Milo Peng without hot water? EASY!

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 21:30:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

Last week, I received a pack of Milo 3 in 1 Easy Cool pack for me to review thanks to Nestle and Omy.sg. Honestly, I'm not a sweet drinks person myself. I've been trying to avoid sweet drinks for more than a year now. However, great news to you health junkies out there, Milo is endorsed by HPB as it has the Healthier Choice Symbol.

So... This Easy Cool version is for people who lovesss Milo Peng.

The pack came with this Milo Shaker bottle. All you have to do is fill the bottle with this much water...

POUR

2 sachets of 3 in 1 Easy Cool Milo

And start shaking!

BE COOL

It's so convenient and easy. Anytime, anywhere. No need to look for hot water if you wanna drink Milo! Honestly, it tastes really good too. Not much difference as compared to the normal milo powder. Love it!

MILO® Easy Cool is running a special Facebook contest with huge prizes such as an iPad2 and a Sony PS Vita. All you have to do is submit a video demonstrating how

“It’s So Easy to be Cool- If You Know How.”

The contest ends on 28 February 2012.

MILO® Easy Cool is now available at all leading supermarkets and hypermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, Shop N Save, Giant, Carrefour and Sheng Siong.

S$6.30 for 15 sachets.

The mini getaway with the girls

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:16:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

Last week, my close friends and I decided to have a mini get together at Aloha Loyang chalet. I managed to get pretty good rates and we were ready to roll. It was only one night but I had fun!

I started my morning by heading to BBQ House to get satay and otahs for bbq with the girls later the evening. We were only expecting a small group so we didn't buy too much food. Since it was a school day for our other friends, they couldn't join us. Anyway, if you're looking for stuff to bbq, you should consider BBQ house cos they're stuff are pretty cheap. 1 stick of satay cost 27 cents. If I'm not wrong. The cheapest compared to the rest I surveyed. You'll also get a 5% discount if you choose to walk-in/self collect the items you ordered. The downside would be that the place is pretty ulu near upper changi road, so you might have to take a cab to the building.

Walking around Pasir Ris Park eating ice cream.

Ordered brownies from an online friend, Syakina. The brownies were moist and delicious! My friends really loved her brownies. She also takes orders for cupcakes. Price wise, affordable compared to the other cupcake makers. Visit http://sst-indulgence.blogspot.com/

And.... we entertained ourselves by playing with our meme masks. Hehe

Anyway, we girls made a pact. No matter what happens, if we catch our partners/our friend's partners doing things behind our back, we are to inform each other. I thought it was a pretty good pact. I've always believed that girls should be united whenever it comes to men. Maybe it's just me. I don't know.

Also, we spent the night trolling people on Chatroulette with our masks. I'll share the printscreens with you soon. I really can't wait for my trip to Bandung!! :)

Anyway, if you don't know me, I'm Que. I'm a graduate from Singapore Polytechnic, with a Diploma in Media and Communication specialising in Social Media. I'm looking for a temporary job while awaiting for the results of my degree application. If you know of anyone looking for temp workers, email me at rynaque@gmail.com Thank you! <3

What kind of shoes do you prefer?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:30:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

A girl can never have enough shoes. True that. But what kind of shoes do you go for? Do you go for the "garang" shoes or do you go for... the simple looking ones?

Let me be very honest. When it comes to shoes..... I am pretty reserved. Maybe because I prefer to go for more "garang"/ (fierce) dresses, so I'd like to go easy on my shoes. And.... It's very rare to see me in heels because my feet will ache alot and I'll feel like dying after standing more than 15 minutes. So... Heels are reserved for very very atas events or when I feel like I wanna be a little taller. Trolololol.

I used to wear flatforms but stopped after I fell down at a bus stop near school. It was so bad, my knee was bleeding so badly and now I have a scar on my knee. I've never worn that pair ever since that incident!! LOL

Talking about shoes, check out this baby I received all the way from Korea. Peter emailed me last month to ask if I would like to try out their shoes!! Of course, I said YES. :D At the same time, I was worried I couldn't fit any of the shoes he sent me because I have broad feet. So I told him to send over his biggest pair! :)

Then I received a huge parcel which was delivered to my office!

