Review on Mojitate Kiajitsu & Deep Moist lipbalms

I'm ain't a fan of lipbalms to be frank, however, many of my girlfriends are! They would constantly check on the condition of their lips and apply balms to moist their lips whenever it feels dry. Whilst, I, myself, on the other hand, is too lazy and find it a hassle to keep up with these kind of regime even though my lips were dry and peeling.

Then, one fine day, an opportunity came knocking on my door, the sample store invited me and many other bloggers to do a review on the best selling japanese brand lipbalms - Mojitate Kiajitsu and deep moist lipbalms. They came in a really cutesy packaging, which had completely captured my heart! &, I do not mind bringing such cutesy lil' item out daily! So, that was when I started developing the habit of applying balms on my lips! &, gosh, the results of using it daily is amazing! The peelings on my lips were completely healed and it has became so much moisturized! So, tell me how to not love it?!




Lemme fill you in with more information on the lipbalms, so read on lovelies:


Feature 1: Highly moisturizing formula: soft, melting on skin

Moisturizers: hyaluronic acid, shea butter, jojoba oil

Feature 2: oval container: fits corner of mouth well, due to wide dimension easily put on lips

Crystal jade korean bbq buffet

Having heard much raves about crystal jade korean bbq at orchard centerpoint, we decided to give it a try after my morning photoshoot at emerald hill. How budget can we get... We parked the car at one tree hill area, the landed property district, so as to save the parking fare. Parking fees could amount to at least $10 for a mere couple hours of parking at those shopping malls, I would rather use that $10 or more on something else.





The buffet menu...























































Doubt we will return to patronize for their buffet, but might be back for their ala cart meal. I'm drooling just by reminiscing the taste of the kim chi rice!

Sand & sea






In need of another retreat to a sunny island, and to bury away all those stresses and worries that
are dawn on me lately. Birthday retreat to bintan seems awesome. The thought of having bby&myself riding on a horse to ourselves along the beach sounds too good to be true. I can't wait for the day to arrive.

Day 3 & 4 (final), BKK trip 2010

Rise and shine at 8am, our agenda for the day is to get all the stuffs we want from MBK, Siam square and plaza 29, as we won’t be back patronizing these places for any more shopping on our last day. Time was that limited, rushing from one place to another within a couple of hours in a day. Oh boy, I wished I could bring back the entire bkk.

Early birdies will always be rewarded with the better stuffs for being up early. &, indeed, we have gotta ourselves very brilliant deals for many pairs of foot wears for as low as sgd2! We just love cheap thrills, don’t cha?







sumptuous breakie in bed! The fried rice is palatable!







Yes, I'm wearing the dress I've gotta from Pratunam market the previous day for approx. 4sgd only!

























Strolling down the avenue of street vendors around the hotel area, it is a place where you would be able find fabulous apparels and accessories to purchase at a low price.












Roaming down the street to Pratunam market...








Upon entering the Pratunam market, you would see many small shops peddling an array of merchandises. Apart from human crowds at the market, there were cars & bikes streaming down along the street too; hence, you've got to be caution and constantly keep a look out for any oncoming vehicles whilst shopping.








The food vendors at pratunam market...




After a couple of hours of shopping at the market, it's time for a break and have our lunch. We decided to dine in at fuji japanese restaurant, which is situated at the fifth level of Platinum mall.




This bento set which bby had included a chawamushi, an ice coffee/tea and fruits cost us about sgd 10 only! Not only that its dirt cheap, it is really mouth-watering! Especially the sashimi salmon and tuna! I would love to fly over and savour it right now!


I had the gyoza ramen set, which includes an ice coffee/tea and fruits as well, this cost us about sgd 6 -8 only! Oh, I digs the gyoza!

After a satisfying lunch, we continued our crazy shopping spree at platinum mall till evening, as all the stalls cease for business by 7pm.








However, you would find a line-up of street vendors setting up their stall along the street outside the Platinum mall by the evening time. Never miss taking a good look at what all these street vendors are offering as more than often I would find myself getting something that is nice and dirt cheap from there. (eg. Accessories)

When the night fallen in, we took a tutu to MBK. It was sucha mad rush as most of shops at MBK close at 8pm-9pm, and the time we arrived at MBK, it was already 7pm odd, hence, we decided to have our dinner taken at a later time, as shopping was our priority.







We had Mr. Meng dimsum take away for supper before we left MBK.

Shopping did not stop at MBK, we continued venturing the area where the street vendors set up their stalls at about 10pm onwards, outside the BTS area. After which, we continued our shopping spree at siam square, which was situated just across MBK. &, fyi, the street vendors at siam square only operate at night (from about 10pm – 12pm?) if I am not wrong, as there wasn’t a single stall set up at the area during daytime, on a weekday.





Headed back to the hotel at approx. 11pm odd.


Our loots for the day...


Day 4....

I woke up with a backache and sore throat, and it was not long later I started to feel awfully weak and feverish. But, this didn’t stop me from heading down to chatukcha, the weekend market for another round of shopping spree. I popped down the panadols and dragged my weak body to chatukcha, and the weather wasn’t showing any mercy to me; it was scorching hot! I could feel my temperature increased literally. However, it was my last day at BKK, and I could not bear to let it goes down the drain without any rewarding shopping done, else I would have been so remorseful. I could only endure with the misery and went on shopping but at a slower pace.




Breakie on the last day.















Arrived at chatukcha by 8.30am. Many stalls are not open yet.










Coconut ice cream! yums!







Late lunch back at the hotel's cafe before making our way to the airport. It's really upsetting :( I don't want to leave bkk yet! :(:(:(










Had our dinner at BKK airport before jetting off back to singapore, where the cruelty of reality awaits for our return :(

Happy moments always pass by in a flash...
