SG River Festival, A pic with Zoe Tay, and NDP rehearsal parade!

Picture-flooding time!

Attended the Singapore River Festival with other Nuffnang bloggers. It was blistering hot but fun!



Tied my hair in a bow for the night.

If you wanna know how I did it check out this video!

I must say it looks uber cute with blonde hair! Not liking the roots though.



With Pinkpau and Kenny



With Jessica and Boss Ming atop our boat ride! It was so breezy on the boat. Fun!



Merlion


Wongsie's birthday!





At Udders eating lovely ice cream. I had earl grey and durian! Mad love.



Lewis and Eekean stuffing faces



And there's her taking a picture with the courtesy lion.

And the pool noodle I just bought! -_-



Saw a most gorgeous rainbow just outside the old condo. Mike woke me up to see it, saying, "Baby, you'd have to see this!"

Even the LX3's wide-angle lens were not enough to capture the rainbow from end-to-end, so I stitched it up with photoshop. Not a very good job though. Oh well!

It's not often we see such big rainbows in Singapore!



Chio!



Pumpkin before her spaying... So cute!



How adorable is she?

(And in case anyone is wondering, the reason why I didn't use the Juicy doggie bag is because this bag is softer and more comfy for Pumpkin. I reckoned that after her traumatizing operation she'd wanna rest in a more comfortable bag.)

Shuyin and I went to a Jewelry fashion show Dr Lee invited us to. It also coincides with the launch of her skincare products.







Inside the tent



Host Vivian Tan



Dr Lee in super chio shoes



Ultra hot models


Midway through the show Zoe Tay appeared and sat next to Dr Lee, right in front of me!

She kept turning to whisper to Dr Lee so I tried to snap a photo of her but...

Damn unlucky! All I got were shots of her when she is turned the other way!!

Anyway, I shouldn't have fret coz at the end of the show she was nice enough give photo-opportunities to everyone!

We had to go through a short queue to take a pic with her!



I look madly fugly in this picture.

I already did massive photoshop but I still look like a penguin. Somehow. Penguiny.

Anyhow the first time Zoe Tay said to me was "Hen jiu mei you kan dao ni le hor? Zai mang she me?"

Translate: "Haven't seen you in a long time! What have you been busy doing?"


I blabbered some answer coz I was panicky and starstruck. Zoe Tay leh! Famous since I was like 12!

I told this to Shuyin and Shuyin asked me "So when WAS the last time you saw her?"

I said I don't remember and I don't think the last time I saw Zoe she actually noticed me. (Ie I was in the audience or whatever)

We concluded that our ah jie was just being nice and trying to make me feel special. Whoopie! :D



With Eileen Wee and Paul Twohill. I haven't seen Eileen in super long!





Pumpkin with her bling hair clip.



Her only redeeming factor is that she loves to curl up on my lap. Once she is there, she contentedly adjusts herself into a comfortable position and refuses to leave.

Even if I tip her out she just hops back in. LOVE!



"MAMA GIMME MY TOY!"



Best trick to get good pet photos is to hold their treat/toy just beside your camera and snap!



Lala and I at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (I wrote Half Bloody Prince HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! Imagine not full bloody only half bloody HAHAHAHA! Ok stop.).

Wearing GOLD for Gryffindor, and round glasses + green eyes for Harry!

Courage above all!

I thought the movie was ok. That's only coz I have mega low expectations for HP movies as 3,4 and 5 sucked SO BAD.

What the fuck happened to Chris Columbus??

He directed movie 1 and 2 and they were totally FABULOUS! He was the only director who specifically said that he tried his best to stick the movies as closely as possible to the books.

Ok just saw this in wiki:

Chris Columbus had expressed interest in directing the seventh Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; but David Yates, the director of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has since retained the position to direct both parts of the film.


BAH HUMBUG. Don't like David Yates.

Also don't like the fact that the cast is all-British as per J K Rowling's insistence. Let's face it... Hollywood actors are usually better!


