What I am using : Part I

Some of you may know that I incurred quite a fair some of money on my hair. I don't dare to calculate how much I spend on it. I am sharing with you some of the products that I've been using so far & I just cant live without it.

I will alternate to use all the following products depending on whether I rebond or color my hair.

At one point in time, my hair was so bad after rebonding from Kimage that my hair-stylist from SuperCut recommended Redken complete set of EXTREME hair product for distressed hair to me (from left : Shampoo, Conditioner, Protein Restructuring Treatment, Leave-on Treatment). I've used the full range for quite sometimes now & I really can feel the quality of the hair getting better. Each strand seems stronger now. They range from S$30-S$48 each.


From Rico Laboratories. Shampoo & Conditioner for rebonded hair. These are the 3rd set I purchased after I tried it over at my sis's house last year. You can only purchased it from selected salons. Cost about S$28 each.


All from The Body Shop.
Brazil Nut Moisture Mask to restore & strength Dry, Chemically Treated Hair.
Honey Moisturising Shampoo & Olive Glossing Shampoo. I love their smells..... hmmmm...


These are some of the easily available off-the shelf products that I am using occasionally from Silkpro & Dove.


These products worked for me too. The L'oreal Color Vive mask. Your hair feels soft immediately after using it. You can see the difference instantly.


After shampoo, these are the products that I used. All from the The Body Shop.

From left : Macadamia Straightening Balm , its a heat activated balm for long lasting kink-free hair. I supposed it should be applied prior to using the hair crimping straightener. I bought a straightener from Vidal Sassoon, makes my life so much easier now. I don't have to go to salon to style my hair... YAY !!
Next is my long time favourite Grapeseed Glossing Serum. I think this is the 7th bottle I am using now since I tried it about 2 yrs back. It is not oily & gives your hair instant shine & gloss. I cannot live without it. It cost S$24 for a small 75ml bottle.
Amilka Leave-In Conditioner, not so good as the previous one which effectively is for the same purpose.
Lastly, Bilberry Leave-In Detangler to help conditioner & shine. I love the smell of the spray. It makes combing so much easier.


After giving birth to Amos, I tend to drop mighty of hair. I stumble across the Shisheido Medicated Vita Voltage BL hair tonic from a magazine & read about how it is able to control the hair loss. I went to salons to purchase it the next day. Its not cheap, S$70.
The other bottle on the right is also a hair tonic from SP, System Professional. It has ginseng extract & only to be used at night. I don't know why too. S$58.

That's about all for my hair care products. So what are the products that you are using. Why don't you share with me too?

Coming up....my Shower & Face Wash products ....

To be continued....

My Jingle Bells

Saw these at Parkway Parade. I just got to bring it home. Do you know why? hehe ;p



Also bought one small deco for the main door. Cant get a BIG one cos it will clash with the gate.

Mosquitoe kissed Amos

Amos' face was bitten by mosquitoe on Thurs. Apparently they are inside the house cos he was bitten in the living room. The bite appeared so RED on his baby skin. So heart pain ah !!
Till now, it is still obvious but he is less bothered with it now unlike on Thurs when he kept scratching until half of his face are all RED :(

Our 1212 Night

As requested, I'm showing you some pictures of our 1212 night.

I looked like I'm going clubbing... LOL :D

Hubs say cannot take his photo. So I secretly took from his backview & while he was driving .... keke ;p

We went to Bar Stop at 6, Devonshire Road.

These were taken inside the pub using my handphone. Sorry for the poor quality. I don't have the courage to take out my camera. Shy loh... so weird if pple see me take photos of the food.... wahahahaha :D

From left :

1st pic : Our house pour, red wine... hubs had 3 glass while I had only 1 & last me for the whole night.

2nd pic : Vegetable Pizza, sorry that I only rem that I have to take photos when we have eaten half of it...I was starving & forgotten about taking pictures... so funny !!

3rd pic : Back dish was Prawns Batter with mayonnaise in wasabi paste. Hubs dun like wasabi, I had to finish all of it...haha ;)

Front dish was Chicken Picks, its actually fried chicken wings cut into small parts, so easy to feast on.

There is a live band "Acoustic Trip" singing 80s sentimental songs. The lead singer is a friend of hubs. His voice is beautiful. He even dedicated a song "More Than Words" by Extreme to us. He only performed on Wed nights, the rest of the days he will be running around HRC, Wala at HV & etc.

My eldest sis & her teenage daughter came to join us half way through. They were so late that hubs suspected they went to get us a gift. I told him its impossible... ...

But true enough, when we were about to leave. My sis told me she bought me a cake. I was surprised & thought it was really sweet of her, its actually a Blackberry Custard Mouse Towel wrapped like a cake. Totally fabulous. Thanks sis :)

1212

Today is a special day ...
He needs to work today so we only have some evening time to celebrate.
Can you guess what is the special occasion? ;p

Festive Cake

I was at TM yesterday & came across this beautifully wrapped cake freshly baked from Breadtalk. Its a limited edition just for the festive season. It captured my eyes instantly & I just got to bring it home. It cost S$6.80 by the way. A bit ex considered its a small cake. Just nice for a small family though. Its a sponge cake with raisin & cranberries. The cake is very soft & not too sweet. Really perfect I should say. I personally like it.
You may want to give it a try? :)

Thank you for your concern

Its been raining the whole of yesterday. I was all alone at home with the boys & helper. My head was so painful at 1pm, but the nearest clinic will only resume operation at 2pm. So I lie down on my bed. I woke up at 3.30pm. This is the time which I will usually have to wake up if I took a nap cos my helper need to prepare for dinner & I have to look after the kids. I played with them for a while only to realize that my tummy is fighting a hurricane inside me. I've got diarrhoea. I went thrice to the toilet. I knew instantly that I might have stomach flu. I had it once before about 5 yrs ago. The feeling was terrible. I knew that I have to go to the clinic no matter how heavy the rain was, but the clinic will be closing at 5pm & only resume at 6pm. Its 4.45pm that time. I don't think I could make it in time. So I waited to the dinner to be ready.

