[Sponsored] Pretty with purple; My Amethystory
So recently, I've been sick.
Pretty bad condition too!
When you are sick, the last thing you will bother about is skincare.
True story, trust me.

I was feeling so stressed about my bad skin after I recovered because I had
fever & migraine so bad for 4 days that I didn't wash my face!
Was just lying on my bed in agony and .... Okay, I'm digressing.

In conclusion, I looked like crap.

So I thought, this is the perfect time to try out the new releases from
Amethystory!
Why called Amethystory?
That's because the products in this line all contains Amethyst.
Yes, that's the purple gem we are talking about!

Did you know that Amethyst can:
1. Healing properties [helps improve skin complexion & skin tone]
2. Produces small, detectable magnetic field & emits beneficial far infrared 
radiation and negative ions which promote blood circulation, promote anti
oxidation and rejuvenate skin cell [for smoother & more supple skin]
3. Provide an energizing skin effect [for a more radiant and youthful look]

A new brand in the market but fret not;
Creditability is 101% there as it is under Ginvera!
I was sent 3 products to try by TheSampleStore

1. Amethystory Mineral Bubble Face Wash [SGD $14.90/ 160ml]

2. Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel [SGD $24.90/ 150ml]

3. Amethystory Mineral Aqua Whitening Enhancer [SGD $19.90/ 150ml]

So here's how bad my skin condition was
^ Dull, dead, breaking out.

Chronological order, shall we?
Step 1, cleanse face with bubble wash!

I love using foam to wash my face!
I know I'm slow but ever since I learnt about the "pump for foam" products,
I got lazy at making my own foam with a foaming net ^^;;

Remove the little plastic stopper

& pump it from the bottle! [I used about 2 pumps]

Slap [no, not literally] it on your face!

Here's how my skin looks after cleansing!
Fresh and clean :3

Visual Easy Rating for Amethystory Mineral Bubble
Wash:

Product Volume : 160ml per bottle

Product Texture: Foam

Cleansing Power: 8/10 - One of the reasons why I prefer using foam facial 
wash is because they are able to penetrate deeper into our skin, cleaning it 
more thoroughly!

Scent: 7.5/10 - I'm not a huge fan of scented products but the scent for this
is actually quite nice!

Packaging: 8.5/10 - I love how conveniently the foam comes out from the
pump! Still very amazed by the invention of such pumps, kekeke.

After-feel : 8.5/10 - I did not experience any slight tightness, whatsoever
after rinsing my face and drying it. I am guessing the hyaluronic acid inside is
keeping my skin supple and retaining moisture for me :3

Availability: 9/10 - It can be found in Watsons, and I'm sure there's a Watsons
near you somewhere, 'nuff said.

Price: 8/10 - Only SGD $14.90 for a bottle with 160ml
 of product. I will yes it is
considerably pocket friendly!

Repurchase: Yes. It is not very expensive, easy to use and not to forget how
it leaves my skin so clean! [Smells good too!]

Overall Rating: 8/10

Step 2, Exfoliate!
I'm gonna be using this darling!

That's right, it's the Mineral Aqua Gel!

Once again, remove the stopper!

& pump it!

Texture was more watery than I expect.

It works freaking well!
I left it on my palm for about 15 seconds before rubbing it and here's what I 
got [be warned....]:

SO COOL CAN!
But the watery texture made me think about how am I gonna get that on my face without it rolling around in my palm first, so....
^ Yes, I just pumped it on my face *insert stupid expression here*

But it still works this way okay!
Here's after exfoliating!

Visual Easy Rating for Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel:

Product Volume : 150ml per bottle

Product Texture: Watery, Gel-like

Exfoliating Power: 8.5/10 - From the above pictures, you can see how much
dead skin it collected! *hides in shame* I thought that the texture of product
will mean that it is less efficient but thankfully it did not!

Scent: 0/10 - Don't get my rating wrong! This simply means that there is 
no smell so I can't give any rating as to whether I liked it or not! 

Packaging: 8/10 - Sleek and slim, easy to hold! Not to mention it is purple in
colour, I like it!

