Check out what's steaming up at Toastbox!

I was considered one of the fortunate few to be able to taste the new menu from Toastbox.

I am in awe of Toastbox's R&D team, they are constantly innovating and thinking of ways to improve their menu in terms of different flavours of bread.On

that single day itself, I tried the Peanut Butter Ice Cream Thi

ck Toast, Kopi Ice Cream Thick Toast and Kaya Ice Cream Thick Toast. Each flavour is made from the finest ingredients and unique to Toast Box. And not only that, you can select the flavours of ice-cream that you want. And what's best is that they have no added preservatives, artificial colouring & flavouring.

The kaya ice cream thick toast was one of my favourites. I am a big fan of kaya and ice-cream. Can you imagine having both of my favourites on a dish? It was absolute heaven!! I probably gonna order 3 kaya ice cream with the thick toast in one sittin

g! Absolute delicious and sedap!!

Besides this, I tried their Tom Yum Garlic Thick Toast, Butter Milk Thick Toast, Butter Sugar Thick Toast,Floss Thick Toast,Hebi Hiam Thick Toast,Otah Thick Toast

Moreover, they do it with a heart. From 1-31 July 2011, Toast Box will be donating $0.10 to a charity organisation (Abilities Beyond Limitations & Expectations) for every first 4 new products sold.

I especially loved the Mango Aloe Vera and not forgetting the Pepsi Calamansi. After gorging myself silly on the different new flavours,it was best to wash it down with a huge cup of Mango Aloe Vera. I felt so healthy on that day!

SPONSORED POST:SHINE YOUTH FESTIVAL 2011-"ENOUGH TALK,JUST DO!"

Youths have all the energy and talent to shine! But I didn't know that there were platforms for them to showcase their talents and expend their energy. With a catchy phrase like "Enough Talk,Just Do!" definitely hypes up all the excitement in anticipation for the upcoming Youth Day on 4 July 2011! I can definitely say I am proud to be a youth, with all the events lined up for the Shine Youth Festival on 2 July 2011, what more could one ask? There was a beatboxing workshop, DJ Koflow Turntable workshop.Blonco Singapura performing...Did someone say pillow fight?? I,myself, decided to take part in the "Once Upon A Milkshake" eating competition, made it to the semi-final by gulping down 3 scoops of vanilla ice-cream, only to drop out in the finals of eating a brownie and 2 scoops of vanilla ice-cream. It was indeed a fun-filled experience and I swore not to eat an ice-cream for at least a week.

A little background on Shine Youth Festival if you didn't know...it's in it 7th year and it featured a wide array of events such as a mega mascot parade, dance master classes, community service projects and a night concert with local and regional acts.

It was launched at *SCAPE in Orchard(and I am so glad that I was part of it) 4 levels at *SCAPE was transformed to hold 13 activities throughout the building which included a 1000 strong mascot parade from *SCAPE to Orchard Central, a launch concert at Playspace, the Singapore Street Festival's 10th Anniversary and an official chill-out corner by Kit Kat.

Youths was treated to a star-studded show filled with successful local acts like Derrick Hoh, Tay Kewei, JuzB and Jack & Rai.

It was definitely bigger and bolder and there was also COSMO Youth Mascot Parade 2011 whereby cosplayers of every genre from gaming, anime, manga, TV, movies will parade down Orchard Road to showcase their passion as well as raise funds for selected charities. The fantastic thing was that you can also try out more than 400 cosplay costumes to satisfy your fantasy.

The Beaver Movie Review

A successful businessman and loving father finds a unique means of coping with his mental illness in this drama from director Jodie Foster. When Walter Black (Mel Gibson) finds himself stuck in a downward spiral, the only solution is to separate from his wife, Meredith (Jodie Foster), and their two sons, Henry (Riley Thomas Stewart) and Porter (Anton Yelchin). Just as he nearly hits rock bottom, the discovery of a beat-up beaver hand puppet offers him a unique opportunity to pull himself back from the brink of death. By using The Beaver to speak with others, Walter develops the abilities to express the suppressed feelings that were slowly eating him away from the inside.

Earthkeeper-what does it mean to you?

I wanna be an Earthkeeper.