When I opened.......

I was pleasantly surprised! ~~

See, left feet broader than my right.

I'm in love~~~ Thank you Le Bunny Bleu! Visit them here ---> http://shop.lebunnybleu.com.hk/ Received lots of compliments from my friends about these Oxfords. :>

Actually, they sent me another pair of shoes.. But that's a post for another day! ;)

Anyway, if you're planning to buy, quote that you are a reader of mine and you'll get a 15% discount! Also, you'll be charged USD $12 shipping fee. ----> Click here to order now! If you don't understand mandarin, then use Google Chrome and translate the whole page. :>

HAPPY SHOPPING!

Some girls like their own bodies, others hate their own bodies.

MynameisQUE;

Found this photo on Tumblr and saved it in my phone. Thought I should share it with you. :)

It's hard, but who says it's IMPOSSIBLE to accept your own body? It takes time. I would know.

I hope one day you'll embrace your own bodies and realise that you are truly beautiful in your own way.

How much interest rate is your bank offering you?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:59:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

<Plug>

Check out the interest rates your current bank is offering you.

DBS | UOB | OCBC | CITIBANK

Okay... So their interest rate is about the same.... Hmmm.... What about...

Standard Chartered's newly launched Bonus$aver account?

1.88% p.a. -

To enjoy this interest rate, all you have to do is to charge $500 to your credit card/

spend $500 on your debit card monthly.

Anyway, if you're always doing online shopping, don't worry, you'll get access to the Bank’s online and mobile banking platform. Not forgetting a chequebook too! (At no extra charge).

Sounds really good right? Last week, we had an event at iFLY Sentosa for our digital influencers.

Normally, I'm the one attending events. This time, I got the chance to mend the registration booth, mingle with the bloggers and play host. :>

Faz couldn't be there with us at our event because she broke her toe so she sent her brother Fai instead. Get well soon dear! <3

Joanne Marie Sim, winner of the Social Media Star contest conducted by Singtel. Also, host of TGIS. Check out her cool tank top! Also, read about her entry about the Bonus$aver account here.

Here are all our digital influencers we invited down for the launch

of the Standard Chartered Bonus$aver account.

Managed to take a picture with Roseanne, one of Singapore's top beauty bloggers. It was the first time I met her and she's extremely nice. :")

Here's Darren giving me a THUMBS UP after his first fly!

Alvin and Clara.

Leon and Fidelis

Christy, Fai and his friend.

And lastly, a picture of daddy blogger, Edmund with his flying certificate!

I'm sure our digital influencers had a great time flying with Standard Chartered. If you're interested to find out more about the Bonus$aver account, please visit their site here.

IS DOMINO'S PIZZA HALAL?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:30:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

"Mama, let's order Dominos pizza!"
"HALAL KE TAK?"

Standard question everytime. Yes, Dominos is halal!!

So... Why should you order Dominos pizza?

1) Nett pricing. No hidden charges. No GST/Service charge

2) NO DELIVERY CHARGE!

3) Pizza guaranteed to reach you within 30 minutes. Sweet!

(No other pizza/fastfood company can guarantee you that. Only at Dominos.)

Don't believe? Try it yourself. ;)

Where's the best place to get Halal Chocolate larva cake?

Dominos.com.sg of course! :)

Anyway, I recommend you to order you Dominos pizza online because you'll get a free side. At no cost! Also, there's this GPS you can use to track your pizza too! :)

So pizza lovers, log on to dominos.com.sg to order your pizza today! :>

So girls, is it true that we go for the bad guy and that good guys finish last?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:53:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

Anyway, if you're planning to watch This Means War the movie, don't bother. The show isn't worth watching. And.... This post will be full of spoilers. You might wanna close the browser if you're gonna watch it soon.

So 2 good friends fight over the attention of a women. Usual story line. Best Man Wins.

Specimen A is a divorcee, with a son. Hasn't dated for some time.