With Timmy and Mike at The French Stall:





Duck with risotto, foie gras, and creamed spinach as a side order. :D



That's it! I was busy eating and not taking pics. LOL!



Berry lovers! With Huiwen and Dweam at the Cenosis Glass House.


After that went to meet secondary school friends for dinner at Dallas:



Where got people so old already still don't wanna take photos one??



Better.



My crispy roast chicken!

It's very nice lah! The sauce is shitty but the chicken is tender and has really crispy skin!

The beans are HEAVILY buttered (LOVE!!) and the mashed potato is sooooooooo good!



After dinner we went to MindGames (something like settler's cafe) where we played Taboo and my team won! MUAHAHA! I'm super competitive!

Got tickets to go watch NDP rehearsal thanks to Wanyi!!!!!!



My friends think that my handicapped toilet saga is very funny. I have SO MANY PHOTOS of them snapping me as I exit the toilet. -_-

Come out of temporary toilet they also must ambush me!

Anyway I'm posting it coz I look mad skinny here with biggish boobs! MUAHAHA!



Midori (left) and Wanyi excitedly opening the NDP freebies bag.



Sea of RED... It's touching to see all Singaporeans united in making the stadium look so cool.



Best buddy for stifling events like these!



Weili + Ferris wheel in the background



Mr Bean provided our drums and this is the drumstick!



So cute!



Zac Zac also inside the goodie bag! Can something tell me what has High School Musical's official magazine got to do with National Day?



Tattoos!







Can you imagine I took the MRT back home looking like that? Haha!

People must be thinking I'm one of those patriotic freaks.



Little girl sitting in front of us is soooo pretty!

Good at camwhoring too!





We were provided with a butter sugar roll...



The inside is just a slab of butter mixed with grains of sugar. Very kua kua lor... But not bad nonetheless.







Everyone standing up to say the pledge.





Check out this abomination they created! Mad fugly PAPERY figurines of the 4 main races in Singapore. Looks super scary, especially the CHINESE one! Wearing those olden Chinese costume... It fucking looks like a ghost lor!



My favourite National Day song is "We will get there" by Stef Sun. :D



BOOM!





Love the heart-shaped fireworks!











Yay!!

Good thing about it being a rehearsal is that the traffic was not too bad when we were going back!

Oooh! And also I think the funniest part of the day was when they announced that the Prime Minister/President has arrived.

Obviously Mr Lee and Mr Nathan cannot go for each rehearsal right, so they had to get someone dressed in a short-sleeve white shirt and white pants to replace the political figures!

FUCKING FUNNY LAH!

The cameras were all focused on these, for the lack of a better word, nobodies. They had to act damn serious and not laugh even though the whole stadium was laughing at them!

Then they were like waving regally to the crowds and all. HAHAHA! FUNNY NOT??



Anyway, not only word about there being too many adverts!

1) You may wish to skip the adverts if you don't feel like reading them. They don't affect your life in the least. And also, some people DO enjoy reading them!

2) It is only because of the Adobe advert that I'm even writing this post! I just moved into my new place and I'm super duper busy unpacking and packing! But I thought you all might complain so I blogged this too!

3) Need money. Bugger off.

Oxygen For You?

Note: Blogged one new post under this post.

Advertorial



Feeling bored at home?


How about doing something fun and also ultra good for you, like a FACIAL MASK??

I hate to sound like one of those girls who are always going on about skincare, but it's really time to start. :(

And yes, I regret not putting in more effort when I was younger.

I've heard so many aunties say that sentence to me when I was a teen and it irritated me so much that I vowed never to repeat that. But here I am, repeating it! Golden advice!

Nowadays all my girlfriends who are about my age are putting on face masks all the time! After a mask, skin feels hydrated, rejuvenated, and well... it gives me the illusion that I'm 18 again. Except ironically when I was 18 my skin was damn shitty. But that's not the point.

