Ad: Sweet Dancing Ballerina

Look what I got from Sweet Dancing Ballerina!!!




SKII Products! I'm quite new to them, having acquired my first bottle of SKII Whitening Source from my dearest Chiobu aunt just a few months ago. But I gotta admit, they're good. No problems on my skin after using them. No breakouts whatsoever. My skin's already good la I know, but hey, I'm suckers for good facial products, and I use whatever's good. So as long as this one keeps my skin that way, I'm happy.

And oh, Sweet Dancing Ballerina sells these darlings in travel sizes, so if you're new to SKII, these are great for you to try out without burning a hole in your pocket (it may lure you to once you find they're good, though~)


First, you use the cleanser to cleanse your face of dirt and grime.


Then, you use the Facial Treatment Clear Lotion like a toner. Using a cotton pad.
You can then follow it with your Miracle Water or any other serum/moisturizer which you are currently using.


I also got these~~~

What did I say about me being suckers for facial products? =)


Make-up-less.

They carry stuff for nails too!!!

This is my favourite product from them so far - the Crystal Nail File. 

I've had numerous experiences with nail files, ranging from metal ones to emery boards. Many of them give the nail edge a jagged, rough feeling, like they're sorta tearing the nail. I used this crystal nail file on my chipped nail, and it glided across my nails smoothly!





This whole thing is made of uniquely hardened glass with a gentle abrasive surface that is permanently etched into the glass. The ultra fine-textured grit is ideal for natural nails, and won’t promote chipping and peeling like other files do.

Best part? This costs only $11.90!!! A Faceshop nail file will easily set you back $5 lor (or more?), don't even talk about the "branded" nail files. The normal nail files will become "unfile-able" after a few uses due to wear and tear of the grits , but this one seems to last for quite a while. *satisfied user*


They also sell nail art decos! (These are $1/pack!!!)
Look what I did with some of them - 



Green's one of my favourite colours for now. Together with yellow. Don't ask me why.
p/s: Thanks Kanny for the light green MJ nail polish~


Sweet Dancing Ballerina carries other stuff like accessories and cosmetics too~ Basically,
What a Girl Wants, What a Girl Needs~~~~~
Zip over now to check them out!!! (before I continue singing that song and scare you guys...)

Renovation Works in Progress

I haven't been updating lately cos I've been busy packing up my room for renovation works which are going on this week in my house. Best thing was this: Supposing renovation works will start tomorrow, then tonight Mummy comes into your room and announces "Tomorrow the reno guys are coming. Clear your room by tomorrow. Put your stuff into my bedroom."

I almost died of a heart attack. I've to EMPTY my wardrobe, shelves and basically practically EVERYTHING into my mum's room? She's doing renovation for me and my sis' rooms, so ALL our stuff are gonna go into HER ROOM? And I was NOT provided boxes to pack. AND my house ALWAYS has a serious shortage of plastic bags, even for throwing rubbish.

So how is emptying my room in one night possible sia? Ambition at it's best leh. It was that night when I was doing the magic video. The next day I had to go perform in front of Liu Qian. Can you imagine how stressed I was? 

Anyway, what happened was I DID manage to clear everything (I know, I'm amazed too, Girls, you know how much stuff we own). For the whole renovation period, my mum and sis will sleep in my mum's room (as always anyway. Sis has been sleeping there for as long as I can remember). Which leaves me with nowhere to koon. Living room's out, it's messy, plus on the days when I don't have to work I don't exactly fancy workers walking all over me. Kitchen is already filled with my stuff. (Duh, you really think EVERYTHING can fit into my mum's room?) Balcony? It's for doing laundry. And there'sno way I'm going to stay in the house with all the noise and the workers in the house. I treasure my own space. A LOT.

Yesterday I tried to go book a chalet room, figuring since it's July and not the school holidays, I should be able to get a room. Guess what? It's full. Cheap, yes, at $90 per night. But FULL. Great. So I tried budget hotels like Value Hotel, AQueen, Hangout@Emily, yada yada...

THEY ARE COMPLETELY BOOKED AS WELL.

What is going on????????? I heard even Swissotel's almost full, and only the suites are left.
After talking to a friend, I realized...

Y.O.G.


