Happy 23rd Anniversary 🙂

You’ve been a wonderful shelter for the past 23 years, always there for me during my ups and downs.

8-8-88 – that was when we first moved in. I still remember my excitement when we watched our first NDP with you, when we could still see the fireworks across the forest.

Thanks for giving me love and laughter all these while 🙂

This must be my 4th Bintan trip already. Company’s Away Day (retreat) this year is back to Bintan Lagoon, wonder how it will be 🙂

I’ll be back soonest! I promise 🙂

I think the contact form isn’t working properly again. I need a new plugin!

Nope this is not a sponsored post, neither is it an advertorial.

It all started when I was chatting with Kat on msn, who is currently working in P&G, specialising on Olay & SK-II products.

She told me on her not-lazy days, she would apply up to 11 products on her face. I went WHAT?! I thought I was hardworking when my daily regime consists of 5 steps. *stares at Kat*

What my regime (on non-lazy days) consists of:

Day time:
– Skin Food Black Sugar Bubble Foam Cleanser [ I’m a fan of foam cleansers, there is no fixed one that I use ]
– Su Hyang Snow Beginning Serum
– Su Hyang Snow Boosting Toner
– Su Hyang Snow Essence / Dr. Beauty Ion Whitening Spot Corrector [ I alternate between these 2 ]
– Su Hyang Snow Balancing Fluid / Balancing Moisturiser
[I don’t usually put on make-up, but if I do, there’s an additional step of BB-cream here]

Night time:
– Peeling Day White Jewel [ Alternate days ]
– Skin Food Black Sugar Bubble Foam Cleanser
– Marine Step Cell Cell Revive Mist Toner
– Raspberry ROOTS Collagen Eye Patch [ Once / Twice a week ]
– Mask [ Once a week ]
– Su Hyang Snow Maximising Gel Cream

Mine used to be all Su Hyang Snow ( from THE FACESHOP ) products, until I explored other brands like Marine Step Cell ( also from THE FACESHOP ), Dr. Beauty ( from THE SAEM, in Korea, not available in Singapore ). So far so good, no major outbreaks for the past 3 months.

And what Kat’s regime consists of: [ Copied and pasted from the list she gave me ]

*Morning [Days when I ‘m not lazy & when I remember I have a bad complexion]
1) Cleanse face when showering
2) Facial Clear Lotion – Toner
3) Facial treatment essence – Miracle water
4) Facial Treatment Repair C [Maintain skin renewal & reduce fine lines]
5) Whitening source derm definition [targeting spots on my face]
6) Moisturiser
7) Facial Treatment UV Protection – Sunblock
*8) Eye Cream [If u have dark eye rings like me]
9) Olay Touch of foundation
10) Concealer [If you have pimples or occasional blemishes like me]
11) Pigeon Powder [Most people will use loose powder/compressed powder]
12) Blusher

*Night [Nights when I’m not defeated by the exhaustion of the avalanche of work]
1) Cleansing Oil [Clean make up] Some people use wipes
2) Water [Oil & water emulsify to give a thorough cleanse] If you use cleansing gel, can skip this step
3) Cleanser
4) Facial Clear Lotion – Toner
5) Cellumination Mask In Lotion [Boost Aura, radiance & whitening] *Optional
*6) Skin Rebooster [Wipe off gel mask for hydration during shower]
7) Facial Treatment Essence – Miracle Water
8) Facial Treatment Repair C [Maintain skin renewal & reduce fine lines]
9) Skin Refining Treatment [Exfoliate dead skin & refine clogged pores]
10) Signs Up lifter [Prevent Skin sagging & Aging]
*Occasional mask every 1 or 2 weeks is highly recommended.

This was what went on in my mind when I saw her list : -_-!!

I’m impressed. How can one be so hardworking every morning??

But then, the face is ours. We should take good care of it, regardless how lazy we are.  Personally I don’t think there is a right or wrong to a regime, as long as it suits you. So that’s mine & Kat’s regime, what about yours?

明明就已经很累了，却还一直逞强。

Nope this isn’t going to be any tech-related post!

Was looking at the site stats via the blog dashboard, (and I don’t do this on a daily basis) and realised that people land on my blog for one reason: they are interested in the japanese rape outrage.

And this is what Google Analytics says..

This has been happening for a few years now, the blog gets hits pretty frequent based on this search. Till date, I’ve yet figured out why. -_-!

I seldom blog during lunch hours, but I really got pissed off after reading this article on hardwarezone. Pissed that this guy simply ignored the old man’s request for the seat. More pissed off when someone commented this:

Yes he may be a paying commuter too, but shouldn’t we all be considerate?

When I was in Korea, no one ever touches the reserved seats (See pic above, the seats are of a different colour and are situated at both ends of the carriages)! Regardless peak or off-peak hours, packed or non-crowded train, reserved means reserved. The locals will stare at you if you take the reserved seats!

Putting myself in the shoes of the elderly, I would greatly appreciate if there are seats for me ’cause my legs are not as strong as they used to be.

I’m pretty fine if we take the seats when there are no needy personnel around, but give up the seats if you see them! And not hog by pretending to sleep!

On another note, we do not know the entire story. These people might have internal injuries but not serious enough to have a cast or to use crutches. It’s always those black horses who spoil the market.

Nevertheless, I think we should exercise consideration on public transport. Give up your seats to people who need it more than you.

Nothing beats seeing a sudden MSN message that says “jiayou! No matter what happens, remember that we’ll always be there for you” 🙂

That brightened up my day immediately!

Am not a very sociable person, so I’m really glad to have this group of gfs who have no issues of hearing my complaints (almost typed whines but I think I’ve never whined to them before).

If I were to think of one plus point of studying in NTU, it will be them. They are the only reason I loved school life!

Thank you my dear gals! I wonder how I survived before I met you gals! 😀

1) In an effort of having a healthy diet for the day, I’m drinking milk to sustain the hunger now.

2) Has to get used to the fact that new shoes ALWAYS equate to blisters.

3) Has to start consuming more fruits / veg, and lesser meat / fried food. The arms are starting to protest!

4) Emo days are not over, yet.

5) Still missing you, finding it hard to move on.
