Happenings in June - Usual's Dinner Gathering + Singapore Twitter Frenzy Award

Friday 8/6/12

Thank God It's Friday. It's finally the usual's dinner gathering again. I can't remember when was the last time we meet up for dinner besides event. It must have been very long.

Decided to have our dinner at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng 旺角茶餐厅 @ Bugis Junction.

I had my bacon and cream spaghetti. Haha, this definitely don't look creamy to me.

Whenever I'm at 旺角茶餐厅, I will always order spaghetti without fail. Shall try other flavours next time round.

Friday always make me happy (:

With Linda and Terence.

We had a great laugh over my dinner topic - The two new upcoming movies: Piranha 3dd and Sadako 3D. The way they described the movie was so funny ~

GF and William waiting for their food.

If you think our night is ending here, you are wrong.

After our dinner, it's time for happy hour. We went to Beaver's Pub and Grill which we promised William to visit the other time.

While waiting for more food and drink, had a picture with GF.

Woo, chicken wings were here.

Lol, our drink were here too.

We were teasing William all night about his latest scandal. Recently, William has been approached by a guy on facebook to ask him for non-anal fun, kiss, hug and oral job for $300. 

I have never imagine such situation could happen to any of my friends. That is so disgusting. But not to worry, my friend did not accept the offer, he is not a male whore.

I had to admit that I could not take the spiciness of these hot and spicy chicken wings. Too hot for me!

I need Stella Artois to cool me down. It was bitter at the beginning but sweet towards the end.

Potato with cheese.

What a heavy dinner we had. I went home with a bloated stomach and a ultra red face. Did I mention before that I will flushed the minute I drink alcohol. I looked like some red tomato that attract lots of attention in train. All right, need to have a good rest.

Good night, everyone.

Saturday 9/6/12

I had a relaxing afternoon at Wave House Sentosa. Together with a group of friends and bloggers, we attended the Singapore's first Twitter Frenzy Award.

Sentosa is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. In conjunction with the World Twitter Day, Singapore Twitter Frenzy Award was launched. Twitter lovers were invited to take part in the Twitter Frenzy Hashtag game for a chance to win over $1,000 worth of prizes.

A place which holds a lot of my good memories.

I love Sentosa, my favourite beautiful island.

Settled down with GF while waiting for the ceremony to start.

Catch up with Linda who was back from her Taiwan trip.

Threesome with GF and Linda. So happy to see them again despite meeting them up just yesterday.

Silver Ang was the host of the day.

Singapore Twitter Frenzy Award began with mini quiz to the audience and prizes to be won. Who is up for it?

Couldn't resist ourselves to take more pictures.

Took a picture with the brunch while listening to lovely songs by our homegrown singer Shimona Kee.

Congratulations to William, Jeremy and Chiro for winning Singapore Twitter Frenzy Award.

Though I did not manage to win anything, but I still felt happy for my friends who have won the prizes. Congratulations to everyone who won!!!

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Dream Team Blogger Event

Thanks Kiehl's for the invitation, I attended their Midnight Recovery Dream Team Blogger Event. I must say this is the most relaxing and cozy event I have ever been. I can fall asleep instantly over at the event. Continue reading to find out why?

Arriving at Social Haus when the event took place.

It is located at 1 Yong Siak Street. A mini bar that is perfect for a drink and chilling out with friends.

Upon enterering, we were warmly greeting by Mr Bone, Midnight Recovery series, lovely wall decoration and friendly Kiehl's personnel.

The room were filled with Lavender Essential Oil and Lavender petals aroma, which make us feel at ease and relax.

The two wonder products of Kiehl's - Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye.

Midnight Recovery Concentrate is 99.8% naturally derived botanical elixir that in today, it is already a leading customer favourite due to its ability to restore skin overnight. Therefore, Kiehl's launches its ideal companion: Midnight Recovery Eye helps to achieve fresher, younger looking eyes by morning by diminishing puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles.

Two key ingredients present in the Midnight Recovery series - Powerful blend of Essential and Botanical Oils.