It's a bold statement and carries with a responsibility of caring for Mother Earth. Not everyone can be one and the search is on for the One.

Timberland created the term "Earthkeeper" As they put it, “Earth” means the place we live in and “keeper” means guardian. Some call it the environmentalist, a person who cares deeply about environmental issues concerning the Earth and wil do within their capability to protect the place they live in.

It is of vital importance that the action begins NOW...as I am typing away,do you know how many forests are being depleted?

Timberland is on the lookout for like-minded people which is why they are rounding up a team of Earthkeepers to be ambassadors and as they are an outdoor company that produces boots, shoes and accessories.

And I applaud them for being a company that cares for the Earth and want to do something about it.Besides carrying out regional measures and eco-friendly activities worldwide, they bear in mind to increase the usage of renewable energy as well as organic and recyclable materials in the production and transportation of our products.

This is an ASTOUNDING fact and I never knew till now that Timberland is the first company in the world to use recycled rubber from discarded tyres to manufacture the soles of our Earthkeepers shoes collection.

The best part is that 10 years ago, the company began one of its community service projects to support greening activities in China’s Horqin Desert that is situated in Inner Mongolia, through Japan based non-profit organisation —GreenNet.

What's their role? The once lush and green Horqin Pasture has given way to Horqin Desert due to excessive overgrazing and deforestation by humans.

What's Timberland's role in all this? With the hope that the place can be turned back into its former glory-lush green pastures. From April 2010, Timberland have planted 1 million trees, and are on a journey to plant a further 2 million trees! Talk about dedication! I simply salute them and support them in their endeavour!

I have decided to be an Earthkeeper, have you? Are you IN or out?

“Be a Timberland Earthkeeper and support desert greening in Horqin!” http://www.earthkeepers2011.com/sg/action_earthkeepers.aspx

As Timberland has its GREEN acronyms for corporate responsibility, I too have mine. From the acronyms, it will clearly depict why I deserve a trip to Horqin.

G
is for Gratitude. I am grateful to Mother Earth for providing me a place to live in and giving me trees so that we can co-exist with them. Just as the trees give us oxygen to live anf breathe, we give them carbon dioxide to make food for energy.

R
is for READY! I am ever ready to be called upon to do my part for Mother Earth anytime!

E

is for enthusiasm. Being a young adult, I am prepared to put on my boots and head to Horqin Desert to help in the efforts to restore to its former glory by planting trees and doing the community work.

E
is for educating others. If I get to go to Horqin, I am sure it will a mind-blowing experience and I will come back more equipped with more practical knowledge(I know in theory but practical experience beats theory anytime!) Everyone learns by doing!

N
is for natural. I am a lover of all thing nature and natural. I do not believe in man-made stuff. If you look back at history, how did people survive??

There you have it! My GREEN reasons...now it's up to you to choose. Am I your ideal choice?

LONDON BOULEVARD-MOVIE REVIEW

London Boulevard is about an ex-convict in London who by a twist of fate becomes the bodyguard of a reclusive actress.
A man of few words but handy with guns, Colin Farrell is perfectly cast as Mitchell.
He seems to want out of his old life but the past seems to be creeping up on him. Eventually he falls in love with the one he was supposed to protect.
If you are a fan of crime movie, you might enjoy it,however you might find 104 minutes is too draggy.
I would give the film 3 out of 5 popcorns. The only saving grace is Keira Knightley and Colin Farell. Enough said.

What exactly is IPL??

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology aimed at producing light of high intensity during a very short period of time. It involves specific lamps together with capacitors whose rapid discharge provides the high energy required.

It is method of hair removal from the body mostly commonly employed by medical practitioners or estheticians. It involves the use of a specially constructed xenon flash lamp and focusing optics.

Black Magic Treatment uses a formula specially created in Korea known as Photo Reborn Gel or Plasma Magic Gel. Unlike any conventional gel used in IPL treatments, it is black in colour instead of being clear.

Black Magic Treatment does not target pigments but insteads rejuvenates the skin by tightening pores and reducing sebum production.

The treatment has been proven to be safe as it is kept within energy levels.However, patients taking steroids or anti-cogulant drugs or experience tanning should avoid for at least 30 days.

