Anti-Drug Game Launch: Escape From Drugs Land

2012-01-31T17:03:00.001+08:00

In a refreshing approach to send the anti-drug message to the younger generation, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) have launched a series of online gaming challenge on Facebook. There are altogether three games that will be launched, and the one I'll be introducing today is the final one, launching on 1 February (tomorrow)! :) The first game

When I Turn 22 Last December...

2012-01-27T00:09:00.001+08:00

There are no more elaborate parties nor celebrations, just a quiet cake-cutting ritual that took place at night. Cake from The Icing Room failed to impress my taste buds. Only that greedy girl seem to enjoy it much. Sis had to go off straight after, she had a date elsewhere. In the day, we just roamed around a mall. Not knowing what to get me, he eventually got me a pair of

Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Silky Product Review

2012-01-19T19:08:00.003+08:00

This is a backdated post as I was supposed to update on my hair's progress on Day 7 and Day 14. I had LASIK surgery on the first week on January so I try as much as possible not to use the computer. It's almost 21 days of using Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Silky series now and here are some of my thoughts about the products: Shampoo: I've mentioned before it smells very sweet, similar to a

The "English" Spring

2012-01-11T23:28:00.001+08:00

I guess I must have misled several people into thinking I was a party girl even before they knew me in person. Over the years, I've been accused of so many things it's hard to change an impression any way. In fact, I seldom celebrate festivities at huge parties or night clubs. However, when I'm invited to attend, it's my pleasure to join friends for countdowns and have a good time. On

A Song To Remember

2012-01-06T15:48:00.001+08:00

One of the few Mediacorp TV series that I watch and like. I still think I'm born in the wrong era. Haha. 那一刻，他们也许已经在心里许下心愿，此生处于不再需与别人 For Sanyu <3

#NAPBAS Day 2

2012-01-03T01:49:00.000+08:00

Gonna go a quick post before heading to bed. Will probably be unable to use the computer for the next few days because I'm going for LASIK tomorrow morning! Arrangements were made for us bloggers to go for a tour in the day. Most of us had difficulty waking up for breakfast at 8.30am, considering that we only crashed at 4+ the night before. I managed a quick breakfast with Silver, Nadia

2011-12-30T23:59:00.002+08:00

Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011

2011-12-29T22:56:00.000+08:00

The first Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards (NAPBAS) was nothing short of fun, glitz and glamour. A fortnight ago I was scrambling around the house, trying to put my attires together for #NAPBAS (for twitter sake), hoping that they would all fit into my tiny suitcase. I knew I needed a bigger baggage, but I didn't want to appear too "wannabe" if I'd brought along the bigger luggage, so I just

All I Want For Birthday Is...

2011-12-27T01:25:00.002+08:00

.... A comfortable swivel chair! The one I'm sitting on right now (clear acrylic) has cracked and has been cutting into my thighs ever since. -,- No more plastic. Haha. I was pretending to at all 'cool' and modern previously, but I've now come to realize it's NOT practical. Y THIS GIRSBERGER CHAIR LOOKS SO FUTURISTIC AND COMFY?! I would also gladly settle for this IKEA

Singapore Kindness Movement '11

2011-11-20T21:10:00.001+08:00

Last weekend, I spent my Sunday morning doing something meaningful by participating in the Singapore Kindness Movement 2011. Volunteers at the flag-off for Singapore Kindness Movement This event was held as part of the annual Singapore Kindness Movement. Daniel Ong is the Kindest host (his own joke) I do think that Singaporeans (yes, including myself!) need to create a kinder and

My Nuffnang Story

2011-11-19T16:12:00.001+08:00

Over the past few years, I have been an active supporter of Nuffnang. It has been a fulfilling year for me, as the year started with me being nominated as Vice-President for Nuffnang G+. I have been part of the group ever since its launch, and I’m so grateful to those fellow bloggers who have voted for me, it really came as a surprise for me. :.) Following that, I also made new friends and

N.E.mation! Bloggers' Animation Workshop

2011-11-17T16:23:00.001+08:00

This was my first time being part of the annual N.E.mation! challenge in search of talented youths as they express their patriotism on Total Defence through animation. This year marks the six years of success in the program, and was invited by Sara to attend the N.E.mation! 6 Bloggers' Animation Workshop!

