Tomato Facial Mask(Blemish Skin)

Lately, there has been some of my girl friends facing same skin problem as i do-that is Acne/Pimple problem. Don't you think its so upseting when you look into mirror and find your face full of spots? Oh no...please kill me!

i've consulted skin specialist several times, and being told the same thing,

' we can't tell you the exact cause of your pimples, it could be stress, hormone imbalance, or bacteria infection...'

Gosh! How can doctor throw back the ball to me? And what is the solution??

'Well, take my tablets for six months and we will monitor again....or do the injection,you'll see the difference in 2 to 3 days.'

'Injection on my forehead? Puhlease....shoot me..Alrite,i choose the longer path:'('

Despite taking medication prescribed by doctor, i've grabbed a tip from Mr T's sister. She is having equally bad acne problem, and she discovered doing it in organic way for a facial mask is helpful. And to my surprise, her spots totally dried out after she has done the mask for 3 times.

So i quickly tested on my skin, and it worked!
I can't wait to share this with you!

You just need THREE of THESE:

Pure Yogurt ( No flavouring)
(i'd recommend Super Yogurt from NZ because it's not too watery)
1 X Tomato
1 X clean and plain Facial Mask Sheet (optional)

Ingredients:

Take 2 spoonful of yogurt into a bowl.
Wash the tomato, peel off the skin, and put it into a blender.
(or just mash it with barehand, but make sure your hands are clean)
Mash/Blend the tomato until it is even.
Mix the tomato mash with the yogurt.
Stir to form a smooth paste.

If you have extra hands to help apply the paste onto your face, its fantastic:) All you have to do just lie down with your feet up and relax for 15 minutes, until the mask is almost dry.

Otherwise, a plain facial mask sheet is helpful. Just pour the paste onto the sheet bit by bit and let it soak for 10 second, then slowly apply it to your face. One good thing about the mask is, it helps to hold the juice/mash dribbles all around your neck. Just put the towel around neck for cleaning purpose.

Or you have better way to do it, do share me!
After 15 minutes, just rinse it off with plenty of water and a soft cloth.

For i am having really bad acne on my forehead, so i apply the mask on alternate days. I will not say the pimples/acne go off immediately after the mask, but they dry out on the affected area. Tomato is one good natural ingredient for blemish skin.


Oh yeah, one small tip:
To avoid allergy, test it on your skin near your ear area or hand before you apply it to your whole face.

Alright, i am looking at other natural ingredients in making facial masks for blemish skin. Please do share me if you have some cool tips!



Stay beautiful, people!

Winson loves Lydia Forever

For a woman, this is one of the most beautiful moments in life.





Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
NONO,we are not trying to steal the limelight of the bride!
Look, the bride is so nervous!




The Duo in the younger times, have now met again.





8 princess from highschool, missing Gin and replaced by Moymoy Tin for the moment:P


*DING DONG*

'THEY ARE HERE!'





ROUND 01:
PASSING THE ONIONS AROUND

The heng dais are needed to line up in a U-shape and passing the onions by only using mouth from first to the last one. The last one will be the groom, to pass back the onion to us. Altogether 9 onions to pass around.

Gee***

We start to smell the onion when it goes to fifth/sixth person and can you imagine when one of the sisters collects the onions that are full with saliva?? Nono...not a good idea cuz the groom will need to kiss the bride later!

ROUND 02:
EAT UP ALL THE CANDIES BENEATH THE FLOUR


A love-shaped box covered with sugar and flour is given.
The box has 12 candies inside, so each heng dai will need to eat up each candy by only using mouth. The difficult part is, they are not allowed to cross/step over the string!

So hengdai, please lend a hand to your friend and pull him straight!

Now you see a Siberian Husky:P

'Easy job la! What a mission!'

ROUND 03:
FINISH THE BANANA IN 30 SECOND

5 heng dais will be selected to finish up the banana within 30 seconds.
Instead of chewing bit by bit, they squeezed the whole slice into mouth, and start swallowing! hahaha,damn funny... we hear them say,

' oh gosh, now only know banana also can choke!'






ROUND 04:
GUESSING WHAT'S INSIDE THE BLACK BOX

if i were to do this, i think i would probably dig my hand in with a scream!
it looks so jittery to me!