Why should I win a pair of tickets to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides GALA PREMIERE

Can I just be honest and say it's because of JOHNNY DEPP...JOHNNY DEPP looks extremely hot with mascara!! Only he can carry off the look!


Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise — this time in Disney Digital 3D™.
Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love — or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past.
The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.

Movie Review-Hall Pass

Hall Pass is a 2011 comedy film produced and directed by the Farrelly brothers and co-written by them along with with Pete Jones. It features Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Stephen Merchant, Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate. Brief Synopsis:Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best buddies as well as their wives, Maggie (Jenna Fischer) and Grace (Christina Applegate). They are both unhappy with their dull,predictable and bland love life and missing the old days when they were single and had the freedom literally to do anything they wanted instead of being tied down with a family. When their wives each decided to give them a "Hall Pass"(A week off from marriage whereby they can do anything. They called along their friends Gary (Stephen Merchant), Flats (J.B. Smoove) and Hog Head (Larry Joe Campbell) to paint the town red while their wives, Maggie and Grace spend the week at Maggie's parents' house in Cape Cod, where Grace flirts with athlete Gerry (Tyler Hoechlin). My review: What do you do when your man checks out other women whenever you’re out with him? Or disinterested in you?Brush it all off and move on with life? No – you give him a hall pass. This is what happens in the movie and if you do not know what a hall pass is, it’s kind of like a “get out of jail free” card – only in this case it’s marriage. The recipient is granted one week off from marriage and is free to make his own decisions. When disheartened Maggie gives easily distracted husband Rick a hall pass, she thinks it’s a chance to save their marriage – once he gets it all out of his system he will finally come to his senses and realizes his folly of ways. His best friend Fred, who practically has a hall pass thrown at him by his wife,Grace. Instead of using the hall pass to its fullest,the first couple of nights is not spent trying to pick up women but hanging out with their three friends – a nerdy Brit, the token black guy, and a dim-witted slob. But their quest escalates when they hook up with Coakley. However, the problem with the movie,Hall Pass, is that while it peaks early, and the laughs are more in the first half of the film. The second half are mostly due to the fact that we spend increasingly more time with the wives, as they get up to no good at some beach resort.The moral of the story – the idea that a hall pass gives the men freedom without consequences, but the women are not obliged to stay true becomes rather heavy-handed and starts to work against the flow of the comedy but on the irony instead.

Spice Brasserie

As a Glitterati member, I get invites to the latest events,launches, activities and food tasting session.

Last Tuesday, I was one of the fortunate few bloggers who got the opportunity to taste one of the best Thai buffet spread ever.

It was at Spice Brasserie,Parkroyal Hotel,Kitchener Road. There was a wide spread of food and looking at all the food made me hungry! I was overwhelmed by all the choices and could not really decide on what to eat. There were Japanese sushi,Teochew porridge and of course Thai food(the tom yum soup was extremely spicy but was simply delicious!)

I enjoyed making my own Thai dessert and there was no limit to how much ice I could put or even the ingredients!

It offers all day dining in Singapore with more than just local and international delights. I am sure the Teochew Porridge buffet is popular with locals just as it was for me as it is a local favourite.

The interior is spacious and gives a cosy feel. It gives off an inviting presence for friends(like us bloggers) to gather over food and there is sufficient light coming through the windows as it allows couples to get cosy and comfortable with their booth seats by the windows. There are also two private dining rooms, perfect for hosting more intimate gatherings and wedding solemnisation events.

Spice Brasserie is located at Level 2 of Parkroyal H

otel,Kitchener Road.

Their operating hours are from 6.00 am to 10.30 pm and it seats 300 people. Reservations are recommended and you can contact them at 64283160.

Tell me,where can you get a hotel buffet in Singapore tha t offers over 60 selections ranging from signature dishes, sashimi and popular local delicacies,that leave you spoilt for choice like me. I had a hearty lunch that very afternoon and I am definitely not complaining as it was once of the best afternoon I had with the rest of the Glitterati members.

With an ultra-chic setting, Spice Brasserie is an ideal place to host celebrations and family gatherings with premium-quality food at a reasonable price.