Responsible. Romantic. Very eligible.

Specimen B is..... the bad boy we often meet in real life. Isn't ready to settle down. Thinks that he's got enough skills to get the attention of the girl, since he has done it many times anyway. Has probably dated and slept with 16272912928 girls.

So... guess who she picked in the end?

The bad boy, of course. Good job Captain Obvious.

This movie deserves endless trashing because the ending is predictable. Sure, the trailer looks good. The only sexy factor about the movie is probably because the 2 men are spies. Other than that, it's just another fail rom com. Well, at least to me.

So, is it really true that we girls only go for the bad boys and that nice guys finish last? Think about it. Remember how your guy didn't really treat you well, but you actually stayed by his side. What about that nice guy you're always confiding in? You probably friendzoned him because you think you and him can only be friends.

So why did Reese Witherspoon choose to be with Chris Pine in the end? (well just her character in the show) Because you know, she probably felt that she could change this man. She wanted to be "the reason he changed", from a heartbreaker to a loving boyfriend. And, probably the fact that she slept with Chris Pine first instead of Tom Hardy could also have contributed to her decision to be with him. You know how girls are wired....

It's a disappointing movie. Even movies don't turn out the way we want it to be.

Need I say more?

From complete strangers to friends. Do you ever meet the people you get to know online?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:37:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

The other day, I met up with these 2 beautiful ladies I got to know online. On the left is Anith, I got to know 3 years ago when I first started blogging. She was blogging anonymously at that time and only after a year..... Jeng, jeng, jeng..... she revealed her identity to me. Met her in real life only once during some movie screening by Nuffnang.

On the right is Aishah, a fellow libra whom I got to know on Twitter a year ago back when I was tweeting emo things, ranting about how life and stuff like that. It was the first time meeting her! It was also the first time these 2 girls met. :>

Aishah and I.

So... I suggested Fish and Co for dinner because you know, everybody says that the food is pretty good. Anyway, what better way to bond with the girls than a night of good food and laughter?

This was what I had for dinner.

Fish + Chicken + fries + mash potato.

It was just too much for me to handle, I didn't even try the fish at all because I was too full. :(

Here's Anith calling the water to refill her drink. HAHAHAHHAHA

Aishah making faces.

Overall, I felt that Fish and Co has a wide selection of food. I was impressed but after the next day, I had an extremely bad stomach flu which lasted for 5 days. Diarrhea and vomiting. :( It was really quite bad. Asked the girls but they were alright. I told my doctor about it and he said the virus there could be other possibilities. If not the food, perhaps the utensils, cups etc. So, I'll never know what caused the whole stomach flu. I'm not sure if it was because of the food served. So.... the next time I'll probably eat again at Fish and Co would be.... Well, not so soon definitely.

Back to the topic of meeting people you got to know online. I really love how the internet allows us to meet and connect with different people from all walks of life. From working adults to stay-at-home mums. It's really interesting because most of them are all older than me. These people are also the ones who would share their insights and stories. If my mum were to read this, she'll probably nag at me about how there are so many dangerous people online etc. Haha parents. :P

We are the digital generation. :)

Here's Izzan, a new friend I made!
She's a Malaysian currently working and staying in Singapore alone. I seriously admire how brave she is. I probably wouldn't have the guts to stay alone in another country. Coincidentally, she too lives in Tampines. She said that the food that she's been eating here sucks. I shall bring her out to explore Singapore and makan one day. Hehe <3

Here's Hakim, who very much looks like Sadali. He's the store manager of the Lomography Gallery Store. I swear even his jokes remind me of Sad.

Made some new friends! Apparently one of them follows me on Twitter. :")
Meeting them again next week for Social Media Week Singapore's #Sataysocial.

I am the fat friend

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:29:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

Many of the girls I meet in life have low self esteem.

Picture taken using La Sardina at the Lomography.sg event.

