Foil Nails and Lash Extensions at Milly's

Got my nails done at Milly's again!

This time, I was kinda in a rush so I went for foil nails. I love how foil nails always look pretty, and I don't have to sit at the salon for a long time to get them done. Mixed blue, purple, silver, and gold.




And.... I did lash extensions too, for the first time in my life! After seeing all the good reviews and returning customers at Milly's, I thought I should try it too!

The Korean lashes at Milly's come in various lengths, colors and thicknesses, for different looks and can be worn during sleep, showering and swimming. There is also choice of cluster lash (stuck on eyelids) or single lash (strand by strand stuck on your own individual lash, plus look more natural too). I chose cluster lash and requested for shorter lashes so that I can still wear my spectacles at home. The adhesive used is surgical-grade.

Check out my fluttery lashes done at Milly's! They can usually last 3-6 weeks depending on how you take care of them. It is actually very comfortable and having eyelash extensions also means time spent on eye makeup is saved!

我的少女時代 (Spoilers)

Watched the movie "我的少女時代" over the weekend and I love it so much that I decided to dedicate this entry specially for it!



Awhile back, I heard Hebe's new song 小幸運 on radio and searched for it on Youtube. After I knew it was the theme song of this Taiwanese movie, I waited eagerly for the movie and I was so excited when it was confirmed to screen in Singapore!


The movie was so good that even when the credits started rolling, nobody stood up to leave the cinema!!!!!



That night, after I went home I listened to 小幸运 nonstop and couldn't sleep that night because I kept thinking about 徐太宇! Love him too much!



You know, the type of guy who is indifferent to everyone else except one special girl. The type of guy who remembers every single thing that the girl ever said. The type of guy who looks confident and cool outside but inside, is actually cute, kind, and have a soft spot for this one girl. The type of guy who cared more about her than himself. The type of love that 不知不觉 happened over time.

每个女孩心中都住了一个林真心,希望有个男生像徐太宇一样义无反顾地爱自己。

But 我好像已经错过我的少女时代,我的徐太宇。 :(





Even up till now, I am still suffering from withdrawal symptoms! I wanna watch it again!

Really love the part towards the end, at the school hall. There's just so much togetherness in that scene. Oh and the part where he appeared below her house was quite sweet too.



I grew up with Taiwanese idol dramas, and this movie is like the ultimate Taiwanese idol drama. I felt very touched at so many moments! How to not love this guy??




For those who have already watched, here are some of the quotes I like from the movie!!

没穿过高中制服翘一次课,长大才会后悔。



以后我叫刘德华唱给你听!
(wahlao this part damn shuai lor!)




后来才发现,原来喜欢一个人,是不知不觉。



感谢那辆车,搭住她肩的那一刻,我第一次发现,心,可以跳得那么快。
(THIS SCENE IS JUST SO AWESOME. I WOULD TOTALLY MELT IF I AM THAT GIRL.)



我的愿望,就是希望你的愿望里,也有我




虽然你又矮又笨还喜欢别的男生, 可是我还是很喜欢你。



长大之后才知道,砸水球比赛第一个所砸的人, 不是因为你讨厌他,而是因为你眼里只有他。



谢谢你出现在我的青春里。



Oh, plus got my favourite Jerry Yan leh.

Braces - Rubber Bands

So I went to the TLC dental care as usual for my monthly session to tighten my braces and this time, Dr Enrica Sham placed rubber bands on my top and bottom teeth to close the remaining gap. So erm, I cannot stretch my mouth too open now. Haha.

Just google images for "braces with rubber band" to have a clearer picture of how the bands are tied together. See the two hooks at the edges? The band stretches from there to another two hooks at my bottom row of teeth.



I would say that so far my braces journey went better than expected, and the monthly tightening have started to not be so painful anymore.

But hor, this new rubber bands are quite painful during the first few days! Like how it felt when I just started having braces on!

Filling things to eat when tooth hurts: Yogurt or ice cream or laobao beancurd or mashed potatoes. (I personally don't recommend porridge because it's abit too liquid and tend to drop inside the extraction gaps.) I need my solids so I usually eat rice or glutinous rice! Small pieces of minced meat are good too. I just swallow them without biting. Haha.

I am very satisfied at how much my face shape sharpened and improved! Can't wait for my final braces session!

Am really glad I got my braces done by a qualified orthodontist! Nothing to worry about, plus the service at TLC Dental Centre is really awesome - appointment reminders and warm welcome everytime I visit.

Spruce

One of those cafe backlogs.

This time, Alvin joined me and bf! We wanted brunch but I didn't have any cafes in mind, so we went for Spruce at Phoenix Park.

Spruce has been around for quite awhile, so i thought, should be quite a safe choice!

Blue Hair for Monday Blues

It's Monday again! This weekend was quite shiok because I finally got to rest a little! The past few weeks were hectic, and even during the weekends I was out being busy! Hardly had time to sit infront of my computer for several hours a stretch, nor watch all my dramas and variety shows :(

So this weekend, I took my own sweet time, and having the time to do nothing at all felt awesome!

