The one thing that I practice religiously here – is applying lip balm.
With the cold chilly weather, my lips just go dry easily. Having in mind, I prepped myself with different lip balms to fight the dryness. But none of them is able to perform – I constantly find myself applying the balm every hour.
Although I’m here on my own, I still want my lips to look moisturized and highly kissable! Haha.
So, Ettusais is so sweet to send me the “Ultimate Kiss Kit”!
I was really excited as I have heard so much about Ettusais Lip Essence! Some of the ambassadors are great fans of it.
See what I’ve gotten -> the Lip Essence and the new Lip Essence (stick)!
Plus, the guide to using the ultimate kiss kit:
First up, take some refreshing sweets to freshen up the breath! You don’t want your target to smell what you had for lunch/dinner.
Follow on, apply Ettusais Lip Essence. I’m trying out the all new Lip Essence (stick)!
The usual Lip Essence comes in a tube with the gloss effect.
(psst. they have increased the amount from 8g to 10g!)
Whereas for the stick version, it gives a matte finishing and yet a rosy glow from beneath – super natural!
Our lips don’t produce sebum and have low natural moisturizing function as compared to our skin.
The secret to have pretty pink lips is good blood circulation!
Ettusais Lip Essences are made with an ingredient – glucosyl hesperidin, which helps to promote blood circulation, in turn giving us moisturized lips.
Hmm… I wonder if it helps by massaging my lips. Lol. I think I will save the trouble and just kiss more often.
Besides the moisturizing effect, the lip essences are also equipped with SPF 18 PA++ to fight out UV rays.
After moisturizing your lips, you need some target practice – Practice makes perfect! 
Hmmm…. I don’t fancy any of them though. i want Takashi. lol.
And now, you are all ready to find the hot guy and give a good smooch!
Too bad there isn’t any eye candy for me in the office.. awww….
But I’m glad that my lips are well-moisturized through the day! 
think I better get Kelvin to help me buy another set when he comes up to see me n 2 weeks’ time! (yay!)

my boss came to office with this big pack of red dates.
I have never seen such huge dates. They are bigger than my thumb!
I was never a red dates fan and where can you find red dates in Singapore? besides the ones for soups.
but these red dates are so delicious! huge and sweet, with no artificial flavouring/sweetener.
They are from this shop called – 好想你枣 (miss you very much dates). ahahah.. how interesting.
anyway, these red dates are not only nice, they are expensive too.
normal ones would usually cost 6-10rmb for 500g.
these dates are 138rmb for 1kg, which is the big packet that my boss bought. It contains 10 small packs.
i think i’ll just slowly savour the ones my boss bought.

I went to Tiffany&Co. this afternoon.
Picked up the wedding ring that was sent in for alternation.
But too bad, it wasn’t altered to my size.
I was there on an errand.

boss was so nice to give me 2 days off…
but i’m still receiving work emails and instructions. -_-”
————————————————-
my place is 80% done up. I like my little cosy hideout!
before makeover:
after spending a month’s pay:
(taken on the day I moved in, pardon for the messy bed!)
the decals were done by the previous tenants…
I see Betty Boop when I shower.
my lovely IKEA kitchen.
It’s really a headache to cook for just one share.
My 1st attempt in soups:
Ribs + Corn + Carrot + Melon. =)

pardon for the disappearance! I was away to Xiamen for work.
Been couped for a week in the hotel for the 4-days tradeshow event. Oh boy was it tiring.
Few hours after I landed in Xiamen, I went down to Ji Mei University with my colleagues to meet the undergrads that are helping out in the event.
I felt kinda weird since I’m like them, an undergrad. But of course, I couldn’t reveal my identity.
There was a welcome dinner cum fashion show, hence explains the stage setup:
This is one of the biggest hotel in Xiamen, with 1000+ rooms!
How wish the runway was mine to walk. 1m high, 24m long.
Looks good yeah?
My job was to helped out the fashion show coordination, take care of the models and students plus meals and some logistics. I felt like a mother of so many throughout the event. Lunch, Dinner, Snacks. Thank god for the nearby supermarket. I always come back with heaps of snacks.
This is the lunch box that I’ve gotten for every meal. It’s only 9rmb and it taste alright.
On the last day with the students, year1-4s. And yet they call me Jeanine姐. -_-”
My colleagues at extreme sides.

