My Mother's Namesake

My mother's name is Shirley and I come across this blog that's written by Shirley. A little background about her.

Shirley realized her dream of being a flight attendant in 1987. Through various training, she has become a people person and through travelling, it brought her to various places that opened her eyes to diversity. Thus,she has developed a knack in sniffing out the best buys and bargains for shopping. . She had also been nominated for the IAPA Outstanding Service Award, intended for those special individuals who go above & beyond the “call of duty” in giving extra-special service, & who recognize the importance of the busy frequent flyer. However, her greatest pleasure lie in going for a family vacation. As Shirley says: “Wherever I go, I love indulging in the colour, the smell, the food, which is unique in each & every country, & above all, the people & their cultures. However, I do not like to be away for long. For me, there is no place like home, sweet home, my birthplace Singapore.”

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

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!

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 swear the dancersmade the routines look so easy that I almost contemplated signing up for O' School street dance classes right there and then!
The judges for that very fateful evening was Kenny Low,Founder, O' School, Ryan Tan, Creative Director, O' School and Hu Pei Zhen aka An An from Da' Street Soul (Funkamania 2006 Champions)
Thank you F&N Sparkling Drinks for being the presenting sponsor of Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2 and I had lots of fun at this competition that celebrates youth and dance!!

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.

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

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.

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.

Blackberry Bold Trial

I was fortunate enough to be selected by Ripplevox as one of the Blackberry Bold trial users. I enjoyed the whole process thoroughly. From the first day that I was given the handset at The Screening Room at Ann Siang Road, I immediately downloaded applications like Blackberry messenger, Facebook and not forgetting Twitter.
The Blackberry Bold trial came with an exclusive Starhub Premium data plan which meant that I had internet access whenever I go. Having Starhub’s premium data plan, I was able to access my email conveniently and whenever I needed to find a location, I could immediately search for it. Best of all, I was able to use social media like Facebook and Twitter to update my status wherever I go. With the Blackberry, I could take a photograph and upload without hassle. Although I have to admit that sometimes the loading of the webpages took some time, I had a tremendous time surfing on the go. I am truly enjoying the different functions of the Blackberry Bold. Now I am thinking I cannot do without a Blackberry Bold. The data plan simply makes having the handset sweeter.

Toy Story 3

I like the new Toy Story 3 character,Ken. I especially loved the scene whereby he saw Barbie and introduced himself. It reminded me of the day where I met my first love and set my eyes on himself. It was exactly the same feeling where everything around spins around and you only see the one and only person in front of you. You become totally oblivious to everything else.



“Catch Toy Story 3 Movie starting from 17th June 2010 and join the official Facebook and Twitter page!"
