Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Oil Free

Four simple steps to the flawless face. By Laura Mercier.

Step 1: Prime the skin.

Primer is used before applying foundation. The purposes are to create the smooth base of skin, a perfect canvas for make up application. As a result, make up will last longer throughout the day.

Step 2: Foundation.

A good foundation should cover the impurities of the face such as blemishes or big pores, but at the same time, create look as natural as possible. Remember to apply foundation around neck area also to avoid a *mask* look.

Step 3: Conceal.

As per name, its to conceal the impurities such as blemishes, big pores, and dark circle. Complete coverage. 

Step 4: Powder.

Last step, set with powder. Use kabuki brush to apply powder (especially mineral powder) for better coverage. Compact powder only to touch up make up throughout the day.

Okie, let's talk about the foundation right now.

Wisdom Tooth

Today, is the day that I have to say good bye to my wisdom tooth. In Bahasa, is called as Gigi Geraham Bungsu.


Wisdom tooth usually appear between 17 to 25 years old. It's the last teeth to come through, just right at the back of gum line. Most adult normally have wisdom tooth. Some of them will experience discomfort because the tooth becomes impacted, growing out of the gum line, make the gum swollen, redness, or even worst, infection.


The symptoms are sore gum, severe ulcer, constant pain at the back of the mouth just right behind molars, jaw pain when you open your mouth/ eat/ speak, headache, and earache.



The Dentist Terror.

Having these above symptoms awaken me that I do really have an impacted wisdom tooth growing in my gum. After a quick search of Google, I decided to visit dentist AT ONCE.

I decided to book an appointment with Q & M Dental Surgery @ Hougang Mall. After consultation, my dentist confirmed that this wisdom tooth is an impacted tooth, growing backward (that is why my gum sore and pain), and need to be removed immediately. If its not removed, it will prolong my suffering, as it will be continue to swell and sore, the worst, gum-infection.

Without having a second thoughts, I do consent for tooth-extraction. Then my dentist explained the process of tooth-extraction. He will at first, perform x-ray to see the position of the root, then inject both side of gum with anaesthetic. Once anaesthetic kicked in, he will perform the extraction. There is a chance of tooth might be cracked or chipped during extraction process. If this happens, we have to go for minor surgery.

Thank God, the tooth extraction is a complete success. My wisdom tooth completely removed without cracked/ chipped scenarios. All entire process cost me 150 bucks.

Wisdom tooth cost me $150

After- Care: Right after extraction, I cannot eat/ speak fluently for an hour, until the bleeding stop completely. I've been taking pain-killer to reduce the pain.
These few days, I have to be extra care, extra gentle, when doing teething-activity. Brush, rinse, and eating soft foods. Until the gum healing completely.

Ps: I hope by extracting out my wisdom tooth, I can be more wisdom!?

Marutama Ramen at The Central

Today, as a celebration of my bonus and increment *soon...ahem ahem...*  Me and Melisa went out to Marutama Ramen for a lunchie....

Marutama Ramen is located at The Central @ Clarke Quay, third floor. Look out for a ramen shop which has basketball-with-a-mole- sign.
The ambience is very traditional Japan-style. Even the cooker is a Japanese. There is a menu-board which caught my eyes...

Menu- board in Japanese....beer for $7 so expensive!?

Their service is the best. The waiters always look busy serving the customers here and there. They even shout to the chefs for menu ordering. Our food came just a few minutes after we ordered. Very good service! 

 Aka Ramen $ 15, add Tamago $ 1.50

The noodle ( I think) is just a normal noodle but it very smooth and tender.
The soup is superb! The soup base is oily and rich. I think I can ask for more noodle, please....

Gyoza $ 5

The gyoza is so so....I don't really like it...I think they should put more meat rather than veggie. I'm a meat eater  :-D

Overall is good. I'll surely come back to patronize this shop again. High recommended!
