My Muse

Couple months back Cathy came to Singapore to visit his son

My partner :)

She came down to Singapore for almost a month

She's a very carefree person 

She told me she would love to get a make over on her face!

I was delighted to help her...

I was not sure whether I'd be any help for her

but it turns out not as bad as what I'd have thought!

I'd say I did an OK job and not over the top too

She's an european with very intense features

It is good to cool it down with the shadings and contours

It magically made her look softer and demure 

I did a fun make up for her in Singapore 

and I also did one when we were in BALI!

She looked amazing and happy with the outcome

What do you think?

Do you want to be my muse? :D

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)

Italian Cuisine @ Garibaldi

My partner and I visited amazing experience dining at Garibaldi

It is sure aren't good for the pocket!

But for the portion, it was just the right amount

In the end you weren't too full ;)

Which is an excellent excuse for a delicious dessert!

We were served a free testing (not sure what it is) vegs juice

I asked the waiter and he actually told me but I just couldn't remember it

The waiter recommended to try Brunello di Montalcino red wine

Parma ham with Romagna fried dough

Wagyu beef carpaccio with Wild rocket salad

Tajarin noodle pork ribs ragout

They are delicious but heavy to the stomach

Our favorite Molten lava chocolate cake

Have you been to Garibaldi? if so, how was your experience?

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

Raccoons as Pets?

Sometimes I wonder why on earth do people sell and buy Raccoon
It makes me wonder...
I'm not even sure if it was legal in Asia
Stumbled across a post which I find pretty disturbing
But I guess there are people who are adventurous enough to pet a Raccoon

What do you think? Do you think it's LEGAL?!
