Graceous Lash Extension

Hello there! It has been awhile... I'm back with some great review for the ladies!

Just 4 weeks ago, I visited Graceous for the first time to check out what is the fuss

Many ladies were talking about the natural looking lashes by the Japanese team

Do note that if you are a first timer, you'll receive a 20% discount

I paid less than SGD110 :)

I am a pretty satisfied customer knowing that I'm in a good hand

Graceous is located at Mohammad Sultan road and it is easy to locate

If you are lost, just use your GPS to track!

When I arrived, there were a number of ladies getting their lashes done

After mine was done (took about less than 2 hours or so), there was another lady waiting

If you ever think about doing this, it is best to make appointment


OK! I'm sure there are many of you would like to know what are the pros and cons

I was very excited to get them in the first place

One thing you need to know is that once you got them, you'll need to pay extra care

REAL GOOD CARE

It took me awhile to get use to the fact that my vision would be different from the usual

The reason why I did lash extension is to reduce using eye shadow to enhance my look

It helped with the lash extension, it made me look natural (don't mind the drawn brows) :)

For the past 4 weeks, I rarely use eye shadows and would just go out with brows and blushes on

I've read that some Bloggers find that the extension doesn't do much

Guess what, I believed that extensions are for less dramatic look in a GOOD WAY

Some says they want more dramatic...

They could have just buy fake lashes and put some mascara on it

I believed that would do the trick

As for extensions, they are not for you to do anything to it

I couldn't imagine some of the ladies would actually put mascara on extensions

Must be a hell of a job to remove the mascara :P

I took care of my extensions very well

Whenever I put on some light/brownish shadows, I would removed it with cotton buds

Don't forget to purchase an oil-free make up remover ;)

Don't forget to comb your lashes ;)

Try to remove excess water (after shower etc) with tissue paper and dab slowly

Avoid touching your lashes for no reasons :D

Am I going back for second round?

Ans: I don't think I would any time soon because they are pretty pricey (Touch-up is SGD100, That's insane)

Ans: It is a pain to take good care of it

Ans: You can't simply just RUB your eyes (I like to do that :))

Ans: You have to watch the way you sleep!

ANYWAYS!!!

Here are some photos from week 1 til week 3+

As you can see they looked pretty good (thank god I have double eyelids)

From the pictures you can tell that I really made efforts to maintain them well to last up to 3+weeks

The last photos from the 3rd collage shows disorganized lashes haha!

At the end of this lashes galore, I was too lazy to groom it

But I had a good time looking at my beautiful eyes for a short period of time :D

(My lash stylist is RIRI)

Affinity Yoga - Caroline Kristin and Mitzi (Amazing Teachers)

I've recently joined Affinity Yoga for their one-year membership
The classes are fun and I usually go during "off peak" hour
(When everybody goes off work)
I know the more the merrier but when it gets a bit too crowded,
It can be really irritating!
I went to yoga core once and the woman next to me was very intimidating
I was and still am a newbie

There are poses that requires more space and this woman put her foot on my mat
Imagine you were doing a "push up" pose that requires e.g:
Right leg crossing to left leg (Inward) I know it is difficult to picture it in your mind
Which means you need space to actually place your foot
But the class at Telok Ayer is pretty small that we didn't have that much space for that pose

While doing the push up pose, I had to look down at that woman's foot!
Which I find it really disturbing...
I know I don't need to complain about this situation
Just wondering if it is normal to see such incident.

Affinity @ River Valley are definitely better
Rooms are bigger and there are probably 3 class rooms
While Telok Ayer has only one class room.

The teachers are friendly and my favorites are Caroline, Kristin and Mitzi
I like teacher who are loud (talking wise) and gentle at the same time
Shows you how the poses were done to the newbies
Yoga core teacher (my first time), there were no instruction shown
I was very lost so I had to keep looking at others for the poses
I find it hard to cope and everybody was an expert to it

The 3 women I mentioned above gave really good instructions
Not just by telling you what to do but they carefully showed you
I'm looking forward to their classes again!

