Sending off 2020 and welcoming 2021

On the eve of New Year’s Eve, EC arranged a drinking session at the Grapevine Café Bar & Restaurant which is located at Guillemard Road. I like the vibes that the premises offered.

 



Apart from whiskey drinking, we also have pizza, satay and some bar bites such as spam fries, spring rolls, chicken nuggets, onion rings, French fries and fried chicken skin.

 

Thanks for company, as I enjoyed myself very much! More outings and gatherings soon please!



The Covid-19 travel restrictions that have been implemented for our safety has ruined many holiday plans for last year and perhaps even for the next 1-2 years.


Baby brought me to Jurong Lake Gardens’ Festival of Lights, and there were 28 large-scale lantern displays of country landmarks (‘It’s A Small World’) as well as lucky zodiac signs.



While we might not be able to travel for leisure yet, this exhibition helped me to travel around the world in essence! This ‘It’s A Small World’ themed display helped to ease my travel desires by featuring popular tourist attractions across the globe.



One of the Seven Wonders of the World - Taj Mahal from India.



France - Parisian landmarks such as Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame.



United Kingdom - famous sightseeing locations in London such as London Bridge, Big Ben and various Beefeaters.



Japan - familiar sights such as Mount Fuji, Shinkansen and Sumo Wrestlers.



Australia - Sydney’s opera house and adorable kangaroo and koalas.



What I like most is the display with a bamboo forest filled with adorable mask-wearing pandas which suit the theme of this exhibition- ‘A Better Tomorrow’.



I ended my visit at Jurong Lake Gardens with a photo of the last exhibit, a huge Dragon which no doubt ushered in the coming new year of 2021!




My first dinner of 2021 was a simple dinner at the Limau Thai Kitchen which is located at Woodlands Rise! It serves some of the best authentic Thai cuisines.

 

We waited almost 25 minutes for our Mama Thai Hotpot! This portion can be shared among 2-3 people and it cost SGD24. The hotpot is yummy and it worth the wait time!



I end my post with my Sunday Dim Sum Brunch with Baby and Mom Vi! This time we visited China Classic Restaurant which is located at Chinatown Point. The China Classic is a Cantonese Restaurant, and they offer traditional 'Push-Cart' dim sum. Exactly like how they are served in Hong Kong! Baby actually loves the traditional push-cart dim sum more as compared to those 'Ala carte' ordering style. The damage was pretty hefty, as we paid SGD70 for our meal.

 



My recommendations are Deep-fried Beancurd Roll, Pan-fried Radish Cake and Glutinous Rice.



Thanks for popping by my social media space. Cheers!

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, and I was

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. After using the COCOnCO First Essence , I did find it more hydrating and my skin is now less sensitive. My favorite way to use this is just as an essence after applying my toner, in order to ad

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.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
