What Men What?

2012-01-28T00:44:00.000+08:00

A new reality series is coming up starting on the 28 January 2012 (which basically is today,lols), 10pm on ntv7.

'What Men Want' aims to provide you (mostly girls) a fresh new experience on what do men these days really want?

SEX

MONEY

LOVE

SUCCESS

???WOMEN???

Personally, sometimes, I don't get you guys at all. These mystical creatures are made so differently from us women. You guys can be very confusing and I believe we girls always stereotype them, thinking all guys are the same.

There is no one answer, all guys are different. Some are great, some are jerks. What Men Want is here to just prove you that!

They did their research and audition, interviewing a ton of guy just to pick the final 6 participant that represents different type of guy which made the perfect combination to know what men, in general, really wants. This is not a contest and there are no winners, it is pure for us to understand what men wants.

Watch these 6 hunkies' life (well, not all of them are jocks :P) as the camera follows them everywhere! Have a sneak peak into their private life o.O

Fendi

He is hot in real life. Look beyond the glasses ladies.

Gerrit

I'm sure he is familiar to some of you.

Narmi

He looks like a sensitive to women needs guy

Kit

The sweet mummy's boy because a happy man is one who loves his mom.

Ken

The one that says 'I don't know where is the limit for a man to love his girlfriend.'

Boy, let me tell you, there is no limit! Keep showering us with love!

I think he is my favourite :D Wolfie!!

Macam Wolverine but fun size!

This show is hosted by the alluring Deanna Yusoff

Catch them every Saturday (starting on 28/1/12)

Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night with yuberactive

2012-01-22T19:41:00.001+08:00

Again, I have always love the packaging of rimmel's mascara. Very attractive and the structure of this mascara is very unique.

To clarify things, it DOESN'T have 2 heads. Their are both using the same brush. What made the difference in the brush is the tube of the wand that links to the brush.

The volume applicator have thicker wand while the lengthening applicator have a thinner wand. The thinner wand is placed into the hollow tube of the volume wand so that when the brush is pulled out, it will remove the excess mascara by gliding the brush through the ring of the tube making the brush less dense to help promotes lengthening of eyelashes.

While taking out the volume wand, it doesn't do anything because the brush is naturally made to pick up tons of mascara.

I was impressed with the lengthening because it really lengthen my lashes. Less mascara on the brush gives a the mascara a dry formula feel as it dries fast. It doesn't clumps at all, separate my lashes well. Results in a very natural longer lashes.

less mascara on the brush

Thinner wand

The volume gave me a hard time. It needs lots of work and precision. Because the brush picked up lots of mascara to volumize the lashes, the formula turns out to be very wet which I hate because even after curling my lashes, it will make my lashes droopy. Worst part is that maybe it is due to the rather big brush, some mascara smeared to my lids close to my lashes. So I have to clean up after applying. It clumps the lashes a little to achieve the thicker lashes look.

Droopy and smeared in my lids.

Thick wand with loads of mascara on the brush

However, after it is completely dry, Like really really dry.(took quite a while to dry) I curl my lashes and it gave me the dolly eye effect that is not soooo thick but just nice. I kinda like how it looks.

I personally dont suggest mixing the both, unless it is for transforming day to night look then is fine. Most important is to make sure that the mascara is completely dry on your lashes.

Dolly lashes that flies high took some effort.

Me Detox Talk + Alternative snacks

2012-01-22T17:53:00.002+08:00

Yo Yo Yo People in the hauze!

Dis iz yo girl JQ

*hand starts flinging up and down*

Stop, I suck xD

I'm here to talk about my Detox Programme that I undergo for 3 days from the 28-30 December 2011. I have some request from a few of you to talk about it after taking up that challenge. You can check my announcement post on that here.

I have to clear the confusion first, remember, IT IS A DETOX Programme, NOT a DIET Programme! The whole point of going through this is NOT to lose weight, it is to give your body/digestive system some rest from all the Yummy Char-siu, Siu-yok, Bak kua, Char kuey tew, Chicken chop, Laksa, Curry, Roti planta tambah gula.........& bah kut teh!