I had a few mouthful of rice before I felt pain on my stomach, I broke into cold shivers & nearly black out for a few secs. I dragged myself to the clinic, it was 10 mins walk but seems so far walking in the rain.

Doctor said that I've got slight fever & most probably is due to stomach flu or even food poisoning. The latter seems more appropriate since I've got fever. I din even realized that I've got fever.

I went home after that.

This morning, I still feel weak actually, stomach still feel bloated & pain after consuming food. It just feels terrible being so weak. I hope to get well soon so that I could bring the kids out. They are so bored this holiday :(

Thank you to those who has shown concern to me. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart :)

I'm feeling so weak... ...

I brought the boys out for dinner yesterday as promised, despite feeling unwell. Thanks to those who leave messages at my shout, msn or sms me. My chest felt tight, breathing difficulties & nausiness. I felt cold too. I actually wore a jacket out for dinner ... LOL :)
The chest pain & nausiness started on Monday while queuing up to redeem the S$299 Compaq notebook from Funan. I stand throughout the 2 hrs waiting for my turn. This notebook really came with a price for me now !! The best part is that I am still using my old notebook typing this cos all the photo editor s/w are inside here. The new notebook is still not fully functioning for me at the moment. I still need help to load a couple of s/w I need.

After dinner, brought the boys to the pasam malam near my house. We went directly to the kiddy rides. Bought S$10 worth of 6 rides (5+1 free ride). Each ride cost S$2, considered very expensive actually for a simple ride like that. Amos was excited & eager to tried too. So we chose a few easier ones for him to sit with Zac. This is the first time Amos sat on the this kinda rides, I could see that he is a bit tense, you saw both his hands holding tightly to the wheels all along? wahahahahahaa :D

I dragged myself home after that. Amos too was tired, he yawned on the way home. I left it all to the helper to clean up the boys which I usually will help out. I'm really too weak by then. I felt so comfy lying on my bed. Zac came into the room & I think he knew that I'm unwell. He just quiet and lie beside me. Its only 8pm then. He usually don't sleep that early, mebbe about 9-10pm. So imagine he kept tossing & turning on the bed. I ask him to sleep alone on his bed cos mummy is sick. Such a a sweet boy & he just left me alone to rest... ...

The next moment when I woke up. It was 7am in the morning. I cant imagine I slept for so long.

I've got a BAD sore-throat today. This is the worst thing I'm afriad off. It just makes my day even worst now... .... haiz !!

The chest pain is intermittent, its back again now & I could feel the nausiness.

I've got to visit the doctor when the rain stopped... ...

Nokia Family Day at Sentosa

We went to the Nokia Family Day at Sentosa last Sat.
It was so fun. I din expect to stay at the beach for so long.
We reached there around 10am & stayed all the way till 3pm.
You can imagine how 'roasted' we were after that. I am the most serious cos I stayed long hours at the beach to accompany the boys :):)
My shoulder were so pain & red after that. It had been a week now & the skin is starting to peel off now.

Me with my 2 boys. Zac cannot quite take the heat when we first reached there. Look at his disturbing face..... haha.... however, he started to warm up soon when he saw so many fun stalls as we walked along.... :)

We each took out turns at the spray paint tattoo.

1st pic : Zac & his fire soccer ball

2nd pic : me & my red rose

3rd pic : hubs & his tribal version

The 2 boys playing at the bubble & tried their luck at the fishing stall. Zac got some prize cos he managed to caught 3 fishes within a min... haha.. .of course with the help of hubs ;p

Hubs & I tried our luck at some stalls too. We are proud to say that we actually bring home lots of prizes. All the game stalls are free games by the way so long we have the game coupon.

Zac eating the chicken cheese sausages, Oh man.. its so yummy. I think our family had more than 10 of it. All food & beverages are free too !! :):)

The boys are seated at the kid's corner playing some arts while snacking away. Hubs & I quickly sneak off to roam around....hehe ;p

Free flow of can drinks... the coconut drink way too sweet & refreshing.... wow !!

We had our lunch sitting on the mat here!!

Zac's mood was at his highest on that bungy trampoline. I thought he will be scare & din want to let him try. My little boy was so adventurous, much braver than mummy (I'm scare of heights !!). He loves the thrill & I had to queue up 5 times for him to play that.... LOL :D

Hubs took pictures of me by the beautiful sea. What a nice scene !!

Can you see how red & burnt my shoulders & arm were? Ouccchhhh, its really painful !!

The tattoo was from the paint spray too... nice or not? I chose the pic myself !! :)

Such a fun-filled day! A very good applause to the organiser of the event. I bet Nokia spent a BOMB !! :D
