ZOUK Flea Market

30 March 2008

Thought I'll check it out.

Waiting to get in - opens at 2pm.


This is on the lower level. It's not so crowded at this moment cos it's just opened.


Rosalind from 'Gals Out Loud' had a stand there selling her own used clothes, belts and bags. And Andrea Forseka, the 'Deal or No Deal' gal was there too. They were very friendly and readily obliged with a photo.



Ha ha, Hubby bought a pair of nice canvas sneakers from Chen Han Wei!(for those not in the know, Chen Han Wei is an actor on the Chinese Channel). It was $30, but Chen Han Wei gave him a discount and sold it to him for $20.00.
Hubby also bought 2 caps from another vendor for just $1.00 each! - it's new and good quality too.

I managed to get this 'BLUMARINE' made in Italy, pure silk top for just $18.00! Would have loved to go thru all the stands again, but it was so jam pack - it was really, really crowded.

I will definitely be going for the next Zouk Flea Market again which I heard will be in 3 months' time.

The vendors are all mostly youngsters - but very trendy youngsters and the stuff they have are more fashionable and trendy than most of the flea markets where the clothings are a bit 'auntie'.

And also, there are quite a few high-end brands too - I saw a Cacharel top and also a beautiful pink suede DKNY bag at 50% off - if you really look, you can find some good buys.

It's really so crowded, I could hardly move! - but I'll be back!

Spa Treats at Laguna Golf n Country Club

22 March 2008

Got a spa treat from my fren J. Went with her and her mom to the Lagunita Spa at the Laguna National Golf and Country Club.

It was 4 hours of bliss. The decor's very balinese and you don't feel like you're in Singapore. I had the marine soak, volcanic rub, full body massage and hair spa while J and her mom had the same soak, rub, massage but a facial instead.

J had a male masseuse as her mom decided to join in for the spa last minute and the spa's ladies' were all fully booked - unfortunately he does not look like Edisen Chen :( (and for those thinking...., my masseuse is female, ok).

I had a suite all by myself, this is where I had the outdoor soak in the bathtub....wah, so siok...... before I went indoor for my other treatments.



This is the couple suite which J and her mom occupied. They soaked in that huge tub.






J and her mom stepped outside their suite to another adjoining balinese hut for their facials.


We will be going again next month to try out their other spa packages.

Glominerals workshop at The Tanglin Club

28 February 2008

Attended a talk on this product called Glominerals - a mineral based make-up.

Make-up is made using natural products which are better on our skin - it does not have talc in it which clogs up our pores.

This product is from the USA and of cos, it is cheaper to buy in US - at least half the price. Hmm.....must ask my pilot fren if he's flying to the US anytime soon so that he can buy it for me.

Great tea-time buffet included.



Demonstration on the make-up techniques.