'Tell us what you feel with your touch...'

'i think got orange..WRONG!'

'grape...WRONG!'

'orange...already said WRONG!'

'Please don't simply guess'

'Err.....Durian?? WRONG'

'Ar... FISH! Yes,you've got one correct'


...finally they got all 3 items correct, which are fish, apple, and carrot. Their hands must have scared the little fishes..poor thing...





YaaY, the groom finally got her!

Actually, the mission didn't just end there.
The groom did the last challenge for the bride-he sang his own song by playing guitar.

SURPRISE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW!






TA-DA!






We all the chi muis really take our hat off for you,heng dais!

The prince & princess

The wedding dinner was held at the Noble Banquet, a simply modern chinese restaurant that comes in a very modest yet graceful decor. By right, the atmosphere was supposed to be a little tranquil and tasteful..But then sorry la...not our table...there was just one happening bunch of chics not knowing what was going on. This is what happen when you put more than 3 women together, provided more the very 38 and 'close-to-death' buddies. Asking what you do la, saying your dress nice la, asking where you buy your shoes from la, complaining about your job la...list goes on and on..

... and the funniest thing is, after Yen li talked on a topic about cervical cancer, all women from the same table suddenly become like aunty, all eager to go for injection.

'aiyo...when la when la go for injection...'
'scare la..true also huh very scary thing..'
'ok la let's go together gether okie...'
'..all going together maybe got extra discounts!'

finally... the conclusion is, all the so-called aunties are expecting me to name a day so all of us can go for the injection together-gether:P
See la...women business..injection also can go in one Van already!
We call it Women Power!

3 crazy women gone a little overexcited....at the wedding!
thanks to the very 'un'professional cameramen that like to snap candid pictures, camera is a no good gadget, sigh..it simply drives women crazy!

Okay..at least these are the looking-proper ones.
Say cheese hot chics!

Behave! and smiley with the newly wed:)

走走二月A walk in Feb

My Second Visit at MAX!





The Super Succulent Tenderloin wit the very sinful Pate





Fighting tiger prawns?
Chargrilled Yabbies lobster was served as appetizer





Tuna Loins wit special grilled squid
Double Thumb-ups!


第二次光顾的西餐店，
菜单没有太多选择，
可是每一道都是精心炮制的。
不管是肉的嫩度，还是鹅肝的厚度，
都是让人期待的细节。


遇到好的食物，也需要一点点缘分，
这位厨师，跟他的作品一样，
很有性格。

Steamed Pork Belly in a roll at The Silk Road, Pavillion


朋友的生日，想吃中餐。
结果千选万选的，挑了丝绸之路，
那天是星期天，店里就只有我们，
感觉好像把店包起来了。
不懂为什么，太安静的餐厅让我有种不安的感觉。
当时在猜想，
是食物不好，或者服务差？
算了，试下吧。


结果两人叫了三道菜加一汤，
汤还过得去，
可是那道麻婆豆腐真的差的有点让人惊喜，
怎么这样高级的中餐厅，
这样简单的菜让人吃起来感觉菜已冷了，
更失望的是，像是吃味精加豆腐，
有点失败。


这道白肉卷，还算ok,
我喜欢那个把肉片吊起来的吊架，
很有气势。


有时太安静的气氛，
真的不妙。

Trying on the long vest at Promod
My friend finds my fashion sense weird, i kinda love it though..but i din buy:)


很纯碎的逛，没有目的的逛，
只是很想随便看看，随便穿穿漂亮的服饰，
让自己心情爽爽。
朋友发现我最近的fashion sense 很奇怪，
穿的好像‘神婆’，
‘哈哈，像什么不重要，
只要我爽，吹吗？’
有点喜欢这件on sale的长vest,
如果KL有四季，
还可以考虑:)





My favorite lala dish at Feng Lai Restaurant

晚餐时间，朋友问，

‘想吃什么？’

‘唔.....想吃啦啦’

‘啦啦好吃嚒？吃回同类’

讨厌！我的fashion sense 你不认同，我无所谓，
要是我真的是啦啦，我也是独特的啦啦ok?

