How to look like Cheon Song Yi from My Love from the Star

This has to be the hottest Korean drama since Dream High. 

In this drama, Cheon Song Yi is a top Hallyu star who looks tough and mean on the outside but is actually very fragile and lonely. 

Started as child star, Song Yi was scarred and bitter when she unintentionally saw her divorced parents fighting over her custody (as she was the breadwinner of the family). Her father left them and never saw her again as he was too shameful to face Song Yi. 

If you wish to watch this movie, you can do it here: http://sensen.tv/my-love-from-another-star/

But if you wish to get the fashion review or some tips on how to look like the fashionista Cheong Song Yi, read on. ;)

(Note that I only pick items that suits our tropical climate weather and for commoners like us. Yes, you are welcome! :P)

DIY Vintage Floral Nails

I just tried doing this nail design and I love it so much that I have been admiring and looking over my nails for 2 days already. :P

Vintage Floral Nails #1

Really pretty, don't you think? *self-gloat*

Hmmm...How should I describe it?

Girly yet feminin,

Cute yet intricate,

Vintage yet modern?

Vintage Floral Nails #2

I couldn't decide which colours to use for the roses

so I ended up with three different colours :P.I think I like the pink one the best (ring finger)

 Vintage Floral Nails #3

The nail polish that I used for the base colour and for the leaves

(from left to right)

Etude - BL505 (pastel blue)

Etude - GR605 (pastel green)

Etude - BL504 (midnight blue)

Below's the tutorial on how to do this nail design from Bubzbeauty. It's really simple to do.

Ad: How I lose my belly fat with Tripeptide

Do you wonder why your weight just refuse to go down no matter how hard you try? While your skinny friend can eat loads and not gain any weight?

The secret to weight loss: Harmonal Harmony

When you hormones are at their optimal levels, your body functions at peak efficiency:

• Your metabolism starts jamming'.
• You look a lot better.
• Your body maintains a healthy weight without much conscious effort.
• Your belly flattens.
• Your skin is clear and radiant; your hair and nails are strong and shiny.
• Your eyes are bright.
• Your senses are keen, not dulled
• You don't suffer from excessive hunger or crazy cravings
• You get cut and lean.
• You have energy to burn.
• You live a longer, healthier life.

 Reference [in italic] : Master your Metabolism by Jilian Michaels (book)

Sounds too good to be true? I've tried it myself and THE RESULT WAS SUPER DUPER AMAZING THAT I CANNOT BELIEVE IT MYSELF!


This was me before:

I was not pregnant, thank you. That's even though I have been going to the gym religiously for 2 times/week (I am not asking you to stop exercising, by all means, please do).

1 week after Tripeptide.........deng deng deng..

♥♥♥

If you ask me whether I sucked in my stomach in the photo, my answer is no because I don't have David Copperfield's skill in order to do that.

If this is happening to you:

• people keep asking you if you are pregnant (when you are not) & it's annoying the hell out of you
• your whole family is overweight & you think that you are destined to be overweight.
• you eat like a 16-year-old boy but still constantly hungry
• you have the overweight syndrome such as: constantly tired, back pain, looking older than your actual age, etc
• you eat like a mouse and yet, still on the plump side

Most probably your hormones are all screwed up and
Tripeptide is the solution!!!

How Tripeptide works:
* Lose 3-5 kgs in 30 days
* Contribute to body functions such as blood pressure regulation, thyroid function and responsible for regulating the release of hormones. (Remember when I said earlier that balanced hormones or "hormonal harmony" is the secret to weight lost?)
* Create a unique supplement to promote younger skin, reduces wrinkle depth and removes dark age spots.
* Combined with an exclusive traditional Chinese medicine Angelica compound to perpetuate youthful rigor by helping to keep hormone levels up.
* An anti-oxidant that can be critical in protecting healthy cells from radicals in the body.
* A breakthough formulation incorporating Hyaluronic Acid and Silk Peptide, required for the support of skin, nails and hair.

How to have younger looking hand & nails instantly

These are my nails by default.

Can you spot the problems?

Here you go

After some tender loving care....

(which takes about half an hour for me)

Stuffs that I used:

From left to right:

Nail Shine Buffer

Cuticle Remover

Nail polish file?

Cuticle file?

No idea what this is called - It's to scrap the dead cuticle sticking to your nail

Nail scissor - to cut your cuticle and stray nail

Cuticle oil - To moisturize & massage your cuticle (last step)

That's all. Easy right?

Haha...hope that you have learnt something.

