my nike gym wear loots! i still paid quite a bit despite the staff discount.
*heart bleeds*
I had to buy because I didn’t bring any sports wear along to Shanghai.
& I need to exercise!!
hit the gym yesterday. it was impressive.
7 storeys – gym facilities, swimming pool, tennis court, badminton court, basketball court, etc.
people in the office are so sporty. Gym, Tennis, Swimming, Basketball, Badminton, Rock Climbing.
*alright jeanine, time to cut short those nails, tie up your hair, put on the shoes and lose those fats!*
tiffany & me
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.
working day off
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. =)
Xiamen Tradeshow
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.
apartment shopping
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! 
i wanna pinch your cheeks!
the casting
i walked into the client’s office this afternoon and they were casting for the upcoming fashion show.
i was mistaken as a casting model.
lol. not bad. i could do freelance here.
red alert
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.
new kid in the block
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!
miss aaliyah
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!
2nd night and i’ve surrendered to MacDonald’s. -_-”
was supposed to have dinner at miao’s place but I couldn’t get a cab. Stood by the roadside for 15mins and it was FREAKING cold with the wind blowing at me.
frozen fingers
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.
Ciao bella
I’m at the airport now. 1hour to my flight.
6hours to winter. It’s -1 degrees to 5 degrees tomorrow.
bye peeps! will update once I get the Internet and proxy server up.
toshi toshi-ba!
What’s your favourite?
Ooossshhh~ For me, I like it to be slim and light. The thinner, the better – would be great if it could feel like nothing.
And most importantly, the mechanism has to last – long lasting to keep me satisfied.
What were you thinking of!!!
I’m referring to the all new Toshiba Protégé Slim Series – T110 and TT130!
Measuring at only 3.24cm thickness, it spells a sleek and slim design weighing at 1.58kg for T110 and 1.76kg for T130. So much lighter than other laptops in the market! This is so cool man!
My current laptop is so bulky and heavy and short battery life. I hate it that I have to bring the adaptor out all the time, you know ALL THE TIME – adding more weight.
The Toshiba new Slim Series is like the perfect laptop – Up to 11 hours of battery life!!! I can leave my adaptor at home and travel light~ whheeee~
Of course, the new Slim Series have another attractive features installed too! Such as the Multi TouchPad with Gesture Support. (AWESOMENESS!)
I like the T130 series. Check it out below in my favourite Glossy Iron Red color – Outstanding and Bold.
The Ettusais Ambassadors had a chance to test out the laptop during our end-year dinner gathering.
Here’s Sheradine giving us an introduction:
Has the Toshiba Protégé new Slim Series caught your eye?
Here’s a chance for you to bring home the T130! Presenting….

Kawaii, Geisha, Ninja, Otaku, Samurai
I LOVE NINJA!!!
My red ninja with an innocent look. (To deceive people! Haahaha..)
This is the time-warped Tokyo City.
There are different challenges for you to complete and you can re-play them as many times as you want – to earn more points and up your level.
As I have mentioned earlier, you can stand a chance to win the T130 by playing the Tokyo Time Warp. The contest is open to residents of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore! There 100 prizes to be won for the top players of each counter! Every 100,000 points give you one chance! The higher your points, the more chances of you winning!

ahhhhh… The year has ended. 2009 has treated me very well in very way. And being an Ettusais Ambassador is like the icing on the cake.
The year long journey has been a fruitful one. I had no idea what was installed for me when I signed the papers back then. It all started with the purchase of the Whitening UV and I came to know about the ambassador program. Was jumping for joy when I received the notification from Iris.
And there, the clear bright skin journey began. Although it’s sometimes stressful with the entries datelines, but I’m more than willing to share my reviews with my readers! Acne and skin problems are always a pain in the ass.
If you have been following me for some time, you would know that my favorite product is the AC Skin Version Up! It replaces the toner and preps the skin to be able to fully absorb the goodness in your moisturizer. It’s also Ettusais Star Product!
My other top picks are the Eye Zone Tinted Color Essence, Medicated Acne Gentle Wash, Medicated Acne Gentle Make Off and Separate Mascara (Perfect).
Apart from skincare and makeup, the best deal has to be the friendships with the other girls! It is always so amazing on how occurrences bring people from different walk of life together.
Love you girls!
Love you Ettusais~ Merci Beaucoup!
