I haven&#39;t had much time to blog due to my busy lifestyle&amp;nbsp;but in case you&#39;re interested to know, I was featured in&lt;span style=&quot;color: magenta;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;two magazines, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;one after another!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, no matter how busy one is, I&#39;ve always emphasized on taking good care of our skin - especially for girls. There&#39;s no denying that I am vain like that&amp;nbsp;- and I think beauty/ skincare&amp;nbsp;sponsors already know that and hence I&#39;m always receiving more facial masks&amp;nbsp;in comparison to&amp;nbsp;other products for review hahahaha! So let&#39;s get straight to the point now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some sponsored box of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;LOVEMORE&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;SEXY LOOK&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;masks goodness arrived at my doorstep:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4c6z3UDhhM0/U1EghgBZ4yI/AAAAAAAACVE/zdKqkdeys9c/s1600/Lovemore+zzb1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4c6z3UDhhM0/U1EghgBZ4yI/AAAAAAAACVE/zdKqkdeys9c/s1600/Lovemore+zzb1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I&#39;ll only be reviewing the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;LOVEMORE Water Beauty Series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;There is a range of them out there in the market but I was specially given the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;Deep Sea Water Hydrating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; mask as I have quite a dry facial skin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c1w2VcWqYwU/U1ErpJA1NsI/AAAAAAAACVk/1yI-nE2wP-A/s1600/Lovemore+zazabong.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c1w2VcWqYwU/U1ErpJA1NsI/AAAAAAAACVk/1yI-nE2wP-A/s1600/Lovemore+zazabong.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, this mask have been given a&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;New Upgrade&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;– the mask is formulated with triple moisture-lock for long-lasting hydration and moisturizing, with a thinner mask sheet&amp;nbsp;containing more generous essence!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be honest, most of the masks I&#39;ve usually tried in my life&amp;nbsp;are the ones meant for brightening my skin etc. I&#39;ve never really thought of putting on facial&amp;nbsp;masks to hydrate my skin (I usually use spring water spray to do that instead of masks). So I thought it&#39;ll be a nice change to try out LOVEMORE water beauty series mask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Review of LOVEMOREDeep Sea Hydrating mask&amp;nbsp;after use:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The mask definitely had &lt;b&gt;LOTS of&amp;nbsp;essence&lt;/b&gt; in it&amp;nbsp;(til it was overflowing a little from the&amp;nbsp;package itself). When I removed the mask from my face, I believe most of the&amp;nbsp;essence was already &lt;b&gt;well-absorbed&lt;/b&gt; into my skin.&amp;nbsp;I could see that my face was &lt;b&gt;moisturized &lt;/b&gt;and not dry looking at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;No smell or fragrance&lt;/b&gt; (which I think is good, since its meant to hydrate only!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Felt rather &lt;b&gt;refreshing &lt;/b&gt;after use (face seemed slightly brighter too)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Most importantly, the &lt;b&gt;layout &lt;/b&gt;of the mask was pretty &lt;b&gt;generous&lt;/b&gt; - I do have a small face and so the mask was&amp;nbsp;slightly big for me BUT I think if you have a n average/ bigger face, the mask would fit your face shape&amp;nbsp;really well without leaving out any parts of your face. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only gripe I had about&amp;nbsp;the mask&amp;nbsp;though was that my face felt&lt;b&gt; sticky&lt;/b&gt; right after using the mask. I had to wipe and wash my face thereafter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Ratings:&lt;/span&gt; 6.5/ 10&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;LOVEMORE Water Beauty Series&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

He is right. One should only look forward and not backwards.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;No &#39;What Ifs&#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The core happiness in life is to truly live&amp;nbsp;my life the way I want&amp;nbsp;in this one lifetime without holding back. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Love freely, laugh freely, run freely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; There shouldn&#39;t be too many &quot;what ifs&quot; in life - and I KNOW that I don&#39;t wanna talk about these &quot;what ifs&quot; when I&#39;m old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uL-GELLW9iw/Uj2SQie-AAI/AAAAAAAACQM/b4E8d0Nwuoc/s1600/Quote91.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uL-GELLW9iw/Uj2SQie-AAI/AAAAAAAACQM/b4E8d0Nwuoc/s400/Quote91.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Life has been such a wonderful journey.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve somewhat&amp;nbsp;found my calling.&lt;br /&gt;I say &quot;somewhat&quot; because I don&#39;t believe in living in just ONE dream at&amp;nbsp;a time. I&#39;m not greedy. Its just that I know where I want to go and be at in life one day + how to get there through my sheer determination. Moreover, life is short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And believe me, everyone has a talent, so I hope you&#39;ll&amp;nbsp;find yours too if you haven&#39;t. Just do yourself a favour - &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS. GO FOR IT! - Even if some people tell you otherwise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lastly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being able to do what&amp;nbsp;I really love&amp;nbsp;to do (aka passion) and being able to achieve a part of&amp;nbsp;my dream&amp;nbsp;through&amp;nbsp;my own&amp;nbsp;hard work now&amp;nbsp;(and the support received from my loved ones and friends) is nothing less than a blessing. I am very happy and thankful to have each one of them in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw.&lt;br /&gt;I just have the strong urge to comment on the recent news&amp;nbsp;about &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Xie Shaoguang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; becoming a monk for real. I think he&#39;s &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;fantastic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Totally respect him for following his desired path by leaving all his fame behind. I don&#39;t think its easy to leave one&#39;s fame, accredits and riches&amp;nbsp;just like that but he did it yo. He wasn&#39;t just an actor mind you, but an award winning one AND&amp;nbsp;he was really&amp;nbsp;THAT popular amongst the old generation and the 80s kid who grew up watching him on tv in the 90s (like me). He has my respect!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Reference: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lollipop.sg/content/he-has-entered-another-realm-says-anthony-chen-who-waited-3-hours-vain-xie-shaoguang-0&quot;&gt;http://www.lollipop.sg/content/he-has-entered-another-realm-says-anthony-chen-who-waited-3-hours-vain-xie-shaoguang-0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W8Cx7OLZjSE/Uj2TaPrTqaI/AAAAAAAACQU/UWGZUSfL6Bs/s1600/XieShaoguang1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W8Cx7OLZjSE/Uj2TaPrTqaI/AAAAAAAACQU/UWGZUSfL6Bs/s400/XieShaoguang1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;205&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9yZkmDBzDPQ/Uj2TcjS2ZoI/AAAAAAAACQc/hWFt9LkPNo0/s1600/XieShaoguang2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;234&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9yZkmDBzDPQ/Uj2TcjS2ZoI/AAAAAAAACQc/hWFt9LkPNo0/s320/XieShaoguang2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;*Images as credited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Frank Sinatra would&amp;nbsp;tell you&amp;nbsp;- now, &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THAT&#39;S LIFE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do whatever you want.

The Deep Exfoliating Gel helps to &lt;b&gt;clear off dead skin and blackheads&lt;/b&gt; etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica-Bold; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In fact, I love the Radiant Youth Essence a lot! I noticed that it&amp;nbsp;sort of &lt;b&gt;brightens up the skin&lt;/b&gt; a little by little each time it is used (which I believe that frequent use will have more impact on the results). It gives &lt;b&gt;a radiant glow&lt;/b&gt; to the skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica-Bold; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I can&#39;t quite&amp;nbsp;make up my mind&amp;nbsp;on the Face Lifting Cream though because I naturally already have a V-shaped face, so its hard to tell. But be assured, that the packaging even provides a cute measuring tape for you to monitor its effects on your face. So try&amp;nbsp;the cream, measure your face&amp;nbsp;and see if it works for you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;

Now its truly personalized and truly MY mask.&amp;nbsp;#SoSatisfiedWithIt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I walked around hazy Singapore with it&amp;nbsp;since I had to work and run an errand before heading back home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HqKt2blGozw/UcSW80eY8qI/AAAAAAAACPM/fmMSK278Sbg/s1600/GeorgeZaMask2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HqKt2blGozw/UcSW80eY8qI/AAAAAAAACPM/fmMSK278Sbg/s640/GeorgeZaMask2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kJAgS_vdgRQ/UcRT_iCxxNI/AAAAAAAACO8/LwmmouwY9tM/s1600/George+and+Zar+21+June+2013.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;I REPEAT.

So fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;LIGHTER&lt;/strong&gt; note, &lt;strong&gt;THANK YOU&lt;/strong&gt; Indonesia/ Sumatra&amp;nbsp;for the gift of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, I&#39;m not acting like a spoilt child because of the haze (that&#39;s what Indonesia&#39;s minister said of us it seems). Instead, I transform into a fighting ninja to fight the haze with my mask!!

But I&#39;ve never been given any from the &lt;strong&gt;Deep Moist&lt;/strong&gt; range before.

I love how the new packaging looks dark, icy-like &amp;amp; mysterious. It looks&amp;nbsp;so COOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PqVl8NI4u4M/UaJJqoW9WOI/AAAAAAAACOQ/FafQ58tHVCQ/s1600/Mentho+zzb2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PqVl8NI4u4M/UaJJqoW9WOI/AAAAAAAACOQ/FafQ58tHVCQ/s320/Mentho+zzb2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;195&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;What are its&amp;nbsp;key moisturizing ingredients?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: magenta;&quot;&gt;1) Hyaluronic Acid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(a premium ingredient that forms a smooth, moisture locking shield for softer, smoother lips). It can hold 1000X its weight in water, or 6 litres of water with just 1g. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: magenta;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) Shea Butter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(heals the skin and gives a soft, pleasant texture to the lip balm)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: magenta;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) Jojoba Oil&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(gives pro-longed, whole day hydration to the lips)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And&amp;nbsp;its added winning formula is attributed to its &lt;strong&gt;ergonomic packaging design&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BNid7_2BdNA/UaJLG1cFtzI/AAAAAAAACOc/cIpbxHw2mMQ/s1600/Mentho+zzb1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BNid7_2BdNA/UaJLG1cFtzI/AAAAAAAACOc/cIpbxHw2mMQ/s320/Mentho+zzb1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I like how the Deep Moist lip balm comes in an oval-shaped container design that fits the corner of the mouth well &amp;amp; so it makes it easy to apply with just a single swipe! No need to &quot;mop&quot; your lip balm on your lips left and right with all sorts of weird&amp;nbsp;angles&amp;nbsp;LOL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;My Verdict&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- No smell/fragrance whatsoever&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Not sticky&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Smooth texture on the lips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Long lasting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you noticed my lips on the top image in this post, I actually applied&amp;nbsp;my own lipstick &lt;strong&gt;after &lt;/strong&gt;applying the lip balm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Its perfect.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my personal opinion, Mentholatum is a trusted brand and so, &lt;strong&gt;THANK YOU&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mentholatum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for sponsoring me with lip balms all these while, I love them!

It makes or breaks the deal. Believe me, I can never tolerate anything that is sticky except for chewing/bubble gums hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So here&#39;s&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;verdict for this new and improved lotion&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Texture&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Its the same water-based and colourless lotion as its &#39;ancestor&#39;.&amp;nbsp;Free of fragrance&amp;nbsp;or any sort of smell&amp;nbsp;(otherwise it might feel as though you are putting on perfume on your face!)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Moisturizing Effect&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Same effect as before! It gets absorbed into my skin in less than a couple of  seconds and quite immediately, I felt my skin tighten a bit - and it moisturizes  the skin too. In fact, this time round&amp;nbsp;I noticed a slightly sparkly skin upon application.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Sticky or not?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Haha I told you already!

The visuals were amazingly beautiful&amp;nbsp;and there was a great selection&amp;nbsp;of music.. I fell in love with it, especially with the dance numbers. Its the kind of classic movie that I wish&amp;nbsp;I was in. Maybe&amp;nbsp;my soul&amp;nbsp;belongs to the 20s era afterall.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gala premiere cocktail began at 6pm.

Then Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (played by Leonardo DiCaprio)&amp;nbsp;and Nick is enchanted into the captivating world of the super rich. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who have not watched &lt;strong&gt;The Great Gatsby&lt;/strong&gt; yet, these are the &lt;strong&gt;main&amp;nbsp;characters&lt;/strong&gt; that&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;think you should closely&amp;nbsp;look out for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Jay Gatsby &lt;/strong&gt;(played by Leonardo DiCaprio)&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Nick Carraway&lt;/strong&gt; (played by Tobey Maguire)&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Daisy Buchanan&lt;/strong&gt; (played by Carey Mulligan)&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Tom Buchanan&lt;/strong&gt; (played by Joel Edgerton)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also occurred to me how &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Leonardo DiCaprio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; from the Titanic had &lt;strong&gt;aged so much&lt;/strong&gt;. No one can escape from the clutches of time eh?! But he&#39;s like fine wine, what&#39;s there to complain?&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿﻿&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YlJQ8xv1Wl0/UZeC-iDzd9I/AAAAAAAACNY/LXVwF6zexJs/s1600/Leonardo.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YlJQ8xv1Wl0/UZeC-iDzd9I/AAAAAAAACNY/LXVwF6zexJs/s400/Leonardo.jpg&quot; width=&quot;315&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;*Image credit to imgfave.com&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes, Bollywood&#39;s most acclaimed actor Amitabh Bachan made an appearance in the movie too.

Because whatever that was uttered towards the ending of The Great Gatsby made lots of sense (in real life). It was meaningful. Go watch it! &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;In case you are interested to know...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The Great Gatsby&lt;/span&gt; is an adaptation from&amp;nbsp;a novel.&lt;br /&gt;(And if you google further, you&#39;ll realize that the original author of the novel, F.&amp;nbsp;Scott Fitzgerald,&amp;nbsp;actually died thinking that his work was a failure as only 20, 000&amp;nbsp;copies were sold when it was first published in the 1920s. Who would have known that years later, his work would become popular and now, its even on our big screen!

I was in a friend&#39;s friend&#39;s&amp;nbsp;car on my way back after midnight when that friend suddenly mentioned that he had passed away at about 5pm. It was so shocking and grieving, I must say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would have thought he&#39;d die of lymphoma at age 60? That&#39;s too soon to be called back to heaven. And the irony of it all, he died a day before Star Awards 2013, while he&#39;s still in the running for the category of &quot;Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste&quot;.&amp;nbsp; :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grew up watching him on TV since I was a kid. &lt;br /&gt;And he had always&amp;nbsp;made an impression on me&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;like the uncle who is not related to you, the uncle you&#39;ve never met but &#39;known&#39; all your life. Someone you don&#39;t know but wish&amp;nbsp;them well&amp;nbsp;wherever&amp;nbsp;they are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My deep condolences to his family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oU15Asffvsk/UXPGSFBvGII/AAAAAAAACLY/KYER0xFG6n0/s1600/huangwenyong.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;363&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oU15Asffvsk/UXPGSFBvGII/AAAAAAAACLY/KYER0xFG6n0/s640/huangwenyong.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entertainment industry has definitely loss &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;a man of&amp;nbsp;humble character&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;great talent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I think what I really liked about Huang Wenyong is that, he was never that &quot;Superstar&quot; nor glamorous when he was alive. He didn&#39;t throw&amp;nbsp;airs.&amp;nbsp;He was just him - an actor who acted and still carried on with his life as normal as you and me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May you rest in peace, Huang Wenyong.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You&#39;ll always be remembered.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Updated 24/4/2013:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;His funeral procession was today and here&#39;s a video link of it:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.todayonline.com/videos/farewell-television-icon-huang-wenyong&quot;&gt;http://www.todayonline.com/videos/farewell-television-icon-huang-wenyong&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s really sad and I cried&amp;nbsp;as I watched the video.&lt;br /&gt;Spending his lifetime dedicating to his passion, he then disappears from the world just like that the moment the coffin goes in.

