WaWaWa Bistro By The Reservoir

Date of visit: 29.05.2014

So near yet so far, Bedok Reservoir is only less than 10 mins drive from my place, but we never visit till recently.

Not taking too much pics this time cos' I was quite determine to jog, get done with an early dinner and rush back home to catch my favourite TV show 非诚勿扰。

As we jogged, we watched the sun biding the day goodbye, softly, before she hands her duty to the moon.  It's amazing, but we all had taken it from granted most of the time.

We jogged and walked round the circumference of the reservoir, making WaWaWa Bistro our finish point.

We cool ourselves a little, make sure we didn't smell before popping in, heehee....

Ratten furnitures always compliments an outdoor area, giving it a resort feel effortlessly.

Blue down lights at the bar counter is clever, the place feels and looks cooler.

Ignore my puffy eyes, was holding Fruit Punch S$6.00.

Lobster Bisque S$5.80

Tasted more like tomato bisque without any lobster meat inside.  Quite a disappointment.

Pork Knuckle S$25.80

Side dishes of green salad, sauteed potato and sauekraut (sour cabbage) came in decorative portions.  Pork knuckle was crunchy on the outside, meat was slightly dry but still delicious.  The plate was good for the price.

Mini Burger S$13.80

This cute plate came last and was the best!  BBQ sauce coated thick beef burger steaks which were juicy at each bite.  Even the bread was soft and tasty.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Well, that little calories we burned off at the jog were replenished in no time.  We will repeat this "mistake", no doubt, hur hur....  That's life!

Soft Launch of FAST Clubhouse

Date of event: 25.05.2014

 Precious Nail Services, runs by me, was engaged to an outbound job at a special clubhouse!

Selfie, was wearing Precious Nail's uniform to look more professional ;)

It was a soft launch of FAST Clubhouse located at 10 Raeburn Park.

It wasn't a club house for rich tai-tais, neither was it for Singaporeans.

It's a clubhouse for foreign domestic workers!   It's a non-profit organisation that conduct upgrading classes for them.

It also provides recreational facilities, like KTV, library, billard and computer lab.

Rather than roaming around aimlessly at shopping malls, I feel that this makes a great place for domestic workers to engage in healthy activities during their off days.

Reporter from Channel News Asia was here too.

For those who have domestic helpers at home, probably you may like to find out more from their web-site ~ www.fast.org.sg

Now that you have a rough ideal on what FAST Clubhouse is all about, here's my manicure booth ^.^

Looking fat here, but die die have to post my manicure booth in rose theme in pink and white hues.
  Pretty looking and I had been using this decor for sometime.  Thought changing roses to sunflowers; replace white table cloth with bright orange/yellow or pale green.

I took away many virgins...... virgin manicure I mean, heehee....

Most of them had never done manicure before, they had their first time with me!

They were squeaking and giggling, with eyes as shiny as the fresh polishes on their nails.

I may be just a manicurist, but the joy that I brought to the girls gave me a priceless job satisfaction.

Being a blog owner makes it possible to share my mini achievement in this space.

I hope my colorful polishes will continue bring me to more places, meet more people and of course, gives me income to fulfil travel destinations.

JC New Zealand Skincare

*sponsored

Have not been to New Zealand, yet.  But getting my hands on some New Zealand skincare is cool!

Before I proceed with my reviews, a little more about JC New Zealand skincare products.  They composed of 100% natural ingredients, mainly the best lanolin oil from the wol of New Zealand's iconic sheep.

 Most important of all, products are not tested on animals ^.^

Lanolin Lip Balm  (0.15oz) S$14.50

Size of a normal lipstick, retractable balm stick by twisting the bottom.  Almost no scent, very comfortable on lips without being too oily.  SPF25 protection is a plus!

Lanolin & Collagen Creme (3.5oz) S$41.00

Contains - Protein Enhanced Collagen,

Antioxidant Vitamin E,

Cooling Aloe Vera,

and Natural Lanolin.

It claims to promote youthful skin by plumping and tightening the skin.  May be use day and night.

The white cream lingers a baby powder smell on the skin.  Smells so good and pampering that I feel like applying it all over my body =D

The cream took a only a few seconds to absorb into the skin, no sticky residue.  I have combination skin so I apply less on my oily T-zone and slightly more on the other areas.   Skin feels like baby and smells like baby ^.^

Placenta Creme (3.5oz) S$50.00

Contains - Sheep Placenta Extract,

Vitamin E,

and Lanolin.

It claims to stimulate cell renewal function with placenta extract; promotes blood circulation with Vitamin E which is directly absorbed through the skin and helps to prevent melanin (pigmentation) from building up.  May be use day and night.

