My skin has improved tremendously since I went to the famous dermatologist in KL. My skin cleared up just after one visit and it has stabilised since with no more breakouts. So now if I have friends asking me where the best acne treatment is in KL, I know exactly where to recommend them to now! Just be sure you can stomach the long queues just to see the famous doctor!
Two weekends ago, sis and some friends were down here for a weekend of fun and shopping. We went to the shopping malls but sadly most weren't on sale. I spotted a pair of really nice Cole Haan shoes that were incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately it cost an arm and a leg! Hopefully it goes on sale during the mid-year Great Singapore Sale and there are sizes left too!
I was left puzzling over an RM25 charge on my company credit card just before I cancelled it. I was very sure that I had not incurred any expenses on it recently and in the end, filed a dispute form. Turns out that this charge was the Government's charge for credit card holders as a way to curb overspending on credit cards! It wasn't even tied to credit card processing charges! Ours must be the only country where the Government tries to control spending!
Last year was a bad year worldwide. People were losing jobs and being laid off almost everyday. However, this year seems a little more optimistic with job recruitment advertisements starting to appear again like the city of philadelphia jobs ads I recently saw online. Hopefully the world economy will improve.
I have an Olympus camera that recently spoilt when some water got on it. I'm now wondering if I should throw it away as the hubs recently bought me a DSLR. I did pack it up to be thrown away but my mom suggested trying to repair it or at least salvage the micro sd card inside in case it can be used on a different camera. I think the SD card should fit but I think the cost of repairing might not be worth while.
In a blink of an eye, we're already heading into the 3rd month of 2010! Have you accomplished what you have hoped to accomplish? Well, if you haven't, now is a good time to start! Also, start looking for your Mother's Day gifts early to beat the crowds at the mall who are all hunting for the best mothers day gifts. This year, why not do something different like cook a home cooked meal or enjoy a day out with that special woman in your life? She'll appreciate it a lot more than an expensive gift!
Chinese New Year is over and my holidas have gone by in a wink of an eye! Boohoo...with Chinese New Year comes the Chinese New Year weight gain too and the whole process to lose weight in the next few months! Its a never ending cycle! But it was really good while it lasted!
I've had thin hair all my life. It never grew from the flat baby hair I used to have and I have always admired people who hve hair with body. I've tried all kinds of shampoo for thin hair including some recently advertised Dove shampoo which promised to give body and lift to my hair. But all it gave me was just more dropping hair! Sigh, looks like I'm destined to live with my thin hair!
I've recently been receiving a lot of spam in my handphone and emails. It can really be very irritating especially since my phone beeps continuously each time I receive but do not check a message. I believe these companies must obtain our numbers from he many free web directory services available. I've heard that information nowadays can be bought for as little as 10 cents!
I've been seeing lots of anti aging face cream products in the market recently. Almost every advertiement targets anti-aging and anti-wrinkle and women everywhere certainly believe in them, judging from the reviews I've been reading. I'm guessing that I'll have to start investing in some anti aging face cream myself in a few more years! All women want to look young and beautiful for as long as they possibly can!
Is hair loss common amongst women? I recently experienced quite a bit of hair loss. I thought it was due to my long hair and cut it shorter. I even tried female pattern hair loss therapies but my hair still continued to drop by the handfuls everytime I took a shower. My hairdresser told me the hair loss is probably due to stress! Maybe I should stop buying hair loss treatment products and book myself a relaxing holiday instead!
You know you've crossed into adulthood when you constantly have to think about insurance and how to protect your loved ones should anything unfortunate happen to you. I've recently had to pay my annual premium and although it is steep, it is nevertheless pretty important for my older years. I did some online research on http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net to check for cheaper premiums but have a bit of reservations about buying insurance online. Would you do it?
I was out at Bangsar yesterday and noticed that SUVs seem to be the way to go today. Gone are the sporty sedans driven around by expatriates. In its place are stylish brand new SUVs which I believe cost a whole lot more than most sedans. Hopefully it stops at SUVs and doesn't go beyond that into RVs. I can't imagine huge RVs trundling around even if cheap rv financing is available!
My husband's poor niece suffers from bad allergies. She is allergic to most seafood and even milk which means most foods are off-limits for her. Her parents have been trying all kinds of allergy relief to help her live a more normal and comfortable life but it does not seem to be helping her much. Its a little scary how allergies are so common in our everyday life now. It must be all the pollution and food we eat.
Its the New Year once again and as usual lots of New Year resolutions will be made, especially losing weight. However, not many end up keeping their New Year resolutions and more often than not, people end up breaking their resolutions after a few months. If your resolution is to lose some weight, remember that it is always better to get proper diets that work instead of eating diet pills.
Its surprising to know how few people know how to use the internet for information. I was just speaking to a colleague today and learnt that she didn't really know how to use the internet at all, even for looking for things! Honestly, I don't think I can live without the internet! I would much prefer looking for something online than in a physical web directory! I think I've even forgotten how to use a telephone directory! Which do you prefer?
Recently I've noticed a high number of sales people coming to bug you during your lunch. I was recently disturbed during my lunch by someone selling some nutrisystem products that were supposed to be good for you. He even offered lots of positive nutrisystem reviews from supposed customers. These sales people should know that disturbing people during their lunch hour or while they are enjoying a meal isn't exactly the best way to make some good sales!
I happened to be driving downtown the other day and was surprised to see a hemorrhoids doctor's clinic promising hemorrhoid pain relief to those who suffer from it. I wasn't aware that any doctors specialised in something so specific as hemorrhoids! However, it is certainly welcome news for hemorrhoid sufferers as it is apparently very painful and in some serious cases could even cause complications. One of the best ways to prevent it is to drink lots of water, ensure you eat lots of high fibre foods and do some light exercises.
I was unfortunate to have bad skin when I was a teenager which led to many acne scars. I've been recommended many things for the scars from Vitamin E oil to some of the best acne scar cream around. However, my scars still remain although they may have flattened a little. Short of doing some sort of cosmetic or laser surgery, there isn't a real cure for acne scars so I guess I'll just have to live with them!
I recently sold my car just before my car insurance was due. Although I did not get quite the price I wanted, I was still nevertheless relieved that I now did not have to spend time hunting for the cheapest car insurance rates in town as my car insurance was just falling due the week after I sold it. I'll miss my little car though...it was no luxury car but it served me really well!