I hope you enjoy reading this blog

Namaste

Ippudo @ 333 Orchard Road

A picture tells a thousand words
I took 3 pictures (Only) when I visited Ippudo a week ago
To my enormous disappointment,
Ippudo has lost its name compared to my first visit 3 years ago

Ippudo used to be extremely delicious
I'd often want to go for MORE!
My last visit set me back... 
I ordered 2 pork bun (Yes, they are one of the famous dish!)
(Assorted buns available with price from SGD3+ and above)

When you ordered a starter, you'd expect it to be delivered first
Definitely not the ramen...
So, I had my ramen first and I had to ask for my buns from the waitress

They were delivered immediately after I asked for it
But it was such a disappointment that I had to take a photo just to show you
I am paying SGD3++ for a thin-not-even-a-slice pork in the bun
The buns were looking very unappealing that I had to just open it up into two!
And that was when I discovered the thin sliced pork
The buns are WAY BIGGER than the pork
It was like as If you are paying 3 dollar for a bun!
I asked the waiter to have a look and demanded for a change
And so he came back with one (the other one eaten by my partner, It was too late)
I looked at the piece...
OK, they added one more piece but there were more FATS than MEAT!
I took out the FATS out of the bun and the meat was pretty hard
God knows what happened to the good old Ippudo :(
It used to be so good!
Well, I had my usual AKAMARU TAMAGO
It still tasted the same :) Thank god!
Will I go back anytime soon?
Perhaps not... 
Maybe next year :)

Lesson for men

Just last saturday I went out with my girlfriend to have some drinks
We weren't in the club nor (exactly) the bar
There were a few available tables but some were reserved
So I picked the inner spot so we wouldn't be disturbed by passer-by

After 30 minutes chatting with my girlfriend
Two loser men approached out of no where and I was shocked
Bear in mind that there were many people around us...

One blonde (German) and one colombian

German was asking if they could join us on the table
I did not know what to say but both of us just replied you are welcome

We really just were shocked at that very moment not knowing what to say...

German talked to me but I was not interested whatsoever!

In my honest opinion:
No matter how good looking you are but when one man was drunk,
You looked so bad, you annoyed all the women and you are the embarrassment to mankind
You looked dumb, you looked stupid and you even sounded like an a**h**
You called me childish and mean and I've said nothing much

Why on earth do I need to entertain this man?
I'm not childish because I refused to share my thoughts with you!
I'm not mean just because I dislike talking to you
Because whatever that's coming out of that mouth were drunk stupid talk!
So stop wasting my time.
That man managed to boil me up but I tried to keep it calm
Because man is a man...
I've no guarantee what's in their bloody mind at that time

After that incident...

I told my girlfriend to bail as he went to the loo
And another incident followed up (=.=")

An english man was F**ked-up and I could see from afar
But I pretended not knowing he was "There".

He approached and you guys would know how it felt for me to deal with D*****bags!

I didn't really want to talk much and I replied briefly
As little as I could!
He then called me "Arrogant" and he quotes "I know you're good looking"
"But you don't need to be arrogant"
Geez, I said "What the hell did I do or say to be arrogant and you don't even know me"
And he said "You don't need to do anything, it tells from your face"

I wasn't happy then...
I just refused to talked to him and I just shook my head and he left

SO TO MEN AND WOMEN:
Though you are somewhat attractive
You may not be as attractive as when you are sober
Don't even approached a man or woman when you are f***ked
No one likes annoying strangers
The word strangers are pretty much it
You don't need to add anything else
I don't hate strangers that are sober but I just hate those who are drunk as a skunk!

Advise needed over a 10 dollar matter

Living around Dhoby Ghaut area in Singapore is good.
But what's good when your janitor/cleaner starts to ask to borrow money from you?
Ok, I'm telling this story to hear some advise: Good or Bad.
It is not about generosity, stinginess or stupidity.

I came back from my daily routine aka Grocery shopping.
As usual I always have my ipod (earplugs) on.
Every time whenever I bumped into the man, I'd take one side off and said "Hello".
For this ONE TIME, he replied something apart from "Hello".
I couldn't really hear him so I took both of my earplugs off to hear what he was saying.
And so he quote "Can I borrow 10 dollar?"
Just like that!
I was in shocked (of course) because I haven't had such situation with janitor/cleaner.

