Pudding's Joy: 2017

再見

10:00 PM

終於結束了..

一年就這樣過去了..

有沒有後悔？

也許有吧...

可是如果沒有經歷過的話,

我可能認識他們,

可能不會學到那麼多..

J 在這裡的相處時間最短，可是教會了我很多事..

我上任以來，他一直告訴我很不樂觀的那一面..

可是起初，我真的不明白?

事實根本沒有那麼嚴重..

現在終於看清了，終於明白了..

Z 是我認識最久的學長..

雖然他不是最好的榜樣，做的事也不一定全部都對..

可是我知道 ,

他是真心在乎我，真心關心我的..

E 是我的同學..

沒有她，這個學期我一定完蛋!

真的..

感恩，感謝!

沒有她，我的人生無依無靠..

還有 J，沒有他 ..

我可能早已瘋了..

常常聽我的埋怨和哭訴..

謝謝你了!

雖然他自己有的忙，可是永遠忘不了我..

永遠都會問我 ,＂最近還好嗎？＂..

有點不捨得，可是還是決定放下了..

我必須自私一點 ..

我必須為自己著想 ..

對不起 ..

我不知道我會不會原諒我自己這一次 ..

不過拿住這杯水好久了，累了 ..

是改放手了..

謝謝你教會我如何自愛..

再見了.

JB Day Trip

Beauty 11:59 PM

A & I decided to head in to JB to get ourselves pampered..

Okay more like I wanted to go in & he accompanied..

Parents decided to join us & we went in early to avoid any jams..

1st stop was to grab some breakfast at McDonald's cos we only had like 15 minutes before the manicure appointment..

And as usual, I stuck to the same nude-ish tones..

This time with a tinge of white!

Pedi was a tinge of pink to the usual maroon..

After which, we headed to KSL for lunch..

We wanted to have the Shanghai dim sum but there was a long queue..

And since our hair appointment was in a hour's time, we decided to eat next door..

It was a duck rice restaurant, and I would say its not too bad?

Cute little bowl of rice for RM 90 cents!

After we had lunch, it was hair cut time!

This time round, I didn't went back to the one I went during Chinese New Year..
Though the hair stylists there were cute..

The service at this salon was out of my expectations!

Even though there were other salons with a lower price,

I would gladly say I will come back because of the service!

Hehehes..

A was happy with his cut too!

They will provide you with this robe even if when A was just having a cut..

It's like those sleeping bedtime satin robe that protects your clothes from chemicals..

I got that from the previous hair dye,

my bleach dripped onto my top and there was a brown spot on my black top..

So A just had a cut while I cut off some load and gave it a fresh coat of color..
There were actually drawers with keys but we didn't use them..
We just left our bags on the table top haha..

So.. this was the color before I had my dye..

Taken the night before..

And here is the after..

(Pardon the messy background..)

TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!

Even though the curls were set,

I guess I love the overall color!

The bleached ends turned out more obvious then the top..

Which is like an ombre feel?

The color I picked was violet..

But its not the strong purple,

its more of a mix of bluish purple..
Loving it!
Hoping that the color would stay :P

Random Date with Burgers

Food & Drinks 12:15 AM

Alrighty~

So we were at Yishun Northpoint and decided to have our lunch at Burger Up!

They have 2 outlets, Yishun & Punggol..

The price wise was close to McDonald's and a little on the steep side..

The fries we ordered was salted-egg fries..

It seems as though the sauce was not enough?

But after eating, it was just nice I guess..

Overall, a good try apart from the usual fastfood!

The patties are juicer (or oiler >.< I don't know)

It's a local chain so do support if you happen to be nearby

and craving for burgers!

And as we all know, Gongcha has turned into LiHo..

The boy wanted to try and here we have it..

Not that I'm brand loyal, but I still prefer Gongcha..

So sadly, I'm never gonna be paying for LiHo (unless the boy wants it..)

Many rave about the cheese drink?

But it's really just, meh for me..

