Snippets of My Life: Part 2

Jacelyn — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 04:00:04 +0000

Merry Christmas! Another year gone, another year older. Here’s part 2 on what I’ve been up to recently!

2PM Hands Up Asia Tour

Omo~ finally got to see my favorite Kpop boy group 2PM! Totally love their music and dance styles. Their songs are super catchy! Didn’t managed to go for their hi-5 event though cos it’s frigging far and falls on a weekday fml!

The finale was awesome! Both Taecyeon and Chansung started taking off their tops lol! One lucky girl managed to grab the tee that Taecyeon threw towards her. She was like screaming at the top of her lungs hahaha! I think I might do that too if Wooyoung threw his. I hope I’ll be able to see them again!

Mnet Asian Music Awards

This has got to be the best concert I have ever went! All thanks to my friend, I managed to purchase a Pen B ticket. I went to stalk them the day before but only managed to see Park Bom lol. Missed the chance to see Park Ji Hoo, who happened to be at MBS too.

On the day itself, I went to queue with my friend at 630am. Her friends started queuing up 2 days before the concert so we went to take over them. Super tiring and lethargic and the attitude of the staff didn’t help much. They were extremely rude and treated us like juveniles. Anyway, we were made to wait under the hot sun for more than 12 hours. You know how frustrating it is when some idiots rather go by the book than using their pathetic brains to think.

Come to think of it, everything’s worth the wait! We were standing less than 2m away from the artistes’ sitting area! Look at da awesome pictures I’ve taken!

Unfortunately, the security stopped us from taking photos 20 minutes to the show. Damn double standard! But still, I went home feeling extremely happy. Wished 2PM and Big Bang were there though!

Power Plate at Selective Fitness

Selective Fitness is a specialized boutique Power Plate fitness studio located at one of the shophouses along Tanjong Pagar Road. BFF and I were invited for the trial classes to experience their intense workout. What’s so unique is their Power Plate machines which vibrates throughout the workout and helps to improve blood flow and tone the muscles.

We were like screaming for mercy almost every lesson lol. At times, I couldn’t even feel my arms or legs anymore. With the help from Chris, the personal trainer, I managed to push myself to the limit. At the end of each lesson, my legs start to ache and it gets worse the next day. The aches took a few days to go away and I can feel that my muscles are more toned! I’d probably need more lessons to see an improvement.

Check out their Facebook page and sign up for a free trial!

Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2012

It’s coming to the end of 2011! I went to Suntec City for the wishing sphere project organized by Marina Bay. This year, 20,000 of the wishing spheres, all marked with the hand-written wishes made by Singaporeans, will be floated onto the waters and become come part of a visual arts installation at Marina Bay – the Bay of Hope and Light.

I’ve penned down my wishes! Anyone heading down to Marina Bay for the countdown?

Here’s the outfit I wore that day. *sucks in tummy*

Have been really busy these days and couldn’t find the time to blog more. Wish I can be a full time blogger lol! Anyway, remember to join my giveaway!

Snippets of My Life: Part 1

Jacelyn — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:30:08 +0000

Inspired by BFF, I’m penning a bite-size blog post on the activities which I’ve been busy with recently. Another reason is I have way too many backlogs to clear :x

Halloween at Universal Studios

My photo editing not bad right? Spooky eh? This year’s Halloween was spent at Universal Studios. It’s my 3rd time there lol! I swear this win hands down all other Halloween events I’ve been to.

Walk along the eerie streets and some random undead will scream at you. The haunted house was the scariest of all and we had to queue for 45 minutes. It was worth the wait though. There were like dead bodies hanging in mid-air and you can’t avoid body contact at all fml.

Journey of Indulgence with Haagen-Dazs

Thanks to Smith, I got onboard the Haagen-Dazs’s Journey of Indulgence with BFF, CCB and Tiphanie. There were free flow of Haagen-Dazs ice cream, champagne and chocolates. *yummeh* What a lovely experience!

BonJapan @ Orchard Central

Last year, I attended BonJapan’s media event held at SMU. Nearly a year later, they had expanded and opened a retail store at Orchard Central! What you can find in the store are exclusive snacks, soft toys, figurines and lots more! I love the kids beer and edamame pie soup, damn unique and really yummy! Check out BonJapan at Orchard Central #06-15/16/17!

Ice Cream Making Workshop at Tom’s Palette

Jacelyn — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:00:03 +0000

Woohoo! I went back to Tom’s Palette for an ice cream workshop organized by Elfaine from TheSampleStore! I never knew ice cream making could be that easy. Anyway, Tom’s Palette had expanded to almost three times! It certainly looked much more impressive!

All the raw ingredients can be found easily from supermarkets. Here’s a step by step guide on making your own ice cream at home!

And it’s all done! When I first saw the ice cream, I was like WOAH! Darn proud of myself lol! After which, we headed over to Overseas Restaurant next door for a food tasting session. I’ll leave that for another entry.

Ok, I can’t wait to try out the recipe myself. Maybe I’ll try a milo version or something. Now go ahead and make your own ice cream!

Japanese DIY Candy Kits by Kracie and Meiji

Jacelyn — Tue, 24 May 2011 04:00:00 +0000

Japanese have the most bizarre inventions. Remember the Konapun Fake Food Making videos I posted a couple of months ago? All thanks to Nadia who managed to find the edible versions from Kracie, I think the both of us had spent more than $100 to buy these candies. We have almost collected all but are still looking for the pizza version. If anyone found it, PLEASE INFORM US!

Apart from Kracie, I managed to find the DIY candies from Meiji. Not that fantastic but was still fun to make. Since Nadia had posted what she bought, I decided to show what I bought too! Check out the following videos!

