Kimchi Pancake Recipe

First attempt on kimchi pancake, and it was a success!
I think i should let you guys know that I'm a korean food lover.
It started years ago, when I fell in love with Kpop (DongBangShinKi) and korean food.
I even studied in Seoul :)
Although my kpop interest is dying, (or maybe it had died), I cannot resist Korean food.
I've been wanting to make my own kimchi pancake for very long, and since I had flour, and my mum just bought kimchi, I made it!
It was delicious :)

So, here's my recipe for Kimchi pancake/ kimchi jeon.
It's really easy.
All the ingredients were bought from NTUC.
You'll need:

  • Kimchi



  • All-purpose flour (I got the Pagoda  Premium Quality Plain Flour- can make a lot of things, like breakfast pancakes etc)
  • Salt, sugar, oil
  • Onions, green onions are optional, but I added green onions in mine just now.





Anyway, I made a small portion because I'm the only one eating.
You can make it large by adding more portions of kimchi and flour.
1. Add Kimchi and flour into a bowl. I added a spoonful of kimchi and likewise a spoonful of flour.
You can add more flour if you want to.
2. Add kimchi juice - sadly, my kimchi bottle has very little juice -.- So I added water, about half a spoon?
3. Mix everything together with a little bit of salt, and sugar (I added half a spoon of sugar too)

4. VOILA! Time to fry it!

I'm pleased with its taste, the looks of it doesn't really matter haha
But I'll make sure to fry it longer, so its more chao ta next time :D
Take note, the photo looks pathetic because it's just a one-person serving hahaha
Make it as big as you want!

Christmas came early for me today.

I'm blessed.
$950 worth of stuffs - which less than $100 is of used to me, but nvm, I still am blessed.
I can't believe how the above can hit $900, seems like Singapore is really an expensive place to live in?

Review: Sho Teppan at Ion Orchard

Sho Teppan, sho good.
Settled on Sho Teppan at Ion since we didn't had any idea what to eat.
I only wanted Jap food and hence we chose this.


This is a teppanyaki restaurant where your food is placed on an induction cooker for you to cook.
Pretty much DIY, but the staff will come and help you.
Mine suggested how I should cook it

We ordered one soup based and one teppanyaki.
Mine was the soup based one


Look at this! This is just the veggies.
Anyway, you can choose either sweet or salty soup.
Upon the recommendation of the staff, I chose the sweet base
The veggies consist of cabbages, mushrooms, tofu, carrot etc
The main lead was the meat.
I ordered Black angus beef suki udon set 
The meat was delicious, coupled with the beaten egg, it was heavenly~
There's also salad, and you can choose rice instead of udon too.

Bf ordered the kurobuta pork teppanyaki
Sho Teppan Kurobuta
(credited to http://www.shoteppan.com.sg/)
As I was having flu and sore throat, I chose the soup one thinking that teppanyaki would be too heaty.
Kinda regret after eating some of the teppanyaki meat.
I LOVE IT!
The flavourings and spices were all so awesome
For people who love fatty pork meat, this is the one.
(too bad for those who don't want haha)

Btw, drinks are additional charges
We ordered hot green tea and it was $2.
Black Angus suki - $15.90
kurobuta pork same price too
Inclusive of gst and svs charge, total damage around $40

I think it was quite a reasonable price, considering I enjoyed my meal.
Will go back again :)

Review: Camellia Japonica Hydrating Mask

Received a Camellia Japonica Hydrating Mask from My Scheming a week ago.
Finally got to use it today, in this rainy weather.
The mask I got was part of their flower series.

To be frank, I've never heard of My Scheming before.
The more popular mask brands from Taiwan is My Beauty Diary 我的美丽日记(which I still have 1.5 boxes left from my Taiwan trip - 2 years ago T.T)
Comparing these two, My Scheming mask felt thicker from the packaging.
I was guessing there must be a lot of essences in it!
 Here's the look at what this mask does:

Anyway, put it on and left it for around 30 minutes.
And no, I didn't lie down to sleep.
In fact I was playing with my phone, disturbing my brother and walking around the house hahah
I then went to my room, sat down #likeaboss and faced the window
What for?
For the cold air to blow against my mask and face la
SOOOOO SHIOK HAHAHA

Sorry I've no photos of myself putting on the mask
It was so troublesome to apply mask and take photo, my hands were filled with essences
I can't tell much differences between other masks and this.
Seriously, most masks feel the same to me, be it from Seoul or Taiwan
I've used soooo many masks from Korea - different brands - but they feel the same to me.
The only difference is the size of the sheets
My Scheming Mask was wider
Sadly, because my face is rather small, the mask didn't sit nicely on my skin
But, doesn't matter la, what matters is whether there's after effect.