They are the girls who look in the mirror and tell themselves that they are not pretty enough, they are not skinny enough when to me, they are actually really pretty. These are the girls who complain about being fat and ugly in front of me, expecting me to sing praises to them, just so that they can feel better about themselves. These are the girls who like hanging out and walking next to me just so that they can be the "more attractive one".

"I think I know why she's always hanging out with the fat girl, so that she'll be the more attractive one". I was probably 14 when a friend told me this. This line is still very fresh on my mind.

I don't know man. I keep thinking about it and it makes me doubt my friendship with these girls. Am I JUST the fat friend? Are you just hanging out with me so that you feel good about yourself?

So that you'll feel less intimidated? Any of you girls feeling the same?

Anyway, this blogpost was sparked by a tweet I read.

I need to set myself free again and find myself again

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:37:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

Too often, when you put someone else's happiness above yourself, you tend to lose grip of yourself. Not everybody is blessed with nice sounding fairytale-like love story. Maybe not me at least. I've had my fair share of meeting the assholes, it gets frustrating. If there's something I cannot understand, it is how women would put aside their sense of pride just to fight over a man. I would never have the capacity to do anything to hurt another woman, eventhough I do not know her personally.

Let things go because if he's capable on cheating on you now, he will cheat on you again. There's no such thing as "trying to change someone". If he really wanted to, he would have done it without you telling him to do so.

I’m worthy of a better man. Someone who doesn't put my heart to the test. At least someone who cares. Today, I've decided to leave and walk out that door. I'm not going to turn back because I know that bigger and better things await me. I'm not walking away because of the difficulties we shared because of this long distance relationship. It's more because I know that I'm capable of living without you before you entered my life, which means I am fully capable of living without you even if I left. I will not settle for second best. It'll probably take some time to find someone who'll like me for who i am. Someone who finds my quirky eccentric expressions endearing. Someone who understands why I write for a living. It'll be nice to meet someone who likes expressing himself through writing too. That would be ideal.

When you decide to end things with someone, it's never about who dumps who, but it's more about who has the courage to walk away when it’s time to go. I am that person. I am capable of better things because I know my worth. Girls, if you're being mistreated, maybe you should walk away too.

"You're an amazing girl".

I think so too. :)

All the single ladies, put yo hands up!

Plus sized clothes on SALE! Grab while you can!!

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:20:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

You and I know that plus sized clothes aren't exactly very cheap. While other petite girls shop at Bugis, get some $10 dress, plus sized dresses cost around $40 online and about $60 when we go to a physical store. Sigh......

But no worries, GOOD NEWS!! :)

Kaylene is having their sales now and it might end in late Feb! So for those of you who have just gotten your pay (ka-ching, ka-ching!!) you should head down to Far East Plaza and look for a boutique called Kaylene!

Not paid to share this btw. The sale is soooo good, it's damn hard to resist can.

Sizes from UK 16 to UK 22 ~~

Prices range from $15 to $30 :)

I bought 2 dresses last week and bought like 3 dresses and 2 outerwears this week. Will show you this week's buys soon. Promise :)

Here's a tube dress I absolutely love. Pretty cute!

Here's a green coloured sleeveless dress. I don't usually wear green so I thought it would be a good change. :)

How? YOU JELLY??!

Seriously, go LIKE them on Facebook cus they'll post updates there. If not for their FB, I wouldn't know about their sale hokay. Their sale is only once a year so you better grab the chance while it's still here. Service is also pretty good. The owner, Kayde was really nice to me and will always serve you with a smile. I like good service more than anything else, really. So thumbs up!!

What pisses us bloggers off?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:22:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

1) You expect a space on our blog featuring your brand but you don't even read our blogs.

"Oh.... So, what do you usually blog about?"

You know, if we're that insignificant, then why invite us to your event in the first place?

2) When you send us small SAMPLE sized products to review.

Seriously, are you trying to say that we are not worthy of a normal sized bottle of your product? Why so stingy?

3) When you ask us....

"So.... When do you think you'll be able to post about our product up on your blog?"