Hope Gongcha comes back soon~

April Skin Turn-up Color Treatment Review

Beauty 12:58 PM

So recently this product has appeared many times on Facebook..

And curious, I decided to give it a try since my hair was pretty dry & yellow..

Here we have the April Skin Turn-up Color Treatment!

Product is made in Korea and I've got mine from Qoo10!

There are a couple of sellers selling the same item but this is the cheapest I've found :P

I was contempalating between Red & Pink..

And I decided to get Red in the end..

Inside, there is 1 tube as seen in picture above, gloves and cape..

So here's a picture of my hair before the treatment:

(Pardon the hair tie mark >.<)

Hair color at this stage was after:
- Bleached twice + Blue Dye

- Liese Creamy Foam Hair Dye in Pinkish Brown

Most of the colors have faded due to the bleach but some brown did stay..

Hair treatment smells really good, like a fruity scent I would say..

No chemical smell at all!

Just for reference, my hair is around mid-back and 1 tube was not enough..

I didn't want to use another tube so I just made do with what I have..

Anyway~

My hair turned out really really smooth!

I love it!

It's been awhile since it's sooooo smooth!

The only thing was.. I tried to rinse off for a long time but the water was still pink..
I eventually just squeze dry and wrap a towel..

*Note: Towel will be stained!

And here's the after:

The color turns out to be a little more pink then red..

But I totally love it..

I was not expecting and not really wanting a ruby red kinda red..

So after 1 week of daily hair washing, the color faded till it became like this:

I wouldn't say all the red is gone?
But it turned into a subtle rose gold/pinkish which was something I really really love!
Considering this is not a dye, I think it has done a rather good last job.

Planning the 21st - Part 2

joieyshXXI 12:12 AM

Okay, I'm back for Part 2 - Catering , Dessert Table & Deco!

Catering

I've ordered my catering from Neo Gardens..

So I ordered Neo's Simplicity Set A for 50 pax,

it is a 9 course meal at $13.90 per pax (w/GST).

*Do note that there is a minimum pax of 40!

The menu includes:

Yang Chow Fried Rice

Thai Pineapple Rice

Curry Vegetables

Breaded Fish Fillet with Tartar

Honey Chicken

Sotong You Tiao

Fried Mini Char Siew Pau

Ice Jelly with Cocktail

Fruit Punch

As I have more than 45 pax, I was given the option to have 2 mains (rice or noodle).

As my grandaunt was preparing fried mee siam & soon kueh,

I decided to have 2 rice instead.

And if you are wondering why I'm short of 1 dish,

I moved the mini custard puff out to my dessert table.

Cake & Dessert Table

The service provided was really good!

I placed my order on Wednesday night.

By Thursday morning, I got a call to confirm my order.

My salesperson, Veness, was also very nice to ask if I needed any balloons,

BBQ food, ice or add on any sides for my catering.

The day before my party, they also sent us a text to inform us the

name & contact person of the deliveryman.

Dessert Table

So at the right side (the plastic cover) is the mini custard puff from the catering.

Brownies in front are self-baked.

Cake was ordered from F.A.A.T Cakes.

(https://www.instagram.com/faatcakes/)

The flavors I've ordered were mango or peach

(but many said it tasted like banana)

with buttercream for the top,

dark chocolate with buttercream for the bottom tier.

This is to cater to many of my elderly family members who don't like to take chocolate.

The cake was supposed to come with fondant lettering,

however it turns out a bit too small for the cake.

The baker informed me in the morning &

I managed to buy the "Happy Birthday" candles as replacement instead.

Cake was delivered to me, so I'm glad I didn't have to run everywhere.

Overall, I was very happy with their service!

The cake was very well received though some did say it was a tad too sweet.

But it was a buttercream cake so I do understand if sugar was needed.

