To the best mom on earth


Hi dolls,

I'm back again after a long holiday! Guess where I went? Vietnam again, lolz....

The photos about my Chinese new year trip in Vietnam I still haven't had time to upload yet, now here comes another one. There are so many places I haven't explored yet in Vietnam and I want to visit to all places. And this was the most ad-hoc trip ever because I didn't plan for it at all. I had 4 days holiday last week and I felt like I need a break from everything: work, relationship, busy life, etc...and I must find a place where I can de-stress myself. After thinking about many options: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia....I decided to go to Vietnam in the end. And hell ya, I was so damn lucky to book the flight ticket at only S$451 net. Booking on Wednesday, flying off on Friday, lolz...Did I ever tell you that I'm always the "last minute" person? Yes I am! Sorry, can't help!

Back to the main topic, I wanted to write this entry to dedicate to the best mommy in the world (to me) since Mother's Day is just around the corner. Just a short one!

Introducing to you, my cute, sweet mommy:


She is not staying with me now, she is about 2196km away from me and all I can do is to celebrate with her over the phone or through my blog only -_-

Last year, I bought some gifts for her. 2 years ago, I wrote a story about her life on my blog. This year, not decided yet. 

She is my mom but also like my best friend, my sister. I can talk to her everything: quarreling with boyfriend, having bad day at work, late period, feeling nervous, excited, worry, how many times I have sex in a week bla bla bla...She just listens, laughs, worries, scolds and advises me. Most importantly, she is always making me laugh when I'm down. She protects me and my brother from anyone who wants to harm us. 

I'm so proud of my mom. I bring many friends back home and all of them love her because they find she is sweet, friendly and so cute, lolz...


This is what I meant "CUTE"!

Trying to strike a pose for me to take picture. I don't know where the hell she gets this pose from but everytime she does it, I and my dad just couldn't stop laughing. 


Lynn (my new BFF) and my mom! She was the one started this pose first and asked Lynn to follow. 


Lynn just met my mom for 1 day only. They look like mother- daughter while I'm like a strange photographer on the street who wants to take their photo for $5 fee.  


No other word besides sweetness ~

If I had 1 wish, I just wish she and my dad could stay young forever with me. It's just so painful to think she is getting older and older when time flies. My heart breaks every time I know that she is sick :( 
Wish you will be happy every day, Mom! You know, I love you always!

Have you done anything to show your Love to your mom yet? Do it now! Without her, you wouldn't have chance to see the world, to grow up, to be successful like you are today. Treat your mom like how you want your children treat you in return. Just get your ass up and do something even small and simple to her. At the end, your thought that counts

And lastly, say "Happy Mother's Day" !!!

Whitening mask


How you girls usually take care of your face? I know every girl uses facial wash everyday. Don't tell me you don't wash your face. So, besides facial foam, cleanser, moisturizer, what else do you do?

I used to have a dry, pimply face when I was 16, 17 years old (blame the stupid puberty) and I didn't even think it's a problem at all. Hence, I didn't care much about it. After I started dancing, i started to learn how to put on make up because I couldn't go to perform with a pale face. And you know that make-up for dancing performances, competition is kinda hardcore one. Everything needs to be ultra dark, ultra heavy yet 100% water proof. If you ever see some of my dance photos I posted up, you'll probably know how it looks like. And because of the heavy make up, it makes my skin dry up even faster, more damaging if I don't seriously take care of it. I then began learning how to maintain my youthful skin. Will share with you more in details in the next post, now it's a quick one

Once a week, mostly on Sunday, I will spend time on "feeding" my skin. So troublesome! I seriously force myself so hard to make it as a habit regardless how busy I am. I've just done my:

Whitening facial mask!
(The most real-time blog entry of all time, lolz)


The mask was kept in the fridge. So damn cold on my face but it's super cool and relaxing. I can just lie down and sleep if only there would be somebody to wash my facial later, lolz.


Close up! I used a brush to apply the mask on, that's why you can see it's so even every parts. My eyebrows are enjoying it too :D

Now, can camwhore as long as I wish while waiting for the mask to dry and absorb into my skin.

Want to know what is the result?

Here you go!
*tadah*



Awesome flawless skin and super duper smooth. My god! I'm in love with my skin, so nice to touch :D. Nevertheless, this is not the final result that I wanted yet as you can see, the pores are still quite big, I need to do few more rounds to tighten up the pores and remove all the stupid blackheads out :(



That's me! Without any make up on! 

My messy beauty corner, lolz!

Tell me any girl or guy doesn't want to have good skin? Go and get your mask done, at least once a week for God's sake. There is nothing worse that kissing on a pimply, oily and rough face :D Don't let people have a nightmare after kissing you. Good luck!

White collar boxing is fun


Yesterday, I and Keef were invited to attend a annual event "White Collar Boxing" organized by IFS as one of the event co-sponsors. 

It was my first time ever watching LIVE boxing. I used to hate boxing, same goes with muay thai or whatsoever sport is related to fighting. There is no fun watching 2 people fighting with blood all over their faces and the audiences are supposed to stop them, they clap hands to cheer the fighters up. It's just silly. 

That what I used to think too. But when I attended the White Collar Boxing event last Saturday, it was totally out of my imagination. Nevertheless, it's pretty fun, exciting to watch...Both men and women in white collar professions are trained to fight at special event and they have no experience of boxing before. This event was organized for fund raising purpose to support Children's Surgical Centre in Cambodia. A week ago, it was a party organized at Se7en1nch and they raised $160, xxx so far....What's a meaningful event!

I didn't take lot of photos because I was busy watching and the event was so grand until I felt shy if I kept taking photo of myself, my skin is still not thick enough tho'. So here is just a quickie post..


A magazine was placed on our table with the fights schedule. There were 8 bouts in total, 2 bouts for women and 6 bouts for men


Look at what I found here! Se7en1nch full page on the first page of the mag. Proud to be one of the sponsors! :D

A glimpse at the fighters!






There are 16 of them in total, I just took few photos for you all to see, make your saliva come out. They are hell sexy and hot, my God! I feel like registering my name for the next year White Collar Boxing already. By then, I will be listed in "Super light weight" category and have no competitor, I will win trophy for sure. hahahahaha!!!!


Introduction time, fighters but walking like models on the catwalk, lolz.

Presenting on the stage

and get ready for the bout


MC of the night. He is a real professional MC and totally entertaining. Hate him, why never share some talents to me? I also want to be an MC -_-

The best thing of the night: While watching them fighting, we were served foods. Delicious foods!

and drink. 

All of sudden, among those nice, clear photos taken by a professional camera, there is a blur photo of me. 
Taken by my iPhone before heading to town. Behind me is a half and even blurrier photo of Keef, lolz.

That's all for this post. Wait til next year if I attend White Collar Boxing event, I'll announce. 
I think, I will create a new name for this sport "White Collar Boxance" means Boxing + Dance. Imagine, I do boxing by using dancing technique? I'm gonna win for sure. :D
Ok, night to me! G'd morning to you! Muahx muahx