这道九层塔蛤蜊，
很有满足感
我特别钟爱九层塔的香味！

Theobroma Chocolate

Chocolate Fondue with fresh fruits and marshmallows
*shakes head

‘好久没吃fondue,想吃Chocolate!’

看到令人垂涎的fondue摆设，
充满希望的把香蕉浸在巧克力湖里，
然后捞上来，
一口的咬下去，

啊.......*


......有点失望。


巧克力湖太油了，而且不够热，
沾了油腻腻又不冷不热的chocolate，
吃下去很腻！


好吃的巧克力湖，
是应该当水果一捞上来的时候，
会立即凝结成薄薄的一层巧克力块，
咬下去的是时候是脆脆的，
口感是QQ的，
然后配着冷冷的水果吃，更爽！




唉，对不起，或许我要求太多了。



就这样，

我又与二月份，并肩的溜过了。

Happy V' Day

Hey!

Happie Valentine's Day:)

6 left...who's next?

I received a surprise call from her 2 weeks ago after more than 500days we have not been physically in contact.

'Hey! How are ya?'

'Oh hey, i am good. So whats up?'

' Nola..just calling to check if you are okie..and also...
...to tell you that i am getting married this month!'

'ohh....what a news!congrats babe!'

double surprise:)

I do feel very happy for her but honestly to say i am feeling a lilttle miserable too. She is a very bestie of mine for more than 10 years...arghh counting the years now, look, we are aging... Though there has been ages we have not met or even talked, i still miss her very dearly at heart. After Yen Li, she is the second among the eight who jumps in the world of 'being caged' we call it.

But hey!**The list doesn't go like this..still very clear in mind, we used to make a name list of 'who will kahwin first' based on our predictions/understanding on the desperate-ness of the ladies in becoming a tai tai. Guess what, things often happen in a total reverse direction!*

The most unlikely to get married at early age are the ones who jump in first!

Look who's talking:P

(quote from Ms Law, "marry?What is marry?")

Yen Li
(quote from Ms Lee,"I will never get married...never...")





We, during our trip to Singapore when we were in Standard 6





We, joined the church caroling team on a X'mas





We, attended her birthday celebration when we were in Form 4




We, at our usual outing on the weekends

Isn't it amazing to share the precious moment of someone whom you have grown up with when you were small?

First, i don't just see like another wedding, like just another fren of mine is getting married. No, i feel as if it's my day too. Argh...she more than just a friend, a very close childhood fren that we both shared the same memories ever since primary school by sitting next to each other in class, eating and playing together during recess time, spending weekends at each other's house; going to the same secondary, sitting next to each other again in class, eyeing on the same guy, ponteng together, hanging out with the same sisters, celebrating bday together in the same month and often being mistaken we were real sisters. Yes, sometimes when we were lazy at explanation, we just claimed we were sisters. Many have believed for it, Yes! all thanks to the similiar chubby cheeks we have and we would just chuckle about it the whole time.*laughs

Hey, we once said we wanted to become a beauty queen together one day;
and this i am particularly brave to say, i have made it happened:P
I have fulfilled one of our mutual wishes;
and now you have fulfilled another beautiful wish before me,
that you already found someone you love and make it an eternity bond:)
God is always fair dearie, we are always blessed.
Now, you are not just a woman,
but a world to a man:)

I will see you pretty soon at your wedding..:)

PS:i beg you...do not play our pictures on the slide show...puhleaseee....haha..if really no choice..then just be kind on me a little okie....be selective just a little okay?

草场记

最近没有什么贡献，
在家看小宝贝们。


原来带小朋友是一项学问。
今天从Nursery home 接大宝贝放学，
每次回到家都不肯脱鞋，
尽管怎样用‘婆婆会骂’的字眼来吓她，也不就范；
原来，放学回家后吃个粥，
她就要赶下一场了。


家后面的草场，就是她的游乐园。
如果雨滴不大到可以把她淋透，
她吵着去到为止，不肯罢休。
唉，真的感谢爸妈的习惯手势，
她聪明的有模有样握着雨伞，
站在门口喊，
‘逗逗..’
发音不准的讲，
‘走走...’


