Nikon 1 V1 and J1 Launch in SG

2012-01-17T11:00:00.000+08:00

Singapore Bloggers at Launch: Nikon 1, The first of it's kind

Where I met the ultra baby pink Nikon for the first time, lo and behold sweethearts!

Nikon 1 J1, a statement for girly chicks that are into photography:
"With the Nikon 1’s blazing fast auto-focus and continuous shooting capabilities,

you can turn simple motions into breathtaking images"

Watch out boys!
(Just kidding- as usual they have it in black, white, silver and even red for you too)

As you can tell, I'm already snapping away with the pink beauty...

While of course, still paying attention to the briefing on it's fabulous functions (Pink and awesome) :

With my matching barbie pink lens:

Off we go~ On our "Nikon J1- Experience Trip!"

Celeste; My crazy companion of the trip~

I didn't even have to adjust the shutter speed.

This smart camera automatically detects and switches the mode accordingly:

Boy, do I love the vibrant colors captured:

(Hate it when the photos defer from what I see on the camera.

I'm mega pleased that it turned out to be exactly the same as on screen~)

Dedicated bloggers at work;
painstakingly snapping the best of J1 to share with their readers:

Cannot lose out!!! -Blogger's spirit:
(Here are my humble shots of the Famous Taiwanese Planking Girls 仆街少女)

Positioning not very good that day.

But here's a stunning shot that I grabbed from them:

"Planking at Little India"

We Singaporean Bloggers have got our own trend too! May I present: "Seating"
(Credits: HollyJean and Clara)

I like it best to attend events with familiar faces, gf sabrina and clara:

This is my first time getting involved with so many activities at an event!
Really putting the camera into great use:

Thank you Nikon, it was a pleasure:

New style, new look for CNY

2012-01-15T20:21:00.003+08:00

My haul at H&M

Storewide up to 70% sales, how can I resist filling up the shopping bag?

Although there isn't much apparels suitable for my Chinese New Year mood,

I went ahead to grab these great steals anyways:

Beautiful Clutches- My fashion weakness

The stocks ran so quickly, I bagged both colors, one for my gf; Sabrina!

Comes with a thin gold chain for sling and in precious suede material, these cannot be missed:

(Perfect for my color blocking style; I'm currently into)

Safari-style hat and cap to match my afterwork or weekend looks.

When I have a little more time to play dress up, I'd like to go all out from head to toe:

And of coure, these pair of Jeffrey Campbell's style boots from H&M

is the latest addition to my never ending footwear collection! Super comfortable:

Along with my ever changing fashion style's

Affliction Fashion Show

2012-01-13T15:04:00.002+08:00

Modeling for one of my favorite brand's fashion show

After our dry run (rehearsal),

we proceeded with our makeup and hairdo in good hands:

My transformation:

Eye candies time!

The babes ready to rock and roll with our fabulous make up artiste at the back:

Woohoo!~ Changed for set:

Final photo with some the fellow models before the show begins!

At the backstage, ready to make our appearance for the anticipating crowds:

Let's check out the audience in the club, awaiting for us!

Here we go!

You've seen most of the models above; I'm actually the 7th one,

but I cleared theirs first so that from now on, it's just gonna be me :X

Just kidding.. Here's some pretty good shots of the others:

Some of my sweetest supporters, my beloved ones ♥:

I pulled the gfs up on stage for a photo with me!

And more of my power shots by Max:

Great Job Affliction's Models! ♥

Lovely Homely Christmas 2011

2012-01-07T19:59:00.001+08:00

Revealing the Winner of

"Vivi-style's Hair Tutorial Giveaway"!

This time, I decided to pick the lucky one with a random draw generator.

Contest ended on 12/12/11, comments after that wasn't included for the draw :)

CONGRATS to Hilary Ang

You've won yourself the 'Elite Model Look' Hair Curler from Rowenta!

Dropped you a facebook message for your collection already- lucky girl ♥

Sweethearts that didn't win this time, please don't be disappointed.

I still have many more gifts to give away! 2 more hair curlers and lots of makeup.

My apologies for the late update on Christmas, was extremely swamped up with my new job.

You probably don't know, I've been full time blogging for a year already.

Being in a corporate job now requires quite a bit of adjustment.

But all's good, I'm more or less getting used to it. So no worries, I wouldn't neglect my blog!

♥ ♥ ♥

Back to my Christmas celebration!

It was simple, nothing of the extravagance sort, but just as we love it.

My first time experiencing a domestic-style festive celebration.

Our personal chef whipping up a delectable spread for the night:

And we have a hungry Jack in his Christmas Hat, exhibiting his love for this merry season:

The special menu:

First up, not on the list's a surprise prepared by Jordon, Parma Ham with Melon!

Super easy but impressive~ Squeeze some lemon juice on them and get ready for a mix of sensational explosion in your mouth!

Garden Salad with fish roe and fat slices of sashimi!

Self-made cream of mushroom-in-chunks soup! Even better than restaurant's standards:

Unfortunately, the Prawns Aglio Olio didn't meet my expectation because they bought the angel hair accidentally.

