Cameron Highlands

Beautiful sunrise...

Nice aircon temperature....

Mossy forest...

Gorgeous scenery with nice fluffy clouds...

Tea plantations with hills & hills of tea bushes...

Yummy food... T-cafe... Steamboat...

BUT

The environment is kind of dry for the skin...

The winding roads can be rather worrying...

Rains like nobody's business...

But overall quite an interesting trip =>

The bad thing about some Taiwanese dramas... 爱上查美乐... 犀利人妻...

One bad thing about some of the Taiwanese drama I am watching is that there are always third parties...

Usually it is the most innocent/unattractive looking guy that attracts the attention of the young & pretty third party.

I might be too emotional but such scenes always make me feel sad for the wife/girlfriend which are not necessary lousy.

Perhaps it is just that they might not be paying much attention towards maintaining their appearance.

What makes it even more sad is that their lives usually evolves around these 'innocent/unattractive looking' guys and they are always the last to find out about these incidents.

Luckily there is always a Prince Charming in the pipeline!

 

Where is our letter... Where are our keys...

Seriously lo, this Park Central project should be nicknamed "Snail Project".

It is almost mid Aug and we have yet to receive our key collection letter.

According to our forum neighbours, letters will be mailed out next week and key collection start from end Aug to early Sept.

Keys will be given out by blocks which is not exactly good news to us...

Now we no longer have to worry about having to conduct the Door Opening Ceremony during the Ghost Festival.

Instead we have to worry about whether we have sufficient time to check defects/clean/paint by 23 Sept for the deliveries of various household items, taking into account that HE has ICT for 1.5 weeks in Sept.

*Sigh Sigh*

And the government still wonders why the median age for Singaporeans getting married is increasing and the national birth rate is declining.

It is near impossible to plan for such stages in life without a roof over our head...

Our new clock!

Bought this nice black clock in Malacca for RM 59.90.

It was love at 1st sight for me.

Somehow I knew it will fit in nicely with our Scanteak loots and didn't bother consulting him at all =>

There were white/red/black versions.

Was deciding between white and black.

The clock design seems so scandinavian with its simple clean lines.

Although our main design for the living is supposed to evolve around the minimalist theme but it seems to be shifting towards 'woody' style with the amount of Scanteak items that we have accumulated over the months.

 Might spray paint certain numerals on the clock to a different colour, eg: baby pink/blue?

Shiseido Aqualabel Review

Bought Shiseido Aqualabel Moisture Lotion S (Moisturising range) & Shiseido Aqualabel White Up Emulsion R (Whitening range) to try a few weeks back.

Shiseido Aqualabel Moisture Lotion S is something like a toner but actually acts more like a softener.

Softeners help to soften and prep the skin, remove dead skin cells, maintain skin's natural PH balance, suitable for all skin types and gentle on eye and neck areas.

Initially I got confused what exactly is its function due to its ambiguous label.

After trying it out, I would have to say it does a good job in softening and prepping up my skin.

Most importantly, the Moisturising range is said to contain collagen glycerin which I hope would help to keep my skin supple and wrinkle free.

Skin feels moisturised after use and seems to minimise pore especially around my T zone.

No sticky feeling. Not too watery which allows for easier application. No weird smell.

 I would highly recommend wetting  cotton pads with Shiseido Aqualabel Moisture Lotion S and place it on the face especially under the eyebags region for around 10 mins to ensure the full moisturising effect.

As for Shiseido Aqualabel White Up Emulsion R, I use it as a moisturiser.

It is supposed to have whitening effects and helps to prevent dark spots by inhibiting excessive melanin production.

I would say this product works to a certain extent.

It does not clog pores, moisturises my skin and also gives this rosy translucent glow to my cheeks.

 I would say these 2 products are quite a good buy especially since these were bought during the Watsons Sale at 20% off.

In addition, I also bought Shiseido Aqualabel Bright White Ex (Whitening range) and Shiseido Aqualabel White Clear Foam (Whitening range) for my MIL.

Not too sure how frequently she has been using the 1st product but I do notice some whitening effect on the dark spots.

This product is supposed to be an intensive version of White Up Emulsion R and will be more effective at targeting dark spots.

At the same time, it promotes the healing of skin which has been damaged by UV exposure.

Hopefully the effect would be more pronounced after extensive usage.

As for the 2nd product, she finds it quite ok.

No squeaky clean feeling and does not dry up the skin.

Note: Aqualabel is slightly cheaper in Taiwan. Time to stock up on next trip!

Another facial foam which I found to be quite gentle is the Hada Labo facial wash.

Super gentle and really helps to soften the skin.

Sneaking into Park Central – Commando style Part II

It has been confirmed that the Indian guy whom I suspected to be tailing us in our previous visit to Park Central is indeed one  of the guards for PC.

When we dropped by the site on Sunday, we could see him sitting near the car porch drop-off point chatting on his handphone again.

Anyway the site looks really done up compared to the last time we went.

No more ugly mud piles all over the place.

Shrubs and grasses are all planted.

Nice!

Guess we should be receiving the key collection letter this week =>

See how the blue sky and green leaves complement  our tall white units!
