Diary : Day Out at Pulau Ubin

So… on Saturday we had a free day! and after saying nonstop how much I wanna go to Pulau Ubin, we finally made it possible! woohooo!!

IMG 5404


























On the boat to ubin~ For all of you who don’t know. I have motion sickness and it makes traveling really difficult for me. yea. but the very nice xm took this!

IMG 5405


























If i’m not wrong the shore is changi beach.
we just left changi jetty so there’s no way it’s anywhere near ecp or pasir ris. HAHA

IMG 5406


































The very sick me trying hard to not throw up and smile at the same time. LOL!
This Sour Power is really a life saver when I have to take transports that makes me sick. HAHAHA
or maybe it’s just an excuse for me to eat it. HAHA

IMG 5408


























And we’re here! wooohoo!! great place to get away from our city life.
sorry for his smile. HAHAHA but this is the nicest i found.

I randomly said “ we can stay here when we grow old” then xm replied “ yea right~ you won’t want it"
WHAT??!!! but then again. yea i won’t be able to stay in a kampong. just for this day trip. I brought 3L of drinking water, sunblock to apply, wet wipes, tissue, sanitiser, cap, sunglasses, mosquito patch and what not. How can a person like me be able to live there. Who am i trying to kid. LOL!

IMG 5413


























we were on the split street and have no idea how to head to chek jawa. while xm i looking for directions, it’s time for me and a selfie.
HAHAHAHHAA

I was looking at my own selfies. and 2 tourist came over and said “ we should have done the same! take a photo of the map.” LOL! as much as i wanted to keep quiet and pretended that i took the map. Me being me had to let them know i didn’t take a photo of the map on the signboard. LOL! Now i’m wondering what they thought it was. HAHA

IMG 5416


























There sure is lots of split roads! one of the many that we met that day!
Split roads are just like the choices we have to make in life~. Wah feeling so inspired. LOL!

IMG 5417


























See split road again. LOL!

IMG 5462


























And we’re there! CHEK JAWA!!

we went to the viewing jetty first. because there was a visitor center and we wanted to see what’s interesting.

and we came across this house. it’s like a.. hmmmm.. like museum. but not too sure what isit

IMG 5422


























Someone decided to do some posing.LOL!

IMG 5455


























Mid way up the  observatory tower. i knew i will forget to take the view up there cos i’ll be too tired. so here’s one before I totally forgot about it. HAHAHAHA

And my camera stayed in my bag the rest of the day. HAHAHAHAHAH

This trip was a great and enjoyable one. although we came back smelly and all. But its worth it!
It’s gonna be while till we return again. gonna miss this place quite abit. but life it’s gonna be busy now! so!!! till next time! SEE YOU UBIN!

Dairy : Doggies go ECP | Dinner Selfies | Family Photoshoot.

Some time back, when we had our super long weekends, we brought the dogs to our gathering at east coast park.
Ever since the tick infestation earlier in March, Ozzy and Domo rarely leaves the house. Not even for walks.Even though we had more than enough space for them to run around at home, we felt that it wasn’t enough. Now that we’ve done with that, and we know what to do with it if it comes again, we thought we shall bring them on a half day adventure at ECP!~ (which they have never been to)

20150807 092946




















Look at that smile on his face. Although it seem normal to everyone. But this have been the happiest smile we’ve seen since march.
PS. It’s really a tormenting 4mths.
Cony crying






Because it was a private gathering, and I’m not sure if the people there would like to be on my blog, i didn’t take any photos.
And also. I wanted them to enjoy themselves. so I partially forgot to do it too. HAHAHA

We headed home and bathe them and.. Both of them knocked out! totally knocked out!

xm came over after that. And they didn’t seem to notice it at all.
I’ve never seen them soo tired ever.
went out for dinner and came home ready to head to bed. and this is what i see.
20150730 225633



















See domo is still knocked out. LOL!
Glad they enjoyed their day~




And just over the weekend, xm had enough of prepping for his exams he wanted to have a nice dinner. Having a free complementary 8-course meal at Sufood, we decided to head over.

