Liese gives your hair a new look!

Sponsored Review

This isn't happening! I couldn't believe my luck:) Recently, i signed up for a challenge on facebook and to my surprise, i was one of the 100 lucky bloggers chosen to participate in this Liese Bloggers' Challenge! Wheeee! Saturated with happiness upon receiving this piece of good news from the samplestore.
The parcel was couriered right to my doorstep. (How efficient of samplestore to do so in less than two days' time!!) I was sponsored with 1 hair treatment + 1 hair styling product by them to test and review on.

Here's a zoom-in image of the two liese products sponsored by thesamplestore.
The blue one is the liese clear cube wax and the pinkish "spray" bottle is the liese juicy shower!

If you're one with frizzy and dry hair, fret not. Your problem can be solved now. Liese is here to your rescue. Ever since i started using this product one and a half weeks ago, I'm beginning to see better improvements to my hair. In particular to the liese juicy shower which helps to tame my frizzy hair. Initially there were damages done to my hair after frequent rebonding and dye. Even the normal conditioner itself which i've been applying all these while doesn't help much in taming my hair. However, after using liese juicy shower, it leaves my hair frizz-free over a longer period of time. With that i do not have to worry about having frizzy and dry hair during phototakings.

Another part which i like best about this juicy shower is that it gives off a pleasant berry scent when sprayed. Not only does it quenches my dry hair and smoothens my frizziness, my hair also becomes smoother overtime.

Have you guys ever tried styling your hair before? If i didn't remember wrongly, i did try styling my hair back in my younger teenage years purely out of fun. That was a few years back. After rebonding, i hardly even do so for fear of spoiling my hair since rebonded hair is already straight. When i was first introduced to liese clear cube wax, i had this impression that it is similar to those kind of wax outside whereby it's sticky and it makes your hair hard after applying so as to keep it in shape. I detest those gel and wax whereby they've a sticky feel after use and the worst part of it is if one were to style wrongly at first attempt, he/she will have to spend so much time to clear them off your hair. Liese clear cube wax is a different thing. It has a non-sticky feel which i like best about it. It is so easy to style and the wax helps to tame your hair by leaving it frizz-free and straight whole day. Not only that, it also gives off a fruity scented smell. With that, i wouldn't mind styling my hair every now and then.

Liese juicy shower and Liese clear cube wax are my best partners now. They're what which i really need now to help maintain my rebonded hair. Frizzy and dry hair, off you go!

Halt! This is not the end of the post because next up, i'm going to show you a step by step hair treatment and styling tutorial with regards to the usage of Liese juicy shower and Liese clear cube wax.

Post-"exam" celebration

It's been a long wait... it's been long since we last had a good meal together. Back in the past, we used to have good times after school whereby we'll proceed to the mall nearest to our school for a good lunch. This semester is so hectic and we hardly have any long breaks, let to say have a good meal at jp! On top of that, the pile of assignments is stacking up each day at the beginning of this semester. I'm almost suffocating from all these stress for the past few horrendous weeks. Looking on the brighter side, thankfully a test is now over and more assignments completed as time flies. This calls for a mini celebration after surviving through the ordeal!

With that, me and my uni clique went for a mini celebration at jp and pampered ourselves with good food to reward our hard works. We went back Ambush(One of our favourite eateries) and indulged in a sumptuous lunch. Finally some good relaxation time together:D i miss those fun days with them... (In particular to those addictive k-sessions)

i simply love my thai basil salmon, especially the salmon and sauce! It's really appetising! Probably during my next visit, i'll try out the bratwurst sausages! Looks appealing on my friend's plate! haha:)

Alright, just a quick post here! Tomorrow is going to be a long day in school. I need ample rest to keep myself awake in class. Goodnight world:)

That's for now.

Food Is Happiness

Everything with fries
Photobucket
In less than a week's time, i met up with that two besties of mine and this time round, we visited "Everything with fries" over at Holland Village for dinner. Have you heard of this western eatery before?:) "Everything with fries" is well-known for their sandwiches! Also, you've got to try their strawberry and nutella milkshake if you ever drop by this cafe restaurant!
Photobucket
This is how the eatery looks like. The inner decor of "Everything with fries" restaurant:)

A group of ACJC students were laughing away loudly among their own conversations in there. I find it rather disturbing at first. However, on second thought, their behaviour reminds me of the time when i was out with my drama peeps back in my jc life. we were once like them... Laughing uncontrollably in a cafe, not mindful of our own images. We're always the centre of attention and will be in the limelight whenever we gather together, haha! Frankly speaking, i miss those times badly...

Photobucket

Anyway, back on the food topic, this was ordered by sok. Her order was a pork chop sandwich meal with curry flavour fries as well as caesar salad.

