I've adopted a kitty!



We actually didn't have any intention to adopt a pet so soon because of my medical condition. We were also unsure if having pets are safe for me then, but somehow we found our way to SPCA and somehow met this poor little bugger hiding in a corner of her cage, which was also hidden away at the lower corner of the adoption area. We were really just there to see kitties since we were around the area, but hey hey, how can you resist a babygirl opening up to you and let you carry her when the caregiver mentioned she is a super anti-social kitty that gives no hoot about anybody else?

So ye, with those alluring blue eyes, I was sold. Kimmy signed the adoption papers without second thoughts, we didn't even know what we were getting ourselves into, LOL. Our place wasn't even ready then, and we didn't have the windows meshed. God, the carpentry and stuff were not even 100% fixed! Arrival of Mumu kinda pushed our lazy ass into finally shifting to our new place and get things moving though. I must say, she is the best decision I've ever made.

I never knew how stagnant life would get after discharge. I am really just playing the waiting game right now. Waiting for AOSD to finally go into remission before I can rebuild my life again. All I could do these days is really just sleep, eat, find entertainment, repeat. Forcing a quick recovery is really just gonna backfire and push me back to where I started. Learnt that the hard way with my recent relapse. Having Mumu around really made life less depressing.

Here's a frightened Mumu on her first day when we brought her home. She was so skinny(Extremely small for a 3 years old :() and her skin condition was so terrible, it was really sore and painful to touch. She kept crying, and wouldn't let us leave her sight for even a second. She would grab onto us or follow us everywhere we go in the house for the first few days.


She also sleeps with us at night, but more independent now that we've gotten her a hammock, hahahaha. She loves her kitty hammock more than our bed.


And here's Mumu, 1 month since we brought her home. All adjusted and cozied up in our space. Skin condition is improving, hope her fur grows out all nice soon, hehe.

We had already pushed back the "move in" date for a month over due to me being hospitalized and all, so to not delay any longer, I held a mini housewarming for my family last weekend before the Hungry Ghost month hits! We were very lucky to be able to try out On & On Diner's latest National Day Mini Buffet Menu, specially crafted to celebrate the nation's birthday for my housewarming! Eternally grateful because ordering with them was fuss free and I really didn't need to worry too much except to think of what I wanna serve my guests for the day, hahahahaha.


If you don't already know, On & On Diners is a halal catering company with a total of 10 years of service experience. They started out in 2009 with an emphasis on catering food that is prepared with quality ingredients and healthier oils. Coupled with traditional local recipes, they whip up unique dishes for special events, giving their customers a different kinda spin.

Food arrived 15 minutes before the event started, nicely packed and warm in a huge thermal bag which you can keep after. We were given personal sets of cutleries as well as serving spoons for each dish! Everything well thought out of. I ordered the amount for 20 pax, and was super worried about leftovers because the food really seemed too much for 20 people. To my surprise, most of the dishes were wiped, and my family were all fed and satisfied!


My favorite was the Braised Beehoon, Buttery Salted Egg Yolk Fish and Lamb Rendang! That's also because I am to avoid seafood for now, so I didn't have much of the rest of the dishes. But I ordered anyway because who doesn't love seafood! It actually took me 3 days to decide what to order because their selections look so good, I am spoilt for choice.

And I really really really wanted the Belachan Fried Rice and Laksa Lemak Goreng but............ :'(


I didn't manage to take photos of the food because they started when I was away...... :'(
Saddest part was the whole tub of Honeydew Sago finished in just a span of 30 - 45 minutes after everyone was done with the main dishes when I was with other guests. I only got a small bowl for myself, sobs. Honeydew Sago is my favorite luuhhhhhhh!
But here's a few shots from my Instagram story before everyone arrived!



It's not a common sight to see minimal leftovers! Trust me when I say they were asking for more, haha. Oh! I also ordered myself a pot of Mala Xiang Guo, hahahaha! Craving satisfied with all dem spices right there. A pity my family are not exactly fans of spicy food, so I've had them all to myself, baha. Kimmy's favorite was the Lamb Rendang, he even dipped his Fried Ebi in the Rendang sauce instead of the given wasabi sauce,

My mouth is watering just at the thought of this amazing spread we had last weekend. Food is a really touchy topic for me right now. Due to my medication, there are a lot of things I have to avoid, and most of it are my favorite food. I get really upset and annoyed whenever I am told something I love is out of the list of things I can eat, sigh. Hence opting for healthier choices and quality ingredient became a part of my lifestyle these days. I am blessed to have On & On Diners catering for my housewarming, because they actually have food that I can eat, mehehehehe.

National Day is almost here, if you are looking to prep up your gatherings, why not try out On & On Diners' exclusive National Day Mini Buffet Menu? They also have other menus for you to chose from!

So what VitaRealm's Skin Perfecting Essence does is it contains acerola cherry that helps to balance sebum production, brighten and even out skin tone. It also contains 2,000mg of collagen peptides to improve skin elasticity and boost hydration for plumper, smoother looking skin. Achieve smooth, balanced and radiant skin with just a bottle a day!


Comes in small little bottles like these that looks like power booster, enough to finish up in just one mouth. I have to admit, the taste is pretty addictive, but do not drink more than one bottle per day, hahaha. And yes, it's best served cold! Reminds me of nice old f&n cherry, nhmmm.....

I tried out 16 bottles myself, drinking a bottle a day every morning when I wake up, after I brush my teeth. Of course the best time to drink it is right before you sleep, because your skin goes through the most regeneration and repair when you are asleep. I did not actually experience any major difference, but I did find my skin becoming more hydrated and firm. There were lesser outbreaks as well, and blemishes were starting to clear. My skin also feels much smoother/clearer than before!