How to sleep like a cat

 1. Find the most comfy spot in the house 

2. Kaki kangkang (Legs apart)

3. Hands curled in (optional).

 Another example

(Tips: It's not very wise to sleep on walk way especially if your body colour matches the floor)

Lie on sofa's arm rest if you want to watch tv while falling asleep

 Afternoon nap is a must

 Ops..awaken by owner snapping picture

See what is owner doing.

 Block flashlight and continue to lie down

Watch owner's tablet after waking up

Scrub body against owner's head if itchy

iPhone app: My Diet Diary

I have been trying to lose a few kilos lately by exercising more and eating less. I am using this application called My Diet Diary on my iPhone and it is so so so useful.

It helps me to calculate my BMR based on my age, weight, height and activity level (sedentary, lightly/moderately/very/extremely active)

I considered myself sedentary because I am sitting at least 8 hours daily.

I can keep track of my daily food intakes and the calories that comes along as

they have a super comprehensive calories database.

Keeping track of my exercise.

I'll just have to enter the duration of my exercise and type of exercise and they will know how many calories that I will be burning.

Summary of my daily diet

See the word burned in orange font?

If it is a positive number, it means that I am burning more calories than I consume. XD

I found that in order to lose a kilo, I need to burn this much of calories:

7709 Kcal = 1 Kg


On the days when I am exercising, I burn about 500Kcal to 1500Kcal per day depending on how vigorous is my exercise and what I eat.
On the days when I am not exercising, I will normally breakeven on the calories consumed and burned.

Meaning to say, if I want to lose a kilo in a week, I will have to exercise vigorously for 5 days a week (7709/1500 = 5.13)
My type of vigorous exercise means 2 hours of stationary cycling class or fast-paced dance.
No easy eh?

My bi-weekly diet diary.
As you can see, my exercise routines include martial art (aikido), biking, aerobics and hip hop dancing

Cool application eh? Hopefully I can get back to my original weight.

 

Oh by the way, I just discovered how to capture my iPhone screen as what you see on these screen captures above. Can't believe that it is so easy and the function is totally awesome.

How?

Just press the on/off button of your iPhone (on the top right) and press the home button once simultaneously (Remember, if you HOLD both buttons together, it's not going to work. Press on/off button first, hold and press home button ONCE)

Voila! You will heard the camera flashing noise and you can retrieve your screen capture on your Camera Roll.

Rojak's Guide to Wedding Preparation Part 2 - cupcakes

My wedding is finally over and I am glad that everything (almost) had went well.

Since I love anything that is cute, I was really hoping to have loads of custom-made cutesie cup cakes. As I was compiling cup cakes quotation, I was really aghast on how expensive this silly cup cakes can be.

Still I am very amazed how creative they can be.

Cup cakes from bunsintheoven:

I am not sure how much exactly these are because when I enquired, here is what they responded:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Elle,
Thanks for your enquiry, it's great to hear from you.

Congratulations on your big day and thank you for considering BITO as your vendor.

Unfortunately I am not able to take your order as my schedule for that period is already full.

Sincere apologies.

Cheers,

http://www.bunsintheoven.my/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Besides Bunsintheoven, I also checked with the more popular Cupcake Chic.

I have asked for the quotation of 100pcs, rental of a tier stand and favor boxes.

Design 1 - customisable plate, replace Mcd logo with your own design

Design 2 & 3

(photos which I took from Delectable by Su @ The Garden  

They are selling 3 cupcakes at RM28 o.O

This was the quotation that I got:

33 x RM5.50 = RM 181.50 (Design 1 -customised logo)

34 x RM6 = RM204 (Design 2 - heart shape)

33 x RM8 = RM 264 (Design 3 - ribbon)

100 x RM1.40 = RM140 (Favor boxes)

1 (7-tier stand) x RM100 = RM100 (Rental)
Total = RM889.50! exclusive delivery charges summore

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have even checked another home based cake shop that my friend recommended but the price is only slightly cheaper.

Here's the contacts:

doreen's house no: 03-7710 2580

doreen's hp: 012-684 6417
rollmagness@yahoo.com

Here's the design that I really wanted to do but couldn't find anyone that can replicate:

Well, that's all for now. All the info just for cupcakes. At the end, I have decided to scrap the idea cuz I think it's not worth it. All the money just to "syok sendiri" because guests in general won't appreciate this, I think. Imagine if half of your guests left your cupcakes/favor on the table

Though the cup cakes are not cheap, I think it would still be really sweet to send a box of customised cup cakes to your friends on their wedding or special occassions. :)
