Ishiya: Shiroi Koibito(白い恋人) cookies

Mood:

Bad lighting!? HAHA~ It's getting dark, that's why......
Anyway, I like the background~
---
The other day I was told by my brother that there's a Summer Hokkaido Fair going on and I tried out the chocolate cookies that he bought it at the fair. The cookies taste GREAT especially the white chocolate flavor! I went to the fair the next day just to buy 2 boxes of the cookies. *laughs nervously*

Ever heard of Ishiya: 'Shiroi Koibito(白い恋人) cookies'?↴



Even though my brother knew that Ishiya's white chocolate cookies are the most famous one, he bought the assorted box because he wanted to try out the milk chocolate flavor.

While me, I bought 2 boxes which consist of only white chocolate cookies. I prefer the white chocolate cookies more than the milk chocolate~ I got it in paper box(similar to my brother's) and in tin box.↴


I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the tin! It's gorgeous! I didn't expect it to be so pretty! I didn't rip the wrapper of the paper box therefore, no photo for that. Anyway, it looks exactly the same as my brother's... Just that the color of the box cover and the printing inside are slightly different and consist of only white chocolates. Anyway, who cares about the ordinary paper box!? Let us put our focus on the white chocolate cookies!↴


A layer of white chocolate in between two thin butter cookies~ The white chocolate cookies taste very milky and it melt in your mouth. Combined it with the thin layers of butter cookies = PERFECT! The cookie itself has a light butter flavor and has a soft and crisp texture and when you bite and chew it, it turns into somewhat like powdery? kind of texture. I'm not good at describing texture...? So yea..., I might be wrong though... However honestly, the cookie taste and texture is really nice.

Just to add on..., I found it a little bit too sweet and I have to drink water after eating it. Well personally, I don't like sweet stuff but again, white chocolate is supposed to be SWEET! Thus, I can't complain too much. (`_´)ゞ

Anyway, it's really pricey manxz! The paper box contain 24 packets cost SGD$37 while the pretty tin box contain 27 packets cost SGD$44.80. An additional SGD$7.80 was added in just for the tin box and 3 more packets of the cookies. I believe Japan sells more cheaper! LOL! (¬_¬)

Regarding to where to get these cookies in Singapore, I don't think you can find them anywhere in Singapore unless there's a Hokkaido fair. That's an assumption uh... But that is what I've heard so far...

If you are fond of chocolates cookies and you happen to come across some stores selling these cookies, buy and try it! (・ー・)

National Day Parade (Preview)

Mood:

I have been heading out almost every single day. (`_´)ゞ Vacation is ending soon hence, I going to enjoy myself as much as possible! After the vacation = Back-to-school~ Awws, mugging life. (ㅠ_ㅠ)

Okay so... My brother was being such a kind soul to give me 2 admission tickets to the National Day Parade(NDP) 2011 Preview. So last Saturday, I went to the event together with my friend, Shelin.~ She is actually my aunt but we treat each other more like a friend than a relative. :D She is AWESOME!♥

Anyway, Shelin and I already had plans on Saturday. We decided to meet up and go to some designer bags sales and it was just so coincidence that the sales venue was near the event venue. Therefore, we decided to attend the event after our shopping since the event starts only in the evening.

Well, I'll let the photos do the talk for now.




















I didn't took a lot of photos because I was busy recording.*laughs* Oh yea, I recorded the amazing fireworks! I wanna upload it here unfortunately, the internet is being a snail at the moment. Damn slow! I guess I should upload the video next time..., if there is a chance...~ (≥ 3 ≤)

That being said, please stay tuned for it. *laughs nervously*

June Favorites!

Mood:

The month of June has ended and the month of July has just started. Sigh, my vacation is ending in about 3 weeks time. Awws~ ):

Anyway, let's get back to topic — (oh yeaaa)  June Favorites!(^ω^)

I actually wanted this post to be up before July. However, I was ill therefore I don't have the mood to update my blog. You know that the FLU is such a bitch. 凸(`з´) *oops, bad word* (`_´)ゞ 

[...]

So, I will start of with fragrance — Perfume: Lanvin Éclat D'Arpège↴
I absolutely LOVE this perfume! I wear this every time I go out and the fragrance last all day. After shower, I went to bed and woke up, the perfume scent still lingered on me. It lasts an incredible long time. I'm not good at describing scent...but I guess to me, it has a soft and light floral scent and I LOVE the beautiful fragrance!~♥ By the way, I bought it at a really cheap price...so much lesser than the initial $100+ price tag. *laughs nervously* So I will definitely re-purchase it again.

