Been spending alot since I started to work. Apart from good food like Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao, Crystal Jade Kitchen, Fish & Co, Pasta Mania etc., last month I spent most of my money on manicure & pedicure tools. Now that I have a personal manicurist, I have to buy my own tools. The only thing lacking now is a tub to soak my feet and will be able to produce bubbles if I add in soap to the water. Who knows where I can get one? Haha.. If it's cheap, I really don't mind buying one and use it. Good for relaxation.

This month, again, I spent. My mother and brother commented that I have been spending quite alot this month. And I told them that I am working in an air conditioned area for almost 10 hours recently. If I don't start to take care of my face from now, when should it be? 30 years old? By the time I guess it's too late. Air condition can really suck away your skin's moisture quickly. So I told my brother that I am better than his gf who doesn't apply anything at all and just uses plain water to wash her face. But thinking back when I was her age, i.e. a few yrs back, no matter how my mum nagged me to wash my face, apply this and that, I just wouldnt do it. Or I will jus do it for a few days and forget all about it. Haha. But anyway I am spending my hard earned money, so why should they interfere?

This month's spending is on facial products. Remember Fancl that I mentioned about? That was abt 2 months back. It's finishing soon and I think I gotta replenish it in 2 weeks time. *Spend money again"

I bought the following.....

1) 2 different shades of purple nail polish from Missha.

2) The pink standing box from Bloom (if you can see) is bought from Sasa and it is actually a mascara. It is a new formula from them. Quite costly to me. But it's really good. You know my eyelids are actually puffy so when I apply mascara, it doesn't have much effect i.e. I can't really see my eyelashes elongated. But this one from Bloom is much better considered to the previous one I tried. Hehe.. I must have more confidence in it so I will feel that I look good wearing it.

3) The white tub beside it is actually Rice mask with rice bits in it. According to the salesgirl, after you apply and wash off, you will feel the difference. I don't like masks whereby I don't feel the difference after using it. And since it's cheap and worth it to try, I bought it! Gonna try tmr.. so will provide more updates abt this after I have tried.

4) The white tube next to the tub is actually sun care or also known as sun block. Remember I talk about the numbers of SPF and what it really means? Went into the shop and ask the gal to recommend something for me to prevent more freckles formation and she recommended me this. It's green tea and I must say it smells fantastic!!!!

5) The blue box beside holds a bottle of serum to strengthen eyelashes. According to the salesgirl in Sasa, she says it can help to grow eyelashes as well. Since I always feel that my eyelashes aren't pretty and also because of my puffy eyelids, I decided to try this out. My mum says of course they will tell me that it's good so that i will buy then I told her that you never try, you will never know.

6) The tube lying on the table is actually an essence to whiten freckles. It's different from normal whitening products bcoz this will jus whiten dark spots like pigmentation and freckles. It will not whiten every area you apply. So it just works on the dark spots. After using it for a few months, I shall update on whether it works.

7) The 2 little round containers you see: the grey one is actually a purple eyeshadow. Been always wanting to try purple. So decided to get one. The other bronze one is actually a blusher with a really sweet shade of pink. Excellent!!!!

The next thing I wana buy is a body lotion. Realised that the body needs moisturizing as well or I will turn into an auntie's skin soon. Haha....

Alright, enuff on updating on where my money goes... now to something more exciting: I went for FIR's showcase on 7 Oct (Sat). They really rock. Ah Qing is so cute and Jian Ning Lao Shi is just way too cool and Faye with a powerful vocal!!! Alright, let the photos do the talking. Some of the photos are quite blur... too busy and engross enjoying singing and swaying to them that we din realise that the photos din turn out that good. Haha...

The FIR album awaiting to be signed. and the tickets to the showcase. FIR's showcase is by invitation only. Hehe...

This is what darling and I had before going up to the Top of the 8 at Junction 8 to await FIR's arrival. Luckily we had something to eat and drink before going up, coz the performance was supposed to start at 6pm but it ended up starting at 630 instead.

The yummy crossiant. Influenced by Ashley cos in the afternoon before she went home, she went to buy crossiant from Delifrance. Makes me have a craving... so dragged darling to go and eat with me. Looks so yummy isn't it??

Mushroom soup. It's actually a set meal with the crossiant. This was really salty. I have no idea why. I miss Marche's mushroom soup. It's the best I had so far. Darling can we go????!!!!!

Cafe Latte - my favourite....

The host of the day - I think she's Lingzhi from 933 if I am not wrong...

This showcase actually features our Superband - Mi Lu Bing. Their fans are damn kao pei & I really wonder if they are there to support FIR or Mi Lu Bing. This is dumb.

FIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait for their concert next yr. I wana be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty Faye... Really envy her vocal. Live is as good as on CD. Worthwhile to catch her live in concert.

FIR meets Mi Lu Bing... When the host asked Mi Lu Bing when they think they can become like FIR, Nic actually says soon. Not I want to pour cold water la. But huh.. they will take ages la.... I noe I am going to offend so many of Mi Lu Bing's fans... But I think huh... really la... they cant be like FIR... Coz first of all they must be able to write out and compose they own songs...

Jian Ning Lao Shi... Cool... Cool.... Cool....

Tian Tian Ye Ye - Lovely duet by the 2 of them.....

Just before the autograph session...

Overall, a wonderful weekend. Next week's my birthday week.. hope it will be as fantastic as this week. Till the next.......
