This is one of my craziest weeks at SMU.. There’s a presentation, assignment or mid-term due everyday (and some day two!), all the way till friday. Talking about “Squeeze you dry”, they really take it a step further here… If you want a life, please don’t come here. Go somewhere else, like NUS or smith.
My tooth had been giving some problems lately, hurting like crazy to the extend that it’s causing me a headache, leaving me with no choice, but to get it fixed despite the busy schedule. I swear from today on, I will polish my teeth everyday till it sparkles… Once I get my dental health back in order, I shall consider doing some teeth bleaching treatment to make it white and pretty. Colgate, you need teeth model?
One of my goals this year is to slim down and get back the four-pack I used to have years ago when I was more active. Well, but it’s not too late to get back into shape, just as it’s not too late to start anything. I have recently rejoined the Fitness First gym (that’s the view from the gym…) again and they offered me their highest end membership-card Platinum First-Club. Since, I’ve been hitting the club twice a week. Hoping to eventually get the “RAIN” body.
My personal trainer shared with me the concept of the CPF of food selection, which I thought was brilliant.
C: Choice – What you eat is important when coming to weight control.
P: Portion – How much you eat at each meal will also affect your diet plan
F: Frequency – We should ideally eat small meals, 6 a day.
That’s all for now; just a snippet of what I’ve learnt. Will share more about this in an upcoming post dedicated to this. Stay Tuned!
I’ve been a lot more active in twitter and Facebook status updates lately, tweeting about love inspirations, leading to many friends to think that I’m attached. Hahah… NO, I’M STILL SINGLE… But seriously, i don’t regret a single bit of single-hood, although I really like to get attached soon, since I’m no longer that young anymore.
My friends have been telling me that I’m Single not because no one wants me, but because my bar is set too high. But seriously I won’t give in to lowering the bar, because I don’t enter a relationship for fun. If I don’t see myself potentially living happily ever after with the girl, I won’t want to waste each others’ time. Just my thoughts.
By the way, I don’t really go for looks, but if you want me to point out how my dream girl should look like, here’s it. Yes, I just discovered it this morning on the way to SMU, watching this korean music video.
Styling my hair everyday can sometimes be an uphill tasks, especially in scenarios where I wake up late, am rushing for time; and the reasons can go on…. How do I overcome this? Simple. I wear a hat! Haha…. As I begin venturing into becoming a fashion geek, I am discovering new ways to still look good with minimal effort. Keep a look out as I share more as I discover. =)
my outfit today makes me look like super Mario. It’s cute and took me less than 2-3 minutes to prepare between getting out of bathroom and hitting the roads.
My recent favorite song. I have no clue why, but I’ve been listening to quite a number of korean music lately…hahaa… guess music is universal?
Happy Valentine’s Day people!
What am I doing blogging at 10:30pm on a Valentine’s tuesday? Because I have no date today?
If you are looking for a lovey dovey post, sorry to disappoint. But maybe after reading this post, you will have something to talk to your girl about, that she will appreciate?
I’ve been wanting to buy this special brush for a long time after seeing how my stylist Kai masterfully uses something similar to set my hair into shape even before putting any products(Gel/Clay/Spray).
Okie.. This is the real deal. Kent brushes. It is actually the official brush maker commissioned by the Queen of England herself. It’s up for grabs at Watsons at SGD 30+ if you are interested.
You might be wondering? What is so special about this brush? Why cannot use comb? Well, each styling “tool” has a different use, and I will start blogging about all these in future posts ok? So stay tuned. Bookmark my page, follow me on twitter or add me on facebook to get the updates.
Brushes are used to help your hair get the curl, without going for a perm or using those hair-iron-like-devices. Don’t think as curl just for girls. In-fact guys needs curl in the hair too, to increase volume. Many of the latest korean/jap hairstyle for guys will require some curl to make it easier to style.
A first look at this picture will make you wonder: why on earth is this water bottle brush thing sticking out of some metal bee-hive right? Actually this metal beehive like body of the brush is made of ceramic (aka thermal core), which helps retain heat generated from your hair-dryer in order to heat up the hair abit to retain the curl (which follows the shape of the brush when you “curl” your hair with it). But just like warning says on the packing.. Do not wind too much, especially if you have long hair as it will really cause your hair to “lock” up and you will end up wasting a lot of time to entangle it. Yes, locking happens even if you have nice silky hair after conditioner!
Lastly, please do not use the hair dryer for an extended period of time. This will not only spoil your hair, it might also melt the bristle of the brush. It’s better to blow for 30 seconds, take a rest for 10 seconds, and then 30 seconds again. You know what I mean, and this is just a rough gauge. So see what deems fit and share your experience on the comments section!!!
Oh my.. I can’t believe what I’m seeing, but if this were true, it really goes to show something about this girl.
You will also get old one day, and I’m very sure you do not want this to happen to you right?
Hellos, 안녕하세요, こんにちは, 你好, if you had been following my blog, you will be wondering where have I been for the past 20+ days. Don’t worry… I didn’t disappear, was just super busy with many events and assignments.