Next, make-up brushes from Ecotools...↴
These brushes are amazing! They are super soft without the irritation of too-stiff bristles or animal hair allergies and they don't shed. Good quality and CHEAP!♪ Loveeee Ecotools brushes!(^−^)

Moving on to...Face product: Mineral Finishing Powder from Kevin BeautyMaker. ↴

This mineral finishing powder is completely sheer and ideal for all skin tones. Fragrance, preservative, oil-free. It absorbs oil and minimizes the appearance of lines and pores. Available in 3 shades: #01 Fair, #02 Natural, #03 Tan. Both a brush and puff are included.

I bought it in #02 Natural from an online shopping site. Initially, I was afraid that the shade I chose would be quite dark because normally natural shade looks dark on me. However, it isn't as dark as what I've thought. In fact, the shade is lighter than what I've expected and it matches well with my skin color giving me a natural look. It doesn't clog my pores and make me breakout either. Awesome-ness!~☆

Next, Eyes product: Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner... ↴
I did a review on this the other time ya...? Revlon ColorStay eyeliner is an awesome pencil liner. It glides on smoothly, doesn't smudge or smear and it does last all day. Probably the best out of all the ones I have used.

Last product I gonna talk about... LIP-GLOSS! from Bourjois, Effet 3D - #20 Rose Symphonic. ↴
A glamorous and shimmery pink gloss~ At first sight it seemed too glittery and sparkly, but when I tried it on, it was perfect. Gorgeous color! This is my first Bourjois lip gloss and I really like it so far. Well, I personally don't really like flavored lip gloss but I'm fine with this Bourjois gloss. Might re-purchase it again.

So yea, that's my short and sweet June Favorites! Hope you guys like it. (^ー^)

Horoscope reaction when waiting for the public transport

Mood:

I found an interesting pictures last night. It's about how would each horoscope sign reacts when waiting for the bus/car .aka. public transport~

Let's start of with Libra, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Next is... Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and lastly, Virgo.
Which horoscope sign reaction do you like the most? Personally, I like Leo's reaction~ Did you see that Leo scolded "Fxxk" when it got pissed off by the waiting time? That cracks me up! *laughs nervously* Impatience is one of the weakness in Leo!(・∇・)

By the way, I was born on 21st May and I wasn't sure whether I am a Taurus or a Gemini.(yea yea... I'm a cusp!~) Is it possible to be both?(・_・)ゞ Well, I wasn't very sure though...... Normally when I see those daily horoscope thingy, I will tend to look at both signs. (=w=) However, I think I have more of the Gemini inner traits. Therefore, I assume I am a Gemini...(`_´)ゞ

Anyway, what do you think about the accuracy of the horoscope reaction shown in the picture? To me, I think it's 50-50. LOL!

Iphone Application — "Pucca's Restaurant"

I gotten flu since yesterday. Thanks to my dad who passed this virus to me. Oh my gosh, it's awful! Having flu combines with sore throat, runny and stuffy nose sure sucks to the core! But anyway, I'm feeling better after taking 6 Panadol Flu Max per day, drinking lots of water and consuming Vitamin C supplements. (*^д^*)

[...]

Anyway, for today's topic... I gonna share an Iphone game application that I recently got hooked on. It's called the "Pucca's Restaurant". Ever heard of it? ( ゚_゚ )ゞ Here goes a screen-shot picture of my current restaurant:
As you can tell from the picture, I'm currently level 32 and my restaurant was being graded as ★★★★☆-star. My goals are to achieve ★★★★★-star rating, unlock the hidden items and master all the recipes!(´•__^`)ノ

So basically, this game is all about building your own restaurant by cooking, decorating and maintaining customers satisfaction in order to get a 5-STAR rating restaurant. You get to unlock items when you reach certain levels. You can purchase the furniture, walls, floor tiles, stoves and some other decorations in the game shop using either the 'golds($)' that you have earned while running the restaurant or using 'Garu Points'.



By the way, it's a really interesting and addictive games that comes with REAL recipes! *laughs*

Oh and there's world ranking too! I'm ranked 6? in my home area/location? I think that people who live in the same area as me don't play this game that's why I gotten rank 6 easily! Lol. Somehow I don't think this ranking is accurate...(・x・)

In conclusion, this game is really fun and entertaining. It's about the same as 'Restaurant Story'(another Iphone's application). The only difference between the both of them is that 'Pucca's Restaurant' is more adorable. This is the reason why I play it in the first place~♪ By the way, I'm a fan of Pucca when I was a kid! (^∇^)

A bonus to this game is that it can play on the go without internet access! *thumbs-up* It also have the notification function of your foods being ready hence preventing spoilage of foods when you are not paying attention to it.
 
Those who owned an Iphone, Ipad or Ipod touch, give it a try? It's FREE anyway. (^з^)~♪
