Lunch with Stephie yesterday. Then it was spa party at Evelyn’s place!
It’s so awesome to have a car to drive. I could just dump everything I need in the car boot. Morning: Photo shoot. Afternoon: Lunch, Spa Party. Evening: Check emails, work on design, write articles, edit photos. That is like 4 bags altogether: camera bag, personal bag, laptop bag, and stuff for spa party. Even with a cab, I might just die carrying those bags around for the entire day.
Anyway, I came across a thought provoking quote recently. It serves as a gentle reminder in every aspects of my life. I believe that dreams and goals are achievable when we break it down into tidbits sizes and work on the baby steps everyday. So this quote relates to me in many ways and most of all, it also reminds me not to procrastinate on the small yet important things.
I’ve been a closet K-pop lover after I grew out of the cutesy and whiney J-pop period. K-pop reeks of sex and edge in general; and their women are hotter – plastic surgery or not. Unlike the Japanese who tend to portray their girls in a submissive light, the female stars from Korea tend to look a lot more dominating. They are versatile and confident; they can be sexy and cute. And that’s really hot to me. (Hey, I’m not writing out all Japanese girls here. I love my Aki Hoshino very much.)
Anyway, I have been contemplating of getting suture blepharoplasty aka double eyelid surgery (stitching technique) recently. The idea of having a pair of bigger and sparkly eyes entices me very much. I don’t know about you, but I’m always open to discuss about cosmetic surgery/dentistry and aesthetics. A little tweak does make a whole lot of difference – like getting the teeth straightened, whitened, exercising to keep in shape, dressing up and wearing make up. Looking good makes me feel good too. However, I’m not motivated to get my eyes done at this point of time.
I don’t stick double eyelid stickers nor apply eye glue to create folds when I wear make up. Neither do I photoshop my eyes to make them larger than life. So cosmetic temptations aside, I actually like what I’m born with. I think it is pretty cool and cute. And if I really chose to do my eyelids one day, I’ll definitely go for something that suits me and not some crazy transformation to get a pair of huge manga eyes.
Incidentally, I stumbled upon Son Ga In’s music video on YouTube last night. I didn’t know about her until I saw the video. She’s the lead with the shortest hair. Her face looks kinda andro. So that is an additional point to the total hotness!!
I only knew about Jillian Michaels when I was looking for an exercise app on my iPhone LAST NIGHT. I’m the last girl on this planet who had just discovered Jillian Michaels!! (Clearly, I don’t watch The Biggest Loser.)
I’m not sure if I’m ogling or observing her movements in the exercise videos but she definitely has so much charisma! My latest crush came just in time because I want to have a hotter bod. I’m sure you know of slim or skinny people who never worked out. Sure, they are “lucky” to be able to eat whatever they want, without having to burn off those calories. Being slim or skinny is generally envied by many who are fatter – but I do not think it is an excuse to be lazy and take what you have for granted.
Even though I’m blessed with a slim body, I’m fully aware that if I do not cultivate a habit work out, the gravity is gonna make me look awful eventually. Moreover, exercise is good for my body. (Don’t get suck into the photoshop culture. You’ll only be living in an illusion.)
I used to wakeboard twice a week, 5 years ago. My bod was at its best then; and till today, it remains as my favourite sports even though I don’t have time for it anymore. So instead of just reminiscing those glorious days (haha), I want to make my body look even better. I’ve been doing hot yoga and pilates for the last few months, but I haven’t been a regular. Not good. I want to intensify it. I work out at home too.
WTB:
1. Exercise Mats
2. Dumbbells (for ladies)
Where is a good place to buy them without spending too much?
HOT BOD! HERE I COME!!!!!
End note: FYI, I’m not trying to look like Jillian Michaels. I’m so gonna look like Jillian Michaels one day.
Fact: I’ve been living in this neighbourhood for almost a decade, but I’ve never check out this charming little Italian restaurant before. All my exes suck. (Haha! Kidding.)
You’ll find yourself in a different world when you enter Porta Porta.
Having travelled to Verona and Venice in Italy, the ambience of Porta Porta sent me back to the great times in Italy where I can easily find a romantic place for meals.
I had the House Menu set with unexpectedly awesome house wine. That red wine (along with the food) has the ability to send you straight to sex after your dinner date. I didn’t go for the Fai Te (special chef’s menu), $55+ per head, as the waitress warned us that the serving is for the “very very very hungry”.
The house wine costs more than the House Menu set. Wine: $75+ House Set: $40+.
Porta Porta is a great place for romantic dates. I enjoyed my dinner immensely (having a great company completed it). The food wasn’t mind blowing, but it was good. My favourite course would be the spaghetti alle vongole (seafood). It makes me wanna go back again and have it ala carte. You’ll be paying for the overall experience. And if there is anything more I could ask for, it would be dimming of the existing lights, having candle lights on each table and better service. E.g. be greeted with a friendly smile and be warm like an Italian! I believe that this is a family business.
Ambience ★★★★☆ Food ★★★☆☆ Service ★★★☆☆ Value for Money ★★★☆☆
Price Range Be prepared to pay $150 onwards for a dinner date.
Filled with good vibes and friendly creatives, Camp Pong is the first ever pop-up ping pong bar in Singapore. This is the first project by Present Purpose, the brainchild of Tracy Philips. She has helped shape South East Asia’s nightlife, music and popular culture landscape for more than a decade. To put it simply, Tracy is awesome. As for Camp Pong, I absolutely love this place! I can have my beer, space out to good music, meet new people, smack ping pong, play beer pong, and even ping pong roulette, without having to worry how well I play.
