Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to anyone who is reading this!!

How did you celebrate your Christmas eve or going to celebrate your Christmas this year?

Well same old thing for me.. Celebrating Christmas over at my aunt place ever since I was like a baby? We use to exchange gifts and the little ones will get presents which was my favourite part! Being an aunt now means buying presents instead of receiving.. which is also fun actually!

I really miss spending my Christmas in the US cause the weather is cold and everyone is sooooo into Christmas! Pretty lights everywhere and gigantic Christmas trees with fantastic decorations in everyone's houses! Could still remember I played with snow for the first time in Tucson two years ago on Mt. Lemon with my sis and kids and friends! Definitely a memorable one.

Do make your Christmas an enjoyable and memorable one!!

HoHoHo!!

Envie de neuf

Well the more you earn the more you wanna spend your money.. Hm.. So this year's bonus for civil servants is really not bad as compared to last year which was super stingy.

Decided to get myself something to pamper myself.. I have never really believed in spending too much money on skin care products but this time its different.

I got to know this brand Envie de neuf during the Taiwan trip with Hengpei and we actually bought something from the pushy sales lady but it was a good buy.. We bought the gold exfoliation wash for a price of 1 for 1. If I remember correctly it was 40SGD. The sales lady pushed us with loads of stuff but in the end we only bought that and got a free eye mask.

Isetan Westgate outlet just opened in the beginning of this December and they were having sales. I saw this brand again in Isetan and was super tempted to try their Fullerene C60 Youth recruit complex. This was a rave in Taiwan by Nu ren wo zui da and there are pretty good reviews of it. BUT BUT BUT it is really quite expensive. The first day I went there I didn't buy but I gave it a lot of thinking and I decided to go back and buy it. So I actually spent quite a lot on the moisturizer and I also bought their serum which is the Idebenone Silk essence. The sales lady was really nice because the Christmas package they were giving was not enticing at all.. She changed all the products into ampoules for me. This should not happen but she changed it and I got the EGF and Pure hyaluronic acid ampoules. Each ampoule should be used for 14 days once opened. One for whitening and one for moisturizing.

So I just started using the Fullerene C60 and I am starting to love it! Haven't use enough to really do a good review on.. But what I can say is... I just started using laneige and after the toner I use their balancing emulsion and also the water bank cream. These leave my skin kind of oily after a while even though I use really little of it. I stopped the waterbank cream and applied this Fullerene C60 last night and today and it is super different!

My skin is totally not oily for the whole night and I can feel that it absorbs the stuff quite well. Today I did the same thing before my make up and my face was feeling really good for the whole day. I shall use this a bit longer and see how it goes! I haven't start using the essence yet so will do another review of it soon!
Going Taiwan to see if there are good buys on this brand hee!

So here is a picture of the products I got!

 

And this is the Fullerene C60 I am talking about! Anyway this bottle is the 130ml which is limited edition because they usually only sell the 100ml. And the 130ml is now going on the same price with the 100ml at west gate Isetan. Till when I am not sure.. But this is really quite awesome =D

First post!~Yeah!!

Been blogging for years but I feel like starting a new blog for the year 2014.

The first post will be all about my new year resolution and review of my year 2013!

So here goes...

2013...
1) I started off the year by going to Bangkok for the 2nd time (after the December trip) in January with my PE classmates! It was a fulfilling trip because we really shopped till we drop!

2) Started my PE course semester 2 and I took what I love to play which was badminton but I didn't get to take track n field. Got swimming module instead. However I felt that I really improved a lot on my swimming skills. This semester really got me pumped up!

3) In march, dar, two of his friends and I went Bangkok again. It was my third time but for another purpose. Going Bangkok with two guys not = to shopping. This time we brought the two other friends to fish at Bungsamrun which we went during December. I got fitter due to my tough semester modules and fished up I think 3 Mekong catfishes this time. The fight for this species here is unforgettable.

4) I visited the SEA aquarium for the first time in April on the weekend before I went for OBS. Dar accompanied me because it was suppose to be my birthday trip. And he prepared a surprise birthday party which I have already kind of guessed it. But well it was a pleasant surprise..Only thing regretful was that I didn't take any photos with the cake because I shared it with his friend whose birthday was the day itself.

5) I spent my birthday in OBS! oh yes.. I had a 5D camp in OBS. it was actually kinda fun because I had a great group of friends who really worked well together and took care of each other well. It was really a great experience. I get to not bath for like one whole day.. hahaha..

6) After OBS was HengPei and my first ever overseas trip together! and we went to Taiwan for 9D!! It was definitely an enjoyable and life changing experience. Made me totally fall in love with Taiwan!! except for the mosquitoes and the day my eye got swollen.. >.<

7) After Taiwan was dar and my furthest overseas trip together. We went Hong Kong together for the first time! Hong Kong wasn't as fun as Taiwan and we went only 5D4N. Things were way more expensive and the accommodation was freaking small and squeezy. Although I bought some face stuff from their SaSa and the most enjoyable part of the trip for me was the Ocean World Theme Park. Super awesome roller coaster rides! love it! Oh forget to mention.. We did spend a day travelling around Macau too! and it totally reminded me of Vegas! I totally want to go back to vegas some day.. Maybe for honey moon??

8)Then coming back to reality.. It was the start of the first teaching practicum for me which was only 5 weeks but I had a great learning experience. Was posted back to my previous contract school hence everything was not new to me. It was so nice to see all the caring teachers and get to learn from them again. I had an awesome TP1 due to the friends I have met through the 5 weeks! We made the whole staffroom so noisy and hip!

9) Then it was the start of Year 2 1st semester. And this time I got to take Tennis and Dance. Had a awesome coach for tennis who is a Korean but super super cute one! He is totally cool and friendly. Dance was fun because of my group mates! we totally made the whole jingle bell rock song cool!

10) Went to Pioneer secondary for one of my modules to teach and the students there are actually pretty nice!

11) Had a 3D2N trip to Rompin this year for Sailfish! and I finally get to fish a sailfish after two years. It is definitely another fish to have an awesome fight with and taking a photo with it is an honour! =D

12) Oh ya.. I started my Biology modules this semester and got to know even more people around school. This time they are all the super crazy biology teachers. And the lecturers were nice people too! This semester was kind of crazy but everything ended smoothly.. including the results phew..

13) I started my driving lessons!! Like finally... N my practical date is booked. It is on the 14 feb valentine's day next year -.-" haha!!

14) Another Bangkok trip and this time with my great buddy Hengpei again! weee.. I brought her around BKK just like my second home and we ate all the great food. Two buffets k! hahaha..

15) I am about to end my year with an awesome Christmas and a long Taiwan trip again but this time is with my dar... Its a 10D trip to places like Kenting which I haven't gone there yet. Will be counting down over there though..

So this should be the end of my 2013

Some new year resolutions I came up for 2014
1) Get my driving license
2) Complete my last semester at NIE well and enjoy the last few weeks of it!
3) Be an awesome teacher at whatever school I am posted to!
4) Save more money for my new house
5) Exercise and eat more healthily
6) Spend more time with Milo and OrhBin
7) Take better care of my skin! =P
8) Have a good holiday to Korea / Australia!

I guess these are some stuff that I just tot that I should do in 2014 and I shall work for it! =)
