It is a shopaholic's heaven!<br /><br />Second day's lunch was at Once Upon a Time, which is just opposite platinum mall - 32 Soi Petchaburi 17, Pratunam. Saw some good reviews online but we were rather disappointed with the food :( <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/963.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_963.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Deco was pretty cool though<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/964.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_964.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/965.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_965.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/966.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_966.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />We were the first customer for lunch & in fact they turned on the air con & lights specially for us.<br /><br />We ordered the tom yam soup, omelette, basil pork & phad thai to share. Sadly none of these left a deep impression on us!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/967.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_967.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/968.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_968.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/969.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_969.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/970.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_970.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/971.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_971.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/973.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_973.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />The money box was quite pretty though! <br /><br />Shopped the afternoon away & i bought a total of 8 tops, 2 dresses, 1 jacket, 1 shorts & 1 skirt before pulling myself away from platinum mall. <br /><br />Excitedly changed into my new clothes in the hotel & the boy was so kind to help me take pictures of them haha<br /><br />Made our way to silom night market & just opposite it, i had the nicest ever wanton mee!! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/974.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_974.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/975.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_975.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />It was from a random roadside stall but i have nv tasted wanton mee that tasted so good. Btw i had frens who expressed surprise that i ate from roadside stall. I m not so gu niang can.<br /><br />The portion was so small so we continued to hunt ard for more food. Chanced upon grilled fish from a seafood restaurant. Won't say it is fantastic but think it is quite value for money.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/976.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_976.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/07/977.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/07/s_977.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />And i must say the boy is so sweet!!

Did lots of shopping & ate tonnes of food. The hotel which the boy booked for us was splendid! Love it so much! More on that later.<br /><br />We arrived at bangkok at about 11am and we took the train from the airport to phaya thai station. After that, we hailed a cab to our hotel - muse hotel bangkok which is at lang suan area.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/100.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_100.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Our beautiful hotel is none other than the boutique hotel - Muse bangkok.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/101.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_101.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Our welcome drinks upon arrival- tasted so good & refreshing!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/102.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_102.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/103.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_103.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/104.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_104.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />While the boy was checking in, i took pics ard the recep area :) <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/105.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_105.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Our room - they thought we were on our honeymoon n has prepared a pair of swans for us lol<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/106.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_106.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/107.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_107.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />The spacious room with the see through toilet.

Our first stop was Som Tam at Siam. When we were asking for directions to the restaurant, 1 man guessed that we were going to som tam just by hearing the road name. I guess this is how popular it is. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/114.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_114.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/115.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_115.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/116.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_116.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />There was a crazy crowd when we reached but thankfully the q moved quite fast. <br /><br />Som tam sells food hailing from the north eastern region of thailand & it is located at 392/14 Soi Siam Sq 5.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/117.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_117.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/118.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_118.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/119.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_119.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />We ordered the papaya salad, this spicy pork (very, very fiery) soup & fried chicken. Pls order these if u r there, you wont regret. I was nv a fan of fried chicken but the ones at som tam won me over. And the boy's verdict? Som tam is the best food he had in bangkok! Enough said. <br /><br />But be beware of the fiery chillies they used in the food. We finished 3 glasses of ice lemon tea when we were there. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/120.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_120.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />We spent the rest of the day shopping at Siam paragon, central world n visited Erawan Shrine. The boy got some of his clothes from Uniqlo central world while i got my lingerie from Iseran central world. While i was choosing my lingerie, the boy parked himself on the sofa at the department store & fell asleep! Lol!! <br /><br />Dinner was at T&K seafood at chinatown. The food is cheap & good. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/156.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_156.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />The morning glory is one of my fav dish as the vege is so fresh & tasty.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/157.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_157.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Be sure to order the grilled prawns too, it's only 100 baht!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/158.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_158.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Another of my fav- the prawn vermicelli, the vermicelli is soooo delicious.

Somehow, i haven had a v spicy tom yam goon yet :/ <br /><br />N since we were in chinatown, we stocked up on food to bring home! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/161.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_161.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/163.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_163.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />And of cuz we gotta have the sharksfins soup & birdnest ya? <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/164.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_164.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Had a lousy experience at Nam Sing bird nest shop :(<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/29/165.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/29/s_165.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Firstly the took real long to take our orders. And we didnt manage to get their attention despite much waving at them. The boy had to walk up to the counter to order it himself.<br /><br />Next i found feathers in my birdnest.

