I was wondering where you were! Hehe... <br /><br />Ok I shall summarise my reply in point form:<br /><br />- Charmaine is currently in Singapore.<br />- You have a parrot? Does it talk?<br />- Haha... it sounds so cute how you love chasing after lizards!<br />- I agree with you on bb cream. They’re either to white or too grey for me. That’s why when I found that this Dr Young’s BB cream from Sasa matches my tone, I was quite thrilled.<br />- Yeah I think my hair more or less always turns out the same too. Maybe next time we shall cut really short!<br />- I dunno how much that burberry outfit is but if I find an inspired ruched dress that fits like a T, I would definitely buy.<br />- LoL. What do you mean when you say the chinese character look so friendly? Oh do you speak Taiwanese hokkien? I know that Taiwanese Hokkien is very different from our Hokkien.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-76555117718415643922011-03-15T14:12:42.650+08:002011-03-15T14:12:42.650+08:00I was starting to wonder how I managed to miss so ...I was starting to wonder how I managed to miss so many posts then I realized... these must be posted while i was on my mini hiatus! lol. <br /><br />haha even though you said the standard of the food seemed to have dropped, they didn't fail to make my mouth water XD I hope Charmaine's treatment goes well in NYC. <br /><br />I totally can understand when you call ur bil's cat "that stupid cat" XD i used to call my parrot that all the time, in a very affectionate manner of course *wide grin* OMG I salute that lizard! how did it manage to cling onto a moving car O__o I used to love looking at/chasing after lizards until one day this lizard's tail break in half as it was running away TOT I was like... *stopped dead in my tracks* I... wasn't... trying to eat you T__________T<br /><br />Lol for some reason I'm never into BB creams... I have no idea why... maybe because the ones I've tried so far either are too dark on me or too pale. lol your hair is like my hair! I really think the way the stylists cut it matters cuz with good stylists, my hair doesn't curl that badly. Oh I forgot to reply to your comment about my hair, I KNOW XD somehow all haircuts end up looking the same on me -__- if my stylist didn't tell me she was giving me an A-line cut I wouldn't have known either XD hahahahaha. Even if I get straight bangs when they grow out it looks just like my old self. Maybe I have to go for something drastic O_O+ <br /><br />I can totally see you rocking that Burberry outfit :D hehe you gonna buy? <br /><br />Never heard of the song but oohhh the chinese characters look so friendly! I think it's really cute you have romanji written above the characters lololololol :PFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076627219891417809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-72845301267606479802011-03-10T15:40:08.501+08:002011-03-10T15:40:08.501+08:00Yes, BB cream is definitely targeted at fair skinn...Yes, BB cream is definitely targeted at fair skinned ladies!

Ahh I know what you mean about the bb creams - my friend is a lot tanner than me and she has a lot of difficulty in finding a bb cream that matches her shade. It seems most of the bb creams are targeted towards fair skinned gals. This is my first time hearing of Dr Young brand, but it sounds really good! It took many many months of using my skinfood bb before I noticed any lightening of my skin :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198796158143619283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-50825133746239760682011-03-06T01:50:49.391+08:002011-03-06T01:50:49.391+08:00Good to see you back, Rick!

The Marriott in Singapore is still going strong. We almost chose this hotel to hold our wedding banquet coz we were so impressed by their good service. I guess I got a little too spoilt. I’ve been checking out many buffet places here that I guess my expectations got higher. The hubby always says I’m picky but when it comes to home-cooked food, I eat anything coz I love food cooked from the heart.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-72985275146440513922011-03-06T01:42:11.088+08:002011-03-06T01:42:11.088+08:00Wow, you had a busy month!
I understand your MIL,...Wow, you had a busy month!<br /><br />I understand your MIL, she figures she has what she needs and would rather her kids save their money. Dinner out was a great idea. The Marriott food looked good, sorry it wasn't as good as it looked. We had a similar problem here. Marriott used to run these great little restaurants, but eh food started to decline...now they're all closed. I think maybe the best present is a hug--and it has to last at least 10 seconds to be considered a real hug! :P<br /><br />Char is always such a cutie and in such a good mood. I hope she's feeling well these days.Ricademushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347446705678305814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-9139003508824047162011-03-06T01:22:47.604+08:002011-03-06T01:22:47.604+08:00LoLz!

