It has been some time since I did this. Continuing where I left off… Day 07 — A song that reminds you of a certain event ZONE’s “HANABI ～君がいた夏～” (HANABI ~Kimi ga Ita Natsu) brings back great memories of J-Net fashion show especially the one in Fall 2007. It was my first year taking part in the fashion show and I…
[SR] Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask
If you guys are wondering why there is a “[SR]” at the beginning of the title, it stands for “sponsored review”. Yes! This is my first review of a sponsored product! Thanks toBio-essence and SampleStore.com! So exciting!
SkinnyMint teatox programme
Tadaa! I’ve completed the 28-day SkinnyMint teatox programme. There are tons of testimonials on the website but before you get bought into it, you must know that the product works differently for different people. Do not treat this like some miracle slimming medicine. As stated on the website, you still need regular exercise and good sleeping/eating habits. My experience with the…
devils and realist
Just completed 魔界王子 (Makai Ouji): Devils and Realist. I thought the author/manga artist was rather creative in using characters from heaven and hell to spin a story. While there’s the usual power struggle between both factions, there’s a twist to the qualities of the characters. Some devils are portrayed as kind while an angel is portrayed as one with negative qualities.…
married life
Was inspired to write this entry after a comment on a friend’s wedding photos. It’s always the same pattern of questions after someone gets married. How’s married life? When are you gonna have children? I used to laugh when someone asked me the first question, simply because there is no difference after I got married and moved into our own…
love vs. hate
Powerful words from a powerful man. As fights go on between Israelis and Palestinians, let’s be reminded that… No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more…
night cleansing
Am sipping the Night Cleanse tea (second brew) as I write this post. Was expecting the ginger taste to be really strong, but it’s surprisingly quite mild. The peppermint taste is also not too strong and rather calming. I only tasted the ginger when I reached the bottom of the cup. Hope it calms the achy feeling I got in…
dare to be gorgeous
Regular Facebook users should have noticed by now the ads for this detox…or teatox programme called SkinnyMint. Detox has been on my mind for some time now. Ever since I started work, I’ve been battling a constipation problem. I also had a persistent pimple problem on my back. I figured what I really needed was a good detox. My mother-in-law…
some things are better left as memories
As quoted by a friend, “…some things are better off as just memories.” Couldn’t agree more. Normally I wouldn’t start watching an anime series until I’ve got all the episodes. It’s a weird habit but I would rather have uninterrupted viewing than have to impatiently wait for a new episode to be released. This rule sticks unless I’m too excited…
high school romance
I used to go crazy on manga but stopped for a while since it became a little too costly to keep up. Instead, I turned to online scanlations. Yes, I broke the cardinal sin of turning to online English scanlations, but hey, I read English much faster than I do with Chinese. Well, it lasted for a while until I…
