I must!

Posted on by

Its almost 2am.

Pretty insane (to me), to be staying up this late, doing absolutely nothing productive.

I used to have a reason to stay up late – to studyyyy and cram more information into my pathetic brain! But since its the summer vacations, I hope to be productive in whatever I should be doing. But look, its the 23rd of May already. More than 3 weeks past since the start of my vacations. WHAT HAVE I DONE?! I’m filled with guilt. :(

Hope I can get this lazy spells of myself and start getting things organized in my room! Have too much stuffs, really really too much. Clothes, stationeries, random stuffs, etc etc.

Okay, it shall not be a ‘hope’. I have to!!! =)

I’ll keep my engine going after breakfast with my folks tomorrow!

Pumpkins and (sweet) potatoes!

You might be wondering what on earth is my entry about.

Are you thinking of the Despicable Me movie, the minions? Bananas and potatoes? lolol.

 

Sorry to disappoint but its nothing of that sort! （　´∀｀）

 

Remember some weeks ago I blogged about the AdvanCleanse pills? You can read about these awesome pills here!

As I previously mentioned, I’ve always had extremely bad colon health because I hardly visit the toilet for ‘serious business’. My norm is usually like twice a week or something which is disturbing because we all know its good to defecate every single day to get rid of all the unwanted (so to speak) waste in our body.

Yes, since I’ve tried the AdvanCleanse pills, I know they work for me!

BUT. I think I’m the laziest person I’ve ever known. I’m even lazy of taking pills. Not just this, even supplements my mom bought for me and repeatedly reminded me to take!!! :( Bad habits die hard.

A lazy picture of Rilakkuma depicts my laziness perfectly :D

& So, these few weeks, while taking care of my momsie, cooking was part of taking care of her too, but with her guidance of course! (Cooking is a chore for me because I hate cooking (*´ｪ｀*))

Nothing amazing since all I’ve ventured into are simple dishes, like steaming fish, cooking porridge..

Cutting the long story short,

 

One of the best thing I got out of all these cooking is, that I realised what works best for my intestine and me!!!!

For all you know, I’d been spamming frozen yogurts lately, almost every weekend I would get to eat them, and my parents would even buy the take-home packs for me to eat at home. Initially it felt like they work on and off, but after awhile, I find that its becoming useless already. Now when I indulge in them, I feel guilty as if I’ve sinned because it makes me feel fat! Instead of helping me with my bowels! Decided to cut down on my intake of frozen yogurt now!

Besides, fruits like bananas which are known to be good for bowel movements don’t even work well for me. See, I told you!

 

So.. I was more than happy to realize that pumpkins and sweet potatoes are extremely good for my intestines!!! Most probably because of its high fibre content! ヽ(；▽；)ノ *waves pompom*

Until now, I noticed that everytime I ate them (either pumpkin or sweet potatoes), I’d be visiting the toilet soon after! WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT! ヾ（＠＾▽＾＠）ノ

If you’re wondering how to incoorporate them into your meals.. When cooking porridge, instead of plan porridge, I threw in some pumpkins and sweet potatoes! Or we just steam the sweet potatoes in some water and eat them as it is because its so sweet and nice! ლ(╹◡╹ლ) I’m sorrry thats all I can offer to help because I’m THAT good at cooking -____-”"

 

Look at the amount of sweet potatoes and pumpkin at home! hahaha

I just realized we have two whole pumpkins instead of just this one captured here! Must cook the pumpkins these few days else they’ll spoil soon!

 

If you have bad bowel movements like me, why not try pumpkins and sweet potatoes and see if they work for you?! I really hope it helps! ;)

 

 

I’m so happppy I shall have better intestines from now on! ^_^

Whats in my May BellaBox + $20 Elizabeth Arden voucher give away!

Hello girlies~

Evident on my entry title, its gonna be about my May BellaBox!

I actually heard about Bellabox for quite awhile already, but I’ve never really gotten down to the website to find out more. Saw some really nice reviews and products on blogs and all.

Until one day early this month, I decided to try my luck! (I believe you get some of the items randomly right?)

So just some information for you girls who’re not familiar, for S$15 a month, you get a box like this sent to your house! :) & Every month they specifically feature products of different brands. They have different kinds of ‘membership’. I got myself a one time Monthly membership! So I only paid for May’s Bellabox.

My first BellaBox (May)

 

I was really excited when I went to the post office to collect my parcel, and realising its my May Bellabox! (Its so annoying the postmen always comes to deliver stuffs when no one is at homeeeee!! pffffft. >.<)

 

But, I got a tad disappointed when I saw my box…………….

 

Whats in my May Bellabox?