I'm very particular when it comes to Aglio Olio; huge fan!

But it's fine, because I'm quite full from the first few dishes by this time :X

Here's the bf's first attempt with Turkey! Surprisingly better than just being edible:

The Turkey's so tough, no wonder people only have it once a year.

Probably my first and last experience with it.

I have no idea why, but since young I had this weird impression that log cakes taste terrible.

I guess it's because Winnie's birthday's on Christmas and my parents would get her a birthday cake instead, and they decided to brain wash me that log cakes are terrible so that I wouldn't ask for it?

Lol, only this 2011 that I gave it a try and realized it was pretty much just like chocolate ice cream!

Presents unveiling time~

Lots of gifts under the beautiful Christmas Tree!

Bf's present from me arrived late, so you wouldn't see it here.

I used to get Xmas presents for my gfs too.

But there was once when some cheapskates decide to take with no exchange, that I stopped this culture.

Pardon the ugly green masking tapes 'cause the boys ran out of adhesive tapes:

Our baby boy Jordon received an uber adorable Domo Passport Holder

from the BF!

While little Jack received an E-ciggerate from Jordon, how nice!

JM got just what he needed, Alcohol Mixer from the BF:

And it's my turn to unwrap the much anticipated gift from the BF:

Love it!!!

My spanking new pink colored android tablet:

Jordon got me these unique earphones for better hearing pleasure,

while watching videos on my new toy:

Guess what the BF receives from Jordon that got him all excited?

A clock that he chose for himself just so that he can wake up for school. LOL

Drama Mama only... Like a gay:

Think I'm quite over pampered this Xmas (Good Karma)

Even Auntie Susan got me shopping vouchers to get what ever I want!

After which, we proceeded with our all time favorite past time:

Then the boys suggested Risks... OH LORD is this game draggy.

It went all the way till dawn breaks and we still had no final winner o.O

Last but not least, ending my Xmas post with the cutest note book ever; Jordon gave to me!

You were given life; it is your duty to find something beautiful within life,

no matter how slight. I hope you're happy too ♥

Winnie’s Birthday Celebration

2012-01-03T00:41:00.001+08:00

Running low on ideas for special occasions?

MBS, clubs, chalets, some common places to throw birthday parties –uninspiring
What beats a classic villa when it comes to your grand 21st?

Good O’Sentosa “Capella”; during the seasonal promotion was unbelievably priced at just $700.

Her Theme: “Wedding-style”

Make a pretty guest log as a keepsake of special moment:

I don’t know why, but helium balloons seems like a must for all girls’ 21st party?
Whatever it’s for, it’s definitely a good cam-whoring prop:

But of course, being the queen comes with bodyguards on your significant day:

Food, games and drinks keep the night on-going:

Most importantly..
You need your behind-the-scenes extraordinaire to help you with the snaps (professional & candid):

Because a picture’s worth a thousand words, I shall leave you with these impressive photos:

Then we come to the most exciting moment; main highlight of the day:
“Revealing cake of the century”

WOAH!!!

This spectacular 3 tier cake was specially chosen and requested by yours truly!
Corresponding to her flying career, the cake depicts the scenery of London,
a stewardess on top of a plane holding on to a pink Chanel 2.55! How cute~

I didn’t go for the typical boring princessy cake, because I thought it’s cool that the cake represents herself :)

LOL. Check out her expression.
We had a great laugh over the magic re-lighting candle provided by the cheeky bakery shop owner!
The birthday girl had a tough time trying to blow it off; we were teasing about her “blowing skills”:

Everyone’s so happy with the cake!
Unlike the usual fondant cake, I specifically requested for it to be made of sponge cake :)

Thanks to Vegan Cupcakery for customizing the cake according to my special instructions!

Online Bakery Shop: http://vegan-cupcakery.com/
Moto: At Vegan Cupcakery, they bake according to your style and health preference
(with or without butter and eggs; it’s possible!)

Here’s a picture that best describes the cake: “Heavenly”
(Candid and true, I assure you)

They even baked us complimentary cookies! Super buttery, my favourite.
I can’t stop raving, seriously, not just great design but GREAT SERVICE TOO!

Order your personalized cake here: http://vegan-cupcakery.com/
(SLURPS~)

Ending it off with “Champagne Shower” at her very own Jacuzzi in the Villa.

How often do you get to do crazy stunts like that?
The only way to make your 21st birthday worthwhile- party like a true rock star:

Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011

2011-12-26T23:12:00.001+08:00

Because of work, I couldn’t make it 2 years ago when it was held here in Singapore.

After finding out how much I’ve missed out from everybody else,
I rsvp-ed immediately upon the warm invitation this 2011; even though the venue’s at KL.
YES! I’m attending the “Grammy awards” dedicated to honour us, bloggers!!!

The bloggers set off on a torturous 7 hours coach ride, knowing that it would all be worth while:

At the rest point
Our coach made a brief stop at this food court in Malaysia, where we break for lunch!