- Soothe inflamed or irritated skin

- Reduce skin blotchiness for a more even look

Benefits of Botanical Oils

- Restore skin's natural moisture balance

 - Lightweight with excellent penetrating qualities

- Non toxic, non irritant, non allergen

Surrounded by pillows, hugging one to sleep.

Now do you agree with me that there is the most cozy event ever???

Tick tock! Tick tock! Time to sleep.

I need to head to bed and get my beauty sleep. Good night, everyone. 

ZzzZzzZzz.

GF was in her Melody pyjamas. So cute right?

Delicious and yummy finger food were served during the event.

Without any further ado, lets begin Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Dream Team presentation.

Hugging a pillow throughout the presentation.

Do I look cute with it?

The Dream Team presented the purely potent overnight repair:

So what is our idea of a good morning?

To me, an ideal good morning will be going to bed and waking up each day with softer and smoother skin.

And Kiehl's has come up with Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye which promises to deliver just that.

In the day, our skin is busy fending off environmental aggressors like free radicals. At night, the skin gets a breather to repair the damages, as there are few environmental aggressors to detract it from its healing process. 

The formulations of  Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye enhance the natural repair and regeneration process at night, when our skin is at its maximum ability to absorb nourishing ingredients. 

This dream team is formulated with a complex blend of botanical oils including Squalane, Evening Primrose and essential oils including therapeutic Lavender which are rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 to biologically replicate skin's natural lipids and dramatically restore skin overnight. 

Lets hear from the expert:

The key factor in maintaining a youthful complexion and healthy skin function is to provide your skin with the essential oils.

This should be our night skincare regime:

- Cleanse

- Tone

- Midnight Recovery Eye

- Serum

- Midnight Recovery Concentrate

- Moisturizer

Midnight Recovery Concentrate

This formulation boosts the repair and regeneration of skin when it is naturally programmed to best absorb active ingredients, typically between midnight to 4am. Some of the key benefits are:

- Visibly restores skin's appearance by morning

- Replenishes depleted skin

- Instantly penetrates skin for smoother, more radiant complexion

Retail price: $90.00 for 30ml

Midnight Recovery Eye 

Due to the unique vulnerability of the under-eye area, puffiness and wrinkles is one of the leading skin concerns of women. They appear in the eye area as early as the age of 30. Therefore, proper skincare is essential to maintain healthy and younger looking under-eye skin.

Some key benefits are:

- Diminishes the appearance of fine lines

- Reduces puffiness

- Reduces dark under-eye circles

Retail Price: $72.00 for 15ml

Take home with myself the valuable lesson learnt as well as the two amazing products.

I will be doing the product review soon in my next post. Do keep a lookout for it okay???

With William.

The Kiehl's boys were in their pyjamas too. The colour of their pyjamas come in line with the Midnight Recovery series. That explained when the product banner went camouflaged in their hands.

GF and I had our photo with the Mr Bone and the two products.

Even Mr Bone was ready for bed too, he even had his sleeping mask on. Shall not disturb him. Sssshhhhhh.

We simply ♥ Kiehl's. 

The loyal fans of Kiehl's.

When the loyal fans of Kiehl's reunite, we were crazy with taking more pictures.

Until we become tired and sleepy. Yawn-ing away!

Kiehl's has lined up a series of activities for us. So right after my pampering massage session, I embarked on tea session next.

We get to choose and make our own teabags.

We  tried all the 3 different flavours of tea - Chamomile Tea, Lavender Tea and Rose Tea.

My favourite is gonna be Lavender Tea. It made me felt so relaxed and stress-free, perfect for drinking after massage.

I felt so pampered and spoilt ♥

GF and I got our teabags, we packed home with the 3 flavours each.

Thanks for serving us the flower tea.

That's not all. We went on to customized our pillow. We actually get to bring home our own "design" pillow. How awesome is that?

And to thanks Kiehl's for their great hospitality, I designed my pillow with Kiehl's logo on it so that I will think of them everyday when I went to sleep.

Our end product.

Group photo to end off the photo.

Once again, I will like to thank Kiehl's for this wonderful event. Not only do I get to bring home the awesome products, I have great catch up with all the friendly Kiehl's personnel. 

You guys did a great job. Hope to see you guys soon again ♥
