你好!!!
Welcome back, and to the 4th Episode of Beauty Series in Mad Season 1!!!
Have you checked out the previous episodes and primped yourself well???
For today!!!
Ving tried out this Foot Exfoliating Mask that was bought during a recent Hong Kong trip, from a chain called Bonjour (similar to Sasa).
Previously I’ve tried foot mask from Tony Moly, and it was actually quite good.
So I had been anticipating how will the effect be for this. Here’s how the mask looks like! Wash your feet clean already, then wear them like shoes!
Leave them on for 45-60mins, during which you can just do your own stuff while waiting for the liquid to be absorbed into your soles.
When time’s up, rinse off the mask liquid with warm water. Couple of days later……. Ok the image of my peeling sole is rather unglam, but a little ‘sacrifice’ to show you how it be like after using the mask hahaha…..
A week after, my soles are still at the last stage of the peeling process.
Try to use a foot mask once every 1 or 2 months!
Cheers to soft and smooth soles/feet!!!
Kindly support us!!! Thankssssss!!!!! *throws foot masks*
GOOD DAYYY!!!
Welcome back, and to the 4th Episode of Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
For today!!
Let’s go back to bit of old school (yes again)!
Ving took up the challenge and attempted to build up a Poker House!
I remembered me and my friends used to do that quite often during school days, and challenged ourselves to build it wider and taller.
Instead of using poker cards, I tried to use this Monster High edition of Uno cards.
I love them! Super cool hahaha…… How did it go? Didn’t succeed!!! BAHHH…… >.<|||
So I decided to try again using normal poker cards… I’m not sure if it’s coz I’ve butter fingers, or that the cards got too smooth, or the table which I placed the cards on was smooth and shaky, or there’s an invisible gust of wind I didn’t sense of.
It took quite some efforts before I actually managed to even do up one layer for the poker house!! That was the best I could do it!!!
Not fantastic I know haha but whatever………
At least I still manage to succeed building up a one-room poker house. *smug*
Kindly support us!!! Thankssssss!!!!!! *throws poker cards the gambling god’s way*
ANNYOHASAEYO!!!!
Welcome back, and to the 3rd Episode of the Cooking Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Have you tried out the recipes in the previous episodes???
For today!!!
Ving tried whipping up a Korean-Japanese (2 of my favourite cuisines) fusion dinner.
Here are the ingredients:
Chicken / Korean Rice Cakes / Hotdogs / Straw Mushrooms / Tofu / Kimchi / Edamame / Seaweed / Cabbage / Carrots / Japanese Miso Soup Base / Onions / Oil / Korean Chilli Paste / Tteokbokki Sauce / Multi-purpose Sauce 1st Step:
Thaw the Chicken for Spicy Chicken Stew. 2nd Step:
Prepare the ingredients. 3rd Step:
Start cooking!
For me, I started with the Miso Soup first.
1. Fill up your pot with water (up to you on how much soup you want then fill up accordingly, with bit of excess for evaporation during simmering).
2. Add in Miso Paste (if you prefer it more flavorful, add more).
3. When it started boiling, add in the Tofu cubes.
4. Leave it to simmer while you prepare the Chicken Stew.
5. At in some Seaweed before serving.
4th Step:
Start on Spicy Chicken Stew.
1. Soften the Rice Cakes by placing them in boiling water for couple of minutes, then drain them and put them aside.
2. Pour some oil into pot, then stir fry some Onions.
3. Add Cabbage and Carrots in.
4. Add in Korean Chilli Paste, Tteokbokki Sauce and Multi-purpose Sauce, then mix all evenly. 5. Add in one small packet of Kimchi, then Straw Mushrooms and Hotdogs.
6. Simmer for awhile.
7. Add in the Rice Cakes that had been softened, add well as the diced Chicken meat.
8. Mix all together evenly, then simmer for awhile more. Serve!!! Makgeolli (Makkoli) optional! Verdict:
S. U. C. C. E. S. S. Do stay tuned for the 4th Episode of Building Series which will be up on coming Monday!!!

