Cheesecake

If I can ever get a pooch, I'm gonna name it cheesecake.

Soft and moussy and cheesy and yummy.

If I get a grey huskey, I'll name it Toro.

If it's a pomeranian, I'll call it Kimchi.

My dream pup, the corgi - I'll name it Frankfurters.

Heh.

Paintings

Since it's 3 on the morning, I shall leave the pictures to do most of it's narration. Darn sleepy already.

I FUCKING contributed on the paint work too okie.



My room's, incomplete. Shall extend and improvise. I know, not fantastically done. Not bad for a first timer right? Supposed to be some kinda amour flower, ended up looking like some abstract scorpion which got me dead pissed. FYI, yours truly majored in abstract arts back during the uniformed days.


I'm going to sleep. Nitez hun.

Okok, I know this news is lil' passé. Forgive me



From Stomp
To the shock of a Pasir Ris resident, this teenage couple clad in school uniform, were seen indulging in public displays of affections right at the neighbourhood playground.

In an email to STOMP, MZ said:"This is ridiculous and shameful, in public and under the sun in school uniform. "The teenager couple were seen rolling on the playground at Pasir Ris Street 21 , Blocks 223. "It was 13:00 pm, I came back and heard some moaning noise and looked out of my window.

"My wife and kids saw this teenage couple in uniform from kissing and performing immoral acts right under the sun at the play ground. "We think this is too much.... and it's in the children's play ground.

"Greenview Secondary's Mr Koh Kok Khai (the principal from my time was named pika chu if my memory didn't fail me. Awwww~) clarifies that these students are NOT from the school.







1) DON'T WORRY FELLOW SCHOOLMATES, NOT OUR JUNIORS. Looks like Siglap's (the girl's uniform) though. *ahem* no offence. Just a presumption.

2) There's even a video, can you believe it? I don't understand how can one possibly video cam another just for the 5 seconds of fame. Why haven't it occur to them they are indirectly invading into other's piracy leh? This is how bo liao we people can get.

Myth busted

Does eating sugar cause wrinkles?
NO. Sugar doesn't directly cause wrinkles, but a poor diet, such as crash-dieting, or fat-free diets can lead to premature wrinkling because of the evaporation of fat cells in the face which can leave you with sagging jowls and dark under eye circles, according to Dr. Audrey Kunin, a Missouri dermatologist and founder of DERMAdoctor.

(You see this babes? FAT-FREE diets can lead to premature wrinkling. So having a moderate diet is essential. I bet Jolin's gonna get wrinkles real fast cuz we all know she's pretty much having a total fat-free diet by "cleansing" her food in hot water + tea. In fact, over exercising causes one to shrivel too)


Is the inner wrist the best place to test for the right shade of makeup?
NO. Your inner wrist is the lightest part of your body and can throw off the accuracy of selecting a foundation shade. Instead, test on your jaw line and take your chest color into consideration as well, says Carmindy.

(hmmm. Ok, point noted)


Do I have to throw out my makeup after a certain time period?
NO. Use your best judgment. If an item doesn't smell right or changes consistency or color, it's definitely time to trash it, says Biria.

(So much for the 3 years myth huh? Must be those bloody marketers that positions our behaviour this way. Darn)

88 eyeshadow palette

New toy! OMFG I've been flaunting this 88 eyeshadow palette ever since I laid my hands on it! 88 colours, can you believe it????




I didn't think the pigmentation will be as credible given the price I bought this but it turns out rather lasting unlike many of those retailing out there!



JT volunteer to be my guinea pig. How brave. Told her I was going to make her look like 如花 and she totally freaked out. LOL.

Aspirin blemish eraser *Edited*

Sorry sorry! September was swamped with events and activities like painting my house. Of all times, dad had to choose my birthday month to torture me like this. Bleah.

Okok, let's not digress with my ranting. Can't wait to tell you people the result of my experiment with the aspirin can?!

But ah, I don't have the pics with me (I'm typing this in office, duh) so I guess I'll only complete this post by Saturday (hopefully!) whilst juggling my revision.

So stay tuned! XOXO



1) Aspirin. Well of course, it's the panadol we commonly used. The one I took was panadol extra. Hopefully it hastens the effect.


2) I attempted to pound the pill into powder after which, add water to make it into a paste. Pill was surprising solid hard to break. Stupid enough. Just add moderate amount of water to the pill and soften it, makes your life easier.


See, soften liao.