After-feel : 8.5/10 - I did not experience discomfort nor did I break out. Skin
felt really smooth after exfoliation!

Availability: 9/10 - It can be found in Watsons, and I'm sure there's a Watsons
near you somewhere, 'nuff said.

Price: 7/10 - While the price tag of SGD $24.90 does not sound very 
expensive [considering how you only exfoliate about 3 - 4 times a week, thus
a bottle should last pretty darn long]. I did take into consideration of other
similar products in the market which cost slightly lesser, thus the rating. This
doesn't mean it is not worth or expensive yo!

Repurchase: Maybe. It is not very expensive, a bottle can last me pretty long
so I can't be sure if during this period of time I will not be tempted to try
another brand/ any new launches that might come up!

Overall Rating: 8/10

Finally, here comes the Mineral Aqua Whitening Enhancer!

This product actually acts like a toner, helps in absorption of your other
skincare products [on top of hydration and whitening]!
Get some product on a cotton pad

About this amount will do~ Then dab it on your face!
[I prefer to dab/pat it on my face, you can use your fingers and do it in
circular motion too, whichever you are more comfortable with (: ]

Finally, here's how my skin look like!

Visual Easy Rating for Amethystory Mineral Bubble
Wash:

Product Volume : 150ml per bottle

Product Texture: Liquid, slightly tacky

Product Power: 8/10 - Okay firstly, sorry for the weird heading. I didn't
quite know what heading to put for this ^^;; Reason being, it says to
hydrate and enhance the absorption of other skincare products, but it
is used at the "toner" step and acts like one. Tell me how am I supposed to
give a title man! Anyway, when I used this product, my cotton actually turned
a little dirty, so I guess it does work like a toner to a certain extent and with
more dirt out of the way, all other skincare product definitely can be absorbed
with more ease.

Scent: 7/10 - While it smelt similar to the bubble wash from the same range,
it is slightly milder.

Packaging: 7/10 - I thought the amount of product was just right and thus
the packaging managed to remain slim. The only complain I had was that
it was a little hard to get the product out from the little opening onto my
cotton.

Absorption : 8/10 - The product was absorbed fairly quickly by my skin, much
to my surprise since it felt kinda tacky.

Availability: 9/10 - It can be found in Watsons, and I'm sure there's a Watsons
near you somewhere, 'nuff said.

Price: 8/10 - SGD $19.90 for a bottle with 150ml of product, pretty much 
around the "market price" for drugstore. Affordable so I am not complaining.

Repurchase: Maybe - While I really liked how much more dirt it removed even
after I cleansed my face so well, the tacky feeling is one point that put me
off the idea of repurchasing, very slightly but yes, it does affect me. If it was
less tacky, I will definitely repurchase with no hesitation so if you are not
a person who is too concerned with texture [to be honest, the tacky feeling
is really very very little, I'm just overly OCD about such things...], I will put 2
hands up and tell you to go for it! My odds of repurchasing to not is 80 : 20.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10

Before I end this post, just want to let you guys know that you can redeem

Mask Review - Hello Kitty Sexy Look Mask in Pink Sakura/ Cherry Blossom
Meow meow!
I got this picture taken almost 1 month back but never got down to doing it!
Since I'm kinda behind the momentum, thought I will make use of what I
already have to give you guys an entry! 

[I'm too lazy to start up photoshop] 

As the title states, it will be about...

Sexy Look Hello Kitty Ultra Moisturizing Mask in Pink Sakura [Cherry Blossom] 
Double Lifting Mask

Here's how the each piece of mask is packaged!
^ I'm a sucker for hello kitty!

Sexy Look is a brand from Taiwan, thus the chinese words.
It says to acheive 4 main effects:
1. Brighten 
2. Tighten Pores
3. Firms
4. Moisturize

Upon opening the mask~

To my surprise, it is actually a 3D mask!
[I didn't research on this mask as I bought it purely because I love sexy look and it
has hello kitty on the packaging, so it was like a win-win situation to buy it!]

