Happy 2019!

On the last day of 2017, after much encouragement from Mum V and Baby, I plucked up my courage to get my ears pierced! Since then, I have become obsessed with earrings! Everyone who knows me now can attest that I have an immense fondness for earrings! During Christmas, I actually got more than 20 pairs of earrings!


Mum V got me a lot of cute earrings. Thanks Mum!


I love year-end shopping, as there are normally many shopping promotions and perks lined up for shoppers! I picked up a pair of ankle canvas shoes for 2019 from Rubi Shoes which was a collaboration with Disney. It only cost me SGD20!




This new year is the first 'New Year' we welcomed together as Husband and Wife, hence Baby brought me to a posh restaurant to celebrate our New Year Eve's dinner at Tung Lok XiHe Peking Duck restaurant which is located at Orchard Central.


  

We ordered a whole Peking Duck, and a '3 Treasure Spinach in Superior Stock' as an accompanying dish. I enjoyed the food very much, especially the Peking Duck. The damage was SGD113, and thanks Baby for being a pillar and a shoulder to cry on whenever I am in need of support or facing setbacks.



I look forward to more celebrations together for the coming years and I want to thank him for bringing me to various countries/cities in 2018 too. In 2018, I visited Fukuoka and other cities in the Kyushu Region in Japan during my birthday month. I also went to the United State of Americaon the east coast, whereby I visited New York and Washington for our honeymoon. We also had a short trip to Bangkok, Thailand for a short retreat from our hectic working schedules/environment. I love being with him as he has always placed me as a priority, put up with my bad temper, and has always taken care of my well being. I love you Baby-Hubby! Muaks


Happy 2019
  

Baby brought Mum V and I to Canton Paradise to have our brunch on the first day of 2019. They serve quality dim sum and Cantonese cuisine. We started off with Boat Style Congee, and I loved the consistency of the Cantonese styled Congee. It looked velvety smooth and had a silky texture. I savored every bit of it!

 

Chee Cheong Fun with Char Siew – Another dim sum staple. 

   

I love Braised Chicken Feet very much and this item has been listed under my MUST-ORDER item in any dim sum restaurant!






A dim sum brunch will never be complete without Siew Mai! They were nicely done, and we all enjoyed them very much! 



We were lucky to get a seat without any advance reservation, and the damage was SGD66! We overheard that the wait time was 40mins, when we were about to leave the premises. I personally prefer Canton Paradise to Crystal Jade, as the dim sum tasted way better and the damage was more affordable as compared to Crystal Jade


We missed out on our usual 'Modus Operandi' to end our night on New Year's Eve drinking at a bar, therefore we had a little 'Do-over' on New Year's Day itself. We settled at Starker Bistro which is located at HILLV2. We ordered a pint each, and also got a plate of deep fried fish fingers as a little snack. The damage was SGD55. We spent quality time at the Starker Bistro by sharing our plans in 2019 and of course, discussing on my upcoming birthday trip!




As we grow older, we find that NYE is not about just having a 'Countdown', but is more akin to having a reflection on what we have achieved and to start planning on goals for the new year.

Lastly, I end my NYE's OOTD at Orchard Central! May all my wishes come true! I wish for more collaboration opportunities, as well as an increment in salary from my company!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment,...

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment. Although there are many hair products to cleanse my scalp, it is better to head to a professional.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, an...

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening.