I know you've got KPIs to meet, but you need to realise that we aren't paid to blog about you. Like it or not, we'll post only when we have the free time and only if you give us a reason too. (Not all bloggers are full time bloggers ok. 99% of us are either schooling or working. We need to pay the morgage too.)

4) If you expect us to blog for free AND expect us to pay for your product so that I can blog about it. Sigh..... There was an incident that I encountered where I was OFFERED to do a review of a gadget but yet I was supposed to pay a sum of money first to pay for it. Once I return the product after a week, then I'll get my money back. Why should we pay to do write about you? No names mentioned. I was really pissed the other time actually. I don't understand why other bloggers would agree to such ridiculous terms and conditions.

5) When you conduct blogging contests/make us "ambassadors" so that you can get free publicity from us but at the end of the day, you make us feel like you've "used" us.

There are so many brands out there doing this now, it's so annoying. Sure, this might be an effective way to increase awareness and buzz about your brand. There are ways to avoid making us feel like we're being used. Eg: building relationships with bloggers, read our blogs, show us that you're really interested to collaborate with us, incentives, don't make the mistakes I mentioned in this post.

As bloggers we'd like to be appreciated and be treated with respect. It's not easy to mantain a blog.

Try doing it yourself!

So bloggers, anymore you wanna add to the list?

Currently making changes in my life,if you do not hear from me, you areone of them.

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 06:40:00 +0000

Today, I question the value of our friendship.

I have friends but i don't befriend douchebags. I think i've been fairly nice and tolerant towards you. I tolerated your hurtful and insensitive jokes. I tolerated your rants about your obsession with bikes. Do you how it's like to listen you boasting about the girls you're dating/have dated? *yawns* That's all you talk about. Bikes and girls. It gets really annoying at times.

Until today, it hit me. Why are we even friends? Remember how you would boast about how you and your friends left girls on the expressway, one even at the zoo. Way to go dougebag! The fact that you actually told several people actually shows how proud you were of doing such things. A person who felt guilty, would keep such things to himself. It's disappointing to know that someone i called "A friend" would do such thing to a few girls. You told me those girls "deserved" to be treated like that because they cheated on your friend, made use of your friend yada yada yada. Seriously? Who are you? God? Who are you to decide how a person should be punished for his/her wrongdoings?

What you did simply reflects poorly on your character. You look down on so many people, thinking you're "much better than them".

This friendship is pointless.

Mcdonalds brings joy to the elderly!

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:10:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

Happy.

Eating at Mcdonalds ALWAYS brings a smile to our faces.

Please. Don't pretend.

Are you sure you don't feel happy when you go to McDonalds?

LOOK AT THIS.

*dangles coupon in your face*

Buy one get one~~~

HAPPY RIGHT, HAPPY RIGHT? :D

Anyway, the yummy burger is not the main point of this entry.

McDonald's hosted 38 seniors from the Lion Befrienders Service Association last week for a Chinese New Year dinner and I decided that instead of going home after work, it'll be good if I attended the event because it's for a good cause. I don't actually celebrate Chinese New Year so I thought it would be a good experience to spend the evening with the seniors.

I tried mingling around with the seniors with the limited vocab I picked up while watching chinese dramas. Doesn't she look really happy?

The highlight of my evening.

This uncle took out his handphone and asked me to come nearer to him so that he could take a picture of me. I was so shyyyyy. And then, he asked if he could take a picture with me. So above is a photo of him and me using my camera.

He said that people with a broad nose (yes, like mine) would have alot of luck. Hmmmm.....

He called me "sayang" which means love in malay and hugged and kissed me before saying goodbye! Haha Wow, that was quite a night. Bf said it might be because I like to go for older guys. Hahahaha right!

> ___<""

Have you seen how big Ronald's shoes are? My goodness!

Look at how happy they all look!

After the seniors left, we had our dinner.

Look at those fries!

Anyway, you might be thinking......

"Why is this blogger giving Mcdonalds free publicity? This CNY thing is probably a one off thing to look good. PR lor. Last year kena slammed about not having curry!"

Well, let me share with you my experience with Mcdonalds.

