Hello readers!!! I'm officially married and pronounced as Mrs Hwang HAHHAHA like finally after 10+ years later. Both Abel and I knew for sure what we wanted as a couple in life and thus we are slowly working towards it. After dating for over 10 years, we knew that it's time to move on to the next phase in life (being 30 this year... as the real real old adult...) 

Honestly, I know I rarely update this space anymore but I still keep this domain close to my heart as it's almost like my precious memory storage space.. - scrolling back to as early as 2011/2012 lol. so I'm just gonna update as and when I'm less busy with work and life :)

Today I'm gonna share my experience on buying/shopping for my 4 Dian Jing + Guo Da Li. I'm no expert at all and every girl experienced just once in their life-time, so me too! My experience was a simple and happy one. I felt blessed during the process and I'm also glad that everything went smoothly for both me and Abel (as well as our families).

So here we go~ 

We did went to Fengshui Master to "Suan" the auspicious date and timing for our actual Guo Da Li day which was around 1.5 month-ish before our actual wedding date.

Other than settling the standard Guo Da Li stuffs from those typical Chinese Guo Da Li stores that sells all kind of Guo Da Li required items, the next thing important is to shop for 4 Dian Jing.

So what is 4 Dian Jing (四点金) ?

In short, 4 Dian Jing comprises typically of a necklace, bangle/bracelet, ring and a pair of earrings made from real Gold. (It can be 916 or 999 Gold). It is a gift given by groom's mom (mother-in-law) down to the bride as a blessing and for welcoming the bride into the family officially. It could be brand new pieces of Gold or it could also be passed on from one generation to the next. This is the Chinese Wedding Tradition that most Singaporean Chinese follows. So did I haha.

For my case, Abel's mom asked me to get myself new pieces of Gold for my 4 Dian Jing, and I obliged!

There are many Gold shops in Singapore and I was recommended by one of my closest friend to get it from Taka Jewellery/ or from their sister brand: TopCash Jewellery!!

They have options of both 916 and 999 Gold depending on your budget & personally preferences. Value of gold jewelry depends on the amount of gold used, the weight, as well as the pattern/design of the jewelry (workmanship).

I picked 999 Gold in the end because firstly, I knew I will be keeping/treasuring these Gold jewelry with me till the very end, which also means I wouldn't be wearing them out often - One important thing to note for 999 Gold! Since 999 is the purest form of gold - meaning it contains 99.9% gold, it it highly malleable in it's purest form as compared to 916 Gold (which contains 91.6% Gold). Also, I really loved the designs under 999 Gold!!

It's all about personal preferences. Most of my girlfriends picked 916 Gold as their 4 Dian Jings. :)

I do also have a hard time deciding on the Gold ring design that I love!

This is pretty cute though but it seems abit fragile to me (in my opinion, because I'm very careless in handling stuffs)

Oh I wanted this initially because it's matchy matchy with Abel's abacus gold ring haha

But this is the winner!!!:

Yes I love this the moment I put it on! I can feel it's volume and the design is very sleek as well. :)

Love love love this! I would wear this out often to be honest hehe! 

SOOOO I'm done picking out my 999 Gold 4 Dian Jing (within 45 mins hahhaha)

With black base, so the Gold looks more obvious on photos.

Bling bling no filter!! My butterfly earrings and necklace are so shiny~ hah

Hi all!!! It's been awhile and my life has been nothing but super busy :(

I knew how Profhilo works already because I accompanied my Mom throughout the treatment previously. Dr Gerard Ee did her profhilo but because Dr Ee was not in Singapore that week, I saw Dr Chow Yuen Ho instead.

For those who are not familiar with Profhilo and how it works, here's a summary:

The innovation of Profhilo® contains no additional chemical stabilizers were used. It is a 100% pure HA-based product that effectively combats aging and sagging skin. The HA complexes can directly provide volume and structure to the face, reducing sagging.

At the waiting area, waiting for my numbing cream to sit in.

Let's start the procedure! Dr Chow is marking the 5 injection points on each side of my face.

I know it looks scary! And yes, even with numbing cream there's still pain but the procedure is really really quick. like 5 minutes per side. 10 minutes in total!