Not like a different tone for face, arms, legs, body or else then not with ugly uneven strap lines. I love my yummy tan when I came back from Maldives but it’s difficult to find a foundation that match my darker face skin tone. I continued using Dr Young BB cream and I looked overly made up at that time. However after a few weeks, my face becomes a lot lighter and it’s not just the coverage, it has indeed lightened! Facial whitening products don’t even deliver such fast results as this bb cream!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-52795100248232547752011-03-05T08:05:32.045+08:002011-03-05T08:05:32.045+08:00Yeah it's really annoying when my face is 2 sh...Yeah it's really annoying when my face is 2 shades lighter than my arms! My body is like all different sorts of shades - my legs are the worst because they only see sun 4 months a year lol. I hear that papaya soap and exfoliating with a Korean Italy towel is really good for smoothing the skin and lightening (since you are essentially rubbing your tan off)! I think I might try the towel :P<br /><br />And I'll let you know if I ever manage to stick to using the serum for the whole 28 days hahaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198796158143619283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-59185593181210581352011-03-05T00:38:57.751+08:002011-03-05T00:38:57.751+08:00Rinny,

My face used to be a lot tanner than my body and no matter what whitening products I use, the skin is still tanned. I should have discovered bb cream long ago. But I wished it would just stay the way it is now and not get too many tones away from my limbs. <br /><br />If you happen to use the lash serum for 28 days, let me know ya?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-1207210833956502352011-03-04T06:03:12.274+08:002011-03-04T06:03:12.274+08:00Ahh so many great photos!

It's really sad to see kids in the hospital - they should be outside playing and having fun, not stuck in a hospital bed :/ I really hope she gets better soon :) <br /><br />Nice haul from Sasa! I have that problem too with my face being lighter now because of all the BB creams I've been using. I've been trying to exfoliate my arms lately so I can at least lighten them somewhat to match my face lol. I have the Loreal lash serum, but the packaging looks a bit different. I haven't been able to use it for the full 28 days, so no idea if it works. The 2 weeks I used it for though, my lashes did look a bit stronger and didn't seem to fall out as easily when removing my eye makeup. <br /><br />And your hair looks really good now after the rebonding! It looks very sleek and straight now :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198796158143619283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-6783277440861389712011-03-04T03:05:56.465+08:002011-03-04T03:05:56.465+08:00Nelah,

I’ve read your reply on your page and would be commenting back in a while. =)<br /><br />~~~~<br /><br />Nicole✗✗,<br /><br />Thanx for visiting, leaving me some love here and for following. I hope there is SASA where you are right now coz they really carry a range of great products. <br /><br />~~~~<br /><br />Kym,<br /><br />Thanx for leaving a sweet comment here and sharing with me about your mum and her unworn gifts. Hehe...<br /> <br />~~~~<br /><br />Squeeze the Pug,<br /><br />Aww... thank u dear. You’re always so sweet.<br /><br />OIC, thanx for sharing the details. I initially had the impression that you travel to and from Malaysia and UK frequently and wondered why didn’t you settle down at the country you are working in. Now it’s all clear now, that coincidentally you were in Malaysia the past 2 weeks and now you’re back in UK. <br /><br />I hope you’ve slept your jetlag away!<br /><br />~~~~<br /><br />Joey,<br /><br />Thanx for all your lovely notes in point forms. Hehe... Never knew comments could come in bite-sized bits. It’s really easy to digest. *LoLz*<br /> <br />The thing about lizards is people who hate them really hate them and their disgusting bodies, eyes etc. Haha... For me, I’ll pick a lizard over a cockroach any time. <br />Sometimes if you look at a lizard’s face, it’s really cute. Ok do I sound strange?<br /><br />~~~~<br /><br />seranadeveryday,<br /><br />WAH! Is this your longest comment ever? I love to read long long comments. What I like about you is you disappear for a long time and then you come back with so many lovely words. Hee... I can see you are barely half awake! =D<br /><br />I think I took about 2 hours to write it to coordinate with the pictures. However I did the photo editing and uploading, resizing all over a few nights while surfing. Yeah, sometimes blogging really zaps up lots of time but I’m always pleased at the finished results. That’s why I’m always incredibly SLOW coz I’m usually doing all blog-related stuff during my insomniac period. =D<br /><br />Bite-sized point form from here onwards:<br />- I thought everything in the States is huge? *puzzled* I could not finish lots of my food over there.<br />- Thanx for your sweet sweet words and encouragement for Charmaine. <br />- Actually Soba can be quite a neat name for a cat. Haha.. as for now, I’ll call her meow meow or stupid cat.<br />- Actually there is range of ages in that group of co-workers but somehow we all look like the same age. LoLz<br />- Yes! Let’s strive to keep our hair chemical-free! But but... sometimes I look at my photos taken with my friends with lovely brown hair, I would think of dyeing again. Coz my dark brown hair from the previous dye looks really black and harsh in photos.<br />- Haha... I think I also took about 20min to answer all the comments in this post so far.<br />- Heh... I don’t travel a lot. In fact, I’m quite ill-travelled compared to lots of Singaporeans of my generation. =) I think you happen to see my NYC and Maldives posts at close distance coz I was backdating NYC yet updating on Maldives at that time but the actual trips were actually spaced quite far apart. LoLz and I’m a Singaporean so it isn’t a trip to Singapore but just my adventures around my own country. <br /><br />~~~~ <br /><br />Xin,<br /><br />I received the other comment on the previous post and have approved and replied it. =D <br />Thank you for following Charmaine’s updates. As for today, Charmaine was in a her usual nauseous state and vomited as well. She was also feeling very giddy often. She feels pain in her legs and tummy. It should be the side effects of the chemo. =(Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-18020789821776228892011-03-04T00:57:10.102+08:002011-03-04T00:57:10.102+08:00Hi Jolene

