EIJGNIY

I received a package from Candy Play last week!

You must be thinking, "what is that?"

This package is called Gummyland, from a japanese company, Kracie, that produces popin cookin!

With this kit, we can actually DIY our gummies with the stencils provided, sounds so fun!!! Can't wait to try it! :3

I've made a video of me making the gummies, most of my gummies failed because I'm just clumsy, but I had great fun! :) If you notice a change in the appearance of my hands midway, that's my boyfriend making the gummies haha! He was with me the whole time helping me video the process! I'm feeling very insecure about my own video, and editing is really dificult! I know the video is not very well done, but its my first one ya~

Here are the pictorial snap shot guides from the video for making your own gummies!

1) Open the package! These are what you will find inside.. (You might also need a pair of scissors and some water)

2) Prepare all the items! Cut out all the stencils; put the biggest packet of powder into the big rectangle space; fill up the 4 small rectangles with water up to the line and pour the 3 packets of powder  the separate rectangles; mix them well; create new colors by mixing the 3 primary colours!

3) Now, we can start making the gummies! Even out the white powder and press a stencil onto the powder tightly.

4) Drop by drop, color your gummy using the dropper with any colour of your choice. (NOTE: do not flood the stencil!)

5) Wait for a minute or two, then slowly lift the stencil out of the powder and you will get your gummy! :)

Basically, I made few decent gummies haha! Most of the nice ones are made by boyf, not me :( Here are some of the gummies left, I uncontrollably ate some when they're fresh hehe..

They taste good, really have the flavor :D

This DIY kit is really really fun! Although I'm bad at it, I really had fun! :) Its just so cool to be able to make your own sweets right! I believe everyone has eaten gummies before but how many people knows how to make them?

Fun: 10/10

Difficulty: 6/10

If you want to make your own gummies, you can get this DIY kit from CANDY PLAY! They sell many more kinds of popin cookin, you can go to their website to take a look!

Also, their staff are really friendly and prompt in replying emails! :)

Anyway, Candy Play IS TURNING ONE!

I'll be coming up with at least 2 more posts about popin cookin soon, do look out for them!

Hope you enjoyed this post and have as much fun as I had!

I spent a lot a lot of time doing up this post and video, and its finally done! *breathes*

Yay, opened a new pair of lenses and have been wearing them for a few weeks already!

This time round,  tried the classic geo nudy series that geo medical have been selling for very long time already! :)

In their original packaging~

Opened them out to soak them in normal solution for a while first before wearing! The lenses look a little similar to freshkon colour fusion sparklers series!

Look, me hax sexy smoky grey eyes now! :3 (normal lighting!)

Its 14.2mm, with a thin black limbal rim which is just right unlike the angel series! It also has a black ring around the pupils to make it more natural looking! :) This pair looks very pretty when worn! Super natural, and can do without make up, good for school hehe! It costed me less than $20, and can be worn for up to a year! What a good deal!

This nudy series actually have a special halo effect if you do not already know! This means that even if your eyes are are too small for the lenses (which is really rare) or when you move your eyeballs and the lenses are not in place, you won't look weird, but the effect is super pretty instead! For my photo, my eyes looked like they have a grey halo in them, see the side nearer to the inner corners of my eyes..

(Bright lighting!)

*both photos show my eyes okay, just that I took them on different days with different falsies on!

Comfort: 5/5  - super comfy!

Enlarging effect: 3/5 - 14.2mm only, but actually I'm okay with this diameter.

Design: 5/5 - natural yet visible + halo effect

Color: 3/5 - not very obvious under normal lighting!

I have a few more lenses waiting to be opened! Look out for more lens reviews!

Be prepared for a super wordy post!

I mentioned that I had been to OBS in the past week!

IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!! :(

Okay, I'm kind of an embarassment ot DHS girl guides here lol.

Did I mention that I hate camps before? Particularly this kind of camp, the outdoors and physically demanding and trekking kind of camp. I know I'm GL for 2 FOCs next academic year, but OBS is another kind of camp altogether. Okay, must give credit too, this is the bestest camp food I ever had for a camp!

If you don't know what is it, it is Outward Bound Singapore, and kind of popular for physically demanding camps lol. We had a briefing and I thought the camp will be less scary than the rumours as the person said that we, being university students, will be having a corporate camp rather than the usual youth camp.. So I went for it with little mental preparation..

Luckily for me, all the 4 people I know were in the same group as me! William, jiayi, annabelle and weikiang. If not I'd just die in the camp seriously! Super duper thankful to be in the same group as them, especially with boyf!!!

I didn't bring enough clothes, the packlist wasn't clear enough, ended up borrowing a long sleeved shirt and rewearing loads of tees. Especially for the trackpants, I wore them for all 3 days, like a disgusting lol!

Day 3: Trekked the same distance back at 4+am in the dark after being woken up in shock, kayaked round half of pulau ubin and through mangroves for almost 8 hours.

On the first day, 5-10 minutes into the boat ride, we were asked to change into our wet attire and jump into the sea to swim to pulau ubin LOL. I don't know how to estimate the distance, but I was really shocked and amused lol, despite being forewarned by yinchee haha! Thought it was a joke! In the end William got to drag me to the shore lol..

