Hey merry goers! 

It's been awhile since I last wrote a movie review but I really had to share about this movie to all of you because I would really recommend you to watch it which is Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen. I had the privilege to be one of the first few to watch this movie thanks to Isabel for the Media Screening Passes. 


Here's what I think about the movie. This movie is yet another successful production by Jack Neo and is a a 2015 Singaporean comedy film. The film revolves all happenings in the predecessors and explores what might have happened should the boys have been assigned to the Naval Diving Unit. In the previous installments of the movie, the main story revolves around the main characters who were assigned to Tekong Camp for their National Service. This time it is kinda like an alternate universe where instead of going to Tekong Camp, they were assigned to the Naval Diving Unit trained to be divers or also known as the Frogmen. This camp only chooses 0.1% of Singapore population and is considered to be one of the elite forces. Of course since it is an elite camp the training they undergo are much more intense than the previous installments. 


In this movie you will see familiar faces from the earlier installments like Maxi Lim who plays Aloysius Jin a.k.a Wayang King, Joshua Tan who yet again plays the role of the spoilt rich kid Ken Chow, Wang Wei Liang who plays Lobang and Tosh Zhang who plays the instructor Alex Ong. 



A new character is Hei Long, a thud from Hong Kong played by newcomer Wesley Wong. His potrays a kid who immigrated to Singapore from Hong Kong following his parents and he hated them for the moving and losing his friends plus he had to go through NS because he was in Singapore. He also created a lot of trouble in the NDU (Naval Diving Unit) by starting fights and bullying Aloysius.


There were many memorable scenes in the movie especially seeing them go through all the training which were really intense with heaving 'hammering' and physical training.


They also had to carry much more equipment in this installment with their diving/wet suits and also training with their boats. For this movie, the Navy actually required all the actors to train for three months prior to filming to make sure they are all fit and ready to go through with the training. This was to portray a good image of the elite team as well. So you'll be able to see a lot of good body in this show especially since most parts of the show feature the actors shirtless. 




Other memorable moments include Ken's change of leaf, Lobang's family issues and also Hei Long's change in character. One of the most memorable moments in the film for me will be Aloysius standing up to Hei Long and showing that sometimes we let people bully us not because we are weak but because it is not worth it and we pity the bully. Not only that one lesson to learn from this film is choosing to do the right thing or to do things right, to be wrongfully right or rightfully wrong.


I would say this is my favourite installment out of all three Ah Boys to Men movies and I would really recommend you to catch it in Malaysian cinemas on the 19th of March! Full of comical and memorable moments as well as many good lessons to be learnt from this movie, I applaud Jack Neo and the actors for a great movie.

Hey merry goers!! First up take note that this is my first ever blog contest that I am hosting on my blog and you will stand to win up to RM 200 worth of prizes! So stay tune and continue reading for more details.

You know how everyone wants to get flawless skin and look high and low for that product to give us a natural and flawless finish to our skin. How many times have you caked on foundation or powder just to give that illusion of a flawless face and but it does not look natural? Well, here is some tips on getting flawless skin; Firstly, you definitely need to have a good skincare routine. This means cleansing your skin properly to get rid of dirt and makeup on your face and using a good moisturizer to ensure that your skin is properly cleansed and to close up your pores and lastly moisturize your skin well to keep your skin hydrated. If you are still looking for a good skincare routine, you can check out a recommended skincare line by Skin Advance.

But what if you don't have that flawless skin but you still want to look like you have got flawless skin. Now this is where this product comes about; CC Creams. I know some of you may have heard of BB Creams, CC Creams, DD Creams and there is even a EE Cream but honestly you don't need that much alphabets because CC Creams is actually sufficient. CC Creams are also known as Colour Corrector Creams where they help correct your skin tone especially if you have uneven skin tone. Different from BB Creams which are commonly known as Blemish Balms, the CC Cream is creamy light, snoothens the complexion like dark circles, uneven skin tone and some even have SPF Protection and Oil Control.


Thanks to the team at Watsons Malaysia I was able to test out and review the popular Pure Beauty CC Cream from Korea which I heard to be one of the best selling products from the Pure Beauty line. Pure Beauty is a brand from Korea that is quite popular and has been on our Malaysian shores for quite some time. The brand is inspired by nature and perfected by science where they offer the finest quality, safe and effective natural skin care ingredients that are clinically proven and dermatologically tested.

Their best selling products are their antioxidant based skincare series where they feature Pomegranate in their products. Not only that, they have also launched their CC Cream which not only evens out skin tone and perfect overall complexion with UV coverage, but also provides the deepest nourishment for your skin.


