Superior Eyewear at Affordable Prices For the Mass!



I got to know of this awesome eyewear retail space/online shop and went to purchase new spectacles immediately because the moment I set my eyes on their website, I felt like I wanted to buy just everything!!!! But, I only have a pair of eyes so... I could not be greedy. 

When I saw how much a spectacle with prescription costs.... I was dumbfounded. I have never came across such a nice pair of eyewear retailing at such a low price with FREE shipping as well. 

I am sure all of you know how much a pair of decent eyewear with prescription can costs at normal optical shops. The benchmark would be around $100 at least BEFORE they make your lens into thin lens or add on the multicoating charges and etc... The total damage could be about $250 or more. 

This vintage beauty below costs me ONLY ONLY ONLY $95. YES. I AM SERIOUS. Only $95. Can I say that this is the most inexpensive pair of spectacles that I have bought in my 23 years on Earth!!!


 JUNIEL - Yours to keep at only $45. 


If you are not short-sighted, you can get these frames at only $45. Yes, less than $50 and it is yours to keep!

This pair is called "Juniel" but sadly, it is out of stocks at the moment. Please kindly email them to make your reservation if you are interested in this pair! It is selling like hotcakes! 



Who says one cannot look good with glasses? And yes, I am in my primary school PE shirt but that's not the main point of the photo. I just cannot stop cam-whoring with my new glasses. They look so good! 



 I was blessed to be sponsored more pretty sunglasses by them and I must say that their sunglasses are all too damn SWAG.

It was so hard for me to choose 2 other shades that I prefer to be sponsored because browsing through their page just brings out the fashionista in me making me wanna say "One of each please!"

LAVINE - Yours to keep at only $45. 

I have never thought that I would be able to pull off this look before but Visual Mass's superly chio sunglasses just proves me wrong. This unique and special shades brings out the cheerfulness in me so that I can smile brightly even when the sun is glaring down at me!




Unfortunately, they are also out of stocks at the moment which means 
(1) I have damn good taste! (2) You have to make your reservation asap! 


JENZO CHIMERA - Yours to keep at only $45. 

This piece is just art!
I am so so so in love with this piece and fret not, it is NOT out of stock at the moment but once this posts gets to many people, I am sure it will be so do go onto their website to order like NOW.





This photo is super grainy but I wanted to post it because I want to show you guys that even though the photo quality was bad, the shades still looks so pretty nevertheless! How can you not own this piece of beauty?

To be honest, I have like 10 other pairs of shades hanging at home but after looking through what Visual Mass has to offer... I just want to be their ambassador FOR LIFE. I don't want to wear any other brands except theirs anymore. I am so so in love! 

I have zero make up on in all these photos but look at this super ravishing OOTD image below! 

$4 top from Bangkok.
$4 shorts from Bangkok.
And $45 shades from Visual Mass.

Less than $100 spent but I look like a million dollar girl... (CHEYYYYYYY =D)

5 FACTS ABOUT MUAY THAI AT ASFITNESS (TANGLIN CC)
Tuesday, March 25, 2014


MUAY THAI- THE SCIENCE OF EIGHT LIMBS

Many of you may not know but I had taken up Muay Thai some time ago due to the influence of James. James started Muay Thai 5 years ago...he fell in love, got married to Muay Thai and... the rest is HISTORY.

Due to time constraints plus work & school commitments... I had stopped Muay Thai all together for some time but I know I will return to it some day. 

Here, I want to tell you 5 facts about Muay Thai at ASFITNESS at Tanglin CC. 

(1) Muay Thai is NOT all about violence. Many people have the misconception that Muay Thai is all bloody and violent and just a very ferocious sports. Well, you all are wrong. Muay Thai is a combat sport from Thailand. It is called the art/science of eight limbs because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins and feet. It is not about how you cause harm to your opponent, it is about how you defend yourself against an opponent using your shoulders, arms and legs. 

As per the below photo, you can see that I am trying to block my opponent while striking a kick towards her. Muay Thai is part of learning how to defend. 


(2) Muay Thai is about discipline.

James did not gain those packs overnight. Every match that he took part in, he had to go through a lot from losing weight to training hard and eating well. If he took part in the lightweight category of 63kg, he had to lose all the excess weight the day before his weigh-in. Any lighter or heavier, he may not be able to take part in that match anymore. It is all about responsibility and the discipline to be at his best. James also quit smoking because of this sport. He also took to eating healthy regularly. 




(3) Muay Thai is about strength and conditioning.

Muay Thai is specifically designed to promote the level of fitness and toughness required for a match. Running, shadowboxing, rope jumping, body weight resistance exercises, medicine ball exercises, abdominal exercises is part of the regimen. They need to repeatedly condition their shins, hardening the bone through a process called cortical remodeling. (Please google if you want to know more or join us at Tanglin CC =D)


(4) Muay Thai may help you to find a meaning in life. 

Because of my past, I know of a lot of wayward teens like me who resorts to substance abuse, street fight and other rebellious acts to find a direction in life. What if, Muay Thai could lead you to where you want to be? What it, Muay Thai can change you into someone whom you have never thought you would be? I know how it feels to feel all alone and not knowing which road in life to take but you may not be a champion anywhere else, you could be a champion in Muay Thai. Who knows? What is there to lose except some sweat?