Okay so thats the stuffs I got in my BellaBox. (L-R, top to bottom)

1. CandyDoll makeup base sample

2. Elizabeth Arden Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules (intensive treatment for Face and Throat)

3. Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment (Therapeutic oil for all hair types)

4.Cellogist Youth Guard Cream

5. Essential Nuance Airy Shampoo and Conditioner

 

Generally, I was disappointed, but

I was especially upset with the Essential Nuance Airy Shampoo and Conditioner! T____T

since I was looking forward to exploring more products for my skin!!

Also, Essential shampoo isn’t a brand that is foreign to us at all and I’ve been using their shampoo for a good 1-2 years already! :(

 

Am probably gonna let my mom use the youth guard cream after I try it once!

 

I guess I won’t be getting any more Bellaboxes until I feel like trying my luck again! :O

 

OH yes!!

Anyone of you wants to get anything from Elizabeth Arden? I’m giving away the $20 voucher you see above!

The voucher validity is till 30th June 2012, so act fast so that I can mail it to anyone of you asap! :D

Because I believe,

Just as I was about to start typing something for this entry,

I just picked up a call on behalf of my mom because she was on the line, and so her friend who knew I was from SP and now in NUS started chatting with me because her daughter was also in SP. She wanted me to meet her daughter and teach her some “tips” on how to do well. My mom already told me once about this and darn, she really chanced onto the opportunity to talk to me and ask me about it. :/ && She kept going on and on and I got a little impatient so I cut her off and told her I’ll get my mom to return her call. Out of angst, I slammed the phone a little loud and I’m feeling really guilty about it right now. I hope she dropped the line earlier than I did so that she couldn’t hear the slam on my side. I didn’t mean to be rude!!! :(

I understand her worry as a mom, but I felt she was being a little too paranoid, really, which was why I felt impatient. I hope she is not pressuring her daughter too much because that sucks. Parents should really stop comparing their own kids to their friends’ kids, it isn’t healthy comparison at all. The best would be to use them as examples to motivate the kids, but never, ever compare.

Boy am I grateful my parents didn’t bother how I studied. As long as they knew I did my best, they had no qualms about it. :’)

 

 

Back to the initial purpose of this entry! All’s good now, I’m chilled! ^^

I like the freedom of typing whatever I want, whenever I like. Which is why I liked the idea of keeping a blog. But somehow, I’m still restrained.

Truth be told, I like reading blogs where the authors occasionally talks a little about their personal life, besides all the happenings/events/advertorials. It feels less ‘commercialized’ with a tinge of personal touch! But never too much because it gets boring and more than often I find myself just scrolling down instead of taking the effort to read! D: I’m lazy like that.

&Anyway,

Its going to be another post with random photos taken randomly! (◕‿◕✿)

Was just looking through my iPhoto, and saw some photos taken during the brother’s graduation in April! :)

My gege graduated! :DDDD

 

Little brother :)

Can anyone enlighten me why is it so difficult to get someone to cut his hair?!? Absolutely abhors the long girlyyy hair of the lil brother and no one seems to be able to talk sense into him.

CONGRATULATIONS GE GE! Though its slightly more than a month since you officially graduated :P

 

CONGRATULATIONS TOO G :D

 

& Some time last week, or the week before, I went to KL with my cousin to get some stuffs done!

After we settled the matters on our side, my (our) auntie brought us around One Utama Shopping Mall to shop. AND EAT :D  Didn’t buy much but I enjoyed eating! lolol.

Dragon I restaurant! ^^

Its a chinese cuisine restaurant in KL. Apparently there’s quite a few branches there if you spot the malls ;) It was like the Din Tai Fung we have in Singapore but with alot more varieties! Yumyum. My favourite xiaolongbaozxzx.

And we stopped by Chili’s for tea break/early dinner!

Om nom nom. Chili's in KL :D

It was my first time dining at Chili’s! I’m so going back to the outlets in Singapore! ^^ ITS TOO CHEESY AND YUMMY!!!

Idk whats the name of this because it was my cousins and auntie who ordered! But it was yumz~

 

with my cousins and auntie :)

I look hideous in the photo though :( Too tired because I woke up at 3ish-am and embarked on our journey to KL at 4am. Extremely tiring experience >.<

Absolutely filters-free. Taken from the car!!! Mad love this photo! :DD

Thats all for KL!

 

I think it was some day last week as well,

Salted egg crabs nomnom.

Daddy probably had some cravings for crabs so I agreed to share it with him because momsie couldn’t eat seafood yet. Since it was only two of us to one crab, I had to eat so much of it and as a result super alot of the salted egg gravy because it was too yummy!! Fattening 101%. D:

 

These days I’ve been eating alot, its bad! :( My appetite is like that of a lion, boohoooo!! As much as I’m determined to melt the calories, I’m so affected by my ginomous appetite, I can never get enough of food. -___-”" Thank goodness I found the motivation and determination and I’d been going for evening walks/jogs with daddy and sometimes mommy! :DD This gotta stay, and the appetite gotta go away.

Anyhoos, gotta run, its evening time! ;)