I was given the chance to test out their CC Cream and share it with all of you merry goers out there! The CC Cream is packaged in a pink metallic box and has 40 ml of product in it. The Pure Beauty CC Cream comes in two shades; Ivory and Natural.


Key Ingredients:

Pink Flower Complex: Moisturizing and Plumping Effect
Red Interference-Pearl Technology: Neutralize skin imperfections
Syn-Coll : Reducing wrinkles
ECOCERT Alphaflor Gigawhite
Bulgarian Rose Water: Gorgeous uplifting scent, Hydrating 

The unique selling points of this CC Cream is that it uses leading edge 3 color combination technology to improve uneven skin tone. The three colors used is Yellow which conceals dark circles and blemishes, Peach to correct uneven skin tone and improve complexion and Blue which helps to cover acne and unsightly redness. These three colors are incorporated into the CC Cream to give you a natural and flawless finish.


So I was given both shades and in my opinion the two shades are not really that far apart but for those who have fairer skin I would suggest taking the Ivory shade. Both the shades have yellow undertones to them and will slightly oxidize as time pass. Interested how you can get flawless looking skin and even out your skin tone like me in my photo below?


I had no makeup on except for using the Pure Beauty CC Cream and some eyeliner. I am using the Ivory shade and here is a short video that I've prepared to show you how you should apply this CC Cream and what I think about it. It's my first time actually filming a video for you all so please be kind!




So like I mentioned in my video, here are some closeup photos. I have actually tried using the CC Cream several times and you can actually use it as a primer or makeup base or if your skin is looking quite good, you can just use it on its own. I find that the coverage is light to medium but it does a good job of correcting my skin tone. If you can see from the closeup photo, one side of my face is with the CC Cream and the other side without it looks dull compared to the one with the CC Cream.


If you have oily skin, I will recommend you using a setting powder to set your CC Cream as in this hot weather in Malaysia it does not really last that long. But if you like a natural glow to your face, you can actually just use the CC Cream on its own. If you look carefully, you can actually see a nice sheen to the CC Cream which will give you a nice glow and dewy look to your face.




Like you can see from my photo, you will be able to see a difference especially of how my skin looks brighter and is even out compared to not using the CC Cream. I find it rather good for a makeup base and if you have other blemishes, you can put another layer on top of the blemish and it is not cakey.

 
Now time for more details on the giveaway! Here's how you can stand a chance to win up to RM 200 worth of Pure Beauty product and also included in the prize is one Pure Beauty CC Cream! It is super easy!

Hello merry goers~ 

How's life lately? You know how sometimes you get these meat cravings like for those really good aromatic scrumptious good quality meat? Well, I've found a perfect place where you can satisfy these cravings and not burning a hole in your pocket!


Introducing Buns & Meat, located at Lakefields, Sungai Besi which is the perfect place for you to enjoy fragrant buns and meats! Just like it's name, this place offers great dishes featuring their homemade buns and assortments. This establishment is quite spacious and offers both indoor and outdoor dining areas. Besides that there is also a dart machine for you to kill time when waiting for your friends to arrive.



Let's not waste any more time but move on to the stars of this establishment. 


First up the delectable Char Siew Burger (RM 16.90) where you get a sweet pork patty burger plus sweet roasted char siew, tomato, lettuce and delicious crispy thick cut fries on the side. This burger is quite huge and is deliciously seasoned to perfection. The sweet char siew gives a nice balance to the cheese which was melted to perfection. This portion is adequate to serve two small eaters but I would not blame you if you plan to devour this delectable burger on your own!


Next up it's contender, the equally delicious but messy Runny Mess Burger (RM 20.90). This burger gives a winning edge by including a nicely cooked poached egg on top pork bacon and covered to tangy cheese sauce. Just imagine that runny yolk running down the sides of the burger when you bite into it. Gentle reminder to girls out there, this is not the burger to order on a first date if you plan to be sweet and dainty to your date. Nope this burger is definitely a messy but delicious burger to conquer! Served with this is their crispy thick cut fries as well as some creamy macaroni.


Not a fan of pork burgers? I've got you covered with the Grilled Chicken Burger with Cheese and Black Pepper Sauce (RM 16.90).  This chicken burger is no ordinary chicken burger as it is constructed using thick juicy chicken thighs well marinated and grilled to perfection topped with a slice of cheese and paired with crunchy lettuce and fragrant black pepper sauce on the side. This burger is no loser to the other burgers as the chicken thigh was grilled just nice retaining the juice of the chicken keeping it moist and tender. Pair it with their black pepper sauce for the additional kick!