BONJOUR!!!
Welcome back, and to the 3rd Episode of the Beauty Series in Mad Season 1!!!
For the previous episode of this Beauty Series, Ving helped Ginzy dyed her hair to try cover the whites.
Since her hair length’s rather short, there was actually still some hairdye left over in the bottle.
Hence for today!!!
Ving attempted this little experiment with the remaining hairdye, while waiting for the hairdye colour to be absorbed onto Ginzy’s hair.
1st Step:
Prepare a pair of fake lashes. 2nd Step:
Apply a thick layer of the hairdye onto the fake lashes. 3rd Step:
Leave it for (the same amount of time as dyeing human hair) the hairdye to get absorbed in. 4th Step:
When the time’s up, rinse off the hairdye.
End result??? Verdict:
Hairdye for human hair isn’t able to be used to dye fake lashes that are made of fibres.
Too bad!!! Now we know hahaha…. >.<”
Do stay tuned for the 3rd Episode of the Cooking Series which will be out on Friday!!!
Kindly support us!!! Thankssssss!!!! *throws fake lashes*
Welcome back, and to the 3rd Episode of the Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed checking out all the previous episodes we had so far!!
Ving stumbled upon a Sanrio fair at Takashimaya awhile back, and was elated to find some products of her favourite Sanrio character on discount!! (No. Not Hello Kitty.)
Here’s KUROMI!!! Some other items which I bought!!
I really like Nanoblock too, so I was so happy when I saw that they were selling Kuromi’s Nanoblock at the Sanrio fair!! Perfect combi for me!!!
So for today!!
Ving will be fixing up Kuromi’s Nanoblock!!!
Here’s the instruction manual provided in the pack. Not long after…….
TADAH!!! Super cute!!!
I couldn’t resist taking few more shots of it! Verdict:
It’s quite easy to fix up, just that you’ll need to be bit careful not to lose any of the pieces as they are kinda tiny.
Another plus point is that in the pack, it does provide you with some extra pieces of the blocks should you happen to lose any.
Start fixing up your Nanoblocks now!!!
Have fun!!!
Do stay tuned for the 3rd Episode of the Beauty Series which will be up on Wednesday!!!

Welcome back, and to the 2nd Episode of the Cooking Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you had fun trying out the stuff in the previous episodes of the various series!!!
For today!!!
It was early rise and shine as Ving attempted in making breakfast!! I decided to try out the pancake mix from Betty Crocker for this meal. 1st Step:
Mix the Pancake Mix with water, according to the proportions given at the back of the box. I added in some chopped bananas too for my pancakes. 2nd Step:
Scoop a portion using a ladle, and pour onto the non-stick pan that’s already smeared with some cooking oil.
Let it sizzles till bubbles form on the pancake, then flip over.
Unknowingly, I created a new invention.
It is called “The Scrambled Pancakes”.
I’ve also prepared some other ingredients to go with the Scrambled Pancakes for a heartier breakfast. And here’s Ving’s style of a hearty breakfast to begin the day with!!
(Yes. I actually attempted the Scrambled Pancakes 4 times, and the 5th time the pancake was made by putting it into the oven.) Verdict:
1st attempt at making the Scrambled Pancakes was actually the best, and it wasn’t even done on purpose.
It still does taste like normal pancakes, just without the ‘standard’ look.
The way to do it was just too scrambled it up when it’s half-cooked and threatening to stick onto your pan.
Give it a couple of flips too in making sure the mixture’s been cooked thoroughly. You can serve with some jam too.
Enjoy!!!!!
Do stay tuned to the 3rd Episode of the Building Series which will be up on coming Monday!!!

Welcome back, and to Episode 2 of the Beauty Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed the previous episodes of our various series so far!!!
For today!!!
Ving took up the challenge of helping her sidekick Ginzy (pronounced as Gin-Gee) cover her uncountable amount of white hair with DIY hairdye.
L’oreal recently came up with this new Fashion series of hairdye colors, hence we decided to give it a shot.
Me like the Black+Gold color theme……. 1st Step:
Apply the “Protective Pre-Color Serum” onto dry hair. Leave it in. No need to wash off.
2nd Step:
Mix the “Protective Creme Colorant” and “Creme Developer” together well.
3rd Step:
Put on the plastic gloves that are provided.
4th Step:
Apply the mixture onto hair evenly. Verdict:
The color actually turns out rather nicely.
However, it doesn’t help much in covering white hair. It only did for the 1st day, but subsequently the white hair became obvious again.
The best color to cover white hair is actually still black color, which can hide white hair for a longer period of time.
This range is still worth a try if you aren’t looking at covering white hair.
Plus it does smell nice too!!
Do stay tuned for the 2nd Episode of our Cooking Series to be out on this Friday!!!

Welcome back, and to Episode 2 of the Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed the previous episodes of our series so far!!!
For today!!!
Ving attempted to build up this Wooden Watermill from its kit!
I like this type of hands-on toys actually, that requires you to use your brain and common sense while fixing it up.
It was rather popular when I was young (oops did I just revealed my age??) before all the electronic products/toys took over, and cost bit more as compared to present times. I bought the colored ice cream sticks as well coz I thought of building up a fence around this Watermill for an additional effect.
It reminded me of the times when my Art teacher will tell us to make artworks using ice cream sticks, and have them painted as last time we just used the normal brown colored ones.
Ahhh…. Nostalgia….
Here are the pieces as well as instructions (or the lack there of) for fixing up the Watermill.
While I was building it up along the way, frustration soon set in.
I came to realise that the pieces weren’t cut up according to accurate measurements, so there was actually some difficulty trying to fit them all together properly without the whole thing falling apart.
It did fall apart quite a number of times, after which I had to try and secure them again and again.
So if you wanna buy the exact same piece to build up at home, you might wanna prepare some glue to secure the parts together (although you aren’t supposed to or required to use glue for such models).
Anyways!!
After all the extra unnecessary hassle, I managed to fix it up rather decently.
Ended up I didn’t do up the colorful fence to surround the Watermill, coz this already made me spend quite abit of time.
Will keep the ice cream sticks for next round!!
Verdict:
It’s still a fun process fixing such models up, though there were hiccups along the way.
I’ll still buy other designs to build if I’ve more space in my room haha…..
I might even consider painting them too! For a more personal touch to the final product.
Do stay tuned for our 2nd Episode of our Beauty Series on this Wednesday!!

