Latest Mobile App: LoveByte

Just downloaded this app & already hooked on it~

LoveByte, a Singapore startup mobile app first launched its first beta version on the App Store in July 2012.

Girlfriends, it's a dating app where you pen down memories with your boyfriends!
Boyfriends, you'll never forget important dates in your relationship anymore!

Over 100K Downloads & with presence in 96 countries since its iOS open-beta launch, this 'Made In Singapore' by Singaporean Steve Sng mobile app is AWESOME!


LoveByte

You get scratchcards from your other halves.
You can send them one too.

About Scratchcard

Voted as the most unique and innovative feature of LoveByte, the scratchcard is very popular among users. Couples are encouraged to send each other date ideas through the form of a silver-filmed scratchcard. The receiver will then get to ‘scratch’ by rubbing the screen to reveal the content. LoveByte believes that this helps to add an element of surprise and fun into a couple’s relationship.

“We found that finding things to do together was a common problem that most couples faced”, Steve shared. “As such, we hope that the scratchcard feature can encourage couples to go out and try new activities together.”

Hurray!

Here's my new account:

I designed a cover photo to 'customised' my account.
The downside of this function, you can't adjust, resize and crop the photo so the photos you choose for your avatars and cover have to be sized perfectly before you upload it.

I designed this photo 6 times before I got my satisfied cover:

The all-in-1 3D eyes makeup: Cellabell M.C. Eyelash Queen and Prep Eye Primer

IMG_7643


Product 01: Cellabell M.C. Eyelash Queen

Are you feeling sick and tired of spending time sticking and re-sticking those fake eyelashes just to get them the right shape and angle, just like me? Always dreamt of having not just naturally long, but also thick eyelashes?

The Cellabell M.C. Eyelash Queen is just the product you need:

IMG_7648

Apart from helping our eyelashes NATURALLY grow thicker and longer, the Cellabel M.C. Eyelash Queen also helps to refresh our tired eyes with fruit and plant extracts. There have even been reports of eyelashes growing from 3mm to 12mm with the help of Cellabel M.C.Eyelash Queen!

The product comes with a measuring ruler to help track the growth of your eyelashes:

IMG_7645

The solution is almost transparent in colour so that you won't look weird after applying it on your eyelashes.

IMG_7650

The brush is also curved slightly, so that it is easier to apply the solution onto your eyelashes.

IMG_7651

IMG_7652

Clumsy me accidentally got some of the solution into my eyes but luckily it didn't really hurt! There was only this 'spicy' sensation in my eyes that lasted for only a few seconds. Phew!

Time to snap a before and after picture with the handy eyelash ruler.
Put this ruler under your closed eye to find out how long your eyelashes are:

IMG_7646

It took a few tries to get used to the positioning of the ruler, but after a while it gets pretty easy.

My eyelash length before Cellabel Eyelash Queen, Day 0: 6mm

Here's a quick snapshot guide on how to use the curved brush to apply the solution onto your lashes. (Don't ask me what the Korean words mean, I have no idea too :P)

Picture 9

Pretty easy to apply when you have a mirror in front of you.
My suggestion to you is to apply it like how you'd apply your mascara.
Avoid the extension brush in your eyes to avoid that spicy sensation.

This is how I apply:
IMG_7764

You'll be able to see results in about 10 days, the length depending on each individual.
Today is my 6th and I'm going to update the length with a photo on my 10th day so watch this space:


Day 10: ???? MM

Here's a picture of my eyes taken without applying ANYTHING:

Notice the eyebags & dark circles beneath my eyes yet:

I accidentally press out too much and end up applying some of the eye primer around my lip area too:

Pat the eye primer around your eyes to give it better absorption BEFORE applying your eye makeup:

Notice any difference here:

It's quite obvious that the primer worked its concealer-function on my left eye(which is your right side):

It's so much easier to put on make up when you apply primers on your face BEFORE wearing any cosmetics. Here's a natural shade of eye shadow I did:

Ohhhh Kenting Kenting.
I want to go Kenting!

Kenting National Park is Taiwan's oldest and southernmost national park well known for its tropical climate and sunshine, scenic mountain and beach. When I visited Taiwan, their locals have strongly recommended me to visit Kenting because it's one of their favourite resort places!

Hello Zhang Zhen Yue & Joanna Wang at the Media Conference!

IMG_7747

IMG_7746



IMG_7744


I was out of breath when I was up-close with one of my favourite Mandopop singers of all times, Zhang Zhen Yue, who is in the Mandopop industry for almost 20 years now. I grew up listening to his song compositions.


His song 'Ai Wo Bie Zou' which means 'Don't go if you love me'.
I sing this song every other week at my singing gig:




I can listen to this song a zillion times and yet still feel the attaction to the song like I've only listened to it for the very first time and fall in love.


Zhang Zheng Yue

I love what he said at the Media Conference yesterday. As a passionate song writer, he thrives & insist that he puts his truest, most genuine feelings into his composition rather than considering and catering to what the market wants him to do. He feels that when someone writes a song using his most honest & sincere feelings at that point of time, he believes his audience will be able to feel the same and will be able to relate to the song.

Awww... I'll always bear this in mind.
To write my truest and most sincere feelings. :)

Take a sneak peek into Chun Lang 2011 in Kenting featuring Zhang Zhen Yue:





My long papa LOVES the voice of Joanna Wang Ruo Lin so much that he bought her CD and play it at his bar! Joanna has got beautiful jazzy vocals which immediately caught my attention the first time I heard the songs she sang playing.

Joanna shares with us at the Media conference she'll be performing other songs apart from the songs in her album. Whee~

Try mimmick her singing at Karaoke; not easy really.









Here's a toast to Tiger beer!