There was no reason why he was asking to lend him my money.
(Not out of pity) I lend him the 10 dollar and he said to return it tomorrow.
Today is the 22nd of November and he asked for it on the 20th November.
Which means he didn't do what he told me on that very day... To return it on the next day.

Alright, it is only 10 dollar... I know it's not a big deal but money don't grow on trees.
Not to me!
I don't know if I should talk to the management for this kind of behavior.
I don't know if he did that to anybody else or was it just me (Unlucky)?
I don't want to be the one who's looking for him to ask for my 10 dollar back.
At the same time, I don't want to be the bad guy to talk to the management about him.
But I wish the management would be aware of his actions and wrong doing towards tenants!

I've been very nice to this janitor/cleaner for the past 2 years since I moved here.
I gave him loads of clothes that I don't wear much and said to give it to his wife or family.
I gave him my big Care Bear and said to give it to his daughter (if he had any)!
I gave him curry laksa paste I got from a supermarket which I don't eat.

Sometimes I don't know what he did to all the stuffs I gave to him.
Did he sell it off as a second hand items?????
After this money borrowing issue, I doubt I'd want to help him as much as I used to.
I felt like he's taking an advantage from me just because I'm cool with him.

10 dollar today, who knows 100 dollar the next time around?
I don't want to be paranoid over 10 dollar but I need advise.
Anybody???

Eye Mo VS. Optrex

How often do you use eye drop for your tired eyes from wearing contact lenses?
What brand of eye drop you would often use and find a comfort to your eyes?
Eyes are the most important sense of organ so here's my experience...
I've recently purchased Optrex eye drop from Guardian.
It is not for lenses but for dry and tired eyes.
I started to use eye drop this year and I was never the person who would really appreciate eye drops.
Before Optrex, I was using Eye Mo and I find it comfortable to my eyes.
On the other hand, Optrex gave a very different sensation...
It was so different that Optrex gave a burning sensation.
It was like as soon as you dropped one drop into your eye ball,
You'd right away blink your eyes because of the burning sensation.
Where as Eye Mo gave no such sensation but comfort to the eyes.

I went to search on google to find out whether it is a normal effect.
Sad to say what I found from google search:
That it may or may not happen to everyone,
It depends on individuals eyes,
Some may accept Optrex and some may not!
And it was one of the side effect of Optrex.

I'm not too sure if anybody had any trouble with Eye Mo,
But for me, Eye Mo in Indonesia is selling very affordable than in Singapore.
It is about SGD5 in Singapore where as Indonesia is selling roughly SGD1+.
I guess the next shopping I'd do is to buy EYEMO(S)!!! ;)

Tessere Poster


It's amazing to see half of my face in this picture
The picture was taken when I was a little younger
I first discovered this picture in Robinsons Department Store
This photo was taken by a Malaysian photographer I met in Penang
He took a few of my pictures and today I see it hang in the department store
How cool is that! ;)

Phuket Trip and My Beauty Diary

I'm super excited to be going away for a little vacation in Phuket.
The last time I visited Phuket was 2+ years ago.
Little did I know that November is the rainy season in Asia,
But I hope that Phuket will turn out sunny :)

I'll be visiting for 5 nights at Kamala Area!
I've always loved Kamala and not really a fan of Patong (The so called "Busy town")
Today, I went out to buy beauty supplies for the trip.
Knowing that I didn't get baggage fee for my flight,
I decided to get a small Biore make up remover.
They are good for short vacation!
Followed by Nivea Med Protection with SPF15.
I will be needing that for what may come under the sun ;)
Last but not least, Mask supplies by My Beauty Diary.
They are having a very good deal at Watson.
Limited edition *Anniversary set comes in 10+2 sheets for only SGD15.90
There are 2 type of boxes you can choose.
The one I purchased are more for Combi to Oily skin.
The other one are more for Combi to Dry with lots of Moisturize!