The same seems to apply between 9.00pm to 10.30pm (but I&#39;m not too concerned about the issue at&amp;nbsp;night, so that&#39;s okay).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve heard from PLENTY of friends and colleagues about how difficult it is to get a cab these days.

You mean &lt;strong&gt;EVERY SINGLE COMFORT &amp;amp; CITYCAB&amp;nbsp;TAXI DRIVER has to eat breakfast at that same hour?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;This is RIDICULOUS.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or correct me if I&#39;m wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there truly a shortage of taxis?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But I don&#39;t think so. I&#39;ve been seeing SO MANY empty taxis passing by without bothering to stop at all during these hours.

After spraying, just leave it as it is. But of course, I would say that the quality of your make-up product matters too. So its hard to say if it&#39;ll smudge&amp;nbsp;YOUR make-up or not, but it definitely worked well&amp;nbsp;for me.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Rating:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 9/10&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica-Bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Size &amp;amp; Price:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;25ml RSP: $5.90 Size: 100ml RSP: $12.90 Size: 300ml RSP: $28.90&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ways to Use the Bio Spring Water:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyimJbSb36I/USosmkSYDfI/AAAAAAAACIc/iolHQ1y-Ysc/s1600/BioEssenseDirection.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;456&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyimJbSb36I/USosmkSYDfI/AAAAAAAACIc/iolHQ1y-Ysc/s640/BioEssenseDirection.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And the best part?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;BOTH MALES AND FEMALES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; can use it!