Generous amount of serum as usual~
[I don't like the feeling of the rich essence dripping down my neck so I always
slightly squeeze the mask when taking them out from the packaging so it is not
excessively wet]

So, what's my verdict after trying?

Visual Easy Rating for Sexy Look Hello Kitty Ultra
Moisturizing Mask in Pink Sakura/ Cherry Blossom 
Double Lifting Mask

Product Volume : 30ml per piece/pack

Product Ingredients: Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract, Strawberry Extract, Punica
Granatum Fruit, A-Tocopherol, Collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dipotassium,
Glycyrrhetinate, Niacinamide, Sodium PCA, Xanthan Gum, 1-3 Butylene Glycol,
Glycerin, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin, Peg-40, 
Hydrogenated Caster Oil, Perfume, Water

Product Texture: Cloth-like

Scent: 7/10 - I'm not a huge fan of scented products but this one has a very
mild sweet scent, thus it does not irritate me since it is nothing overwhelming.

Packaging: 9/10 - I know, what's there to talk about packaging for a mask.
right? So here I am being a complete visual creature and a hello kitty sucker.
Another thing I liked about the packaging was that it is packed longer instead
of the standard width of many mask boxes. This makes it easier for me to 
make space and keep it in my skincare section of my cupboard!

Brightening: 9/10 - I definitely can see my skin brightening up instantly
after the mask! What's more, it last all the way till the next morning too!

Firming: 8/10 - It is said to have "double lifting" because of the firming
property of the mask itself as well as the hooks to hook onto the ears to lift
our face. I definitely felt the "lift" and my face being firmer after the mask!

Moisturizing : 9.5/10 - Yes, yes and YES! Face feels so supple and "full" after
the mask! 

Essence Absorbency : 7.5/10 - I am pretty lazy when it comes to massaging
the excess serum on the face left by the mask after removal so I pretty much
just let it sit there till it is almost all absorbed then I will gently pat whatever
remains into the skin. The essence is sticky but took no longer than 5 minutes
to get a decent amount absorbed into my skin.

Availability: 7/10 - I heard that it will be available in Watsons soon. 
Nontheless, there are quite a number of offline/retail stores selling them
outside. I got mine in one shop at Chinatown [I'm sorry but I'm not sure where
it is exactly! I took quite some time trying to find that shop too and I'm really
bad with places in Chinatown.] Also, there are plenty of people holding sprees
for mask these days.

Price: 7.5/10 - If I did not remember wrongly, I bought a box of 7 pieces for
SGD $11. That means each piece cost about SGD $1.60. Not very expensive,
but slightly higher than the normal price of sexy look 3D mask/ 3D mask of
other brands. 

Repurchase: Yes. It is not very expensive if you look at how I only use
a mask once every few days. [Even if you are super hardworking, you probably
need 1.5 - 2 weeks to finish a box of 7 pieces!]

Overall Rating: 9/10

I super love Hello Kitty! I wasn't expecting a lot from the mask [though I've
used sexy look before and super duper love them] as I thought being
packaged into such a cutesy outlook will probably mean the inside is not as
awesome [I know, I am SO jaded.] Therefore, this is a big big bonus for me 
to have my favourite 3D mask brand collaborate with my favourite character
for a product!

Hope I was useful :3

[Sponsored] Elicina Snail Cream from Renaza Wellness Lifestyle Lab (Review)
About 1 month ago, I received a package~

It was from Renaza Wellness Lifestyle Lab!

Inside there laid...

TADA! The famous Snail Cream; Elicina Plus!

Quality sealed!

Upon opening... the cream filled the whole tub well! [You know... some products have
such a huge packaging but the amount of product that actually is inside is just so
disappointing!]

See see!

Behind all this makeup, I do have a lot of scars D:
So I'm super excited about this cream, as to whether it can save me!

To be honest, I used this before last year!
But after 2 tubs, I stopped as my doc advised me to take a break from scar cream 
after you've used it for some time as it might lose it's efficiency if I keep using it all
the way.
That being said, I used TWO TUBS prior to this, so if it wasn't effective, I wouldn't
had bought a second tub right!
But unfortunately, though the cream worked for me, I did not take progressive pictures 
then as I never really thought about doing a proper review of it.
I have snippets here and there though~

My first tub of Elicina Plus in 23rd Dec 2010  [Blogged it on 24th Dec 2010]

Here's after I've used it for about 2 weeks, 3rd January 2011
Yes, face looks terrible!