After removing the mask, I patted the essences onto my skin
The hydrating mask did hydrate my skin to be honest
And my face feels smoother
I typically have oily nose, but after application, my nose hasn't secrete any oil haha
Oh, and a small tip: after using the mask, why not apply the leftover essences all over your body?

That's all :)

Bangkok trip


Exam period is coming, but I'm just too lazy to study
It seems as though whatever goes in, comes out straight away
Grrr, all I think of is to PLAY.

I can't wait to go bangkok and enjoy my time there.
It'll be a 4D3N getaway, and I hope its fun and safe there!

Have an upcoming wedding dinner to attend, and I'm kinda excited.
Been long since I last went for one, and dress up nicely.

Till then.

Review: Lao Huo Tang(老火汤) & Freshness Burger Cafe (Groupon Deal)

Watched Ah Boys To Men today at Shaw Bugis Junction.
The first part about war made me cry, especially when the uncle jumped on the grenade himself as sacrifice (oops, too much info?)
But after that, everything was hilarious. HAHAHAHA
I always enjoyed Jack Neo's movie (most of the times), because the movies depicts Singaporean life really well.
It captured the mentality of kiasu and kiasi Singaporeans.
Anyway, go watch the movie.
I emerged with better understanding of the NS life, and am really grateful for our nation's defence force.
Never ever be complacent, and always be prepared.
(psst, I saw qiuqiu at bugis today, cause i spotted a lanky figure walking towards us and looked at her face. haha, just when we saw her in the movie! sadly my bf didn't know who she was -.- even though we just saw her in the movie. guys...)

Well, before my movie, we headed to Bugis Junction Foodcourt.
I settled for 老火汤.
I remembered the first time I had it was veryyyy long ago at Chinatown hawker centre.
There's always long queue!
Not sure if you guys have noticed, this stall has been sprawning across Singapore.
Not that its bad, because they offer a "healthier" choice for us
But, I'm not very sure if they added in MSG, because my soup sure was salty.
Love the pumpkin rice, but sadly I didn't finish it hehe
I ordered the pear pork ribs soup, because I was feeling a little heaty and having cough.
I always believe in healing myself through correct food choices, rather than relying on medicines :)



To be frank, it wasn't a really cheap dish, considering the amount of meat they gave.
The soup costs $4.50, while the pumpkin rice was $1
I had a cheaper dish with more meats in school!

Dinner was at Freshness Burger Cafe.
Headed to Clarke Quay because we bought Groupon voucher here.
We got the Set B: 2 Burgers + 2 Drinks + 2 Sides
Voucher value: $29.20
Paid $12.90 or $13.90 (can't remember)

6 Eu Tong Sen Street, The Central 01-30, 059817, Singapore
We were able choose from 3 burger options:
Jumbo stuffed Cheese Beef Burger,
Cordon Bleu Chicken Burger,
Vegetarian Option: Non-genetic Modified Soy Patty available with top up of $1 to outlet directly.
Seriously, there wasn't much burger choices.
Ended up with the beef and chicken burger.
Chicken burger on the left, Beef Burger on the right
To comment, the burgers are slightly bigger than what you'll get in Macs and KFCs.
I believe my beef burger was a better choice than my bf's chicken burger.
The beef patties were not bad, while the chicken was just so-so.
It's ironic that the brand is called FRESHNESS BURGER, but I feel no freshness to it at all.
Perhaps the veggies (what a joke)
My bf commented that he'd rather eat MOS Burger, oh well.
FYI, the two burgers are not found in the menu
It's a special order for grouponers
So, I can't put a price to it :)

Choose from 7 drink options:,
Pepsi, Pepsi Light, 7-Up, Ice Earl Grey Tea, Ice Genmai Tea - Green tea with Malt, Hot Genmai Tea
Top-up $0.50 for an Italian Soda-of-the-Day
Seriously, who in the right mind will order soft drinks (don't tell me you do, waste money okay!)
So pepsi, light, 7-up were OUT.
There's just not much options left.
Ordered the Ice Earl Grey Tea on the left, and the Hot Genmai Tea on the right
You need to add syrup into the earl grey tea cause it's super bitter.
Well, for my hot genmai tea, it just taste like the usual Japanese tea in jap resturants lor.
Note that these two cups are Grande, meaning the largest.
Usual price for earl grey was $3.50, mine was $2.50

