SKIN FOOD

I walked passed a store name "SKIN FOOD" today at Jurong Point. At that moment, I was wondering it must be something similar to the "Body Shop" concept. The minute I walked in, I felt that I was walking into a organic food shop. The wall color and the products color were all in pastal colour...very comfortable. I saw all the products were very well displayed and there were also tags in front of every single displayed products. I saw a few items which drew my attention. One of them was the SKIN FOOD Foot Care Scrub. Most of the items are at affordable price. Lately, my feet are quite dry. Even with the lotion, it does not seems helping, hence, I decided to buy this, to scrub off the dead skin on my feet, before applying any cream. I did not take any pictures in the shop, but i went through their website the minute I came back from my lunch. To my surprise....I found 1 item that I am very familiar with. Hubby is also using one of their product, the "Yogurt Mask"... : ) I thought he bought from Body shop...but it was from SKIN FOOD...

I had also bought myself the 'Black Bean Nose Pack'. According to the sales girl, alot of her customers came back to buy more of these. She commented it is better than any other nose pack products in the market, especially the 'B...re'. I do not want to mention the product's name here, as it was her comment, not mine... : ) There are 7 pieces of Nose Pack inside. According to her, if we do not have lotsa black heads, just use this once a week. As usual, use it together with our cleanser and toner. The sales girl mentioned that it is effective in clearing all the black heads and also preventing the black heads from coming back. After hearing her recommendation, I decided to get a pack to try it out.

After the lunch, before heading back, I managed to get my new pair of training shoes for my aerobic class, which I plan to start next week. There was a 40% discount for the Nike, perfect fit pants. It was quite worth the $$.... I was so excited....hee...

After work, hubby and I had reminded each other on the "Cold Storage" stickers that we had accumulated on the groceries that we have been buying. Largely contributed by the purchase of some tibits, chocolates, biscuits, abalone and some other stuff to wrap into hampers we bought last year ....By spending S$30, you will be given a stamp/sticker. We accumulated 42 stamps...

We had a simple dinner together yesterday night. We just cooked some instant noodles using this newly redeemed cookware!! After dinner, hubby rented the movie, "Transporter 3". We missed this great movie in cinema the last round, hence, the moment we spotted this movie at the "CINENOW" kiosk. Immediately we went for it...No popcorn...but we had the movie with ruffles...heehee...

Since, we were at cold storage yesterday, we went to the pet shop once again....as this sat, we are going to bring back baby bobby....we bought him a pet dish... According to hubby, he is now in his 4th week...

4 more days...arrival of Baby Bobby...

A few months ago, hubby was on this mission, in looking for a Maltese puppy...he wanted to have a pet so badly. He went searching high and low on the Internet on this particular breed of puppy. At first, I did not allow him to have a pet at home, as I was a little concern over the hygiene and also cleanliness at home. Hubby mentioned that he will ensure that our love hut will be kept clean even with "Bobby"...

Why Bobby?? Hubby shared that he used to have a dog named Bobby during his childhood days. But Bobby was stolen by someone back then. He was sadden by it a few days. They had another dog after Bobby, but was again stolen, from then, hubby didn't own any dog anymore...

These few weeks, we went to some pet shop, to look around on the things that we should be ready, for the arrival of "Bobby"....To our surprise...having a puppy is like having a baby too...we saw the milk bottles for puppies....milk powder ....and lotsa puppy stuffs which are equivalent to having a baby.... : )

I still could not imagine my love hut with a white puppy still...wonder what will my life be after having Bobby...."there you go...another commitment".....but i hope he will enjoy staying with us...and he would be a good dog...

I was searching some of the picture of Maltese puppy these few days and I found some very cute pictures of Maltese.

The below images are the growing progress of a Maltese puppy...from 1 week to 5 weeks old...Amazing

From left to right: (1st week, 2nd week)

From left to right & to bottom: (3rd week, 4th week & 5th week)

Wonder how baby Bobby looks like.....we shall await for his arrival....18th April 09...(will then upload more of his pictures)...

Family Dinner with Aunt Janet cum belated get together celebration with Tristant..

We had a very belated celebration with Trist yesterday as a family. As Aunt Janet came visiting us for a week, hence we had a mini dinner gathering together cum belated Birthday celebration for Trist. Mum promised Trist that she wants to treat him to some good food. Hence, Trist found this restaurant at Carnhill. We went to the Garuda Padang Cuisine (by Tung Lok) at Carnhill. I managed to take some pictures of the restaurant. The food image posted just right below here, was from the internet. I like the spacious environment over at the branch at Carnhill, unlike the one at Vivo City, is not as spacious as the one at Carnhill.

Garuda Padang - Cairnhill

Tel : +65 6735 4111 Fax : +65 6735 4222

Some of the pictures I took at the restaurant...I like the layout of the restaurant and also the lightings they used....it was very welcoming, I felt.

This was the ceiling lamp we saw...and we were quite facinated by this display...

I only managed to get some pictures of a "couple couple" style. Should have gotten the group pictures.

From (Left to right: Jeniffer with granny, and Granny with Aunt Janet)

The married couples (mum & dad, and of coz me and hubby)

We love the fried chicken, yum yum....Trist also got a red packet from Aunt Janet.

Food Review:

We paid around S$22+++ per person for this ala carte buffet. I would say that it was quite worth the price, but the food was so so only....the food were quite salty....

Is a good place for gathering of friends, but if you would like to have a very good spread of peranakan food, I would say there are some other places that serves better spread....example the "Blue Ginger"....

Trist...Birthday....7th April 09

Is Tristant's Birthday today!! He is four years younger apart from me....My beloved younger brother...I'm so proud of him..He was my playmate throughout our childhood days....He was very good in his studies and do not have to fret about how he fared in his studies.. He made it into UOL (University of London) as a distance learning course in Singapore. Pray that he will do well once again..and fulfil his "Wish" in UOL.... *WINK*WINK*


As usual, we will have lunch together during lunch time with dad and Adrian...Me and hubby went to "The Icing Room" to get Trist a Birthday Cake at Jurong Point ..... I managed to take some nice picture in that cake shop....

We decided to settle our lunch at Swensen (1 for 1 Lunch Deal)....we ordered 2 main courses and another 2 main courses were free....same for the side dish too....

Pictures of our ordered main courses....Forgot to take hubby's set (BBQ Chicken)

Note for my brother:

Trist....I wish you well....and more than wealth...blessings, good health, stay young and caring always....you are our star in our family....do well in your studies....May you find someone that can share your joy, laughter, troubles, happiness, $$$ and of coz many many things in your life soon!! Keep on keeping on....You really have a brave spirit, especially that part when you stationed in Algeria alone for months, without anybody beside of you taking care of you, even you were still green in doing business....love you...

Sunday Afternoon Tea...

After Church Service, we came back home. Hubby was abit tired. He had not have his lunch...I remember I bought 8 choc muffins from ASIAN BAKES at "The Central" shopping Mall. Zhen & I were sampling some of the baked cakes at the cake shop. The Pandan and orange flavored sponge cake were not so nice, but the minute we tried the chock chip muffins, we both liked it. Hence, we bought back some muffins for our husband.

While hubby was taking a bath, I made him a cup of coffee with heated up muffins...