Lunch : S$27.00 (Weekdays), S$29.00 (Weekends)

What comes to mind when you think of Thai buffet?

As a privilege as a Glitterati member, I get invited to events,food tasting session and so much more!

On a Tuesday weekday afternoon, a group of us gathered at Hotel Parkroyal,Kitchener Road.
To more precise, we met at Spice Brasserie! As it was a Tuesday,it was Thai buffet! Yummilicious!
Looking at the array of food,I was transported back to Thailand. There was pandan chicken,

AFX FASHION BLOGGER

Xinmsn.com has played a big part of my life. Ever since I discovered the channel whereby I can get news instantly,watch dramas that I missed and also....stand a chance to blog about the greatest fashion event happening in May-ASIA FASHION EXCHANGE!

Asia Fashion Exchange may have started in 2010 but I am definitely no stranger to it. I do know there will be key industry players in the fashion industry there(imagine being in the presence of such big players that play a huge role in fashion). Being a proud Singaporean,it would definitely be an honour that this keynote event is held in my home country.I will not only be an ambassador for the Asia Fashion Exchange but also for my country. I will do my utmost best to portray the event in the best light possible with captivating pictures.

It's an opportunity too good to be missed!

After the after-rush effect from the Men's Fashion Week held at Marina Bay Sands,I am definitely itching for more action and I am a closet journalist hiding behind a fashion blogger persona.

I have been told that I write well and able to bring stories to life. Not only that,also realized I have a flair for digging out juicy titbits about the subject. I will make sure I do a comprehensive coverage about the event, together with my Asian counterparts. I am sure it would be an experience of a lifetime.

If I do get selected, I will celebrate with a celebratory post in acknowledgement to xinmsn.com for providing me the tremendous opportunity of a lifetime. It may just catapult me nearer to my dream!

So enough said,PICK ME! Make my dream come true today!

My Hair Problem...

You wouldn't believe that as I was watching television last night, I started scratching the back of my head and realized tiny flakes of dandruff falling off. It was so itchy that I reached for my hairbrush and was trying to soothe my itchness to no avail. So I decided to head into the bathroom and take a shower and gave my hair a thorough scrub. I loaded up lots of shampoo in the hope of getting rid of the itch. My mum was shocked at the amount I poured on my scalp. It was about half the bottle. She suggested I seeked treatment but I was embarrassed. I can only detail it on my blog. Can Yun Nam Haircare help? Gosh,I think the itch is coming again! I know that “There are always solutions with Yun Nam”

"I want to win 3 sessions of Babor Facial by At Beauty Wellness!"

Do you know that your face is very important,ladies?
Taking care of our face is vital as everyday,we meet people and impressions count.

Therefore,at least once every month,ladies need to do a facial.Facials have been proven to deep clean, detoxify and balance the skin's metabolism. Not only that but doing facials help to minimize and refine pores, soften and improve skin texture and prevent the formation of wrinkles by impeding the aging process.

Ta-dah! Now you have the secret or rather not so secret to staying youthful. So rather than searching for the elixir of youth,just go for monthly facials,that would do the trick!

In addition to their beneficial effects, facials are also a relaxing, soothing form of self-care. Done by professionals, this creates a quiet time which not only affects the skin in a positive manner, but aids in stilling a busy mind for an over-all healing process. Through soothing massage, stress reduction occurs, relaxing the whole body. Professional facials are therapeutic for the mind, body and soul.

Like exercise for the face and neck, facials are an important delivery system for stimulating red blood cells. By utilizing micronized, highly concentrated ingredients available only to the professional, vital nutrients are absorbed into the cells which help encourage collagen production, a major component necessary for the skin's elasticity and strength. Skin circulation, lymphatic drainage and proper sebaceous secretion are improved, creating healthier skin.
Another important aspect is the exfoliation process. Unlike home treatments, more layers of dead skin cells are removed, exposing a fresh new surface. With this deeper exfoliation, cellular renewal becomes possible by penetrating active, concentrated ingredients into the skin where they are utilized on a deep cellular level that cannot be achieved with home skin care products.
The skin's condition is a reflection of the body's overall well being and a mirror to our lifestyle. To promote optimally healthy skin, we suggest a facial every four to six weeks. If a specific disorder or concern is being addressed, then plan a series of treatments with a follow up once a month. If facials are not currently a part of your overall lifestyle, then you may want to reward yourself with a little healthy pampering. You deserve it!