3) It shouldn't be so watery, but if you see carefully, there is one small portion which hasn't really dissolved. That could be used.


4) Apply it onto the blemish

Ok, I've further improvised it using a cotton pad to cover the paste, so it doesn't solidify nor starts dripping (if you've made it tad watery).


5) Wash it off after 10 to 15 mins.



-------------------------------------------

Now for the results, honestly you can't see any difference after you wash it. But it does sooth the swell the next day. At least its quite visible as compared to those conventional pimple creams or blemish sticks. Try using the paste for 2 - 3 days.

Why not right? Since most of us has panadols in our household and it's cheap. Another thing I've found out is, when the paste is washed off, it acts as an exfoilator cuz there are small particles that actually feels like micro-beads found in most facial scrubbing products. Might want to try that too.


However, do take note of the following:

1) Do not apply too close to your mouth, you wouldn't want to taste the bitterness I'm sure.

2) People who are allergic to aspirin or panadols or paraceptamols are not advised to try this. I definitely do not wish to see your complexion worsen.

Doraemon

A colleague told me the grand finale of Doraemon/Xiao Ding Dang was Nobi (Da xiong) eventually woke up to find out the entire presence of Doraemon was merely a dream.

I.e. No such thing as Doraemon at all.

I.e. Doraemon is fictional in the fiction animae.

I.e. Doraemon is nothing but Nobi's very own fantasy.

...

How can?!





I'm in a deep, constant denial. I cannot accept the fact. Please tell me it's not true. Allow me to weep my heart's content.

Beauty tips for the eyes - Remedies for dark circles

Few of the well-known remedies to ease dark circle:

1) Cucumber slices



One of the many remedies we girls know that reduces puffy eyes. While eye bags seemingly creates an effect of dark circles because of the casted shadow, reducing the puffiness eventually aids in reducing dark circles.

There are 101 ways cucumber that aids in achieving a supple skin, you may wish to get facial products with cucumber extracts in them.

2) Tea-bags: Tea bags are especially effective to use on dark swollen circles because the tannin found in tea helps eradicate puffiness - Source


(Note: Be careful about what type of teabag you use. If you have allergies a tea bag like chamomile might swell your eyes - Source)

My vote goes to Green-tea bags instead. Chill it for awhile and place them on your eyes. Soothing.


3) Concealer: Dab some over the dark circle to even out the contrasted tone. I personally don't advice this because it's rather harsh especially to use it on such delicate skin like the lower lids.





These seems feasible enough, takers may want to try them out:

1) Potato juice
I read that potato has bleaching agent in it, extracting juice out from the potato and applying aids in lightening dark circles.

Bleaching agent - I wonder if it helps in whitening too? Then I can use it for the body. Problem is, how the hell am I suppose to extract the juice out from the uncooked potato? Shall try it someday.

2) Cut down on the intake of salt - because it retains water which leads to most cases of puffy eyes.

3) Consume more vitamin K

in short, it means eat more of your greens. (I thought that's vitamin C?)

4) Cut down on the intake of fluid before you head to bed - similar to point 2.

5) Exercise, exercise and more exercise - good news and bad news here. Any perspiration before a good 30 min workout (with a heartbeat rate of 120 times I think) do not burn fats. That's the bad news. Good news is, it helps reduce the excessive amount of fluid in your body.



Remember this? I said I'd love to try point 11 - using crushed aspirin to heal blemishes. I gave it a go yesterday night. Be back for the updates. XO.

Beauty tips for the eyes - What causes dark circles?

Most of us were taught that sleeping late causes dark circles. Fortunately yours truly wasn't bugged with that problem despite being an owl.

So I think it's really quite individualistic. I thought some are blessed with immaculate complexion while some are simple borned with dark circles.

Which many years later, I've managed to gather the fact that sleeping late causes dark circles are pretty much a myth. Ok, one may be blessed and borned with heavenly complexion, but none are borned with dark circles. Nah uh.