I grabbed a bite of my all time favourite, the Ramly Burger!
Disappointing, compared to the ones I usually get from our local Pasar Malam :(

And then… I heard mumblings like ‘Omg, so pretty! It looks like Disneyland~” in my sleep,
so I thought I was still dreaming when I saw this:

It wasn’t inception; WE ARRIVED!!!
At the doorstep of the super gorgeous Mariott Hotel:

Seems like I can have white Christmas too, here in Kuala Lumpur!

We finally checked into our room and starting dolling up with our swiftest speed!

After taking slightly lesser than forever, we all emerged FABULOUS:

Joining the other hundred over bloggers from all over Asia!

The Nomination Board:

Meet the gorgeous few that made Napbas fun-packed:

All of them beautifully clad in captivating outfits for the black tie event (Pris, Val, Fidel and Nad)
Luckily I had my Herve Leger inspired super top-notch quality Toga Dress from Sashaxoxo.com

Here, we have the girl that everyone told me that we share a striking resemblance.

Silver Ang- with the ever dazzling smile.
I’m actually rather shy when meeting new people (yea I know you can’t tell from my face, but I do take awhile to warm up),
hence I didn’t go up to her until she cheerily went: “Hey Twin!”

So, meet my sweet and spontaneous twin!- not exactly similar when placed side by side.

We were one of the last few to arrive just in time before the ceremony begins,
thus I wasn’t left with much time to snap pictures with most of my enthusiastic readers (My sincere apologies).

Here’s one sweetheart from Malaysia that managed to grab me right after I finished signing on the guest log:

Just as the Nuffies were chasing us to be seated,
I spotted the makeshift studio corner with NAPBAS backdrop:

So I quickly pulled my blogger-friends and readers for a picture opportunity together:
(Little did I know that Nuffnang made it a souvenir for us as keepsake; pretty picture in a crystal frame *sweetness)

Gracing the entrance together with Esther and Fidel:

The magnificent dining hall with tasteful lightings:

Bloggers of table 36; Thiang, Ben & Randy!

Seated beside me, Yina and Thiang~

Checking out the extravagant menu of the night:

Starters first:

At the same time; enjoy the entertainment of the opening:
(The event was also scheduled with many performances throughout,
but I guess the food took hold of my attention instead)

DAMN! BREADsss; my weak point :(
Once these nicely baked goodies were served, I could hardly resist them:

Meanwhile, the nominated bloggers were announced on stage according to the different categories:

And the winners were revealed in between meals:

Grape sorbet with fresh mint for a little refreshment:

Thankfully for the kind recommendation (though they had trouble advising us due to language barrier),
we opted for the dory fish after the service staffs went “fish, fish good” – which was indeed gratifying.

Tiramisu in chocolate cup!
I like it that the chef made everything not only edible but savoury too:

Lastly, they even served cookies with tea.
But we were sooo filled from all the indulgence, it was impossibru for us to stomach anymore of these.

The plate had to be left untouched; what a shame :(

You’ve probably already heard, here are the winners!

Ending off the ceremony with our group of red carpet worthy; Yina, Fidel, Clara and Nadia!

If you like the Herve Leger Inspired Toga that I wore for Napbas,
here’s where you can get it at a Fraction of it’s price!

http://sashaxoxo.com/
http://sashaxoxo.com/

But of course, we are in KL people~
THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG and the party’s certainly not stopping here!!!

We moved on to ZOUK, the best night spot in KL with the enthusiastic gang.
Wearing my sparkly Miss Glittery from Iwearsin.com

And the girls went on to shake our bums away:

Thank you girls for being so extemporaneous and delectable.
It wasn’t a second that I didn’t enjoy myself, I hope it’s the same for you :)

Thank you Nuffnang for sponsoring and inviting me to this marvellous event!
It’s impressive how you’ve grown to become a huge community today.
I’m genuinely proud to be part of the Nuffnang talents ♥

Christmas Eve

2011-12-24T03:45:00.001+08:00

Hohoho, it’s Christmas in a day’s time!
Are you vexed over dolling up for your Xmas Date or New Year Party?

With the over crowding population here in Singapore, shopping has become excessively taxing;
especially during the festive seasons.
Why allow the traffic to dampen your joyous mood?

I’m all prepared for Christmas, just by shopping at the comfort of my own home :)
Xmas is a time for sharing, I shall reveal my little secrets today!

let us proceed to complete the entire outlook.

YES, “THE DRESS!”
Every women’s ultimate headache, right?

I can get so stressed up, rummaging through piles and racks of clothes, draining myself to no avail.
And at the end of the day, I just go like “F-CHRISTMAS / New Year, I can’t even get the RIGHT OUTFIT for it!!!
Am gonna be so ugly while everybody else dazzle away. I should just stay home, rot and DIE!”

Why waste your energy running from stores to stores,
when you can just select and view from a huge variety with an easy click?