I'm really thankful to Dr Chow. He is extremely experienced and his hands are stable. He injected swiftly and accurately to each point and I'm turn in no time!

HAHA I look kind of scary right after the injection. No fret, it's normal!

It looks like bee-stings I know HAHAHAH. I got a shock initially as well and the "bee-stings" are so well balanced on each side of my face HAHA. But thank god for mask right now, I can go home right after the treatment without looking weird since the injections are at the lower part of my face (fully covered by the mask)!

Anyway, the best thing is that they actually subside the next day after waking up from bed.

The downtime is so fast! It's as if I did not do any injections at all, I went out the very next day with makeup and no one even question me about it. Amazing~ :) 

If you have dinner plans, I'd suggest you to make the earliest appointment with Clifford Clinic for the Profhilo injection, so the injections can subside just in time for the night.

Effect will be seen after 1 month, so I waited patiently for 1 month and here's the end result:

Yes, the result is subtle, but I genuinely feel my face is much more hydrated, brighter and firmer!

Especially when this picture was taken when I was in Thailand Bangkok - the weather is so bad for my skin.

Here's another one without edit or filter. When I zoom into the picture, I realised my complexion is brighter (a little glow-y!) and generally more youthful after doing Profhilo!

So grateful for the bridal glow!

Lack of collagen can lead to dry skin, enlarged pores, sagging skin, wrinkles, and many other unwanted skin problems. The frozen age is what every woman wants~ Yea I know I know!

I’m definitely experiencing aging myself and I have been searching a product that suits my skin type and actually works for my age. There are many new products out there to explore and try and I so by chance come across this product that I love so much and I’m going to introduce to you guys ^^ cause good thing must share they say haha~

I would like to introduce you my new skin regime using Happy Birthday Skincare’s Time Essence + Time Machine powerful combo! My new found holy grail!!!

It’s as if turning back the hands of time to grant me a more youthful appearance every day! Hahah!

Happy Birthday's Anti-Aging Whitening Time Essence contains five active ingredients - Swiss Apple Stem Cells, Superoxide Dismutase, Acetyl Hexapeptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide, Sodium Hyaluronate. These ingredients had the functions of reversing aging, increasing skin collagen, hydration, firming and lifting, promoting skin metabolism and maintenance, and can effectively reduce wrinkles/fine lines, including the neck.

To enjoy optimal results with Time Essence, use it with Happy Birthday’s Time Machine which uses gentle LED pulsed light therapy. 

Charging this powerful device for 4 hours before officially using it!

• Red LED diminishes signs of ageing and boosts self-repair.

• Green LED evens out skin tones, brightens dull complexions and softens dark spots.

• Blue LED stabilizes overactive oil production and prevents breakouts.

My favourite is the Red & Green LED light as it combats signs of ageing and is able to obtain a lifted V-Shaped face naturally! I can see the radiance of skin instantly; it works just like magic! Glide the device over your face in an upward motion to firm up your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Follow these steps for 10 minutes to achieve a remarkable improvement rejuvenated, lifted, and healthier skin!

Firstly, drip the Time Essence to the face directly. One drop per side, apply gently and evenly across your face.

Next, turn on the Time Machine, choosing the LED light based on your skin condition:

-Blue: Suppress acne, purify skin, shrink pores, improve oily and sensitive skin and activate skin

-Red: helps to penetrate Time Essence deep to the bottom of the skin which improves skin dullness, diminishes the look of fine lines & wrinkles, revitalizes skin, and eliminates signs of aging

-Green: Soothes skin, firmness, brightening and evens out skin tone, restores radiance to a dull complexion and fades dark spots like dark-eye cycle & eye puffiness

Apply upward motion, from low to top, from inner to outer of cheek, forehead, jawline area.

Once you are done after 10 minutes, proceed to apply your choice of moisturiser, sunblock & makeup J

It’s this easy and therapeutic! You will definitely see a difference after this 10minutes regime and do continue using it for a longer period of time to see the full effect.

After using for 2 weeks, my personal results includes a more lifted, brightened skin tone, minimized fine lines & laughing lines,  and it's also moisturising at the same time, which is important!

I feel like a mature lady taking great care of my skin health every time!