I'm constantly on the lookout for better skin care products because the technology is always improving anyway!

So. I got sponsored 3 new skincare products and I'm gonna introduce them to you!

Available at SA SA outlets:



Beauty Talk's OxySolution



Beauty Talk's OxyMask



Beauty Talk's OxyAqua



Maybe some of you have seen, heard of, or even used these before.

Afterall, they have been featured on Taiwan’s hottest TV programme 女人我最大 before!

So what's so special about Beauty Talk's products?

As is obvious from the product names and my blog title, the answer is OXYGEN.

Did you know that even if you keep a stringent skincase regime, your skin can still appear yellowish and dull if it doesn't have enough oxygen in it?

"Oxygen is important for our skin as it renews skin cells, promotes metabolism and provides energy to the skin.

Without fresh oxygen, blood circulation is slower and unable to detoxify, causing dark and dull skin."


Well. That's kinda lousy news.

So now we know that on top of moisturizing and hydrating, sunblock, and an amass of other things we need to do to keep looking young, we can now add "giving skin OXYGEN" to the list.

But no worries, I'm gonna give my skin oxygen if that's what it wants. It's like a demanding girlfriend, never stops requesting for stuff.


First step is to use OxySolution!



Give the bottle a little shake to make sure it's mixed well.



Prepare a cotton pad



SQUEEZE!



So cute :D





When it's drenched in OxyGoodness, gently tap on skin!







This mousse is actually a multi-functional toner.
It moisturizes and even cleanses while firming up your skin!

And it can even double as a make-up remover!







Eyeliner and eyeshadows easily rubbed off.



Now for the stellar OxyMask!








Pardon me I'm trying to take artsy shots of me squeezing my mask out.



Here it goes!


For demonstration purposes, I shall only do the mask on half of my face:



Massaging OxyMask into my face in a circular manner as instructed.

This exfoliates dead skin, treats clogged pores and whitens!





And I must say I never expect a mask to be so fun!

After mere seconds the seemingly boring mask starts to FIZZLE!


Many many bubbles start surfacing, giving me a tickling sensation!
It's so amazing!

I even hopped into Mike's room and told him,
"See? It's has bubbles!! Can you see?? Can you see??"

Until the poor guy says "Oh yes",
I go back into my room, still amazed.

The bubbles popping excitedly



Here's a close up of the bubbles...

The mask stops fizzing after a short while, forming a cooling gel mask.
I suppose they finished their job of giving oxygen to my skin.



It's now time to wash!

The mask is supposed to have lifting purposes and make your lighten your labii folds. These are the creases at the sides of our mouths when we smile.

That is not obvious in the photo I took but CHECK OUT HOW MUCH FAIRER I AM on the right side of my face where I put the mask!

I won't believe it but I really look brighter and much more radiant on that side! Granted, my left side still has blusher on (strictly no foundation), but you can see that even my forehead lightened!

Not only that, my skin feels super soft, silky and supple!

If you think I photoshopped the effects in, do watch this clip and you will be thoroughly convinced:




Super amazing isn't it?

Polish off the routine with OxyAqua: Intensive Hydrating Essense and you are done!




This gel cream moisturiser is water-based and not oily at all. The perfect companion for the toner and mask!

Celebrate good skin with Camwhoring!

Here's me with some blusher put on. I can't live without blusher, sorry.





It's Beauty Talk's 1st BIRTHDAY!

So to celebrate this successful 1st year anniversary, you are given discounts!


OxySolution + OxyMask + OxyAqua used to go for $195.70, but now they are selling for $138!!


Almost $60 off the usual price
for the 3-pack deal!




Old customers must quickly grab a spare set and new customers should try it now while it's so cheap!


Beauty Talk products are available at all SA SA outlets.

p/s: Just to reillustrate, I didn't put foundation for all these pictures, though I did apply some blusher. Tiny blemishes or zits are also smoothed out, but I definitely did not use photoshop to create the lightened effect on the after photo!
