Diamond Lash Fake Eyelash Application Workshop @ Bliss House

Karen told me about this fake eyelash application workshop and I got quite interested it in because it's hold at Bliss and plus I know nuts about fake eyelash lol! I've heard of that place quite sometime ago but I've never been there before and it's a really pretty place, what's more there's refreshment being served! So why not give it a try right? lol. 

We signed up for the 3-4:30pm slot but it was full so we took the 4.30pm-6pm slot. We signed up for this workshop 1 month prior to the actual day. Time just zoom pass and it's the workshop day. 

Bliss House is located at the 3rd level of Central shopping mall. 

The workshop is held at a private area separated from the restaurant crowd. There isn't any crowd on a Sunday afternoon so I guess this event won't hinder their restaurant operation that much. 

The previous session which is on-going. Those chairs are sooo prettyyyyyy.


Yummy light refreshment prepared by Bliss House :)

When the first session participants are done, we make our way to grab a seat.

We were asked to bring our own mascara and eyelinear. BUT I forgot to bring my eyelash curler -_-". Anyway, I borrowed the eyelash curler from Karen. Btw, I came home to realise I actually brought the wrong eyelinear out. Gosh! 

Thank god, we were told to only draw a thin eyelinear which will be suffice to prevent us from looking like panda, if not I guess the eyelinear I brought to the workshop will make me look chui. In fact, it already did even just by drawing a thin line but it somehow didn't look that bad la. 

Their mirror is quite horrible with a lot of finger prints by the previous participants. Not only my mirror, the one Karen's using also.

:) Before the start of the workshop.

I'm in floral today because I know Biss House is super gardeny (I don't think such word exist)! You'll be able to see it below :) 

The flow of the workshop are as follows:

1) Curl our eyelashes

2) Apply Mascara

3) Apply eyelinear 

4) Trim the top fake eyelash and put on top fake eyelash

5) Trim the bottom fake eyelash put on bottom fake eyelash

Other than a pure hands on session, Larry Yeo have also gave us lots of tips from curling eyelash, applying mascara, eyelinear and all the way till maintaining fake eyelash when it's not in use. He's really good and humorous :)

I think everyone looks good with fake eyelash on the top but when one put on bottom fake eyelash, I guess one will need time to adapt to the looks, it's really dramatic la! I manage to put in the fake eyelash for my right eye but failed at the left eye. The mirror is too low and you got to bend really down to 'aim' properly before sticking your fake eyelash.

Anyway. the eyelash they gave us to use looks really natural and of superb quality. :) We wanted to get the same eyelash we used during the workshop at a little booth they set up, but it was sold out. :( Guess I have to hunt it down at Watsons then. The eyelash glue that was used during the workshop is by Eyeamazing! It's good too but the Watsons at Jurong Point doesn't have much Eyeamazing products. Probably got to find it at bigger Watsons outlet or John Little.

We cam-whored with all the nice decoration at Bliss House after the workshop. The waiter was really kind and help us take photos at the various nice 'spots' in Bliss House lol.

There's a little bridge in their restaurant. So gardenyyyy! 

The small pumpkin carriage. so chio lor! 

A shot of me and all the pretty flowers :)

Because it's Sunday and I ususally will have dinner at home(family dinner), if not I would probably have dinner at this pretty place. They are having 1-for-1 main course for UOB credit card but sadly the promotion end today. :(  Their mains's price are quite pricey hence it's quite worth it during the 1-for-1 promotion. 

Close up photos of my eyes below:

As you can see the bottom eyelash is not really sticking properly lol! The top side are nicely stick but not the bottom. It's really not easy! And you can't help to think you yourself look very dramatic and weird. 

Alright, this view properly show even clearer the imperfection of my lower fake eyelash. 

The goodiebag given by them. The  $2 diamond lash voucher would come to good use soon :)

#OOTD! Check out my review of the Hollyhoque Bloomington Bustier Top here.

Long awaited meetup

A meet up with my darling girls like finally! We have not met ever since Kyler's full month celebration and Kyler is exactly 4 months on the day We meet up for dinner. Time really flies!

We're glad to meet up with the mother who had went back to work and she's seriously glowing. Esther smile so widely when she see us from far, seriously I can't tell she slept 2-3 hours every night. Probably too long never see us hence she's feeling happy too. :)

We accompanied her to Mother Care to get a new toy for Kyler before We settled down for some jap/korea cusine at Marina Link. 

