Had more fun in korea pharmacies more than olive young & discovered so many hidden gems which were popular amongst locals. Besides buying a tons of pimple patches back, (there’s one with NEEDLES, you can read my review here ) i bought many raved acne creams to try 😼

I’ve been trying the creams for weeks & i do see pretty good results! Sharing the goodness here 😽

♥ Helps with scar treatment (acne/surgery etc)

♥ I have the most stubborn acne scars on my chin bc of my itchy hands & it faded them FASTER than usual. Should have taken a before/after but i didn’t 🫣 Tried many acne scar treatment or even vitamin c products to get rid of acne scars & none of them does the job better than this

♥ Able to apply multiple times thru out the day but i only applied once after my night skincare routine & results are already visible

𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐀 𝐀𝐜𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦

📍Picasso Hair Studio [Novena Branch]

💈 Stylist: Wallace

🗓️ Stylist is off on Mondays

⭐️4.8/5 on Google with 400++ reviews 👍🏼

☎️ Call their hotline to make an appt or simply IGdm @picasso__wallace

💇🏻‍♀️ One Tone Colour + Treatment

They are Running a promo now so dm them!

Booked an appt on a weekday afternoon and was greeted with a choice of drink from their menu + snacks and sweets served to me once I was seated. My stylist Wallace came to brief me on the style consultation where he took me through a series of questions on their IN-HOUSE app to determine the style that suits me best! He looks at mainly your facial features (like really studies it), together with your overall height and even your undertone skin color. He will explain each step throughly to you. The app will then determine which style suits you best which will give you suggestions on your fashion, hair style, hair length, hair colour altogether. You can browse through their booklet on all the available styles. I landed with ⭐️Natural⭐️ Really like the colour analysis dupe LOL

After which, he would ask me for my personal opinion which in my case was no red undertones and no bleach. No stress, if you don't like what's being suggested to you, just tell him no. There's no hard pushing or whatsoever! And if you have something in mind already, can just show it to them for them to replicate exactly!

And then the transformation of my hair beginsss!!!! I went from a very black all virgin hair to an ashy natural brown that shows up mostly under the sun. It looks subtle under indoor lighting which was what I was going for! Nothing too dramatic, just to brighten my hair color to suit my iris and skin tone better 🙂

Overall, I really like how the salon was decorated with Alice in Wonderland theme all over, was very clean and did not smell like the ammonia which you typically get from any other salon. (they even have a diffuser in the toilet!) I took about 2h in total but I highly recommend checking with them how long it takes and leave about an extra 30mins for buffer. Will come back to try their soft perm soon which seems to be very popular 🤭

If you’ve had any encounters with doctor friends/ relatives, you would be familiar with that PTSD expression the moment you mention the word “call”. *shudders* 😱

So what actually goes on during an overnight call? Follow me on a walkthrough! (without actually experiencing the trauma yourself) 🤡

After a full day of work, your call starts proper at 5pm. Your name and contact number appears on the roster, and you will be the first line of contact for ANYTHING within that particular ward coverage all the way till 8am the next day. It can range from “Dr, patient constipated 💩 for 5 days! Can order up laxatives?” to “Dr! Patient blood pressure low! Come review now!”. If you are unfortunate enough to be holding on to the code blue phone, then… you will also end up as the first responder for airway management (intubation)/ resuscitation for a sudden collapse in the wards. 💀

New admissions to the wards have to be seen, and almost all patient complaints will be escalated to you to be addressed. Most of the time you get bombarded by texts and calls from various nurses from different wards, so time management and prioritisation is crucial. Honestly most of the public don’t understand the role of the on call doctor and this deserves a PSA. During on-call timing, aka post-office hours, the on call doctor is more often than not different from the primary team doctor taking care of the patients. He/she has to be responsible for up to hundreds of patients overnight and their key responsibility is to keep the patients alive and stable overnight, and address pressing concerns. Sadly, on call doctors do not have the luxury of time to do routine family updates or attend to non urgent complaints immediately. For example, if they were called for 3 different patients at the same time:

1) sudden collapse in the ward, need CPR and urgent resuscitation

2) new fever spike of more than 38 degrees

3) mild headache, insomnia at night

Obviously they will attend to 1 > 2 > 3. Hence, patient 3 will not be seen immediately, and will have to wait for his/her turn to be reviewed. Unfortunately, on call doctors do get complaints from patient’s family or patients themselves for “not reviewing patients fast enough” in such situations. I really do hope we can see more understanding patients when it comes to such circumstances.

If there are lulls in between the call, then congratulations, time to retire to your bed to sneak in a short nap (before you get nastily woken up by your priority text/ ringtone). On certain calls, you get to experience a “staycay” in an A Class patient’s bed. Most of the time though, you have to make do with resting in a cramped room with a creaky single bed (chalet style). Being able to sleep on call is a true luxury!

Doctors, while rooted in science and logic, also have their superstitious side. We believe in certain on-call myths that few have dared to attempt debunking.

1) do not take the last lift

2) do not eat bao 包

3) eat mee siam to siam the calls. Eat dumplings 水饺🥟 to 睡觉💤

4) drink Coke Zero/ floral water and not 💯 plus

5) do not jinx your call by saying “what a quiet call”

I’m sure there are many other myths floating around out there so do drop a comment if you have heard of any interesting ones!

When you’re clerking your 15th patient of the night, on your 3rd cup of caffeine, and about to review your 30th patient, that’s when you start questioning your life choices – did I really make a wise decision to choose this career path and toil away my youth working overnight shifts at least once a week? WELL. Till now, I can’t give a definite answer. On certain fulfilling days, everything is worth it, but on terrible call nights… this is debatable.

