A Fatty Package

The day before yesterday was a very special day.


We got us a package delivered! We'd been waiting and waiting...I think it took over 2 weeks to arrive from the US. Guess why?


Yar seriously. So the the US postal service can't read. I mean M-A-L-A-Y-S-I-A looks NOTHING like T-H-A-I-L-A-N-D, does it? Duh.
Having said that, we have a wonderful friend called Paul Wong who lives in the US. And in the US, they have exceptionally good chocolate. Look what he sent us:




Mexican Chocolate – comes in blocks that you can break off and shave, then add to hot milk! Mmmm mmm, can't wait to try it out!


Ooh – Uncle Paul loves us, cos me likes Ghirardelli!


How not to be happy? Got free toiletries somemore.



Just to prove to you what a journey my sweet toiletries and chockies had to go through, check this out:

Don't play play. Am eating up a storm now. And yeah, if you feel like some chocolates, don't ask us. We're not sharing. THANKS UNCLE PAUL!

p/s None of the dogs featured actually consumed any of the chocolates. Chocolates are poisonous to dogs. They were only allowed to sniff em.

Meet Meme me!

Thanks to Pulau Yueli, I got called a vainpot and now have to do this.
Twist my arm...now you will know the most valuable beauty secrets from Mother O' Mowpea.

What Five beauty products could you not live without?

Moisturizer for face
Sunblock
Undereye concealer
Body lotion
Facial cleanser

What’s the worst beauty mistake you’ve made?
Getting a super short crop-like Anne Heche ala "Psycho". So didn't work for me.

What’s your skincare regime consist of?
DAY:
-Cleanse with Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution
-Toner from Dermalogica
-Moisturize with Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream
-Apply Skinceuticals Eye gel AOX to under eye area
-Dermalogica Total Eye Care spf15

NIGHT:
Same first 3 steps on top, followed by:
Neostrata eye cream


Favourite Beauty treat?
A facial and sometimes pedicure (ooh)

What’s your favourite beauty store?
Ummm...Leonard Drake I guess since most of the stuff I use is Dermalogica.
Though I found that I can get most stuff online now for LESS. 2 good websites:
skincarerx.com
skinstore.com
Cheaper with a coupon code.

Favourite Budget brand?
In2it for makeup

Favourite Premium brands?
Dermalogica, Neostrata and Skinceuticals for skincare.
Shiseido, Shuemura, and Bobbi Brown for makeup.

And what about Skin Care: Favourite Premium and Budget brands?
Premium: Dermalogica for face
Budget: Nivea for body lotion and lip balm

And Hair Care?
I mix it up between Loreal profesional and the cheaper line.

What’s your ’every girl must own one’ item?
Every girl must own TWO items: Moisturizer & concealer

And finally, best beauty tip?
Errm wear sunblock when diving, AND sunglasses, even when a whale shark is about to appear. Otherwise get undereye wrinkles like mine.

Now that my ancient beauty secrets have been revealed, I dunno who to tag, so simplylah:
ooj-haha!
Paul Wong-haha!
Stacy Krolczyk
Ian Hodkinson-haha!

A wedding to attend



A slobbery wedding affair:
Pugs in wedding clothes wait for their turn to walk down the aisle during an attempt to break the Guinness record for the largest mass dog "wedding", in Littleton, Colorado May 19, 2007. Fifty dog "couples" were married on Saturday, surpassing the previous record of 26 set in the Netherlands. -Reuters

Can-ine marry you? Hehe...

Singapore, Singapore.



Mowpea enjoys an occasional PCK.
And the shopping is great.
And what a clean country.
Though you have to admit, not unlike other countries, Singapore does open themselves up for ridicule every so often.

Mowpea loooooves this article because it gives them all the more reason to make fun of Singaporeans :-b

Woot! Or rather, Woof! What a hoot!