I hope it helps and better get yours before it's sold out!
FYI, I was drawn by the packaging more than what's in the box.

Have a good day readers!

Incident on Board

I don't know how many of you have encountered this incident where you lost something in the plane. I've encountered once myself and I tracked "Him" down on my own.

It was a short distance flight from Indonesia to Singapore. I brought some pastries all the way from Indonesia for my friends. I carried them with me all the way to the plane and placed it on top of the seat. Little did I know "Anybody" would took them away from me.

It never came to my mind that anybody would want to snatch pastries. So I never really paid much attention to people on board at that time. When we landed safely and I was waiting to get out of the plane, I realized that my package went missing! And there was a small plastic bag left over there in the cabin. In my mind, I was thinking... How could that person be mistaken by his/her own "plastic bag"!

I didn't think much and just rushed out of the plane. But before that, I was actually asking the stewardess about it but they didn't help. There was nothing they can do to help. So, I rushed out anxiously and all I have in mind was to take back my pastries. After all, I've promised my friends I'd bring them!

I had no time to even stop to the restroom and I rushed all the way to the immigration. As soon as my visa was done, I went to the belt and there was no one yet! I thought maybe this man/woman must still be around somewhere. Actually, I saw this man from afar while I had my visa done at the immigration. He looked very calm and collected. He was walking very slowly... I sorta knew that man was carrying my package! But yea... I just waited by the belt to see anybody came out of the immigration section.

To my surprised, I saw a man approaching from a distance. I remembered how my own package looked like! And of course I remembered the flavor of the pastries!!! I walked up to him (somewhat I was pissed and relieved at the same time). I told him that "I believed that plastic bag you are holding, belongs to me". He replied in broken english "It's mine". But I continued "I know what flavor was in those package, they are mocha and pineapple". He gave up instantly after what I said. He passed the bag to me and I told him there's one plastic bag still on board:
"If you are still looking for it, it is better for you to go up and get them while it's still there".
He said "oh ok ok".
I was very happy but puzzled at the same time because he didn't go back up to get his stuff. He seemed to not know where to go : Up or OUT the hall?!

Up until now, I'm still puzzled!  Was he trying to make me switched package with him? Was he thinking I'd be dumb enough to take his bag and we would exchanged later on? What's more important, What was in the bag?! Could it be illegal stuffs in there too?

I was mad because this man was trying to do something bad!And I was one of the victim!

Since then, I realized that after alighting from the plane (Indonesia-Singapore), The system were tighter than usual but the people are very nice and friendly. As soon as you got off from the plane, there were security check before you get to the immigration. To me, I find it good because it is for good cause. At the same time, I wish cabin crews could monitor but it would be impossible. Who would have known which bag belongs to whom.

On the other event, my friend witnessed the same incident. A family of 4 from Europe travelled to Penang with Silkair. From what I heard, They bought liquors from Singapore Duty Free Shop. As soon as they landed, they were looking for their goods. Sadly, It was gone! - Someone took them away.

Advise to everyone: Even though you've placed your goods on top of the seat cabin, they are not guaranteed safe. let alone if it was far from your seat. It happened sometimes when there were no more space available so the cabin crew would have placed them further up or down. Every time when everybody gets up, keep your eyes around to see if anybody took your belongings. Better be safe than be sorry!

*Once I told a cabin crew to keep an eye of my suitcase because she requested to place my bag up front  due to lack of space on my side*

What's your story on board?

TimHoWan Dimsum @ Plaza Singapura




I'm of the crazy queue to have Dim Sum in Singapore
It was opened awhile ago and the queue is still massively long
We waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to the table
Yes, It was a long queue!
We often wonder what's the fuss is all about

So why not try it?