Choose from 5 sides options:
French Fries , Vegetable Soup, 12oz, Cream of Chicken Soup, 12oz,
Mashed Potato, Hokkaido Potato (Small size)
Again, not much options.
Only thing that caught our eyes was the hokkaido potato
Sounds more hua what, no meh? haha
Note the word SMALL SIZE
zzzzz
Look at my portion (face palm)
5 pieces only
AIYO!!
This costs $3.30 each

For your references, I've attached the menu
Thank me for it! You can check the prices!
So, if say we paid $13.90 for what we ate
$13.90 - $2.50 - $2.50 - $3.30 - $3.30 = $2.30
So the two burgers would be like $2.30?
All in all, this wasn't a fantastic meal
Sure there wasn't much people (is this a bad sign?), and you can chill there doing homework (saw two girls doing so), it's not exactly a nice place for burgers
And, one thing about Groupon, it's for vendors to try and sell their products to customers, so they'd come back again no?
The fact that Freshness Burgers limit the choices of drinks and sides and even their burgers were not on the menu, shows little effort for so.
They should have allowed for any choices of drinks - they're roughly the same price what!
If you let me try other drinks, I may have felt the meal was a more satisfying one?
Same with the burgers, at least let us try out the taste of the burgers on menu?
I see no point in the store having new burgers made for us
As for the sides, limited choices too.

Won't patronize this store anymore.
There's a lack of WOW factors to it.
Maybe my bf was right, MOS burger would have been better?

Dearest boyfriend


I've been spending a lot of time with him these days.
I think a good thing about university, is that there is a flexible schedule.
I'm trying my best to enjoy whatever I have before I step into the working world (wait a minute, idk what I wanna work as yet T.T)

Back to topic, these days were nothing but blissful.
Going to his house, cooking whatever I wanna try like korean pancakes, rosti blah blah, going to ikea together, lying on the bed hugging, talking rubbish, making idiotic faces, acting crazy, him coming to my house to "study" which turns to hugs, kisses, and nonsense chats, plus sleeping.
To me, all these are really blessed events.
Perhaps these are what couples in the "honeymoon" period do.
You'd just never get sick of each other.
We've been together for half a year, and time really flies
Seems like yesterday that we met, yet, it seems like we've met for so long, and are so comfortable with each other true self.

Within 6 months, we've shown each other our true selves
I think this is important - to be frank and truthful with your lover about who you actually are
I don't try to look happy all the time in front of him
In fact, there are a lot of times when I frown, tear, and feel upset about him
I lamented that he's unromantic, that there wasn't anything special that he planned for our 6 monthsary
I put up a long face, but he cheered me up, and he apologized
He never once flared up at me (well, if he flares up within 6 months of our dates, either his temper KNS, or my attitude is bad)
I hope he never will - but I too know everyone has a limit, and I'm trying not to cross his line.
But most of the time, he's the one that lets me win
Of course when I said something that hurts him, and he looks sad, I will hug him and say sorry, while pinching his cheeks
And he'll just be alright.
I'm blessed to have such a nice-tempered bf :)
I think a guy's temperament is very important
For me, a stubborn and hot-tempered girl, I can never stand or even get along with guys that are obnoxious, full of themselves, and EGOISITC
Nor can I stand selfish, petty guys
My bf belongs to none of the above, which is why we matches
I'm the guy that goes head to head with someone that offends me, but I soften very easily if the opponent is a kind, gentle person
I could go on and on about the nice things of him, but also the things I dislike
I dislike his unromantic side, that he leaves some of his electrical plugs on 24/7 when they're not in use, that he always sleeps zzzz, that sometimes he's so insensitive about how I feel (but when I'm sad, he knows it and will try to make it up), that his english and chinese sucks,  and that sometimes i feel like i love him more than he loves me :(

But, I know his pluses > negatives
I want to keep him with me forever
Although my mind may change in the future, for now, it stays this way.