I took out my phone to check if there’s anything on my face. and this is what happened.
20150814 211733
20150814 211746




































there’s actually more but let me not make you all sick with it. HAHAHAH

I don’t know if my skin is improving due to the luxury of time to take care of my face or because of the products I’m using. But nonetheless. I think my skin is of pretty good condition now!

PS. I don’t have any makeup on. Not even lipstick!

Then i realised my phone had this function where you can take both with the front and back camera!! LOL!. so we ( more of just me) were playing with it. LOL!
20150814 212114







































Poor thing. he was smiling at the camera. little did he knew, it doesn’t matter. HAHAHAHAH

20150814 212014



































Alright i have to admit too, it’s really very cheesy. LOL!
alittle grossed by it too actually HAHAHAHAH
yea that’s pretty much. we had dinner and then headed home and xm continued prepping for his exam.

Then next day my family booked an appointment to get our family portrait taken since my younger sister has graduated from Uni this year.
20150815 093505



































Pardon that face. woke up really early and due to the lack of sleep.

At this point of time, i haven’t talked to anyone since the start of the day hence that face. HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Look really… HAHAHAH
20150815 110334


































At the studio when everyone is still getting dressed and i’m all ready.
Everyone seem to be having a hard time with their gown and makeup.I’m just standing around so. I thought let’s take a selfie. HAHAHAHA

Wearing the gown again, I didn’t have much feelings.Same as the first time. I never felt that i accomplished something or had any special feelings about it. I’m in the. ok. I’m in my gown. ok.. we’re having a photoshoot next mood. LOL!

after the shoot where they’re still processing our receipt, we decided to take a random family shot in the middle of the studio. Not everyday you have everyone dressed up so smartly ok!
So I present to you… MY FAMILY!!!
20150815 110427



















I saw this photo in my phone. I think it was taken over the weekends.
My sister was carrying domo and he did this. LOL!
20150815 124118


































domo domo how heavy can your head be. LOL!

recently he have been doing this when we carry him up like this. really cute.

If you’re wondering why domo looks different. We shaved them down due to the infestation. so we can easily check for ticks on their body. We’re now growing them out now. hang in there! few more months before you both are good looking again!


alright. I think i’ll end here for today!!

Food Diary : Elemen Vegetarian Restaurant

So… Over the weekend, I filmed a video and started editing it. The more I edited the more I felt that it’s not YouTube worthy. So I decided to just trash that video.I’ve been doing that for the past 2 videos.

No inspiration. Not satisfied with the videos.So. delete delete delete!

ok putting depressing thing aside, let’s talk about food today!

Because of all the sharing and reposting on Facebook, xm and I discovered the newly opened Elemen Vegetarian Restaurant @Millenia Walk and decided to try it on a weekdays since we’re scared they may be full on a weekend.

This restaurant is similar to Sufood where they serves 8course meal. Really liking Sufood, we decided to give it a go. And here’s our food~

PS. There’ll be a lot of comparison with Sufood, since their only competitor I know is Sufood. Pardon that.

20150729 192004



















The starter is really good. they recommend to eat from right to left.
The one on the right taste like some Japanese style treat. The sauce taste like soya sauce something.And the thing that’s wrapped in the cucumber, is yellow bean paste. My fave filling for ang ku kueh.

The one in the middle is sesame overload! Black sesame tofu with sesame sauce and alfalfa sprouts. It’s alright, maybe i’m just not a sesame lover~

The one on the left is plum infused cherry tomato. My best description. HAHAHA it’s better than a regular tomato. I never really like tomatoes, but it’s really good.

20150729 192015


































Then we had breadsticks. Similar to the one at Sufood it’s also Rosemary Breadstick. Not too sure we got the bad lot or what. The Breadsticks tasted little stale. Both xm and I felt it. Quite disappointing. But we guess it’s just us with the bad lot.

The next dish is actually the cider drink. its a apple cider vinegar i think. it taste sweeter than the one in Sufood. Like this better because the one in Sufood has a very strong vinegar-y taste which I’m not too much of a fan of.

20150729 192827


































I think this is the Avocado Salad. The sauce is Plum if I didn’t remember wrongly.

