I love Christmas!

I love Christmas!


I had an awesome Christmas celebration! What about you??? Sorry for not blogging during Christmas as I was damn busy with many things and some unwanted things happened so I gotta settle thou'. But anyhow, nothing could beat me down the mood for Xmas. I'm super happy and indeed lucky! Two days before Christmas.... I received my personal name card delivered to my office. It's personally designed (*of course I was the one throwing the idea of how I want my name card to be) and the designer just worked out on it. They put things together, printed out and delivered. So here is the piece of art work :D
Purposely mosaiced my contact number so that those strange people can't reach me. I'm not free to talk crap with you and over the cup of coffee, talking about the weather. So do not ask for my contact. Love me? Read my blog and click ads!
One day before Christmas! I flew back Malaysia to have celebration with my boyfriend and to have some important appointments with some people. It was great even though we didn't really do much things like partying out but we had great time together every time I'm back. Wanted to watch Avatar but tickets all were sold out! *blerk. Hate it! Christmas day!!! Woohoooooo! It's about Christmas pressie opening time. I've tweeted many times about my super chio Christmas toy that i have had. This is the one.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Introduce to you....
Inside view!
So mad love with this little cute toy I have! Love the chio size, the swirly flower printed on, the pinky shading keyboard and it's so light. It's even lighter than my handbag i swear!!!
Super cutie, isn't it? Compare to my first lappie, they look like mother and daughter, lolz... Now that people asking me, what are you going to do with 2 laptops? Of course, I need both. One is for traveling usage, one is for heavy usage i.e: Photoshop, music and video editing. Can? Not just that, I even got these for myself!
It's neither hand-phone accessories nor key-accessories. It's 4GB USB ok! Damn powerful capacity in such a tiny body usb lor.
Last pinky toy!
Tadah it's mini-speaker.
I'm super in love with this burger-mini speaker. Dont judge it wrongly by seeing its side. Damn loud! Some more it's pink. Hahaha!!! You guys should get these! I think, they are cheaper in Malaysia than in Singapore. Oh i think that's enough to flood u guys up with all the pink stuffs. I had best Christmas ever with all my loves. Can't demand for more! A day after Christmas. The most exciting thing was I, my boyfriend and Ida (my wedding planner) went to look for my wedding gown. OMGGGG! It was so damn fun! I had my special wedding gown which I can assure it's super unique, sexy ever that no one ever seen before :D So mad love it! Sorry, no photo taken on trying out the gown as the wedding gown only be revealed on the day itself. So you guys gotta wait for it then. But i'm sure it's gonna shock people, lolz. That's all for now. Enjoying the holiday everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Dancing with Crystal: Rumba


This is my favorite dance, woohooo! Anyone who doesn't know what the Rumba is. That is a Latin American dance which was mainly grown in Cuba. Rumba is the spirit and soul of Latin American music and dance. The fascinating rhythms and bodily expressions make the Rumba one of the most popular ballroom dances. I love Rumba because of its characteristics. It's slow, sensuous and romantic with many flirtations of the lady with her partner then immediately reject him. She teases her partner and run away right after the man addicts to her. She gives him the feeling of "I love you"- "No, I hate you" at the same time. What a game of emotion! In rumba, the spotlight focus on the lady and in particular her rhythmic body action and sexuality. The slower the music is, the better body action she needs to create. That's the most difficult part of the dance. That's also the reason why I love so much this sensual and romantic dance. Every time on the dance floor, when it comes to Rumba music I can feel every single cell in my body wants to move. How strange! Anyway, this is another piece of my dancing with my new partner for our coming- up coming competition. We have just done 5 dances, and present to you our first dance: The RUMBA!

FHM CHRISTMAS PARTY

FHM CHRISTMAS PARTY


I was invited to attend the FHM Early Christmas party "Santa Has a surprise party" at Movida, St. James Power Station for the first time. I heard of FHM Magazine and have always been a fan. So when I received an invitation to join their party, I was jumping for joy. 

I invited Cloudie Tan, a model turned friend, whom I got to know from ModelMayhem to join me. We were so excited that we discussed what to wear a few days before the party. Cloudie even went to RiverIsland to buy a pair of 5-inch heels (photo below) for S$279. 


When we arrived at St. James Power Station early, there were already a bunch of people standing outside: photographers, guests, organizer and some Santa Claus girls. First thing first, we had to take some photos at the red carpet. 


There were many photographers taking pictures of us as soon as we walked on the red carpet. 



A photo of me and Cloudie taken by Lifestyle asia magazine.

Even the cup mat looked hot tonight. 


FHM is super famous magazine featuring 100 Sexiest women in the world ranking every year. Every woman wants to be on that list. When we are talking about FHM, we are talking about hot girls, beautiful cars and many other things that make the guys go crazy for. This was a door gift from Durex, the sponsor. 




MTV Asia VJ Dennis kicked off the party. She looked incredible, didn't she?