3 years ago, in my first year of Polytechnic education, I had this module that required us to do some community involvement work. Thing is, we were given the freedom to contact, plan and liaise with any communities. The kampong being the kampong, we wanted to do something.... much more fun. Something meaningful. So we contacted Darul Ihsan and volunteered to plan an outing for the 15 underprivileged kids. We did all the planning but one thing we were lacking was... the funds for food.

So my group made wrote an email to McDonalds and asked if they were interested to be our sponsor. It was just a small outing. We planned all sorts of games for them!

15 kids aged 9 to 12

5 of us to be facilitators.

Venue: Botanic Gardens

I was really skeptical that Mcdonalds would even reply us. I mean, why would they even bother. We were just a bunch of poly kids, but to our surprise, McDonalds actually AGREED to sponsor the kids food. We were extremely happy and thankful! Think about it this way. Mcdonalds knew that they probably wouldn't get anything in return for the sponsorship but they still did it for the kids. All of us were very touched by their kindness. Actually, we still are. I would love to post the photos of the outing but we weren't given permission to share photos of the kids online by Darul Ihsan. But rest assured, they were all VERY HAPPY. :)

Once again, thank you Mcdonalds.

Thank you for inviting the old folks and us bloggers to be part of your Chinese New Year dinner. Thank you for also sponsoring our outing's lunch for the Darul Ihsan kids 3 years ago.

Things that you should buy at Daiso

MynameisQUE;

I love Daiso. I get cheap stuff at $2 and most of the time it's pretty useful. I'll update this page every now and then when I get a good buy! :)

Earpiece

You can laugh at me. I'm not a music junkie so I don't see the point investing in "good" headphones. As long as the earpiece works well, it's good enough!

Mini tripod.

Camwhore and put this thing to good use.

Until next time ~~

Sad when people you know become people you knew.

Not in the best of moods. Sometimes, I ask myself why we had to grow up. I'm sure you have this certain period of time you wish you could go back to. Probably a time that you were very happy with life. That period life was treating you extra kindly. Remember? Why do we have to grow up?

I wish I was 15 all over again. We were young, naive, and most importantly everything was so simple back then.

Now, things have changed. The people you know, are now the people you knew. It's disappointing to look at the people around you who have significantly changed for the worse.

Change is constant. Gotta drill that fact into my head. I wish i could stay in Fantasyland forever.

:(

Do you really want "SNOW" on your head?

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 06:29:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

So... In December, we had the Christmas season... You get to see pretty lights everywhere...

And also, lots of SNOW.

Kidding.

That's not snow.... It's DANDRUFF.

Can you see that white stuff on my brother's head? It's not that obvious in the photo but I promise you, it's extremely obvious in real life especially when you wear a black top!

Want a more obvious picture?

Back in primary and secondary school, I used to have very bad dandruff. SO BAD that my scalp bled rather frequently. It's a gross sight, I swear. I felt really shitty everytime someone tells me,

"Eh, there's some white thing in your hair!".

Especially because I'm one of the shortest in class, that also meant that my dandruff was the most obvious and visible to EVERYBODY. Thing is for me, it's my habit to shampoo my hair every morning. So after I bathe, I'll have to go to school and I normally do not have the time to towel dry my hair before tying it up. Especially since in primary school and secondary school, we girls are not allowed to let down our hair, so I had no choice but to tie my hair eventhough it was wet. Now, because I'm in poly, I normally let my hair down and I'll normally just bun it up when it's dry. :)

For me, I do not bathe with warm water. Cold water lessens scalp irritation as compared to cold water. Also, you should NEVER sleep with your hair wet. When you're conditioning your hair, make sure the conditioner doesn't drop onto your scalp. Shampoo is mainly meant for your scalp. That is why, even if you're bald, you SHOULD shampoo your head. Botaks, please take note. Conditioner is more for hair care. Also, dandruff develops when you don't wash your shampoo off your head properly. If you've been feeling stressed and have not been sleeping well you might also develop sudden dandruff. If you don't do all these and yet STILL have dandruff, then maybe.... You haven't been bathing enough. Please bathe and shampoo your hair!! :)

And if you have dandruff please don't use ANY KIND of shampoo. There are SPECIAL shampoos for dandruff like...