Also, while resting your system, we are taking this chance to remove the toxin in the body for a healthier body and it is said that it will be easier to lose weight with less toxin in the body as toxin traps fats, you can't remove them other than going through detox.

As I said before, the detox require us to have a strong will on avoiding anything but Fruits and Lots of Water. With the programme, we are also needed to take in 1tbsp Psyllium Husk mix with 1cup water + bit of lemon juice. Drink the mixture at one go and immediately because Psyllium Husk will coagulate with water and act as a brush, brushing through the side of the walls of your system. Thus removing toxic from the body while 'doing your BIG business'.

The packet I bought front view.

Yes, it is RM9

This is how it looks like.

It looks like very tiny rice husk.

If you can't the mixture just like that, you are allowed to add some honey for better taste. You are required to drink the mixture right after waking up in the morning and night before sleeping. If you are taking before a meal, please take at least 1/2hour before meal.

Mixture

As you can see, it will float on water. It doesn't dissolve in water.

If you leave it long enough, it will start to coagulate and becomes like a mashed-up jelly consistency.

The husk will absorb the water which results to this.

So is best to quickly drink the mixture right after mixing it.

During the 3 days of detox period, it is best that you stay home and rest. Please do not do any harsh activities. Maybe have a laptop movie marathon or catch up with some books or play with your little nephew like me :D

Now let's read my 3 day detox diary

Day One,
Dear Body of mine,

I'm sorry that I cheated on the Detox programme already. (LOLs) I was fine the whole day until my boyfriend took me out to Pasar Malam(night market). I was tempted by the lingering smell of Uncle Bob's fried chicken and the click-clacking sound of the bubble tea store while the aunty was busy shaking those heavenly fluid. However, I thank God that I only settled with Rojak at the end of the day. Though it is still a bit off track from the plan due to the sauce and some keropok but it is better than those mouth watering grilled pork sausage rolling on the pan like a kid screaming "Buy me, Buy me!". I almost wanted to buy Jagung (corn) but my smarty-pants boyfriends just have to blurt out the reminder of planta(margarine) and salt that are layered onto the juicy, healthy corn.

Of course, as planned, drank my psyllium mixture day and night. When I checked into the fridge with eyes opened wide hoping to find some cut fruits left by my dad. Unfortunately, the hope was crushed when the empty fridge counter smiles back at me and say "Sorry, no fruits today :)" I dragged my grumbling tummy up the stairs like a rebellious dog refused to move with its master, went on to my bed and had my beauty sleep.

Tips: DON'T EVER LET YOU BF TAKE YOU TO ANY PLACES THAT HAS FOOD. REJECT THE OFFER NO MATTER HOW NICE HE IS.

Day Two,
Dear Body of mine,

Today was definitely better than yesterday. Followed the psyllium mixture routine and surprisingly, I managed to survive the day with just pitted prunes and raisins I stocked up before the detox. Oppss, I think I forgot to mention that I also conformed to the nagging of my mom to at least eat boiled vegetables with some salt. The constant statement of "For what detox?! You so thin d.... blah blah blah" still freshly ringing in my head. At that moment, the boyfriend again have to be a smart alec for joining in the party and say things like "honestly auntie(talking to my mom), I still don't get the whole not eating anything, thing..." Arghh! It is bad enough that I am hungry, they are all trying to make me cranky! Sepak engkau baru tau.

Again, my mom was not making it easy for me. She clearly knows that I am on detox for these three days and she chose to go to the grocery store and pick out all the good food with the special effort of displaying it on the dining table. All of the sudden, the dining table glows in my eyes, shines brighter like it never had before. It called out to me with an opened arms singing the oldie song 'Run to me'.

I just had to get out of the dining hall before I get into trouble. I quietly stuck my head into the fridge with my fingers cross that this time, there will be fruits for me to indulge upon. Again, I left with disappointment.

Tips: Stay strong, don't let anyone ruin your detox plan. It's only 3 days. You can do it!