I&#39;m a super fan, I tell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cg14rweAa74/UQPAfDBgV-I/AAAAAAAAB7U/Au2KD4Xayoo/s1600/Biore1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cg14rweAa74/UQPAfDBgV-I/AAAAAAAAB7U/Au2KD4Xayoo/s1600/Biore1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what can this &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0c343d; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;new Biore facial form series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; do for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) It has &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;HIGH cleansing ability&lt;/span&gt; (I am sure it does, come on... I&#39;ve been using the scrub&amp;nbsp;for years dude!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;LOW irritation&lt;/span&gt; as cleansing chemical does not penetrate skin &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) The first cleanser that works to &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;rebalance skin&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;REDUCE oil at T-zone&lt;/span&gt; (forehead and nose) and &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;REPLENISH moisture&lt;/span&gt; at U-zone (cheek and chin)&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Has &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;skin purifying technology&lt;/span&gt; (Leaves no residue, no irritation, vitalizes skin)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Biore says that there will be skin improvement in 14 days of continous usage, I personally do not like to pile&amp;nbsp;products on my face everyday. So I&#39;d personally recommend using it once every 2-3 days. Thats just my personal opinion of couse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(And I know, I repeated the word &quot;personal&quot; 3 times here HAHA)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4yjb3xxZCnU/UQPDfZojdWI/AAAAAAAAB8g/hHOaoVZaTow/s1600/Biore2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Biore products came in the big box as shown below. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_iYSDXm-C_Q/UQVVYuogGpI/AAAAAAAACAk/lgehmTimryI/s1600/Biore3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_iYSDXm-C_Q/UQVVYuogGpI/AAAAAAAACAk/lgehmTimryI/s400/Biore3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don&#39;t already know,&amp;nbsp;I like to be surprised. So when I received the box, it&amp;nbsp;made me curious. I peeled off the scotch tapes at the sides and slowly peeped in. And I GRINNED, because it had another pretty pink packaging INSIDE the box, with not one but TWO products&amp;nbsp;- what a pleasant surprise! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0pT_7oWObKs/UQVV9aTLnqI/AAAAAAAACAs/VksFnCE2aj4/s1600/Biore5.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0pT_7oWObKs/UQVV9aTLnqI/AAAAAAAACAs/VksFnCE2aj4/s640/Biore5.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e06666;&quot;&gt;MY DARLING BIORE&amp;nbsp;SCRUB AND BIORE (Mild) TONER!! THANK YOU FOR COMING TO ME!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Albeit having used the older versions of Biore products (especially the scrub) before, I was definitely excited to try the new ones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I tried the scrub first, followed by the mild toner (wash them one after the other).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have no helper to help me take pics, I can&#39;t show you pics of me washing my face with it blah blah blah but trust me I did - especially when I&#39;m a SUPER-LONG-TIME-FAITHFUL user of Biore lol! (Anyway, do note that when you begin to wash, it will&amp;nbsp;turn to foam - so use it sparingly on your face. Afterwhich, you&#39;ll have to thoroughly wash it off with water.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;And after using it..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;No doubt about it, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Biore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; never fails me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m a happy girl!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Review on Biore Scrub:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could feel the micro beads all over my face as I gently&amp;nbsp;pressed my fingers to do a circular motion on each part of my face. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, after I washed it off, &lt;strong&gt;the result was immediate&lt;/strong&gt;. I could visibly see:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- a much brighter skin tone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- a clean flawless&amp;nbsp;face (dirts and make-up smudge reside&amp;nbsp;seems to have scrubbed off)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- a perky feel (it really rejuvenates my&amp;nbsp;skin in my opinion!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- soft supple skin (it didn&#39;t use to feel this way with the previous version of Biore scrub)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;-&amp;nbsp;skins feels&amp;nbsp;VERY refreshed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- has a very light fresh scent (Its not a scent actually, but just this very light fresh.. I dont know what to call it.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- no irritation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Ratings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;10/10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Review on Biore Toner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The toner made my face feel so refreshed too. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;It doesn&#39;t&amp;nbsp;make my face feel&amp;nbsp;too dry or oily&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The scrub + toner&amp;nbsp;kept my face feeling great for hours!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I used both the Biore scrub AND toner together, the effects are as written above. I believe the combination really gave me &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a super refreshed, light, soft &amp;amp; brighter&amp;nbsp;skin within mere&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;minutes!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Ratings:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; 9/10&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(9 out of 10 because I&amp;nbsp;am loyal to the&amp;nbsp;scrub more than the toner for years and my scrub will feel indignant if I gave full marks to the toner hahaha!)&amp;nbsp; :P&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P/S:&lt;/strong&gt; The mild toner is for those with normal to&amp;nbsp;combination T-zone face. If you have a super dry and dehydrated face, then you should be using the Extra Moist Toner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biore Skin Facial Foam Series:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4yjb3xxZCnU/UQPDfZojdWI/AAAAAAAAB8g/hHOaoVZaTow/s1600/Biore2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;476&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4yjb3xxZCnU/UQPDfZojdWI/AAAAAAAAB8g/hHOaoVZaTow/s640/Biore2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, its really difficult to do a review on a product that you love, trust and believe in (&lt;strong&gt;just like how its difficult to review a person you love IN WORDS&lt;/strong&gt;).&amp;nbsp;The scrub and toner is&amp;nbsp;so effective (and have always been)&amp;nbsp;that I can&#39;t describe it in words. And this new one is definitely better!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;DISCLAIMER:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What works for me might not work for everybody.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I&#39;ve been a &lt;strong&gt;loyal user of Biore for its scrub &lt;/strong&gt;for plenty of years and I stick to it because it works. It suits my skin and its a perfect product for me. So, do give this a try if you have faith in it - you could start off with a small portion of your hands etc to test for reactions first. If it works for you great, then do give it a go on your face at your own discretion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;Also, I personally don&#39;t have problems with pimples/scars/blemish/acnes etc on my face&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - I only get mini pimples sometimes when I have menses and mini&amp;nbsp;scars when I poke at the pimples.&amp;nbsp;But Biore scrub&amp;nbsp;+&amp;nbsp;toner really helps me to get rid of those facial areas that look dark,&amp;nbsp;oily, with make-up residue, pimple scar&amp;nbsp;etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It gives me confidence, knowing in my heart that my face will be clean and healed within just a few days, especially if I have important events to attend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0c343d; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;And I actually feel touched and happy to do this blog post&lt;/span&gt; coz I&#39;m recommending &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;a product that I truly love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and&amp;nbsp;I hope it will be beneficial to my readers too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;My Last Words&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am also someone who believes in the magic of&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;WATER&lt;/span&gt;. I wash my face with plain water twice every day. I believe it helps to moisturize and clears some dirty away. In fact, I&#39;ve been washing my face with ONLY water and nothing else - all the way til I reached my 20s - and&amp;nbsp;I still had nice clean skin.&amp;nbsp;Not scientifically proven to help but I&amp;nbsp;firmly think&amp;nbsp;it does - I call it the natural healing method&amp;nbsp;lol.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you for the sponsorship! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Much love to Biore!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loves,  &lt;br /&gt;With lots of sweets &amp;amp; chocolates.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;And I told you so.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zazabong.blogspot.com/feeds/5349860661838306071/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4617171699888990070&amp;postID=5349860661838306071&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4617171699888990070/posts/default/5349860661838306071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4617171699888990070/posts/default/5349860661838306071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zazabong.blogspot.com/2013/01/sponsored-review-biore-new-facial-foam.html' title='Sponsored Review: Biore NEW Facial Foam (Scrub &amp; Toner)'/><author><name>Zazabong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10960851695768134933</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vKo3piOGttI/UQVU-0qDxhI/AAAAAAAACAc/qAyEFp7yn74/s72-c/Biore6.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4617171699888990070.post-1758757075426268252</id><published>2013-01-27T01:54:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2013-01-27T02:16:41.547+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="happening"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="My Say"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="News"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Random"/><title type='text'>Where is the love at PIE crash, Uncle Lorry?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[NEWS SPOTLIGHT!]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The spotlight on lorry driver, Mr Goh Yu Zhong, 52 years old, has incurred the wrath of all online keyboard warriors in Singapore&amp;nbsp;who have watched the video of the lorry-motorbike&amp;nbsp;crash which happened on 18 January 2013 at the PIE (Eng Neo to Steven Road). The videos has gone viral and he&#39;s been termed as a &quot;road bully&quot; ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(To my foreign readers: PIE refers to&amp;nbsp;one of the&amp;nbsp;expressway in Singapore)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And&amp;nbsp;it so happens that&amp;nbsp;the motorist, Hazel Ng,&amp;nbsp;is my friend&#39;s friend. To think that I had just met her recently&amp;nbsp;during a gathering and BAAAAAM, by a twist of fate, she&#39;s now badly injured in the hospital because of one man&#39;s reckless act. It is really sad to hear (and to&amp;nbsp;watch on the video) how one&#39;s precious life could be affected/ almost taken away within mere seconds on the road. &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Life is so unpredictable, and yet, its unsettling to see that&amp;nbsp;some tragedies are man-made.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do&amp;nbsp;refer to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;v=GlxUp7UU6qM&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this youtube link&lt;/a&gt; for the video. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Who&#39;s to blame for the crash?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&#39;t know, but it&#39;s definitely&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;the motorbike rider. &lt;br /&gt;Not because I&#39;m&amp;nbsp;an acquaintance but hell,&amp;nbsp;its evident that&amp;nbsp;she was&amp;nbsp;riding steadily on that lane&amp;nbsp;and the lorry&amp;nbsp;simply decided to move in close and&amp;nbsp;ram&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;her motorbike off&amp;nbsp;at the PIE&amp;nbsp;- &lt;strong&gt;JUST LIKE THAT&lt;/strong&gt;. Thank God for the helmet, at least her head was protected to keep her alive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dear Lorry&amp;nbsp;Uncle,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDvdD-Bwxk4/UQQSUB4SepI/AAAAAAAAB90/zUf4zPHKxEM/s1600/RoadUsers.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDvdD-Bwxk4/UQQSUB4SepI/AAAAAAAAB90/zUf4zPHKxEM/s640/RoadUsers.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Okay, maybe&amp;nbsp;he is&amp;nbsp;not like that.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what really happened (besides&amp;nbsp;the view from the camera in the car behind)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&#39;ll try not to judge coz...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;1) I don&#39;t know much about the rules of the road since I don&#39;t drive. Many people online mentioned&amp;nbsp;key words like&amp;nbsp;road hogging, the lorry not supposed to be on lane 1, blind spots,&amp;nbsp;speed limits&amp;nbsp;etc etc. I don&#39;t drive and I don&#39;t know these things, so I can&#39;t&amp;nbsp;make judgements&amp;nbsp;for sure.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;2) The lorry driver may or may not have had his difficulties when the accident happened (though I can&#39;t&amp;nbsp;figure out&amp;nbsp;what exactly it could be, so bizarre).&amp;nbsp;Was he on the phone? Did he imagine a vehicle speeding&amp;nbsp;behind towards his lorrry and so he quickly went to lane 2 only to realize that he was gonna knock the motorbike over? Was he day dreaming and thinking of something else? Or did he do it purposely out of angst?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, let the traffic police do their work. &lt;br /&gt;(It is claimed&amp;nbsp;that he wasn&#39;t much&amp;nbsp;remorseful and even took away the umbrella that was used to shield the victim from the heat of the sun.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Either the one who gave the account&amp;nbsp;OR the driver is a big liar - with regards to the umbrella matter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.) I personally think its strange though -&amp;nbsp;why would&amp;nbsp;an accused&amp;nbsp;even bother taking away the umbrella from the witness(es) at the accident scene? That&#39;s weird, and certainly stupid, and not to mention, plain heartless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nevertheless.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If&amp;nbsp;his reckless act&amp;nbsp;was on purpose, that is so vengeful and evil. &lt;br /&gt;I really&amp;nbsp;hope he didn&#39;t do this on purpose. If he had, then the pressure that he&#39;s feeling from the media and netizens is really nothing. He should be heavily penalized for his rash act (if he&#39;s proven guilty of&amp;nbsp;causing injury&amp;nbsp;on purpose that is). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L86E3p0vs0E/UQQSEGc5OiI/AAAAAAAAB9s/f9LUrjCr2Do/s1600/WhereIsTheLove.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L86E3p0vs0E/UQQSEGc5OiI/AAAAAAAAB9s/f9LUrjCr2Do/s400/WhereIsTheLove.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again,&amp;nbsp;let&#39;s&amp;nbsp;give&amp;nbsp;him the&lt;strong&gt; benefit of the doubt&lt;/strong&gt; til the press releases more information about his statement to the police etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it&#39;s all too clear in the video to see who&#39;s to be blamed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&#39;t know.&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;guess... I&#39;m just&amp;nbsp;hoping that he didn&#39;t do this on purpose so that I may&lt;strong&gt; see some hope in humanity&lt;/strong&gt; amongst road users (and in this world).