Photobucket

As for me, i'm not totally new to "Everything with fries" for that day was my second visit there. I kept to my preference and ordered back the same meal which i ordered the first time. Mine is known as Tandoori chicken sandwich meal with sour cream & onion fries and caesar salad! I only had a change of fries from curry to sour cream. And the conclusion is: i prefer the curry one to the sour cream. Wk ordered the same sandwich meal as me but with a different flavour of fries(curry) and coleslaw instead. According to him, he preferred our caesar salad to his own coleslaw. Another vote from Sok! They mentioned that the caesar salad was crunchy! I'm not really a veggie lover though... In the end, the caesar salad went into my friend's mouth instead, haha!

As you can see from the above photos, it's rather a huge portion and definitely fulfilling and worth the price! If it is your first-time visit there, i will recommend you the tandoori chicken for i find that this is their speciality there.

i always love visiting Holland Village for there are many nice eateries there where one gets to savour varieties of food. Apart from this "everything with fries" cafe restaurant, there is also this stall(can't remember it's name) which sells yummy katong laksa and nasi lemak. Also, you can easily find a nice ambience cafe in holland village and chill in there. Speaking of all these, my mouth is drooling over these palatable delights! Food is happiness! tsktsk. At the same time, i'm anticipating the day after our test when me and my uni clique will have a mini celebration at jp. We ought to reward ourselves with good food for our hard works!

Way to go, peeps!!!

That's for now. Time to turn in for the night. Goodnight world!

we were all once young and had been through the six years of primary school education life, experiencing the joy of celebration during this yearly children's day occasion. 1st of October rings a bell in one's head for it's a special day which every child will look forward to. I admit i'm one of them back then. Saturated with happiness upon receiving children's day presents from respective class teachers. The excitement comes in when you're unwrapping your present, all ready to reveal the surprise gift in your pack. That was some years back since i last departed from this age group.

Well, there's a change of status now. i'm no longer the one receiving presents from teachers, but rather, a teacher who gives out presents. Frankly speaking, i have never expected myself to be a teacher one day and i'll be embarking on a new teaching career in the next few years down the road. The obstacles ahead are not visible at current but there are bound to be challenges. Since i've chosen this path, i am all ready to take on any challenges in future and work towards my goal in building a successful career. I hope i'll be able to meet my own expectations at the end of the day. Trust that it'll be a good experience thereafter.

Way to go!

Just look at the kids' happy faces. Kids are naive, innocent and they lead almost a carefree life every single day unlike adults. It's good to be young for it's stress-free during childhood life. We all once belonged to that age group and i believe you still remember how it feels like being a child.

Well, anw i'm still young at heart. (tsktsk) I'll not let my youthful years go to waste as there are still many more things awaiting me.

Hereby, i wish all my students a Happy Children's Day. Enjoy while it lasts.

That's for now.

Hang on there

Life has never get any better ever since the commencement of this semester. With increasing workloads each day, it's almost impossible for you to continue slacking any further. Unlike the previous semester when i almost led a carefree life in school, this semester is a huge difference. Year two's workloads are much more demanding and overwhelming. Worst still, the modules taken this semester have lots of contents for you to digest and before you knew it, report assignments, presentations are nearing datelines! How on earth can we have sufficient time to accomplish our tasks within such a short time frame?!? Seriously, this is not a good life.
Fast paced, stressful and hectic lifestyle.
This is part of our curriculum and there is no way we can avoid. No doubt the journey is going to get tougher, but we just have to hang on there and give one another the support. Things will be fine as you go on. I've just completed my first presentation for AED201 module. I think my group did ok for most of our audiences were engaged in our Amazing Race activity. On the flip side of the coin, there were also some flaws pointed out by one or two audiences which my group has overlooked. Seriously speaking, given the time constraint as we were the first group to present, it's kind of rush to complete everything perfectly within a week. I guess we did our best. Prof said he'll take into consideration we're the first group to present and maybe be a little more lenient. i hope so. Still, overall it was not too bad a start. Anddd finally one is down!

Amidst all these stress, i'll find my own ways to de-stress. You have to balance your life and not just spend your time solely on studying. i believe most of your out there will agree this fact with me. For myself, i'm always glad i have wonderful friends as companions on a weekend night. For once, i'll forget all my troubles and stress when with them.

Thank you guys♥

God bless all.

Bem vindo ao Nando's

Photobucket

Thankfully to this public holiday due to Hari Raya, it was another happening outing day with that two besties of mine. We sticked on to the plan of visiting Nando's restaurant for lunch. It was a first time visit to Nando's eatery for the three of us. All along i had this impression that Nando's eatery sells Indian food. I was wrong. In fact, they sell mexican food! Nando's restaurant is of high popularity in Bugis given the long queue. Wk was queueing for us while me and Sok went off to Iluma for a short while to get some koi bubble tea to quench our thirst.