Day Three,
Dear Body of mine,

YES! It's the final day, my facial muscles could now stretch and learn how to smile widely again. The last day was by far the easiest even with all the good food surrounding you. Yes, my mom tried to lure me again but I guess to know that it is the last day made me even stronger and determine to just complete the detox session.

Even though it is the easiest day, at this point, you will tend to get really really really...... extremely hungry. When I woke up in the morning, I literally felt like the acid in my tummy is telling me that my stomach is like an empty box, hollow till you tap can hear it reflecting the sound waves. It was making a whole load of noises but it did not hurt nor I felt any pain, it was just the hungry feeling. So I just did the usual routine and ate lots of prunes. Though, I was kinda getting bored of eating prunes but I still gulped it down anyway because I have nothing else to live on. I can't deny that my tummy does look flatter, of course. And oh.... yeah, I took vegetables again too.

As the night came, I get even more excited and I was telling myself that I can't wait for tomorrow to come. It was such a good feeling to know that you have stuck to the regime, especially before New Years.

Tips: When you get really hungry, drink loads of water and eat prunes/fruits. Switch up the types of fruits so that you don't have to face the same flavour every 'meal' time.

*The end*

After the 3 days detox, PLEASE DO NOT JUST GO THROWING FOOD & MEAT IN YOUR STOMACH. By this time, your tummy needs to slowly gain back the momentum of digesting the food, so go slow during these post-detox period. Be kind to your stomach. Also, be aware that you might go to the toilet a lot during the detox period but note that it is normal.

I was told that some people might experience diarrhoea/diarrhea (lau sai) but personally I didn't. I went to the toilet a lot and my bowel system was really good with only very soft faeces, not liquid.

Yes, I admit that you will feel a little weight lost but not much. Again, this objective is to detox, not losing weight. I think it just works psychologically thinking that you are healthier because you laid off on meat and all the unhealthy food for 3 days. I personally didn't felt like I was really changed in any way nor did I felt like wonder women after the detox. I guess it gave me a satisfied feeling of achieving something and giving my body a rest.

I'm just gonna share on some healthier snacking ideas. These are some of the youtube gurus that I'm subscribe to and I think this can help alot if you are a junk food lover. Bear in mind that not all products we can find in Malaysia. Maybe I should go scout for healthy snacks and make a video on it? Should I?

Love Your Body Ladies!

I know that all cover girl/models are photoshoped but this is extremely awesome and funny at the same time. Something specific for magazine industry. The person who did this video is a genius.

The video is the fun part!

Uglee Pen.com, Saya Sebatang Pen.

2012-01-14T16:21:00.002+08:00

UG = Ultimate Grip

Lee = Physician who spent 8 years obsessing over the pen's design.

I was sent a package on this very special UGLEE Pen. I had 3, so I gave out the other 2 to my friends. My first impression wasn't all great, I thought that the pen was in a weird shape (usually ergonomic designs are weird) and feels very light and cheap and plastic. It feels like it's not a good quality pen. The pen was in point 1.0 which I hated because I usually prefers 0.5 ever since I was in high school. Why? Because my handwriting is ugly like 'Cakar Ayam', to write in a bigger ballpoint feels like emphasizing my horrible 'calligraphy'. However, the it has a really smooth writing ink which I really like.

All my prior negative opinion will be justify later why you should buy this pen.

Inventor Biography

Dr. Lee received his BS in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University and his MD from Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Lee has done his share of writing throughout his academic and professional life. All of the writing required by medical school and physician training took its toll. After trying just about every pen and failing to find a truly comfortable one, Dr. Lee was determined to create his own. Known to even fire his own clay pens, Dr. Lee has experimented with just about every combination of shape, texture, material, and ink mixtures in search of the optimum combination for the "Perfect Pen."

Design is not the pretties with some jelly feel grip at the 1/2 bottom. It is a pretty Jumbo pen. Very light weight with plastic exterior covering the rest of the pen. I like that it has a clip so you can clip on to anything and I like that it is the clicking kind of pen, not those with cap that you need to open and close.