I mean like… Just take a look at this:

I don’t even need to take a trip down town to know that Glitter and Sequins are in trend for this season.
I just surf Iwearsin.com

Food Hunting Trip “The Bark Cafe”

2011-12-15T23:02:00.001+08:00

The colours in your life, depends on how you look at it…

I’m a fan of chicken wings; but having had it just the day before, I wasn’t exactly keen on trying this.
Given that it was highly raved online and also one of their signature dish, I gave it a shot still.
True enough, these Jumbo Chicken Wings did not disappoint at all.
One of the best, if I say so myself!

Then came the Crayfish Hor Fun which appeared to be a huge portion.
However, the boyfriend commented that it was just mediocre; it wasn’t served hot enough as well.

The Smoked Duck was actually pretty good; a pity that it wasn’t piping hot, like what I expected.
Since I was rather filled from the chicken wings,
I packed this home and it turned out to be fantastic after I reheated them with the oven!

In case you want to give it a try, make sure you request for more sauce~

Food hunting’s a really interesting activity for myself- apart from experiencing new food,
the ambience is what that truly fascinates me.

I hope you like my new recommendation:

The Bark Café
”Western-style cafe, suitable for chill-out, alfresco/outdoor dining”

“I never stop getting amused by the new things I encounter.”

Don’t give up exploring, keep your curiosity on-going…
There’s so much more in life for you to realize :)

Luxurioz.com “same brands, better price”

2011-12-10T17:24:00.001+08:00

Why am I a fan of brands or designer bags?
“Actually, I can’t see why not if it’s more 70% off retail price”

Truth is- Just like many, I too, used to buy just generic bags when I was much younger.
Until I was introduced to branded designer bags, did I start appreciating the quality and beauty of it.

“World-renowned designers devote a lot of their time and effort to come up with outputs that are not only luxurious-looking but also durable. Only the most exquisite materials are used to craft bags that will stand the test of time. Moreover, most branded bags are handmade which guarantees that they are carefully created to pass meticulous judgment.

Rather than buying a generic bag that will wear off in just a few months, it is better to splurge for a one-time purchase that will last for so many years. Some designer bag collectors can even attest of passing their babies to their daughters and granddaughters. Now, who says that only real estate properties can be inherited?” –my exact same sentiments via THESTYLEFAB Inc.

Stereotypical statement- “Women with a liking for brands are plainly materialistic” I must digress.

Even on those common bags, I used to spend over hundreds because they would fail me within a few months.
Despite my love for varieties, I’m faithful to bag designs that I truly fancy. You have absolutely no idea how disheartening it is, to throw my favourite bag away only because it gets worn-out; just too quickly!

The best part about designer bags? They are timeless and never goes out of trend!!!
”In fact, I would like to think that I save more than I spend”

My belief: “A beautiful bag is the best accessory of your outfit”

But how do I keep up with such extravagance, you may ask?

Because of Luxurioz.com, they made luxury affordable!

A bag like this from our renowned Prada would have cost a good $2600.
What if I told you that I got it off a deal for just $999?

Yes, AUTHENTIC with no doubts, FRESH like off the counters!

The only difference? No overhead cost.

With the advantage of e-commerce, Luxurioz.com sells bags to consumers at a much lower cost compared to retail!
They also have special on-going sales for limited edition bags, like the vintage-style Prada bag
that I managed to snag off Luxurioz at more than 60% off original!

They have more than 10 different widely known brands to cater to your liking:

With Christmas around the corner, it’s time to pamper your loved ones and yourselves!
Shopping at the comfort of your own home has became a better bargain
than squeezing through the festive season’s crowd.

Despite such amazing prices, Luxurioz.com even provides interest-free instalment plans
for our shopping pleasure! I really wouldn’t mind another Prada ♥

I already have my eyes set on these babies, you better grab them fast before I do!
$700+ and $900+ each only (1 piece). No joke.

Because my readers get a great discount!!! Read on…

Just for this awesome Christmas,
apart from the 10% discount that you will be getting off your first purchase,
ALL MY DEAREST READERS WILL GET ADDITIONAL 15% discount on top the sales price!

Botan Japanese Restaurant

2011-12-07T02:29:00.001+08:00

When I want to eat healthy, I think Japanese

Japanese; one of my favourite cuisines, even though I’ve yet to set foot on the country itself.
I’m a true blue food-adventurist though, it doesn’t stop me from finding the best; here in good O’Singapore.

Today, we are talking about the best in terms of price value:

Our orders; Grilled fish and Beef Teriyaki set at just $20 each,
comes with ALL these side dishes:

And if you think that the bento is already crazily sumptuous,
you would be surprised to know that this fried fish came as complimentary too! (WHAT?!)

Sharing with you, yet another hidden gem
that deserves more raving than most renowned brands.

An authentic-style restaurant that serves really fresh and traditional food, at such an affordable cost…
Seriously, I just hope that they maintain the fantastic price. No hikes after this post please :’(

Let me know about your experience too ♥

Acting for short films

2011-12-02T23:22:00.001+08:00

Acting in Singapore – is it viable?

This is always a difficult question to answer – many new actors ask if this is a viable career path. To be honest there are many actors in Singapore who make a fairly comfortable living and there are also many others who teach or do other side jobs to supplement their income. Because there is no set rate for the acting industry actors can get anywhere from $30 per day to $1500 per day. It also depends entirely on the type of job. A commercial can often pay a lot more than a TV serial.

