Face / Off

I received terrible news from Shu Uemura counter. To my horror, my old trusted Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O shouldn't be used to clean on bare face.

I have always thought that since it is infused with anti-oxidants, it should be good for my skin, and I have been told that it is ok to use it on bare face, i.e. sans make-up.

Better not lah, cos bare face no make-up mah.. and Cleansing Oil is quite strong. Its used to wash away make-up. Unless your skin can take it lah..

Now then you tell me. *FAINT*

Quickly make a phonecall to Ah Fat.

No, I don't use on bare face. I only use to wash off my make-up. You mean YOU DO??

HUH! Die lah. I have been using it forever leh. Shit, must buy two cleansers now. One for bare face, and another for made-up face. Fark.

So in the end after one round of counter hopping, I've decided to choose between Ipsa and SKII.

Since I'm in the mood of switching stuff, I've decided to go with Ipsa. Oh, by the way, I'm a big fan of Japanese products when it comes to skincare. But soon I think I'd like to move on to organic skincare. But that's another story.

So here is what I bought home...


In the morning, use Cleansing Milky Foam on dry or wet hands; just 1 pump, lather well and wash off!

Surprisingly, it smells REALLY GOOD!!! I love it! It has my favourite scent. Bergamot. My happy scent. Heh. And it really left my skin feeling soft and smooth. Yummy...

In the evening, use Cleansing Super Moisture Oil on dry hands; 2 pumps, massage onto skin and wash off!

It melted away my make-up quite easily. Then again, by the end of the day, my make-up is usually gone. Maybe the real test will come when I do my Captain Sparrow's Look again.

For now, I get to double cleanse using my milky cleanser.

So happy!

New Benefit

Check out my latest make-up collection!

I got abit tired of my peach blusher and have been thinking of getting a pink one. So this is what I got from CK Tangs today...




Rose-Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain
Dot a little of Benefit's popular rose-coloured cheek tint onto the apples of your cheeks and blend with fingertips. Add a few more dots for a deeper color. It is so natural, you look like you're blushinng from the inside out. It's the sexiest flush you can get from a bottle.

Ooh.. blush from inside out? Like after a work out? I can fake this look...

You can apply onto your cheeks, lips and NIPPLES too. Says the helpful assistant.

Nipples???

Yes.

Oh..kay..

And you should add this after Benetint...

Luminescent Complexion Enhancer
The Makeup artist's secret for a healthy glow. This satiny pink highlighter is perfertly ehereal on all skin tones.
How to use: Dot and blend over makeup on to cheek and brow bones, or anywhere you want a glance to linger.

Hmmm... I can live with longer glances.

You can dab this over your cheekbones, or as an enhancer just below your eyebrows to give it abit of shimmer.

Ahh.. so pretty. How much for both?

Benetint is $65; High Beam is $46.

Gulp. Any free gift?

Hur-hur...no lah, Benefit all along no free gift. Now don't have, next time also don't have.

Hur-hur. Yeah, I know lah...

Buy both lah. Can mix them together or use on its own. Its our best-sellers...

*Take deep breath,

Ok, I'll take both of them!

*Sucka sucka sucka....





Tira-miss-u

Taa-daa!!!
Check out the bakings with my si-beh on colleagues/ ex-colleague.

So Char Siew Pow did it again! 1 box full of fresh hot curry chicken buns and 1 pound of Tiramisu cake.

SQ Boy

I have to talk about him. Cos it has been bugging me the moment I woke up this morning.

I can't believe I actually dreamt of him last night. I mean, I havent given him much thought till I briefly asked the lao zha bohs last Saturday how life for me would have been if I were still with him. And I hardly ever dream. I mean come on, a girl's gotta have her beauty sleep right?Dream? Dream on baby.

The thing is, it was a very VIVID dream. How on earth did he ended up being my neighbor? And why is he marrying this fat indonesian chinese girl? Is it because he wants to stop flying and be a house husband?? And why did he talk to me? Why do I remember this dream? Why why why???