It is not only unbearable because I dislike the&amp;nbsp;weird&amp;nbsp;greasy feeling but.. its just not acceptable in my beauty&amp;nbsp;dictionary. I strongly believe that all oily things on the&amp;nbsp;body/face skin&amp;nbsp;will cause breakouts - which also explains&amp;nbsp;why I have very clear facial&amp;nbsp;skin with zero pimples (or one if I&#39;m having pms) coz I&#39;m very anal about the oily concept. Lol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;However,&amp;nbsp;sunscreens are an exception because&amp;nbsp;I am &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;a firm believer&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;protecting&amp;nbsp;my skin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; from the harmful UV rays from the sun. Even then, the&amp;nbsp;sun blocks/sunscreens&amp;nbsp;I&#39;ve used before are all too greasy - not to my liking at all. So I was a bit&amp;nbsp;curious when I received the NEW Sunplay Skin Aqua -&amp;nbsp;so if you don&#39;t try, you won&#39;t know right?!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;

Fragrance free indeed and thats great because some other&amp;nbsp;sunscreens I have&amp;nbsp;used during my teenage days used to smell like&amp;nbsp;fried bananas..&amp;nbsp;or car petrols.. or... ok I&amp;nbsp;can&#39;t remember&amp;nbsp;how smelly sunscreens smells like anymore but you get the idea!&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;(I hope one day&amp;nbsp;there will be&amp;nbsp;a sunscreen that gives off&amp;nbsp;strawberry/ fruity smell hehe.) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;It looks&amp;nbsp;like milk! &lt;b&gt;Very smooth flow of&amp;nbsp;milky-like watery&amp;nbsp;liquid&lt;/b&gt; which&amp;nbsp;glides right from my fingertips to my arms/legs/skin. I like that.&amp;nbsp;Because it doesn&#39;t look like oil since it doesn&#39;t contain oil!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s the tricky part. For someone like me who is very fussy about greasy textures, how does this sunscreen works for me? I&#39;d say... it works quite well! I&#39;d give 8.5/10 just for the texture because I&#39;ve never seen a sunscreen that is &lt;b&gt;NOT SO&amp;nbsp;greasy/sticky&lt;/b&gt; before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;It &lt;b&gt;IS waterproof&lt;/b&gt; indeed. I tested it by sprinkling bits of water but the sunscreen didn&#39;t run or get dry. It leaves the skin moisturized, WITH that needed protection on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;I can&#39;t taste Solarex 3 so I can&#39;t tell you how deep it went into my skin hahaha. But I sure felt &lt;b&gt;very protected&lt;/b&gt; with that knowledge stored at the back of my head. Moreover, SPF 50 is already good enough IMO.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;Comes in a lovely&amp;nbsp;small&amp;nbsp;container that you can easily keep in your bag. Its so &lt;b&gt;easy to carry around&lt;/b&gt; because of its bag-friendly size /design.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Rating:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;8 /10&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think what really impressed me is that it doesn&#39;t feel too sticky at all, has a nice liquid texture that doesn&#39;t make me squirm and of course, the Solarex 3 sounds like a great&amp;nbsp;protection plan to me&amp;nbsp;because I&#39;m just&amp;nbsp;afraid of&amp;nbsp;receiving too much exposure from the sun.&amp;nbsp;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;

life should be an adventure&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Life begins when we&#39;re a tiny bubble called foetus and life ends when the soul departs from the body. Its as simple as that to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what goes in that ONE life we have, to me - is something very important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I admit that I have traits of a perfectionist in some aspects of life but ironically, I feel that life doesn&#39;t have to be 100% planned, beautifully arranged or perfect but rather, it has to be &lt;b&gt;MEANINGFUL&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;EXCITING&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;FULL OF VIGOUR&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, I want to be the one who determines how my life should be as I ride my own adventure. I like that &lt;b&gt;empowerment to do as I please in my life&lt;/b&gt;. Which also explains why I&#39;m rarely intimidated by anyone. In fact, the more any one tries to &#39;tie me up&#39; or attempt to threaten me, the easier it gets for me to fight, say goodbye and walk the opposite direction. I&#39;m an effin&#39; rebel. Lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;So I&#39;m here to share with you the&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; 5 BEST things that one should do while you&#39;re still in your 20s.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Its NOW or NEVER.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;1)&amp;nbsp; DATE, BREAK UP and DATE again til you find the imperfect person that suits you perfectly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Why  settle for less when you aren&#39;t sure about what you&#39;re getting into?  You have a lifetime to live with that one person. So take your time, no  pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2) Dare to take CAREER RISKS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Quit the job that doesn&#39;t satisfy your soul &amp;amp; pocket. Reach out for your goals and dreams. Keep trying (even after you&#39;ve hit the big 30)! Don&#39;t settle for jobs that don&#39;t pay you well, mistreats you and doesn&#39;t care a hoot about your general success - especially if you aren&#39;t in your dream job! Be brave, take that leap and I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll get there someday! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3) Do the SPORTS/ ACTIVITES that INTERESTS you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;And don&#39;t do it for the sake of exercising but just to have fun, really. Run around, do lots of active things with people who matter and spend all your energy like there&#39;s no tomorrow while you still can. If not now, then when? You&#39;ll never know what awaits you tomorrow. I&#39;m not being negative, but shit happens ya know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;4) WARDROBE MAKEOVERS every now and then is a MUST!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Wanna wear skinny jeans? DO IT!&lt;br /&gt;Wanna wear that little black dress? DO IT!&lt;br /&gt;Introduce little fresh changes to your wardrobe every now and then, if you can afford to.&lt;br /&gt;You won&#39;t really be wearing that skinny jeans and short skirts when you&#39;re in your 80s, will you? Well, actually I WOULD!! LOL. But I&#39;m certainly gonna look rather different if I were to dress up when I&#39;m 80 (if I ever live that long, that is haha).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;5) Tick off at least 20-50 things in your bucket list.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;That&#39;s about 2-5 things to achieve per year, depending on how much free time you have and how much money you have (since some activities like skydiving etc requires money). The more you do, the merrier. These will be your memories for keeps when you&#39;re older. And you can have new things to look forward to in your bucket list when you&#39;re older. Life&#39;s exciting that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, now that I&#39;ve said so much... you might wonder how much of the above have I actually done?&lt;br /&gt;One and four are work-in-progress lol, bravely done two twice and attempted quite a bit of things for five (read here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://zazabong.blogspot.sg/2011/01/100-things-to-do-before-i-expire-part.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;100 things to do before I expire&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bummer might be no. three though. I don&#39;t really have the time to do sports or heavy activities but hey, at least I do ride on adult rollercoasters and other courage-badge-worthy rides every now &amp;amp; then.