-Quoted from actors asia database

As you might already know, blogging is my current main income generator.
But I still do modelling and acting once in awhile when I have extra time on hand.
I’ve been neglecting these side interests lately, as it’s a real hassle to run around for castings.
It takes a lot of dedication, especially when I’m a freelancer.

Passion sticks with you for life, I’ll still try to indulge in them at times…

Let me take you through a simple shoot day (outdoor)

Call time can be as early as 6am, so that you can get on set in time for the sunlight.
And by the time everything gets set up, you should be dying from perspiration…

At times, you would either have to bring all the necessities yourself,
brave through the unbearable heat and try to adapt to the most uncomfortable outdoor location…

OR

You have these awesome crews that would take care of you so adequately:
Comfortable mat, water, pesticide, sun block lotion, boots (to walk through the muddy road),
umbrella and a copy of my own script, all prepared by them!

I truly appreciate such welfare, because honestly, I’ve survived even worst conditions.

Woohoo~ Cam-whoring under the brolla, while waiting for my scene:

While the talents have the luxury of our own shades; kindly provided by the crews,
wanna make a guess on how they shelter themselves?

LOL Cute! Under the reflector:

So here’s Nicholas, male lead in this short film with me.
We were actually acquainted many years ago. Hahaha, super coincidental!
Nic’s also currently involved with the new Okto’s series “Nick of Time”, as the main supporting role.

From my appearance, you probably can’t tell…
But there were at least 20 centipedes, thousands of ants and mosquitoes everywhere!
It’s no wonder there was a huge “Danger” sign placed on site, now we know what that means~

The sun showed no mercy through the first few scenes:

Just as I was on the verge of dying from heat stroke…

The weather had a sudden PMS and went on strike!

The sky looks like it’s about to crack open and gobble us up!!!
Albeit suitable for the “Zombie” mockumentary that we are shooting,
it’s a pity that it doesn’t flow with the initial scenes.

After lunch,
the production team packed up quickly for a proper shelter before it’s too late to avoid the downpour.

We managed to find a new hideout down the road!

We waited as it showered for a good 2 hours,
and the team decided it’s time for WRAP! (insufficient sunlight to continue)

That means it dragged on for another day, but also an extra day of pay! :)

Everything’s unpredictable in the acting industry.
Be a “chameleon”, having the power of adaption is one of the most important criteria.

Look on the brighter side.
Because, at the end of the day, your hard work will pay off…

The Story Behind My Minnie Mouse’s Nails

2011-11-30T02:44:00.001+08:00

Some cutesy big ribbons, lace and polka dots…
Twinkle Nailz easily achieved the Minnie Mouse look that I wanted.

With hard gel as the base and soft gel on top, one could hardly tell, it’s actually my own nails!

Beyond Beauty, the science behind beauty

2011-11-22T17:03:00.001+08:00

**YAY! There’s huge giveaway in this post!

Never take your beauty for granted.
Sheer luck’s temporary…

Everyone used to make a big hoo haa out of a single pimple appearing on my crystal clear face.
Yes, that exaggerating, it’s almost like an alien encounter.
Throughout my 22 years of life, there wasn’t a time I had to fear for skin problems.

With genetically gifted good skin, comes complacency.
I could slap on those harmful makeup, go for work in the morning,
last through a long clubbing night and even fall asleep with it- all still intact.
That went on, countless of times.

All and all, until I woke up one day with an outbreak that doesn’t go away…

Honestly, I was at a total loss of what to do.
Never had I expected myself to be handling this painful loss of my flawless skin.

I was delusional for quite awhile, hoping that it would go away.
But with my skin condition deteriorating everyday,
I finally came to my senses and decided to step out of my comfort zone to source for help…

The friendly consultant at Beyond Beauty briefed me about my facial procedure:

Micro-dermabrasion (Crystal/Diamond Peel)

MAYA-Peel employs a new yet natural, non-aggressive, non-invasive technique
that is both secure and reliable to rejuvenates the skin by creating fresh, shiny well-oxygenated tissue.
It re-establishes the skin's original elasticity and splendour.

Changed into the comfortable silk robe, as I got ready for my treatment…

1st step: Cleansing of my face

And this is the most essential step!

Apparently, my negligence of my skin and improper removal of makeup have caused terrible clogging of my pores!
This has resulted in my pimples resurfacing again and again after squeezing them.

Exfoliation and treating my clogged pores
• Stimulates cell regeneration from the germinative layer of the epidermal tissue
• Treats problematic skin conditions

3rd step: Soothing my skin from the treatment

4th step: Massaging
Loosening my muscles and conditioning the skin just beneath my face.

And the final step:

This facial mask firms & tones the skin tissue to produce an instant lift!
It also increases the skin's elasticity and collagen, resulting in more youthful looking skin.

After it dries, the beautician peels it off…

AND VOILA!!!

No photoshop at all, I assure you.