I actually wanted to sms him this morning to ask how was he. Then I decided against it. What's the point right? The last time we messaged was eons ago. And it was about clubbing. So stupid.

So how now? I think I'll drink the rest of the Honey Choya and go to sleep lah. And snuggle my Fatboy.

Who Moved My Cheese...Cake?

I did it! I can BAKE!!!
Thanks to my si-beh on colleagues, I actually went for a baking class with them. Purples and Cooking Girl did a brownie last Friday and got me very intrigued. I mean, the only brownie I know how to bake is Betty Crocker. And thats child's play right? But these two energizer bunnies actually made a brownie from scratch. Amazing.

So when Cooking Girl mentioned this week is gonna be Cheese Swirl Cake with Truffle Filling, I thought - hey, it'll be quite cool to learn how to do that. So me and G girl signed up with them and this is what I got after 3 hour of labour pains...






See the chocolate swirl on top of the cake? I made it. Very artistic hor?


And I also popped these out of the oven...


Not only could I bake, I could make bread as well! These little round pows is called Traditional Soft Bun. And they are very soft and yummy..

So in case you are wondering where did I go and learn all these? Its at this baking school call Phoon Huat. Go check it out!

Slumber Tea Party

Weekend was one of the best this year. Me and the bunch of lao zha bohs celebrated the end of 1st half of the year with zest and finnesse. Ha, actually, we did a session of hardcore pigging-out. Its amazing how much junk our tummy can stomach. We started from few strings of oily bak kwa bacon strips to half a kilo of golden coins, to Prima Deli yummy chicken pies, to assorted potato chips, to curry puffs and not forgetting stuffing our face with these preeeety little things.


Have always wanted to try C-cup and finally found the perfect occasion to place my order!

And it goes absolutely well with yummy Honey Choya + Soda/ Green Tea/ Tonic. It was great fun sitting around with my lao zha bohs, sipping our relax Choya and catch up on the latest gossips. Ahh... Princess Bobo even wished we had cuban cigars. Just like the big boys, eh?

What struck me was we could just sit and sip the entire evening without realising it was way past dinner time. At times we would talk about random stuff like... jogging? (yikes!) And then Terminal AA would suddenly blurt out on her forty six year old suitor (bet with him for Rolex plsssss).. and Russian Fat Cat recalled how she nearly drowned at white water rafting (no more ODAC for u for now).. and P. BoBo would shock us with tales of her eat-where-you-shit colleagues. My little contribution was updates on my latest buys from People's Park. Amongst others.

The time spent was fantastic! It was as good as therapy. No, BETTER. Only old friends can thon with each other from 4pm to 4am trying to get pissed drunk (but didn't) and talk rot. Well, I did wake up with a hangover due to lack of sleep the next morning. But it was one of the best weekends with the girls. And I know what we'll be doing when we are way into our 80's. And it sure ain't gonna be knitting, ladies. We'll upgrade to Brandy next time k? Just like the real boys.

Sons of Ipswich

This one is my latest collection. His name is Steven Strait. I saw him last night. On DVD. Very cute. Very very cute. Si beh cute...

Fatboy and I did our usual and rented DVDs over the weekend. I wasn't keen at all when he picked The Covenant out from the shelves. Anyways, so we watched the DVD last night and here's the synopsis of the story.

To the students of the Spenser Academy, the Sons of Ipswich are the baddest boys on campus. But that's not all they share. The four friends also share a 300 year old secret: they're warlocks, the teenage descendants of a 17th century coven of witches. So when the long-banished fifth son suddenly appears and threatens to kill their loved ones, they realize they must face their enemy in order to prevent him from stealing their powers and shattering THE COVENANT forever.

Sounded like a B-flick to me. I imagined it to be like a bunch of ACS boys flaunting their old money/ power, then came a disgruntled St Pat's boy and then their fight began. Of course, throw in a few 'IJ girls and bit of cat fight when a new hot chick transferred from a neighbourhood school to this exclusive institution. Then this neighbourhood school chic started dating this ACS boy who also happens to be the leader of the brat pack. This boy here, looks like this..


