My First Animation

Pam Pa Da Pam

Time to visit Hong Kong again (or now, if you haven't been there), Hong Kong Tourism Board want to promote their exiting event a Dragon Boat Festival by..........giving us free game for iPhone/iPod. The purpose of this game is for everyone who want to know more about the event, there's a short video too. But the one that really lure me in is the game gave me a feeling what it's like to actually be involved in it. The application need about 4 minute to downloaded on my iPhone, when I click on it there's a picture of Festive Hong Kong 2010 followed by a loud sounds/music, so please turn the volume down before you play them except you want to get extra attention from those surround you.

There's for icon to be click, Start Game, How To Play, Ranking, Learn More.
In the Learn More:
1. Dragon Boat Festival
There's an explanation about the history, background and details about the festival, this year festival is on 23-25 July 2010 at the Harbour near Tsim Sha Tsui East.
2. Video For the Festival
The video itself is very colorful and attractive, not just showing the boat race, but the happiness and joy everyone involved. It also showed the food that usually available during the festival (rice dumpling and the making of it).

How To Play
In here they taught you how to play, you can choose 3 music and 2 set of difficulties....I'm getting excited already.

Ranking
Still empty now and divided into 3 music and 2 set of difficulty, so I guess each music bring their own rhythm and speed.

Start Game
The Easy stage with music 1 is easy, I won (that definitely show that it is easy).


Overall after playing it for more than 30 minutes, I like this game, why?
1. Good Chinese music background
2. Very easy to play, I don't say I've conquered the game, but it is easy to play
3. It attract children just by the sound and animation
4. Those fiery eyes. You know you got it right when you see your players got those fiery eyes
5. Try the difficult stage, it is much more exciting :)

and if you see 'beebob' on the ranking page....that's me. I'm already so glimmering happy just by playing the game, I'm really curious how is the actual feeling on the spot....

What we love and NOT about them

I like the fact that I know every scoop of their ice cream are from fair trade products, they care enough for their customer so the ingredients used are a safe-to-eat and taste really good and yummy. I also like since they have so many unique flavors and name too, like Cherry Garcia, Turtle Soup and many more :)

I love how they like to treat customer with free cone day, discount, promo and contest. It's just too bad the contest sometime aren't that well organized with the local. Like when I want to redeem my rewards, the staff on the spot are clueless about the reward system from the contest and always ended up on my side are disappointment, have to wait more than 30 minutes just for the staff to check to their boss over the phone, and rejected. I hate going down to the south (the only branch we can redeemed) just to be rejected. Waste an hour of ride. I just hope next year the promoter have better coordination, even thou' I will not join anymore, enough with the bad experience.

Nevertheless I will still like consume Ben and Jerry wonderful ice cream like the New York Fudge. SO good!

Ben & Jerry's

Ben and Jerry is having their contest called A Cookie Affair. Check out their website for details. Last year they also have a contest involving customer (or anyone) to create new flavor, very interesting and may I say better that voting contest since Ben and Jerry themselves that choose the winner.

In this contest participant have to make a video (3 max), uploaded in their site, then after being picked as finalist they can ask friends, families, imaginary friends for a vote.

Redken

I got them for free and really enjoy the products. The problem of my hair is in the scalp that often oily (after all I am living in a very humid land). So I need a product that can penetrate and oversee that. This is one of my favorite shampoo, Redken Hair Advance Scalp Revive. It can refresh, rejuvenate, and have that tingling sensation that notify me of the working ingredients inside it.

I do feel my scalp is free-er from oiliness and can breathe again. Less oily and more growth. I also use the 'tonic' and I must say the applicator is really clever. I can sprayed it on the area needed and right through it. I love the fresh scent and the freshness it create on my scalp. Some other product that I used create more oily and the alcohol sting a bit, but with Redken I found no such problem.

Salt Mineral Hair Conditioner

Since LUSH product are nowhere to be found in Singapore so when I found out SkinFood have this amazing conditioner I blast myself to the nearest store. So at Jurong Point branch, a very nice staff explain the whole thing for me. And when she's not even finish explaining I know this is the stuff I needed. My scalp is oily and I hate how they easily turn limp, so when I used this product it gives the volume I want.

I use with the shampoo I already had in my home, then I apply a chunk of this wonderful thick gooey conditioner all over, yup, all over. Other conditioner are not allowed to touch the scalp while this one not just can but help my problem from root to the end. I love how it makes my scalp clean and my hair lusciously clean but not dry and frizzy. The hair is surprisingly glowing and hydrated perfectly.

You can check out their website for more details. Someday I'll buy the Salt Mineral Hair Wash and I'll sure to love it too, so far every time I visit them they either out of stock or just not there.

1 jar of Salt Mineral Hair Conditioner can last about 2 weeks if used daily.

Follow Me

When it comes to daily shower I want that perfect, not over the top scent and cleanliness. Suitable for daily use and I found them, this Nature's Path from Follow Me is the best I can get on a very bargain price price. Comes in 4 scent Flora (above pic), Anti Bacterial (below pic), Honey Milk (yellow), and Botanical (green). I must say I love them all. But currently using the Anti Bacterial and can't get enough of it.

The liquid is milky and easy to lather on. Creating a very light foam that easy to spread all over, doesn't leave any dry feeling nor stickiness afterward. Other anti bacterial shower foam I've tried create a very drying effect on my skin. I hate it. And other shower foam that claim to have moisturized effect leave a very sticky feeling and I dislike the smell too.

Nature's Path scent are fresh and feminine at the same time. I love how the scent linger but not overwhelming.

Fair Price sell each bottle for around 5$. 5$++ for normal price and less than 5$ for promotion.

Nobody told me about this or at least

not as I expected, usually things like this only make about 1 page, not even a full page on any maternity magazine. Well there's a lot of maternity magazine, like for parenting, mom and their babies, and so on, but no magazine ever expose about this problem, at least not so much.

I'm talking about Higroma colli and Hydrop fetalis, a condition where the fetus is having such abnormality that my gynae said the chance of survival only 2% (or less), while the other feto maternal specialist said the baby either die while still in the womb or during birth or the life won't last long. Nothing could have prepared me to hear those words.

Couple days ago I'm back to Singapore and back to my gynae, as she have predicted the worst have happen. My baby died about 2 weeks ago. I thought I was prepared for anything, but still tears broke down realizing that all hopes are now faded for me having this baby. On Thursday, I'm scheduled to have the baby removed. I don't know what will happen next. My emotions have been up and down, the sadness, the anger, all the why's and how come keep coming to my head, leaving me more devastated and exhausted.

I just hope I can get through all these and make it alright, and someday can look back with a smile.