Pay attention here

Very light weight = less mass = less inertia = less energy needed to write = more comfort.

Full size grip = 1/2 jelly feel exterior, I am one of those heavy handed people where we grip our pen like trying to squeeze out all the juice from the pen. It will feel weird at first for me to write and grip this pen tightly as the jelly thing makes it weird but it is a good way for us to learn how to use less force on the pen which results in less pain onto our hands. Also, with this material, it grips you, so it won't just slipped of from your hands.

Ink = smooth, really smooth.

I wanna try...

2012-01-13T10:45:00.001+08:00

I so wanna try this! There is a high possibility that it catches my eyes due to its chic packaging with oh-so-paris and gossip girls' signature 'xoxo'. All the heart shape everywhere skipped my heart for just a little bit.

This is the Wannabe Collection from Etude House. Not surprising as Etude House always managed to lure me with their packaging skills. I'm sure I'm not the only one being suckers for packaging! xD

I stumbled across this while I was browsing through my morning Facebook routine and saw their FB update with this beautiful babies. Etude House FB Link

This is a view of their entire collection.

This is the Wannabe Moisture Fix Mist.

I hope this works like a Mac Fix Plus which will help keep your makeup in place and with added moisture.

Wannabe Shine Finish Pact SPF27/PA++ & Highlighter Duo

I love contouring my face so to have highlighter into this pack is probably and added bonus. However, I'm not sure if it would cause the powdering of my face to be affected as we wouldn't want to highlight our entire face. Still the packaging will look good on my vanity.

Wannabe Style Nails #1 So Hot Chic

I think the added cool factor is that this comes with nail art stickers. :D

Though, I'm not sure if the stickers will stick well onto the nails.

Wannabe Style Making Kit

I know it wannabe collection but maybe too much of glitter eyeshadows? They do look pretty but I do hope that the fall outs will be less and hoping that all the particles of the shadow will not transfer into the lip pallet.

Plus point, I think the bottom drawer is a brow kit. If Yes, then OMG, they have made it complete a little more. Brows are very important, to have a neat brow and give your face a complete different look.

Maybe I could try this Wannabe Collection one day. :)

OMG! I'm gonna be LIVE on the 9th January 2012!

2012-01-07T04:39:00.002+08:00

When I heard by Zheng Norah informing me that Tey Cindy is going to have Slumber Party, I have no idea that it is going to be a contest for her and 2 other bloggers. I thought it was just going to be a simple night but here am I reading Cindy's blog at 4am about Sloggi's Active Zippy post. I am excited!!!!

Ok maybe I won't be in the frame most of the time, of course, Cindy will be the one doing the Q&A session during the Live interview at http://sloggigirlsnight.com. Did I forget to say LIVE? Yeah, LIVE!!! The Slumber Night is going to be LIVE that night. So my face might appear ONE time during the whole night. hahahahahah!

Loreal Paris French Glamour with True Innovation

2012-01-06T16:13:00.000+08:00

Woots, I was invited to a Loreal Paris event where they introduce their new products to us. Upon reaching, they know everyone is gonna be late due to the jam, they are kind enough to provide us to some good food to fill our hungry stomachs!

As I am Typing this, I am thinking of food! This is my 3rd day of detox, woohoo!

As you can see everyone is lining up for some food!

The workshop begins and they got a few significant people to give some short speech and presentation. I'm sure you all just want to see what products did they introduce to us. xD

Jumping straight to the products. If you are too lazy to read, you can watch my Haul video at the end of this blog post.

They were so sweet packaging it so nicely for us. These skincare products were given according to our skin types.

This is the Perfect Clean Face Wash. They comes in 4 customised cleanser solutions:

Exfoliating Foaming Gentle Scrub,
Purifying Foaming Gel,
Refreshing Foaming Gel
Soothing Foaming Cream Wash.

Loreal added the new effective Scrublet brush with 500 soft and flexible tips, the silicone brush pad eliminates deep skin impurities.

Trying it for sometime now, I got the Refreshing Foaming Gel and it truly refreshes your skin. It leaves a cooling sensation onto your face and it smells good.

