not the first on my wish-list though.
 photo 35-2_zps1a2b2114.jpg

This one is my style, haha. lace and chiffon. but getting abit sick of lacy stuff in my wardrobe. think i have over 20 pieces of lace-related clothing, hahaa
 photo 23-3_zps73b98728.jpg

A flowery corset top that's tooooooo tight for me. Omg, i got tummy liao and i look so bah bah here!
 photo 37-2_zps1ea5c518.jpg
i like the colour though, but too bad don't have S size. This is XS which obviously is too tight for me.

In a darker denim, this fits nicely :) haha and can't see fatty tummy, hehe
 photo 24-3_zps85ed3b91.jpg

Another random piece i tried at Kitshen.
 photo 36-2_zps16d93cb0.jpg
sorry for the photos overload, haha..
guess which one i bought? hehe

After that, we went back to Serangoon Nex and i found this at Yishion! haha. yes, the weird Yishun shop, ahha.. but i quite like some of the clothes there. very taiwanese style.
but I think they are from Cheena *shrugs*

im gonna wear this on the first day, keke...

My neck is killing me. i'm having another bad case of stiff neck.

My mom helped me to paste the koh yoke and boyfriend helped to massage my shoulders with Salonpas.
But it hasn't really become better.
In fact, the pain was more each day :(
Hope it's not chronic, haha.. The last time i had it for a week. They say usually stiff neck goes away after 2-3 days if it's caused by wrong sleeping posture. However, if it persists more than 7 days, then must consult a doctor.

i'll see what happens. Boyfriend says it's due to stress cos my muscles are tensed up during sleep. I think so too leh. Definitely stress from work! haha..
i must find a way out sooooooon!


Random stuff ahead, haha..

Random #1
The cleaner aunty at my work place brought her pet dog to the branch. Too bad pets not allowed inside, so my colleague helped me to take a photo outside.
omg, it's my favourite Teddy Bear Dog! :D
 photo 25-3_zpsb7877756.jpg

 photo 24-3_zpsd96d0dd8.jpg

Random #2
i found this super cute home socks from Isetan Nex last week. The cotton is so soft!!!!! it's not very realistic to wear this in our humid weather in Singapore, but i couldn't resist!  photo 1-4_zps40172dac.jpg
wahahhaa
 photo 2-4_zps4e6a3806.jpg

Last week, one of my regular customers came and gave me a belated new year gift.

Photobucket
She was so nice, kept 'feeding' me with food. When she came over, she always brought along homemade jellies, fruit cake, boh boh cha cha... which i shared with the rest of my colleagues.

This particular one, i brought it home :)
Photobucket
There were cookies and tea bags in a very pretty tin. On top of that, she gave me another box of Camomile tea bags.
:)

When i reached home, i left the gift bag on my dining table and went to bathe.
I was halfway bathing when i heard my mom call me from outside.

"The present on the table is for who?"

"Hah.. that one my customer buy for me one leh."

"How come she give other people present to you?"

"Other people present??"

"Yah lar.. got other people name written on the bag, you didn't see?"

I was thinking, hmmm... my customer really so cek arc pass me a present given to her by someone else meh?


When i came out of the shower, i scrutinised the whole bag to look for the name my mom mentioned that was written.
But I didn't see any name, so i brought it over to my mother and asked her to show me.

She answered,
"There.. here write so big the person's name 'Crabtree and Evelyn',  u never see ah??"

I know it's 6 days past New Year's Day, aha.. so this comes backdated.

I caught the most magnificient FIREWORKS display at Marina bay on New Year's Day when the clock struck 12am, hehe..

The last day of Year 2012, two hours before midnight, half the population was already at Marina bay, patiently waiting.
Photobucket
The floating balls were on the water, reflecting the coloured lights shining on them. Sight was awesome :)
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

I was there with boyfriend.
Photobucket
 Jayden was using his iPhone to take a panoramic view:)
Photobucket

Look at the number of people here! Half of them were foreigners and honestly, i didn't feel comfortable being so close to the bangalah. Don't mean to be biased but too many news reports saying they sexually harass girls in countdown parties etc. So naturally i was very wary. And they will one whole group purposely push and shove very, very close to girls, like they want to accidentally come into contact with you. Must go with guy friends so that they can shield and protect you.
Photobucket
Photobucket

Then, 2 minutes before midnight, it started drizzling alittle! We were like, "wah laoo, can wait awhile??? 2 minutes only!"

Heng the rain didn't get bigger and it was 12am finally! YAY
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
I also took video but it would take very long to upload, and i don't have time today, keke...

See our super satisfied faces? The fireworks display was a good 8 minutes??? wahaha... bf shirt was wet with rain, keke...
Photobucket

HAPPY 2013 PEEPS!!!!!
LOVE ALL OF YA, MUACKS~!  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