So desu...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, it&#39;s a whitening lotion - meant to brighten one&#39;s skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for it to be &quot;Number 1&quot;, there must surely be something more to it, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What can Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion do for you?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;1) &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;Combats and prevents dark spots caused by UV exposure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffd966;&quot;&gt;Gives you a smooth &amp;amp; clear skin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;Has Hyaluronic Acid in it&lt;/span&gt; - whereby the lotion helps to &lt;u&gt;lock in moisture&lt;/u&gt; for the skin to reach its optimal radiance and translucence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;I super love those three words: &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;OPTIMAL RADIANCE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRANSLUCENCE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Because that&#39;s exactly what I&#39;ve been looking for.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All along I&#39;ve always had a pretty .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WpzgVsmdy0k/UIMgTVmS1QI/AAAAAAAABuA/Nqg9sG_mFZA/s1600/HLza3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WpzgVsmdy0k/UIMgTVmS1QI/AAAAAAAABuA/Nqg9sG_mFZA/s640/HLza3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I couldn&#39;t help it but to deco this pic with an Xmas theme! :X&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok sorry I got distracted.&lt;br /&gt;I am still kinda amused by the snowflakes packaging. This is October but I sorta feel like I&#39;ve received a Xmas present already.&amp;nbsp; :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anyways.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was saying... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All along I&#39;ve always had a pretty clear skin that doesn&#39;t have pimples and what nots - thanks to awesome family genes, its hereditary, thank you very much to my ancestors &amp;amp; great great ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT, believe me,&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;no matter how clear your skin looks, it makes a huge difference when it&#39;s well-moisturized and when it&#39;s not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;And I think my facial skin have been looking rather dry the past few months, so much so that I considered buying water-mists to spray onto my face daily BUT I didn&#39;t have the time to look around for a good brand to purchase one. So I left it at that &amp;amp; prayed for miracles to happen somehow. Like maybe, my facial skin will suddenly glow, be well moisturized and look as bright &lt;b&gt;&amp;amp; smooth as tau huay&lt;/b&gt; when I wake up one day. &lt;b&gt;Just LIKE THAT&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;*snaps finger*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt; Hahaha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, so what I&#39;m really saying is.. I think my face looks dry, dull and tired sometimes coz it lacks moisture &amp;amp; proper care! And I&#39;ve pondered over it for a while now. With this new product in my hands now, I really wanna try this arbutin whitening lotion (for a month) for real results and hope to be a convert just like the Japanese!&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;*fist punch in the air!*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aTnOLDVMkno/UIMSEzle3jI/AAAAAAAABqg/4g19BQNLEUs/s1600/HLza2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aTnOLDVMkno/UIMSEzle3jI/AAAAAAAABqg/4g19BQNLEUs/s640/HLza2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;322&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;So for a start, I&#39;ve tried this a few times last week (less than 5 times to be honest coz I have no time.. but I&#39;m trying ok!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to use it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a cleansed face, pour a few drops onto your palm and dab it onto your face til it is absorbed into the skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My Verdict:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;Texture &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seeing that its a lotion, I thought it would be white/blue-ish in colour and really look like a LOTION-lotion. But nooooo... its actually &lt;b&gt;water-based and colourless just like a serum&lt;/b&gt;. So it doesn&#39;t feel like you&#39;re putting on baby lotion, but something that&#39;s more feminine for women in our era.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Moisturizing Effect &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I like it because it gets absorbed into my skin in less than a couple of seconds and quite immediately, I felt my skin tighten a bit - and it moisturizes the skin too. Its the immediate effect that I like here.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sticky or not? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I major hate anything that feels sticky on the face but the good news is, the Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion does NOT feel sticky yo! Yayness.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whitening Effect&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;However, because I&#39;ve only used this a couple of times, I have not seen the whitening effect YET. No immediate effect here.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rating:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; 6.5/10&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(but I&#39;ll give this 8/10 IF I can see its whitening effect after some prolonged use)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FYI.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, this whitening lotion is part of the &lt;b&gt;Hada Labo&#39;s Arbution Whitening Range&lt;/b&gt;. They also have the Arbutin whitening essence, whitening milk and whitening mask too - all these for optimal results! See this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8mf5nISaMbw/UIMb_GWP0XI/AAAAAAAABsU/d4yRyYUVjyk/s1600/HL.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;364&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8mf5nISaMbw/UIMb_GWP0XI/AAAAAAAABsU/d4yRyYUVjyk/s640/HL.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t panic.

YES YOU!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m gonna get straight to the point and quickly share about two awesome shows which you should watch if you&#39;re in Singapore now. So you&#39;d better READ this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago, I was invited to watch the musical &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Avenue Q&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&quot; on its opening night at the Grand Theatre in Marina Bay Sands. Its fething funny I should say - for someone like me who ain&#39;t exactly into puppet musicals, Musicals yes, puppets no. But Avenue Q actually got me laughing hard a couple of times during the show because they were too funny &amp;amp; direct. For example, they were singing about how &quot;Internet is for porn&quot; and cracking some racism jokes - and a lot of other funny quirky scripts in between!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DfIpezieKdg/UGiHVlWKOEI/AAAAAAAABnQ/x5kcjAhWR30/s1600/AvenueQ.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;122&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DfIpezieKdg/UGiHVlWKOEI/AAAAAAAABnQ/x5kcjAhWR30/s200/AvenueQ.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;*Tickets available at SISTIC&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s the synopsis if you&#39;re interested:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;body1 description&quot;&gt;&quot;AVENUE Q is a laugh-out-loud musical  that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named PRINCETON  who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q.  There, he meets KATE (the girl next door), ROD (the Republican), TREKKIE  (the internet sexpert), LUCY THE SLUT (need we say more?), and other  colorful types who help PRINCETON finally discover his purpose in life!&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;_______________________________________________________________________________ &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, I&#39;m gonna introduce an even more &lt;b&gt;AWESOME&lt;/b&gt; play which I honestly think everyone should watch.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s got &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;GOOD SCRIPT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;color: magenta;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;FANTASTIC DIRECTION&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and a &lt;span style=&quot;color: orange;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;TALENTED CAST&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. No kidding. And I seldom praise local productions. So take this from me.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hua6gThhmKw/UGiE-t8IgvI/AAAAAAAABnA/WOzv0z2yj54/s1600/SWS.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;254&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hua6gThhmKw/UGiE-t8IgvI/AAAAAAAABnA/WOzv0z2yj54/s640/SWS.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So last week on 22 September, I attended the &lt;b&gt;Gala Night&lt;/b&gt; of&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Swimming With Sharks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; by Pangdemonium Productions. And I came out after the show feeling &lt;strike&gt;mindfucked &amp;amp; evil&lt;/strike&gt; totally upbeat - it&#39;s like &quot;WOWWWWW, I&#39;m proud to say that we really do have talented people in the threatre arena in Singapore!! &lt;b&gt;Pangdemonium rawks the socks off of its audience!&lt;/b&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;(I don&#39;t even know where my socks went. Ok fine, not funny punny.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, this is a story of a boss from hell (who never minces his words), an eager freshie who enters the workforce and gets bullied (and mindf*cked - which he eventually realizes) and a woman who holds it all in the game of power where the men are dominant &amp;amp; she has to hold her fort. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of Greed, Manipulation, Lust (or was it Love?), Deception, Mindf*ck &amp;amp; Play of Power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;It&#39;s &lt;b&gt;satirical&lt;/b&gt;... &lt;b&gt;dark&lt;/b&gt;.... &lt;b&gt;humour&lt;/b&gt;.... is something you won&#39;t get in other plays.&amp;nbsp; :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O7L2NQG1D1s/UGiGk6Agm9I/AAAAAAAABnI/9VGUGyYBFpg/s1600/sws4.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O7L2NQG1D1s/UGiGk6Agm9I/AAAAAAAABnI/9VGUGyYBFpg/s400/sws4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Adrian Pang &amp;amp; George Young (They aren&#39;t chummy like this during the actual play in Swimming With Sharks ok!)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the approx. 3 hours (with intermission in between), there was never a second where my mind was distracted (I&quot;m someone whose thoughts will fly elsewhere if I&#39;m watching anything that bores me). I was so focused on the story &amp;amp; script as each scene unfolded, keeping me on my toes as emotions got played, tickled by each of the one-liners that sunk deep into my bones, making me yearn for more up til the last second of the play - &lt;b&gt;fething fantastic&lt;/b&gt; I tell you!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, the storyline in &lt;b&gt;Swimming With Sharks&lt;/b&gt; is definitely something which people can relate to - just think of how office politics occur in almost every workforce. No? What about bosses from hell? I&#39;m sure some of you haveeeee!!! LOL. Yes, &lt;b&gt;FYL&lt;/b&gt;! I know righttttt.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;[FYL=F*ck Your Life]&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its main casts played by &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Adrian Pang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;(as Buddy Ackerman)&lt;b&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;George Young&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;(as Guy)&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;and&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Janice Koh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;(as Dawn Lockard) - thumbs up for them!! Truly brilliant. And credit should go to the awesome direction of &lt;b&gt;Tracie Pang&lt;/b&gt; as well, I&#39;d say. Well done, Pangdemonium!&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the rest of the casts of &lt;b&gt;Swimming Of Sharks&lt;/b&gt; played by &lt;b&gt;Crispian Chan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Shane Mardjuki&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;b&gt; Daniel Jenkins&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;b&gt; James Shubert &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;Melissa Faith Yeo&lt;/b&gt; added a fine touch to each scene with their individual roles. What more could I ask for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of our local celebrities were spotted at the reception after the play as well.&lt;br /&gt;Look here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XQuPeNOWEdQ/UGiI620q6VI/AAAAAAAABnY/DMKdEEJW1Y0/s400/SWS2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Bobby Tonelli &amp;amp; Allan Wu looking good as always!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dxFT0hUtBIA/UIP4NHkgCpI/AAAAAAAABvs/KCUDovljoO8/s1600/zazabongbobbytonelliallanwu.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;426&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dxFT0hUtBIA/UIP4NHkgCpI/AAAAAAAABvs/KCUDovljoO8/s640/zazabongbobbytonelliallanwu.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Also spotted a cute female &quot;celebrity&quot; called &quot;Zazabong&quot; with Bobby Tonelli &amp;amp; Allan Wu.&amp;nbsp; LOL.