After about using 1.5 months [from day 1] of elicina plus, slight improvements!

Then bought my 2nd tub in 6th Feb 2011! [blogged it on 7 Feb 2011]

A little over 1 month of 2nd tub~ I think you can see major improvements as compared
to when I haven't used it back in 2010!

I finished this tub around late May but thankfully, my skin just continued to improve
even without the scar cream!
This is taken in July 2011~

See the huge improvement?!
From this back in Jan 2011:

To this in July 2011! [Left Side Of Face]

Being sponsored this this time round, I was determined to do a good before and after
assessment for you!
Firstly, the smell is kinda generic, just in case you think that it's gonna smell weird
or slimy just because it's a "Snail Cream," it will not!

This snail cream has a mild exfoliating effect as well.
Thus in a week, I use it once a day for 5 days and twice a day for 2 days, just to be on
the safer side as my skin can be a little sensitive at times.
[Note: For the first 2 tubs, because I did not know my skin very well so I applied them
twice a day everyday, thus they finished up so quickly! After I learnt more about my
skin type and condition, I am more careful in how I administer products on my face (:]

This was taken 1 month back [in late Sept]

And this is taken just 3 days ago.

Do note that for here, I am focusing on the RIGHT SIDE of my face since the
left side has pretty much "recovered."
I will say, the scars' appearance reduced by over 80%?
So I don't see the need to be showing you guys the left side of my face for this 
elicina log.
While for the right side of my face, though there were improvements but it was not as
significant as compared to the left side of my face (:

Compared to July, there are new scars [because I've started to break out again],
but there's definitely slight improvements as compared to September.
Bare in mind that this is taken just 1 month after I restarted the Elicina Plus.
I am very sure I will be able to see even better results in the next 2 months!
Using it once a day [most of the time], I still have so much product left after a month!
I think this tub will be able to last me a good 3 months at least :3
If you are interested in the progress of Elicina [like you want me to update my
condition after 2 months and 3 months of usage], please leave a comment and let me
know and I will note it and do it!

Hope this post was helpful to you~
I believe there are many people like me who want to know how to remove irritating
acne scars and I'm happy to say I've found a product that genuinely works on the first
try (:
I am not doing any Visual Easy Rating for this because I think my pictures can
tell you a whole lot about how it worked well enough. Description will not get anywhere
when it comes to showing you the efficiency of the scar cream as it takes time to
show result!

You can purchase Elicina Plus from Renaza Website or head down to any of their
shop to purchase it offline at:

181 Orchard Road
Orchard Central
#02-13

[Sponsored] Benico 3D Sheet Mask Made In Korea, For Japan Market!
Did my title catch your attention?
:3

Mask made in Korea yo!
Introducing, Benico 3D mask!

I got the Tea Tree (Soothing) Mask to try for the "Cold Mask!"

There's another 3D mask which is the "Hot Mask," meaning you can soak the package
in warm water for about 5 minutes before using it ^^
That will be for another time, today I will talk about the cold one first!
Skin cleansed, all ready for it!

What's so different about this 3D Mask?
Well for the usual 3D mask I blogged about, it is always about the ear hooks.
This one has NO HOOKS!

How it looks like for part of the mask

Weird, right?
I will say it is unique and the first 3D mask I've seen made in this manner!

Here's how it looks like when used/ "worn" on the face!
^ Sorry, my nose not sharp enough T.T

After using the mask...
^ So much essence left on the skin! Skin feels very supple after the mask.

My Verdict: 4/5

In terms of lifting, to be very honest, it felt very subtle. The mask was tad bit big
for my face too~ It's designed too "sharp" [as in for sharp features]. However, I do
want to give points to how it moisturise and nourish my skin, even till day 2 when I
wake up, it still feels well hydrated and "full!" Though it is termed as a 3D mask,
it didn't emphasize that it will do a great deal on lifting so I guess that probably isn't
the main selling point of the mask either. Though a tad bit big, I do like the shape of
this mask as for normal mask, they usually can't cover my nose properly but the 
shape of the nose area for the mask actually allows it to fit the contours of my nose
very well!

