Fruity Puffy, Tea and Grapefruit Calpis @ Fruit Paradise

So we were walking past Fruit Paradise at Vivocity when a new creation, the Fruity Puffy, caught my eye. I never like cream puffs, especially when most have horrible hard shell, but somehow it brought to mind the cream puffs that Singapore Airlines offered to passengers as pacification when a flight in 2009 was being delayed for 2 hours, and anything related to travel and food is a happy memory for me. 

Well, the long weekend was also upon us and we weren't traveling out of the country and what better remedy for a sad thought than some sinful cake. 

Can't decide between a cake or a tart or a cream puff? Hey, have all 3! Why not have some peaches, some strawberries, blueberries, and jelly too?

Since there was only 1 cream puff, I divided it into 2, so that the boy and I could both have some. And I was sweet enough to make it more enticing for him.

He had a grapefruit calpis which was too milky for him and I had a pot of Fruit Paradise tea which was too bland for me. We'll just stick to their tarts the next time.

For some other varieties of tarts they serve, you may want to refer to my previous post.

Halloween Horror Nights @ Universal Studios Singapore (新加坡环球影城: 万圣节)

Since it's almost Halloween, I decided to post some pictures I took at last year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Singapore. Am still deciding if I should go again this year. It was fun.

Did a quick last minute paint job on my nails for the fun of it :)

There were many bloody/ghostly/scary characters wandering around the place and trying to creep visitors out. I have no idea why I screamed every time they rushed up to us. I think I over-psyched myself for the event.

There were a couple of photo spots and one of them was The Siamese Twins.

A Japanese ghost.

A mummy.

Other random fun bloody characters I can't identify.

He moves. Suddenly. Anyone keen to take a picture with him?

A psychic. I wouldn't want my fortune told by her.

This sexy lady in her abode was by far my favourite scene of the night.

Stitch's voodoo toy - I insist - looking like a rooster.

Rusty supermarket trolleys and piles of garbage set the atmosphere.

It's not everyday that you get to drink blood so why not?

My courage and sensibility somehow deserted me that night, and although I was looking forward to The Vengeance of the Matriach horror house, I backed out when we reached the front of the queue. I was still really keen though, especially after seeing how beautifully atmospheric they made the courtyard out to be, with a man in Peranakan garb holding an oiled paper umbrella and strolling solemly up and down the courtyard in the misty night.

I took 10 minutes to muster whatever bit of courage I had, with the encouragement of the staff, to finally go in. It turned out to be less scary than I imagined it to be, mainly because I had actually read a visitor's review of the journey prior, and knew where to expect all the scares. Still.

Jill Stuart Berry Scrub N

The Jill Stuart Berry Scrub N comes in a 100ml clear tube with a silver screw top cap. A translucent orange-colored gel with specks of darker-colored abrasives, this provides very gentle exfoliation. It heats up upon rubbing, but like most similar products, the heat lasts for a mere 3 seconds, which probably does not benefit the skin in any way. 

I like the fact that this scrub is fragranced, but a pet peeve of mine which happens with this scrub as well, is that it doesn't foam. Hence, I have to either wash my face with the Jill Stuart Cream Face Wash before using this scrub, or to save time, mix them in a ration of 1:1, which of course, brings the already mild exfoliating action down to almost nil.
