Bellabox - Oct 2012

I love surprises! Especially if they are nice and sweet looking. If you are like me, read on to find out more about this surprise that I receive in my mailbox.

It's the Bellabox!

Bellabox will handpicked 5 exclusive beauty products from around the world and delivered it to your door each month. This means you will not know what products they will be delivered to you until you receive the mail.
Above is the official photo of the October Bellabox.

The box is pink in color. The favourite color of most girls in the world. My favourite color! Once you open the box...
There is a total of 5 products plus 1 mirrow from Bellabox.
Some close up photos of the products.
On the left is Nuex Face and Body Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel (200ml/$38). On the right is Nuxe Body 24hr Moisturizing Body Lotion (200ml/$38).

Nuex Huile Prodigieuses Multi-Usage Dry Oil (100ml/$68).

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution (100ml/$15.90).

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (40ml/$68).

I guess a lot of you will be asking this question now. How much does it cost? Well, I bought a deal voucher to test out this box. The voucher cost me $7.90 so it's really a great deal for me.

Without the deal, usually price is $19.95 per month or $219.45 for 13 months (about $16.88 per month). So is it worth it to get the box then? You can work out the maths and find out.

If you are interested to get a surprise every month and you don't mind trying out new products every now and then, I will say go ahead and get the box!

Honeymoon Dessert @ Vivo

After a hot day in Sentosa, icy cold dessert is the best solution in the world.

I have been wanting to try out the honeymoon dessert at vivo but it seem like there is forever a long q waiting outside. This time round, I am determine to find out why is there always a crowd there.

This is the durian pancake. The skin and filling is very soft. It's quite nice but not something I will q long timing for.



My favourite dessert of all time. Mango Pomelo & Sago Sweet Soup. It's totally not cold at all. I won't even call it a cold dessert. Will not go back and try this again if they are going to serve all their cold dessert at room temperature.

I can understand that they have a lot of customer. But a shop should never lower the quality of their food to compensate the quantity of customers. This does not help to attract return customers at all.


I can't remember the name of this dessert. It has kiwi, manago and glutinous rice ball contain in mango juice. This is actually much better than my dessert as they have throw in some ice cube into the manago juice, making the dessert slightly chill.


I have no idea how this shop manage to draw such a big crowd all this while if this is the kind of standard of food served. While, maybe it's just my luck but I doubt I will be going back there anytime soon.

BigBang Alive Concert 2012 in Singapore - 29 Sept 2012

Super excited for my first k-pop concert in my life!!!

The excitment started way back when the tickets was first released for sale for the 1st night concert. I still remember sitting in front of my computer, trying desperatly to get hold of the tickets on sistic website. Sad to say, I didn't make it. Tickets were all sold out within minutes.

Why am I writing this post if I didn't manage to get the tickets? The good news is they are adding an addition night on 29 Sept 2012.

The whole cycle started again on the next day, fighting for the tickets online. Well, I am just not good at these sort of things. But I am glad to say a friend of my friend manage to get hold of 7 tickets in the same row!!! Wow... Speechless...


Before the concert started, the crowd was already sitting eagerly outside the stadium hours before we can enter.

I had to q for almost an hour to get some of the official merchandise but I didn't manage to get anything as most of the things are already sold out. They should have informed us instead of making us q under the sun. :(


A big stand board for all the fans to take photo with. As usual, super long q and I do realise I don't have the time to q for this.


Decide to q for something that I think I will manage to get. Samsung is the official sponser of the concert and they have prepared a lot of freebies for the fans while trying to promote their stuff.


Tattoos on my both my hands. The black tattoo is more lasting than the yellow one. Please forgive my hairy hands. Hehe...



I didn't manage to take any photos since I am not in the standing pit and I am not really sitting that close to the stage. I doubt the photos will turn out nice so I might as well not try taking. Sorry about that... Anyway, I realise I am not able to enjoy myself to the max during a concert if I am trying to take photos. I will be busy trying to get the best angles and not really watching the show.

Concert photos posted below are all taken from 'Live Nation'.




I took a photo of the stage before the show started. This is my first time attending a concert that has a T-shaped stage. Quite refreshing.


This is another photo of the stage after lights are down and the audience have all turn on the lotus shaped torchlight. It's a sea of yellow. Impressed!


While there is language barrier, I can feel that Bigbang quite their very best to interact with us. And we show them our very best by screaming and jumping through the whole concert. It was a fun and enjoyable night.

Somehow, watching this concert has inspired me to re-take up korean lesson again. I do hope one of these days, I am able to understand what they are talking and singing about. Wish me luck!

Paradise Inn @ Changi Airport Terminal 1

I have never tried Paradise Inn before and my cousin assured me that the food is nice over there. Since we were looking for a place to have our dinner and Paradise Inn was just right in front of us, it is too hard for me to say no to it.


We actually ordered quite a lot for just two girls. Haha... Both of us are greedy pig. 3 dishes plus 1 soup. It didn't sound too much when we were deciding what to eat but we kind of regret it when the food was served. There goes my dieting plan again.


There was this gold kettle with our tea. Interesting and a very chinese style food. Well, we are eating chinese food here after all.


Got a picture of the deco in the restaurant. Something we can't find in a western restaurant.


First up is the vegetable. A chinese meal is never complete without some kind of vegetable dish. We had this 'Poached Chinese Spinach with Egg Trio in Superior Stock'. Something different from the usual kind of chinese vegetable dish. It is soupy in nature and we can actually drink the soup.


Next up is my favourite dish - Tofu. I have been advised by my doctor to reduce bean product intake but I can never say no to tofu. Hot Plate Tofu with Preserved Cai Xin and Minced Pork


Next is our soup. Delicious but I can't remember the name of it. Hehe... Sorry about it... I can't seem to find the menu of Paradise Inn online. If anyone knows where I can locate the menu, do let me know. Tks.



Last but not the least is the prawn salad. Yummy yummy. I love it when the prawns are shelled. Hehe... I am too lazy to shell my own prawn. Given me a choice, I rather don't eat the prawn then shell it myself.


Here we go, two more pictures of all our food again.

Fruit Tarlets

After receiving the baby shower gift from my friend, I became interested in the idea of baking my own fruit tartlets too.

Sometimes, we have to face the fact that having an interest does not equal to being an excellent baker. I chose the next best alternative to ensure that my fruit tartlets will be edible at the very least. I went to attend a baking class conducted by ITSI Baking Studio.

It turned out that fruit tartlets is not difficult to bake. My main difficulty is the decorating of the fruit tartlets with the limited resources that were given to us. Well, I do have to admit that I am also not a very creative person, maybe even a bit boring. I simply have not much idea on how to make my fruit tartlets look nice and attractive.


These are the fruit tartlets made by all the students in the class. They do look very nice right?


Finally! These are the fruit tartlets baked and decorated by me!!! I am sure they are not the best fruit tartlets you have come across in your life but do give me some encouragement since this is my first time. :p

Taste wise, I just find it so so only... Delifrance fruit tartlets is always the best. I guess if I am in the mood for fruit tartlets, I will not hesitate to just go there and get one to satisfy the craving. After all, a Delifrance outlet has just open up across my house. How convenient! Hehe...
