Makeup - NARS Eyeshadows

I was walking in the Ocean Terminal (HK) one day and spotted some eye makeups at the NARS counter. They have heaps of colours there.


Since the eyeshadows I had in my collection were all pale colours, (ie light pink, cream, etc) I wanted to get some colours that will stand out more on my eyes. The lady there was very patient, she was trying to demostrate 'smoky' eyes on my eyes....
Two new colours were added into my collection:



2 colours (without flash)

Still haven't tried the eyeshadows as yet...hehe

Back to Sydney...again

I went to HK at the end of September for about 2 weeks, to attend a good friend's wedding, and of course, some retail therapy^^

I had a good time indeed, 2 weeks away from work and all that. When I came back, people told me that I LOOK relaxed.:)

Although I didn't get to go to other interesting places this time (other than Shenzhen and Zhuhai), I got to spend time with my family, which was very valuable to me.

I will be posting some interesting photos hat I took from this trip, might take awhile though :)

MOTIVATION NEEDED

Been really busy but demotivated lately, so ...

I SERIOUSLY NEEDED SOME MOTIVATION

Singapore Stopover Aug 07

We stopped at Singapore for a few days before we head back to Sydney from Taipei. Although the temperature (according to the weather report) was similar to Taipei, it felt more humid and hotter.

Since Singapore is a small city, we basically just walk around the city area after some more retail therapy :P







so many ppl on Orchard Road



And after some nice food too :)

Taiwan - Taipei Computer Exihibition

I was looking at the Yahoo Taiwan website in the hotel when we were in Taiwan one night and found out that there was a computer exhibition at the Taipei Convention Centre. And it was free on the last day of the exhibition. We thought, perfect, we could just go there on the way, as we were heading towards to that direction (Taipei 101) anyway.

Taiwan - Making of Hot Herbal Jelly

We were walking in the Raohe Nightmarket one night. It was raining on that night, so not alot of stalls were open.

After dinner and dessert, we spotted this stall selling cold herbal jelly, herbal teas, and guess what, HOT HERBAL JELLY AS WELL! (Apparently it was summer in that time we went there, so there wasn't alot of places selling hot herbal jellies because of the weather)

However we found out that they only sell hot ones during winter time. But the person there was nice enough to make one for me - maybe because he saw the disappointment on my face.

Therefore I was lucky enough to see the making of the hot herbal jelly:)

Step 1: Cooking of syrup


Step 2: heating up of herbal tea (仙草茶）


Step 3:Mixing syrup and corn flour into herbal tea