If you're wondering where is Marina Link, it can be reached via the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre, from esplanade exchange all the way till Marina square. Marina Link is somewhere there. It took me awhile to find out the name of that place because Esplanade Xchange is just part of that long stretch of road!

Oh ya btw, Marina Square change a lot! They have completed renovation and there's many new restaurants there. Shall go there for dinner soon! :) Yup cityhall have been quite boring because of the renovation works at Suntec and Marina Square but now Marina Square is up and it's not really crowded. 

Anyway We just dine in at this little shop at Marina Link which sells food court type of jap/korea food. 

A Simple dinner affair :)

I'm glad to catch up with the girls and udpate each other about life or mainly We are busy interviewing Esther on how's motherhood lol! I guess baby Kyler will be appearing for my birthday celebration? :) Looking forward! Okay la even if he's not coming, as long there's the rest I'm good haha! I miss those good old days. 

Some group photos! It's been awhile :)

Review: Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream

I've been searching for a new night cream because my Vichy Bi-White Night Cream is almost finishing! I've contemplated for quite awhile before going out on a real hunt for a new night cream, that would actually meant I used my previous night cream till the very last bit. It doesn't mean that the product is damn good, but I'm just using it till it's finished and I do not wish to waste it. In fact, I'm not one who change my skincare products that often and only change it depending on my skin needs.

Though this blog post is not about SKII, but what really strikes me to get the Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream is due to the SKII Magic Ring test that I did around 2-3 weeks back.

I've signed up for the free SKII trial sample on SKII facebook which entitle me to a free SKII Magic Ring test! To think of it, I"m actually very curious what's the test about and how my skin would fare in the Magic Ring test.

The SKII Magic Ring test your skin for 5 areas, namely Texture, Firmness, Wrinkles, Spots, Radiance.

So what are the 5 areas about?

Texture Refinement - Skin texture conditions are analysed to determine smoothness, along with the pore’s total area scale by measuring concentric sebaceous gland on the cheek

Firmness Power - Skin firmness levels of the cheek skin, pore conditions and wrinkles of nasolabial folds -- better known as ‘laugh lines’ – are assessed. The Ageless Vector also provides further analysis of skin’s firmness and elasticity, based on the total amount of lines and angles of the skin in these three areas

Wrinkle Resilience - Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, where the thinnest and most sensitive area is, are measured based on total length to evaluate the level of skin wrinkles.

Spot Control - Spots and colour unevenness are analysed based on feature contrast and shape, before classification according to depth by spectrum constitution. Both visible spots seen by the eye as well as the hidden spots in the basal epidermal layer are picked up and calculated based on their total size.

Radiance Enhancement - Skin’s brilliance and brightness are evaluated by the reflection of the light upon skin’s surface and evenness in texture in terms of wrinkles, spots and dullness.

My results were not bad. I scored 70+% (the machine wrote my skin is the same as those of the 17-20s, I'm like really meh?? Then I  came home to google and realised most people have good results! -__-") for every areas except for Texture Refinement whereby I scored a 50+%.  The SKII counter girl told me to hydrate my skin more so as to improve the Texture Refinement of my skin.

Thanks to the SKII counter girl for her pointers to take care of my skin better though I sort of know my skin problem all along lol. She's really good and no hardselling, I went to the SKII Counter @ Tang at Shaw. The SKII essence is really good and I'm still considering whether to get the actual size of it but it's really expensive!

Laneige is well known for their hydration product so I guess getting my hydration cream from Laneige would be good. :)

I'm quite picky when comes to selecting night cream because I'm afraid it makes my face super oily even before my bedtime -_-". So I walked into Laneige at Jurong Point one fine day after work to enquire on the various type of hydration cream they have. Infact for hydration series they do not have night cream but the cream can be used for day or night.

I requested for a night cream that's not too thick because the experience I have with the Vichy Bi-White Night Cream is not really good. My face couldn't absorb it in and my face is oily before I sleep. The sales girl recommended me the Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream. They have the cream type which would be too thick for me hence I stick to the Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream. :)

Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream

The gel which looks like any normal gel. It has a very nice scent :) Brownie points for this cream. 

Took a little out to apply on my hand for better illustration. The gel cream is light, and transparent.