(Yeah that&#39;s what happens as you get older and older as you deal with life, career, family, friends, finance and everything else...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say that my days have been full of fun recently though and I&#39;ve also been attending lots of parties &amp;amp; media launches, with the four most recent events being that of &lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #351c75;&quot;&gt;Hooked Magazine Launch &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #351c75;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;at Bar Cocoon, The Forbidden City,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #351c75;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Cosmopolitan First Anniversary Party&lt;/b&gt; at Pan Pacific Hotel (Mink), &lt;b style=&quot;color: orange;&quot;&gt;Esquire Launch Party&lt;/b&gt; at MAJ Aviation (General Aviation Centre) and&lt;b style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; Dockers launch media event&lt;/b&gt; at Bugis+ (where it unveiled the charming Max Loong as its first local ambassador in Singapore). That reminds me now - I NEED MORE CLOTHES!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Irregardless of how busy one may be, one should never forget to sneak in a camwhore pic or two like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY60kZw1HRY/UFShOKAKx5I/AAAAAAAABk4/5F983IT3ZyY/s1600/zaallrightsreserved.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY60kZw1HRY/UFShOKAKx5I/AAAAAAAABk4/5F983IT3ZyY/s640/zaallrightsreserved.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I may look quite :(&amp;nbsp; (that happens whenever I don&#39;t smile) HAHA...&lt;br /&gt;And yea, I just decided to put that &quot;Wake Me Up When September Ends..&quot; in just for fun! I love that song by Green Day btw.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes... I&#39;ve been very busy indeed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;ut in life, we must not be too busy til we forget the happiest moments of our life.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;And for me, I&#39;ve always loved to preserve happy memories through messages, cards, photographs. memorabilia, souveniors and such. Especially photographs.. it&#39;s a MUST for every special moment! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, I was super excited when the lovely people from&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.customizedpuzzle.sg/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Customized Jigsaw Puzzle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; wanted to sponsor me with something special! And this time round, I&#39;m not being sponsored with just a product per se, but something that is meaningful to me, something that is linked to me as a person, something that I could keep for life! Something to remember by as I get older and say &quot;Hey! That&#39;s what happiness meant to me back then!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, &lt;b&gt;LOOK AT THIS!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aet3y9EmLpI/UF78FHSvJQI/AAAAAAAABmA/OfnRuri2fpI/s1600/zazab2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aet3y9EmLpI/UF78FHSvJQI/AAAAAAAABmA/OfnRuri2fpI/s640/zazab2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;486&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;LIFE&#39;S HAPPIEST MOMENT&amp;nbsp; (&quot;v&quot;)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YEAHHHH IT&#39;S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOOKING REALLY HAPPYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Look closely and you&#39;ll realize it&#39;s actually &lt;span style=&quot;color: #351c75;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;a photograph made of jigsaw puzzles&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. And I like how it is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #351c75;&quot;&gt;well-framed up&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;to fit everything nicely. The frame looks quite thick and good too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a photo of myself (when I had short hair last year) btw.&lt;br /&gt;I must say that the frame is gorgeous!! I love it!! Thank you!&amp;nbsp; =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they asked me for a photo to get the jigsaw done, my head spinned as I thought about it for weeks, mind you! I have so many photos of myself and I really didn&#39;t know which to choose. Then I remembered that a friend of mine ever took this photo of me&lt;b&gt; in my most natural happy self&lt;/b&gt; when we were on the merry-go-round at USS last year. (And have I not told you that I&#39;m a big fan of merry-go-rounds?! It brings out the child in me, I guess. I don&#39;t know actually. Ok nvm.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO YES!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I DECIDED THAT THIS SHOULD BE&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt;&quot;THE&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; PHOTO!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now I&#39;ve got one of my happiest moments well preserved in a jigsaw puzzled photo frame. How awesome is this!! :D&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Curious to know how they do it? Watch this video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ATJy9ujQvsw?rel=0&quot; width=&quot;480&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I think this definitely makes for a wonderful gift for our friends and loved ones too.&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s rather special and unique - if you choose the right photos like me! Well, you have to capture the right photo first, of course. Heh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keen to get one for yourself and for your loved ones?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Check them out now at:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;http://www.customizedpuzzle.sg/&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Email:&amp;nbsp; enquiry@customizedpuzzle.sg&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uqgNvpcEDwY/UF78BfgszPI/AAAAAAAABl4/WJpv6HxrB-o/s1600/zazab1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uqgNvpcEDwY/UF78BfgszPI/AAAAAAAABl4/WJpv6HxrB-o/s640/zazab1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;P/S:&lt;/b&gt; They take in corporate orders too. You could do this for door gifts at company events/ dinner &amp;amp; dance etc. I&#39;m sure a lot of people will love it if you have the right content fit perfectly into the frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;PPS:&lt;/b&gt; They do customize photos onto mugs and badges too. SO COOL!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m actually tempted to order another one for someone else. By order, I mean I will pay lah! I&#39;m not so buay paiseh to ride on the sponsorship ok, although I&#39;d be pleased to receive another sponsorship LOL. Ok but seriously, I&#39;m quite pleased with their service too because they actually had the item personally delivered to me right to the doorstep.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m just fabulous this way. #JustSaying&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loves,&lt;br /&gt;With lots of sweets &amp;amp; chocolates.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;And I told you so.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zazabong.blogspot.com/feeds/2732900048026590048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4617171699888990070&amp;postID=2732900048026590048&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4617171699888990070/posts/default/2732900048026590048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4617171699888990070/posts/default/2732900048026590048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zazabong.blogspot.com/2012/09/advertorial-lifes-happiest-moment-with.html' title='Advertorial: Life&#39;s Happiest Moment with Customized Jigsaw Puzzles'/><author><name>Zazabong</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10960851695768134933</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY60kZw1HRY/UFShOKAKx5I/AAAAAAAABk4/5F983IT3ZyY/s72-c/zaallrightsreserved.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4617171699888990070.post-1673456745965306598</id><published>2012-08-12T03:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-08-12T04:07:59.718+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Movie Review: Brave (and the act-cute bitch in Vivocity GV Cinema)</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;(If you aren&#39;t too interested in knowing more about the movie &quot;Brave&quot;, then you should scroll down to Part 2 - I&#39;m sure you&#39;d wanna read that!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part I &lt;/b&gt;: &lt;b&gt;BRAVE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this ain&#39;t exactly a movie review but heyhey, I watched the movie &quot;&lt;b&gt;Brave&lt;/b&gt;&quot; on Friday! I rarely have the time to relax at my own pace these days but I managed to do so on Friday. Had my meal and my favourite Sticky Chewy Chocolate ice cream at &lt;b&gt;Earl Swensens&lt;/b&gt;, followed by a walk in &lt;b&gt;Vivocity&lt;/b&gt; and finally a movie to rest my mind!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my friend asked me &quot;what do you wanna watch?&quot;, I quickly said &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;anything that doesn&#39;t require me to think! I just wanna watch something without thinking&lt;/span&gt;&quot; and so he suggested &quot;Brave&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IYzSJPcWOGM/UCavHs9sXeI/AAAAAAAABi4/0hWPKtKK2Q0/s1600/Brave1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IYzSJPcWOGM/UCavHs9sXeI/AAAAAAAABi4/0hWPKtKK2Q0/s640/Brave1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;426&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;*Image taken from Google&amp;nbsp; (Please ignore the &quot;Coming Soon&quot;, the movie is already out in Singapore cinemas.)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;rave is about this girl called &lt;b&gt;Merida&lt;/b&gt;, who is the headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Not forgetting that she has 3 cute baby brothers (triplets) whom I&#39;d love to pinch. Although the movie is supposingly about &quot;changing her destiny&quot; and having to go against the age-old custom, I personally think that the story tells more &lt;u&gt;about the unspoken close bond of a mother and daughter&lt;/u&gt;. There are plenty of touching scenes on both Merida and Queen Elinor, so yeah.. I think that was really nice. I almost teared at two scenes but nah, I held it in!&amp;nbsp; :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, Brave is by Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar Animation Studios and it is available in &lt;b&gt;2D&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;3D&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Ratings:&lt;/span&gt; 3.5 out of 5&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Not bad for an animation. I think I tend to look out for the storyline more than anything else. Oh yes, Brave has a tinge of humour too. It&#39;s quite funny, especially the scene where Merida&#39;s father (King Fergus) tries to imitate Merida while talking to his wife Queen Elinor - I giggled hard haha!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you should watch Brave if you&#39;re looking for the kind of movie that doesn&#39;t require you to think while watching! Its very enjoyable.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: yellow; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Part II &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a dedication to the girl who half-watched &quot;Brave&quot; in &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;ROW 2, Seat No. 13 in GV cinema at Vivocity&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(while her boyfriend was on seat no. 14). No prizes for guessing my seat no, lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do I say she &lt;b&gt;HALF-WATCHED&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s because she spent the other half of her time &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;cringing at her boyfriend, covering her eyes with either her hands or her boyfriend&#39;s hands, shrieking in &quot;fear&quot; and acting all jelly. &lt;/span&gt;Woman, REALLY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve never seen anyone in my life who could ever be so afraid of animations. In fact, I don&#39;t buy that AT ALL. You were purely acting, I suppose? You thought that was cute? Omg....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;*points my wand at you and makes you disappear!*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; ===&amp;gt; Haha this is cute, you are not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like seriously?!! She kept saying &quot;&lt;i&gt;I don&#39;t want to see! I&#39;m scared!&lt;/i&gt;&quot; and she fidgeted in her seat while cringing at her boyfriend as though some wicked witch was haunting her - when all Merida did was to walk into the woods and follow the wisps in the hope of finding something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6CKcqIahedc&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just watch the trailer. &lt;br /&gt;How could anything as animated as the above be so scary?? Its nowhere even close to scary!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The music wasn&#39;t even terrifying. Crazy woman... You thought behaving like that in the cinema is cute? Sorry bitch, its gross max. I really wonder what your boyfriend was thinking when you did that to him half the time in the cinema. &quot;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Bitch please, just STFU and let me watch the show can?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&quot;. Yeah, he prolly thought that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;No wait.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I was a guy and had been her boyfriend,&lt;b&gt; I would have shoved her head under the seat with my left hand and munch on popcorn with my right hand until the movie ends&lt;/b&gt;. Seriously, the poor dude had to keep pacifying her throughout the movie. Tsk tsk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4PFjR7YKYLM/UCa6j5hoeNI/AAAAAAAABj4/rbt8LC_LIR4/s1600/brave2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4PFjR7YKYLM/UCa6j5hoeNI/AAAAAAAABj4/rbt8LC_LIR4/s400/brave2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;*Image taken from Google&amp;nbsp; (Merida&#39;s adorable triplet brothers)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If she was watching a supernatural or a horror movie, I&#39;ll probably understand. But an animation that was so funny and touching?? And its not even some ghostly or horrific animation. Merida was so cute and the wisps were so frail-looking and small... even the woods weren&#39;t dark enough in the animation. What&#39;s there to be scared of?!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;So, act-cute bitch, if you&#39;re reading this...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please learn to&lt;b style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;STFU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;in the cinema because your boyfriend is &lt;b&gt;NOT&lt;/b&gt; the only person who could hear you.&lt;br /&gt;You&#39;re scared of funny animations? Sure. Don&#39;t watch anything in the cinema then. Go home and play with your barbie dolls and continue to talk in an animated voice to the wall. Even the wall would crack at your voice and barbie dolls would pee in laughter because of your cranky behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Irritating.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way,&lt;b style=&quot;background-color: #e06666;&quot;&gt; Happy National Day Singapore!

