OTO e-Shape

Posted on the March 30th, 2012 under Events,Fashion,Health by

Went by to OTO’s e-Shape’s launch and had the chance to try out the product.

Super bling isnt it? :D
But more than just a nice item,

The new e-Shape is equipped with a unique technology that is based on both acupuncture points and sports science. Users can look forward to detoxification and a healthier digestive system as the e-Shape uses high and varying oscillating speeds to stimulate certain acupressure points on the body.

Designed for a younger and trendier generation, the OTO e-Shape is a sleek and stylish slimming belt that can be attached to different parts of the body – arms, shoulder, abdomen, back, waist, hips, thighs, calves – to be massaged. Contrary to the perceived notion that all slimming belts are large and unwieldy contraptions, the e-Shape comes in a compact design to allow users to carry it around in their bags and even use it while driving or in the comfort of their homes.

The bloggers had the chance to try to bling up our version of the e-Shape, oh mine is so far fetch!

JB Premium Outlets

Posted on the February 3rd, 2012 under Fashion,Travel by

Went by to JB for a short trip recently. A stone throw away to the Premium Outlets at JB

Johor Premium Outlets
Jalan Premium Outlets
Indahpura 81000 Kulaijaya
Johor Darul Takzim
Malaysia

 

Think its really nothing to scream about.

No sweat, it looks like that. Big space, brown bricks, little shops outlet.

I’m not a shopping or branded goods fanatics, but the friends that went with me knows their stuff.
So heres the feedback I’ve gathered.

Myself:
1) The pricing is really just like the Singapore Sales Season.
2) ‘cept that you dont have to squeeze with people, more spacious.
3) Dont really have to queue for dressing rooms
4) Dont really have to “fight” for sizes
5) You’ll still get the Malaysian style of service, where “conversation with my colleague is far more important to meeting your needs/serving you

Friends:
1) Most guys can shop for the sports products
2) Adidas brings in current products
3) Nike does it like it’s factory outlet, not so much of its current products more of the mass product kind.

I dont shop for clothes much when I’m overseas, generally I would go hunting for shoes. :D

Went in to Charles and Keith and Pedro. So they have these shelves of fixed promotion prices and other different priced items.
Cheapest I saw in both shops are going for Ringgit at $49.90

I got my steal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Pedro’s 4inch at Ringgit$49.90 each, thats like SGD$20

:D

Thats just plain lucky, cos its hard to find styles I like and shoes my size. Size 10/11.

So after the shopping, my beloved Iris and I went for food.

They have a huge food court there. Too crowded for our liking.
Nice Chinese, Thai and Japanese restaurant.
Cant really decide, but in the end we went to this Western food restaurant. George and Dragon Cafe.

We saw the setting, so thought the food should be quite okay..

But it wasnt, its… we might as well eat at the food court.


Ringgit$22+ for 8 pieces of Calamari…


Their Sherwood chicken, not worth the money and its like the same slab of chicken with different sauces for the different dishes.

If you are just there for tea and to rest the legs, then its okay

Nice big pot for about Ringgit$8?

But you can always go to Baskin Robbins for ice-cream if a nice break is called for.

That Premium outlet visit, the shoes were the perk, the restaurant. nah.

Probably will go back again to get shoes :D

This was available at the entrance

the website also provide some information on how to get there. :)

Thanks for coming by

Gelish Manicure

Posted on the January 9th, 2012 under Fashion by

I did Gelish manicure recently!

I like it.
I dont know what is Gelish about, google for it and I get is advertorials or blog entries from people that seems really happy of their manicure. This is the closest I can get to perhaps a more neutral explanation.

Gelish is a soak off gel nail product that applies similar to regular nail polish, but lasts for up to three weeks with no chipping or fading.

Gelish is a UV nail gel that is applied in several steps, requiring either a 36 watt UV or LED lamp to cure the gel. Gelish nail gel is similar to other UV soak off nail gel systems, such as Shellac or OPI Axxium. Nail gels can be applied to your natural nails, without causing the damage of acrylics. Nail growth with nail gels is covered with a fill-in coat, similar to acrylic nails. The product is brushed on like regular nail polish.

So I did mine too, as it is shown above, I did french style, cos my dearest Kim is fully booked in these upcoming week, so I’ll better do something that is lasting into Chinese New Year , and even if it starts to strip, it isnt too obvious or unglam, so I thought of French.

Information online says it’ll last 3 weeks without chipping or fading.
I guess thats the coatings for Gelish nail polish itself.

Vietnam Brides

Posted on the September 23rd, 2011 under Fashion,Inspiration,Interesting Blogposts by

What’s your reaction when you hear “Vietnam Brides”?

Love It? Hate It?
Well, for me, I guess all in love is fair, meaning, ya, in as much as Singaporean men are picking up foreign brides hence less Singaporean men for me to choose, I believe love doesn’t come and land on your lap. To certain extend you need to work for it.
And if what the men want is a simple wife to sit at home and be the perfect housewife, then, thanks for helping me to do the eliminating. ;)

Beauty

Posted on the March 7th, 2011 under Article,Events,Fashion by

Was having dinner with some of the friends from Shutter Journey when the topic of being 3 8 came up. How do you explain 38 to a vietnamese? :D That got us laughing the whole night. Cos we shared some of the bad habits and real girl topics amongst ourself.

When nipples becomes a Radio Dial.
When Menstral pad becomes tools for casting spells.
When we concluded theres more than meets the eye in beauty…

Its kind of like a chinese saying that women tends to flock together to gossip, to talk about people’s laundry, to exchange tips and good bargains and all that jazz. :D

but the truth is, theres more to it then being on the bad side of 3 8 as a description for being a woman.

A video that my tutor shared during my Social Psychology Tutorial.

Very outrageous… Pretty mind-blowing to me…
Sexism, the use of Sex as a selling point.