I can't wait to try the hot mask next!
Been breaking out recently [no idea why at all], shall wait till my face is a little better!
You can redeem this mask from The Sample Store too yo!

[Sponsored] Meltie Ice Cream Melting Cleanser & Makeup Remover
Interesting title, yes?
Ice Cream plus Cleanser x makeup remover?
Since when did we use ice cream to cleanse our face?!
I sure was baffled when I first saw this.

Yes, Meltie! [courier via TA-Q-BIN! I love ta q bin :3]

Upon removing the nicely & safely packaged parcel...

So cute right! [SGD $29.90/ box]

Now, girls, we all know after a long day out, last thing we want to do when we are beat
is to go through the "remove makeup -> cleanse face -> skincare" routine.

All you want to do is cuddle up with your favourite plushie...

And sleep right away.
^ TERRIBLE HABIT.
I admit, I'm a frequent offender ):
Especially on days after I club, home tired and sleepy, last thing I will want to do is
go through with the routine.
I do sleep like the this, with all that gunk on my face. [Gets thrown rocks T.T]

Tired but still so many steps... THEN HOW?

I have found a perfect solution to anyone out there who are just like me! [or at least, 
somewhat like me]

Meltie to the rescue!

Comes in 3 flavours!
Lemon [Smells mildly citrus-y]

Aloe Vera [Smells like QOO White Grape!]

& Strawberry [I can't quite point out the smell, but TTJ says smelt like Bubblegum?]

I've opened up Lemon to try!

Jang jang!

How each tub looks like

Comes with a little spatula to scoop your product!

As previously mentioned, smells a little citrus-y! Not overwhelming at all!

Check out the texture from outside the tub! Looks like real ice cream right?

But please... don't eat it!

Closer look at the texture

So, how do you use it?
Firstly, scoop the product with the spatula provided.

*drools*

Then, put it on the area you want to remove the makeup! [Of course, is the face... but
here I'm using my hand to demo for you!] This amount is actually enough for me to
cleanse my whole face!

Lather with water [heehee, a little lazy, so I kinda bua it :x]

I made a quick video to show the effectiveness x process!

The official video made by Meltie:

Here's before I use it on my face [taken 2 weeks ago]

& after cleansing

Cool right!
It removes and cleanse my face in 1 step!
Have to say... I've been using this SO OFTEN!
On days that I put on makeup, I almost ALWAYS use this product to remove make up
and cleanse my face!
It's just so convenient!
The fact that they use 100% natural ingredients is a plus point for me!
100% Organic!

Good news for all, they are selling at a promotional price of SGD $24.90 only [Original
Price: SGD $29.90] on their WEBSITE HERE!

I seriously swear by this product!
removes everything so well!

Visual Easy Rating for Meltie - Lemon:

Product Weight : 95g

Product Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Laurate,
Sodium Palmitate, Sorbitol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Myristate,
Sodium Chloride, Coconut Acid, Stearic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance,
Allantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, EDTA

Packaging: 9/10 - SO CUTE! It's a small little tub [95g] thus making it very portable!
Don't have to worry about it taking much space in your luggage when you travel nor
it spilling! [you know how rough handling might cause your cleansers which are
liquid-y to spill]

Cleansing Power: 9.5/10 - As you can see from the picture, everything is removed
quick and clean! But one thing to note; when cleaning your eye area, please make
sure they are shut tight or it can sting your eyes! That being said, please don't
worry because it is ophthalmology tested [on top of being dermatology tested]

Price: 8.5/10 - I wanted to give it a 9.5 but with first impression taken into 
consideration, most people will find it tad bit pricey. However, 1 tub can last from 3 - 6
months so it is definitely worth the price tag.