2011-11-08T16:43:00.000+08:00

Leading fashion designer Stella McCartney has created a highly functional sports apparel range for adidas this Fall/Winter. Her latest activewear collection comprises of fashion-forward outfits for running, yoga and tennis. The fashion line was launched last month (October 2011), held at Marina Bay Sands The Shoppes. It was a wet evening so most of the guests were late, including

SilkBath: Bathe in Silk

2011-11-07T18:25:00.001+08:00

A month ago before I went the States, I participated in the SilkBath Skin Challenge. When I went down for the 5-hour skin challenge, I have no idea that it was hosted by the people from 100.3FM. And so it came as a surprise when I arrived at the venue, but I'm pretty happy to see some familiar faces again. More pictures of later. :) I really need to learn better make-up skills and put

Forex Trading With GK Goh

2011-11-03T01:12:00.000+08:00

After weeks of self-reminders to trade online, I hereby conclude that forex trading is one investment which requires lots of attention and discipline. Before we started trading currencies, we all attended a quick crash course on a Saturday morning, presented by Binni Ong from TerraSeeds Market Technician. This workshop was crucial in understanding the basic concepts of trading

tumblr Challenge Day 12 - 5 Guys Whom I Find Attractive

2011-10-28T14:22:00.000+08:00

Oh, this list is so easy to come up with! What's difficult is who not to include! There are so many more men I find attractive... *goes into daydreaming* In my order of preference: 1) Jerry Yan He is such a heartthrob!!! I first knew about him in his big break in Meteor Garden, where back in those days Sis and I would stay up for the drama marathon. I tried to dislike him for being the

tumblr Challenge Day 11 - My Family

2011-10-27T23:55:00.000+08:00

I grew up in a Mandarin-speaking family of four including my parents and an elder sister. My paternal grandparents have both passed away, while my maternal grandparents are living together with my uncle and his family. Father, "Pa" He's 10 years older than my mom, and enjoys photography, reading the papers, watching Chinese news and documentaries. While he doesn't speak English

HARAJUKU Street Style Launch 2011

2011-10-27T22:56:00.000+08:00

Blogging, to me, is fueled by two things - the drive and the topic I want to document. Unfortunately, I’ve been lacking in the former but definitely not in the latter. I have at least five events that I’ve attended in the past 6 months (yes, I’m that unmotivated this year, sobs) that I want to share, but I have been procrastinating much. But here’s one for today! HARAJUKU Street Style 2011

Here goes: 双冠军 - 容祖儿 Give Me One Reason - Tracy Chapman I'd Lie - Taylor Swift Happiness Is a Warm Gun - The Beatles Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley Lips of an Angel (Acoustic) - Hinder I Run To You - Lady Antebellum Fillip - Muse Two Towns from Me - Blind Pilot Complete - SNSD

tumblr Challenge Day 9 - How Important Is Education?

2011-10-11T17:30:00.000+08:00

Somehow, I feel that the majority of Singaporeans got lost in the paper chase. Living here, I do think that education is very important, even more so if you intend to work in the public sector. Government agencies tend to grade you based on which schools you went to, and how well you did there. And this is not a generalization, it's a fact. Observable, measurable (in terms of your salary)

tumblr Challenge Day 8 - What I Ate Today

2011-10-10T22:38:00.002+08:00

Breakfast: Honey chicken bun + Meiji chocolate milk from 7-11. Lunch: Tomyum U-Mian + Teh Si Dinner: Rice with 2 veggies, 1 meat + Koi Green Tea Macchiato Well, and gonna need lots of water and flu medicine too!