In this 20 plus day, so many things have happened…. We saw tuesday transition to a new lunar year, I was mentioned on newspaper, I took up a new position at Jeric Salon, I submitted 7 assignments, my twitter followers went from mere 120 to over 1500 now (Yay!!!), I began working out again by signing a gym membership, bought a new bag, made some new friends, drank half a can of coffee powder already, re-organized my room with new furnitures and the list goes on…..
Ok… Before I go into the details, here are some shots I caught in the past year… Yes!!! I am not letting it go unmentioned!!!
A pair of twins falling asleep on the bus… Don’t you think they look very cute and brotherly?
This is my cute little rabbit… She’s 1yrs old and she grows fatter by the day. Girls somehow go crazy over her! Maybe I should bring her to zouk next time; not that I’ve been sidelined at zouk. But what better way to get the attention of cute young babes with a loving heart? Jking~
See my name? I was quite surprised when I got a tweet from TNP reporter about it. But I guess it is a pleasant surprise. In the socialmedia space, the early bird gets the worm to eat. Maybe that’s why blogger Alvin brands his blog as “Yes you saw it here first”?
I have been wearing this lovely pair of slippers around and many friends have commented that it’s very cute. So I thought I share a picture of it here. Somehow it attracts a lot of attention when I wear it out.

. OKAY. After thinking for sometime, I shall not post all the stale news, cos no one is going to need it or read it anyways. hahaa… >_< Late bird got no worm to eat!?!
Jeric has been especially kind to sponsor my hair over the past year and I’m very grateful for it. We got to know each other in 2007 when I first went to him, through a friend’s recommendation. Over the years, we got to know each other better, and eventually became friends. Jeric has asked me on several occasions if I was interested to help him out, and Feb 2012, I thought, this is the right time for me. Besides it’s going to be a lot of fun; I’d be doing something I love doing anyways: Social Media. My quest now will be to help Jeric develop a feasible social media strategy. If you are a blogger and interested to work with us, I’d be happy to meet up with you to discuss more. Drop me a note at darren-at-jeric.sg.
There is going to be some major changes in my blog in the coming months. Will get proper professional photography done up for my site in the coming weeks, as well as setting a visual theme for photos so that my blog don’t look like rainbow. I’ve also set some new exciting direction for my content. Stay tuned!
Have a great week ahead! For me, FML! Full of mid-terms next week. I hope I will be sadistic enough to enjoy it. If you manage to find a way to enjoy exams, tell me how! Oh ya. Please follow-me ya? http://www.twitter.com/darrensim
The weather in Singapore has been pretty erratic this month; being very hot in the morning and heavy downpours in the afternoon. I was just complaining about the heat in the morning. Who knows? After lunch, suddenly heavy raiN!! 
So instead of walking back to SMU after lunch, I had to take MRT instead.
The fastest way from Bugis back to Bras Basah is to take a train from Bugis to Cityhall, then walk to Esplanade station and change to circle line. While I was walking along the under-path link to Esplanade, guess what… It appeared that the heavy downpour has caused the basement of Raffles City to be really WETTTT!
Some shops had to close and staff members taking pictures of the scene…
Mall maintenance team fighting to keep the water at bay…
Ewww… SO disgusting…
This is not wet floor already… It’s very very wet….
Aunty… You win liao lor… This one not foot reflexology leh… Later kena cut by the sharp metal, you sue people never put sign to “WANG” you that it is dangerous, like how that old women sue mac-donald for the hot coffee scalding her and never put cautious hot on the cup (read more on the mac-donald case)
Oh no!!! Even the circle line ceiling is leaking… Will it collapse? OMG!!!
This morning was a super rushed one for me as I had a few deadlines that were due by noon and had about 30+ pages of readings to complete before 7pm! Adding on to this I had a 8.30am meeting with two new team members for a business process project; Arthur and Penelope (yes, her name is damn unique).
Miraculously I somehow managed to finnish 3 deadlines + 1 meeting + 1 long phone conference call by 1145 am! What an achievement right? To reward myself, Arthur and Penelope was very nice to accompany me to Clark Quay to savor this Bak Kut Teh (map) opposite Central Mall (map).
Introducing Arthur and Penelope…
All these photos are taken and editing using my iPhone, so it’s abit cui… Sorry…
I’m really excited, because this is the first time I am drinking Chinese tea at a Bak Kut Teh place… I know very sua ku, but…. It was damn fun…. I think this is called “ya pian” or duno what pian.
Oh my… Look at these small cups… Must drink how many cups then can quench my thirst? I NEED TO ATTEND TEA APPRECIATION CLASS!
Woops… It’s called 香片 (xiang pian), not ya pian… Just remembered ya pian is some drug.. hahaa…
Arthur’s steady hands…
This is the “first round tea”, which technically is not good for drinking. Arthur said the first round must pour away, after that then can drink, so not so bitter.
OOoh… Look at my deliciously yummy Bak Kut Teh… Yummy… The soup can refill for free.. Free的！
Notice? It does not come with 油条 (you tiao). So if you want, please order it as a side-order. I have to say this play is quite decently priced (SGD 10 each) for the location and quality of food. I highly recommend this place and founder’s bak kut teh if you want to host your foreign friends to a local feast.
After that, I went back to office to collect my Gmarket delivery… Yay! Finally after 6 weeks… Guess what? To make up for the late delivery, they gave me two small bottles of perfume which I gave to my nicest group mates.
