Waist Tonic (345/365)


If i wasn't looking for a red picture of the day, this would never have caught my attention and awareness. Like I would be wondering why do we need to give our waist tonic and strengthen it?

Huiji Waist Tonic is made according to an ancient Chinese formula that has been refined through modern scientific research. Made from a traditional recipe, passed down for generations, Huiji Waist Tonic is an excellent health tonic that is mild in nature and fragrant in scent. Huiji Waist Tonic, unlike her competitors, is the only tonic in market, which is 100% vegetarian, with no added alcohol and cane sugar. As such, breastfeeding mums, children above 7 years old and individuals allergic to alcohol can safely enjoy this tonic without worry. Taken daily, the tonic can improve blood circulation, strengthen the body and waist, relieve body-aches and numbness, as well as stimulate the mind. With its host of benefits, Huiji is ideal for the entire family.

Ahh... now we know why.

traveller

if you follow my posts closely, you probably would be able to know me pretty well, my likes and dislikes. there are that few topics that I keep blogging about and one of that being travelling!

well I love travelling and wish I had a job that allows me to travel the world. yah did consider the possibility of applying to be a cabin crew but I don't think I'm cut out to be one. not pretty. not patient, not bimbo enough. my current dream job is to be a travel show host but well, I have no idea how to go about fulfilling it. maybe a miracle might happen when I wake up one day and i land myself in this job *dreams*

I've been wanting to start a travel blog for the longest time but well as with all of stuff, I'm always lazy! and I procrastinate. hmm maybe after project 365 ceases, I shall consider!

Mr Wang Wang (344/365)


If you are familiar with him much, you are probably in the same generation as i am. In my younger days, i adore him. i love his biscuits. all his products. That time, Mr Wang Wang was still simple, just a few kinds of biscuits. But gradually, he came out with more products, such as the milk that you see above. And then they lose me. Yes, i don't like milk so when i see he has milk products, i also sian half.

anyway, i don't know if the kids now know him or even like his products.

cmpb again!

we headed to cmpb again today, specially for the band playing there! we really like the singer after our first time there a few months back. so after checking that she still sings there, we headed back there tonight!

a rowdy group probably having their company's Christmas dinner at the venue almost ruined the night for us. they were so noisy and uncultured, totally spoiling the atmosphere of the place!

so glad they left in the middle of the 2nd set! peace at last! and as expected, the band didnt disappoint! I really like them! :) Amanda's got a really unique voice! but we were a little upset she didn't sing our dedication of skinny love! oh wells.

nonetheless a great night out with my girls!

year end festive

so it's that time of the year again. the happy year end season is here! and like what my partner says, this is the season for us! red and green is the theme for this season!!

so enjoy the festive people!

Asquare Kitchen (343/365)


A local fusion bistro that the boy and i popped into on a saturday night. i do love exploring such quirky small cosy bistros with the boy, but we were a tad overdressed that day and i much rather eat at some slightly more atas place. And furthermore, the choices of this bistro was limited and they cooked their food only when we order so they took quite a bit of time. I wasn't too patient with it because when i pooped in the this place, i was really hungry already.

But still, a good night out.

Diva's BFF series (342/365)


While helping the boy buy his office Christmas Exchange gift, i noticed Diva has a BFF series. Like necklaces that come in twos. One for each best buds. Among all, i liked this but the partner of this blog says she don't. Oh well, we have very different taste to begin with. I just thought that it is cool to have a best bud kind of accessories, instead of the normal couple kind.

yes, i'm that easily sold sometimes.

Milk Sippy

during a random cold storage shopping trip, my sister and I chanced upon this product. it's like a choc-filled straw. so use it to drink your milk or milo or whatever beverage through this straw, the chocolate will dissolve in the beverage as you sip it up the straw.

well my greedy sister likes this kind of snacks so we bought it to try. it's not bad and I think it's pretty novel. I'm sure little kids will love this!

Happy meal (341/365)


i love happy meals from macs because of the toy really. and over the years, i brought alot of such toys home, only to collect dust when i display it out. I was forced to throw away alot of them during each time spring cleaning.

now, happy meals are so much more versatile. we can choose the 3 items we want. like mix and match. my current favourite combo will be nuggets, and that is cos i don't eat cheese, so no cheeseburger for me, corn cup( my new favourite thing) and ice milo. All for 4.20. and that is my lunch. sometimes for the sides, i will choose their apple sliced. it is very nice but maybe not so worth it. We can get a full apple for half the cost macs is selling us for.

Buitoni Pizza

got to try some samples of Buitoni pizza and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste! I'm not a big fan of frozen or ready to make food (ok excluding instant noodles). and for frozen pizzas that I've eaten before, it normally has this weird artificial aftertaste.

so of course when I was preparing this pizza for dinner, I had relatively low expectations. I just wanted to fill my stomach and since it was free anyway. but as I said, I was pleasantly surprised, the pizza tasted so good!! the mozzarella cheese melted nicely and the pizza dough was not too hard like some other freshly made pizza.

my sister loved it too and was asking for more! too bad I only brought back one sample. I'm definitely going to buy Buitoni pizza when they are available in stores!!