Texture and smell is the same as Lanolin & Collagen Creme, LOVE IT!

I am already 43 this year, not a lavishing beauty, but I am facing the world with confidence and pride cos' I takes good care of my skin with good anti-aging skincare like JC New Zealand.

Osaka Ohsho at Westgate

Date of visit: 01.05.2014

Travelled all the way from Tampines to Jurong's Westgate shopping mall after several hints and "pleads" from hubby -___-

Was famished, dying for lunch cum dinner, popped into a restaurant which didn't look too expensive and no queue.

Most importantly, it's not found in Tampines.   It's beyond lame to travel 45 mins and eat "safe" food from same old food chains, like Pasta Mania, Ding Tai Fung, Sushi Teh etc..  So said, this was my first visit to Osaka Ohsho ^.^

Giant gyoza at the entrance, so we know this must be their 招牌菜 (chef's speciality).

This is the ambience and it was freezing cold >.<

Menu on tablet, tap tap to make your order!

Serving was fast.  We tried the following.....

Meat Bowl Set S$15.90

Minced meat balls in sweet sour sauce tasted much like chinese 古鲁肉 (sweet sour pork), it's a safe dish that will please anybody.

But the set came with 6pcs of gyoza, it was minced meat overdose.

Gyoza looked so perfect!

Skin was soft and thin, filled with succulent minced meat with some veg in it.

However, what left an impression wasn't gyoza, it was their fluffy white steam rice.  The rice was amazingly tasty in perfect texture!  It's soft but not sticky, each grain was fat and puffy.... and that subtle fragrance was unforgettable.....  I don't normally take much rice, but theirs was so good that we did not leave a single grain behind.

Gyokai Ramen Set S$11.90

Ramen was obviously not their forte; broth was neither rich nor milky, egg was hard boiled (I always prefer lava egg yolks).  Springy noodles saved the bowl and could probably be better with 2 pieces of char siew instead of one lonely piece, heehee.....

The set came with another 6pcs of gyoza, making a total of 12pcs on the table.  We had placed our order without really looking, *face palm*.   It was too much, we nearly couldn't stomach them all. 

If you ever visit Osaka Ohsho, remember MUST EAT their rice!

Ayam Penyet Ria

Date of visit: 12.04.2014


Bedok Simpang or Simpang Bedok (not sure which is right) is one of the yummy and economical food hunt at the east area. Previously, blogged about Badoque which you may read about it HERE.  

Ayam Penyet Ria, is another halal nom nom place newly opened not too long ago.

Interior is kept simple, jazz up with colorful cushion stools.

The menu is basically made up of different types deep fried fish or chicken with rice.

Avocado Juice S$4.50

I love this Indonesia drink like crazy!!  It's a thick blend of avocado with caramel.  It's rich but not too sweet, MUST ORDER!

Gourami Fish S$9.80

Looked impressive and reminds me of "Elephant fish" we had in Vietnam.

Comes with some fried tofu cubes, cucumber slices, a little bit of lettuce and last but not least their blacan chilli!!!

I ate up the head, fins almost the entire fish leaving it's spine :P~~  Their chilli alone was good enough with rice.  Needless to say, that big scope you are seeing here was not enough, we helped ourselves with more at the counter where they put one big tub there, heehee......

Ayam Penyet S$7.90

Big chicken thigh was flavourful and crispy on the outside, meat was juicy, finger licking good...

Nothing beats having a good meal after a long day of work.  If I can be more "chin cai" (easy/not picky) in food, I can save up more money though >.<

Aqua Source Cream from The Skin Shop

*sponsored

I am a big fan of LU-SKIN (from Korea) ever since I discovered their Detox Total & Anti-Wrinkle Serum.  This amazing product has lift off all signs of aging from my face.  I swear by it till today.

Read about it HERE.

You may say that my confidence with LU-SKIN is unshakeable.   Here's another product from the same line...

.

.

.

Aqua Source Cream (50ml) S$39.90

Absolutely love the pump dispenser bottle!

One pump gives a little white ball of cream, but this is not an ordinary cream!

Looks like cream; feels like lotion and absorbs like water!

Aqua Source Cream is like magic!

However, from the description on the package, it seemed to be more suitable for dry skin.

So I used it on my hubby who's skin is dry and peels a little from time to time.

Before and After pics of his forehead.  Yeah, my old man got lot's of wrinkles but he bo chap.  Skin instantly looked and feel more supple upon 1 application.   It's literally applying water INTO the skin.  Most people don't like creams as they feels heavy and sticky.  Aqua Source Cream is an exception, it's WATER in a form of cream!

  Skin feels very refreshing and hubby is very happy and comfortable with non-sticky feel and mild fragrance.  Hopefully this will motivate him to take care of skin!