Hello everybody! – Greetings from the freezer!
I’m good in Shanghai. It’s been a really busy week for me.
Daytime at work, night time doing up my apartment.
Gotta get some necessities tomorrow and I should be ready to move in!
i’m kinda reluctant though. check out the 2 views below and you will know why.
1. my friend’s apartment view which i’m staying at now:
2. my own rented apartment:
luckily there’s Ikea to save the day. Went to shop for my place and spent 900rmb.
And of course, I wouldn’t miss out on the swedish meatballs!!!!
oh, did I mentioned it snowed lightly the other day?
but it was rain + snow, not really fantastic.
looking forward to a nice snowy day!

Zara plus H&M sales are driving me crazy!
Zara was 99rmb, 139rmb, 199rmb, 399rmb, 599rmb.
I bought a thick knit sweater dress for 139rmb – $29!
Then I headed to H&M which totally got me hooked for 2hours.
100rmb, 150rmb, 50%, etc.
I had the urged to pick up several pieces but i had to stay focus on getting an outerwear.
After browsing through the 4-storey H&M, I narrowed down my choices to 2.
First up, red hot fleece jacket. love the neckline details.
(pardon for the iPhone quality, the lighting made the red looked orange too.)
its going at 350rmb!
my 2nd option was this dark red trenchcoat.
I kinda liked it very much.
the only dislike was the pleats at the back – simply too much.
In the end, I did get the trenchcoat instead. It’s 300rmb – $62!
Well, the trenchcoat would be more in handy.
Only which I made my purchase, it struck me that I did took a liking to a red burgundy trenchcoat on H&M online sometime back. And after tracking back the post, I realised it’s the one i bought!!!
it’s been raining for 2 days. Freaking cold and wet.
i’m in serious need of some good effective winter clothings.
Somehow, all that I have are more suited for Autumn.
I will just have to layer up more i guess.
I was given an opportunity to shop freely. <– YES, someone will foot the bill.
but i refused.
am i stupid or what.

I’m staying with Prasith and Cyrielle for these few days and I really liked the apartment. But too bad, it’s not feasible to stay here for my whole internship.
I reckon the best place to live in, is next to the shopping mall that is near my office!
The shopping mall is so great – it has my favourite ChaMate and Papa John’s plus Uniqlo! There’s also a 2-storey supermarket and many other restuarants and retail spaces. Not to mention, Starbucks, Haagen Daz, Dairy Queen, Burger King, etc.
It’s a 10mins walk to office and 15mins walk to miao’s place in the opposite direction. *awesome*
However, given my budget, I can only afford the old apartments. And I insisted on the one just across the shopping mall~
They are all 6-storey buildings with NO lift.
My apartment will be at the 5th storey, a cosy 1-bedroom. Good daily workout for me.
So, my dear friends, if you’re planning to bunk in with me, please be mentally-prepared alright!

amidst our busy schedules, we managed to fix a date for our annual gift exchange plus meeting the new addition to Asmat’s family!
cute little adorable Aaliyah!
we all had our turns to carry her..
and of course, leng refuses to carry aaliyah.. lol.
Initially, i find aaliyah resembles very much of Asmat, but now, looking at the photographs, i think she really looks like Liana!
maybe I should photoshop Shobi into the picture.
the only photo with leng.
hey, maybe I should photoshop this photo instead!
Put shobi’s head over leng’s. LOL.
anyway, aaliyah’s expressions are kinda interesting and so, i added in her thoughts!

it’s frigg’in cold here.. -1 degrees.
the sudden gust of cold air blew me off when I stepped out of the airport. freaking cold!
anyway, i’m so glad that I swopped my blog to my own domain. I can blog freely!!! yay!
I’m supposed to go to the bank and also do some winter clothing shopping. But i’m so reluctant to step out of the house. Just going downstairs to get the topup card was already tortorous.
alright, on a side note, miao told me su zhen is pregnant!!!
OMG~ i’m so happy for them.
