Song Sharing Sunday - 148 [Chariots Of Fire ~ Theme Song]
Attended my younger son's Primary One Orientation Programme yesterday and this song came into my mind as I walked into the familiar school gate holding that little hand in mine...

Does Weight Really Matters To Women?
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a Beauty Pageant for the oversize women in America.
Definitely something very different from the usual Miss World or Miss Universe.
They were holding their heads up high and feeling confident of the body they are in.
Then I saw this article 'floating' around in Facebook and I thought hhhmmm.... its good to share it here:
A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"
The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:
"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.
Mermaids do not exist.
But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?
Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.
At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.
We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated. Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "

11 11 11
Its exactly 11th November 2011, 11:11am.

5 elevens!
Because of the movie 11 11 11, some people feel insecure on this day and believe that something negative is going to happen.
Oh man!
Give me a break!
Its just a beautiful set of numbers and something that will never happen again in another hundred years, when it becomes 11th November 2111, 11:11am.
*smile*

Evian water is good for skin, True?
Her beautician told her that using Evian water to wash her face and drinking Evian water every day will help to improve her complexion. She replaced her usual (plain) drinking water with Evian water. Her beautician gave this suggestion because of the pH level of 7.2 in the Evian water, which is very close to the normal human blood of pH 7.4.
She tried and it worked! Of cos' it was not instantaneous, but over some weeks.
Then, few days later, when I went for my make-up lesson cum 'how to take care of your skin' lesson, my teacher also mentioned about cleaning the face with mineral water. As she was marketing her company's brand, it was unethical for her to mention any other brands, even though her company does not produce mineral water. So it remains a mystery as to what mineral water did I use on my face during that lesson. But it sure feels good.
Anyhow, I started buying, drinking and using Evian water on my face ever since my sister's friend let out this 'secret' to her good skin complexion.
Last year end, I started to sleep at around 3am. The lack of rest or late nights have affected my skin complexion BIG TIME! There were more acnes, especially during pre-menstruation period, and the blemishes does not lighten in days anymore, but months!
My sister's wedding is just less than a month away, I had to do something to my face. Some Major Changes to my Lifestyle. Just like what my make-up teacher said: "Even if you use the best skin care products, but you do not change your lifestyle (late night rest), you will not see improvements in your skin. Our skin rejuvenate every day between 10pm to 3am."
Me: "Oh no! By sleeping at 3am, I have totally missed the rejuvenation period every day!"
Teacher: "Yes, you need to rest during that period, in order for your skin to rejuvenate well."
I am thankful that I found this teacher and because of that I am helping her to group women, who wants to improve their skin condition or learn the skills of proper make up, together for her classes, in return of her kindness. Though she did suggest that I should become a trainer or referrer myself to earn some income, but because of my 'uncontrollable' time-table, I rejected.
Hence, I do not earn a cent by grouping these women together. Its purely my style. I just love to share good stuff.***Let me know if you are interested to come for my teacher's classes too. Leave a comment and I will get back to you.
Anyhow, its less than 24 days to my sister's big day and I want to look good that day, even though the limelight is not on me. *laugh*
I am definitely INTO this Evian water 'treatment' thing now. Drinking and using it as a toner, instead of washing my face with it, because its rather pricey for me. $2.00+ per bottle to wash?! Errrr.... not a price which my pocket could hold for long before a big hole is created....
Thus I am crossing my fingers and toes and waiting anxiously to see the result of my skin complexion, on my sis's wedding day on 6th December.....

My Spot On Purchase ~ Nexcare Skin Care by 3M
This is not a paid post.
And I am not trying to encourage you to buy it.
But rather this is a post to exclaim how satisfied I am with this product: Nexcare Skin Care by 3M
*giggle*
Yes, you did not see wrongly and I did not purchase the wrong product.
Though it said 'Men', I prefer this packaging than the ones for 'Ladies'.
This packaging consists of 30pieces at S$8.00+.
The 'ladies' packaging consists of lesser than half the quantity and it comes in all shapes and sizes which I think is redundant at the price of S$5.00+ (if I didn't remember wrongly).
Its good for pimples of all sorts: can see 'heads and pus' types and those that cannot.
For me, it works best when the pimple is 'NEW', i.e. probably just came out after a night rest and it appeared the next morning.
From my experiences with it, the 'sticker' SUCKS OUT THE PUS really well when the pimple is 'NEW'.
On the average, its about 2 stickers to get rid of one pimple.
I would usually stick it after my last bath and sleep with it on my face and would remove it before I step out of the house the next day.
Because of this amazing product, teeny-weeny bit of squeezing or NO SQUEEZING was really needed.
The best part is no scars were left behind to add on to my already 'scar-ry' face.
Well, it works really well for me and I love it to the core, especially during those pre-menstruation outbreaks days every month.
*Thumb Ups*

Song Sharing Sunday - 146 [Katy Perry - The One That Got Away]
I love Katy Perry's songs.
So its only natural that I will not miss this out.
Enjoy! *wink*
The One That Got Away Lyrics
Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radio head
And on my 18th birthday we got that chain tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never plan that one day I'd be losing you
And in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was dreaming you were my Johnny Cash
Never one, we got the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
And in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away
All these money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price
In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one
And in another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