The potion that I have been wanting to try ever since it is out in the market. Maybe because I was sucked into their marketing strategy!

This product is marketed in such a Grand way with their statement of Crack the Code to Youthful Skin with 10 years of gene research in collaboration with Saint Louis Hospital in Paris on the study of 4000 skin-related genes.

So we all have this 'recovery genes' and it triggers the production of the proteins involved in skin renewal process. For a young skin, it takes only 6 hours after aggression to start the recovery process but for a mature skin, it occurs only 30 hours later. 5 times longer to skin recovery which results in wrinkles, signs of fatigue, sagginess and dullness.

Loreal Paris Youth Code Pre-Essence with new Pro-Gen Technology cracks the code for the activations of the skin's natural recovery process from deep within.

This is the consistency of it, it is water based but not to diluted either.

In 1 drop: Skin quality transformed. Deeply hydrated and silky smooth, allowing skin tone to look fresher.
In 1 week: Skin begin to look younger. Texture is refined and more elastic so skin looks radiant.
In 1 month: Dramatically younger!

Reminder: This is a pre-essence. Use it before essence.

Loreal White Perfect Radiance Boosting Double Essence

The white essence is a whitening product that helps neutralizing the program of melanin production at the source and it helps to unload existing melanin on the skin layer.

The pink essence is a radiance boosting product with Tourmaline gemstone known to stimulate skin microcirculation which results in the shining through of your inner rosy glow.

and liquid texture without leaving sticky feeling. Mix it well on the back of your hands before applying it on your face to avoid uneven application.

*Screams* Another Loreal True Match Series!

Roll On True Match Perfecting Foundation

I love it in a compact form so I can easily travel with it!

It covers flaws like uneven skin, light scars and covers creases. You can truly see a good coverage. It is sooooo easy to apply, Just GLIDE it ON. Check out my video on this.

Tried it: even though it is a full coverage foundation, you still need to cover your pimples with concealer.

Loreal Paris Double Extension Curl 24 Mascara.
For an all-day and all night long curled-up glamour lashes.

Step 1: Aqua flex base (white)
It nourish and relax the lashes and primed it for the ultimate curl hold.

Step 2: Flex-Polymer technology (black)
Ultra lengthening topcoat with flex-polymer for endurable curled up lashes.

Tried it: Super lengthening like Superman! Waterproof and stays on forever. Curling not so much for me, I still have to pre-curl my lashes for the ultimate look. Maybe it works better for shorter lashes.

"ahhhhhhhhh" * Lets do the Choir with the arrival of this baby. Among all, I'm excited most with this.

Loreal Paris Base Magique Smoothing Velvet Primer
Pronounce Magique as 'Magic'

This is the secret to a Perfect Skin Texture. This creamy product provides you a perfect smooth skin like a the even texture of a paper. It prepares your skin for a perfect canvas before makeup.

In layman terms, if you have uneven skin texture, it is harder to apply makeup to make it look good. Applying this base fills up the area of your fine lines, wrinkles and pores to create an even skin texture for makeup. (like a bumpy road suddenly became a smooth riding experience when it is near to elections because they filled up all the holes on the road)

A thick creamy soft paste (like peanut butter) which gives a matte and silky finish. The pinkish paste gives an extra boost for radiance.

Silicone Oil: Provides easy and non-oily gliding application
High Concentration in Polymer: Gives a strong blurring effect for radiant ad illuminating finish.
Soft Powders: Gives skin a matte finish and looks soft from every angle.
Rosy texture: Corrects skintone for a translucent appearance skin.

100% oil and fragrance free, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. Dermatologist tested and suitable for all skin types.

Application method:
Take a small amount and rub it between your two fingers to create a smoother texture for easier application onto skin.

Thank you Loreal for the event! I enjoyed it! You all are such friendly bunch of people!

Check out the videos for a more close up look on the product.

This is a Haul.

This is the 2 product testout on the Roll on foundation and the mascara.

LKW: Creativity in Motion

2012-01-02T14:48:00.000+08:00

They know how to end 2011 well!

