Last week of school is over. Can't switch to mugging mode, how?
My week, hmmm.
Turkey Carbonara from Pitchstop
So yums but so sinful
Yummy salad (only remembered to take a picture after I'm almost done with it)
Ham, cucumber, lettuce and onions! Dressing is some sour salty sauce. First time adding uncooked onions to my salad and it's sho nice.
Ok be right back! I've drafts waiting for me to fill up. ^^
Will try to put my mugging cap on.
黑人牙膏. Tell me who is not familiar with Mr Darlie? I've been using Darlie toothpaste for the longest time (switched to other brands but somehow this is my favourite?). I really like the Expert White toothpaste but it is deemed pricey so my dad doesn't buy that :(. Currently using Darlie All Shiny, works okay but definitely not as well as Expert White.
Then I was sent the new Charcoal toothpaste!

I've been using twice a day for 12 days and this is what I've gathered. Oh missed one of the days as I was staying in hall.
Whitening in 14 days
I tend to pick toothpastes with whitening properties. Who doesn't want a set of Pearlie whites?! I drink coffee/tea quite frequently to keep myself awake. I can study more efficiently when I have a small cup of caffeine. :/ However, coffee/tea stains my teeth so bad. The staining was so bad last semester wtf. Foresee the same thing happening very soon.
I didn't put it to the full 14 days test because of my schedule but 12 days ain't that far from it right. I can see a difference after use (especially in the morning) but the results are not permanent.
Stars: 2.5/5
Taste/smell
Doesn't feel as minty as the older version but sufficient to keep your breath fresh. I don't like to talk to people after I brush because I find the mint smell too overpowering. Hence, I'm glad Charcoal clean isn't that overwhelming.
Stars: 3.5/5
Cleaning properties
It cleans really well! I love running my tongue over my smooth teeth after I brushed hehehe.
Stars: 4.5/5
Instant whitening
Not permanent but this is after brushing! Not bad right!
I looked so unkempt. It's sooooo hot I had to tie my hair up when I'm not taking pictures.
Stars: ★★★★☆
The verdict:
I find Charcoal clean even more effective than the older All Shiny white. It foams well hence brushing is relatively easy. I can see a difference, though it doesn't last especially when I ate food that stains, in just a day. I don't blame Darlie though! I can't expect $90 polished teeth just from using a toothpaste right~ However, Darlie (older version) toothpaste kept my teeth really really white for a very long time after my dental appointment 2 years ago LOL. So I figure Charcoal clean will not disappoint me! At an affordable price of $3.20, there's no reason not to give it a try!
Toothbrush I'm using is from Systema, in case you're wondering. It has tiny fibres which clean the little gaps well.
Rating: 8.5/10 Repurchase: Most likely! That is if toothpaste manager (my dad LOL) remembers

*All photos are not edited. (Except for censoring my half-blinked eyes wtf). Shot it in another mode so it's like blueish : |
Here's number 1 and 3. Skipped number 2 because I wanted to include a review of it together.
But I guess I will separate them as it is neater that way.
Number 2 is not so glamorous like number 3 LOL so bear with me.

Signed up for an underarm IPL with them. It is so troublesome to pluck/wax/shave every now and then. Jiang zhen de right! Unless you don't bother.....?
Went for 1 treatment and my second one is in June.
Will share more after the second session!
PS, I'm visiting the new outlet @ WestGate. Quick convenient as I can drop by after school.
It is super super pretty; like a blue etude house. Plus point for that!
PS/S: I feel quite weird writing about this hahahaaha. Sorry ah I'm traditional lolll.
Hey guys!
Coffee saved me; that's why I'm still awake right now. My nap time is from 6-8 or 7-9 lol.
Totally concussed on the short bus ride home after tuition. REALLY very tired but less than 1 month to freedom~. Gonna hang in there~
Had a midterm on Wednesday.
Then I stayed in school on Thursday because I had to submit the lab report on Friday morning. BUT they started collecting on Thursday without informing us wtf. Should have informed us earlier?
Nua in hall after submission. Napped my afternoon away, skipped lunch and dinner because I'm too lazy to head down to buy food. Then we had steamboat for... supper hahahha yumyum.
Today is so warm. :(
Favourite of this week.
I really like this version!

I enjoy Chloe a lot more than I used to. Not the usual scent you will pick up everyday. Not super lasting but I can't expect more for a EDT. Perfumes are expensive because you're paying for the dedication and time from top perfumers and chemists. Every twist of note is carefully crafted and it is so intriguing.
You can say I'm pretty obsessed with this form of Art.
Forgot to write about my week last Sunday. Was too engrossed with Green Chem (Test on Mon). Results were nubad.
#13 is probably super boring because I have zero recollection of it.
#14
Test, reports, trying to start my revision on 2041 (who the hell has midterms on week 12?) and last lab. Lab wasn't as tedious as last sem (usually ends before 12) but well... it's lab. Lab and me don't go well together, sadly.
Anyhow, I thought things are getting better but reality punched me in the face. Planned my birthday on Mothers' Day. Good job jl~
But people who I dear so much once again show me why I can't live without them. x The way ahead is so clear yet I can't see it if you don't point it out to me.
I hope this is the last hurdle I've to cross. Please don't surprise me anymore.
Give my heart a break, life.
Last 3 random points.
1. Exercise everyday (I'm so lazy today so let me take a 1 day off hahaa)
2. Spring in SG
No need to travel all the way to Pasir Ris. Look around you, your neighbourhood. A couple of days ago I passed by WKW and a tree is COVERED with pretty white flowers. At that moment I swear I wanted to bring my camera to school to snap some pictures. Very very pretty. The stairway to my tutee's place is littered with pink petals as well. What a sight. The trees along the road I take everyday has red/yellow leaves - the colours of autumn. Everywhere is beautiful, it is if you even bother to pay attention to your surroundings.
3. And this looks good!
Shall start on my 3 pages of cheat sheets.
22/3/2014, Saturday
Rushed over after tuition that day. Initial plan of visiting a dog cafe failed as that place was packed with people!
So they settled down at Zhong Shan Mall (Near Novena) and finished lunch by the time I reached lol. Ended up stuffing myself with a (really) large piece of cheesecake from Breaktalk. Hello kitty cheesecake to be exact. So cute but tasted okayish?
After which, Zhong Shan Park for a 'mini' photoshoot. Thanks yq for bringing the camera and tripod. And the board too omg really da bao xiao bao.
Props were done by sm.
The rest are up on fb.
The card ape made.
Ok it seems like I'm the most useless person in the group hahahaa. If they are a bunch of very talented minions then I will be Gru, with hair wtf. PM me if you're interested to engage my minions~
Rushed over to Cine to catch Divergent! Oh GrabTaxi app is great I hope it will last a long long time. No need booking charges if I'm not wrong. And my first movie in Cine. No difference eh I think I will stick to cwp's.
Divergent is great, a little like hunger games but I like hunger games better. The male and female leads are so good-looking though wth. *fangirl*
Settled dinner at CoCo... house? It's a store at the basement of 313. I kinda like the curry buttery cream combination but it is not super fantastic.
Kinda plain but so so glad she enjoyed herself. ^^
Happy 21st! Thanks for being my +1 for the longest time.
I don't always have the best personality nor tone but you stood by me no matter what. And took any nonsense I threw at you *guilty*
100 thumbs up and love for you! I mean it!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
