"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded because all the elements-the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and life-weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today."

Biore Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover

I'm a MASCARA JUNKIE. Which means that I'd been on a lifelong quest for the perfect eye make-up remover. And ever since I started using the mascaras from Majolica Majorca (mad love!), it seems almost mission impossible.

But now I'm glad to announce that I'd found it! Pressseeeenting .......... Biore Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover! I'm so thrilled with my find that I can't wait to share it with you all.

The best part? Just let the make-up dissolve then wash it off without the prior need to wipe it off with cotton wipe or tissues. That means no more tugging on the delicate skin around your eyes! I was seriously worried about the wrinkles that I'd been inflicting on myself, what with my vigorous attempts to remove my make-up. Brilliant!

And no, not a single cent was paid to me for this post =)

Just the way you are

National Dog Walk 2010

How many of you were at the National Dog Walk on the 5th? Such a pity that it was raining, wasn't it? It'd have been a lot more fun if it wasn't quite so muddy.

Meg was so looking forward to the event. She was even more thrilled than Pillow when the weekend finally arrived (assuming Pillow knows what's going on :p).

Belinda with the help of Zanda brought her 4 furkids along too! OMG ...... I have no idea how she manages with 4 yelpy chihuahuas.

Gorgeous gorgeous dogs! ♥♥♥

All the dogs get to enjoy a slice of the birthday cake

None of our dogs ate the cake with the exception of Pillow. Junk food queen like her mistress?

We adjourned to the Dog Run @ West Coast Park after we left the event. Since Ling & Chelle were late, they joined us there with their precious instead.

The harness on Nike is mad chio!

The most well-behaved dog award goes to ....... Brownie!

LiLi & her baby

Shun had just bought a Nex-5 too. I like to think he was influenced after seeing the nice pics I took of them! Hahaha .......

Pillow enjoys a tummy rub more than anything else in the world

My precious babies!

Teochew porridge aka plain porridge nia lah

Extended the long holiday weekends by taking leave today but the unfortunate thing is that Meg's down with fever. So being a responsible mother, instead of the usual fast food home delivery or instant noodle, I decided to cook something to soothe my sick child's stomach - Teochew Porridge.

Meg nearly freaked out when I told her I wanted to cook porridge. "You KNOW how to cook porridge??!" Meg exclaimed a tad bit too suspiciously. Come on! Who doesn't know how to cook plain porridge? :p

Errr ..... in the end, I burnt it due to my enthusiastic Facebooking! *shamedface* (Thank god the part time help is here today or I'd have to scrub that super black pot.)

Side dishes? - No problemo. Everything came out of a can :p Hahaha ......... I'm such a wonderful mum!

Would have preferred it a bit more watery but it beats being burned (recooked in a new pot btw :p)

I dunno if any of you had tried this before but I love this - some sort of marinated minced pork

All-time ♥ - pickled lettuce

This - Megan loves!

A very simple meal but I grew up eating this. Meg & I both prefer this to any elaborate meal in a restaurant.