Taste really refreshing and I like it! but xm doesn’t seem to be a fan of it. I’m thinking cos he’s just too Chinese and he don't fancy sour food as a meal. so.. yea.


20150729 192841


































This is their Mushroom Salad. It’s quite a disappointment. It tasted quite bland and nah.. it doesn’t interest the both of us. maybe we’re just not people who like bland food. This tasted like mushroom in diluted soya sauce actually. But i guess we’re just not that good with taste. LOL!


20150729 194215


































Mushroom Soup with truffle oil above and Maca Soup at the bottom. Not too sure what’s Maca Soup but it’s recommended by the person taking our order. HAHA so we just got it~

Mushroom soup is good. the maca soup is good as well. little bland but it’s still a plus since I didn’t got sick of it~ so it’s a good thing! LOL


20150729 200315



















We had 2 mains, first being Mushroom Truffle Pizza or something. It’s really good! I love it. But xm doesn’t like the veg on the top of the pizza. I think xm just doesn’t like raw veg that much. But he likes the pizza. HAHA

20150729 200325


































Next is Avocado Sushi.
xm and i felt it’s the sushi my mother makes at home topped with avocado and drizzled with some special soya sauce.

I’m not saying it’s not worth it. My mum makes really good sushi. So it feels like home made food

After this dish, I started wondering what is the approach towards their dishes are.
I’m thinking it’s healthy homemade feeling food.
Their food isn’t the best tasting ones out there. But it sure is healthy and has the feeling that it’s made like how my mother cooks.
PS. my mother cooks really well. Yes I have to mention it again. Because I strongly feel mum’s cooking is the best!

And also when i was there, i felt that the restaurant is very cosy and homely.very comfortable

20150729 203449



















Lastly it was dessert and refreshing drinks.
Above is lava cake with vanilla ice cream. OMG!!! it’s really good!! xm and i were fighting for it! LOL! serving was huge as well and not stingy!

The drink is lychee something. Yea we’re both fighting for it too. It’s really good!!!

20150729 203527



















The other dessert and drink is Grapefruit tea and Raspberry Panna Cotta.
we were warned that the drink will taste bitter since they use pure grapefruit. I was thinking at the back of my head, “How bad can it be~” but after drinking for a while, it’s really bitter. HAHAHA which explains why xm and I were fighting over the lychee tea. HAHA But doesn’t mean it’s not good. It is. But too bitter for our liking. HAHA

The panna cotta is good too. that sour hint from the berry sauce makes the milky panna cotta really refreshing. And doesn’t make me sick after eating so much of milky stuff.

PS.I’m not a fan of milky stuff.

At the payment counter they gave us takeaway mocha as door gift. I didn’t have mine since my sister ate it up. HAHAHAHA

it’s little expensive. Think it’s $37?? around that price. but i guess a once in a while thing i good~
Will i support them again, yes i will! I think because it’s a really new restaurant they’re still trying to figure out what’s the best! of course I have to support them even more. And also i was really touched by their service. Really attentive and approachable.Yea like i mentioned before it feels cosy and homely there. So I will patronise them again. Definitely~

If you’re hesitating, give it a go. And see if it’s of your liking.

To finish the post, here’s my view for the night
20150729 191731













XM! he says smiling like this is too main stream. But nonetheless he still did it after taking that not so main stream shot that i won’t post to spoil his image.

PS. No filter is done to his picture. OMG! this store is just too appropriate for photos. Nothing needs to be filtered! HAHAHA














Alright, that’s all for today~
I’ll speak to you in the next post!

Review : Philips [Satinelle Epilator]

Hi Everyone!

If you’re wonder what’s going on. i’m changing the template of my blog. still trying to see how things go along~ and waiting for xm’s exam to end so i can bug him to do a new banner for me!
not too long before his exam ends. so. let’s just bear with it~

For the past month due to the rainy and cold weather, i have been living in jeans and long pants. Since there isn’t much show for my legs, I’ve been neglecting it totally. And i noticed something last night.

IMG 5367


























My attempt on a sexy leg post. HAHAHA did you notice something??
let’s just zoom in. OMG. it’s gonna be so embarrassing

IMG 5370


























IMG 5371



Cony shocked





































OMGGGG!!! MY LEG’S HAIR IS ON FULL FORCE!!!

