"Thank you so much for introducing"

"Thank you so much i grabbed so many items!!!"

"Thank you so much i had such a great time"

I've heard really good feedback from customers who went for E.X.U buffet.

And i really have to give it to them, becox the last buffet they held was their first buffet!!! And yet it's all good feedbacks, nobody gave customers attitude just cox it's was crowded, everyone was happy.

Bestest part? BAG IS BIG. Lotsa clothes can fit in. Lol.

Cult Nails Hypnotic Collection

Curious about Cult Nails Hypnotic collection?


Check them out on the The Daily Nail: Reviews!

QWeekly - Randomest stuff

Went to Hair Cuttour to touch up my roots! And do this hair SPA treatment that i SO LOVE!


It's a SPA treatment for our hair (and it smells so freaking goooood!!!) instead of the conventional 'hair treatment' some hair salons might throw in for you as FREE, when you do colouring and rebonding. They'd say "FREE HAIR TREATMENT" but it always go down two ways.


1) They give you the HAIR TREATMENT after they shampoo your hair. And they massage it in, and there you have, HAIR TREATMENT. Lol. Just like how we might use our own hair mask, conditioner at home OR,


2) After applying the HAIR TREATMENT on your hair, they steam it for 10 - 15 minutes. There you have, hair treatment.


BUT THIS ONE IS TRULY DIFFERENT!!!


It's a FOUR-STEP hair treatment!!!


First we 'detox'. This special step is not just shampooing. It draws out the impurities from our  hair cells, the unhealthy impurities that keeps us from having bouncy, healthy-looking hair.


After washing our hair, if we spread it, our hair tend to tangle up in web-form like this. This is becox there are dead cells on our hair. Damaged, uneven, rough and these are the causes of why our hair will tangle up in a mess.


So here comes STEP TWO! The 'exfoliating' mask.



Don't worry it's not gonna make your hair strands thinner becox


1) Look at the specks, it's SO FINE please. So all it does is to remove dead hair cells and give you the NATURE feel. As the product stated. You know, like you're at the beach? O.O Lol.


2) You don't do this everyday!!! The effect is pretty lasting so i suggest you do it once a month in a salon.


Step three, pump in the goodness!!! =DDD Having rich treatment slapped all over your hair and steaming it in. Hi, i'm Megamind lol.


AND TADAH~ After your hair dries, it's like this. Then comes the fourth step, locking it in and adding the gloss and SMELLING GOOD! It's a sprayed-on serum that locks the goodness in your hair AND it works like hair-perfume. Smells like the ocean, refreshing!


My silky-smooth hair! And please notice my hair colour!!! I asked for some layer-colouring! Hahaha!! Okay lah, i didn't really ask but i say i don't want boring brown, so they suggested this colouring technique ^.^ It's like outer part of my hair is darker but the inner part is brighter. Loving it.

One thing to note, This Hair SPA Treatment is:
100% FREE OF PARABEN
100% FREE OF SILICON
100% FREE OF SULFATE

So there's no chemical that'd damage your hair, no material that'd give your hair instant positive effect but harm it in the long run.

Cosmoprof 2011 - CND Shellac

Curious how Shellac fared with the horrific stress I put on my nails?


Check out the results at The Daily Nail: Reviews!

Reverse Rockabilly

Have you ever had one of those ideas that you have to do, even though you have almost no time, and in that time, you should probably be doing something else?  I had one of those today. It, in a way, is kind of a throwback to one of my designs I did for Cosmoprof 2010 (yes, last year's Cosmoprof!) The design was called Between a Rockabilly and a Hard Place, and it was a leopard print nail with a red moon. Today, for some reason, it struck me to try the reverse of that design. In my mind, it was something that was a tad more subtle than the full-on leopard print, perhaps even a tad more office-friendly?  In any event, it was awesome in my head, and pretty much the only way I'll wear red. I have to admit, I love it. I keep looking at my hands. lol  I hope you like it too!! I also got to use Zoya Carmen, which I got to try at Cosmoprof this year! It's a really great true red. Very fiery and retro.



I used Zoya Carmen as a base, with American Apparel California Trooper for the moon. For the leopard pattern, I used OPI San Tan-tonio for the tan blobs, and American Apparel Raccoon for the darker brown. Topped everything off with Nubar Diamont top coat,  which I was given as a free gift with purchase at IBS 2011.

Are you ever so excited to try a nail design that you drop everything and do it?

Genting - My first time!!!!

Headed up Genting a short while ago and it was SO ENJOYABLE!!! Genting is like this majorly big paradise where you can do almost everything. Hmm.. Maybe not true. There's not enough time to do everything actually, cox there's SO MANY things to do there!!!


Went on a coach ride with WTS. When we talk about comfortable leg-space.. We use our legs to measure. Lol.