KNNJDCYDDBT~~~~

Oh you know what? This very sweet girl had her mum help me check room availability cos her mum works with the hospital to help foreign families find accomodation while their loved ones are hospitalised here. Thanks Olivia! Okay you know what? Her mum actually even checked all the Fragrance Hotel outlets and Hotel 81s. AND THEY ARE FULL AS WELL~~~~~~ (except the Geylang outlets). HOTEL 81 leh!!!! WTH????????? Not that I would stay there la, but still...WTH???? Every 色伯伯 wants to 那个 this weekend? OR are all the YOG families staying there???

Of ALL timings. And isn't YOG starting only end of next week! Why the hell are people coming in SO early???? And taking up the budget hotels?!?!?!? Then at this time, my place has to undergo renovations (gotta happen through the weekend when families decide to stay in chalets). Suei until cannot suei... I somehow wished Mum had warned me earlier. At least I could get a place to sleep in. And pack my stuff there. Now I don't even know where my external hard disk is. It holds all my photos which I use for blogging. Which means I can't do my advertorials and reviews cos I stored the photos there!!!!! *panic* 

I'll see what I can do. I WILL get an advertorial/review up TODAY.

Then again, I still can use some old pictures from my phone I guess... (thank god I never clear the phone...)


Alton has been moved out of my place as well. The day the workers came and started knocking and making loud works, Alton went to hide in the bathroom, in the space between the toilet bowl and the wall. I figured he's going to get dusty and really uncomfortable, so I took him out. That was one of the reasons why I wanted a chalet room. I could get Alton in there easier than I can get him into a hotel.


Anyways, does anyone here miss my long hair?


I still want a place to stay. Like, not someone's place, but a nice chalet or hotel room. Cheap one under $100/night, except 81s and Fragrances. Not sure how long the renovations are going to take, but I know after our rooms are done, Mum will do HER room. I hope she doesn't do it during the September school hols. So its easier for me to book a room then. And that she'll tell me earlier. So I can book it early. For what since my room's done? To avoid the noise and the workers~ -Duh-

HELP University's School Achiever Scholarship Awards Calling For Applications!

You may recall a previous blog post where I managed to snag RM12k from the miserly corporate hands of HELP University College for my Foundation in Art studies there.Well,I haven't lost it yet,that's all you need to know about me.Another thing that you should know is that HELP has once again developed a subconscious and offering the School Achiever Scholarship Awards(or SASA for short) to all SPM,STPM and UEC Senior Middle 3 students.

If you think this is another scholarship that places the value of book smarts over street smarts,think again.How else would you think a slacker like me could get it?All you need is proof of your active co-curricular life in secondary school and voila!You'd be guaranteed a place in the interview sessions.But lest you think that ends there,applicants will go through a much stringent selection method this year than previously.You'd also have to participate in a series of group challenges that will test your leadership abilities and teamwork.There'll be people at hand to assess you personality-wise.Impress them enough,and your scholarship value goes higher.

Still,it is not a really difficult process when compared to the likes of Sime Darby and Khazanah.Once you get called up for interview,you're a shoo-in for the scholarship.The question is...how much?That all depends on how well you do.HELP's idea of rejection is to offer you a measly RM4k.An amount that they know you will surely refuse.Clever bastards,those HELP men.

Anyway,here's a breakdown of how much you'd be receiving for each of the programs.

Foundation in Arts/Science= RM4k to RM15,400(full)
Edexcel A-Levels= RM4k to RM18k(full)
American Degree Program= RM4k to RM18k(full)

Don't be fooled by the colourful prospects other colleges offer.What HELP lacks in facilities they make up for in character building.All successful applicants are required to intern under the Customer Marketing Department,where they'll have a hand in organising some big scale events like the HELP Biz Quiz,HELP's Debating Tournament,Law Apprentice and the recent Fete de la Musique.This'll give you a taste of what it's like to be a real citizen of the working world.At the risk of sounding like a shameless promoter,the experience is priceless.

So move your mouse pointer away from Facebook and your porno and click on this to apply online.For more details,go here.

See you guys at the interview!

Erm...."Magic~~~"

Heyo!!!!
I'm going to meet Liu Qian tomorrow and I'm SUPER-DUPER anxious right now. I saw that trick he did somehow combining 2 eggs into 1 heart-shaped egg and not being able to figure that out DOES NOT HELP...

Watch this. I think I can amaze my little cousins with it, but definitely NOT Liu Qian. Lol~
Do NOT laugh at my hair. I KNOW there's a bump on the right (your right hand side).