Sadly yes. This is how my legs look like when i don’t pay much attention to it at all. so dry, so hairy, so not attended to.

kindly ignore those scars on the legs. I’m not the most feminine girl since young, neither am the most careful person. All these dark spot scars are being accumulated for over 20years. every scar have it’s story. so let’s just let them chill there and ignore them~

Being super hairy since young, i’ve tried many ways to remove those excess hair. Shaving, waxing, hair cream removal, bleaching plucking and many more. I’ve tried them all. the only one that I haven’t tried is IPL, mainly cos i can’t bear to part with the money. So if any company is nice enough to sponsor me for IPL or permanent hair removal~ Thankyou in advance!!~
Cony touched






Ok! before i go off tangent again, my favourite way to remove hair on my arms, under arm and legs is actually using this product.

Philips epilator cover


























Another attempt to make it look better. HAHAHA!
I have been using this epilator for years. Since 2010 till today. I’ve recommended this to friends and family around me. It’s a must!

If i were to go on a long trip and only bring 1 electronic item, it will be this. Not Clarisonic, not hair tools, but THIS!

Now we’re on the same page. now you know how much I love this product!

removing hair haven’t been easier after this product came around~

IMG 5373


























Goodbye Hair! See you in few weeks time!
Cony mocking



Yes stickers overload is necessary HAHA

So this process is actually really simple, just keep your epilator perpendicular to where you want to epilate and go against the direction of hair growth, just like below shown.

IMG 5374




















 Sometimes i won’t bother which direction the hair growth is, because we all know. In every situation there will be that rebellious ones. So I’ll usually go in circle motion all around the legs until all the hair are gone.


You will make a bit of a mess. But it’s not as messy as waxing and it’s really easy to clean up. So don’t worry~

IMG 5383


































TADAAA~~ HAIRLESS LEGS AFTER LESS THAN A MIN!

Now attempt 2 on taking a sexy leg shot.

IMG 5384


























This shot is taken right after i epilated my legs. Usually after epilating I’ll let my leg cool down for abit since I get rashes and red spots almost immediately. Then I’ll head on to the bathroom to scrub those dead and dried skin off with a gentle scrub and head on with applying a thick moisturiser, usually a body butter, and my legs will stay really smooth~

I think there isn’t much to continue saying about this product so let’s just move on to summarising it!

Pros
1) Inexpensive
2) Removes hair really fast
3) Easy to clean up
4) Almost allergy free!(unless there is some what of allergy i don’t know of)
5) Small and handy (hardly takes up any space in your suitcase)
6) Remove all hair, even those fine ones

Cons
1) Hair still grows out
2) Will experience a little pain


Will I recommend this?
Do i still need to say more? Of course I will! i have a wax pot at home which is use it to remove all my hair before i found out about epilator, but ever since i got this epilator, the wax pot is only to remove that female moustache on me~
My sisters got epilators for themselves after how i crazily rave it to them. they didn’t get the same model, and i went to try them out.
To be honest, I very much prefer this model, although every epilator does the same job, but this, not too sure why, it’s less painful.

This product retails for SGD$49.00 at Courts, Harvey Norman, Fair price Extra and many more.

PS. Because i got this 5years ago, they changed the packaging to a pink one.

Vegan Japanese Dinner

Hi Everyone!

I really need to learn to be a little more normal. HAHAHA

then our food arrived altogether. like within mins.
IMG 4663


























OOHHH!!! i didn’t take a photo of the soba noodles we had): never mind shall take it again the next time we head down for dinner~
Yea these 3 dishes are actually our fave. natto maki, avocado maki , and cheesy shitake i think.
well actually i think these 3 are my fave. LOL! xm don’t really enjoy having the natto maki it’s because i really like it that’s why he’s having it too. LOL!

I really really love the food in these restaurant. before we even discovered this place, any kinds of veg store that serves sushi we think it’s very good. but this restaurant really set our standards up! LOL! yea. now we know how to compare veg sushi.(not a good thing)

Tomorrow is a public holiday. Let’s me start planning what i can do tomorrow. wooohooo~