It was also my birthday that day & qt an eventful day.<br /><br />Rise & shine! We had our breakfast at Lemon Cafe at Dmall. The brunch is good n thry even had some nicely done coffee art. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1253.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1253.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />The interior is all yellow & green, like a lemon hee<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1254.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1254.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1255.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1255.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Had my usual eggs benedict, the portion was huge & i couldn't finish it!<br /><br />After breakfast, we met up with our tour guides- nino & mark who brought us to the 1st activity of the day. Helmet diving! We have a professional diving pulling us into the deep sea with our helmet on. I must say i was kinda petrified of going so deep into the waters, bout 4-5m. But once you get used to the depth of the waters, it is fine.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1256.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1256.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1257.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1257.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />This is how it looks like with more fishes swimming around us! It was fun n we got to feed the fishes. <br /><br />Next we took a boat trip to do the boy's fav activity- snorkling!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1313.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1313.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/18/1259.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/18/s_1259.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />We had lunch at a really run down hut n all the food tasted of butter & sugar.

Thanks for the wonderful gift! I am missing the island now. <br /><br />There is no direct flight from Singapore to Boracay, hence we took Jetstar to transit at Manila and took Airphilexpress to Caticlan from Manila. The journey does not end here as we took a ferry from Caticlan to Boracay and finally a trishaw from ferry terminal to our hotel. phew, we flew off from SG at 6am and reach the hotel at 3pm.<br />The lil plane we took during our transit flight..<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/03/3268.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/03/s_3268.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Our main form of transport ard boracay island<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/03/3269.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/03/s_3269.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I love the hotel that the bf has booked for us - District Boracay.

We bargained v hard with them & manage to pay 6200 pesos (abt $200) for island hopping, helmet diving, snorkling, parasailing & buggy driving. In the end we realised they only earned 10% of this n each week they only get 2-3 customers. Oh well.. Sigh.. Do look for them if u r there.. Nino's contact: 09196391375.

Yoga is my new craze and I am certainly enjoying my Bikram classes. <br />
<br />
Bikram is not only a form of yoga but it is also the name of a yoga guru who came up with the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. Each class is 90 mins and it is conducted in a 41 degree celcius room. Yes! 41 degrees! its is that hot! Usually by the 5th min, I am sweating like a pig and this is what I enjoy the most since I am detoxifying by sweating it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AR6bJT5Adc4/T4qnRegUsQI/AAAAAAAAARQ/zSolLUzHNK8/s1600/Bikram+yoga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251px" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AR6bJT5Adc4/T4qnRegUsQI/AAAAAAAAARQ/zSolLUzHNK8/s320/Bikram+yoga.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
I found a picture of the 26 poses and 2 breathing exercises above. Each pose is done twice and of cuz my poses are nowhere as nice as the above. :/ But Yoga is not always about getting to the position, as long as you r concentrating and mindful of your breathing and stretching, it's considered an accomplishment as well. It is said to improve posture, detoxify, lose/maintain weight and many atheletics practised yoga to prevent sports injuries. There also also mental health benefits as yoga improves your concentration and will power. yes, i so need to improve my will power.<br />
<br />
Personally I like the heated environment, this is prolly my fav part of bikram yoga and what sets it apart from other forms of yoga. Furthermore the heat helped me stretched better and I love sweating it out! Some people have commented that the 26 standard poses are boring as they prefer variety in their classes. However, I find it more disciplined by having standard poses and i can work to improve the poses each time I go for the class. <br />
<br />
The instructors at Bikram Yoga Harbourfront are mainly caucasians and they r such a frenly and energetic grp. For Bikram Yoga, the instructors usually stand on a podium in front of the class to give out instructions, so I find it v important that the instructors are clear and engaging. And this is the feel I have gotten so far from the instructors. so thumbs up to them!<br />
<br />
As for the changing room, it is abit small with only 2 hair dryers. It's not a major problem as each class is usually quite small so there aren't too many ladies fighting for the hair dryers. The size of the changing room is compensated by the use of organic & great smelling shampoo & fluffy towels! <br />
<br />
The main downside of Bikram Yoga will be the pricing as Bikram Yoga usually doesn't come cheap. Much as I like it, doubt I will be signing up with them as I am already a member of True Fitness & True Yoga. <br />
<br />
Guess I will be sleeping well tonight after the intense 90 mins class today.MsHliladventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194917831731606124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185523868920428345.post-63370501772343312402012-04-09T23:25:00.000+08:002012-04-09T23:25:42.917+08:00Good Friday Weekend Food- Hits & MissesHad so much good food this long weekend. But compensated it by going for 2 sessions of yoga- 1 hot and 1 bikram. I recently bought a voucher to Bikram Yoga @ Harbourfront thru groupon and I quite like the classes so far. Still not as flexible as I will like to be but I enjoy the concentration given to the each pose for that 90 mins. More on that later!<br />
<br />
On a side note, I finally received the package from TE..wheee, super love this! into animal prints these days!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--gmtqCRTgSc/T4L3h0pmHYI/AAAAAAAAAPw/fhz0dyfof4M/s1600/IMG_3772.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" nda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--gmtqCRTgSc/T4L3h0pmHYI/AAAAAAAAAPw/fhz0dyfof4M/s320/IMG_3772.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
Now off to the food!<br />
<br />
Visted Jcube with mummy and I must say I am pretty put off by the crowd. It's soooo crowded and all the dinner Qs were super long. However, I am happy to see Laneige and Itacho Sushi! We finally settled for this Italian restaurant (the q was the shortest) which was not really ready for business yet. 1) It only accepted cash as payment 2) 50% of the menu was not available. In the end I settled for the crab meat pasta which is so so. The redeeming point will be the good & prompt customer service.<br />
<br />