The amount of trekking done in the camp is really horrendous. Quite unprepared, we were only told about the expedition an hour plus before setting off to pack for it.. Got to bring out wet stuffs along, ponchos that are as thick as canvas sheets, a big backpack that weighs as much as the things I put inside, 4L of water, some random food, fresh clothes etc, super duper heavy please,  can't even sling my arms though the straps without help from W -.- Can't imagine how heavy the guys' bags are, with additional food, pots, mess tins, canvas sheets, tents, etc. The bag and ponchos stinks ttm please!! Anyway, tents became redundant, and wet , stuffs too, angry please, the wet stuff are probably the second heaviest compared to the bag!!!! Everyone thought we'd be kayaking back, ended up we got to wake up early in the morning the next day to trek back and kayak from the original campsite.

Kayaking was manageable, luckily I have 1 star lol! The instructor tried to separate W and me, pissed! I refused to budge!!!!!!!!!  Crash course was with W and weikiang, expedition was with W and reuben. Had good kayaking partners, nice people and all not bad at kayaking! Even the 8 hours expedition wasn't as tiring as I thought it would be, the only problem was the sun being mad hot especially near the end and the sea water that kept getting into my eyes and blurred my specs. It was damn cool to kayak through the mangrove, first time ever! Kept getting stuck in the mud during low tide lol, and there were fishes jumping around, too scary -.-

Now that I'm back, with sunburn on my scalp and face, black wrists and loads of different kinds of itchy patches on my legs, my phobia of camps have increase by 3 levels! -.- Really don't understand the need for such a physically challenging camp upon taking MIE :(

Glad that the camp ended anyway! And I guess no more such camps for me forever!!!!!!!!!!! I hope, at least. Really glad that W was with me throughout the camp, I don't know I mentioned this how many times already.

Sorry for this wordy post!

Lastly, a random photo with my groupmates at the end of the camp! I look like crap in all the camp photos, what a disgrace!

Yay today is a happy day! The only bad thing was that I look horrible in photos!!! :( So no camwhore shots today!!! :( All thanks to my screwed fringe and swollen eye and me plucking off my falsies! :(

Went to the Mandarin Gallery branch, first time having ippudo! :D Was afraid that we had to queue, so we had dinner at 4-ish LOL!

We act zen, order hot green tea to drink haha! But quite nice to drink after having a big bowl of flavorful ramen!

Design on the wall~

This is shiromaru tamago($17++)! The more classic one!

This is akamaru tamago($18++)! This is is much more flavorful and oily, might get a little sick of it near the end!

Hehehe cute!

Meeeeee, actually we ended up swopping bowls haha!

Happy boy with his food!

Ahhhh ippudo is super nice! The serving is quite big too,  almost can't finish my bowl.. Although I got sick of akamaru tamago near the end, I feel like eating it again now, too fast.. W finished his food really really quickly, means his is super nice too haha!

We both only ordered tamago(egg) add on, you can add on other types of pork, etc.. The tamago is yums!!! Its the type where the egg white is solid white the yolk is semi flowy still!!!!! ~.~ The pork they served with the noodle is really yums too, soft and nice and no weird or smelly taste! I hate normal cha siew and those served in ajisen's ramen, but I swear ippudo's is like mad nice and I love it!

After dinner we walked around and went to coldstone for ice cream!!!! :)

We ate Birthday cake remix! Its some cookie dough icecream with brownie, rainbow rice, and caramel & choc fudge mix in I think! Super nice :D Think I wanna try the oreo one next time!

Anyway, we did shop around today, H&M, topshop, editor's market and F21. Didn't buy much but I'm super happy with the few things I've gotten!

Used my H&M voucher from GC that I mentioned abou previously!

And I bought this! Topped up some money of course, super love this romper!! Cute ttm, so colorful haha!

Cute bows that I bought randomly!!! Love them! ^^

Lastly, I collected my geo lenses today! Ahhh finally new lenses again! :) Can't wait to wear them!

First manicure session after exams! :D

Having been doing this set of nails since like after dinner, because this design requires multiple layering and take loads of time to dry! Super love them now!

Gonna do a step by step picture guide below :D

What I used: Seche clear base coat, OPI Sweet memories, OPI Rumple's Wiggin', The face shop BL602, China Glaze Fairy dust and Seche Vite top coat.

1) After base coat, apply a thin layer of pink polish on the whole nail.

2) Apply purple polish on two-third of the nail.

3) Apply pink polish over the bottom one-third of the nail again to blend better.

4) Apply blue polish to top one-third of the nail.

5) Apply purple polish to the middle section of the nail again to blend well.

6) Apply blue polish over the top of the nail again. (I need this step because the face shop's polish is not very good. If you are using better polishes I guess you can skip this step!)

7) Apply a coat of glitter polish to further improve on the blended look, and end off with a top coat! :)

TADAH!

First happy with my first try at gradient manicure! :)

Gonna sleep now, goodnights!

Hope that my eye will get better soon, I wanna take photos tomorrow one!!! :(