I find it over-rated after tasting the food
You would want to try just to see why there are so many of them queue-ing 

Over-rated doesn't mean it's not good
The food in TimHowan are good
Just not to the extend where it's worth killing my time to just queue
When we finished our food in less than 30 minutes

The buns are the famous dish in the restaurant
Maximum 3 buns perperson
Glutinous rice was good with a lot of meat filling - 5bucks a plate
Chicken feet sauce was good too, i'd say better than the cathay dimsum
Prawn dumpling was good but not the best
Spinach, garlic and mushroom dumpling wasn't my favorite


There were 2 dish that I left out
Pork rib and steam beancurd wrapped with prawn
Pork rib had too much fatty in it
It was too much after that little dish
We initially wanted rice roll but mistakenly ordered the beancurd prawn

Normally, chinese restaurant would listed "Rice roll instead of Vermicelli"
I did not try the beancurd wrap as it was supposed to be better FRIED

How did you enjoy your experience in TimHoWan and the Queue? ;)

Spinach Garlic and Mushroom dumplings

The famous Char Siu Buns

The fillings

Chicken feet

Glutinous rice with meat (Pork maybe) fillings

Prawn dumplings

Group Therapy Cafe @ 49 Duxton Road


Don't they just look delicious?
Picture 1 til the end tells you how much I enjoyed my food
I'm an egg benedict lover
As you can see I had a pretty terrible poached egg from my last visit at a French Cafe,
(Read my previous review)
To my surprise, I enjoyed nicely poached eggs at Group Therapy Cafe

They are a small cafe and we made reservation before we head down
They called to tell us that our table is ready!
As we all know that in Singapore on Sunday is pretty hard to find a place for brunch
A GOOD BRUNCH that is!
Group Therapy Cafe was nice to even call us :)

We head down right away with cab and it wasn't hard to spot the place
It is also very close to Maxwell Food Court at Chinatown

Group Therapy Cafe is not a big cafe but it was nice to be there
Waitresses and Waiters are friendly and had our table ready once we arrived
Their egg benedict comes with a thick toast
Very different from others but it was good!
Hollandaise sauce was good
Went perfectly with a cup of Jasmine Tea
A perfect sunday brunch I must say...

LOOK how clean my plate was!? ;)

I'd rate Group Therapy Cafe a 5 out of 5 *Bing Bing Bing*
Never hesitate to go back for another group brunch with friends!

Tonkotsu King Ramen @ Orchid Hotel

Tonkotsu King Ramen is located in Tanjong Pagar at Orchid Hotel
I've never heard of the famous King ramen before until 3 recent weeks ago!
I met a girl from Japan and I'm a fan of Ramen
So I was wondering where in Singapore I could try ramen apart from Ippudo
She suggested to go to Tonkotsu King Ramen 

Wanted to know more, I googled it and found good reviews too
I was a tad nervous about the queue-ing 
and also the part where it is a small shop
which clearly means you need to queue for a long time!

I was not wrong about it!!!
Last night I decided to have a go and try my luck (bloody friday)
It was already a long queue at 7.30pm
Waited for almost an hour I must say

Question is: Do I like it?
.
.
.
I'd still prefer Ippudo a whole lot more!
It's not because of the place where it is located
Tonkotsu King does not have the delicious broth soup compared to ippudo
The taste was a bit too salty for me...
Apart from the negative side, I loved the pork
They are tender but some part are a bit hard

The shop is small, yes!
So small that it's pretty much untidy and dirty in the restaurant
There were dirty (supposedly clean) used tissue in the tissue box
I wanted to use one but it was used! (YUCK)
It's like a rush hour inside
As soon as you sit, your food were served right away (which is good)

I think I'd just go back to ippudo
After all, they have a very delicious pork bun and more choices to have!

I'd also give 2.5 out of 5 for Tonkotsu King Ramen

French brunch at O'Batignolles Singapore

Don't we all love to have a brunch in the weekend?
I haven't had it in a while now and just last weekend I managed to go to one!
O'Batignolles is a Bar and a Restaurant located in Gemmill Lane (Club Street)

We ordered two set of Brunch A la Parisienne at a price of SGD29
The set comes with Two eggs with a choice of poached or scrambled
With bacon, english muffin and salad
French loves bread!
We also had a basket of bread:
Croissant, chocolate bread and baguette
With a choice of either coffee or tea (I had green rose jasmine tea)
It also comes with Orange Juice!