Watched the Martian on Saturday and I conclude that I have absolutely zero survival skills. I think I am kinda good at the logical reasoning and solving puzzles kind of stuff but when it comes to physical abilities and theory knowledge, I am totally clueless! For example, I can't swim. I can't hang myself on a simple playground monkey bar, much less any ledge or tree branch. I don't have stamina in running long distances. I am terrible at science and math beyond the usual additions/subtractions so I won't know what mix with what will have what reaction. Really quite jialat hor? I only knew that flour was dangerous after watching a Hong Kong movie last year (You see, movies not a waste of time... can learn new things!) I was more interested in social studies and the arts in school, but now that I think about it, these are quite useless subjects to learn ya? Art won't help me get out of a jungle if I am lost.... or help me survive on Mars.

But I can draw a nice map to help someone else out of a jungle I guess. Hahaha.

So anyway, I recently got my hair ends dyed blue! I told my hair stylist Wayne from Zeal Salon that I was bored of my boring brown hair and wanted some color. Since I haven't tried blue, I decided on it! Because I didn't want to look like an anime character and I needed something work-appropriate, Wayne only dyed the ends and blended them well with my brown hair.

I love the color! It turned out exactly the way I like it :)






Call 6333 0337 to book an appointment with Zeal Salon now!

Sad

Nooooooooooooo I am so sad.

I just heard news that my favourite talkshow Kang Xi Lai Le is ending its long run and going to be discontinued....

It's like my happy pill. Whenever I am sad or stressed, just watching the show makes me laugh alot and lighten my mood!

:(
I thought Kang Xi Lai Le will continue forever and forever and forever :(

Triple Three @ Mandarin Orchard

Dad just told me that my mobile data usage has hit 12gb *gasp* So not looking forward to paying phone bills this month :( I miss those days when we had unlimited mobile data! Nowadays data is really expensive!

OOTD: Something different from my usual style, and I kinda like it!



Anyway, this is yet another buffet entry! Bf brought me to Triple Three at Mandarin Orchard after lunching here with his colleagues and finding it good. I can never remember Triple Three or Triple One and always have to google for the right name. Didn't help that the nearby 313 somerset has a similar name.

I always begin with sashimi during buffet, unless I am really hungry... then I will go get carbs or meat first. I only like salmon sashimi though.


At the start of our lunch, a Caucasian couple sat beside us and after just a plate of food and complimenting the dishes, they left. I was like, "wah! buffet leh! so worth it for the restaurant!"

Then right after, another pair of Caucasian couple were seated next to us and this time, the man ate a plate of steak while the lady didn't have anything. Then, they left. They were there for an even short duration than the first couple! I looked at bf and said, "wah, is it only Singaporeans so kiasu must eat many rounds during buffet?" Haha. Bf said maybe they are ala-carte customers.... Maybe? If not I am really in awe at how one can pay for a buffet and eat just one plate and leave.... Even if I am not very hungry I also will eat at least three rounds! *kiasu* Hahaha.

Buffet at M hotel



Earlier this year bf kept craving for buffet so one fine day we randomly went for the buffet at M hotel. I was initially quite disappointed with the limited variety of food when we entered the restaurant, but was appeased soon after by the quality of the selections.

The salmon was fresh and yummy, I kept going back for seconds! There were also chilli crabs the day I went! Most buffet only serve cold crabs, so I really appreciate the ones that have savoury hot crabs available as well.

Bf ate very fast initially and got full very quickly. The rest of the time he was looking at me going for my rounds and making me feel guilty for going yet another round. But really not full yet mah..... It looked like I was eating alot more than him but actually it was lesser okay, just that I eat slow so even after he finished eating I could still eat alot more. Haha.

OOTD BOX is back! 29th September to 5th September!

Last year, I blogged about OOTD Box by Lyra Minn here and here. The response was overwhelming and it was relaunched a few months back, for a limited time only each time.

Current order period: 29th September - 5th September. 



Here's an example of what you get from an OOTD Box!









Regular price at $39 per box, but you may quote
"ESTHERXIEOOTDBOX"
to purchase it at special price $35!

It's really worth it because each OOTD Box contains:

Outfit* + Bag/Clutch + Accessory + Beauty Products and FREE DELIVERY

*Outfit = 1 dress or 1 set of top and bottom. Occasionally with an outerwear.

What I love most is the surprise element but for those who prefer to have some control, there is also a free customization option for color, sizing, and style! Can also specify if you don't want certain items!

- Everything in the OOTD box is specially put together to create 1 coordinate
- Unlike Grab Bags, the items are not a few random apparels, but a set of outfit that can be worn together without the need to find other items to match.
- After wearing once, can match using own items for different look!
- Super affordable for a full outfit including bag and accessory

Sneak peeks of some of the coordinates on www.lyraminn.com!

Besides the OOTD Box, there is also “ala-carte” pieces! Shop away!
