Blackmores Radiance Bloggers Event

What is in this Blackmores goody bag?



I was sponsored two boxes of Blackmore Radiance skin supplements. One box for day and one for night use.



Blackmores Radiance is a marine collagen and antioxidant-rich skin supplement for day and night use. It contains a combination of clinically-proven ingredients to provide 24 hour internal anti-ageing nourishment for the deeper layers of our skin, keeping it healthy, youthful and glowing.


When taken in combination, Blackmores Radiance day and night capsules:

• are clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as tighten pores
• help decrease premature ageing effects of sun damage
• visibly reduce uneven pigmentation and skin tone after 12 weeks
• increase skin moisture and hydration
• enhance skin elasticity 
• help maintain integrity and structure of the skin
• assist with collagen production, skin regeneration and renewal

Heard of the saying "You are what you eat?"

Our modern hectic lifestyles mean we may not be able to eat a variety and quality of nutrients our skin requires to look its best. Even with a well-balanced diet, it is possible that some of us do not obtain the levels of these important nutrients needed for optimum skin health.

For most of us women, our skincare treatment includes cleansers, moisturizers and various creams. By combining our normal skincare routine with Blackmore Radiance, we could achieve complete nourishing and hydrating from outside and within.

Together in the bag is a handy little pill box. I love the way the inner compartments of the box is designed and it seems to be able to keep moisture out. Coincidentally, I recently bought a pill box from my favourite $2 Daiso store so I think I've to pass this to someone else.



There is also a nail buffer in the bag.



I really can't wait to try out Blackmores Radiance especially since it is a new day of the week. I have this weird habit of trying any products at the start of the week.

Blackmores Radiance is available in leading pharmacies and Watsons for the next 6 months.
The selling price is approximately $123.00 for a box of 56 capsule ( 28days and 28 nights)

In conjunction with the Radiance theme, a healthy cooking event was held at Cookyn Inc 2 weeks ago. When Karen invited me to this event, I googled Cookyn Inc and was really excited about the cooking session. I like their concept and how they use simple recipes to whip up healthy yet delicious dishes. I think simple recipes is really the way to go in cooking for lazy bums like me.

Unfortunately, I was involved in helping in a friend's project that day and got delayed. Not wanting to strut into the place more than half way into the event, I decided to forgo the fun cooking session.

Karen said I was missing out on a lot of fun but I really could not bear to walk in late.

Missed out on fun I did for when I saw my blogger friend Elaine's blog on the Cookyn session, I could really kick myself. They whipped up such delectable dishes, I practically drooled over her photos.

For more photos of the yummy food, you may go to this page. You may need to have a Facebook account though.

It seems like my 2 brothers-in-law love my hubby a lot more than I do

It seems like my 2 brothers-in-law love my hubby a lot more than I do.

Just two days after kh flew off, my little bil told me he missed kh's presence.

Then just now, my 2nd bil posted this on Facebook and tagged me.



Kh was involved in an important mission back last year. Here is the full video and his few seconds of fame at 5:04 -- 5:16 and 7:33 -- 7:43.



I was more of salivating at the food in this video. Lol... Kh told me that the food on board was GOOD (in capz).

Next To Me

I caught this song over the radio one day and was drawn by the opening piano portion.

Wanting to know what beautiful song that was, I whipped out my iPhone, opened SoundHound app, recorded for a few seconds and presto! The title, artiste, information and youtube video of this song appeared magically on the screen.

Emeli Sande -- Next To Me



I love songs with beautiful piano or guitar portion and I was enjoying the melody of the song when I decided to click on the video with lyrics and horrors and horrors, I was taken aback by the lyrics.

Emeli is singing about a man who could never exist in this world at all! Take a listen to the lyrics in this version.



What do you think? Do you think such a man exists?

I think whom she is really singing about is God right?

Family Dinner at Flamingo

Back to updating backdated entries.

~~~

In July last year, my paternal aunt from Taiwan returned to Singapore once more for a visit and this time she was here for a much longer period of time. My ah ma (paternal grandma) was also recuperating fast after being discharged from the hospital and hence my family organised an impromptu dinner gathering one Sunday evening at Flamingo Authentic Thai Seafood Restaurant.



The one we went to was located at Jalan Kayu. I think the restaurant has since shifted to 3 Changi North Street. It was my first time there but both my sister's repeated visits. I must say this is one of the best Thai food I've ever had in Singapore. Everyone including my ah ma's domestic helper agreed as well. And the best thing is that everything is halal so our Muslim friends can visit this place too!

Here was what we ordered and even though I loved all the dishes, my favourite was the fish. The soup was clear yet it packed a tangy spicy punch that left me salivating for more. When the fish was stripped to the bone, my sister and I lapped up all the soup.



My ah ma is getting quite forgetful and she often thinks all of us "kids" (her grandchildren) are still schooling. She has even forgotten that I'm married and wonders who kh is each time she sees him. She would remember upon reminding her but would soon forget yet again. Sometimes she even forgets who I am and I would always beam with joy whenever she suddenly recalls and calls my name. =)



It is our great fortune that we have found such a good domestic helper to look after ah ma. She is a genuinely caring person and she likes ah ma a lot. She is also a great cook! I love her rice snacks that she made during the Chinese New Year.



My close friends and those who know me long enough would know that my parents are really very hip and happening. More hip and happening than their three daughters combined, in fact. I would always remember that new year's eve night when I was 17 or 18 years old and my JC friends stayed over at my place. My parents were still not back way after the stroke of midnight and they commented that my parents were more happening than us teenagers. lol

My parents love singing and dancing a lot and would always hang out at their favourite community centre. Actually it was my mum who loved singing and dancing and my dad accompanied her and slowly their love for singing and dancing grew together. They could sing and break out into a dance in the middle of a song.



That evening, my mother suggested we drop by the CC for a while to see what she and my dad usually do there. My 2nd sister, kh and I were a little reluctant at first coz we are not the hokkien KTV kinda people and we hate loud blaring music. However, my oldest sister influenced us to drop by for a while telling us that the uncles and aunties over there are all super hospitable.

How true it was! Even though I hated the whole blaring Hokkien and old fashioned Chinese music atmosphere, I felt really welcomed at that place. The uncles and aunties were indeed very congenial and hospitable. They offered us delicious bbq chicken wings, rounds of snacks and even wine.

We got acquainted with JJ Lin's mum too. Oh I didn't mention that my mum and his mum are friends right? She's such a nice and friendly auntie too!

My mum introduced her as:
"This is JJ's mum."

So my reply went:
"Hello 林俊杰的妈妈,你好!"

For the rest of the night, we feasted nonstop till we were tired of the loud music and excused ourselves. I was really glad that I made the decision to drop by my parents favourite haunt that night even though I was hesitant initially. It helped me understand more about what my parents usually do outside and I got to know genuinely nice uncles and aunties.

I recorded a video of my parents dancing and for my FB friends, you can view it here.