Decorations

Fairy Lights x 2 : Bought from Bangkok at $4 each (or less?)
Wine Cart : Dad bought from some wine shop
Baby Breath : Sponsored by my senior/OGL, Z

Ribbons : Taobao (5cm Width for Deco) (1.5cm Width for Banner)
Name Banner & Instagram Printouts : DIY using Powerpoint
Balloons : Harvest Well Enterprise

Glitter Pens : Taobao

Guest Book : Taobao

Glass Bottles : Soy Bean & Beer Bottles

So here's a sample of one of the Instagram printout:

Most of my Taobao items were purchased at least 1 month prior to my party.
That is because in the event the item is not suitable or is not what you are looking for,
you still have some time to look for alternatives!

Alright, that's all!
I hope I didn't miss out anything..
That's the end of how I planned my 21st..

Planning the 21st - Part 1

joieyshXXI 8:29 PM

Today's post will be all about planning my 21st birthday!

Woots!

Just had my 21st birthday party a couple of weekends ago &

I decided to write about it while it's still fresh in my memory :P

I'm not paid for this post but just sharing my reviews & experience.

This is my 2nd time planning a 21st as last year I helped my boyfriend planned his 21st.

In this post, I'll be sharing about the accommodation I was staying at during the 3D2N..

Okay, so basically, my aunt has helped me book Aloha Loyang.

The unit we have gotten would be the Pool Terrace.

It comes with 1 common toilet,

4 en-suite bedrooms, 2 upstiars, 2 on the ground floor.

There is also free Wi-Fi in the whole house.

Room Tip: As my unit (N.o 9), was situated beside the utility room,

it gets abit noisy in the morning when they do their housekeeping stuff.

Here's a quick house tour:

Yard

BBQ Area (Sheltered)

Dining Area

Common Toilet

Kitchen

It comes fully equipped.

The Living Room (With fan & air-con)

En-suite Toilet

Bedroom with 2 single beds

Bedroom with Queen-sized bed

On each level there would be a twin sharing and a queen-sized bed.

There are other units available should you not want the double story unit.

However, the pool terrace is much nearer to the entrance and swimming pool.

If you wish to have a party, these would be tiny details to consider.

The place was very clean & newly renovated.

However, the floors were pretty dusty even though they have been washed prior our check-in.

We washed and mopped the floors again ourselves as we really couldn't take it.

When checking-in, there will be a list of items in the unit you will need to check through.

Upon check-out, a staff will check the items again and if the number doesn't tally,

you will be charged a certain amount.

I have read online that some people did mention that if the bedsheets were stained with just sweat,

they have been charged like $18 or so?

So just to play safe, do not dirty their sheets or towels.

And don't use towels as floor mats, there are floor mats given.

They will also charge you if you do so.

I guess this post is long enough & I shall share more regarding my catering as well as my dessert table in the next post!

Day 579 - Bash Sponsorship Dinner

Food & Drinks 11:00 PM

Yay~ Though this week is a pretty hectic week..

Bash Sponsorship Team managed to meet for dinner!

Wohoo!

It's been a long time since we've met up..

So we went to Tanuki Raw @ Orchard Central..

So, J, R, V, WH, A, A, JJ & I were there..

Sadly, C, QH & S were unable to make it..

And here's our food~

There were 2 Salmon Kaisen ($16), didn't have any close up shot..

Superstar Roll ($12.90)

Foie Gras Truffle Yakiniku ($23)

Truffle Yakiniku ($18)

Basicially the difference for the last 2 is just that one has foie gras, the other doesn't.

The portioning is good, the beef slices were very tender.
You don't get any overcooked beef.
The egg was just right, personally, I love the yolk when it's slightly cooked.

It was a really good meal & the ambiance was fantastic.

They have 2 outlets:

Tanuki Raw at Kapok

111 Middle Road

01-05 National Design Centre

Singapore 188969

Tanuki Raw at Orchard Central

181 Orchard Road

#04-01 Orchard Central

Singapore 238896

Unfortunately, they do not take reservations.
There was a queue when we arrived at 7pm-ish.

But one of us (A),
was early so she managed to get a seat for our large group.

Thankful for the meet-up, hope to catch up with you guys again soon.

Day 576 - Liese Creamy Foam Hair Color Review

Beauty 11:30 PM

After a long month, I'm finally writing again..

