Family Dessert

In this post, I am only going to talk about this very traditional dessert in Singapore.
That is Ice Ka Chang. It is actually a bowl of shaved ice with mainly 3 to 4 different kind of syrups pour onto different side. At the bottom, you can find grass jelly and red bean. On top, you can canned corn.

This is a very simple dessert but to me, it's one of the best dessert. It is the only dessert that you can only finish them with a family and a dessert that allow us to look back to the past. I have a few reason for saying this.  As you know, Ice Ka Chang comes in a very big portion, so obviously one alone can't finish them. And with all the different colors, it's so colorful which made a attractive dessert that the kids(the past) want them. AND it's so cold, sweet and nice that attract us Singaporean all the team! So for all these reason,  this is a dessert that every family will always share and only with family, you can taste the memories of it.

People tend to forgot about the past when they grow up. If you do not have a good relationship with your family and want to mend it, why not start from Ice Ka Chang? You do not have to do anything. Just let the taste bring you and your family back to the happy moment.

Wish you guys all the luck~


(I personally love the brown sugar syrup part!)

I have been looking for this Sneaker/Wedges ever since i saw it appear at the MV, I Mean You by 5Dolls and Jay Park(AOM). From the video and some research, i can say that the upcoming fashion for SS11 will not be the typical wedges that you found. It will more be the boots-type wedges and also the above sneaker-type wedges. 

For now, sneaker-type wedges trend have not reach Singapore but i believe it will soon. Therefore, i can't wait to buy them! So now, i would like to say to all my readers.... Please do tell me if you guys saw this type of sneakers wedge! SERIOUSLY CANT WAIT TO BUY THEM!

Below is the MV that shows this sneakers. They have 2 parts that have a different twist of the story~ Please watch them~ (It appears at Part 2 on 4:01min)

Hottest Red Chinese New Year

Frankly Speaking, this is the Best CNY i have for my teenage/adult life. I don't mean to sound old but I really do enjoy this year's New Year! Though i did not go to much relatives house (since most of them are at Thailand),  but i really spent a lot of time and thoughts shopping for my clothing and thinking what type of makeup to up. I had also did a lot of mask before that. haha

So now, i won't talk more but let the picture speaks.

Day1:









Day 2:




I change my second day outfit as the formal one is too inappropriate for visiting elderly... haha~
Hope you guys like it~ Peace!

Beauty: Top 3 Favourite Lip Products

Having thick lips are not a pleasant things for me. I was always made fun of since young.
As lipgloss doesn't goes well with my lips (they will made them look greasy and thicker!) and i have very dry lips, it's hard for me to find lips products that suites me. But now, i fnally tend to love my lips more after using these 3 products!

Bobbi Brown - Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks
 
From Website
This cream-based formula is great on both lips and cheeks for a sheer, stained finish. Available in a wide array of color choices for a variety of skin tones. For All Skin Types. Creamy and easy to blend - pat on lips and cheeks for a pop of color. For best results on cheeks, use fingers or Foundation Brush to apply. Start on the apples of cheeks, blending up towards hairline, then downwards to blend and soften color. For drier skins, be sure to moisturize skin first.


I am totally in love with this product! It's my No. 1! Like said, it can be used for both the cheeks and the lips. Not only that, the colour is very beautiful too! Mine is in Cabo Coral and it really suites me! The product is very consistent and it's not oily after putting on too. When it's put on, It looks just like my own lips, like a stain as it doesn't shines like the lipstick and lipgloss. Not only that, having a matching blush and lips makes my whole face looks very consistent. Love it.



Mac: Peacocky


From Website
Luscious in pay-off and application, Kissable Lipcolour applies with the smooth glide of a lip gloss, then finishes with the creamy pigment-rich look of a Lipstick. New Slimline vial complete with doe-foot applicator.



When i first saw Kissable Lipcolour, i am like aren't it the same as Lipgloss? But in the end i bought Exxxhibitionist. So after i went back home and try it on my lips, it's definitely not lipgloss.... It's so much better and richer than lipgloss. It's like a lipstick but in liquid form. It last freaking long and even after eating chicken wing, you will still see the colour lightly stain your lips. So after that, i went back to buy 2 other colour in different day. But 1 thing bad about this will be that IT IS LIMITED EDITION!!! Arghhhhhh......


Urban Decay: Lip Junkie Lip Gloss

From Website
You want a super-shiny gloss, but can't stand the sticky texture, right? Wait till you feel the soft, cushiony texture of this gloss! Lip Junkie stays put longer than other glosses, but never feels gummy or gooey. It comes in a range of pretty amazing shades (if we do say so ourselves), and the color payout is amazing. Take your pick from sheer pretty neutrals, kick-ass brights, or glimmering near-black. And the flavor? Think yummy wedding mints... a sweet mint with a little zing that makes breath feel fresh. 


This is my first Urban Decay Lip product that i ever owned and it's my favourite Lip gloss! One thing that i really loves it is that it has this minty taste/feel to it which kind of makes my mood better when i have it on. Another thing is that when put on, you will not feel sticky at all but yet it makes your lips feel smooth. It's like you are putting on a lip balm!