The only umbrellas left in the office were the big long ones - which I&#39;ll never carry around when I&#39;m well dressed UNLESS I need to save a live like Batman &lt;strike&gt;or whack someone like Catwoman does&lt;/strike&gt;.

You go girl!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The &quot;Catwoman&quot; in the The Dark Knight Rises really &lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;whacked the balls out of her enemies&lt;/span&gt; in the movie. Also, Anne Hathaway looked awesomely hot as the &quot;Catwoman&quot; and ya know how it works when the girl&#39;s pretty and the men let down their guard? There&#39;s this funny scene where she cries hard like she&#39;s the victim in front  of the police and then makes her escape. My friend and I couldn&#39;t stop giggling at that scene!&amp;nbsp; :D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #0b5394; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Back to my rain story&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #0b5394; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So, since the rain wouldn&#39;t stop, my always super nice colleague lent his mini umbrella to me when he saw me still lurking in the office like a mouse at 720pm+ (&lt;i&gt;and I was supposed to collect my tix by 8pm!&lt;/i&gt;). &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Thank you TamTamz&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;for saving the damsel in distress LOL.

OMG.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Personally, that&#39;s too long for me. I really liked the movie, the visuals, the content and everything, but it&#39;s just that, I dislike sitting for too long without moving about lol.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The story line was pretty good but perhaps they could have omitted some scenes out to make the movie slightly shorter. It was a little draggy in the middle, leaving the audience hanging until the very last part of the show - &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;well that&#39;s where it got really &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;exciting&lt;/span&gt; though and I liked that!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Visuals were awesome&lt;/span&gt; too and I liked the fact that they incorporated&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&quot;Catwoman&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; into the movie - she was such a kickass. The main villain, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Bane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (played by Tom Hardy) was kinda cool too - he&#39;s like really evil and all - and there&#39;s a slight twist to the plot in the end (won&#39;t say it here and spoil it for you). My friend J says that he likes the way Bane talks - sadistic - and I&#39;m like huhhh whattt?!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Ya, weird friends I have sometimes.&amp;nbsp; *facepalm*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cajwj7pQeeo/UB6PjTLOinI/AAAAAAAABg4/4F-A_-yxjkc/s1600/batman7.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cajwj7pQeeo/UB6PjTLOinI/AAAAAAAABg4/4F-A_-yxjkc/s640/batman7.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;*Image taken from Google&amp;nbsp; (Bane on the left)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bane:&lt;/b&gt; Hey buddy, how about being friends?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Batman: &lt;/b&gt;No, you&#39;re evil.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bane: &lt;/b&gt;But opposites attract.

I guess he&#39;s never gonna be smiling like that for a few more weeks huh. Poor dude. My condolences to your broken heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;But honestly?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Kristen Stewart has a weird taste.&lt;br /&gt;Ok I know this sounds rather mean but.. erm... I really don&#39;t think if both of them are particularly THAT dashing?? But perhaps, Robert is a little cute. Just a little. But still, not quite my cuppa tea.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On closer look, I think both Robert and Rupert bears a little resemblance. Both are pale-looking and have this &quot;yeah I know right&quot; smug face. Don&#39;t you think so?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look, even their names start with an &#39;R&#39;. Maybe that&#39;s why Kristen likes both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw sorry, sidetrack, but I noted that &lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Robert has a slightly hairy chest in that picture above.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past, I would have thought of it as something disgusting but now, I beg to differ. Not because its Robert Pattinson.