F&N Sparkling Drinks presents Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2

Vibrant, bold and colourful are 3 words that describe the 5 hours I spent watching the preliminaries of Singapoe Dance Delight Vol. 2 by F&N Sparkling Drinks.

I am a big fan of F&N Sparkling Drinks as they come in flavours like Outrageous Orange, Smashing Strawberry, Cool Ice Cream Soda, Groovy Grape, Flashy Fruitade, Cheeky Cherryade, Zesty Zappel and the latest addition to the range - 'F&N' Blazt. If only they came in such huge sizes like those I saw @Scape!





There were 1000+ youths gathered on 26th February 2011,Saturday,to catch 40 groups up from last year's 28 groups. The competition last year set the bar really high for this year's competition
Having been there and then myself, I would say there was certainly outrageous outfits, cool choreography and groovy dance routines. I felt like dancing to the music as the atmosphere @ Scape was simply contagious!
I truly felt like a reporter/journalist for the day as I experience horrible scares like almost tripping and falling flat on my face(that would be totally unglamourous) who knows, my picture might make headline of the day like "Blogger fell flat on face and had to be sent to hospital while dancers continue the competition."





I salute and have the utmost respect for all reporters and journalists alike. Imagine they have to be at the scene whether rain or shine and jostle with the crowd and position themselves at different angles to capture the best photographs of the event.

The rain almost marred the event as crew for the event patiently used cloth to wipe the stage and the cleaning motley crew was also called in to wipe the floor of the event venue. However, the spirits of the competitiors and 1000+ youths was very much effervescent as they cheered and screamed as they downed lots of F&N Sparkling Drinks that were available readily and F&N gave out wet wipes in cute mini keychain holders that you could attach to your bag. How thoughtful! These were the two most important items that a dancer needs-wet towels to wipe their sweat and drinks to hydrate after countless practices.

I want to step inside Johnnie Walker Jet Black

The brand "Johnnie Walker" with its tagline "Keep Walking" is being positioned on the concept of progress. The Striding Man logo was devised to convey the philosophy of the founder's belief that through perseverance, dreams can be realized. The brand is basing its positioning on the spirit of hardwork and perseverance and will appeal to the customers who adore those values.

As a young woman, I have the responsibility to use my strength and influence for good. I have been blessed with different talents and abilities.As I progress in life, I learn to recognize the abilities that I have and develop it for a greater purpose,to help others.

As a blogger, it is my desire to use my influence to encourage others to do good. With a bottle of "Johnnie Walker" in hand,I shall stride along with determination to overcome any obstacles that may come my way to achieve the dreams that I have set.

The campaign for Johnnie Walker's "Keep Walking" took the brand from a local player to a global icon. It began in 1999 and it has been 12 years and people resonate with its tagline "Keep Walking."

Therefore,it's my desire to catapult myself as a blogger to inspire others to progress and pay it forward. For one good turn definitely deserves another.

If you think you are a person who is always positive and moves forward and see your glass half-full, cheers and be sure to join the Johnnie Walker facebook page!

The Eastern Restaurant at Centrepoint,#01-57

You have not tried the one of the best custard buns and xiao long baos until you have been to Eastern Restaurant.

A day after I did food tasting at Eastern Restaurant,I received a call from a long-lost friend,asking: "How are you acquainted with Eastern Restaurant?"
My response: "I wished I discovered the gem of Eastern Restaurant earlier because they serve one of the best xiao long baos and their service is wonderful!"
To which my friend responded: "Ya, ya,I am their regular customer!"

Now, I found my long lost friend and a new meeting place for tea with her-The Eastern Restaurant.

For all those ladies out there who care for their skin, you must try their first and only "Collagen La-Mian" and best of all,the price of only $8.80.

Collagen gives you better skin and stronger bones and joints.
It's definitely a value meal-good for health and delicious!!
This is a definite must order that when I am out with friend.

Some of the dishes that I have tried and would recommend are:

1) The xiao long baos of course!! I could easily have 3 baskets of these
anytime.