Availability: 8/10 - You can get it from their website over HERE. Online shopping is
probably the easiest way to get your things these days. Just click click click and 
VIOLA, sent right to your doorstep [or mailbox] (: However, I took points off because I
know that there are people who still prefer offline shopping (:

Trust me, the over 20000 likes on their Facebook Page tells it all.

Make up on your skin after a long day is no longer a battle to remove!

[Sponsored] Love More Aqua Mask in Damascus Rose & Arbutin
Sorry I've been mia-ed for some time.
Let's get down to a review right away! :3

Today I will be sharing a new favourite mask!

That's right, as title states, it's from Love More!
Each box contains 7 pieces! [SGD $11.90/box]

Pink and pretty, top it off, it's for whitening! (Y)

Kekeke, trying it for the first time!
I've used other love more mask before so I was expecting it to be similar~

*cough* I know I have shown this like 3 million times but I still have to warn you...
Don't be shocked!

^ As compared to the previous Love More Mask I've used, I think from the picture you
can tell a very clear difference.
The material of the mask is different!
Very much like the "My Beauty Diary - Chocolate Truffle/ Early Grey x Macaron Tea"
I'ved used!
Compared to previous love more mask, it is also much more skin hugging!

After using~
^skin brighter and more supple!

My Verdict: 4.5/5

I use a lot of 3D mask these days, the only "2D" mask I still use to date is from
My Beauty Diary [the 2 types as mentioned above] as I really love the material of
those mask  but a down side them is that the mask is so thin that it tears pretty
easily. However, with this Damascus Rose & Arbutin Whitening Mask, I do not have
the problem of it tearing [material is very thin and silky, yet not too thin to the point
where you have to be really delicate in handling it] and it hugs my skin very well!
After mask, my skin feels supple and "full", can see that it is brighter and fresh looking
even till the next morning when I woke! I think I've found a mask that can usurp the
position of MBD in my <3! Oh, one last thing to mention, the mask smells like
bandung [rose syrup] to me ^^;; I don't particularly dislike bandung but just wanted to
let you guys know~

There you have it, a mask that you definitely MUST MUST MUST try!
*2 thumbs & 2 toes up*

[Sponsored] Another Tasty Treat from Shaw Leisure Gallery; Creation Cafe
Bringing you to another good food adventure!
The response from my previous entry about The Oversea Restoran Group really
motivated me so much to do this again ^^

Thank you to TheSampleStore once again, with Shaw Leisure Gallery, in
bringing me yet another wonderful nom nom place!

Introducing... Creation Cafe!

This gem is hidden at the cosy food corner in Shaw Leisure Gallery, level one.
So what food does this award winning cafe serve?

Looking at the condiments provided, can you guess it?

Well, enough tantalizing, it's Italian! Pasta per l'esattezza (:

Did you see that? The super affordable price for set lunch!
SGD 9.90, no extra GST or service charge!

I went there with an empty stomach to fill it with what they have to offer!
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect at all ^^
First up, appetizer; Mushroom Soup!

*blows*

Nom nom nom!

Finished it up in a flash!
The soup has bits of mushroom chunks with every sip, giving a boost to the tactile
experience in my mouth, just how I love my mushroom soup to be (: The picture tells
how much I xoxo it!

Notable mention to the bread accompanied with the soup; it taste slightly crusty on 
the outside and the mix of herb and butter is just right! I never took notice of the bread
that comes with soup because most of the time they taste mediocre but this one taste
so good I can eat it alone!

First pasta served; Carbonara, a classic favourite!

Close up when on my plate

The ingredients and sauce compliment each other so well! I feel that the sauce of
pasta can make or break the whole deal and this sauce certainly did pasta justice.
Sometimes, Carbonara can taste a little salty for me due to the ham but not in this
case; a bite of ham and all I could taste was ham enriched with the taste of sauce,
no excessive saltiness!

Second Dish: Spicy Crab Meat Pasta, a fusion between the well loved dish by locals &
italian! [Additional SGD $4.00 on top of set lunch price]

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you.
That's a whole pincer, big pieces of fish meat [I think it's salmon] and squid [a.k.a 
sotong] in a plate!

