Chinese New Year 2007


we celebrated Chinese New Year this year in France together with the other Singaporeans and
French in one of the hangers at the squadron.  It was really quite enjoyable and elaborate, alot of 
hard work was put in to make this celebration a success.  We had sharks' fin soup, a cold platter which even had seasoned jellyfish, sambal prawns, yu sheng and other yummy dishes.  There was also a lion dance troup performing for us before the dinner and firecrackers lit up to welcome the New year.  

Last Saturday we gathered at Johnny and LeeLee's place for a reunion dinner.  There was an elaborate spread for the steamboat and I made yu sheng.  After we had our fill from the scrumptious dinner, the guys started playing blackjack till 2 plus in the morning.  The "party" then continued with mahjong till 8am the next day. Hahaha!

On Monday we drove to San Sebastian for a day trip together with LeeLee and Johnny.  Did quite abit of shopping and walking.  Thank goodness not all the shops close during the afternoon siesta.  

This Saturday we shall be celebrating "ren ri" over at our place.  Till then, enjoy the photos and video which I've just uploaded.

A Happy Chinese New Year from Japan! Your little Nyx is very cute. She was born in the year of the dog, wasn't she? Me too. I am 12 years older than Nyx. I will be happy if you come to my blog.

Meridian Facelift at Body Inc.

Image
Nothing beats getting a pampering session done at the end of a long workday. But if it’s one that gives you a face-lifting effect, I think that right about makes it one of the best ways to end the day! I had the chance to receive this pampering treatment at Body Inc. where we were also introduced to the line of products used and carried by the brand. Within their product line is the Happy Series blended oils which are specially formulated using natural and organic remedies.  I got to use the Happy Lash blended oil which not only  removes eye makeup effectively, but after using the oil for the past few days I can actually feel how it doesn’t dry my skin like regular makeup remover does, and it nourishes my skin at the same time. What’s even better about this oil that is rich in Vitamin A, E and Omega-3 is how it also promotes lash and eyebrows growth!  Jacelyn demonstrating the use of the Happy Lash blended oil. Can’t get enough of this blended oil that’s so good for my lashes and brows

My Sculptra Journey with Halley Medical Aesthetics: Final Review (Fourth Visit)

Image
  Since the start of my Sculptra treatment at Halley Medical Aesthetics till the final review with Dr. Terence Tan , I must say I’m very impressed and the results exceeded my expectations. I should point out that I initially didn’t expect much work to be done and was just happy where I was. But the fact is, we don’t know what we don’t know. And that’s why there are experts right? Just like how I’d tell my clients and students that the aches and pains that they feel every day is not normal although they tell themselves that its part and parcel of getting old. I now appreciate so much of what Dr. Terence Tan pointed out to me the first time I stepped in for the first consultation. Because looking at the pictures from my final review months after I did the treatment, I was really blown away (in a good way) with the results. Take a look at where I started and the end result now. I think the images speak for themselves. Before Treatment             After Treatment My jawline is noticeabl

The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - Third Visit

Laser Treatment with IDS Clinic  Isn't it true? When we see an improvement to our skin over time we can get into the mindset that its good enough and that's the routine that we need to stick to. Contrary to that, our skin is constantly ageing and taking longer to regenerate as we get older. So once in awhile, a little something different can help us potentially see more improvements.  I've never been one for lasers before, and my first time experiencing it was with IDS Clinic this year. Yes I'm in my 40s already and why haven't I tried it you might ask? Well, I'm a chicken when it comes to having laser treatments on my face. Maybe its the scary stories I've heard from the time I was younger, but yeah, that's really the main reason why I never tried it before. Till Dr. Ian Tan from IDS Clinic recommended it as my treatment on my third visit here.  Quite honestly I was a little scared and skeptical, but he assured that it would not be uncomfortable. So