LimKokWing celebrates Christmas and congratulate their graduation class of Fashion and Retail Design students with another edition of their famous Creativity in Motion series on the 22 December 2011 in Publika Square, Solaris.

18 designers showed off their collections drawing from inspiration such as Arabic Abayas, Indian textiles, Japanese Samurais and others with a hint of contemporary twist.

Awards were also given to students with the best techniques and the most creative collections.

There were no shortage of talent on show because some of the performance from the University's Sound and Music Design Academy with their originals or covers were pretty good and can be the next big thing.

The host that night were also great. I like them. It really is the world in One Place at LKW! There's just so many different nationalities.

Blush Paper & Mistletoe Kiss by Michelle Phan

2011-12-31T10:05:00.000+08:00

If this existed long time ago, please give me a slap cause I literally just found out 2 weeks ago about this BLUSH PAPER!

I googled it and this is one of them selling blush paper: http://www.maicouture.com/products/BLUSH-PAPIER.html

As I was watching Michelle Phan's Video, at one point she was using a blotting sheet to create a matte look for her lips and another moment, she was tearing of Blush Paper from the same blotting sheet! I was like "Woah, wait wait, REWIND!"

It so awesome to know that she now has her face on a Lancome Box with all amazing cosmetic goodies inside. I feel among all beauty gurus, she is one of the most daring ones. She does all kind of costume look with wigs and all kinds of accessories that not everyone is willing to try.

I love other beauty gurus like Elle, Holly, Megan, Rae, Charlotte and MszJackieChu but Michelle definitely win in the best videography because of the short story that comes along with her tutorials that makes it extra interesting to watch. I think she does voice over most of the time and I like her constant changing background that fits the theme. Maybe because I a partially in the broadcasting field, I pay some attention to the music as well. I like her choice of music and I do like some of her songs as well.

Maybe I should do a "my fav beauty guru" blogpost and say why. :D Should I?

Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+

2011-12-29T16:03:00.000+08:00

The perfect skin?

Damn it, we all want that, even guys!

One of the major concern and challenging problem in skin care is the stubborn, hard-to-remove spots. These problems may only appear highly more noticeable on older skin but the result for not taking good care of your skin now is the result of these dark spots.

For a young-chap like me, you may not see any difference in using this product as some of you probably think that you already have the perfect skin. Well, outwardly looking flawless doesn't mean internally your skin is not starting to build up all the persistent melanin that will appear in the later years.

The problem with dark spots is that it hides under your skin. So no matter how much you scrub the surface of your skin, obviously it is not going to work.

The trick with dark spots is to work into the skin. So this is what the new Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum does, it mimics laser treatment. Though, obviously this is way cheaper than going for Laser and apparently Laser treatment only works for a few months, after that your dark-spots will re-occur.

In this Spot Targeting Serum, the new technology is call the Melano Sensor System+

Step 1: Stop spots before they start - m-Tranexamic Acid targets the excess condition of persistent spots.
Step 2: Target the root of spot formation - 4MSK helps diminish the activity of enzyme tyrosinase.
Step 3: Reduce melanin production - Multi-Target Vitamin C reduces its volume.
*NEW* Step 4: Remove signs of melanin smoothly - MelanoCrush Energizer targets trouble spots and crushes melanin. 4MSK regulates cell turnover. Darkened melanin is smoothly removed.

If you're a noob on these freaking terms just like me, I usually skip reading the bombastic scientific terms. In layman term, this new technology will target spots and crushes the roots of their pigmented appearance. Those pigments that has been crushed to fine particles will then be pushed up to the skin surface when then be cleanse away!

To Use:
Apply morning and evening, after softening lotion and before moisturiser.
Push pump twice to dispense serum onto palm and smooth over face.

This is the consistency of the serum. Not thick, watery-based for easier absorption.

I have my mom trying it out for me and she told me that after using it for about 2 week, she sees a lighter skin. Of course, not fully removed spots but it is visible that it is working slowly for a clearer complexion.