The treatment actually lightens my acne scars instantly!
I really didn’t expect to see such a tremendous result on the first time.

Still amazed at the results:

My most generous GIVEAWAY for CHRISTMAS:

Universal Studio’s spanking new ride!

2011-11-20T03:22:00.001+08:00

Thank god I saw this just before my next trip to Universal Studios!

SINGAPORE: After more than two months of non-stop tests, Universal Studios Singapore is finally ready to unveil its multi-million dollar Transformers 3D ride on December 3.
Planning for the Transformers 3D ride took over four years, even before Universal Studios Singapore was built.
Among its firsts is a new Autobot called EVAC, specially created for the ride.

What makes the ride unique is that it not only is the first Transformers ride in the world, the technology it employs far surpasses what has previously been done on simulator rides, combining HD-quality images, realistic special effects and a roving motion simulator.

John Hallenbeck, vice president of park operations at Universal Studios Singapore, said: "We're looking to definitely have people walk in the door, and when they get off the attraction, to be blown away. I've been in this business for a long time and this by far is one of the best attractions we've ever developed."
The ride has just received its licence and Universal Studios Singapore will open it to the public for a few hours each day in the run-up to its official opening.

I’m definitely postponing my theme park adventure till after December 3rd!
This ride’s so making my every penny worthwhile; same cost, different experience~
’Cause baby, this multi-million dollar worth ride’s the first transformers ride in the world, here in SINGAPORE.
Yes, my country. Though a small but with a HUGE RIDE. CAN’T WAIT!

Guess Event, with a generous giveaway.

2011-11-16T03:47:00.001+08:00

Guess Fashion Blogger Event
**Ps: Read on for a giveaway from Guess, for EVERYBODY!

In the invitation card, they actually mentioned that they have a surprise for us!
Gotta love how Guess just keeps us guessing….

Greeted by the extremely hospitable brand manager once I arrived at it’s flagship store in Paragon:

Briefing me on the activity that we would be engaged with, during the event:

All I have to do is to pick 3 pairs of jeans among the racks and choose my favourite one to take home!

I was spoilt for choices! They have got so many different styles catered for every individual.
The jeans range from skinnies to slim cut, straight cut and boot cut!!!

See the sales associate right beside me?
Worry not if you’re as fickle as I am, they are really patient in assisting me!
Her amazing dedication made my decision so much easier :)

OH MY GAWD

I’m still in disbelieve that this pair of washed out POWER SKINNY jeans actually fit me ~oh so perfectly!
Allow me to explain myself. I’ve got these pair of ultra skinny shins and it’s really,
almost impossible to find one that can compliment me so well, without even having to alter it.

I find it really cute that they have a nick name for every design!
Mine being the Power skinny and others namely the Dare Devil, Starlet, Kurt etc.

Even the boyfriend couldn’t resist the temptation!
Upon pulling up this awesome pair that he fancied, he shared the exact same sentiments as me.
We both agreed that this is the only pair of skinnies that we’ve worn,
which isn’t overly skin fit and most importantly, breathable

Pleased with the results,
I’m happily writing my most cheesy caption for my polaroid; to be placed on the wall!

After completing the activity, they even rewarded us with yummy finger food and beverage:

Meanwhile, my second guest finally arrived! Who else, but my girlfriend Sab~

Self-entertainment, as I waited for her to try on the fabulous Jeans:

Sab took a liking for the darker version in boot cut– Dare Devil style
What about you?

Moving on to my style of the day!

Current favourite: Infinity Convertible Dress. 1 dress, 10 styles!
http://sashaxoxo.com/

This gorgeous Victoria’s Secret inspired piece’s of amazing top quality, I assure you.

My Nuffnang Story

2011-11-13T01:39:00.001+08:00

My journey of one thousand miles began with one single step.

The day I joined Nuffnang, blogging was almost insignificant. Who would have known that it could have been
a career today? I had only thought of earning extra pocket money, some 4 years ago.

Receiving my first cheque for my blog in 2007:

Since I started off at a very young age, indeed, a lot of my first times happened with Nuffnang.
Apart from generating income from adverts, the journey and experience I had, was beyond heaps of fun!

My first Christmas party with my friends:

My blog; displayed on the big screen to a huge crowd, for the first time:

First time winning a blog award from Nuffnang’s Boss (Ming)!

Which gave me a chance to fly to Bangkok for the first time!

To be part of Air Asia’s new route opening in Bandung and being
invited to cover an overseas event + travelling with my girlfriend for the first time!

First meet and greet session with my blog readers
and being one of the featured bloggers at Singapore’s first flash mob!

First time being an ambassador for a good cause!

There are many more other fantabulous events that I’ve attended with Nuffnang.

Here’s one of the most significant one recently,
where I was paid to attend F1, given the exclusive opportunity to view the garage
and had the honour to be Proton’s official blogger!

Enjoyed this short summary on my journey with Nuffnang?

Come 16 December 2011, 500 bloggers from around the Asia-Pacific region will flock to Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 in Putrajaya Marriott. The Awards aims to not only
honour the region's best bloggers, but also to bring together blogger communities from across Asia-Pacific!

