As all my friends would know, I love to share make-up/skincare tips and good products. Especially with Demonz, we share them like crazy. When someone else benefits from the things I recommended, I feel a sense of fulfilment. Good things are meant to be shared. I am not a make-up or skincare master so I am just going to share the following products in my day to day make-up regime that has made

The flight was smooth, but not fantastic. Krisworld from SQ really needs improvements. There was really no good movies to choose from, music selection was limited and quite unpopular choices too, etc. After experiencing ICE on Emirates, Krisworld really pales in comparison. Am suffering from jetlag now because I did not sleep at all on the flight. Was supposed to sleep and wake up wide awake

The season of Christmas had always given a very special to me. When I was younger and went to church every week, Christmas was about preparing to put up a performance for a church celebration. It was about laughing and eating, and collecting lots of presents on Christmas Day. After 12, family tradition defines us as no longer children, we will not receive a present from each relative.

This is absolutely my new theme song whenever I hear someone who cannot stop thinking that they know better or try and tell me what to do. I usually pretend to look like I am listening and serious, but actually I am thinking about everything else under the sun. I've decided that I will pretend to look like I am listening and serious, and start singing this song in my head. It might work

夕阳永远都不说话，却温暖了晚霞。 你说出的情话，总让人更加牵挂。 This photo was taken at Nice, at Promenade de Ingles. How aptly it suits the opening line of Jam Xiao's new song, 话不多，in his latest album - "The setting sun never speaks, yet always warms the horizons."

Had a really nice dream last night. Dreamt I was in Barcelona again and met a friend. I cannot remember but I think we were looking to find some coffee before heading to Sagrada Familia. It was such a sweet dream, but when awoken, felt like I wished I never had that dream and it was more like a nightmare. Because I knew it will not happen in reality, which is quite disappointing. Then I posted

I am in Nice, South of France. I am typing on French keyboard whilst waiting to go to the airport for my flight. If I ever moved to France, I'll be the slowest typist ever. The keys are different and I have to look at the keyboard and screen simultaneously while typing. Usually, I do not look at the keyboard nor the screen; I just focus on my thoughts overflowing onto the screen and do not even

Wang is extremely dashing and stylish in this video. Love his looks. But why is this music on auto-tune? It is one thing that the Western music scene is full of auto-tune, they are mainly very party music. (By the way, I absolutely love Usher's auto-tune songs and have nothing against it). Same with the Chinese music scene where auto-tune is reserved for pop bands or party music. But this on

No time to organise my photographs at all. Sneek peeks of Milano here, will post more. Thanks to Melissa and Romeo for hosting me in Milan on such a last minute notice! I absolutely love Milan's Duomo, one of the most magnificent church I have ever seen. I really felt God's work in this church. The climb to the top was not easy, but I made it and the view was breath-takinging worth it.

Writing from Mel Lee's house...  One of my chef friend, ZQ, once told me that an Italian told him, there is no such thing as 'Italian' cuisine. I think I had come to understand this phrase since I had visited and eaten in a few cities in Italy, and after Mel (99% Italian convert) explained the Italian food culture to me. Fresh ingredients, quality olive oil, hand-made pasta and oven-grilled

人生本来就起起伏伏。有快乐，也有伤悲。 有些事情是你能控制，有些事情你只能接受。 能控制的，就选择快乐吧。 没能控制的，就要明白，快乐或伤悲，都会过去的。 人生就是要， 冷过，热过，放弃过，坚持过。 饱过，饿过，想念过，遗忘过。 笑过，哭过，灰心过，兴奋过。 爱过，恨过，寂寞过，满足过。 我的人生，认识了很多奇人。 有的变成了忘年知己，有的只是过路客。 不过遇见的每个人，好或坏，都教了我很多事情。 看见了在他们身上的每件事，都变成了我的经验。 我感谢上帝给我的所有伤悲，所有快乐。 让我感受到人生所有的‘过’。 感谢上帝让我遇见的每一个人，每件事情。 一路走来，我的智慧，都是因为他们。 我迫不及待想看人生为我安排了什么。 可能某时刻不是很开心， 不过下一秒的人生就是一件快乐事， 因为都是多一秒的希望。

By no means I know politics at all but these are my personal thoughts, and I want to record them now since I am in London. I had been following the news very closely, because this is where I am now and also because this is a completely different world to me. Having come from Singapore where riots and any form of demonstration is prohibited under Law, I am intrigued by what had caused people to

Let me count my blessings. I was extremely upset yesterday over a series of things. Then a friend from Singapore I was texting told me I am a very lucky person. There are good friends and family who had stopped by or are specially stopping by London because I am here. I know they always come especially at times when I need them. I'm blessed.