After 2-3 minutes, the gel is absorbed into my skin. I can instantly feel my right hand is smoother than my left hand and not so dry:)

I've been using the Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream for nearly a week, so far no any visible side effects like outbreak or allergy. I only used it once per day which is at night so I guess 1 bottle is able to last very long for me. 

Dinner @ 49 Seats

Few weeks ago, Derp and I went to 49 seats on a Friday night to have our dinner. The queue was really really horrifying long but thankfully I had called in to reserve the seats earlier on that week. Phew. When we left, there's a group of 18 people coming in! That would easily took up half of their restaurant place. 

We had initially wanted to go there during the national day period but because the restaurant were 50% reserve and they do not take in anymore reservation but requested us to walk in instead. I guess if you intend to go there during public holiday or weekends, just go ahead and make reservation! 

We promptly seated once we reach but that was after I cheong up to the counter to let them know we have reached. They were pretty short handed on a Friday evening. 

Their menu with the old school feeling. 

The interior deco of 49 seats. They do have outdoor seats too. 

We add on the soup + drinks to our main course and here's the mushroom soup. This is probably the first mushroom soup I've tasted thats not so mushroomy, if you get what I mean. The taste is really not that thick and a little blend. I actually prefer those thick mushroom soup though. 

Their service on a Friday night was quite slow but they have a TV to entertain everyone. It was showing X-Men!  

My main course came first and it took quite a long time before Derp's main course was here. 

Pan Fried Fish with Alskempi Sauce. 

If you are wondering where's the Alskempi Sauce, it's on the a seperate bowl above the picture. And if you asked me what's Alskempi Sauce, I would describe it as creamy seafood sauce with prawn and 'hum' inside. Super duper nice! But I do not recommend one to consume in large amount because it would be too salty! 

Happy me with my main course. 

Anyway I chose to have this because I'm can't really take tom yum that well hence I leave the tom yum pasta to Derp to try. 

I scope some of the Alskempi Sauce and place it on my fish to take this photo so everyone has a better understanding of what's Alskempi Sauce. It's quite highly rated and a must try when one goes to 49 Seats other than the tom yum pasta. :)

Here comes the lead of the night, Tom Yum Pasta! Trust me, when I first heard about this tom yum pasta from my colleague, I went like HUH?! lol. And I know I've to bring Derp to try this because he's a spicy food lover. He was sweating when he finished the whole plate of it.

I had one mouth of it and I totally can't take it because it's too spicy for my liking. It's really the traditional thai tom yum type of taste. Tom yum lover would really love this.

Happy 21st Birthday Kris! :)

I was invited to Kris's 21st birthday at Punggol CC. Okay it's kind of funny because Punggol CC is located in Hougang. -_-". If you are wondering what kind of place is it to hold a party, I'll write more about it later. But first I'm going to comment on this present I bought for her. 

She's a fan of Victoria's Secret. Just as I was waiting for Derp on one of our Friday date night, I went in to Victoria's Secret and they are having some promotion I knew she love all this stuff especially those bath set which comes with a bag. There were only 3 scents and it weren't difficult to choose a scent for her because I know her too well :) 

Anyway, I requested the present to be wrap up. It's not my first time getting something from there because my everyday perfume is by Victoria Secret, but of cause I did not request to wrap it up the other time since it's for my personal use. I was expecting the traditional way of wrapping gift but they did it in a different way. 

Everything was in this plastic bag and they filled up the top part with all the chio papers and sprayed some body mist :) It does looks good and the effort is there but I just feel -_-". I ended up re-wrapping it again though.

I mean seriously, what kind of wrapping is this when you still can see what's inside ma. Nonetheless,  I believe they have some template/format to follow hence they wrap it this way. It's the effort to make it chio but not really wrapping it. 

Oh other than this Victoria's Secret bath set, I got her the rilakkuma 10th anniversary bag too :) She's a rilakkuma fan too :):) 

Back to the 21st birthday party, Punggol CC is about 5 minutes walk away from Hougang MRT. Kris didn't invite a lot of people because it's quite a close door event I would say. Mainlyher close relatives and her close friends. She booked the karaoke room which is definitely big enough for all of us. There were many sofa seats inside. Downside of the place is they do not let you bring your drinks in because you might spill on their carpet or other stuff.

