I met Huiping and Renny (Huiping’s husband) for okonomiyaki back in late March this year. We went to Ajiya Okonomiyaki near Beauty World MRT.

Then we had desserts at Beauty World shopping centre (I think that’s the name). I must say that the desserts are the best part of the gathering… The okonomiyaki isn’t as good as I thought it would be. I went to another okonomiyaki shop recently and whoa, it’s really good. I’m going to go there again. Will blog about it when the photos are up on my Instagram. 🙂 

Well, I find the okonomiyaki at Ajiya rather expensive. How it works is that you pick the key ingredients like pork, bacon, etc and they will add it to your order. However, the base ingredients are quite basic. Like cabbage and egg. For the price and the taste, I would not recommend anyone to go Ajiya. You are probably better off cooking it yourself at home or go to Seiwaa (which is the one that I am going to recommend).

In my last blog post, I mentioned how I got 2 makeup related events. Well, that’s unusual for me since I am not a beauty blogger or completely into makeup.

My first makeup related event (on the spree of makeup events) is Chanel Coco Game Center and I went with Geck Keat before meeting the rest of the Randumps clique for lunch. It’s been a few months ever since we last met. I think we last met last December. It’s great to meet them just before my final exam as well. 😀 

Chanel Coco Game Center is Chanel’s event to promote their new Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Blush (meant for cheeks and lips). I almost bought it though. Haha, I still got my new lipstick this month though. I went for the Dior Addict lipstick in IT Pink. 🙂 

Anyway, since it is a game center theme, there are some games to play which of course, I sucked at all of them.

Apparently Rayner flew to Perth with Yilin’s family for vacation and none of us knew about it. But he still bought us cute koala bear souvenirs from his vacation. Thanks Rayner! :happy: 

We went Saizeriya for lunch and whoa, we kind of ordered a bit too much too. :stressed:

After lunch, we walked around randomly and I discovered a random book gift…

Not something that I would go for but I’m sure some of you will be interested in it…

I was at Kinokuniya and was reading the book on Korean skin care (this one) and got inspired to blog about my own skincare routine. I have blog about it in my previous posts before:

• My skin care regime in early twenties – 2014
• My skin care regime in mid twenties – 2017

I’m going to use the same format again. 🙂 

Day care

1. Cleanser (I’m currently using Fancl Washing Powder)
2. Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing eye cream
3. Laneige White Dew Ampoule Essence
4. Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream
5. Clarins UV Plus Sunscreen (I’m using the tinted version that is only found in USA)
6. CNP Laboratory Omega Perfection Sun Block (for my neck and arms)
7. Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion EX or Diorskin Forever Perfect Cushion
8. Belif Sun Powder (optional since I don’t really use it so often)

Night care

1. Makeup remover
2. Cleanser (I’m currently using Fancl Washing Powder)
3. Any masks that I happened to buy (which is a huge range so I’m not going to list them here)
4. Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing eye cream
5. Muji Light Toning Water High Moisture (My all-time holy grail product!)
6. Innisfree Green Tea Serum

Damage*: S$656 to S$661

*I’m following the prices I found online and not the ones that I actually paid for. I always do my due diligence when it comes to buying the products and where+when to buy them. So what I paid for might be significantly lesser…

Seems like I should expand on my night skin care regime… 6 steps is probably not sufficient, haha. 

It has been a fun-filled (filled with makeup related stuff) these few weeks. I went for not just 1, but 2 makeup related events! Yay for learning more about makeup and surrounding myself with makeup stuff (without buying them, haha).

Anyway, I shall blog on my last makeup event (the most recent one) first…

I saw Larry’s Instagram post about how he has tickets for his 3INA makeup event and immediately went to ask him if he can give me the pair of tickets. It’s awesome that I got it and I went with Rui Yun. 🙂 It’s my first time attending Larry’s makeup event. For those who don’t know him, he is one of my favourite makeup artists whom I followed on social media. He’s based in Singapore and his makeup trends are very much influenced by Korean. Well… makeup + korean beauty = Sakura’s favourites. Haha. I’m glad that I got a chance to see him in action and learned some useful tips from him. Like how I should blend my eye brow makeup much better to make it look natural. Eye brow makeup is important to frame your face, k? Haha. :happy: 

I haven’t been 3INA store cause it looks pretty expensive. Turns out that it’s not very expensive. In fact, it’s quite affordable and is similar to drugstore brands’ pricing. I love it that they have 24 shades for their foundation. Not sure about the formulae/quality but having 24 shades is pretty good!

Will I buy 3INA cosmetics? Well, maybe yes? But I need to finish my current makeup items first! Hahaha. 🙂 

I went to Hansul – Korean Dining Bar with Rui Yun yesterday. Well, someone recommended me and we were supposed to go. Well, life goes on and obviously we never went there in the end. I’m glad that I still get to try it in the end though. Will I go back there again? Nah, the food quality is just not worth a second try.

We ordered the army stew and the potato cheese pancake. I have never seen a potato cheese pancake and Rui Yun was saying that it is like rosti. So we end up trying it. It’s not that bad but oh well, it’s not something that I would order again.
