I'm a SK-II fan . Small Changes

I got my first introductory set of SK-II about two months ago after i returned from the trip to Taiwan. I was quite skeptical to try it at first due to the comments that once stop using, the skin will be worse than before or some even say that this is a product for older skin. After much research and reading through reviews, i decided that i will give it a try.

Guess the result varies from individuals. 

Pardon the raw photo. Me without makeup. Two months since i have started using the Facial Treatment Essence, you can see from the photo that there's this glow from my face under lighting or even sunlight. Other than giving me glowing skin, i also observed the below:

- Helped other skin care products absorb better ( whitening lotion / acne cream )

- Skin is moisturized and less oily ( i have oily T-tones)

- Acnes heal faster and scar is much more lighter ( although it does not prevent acnes from forming )

- Waking up to smoother and softer skin everyday

Since the first bottle is almost finishing, went to replenish on Sunday. Persuaded Vin to try the men's version and so we got the His&Her set (S$392) because i think it's quite a good buy as compared to just purchasing the Facial Treatment Essence solely (S$233), also i became SK-II's member! Oh i even got the StemPower essence and lotion samples to try before i decide if i want it :D

I am loving my skin and this product even more! 

Before i end, these are the changes i have done for the new year. 

I am back to bangs, again and i took courage to shave off the arch of my brows for thick and straight Korean brows! Hope i look younger now! Haha!

This will be my last post of 2013.

There's many ups and downs and many first time. Although there's no breakthrough for my career but i still had a wonderful year.

Stay tuned for my first post in 2014 for my New Year's resolution, goals and also look back.

Good Bye 2013! Thank you for this unforgettable year, the memories will be kept forever!

Merry Christmas 2013!

One week before Christmas, went Singapore Night Safari with my family for the Mystica Wildlife Wonderland. Still cannot believe that mummy suggested this. Haha! 

Didn't have much photos as we forgot to charge the camera battery and it was raining that night so we only took one tram ride, plus NO flashlight allowed! We still had fun, nevertheless.

Two weeks before Christmas, went for a dinner gathering with my besties. Now i'm gonna reveal what I've given and received for the gift exchange. Still remember I blogged about the $20 budget? :D

Old school coasters (S$18.90) for the only guy in my group as he always have friends over at his house.

For my ladies, Etude House alphabet masks (S$19.90/box) in their own name! 

In exchange i got the following..

This was our first gift exchange despite being friends for about 13 years thus it was very fun, sweet and at the same time heartwarming.

I had a very memorable Christmas this year with my family and friends, will definitely be looking forward to more of these outing and gathering. (:

Movie Preview - Delivery Man

Won a pair of preview tickets from the Delivery Man contest via one of the advertisement on my blog two days before Christmas. So my program on Boxing Day was to watch Delivery Man!

It's a light-hearted movie showing about family bonds, support and love which i find it very heartwarming to watch especially during Christmas season.

This is the story of affable underachiever David Wozniak, whose mundane life is turned upside down when he finds out that he fathered 533 children through sperm donations he made twenty years earlier. In debt to the mob, rejected by his pregnant girlfriend, things couldn't look worse for David when he is hit with a lawsuit from 142 of the 533 twenty-somethings who want to know the identity of the donor. As David struggles to decide whether or not he should reveal his true identity, he embarks on a journey that leads him to discover not only his true self but the father he could become as well.

Delivery Man will be in cinemas on 1 Jan 2014.

Christmas Shopping

December has always been my favorite month because of Christmas! From the first weekend of December, there's Christmas sales every where and people are planning for Christmas dinners, parties and year end gatherings.  Due to early celebrations, we did our gift shopping last weekend. All presents are nicely wrapped and cards written! 

My first dinner and gift exchange will happen TONIGHT! Cannot wait to meet up with my besties!

There's always a budget when it comes to gift exchange in office or group gathering, nothing new this year. We still stick to $10/$20 per person rule. Inflation is one thing, but i surprisingly found nice gifts within the said budget.

Other than the usual mugs, photo frames, organizers, water bottle (like seriously?), towels or even handkerchief (?!) I found quite a lot of nice beauty/skincare products and thank God that majority of the receivers are ladies! 

You can see from the photo below that i shopped at Etude House. It is one of my favorite place when it comes to picking a gift. Been spending more than $100 on Christmas gift itself at Etude House for two consecutive years and so I signed up for their membership on Sunday.

I am ready for Christmas! Are you?! :D

Still I Miss You / All I've Ever Needed

Something really nice and soothing from  Infinite's ablum and Twilight Saga's OST.

Rest well everyone. Good Night!

Mark the dates for your favourite character or collect them all by end of this year!

3DS: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

I began on a new quest a week ago. I finally laid my hands on MH3! Now, i am aware that this is not a new game but I am a new 3DSXL owner! Heard many raving about it's game interface. True enough the graphic is remarkably good for a handheld console. The controls are a little awkward, there's no friendly fire (your guild mates can hit you and cause you damages during quests) and the bosses does not have health bar, but you will get use to all these. Overall a very good game!

Please pardon the ugly photos. It was a Whatsapp snapshot that i sent to Vin. I never thought that it will be use on one of my blog posts.

Anyway i am open to any 3DS games recommendation! Drop me a comment or email okay :D

[Edited] 

Alright i think you deserve better photos than the Whatsapp snapshots hence i retook the photos using my NX1000. It's always my room lighting that is hindering the photo shoot. FYI we bought the wrong light bulb and my room's light is in warm yellow (orange) now. Waiting for the filament to snap but somehow Philips' light bulbs can last pretty long. Sigh.