She ordered her food from Stamford Catering, really taste not bad le! :) 

Oh and she prepared props and set up a DIY instant booth! lol! She's so creative la and she started doing all this signs the night before her birthday party lol! 

I took this from her facebook. So cute right? lol. 

My polaroid with her whereby guests would need to sign the guests book and she pasted this polaroid beside my message for keepsake purposes :) 

I didn't really stayed till too late because of the long journey home. After her cake cutting ceremony, I took photos with her before I make a move :) During the party, She introduced to me her still-studying NTU primary school friend so that I'm not so bored. I'm glad at least there's someone whom I can talk to at the party because all of them are freakingly young la! 

Since she have spare Polaroids film for me, We took photo again with her polaroid and I get to keep this :) 

From online Maplestory friend till real life friend who would go shop and eat together. Sometimes, I do find it amazing how we can keep in contact but I think it's possible whenever I see how far Derp and my relationship have gone to and will keep going! :) 

Last but not least, My#OOTD - MGP Looque Dress in Purple

Love the peek-a-boo back of the dress and do check out my review here!

Big Eater Restaurant 大食家海鲜 Zi Char, Tenppan-Yaki Express @ Jurong Point Kopitiam

Everytime I jogged to NTU, I would jog pass this Zi Char which looks really good because of the crowd there, so I suggest to Derp to have dinner there soon. He had actually tried it before with his friends. He told me that the food there was not bad. This Zi Char stall name is Big Eater Restaurant which is located at the coffee shop next to city harvest.

But anyway later on, we realised the crowd there was not due to the Zi Char, it's due to the aston express! lol. The cheaper version of aston and yet value for money. I've personally tried it at amk area, so yummy :)

Okay back to the zi char, we ordered the prawn paste chicken, baby kai lan and hotplate beancurd. The standard type of food that we'll always order whenever we go and have zi char. Call me boring or what but I think a zi char won't be a zi char without all this mandatory dishes.  

The prawn paste chicken and baby kailan. Don't you think the prawn paste chicken don't look like prawn paste chicken? I feel it should be some how redder and not so much flour. The veggies was so so and we didn't finish the chicken because it was not as nice as compared to the ones at Jalan Bahar Zi Char. Or should I say it's not the normal prawn paste chicken that we would expect. 

Spicy hotplate beancurd. I'm quite surprised when it arrived because I didn't know Derp ordered the spicy one instead of the normal type. The hotplate beancurd taste normal, nth special, the one at Jalan Bahar zi char used rectangle tou fu instead of the round type. I've always preferred the rectangle type of tou fu instead of the round type. They do taste different to me! 

After trying the zi char at Big Eater Restaurant, Derp and I actually preferred the Jalan Bahar Sheng Shiong Zi Char. Do read my reviews if you have not done so We even went back to Jalan Bahar just last week to satisfy our zi char craving because the zi char at Big Eater Restaurant was just not satisfying! Perhaps we have ordered the wrong dish because they seems to be famous for their crab rather than the mandatory zi char dishes. 

Okay next up, I'm going to introduce the food at the newly revamped Jurong Point Food Court, or should I say half of the food court was renovated and there's some new stalls appearing. One of which is the Play Kitchen which was opened by Ben Yeo. We originally wanted to try that but there were totally no seats at the food court! It's near 2pm and everyone is still having their lunch. I'll probably try really soon so stay tune if you are looking for review about it.

We chanced upon Teppan Yaki-Express which is located at the kopitiiam food court too. They have their own seats to themselves since it's a teppan yaki stall hence we decide to try it because it seems like the only food available at the food court. I'm lazy to walk elsewhere to have our late lunch plus we are rushing for time to catch a movie. 

The menu. 

They also give out the menu to us. They do have quite a variety of meat and also seafood. There's many others ordering the prawn or scallop set or the whole seafood combo. It does looks really good when I see the chef cooking it for them.

We hardly have Teppan-Yaki because Derp don't really like it. Everytime when I suggest to him, he will turned me down. -_-". But anyway this time he agreed to it. :) We sat down and started looking at the chef cooking our set for us. We ordered the sliced beef chilli set to share because We aren't really hungry. 

Anyway, they will asked you whether do you want chilli/less chilli/no chilli, so feel free to tell the chef whatever your preference is. 

All the set come with bean sprout and green veggies. I took the photo of this before the green veggies were served. They served one by one depending on which item the chef cooked first. I love the fact they give quite a generous portion for the meat + veggies. 