Annyeonghaseyo! Any Korean fans out there?? Presenting the Spicy Korean Ribs Burger (RM 16.90) to satisfy your Korean cravings. This burger is constructed with de-boned pork ribs nicely marinated and cooked with a spicy korean glaze topped with fresh lettuce and served with a macaroni and ham salad. This burger gives the other contenders a kick with the tinge of fiery sensation on your tongue. Can you just see that amazing glaze on the ribs? Juicy and spicy; my favourite combination!



Let's not stop with the Korean craze as we move on to the Spicy Korean Ribs (RM42.90). This dish will leave you licking your fingers as you attack the ribs cleaning off the meat from it's bones. The ribs were well cooked and will practically come off the bones when you bite into them. Just imagining them makes me so hungry now. This ribs has the spicy Korean glaze as well and is served on a bed of thick cut fries.

Ola merry goers~

It's been a while since my last post so please forgive me for my tardiness. Today I would like to share with you some super simple and easy recipes that you can do just using tortilla wraps! Most of the time I really like to use Mission Wraps when making my wraps and snacks and I just found out that they came out with their latest flavour which is the Curry Flavoured Wraps. They have several flavours out there and I have nearly tried all of them so of course I could not resist the chance of trying out these new flavour wraps from Mission Food. 

Tortilla wraps are actually one of the healthier choice compared to rice and white bread as they have less calories and lower sugar content. Besides that wraps are a great ingredient to make simple and quick meals on the run. Have been checking up on my diet especially after Chinese New Year and all that glorious yet sinful eating so Mission Wraps are a great addition to my meals.


The new Mission Wrap have an aromatic curry flavour and are made with high quality wheat flour. The distinctive curry taste comes from a special combination of South Asian spices like cumin, aniseed, black peppercorns, cinnamon, cloves, and other spices giving it a nice mild and pleasant level of heat. As usual, the wraps are packaged in a resealable bag which is great to keep your wraps fresh after opening. My first impression was that it had a slightly yellow colour to the wraps compared to their other variety and there was a nice curry aroma once I opened the bag.


So here's how I enjoy my Mission Wrap. The first recipe I would like to share with you are my Homemade Tortilla Chips using the Mission Wrap. You know how at times you just have that urge to munch on something but you worry about the calories from all that potato chips? Well, here's a fun, easy plus healthy snack to share with you. 


This is my all time favourite snack where it can be done in under 10 minutes! First, you take your Mission Wrap and cut them into eight slices. I normally take my kitchen scissors and cut them up into these triangle slices. 


Hey merry goers

Several months ago, I received the REALASH Eyelash Serum and have been using them for the past months to get fuller and longer lashes. I was supposed to update you all about my results after one month and three months but unfortunately I just realized that my post on the one month result was corrupted due to a virus attack on my laptop. Argh! Hate it when things like this happen so unfortunately I am not able to show you all how my lashes looked after one month BUT here's how they are looking after three months.

If you are not sure what is REALASH, you can refer to my previous post here. REALASH is an award winning eyelash serum formulated to give you stronger and longer lashes. This eyelash serum is actually gives long term results and is formulated using natural and active ingredients like mango, papaya fruit extract, bitter orange flowers extract, natural plant leaves extract, horsetail, flax and calamus extract. It helps your body to produce real and natural lashes with incredible density, length and strength. This amazing product is scientifically proven to be effective and 100% safe for sensitive eyes.

If you read my first post, you will notice that my lashes are super sparse and short making me depending on mascaras to lengthen them. Problem with mascara is that it is either they are not waterproof or smudge-proof which make me end up with panda eyes at the end of the day and mascara is actually quite a pain to remove! It is super easy to use REALASH!  You just have to apply the serum on your upper lashline using the fine tip applicator once a day. I normally apply it at night before I go to sleep.





Luckily for me, REALASH actually helped increase the length and make my eyelash look fuller even without the use of a mascara. Don't believe me? Check out the photos of my eyelash! You can definitely see that it is fuller and definitely longer! Bear in mind, I have not been that diligently applying the serum every night and yet you can see the vast difference between my lashes before and after using REALASH





I am overall quite satisfied with my eyelashes now especially comparing to my poor pathetic lashes previously. If you want to get fluttery butterfly lashes, check out REALASH at their official website today. You can also get your own Starter Package at RM199 for 3ml bottle. I know it may sound a bit expensive but this 3ml bottle will be able to last you 4 to 5 months for daily usage!