After queueing for about 20minutes...

Photobucket

we finally got our seats!

Photobucket

Wk ordered a 1/4 chicken with two sidelines main course under the chicken meals section with an add-on soup. As you can see in the below photo, it definitely looks enticing for meat lover. Choice of sidelines to choose from are: peri peri chips, old style chips, Mediterranean rice, coleslaw, peri potato salad...etc.

Photobucket

Photobucket

As for me and Sok, we shared this Espetada Rustica under their signature dishes.

There are 4 pieces of chicken thighs stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and skewered with red onions, served with two sidelines. We chose the same two sidelines for both main courses. The peri peri chips and mediterranean rice. Looks tempting huh? Especially the four big pieces of juicy chicken thighs.

One can also choose from extra hot peri peri to hot peri peri to mild peri peri to lemon and herbs. And according to them, you should start with lemon and herb if it's your first time at Nando's, and go for mild peri peri if you're feeling adventurous or evoke tears of joy with Extra Hot Peri Peri. we went for the mild peri peri. We would say Nando's food have their own unique taste(sour spicy). It's more like a mexican dish as mentioned earlier with a piquant taste of strong spices. This wasn't so much to our liking. Perhaps we're just not used to this kind of taste. However, it was not bad a try!

Photobucket

After this filling lunch plus a hearty breakfast in the early morning, we went on to shop around Bugis. To be exact, i'm just accompanying my friend for some shoppings. I'm no longer that fascinated with shopping ever since i returned back from Bangkok. The reason being i've already bought most of my tops, bottoms from there at a cheappp price! No point shopping that often in Singapore now since the stuffs here are more costly. Furthermore, my wardrobe is almost full! I guess if time allows, i would love to return back bkk next year and bring home another bag of clothings to feed my wardrobe that will last for the next one year. Yearly shopping rather. tsktsk.
Anyway, back to my bugis trip. Despite we were all full, somehow we got tempted by Chewy Junior's and ended up having small quite bites of sugar sticks before heading back home.

we're cam-whores:)

If only time freezes at this moment.

New semester has commenced. It's once again the hectic and stressful school life whenever a new semester begins. This first part of year two is going to be a short semester. Time is tight, yet we have many tasks on hand to meet datelines. i shall endure. Freedom will be here in another 11 weeks's time.

That's for now.

weather is perfectly fine for a ride♥

The idea of going to the beach was long planned with them ever since couple of months ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't a feasible plan back then for we're all occupied with studies and work stuffs... Still we did not give up the idea of going to the beach for picnic cum cycling for we believe the plan will be successfully implemented one day.

Finally, on one fine Sunday, this beach plan was successfully carried out. It was kind of a random decision. All of a sudden, we came to a consensus the day before when we met up on our usual saturday's evening. Can't help it given our extemporaneous personalities by nature, haha! It was SO SO SO RANDOM!

However, the plan had to be postponed initially when it was raining cats and dogs on the Sunday's morning. As predicted over the weather forecast, Sok told us that it will be a straight 5 hours heavy rain islandwide. How true can the weather forecast prediction be?!

With that, we decided to change our beach plan to shopping instead. And now the problem comes in...Which good places in Singapore to shop? AMK Hub, Orchard, Bugis...etc. We didn't manage to reach a consensus for a suitable place to shop and chill-out and we simply just board the train and head down to the east... As the train moves on further down, we notice a change of weather. Sky was not overcast, black ominous clouds were no longer seen... The weather is getting more sunny. Weather should be fine for a ride, we thought. Most importantly, our cycling plan need not be postponed! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a whole load of fun despite cycling for only two hours at the beach. The weather was bright and sunny. It's unlike what was predicted over the weather forecast. Even heaven is on our side! We rented two different bikes, one of the normal single bike and another one was the double bike. We cycled in the wrong direction at first and upon coming to a dead end junction, we made a U-turn to the opposite direction for better scenic views:) It was a nice ride along the way. With Sok as my front cyclist on the double bike, i feel so safe seated behind while capturing snapshots of the captivating scenery along the way... And of course, wk hopped onto the single bike. After cycling for a short while, we stopped over at this Bedok Jetty and this was the place where we captured some nice photos together as a trio clique along with some fun jump shots!!! (Thank you photographer Sok for helping me and wk with those jump shots!)

It has been quite some time since we last had such a wonderful trio outing together. Though it's only few hours of fun, but we treasure those times spent with one another. Happy moments are always transient, but the memories that we once shared will always be there...

Cherish our friendship♥

Photobucket

Hope you've once again enjoyed my self-edited video!♥♥

i would love to go marina barrage for picnic some days too. I've long heard about this place and seen nice photos from friends' ablum as posted on facebook. I'm sure it'll be a nice place for a first time visit!

That's for now.