This bottle is 30ml and will only be available in March 2012 onwards. So do drop by your local Shiseido counter for information.

UFO: Taiwanese Snacks and Dessert

2011-12-29T14:34:00.000+08:00

Ohla!

I was invited to a food testing some time ago and a bunch of us bloggers was just there knocking ourselves out with a whole lot of finger foods and bubble tea and bowls of icey goodness!

I got there kind of late and everyone was already there with their ordered food and the usual, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEIR FOODs until every picture is taken! Lols, that is what I love about bloggers gathering. Thanks to Benjamin Foo for his invitation.

SO smart of them! Who wouldn't like Calamari Rings?! Fried SOTONG!

UFO MilkTea!

This is the Mini QQ Special.

The fun part about UFO is that they have the full size and mini specials!

Can you see the difference? This is the big version of the Taro Balls. However, I think a few of us don't prefer our grassjelly to be this big. We preferred it to be diced into smaller pieces.

Chicken Fillet. Again! Who wouldn't like Fried Chicken!

Mini QQ Special Ocha-Ocha

I think this is Issac's Bowl of Icey Goodness.

I remembered it because of the two big dumplings.

For some reason, that day, he ordered all the dumplings he can.

If you should know, this is another snack ordered by Issac.

Sesame Glutinous with Peanut Toppings

And it was YUMMY....

Maybe because I like almost anything with sesame.

This is something cool.

Cheese Hot Dog.

I know it is not something new but I don't know why but I personally do like them a lot.

Now when it comes to fries. They are one hell of a master. UFO have a freaking wide range of flavoured fries. Unfortunately, we only managed to order a few types.

Picture above is Cheese flavoured.

You probably can see any difference here but order it for yourselves. You will know what I mean.

This is my order, do you remember last time McD has this Seaweed shaker?

Oh how I miss that! and WoahLa! UFO has them and I just couldn't take my hands off them!

This is my FAVOURITE Seaweed Fries!

I think this is the Chilli Fries. Okay this is not much fancy with just the sprinkle of chilli powder but still, it is a freaking good snack!

They have other flavours like Wasabi and BBQ.

I'm surprise that none of us actually order those.

The is the all time super famous drink

The Pearl Milk Tea

It taste decent and it is way cheaper in price as compared to other commercialized bubble teas.

Let's have a tour of all these beautiful and handsome bloggers attended the testing.

The Menu :D

now you can plan what you want before actually getting there and staring at the menu blankly.

Btw, if you don't already know. UFO gives you the liberty to pick your own toppings!

I was literally blur blur while picking them as there were so many choices.

Heads Up: For the Soya Series, it will get a bit 'too much' after a while because soya can tend to make you full sometimes. So you should really share that with a friend.

Heads Up #2: For Matcha, unless you are a big fan of green tea and a big fan of drinking green tea doesn't count. Like me, I personally love drinking green tea because they are good for you but I hated them in any other forms of food like ice-cream or cakes. So, this is just a FYI.

Don't forget to collect your UFO pager!

I'm a Santarina with Lighting Studio & Academy on Christmas Eve

2011-12-26T21:46:00.002+08:00

Ho Ho Ho

Blessed Christmas Everybody!

On Christmas Eve, I finally get my wish to have a shooting opportunity with my new hairstyle in order to update my modelling profile. I was at the DCIM MidValley Exhibition Hall for this photoshoot job with the amazing Lighting Studio & Academy. If you don't know, they offer courses, workshops and masterclasses on photography, videography, digital art and digital music! Check out LISA Website or LISA Facebook . People that I was working with are fun and friendly bunch of artistic people.

I was told to be a Santarina for the first time! :D

Big Thanks to Danny Ong one of the photographer present that day. Whoever was there, please add me on facebook and tag me the pictures! Thank you!

Just an update on me, I am planning to start my full detoxification on the 28 December 2011. It will last for 3 days surviving only on fruits, water or juices. I've learned this from the recent Mirror's Ambassador pre-final talk by the famous nutritionist, Wong Yu Jin. My routine will be as following:

Day One:

Morning after waking up