Life quite obviously is not fair. Earth was obviously not created fairly. If it is fair, then why are we treading the living grass beneath our feet, and why are the cockroaches eating our trash? In the whole scheme and cycle of Nature, there is no fairness to be spoken of. The concept 'Fairness' never existed, until Man created it by comparing. Some stars shine brighter, some stars merely glow.

Once again, as like many times before, I am caught up in the snow storm in my snow globe. In the snow globe, I view the world where everyone is born equal and innately good, and it is within everyone's goal to work towards a better tomorrow for all (and not just a single individual or a group of individuals). Why would anyone not want to do the above or at least try to work towards the above?

Sounding extremely cliché here, this is truly one of the most amazing building I have seen with my own eyes. Still a building in progress, after more than a hundred years of building. Estimated completion is in year 2050. This is the Nativity façade - dedicated to the birth of Christ.

I remembered when Reginne showed me photos of Sagrada Famillia & introduced me to Gaudi's architectural designs about two years back, I did not believe something like that existed. My first impression of Sagrada Famillia was - weird. Modern architecture focuses on clean sharp edges and many famous old churches features beautiful marble, stained glasses masterpieces and symbolical statues.

Watching Black Swan was an extremely and totally uncomfortable experience for me. Many scenes were in-your-face offensive and usually taboo, like Natalie Portman (acting as Nina) exploring her sexuality on wide-screen, or other scenes were just gruesome involving blood and nails. Essentially, this film takes you on a ride through the mind-path of a person who progresses to become schizophrenic

My favourite Caprese Salad. Mozarella Cheese is easily available in grocery stores here and only costs SGD1.80, which can make 2 Caprese Salad. This salad is so easy to make and tastes so good! You do not even need any dressing for it to taste good. The marriage of Tomatoes and Mozarella is just the most 'happily ever after' match made in Heaven. A simple breakfast. Even cooking this made me

Today I woke up, TRYING to think that I am feeling so miserable in London. The cold and rainy weather, the inefficient tube services, being away from my family and friends, not being able to eat my favourite Hainanese Chicken Rice... The thought probably lasted a split second, and I had to focus really hard to hold it.. Because, I am not feeling this way about where I am, I am actually enjoying

This past week home was like a dream. Not sure if I am in or out of a dream when I am here. I just spent a lot of time doing nothing, just chilling, eating or hanging out with close friends and family. Weather was cooling and nice. When we were planning to head to the beach, there was no rain. Demonz prepared a very fantastic sweet movie surprise for me! And I got to spend time with my family,

I watched the movie as one of the many movies I saw on the flight back to Singapore. The movie was a little dreary but the movie instilled a sense of excitement in me because the character was out in the world like me, looking for a meaning in her life. The author, Elizabeth Gilbert, summarizes it in simplest words what I felt half a year back in the book - "I used to have this appetite for my

I am in London and finally have some time to chill from work and settling down. Internet is also finally working, my bank account set up and my I have a plan for my iPhone! Whew~. Have moved into my Maida Vale apartment. I will not call it 'home', not in a bad way but I just want to make a distinction. For home will always be where home is, that is in Singapore. So I will call this London house,

Everytime i say bye and see you to my 6-years old cousin Caleb now when I am going out, he would say, "but i won't see you for two years, can you don't go?". Whenever he says that, i don't know what to answer. Imagine a little boy saying that to you with hopeful eyes and you know the answer is no. I know how to keep in contact with the adults. But how can i make my two young cousins remember me

I will be moving to London to work in mid November. Probably will be there for the next year or two. Contrary to popular beliefs, I did not fall in love with London when I went there in May this year. The city walls were painted in grey, the tube congested and dark (certain routes were often delayed or closed) and the weather always cold. I was actually terribly sick the last week I was in

Bruno Mars has a song - Just the way you are. This song is going to be the reason why many girls/women will fight with their boyfriends/husbands. This song is so sweet that it is simply unbelievable. No other half in this world will actually be contented with 'Just the way you are'. There's always a 'I think you should tie your hair this way' or 'I think you should not wear this top'. So, this

his song I've loved since Secondary school when I first heard it. Recently heard it on my iPhone on random playlist, still love it as much as the first time I ever heard it. For some songs, I will always remember how I felt when I first heard it, this song is one of them. Many things might change in life, but a song you love will always be a song you love, it never changes. Beautiful lyrics,

Was looking through Europe photos because we paid to do a 'Photo Story' where we collate photographs and use this professional template to make a book. Not really productive in sorting out the photos so I stopped. I found some interesting ones! (All these are after Rome, because I have already sorted the ones before Rome.

Was just having the MTV channel showing on the TV while I was doing my things and I heard this song on TV. Immediately liked it and searched for it. With the sudden rising of so many cult-like Korean dance tracks (Nobody, Sorry Sorry, Super Girl, Bo Peep, etc) where singing is not the main point, I almost forgot Koreans can sing! I've heard the band FT Island but did not know they were this good!

