Shiseido Anessa Perfect Sparkle Sunscreen aka Best Sunscreen EVER!

I've finally found the perfect sunscreen for me!




Sometimes I can't be arsed to put any make up on, well except for some concealer, and I'd just slap on some sunscreen and leave the house. But about 2 hours later, my face would get super greasy. I felt like Severus Snape. And I didn't want to keep blotting as I heard that it just makes your face produce more oil and you'd just end up having to blot more and more.

But now with this sunscreen, my face stays almost completely shine free for the entire day! I don't even have to blot once. And it's SPF 50, so it provides longer lasting protection against the sun. It's very easy to spread so each time you only have to use a small amount.

The only negative thing about it I guess would be that you have to remove it with a make up remover, which can be a bit of a hassle if you're lazy like me lol.

A 60ml bottle costs $57, a little bit on the expensive side. But just get it at one of Metro's 20% discount storewide sales and you can knock about $10 off the price. I'd say that it's definitely worth the price!

Tea With Jay Chou

The weather's been so horrible lately. It has been raining EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. But I guess I really shouldn't complain, especially when places like Brazil and Australia are facing horrible floods due to the rain. What's with the weather? Is the end of the world really coming in 2012?

Anyways because of the weather, I've been too lazy to do anything. But my tummy was grumbling in protest so I searched through the cupboards for anything edible, anything that didn't require too much cooking and this was the result.




Waffles with peanut butter and a cup of milk tea, endorsed by Jay Chou! The tea was a little too sweet for my tastes but I liked the bits of nata de coco in it. Thanks BFF for giving this "周杰倫的奶茶" to me lol.

The Club At Marina Bay Sands

To celebrate the arrival of 2011, the four of us decided to splurge a little and visit the new Chocolate Bar at Marina Bay Sands.

From MBS' website:

By 8 pm every evening, The Club at Marina Bay Sands takes dining to a whole new level with Singapore’s first Chocolate Bar, some 57 stories above ground. This full-blown chocolate buffet will offer 57 chocolate-themed items, crafted by hand with Valrhona chocolate and created by executive pastry chef Alejandro Luna and his team. The Chocolate Bar, which retails at S$38++ per person, will be available to the general public as well. Reservations are required at +65 6688 8858. 

Reservations are definitely necessary, I don't think they take walk-in customers. The place was not anywhere near filled when we left at 10.30pm but I saw people getting turned away at the door, they were told that the place was fully booked.

The bar is open till 11.30pm but you can stay till 12.00am to chat and enjoy the beautiful views of either the city skyline or the sea behind.


No, that is not dim sum... there's some kind of chocolate in it.



Artistic, no? :P
Some tea to go with the chocolate. You can also choose to have hot chocolate, if you can stomach it.

The chocolate is not exactly to die for, but it's good enough. You can't really have too much of it though. I have a sweet tooth but I got a bit sick of all the chocolate after a while. The service was good... when you were able to get it. Seriously, I had a hard time getting the server's attention any time I needed something. And you had to call them otherwise NO ONE bothered to clear the plates! This is a buffet, I don't think it's too much to expect the plates to be cleared after you were done. At one point, I saw a guy with four used plates stacked next to him. Isn't this supposed to be a 'high class' sort of place?

I definitely recommend going to try it at least once. If you're thinking of paying $20 to go up to the SkyPark, why not consider paying an additional $20 to have a comfy seat and enjoy all sorts of chocolate themed food items over a coffee or tea while taking in the view.




After eating, you could jump in the pool and work off those calories...

lol j/k don't do that, security will probably throw you out. I think the pool is only for hotel guests. Anyway, you could still sit by one of the benches next to the pool, the views are impressive.

However, it was raining heavily just before I went so it was seemed slightly foggy. Just look at the poor palm tree with only 2 leaves left!

Bonus picture, Little J on NYE!