Here it is...<br />Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful photos and experiences in New York. I enjoyed reading all the various parts alot. Initially I thought you would not share your NY experience on your blog as I’ve been waiting for months for your updates till I gave up. It looks like all of you have a wonderful time and I could see how happy Charmaine is. Look at her cute smile, she must have been so happy to see all of you in NY. I’m curious about what electronic gadget you’re talking about. Take your time in posting your shopping buys. I’ll be waiting for it.<br />BTW, I’m one of your regular readers in Singapore and I have been following Charmaine’s progress on and off. She looks really cute in all the photos here. What kind of pain is she in? Is it due to the treatments? And also I never knew Singapore has a kampong! I can’t wait for your post on it.xinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-69263960820519005152011-03-03T12:42:38.729+08:002011-03-03T12:42:38.729+08:00O-M-G Jo!!!

I'm barely half walk and decided to start writing my comment so I don't forget my thoughts. {*LOL} So let's time this. I'm at your mom's celebration at Flamingo...<br /><br />The food. Your pictures are making me SO hungry!! And I'm so jealous. The buffet at the Marriott in Asia looks SOO bomb. Everything here in the States is bleh. Small and tiny. Sucky!<br /><br />Charmaine. She is such a brave little girl. Every through all she's been she has the sweetest smile ever. I'm just so in awe how strong she is. I wish the best for her. Her faces are so cute! It reminds you of how she's still such a sweet innocent girl even though she's been through so much.<br /><br />I LOL-ed at your soba cat comment. I didn't get it until you reread your title. LMAO. Poor kitten. I'd totally get why Gabby wouldn't like you if you called her soba. {*nom nom nom} {*hehe} I'm just kidding. <br /><br />Some animals just amaze me like that tiny lizard. I can't believe they can cling on through the rain and speed.<br /><br />Your photos with your coworkers is so cute! I don't work with anyone around my age. There are people my age in the office but they're on the other side of the building. Our building is HUGE!<br /><br />You've been to A LOT of different restaurants that service such different food: Singapore, Thai and German?! WOW. Very impressive.<br />Meet ups are definitely fun. Spending time with girl friends and friends in general. You gals look like you had a lot of fun.<br /><br />SASA!!! I've never bought anything from there before but it looks like you got a lot of nice items. BB creams... <3.<br /><br />{*WHOOAAA} I'm super impressed by that rebonding treatment. Your hair looks GORGEOUS!! I'm totally on the same boat as you. I don't want to dye it anymore, trying to keep it chemical free and healthy.<br /><br />AWWWW!! MANS!! I forgot to time when I started writing my comment. {*HAHAHA}Well I know it's been longer than 20 minutes. I've been watching a TV show and it's almost over. Well I wasn't watching, more like listening since I've been reading your post. =] <br /><br />You travel alot don't you? I'm jealous.

The hair rebonding finish looks really good too. <br /><br />As to answers to your queries: I'm Malaysian but I left for UK to further my studies when I was 18. I graduated from medical school in 2005 and had been working in the UK since then. I try to go back to Malaysia at least once a year as my parents & family are still there. So happen I was on a vacation in Malaysia for the past 2 weeks. Im now back to the UK.