Got my lashes done at Perky Lash last weekend and I've got to say I love it, so, so much. This isn't my first time getting eyelash extensions but it is my first time trying out laser processed lashes, and also it's been a while since I got to doll up because I was hospitalized and all.. my last lash extensions was during my solemnization back in September, omg. So I was pretty stoked when I went over to get my lash done, mehehehe.


I chose to do Natural Featherlite Lashes so I don't have to put on make-up or anything to pull it off. Angel, my artist of the day gave me C-curls, with a mixture of 10mm ~ 11mm single lash.


I left my lash design entirely to her, letting her decide what suits me better. I was initially super worried because due to my medication side effects, I wasn't sure if I am even suitable to be doing all these treatments so quickly. (Medicinal steroid weakens your immune system, so I have to be really careful not to get bacteria/viral infection until my dose is cut to a safe range.) But all tools used at Perky Lash are sanitised before and after the treatment to ensure the hygiene standards. Their products are also FDA approved, so it's really gentle and safe even for people with sensitive eyes, lucky me!

Angel was extremely gentle the entire time I actually dozed off and had a really good nap. There was no feeling at all it's as if she wasn't doing my lash, and when I woke up, she was almost done, LOL. Angel's really friendly and adorable, hahaha. We had a really good chat after that while she continued on to complete my lashes.

Perky Lash uses Laser Processed Lashes which would last 25% longer than non-laser processed ones. Their lashes are also super duper light, it's practical weightless. It felt like there was nothing at all! Which is also why I was super surprised when I woke up and felt like there was nothing on my lids but Angel said we were almost done, hahaha.

At the end of every session, they used a special bonding serum to seal the glue so that the lashes last longer! 1 week into the extensions, and still looking as good as new!

Anyway, I went for my 2nd review today! No consultation, just a blood test to see if my potassium count dropped. Last week I had my first medical review with my doc to check if I am adjusting well to the new medication. To my horror, my potassium count was waaaayyyy above average and I had to go on a strict low-potassium diet to see if it was the meds that caused the problem, or was it my diet. And guess what. Just the day before, I basically ate pure potassium meals for the entire day!!

Broccoli, potato, lady finger, oats, tomatoes, kiwi, yadah-yadah, hahahahaha.

I didn't even know. And they are all my favorite food(?!) So I was barred from having too much of my favorite stuff until they find out whether it was the meds or my diet. I swear to god, it was a torture. I had to avoid my potatoes and broccoli, but whatever I can think of whenever it's lunch/dinner time are potato and broccoli.......

So.... I was given potassium suppressers and took another 3 weeks worth of medication until my next consultation. But well. I SURVIVED!!

And my blood test turned out good this time! Potassium count is stable, and I can finally have my pooootaaaatoeeeessss!! That aside, inflammation has also gone down, liver is showing pretty good signs. Doc is looking to cut my prednisolone dosage in 4 weeks time, then I can finally get out of 50mg/day dose! The high dose steroid's side effects are catching up real fast, it really scares me. I am starting to put on weight on my cheeks, and my wounds are starting to heal reeeeeally slowly... skin's thinning and peeling real bad too. If this continues I think I'mma become a south african rain frog in no time. XD

Of course, side effects will cease along with the decrease of prednisolone dosage. Just 4 more weeks to go, and I can start tapering! I can't wait! Alrighty, that's all for now. 3 weeks to next appointment, hope I can start tapering a week earlier instead, and start getting life back on track once again. I'm so sick of being unproductive, :(

Was gifted with a pair of Sudio Wireless Bluetooth earpiece some time back for review and I must say I couldn't have loved it more. What I usually look for in earphones is the sound quality, comfort and then the aesthetics. I must be lying if aesthetics doesn't matter. I once spent 60 euros just on a Swarovski ear phone jacket for my iPhone 4S earpiece, HAHAHHAHAHA #iwasmad

Introducing the successor of Sudio Nivå Bluetooth Headphones, Sudio Tolv!


Hone as the True Wireless Headphones, the Sudio Tolv is a major upgrade from it's predecessor. It now hold 7 hours battery life, as well as 4 extra charges up to 35 hours standby life on it's portable charging case for your earbuds. So you don't have to worry about it's battery life anymore because it can actually last a reeeeally long time.


Tolv also features a new graphene driver this time round, giving you top notch and clear sound quality at all times. This I'd really have to commend. Tolv is amazing for an entry level earphones! Of course, if you are an audiophile looking for professional earpiece that allows you to pick out slight change of tune in your instruments, this isn't for you.

Pairing of the earphones is also now so much less of a hassle because it automatically pairs with your phone! No more holding of buttons or whatsoever and waiting for it to search and pair.

One major upgrade from their predecessor that I really love about Tolv is how it no longer just play the audio on one side of the earphone when I am using mic anymore. Because they now have microphones on both sides of the earbuds! It felt so weird having just one on the Sudio Nivå. Now I can hear my friends loud and clear while playing ml, hahahahahah.


Like the Sudio Nivå, Sudio Tolv features a single multipurpose button on each earbud to control your music and phone calls. Because it’s a single button, there are quite a bit of secret tapping going on. The controls may take quite a bit of getting used to.

Single Tap: Play/Pause
Double Tap Left: Previous Track
Double Tap Right: Next Track
Triple Tap Left: Reduce Volume
Triple Tap Right: Increase Volume

The Sudio Tolv has a redesigned portable charging case with matte rubber finishing. Comes in 5 different colors, these babies are deffo a die for.


With all these new upgrades in sight, Sudio Tolv is definitely living up to its name of being the True Wireless Headphones. You can purchase the latest Sudio Tolv here at their website and enjoy free shipping worldwide for your purchase!

Sudio also has Summer Promotion going on right now:
