Naturally Beautiful - my eternal quest to look 18 forever....

after successfully healing those chapped lips with my trusty kiehl's lip balm #1, a pimple pops out on my nose.  just. great. i'm now walking around with a huge red blob masquerading as a breathing organ.  sigh.  this winter weather is taking its toll on my skin. as most of you know, i've been a faithful fan of shiseido products since the early 00's. i've moved from their 'the skincare' range which is for youthful skin (goodbye to that!) to the current 'white lucent' range which helps protect against awful uv rays. (the sun here is notorious!) have been pleased so far, but was recently severely tempted by the estee lauder ads on its brown lab-like bottles of 'advanced night repair'.  went out, got some, tried some.  haven't seen any dramatic changes thus far, but as the ad says, it's insurance against aging.  who says you can only insure houses, cars and jlo's butt?  you can buy insurance for your face too! if they ever come up with a product for the neck area, i'll be the first in line to purchase it. cheers to being forever 18!

here's an interesting article i read today about linguistics and cognition. i can already see you yawning.  have a read, it's really quite funny.  really.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.