Ok! Here comes the comments...
.
.
.
I love how it makes you feel like you are in france
(Apart from the road side and humidity in Singapore)
I also love the preparation of the food
We had a pretty small table for two and it didn't fit the whole stuff on the table
First, they served the tea and juice and came a long the assorted bread
We didn't get to the finish line and they served the biggest plate
They could have waited for us to get the bread done...
It wasn't a big issue but something could have changed

We had both poached eggs
As you can see from the picture, the eggs weren't poached nicely
They were close to being cook 
The egg yolks were supposed to break and melt once you cut
But they were still and nothing ooze out

To our surprised, 2 sets of egg from my plate and my partner were the same
I only managed to finish just one...
My comments : If your bar serves mainly poached egg,
and if you served bad poached egg,
How do you want your customers to return?
I'm sure a lot of people would love to eat poached egg for brunch

I would love to return only when they have skillfully master how to make poached egg
Apart from that, it was all good :)

P.S: Would also preferred a different dressing for the salad ;)
All the best!

Autore Pearl with Goldheart Necklace

I've finally purchased the necklace today for my beautiful pearl I bought in Lombok
Do you know that Lombok (Indonesia) is famous for their pearls?
Little did I know I was recommended to have a look at Autore
Autore is basically from Australia and you can check them HERE


They were amazing but expensive
Good pearl don't come cheap!
I only purchased the pearl itself
There was no chain and no hook for the necklace
Plain jane!
I often thought the pearl I bought was a little smaller
Everyday I looked at it, it seemed to be bigger!
I got the hook done in Paris
Little did I know that jewelry in Paris are expensive
The hook cost me EUR180
I was recommended to go to Myrtille Beck to get it done
Apparently not many shop in Paris wanted to do what I requested
But I was lucky that my friend's mother are a good friend with the owner
Myrtille Beck is a small jewelry boutique in Paris
Check them up HERE if you are interested to know more
They have beautiful jewelries

So... VOILA!
.
.
.
Isn't it just beautiful?

I spent SGD158 for the necklace itself at GoldHeart in Plaza Singapura
I was very happy with it because my pearl has now complete its look!

What do you think?

Rubi - Jelly Shoes

We are all obsessed with Melissa Jelly shoes aren't we?
But today I'm talking about Melissa-look-alike shoes!

.
.
.

2 weeks ago I stumbled upon Rubi at Ion Orchard
Not knowing that they are doing Jellies now!
I've not been around Singapore therefore I'm kinda lost with the IN thing
We all know that Melissa Jellies are way too expensive
After all, they are one hella plastic shoes
That's THAT! and nothing much really...
Imagining someone like me who likes to buy, buy and buy more
You can't always have the best brand 
Don't be afraid, Rubi has the same design as Melissa jellies too!
Melissa's cost above SGD100++ while Rubi cost me only SGD14.90 (NETT)
They are (i'm sure) as comfortable as Melissa's
Rubi's Jelly comes in 3 shades: Red, Transparent and I couldn't remember the other
Either gold or black
I fell in love with the Transparent with glitters
They sparkle!
I was told by my partner that he used to wear this design and of the same quality when he was a kid
Back in France, people often wear them to go to the sea
Avoiding to step on the tiny rocks etc
What a way to take care of them feet aye?
What's your Jelly?

Louis Vuitton Alma GM in Vernis

I've had this bag for sometime and never really had the chance to bring it out. I even thought of swapping it with someone who's willing to do so. This bag has been with me in good care and it's in a mint condition. Always wrapped with its own LV cloth. What can I say right,  she was my baby. I remember getting her in Jakarta, I could even remember the price and it cost me a bomb! The price was Rp.30, 000, 000 to be exact, in Singapore Dollar approximately 3, 800.

Can you imagine what are the prices now? Designer goods are now growing and so does the price. Pre-owned Alma is now going from SGD 3, 000. If anyone's interested in having a good condition Louis Vuitton bag, DROP me a message.  Preferrable buyer from Singapore :)

I've been away...

