Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray VS Laneige Brightening Sparkling Water Capsule Mist

My friend Cindy introduced me Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray 7 years ago and since then I'm a loyal user. I have it at home and in office. I will bring it along whenever I travel oversea. It's being a great help whenever I feel my skin is dry. I will either purchase when there is promotion or at the hospital as it will be cheaper. The mist has no scent, which I like it alot.

 

Few months ago, I saw Laneige Brightening Sparkling Water Capsule Mist being recommended on 女人我最大. The guest mentioned that it is very popular among the OLs in Taiwan. I asked my friend sister to help me purchased it in Korea. After conversion it cost me about S$34 for 1 bottle, which is more expensive than Avene.

Before using, I got to pop in the 2 sparkling water tablets. Once the carbon capsules finish bubbling, shake 3-4 times so that they melt completely. Spray at a distance and pat it so that the skin will absorb. It has a strong cosmetic scent which I don't really like. If you don't pat the water, it will run down your face. The absorption is fast when you pat it but the skin will feel dry very fast as compare to Avene.

I still prefer Avene and will switch back once I finish using Laneige.

 

 

 

 

 

 

新年快乐!

给你特别的祝福，愿新年带给你无边的幸福、如意。

Rude SBS Bus Inspector

Let me tell you my character before I began my story. I'm a timid and quiet person. I'm not that kind of person who will yell at others, therefore my tone will not be harsh. Furthermore I never confront/scold people before.


On 29 Jan 2016 around 6.33pm at Boon Lay Bus Interchange, I encounter a very unpleasant situation created by an unreasonable eldery SBS bus inspector, he is those staff that usher the passengers to board the bus at 243G/179 area.


The bus was packed and I decided not to board the bus and wait for the second one. I was carrying heavy shopping bag and furthermore I was sick for the past few days which I find it difficult to stand in the bus. I had no unpleasant encounter for the past few years whenever I stop at the first one when I decided to wait for the second bus. No passengers told me off, they will just walked past me if they want to board the bus.

Behind me was a Malay guy whom is plump, he stop too. This was when the rude bus inspector came up to the Malay guy and started scolding him for blocking other passengers. In fact there were ample space for other passengers to walk past him. This rude inspector was just simply targeting on plump people. The Malay guy was on his earphone and did not heard what the rude bus inspector was screaming about. This was when I became his 2nd target. He scolded me for being on my earphone and can't hear what he was screaming about and I was also blocking the way. Sadly to say that my music volume was low at level 7 and I had heard all his nonsense all this while, I choose to ignore him but was targeted as nobody was answering him. I took out my earphone and told him, I can hear what he was screaming about and it's passenger choice whether to board the bus. He simply turn a deaf ear. I can see clearly from his expression that he was a bit shocked when I told him I heard everything, and in order to cover his wrong he continue to scream. I told him to watch his behaviour but he choose to ignore my advise. 

I turned to the Malay guy and asked him whether he heard what the bus inspector was screaming about. He told me he only managed to hear part of it and I explained everything to him. He was puzzled by this rude bus inspector as passengers had the right to choose whether to board the bus or not. I did not told him the rude bus inspector was actually targeting at his body size as I do not wish to hurt him. The rude bus inspector screamed till the next bus arrived.

Before I board the bus, I told him nicely the 2nd time to watch his behaviour, which I think I should remind him. No passengers was bullying him but he was the one abusing his rights and bully the passengers.

I had noticed him for the past few months since he started ushering at 243G/179 area. He will scold the bus captain, another assistant bus inspector helping him ushering and passengers if they do not listen to him or did not meet what he wanted. If bus captain do not stop at his preferred place, he will scold them. Bus had already stop, he insisted the bus captain to drive further up so that passengers will use the exit way to board the bus. He will also scold the passengers when they did not use the exit way to board the bus. Previously when Bus 182 was there, he will scold the foreigners for no reasons. Isn't he suppose to ensure the safety of the passengers instead of squeezing everyone till the door? 

The previous bus inspector and those doing for only 1-2 days were much more better than him. I understand this is not a easy job but as what I mentioned earlier, no passengers was bullying him. He is the one who abuse his rights and bully the passengers and bus captain for no reasons.

