Fairytale dreams do come true.

This place is a rare find! I'm very certain every gal dreams of having ice-cream in a fairytale lookalike theme right? Thanks to my sister for the great recommendation and BF for bringing us there on a Friday night!

It started off with dinner at Baystreet 21 at IMM and then we headed straight in search of this fairytale cafe!


There were so many nice flavours to choose from and it's hard to make a choice sometimes!

Ice Dream Land cafe is made up of five different themes to suit every girl's desire :)


I was drawn by the carriage and garden theme the moment I stepped in. Thanks goodness there was no customer in sight and we started cam-whoring for almost 30 minutes!


This is the carriage that was specially designed for Ice Dream Land cafe. I felt like a princess when I sat inside!


This is the lovers' room. Red sofa and see-through curtains, simple alluring!



This is the fireplace theme. Table suits a group of 4 to 6 people.


Recently, I'm attracted to curtains. lol.



Our yummy-licious desserts! Every flavour is so nice!


Thank you Ice Dream Land cafe! You made every gal's dream come true!

Potion 9


Breakfast is the most important meal to start the day.
I had KFC am twister for breakfast this morning, thanks to my colleague for buying my share! But I'm feeling so stuffed that I skipped lunch. Probably will go down to the canteen to buy some snacks later.

Just bought Potion 9 from a salon to style my curls and revitalize my hair, recommended by one of my colleagues. I have tried it this morning, it's neither sticky nor oily. Most importantly it smelled nice, not some kind of chemical smell! But my damage is $85!!!

I have the curling thongs at home so starting from weekends, I can style my hair to whatever curls I desire. As for weekdays, I have to wake up 20mins earlier to wash and style my curls. This is the price I have to pay to look good okay! haha.

I find that it's fundamental to look presentable at work or going out with friends and we should always make an effort to dress up accordingly to the occasion. There's nothing wrong in spending some money to make yourself look good. With so many products in line, women have a higher buying power than men.


Countdown: 7 weeks to my Japan trip!

Ben and Jerry chunk fest

On Saturday, arranged to meet Karen to the Mine's Salon together. She did her hair treatment while I went for digital perm. Gosh! I spent almost 5 hours inside! After she finished her hair treatment, she stayed with me awhile before heading off to work.

Goodness me! My ears can feel the heat and I had to force a smile for the camera.

Karen and me

Hee.. I love my curls. This time, my curls are bigger and loose. I never took any shot of my new perm as time was running out. It was close to dusk by the time I'm done. Rushed off to meet Wanyu and her friends at Marina Bay MRT for the Ben & Jerry chunk fest. I had only small bites along the way which was considered my dinner.


There were many kinds of ice-cream flavours and we each chose a different flavour from the exclusive launch for the chunk fest.


Nice, cooling weather with the company of Ben & Jerry ice-cream!


My perm is a little obvious here in this picture. I'm going for my hair dye in 2 weeks time!

These were the only two great shots that I managed to take after several blur shots! BF was so sweet to come pick me up and even bought my favourite bread from Provence Bakery!

This week had been a fulfilling weekend than most of my other weekends because I cast aside my habit of slugging at home on Sunday. Instead I woke up early in the morning to join my colleagues for roller-blading at ECP! After that, BF fetched me home and I went for a jog. How cool was that?!


I never had my feet on the skates in my whole 27 years and I was fearful initially but I got over my fear after we did a round of balancing on the plain grass. Tyan and me who were still beginners, done our practice at the skating ground while the rest went to skate elsewhere. Time flew fast and 2 hours was just over like that! It seemed I had not enough fun yet, I definitely need more lessons before I'm ready on my own! I'm still on the verge of learning!


This group of colleagues are actually very sporty as you can see from the pictures right?
It's great knowing friends who are into outdoor activities. Either way, both indoor and outdoor activities are enjoyable to arouse my mind and body!

09.09.09

It's a special day to some couples 'cuz it's triple 999! I believe some couples will choose such a date to wed, it's a date easy to remember.

Congrats to those who are getting married on this special day!

To dwell for.. beautiful curls...





I'm hoping to achieve either both of these two looks this coming weekend. I'm pretty nervous of the results. I hope it won't be disappointing like the previous time where I looked like an 'AH SOH' in the market.

New skincare


I have been using Maple clinic's products for almost two years now. Since my outgrowth of acne is already under control, it's time for a switch over skincare products.

There are many comprehensive products and I was in a dilemma for quite a while before I decided on Laneige skincare.


I just purchased their eyes and lip mak
eup remover and multi cleanser that works well as a makeup remover, foam cleansing and micro-scrubbing. 3-in-1 for convenience sake especially for my daily makeup routine! I asked for some samples, will try it to see how's the texture of the cream. I'll probably be back to buy more!

For dinner, we had frog porridge at Geylang. Our car was parked far from those stalls so we had to do some walking. As we aren't sure which stall sells the best, juicy frogs, we looked out for the most crowds and finally settled for the one at Lor 9.

It's been a long time since I had frog porridge!
It's indeed savory. The main concern here was the serving of the frogs were too little. I know I have no problem finishing them up!

Revel in Pleasure

It was my first time going for high-tea buffet and my very first time with accompany of my colleagues!

One of my colleagues actually brought her little princess, Verane along and she is really adorable with her big round eyes. Time flies, she's turning one pretty soon! There seemed to be alot of stairs inside the hotel as each of us took turns to carry the baby pram to make our way to the cafe. Can you imagine the way we handled the baby pram? I can only say we are still inadequate to becoming the baby's nannies yet!

More photos this time round! Can you make a guess who is the mummy of little Verane?


The food was well-presented and it was a wide
spread of small, delightful bites.


Apart from eating and chatting, we were busy shooting as there were four cameras going around taking pictures!


Guess what! We agreed on wearing a dress and each of us had a cute little hair-clip on our hair, a design of a hat and it's a gift bought from Angel in Taipei. I hope you guys noticed it! Even little Verane was putting on one!


Little Verane was busy chewing her snack! Oh, look at those big round eyes!



Desserts, desserts, desserts time! Girls are a sucker for desserts right?



My virgin attempt carrying little Verane, I hope I wasn't too clumsy with her. It's unbelievable if I say I want to have a baby now 'cuz everyone can tell how inexperienced I am right. So if I ever mention that to you, just take it I'm not serious.



Finally, a group picture of the Tai tai wannabes and our little princess! It was an enjoyable afternoon!

Since Far East was just nearby, I went to check out the hair salons and ask for their rates. I wanted to meet BF and his ex-poly mates for dinner after that but I was already too full for anything and my feet started to give way to pain.