2)Custard Buns-they are oozing with hot custard and once you pop one in your mouth,you simply cannot stop!









3)Fried Shanghai Rice Cake-one word will suffice-it's simply DELICIOUS!

Usually, I use BB creams from Korea so it was a refreshing change to a BB cream from Japan.

Kanebo Freshel Moist Lift BB Cream has the properties of moisturing lotion,beautifying liquid and sunscreen with light makeup to cover up small flaws which can be used right after your toner.

The cream is light and moisturizing and provides coverage when applied. However, the shade is a bit too yellowish for my skin type.

This Japanese BB cream is more suitable for fair-medium skin with yellow undertones.

“I AM NUMBER FOUR”

If the movie title is anything to go by,well then,I am Number 14.
Why? It's simply because my birthday's on 14 February and I am turning....well,let's not go into all that.

So why should I win a pair of tickets to the preview screening of "I am Number Four?"
It is my birthday! And what better way to spend it and Valentine's Day at the hottest cinema in town(Orchard Cineleisure) and with my Valentine on my birthday which also happens to be the loveliest day of the month of February(Valentine's Day).

Okay,besides this reason, the movie "I am Number Four" is indeed a compelling movie to watch!
It's about John, a normal teenager,just like you and I,who goes to school everyday except that he has superhuman powers and three have being killed and John is Number Four. And he also falls in love...ahh...sweet..as for the ending of the movie,you have to watch it yourself.

Catch the trailer here!

Oh ya,before I forget,catch "I Am Number Four Movie starting from 24^th February 2011 and join the official Disney Studios Singapore Facebook & Twitter page!” cos I did!

Happy Valentine's Day!

EAT, SHOP and PLAY at Hong Kah Point this Chinese New Year 2011

This is what I found out:A charming neighbourhood centre in Jurong West, Hong Kah Point consists of more than a 100 retail shops selling a wide variety of products from trendy fashion wear to electronic goods at delightful heartland prices. Set in a laid back and leisurely atmosphere, this is a wonderful place for those who would like to avoid the crowd and shop at their own leisurely pace.



Besides being popular among local residents, Hong Kah Point, which is famous for fruits, also attracts many visitors from all over Singapore every year. Come during June, when the tropical fruits season starts, and indulge your self in the wide variety of mouth-watering durians, mangosteens and sumptuous fruits here.

Besides the “Fruit Paradise” reputation, this place has also been lovingly named the “Chinatown of the West”. This is due to the bustling Chinese New Year Fair that Hong Kah Point holds annually. One of the largest New Year market in the west, residents look forward to this fair every year where they can soak in the lively festive mood and shop from a huge and wonderful range of New Year products and goodies available for sale.






This was what I experienced:I was one of the fortunate 8 bloggers to be given an opportunity to shop,eat and play at Hong Kah Point.

There were plenty to see and do at Hong Kah Point. I was wondering why I did not discover this "Little Chinatown in the West" sooner.

It was certainly a place whereby I could get all my Chinese New Year shopping done.

There was much to see and do. I could not wait to get started. First stop was to fill

my growling tummy and replenish my energy so that I could get started on my task to look for new year goodies to stock up.

Stallholders at Hong Kah Point were extremely friendly and was willing to make small talk and gave very informative tips on Hong Kah Point.

My partner in crime,Gin Wong, was equally excited. Although we only had a pair of hands, it was full of shopping for the day. We each bought not 1 but 2 pair of shoes for Chinese New Year as it was such a good bargain.

Chinese New Year couplets was definitely a much buy and they were going so cheap that I swear I could chart a whole box of them home.

I can boldly say that if you wish to get away from the crowds at Chinatown, come on down to Hong Kah Point to eat,shop and play! You will not know what you are missing. Moreover,if you are a karaoke fanatic,come down in the evenings with your family and sing your hearts away to Chinese New Year tunes.

I hereby wish all my readers and everyone a happy and prosperous Lunar New Year! May the Rabbit Year bring lots of cheer and joy!

A special thanks to Andrew Chow and the Hong Kah Shop Proprietors' Association for the wonderful opportunity to experience Hong Kah Point for the Chinese New Year.