Review: Late night Prata for the Westerners

Hello guys, have you ever wanted to find a 24 hours place to have your prata fix?
That's what happened to me yesterday when I didn't had a filling dinner ;(
I wanted roti prata so badly!
But it was already 10+ pm
Bf suggested to go Jalan Kayu but I've went before, and it's so far from my home
Plus, I think the roti pratas there are a bit overrated and too many people head there.

I'm here to introduce a 24 hours prata shop that you can go to!
This is specially for the Westerners, well, I don't mean Caucasian, but those living in the West :P
Anyway, this shop is at
Al Falah Food Corner in Block 75, Commonwealth Drive
They don't only sell roti prata, but other Indian cuisines you can think of, like briyani, mee goreng blah blah
But I only tried the roti prata and I can assure it is good!
If you've seen my other posts, I don't always say food are good ( cause I'm a really picky eater ).
The thing that draws me to this stall is its curry
It's rich, flavorful and spicy!
I always think a curry makes or break roti prata.

Reached there by car, but I guess the Commonwealth MRT is pretty nearby too
If you need a late night prata comfort, head here :)
It's just behind Faith Methodist Church

It costs $1.50 for the egg prata
Hmm, I remembered having $0.50-0.80 egg prata when I was young lor.
Nowadays, everything inflates in price -.-
But well, it was worth the money!
Even my bf thinks so.

Enjoy!

Review: Talika Soothing Eye Patch

Received my Talika eye therapy patch today.

Did you see that it's reusable?
That's what I love about this eye patch!
It can be used up to 3 times, what value for money :)

This eye therapy patch is for those who face wrinkles/fine lines around your eye contours, and those suffering from dark eyes circles.
I haven't face the former problem yet, but I've rather bad dark circles :(
Poor undergraduate.
According to Talika, it is 

Clinically proven to reduced wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness in 30 minutes!

This award winning dry patch acts in 30 minutes, delivering moisturizing and anti-ageing ingredients directly to the skin by osmosis, developed from a post surgery technology.It produces gradual and controlled diffusion of the active ingredients, stimulating the skin surrounding the eye area to a younger and smoother appearance.

How to use:
Peel off a protective film on the patch and paste it on your eyes
THAT'S EASY!

As I'm typing these, I'm already using the eye patch.
Gotta put it for 30 minutes! 


Anyway, what I love about this is that it has a pleasant smell
Smells like aromatherapy oil?
You don't wanna put some bad smelling patch there, do you? 

Alright, 30 minutes is up!
I dont see any differences in my dark circles, didn't fade too
But I can't expect wonders on the first try right?
What I do feel is some tightening of my skin at the eye contours
Guess it's because of the patch just now - maybe i put it too high up LOL

There's 2 more uses to go!
I'm loving the dry gel-like patch already :)

Review: Dim Sum at Victor's Kitchen

I guess that's the lao ban niang at the cashier!
Victor's Kitchen is an old-looking shop that sells dimsum
When you enter, you're given a piece of paper and you can just fill in what kind of dishes you'd like.

When I visited yesterday at around 5+, there wasn't a lot of people.
This is my second time here.
I remembered the first time here was rather squeezy, as it was packed.
I suggest going at a timing that has lesser people, because you wouldn't like to squeeze and have your food served late while you're hungry.

Anyway, here's what we ordered:

Hong Kong Summer Iced Tea ($3)
Wanted this because I saw that it was a hot favourite on a poster at the mirror.
Anyway, it's served in a plastic cup, but immersed in a bowl of ice.
Guess it's to prevent the ice from diluting the milk tea
I find it a bit too sweet for my liking, but nonetheless finished it off (shared with my bf)

Another "must try" on the poster was this Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun ($4)

Apparently, it's ranked number 3 by some magazine (cuttings which I saw pasted on the wall)
I've been hearing people rave about LIU SHA BAO.
Got so nice meh?
Victor's Kitchen version is not the normal custard ones we'd find outside.
As you can see, there's egg yolk.
I don't really like it la, although it's like their signature dish?
The moment I bite, the butter came runny down.
YES, butter!
I thought the filling should be a bit thicker and not so runny?
Anyway, ate a few mouth and really disliked the taste.
SORRY, I NO LOVE YOU.
There's 3 buns la, and my bf ate them all HAHAHA
He said it doesnt taste nice either.

