Malaysia Boleh @ Jurong Point

Yesterday was my Company's shutdown and I made a rare trip to Boon Lay MRT station to try the newly open food court.


Even though it's a weekday (Christmas eve actually), it was very crowded and I join the queue for this stall to order prawn noodle $3.50. Bewarn that the serving is quite small...

 

I saw many people patronising these two stalls and hope to try them in my next visit.

Singapore Credit Cards

I personally prefer getting cash rebates rather than earning reward points to exchange for vouchers. These 2 credit cards are must haves if you are like me:

UOB One Card
Earn you up to S$600 in annual cash rebates on everything you buy, every time, everywhere including your 0% Instalment Payment Plan purchases!

 

 
 
Once I have charge $300 to my UOB One card every month, I will charge the rest of my purchases to Maybank card as I cannot hit the next $800 band...
 
Maybank Family & Friends Platinum MasterCard
Enjoy 5% cash rebates at selected merchants and 0.5% cash rebates on all your other purchases
 


If you drives a car...

Citibank Dividend Card
5% cash back on petrol, 2% on dinning, groceries & pharmacies globally with a transaction amount of at least equivalent to S$50. All other transactions will be awarded 0.5% cash back.

my Qoo10 puchases (previously known as Gmarket)

Lately I seldom go online to shop... I only buy once a month when something catches my eyes...

 
Laptop keyboard skins protector
I'm now using the free Acer laptop that I got from signing a 2 years broadband contract with SingTel so I bought one for protection. I have been using it for close to 2 months and it doesn't come off.

 
 
SASA Body SPA Natural Sea Salt Scrub
After watching the videos which I shared previously, I decided to get a scrub to exfoliate specially for my legs with ingrown hairs. I try to do it everyday to get rid of dead skins and the improvement is evident.
 
 
Ciracle Secret Sebum Powder
I just placed order cos my T-zone is quite oily and the reviews so far are quite good. Hope it will help to control oil effectively.

Quick at-Home Manicure Step by Step



I have benefited from watching this video and hope to share with everyone. My first attempt was quite clumsy but still managed to get rid of some dead skin. Most difficult part is actually using left hand to work on the right hand. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!

Dinner @ Kungfu Paradise in Jcube on 07.07.2012

I first notice this restaurant when I went to Sembawang Shopping Centre but did not have the chance to give it a try. Last Saturday, I was at Jcube and was surprised to see an outlet there.


fr left to right: Hot Honey with Lemon and A&W Root Beer Float


Cheesy Potato Wedges

Kungfu Bun

Chicken Cutlet

 Prawn Curry Rice

Verdict: I was honestly quite disppointed. The food is not that fantastic. Do not think I would dine there again.