Unique flavour. I never imagined I will taste a pasta in this interesting collaboration!
Kudos to the chef that thought of this idea! Personally, I love crabs a lot so this dish
was <3 <3 <3 for me!

Third Dish: Seafood Java Curry Pasta, Indo-italian fusion [Additonal SGD $1.00 on top
of Set Lunch Price]

Juicy prawn, de-shelled nicely for you!
I have not tried Java Curry before and if this is how Java curry taste like, I am definitely
loving it! It was virgin experience for me and Creation Cafe certainly made it a good one!

Fourth dish: Seafood Laksa [Additonaly $1.00 on top of Set Lunch Price]

Hmm, I am not a huge laksa lover, just eat it whenever I have that craving [which 
probably comes 2 - 3 times a year?] so I can't say much about this dish =/ I feel I will
not do justice, but then again, it really taste like the real deal so Laksa lovers will 
probably like it too!

Fifth and Final Dish: Mushroom Risotto

Did I mention I really love cream sauce? This dish was my first time trying Risotto!
[Ahem, so many virgin experiences in this food trip!] 
The rice were big and almost round, love it!
I'm not a rice lover, but this certainly made me want more and more!

Finally, just want to add on that all the above mentioned pasta were cooked Al Dente
and their respective sauces certainly seeped right into them!

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!
Good food topped with good companion/ familiar faces!
Michiyo was right beside me!

xoxo her!

Just to piss you off [*cough* inside joke]

Tiph was there too! Can't wait for our shopping trip omg!

Verlynn! Why her double lids so pretty one? #uinfair ):

A shit ass long video
I think the fact that I haven't been doing anything productive the past 5 days
made me a little nonsensical.

So some favourite products lately/ this year so far.
I'm lazy to take pictures and compile them into a post so here you go~




Total up to 25 minutes, sorry I talked too much =/

Harajuku Street opening @ TANGS
So I went down with Tsuriki and to be honest, didn't turn out like what I 
expected it to be =/


Let's just say the only thing worth mentioning is... Utt asked us to take a 
picture with him cos apparently we look like dolls [though I bet to differ.]

After picture, he was like "can I take you girls back?"
hurhurhur, but I completely forgot to ask him for a picture on my camera
*palm face*
Why me so fail one?!

Sad to say, since the event turned out not quite what I expected, I didn't have the
mood to take lots of pictures, whatsoever.
I'm quite bad at crowds... =/
Introvert, not a crowd lover!

Tsuriki promoting for Nth Magazine!

Karmun left early to meet her boyf for movie ):

Why me so short!?

As usual, I can never see people around.
That's why to everyone who thinks that I'm trying to act cocky/ dao/ whatever, I am 
NOT. I honestly cannot see you even if I look like I'm staring at you, I swear!
I'm a very "target" person.
If I'm looking for a dustbin, all that's in my eyes will be the dustbin [i.e. everything
else becomes "dark" while the dustbin will be the only "bright" object in my eyes]
Sigh, that's why I always get misunderstood ):
Thankfully, Angie spotted me [thus, I spot Mirai], Golly and Keidi from Alexis 
Magazine~
She also bought my G12!

Hurhurhur, I forsee myself changing camera earlier than my planned 5 years.
It's like having identity crisis soon =/
^ Duffy and Shelliemay camera shy

Tsuriki was interviewed by NHK and somehow I got pulled into the interview.
#awkwardx999999999999999999
I swear I am terrible when it comes to people asking for photo/ video.
I'm only good with taking them MYSELF -_-

Being the food monsters we are, headed over to Far East Plaza to nomnom after
Tsuriki settled some of her work stuff.
Yes, no coverage.
Heck, I don't even understand why I put that title.

Actually, I wanted to upload a video for you guys [I blabbed on and on and BAM, it
became a 25 minutes long video -_-] but they keep FAILING so I give up.
I shall split it into 2 and upload 1 part while I sleep. Upload the second part tomorrow
when I head out to school :3

This is not a filler post, I swear!
Proper pictures, see? :3
Before I forget, help me click on the nuffnang add on the left <<< okay? (:

xoxo