We also ordered the glutinous rice, which came wrapped.
The lotus leaf really smelt nice
However, when I tasted it: I don't like this either!
But my bf says it was nice.
I had problems with my digestion, so I only ate a few mouth of it.
The rice wasn't as sticky as I'd like it to me, and it wasn't exactly tasty.
Sorta blend IMO.

Another dish was the Victor’s King Prawn Dumplings ($5.00)
Sorry to say, I've tasted better
The skin was a bit too thick
and the prawns a bit too hard
I'd love it better if the skin was thinner, and the prawns softer

The dumpling encased prawns that were neither crunchy nor too soft while the skin was thin but sticky. The skin was stuck to the metal pan while I was trying to pick it up with my chopsticks but unfortunately, the skin was torn apart rather too easily. Victor’s King Prawn Dumplings were probably just passable to me and I must say that I was quite disappointed.

Lastly, THE MUST TRY!!!
Carrot Cake with XO Sauce ($4.50)
my favourite food deserves another photo
I LOVE IT!
But I'm not very sure if I tasted XO in the sauce, hmm.
The sauce is a bit spicy though
Anyway, the carrot cake is unlike others.
It's soft and served in a bowl.
Yum yum, I am salivating already.

Service wise, I find it okay.
But I've heard of people complaining about it.
So I guess, always choose a timing where there's lesser people, so the staff can concentrate on serving you.
I'm sure I'll be back again to try others + MY CARROT CAKE!

Total damage: $21

Review: Exchange Hair Salon, Plaza Singapura - Streetdeal coupon



In my previous post, I blogged about purchasing a hair dye deal from Streetdeal.sg
It was the deal below:

$25 for Hair Coloring or Technical Highlights + Shiseido Water Spa Treatment + Wash + Blow (worth $230) at Exchange Hair Plus, Plaza Singapura


went to dye it and am back for a review.
I was apprehensive after I saw people blogging about its hard-selling.
I was so prepared to say NONONONONO.
Turns out, there wasn't any.
Perhaps it was due to my good luck?
Anyway, booked the 1130am appointment and had my dye till 1.45pm.
More than 2 hours!
That's because my hair is thick and long.
FYI, I purposely chose a coupon that does not have restriction on hair length! :)

When I entered the salon I was a bit scared.
I was the first customer, and all the staff were wearing black plus doing their own hair.
Waited for around 3 minutes before they attended to me.
I thought they'd make me wait for a long time since I wasnt a full paying customer.

The Good:
My stylist is a really polite man.
Asked him for an advise on which color suits me and he chose a few.
I think I decided on a cooper brown one.
The stylist keep checking on my hair, whether the dye was deeply absorbed.
So I had to wait for quite a long time before the dye was done.
Anyway, there was no hardselling.
I was praying he don't push me to the hair-scalp machine, because I'm not interested!
Luckily he didn't.
The only thing he asked me to purchase was a $199 voucher deal, which entitles me to 3 rebond or hair dye process.
I politely declined and they didnt say anything either (hope they don't curse behind my back lol)
Went out of the salon in a happy mood, because I didn't face any hardselling problems like others did.

The Bad:
I don't really like it when I see stylist brush the chemical dye on my scalp, and he precisely did that.
But I didn't tell him la, just let him do his work.
Anyway, I felt a little pinching pain on my scalp lor.
Maybe the chemical a bit too strong for me.

Another thing is the smell.
OMG I am still suffering from the bad ammonia smell even after shampooing again!
I guess the hair dye is a lousy one la, but I can't complain much since its $25!
The last time I had a bad hair dye smell was in Seoul.
Previously when I dyed in Singapore salons (without voucher deals) it was okay.
Not so bad smelling like today's.
Guess it's true that the more you pay, the better quality you get.

Anyway, the color on my hair isn't really even.
It is really light at the crown/top of my hair, and darker at the bottom.
But never mind, I hope that the more I wash it, the more even it gets
(does it make sense? lol)

Overall, for the price I paid, and the after effect, I'd say the deal was a success.
Plus, the location is so convenient, which is precisely why I chose this deal in the first place!
They even gave me a $30 voucher for the next visit, which I didn't utilize.

But, obviously I succumb to it.
Boo to me.

Review: Restore Living and Old House Giant Hokkien Prawn Mee

Random walk around Tanjong Pagar today
Unfortunately, the rainy weather makes travelling more difficult
There was much lesser crowds, or probably because tanjong pagar would be more vibrant in the nights!

