    Being beautiful has never been easier with Benefit!

    Chanced upon Benefit from their website and found it at CK Tangs. I just couldn't resist myself, the packaging is so cool! I told myself I just need to get them! After understanding about the various products from the lady, I bought dr.feelgood and some-kind-a-gorgeous. These two items burnt a $120 big hole in my wallet!

    After using it for more than a month now, I must say, I simply love them! The powder is so light and you don't feel like wearing make-up at all! I used to hate wearing make-up, so when I say I loveeee Benefit, I truely mean it! I don't think I'll be using any other brands anymore.

    Also bought their popular blusher, Dandelion online. And I simply love love love it too! Am waiting to buy more. In fact, I want all!

    I have been a Starhub MaxOnline user for many years too. Let's see...at least 7 years? It has been serving me really well, and it's so nice of them to increase their plans' bandwidth for free (then again, it could be that they are holding back their speed and giving us bit by bit).

    I'm on the cheapest plan, mainly because I'm the only person at home using it. I don't know if upgrading my plan will help, but whenever I try SingNet at my friends' home, it feels faster. I believe it's the ping time. The same reason why online gamers swear by SingNet. But when it comes to downloading, Starhub seems to excel with really fast speeds.

    All in all, I am a satisfied customer. But I do hope they will reduce their pricing. I admit I've been tempted several times to hop to SingNet due to their lower prices.

    Talking about creativity! This group of creative people sure has a great creative idea and I've a feeling this is going to be big! (One day)

    Saw them at MAAD today. I've to say, this is a very new and fun gift idea for everyone and anyone! Sure will put a smile on your friend's and loved one's face when you give a head to them. I am already considering getting it for couple of my girlfriends. (shhh...)

    Go check out their website for samples of the heads. So cute lah!

    Oh! btw... they're cushions aka huggables aka pillow or whatever you want to call it.

    Was planning to head to play boardgames at Boat Quay when we chanced upon this Thai Restuarant. Took a glance at the menu and found the price pretty reasonable. So we went in to get our dinner.

    I like the murals on their walls. Simple yet tasteful. Simple decor and gives a very easy and relax feel while dining. Clean too. Nothing fancy. I like.

    We ordered fried tofu (3 flavours), spicy chiang mai squid and green curry chicken. The food was nice and lightly taste. Its different from the other Thai food i had before which has a very strong taste of their spicies. Food here is nicely cooked with just the right amount of spice. You'll still be able to taste the original taste of the meat/vege with the sauce over it.

    Total spent $22 for 2 person. Worth a try.

    Was quite confused with the ordering process at my first visit. First I was given a number card with my table number. Then the guy at the entrance will place a matching table number at an available table for the number of guest. Then we placed our order, collected our drinks and had to sit at the table given to us. (You cannot choose to sit at another table as it'll all be numbered.)

    Food came and we had to cook our own food. Pour in the sauces and start cooking your meat on the hot stone. All the sizzling and cooking created a strong smell that filled the entire place. I personally wouldn't like sitting there for too long after my meal. Kinda stink the clothes.

    Had my second visit at Pepper Lunch yesterday. My friends were there before me and were about to finish when I arrived. I queued to order my food and from my previous experience, I requested for a number card. The guy asked where I sit and I told him my table number was removed as the food already delivered. He doesn't seem to understand me as he kept asking for a table number! I repeated myself again this time slower and pointing to my table. Then finally he understood. But he seemed rather lost not knowing what to do. Later he told me to inform the cashier when placing my order. So I did. And the cashier gave me a confused look again! I'm totally lost. What's so difficult about giving me a new table number? Later he checked with the guy again and then he told her to give me a table number from her sets of numbers. Walking back to my table to join my friend, I asked myself, what's the difference from the guy at the entrance giving me a number and the cashier giving me a number? Aren't they the same?

    The food was alright. Its the concept of cooking it yourself and the special sauce they have that makes it a novelty for customers. Other than that, I don't see what's so good about it, considering the smell and price and service, I'll rather not have my meal there.

    Quick review: Was there yesterday for Secret. Show time was 7.45pm. But we were not allowed to enter earlier as the theatre wasn't ready. Wanted to buy popcorns at the counter inside and go to the ladies before the show. But we couldn't.

