Pontian Bak Kut Teh @ Tampines

Had Bak Kut Teh dinner at Tampines with B again! But this time we brought different friends there to try.

We ordered pretty much the same dishes as the previous time except that we ordered an additional soup, pig trotter, pickled vegetable and peanuts because we have more people so we can order more varieties.

Below were pictures of the main dishes that we ordered:

Bak Kut Teh

Vegetable

Tou Fu

Pig Trotter

This was actually the first time I try their pig trotter and I find it good. I find that the meat of the pig trotter is tender, not too oily and full of collagen. And as always, their vegetable feels so fresh and crispy, simply delicious. Yums~

All in all, the dinner was yummy and not very expensive.

Monsters University

Do you remember the movie, Monsters, Inc. in 2001?

If you do, you will probably remember Mike, the green monster with a single big eyeball and Sulley, the giant furry blue monster with horns and purple spots! But if you don't, you can take a look at the picture below to see who Mike and Sulley is~

Mike and Sulley

Aren't they adorable?

Well, do you miss them if you know who they are? Do you wish to get to know them if you don't?

Fret Not! Because no matter whether you wish to know them or you miss them, very soon, you will be able to see them in the upcoming movie called the Monsters University. It will be releasing in Singapore on the 20th June 2013.

Monsters University

Well, the Monsters University is an upcoming animated comedy film produced by the Pixar Animation Studios and released by the Walt Disney Pictures. It is a prequel  to the 2001's Monsters, Inc.

In Monsters University, we will get to know everything all the way back to where and how it all began. We will see how Mike and Sulley first met and how they overcame their differences and became the best of friends.

Excited?

You will feel excited especially if you have watched Monsters, Inc. and would like to know how Mike and Sulley know each other to become the best of friends.

And YES, I am very excited to watch this film!

One of the reasons is because I like to watch comedy genre film, especially if, it is an animated one. I have always been excited about cartoon-animated film because when I watch it, I feel young all over again. Not that I am old, but it makes me feel younger~ Haha!

And of course, another reason is because of Monsters, Inc.! With Monsters University being the prequel of Monsters, Inc., it will be interesting to see how both Mike and Sulley get to know each other in their university days. Besides, it is so lovely to see these two adorable monsters, Mike and Sulley once again!

Are you as excited as I am to catch the Monsters University?

If you are as excited as I am, you could watch this trailer while anticipating~

Lastly, remember to catch Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” in Singapore cinemas this 20 June 2013!

Fast & Furious 6

Watched the Fast & Furious 6 at AMK Hub with B. I must say, it's a very good film with lots of actions and stunts. It is fast-paced with lots of car-chase scenes and I really enjoy every bit of it. It is exciting and entertaining at the same time. And lastly, I must say that they did a very good job for the closing where they give us an excitement to the next instalment. Catch it before it zooms away!

Introduction
Fast & Furious 6 is a 2013 action film written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin. It is the sixth installment in the Fast and the Furious film series. The film stars are Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Chris Bridges, Luke Evans, Gina Carano, and John Ortiz. Fast & Furious 6 follows a professional criminal gang led by Dominic Toretto (Diesel) who have retired following their successful heist in Fast Five (2011), but remain wanted fugitives. U.S. Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) offers to clear the group's criminal records and allow them to return home in exchange for helping him to take down a skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw (Evans) and his second in command, Dominic's presumed-dead lover Letty Ortiz (Rodriguez).

Story
Following their successful Rio heist, Dominic Toretto and his crew of professional criminals have retired around the world: Dominic lives with Elena; his sister Mia lives with Brian O'Conner and their son, Jack; Gisele and Han have moved to Hong Kong; and Roman and Tej live in luxury.

Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs and his partner Riley investigate the destruction of a Russian military convoy by former British Special Forces soldier Owen Shaw and his crew. Hobbs tracks down Dominic and persuades him to help take down Shaw after showing him a recent photo of Letty Ortiz, Dominic's former girlfriend, whom he thought was dead. Dominic gathers his crew together and they accept the mission in exchange for full amnesty for their past crimes, which will allow them to return home to the United States; Mia and Elena remain with Jack.

Laneige K-Beauty

Having a pretty face and a dewy complexion is what every ladies would adores!

Everything with related to "K", like K-Pop, K-Drama and also K-Beauty, are becoming popular and popular these days. As a result, many people would love to listen to K-Pop, to watch K-Drama and most importantly, to achieve the K-Beauty looks!

But you might ask, how do you achieve K-Beauty looks?

The secret is Laneige! Yes, you can be inspired and create your own K-Beauty looks with Laneige, one of Korea’s leading premium cosmetic brand. And you could achieve K-Beauty looks like Song Hye Kyo~

Laneige was launched in 1994 in Korea, it is a premium cosmetic brand that promotes lively, youthful skin with its most advanced ‘water science’ technology. Meaning ‘natural snow’ in French, Laneige values the artistic sense of snow crystals and its source, water. Positioning itself as the ‘moisture-expert’ brand, Laneige introduces a variety of ‘Water-full’ skincare and make-up products to bring confidence and sophisticated beauty to young female consumers, and women who want to achieve the radiant, dewy skin they have always longed for. Since its first launch overseas in 2002, Laneige can be found in 475 counters, in department stores and freestanding stores across 13 countries around the globe, as of December 2012.

From what I know, water and moisture are very important in keeping the skin radiant and young. I chanced upon Laneige a while ago and after looking through their products on their websites, I really feel like trying them out.

Among all, my favourite Laneige skincare product will be the Water Sleeping Pack.

Why?

Because it has a light gel-type texture, so there will be no stickiness after applying and it will be comfortable to sleep with. And most importantly, the Water Sleeping Pack is able to provides intensive hydration, vitality, and brightening effect, all while I am asleep!

Isn't this great?!

Well, Laneige also have a range of make-up products!

And my favourite Laneige make-up product will be the Snow BB Soothing Cushion.

Why?

The reason is that the Snow BB Soothing Cushion contains five active ingredients all in one product. So what are the five benefits?

Look at the picture below and you will know~

Whitening + Sun Protection + Soothing Effect + Sweat-Proof + Skin Tone Correction

Good right?! ^_^

In particular, I like the Sweat-Proof and the Sun Protection feature the most.

I feel that the Sweat-Proof formula is good, especially good for hot and humid country like Singapore. This is because with the Sweat-Proof formula, the make-up will be able to stay beautifully throughout the whole day, providing long-lasting coverage all day long.

The Sun Protection of SPF50 PA+++ is really convenient as it is able to help in protecting the skin from the harmful UV rays, without having to apply any separate sunscreen. This is good especially when you are running late for work, school or date.

Furthermore, the Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion is compact so it is very convenient for you to bring it anywhere. This way, touching up is easy and hence, making flawless skin possible anytime, anywhere!

To conclude, I really love their products! After looking through them, I am so tempted to try them all and I hope to create my own K-Beauty looks~

Are you tempted to try them too?