The only consolation is in the belief that THE SUN WILL ALWAYS RISE. Tank through the night, and you will be free to escape from the hospital back to the comfort of your own bed at home (about noon time).

Boy, aren’t you glad you’re living this experience vicariously through my account and not actually living through it irl? 😅

Hellu lemonades 🍋

Seems like you guys like to see JB recco! 😆 Soooo let me share with you guys another experience I think is worth to give a shot!! I know JB is mostly eating and shopping butttt there are more things and places to explore! 😍 Recently I found something that I tried and enjoyed andddd….

That is ✨Coaster/Tray making workshop✨!!!

(Ps. they have other special workshops from time to time!)

Here's my experience and what I loved about it!

🍋 BEST PART!! was being able to chill and relax at their lounge area! they had free packet drinks and board games available to play while waiting for our coasters to set!! super calming and chill environment love it! 💯

🍋 Its more affordable hehe

🍋 The instructor was super friendly and helpful! Patiently answered all my questions 🤣

🍋 This is a relatively new studio so when we went there were only us for the session! Felt like we booked a private session even though we didn't! But even if there are other participants, I am sure the instructor will be able to give sufficient attention and guidance if needed! (But no fun in asking them to help you do the whole thing okk😆)

🍋 Have ppt presentation so you know they wont miss out any steps/details to guide you in creating your masterpiece✨

🍋 They will provide FREE socks because you will need to remove your shoes and they prolly considered that you may not want to wear your own in case you get paint etc on it! It's a small detail but I think it shows they really put in their thoughts in creating a good experience for their customers!🥹

Pro tip: Some strength needed to stir the mixture and sanding the coaster! especially for terrazzo version if you want the pieces to show clearly on the surface! Arms abit tired (or maybe I am just weak 🥹) and also this may cause unevenness of the surface sanded! Can consider marbling or even not sanding at all if that's your vibe!

Pro tip 2: Can look up online for some colour/design inspo! Once you are there they have color palette to guide you in mixing the colors depending on your preference (eg. pastel pink,etc.)

Pro tip 3: Take a timelapse of the process for the memories!!

Pro tip 4: They have other workshops available and I think they have worldwide student discount too!

I highly recco you guys to consider if you are looking for date/friends/bonding/ nothing better to do like me hehe activities in JB! 😊

💰 Price: RM 280 for 2 pax! (~$42 SGD/pax)

W Dressroom New York – Moisturizing Perfume Hand Cream

(97 – April Cotton)

Description: Provides a warms & soft scent. Infused with argania oil, shea butter & ceramide to keep your hands hydrated. 💦 a popular choice in seoul, constantly sold out. comes in 4 other scents.

Personal opinion: Have been hunting for a hand cream that doesn’t leave a sticky residue as i have the driest cuticle but hate the sticky feeling of hand cream. This provides a very pleasant smell that lingers throughout a couple of hours but totally no sticky residue after applying.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ /⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Pretty packaging, nice scent & does a great job keeping my hands moisturise. nothing more to complain about ❤️

Skin Health Aesthetics

51 Upper Serangoon Road, #01 -64, The Poiz Centre, Singapore 347697

It is a 2-min walk from Potong Pasir Exit C.

(They have another outlet at Toa Payoh!)

i’m a combi & acne-prone skin girlie. i was due for a facial and came across this facial place on lemon8. i had bad experiences with other facials such as scarring, skin became sensitive, extreme pain during extraction, hard selling, etc, so i contemplated on whether i should even go for it. after days of consideration, i decided to just give it a shot.

i opt-ed for the ultra calm therapy (trial price $68, U.P $148) under the recommendation of the beautician based on my skin condition.

💆🏻‍♀️ the process of the facial:

1. cleansing

2. scrub

3. steam

4. extraction

5. high frequency (antiseptic)

6. essence with cold compress machine

7. neck and shoulder massage

8. purifying mask

9. toner & sunblock

throughout the entire process, my beautician was super gentle and shared with me each step that she was doing. during the extraction, the pain was very minimal, i’d say 1/10, and i almost fell asleep numerous time. there were a couple of times the pain peaked to 6 bc the blackheads were rly stubborn, but still manageable.

my favourite part of the facial is the cold compress and shoulder massage! 🤭 after the facial was done, i got dressed, drank a cup of tea, paid and left. there were no hard selling of facial packages or products AT ALL. i did ask abt their facial packages before i left though, bc i was pretty happy with the overall service!

Are these 🍩 Mister Donuts worth the hype? For S$2.30 to S$2.50 per donut, it’s actually reasonably priced. I will buy again when the limit for Pon De Ring donuts are lifted.

Part time job for Thursday night

Finally after attending 3 trainings, here we are activated to work on 21/9/23! Training includes hands-on on removing and installing of iPhones and security system.

We started deactivating and removing old iPhones (14) on the store display table and one old series Apple Watch.

Was tasked to open up iphone 15 pro max / iphone 15 pro / iphone 15 & 1 Apple Watch!

Doing the set up on the iphones and watch was easy, installing the security stuff was manageable but putting up the graphic took us like 3-4 tries as it was too tight to slot in the side.

Started work at 930pm and ended work at 1230am. Could be way earlier like 11pm though 😖

Received quite a far bit of questions regarding this job…

Let me share more here!

We are required to attend 3 training for this launch.

Attend 3 training from 7-10pm, we will get $135.

Activation night on 21 Sep, we get $110.

Total for this job is $245.

They usually hire more adhoc part time yearly doing iPhone launch, for those MacBook launch etc ( are considered as smaller scale).

Each store usually have 2 part timers to do the job, if you applied as couple they will pair you guys together on activation night.

Otherwise, you will be paired usually with the opp gender.