A friend in red (340/365)


She was so bright when i met her today that i requested for her to be my picture of the day. Of course, i have to protect her identity so just the shirt.

this silly girl went bangkok recently and bought 20 tee-shirt. She only wears tee-shirts and she went extreme and bought 20 pieces on the first day of the trip and then relaxed for the whole trip and just eat non stop. maybe that explains this picture.... if you know what i mean.

2nd night in a row

yes consecutive 2 nights of working the 2nd shift at night. been having the planogram rollouts for these 2 nights. tiring! :(

and again I took the opportunity to sneak pictures of green display in the supermarket. I think huggies diapers just changed their packaging and look. I don't remember huggies being associated with this kind of green. hmm, green doesn't seem like a colour I'll associate with diapers though..looks like a battery brand though..

ok, back to shelvings :(

Happy birthday! (339/365)


I went to baby Cole's first month bday. He is my colleague's baby boy, whom i helped to name. Secretly, i'm darn proud of this fact. Anyway, i watched my colleague from being pregnant all the way until her delivery. So i kinda watched and was there while cole developed and grew. Too bad, Cole was asleep the whole time we were there, couldn't get to play with him. Never mind, babies grow up fast. He should be up and hopping, laughing and talking soon. Time flies.

night shift in Giant

it's another late night at the supermarket again. so here's a picture of a product display in Giant Vivocity.

its the festive period and you can see the retail space is very competitive with all the different brands trying to dress up their bays to grab the attention of the shopper as well as win a share of their wallets.

sigh, working the night shifts does make me angsty and depressed :(

Something red came in the mail (338/365)


I wanted to show the whole red envelope but i realised to protect the privacy of the recipient (obviously not me). Anyway, i love receiving mails!and especially if it comes in such red envelope. But my happiness died shortly after i opened. Nothing special, just some bank promotions and offers. But still, the won me over with their red envelope already. And no, i am not taking a picture to flaunt my nails but they are pretty aren't they!! haha

drink up!

drink more water! it's good for your health and complexion! I realized my friends who have very good complexion all drink alot of water so I must cultivate the habit of drinking up! I am such a camel at times, especially when I'm at home, I don't drink enough water!

oh and I hate eateries that charge for water!! how expensive can giving complimentary water from the tap! besides we pay for service charge!

A spread of Nonya food (337/365)



And we end the trip with a spread of Nonya food. As you can see, this whole Melaka trip was all about food. It's like a mini food trail. The sad thing is that we didn't have our own transport or we could travel further to eat more goodies. This is what going to malaysia means. food and more food. If i can, i would plan a food trail in malaysia. Penang Laksa, char kway teow, chicken rice from Melaka etc.

anyway, peranakan food is not as spicy as i thought it would be. but the use alot of different spices to make the food smell very good. one good meal i had!! *burps*

Selfish Gene Cafe

met up with my excolleagues for brunch at this cafe on this beautiful Sunday. and i like this cafe! cosy and serves good food! it's hidden in a corner along Craig road, near outram mrt.

concept of the cafe is similar to alot of such cafes sprouting up in tanjong pagar and tiong bahru. but I like this cafe more than the likes of strangers reunion, forty hands etc cos its less commercialized, hence lesser crowd. so u can really enjoy the brunch on a comfortable setting :)

nice catch up as always with like minded friends :) the 3 of us shared 2 mains - the popular breakfast platter which was really worth it! and a ham & cheese sandwich. don't be deceived by the simple boring ham & cheese sandwich. this is somehow taste really good! the cheese was heavenly.. I will definitely come back to visit again!

my first DnD!

it's been 8 years since my jc prom and that was also the first and last time I really dolled up. today was another opportunity for me to dress up and look pretty! the saying, 'there's no ugly women, only lazy ones' is so true!!!

I really happy with my look to night! :) I'm glad I decided to dress up cos everyone was so glamorously dressed! to think I was afraid that doing my hair and makeup was abit too much! now I'm really thankful I decided to be elaborate!

the dnd was held at rws and the theme was red and/or black. what a boring theme eh? was quite afraid of wearing the same stuff as somebody else but good I didn't see anyone wearing the same outfit. we had Michelle Chong guest starring as Cinderella and she was hilarious! I love her mans! a pity her performance was really short but she had us in stitches!

it was a pretty nice experience and the food was surprisingly good! Had a good time tonight! ;)

Jonker Street at Melaka (336/365)


Here i am at the tourist place of meleka-- Jonker Street, And you can recognise it by this huge 三叔公. This place is a place where you buy back all the local products and also try the famous durian chendol. Jonker is a street, opened air and all. And today's sun is REALLY hot. I would have enjoyed myself if i wasn't burning and sticky all over. But this is a street full of heritage. I won't mind going back melaka, but not with the whole extended family. =/
