This is why 2012 resolutions will come true!

half the time i dont bother writing resolutions, especially when i'll pretty much forget about them 2 weeks into the new year! But this year alot of activities are definitely gonna take place and i'm really, really sick of many reoccurring situations in 2011.

2011 April will be a period i'll never forget, I'm glad to say I've survived it.

And i've survived it alone. Ego didnt allow me to seek help or share the problems.

2011 April, be gone like the year.

So here's to motivating myself for the new year! Convinced my sis to chalk down our resolutions on our room wall! Sis from 2 years ago wouldnt agree to 'ruin' our walls, but now she actually agreed without hesitation! seems like church is doing her good =)

me, i've dl-ed an app that plays the buddhist sutra on repeat. 

lol, i didnt get my 'aunty' nickname for nothing.

Such happy & neon bright colors! =D

Okay i actually photoshopped a huge part of my resolutions off, it's personal heehee

i had to take this photo and tag fangyi, ernest and sara on FB.

MY SUPPOSED 21ST BD PRESENT!

& i'm turning 24 now =(

They've agreed to make it happen this 2012, HURRAY!!!

Looking forwarddddddddd!!! JULY JULY JULY!!!!

My old-sch ring from my mum kinda spoils the pic haha, but yea FIGHTING SISTA!!

i dont know whether to love or hate this.

sis set it as her new FB banner. FML.

lovelyyy colourssss!!!

Let's make this 2012 amazing!

Quick fix Powder Launch

This Ettusais Quick-fix Powder (Limited Edition)

was one of the first few product launches I experienced.
It was super duper cute i couldnt resist buying one for myself!
The response was so good it was SOLDOUT island-wide!

I think it was also my first press event with Ettusais.

We started off with meeting a few journalists at

Arteastiq @ Mandarin Gallery 

Team Ettusais decided to dress in bubbly-pink to match our product!

That's Carole, Ettusais Trainer 

i love the atmosphere in Arteastiq, been heading there for tea chats.

I'm a tea addict!

Afterwhich we headed off to visit all the other journalists at ACP, SPH and Mediacorp.

And gave them our customized quick-fix gloves after the presentation.

 my boss's skin is so flawless, i look so dark beside her =( 

Back to office to camwhore after a long day of press visit! haha!

This was the gift with purchase tt went along with the sale of the powder at Clementi BHG.

Photo taken by mua !

I'm also like Ettusais's part-time photographer lol 

From the latest update it seems like the quick fix powder is back in SG at the moment!

Not much coverage, but it keeps ur face really really matt.

I prefer it as a touch-up powder when e day gets oily!

White Day 3.14

Barely 2 mths into the job, it was lucky & timely for me to be involved with

Shiseido's main event of the year - WHITE DAY

 Pretty much to support n help Audrey through it =)
it was large-scale, huge budget pumped - AD at Orchard MRT, including the trains.





Had to prepare and pack doorgifts for the Press

The amazing setup for the 'Whitening Journey' right outside TANGS Orchard

Had makeup + hair styling + photo booth

& pretty ambassadors to pickout passerbys in white for our lucky draw!

We had more going on inside TANGS in the evening!

Guess who?

YES JOANNE PEH, MY OU-XIANG!

So pretty! <3

Our familiar bloggers were there to share some Q&A with the crowd

Yup even the beauty advisors were in white haha! 

Xavier was also involved, his job was to entertain Joanne Peh,

Lucky dude!

okay we both think we look really weird in white.

 i was more than happy to also be e stage usher HEEHEE!

Happy seeing my face with my ou xiang on Shiseido FB!

Audrey had this printed out for me LOL

HAHA this photo is EPIC!

That's our new MD Wada-San!
a MD who truely cares,

 i remember the late OT times where he'll pop by aud, sherie & my seat

to say goodbye to us before he knocks off. 

Team White Day =)

Aud & i with our boss.

Tiring, down to every single minor detail like balloons + bouquet customization, catering, overseeing the setup + event flow.. but great great feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day.

The job just got exciting for me!

***

My job wasnt fully desk-bound yet i put on so much weight!

Thank god i've gotten rid of it and i'm heading to the gym tmr,

still needa work on those bye-bye arms!

Liese Elegant Ash

after spending $100+ at the salon for my last hairdye, thought the change wasnt great.

not impressed, definitely not worth my $.

so i've decided it's DIY this time, darker colour so i dont hv to worry about the roots too often.

Liese, Elegant Ash.

Here's the before pic

and the after pic a week later

though not really even, but it works for that price.

i'll gladly pay for 2 boxes to make it even.

Tippling Club @ Dempsey

It's been awhile since i had an enjoyable dining experience.

Even if it's just for desserts, Tippling club @ dempsey hill blew me away!

everytime an item is presented to you,

 the friendly staff there would introduce the ingredients and inspirations behind it.

Much like a fine-dining concept.

but i've long forgotten most of it thks to my lousy memory!

anw, e white-ish liquid in the tube is actually potato.

interesting way to eat it.

this is not a dessert, it's curry.

the garnishing kinda killed it for me, think it's coriander or something =S

oh yes, i owe a big thank you to Eugene!

thanks to his connections there we got to try all of these for free =)

i asked for a recommendation to a sweet sweet alcoholic drink,

& they gave me apple pie.

haha! the packaging is so cool right?

& the best part is tt it is sweet. didnt feel cheated for once.

this is my FAVOURITE!

a dessert called dempsey hill.

the name says it all, it is inspired the the surroundings of dempsey hill.

i love the combi of the ingrdients used!

 there's pandan and kaya & premium dark choc in it.

this is my version of exquisite taste =P

<3

yoghurt & fruits? cant remember! hee.

but according to them this dish is actually very popular, ppl prefer it over 'dempsey hill'

WHY?!

this item totally got me listening.

whiskey coke.

i'm not kidding!

the white solid foam is actually whiskey placed in this special machine where all the moisture would be suck out to transform it to this state. AMAZING RIGHT!

& coke is the jello-like thingy in between of cos.

i'll like to have 10! imagine getting drunk with this! 

white choc tablets <3

some sort of fizzy sweet i'll nv bear to spend my $ on, but cool exp.

here's the interior of the restaurant.

it is extremely cozy, go on a weekday to have the place all to urself.

there were a couple more choc desserts but i didnt manage to take photos.

i'm not too sure about the price range, but according to Eugene he said if we're gonna go for dinner u'll be forking out about $150 - $250 per person for a 10 course food tasting.

rough guage in price? we paid about $60 for the two desserts below.

trust me u'll b happy to part w your $ =P
