Life of a Foxy Siren

~ Sanguine as is both cheery and bloody; you’ll see why!
 I woke up feeling all cheery – I was gonna visit a children’s home later in the afternoon. Planned a visit to the home, playing some yoga-based games, just to induced some laughter and fun. And then an hour of yummy snacks. C’est super!


And how did it go?


Hmm the home is located inside a Chinese cemetery area (yikes! Yes I did freak a little when I found out the location. Going to places like this usually zap a hell lot of energy outta me – I dunno why)


I’d lost my way if it wasn’t The Boyfriend who took a random turn at a junction.


The home was peaceful and quiet, and very clean. The youngest there is 6, oldest 14, and a total of 21 kids. You can see how excited they are for the event. Cheeky grins and innocent laughter. It was a good one hour of bonding with them.


I noticed these children have a very strict timetable. TV like twice a week? (ok when I was a kid I wasn’t even allowed to watch TV – unbelievable, right? But I survived..) They make their own beds, wash their own clothes, homework and revision time. And they are happy..They were very thankful for every little thing that you do for them.


Look at us! How we all take things for granted sometimes! Sigh..


I hope to visit them again soon.. I reckon they need these contributions the most:
- Stationaries
- Book shelves
- Dry food : rice, biscuits, milo
- Daily use: toilet paper

I then went downtown for some food, I was starving.

It was about 4.30pm, and I wanted a bowl of laksa – sold out. Then I thought a bowl of hokkien mee would do – also sold out. Ahhh the last option was char koey teow. We wanted to order 2, but was rudely told that only one left. *raised eyebrow – why the rudeness?* Okay then, 1 without chillies pls.

And I waited for what seemed like ages and finally the young boy came with my char koay teow.. soaked in chilies oil! Didn’t I say without chilies pls?

The poor kid went back to his dad, and got yelled (sorry, chilies give me flare ups on my skin) and he harshly said “ No more lah!” and went on banging his utensils. What in the world?

You’re earning a living and actually think it is ok to be harsh to customers? Whoaaa has the world suddenly changed? Not that I see anyone begging him to fry the damned koay teow! Huff!

Next destination was the Popular Bookstore’s book fair. The Boyfriend was keen on browsing the CDs, and true enough, he happily popped 3 sets of CDs into the cart. And then while I was browsing, he went off scouting at the Chinese section. Hmm I can’t read Chinese so whatever Chinese books that I bought will be his “job” to translate them haha. He found a NiuErr (the Taiwanese skin expert) skincare book!

Don’t I just love him… The Boyfriend I mean :P

Of course some Chinese cuisine cookbooks.. aiyaaaaaa that means I have to cook for him-lah! But they also include some herbal soups and teas for beauty; which I really like! :)

I bought a few chick lits from the 50% section. Less guilty but the titles are those that I’ve been eyeing for some time.

There was a booth selling stampers and paper cutters – super nice! But very damaging to the purse.. and I of course stayed away in case I give in and bag home a few sets! They each costs about $40 mind you… and I don’t have time to make fancy cards everyday, so…. I bidded them goodbye.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

December mags.. I needed my mags fix, so next was MPH.

Boo! Only Cleo Dec ! Where are the rest! So disappointing… I guess that means I have to get them at the news stand. So much for accumulating MRC points.. no wonder I’ve been getting 5% rebate instead of the usual 10%. Shame on you MPH!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Off I went to Watsons.. and in less than 30minutes, I came out with a tube of Simple Deep Cleansing Mask, a box of Lipo Tea and a Winnie the Pooh fleece blanket… hehehe So much for not wanting to buy anything.

I know I know… I have too much masks already. But I didn’t know Simple has one and I simply had to try it. It was also on 15% off… I couldn’t resist it, ya know?


And finally time to head home to snap some pictures!

It happened on one innocent mundane night. I was surfing the web, and suddenly The Boyfriend, who was watching TV, called out.. "Hey look at this.. cute eh?"

It was the ad for Osim uKimono. After the mere 31 seconds ad, guess what was I surfing for?
Yeh smart you... the uKimono.
It costs $799... and I wanted it!

I managed to distract myself from it for a few days.. before I headed to the mall and tried it.
It gave me tingly feeling (I tried it on my thighs). Nice, I quite like it (what? "quite like" is a lie! I love it) I walked away reluctantly after that, but what the SA said lingered on my mind... "can pay by installment also.." Oh, so I don't have to puke out one chunk of money in one go? It won't sound too bad yeh? Yeh yeh?

Guess what, two days later - I GOT IT! Hehe... bright red one... So CNY-ish!
It comes with a purple colored diary and an SHE calendar- with some tips to lose the jiggle.

So here's my baby...tada:



Colour: Red / Purple / Orange

Function: Shape and tone the tummy, thighs and butt. Also massages the lumbar. Helps with digestion.

Usage: Each session is auto-programmed at 10 minutes. You can choose to knead, vibrate or both. At one go, each body part is not to exceed 1 hour (whoaaaa pls don't be an addict). Do not use it right before and after meals.

My Experience:
I've been using it for a couple of days now. During the session, I feel warmth on the area I use it on. I really feel it gives my stomach a bloody good massage. At times I feel dizzy after using it, but its on and off, could be my low BP.

On my stomach - I feel kinda itchy all around. Its the circulation, still tolerable. My first use - the area on my stomach was itchy and all red. But then I went to sleep and the next morning it was all ok.

On my thighs and butt - just feel tingly and warm. Nothing uncomfortable.

What I don't like about it:
~ it is heavy... :S
~ it comes with wires and adaptor, such a hassle - can't really walk around much.
~ it is kinda noisy

But overall, I'm happy with this machine. Let's see if it really helps to tone me up! ;)

* Woof *
* Licks *
* Bite shoe and run *
* Tummy rubs *

~ Love ~

I couldn't resist these super cute doggies. They look so innocent, adorable and full of love.
Just by looking at them makes me happy.. and I hope all the doggies in the world get lots of love.



~ So melting my heart :)
