Three years later.....

Checking in three years later. How time flies and I am basically rooted here in shanghai with my husband, work and the new family member, little Ethelyn.

Little Ethelyn was born two years ago in Singapore and yours truly is a mum now. Lately I am deliberating on whether I should be a full time mom after all the stress, nonsense and political climate in my office. I wish life can be more simple when people work just for work and nothing else.

I am looking forward to every weekend where I can spent good time with my gal and also my family!

It's Saturday again! 

Guilty V Guilty

It has been almost 2 years since I last written.

V long. V V long.

And it doesn't help that I am living within the Great Wall of China and the lazy bone in me kept procrastinating to get the VPN. Not the money really, but I am just plain too lazy.

I heard Vox is no longer in existence thus I believe all my mails are washed down the drain along with the heavy rainway plaguing Singapore these few days!

Amusing MRT ride

After many rounds of invitation to my colleagues L's mother kampong place at the outskirt of Shanghai, I finally said yes.

Yes, because I feel very "paiseh" to decline so many times since the first invitation started last year. So this morning I left home at 12pm noon and head my way to the outskirt of Shanghai to experience the "laid back kampong lives" which is fast disappearing in the modern city of Shanghai. .

From my place, I have to take Line 2 to 四季大道( Si Ji Da Dao ) and change to Line 8 all the way to the end of the station 港城路。On my way there in Line 8, I was sitting across this young girl who was camwhoring all the way for the moment she got onto the train right to she got off.

At first, she didn't catch my attention but after awhile , she GOT my attention. Honestly, I am not the type to snap other people in open like *chee go pek* cos I am a strong believer of privacy but hey... she was doing it for almost 30 mins, adjusting the camera, holding it at different angles and so so oblivious to the rest of the commuters that I HAD to capture this prizeless moment.

Pic 1 - At first I was wondering why a girl is holding her hand so far out with her hp at this awkward angle. Then it dawn on me that she is camwhoring herself. This poses was repeated many times that I couldn't help but whip out my phone to snap.

Pic no 2, after several shots the girl would examine her own shots in her camera (PDA phone hor).

Pic 3 - Not happy with the effect? Take again. this time front shot. She took many shots at this angle, adjusting her face, her hair, checking her own phone. (I believe we past 2 stops while she was at it)

The previous pictures must have been to close for her, so thus she changed her hp position to taking a further shot and adjusting her hair. The man sitting on her far right was also staring at her throughout the whole journey, and I was also busy playing with phone and snapping away.

Though the ride was about an hour long, it didn't feel that way because, I was very entertained.

Clio picture

For chev who is curious. Taken with flash but than donno why my peach colour blusher turns out pink??

Will do the swatch when I have time later during weekend. Tried the retractable eyeliner today. So so only, cos it smudges abit at the lower lid at end of the day, but at the tag of 6000won, or S$7 thereabout, how to complain?

Recessionista, Who?

Came back very late today and can only post up part of my hauls from Seoul. I had a great time sightseeing, shopping shopping and shopping for skin care and cosmetics. I was so tempted to cart back the whole shop ! :p

Below are some pictures on part of my skincare hauls. I think I have bought enough masks to open up a shop!

The Skinfood and The Faceshop are so dirt cheap compared to Singapore or Shanghai! T caught on my shopping bug and contributed to the loot as well. How can we resist such the temptation?

Part of my Faceshop Hauls (Day 1 only)

Clio purchases (some bought on behalf of friend)but am guilty of half.

Will post up more pics of my loot later.

On holiday

Finally a chance to go travelling with T alone. No more W and no more inlaws! Yeah. I think this is one of the few rare times (except Phuket) that I go travelling alone with T. Yoohooo..

Tomorrow morning I will be visiting the land of the plastic surgeries.. Very excited now as I have never been to Korea before and doing it free and easy. Wish me luck in my trip!

Shopping shopping here I comes..

Finally a chance to let loose myself.

Love Shuffle

I promised I would blog about this drama and here it goes!

Love Shuffle is a Japanese drama about the love lives of 4 singles who lives at the top floor of a luxury apartment in Tokyo. One day, the lift stalled due to a power failure and trapped 4 of them inside. While waiting for the lift to work, each start sharing about their love lives and wondered whether there is a truly fated one out there. As a result, they came up with an idea of shuffling their partners every week to find out more about their feelings.



The show has the Tamaki Hiroshi 玉木宏 of Nodame Cantabile fame as one of the lead actors. The rest of cast 香里奈 (Karina), F4 Matsuda Shoda and Tanihara Shosuke as the 4 high flying neighbours.

I especially like the way they assemble at the common corridor to wait for each other after work, sipping wine and all while waiting. Plus their pajamas parties! How cool isn't it?



After watching I only wish I could this kind of life!

Thumbs up. I greatly recommend this show as this gives a new fresh perspective in love.

I am on my 3 re-runs now. LOL. Escape from reality = watch TV.