    The cinemas was packed and the queue was long at the ticketing counter. As we bought our tickets earlier, we had to requeue to get popcorns. They should have created an express lane for those who just want popcorns instead of putting the ticketing n popcorn counter together. Yes its easier for those who buy ticket the last minute/ before the show and get their popcorns at the same time. But what about people like us? The most irritating thing is when those buying tickets infront of you can't decide which seats to pick! They held up the queue and we ended up late for the show. When we finally got to our theatre, the show already started!

    Later we found out that they do delivery service to our seats for food orders. I feel that this is a good gesture for people who bought tickets first so they can order their food and get it delivered. But think again, wouldn't these delivery disturb the others in the theatre? Especially if the delivery is for someone sitting right in the center of the row?

    I still feel that a seperate counter is better for those who just want popcorn.

    I'm also a starhub maxonline user. Personally, I feel that maxonline is faster and better as compared to other bb provider. Have been asking around others too when I have to recontract my subscriptions. And usually a higher percentage of ppl I talk to recommended me to stick to starhub. At least you don't have to worry about your home line plans? Another reason why I'm on starhub is also cos I do not have a home line since everyone at home has a mobile phone. And with the free incoming, what's the point of a home line?

    If you find that the plan you subscribe to is too high, you can downgrade to a lower plan. The speed shouldn't be reduced too much. If you're comfortable with the wireless@sg speed while surfing outdoor, then go lower plan for home cable I would say.

    Pretty handmade crochet charms and embellishments make her accessories one-of-a-kind. Her lovely collection of accessories is very pretty and womanly. Her use of colors is simply magical.

    Love all the designs! If only I can have them all!

    Maria is also a very friendly lady who moved to Singapore with her family as her husband is deployed to work here. Very nice lady to chat with. She makes everyone feel so welcome at her shop (when she's goes MAAD at red dot museum.)

    Go take a look at her blogstore. Buy one for yourself, or if you're a guy, buy for your gf/wife/mother.

    Jalan Kayu used to be my dinner place after work couple years back. It was near my work place and near my home. Although there are quite a number of food places along Jalan Kayu, Cafeela is the one that we frequent often. So often that the uncle working there recognises us.

    They've recently expanded and now has an air-con dining area too. Price and food still the same. Just that the menu in the air-con place is newer and has more seafood stuff as compared to their normal menu. This dining area is also a good place to host mini dinner party.

    My usual orders at Cafeela includes their Pataya Fried Rice (Rate 4/5), Salted Fish Fried Rice (Rate 3/5), Curry Fish Head (Rate 3.5/5), Fried Beef Kuay Teow (4/5), Pratas (Rate 3.5/5, I prefer this as compared to the one down the road.) and Chicken Wings with Sambal (Rate 4.5/5). The wings aren't those crispy kind, but I like the marinating and the sambal just makes it more yummy! And now they serve satays too! Quite nice also. Can try. But you got to wait for quite a while during dinner time.

    Overall, the food is not bad. Staff are mostly friendly, but do expect to wait for the food (sometimes even the drinks) during weekends dinner hours.

    Nice place to chill too after midnight. If you like chilling with Tek Terik and Milo Dinosaur. =)

    120. 603 Tau Sar Piah

    There were couple of shops selling Tau Sar Piah along Balestier Road. When we drove past these shops, the was no queue at these stalls. So I didn't expect to see a queue when I'm at my destination. But to my surprise, the queue was pretty long at 603 Tau Sar Piah. It seems to be very popular among the young and old.

    While queuing I was always peeping to see if there's still Tau Sar Piah left for me when it's my turn. And true enough, by the time I reach the counter, there were only 2 salted ones left. (So sad. I love salted ones.)

    The Tau Sar Piah is soft and fluffy. It was still warm when I bought them. (Fresh from the oven!) I couldn't resist so I had them in the car. Took couple of photos too. Uploaded here for everyone to see. As you can see, the fillings is packed full and the skin is thin and yummy!

    603 Tau Sar Piah is worth a try! I was told weekday queue is shorter and more variety will be available at any one time. They're open till 6.30pm. Go try lah!
