2018 3rd Quarter Empties - Skin care, hand care and make up
We are done with 3 quarters of 2018, and once again its October! Other then being my birthday month, I wanted to celebrate the products I’ve emptied in the past few months and also share what has been replaced. It is so satisfying to see what products others have finished up, what they love and if they will ever purchase them again. So lets get into it!

[Review] Etude House Double Lasting Foundation & Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh
Finding the perfect shade and foundation formulation that fits every season has always been difficult. There are different undertones and skin types like combination skin to take into consideration. I’ve posted on instagram a few months ago on separate occasions that my skintype is mostly oily, and have favourited the Etude House Double Lasting Foundation and Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filtr Primer. I…
CosRX review - AHA/BHAs
To be very honest, i haven’t heard much about AHA and BHA until three years ago from Paula’s Choice. It sounded fancy to me, all science and all (the one thing other then math I’m bad at). Im turning 24 at the end of this year, i still have acne that focuses on my chin due to both hormonal and digestive issues. Of course fixing my eating habits is the best way, environmental circumstances helps…
Glow in Thailand Retreat - August 9 - 13th 2017
Social Zen Retreat, created by a friend of mine from Les Roches named Alaine, focuses on the journey to wellness and making new friends from around the world. From yoga, contemporary dance classes (that’s her speciality by the way), to eating healthy, and many more that what Singaporeans consider as “Lepak” activities that we are not able to enjoy in the busy city is what she and her group of…
Lo and behold, i have chosen Events as my specialisation course for my final semester of my degree. This semester so far is the most difficult in terms of mental and physical. Planning out an event and its logistics are relatively easy due to the huge support we have received from multiple individuals, like teachers and external sponsors. The most difficult ones were working as a group, due to the multiple clashes of personalities and ideas everyone had. There were two extreme side of personality, those who has strong ideas and opinion vs. the “Stay in the background” side.
With the stronger personality and ideas, they won’t take no or an alternative as an answer where as the “stay in the background”s had to run around trying to make things happen. But after this event organisation has happened, i have realised many things in life which gave me different perspective in life.

Indonesian Stand
Indonesian group 😀
The biggest realisation for me is how we as people think. Our mindset, for a lack of better word. As university students especially having multiple experiences and opportunities in our life, many of us are very self entitled. The attitude based on “Everything i wish and i want can be done” idea kept reoccuring. Even when something we wish cannot be done, instead of listening to advice from experienced people and looking for alternatives, many still wanted the impossible original to continue. The “expectation vs. reality” concept did not dawn into our minds until the event was over. After speaking to teachers and having some time to think about what has happened, we all need to realise on how fortunate we all are for the support we have received to make the event happen. Yes sure, this event was the most disorganised the school had possibly witness so far but there are many we can learn from of this experience. Learning to be practical, to listen, to communicate, to think a few steps ahead, to have back up plans, to be patient, if i have to name a few.
Instead of focusing on the negativities, i would like to remind myself of taking some down time in the future let myself think and bring out the things i have learnt and focus on them so the next few steps i can grow better as an individual. The things i have learnt can be forwarded to future events and not mess up much.

Reliving the hospitality life
Initially, I chose hospitality as my university degree is because i believe everyone having some sort comfortable daily lif, a special memory to be created if you will. There are unexpectedness and at times you have to adjust accordingly is something I would like to challenge myself with. After two years in this line of work, I start to forget my core and reason of why hospitality was my choice!…
Asia Haul - Skin Care and Make Up
Hi everyone! Just to explain why I have been missing in action for so long. Since i have been living in Switzerland for the past two years, I have barely any time for blogging, not to mention the ability to attend Kpop concerts and events any longer. Usually, Kpop groups only visit the bigger cities such as Paris and London. No one goes to Switzerland for any concert, so i have not been able to…