Welcome back, and to the 3rd series of our Mad Season 1!!!
As can be guessed from the heading, this 3rd series will be about Cooking!!!
In the different episodes, Ving will try to cook various dishes but without much recipes!
So mostly will be based on gut feel/past experiences/limited knowledge hahaha…….
For today!!!
Ving tried to prepare a western-style dinner of wraps and soup!
Firstly, grocery shopping for ingredients……… Of coz this whole lot isn’t just for one meal (I’m stocking up the fridge!!).
Optional:
Grapes / Cherry Tomatoes / Sparkling Juice or Wine
1st Step:
Cut up all the ingredients needed. *Chop chop chop* Here are some other ingredients already cut up for the wrap’s filling, namely Mushrooms / Hotdogs / Picnic Ham.
As well as Corn for Corn-on-the-Cob! 2nd Step:
Cooking potato soup. Place the chopped up Potatoes into a pot, together with half a carton of Milk as well as the Mozzarella Cheese.
(Using Mozzarella Cheese will make the soup have a light cheese taste. If you prefer a stronger cheese taste, you can choose Parmesan Cheese instead.) 3rd Step:
After boiling for awhile, add in some finely chopped Basil leaves to the soup. Leave it to boil slowly while you prepare the wraps. 4th Step:
Pre-heat oven to 180°C for couple of minutes. Place some Mozzarella Cheese on a Wrap, then put it into the oven that has been pre-heated. Heat the Wrap for about 5 minutes. 5th Step:
While the Wrap’s getting heated in the oven, stir-fry the filling for it.
Instead of using cooking oil, I used some Butter for a change.
After the Butter melted, throw the cut Onions into the pot and stir-fry.
Then throw the Mushrooms, Hotdogs and Picnic Ham in and stir-fry all together. 6th Step:
Apply some Butter and Salt all over the Corn, and wrap it up with Aluminium Foil. Heat it in the oven for about 20 minutes. 7th Step:
SERVE ALL!!! Verdict:
It’s yummy!!! Hahaha…..
The whole process took about 1.5 hour, including preparing the ingredients. It’s actually quite easy to make, so everyone should give this a shot!!!

Welcome back and to the 2nd series of our Mad Season 1!!!
If you’ve already guessed from the heading, this 2nd series will be about Beauty!!
We’ll be touching on different aspects of Beauty for this series, so we hope it can be like a surprise for you when you come back to check out new episodes (as of the same for the other 2 series too).
For today!!!
Ving recently tried out this Character Print Nail Art set from Korea which was a gift from sidekick Ginzy.
It looks really interesting!
The instructions were in Korean though. But based on the images provided, you’ll be able to understand quite easily the proper way to do this nail art.
So!! Based on my understanding, here’s how we do it……………….
1st step: Apply 2 layers of the white nail polish onto your nails. 2nd step: While waiting for the nail polish to dry, you can cut out small pieces of the pattern design which you would like to have on your nails.
For me, I chose a cupcakes design as well as this cute skulls design (not pictured below).
(Plus a random cameo by Zown de Clown.) 3rd step: Apply the Transfer Solution (hot pink bottle) onto a small piece of the design which you’d cut out earlier (on the side with the pattern). Then press it onto your nail before the solution dries up.
This step’s bit tricky. After I tried on few of my nails, I realised that it’ll be better if you apply a layer of the solution onto the flip side of the patterned paper as well while it’s on your nail.
Reason being that the paper will actually get stuck onto your nails too together with the design.
Applying onto the flip side as well will help the design to get stuck onto your nails better, and reduces the chances of the paper getting stuck together.
Think of it as trying to ‘paste’ those temporary tattoos onto your skin.
Here are the 1st 2 nails which I tried on with the skull pattern, which didn’t come out that nicely and obvious. After ‘pasting’ on the cupcakes design as well, which not the full pattern came out too.
Conclusion: It’s still worth trying! Just that it’ll require some practise before you’ll be able to get the perfect full pattern onto your nails. Still can be a fun activity for a girly night-in with your girlfriends!! ^_^
Do stay tuned for the 1st episode of our 3rd series which will be up on this Friday!!!
