I still prefer you with long hair! Why don’t you try a short bob, but with a long fringe instead? That might suit you more 🙂
PS. May i know where you got your dress? I’ve been looking for something like that for the longest time!
Karen Ashley Ng
December 4, 2008 / 6:38 am

Cass – BBK is rather unstable now so hopefully next year it’ll be better cause some of my girlfriends wanna go too! As for the white dress with mini colorful hearts… it’s no longer available at my store… maybe I might decide to let it up next time when I have the time to clear my wardrobe and do a pre-love sale… probably next year!

Do you do the hair curler (if so what brand) or you dont even do anything to your hair? what kinda cream you use?Pls help.. my hair is dead!

Hair Fan – gosh! I am so sorry it didn’t go well for you… the last time i did my perm at Maggie it was with Saito but I heard that he has left. I don’t use any hair curler for my permed hair… only when my hair is straight. You can try using Bed Head Small Talk by TIGI… it’s the only cream I’ve used though not consistently.

February 8, 2009 / 2:49 am
agree with you totally, life is short, so live fully. Sky Diving was fun but if you preferred calming and silent, than scuba diving is better. Sky diving a bit loud and also the adrenalin leaves you breathless everytime you jumped off the plane. Scuba not only calm and ease also able to be memorized by the beauty of the underwater world.

Good clothing items I must say! Nice blog as always! Perhaps you should start shipping sale items out of Spore? Haha!
Renzze
February 28, 2009 / 6:10 pm
Irise – thanks girl! I’m not selling the sales items for profits so at that price the postage overseas would cost more then the item itself!

Scooby – Yeah I think Louis photogenic too!
Renzze
March 1, 2009 / 10:18 pm
anonysg – I’m neither self-employed or work in a family business. I do throw on a jacket at work though. Which line are you in… I’m supposing your companies all have rather strict dress codes.

Hi Karen,
Your dogs are so beautifully groomed. Do you need to do any grooming on Louis, in between visits to the groomer? I’m trying to learn more about Cocker Spaniels as I’m hoping to adopt my friend’s cocker spaniel when the family moves back to US. Currently, I have a silky terrier but grooming a silky is very easy! I’ll be abit lost, as I’m not sure if I know how to groom a cocker spaniel!

March 15, 2009 / 11:48 pm
wow, u r always travelling around. Envy u 🙂
Renzze
March 16, 2009 / 3:39 am
scooby – thanks. Louis actually does basic shaving of his paws and cutting of nails between his visits to the groomer. Cocker tends to be very affectionate and need more attention though. And you should take them out often or they’ll easily become couch potatoes.
Renzze
March 16, 2009 / 3:40 am
melody – i did biz and then went back to do clinical psy.
Renzze

Irise Kubi – I agree that girls might be trouble but that when selecting good friends are important. I don’t hang out with all my girl friends equally but the ones that are close are really close. Btw… you can click on the title of the post to comment directly on the post instead of on the wall. =)

Do you have any sunblock or handcream to recommend? Tries a few but don’t find them good enough. Thanks.
Renzze
April 14, 2009 / 2:18 pm
hazel, I love L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream. It’s fabulous and works well. It usually takes less then 10 mins for it to fully absorb. If you want to go all out… Le Mer Hand cream is divine, just too expensive! For sunblock, I’m actually using sunscreens these days. The best one I’ve had is Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Sensitive but I got that in the states. Locally, the Clarins UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 works pretty well for me. Regardless of which brand on sunblock or sunscreen used, you should reapply it often if you do not want to be burnt.

Thanks! i seldom reapply, most of the sunblock i get are oily in a way, so i doesn’t like the oily feel.

ber, it’s a Hermes Kelly 28 and retails for about 11K. My wait is about 3 years but they are unpredictable, my gf had hers after 3 mths of wait. They do have a gorgeous Graphite one at the boutique now if you’re interested.

Hi Renzze,
I came to your blog via CozyCot! I love salsa and I’ve been doing it since 2001 (gosh, such a long time ago)! I’ll send you some salsa links and hope you’ll have a wonderful time burning the floor!
regina

oh, you have changed your banner into a comic strip cartoon! and she blinks her eyes.. reminds me of the previous cozycot banner of the lady in the tub, who looks back at us over her shoulder and blinks her eyes! 😀 i was quite sad when they took her off.