Headed to Restore Living at Tanjong Pagar for waffles.
This has an old-school feel, and its in fact a furniture + cafe shop.


Saw some people querying about the furniture in there.
But it ain't cheap! :O

We ordered the Berry Good set, which costs $9.80 ($10.80 after service charge)
Personally, it was quite an expensive dish, as the waffles were rather small.
But, it was still pretty decent.
The waffles was thick, and soft.
I particularly love its maple syrup!
The berries look nice doesn't it? A pity they're too small :(

Restore Living

Tue to Fri 11am to 7pm
Sat & Sun 11am to 6pm
Mon closed

Eating waffles is definitely not enough, so we walked around for a main meal
Passed by a stall called Old House, and I was attracted by this "恐龙 大虾面"(Dinosaur Prawn Mee)
Dinosaur? Prawn?
Decided to just give it a try. Take a look at the PRAWNS!!

According to its website,
Old House's Dinosaur Prawn Noodle uses only wild fresh ocean prawn as one of the key ingredients for its famous prawn noodle recipe. Cooked the traditional way taught by grandpa, the 30 years old prawn noodle recipe is regarded as an heirloom in the family. The traditional flavour is sure to warm you with jolts of reminiscence and affection.
I must say, the prawns are really huge.
What I love most about this dish is the soup base. It was tasty, but probably because of MSG?
Prawns wise, they are HUGE, but I felt it was too overcooked.
The meat could be more tender
There's also two pieces of pork, and in this case, it was rather hard.
If they could cook the meat longer, it would be more tender too!

Overall, a good experience in eating such a gigantic prawn.
It costs $12 a bowl, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it!
There's a lot of other food to try out too:

Reasons why I should not get the Vanity Trove

I am really hyped up to create a blog post about the above topic.
Mainly because, I've been receiving so much samples for FREE, and many FREE samples are given in VT.

Damn sian, why did I succumb to the $25 VT box?!?!?!?!
(Simply because the box is so pretty)

This post is a follow-up to my Review on the Fall in Love Sept edition I bought
Btw, this is my most popular blog post (around 50 hits)

I know many bloggers are raving about this, because they got the box FREE.
If this box was given FREE to me, I'd love it too!
But not with the $25 I spent!

Here's why it's not worth your money:


  • Oilum: in the above photo, you can see 2 bottles of Oilum samples. Granted, they look good for travel purpose. But guess what? On the Oilum FB page, I'm seeing a sale of $2 travel pack. And, hello, VT didn't give me the soap looking thing lor. Like that, means the Oilum stuffs I got costs maybe $1.30? $25-$1.30 = $23.70 to go.
Photo: Awesome Oilum travel pamper pack going at crazy $2 only at all good Guardian stores island-wide!

Hurry! Its the ultimate must-have for your holiday trips and grab one today at your nearest Guardian store before its too late!

Oilum Travel Pamper pack comes with:
Hydro-Rebalance™ Collagen Cleanser Bar 20g
Hydro-Rebalance™ Collagen Rejuvenating Body Cleanser 20ml
Hydro-Rebalance™ Collagen Revitalizing Lotion with Anti-Oxidant + Double UV Filter 20ml
  • Montagne Jeunesse peeling mask. In the VT, it contained 1 sample of this mask. And guess what again? I had this as a FREE sample. Don't say I never give you good lobang. What's the use of putting a sample product when I can get it free? *facepalm*
  • Leaders Insolution hygdrogel eye patch: selling at watsons, 5 for $16.90. Since I got ONE, it costs $3.38. $23.7 - $3.38=$20.32
  • Smooth-365 sample is sooo small, I bet it is FREE
  • This means that with the $20.32, I'm left with 3 products:

Will you pay $20 for the above three?
Some of you might say yes, but not for me. 
With this price, I'd rather find the needed products on my own.
FYI, the soothing BB cream is from watsons selling at $9.95 - since VT and Watsons partnered up, I'm guessing this product was given to them free as well.
Probably a good product is the Rimmel eyeshadow, which sadly I don't use.

Sigh, I'll just treat my $25 as a lesson then
No more getting samples for a PRICE!



The Bangkok Noob Post

So, I'm going to bangkok in the December and am not sure how much I should bring.
Anyone mind telling me?
Comments are very much appreciated :D

And can anyone tell me what's a reasonable price for hotel + air tickets for a 4d3n trip?
Budget airline will do :)