We passengers are not there to receive this kind of treatment. Whenever he is not in good mood, he will sure swear and curse at everyone. Passengers will always ignore him as it's rushing hours and we only want a pleasant ride back home or to our destination.

I am very affected by this incident for the past few days. I had wrote complaint email to SBS and Ministry of Transport demanding an apology from him and the company. I doubt I will be given an satisfied answer from them. I had read quite a few articles online and newspapers, SBS will push the blame back to the passengers. Just down on my luck to meet this kind of rude staff.

Kimage Prestige at Marina Square

Last Friday (22 Jan 16), I went to Kimage Prestige for a hair makeover as it's going to be Chinese New Year soon. Scarlett is my hair stylist whom had been looking after my hair for the past 6 years or more. I had very fine and thin hair which many stylist does not know how to handle it. Scarlett is very knowledgeable and able to handle my hair texture.

To be frank, I had been hesitating whether to go back to Kimage or try another hair salon.

I alway wanted to do C Curl, but my hair texture was too weak and Scarlett does not recommend me to do it to worse the condition. Finally this time round she allow me to do so. Hurray!!!

I spend about 5 hours in the salon. Rebonding, C curl, colouring and treatment. I'm so lucky this time round as Scarlett can focus on me throughout the whole process.

Rebonding
When I was young, I alway tied my hair resulting a band round my hair. Therefore I had to rebond twice a year. Scarlett knows I prefer a natural look, so she will avoid applying the rebond cream to the roots. For my hair texture, after rebonding it will be easier for me to maintain.

Colour
I got myself a new hair colour "Purple Red" as recommend by Scarlett. I do not like coloring it red as it will fade very fast and colour will change to I so called "Ah Lian Yellow", black root is very obvious too when it fade. The colour outcome was not too bad, but as I alway wash my hair twice a day, colour is fading very soon, not sure whether it can last till Chinese New Year.

C Curl
Perming at the bottom of my hair to create C curl look. I was so happy to see the C curl after the end, as this is what I alway wanted. Too bad, I'm lousy at hair setting. Till now I can't blow and comb out the C curl Scarlett had done for me. Got to practise more.

Olaplex Treatment
Added in the Olaplex hair treatment to pamper my hair after so many chemicals. Hair bonds are broken during thermal, mechanical and chemical services. Olaplex treatment allows to rebuild the strength and structure. Can't feel anything after this treatment, maybe it's because I done too much in a day. Might try this treatment again when I visit the salon the next round.

Total damages was about S$640+, forgot the actual price. I'm holding a Edge card which I am entitle 25% on hair services. This time round I top-up S$1080, as the value was running low. I was given a free conditioner and Olaplex treatment to use at home.

Lastly there was no Chinese New Year surcharge for me.

爱情那么近又那么远

为何我的爱情总是那么近却又那么远。
明知道不可能却总是抱着希望。
答案揭晓之后，又伤了自己。
这伤心的感觉已经不知道是第几次了。

难道我没有被爱的权力吗？
难道我注定找不到爱我的人吗?

我真心的希望下一次不在轻易动心，或着说不在动心。
因为我真的好累。

就然我伤心多几天吧。
然后，继续习惯单身，继续羡慕其他情侣吧。
再见了，我的爱情。

2016唐立淇星座運勢大解析

I'm a fan of 唐立淇 Jesse Tang, her forecast are quite accurate that every year I must buy her book. She will appear on 女人我最大 every Friday, her psychometry(心里测验) are very accurate too. Whenever she reveal the results, I will be so amaze by the accuracy. Through her psychometry, I can reflect on myself.

This year without fail, I bought her 2016唐立淇星座運勢大解析.

I like to read horoscope and zodic forecast yearly to find out what I will be expecting for that particular year, so that I can be prepared. Most important, whenever I read these books I was hoping I can meet my Mr Right and every year it fails. So take the prediction as a reference, don't take it too hard, as fate is still in your hands.

Happy New Year 2016!

Tick...Tock...Tick...Tock...
Another year has ended.

This year my minds are always flashing back on my past and how I wish I can just turn back the time. There are many things I did not hold onto and now I really regret. There is no one to blame but myself.

Stepping into a brand new year, I hope I can achieve what I want and what I plan to do. It's not easy but I'm not young anymore and I got to make up for the loss.

A brand new year means a brand new start.
I know I can do it.
Fighting Racheal!