Then we had a beautiful magician on stage, "Magic Babe" Ning. She performed some magic tricks to entertain the audience. She was tied insider her jacket and managed to escape out without untieing the jacket. 


Then we had hot boys on stage dancing Salsa. Not to mention, free drink for the ladies all night long.  



Meeting a new friend at the party.  Cola, me and Cloudie! It was such a fun night we had. All thanks to FHM Magazine.

GET YOUR SEXY BACK

GET YOUR SEXY BACK


How do you define a word "SEXY"??? Does it mean we have to wear less clothes, red lipstick, high heels, etc...to be called sexy? No it's not! A person is sexy, regardless what he/she is wearing, he/she will be still sexy from the first look. But I'm not just talking about the outlook in this post. Last Wednesday night, I was invited by Omy.sg to attend this event at Zouk:
At first, when I received email from Omy, I didn't know what this event was about. Thought it might be a party with some hot chics with music, dancing or something. It turned out to be a part with no dancing at all but singing. It was a BOOMZ concert organized by Get Your Sexy Back (GYSB) with many singing performances by local artists, i.e  Da Feng Chui, Project Superstar alumni Carrie Yeo & Chen Di Ya, singer & songwriter Jillian Marie Thomas, and a super star JJ Lin.
If you guys listen to many Chinese songs, you probably know who is he. I didn't know thus I didn't care much. But no doubt, he has a baby face with a cute dimple (like me ^_^) and his voice is sweet. Anyway, back to the event. It was actually a campaign to promote responsible drinking behavior among the youth in Singapore. This is the 3rd year since the first one was launched in December 2007, and the response have been very good! Look at the crowd waiting in front of Zouk, all are still very young.
When I got there, the first thing is....
posing at the banner :D Lovely pink!
After registration, I was sitted at the VIP/ Media area with complimentary drink for the whole night including some beers, fruit juices.
It was such a long time I didn't drink beer until that night.
Lovely and blink decoration on the stage. I'm always attracted to whatever shining and blinking.
Right after the party was heated up by many singing performances, the hottest show of the night was began with JJ's performances.

The tag line for this GYSB campaign is "It's not the drinking, it's how you drinking" which I found it so absolutely true. People, especially youngsters nowadays, like hanging out with friends in public, in clubs, in restaurants more than staying at home. Very often, we see many people (girls and guys) get drunk at the pub. "Ewww, that's horrible! Why the hell they couldn't control their drinking"- 

Why people get drunk? You ask. It could be the following reasons. 
1. Girlfriend goes to the other guy! Drunk! 
2. Boyfriend dumps. Drunk! 
3. Bachelor party! Last night to be a single! Drunk 
4. Happy because just passed the exam! Tomorrow is school holiday. Tonight, we must go bottom-up! So drunk 
5. Wedding dinner! Bride gets drunk, the groom also wants to be drunk. Worst case, some guests are drunk too for the sake of "my best friend got married", they destroy the whole night. 
6. Gathering, farewell, birthday party, etc...
There are so many reasons for people to get drunk. Since many young people nowadays learn how to drink, it's time for us to shout out! Watch your drinking! That's the purpose of this party.
Tell me, have you ever got drunk even once in your life? You'd better be honest here! 
Let me confess, I ever got drunk twice in my entire life. The first time was at my friend's wedding party! The lady right next to me was having a crush with a guy next table, but she couldn't speak out her feeling because she was divorced before. So she drank a lot and kept asking me to bottom up with her. I thought I would be ok, but then I got drunk since when I didn't know. 
The second time was when I broke up with my ex! It's not a good thing to recall. It was damn shameful you know! And it's a horrible memory too! Until now, sometimes I think back, I can't imagine how terrible I looked when I got drunk. Promise! No next time! Keep your living style healthy is the best way to maintain your sexiness.
This is SEXY!
This is NOT!
So which one you want??? Of course, you want to be like me! Then here is the drinking tips for you!
  • Know your Limit!
  • Space Your Drinks—e.g. one per hour (two at the most). Know that all drinks are not created equal. For example, a Long Island Iced Tea may have as many as 3 to 7 shots of alcohol, which can take as long as 2 to 6 hours to metabolize!
  • Don't drink on an empty stomach. You are more likely to get sick and less likely to be able to control yourself when you do drink on an empty stomach.
  • Keep count of the amount of drinks you've drank.
  • Don't drink and drive--Plan ahead for transportation; Use public transport or call a taxi!
  • Stay with people you know and trust, but BEWARE, people's personalities are affected by alcohol use!
  • Alcohol and sex don't mix! The mixture often leads to humiliation, regret, embarrassment, STD's, pregnancy and sexual assault!
  • Never accept a drink from someone you don't know--You don't know what they could have put into it!
  • Careful what you combine! Pay attention to the warning labels on prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Combining alcohol and marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, speed or other drugs can be very dangerous, due to interaction effects.
  • Pregnant or think you might be? Alcohol goes straight from a mother's bloodstream to the unborn baby causing birth defects and other abnormalities.
  • Please don't use alcohol to make yourself feel better when you are depressed--talk it out, go for a walk, listen to music--make some connections. Alcohol will not solve your problems--even if it helps you escape for a few hours. Look at all the people and resources around you--there must be someone you can tell your story to!
  • Know your Limit
  • *from Drinkingtips
  • Again, drink responsibly! Enjoy your party and remember to "Get your sexy back". For more infos about this campaign, check it out HERE

    So, everybody are you ready to get your sexy back? I am!
    P/s: Thanks Omy for inviting me and thanks Sam- my photographer for accompanying me that night!