Some stuffs to take note in order to prevent dark circles, otherwise worsen:

1) Never, ever rub your eyes
Why: When the blood vessels or veins beneath the skin become irritated or enlarged, bluish green shadows appear. Vascular inflammation can be caused from seasonal allergies, especially in the spring and summer when many people suffer from pollen and grass cutting allergies. - Source

2) People with sinus have the tendency of having dark circles - now, please don't get too complacent and think that sneezing means someone is thinking of you. It's actually worsening your dark rings.
Why: Constant sneezing can cause tiny blood vessels to burst, especially under the eyes, making under eye shadows look even worse. - Source

3) Have sufficient sleep - ok, this is not EXACTLY why dark circles occur. It's a matter of colour and reflection. Read on.
Why: Lack of sleep can make skin look pale, allowing blood vessels to show through and give the appearance of dark circles. - Source

4) People with seemingly big eyes have dark circles.
Why: Ok, this is because people with bigger eyes will need a larger eye socket to support the eye ball, hence it casts a shadow underneath the skin which made it looked like dark rings. When it's actually not. People with large eyes aren't necessary having the best life and privileges. :P

5) Be very gentle when removing eye makeups.
Why: Refer to point 1.

1st class luxury

Mum made good stuff the other day and yours truly was instructed to drink it before I head to bed. Plus, no consumption of cold water before (and after I think) I have the bird's nest. Why I dunno. Albeit very much into beauty stuffs and all, I have seriously no idea why and how the chinese medicines works.


All I know is, celebrities claimed these stuffs worked for their heavenly good complexion.





Entire pot of good stuff untouched, dad and mum waited for me to have it first before any of them tuck in. Parents, they the only 2 person who bestowed you your life and love you the most in this entire life of yours.




Me: "Daddy daddy, today's one got funny aroma leh. Mummy leh? Where is she?"

Him: "Got meh? She go play MJ."

Me: "Orh. Got. The color also looked slightly lighter today. Mum must have ran out of honey sugar hence used rock sugar instead."

Him: "Yarlor. But this pot can easily cost 200 odd ok."

Me: "I know. But still smell funny leh." *dubious look*

Him: (cricket cricket)


Digress: Your truly hated the smell and taste of ginseng ever since her brain has developed.

Even the root, diluted with 99% of water can be detected by her dog-liked sniff.


Me: (scoop scoop)

Him: "Tsk. Nothing lahhhhhh."

Me: (ignores and scoop scoop)

Me: "HOR HOR!!! SEE!!! GOT REN SHEN!!! YOU ALL WANT TO BLUFF ME RIGHT?"

Him: "Why? Ginseng is good for health. No taste one. *taste* So diluted liao, no ginseng taste at all!"

Me: "Can don't drink not? Heeheehee"

Him: "Wo da ni hor!" (I beat you hor)

Of course I was kidding to say I'm not drinking. It's mum's TLC and effort afterall.






Daddy: "Your this bowl cost 40 bucks already. Careful don't spill. Will lugi 1 dollar per spill." *LOL and walks away*


*ahem* =__="' That's my dad.

Popsicle

Was very much tempted to get this popsicle moment I see it. All so girlie and yummlicious. Neapolitan flavour somemore. Favourite.


The packaging's too cute to resist isn't it? (check out that lil' polka dot ribbon!) Unlike other wrappers of ice-creams that looked anything but attractive.

Only that this is a soap.









WTF?~ Soap also so nicely dressed nowadays! People, see? Even the SOAP we use to lather our dirty body clean also getting chioer and chioer.

















So many varieties to choose from somemore. Typically targeted at women and our fidelity.


Gong Li has got Pink IC? Who's next? Bradgelina and clan?

Check this out.


Does that mean we get to see Gong Li appearing in mediocre places of Singapore with her tees and flip flops too?

Narcissism

A random speech with my friend reminded something which I thought of sharing with you guys.

To begin with, I think being a woman sucks the biggest time of all.

Why so? Ok, this was what happened.

So, last weekend when I was out for dinner with dad, there is this couple sitting rite opposite me. Guy was in blue, his pregnant wife (reckon at least 8 mths pregnant) in pink , very typical colors which contrasted both sexes.

I got barbaric, this overwhelming and crude thought came into my mind: Man are made to spread his offspring, while women are made to CARRY his offspring to spread.

So man actually plants his thing into women's tummy, this bizzare thingy grows non-stop for 10 months. Whether or not the woman like it, she's bound to carry it for the next 10 months and suffer - while men sits there comfortably, no deform, no tummy with weird tumor growing in.

Guy remains the same while the woman gets bloated like some balloon. It's batshit gross can? (yes, the word is "gross" and not "unfair" or whichsoever. No idea why this word cross my mind back then) And why is it that the thingy gets out after the woman going through so much miseries plus deformities, the guy gets to claim the thingy his by naming that thing after his surname?

Conclusion: I need a shrink. Such thoughts are extremely against the works of mother nature and hell, not encouraged to ponder on.

It's a girl's thing