Me with no makeup but can't i stop myself from saying "not bad leh" Lolol. Really! Not bad right? Maybe in the morning everyone looks refreshed #notshy


The ride was really smooth =DDD I super appreciate this becox i always tend to fall asleep!!! And then we stop for a little bit at Yong Peng for toilet break and for us to grab a bite.


The lady from WTS super funny one. We reach every stop, she will do "Kukoo~ Kukoo~" My bf and i keep laughing about this. Hahaha. For the next few days we kept on going "Kukoo~ Kukoo~" at each other. Lol.

I start with dessert as usual.


OMG LOVE THIS!!! Inside got chewy sponge cake and all these chocolate liquid thingy! And the whip cream is SO LIGHT and heavenly *faint*


Took a picture of this (which is my second serving of it lolol) and continue eating like a pig without snapping pictures. They serve international cuisine from Japanese to Chinese to Western to Indian to Malay to nyonya dishes. And of course Malaysia's local delight! LOVE THEIR PENANG LAKSA!!!!!!!

After lunch..

At "Ripley's Believe it or not" ^.^


The super beautiful ride!!! It brings us around first world plaza and we could see the indoor theme park at a best view. Cox it's high up on third or fourth story high.


While Q-ing for bumper car ride. Later I got 'bumped' so many time i quite pissed #pettyghost so i told my bf to bump the few people who kept bumping me. Lolol.



Went to the outdoor theme park!!! =DDDD Where they have lotsa stores that sells accessories / bags/ souvenirs/ provide temporary air brush tattoos. COOL much!!!


At one of the most friendly ride. Lol. I super hum one leh =(


Erm.. Yes, i got another baskin robbins from the outdoor theme park.


After the dinosaur ride (which i took pictures but it turned out very dark so no pictures for you all to see lol) we went for archery. The above picture is actually me letting go of the bow and hitting my face with my hand =.=" Should have listened to the dude who asked me to place my hand AT my face before letting go of the bow.



Left side is mine.. Right is is my bf's. If you're wondering why my scoreboard looks so much more sparse. It's simply becox..



I got bored of shooting my own score board and i tried to shoot the board beside me, and the floor and everywhere else except my own board. THIS IS NOT A LIE *defensive* #soreloser Girls are never meant to shoot anything anyway *flicks hair* Lolol.



Trying out the carnival games at the outdoor park. I THOUGHT i'd nail this cox the pail to throw the ball in is FREAKING DAMN BIG and it's so NEAR!!!!!!!! But the catch is.. The ball bounces =.= And if it bounces out, no count. So i manage to nail ZERO out of six =(((( The dude say the trick is to toss it gently and not throw. But i didn't get it obviously. Lol. Bf got 3 out of 6 thou. But no prize for that. Lol.



Back to the indoor theme park and i got on the boat ride =DDD


Love how elaborate Genting is. And how much effort is put into making this place a place where you look around, and you can never get sick of it. There's just SO many things to look at!!!


If you guys like to gather and chit chat, there's a MEGA big Starbucks at first world plaza =D Perfect for chilling out!



Head back hotel to change and eat strawberries lol. Cox it's 5pm and dinner time is 5.30pm! We are torn between Genting palace (chinese food) or The Olive (fine dining). And we went with fine dining becox i've NEVER EVER TRIED fine dining before O.O Lolol.


Amuse bouche. When the server came with it i was going "Whaaaat?" in my head lol. So my bf explain to me in  the long-winded way what is it and why they serve that. TOO LONG NEVER LISTEN. Lolol. Kidding lah, i really super happy he went Genting with me ^.^



Hi, i'm going to eat the first amuse bouche ever ever ever in my life. Lol.


IT WAS SO FREAKING YUMMY I SWEAR TO THE AMUSEBOUCHE-GOD!!!


Even drinking water also special. I'm super taken aback by the extra things in fine dining!!!


Our basket of bread. I'm sorry i'm gonna show you everything in individual pictures becox everything is just too overwhelming for me a collage won't do. Lol.


Mushroom soup with truffle foam *faints* It's SO YUMMY. WHYYYYYy... How am i gonna survive with campbell in the future..



Bf's escargot dish. I took all his garlic and herbs bread thou. Lol.


My pan-seared foie gras with some duck i forgot. BOTH YUMMY DAO YAO SI. Especially the foie gras going with the three dots of sauce you see in the plate. It's madness. Even the paper thin pastry is super delicious!!!


Most. Succulent. Fish ever. Super yums!!! With the skin crispy *faints again and again and again* The mixed mushroom at the back also very yums!!!



Bf's wagyu steak.


My tortellini!!! HOW DO I DESCRIBE IT?! It's so freaking creamy and yet light at the same time!!! Not jelat one!!! And i love the filling!!!! @.@ I'm totally bedazzled by all the food. It's like if they give me at least one dish that's not so yummy, i'd feel like it's more 'humanly'? They send dish after dish of yummy-to-the-max food, i don't know how to do this anymore!!!