As Caleb in The Covenant...


As himself..and I highly recommend to check him out in The Covenant- when he is taking a dip in his swimming trunks. Ha.

How? How? How? He is only 21 years old. TWENTY ONE is bloody young lor. And guess what? He is 1.88m tall. That is farking tall lah! And he has soft brown eyes. Mm-hmm. And his voice is deep and luscious, almost velvet-like.

He sounds delicious, doesn't he? Think I'll watch him again this Saturday with the girls. But chop, he is mine ok?

When Hamburger Strikes...

I really need to start on my NO dinner diet soon. I want to look like those freakin mannequins. I want to be a size ZERO. I want. I want. I want.

But how?! When my Fatboy loves to cook up a storm in the kitchen. And boy, when my Fatboy cooks.. he COOKS.


This is dinner for TWO by the way..*burp

Can somebody please call the Hamburglar? This is the 2nd time I'm having TWO burgers for dinner.

Its bur-gur-licious darling, absolutely yumster! But I don't want to grow an extra stomach out of this.


Ruffles & Ribbons

Ta-daa! I'm back! After MIA for quite awhile, I've decided to blog about something that got me really excited 3 weeks back. It's a sleeveless top with plenty of ruffles to challenge Elizabeth from Pirates of the Caribbean and a cute little black pencil skirt with 1 whole row of round buttons. Only problem is, I'm a bloody freakin "L"!!!!!!! Knnbccb... But what got me buying the whole ensemble from Open Up at Far East Plaza was actually the Golden Belt with a big fat Ribbon! It looked absolutely fan-ta-bu-lous on the oh-so-skinny mannequin. I gotta have it. The whole damn set.





See.. gorgeous isnt it?




Now see this....err.. maybe I'll do more justice to this set after few more rounds of Amore.

Sweet Tooth

Today is a greedy day.

Me and Purples had lunch with J+G at Ume Ume Ramen and we had a set which came with a chawanmushi, miso soup and dessert. Yummy. Or maybe I was really hungry cos I skipped coffee this morning.

When we went back to office, we were busy doing our own thing, googling other stuff, reading other blogger's blog - basically non work related, cos it Friday!!! Kekekeke..

Then I told Purples I had to go back to my derma's office to get back my credit card which I left behind. So I left. Then I stopped and called Purples, from across the street.

" Eh, I'm not going lah. Lets go BreadTalk!" I chirped happily.

"Ok, where are you? Meet you at traffic light." She replied sleepily.

As we skipped into BreadTalk, rows and rows of pastries were winking at us. I really couldn't decide between a Sugared Doughnut or a Chocolate Croissant. Doughnut? Crossiant? Doughnut??

It was a tough decision.

So Purples said " How about take the both of them and we SHARE?"

What a brilliant idea!

So I used the tongs and clipped the PUFFIEST doughnut I could spot, gave it a little drag to pick up more bits of sugar and happily dumped it on my tray. I did the same to the chocolate croissant. I chose the FATTEST one with extra chocolate crumbs dangling at the side. So happy!

So, here is what we ate for Tea today. And we were not even hungry.


Just greedy.

Maiden Voyage

I have been asking my friends whether they have any blogs for me to read- cos I was damm bored in the office. And also because I kept reading and re-reading my pals same ol' blogs. Dont get me wrong, all of them write pretty well. Russian Fat Cat is still with the Tsar in Russia, Twinkielife boogied to the Mambo and Princess Bobo just washed her hair. Oh, and Purples is happily Liberated. Damn.

Then I pursuaded Terminal AA to start a blog so that I have something to read and she did! Yippee! To reciparocate her kind gesture, I told her I would start a blog too.

Hence, the birth of Dandy Candy- a portal for me to indulge in my latest buys, creating my own fashion spreads and wax lyrical about my favourite beauty products.

Hope you'll like it.