I found a korean restaurant which i really love- <strong>Togi Korean Restaurant</strong>. All thanks to Juliana for introducing this Korean eatery @ Mosque Street. We ordered the Kimchi Steamboat to share and this dish really satisfied the kimchi fans in us. Non Kimchi lovers may find the broth abit thick but its perfect for me. Will be bringing the boy along the next time as he is a kimchi lover like me. The slices of pork in the steamboat were really yummy as well. Gotta have it again!<br />

On Sat, the boy and I decided to stay at home, I watched The Iron Lady which he has helped to download while he watched soccer and did some work (slaps forehead). The boy's mum cooked a good dinner for us and we ordered the parma ham with rock melon from Etna Italian Restaurant to top up the meal. It was a tad disappointing as the rock melon was abit hard and the smell of the ham was too strong. It looks good but didn't really live up to my expectations. However, it was really chillax to enjoy a glass of white wine with good home movie. =)<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">After I came home, i found the March Vanity Trove package sitting on my table. Was so excited to open it as this month's trove is about whitening, which is one of my obsession.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I was even happier when I realised that the March Trove contains samples from Astalift. I first saw this brand at centrepoint and was introduced to the Jelly Aquarysta by the SA. Jelly Aquarysta contains ceramide which is extremely beneficial for dry skin as it has moisture retention ability. It is the brand's best seller and was voted the No 1 Serum in 2011. However, I came out of the shop empty handed as the jelly costs $148. So I was really delighted when I saw a sample of this in March Trove.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

So I was very keen to find a clay mask that is able to clean my pores.<br />
<br />
Extracted from Kiehl's website:<br />
<em><span style="color: blue;">Our Rare Earth masque helps purify and detoxify skin while minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores. Formulated with Amazonian White Clay to gently draw out oil, dirt and toxins that can clog pores. The addition of Oatmeal and Aloe Vera will help soothe, hydrate and protect sensitive skin.</span></em><br />
<br />
My verdict?<br />
<br />
Scent: While many reviewers have mentioned that they do not like scent of the mask, I am quite the opposite as I like the smell of oatmeal in my mask. Feels wholesome!<br />
<br />
Application: Just apply a thin layer, leave it on for 10 mins and wash it off with warm water. I felt a slight tingling after I applied the mask. While other reviewers have complained about the burning sensation, I felt the tingling feel was bearable and in fact I am quite happy with it as i feel it is the mask doing its work. For that 10 mins, my skin did felt abit tight though.<br />
<br />
Aftermath: The mask is easy to wash off and I am happy to say my skin did not feel dry after using the clay mask. And my complexion became noticebly fairer! I dunno if I am imagining things but I think that the whiteheads on my chin seem less protruding and the area around the chin felt smoother. <br />
<br />
So all in all, I am a happy user. I think a fairer verdict will be after all my blackheads are extracted after a facial and I can monitor how the regular application of this mask will clear the clogged pores and prevent the mushrooming of more blackheads/whiteheads. Am so going to get this mask, it's retailing at $45 and is rather friendly on the pocket.MsHliladventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194917831731606124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185523868920428345.post-63151493886279335222012-03-09T12:12:00.000+08:002012-03-09T12:12:26.631+08:00Online haulsI just ordered the following items from Love Bonita.

On sat morning, I met Juju, Ruby & BC for brunch at Wild Honey, Scotts Square. I prefer this to the one at mandarin gallery as it is alot more spacious. As usual, I had the Tunisian Breakfast set with a cup of Mocha while the rest had the english breakfast set. I think I haven met Ruby & BC for years, we should meet up more often for brunch since we like brunches!<br />

After which, I headed to wild wild wet with E's family and the boy. I like the way the boy takes care of baby emily! *proud grins* and the princess is so cute, as I am typing this, I am missing her already. She's really fun and notti now, such a adorable lil ms KPO. Like me, she adores hello kitty keke. BUT she calls the boy "gor gor" and calls me "tata" (Auntie in french). so unfair! hahaha<br />