就这样，刚好阿姨今天又点mood,
大手拖小手，
一步一步的走着去，
看着她出门前不忘把我的hairband往头上挂，
哈哈...
有点顶她不顺，又有点暗爽...
因为很快她就有阿姨的风范了!


走到草场，她很熟悉的往千秋的方向奔，
然后很乖的，坐在千秋上，
接着我就很顺手的荡她。
一眼看去，草场上有很多家长，
都是带着小朋友来玩。


大宝贝有了千秋万事足，
不吵又不闹，
刚好隔壁有个空档，
有个像是singh族的小男孩跑来坐上秋千，
然后对着大宝贝扮鬼脸，
接着又嬉皮笑脸的跟她讲‘hi..'
哈哈，真的很cute的，
这样小就会‘撩’女孩子!
可是瞄向他妈妈的表情，就知道妈妈有多头痛。
他就像个活猴子，到处乱跑，到处乱去‘撩’人。
结果，他妈妈拿他没办法就把他拖回去了。


走了一个小猴子，又不懂哪里跑来两个姐妹淘，
一肥一瘦的，向我们的方向冲着来，
然后，瘦的那个就指向我家的宝贝，
‘那个是我们的同学，ze xin!’
接着，两个人就忙着向我自我介绍，
一人一句，比里吧啦的很会讲话，
然后又问我是谁，
叫什么名字，
然后一人一手的帮宝贝的hairband戴正。


其实这两个小瓜很可爱的，
可是嘻嘻哈哈到一半，
突然两个跑去草地上，
就脱下裤子露出两个光屁屁，
就这样不理你死活当众尿尿！
大宝贝看的入神，
Oh No...
我赶快盖着她的眼睛，
‘咦，shame shame, 不要看，不要看,”
要是下次来她有样学样，我就‘晕’了！



唉，还是早点带她回家算了，
她也玩的知足了，笑的爽爽的提着雨伞，
弯着腰扮阿婆走路回家了；
又不懂她哪里学回来的。

*摇头*


现在，我总算体会一点点当妈妈的感觉了。





她就是喜欢这样戴阿姨的hairband,
管你说它歪了，
她就是爽啊！

零八圣诞

叮，叮，叮，
传说中在圣诞节很热闹，很有气氛的Orchard Road，
终于有机会见识了.

真的很喜欢被装饰成大型棒棒糖的街灯，
还有Marks & Spencer 的糖果屋，
真的很Sugar:)







甜蜜节日的促使下，很难不让人展开笑容。
尤其对这对‘新人’来说，这个圣诞尤如浪漫甜蜜月。
两个人的幸福笑容，竟是有这样的影响力。
望着我生命里如此有分量的朋友笑得如此灿烂，
真的很开心可以分享他们的喜悦。

特别的节日除了跟要好的朋友庆祝，
能够认识新朋友更是整添喜气，
谢谢你们的热情招待，
我们感受到了！

与久违的朋友聚一聚，吃个饭！
小瀛子，你还是一样亮丽，
这次看你还多了一份成熟美。
你介绍的三盅两件，Very 赞！

久违的感动

从前常为我们在特别日子写卡的小小，
让我们重拾当年的感动。
收到她亲手做的小卡，想起来真的很久没有收到朋友的这一份心思。
想想自己曾为朋友做过什么，才发现什么都没做过。

我们现在只能一直怀念曾经住在一起的日子，
可是那份向往见面及重聚的心情喜悦一点都没有减少。
原来她已经不小了，而且现在长肉了，
懂的东西还比我广，真是让我无地自容。；
她始终是我们的小博士！

这次见面，还是少了Moy，
有点遗憾，不要紧，下次我们一定要四人重聚！
Lia Family 的重聚，我一定要让它实现。

这一趟圣诞之旅，让我最有惊喜的就是与Rhu见面。
一位素未谋面的朋友，因为文字的交流而结识了。
当我坐在餐厅等候她的到来时，收到了她其中一则短讯，
‘donno why feel very shy suddenly'...;
我笑了出来，因为我跟她一样，不知道为什么，
突然间有像相亲般的紧张。
哈哈，这份心情真的用金钱都没办法买到，
谢谢你特地搭了一个小时的车跑到老远与我见面。
这份诚意，我不会忘记。
真的想跟你说，
‘很开心能认识你！’

城中最热的club-St James!