tumblr Challenge Day 7 - My 5 Pet Peeves

2011-10-09T23:06:00.000+08:00

In random order, here are five of my pet peeves: 1) The direction of the toilet paper placed over, like this: I just like having toilet paper rolling out under, like this instead: No explanation for this, but it annoys me when I see a fresh roll of toilet paper placed in the 'wrong' direction and I'll take it out, turn it around, and shove it back into the holder. Heh. 2) People who

tumblr Challenge Day 6 - My Views On Mainstream Music

2011-10-08T20:46:00.000+08:00

When I refer a song as "mainstream music", I'm referring to popular songs I'll hear on 98.7FM and in clubs, like those that have similar tunes and beats that goes mm tsk mm tsk throughout the song. The BF and I always like to replace a song with another song's lyrics, and it actually fits! I have to comment on Demi Lovato's Skyscraper, it sounds almost the same as James Morrison & Nelly

tumblr Challenge Day 5 - Things I Want To Say To An Ex

2011-10-07T23:28:00.000+08:00

Hmmm. Toughie. I never understood what caused that change in you some 4-5 years ago which triggered the end of the relationship. There wasn't any clear explanation for what happened, and what followed (until this date). I didn't like what I found out from her blog, and the tone she/you took with me. It definitely wasn't the best way to deal with our situation then, but I guess we both learned

tumblr Challenge Day 4 - Bullet My Whole Day

2011-10-07T02:07:00.001+08:00

Waking up at 6 by the BF and multiple alarms, then prepared for school. Took the earliest 74E and dozed off in the freezing bus, but by 8.11am I was still stuck in the highway. Late for 3 minutes, marked absent. Missed a couple of slides, project presentation. Decided to skip ours because ours was far too different from others. We mistook the assignment based on the instructions given. Stayed

Day 3: tumblr Challenge - A Book I Love

2011-10-05T22:14:00.003+08:00

There is a series of books I enjoyed reading thoroughly. Among the seven books, I liked the first one best. That's the Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. I remember how I used to dislike reading, even more so when it's an English novel, but when I was in Secondary 1, I figured that I have to at least finish reading ONE book {yes I'm a slow learner, sob}. One day, I saw a book with a

Real Steel, Real Good

2011-10-05T21:32:00.000+08:00

Hahaha, very cheesy title I know, still love it! :D The latest movie from Disney, REAL STEEL, will be out tomorrow in theatres, 6 October 2011, here in Singapore! I caught the premiere last week and we were both very impressed with the graphics. {Spoiler alert!} The plot was a little predictable, but still very much enjoyable overall. Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton,

Day 2: tumblr Challenge - Something I Feel Strongly About

2011-10-04T23:46:00.002+08:00

Today's challenge requires me to write about something I feel strongly about. This is going to be a short entry because I am so swamped with work but I do really want to complete this challenge properly! So. I'm not so much of an activist, such as being strongly against banning the consumption of sharks' fins (seems to the big controversy online these days). Don't get me wrong, after knowing

Tumblr: The 30-day Challenge - 5 Ways To Win My Heart

2011-10-03T18:29:00.003+08:00

While surfing tumblr (yes I'm on it too! :3), something got my blogging engine going: It is pretty old, but I'm still gonna give it a shot anyway. For fun! Heh. Starting with challenge one: 5 Ways To Win My Heart 1) Adopt the preppy look, a la the British style Think checkered shirts, fitting pants, neat side-swept short hair... that makes a guy look clean and smart. By clean, I mean the

You're hungry and the smell of the famous McDonald's fries wafted out from your nearby outlet. Drive-thru is even available lateeeee in the night because it's 24/7! May I take your order, sir? McDonald's is my favorite fast food restaurant, what's yours? Two Saturdays ago, I attended McDonald's Open Doors 2011. It's the first time I've ever heard of one, but apparently this

Little Kitty Things

2011-09-19T23:05:00.001+08:00

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but for the past year, I've come to grow an interest in all things Hello Kitty. Quite unlike the true fans, I don't need everything Kitti-fied. Occasionally when I chanced upon any shop that sells anything with Hello Kitty on it, I tend loiter there a little longer. Hehe. On the 5th floor of Haneda airport lies a cute Tokyo Pop Town and the shops on