Embark on your very own journey today! Join us at Nuffnang and this fabulous event.
Submit your entry today at http://awards.nuffnang.com/2011/win-exclusive-invites and you too,

Time together, is never quite enough. Cherish.

2011-11-09T01:43:00.001+08:00

It seems like just yesterday when we first got together.
The Boyfriend brought me to Beaulieu House for our 6 months’ celebration.

117 Beaulieu Road
Singapore 759837
(Sembawang Park)

HISTORY of Beaulieu House:

Beaulieu House, originally the seaside house of a David family, who were in the mining business, it is older even than the Naval Base. It was acquired by the colonial government when the Naval Base was planned, and was probably built around 1910, although no building plans have yet been located.

Such a house, built to face the sea has now become a restaurant, serving western, Chinese seafood, BBQ and steamboat. It's an ideal historical place to spend your time under the stars with a magnificent view of the sea.

This restaurant’s also widely used for events and weddings; explains the decorations!

Of course, we went for the BBQ dishes that were highly raved by online recommendations.
Pretty reasonably priced at only $2.50 for the king oyster mushrooms and corn, $5 for the prawns!

Since we arrived pretty late, just in time for the last order, we opted for western cuisine
amongst the wide variety of selections (apart from Chinese seafood and steamboat)

Topped up an additional $5.90 for a set with soup, bread, soft drink and ice cream!

My Sirloin Steak, medium rare and bf’s choice of Rose Mary chicken:

"A Slice of History With Your Meal?"

Perhaps, nothing in the world can be permanent.
Or perhaps, we might be foolish when we ask for anything to last.
But surely, it’s just plain absurdity if we do not not take delight in it, while we still have it.

Every moment in love, I cherish.

EDISON CHEN SEX SCANDAL AGAIN. THIS TIME WITH 16 YEARS OLD?!

2011-11-05T03:35:00.001+08:00

Cammi 16 years old HK model lost her phone last Thursday
and the relationship came to light after intimate photos of Edison and Cammi were leaked online.

The 31-year-old had dated 16-year-old for the past 3 months

Why are celebrities forever losing their phones and getting their scandals leaked?! Like seriously, is this a trend amongst the entertainment industry? Speaking about old trick… Look who’s still using the same old dirty trick?

Our favourite king of sex scandals, Edison Chen:

Some of their leaked chats suggest that Chen had a sexual fetish involving uniforms.
In one chat, published as a screen grab, he asked to take pictures of Tse, promising to delete them later and exhorting her to keep them secret, Apple Daily reported.

He told her he wanted to take photos of her in sexy costumes: "I get u the outfits... Sum cute... Sum sexy... Sum costume... Secret... can u keep??" "It will b fun... some us together... some u alone."
In a span of 10 minutes, he allegedly sent her 17 texts urging her to pose for pictures, reported Apple Daily.
In another leaked excerpt urging her to pose in her school uniform, he wrote: "Rmb tmr to bring ur real school uni... N swimsuit... N cutecute clothing."
When she agreed to his request, he wrote: "Cant waitty." – as quoted from http://www.asianewsnet.net/

Edison Chen even bought her this limited edition Hello Kitty bra,
knowing that Cammi likes the cartoon:

Apparently, it’s legal to have sex at the age of 16 in Hong Kong.

Cammi Tse (谢芷蕙) has tearfully confirmed that she did indeed lose her virginity to Edison Chen (陈冠希). This statement contradicted what she had previously told media — that they did not have a sexual relationship.

When interviewed by Hong Kong’s Suddenly Weekly (忽然1周) on Wednesday, the 16-year-old model totally lost it and admitted Edison filmed a 2-minute bedroom scene but stressed she did wear underwear and a uniform while “doing it'' – O.O Does that make any difference? LOL. They had sex.
Wearing underwear aint gonna prevent you from getting herpes, girl!
She said Edison wanted to film her, saying it was for his company.
“Although we were together for only three months, we really had a great time. He loved me so much at the time and I believe he was wholehearted,” she told the weekly, with even more tears rolling down her cheeks.
However, when interviewed by Hong Kong’s Apple Daily, on the previous week, she actually denied having had sex with Edison and said there was no erotic video clip.
She said she went to his house just to “watch TV.” - as quoted from http://www.maydaily.com/

Guess what?

Edison has also broken up with Cammi right after the scandal leak.

Breaking up after he takes advantage of the female celebrity – all-the-time.
Seems like someone’s getting free prostitution within the entertainment industry!

Golden Question is: “Why would Tse agree to take sexy photographs with Chen given his past?
Was she not worried that the same thing could happen to her?”

She claims: "I was still young (about 13?) at that time and did not know about this news
(Chen's 2008 sex photo scandal)”

A Different Experience with Halloween, Every Year

2011-11-04T23:15:00.001+08:00

“Why pay to get scared?”

Did you know that the Asian Civilisations Museum had several programmes lined up in-tuned for this occasion?
You probably didn’t know that it’s actually free for the public as well!