1970's Japanese Spiderman Is Amazing

Most comic book fans would know that the Spiderman movie series will be given a reboot,this time without the services of Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire in favour of Marc Webb(500 Days Of Summer) and Andrew Garfield.

What most comic fans would not know is the existence of a Japanese live action show on our favourite wallcrawler's exploits.Dubbed Supaidaman in the Land of the Rising Sun,it was in the same vein as the mega popular Super Sentai series(otherwise known as Power Rangers in the West).In fact,according to Wikipedia,it made famous the concept of human-piloted mechs versus giant monsters(Spiderman's one is called Leopardon) and the main character even had his own Spidermobile!It also pioneered two scale battles:where our hero first fights enemies his own size before battling Godzilla-sized versions of them using his mech.

The plotline is typically Japanese,where Spiderman takes a sci-fi turn.Our Peter Parker is Takuya Yamashiro,with an infinitely cooler origin as a motorcycle racer rather than nerdy high school student.One day,he encounters a crashed alien mothership.While investigating the wreckage,he is bestowed a bracelet which grants him spider powers and the ability to control the ship which can tranform into Leopardon.Meanwhile,the crash attracts Professor Monster and his Iron Cross Army into ruling the universe.Like Uncle Ben said,"with great powers comes great responsibility".And so Takuya sets forth to stop Professor Monster's plans.It is interesting to note that this version of Spiderman DOES NOT SWING ON WEBS,instead relying on his trusty car.

Since 2009,Marvel has released all 41 episodes for free viewing on their website.And I must say...your time will not be wasted.Fans of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider will definitely enjoy this series,seeing as it was one of the granddaddies of its genre.Spiderman fans will enjoy this different take on him,seeing as this show is a part of Spiderman's history.Comic book fans and everyone in general will enjoy the 70s cheesiness,whether intentionally or not is still pretty humorous.

Watch the first episode here.Believe me,it will not be a waste of your time.Because when else will you be able to witness Spiderman holding a submachine gun?No wonder Stan Lee has gone on official record to say he liked this version better than the West's live action series.

最火搭档 "Unriddle" Behind the Scenes

Hey hey good morning!!!
It seems a lot of people like my short hair leh!!!
(except for my buddy Denzel...the moment he saw my blog he called me gan-cheong-ly and asked me what the hell did I do to my hair, and said I will NEVER become so NOT fashionista~)

Not fashionista meh?
Okay la it's more cute than fashionista.


Pleased with the new look, and camwhoring loads...but I think I better not show you guys in case you don't want to scroll anymore...
But seriously hor, I think I can live with this look. Makes me wonder how come when I was in Nanyang Girls' I hated short hair. Probably because my short hair then was super ugly. Always just leave the hair with the hairstylist and NOT give instructions like "eh, cannot too long ah, cannot too fancy, then hor, the fringe cannot cover face, simple simple can already"
KNS simple lor then look like shit....







I'm serious....



















人家说女大十八变























Fuck-mad ugly!!!!!! Help~ Me during Seconday 1 days... this hair already grew longer liao leh, before that when it's just cut I look even more kuku. And this is already an improved hairstyle. The one before this hairstyle....I better not show you guys....


看我72变!!!!!

WAHAHAHAHAH~~~~


This is actually my new image for the show 《最火搭档》 "The Unriddle" airing soon! *excited*

This was done at imaging for my 坠楼后 造型. Though I look more like someone clawed me instead. =P


I supposedly landed on my right face, which explains the injury. Could have looked more injured hor?


Filming in progress


I look super sad here...because.....


The crew prepping the base...


...which I will stand on for my 坠落 scene...
For safety reasons, they didn't let me stand on the very thin ledge.
To be honest, this little set-up wasn't very stable either...but....


They tied me up. This fat pink stuff is my waist. The other end was tied to the stuntman who was supposed to save me should I really fall over accidentally.


This was what I saw when I looked down. Nope, there were no cushions or tatami mats below...just the tentage. There might be la, I couldn't be sure. But it looked like just the tentage.



The trailer looks really good~ I'm one of the many cases in the show, and I'm (one of) the pink girl who falls off the building...




Waiting for the scene where I've already landed on the floor.*装惨*




Trying to look damn 可怜. FAIL!!!!
WHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!! Hungry already la!!!! Stood on the roof for 2 hours, lie on the floor for 2 hours, make up since 7am, and I didn't have breakfast lor!!!
It's the norm though.*shrugs*
At least I'm done for the day!!!