The whole dining experience was not bad because it's freshly cooked, oh there's people ta-baoing too. I would definitely go back there to try the teppan-yaki seafood soon! :) 

Downside of it is it's not cheap! It costs us nearly 10 bucks just for 1 set, the seafood range costs more than 10 bucks. Usually foodcourt food costs less than 5 dollars but this is nearly 10 bucks. Oh well, overall it's worth the try. 

So do remember to use your kopitiam card when you dine in there, it's part of kopitiam so you will get 10% off which is super worth it especially when the food is 10bucks or more! You can save more than $1 hehe.

The Conjuring, Elysium, Jobs, Internship

I have caught quite a number of movies lately, a total of 3 movies last weekend and 1 during the long weekend another movie!

I hardly have any relaxing weekends especially in the month of August but I'm so happy that last weekend Derp and I are totally free. No need to rush all over Singapore to get things done. And that would mean we can just chill around and watch some movies be it watching at home or outside.

We caught The Conjuring, Elysium, Jobs and Internship just over the past 2 weekends.

Just some short reviews on theses various movies below:

1) The Conjuring

Seriously, just the poster itself sends a shiver down my spine.

I must admit I'm never a fan of all these horror shows because I think it's dumb to spend money to scare myself. Thank goodness I watch The Conjuring at home though I think the whole experience would be better if we were to go to a cinema.

It's been awhile since I watch a not-bad horror movie, the standard of the movie was good and the story line isn't lame at all. I'm amazed by the movie because it's a real life story! Some of them are still alive now and there's interviews on the web. Do google it if you're interested :)


 
2) Elysium 

Sci-fi movies have been my second favourite genre of movie to catch in the theatre. My favourite genre is defintely action pack movies like iron man, avengers, gi joe, wolverine, okay in short all sorts of action pack movies.

The movie, Elysium, potrays the mega difference between the wealthy and poor really well. You got to be really god damn rich to buy the ticket to go Elysium and be a citizen there, a place whereby healthcare facilities are super amazing. Actually I'm quite -_-" by the bed which heal every single illness you have on your body for example leukemia. Is that even possible? Okay sci-fi movies, anything is possible. I got to bear that in mind.

The show is NC 16, so do expect many gore scenes and spoiler alert, Matt Famon never dies until the very end. After going through shit and many injuries on his body, he survived till the very end.




3) Jobs

When I first know that Ashton Kutcher would be acting as Steve Jobs in the Jobs movie, I went like "HUH??!". My image of him stay put when he acted as that hot guy in No Strings Attached with Mila Kunis. He have always been my cup of tea to be frank. I've really have no idea why until I watched Jobs.

After watching the whole show, I just want to say they have found the correct person to act as Steve Jobs la! Aston Kutcher really look like the young Steve Jobs, at least 90% alike. Gosh!

Putting that aside, it's a inspirational movie to show the early life of Steve Jobs, it's not really a funny movie like Social Network Even though I already somewhat know what's Steve Jobs life was like when he's young and how he have made it so far, this movie probably makes one understand him more as a person rather than text, and that would be all the Wikipedia content about him.

I think Ashton Kutcher did a not-bad job imitating Steve Jobs actions like the way he speak and the way he walk. :)

4) Internship

My favourite movie among all the others I've watched lately. Though I don't know why the version I've watched is without the rubik cube competition part, a bit sad though but it's a good movie!

Okay la, maybe I'm a software engineer and I can totally relate to this movie like whatever terms they use and I go ga-ga over Google company. They have free drinks and free food at their cafeteria, they have this energy pod whereby staffs can take a power nap there, they have slides everywhere, yes slides like those in playground type whereby you can just zoom down from level 2 to level 1 in an instance. So freaking nice la!

Okok best part, I love their hats. Yes the hats they wore on their first day.

So freaking cute :):)

Anyway the main point of this movie is to tell you, you do not need to be the smartest or whatsoever to get into their company because the 2 joker salesman made it into google company in the end lol. You just got to be different and team work is very important.

I've always write Google as my ideal place to work in whenever I was asked to write down for some test or what, this movie has reaffirmed that Google is still my ideal place to work in! :)



That's all for my movie reviews and I'm just sharing my two cents worth of thoughts. :)