My blue hair faded, leaving the ends with the bleach..

Not that it's not nice but.. I think it makes me look really unfriendly..

So I decided to give it a fresh dye..

So the color I've used was 1PK Pinkish Brown..

Before you start, it is important that you have items such as vaseline,
tissue & a old t-shirt just in case (though for Liese, it's actually drip-free)..

For me, I'll use a trash bag or plastic to wrap around my old shirt..
Reason being, I've read reviews saying that the roots then to show up really bright..
And previously when I did my 1st dye using Liese Bubble Hair Color,
I've always dyed the ends rather than the roots 1st..
Therefore, I'll sure to stain my shirt if I do use a plastic around me..
You are suppose to do an allergy test 48 hours prior to the dye..

*Tip: Do not wash your hair 24 to 48 hours prior coloring.

The oil can help reduce sensitivity & damage from the dye.

So basically, pour N.o 1 into N.o 2.

Cover the cap back & tilt N.o 2 gently upside down.

DO NOT shake it rigorously else the foam will not dispense well.

Next, squeeze and apply onto your hair.
It's that simple!

At the back of the box, it will show the color that suppose to show up.

However, I have bleached hair (bleached twice to be exact)..

My hair actually looked like that..

And after coloring, I got to say it was a pretty good job, even though the bleach was there..

After:

Not a very good photo..

But.. The color was even & turned out great!

Edit: However, after a couple of washes, the brown did fade (due to the bleach I guess)..

But overall, I'm very happy with the results :)

Day 554

2:13 AM

I'm so tired..
So sick of this..
You don't even try to understand..
It's always the case..
All you do is raise it..
I can raise it too?
But I choose not to, because I choose to respect..
But have I been respected?
Maybe this was a wrong choice?
Maybe this was a bad idea?
Maybe it was a mistake to begin with..
I'm so tired..
I'm out of this game..

Day 539 - A Day @ JB

Food & Drinks 11:30 PM

Soooo.. Today E, F & I decided to head to JB to do some beauty work for Chinese New Year..

We headed off to do our manicures at Holiday Plaza..

Turns out E doesn't want to do and only F & I did..

F did a express manicure while I did classic mani & pedi..

Pedi was just a reddish maroon color while here's my mani:

Hehe.. Super happy with it..

Though that was a little price increase due to CNY but still worth it..

We headed to KSL for lunchie..

The staff at the manicure place recommended the lunch place & we decided to give it a try..

They are famous for their XO duck & roast pork..

So here's what I had,

XO Duck noodle + Char Siew (RM10.60)

And my ribeena soda (RM4.50)..

After which we decided to go do our hair..

And boy it took a good 4 hours..

F permed her hair while E rebonded hers..

I got mine bleached & colored..

Price was good..

By the time we were done, we headed back to JBCC & got our dinner at Manhattan Fish Market..

Left JB at almost 9pm..

By the time we were back, we were so exhausted..

But, it was a good day & I'm glad we had the trip together..

Summary of Milk & Honey Toppings

Food & Drinks 9:58 PM

Strawberries & Mangoes
Outlet: OneKM Mall (Haig Road)

In general, a safe combination for those who do not have a sweet tooth.

Red Velvet Cake & Matcha Green Tea Cake
Outlet: JEM (Jurong East)

Both cakes felt very dry and flavour of the cake not strong enough.
Despite eating with the yogurt, cake still tasted pretty dry.

Choco Chip Crumble & Honey Almond Granola
Outlet: Bukit Panjang Plaza

Choco Chip Crumble was quite hard and was crushed into slightly bigger than bite size.
Tip: Bite the biscuit 1st before having the yogurt
Personally like the chocolate chips.

Honey Almond flavour was good, overall a good crunch for yogurt.

Popping Boba, Blueberries & Mangoes
Outlet: Bukit Panjang Plaza

Popping Boba was of orange flavor. Overall a good match with the yogurt.

Blueberries & Mangoes, safe combination if you're trying for the first time.