Clear anti dandruff shampoo!

(Left, for men and right, for women. :)

What Clear does?

•Builds the scalp’s natural defence to fight against dandruff-‐causing factors

•Penetrates three layers deep into the scalp to repair the scalp’s natural barrier

•Eliminates and clears dandruff from the scalp surface

I tried these 2 versions and I personally love the Ice Cool Menthol version. After massaging your scalp with this shampoo, it really feels shiok! :)

Women’s shampoos:
$9.40 for 350ml,
$14.30 for 700ml

I also tried the men's version on my brother. He has ALOT of dandruff, it's gross.

Men’s shampoos:

$10.30 for 350ml,

$15.70 for 700ml

And he too prefers the menthol version because of the shiok feeling after that. It's minty and it really feels therapeutic! You'll feel really fresh after that. No kidding.

For me there was improvement and I had less dandruff in the span of a week, however for my brother, his dandruff didn't really improve much. I guess this product works differently for diferent people. Nevertheless,
I would still recommend this product to you if you're having any dandruff! :)

Clear can be found at most major supermakets.

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND DESERVE A BREAK. Couples Retreat for you? ~~ :)

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 05:44:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

In a crazy country like Singapore, when both partners are working, it gets a little too crazy and you don’t spend much time with each other anymore. Now, most of the time your attention is on either

1) YOUR KIDS

2) YOUR WORK

Don’t you think it’s time to take a break and spend quality time with your beloved partner?
We all know that communication is key in every relationship. When's the last time you actually had a heart to heart talk with your partner?

Imagine this.

A fully planned Cinta Nan Satu Couple Retreat programme for

You + Hubby

Here at Pulai Spring Resort & Spa,

Johor Bahru, Malaysia. (5 Star resort btw!! ;)

Away from your kids!

Actually can still bring them along however, extra charges apply but someone will be babysitting them there and there's activities planned for them too. Actually, the best will be to get someone to look after while you're gone. (Ask your parents/parents in law etc).

And it's only for $155 PER COUPLE

Includes meals, hotel, coach to Johor (to and fro). I think it's WORTH IT. Firstly, you don't even have to worry about planning the couple retreat. All you have to do is register, come with your hubby and enjoyyy yourself. It's a good deal! There'll be activities lines up for you AND chances for you to win exciting prizes like netbook, camera, LCD TV, DVD recorder etc. Wah!! So fun. Honestly wish I was married and maybe i could join you all. :P

Anyway, did I tell you that there are only slots for

15 COUPLES?

For registration or further enquiries, contact Haslinda at 91276163 or you can choose to email them directly at prowise2005@gmail.com. LIKE them on FACEBOOK too to get updates!

Last day to register will be 31st January 2012.

2 WEEKS FROM NOW!

Anyway, my cousin will be one of the facilatators for this couple's retreat, so if you have any questions, you can tweet me @RynaQue and I'll get her to contact you straight. :>

While you're at it, I think it's always important to remind your partner how much you love them.

Call them now and say the 3 magic words. ;)

For more information, please refer to this poster. :)

Girls and their hairy obsession

noreply@blogger.com (RynaQUE) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:07:00 +0000

MynameisQUE;

(Not paid to share this)

Recently, my bestfriend and I went back to BONAFIDES to do hair treatment. I blogged about my experience at the parlour recently, but that time I went for a massage.

This time, it was hair treatment. The kind PR people from Bonafides gave me a discount which was too difficult to resist! In the end, my bff signed up for the hair treatment package because we both thought that it would be good to pamper our hair every once a month. :)

The treatment we did is called the Nano Treatment, which is specially imported from Japan. Basically, it's a 3 step treatment. If you're interested, feel free to drop them a line!

There was definitely a difference in my hair after the treatment! My hair stylist also trimmed my hair. :)

I had a good time.

Thank you Bonafides and see you soon!