This was one of my favourite movie when I was young. Particularly loved this scene where Sammi played the guitar and sang to Ekin in sadness, then Sammi threw this ring into the aquarium and Ekin jumped down to get it even though he can't swim (haha I can remember from so many years). I did not understand the movie much, did not understand the Cantonese in this song, but back then I thought -

Back in London from Amsterdam since 26th. Was at Amsterdam for 2 days. Amsterdam is a really interesting place. Other than legalizing prostitution (which Singapore did too), they legalized drugs too, reason being they want to remain a 'free country' for the people. Cannabis, Marijuana (weed), Methamphetamine (ICE), etc are available in many stores. They sell it as lollipop, brownies, or the drug

Roma is a city of ruins! That's why we are here! To see the remains of the once glorious and magnificent Roman empire.Now sitting in the cold of the night on a bench, blogging and waiting for Min's washing to complete. I hand-washed and spin-dry. First time using a dryer, it's easy. Haha. We're at this really cool camp called Camping Roma, where we're in cabins for two. We have to walk out to the

I'm in Florence now, great news to everybody, we have internet access! Within these few days, we've done Paris and the Swiss Alps, seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It's really good, because these are the places I really want to see. Paris in France is amazing. There're a million and one photo you can see about Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and Arc de Triomph, but none will ever be able to make you

Time check, 23:49hrs on May 11, Tuesday. Found out there's wifi in the dorm, not necessary have to head down to the bar. All of them are asleep already in this beautiful place that safe-kept Roman and Georgian History. Did you know that the City of Bath is a Unesco listed Heritage site? Today was a rather hectic day. Went to Stonehenge in the morning, another Unesco Protected Site. Along the

In Belushi's Bar at Bath now. Time check 23:28hrs. Second night. The trip had been nothing short of drama. Fainted onboard flight from Singapore to Dubai, outside the toilet while trying to get to the toilet. It was so embarassing, when I regain consciousness, many flight crews were around me, I had a oxygen mask on my face, lying on the floor. And I think I hit the left side of my face,

Need to leave for airport in like 2 hours time, but seriously am not able to get any sleep. So tired earlier on that dozed off ON THE FLOOR while packing (not the first time dozed off while packing.. Does packing have such a therapeutic hypnosis effect?). But after one coffee, my brain is like on overdrive. Oh that reminds me, I must bring coffee! Almost forgot. Your intelligent guess will be

So vex over packing. *Pulling my hair out over this* So i started prowling the net for music videos again. Anyway I need to load more songs into my iPhone and my bro's iPod for the long trip. Downloaded some dance music. Tried listening to these 'dance' songs at home, really does not cut it. How to listen to dance music at home? I can even taste the alcohol on my tongue when I hear them. Haha.

I'm almost hyped up for the trip next week. Lots of preparation.. Unfortunately for me, my mum has gone to Hokkaido for one week. If I need to look for something, I really would not know where she placed things. Nevertheless, I still hope she enjoys her well deserved holiday. I can solve my own packing problems, haha. She will be back only a day before I leave, then I'll be gone for a month.

I really hate cold.Woke up in this cold airconditioned room, hands and feet are cold, the cold sneezes, the short bout of running nose.Going to commute in an airconditioned taxi or train, cold.Working in a totally airconditioned environment, cold.Was in a winter country few years back, hands and feet were cold and numb, could not feel the nose, developed cold rashes.Mum is last minute going to

Qing Hai earthquake toll nearing 2000 - last updated 2 hours ago. Eyjafjallajokull Eruption caused 800 to have to evacuate due to flash flooding and millions stranded in airports around the world. Today is Tuesday, 20th April 2010, 00:18 hours. Nature seemed to be in fury. Last week I had just wrote about how Nature inspires. I think it is not much of a surprise that everyone knows Earth is a

They say it's good to go hungry. And you must remember this feeling of hunger when you are full, so you never get too contented or conceited. I'm waiting... before I can head to the buffet line and start eating. So hungry. I'll learn to appreciate and remember this feeling. -- Post From My iPhone

In 2005, Singapore had a particular bout of hot summer. There were bush fires recorded island-wide. How do I remember till now? Because that last quarter of the year, almost all the plants in Singapore bloomed, even the trees and grass had flowers growing on them. The Bougainvilla lining the roads also flowered. The analogy then was that because of the particularly hot summer, vegetation all

I didn't want to stay at home last evening after going home from the Hospital. So asked the girls out. Spoke to Min about the misunderstanding earlier on. Also told her some stuff. She's the same as me, she cannot understand why people or things are bad. No matter and does not matter what happened in the past, I will choose to see the good in life. I will never let anything affect my passion
