Plastic is Truly Fantastic

Hey everyone,

If you can remember, I've posted about Korean Idols' plastic surgery HERE. Truthfully, whenever I watch Korean Dramas, I've never thought that the lead actress was pretty. They just look OK to me and even worse sometimes I thought they looked ugly. Having watched Sunkyunkwan Scandal, I thought the lead actress was pretty, with her innocent look and not so dumb face (usually Korean lead actresses look like that you know). Her name is Park Min Young.

Park Min Young

Looking at her, I know that is not her original look. I know she would have done something and it turns out to be true. Park Min Young even admitted herself. She stated, " I got double eyelid surgery in junior high school. My mom let me get it so I could become prettier. I also got my nose done, but that's only because my nose was crooked during junior high".

Her before and after look

All I can say is the plastic surgeon sure did a fantastic job!

XOXO :P

Holiday In Beijing with Dearest Friends May 2011

Hey everyone,

End of last month, my dearest colleagues, friends and I went to Beijing for a holiday. Since I have a friend staying in Beijing, hence, accommodation and itinerary wasn't a problem. It was all set for us. All we had to do was just walk and have fun! We absolutely had great fun there.

We took Air Asia to Tianjin and from there we rode a bullet train to Beijing. We stayed at a friend's apartment in Anjialou.

Public transportation was so convenient in Beijing. Thus, we traveled by bus and subway.

Places we went in Beijing:

Beijing Zoo

Forbidden City

Great Wall

Hard Rock Cafe Beijing

Shopping at Yaxiu Shopping Mall in Sanlitun and Sunny Gold Market in Gaojiayuan

Summer Palace

Temple of Heaven

Tian An Men Square

Shopping was absolutely great in Beijing when you really know how to bargain. Shoes and handbags can go as low as RMB50 and that would be about RM25 and the quality is quite good.

XOXO :P

Trip to Taiwan May 2011

Hey everyone,

Last week I had a chance to go for a 5-day trip to Taiwan. I went to Taipei, Taichung, Kinmen Tainan and Kaohsiung.

In Taipei, I went to 101 Taipei (the tallest building in the world from 2004-2010) and Sun Yat-sen Memorial (1st President of Taiwan). Getting taxi in Taiwan is so easy and convenient. I also went to the Shilin Market for dinner and went to the night market nearby. Surprisingly, the night market was clean. You can hardly see any trash on the road.

In Taichung, I went to the night market which was located near to Feng Chia University.

In Kinmen, I had a chance to go to the Yeoh Teon Lay Memorial, owner of the YTL Corp. He was originated from Kinmen. I also went for a visit to the Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor factory. Did you know that Kaoliang Liqour contained 58% of alcohol? No, I don't drink in case if you are wondering, it was just a working visit.

I didn't get to visit any interesting place in Tainan because it was a very brief visit.

In Kaohsiung however, I stayed in E-Da World. It's almost like Genting Highland. They have a theme park, shopping mall, hotels and even a university. I also went to the night market at the city centre.

Well, I didn't get to see that much of Taiwan but it was an interesting experience for me. I'm going to go for a holiday with my friends this weekend. Can't wait to go! Wait for the updates ok!

XOXO :P