My scallop and crab meat capellini. PLEASE JUST SEND ME ONE NOW. Please. My ride up is 6 hours. I DESERVE TWO YUMMY CAPELLINI LIKE THIS in my life!!!



While my bf is away for a short while, i camwhore O.O I at least need one picture of myself dining in a fine dining restaurant, right or not? Lol.

There's a lemon sorbet which i forgot to snap picture of becox the below dessert came right after the lemon sorbet and then the sorbet got neglected. Lol.

Even the dessert is madness. Inside the tube-cylinder is actually chocolate mousse. Pair it with the ice-cream.. Perfect!!!


*PULLS HAIR* This truffle is the yummiest ever!!!! I thought Royce was the best. This one is chewy and melty and not too bitter not too sweet!!! I MAJOR LOVE IT X 10000 times. i even asked the staff if they sell this in boxes =.="


Hi, i'm a 24 yro who's been to fine-dining before. Kthxbai. Lolol.


Went home to pack and these are some of the things i got! The baby clothes are for Yurou! I got it from baby Poney ^.^ And also i got my FIRST issue of Vivi! Lolol. I never buy Vivi becox i super chepaskate one, always borrow from people. Lolol.


DAY3
Buffet breakfast at Coffee Terrace! I took these round after round becox i'm a angmoh breakfast person. Lol. Bf went for wanton noodle, dim sum, mee goreng, porridge etc.


Love both the lunch and breakfast buffet at Coffee Terrace!!! And it's super affordable!!! I forgot the exact price but we definitely paid less than SGD50 (for both pax together) for lunch and even lesser for breakfast.


Right after that we headed for The Bakery to chill out before heading back to pack our stuff.


My hot chocolate!!! So special one!!!


Tiramisu and mango something something cake!!! Both also nice!!! But i prefer the mango one cox it has this tangy sweetness.



Ahhh~ love it. Nice weather, cool breeze and hot chocolate =)))


While walking back to our hotel. Snap a picture of part of the outdoor theme park.


On a random note.. Take a look at this sign please.



For the first two days i was at Genting i keep seeing this sign along the corridor to our room. I think to myself "Wah.. So high-tech one" and i remember telling myself i must try it before i leave.


So now, it's the third day and while walking back to the room to pack.. This is what happened.


*me looking at the sign again*
*sudden realisation that i interpreted the sign wrongly for two whole days*
*disappointed and exclaim to bf..*


"CHEY!!! I still thought it's some machine where they dispense air!!!!"
"Like they suck the air and the cloud in, condense it and then make into water!!!"
"So actually "air" is AiEh which means water in Malay lah!!!"
"Omg so sad.. I still thought i can drink the cloud water for heng heng"


And yes, the whole time, my bf didn't respond to me. But it's fine. You gotta admit i have a good idea there. Suck the cloud and air in, condense them, dispense them as drinking water #mindofagenius #nobodyunderstandsme


All packed. Time to leave Genting.. =(



While waiting for our coach.



So we left genting and i gave so many of my first time to Genting!!! Haha! My first cable car ride, first movie in dialect (cantonese) in the theater, first fine-dining experience, first time buying Vivi. Lolol.


Genting would be a great place for family to hang out cox the kids will love it like mad, and the adults can enjoy (not just the casino lol) the more exciting rides and recreation as well!!!


If you prefer a more chillax trip you can go for spa, foot-reflexology, watch a performance at the pavilion, go for slow strolls in the cooling weather.


Young adults (like us lol) will super enjoy Genting becox there's stuff we all love!!! KTV, starbucks, ten thousands rides at the indoor and outdoor theme park.


Also there's super affordable movie, affordable food, 24hours Mary Brown and McDonald's haha. There's KFC and Pizza Hut too but i'm not sure if they are open 24hours.


Best part? Can camwhore a lot. Cox everything in Genting is SUPER drama and elaborated. Lol. And the strawberry farm!!! =DDD And can wear chio clothes in layers cox it's cold there in Genting!!! Haha ^.^


On the coach ride back.. We have the best coach. The seat back has massage function =O And there's games to play, movies to watch. There's movie channel for kids, a good selection of chinese movies, english movies etc.


The title of the movie i chose to watch is.......


"Oh wow you're so pretty" lololol.


Enjoying the massage seat back. This one has LOTSA leg space. And when you recline your seat it doesn't affect the person behind you. SHIOK. Lol. I got the tickets from WTS.



Didn't watch the TV until hours later becox i was reading the first Vivi magazine i bought. Lol.



I'm definitely going back to Genting!!! Maybe with friends / family the next time! ^.^ Missing the food at Coffee Terrace and more more more than that, food at The Olive =(( Miss the cooling weather also..