So, in total, i am really enjoying these few lip products especially the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks! If you are still studying and really want to put a bit of makeup to brighten your face, this will be a very good choice!~

I have also posted videos on these 3 lip products! Please do check it out!~
 Peace!~

M.A.C Wonderwoman Edition

Ok... If you are my Secondary School friends, you will know about my nickname or what represent me the most. And THAT IS WONDERWOMAN!!! lol...

Why am i being called as wonderwoman? That's because from my friends POV or among my clique, i am the most well...., hardworking, knowledgeable about a lot of stuff and strong i purpose... I dare to say that I am really Hardworking! But as for knowledgeable, hmmm... maybe I just know slightly more than them. While as for strong, maybe that's because when a group of my guy friends is carry stuff, i will offer to help? But the most important thing is that i do really take care of my friends and they said i am just like a mother to them -_-....

Enough of that....  Before i starts, I would like to say that the following images are taken from the m.a.c Websites... 
Wonderwoman! (Splash Page)
To tell you the truth, I hardly watch wonderwoman cartoons... But somehow i can connect with her and i think she is cool as there isn't much heroic character around. 
(the products with a stamp on it is some products that i am considering)

Powderblush and Mineralize SkinFinish  
I love blush the most but really want to see them in person now....


Eyeshadow Palettes
I am really IN LOVE with their packaging! Just look how strong is the design and colours. I am considering the red or green palatte... But i am going to buy 1 only! cause it is too expensive as it should be around S$98 per palette. 
(If i have the money, I seriously don't mind to buy all of them... LOL)


Mascara and Loose Pigment
 Yes i know i am considering too much product but i can't help it! They are just too beautiful! Never have a color mascara before so was thinking of having it. And i never had a pigment before so thinking of getting one too! haha~


Lipsticks and Lipgloss
Seriously, these have to wait till i really look at the colors whether it is suitable for me... As i have a different upper (purplish) and lower (pinkish) lip color, not all colors suites me....

So that's it! Really am excited to get this coming edition! You guys better not buy them ar! LOL

Future Goal

If you do not know me, I am someone that always like to foresee my future and set a distinguish goal to achieve. That's me.

Primary School:
Being the middle child in my family, I was dot be able to get the attention of my parents or any elderly. What's more? I am not pretty and do not study well at all. All my life, i was being compared to my sister's independent, prettiness, my brother's cuteness, anything that you can think of. That's why, since young, I am very rebellious.

I was always being nagged by not only my mother, but also my auntie who comes to my house everyday. Seriously hate it. Whenever she saw me not doing any homework (even though i didn't have any), she will starts nagging at me.

Then one day, i can't help it and burst into anger. I quarreled with her a quite long. I made a deal to her that she will not to nag or bother about me if she wants me to achieve good result for my PSLE.  That's when i first really starts to really study. However, at times, she will came into the room keeping some clothes or whatever, i know that she is spying and i can tell you the feeling sucks. So in the end I score ok but not that great and went into Deyi Secondary School (NA).

Secondary School:
This is where everything starts. That is also when i am really sick of being under my sister's shoes.... So on the very day that i starts my secondary school life, i tell myself that i am gonna win my sister. I am gonna let her feel pressurize... So from that point, my result got better and better. I am always at the top few. However, i can never jump to Express that made me sad. 

From Secondary 3, i aimed to go to Junior college so that i can finally sit at the same position as my sister used to be. However, everything changes when i have this 3 month tryout in SRJC. Though SRJC is consider one of the lowest JC, but i know that i will not be able to survive there. My English just can't pull through that 2 years.

I got my O level result and it wasn't that great that i thought of. I got 16 point if i am not wrong. Thanks to the geography topic that they suddenly came out. At that time, i did not really thought of my studies but about how am i going to face my parents. "Am i going to lose my parents' love that i have build up for all these years?", " Am I going to go back like previously?". Luckily, rather than losing the love that i have always yawn for, my mum comfort for, i can say, the first time. This is when i finally knew that my mum has changed her POV of me.

I thought to myself. Why am i always trying to win over my sister when not even a day i am happy even though i got great results? That is when i started thinking whether what is the thing that i really want.


Polytechnic
I have always like to draw, paint and think of stories. I have already lose my chance taking art during secondary school (due to my mum) and i really do not want to lose another chance to do what i like. So i gets into Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Multimedia and Animation.

My 3 years there is hectic and i have faced a lot of problems that you guys can never imagine. I join the ICT society which i will always turn away if i'm in the past. However i am happy. I have learnt and experience a lot of things. Those are my assets that my sister do not have. My grades are above good too. I got an overall of GPA 3.5 if i am not wrong. I am contented. My parents are proud of me too.


University/Work
Predictably, i apply for NTU, ADM. I have always aim for that and nothing more. However, after about 3 months of waiting, i got rejected. That's a lot of time wasted.

Looking for the first job wasn't easy. I have been applying for job while waiting for NTU admission. And finally, about 5 months of searching, i got accepted by Metro as an Graphic Artist and started working on August 11. And now i am still working. However, i might starts studying soon as i am going to apply for my degree this year. However, I am thinking of marketing or management. I came to realistic, with my standard and creativity, i can't survive in the design world. I can't put my name in that board. Also, to become a Art Director one day, i will also need managment/marketing skills too...

I wanna make myself big.... I wanna be the one that people recognized and look upon to. Lookout yall...
