Cherry Blossom In Korea


I'm traveling to Korea for the Cherry Blossom this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch a glimpse of it.

I didn't know Korea has them and it was through a casual conversation with my Korean friends that sparked the idea to travel to Seoul this Spring and I'll venture to Jeju Island at the same time too.

It's great that Singapore Airlines air tickets to Korea are now going cheap at only $745 per person. Yipee!

Alternative to Whatsapp: Kik Messenger!

 I've been using this free app since last November and I'm loving it.


When my best friend in Aussie insisted that I download Whatsapp, I just had to find a free alternative. And so I found Kik and insisted that she used that instead! Now, we Kik each other almost everyday.

Well, maybe I'm not a good judge as to which is better since I haven't tried Whatsapp. But from friends who have used both, I've been told that Kik is better:
  • It's faster than Whatsapp and instant like normal SMS whereas Whatsapp lags sometimes
  • It shows "D", "S" or "R" besides each message sent so you can know whether the message has been delayed by the server, sent or read by the recipient 
  • Basic emoticons are available 
  • It's free!

The downside is that Kik is not supported by BlackBerry 'coz it got "kik" by RIM. Good thing bf has switched from a BB to iPhone.

Musee Platinum Singapore IPL Promotion Galore

I went for my 5th treatment at Musee Platinum today and I must say I was pretty satisfied with the results so far.

My underarms hair growth has slowed a lot. So much so that I need only to shave every 4-5 days. And even so, it's only the few fine hair that's hardly noticeable. They're running a $138 unlimited underarm IPL promotion still until end of Feb 2011 according to the staff. Do quote my membership no.: 81005130 if you're signing up for this great deal! =) 


And if you've signed up at a higher price, they'll cashback the amount when you sign for another package. 

As for the full bikini area, I saw a huge difference after my 2nd treatment. Hair growth has definitely slowed down quite a bit and the hair is finer too. I'm impressed!

For now until 31 Mar 2011, Musee is even running a promotion for the number of friends you refer!



What's more, you can get to enjoy 10% when you flash your Musee card at Kusabi Restaurant. There's 1 outlet at The Central and 1 more at Marina Square.


Lots of good deal when you sign up! Yeah!

Yantra Northern Indian Cuisine Review, Tanglin Mall Singapore

I've always wanted to share this fantastic lunch buffet deal and I finally got down with it today. Strongly recommended by my sister, I met with a few friends over lunch sometime last year at Yantra, a Northern Indian fine dining restaurant at Tanglin Mall.


It cost only $15++ per pax and you'll probably need to make reservations as the buffet lunch is really popular with business executives and tai tais alike.


Here's a glimpse of the yummy food we had that fine afternoon.


If I remember correctly, there're 2 seatings from 12-1pm and 1 to 2pm. 


It's easy to overeat as you cozy up with friends in Yantra's lovely restaurant setting. The dessert we had that day was nice. I don't usually take much of Indian dessert as they're sweet but the one on the left side of the picture below is really delightful!


It's like some kind of fried flour-based dessert soak with sugar and very tantalizing to the tongue.

Happy happy! =)

Age Old Questions: What's My Purpose In Life?

What's your purpose in life? Seriously, I don't think I have quite figured mine out yet...


But I think mine is somewhere along the line of making the most out of God's given talents/gifts to me.

I don't think everyone has a talent, however, I am sure everyone has something positive that they can contribute to the society. Be it being a a great mother or a inspiring business person, find the gift(s) that God has given you.

What's yours?