A while ago, I received the Mekhala Black Rice Shampoo & Conditioner in the Feb Vanity Trove Pack. I have given it a try!<br />
<br />
My hair concern is that my tresses have became v dry with the colouring that I did in early Jan. Furthermore, I find my hair dropping quite a lot recently, which is def a concern- reads thinning hair..*gasps! Some chemical shampoo r good at making your hair smooth but at the same time they make your hair thin faster too. Hence I was rather relieved that the Mekhala Black Rice Shampoo is au natural.<br />
<br />
So what exactly does it contain? Aloe Vera & Black Rice packed in the shampoo is stated to be full of antioxidents properties as well as vitamin E. It is said to maintain scalp health and promote hair growth. Supposed to improve blood circulation for healthy hair as well. sounds good.<br />
<br />
My verdict? Yeah, I experienced lesser hair drop after I used the shampoo. You know after some hair washes, you will find clumps of hairs on your hands? I got none of this when I was rinsing my hair. However, I am not too used to the scent of black rice on my hair as my hair smells like some chinese dessert! lol..<br />
<br />
As for the conditioner, sad to say it does nothing to my split ends. <br />
<br />
In conclusion, I may consider buying the shampoo which is retailing at $22 for a 250ml but not the conditioner. <a href="http://mekhalaliving.com/shop/select/regenerative-black-rice-shampoo">http://mekhalaliving.com/shop/select/regenerative-black-rice-shampoo</a>MsHliladventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14194917831731606124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185523868920428345.post-52052662364454033592012-02-29T15:47:00.000+08:002012-02-29T15:47:46.768+08:00Lives of OmissionCurrently watching..<br />

I went for a 1-to-1 class with an experienced designer and it costs me $35 for the 2 hrs lesson. Got some materials & did a card for the boy. Quite happy with the end results :)<br />

The boy's mum also invited me for her bday dinner at home. The boy & I got her a longchamp bag & mango cake from Jack's Place. Btw, Jack's Place Mango cake is quite nice, the mango taste is not too overpowering and the cake is soft enough and wont make u choke with diabetics. I like this salty egg crab that auntie bought but the boy and his dad arent fans of this. Not bad what..<br />

You know some yellow noodles taste abit bitter? You get none of this in your prawn mee as the noodles are soaked with the goodness of the prawn broth. And of cuz, the prawns are big, fresh and succulent.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Got it at Harris GWC closing down sale at a discount of 20%. wheee<br />
<br />
Quoted from Amazon.com<br />
<br />
<strong>"<span style="color: blue;">From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author, an inspiring story of life, love, and moving on. <br />
</span></strong><span style="color: blue;">Married and the father of a young daughter, John Bevan had finally found the traditional family he lacked as an orphaned child. But all that disappears when a fatal car accident steals away his wife-and the unborn child she carried.<br />
<br />
Filled with sorrow, John withdraws from life and love. He erects a small cross at the scene of his wife's accident and visits daily, grieving. Then one morning he encounters a young man kneeling before the cross, touching it up with white paint. John's conversations and travels with this mysterious man-known to him only as the Cross Gardener-will forever change his world."</span><br />
<br />
This is a slightly spiritual book which talks about our maker and how we are never alone even in our darkest hours. We were never meant to grieve alone in our losses. Death means going home to God and each incident in life is all part of God's grander plans. And in death, there will be someone at the end of the tunnel to bring you home. This book reminded me of a Christian book which my friend lent me. I stopped reading after chapter 5 of that book as i have too many question marks. I am not sure how are sudden losses of innocent lives or notorious crimes part of God's bigger plans. Take for eg, if a young girl was raped and became pregnant. How is that part of God's bigger plans? and if the victim decides to abort the foetus, is that also part of God's plans? If it is, should we not be discouraging abortion? Maybe someone can enlighten me? <br />
<br />
I think Karma, cause and consequences make more sense to me. So you can probably see I am not a v spiritual person and I do not feel much about the spiritual aspect of this book. Still it gives me a peaceful feeling reading this novel with a twisted ending. It is also comforting to think that there will be someone with you at the end of your journey.<br />
<br />
I think the more important message of this book is to treasure what you have in your life, instead of mopping over your losses. In the book, John lost his wife and son but still had his daughter. When he was grieving for his wife and son, he visited the death site everyday and neglected his beloved apple orchard and young daughter. As a result, harvest at the apple orchard was bad and he could not help his daughter who was also grieving over the loss of her mum and blaming herself for the accident. The daughter became withdrawn and stopped talking. It was only under the guidance and care of her grandparents that she started talking again. Her grandparents were also hurting over the loss of their only child but they dealt with the loss positively. The mourned but they remained focused on helping the son-in-law and granddaughter out of this rough patch.<br />
<br />
I think this is an important lesson to remember when the going gets tough - <br />
