Almost all gloom and doom.

June 10, 2010 in Personal Recommendations, Rants and Opinions by somethingboutrenes | No comments

Today is not the best day of my life. In fact it’s rather gloomy.

I went for facial yesterday and ended up looking like crap today. What’s with all the scabs, redness and swollen nose!

I hate working with fickle-minded boss and one who asked the same question over and over again. Worst still, one who don’t bother remembering the answers you provide repeatedly.

Tried out a new class in Amore and ended up feeling like a lump of fats with two left feet. What’s with all the twirling, hopping, skipping and jumping?!

My day was all gloom and doom until I read A Beautiful Mess. Reading Elsie and Jeremy’s adventure on a road trip to Chicago makes me happy.  I need a road trip too! Found out about iPhone’s Hipstamatic application through Elsie and it’s one app worth paying a dollar ninety nine for! I took random shots on the way home, smiling like a child at the wonderful effects it created! Love it!

Here are some random pictures I took using the hip app!

With Kaimal Mark II lens. Yes this is how my desk looks like. I need a Trash ‘Em Day!

With Jimmy lens. I love random stuffs.

With John S lens. This is my personal favourite! My favourite Dino Bank talking to a random dude! Dino Bank accompanied me since I was ten. I love him except that he holds my life savings. HAH.

Go get your hip app! Haha!

Take them home!

Remember a while ago I wrote a post about a talented local singer – Jean Tan? Cowboy Caleb thinks she is good too!

Red Ribbons Giveaway.

December 1, 2009 in Events & Happenings, Freebies, Personal Recommendations, Rants and Opinions by somethingboutrenes | 6 comments

Read the news and it reminded me it’s World AIDS Day today. It has been more than a year since our “Hearts of Hope” project with the Patient Care Centre and I would like to take this opportunity to shout out to all SbR readers to support this cause, to not discriminate this group of people and to give them a second chance to live a fulfilling life.

I’ve collected a bunch of these beautifully handmade beaded red ribbons when I was in the project and I would like to give these red ribbons to my readers.

These ribbons will be given free with postage but with one condition, you need to prominently display these pins (e.g on your clothes, as a necklace, with your keys on your bags etc) and , if possible, send me a picture of how you display these pins! International readers welcome! To participate, simply drop me a comment!

Brown Brothers.

October 25, 2009 in Food, Personal Recommendations by somethingboutrenes | 2 comments

Remember in one of my earlier post I raved about how awesome Brown Brothers Zibibbo Rose is? It’s still as good as I first tasted it! It is also unbelievable cheap! It was $23 – 25? But I spotted it at one of the FairPrice stores going for only $19.90! YUM YUM.

Moove Love.

October 18, 2009 in Friends, Personal Recommendations by somethingboutrenes | No comments

Stephanie gave us one of these during our dinner gathering after our training! This is not a condom even though the packaging may look like one. It’s actually a Moove Love badge!

Moove Love is a 3 month long charity campaign till 31st Dec, targeting to raise $100,000 for The Home Nursing Foundation through the sales of Moove Love Merchandises. The merchandises come in 5 personality cows – fun, crazy, rock, cool and sexy, created to bring joy to the land. (Read all about it here!)

Through random selection (just like the Ti-Kam, Ti-Kam from the olden days) I got myself a Fun Badge!

The Fun personality cow is full of excitement, merriment and playfulness (just like me!). With the Fun personality cow, you never need to experience another dull moment, for he is simply full of life (that’s me!). Endowed with an optimistic outlook, his mojo comes from being able to just let loose and enjoy the moment. A lively personality that would surely brighten up your day!

Thank you Stephanie!

Go get yours today or tomorrow!

Drink Milk.

anlene chocolate milk

To avoid becoming a wrinkly old woman with a hunched back and brittle bones obviously suffering from osteoporosis, I’ve decided to start drinking milk heavily infused with calcium. If you hate the taste of fresh milk just like me, you can try drinking Anlene’s 19-50YRS HI-CAL LOW FAT Chocolate Flavoured Milk Powder! It tastes just like Milo!

Shopping in U.S.A.

Some friends have been asking where I got my wallet from at such a ridiculous discount. Here’s my secret. USAshoppingspree is based in Washington. It is set up by a Singaporean who is now residing in the United States.

We aim to bring you the best by conducting Sprees on popular American brands such as Kate Spade, Coach, A&F etc.

The lady, Amanda, is friendly, reliable, helpful and responsive in all questions posted! Highly recommended by friends and myself who used her service! Look for her during the sale season and you will be awed by the ludicrous savings you can enjoy!

SbR goes International.

I realized Nuffnang is not just beneficial in terms of monetary sense, it also aids in understanding your readers.

Besides providing statistical information such as views information (general views, unique views, per hour/day/week/month) and referrals information, it also provides readers information (if you’re also a Nuffnanger) and reader’s geographical location (in terms of country). How cool is that!

This can be useful information if you have friends / lover(s) / enemies / families overseas and you wonder if they ever visit your blog!

international

Because of this information, I am pleased to announce, SbR is international! We have readers from United States, France and United Kingdom! Ok. I must be mad, even though they probably contribute to less than 10% of my readership and I can probably guess who these people are, I am still thrilled! I’m insane.
