----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm making lesser herbal tea recently though the weather is hot.
Last 2 months weather is cold so i din make herbal tea.
That probably explains why my hubby eczema gets bad.
Shall try to make for him this weekend if possible.

Real Yoga has a new branch in TPY so i have tried 2 trial with miyabi.
We have signed up as a couple as it is cheaper.
But i think we are unlikely to go together due to different schedule but we will probably see each other some time during impromptu session.

I have arrange some activities with my hubby to prevent us from lazing too much at home. March activty will be mini-hiking to treetop. Though simple and nearby, i know we will not go if we never plan.
What shall we do for April? We have not been to Garden by the bay before. So maybe, shall we?

I just came back from Hong Kong .... broke. Spend more than SGD$2k over 3D2N. That does not includes flight. Accommodation is free though. Eating in HK is very cheap, as long as you dun go Michelin restaurant and such. So shopping is the most expensive thing. I have went in the whole season so no much clothes to shop, but i burst my wallet by getting a bag and a wallet. =P

End of 2013. Welcome 2014.

Reflecting on 2013. Bye Bye

CNY
2013 is the 1st year that i'm celebrating CNY in my new house. I enjoyed it. Finally the year with no cooking and no washing. I used to hate CNY. But now, apart from the money to part with(Ang Bao etc), i love this holiday. Organised a CNY party at my house.

Health
I became even more health conscious. Supplements for my hubby, regular checkup for both of us. Turning 30 in 2y time. I know i have to start taking care of my health before anyone knows how bad it can be. I took on the medical checkup from my office and always top for some extra checks. Better be safe than to be sorry. Early detection equals to life-saving.

Work
I decided not to change company for the time being. Alot of reasons, health is one of them. Till i nurse myself well enough to move on, i will be in same co.

Love
Slightly lesser quarrels compared to 2012. But there are a few big fights thought. Things get better towards end of the year. Especially last 2 months, where he supported me during bad health and our bonding during the few days leave for Spring Cleaning.

Family
Started to take care of my mil's health. In charge of getting supplements for her. Went over to mil's place more often. But still between 1 to 2 times each month. My fil's health is still bad. Was hospitalised.

Change maid for my mum. The new maid is slow and i prefer the old one. But the new maid is more tolerance and so far no major issue. Just that i have to tolerate complains from my mum. Frequently.

Money
I started my detailed retirement plan. Started investing into stock, happy when there is dividend, unhappy when there is unrealised capital loss. But is ok, long way to go. Manage to save more money than i expected to save in 2013. Guess taking bus towards the end of the year makes abit of difference.

Life
Study Japanese Intermediate. Took JLPTN4. Skipped Pre-advanced and jump to Advanced Class. My Japanese Teacher left SG for good, change to another teacher.

Meet up with friends often. I dun wanna to have a life with only my hubby.

Hi 2014, I hope things will be even better.

My Weekly Affair.

My Sensei who used to only teach Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun class, has now an additional Class on Thursday.
I'm thankful for this. And i decided to switch to this class except for JLPT Prep Class.

Thursday is a good day. Even though i will be tired after lesson, but the next day is friday!

As a result, i have a new weekly schedule.

Monday & Tuesday : Friends meet-up Day! / Some Tuesday are Manicure Day.
Wednesday: Laundry Day
Thursday: JP Lesson Day
Friday: Special Meetup / Special Laundry Day / Parent & In-Law Day
Saturday: Home Clean Up Day
Sunday: Food Preparation + Herbal Tea Making Day!

Apart from exceptional cases, i'm trying not to give up my schedule.

This year, I have gave MAX5 5-saturdays to meet up to celebrate bdays. I really love MAX5. But it is really tough to give full Saturday.

Friends, if possible, i prefer to do regular meet-ups on Monday & Tuesday, and Special Meet-up like a celebration on any of Mon, Tue, Fri. Weekend are fine if over a span of a few hrs. I can give up certain days for certain ppl. Example, Delphine usually have her offs on Wed, so i can swap for her coz she has no other options. This is something that i can definitely give in. I can also throw in a full weekend for a super-fun-and-packed-activity-day-once-in-a-blue-moon.

Stubborn

If only i had lesser stubbornness, i won’t be waking up that early.

Over the little unhappiness from the boss's statement, my stubbornness gave up my regular cab. This is because the regular cab can't reach that early. It usually reach my place at a later time, which means i will reach work later, and it means, i go home later too.

In fact, i used to believe that my boss think it is ok, but i think it is my pure assumption. Maybe becoz the senior did that so we followed. And the headquarter ppl were worst off.

But somehow, i'm not one who take criticism well. Esp when I thought all is ok. So when I realize it seem not, I tried one week to wake up earlier to reach work earlier. The 1st week was horrible, could be due to tiredness, I failed badly.

This week I tried again. Monday was nonsense, I ended up paying more than 25 bucks for taxi, and waited very long to get one. Today was ok, I had to pay $5.50 ERP in total. Tomorrow I shall try earlier, hopefully can drop my ERP to $5.


Anyone can intro a regular cab that picks me at 8AM? I would be glad to have one.

My Skincare Regime (as of May 2013)

Day Time : Whitening is the way to be queen!
1) The never changing rule for years, wash with water!
However this works for me as i sleep in aircon room. If you sleep in a hot room and have alot of sebum after you wake up, maybe you need a cleanser.

2) Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner Moisture
Previously i use a whitening toner, but Laneige Whitening Toner is too thick for me. I change and swap to the moisturing toner instead. =)

3) Laneige Balancing Emulsion Moisture
Balancing the PH, works the same way as Youth Code Pre-Essence.

4) Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence
I must have a whitening essence in my regime.

5) Laneige Water Bank Essence
The light hydrating essence that protects the skin.

6) Estee Lauder Night Repair Eye Cream
Eyes is where you starts your anti-aging protection.

7) Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream
Very hydrating. I love it. It also helps to lock all the above essence.

8) Shiseido Perfect UV Protector SPF 50+/ PA+++
Block the sun and be fair~ ^^

Next is Makeup Time! ^^

Night Time : Clean well and hydrate.

1) Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil
The Cleansing oil that never fails me.

2) Biore Mashmellow Foam OR Laneige Multi-Cleanser
I use either one of them. Generally i use Biore.

3) Power Essential Skin Refiner Moisture
The awesome toner for me.

3) Laneige Water Bank Eye Gel Cream
Hyrdate the dry areas around the eyes

4) Laneige Balancing Emulsion Moisture
Re-use this again to balance out the PH

5) Lanige Hydra Solution Essence
Intensive Hydration. Awesome but costly

6) Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream
To lock in the hydration!

7) Laneige Sleeping Pack EX
Seldom use, once in a blue blue moon

If you compare, you will notice that i have simpify alot of steps. Nowadays there is really very little time to take care of my own skin to be pretty. =( But well, i will try not to slack and use sheet mask as often as i can ^^