这里的club有点跟KL不一样，入门费比KL便宜；
而且它的特别地方就在于，它一共有11间不同概念的房间，
让你付一次的入门费，穿插于11间不同的空间。
最值得一提的，就是有些room有现场live band演奏，
感觉像是看演唱会，因为年轻的歌手唱的专业，舞蹈员也很‘热’，
加上拥挤全场的观众，气势跟现场演唱会没有分别。

看！销魂的热辣舞蹈员！

看!打扮前卫的吉他手！

看！人潮汹涌的一刻！

哈哈，这不是煞风景，他们比台上的歌手还要抢眼！


这三个人也是我们的焦点。
身穿白色长领的那一位哥哥全场就像照片里一样，
好像吃了摇头丸不停的自己在high;
那位身穿直线的样衰哥哥，
很大胆的手不停在那女生身上游走，
整整...整个晚上！
女生好无奈！

这就是小瀛子介绍的三盅两件招牌菜，

三水鸡及每天只卖三十份的特制肉饼。

鸡是冷盘，要配生菜吃，点些姜就已经很好吃了！

肉饼的馅里有咸鱼，所以配饭吃，很开胃！

三个字形容吧‘平，靓，正’
...还不是鸡饭！

来到新加坡，每个人都会说一定要吃海南鸡饭！
但是哪里好吃呢？朋友大力推荐的就是在Maxwell Road 的天天海南鸡饭！
哎，在新加坡就是有这个困扰，不管去到哪里都要排队；
就连在小贩中心找个位子也要等；
哪怕跟你抢，只怕抢不到。*闲
终于明白为什么，在那里人也变得kiasu一点。

可是说到这家鸡饭，它是全场最威水的吧，
因为不管是六十岁阿嫲，提LV手袋安娣，OL小姐，西装先生，全部都耐心的排长龙，
就为了买鸡饭！
很夸张，所以我们也要Kiasu一点，排队咯。

偶然遇见的德国餐厅Broitzeit

在外经过餐厅时，看见几乎每一桌子都点了一盘超大的猪排/牛排，
肉的分量大的看起来有点夸张，
因为它是用类似切肉的砧板给端出来的，
结果饿的像饿鬼的我们，顿时找到目标了！

很可惜的，我们一坐下来，第一时间向招待员指着要那盘肉的时候，
她竟然说‘That's the last one!'
OMG,有点失望。
不是吧，这个也要抢？

算了吧，唯有吃猪手咯。
不懂是不是总抱着‘隔壁桌的好像比较好吃’
所以我们点的几道都没有惊喜。

Carnivore肉兽Buffet

巴西料理，肉兽餐！
随便你吃多少，只要你能吃，他就一直为你切肉！
鸡肉，牛肉，羊肉，猪肉，火鸡肉，任你吃！
其实在KL已经有吃过一次了，可是到现在才发现原来都是同一料理。
刚开始吃的时候，什么肉都来者不拘，
吃到一个程度时，开始反胃了。
绝对不是食物的问题，问题是一次过吃太多
不能太贪心！

到Dempsey Hill 喝酒

朋友说，这个地方一定要来走走，喝喝东西，
它位于新加坡最贵的区域，
所以这里的餐厅酒廊都别具一格。
喜欢情调浪漫的朋友，这里是最佳选择。
的士司机有点年龄，对这个地方不熟悉，
结果把我们放在街口，要我们自己走路上山找找。
要不是趁机会找找，都不知道原来整个地方有这么多家餐厅及酒廊。

每一家，都很有情调！

在新加坡过圣诞真的能够感受到很浓郁的季节气氛，
但除了到街上走走，逛逛，这里都没有任何别的节目行程。
逛的地方除了商场，还是商场；
感觉跟在KL很像，但要是留心观察，就能看到一些别出心裁的个性小店，
会让人有眼前一亮的感觉；
哎，除了买东西都好像没什么好做了。

或许这些不重要吧，
因为我们常说，
只要有知心的伴侣朋友相随，
在哪里都不重要了。


愿你们也渡过了一个温馨的圣诞。