Ramen

Ice Cream

DIY Candy

Donuts

Crepes

Sushi

Bento

Gummyland

Cupcakes. This is the only set that requires baking.

Taiyaki

Neru Neru Neru Ne

Oh yeah that’s a lot of candies there. In fact, I’ve already tried the Ice cream and Neru Neru. Ice cream was yummy but Neru Neru is way too sweet. It’s as if you are eating the entire packet of sugar.

Nadia and I might post up some videos soon. Do look out for it!

Stumbled upon these videos on YouTube. I am amazed! If only cooking is that simple. Unfortunately, they are inedible.

Girly Staycation – Dinner, Party & Hangover

Jacelyn — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:26:25 +0000

It took us a couple of hours to do the makeover. We don’t even have the time to style our hair!

Camwhored with Esther and Nadia before heading out for dinner!

Had our dinner at Quincy, quite disappointing though.

Cream of broccoli. Don’t really like broccoli.

Mediocre steak, nothing special.

Clam linguine, not bad. But the clams are simply too tiny.

Erh?!

We headed back to the room and got ready for clubbing at Zirca!

Wearing a toga dress from thevelvetdolls. Bought this dress a long time ago. Pretty right!

Camwhore!

Unwrapping the early Xmas gift that Esther had given us! So sweet of her!

OFF TO ZIRCA!

With Sabrina, Fidelis and Nadia. Too bad Esther couldn’t come.

The bunch of us started acting all crazy in the club. Ok, I’m probably the only one.

We clubbed till 4am the next day and even went to Lau Pa Sat for supper. Quite surprised that I managed to endure till that time. Usually I would concuss around 1am already. We only got back to the hotel at 5am. I even went to soak myself in the bathtub before dragging myself to bed. Lol!

The next day, all of us had hangovers and refused to get out of bed.

Our sleepwears are sponsored by Les Affaires. Very very comfy!

We ended the staycation with pillow fights. Looking forward to more staycations with the girls!

Girly Staycation – Makeover & Dress Up

Jacelyn — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 12:00:46 +0000

The girls checked in first and this was what I saw when I entered the room.

WHAT THE?! I got a total shock! Things were strewn everywhere, clothes, makeup, whatever you can think of. Ok, I think you wouldn’t wanna look at the floor.

After unpacking, I went over to Far East Plaza to meet the girls for a quick chat. The moment we came back to the room, Nadia and I started washing our feet in the bathtub hee hee! You know, I was the only person who managed to use the bathtub throughout the staycation lol lol! Think I am the only one who is obsessed with bathtubs.

And then, it was makeover time! Tons of makeup! Fidelis and I brought our Ettusais goodies!

Esther did water marbling nail art for us. Looks nice! But I didn’t have the chance to try it.

Putting on my eye makeup.

Helping Sabrina shape her eyebrows haha! Machiam like a guru here!

Nadia brought along the Canon Selphy Photo Printer and we printed tons of photos! Very very convenient! Woots!

We had a couple of blogshops who sponsored us apparels and accessories. Loves!

My white top is from Miuee. The sleeves are very Gaga-ish! Haha! Distressed Denim Chained Shorts is from Elstarade. Very unique design!

Chiffon Cardi Blazer is sponsored by Urban Bangs. Very comfy!

Beige Shift Dress from Vanilla Lollies and Jenny Weave Leather Bag from Milly Walker.

Haha we are damn bo liao!

A custom made bracelet by Mynt!

Look at the chio crown! Thanks Noi!

A pretty necklace from Wenyadesigns. I LOVE all her accessories! Makes me wanna buy off everything, sure broke! Don’t believe me? Visit Wenyadesigns now!

Up next, dinner and party time!

Girly Staycation – Quincy Hotel

Jacelyn — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:46:02 +0000

Nadia came up with the idea of having a girls staycation with me, Esther, Fidelis and Sabrina. Not long after, we were all set for it WOOO HOOO!!! At first, I had no idea what staycation meant. After Nadia’s explanation, then I know it meant by local vacation. OH!

We took a lot of time to recee hotels and finally decided on Quincy Hotel. It’s a chic boutique hotel located steps away from Orchard Road just behind Far East Plaza and Goodwood Park Hotel. Accessibility is not that good though. We had to climb the hill and walk through York Hotel to get to Quincy. Exhausting!

The usual rate for the rooms cost about $358++ per night. However, there was a Qool Weekend promotion strictly for locals at the cost of $268++ per night which I feel that it’s a good deal. It comes with breakfast buffet, set lunch and set dinner for two, free mini bar in the room, complimentary cocktails at the bar plus other perks!

Here are some pictures around the hotel.

The awesome pool which we didn’t get to swim in. Marvellous.

Check-in time!

The service by Quincy’s staff was worth commending. They were all smiley and always ready to attend to our requests. On the day of check-out, one of the staff came over to ask me if I need a cab when he saw me loitering around at the lobby area for a very long time. Well, I was waiting for Boss to fetch me so I rejected him politely. It was nice of him to ask though!

Now off to our room!

Plushy bed! Mad awesome la. Just wanna roll and roll and roll on it!

Bathtub! Can have my bubble bath wheee!

Day bed.

Toiletries from Molten Brown.

Free drinks!

Free snacks!

Complimentary red wine, which we didn’t get to drink.

Here’s my outfit of the day – chiffon top & black shorts from TheBlogShop and hair accessory from a shop at Orchard Cineleisure.

Overall, I LOVE this hotel! Hope I’ll have the chance to come again! Will probably do another staycation with Boss.

Look out for my next staycation entry!