(5) Muay Thai can help you to meet more people from all walks of life. 

This is something that has brought me very far after knowing all the people that Muay Thai has brought me to. Like every other sport/activity that you take part in, you will know more people and make more friends. Getting to know others who share the same interest in the same sports as you and then getting to network with them and develop bonds with them, it is not easy but at Tanglin CC, we are a really fun bunch! 


I think these photos will show you how fun we can be when we are not in the ring and also how serious we can get when we are in the ring. 


Our coach looks young but he has a lifetime of experiences. Guess which one is our coach?





No matter a defeat or a victory, we share the same smile, the same pride, the same tears and the same frustrations.

The one thing that I really really love about this product is the fact that they are naturally enriched with world renowned La Roche-Posay thermal center's spring water!

The second product is :

La Roche-Posay UVIDEA Aqua Fresh Gel - $38.90/30ml

This awesome product provides superior daily sun protection in a fresh water-break concentrated gel texture. If you want long-lasting pure skin sensation and wants something that prevents hyperpigmentation, complexion greying & UV aging...THIS IS IT! It protects against UVA for 18 Times longer than normal products and it has been tested on Asian sensitive skin.


Did you know that long range UVA rays account for more than 75% of UVA rays. They reach the heart of dermis all-year long, even in cloudy weather, in the city or through windows, and trigger global damage to the skin quality. With new filter Uvinul A+, the La Roche-Posay Uvidea Aqua Fresh Gel offers superior protection on the whole UVA spectrum including long UVA, in a water-concentrated gel texture that is suitable for normal to oily skin types.


Here are the impacts of UVA.

Since long UVA has the largest wavelength, it goes even deeper into the skin, up to a 3-level damage.

Color Impact: It generates photo-oxidative stress which increases greying, causing dullness, uneven complexion and brown spots etc.

Structural Impact: It generates cytotoixicity for fibroblasts which erodes the dermis and affects the skin surface quality. This is turn causes fine lines and visible pores to appear.

Functional Impact: It generates dermal modifications that lower the immune defenses and overtime leads to increases sensitivity.



Instant hydration to the skin! Also comes with high SPF. I super like it!

You can actually redeem a free sample of this by clicking on this LINK ! Don't wait anymore!

The high water content in the formula presents a fresh and cooling texture while, the ultra-absorbent micro particles equilibrate oiliness and humidity on skin surface. It also leaves a long-lasting bare sensation thanks to a minimalist formula which leaves no residue on the skin.

Remember to also like La Roche Posay's FACEBOOK PAGE!

Go redeem your samples now and if you simply would like to buy one now, the above 2 products can be found at :

Guardian, Watsons, National Skin Center & Hospital Pharmacies!

Thank you for reading, xoxo!

Miam Miam Singapore
Thursday, March 20, 2014

I met up with the girls for dinner sometime back and June suggested that we head to Miam Miam, located at Bugis Junction. She's been seeing her friends posting super delightful photos of Miam Miam's desserts and so, we decided to give it a try!

Miam Miam actually means "Yum Yum" in French and this is a Japanese French cafe. 

The ambience was good and the furnitures were all really sweet-looking with pastel coloured chairs. However, the cushions could do better because there were stains and crumbs and I am particular about that. I just want to eat in a place that looks.... Clean? 

Anyway, the staff were pleasant and service was great. 

Hui Qi and I ordered their signature Miam Miam Spaghetti and we had really high expectations of it because it was stated that their signature special sauce was used to cook it! 


However...it was hard for me to taste their special sauce because all I tasted was sesame and and it was overall quite salty. I still prefer my usual aglio olio. Hui Qi liked it though. 

June ordered Arrabbiata spaghetti and it was quite like bolognaise to me. A tad sweet and.... normal?

Their ice lemon tea came without sugar! The most hilarious thing was that I asked for honey instead of sugar water for the tea and I ended up screwing up my own drink.

Our pastas cost $15.80.

Their desserts were quite a hit with people or they were just Instagram worthy...
Their desserts mostly take 20 to 30 minutes to bake so remember to tell them to make it halfway through your meal! Actually, the staff there are alright and they will ask you beforehand whether you would like them to prepare it first.

We ordered their Valrhona Chocolate Souffle and we were quite disappointed by it because it tasted no where as heavenly as what they have proclaimed. Melted chocolate and normal cakey spongey feel. That's all.

I am not a dessert person so don't judge by my own honest opinion. You can go try it yourself. $13.80 for a souffle is a little expensive no?

After finishing the dessert, we were thirsty because the dessert was sweet and so we wanted some water even though we did order Iced Matcha and Iced Lemon Tea.

But WTF....... We were told that a glass of iced water would costs $0.50!!!!

Freaking 50 cents.

They must be out of their minds! This would be the reason that I will never ever return to Miam Miam ever again. Our meal costs us around $75 and you still expect us to pay $0.50 for a glass of water.

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY PLEASE.


Nevertheless, we had a good time because we had each other's company! Watched 300, Rise of an Empire and got our IDs checked. How young we are =D 


 Cheers to our friendship!



Thank you for reading! Xoxo!
