REAL STEEL





So well, I tried playing Reveal the Steel Missions online on http://www.facebook.com/RealSteelSingapore?sk=app_179719842102108

It was not easy...I tell you.

I was able to uncover Charlie Kenton's past, was knocked out in WRB(World Robots Boxing- out of 5 questions, I only got 3 right.I tried in vain to train Atom(he's one stubborn robot) and finally gave up on finding Atom to train.

In total, I got 2200 points(in my case,I think it's a worthy effort). If you think you can beat the score and aim for a minimum 5000 points.


There will be a draw conducted to pick the winner among all who have successfully competed Reveal The Steel missions with more than 5000 points.


And the prize is a set of Real Steel figurines and a Real Steel WRB Main Event Ring play set!



The top 30 players with the highest points will enter into a draw and 15 players will be selected for glory and awarded with an exclusive Real Steel movie premiums pack. The prize includes a Real Steel movie premiums and a pair of complimentary movie passe









Oh yeah, one more important thing, you have to catch the movie, Real Steel!! 




It not only stars the dashing Hugh Jackman. The graphics were amazing and Atom, the Robot, was given so much life that I cheered him just like any other hero! This is not just any other movie about robots, it also tells a heartwarming story of a father-son relationship.

Dakota Goyo, the actor that played Max Kenton, was chosen from thousands of actors and you will see why. He not only “steels” the movie, but he “steels” my heart!

The movie, Real Steel, will steel your hearts on October 6th!

Sensodyne Part 2





A week after, we were invited again to do the chill test. I did not feel any pain anymore. I was able to eat hot and cold stuff without worry. I did not fathom why my situation has improved. Then I check out the Sensodyne website and this
was what I found:
As I had used my Sensodyne Repair and Protect toothpaste twice a day and regularly.

New Sensodyne® Repair & Protect uses an advanced technology called NOVAMINTM to seek out and help repair tiny holes in your teeth. These tiny holes are the vulnerable areas that are responsible for occasional twinges that are a sign of tooth sensitivity.Be sure to check out the website for the free sample!

Under the protective tooth enamel is dentine, a porous structure consisting of millions of tiny channels called tubules. Dentine can become exposed through recession of the gums or through erosion, or a combination of both. Exposed dentine creates vulnerable and sensitive areas of the tooth. That’s the source of tooth twinges.

Sensodyne Part 1



I was part of a privileged group of bloggers called Nuffnang Glitterati. 10 of us were invited to do a Chill Test.

Although I was not the first to go, I was a bit apprehensive because I fear for my teeth. I always get slight pain whenever I take something cold.

Finally, it came to my turn for the test. We were given a cup of hot tea and a cup of ice-cream.
I nonchalantly picked up the cup of tea and drank it. No effect. However, when I ate the cup of ice-cream, I felt a sharp pain in my teeth. I could not finish the whole cup of ice-cream.

I am supposed to come back a week later to do the chill test again after using Sensodyne Repair and Protect Toothpaste. Let see what happens then...

A Spy is never a real Spy without a Spy name


My Spy name would be Fast and Furious!! Why? I simply love the movie,Cars!! I aim to be fast and furious in my work like an F1 car and I cannot wait to watch Cars 2!
Hmm,whom should I bring? My car fanatic friend?? My best friend who is into cars!

Here's the synopsis of the movie:

Star race car Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and his best friend, the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy), jump start a new adventure to exotic lands stretching across the globe in “Cars 2.”

The duo are joined by a hometown pit crew from Radiator Springs when they head overseas for the first-ever World Grand Prix, a race to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and bombshells when Mater is mistakenly ensnared in an intriguing escapade of his own: international espionage.

Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).

Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan, Italy, France and England, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colourful new cast of cars, boats, trains and airplanes— complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.

HENRY'S CRIME-MOVIE REVIEW


I found the movie absolutely hilarious and too good to be true! But nevertheless,it sure entertained me with eye candy like Keanu Reeves.The movie teaches one certain values, like for instance, we may be drifting along life aimlessly without any purpose. We often need the wake up call to jolt us back to reality.

As a toll collector, Henry (Keanu Reeves) is a man seemingly without ambition, dreams or purpose. One day,he gets his wakeup call when all of a sudden, he becomes an unwitting participant in an ill-conceived bank heist. Rather than give up the names of the real culprits, Henry takes the fall and goes to jail. In jail, he befriends Max
(James Caan), a con artist who is so used to life in jail that he wants to just stay there.However, he helps Henry find his purpose and dream. Upon his release from jail. Henry finally finds his purpose. Having done the time, he decides he may as well do the crime. While chancing upon a tunnel passage through the theatre, he would be able to get to the vault.He finally manages to convince Max to file for his long overdue parole -- and then recruits his former cellmate to help stage a robbery. What happens? That's for you to find out. Just a little secret: Henry eventually finds his love of his life!

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.
You have got to check this website out: http://www.breadtalk.com/toastbox/promotions.php

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!

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.

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.

Does it stick?


I was invited by Mr Ang Tian Teck to a Sticky Presentations workshop held at Chris' Tea House at Upper Paya Lebar Road on 10 May 2011.















I went there with little expectations, thinking it would be just another workshop but no, I was totally blown away.






The workshop offers some useful tips from the layman to the professional on presentation, I am very sure every participant on that day benefitted greatly because I did.








I learned that stats presentation can be interesting and animated and you can make a presentation come alive using less words but more pictures because as the saying goes "A picture paints a thousand words."




I was very tempted to sign up on the spot for the upcoming iPad workshop but I did not have an iPad...

The Sticky Presentations workshop is highly recommended to people from all professions who need a boost to their dreary and usual presentation.

For those who are interested to know more, do visit this website: http://www.stickyspy.com/ and do not forget to check out the book in stores. Psst, I heard that there's a discount if you were to purchase the book at the workshop,so why not sign up for the workshop and get the book? I am sure the audience you present to would be amazed by the unique presentations that are done by you after the workshop.

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. Rating:3 out of 5 popcorn

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


I have a dream-to be able to be to blog about Asia Fashion Exchange.


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!
