beauty time : let's hydrate!
love facial masks. they actually do help. believe me as some yielded the results as promised. today i tried the bbe algae soft mask from it's herbal soft mask range. it is actually in powder form and you have to mix with water into a paste of you prefered consistency before applying. didnt noticed any scents but perhaps my nose is not sensitive enough to pick the scent. it's pretty easy to mix the paste as it disolved easily. i used my fingers to mix it and applied onto my cleansed face. application was easy too but i think i have used too much powder. i think it's quite economical too as i've only used 1/4 of the pack and i had some more paste even after covering my face. and i do have quite a large face :)
after 5 mins after application, i can feel my face getting cooler. i had some tingling sensations after around 10 mins. i felt my face tightening a little and a little itchy after about 13-15 mins. after about 25 mins, i lost my patience and decided to peel the mask off.
removing the mask especially those feel off ones is my fave part. but it didnt went that well. removal of the mask was a really messy affair. the mask was flaking at the corner of the mask while the middle was smooth. i didnt managed to "remove the whole mould" as per instructed (which got me excited when i read it). it cracked, tore or stuck all over. perhaps the paste was too thick? i can actually see my pores' marks on the bigger pieces which i think if good as it cleaned them. luckily i managed to remove the mask residues after rinsing my face with water and using a small towel to lightly scrub the more stubborn pieces.
the after effect was pretty nice. my skin felt supple and smooth. i think my pores looked less defined and face more radiant and fair. maybe the deep oil cleansing before the mask application helped to achieve this too but this algae soft mask did hydrate my skin after all.

don't strike shogun out yet...
i've been getting feedbacks from friends, blogs, etc that shogun standard has decreased in terms of food, service, cleanliness, etc. and rightly so as it gave me that impression when I had my b-day bash there which was nearly a year ago. *hint *hint

however, my craving for japanese food and plans to bring mom for a good makan compelled me to give shogun another try. and hee-hoo! how i enjoyed the lunch! their waiters were very attentive : taking away the empty plates promptly (most did ask us b4 taking them away) and making sure our ocha cups are always filled to the brim). food was good as well. it was so much better compared to my previous dinners there. i love the melt-in-the-mouth grilled salmon, aromatic garlicky cheese-baked escargot and crunchy baby crabs best. they had great choices of thirst-quenching drinks too. however... they should improve vastly on the dessert section especially the cakes...

happy 3-1 fong!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FONG!
fong and myself had a great dinner @ hanwoori in taipan. we had a enjoyable time chatting and filling our stomachs. ah. i managed to order the rice cake dish (ddukboki) i love so much but had to fore go the fried squid as it is pretty expensive and i guess we can't finish it too. the soju was ok but it taste a little like kerosene ... ahha not that i tasted kerosene before... the bbq meat was lovely and i like the smoke "sucker" so you wont smell like on walking piece of smoked meat. the side dishes were quite appetising. we were also given each a bowl of bean paste soup. they also serve free dessert which i found very amusing as they just offered like 2 thin pieces of watermelon. i guess there were only 2 of us but i mean they should make it 4 pieces to look good, rite? however, the refreshing ice cold barley with red date drink served in a bowl was good and a nice way to cap the dinner.
their service were good and prompt. periodically they would come up to ask whether we want to top up the side dish or soup and ask whether we need anything else. (probably we were practically the only customers there). i like their attentiveness as the previous korean restaurants i went, they were quite stingy in replenishing the side dishes. we had to order them to do so. 4 stars out of five. i would have given 5 stars but i had to top up my tea myself.