So this year, we decided to experience it for ourselves:

Don’t judge me, ghosts get hungry too!

”FREE HUGS” as the PG version; there are many kids attending the carnival as well!
Take note of his R21 version in the clubs later on.

Let’s take a walk inside!

J poking the black ghost’s belly, hoping that it would attack him:
Black Face actually scared many visitors by charging towards them suddenly, from his little corner.
Yet, it kept it’s composure and was absolutely nonchalant towards J’s teasing. LOL

With the fun that we had earlier on, we took it further to the clubs!
Without going through the hassle of queuing up: http://www.facebook.com/groups/thydowagervip/

LMFAO’s Robot and the R21’s version of J’s “costume”
WTF ~~SUPER~~ Durex Man!!! lol
He gave away a total of 80 condoms that night.
A random blogger came up to him and took 5! Shan’t name who…

Ending my Halloween Post with the cutest Halloween Video ever:

Halloween 2011, Tribute to Amy Winehouse

2011-11-02T07:12:00.001+08:00

This Year’s Halloween Theme: “Dead Celebrity”

Since I’ve a sponsored military costume, why not do an “Army” Winehouse?
Anyway, here’s a simple tutorial that I put together; painstakingly in 2 days. ‘cause my video editor crashed on me upon my completion of the first edit, then second and finally here’s the third:

(Pardon me for the lack of explanation, since I typed it all out; twice, and all the hard work went down the drain)

Winehouse’s songs were fabulous, so I mixed some of her hits for this video.
Like the video and subscribe if you enjoy it ♥

Will be updating on my Halloween Party real soon!

Hint: This year, we didn’t pay to scare our lungs out ;)

Formula One, Proton

2011-10-25T03:40:00.000+08:00

Did you know that Proton owns Lotus?
I’ve always assumed them as brothers company. Little did I know, Proton’s the parent company of Lotus!

A little background info about Proton’s involvement in F1:
Affiliation in Formula One through Group Lotus sponsorship of the Lotus Renault Grand Prix Team.
PROTON supports Group Lotus and LRGP at F1 races.

First day of the Formula 1™

Sponsor: Proton Malaysia
Venue: Clarke Quay Central
Purpose: Road Show

Proton’s showcase, experiencing the F1’s atmosphere on the race’s practice night.
A combination of hot models and flashy cars, the main attraction of Formula one was entirely displayed right at the show.

Apart from the eye opening exhibition, Proton also introduced the Agility game to the public!
Referring to the last 3rd picture, where you see the couple in action.
The lights positioned at different corners of the machine- lights up automatically,
players are to tap on them as fast as possible.

Guess what’s the coolest part?
“F1 racers practice on the machine on a regular basis to train their agility!”

Interestingly, my boyfriend actually attained the highest score that night at 67 hits. SAY WHAT?
Maybe we’ve found ourselves a possible F1 racer in Sg?
Haha.. that I’m not so sure, but at least he won tickets to the F1 after-party @ one altitude by Proton~
Just as I was disappointed about having only 1 ticket to the event myself, luck came shining upon on us!

“Happiness is when you least expects it.” so true.
.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second day of the Formula 1™

An exclusive visit to the Paddock.

For the past years, I’ve watched the races and had the opportunity to be involved with the show last year,
I’m just more than pleased to be covering the “backstage of the show” this time, on my blog~

In case you’re wondering, the guys above are bloggers-representative from Malaysia; Proton’s country of origin!
Thankfully for them (Tianchad and Akiraceo, who’re absolutely comfortable in snapping excessive amount of photos;
like myself, making the above extensive photography coverage of my experience possible!

I can’t exclaim enough how amazing it was to actually witness the live-action at the garage.
Fortunately, I brought along my compact camera to capture the rare moment:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second day Formula 1™ after party at One Altitude

F1 period is always packed with parties and the experience would have been incomplete without this…
I mean, what’s comparable to a view at 60+ storey?
Proton booked the entire restaurant and open bar at 1 altitude, just for it’s guests!

Spectacular view, delectable food and the best companions, what more can I ask for?
A pity that I’m not a fan of alcohol but at least, it was heaven for my friends!
The bartender and servers kept treating us to tequila, they took at least 4 shots each; including the defence on my behalf.

It was a great socializing session between us and Proton’s corporate team,
all while enjoying the race in our very own privacy- A peaceful moment for my eardrums,
especially with the engagement of the live band, serenading us with their great voices!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Formula 1™ Final Race!

Having to attend the final party after the race…
I had to bear with my wedges and dress, because I’m extremely lazy to lug around a change of clothes.
Despite expecting the intolerable sweat and crowd, it was a race I couldn’t miss!

(Some images credited to TNP)

Pardon me, but thumbs up for the two crashes!
You can’t deny, that’s the best part of the race! After all, the result was already more or less definite.
With the new additional of architectures around the pit, the night scenery’s definitely more breath taking now than ever.

Thank you Proton for the eye-opener and giving me this opportunity to share it with my readers!
Hopefully, I will be given the same chance next year ♥