    MY FLAWLESS SECRET

    MY FLAWLESS SECRET


    This post was requested some time ago by some of my blog readers and friends, but I was too busy to post it up. They asked me: "What foundation brand are you using?", "What skin care products you apply?" "How come your face so smooth and flawless, what are the tips?" etc...

    As today I just received some new skincare products, so I'm going to blog about it and share with you my simple daily skincare routine

    1. Morning

    I clean my face every morning with this brightening rice water cleanser from The Face Shop. The sales girl told me that, this is the best selling item of The Face Shop!
    The cleanser foam is mainly made from rice water. So it's pretty safe and friendly for all skin types. Vote 3 stars for it.

     2. Afternoon
    I don't put much make up during the normal day unless I go to any events or photo shoot. Normally, I just apply a little bit of sunscreen, Aloe Vera Propolis Cream bought from Forever Living Products, blusher and lipstick. That's all for the day! :)
    Photo with no photoshop effect at all taken by my Berry!
    But if I have to make up, this foundation and face powder from Chanel is definitely my recommendation.
    I totally love this.  I've been using many other brands, but Chanel really makes my skin look significantly different. I have combination skin, so it usually gets oily after I wear make up for long hour. But with Chanel Mat Lumiere, I don't even have to worry about that. The longer I wear, the better it absorbs into my skin and makes it naturally smooth. Trust me! Not only that, it could control my oil level perfectly, I just need to use a piece of tissue to absorb the oil. That's it! Again, my skin is combination skin so if you have the same skin type like me, you can try out Chanel.

     3. Evening.
    REMEMBER to remove your makeup when you are home! I can't believe some girls even wear the makeup to sleep. That's so horrible treat for your skin. Your skin needs to "shower" like yourself and it needs to breath too! Don't use normal facial foam for make-up remover, it won't work much and leave your skin dried. Instead, try to use some organic oil based makeup removers. They are gentler on your skin. I'm currently using a bunch of products sponsored by V & M. They are fine to me so far.
    From left: Dead sea cleanser, Dead sear toner, Dead sea body and hand cream, Nail tool.
    I'm only using Dead sea cleanser for makeup remover and apply Dead sea toner after that. The Dead sea body and hand cream are used as a body lotion. And the 4 in 1 nail tool, wow super cool. It combines of 4 functions: cleaning, brushing, shaping and shinning your nails. Really like a magic! I also love this Ocean sandy mask:

    4. Night. 
    I used to think that when we are sleeping, we need to let our skin free to breath. Thus, I didn't even apply and thing on my face at all. But after that I realized that my skin in the next morning became dry and dehydrated. A skin specialist told me that because when we are sleeping, lacking of water intake and the air con will dehydrate our skin. Thus, you need to apply some sleeping mask or skin products to moisturize the skin, drink lot of water before and after sleep. It really works.

    I got for myself a sleeping mask from The Face Shop!
    This is one of my favorite too! I apply it in every evening before I sleep. The specialty about this sleeping mask is, no matter how hot or cold temperature you store this product in, it still gives you a very cool feeling in your hands and the smell is really good. I love to apply a bit on my eyes every time my eyes get tired. It will re-freshen my eyes and give me a good sleep during the whole night. My boyfriend always says "You sleep like a piggy, just lie down for a few mins you can sleep already!" Hahahah....I gave him once sleeping mask to use too, and he slept like pig too, lolz :D Go and get one! You will love it!
    The other reason why I like to use The Face Shop is because my favorite man Kwon Sang Woo- Korean actor is an Ambassador for this product.
    Super hot! Yum.....:D How could we ladies resist!
    Got this free product from The Face Shop too, while I bought the sleeping Mask. Pore treatment!
    Mad Love! xoxox
    That's all- my secret. If you want to have a good, smooth and acne-free skin like mine, you have to invest in it. Do it now and your skin will thank you later. If you don't take care of it now, you'll regret when you get older. Men need to take care of your own skin too. There are many skin care products for men nowadays that you can find. There is nothing more terrible than kissing on a congested and acnes face :D So thumb up for good skin everyone! I totally agree with the saying: "There is no ugly woman, just a lazy woman" :D
      P/s: Just bought a bottle of Tanning spray! I can't wait to be tanned! Love it!