I've been away for more than a month to Paris and a detour in Geneva. 
Sorry I haven't been able to update for the past one month as I've been busy and couldn't find the right time to blog. 
I just returned a week ago and I had so many things to do. 
I moved in to a new unit in our private apartment and there were cleaning and dusting.
I went to IKEA to get some new furnitures for all my bits and stuffs. 
Without them, I had no idea how I'd start my cleaning and dusting.

So far, the new unit is a tad clean... I wouldn't say spotless!
I've had a terrible jetlag from my trip. 
I couldn't sleep in the night and I was sleeping in the morning at 6 or even 9am. 
It's terrible!!!
Since then, I'm always tired for no reason - Lazy to even start to clean up.

More about my trip in Europe, Stay tune! ;)

Wine Connection - Cheese Bar

How much do you like the new interior design of the new Wine Connection Cheese Bar at Robertson walk? What about the new machine to melt the cheese when you are having a raclette dinner?

I love the new concept with tons of  cheese on display in the fridge. There are so many but goat and blue cheese are my least favorite. Apart from the nicely decorated cheese in the bar, it is also a little more cozy compared to the previous one.

I mentioned about the machines, I was pretty unhappy with the inconvenient new machine they provided us. As you can see from the picture of the melting  cheese, we have to place a plate underneath and let it melt as you munch. They melted rather quickly! On top of the cheese that looks like a clip is the heater. They are very hot!!! Yes, I did not enjoy the new raclette concept. The old version was like a pan with mini tray like a pizza knife to allow you to place the cheese that was provided in thin pieces. Of course,  less heaty too!

Apart from that,  old raclette used to be free flow for the price of SGD 25++ and now SGD45++ without free flow. They boys were still hungry and  there goes the new *Menu*. FYI, one block of cheese is for 2 pax.

How do you like the new Wine Connection Cheese Bar?

Fat Cow Japanese Restaurant

I have never been to a fine dining ala Japanese until I was proposed to try out Fat Cow. The name is indeed catchy, bear in mind that fat cow is no ordinary Japanese restaurant. I don't know if I'd call it fine dining but the fact that the service was good and that the price are pretty expensive.

Fat cow is located at Camden Hospital (if I were right) and it wasn't too far from orchard road. If you fancy a juicy red meat price range starting from SGD 89++, don't forget to try it out as some of their meat are special from new zealand and grass fed! We spent around SGD 350++ 2pax.

I really had a great time in the restaurant and would love to go back for another fresh cut! When will it be??? ♥

Osim uSnooZ Neck Massage/Pillow

I'm not really a Voucher/Deals person but I have to admit that last week I was just googling around and I stumbled upon this advertisement. I didn't know that they would actually do an amazing thing. For whatever reason, this advertisement caught my eyes. 

I was determined to get this item as I'll be going away for a 3 weeks holiday in Europe (hopefully it will all work out as planned). At the back of my mind, I know this product could help me in many ways. When I went for holiday in the states last year, I had a terrible time to sleep because I really need a bed to actually sleep and I'm a very light sleeper etc (My bad I couldn't afford a first class). 

Can you imagine to stumbled on such great advertisement on uSnooz Massage Wrap for Neck by OSIM, was I going to pass it on and go for a long yet boring flight without this pink wrap? NO WAY! Clock was ticking, I had only 45 minutes to make my final decision. 
Ok, so why do I need to make decision when the price was amazingly cheap? 
  • I'm not working like everybody else
  • I need an authorization to buy the item
  • I have to make sure the item is legit
  • I have to think twice whether I'll be using it or not
Normal price selling at SGD68 and groupon price were selling at SGD38. This is not just like every traveling neck pillow. It is versatile, you can use it as a neck pillow, Massage (with battery) and you can even use it as a pillow on board! 


Tell me it was a good buy. Good items like this come once in a while so if you happened to see it, grab it while they still have it. Good luck and Enjoy online shopping!

P.S: Best part about it is that you actually pick up the item at Osim shop at Plaza Singapura itself, therefore it is LEGIT and Authentic ;).