Xiaoqi, lol… I like changing my banner once in awhile =) Am glad you received the dress already!
Xiaoqi
April 24, 2009 / 5:28 pm
i just realised.. is your eyebrow in the banner drawn the wrong way? heh. usually the bolder part is nearer the nose, and it becomes thinner toward the ear, right? the Ming dynasty bowls are pretty! and the heap of chicken looks sinfully good.
hazel
April 25, 2009 / 2:58 am
Love the outfit you wore for Butter Factory. Is there any mask u can recommend as well? Thanks

Renzze

Renzze

regina, lol… nice! I picked the silver one cause I already have a gold one by DKNY.
Renzze

J, anyone can be a photographer be it friends, family or a self timer camera! If I’m out with friends we’ll take photos and videos for each other… but out of respect for their privacy ( the internet can be a scary place), I don’t always post pictures of all my friends or family.

Leaving for Tokyo tonight. would you mind sharing where the salon is at? as well as comment if i should bring a jacket as well since my clothes are all with sleeves already. Many thanks

Renzze
May 28, 2009 / 1:11 pm
Min, This time I went to a salon called dears at Ikebukuro… it’s all pink and opens 24 hours… but unfortunately I only know how to get there by memory and do not have the addy. You can also try the hair salon at the top floor of 109 in shibuya! I love them as well. When I was there the weather was still on the chilly side but it should have warmed up a bit. The day was perfect but A jacket is a must for the night especially if you have low tolerance to cold.
ting
May 28, 2009 / 2:03 pm
Thank you! I probably will pop on the salon when my next hair cut is due! (=
Min
May 29, 2009 / 9:44 pm
Greetings from Tokyo!!!!!!!!! I am so pissed with myself…. thinking that dears is at a 24 hr mall called Paw … i went over by cab… can’t find and end up taking a round trip cab costings 6000 YEN!!!!!!!!!!! Painful lesson… argh… wanted to save time by going to 24 hour store when nothing to do end night ends up being stupid….. any direction you can provide to lead me to the right salon?
Renzze
May 29, 2009 / 11:03 pm
Min, Gosh! Sorry to hear about what happened! I don’t have the Ikebukuro salon addy as I only know how to walk there physically from the train station. You could go to the Shibuya 109 one on regular hours or if you really want a 24 hours one, I’ve got another place that I’ve visited previously. It’s called DaDa Cubic and their addy is 1F Shibuyamitake Bldg. 1-19-5 Shibuya. Here’s their number in case you can’t find them. 03-5766-8282 They are really good but it’ll be good to give them a call first since the last time I visited them was a year ago. Taking a cab in japan is just so expensive!!!! It may just pay to go from 9pm ( when the shops close) to 11pm++ to be able to catch the last train… unless your hotel is within walking distance.

Renzze

Passerby, You can get from disneyland to the disneyland hotel… by foot it takes about 15 to 20mins… or you can take the resort shuttle from the Disneyland Resort Public Transport Interchange which is about 3 mins walk from the park.

hi renzee, just wondering how long it took u to toilet train ur dogs?
Renzze
June 1, 2009 / 9:12 pm
Barley, Both my dogs were outdoor trained almost after a few days but I wanted my dogs to learn how to do their business indoors as well so they won’t have to hold their bladder till someone takes them out or for those rainy months. For indoor training, my male cocker, Louis, took about 10 weeks and my female pom, Emmie, took only 3-4 weeks.

Dont wait my dear.. dont make it happen like my sis and all my friends… they waited, wanted couplehood.. no money.. no time..etc, now they are frantically trying but to no avail. Worst thing is, my friends go for the IVF jab. each jab costs her S$5000. To date she’s done 3 jabs.. so no chance.. and can you imagine the time and money spent? $15000 for “trying a baby”..

You worry bout skinny problems.. if you are even concern then do you know that the older you have kids, the more health problems you will get? so its up to you. Dont prevent or delay.. If you have, praise the lord for the gift. Its just a piece of my kind advice.

Tks renzee, guess i need to hv more patience with my doggies 🙂 Btw abt ur weight issues…don’t fret cos I’m like u, off the ideal BMI. I think BMI is just a no. most impt is to be healthy, of course if fats can be distributed evenly then that’s a bonus *evil grin* I wish for that too.

hi, u mean u manged to retrieve pictures from formatted memory card? teach me!! i accidentally formatted my camera memory card for my first 2 day into taiwan trip and i almost burst out crying in taiwan. now u’ve given me some hope!!
Renzze
June 3, 2009 / 4:43 am
Babygal, I’m still pretty young so being healthy is my priority… babies-wise, it’s just a bonus to me… I’ll just take what destiny has planned out for me… no need to fret!

June 3, 2009 / 4:44 am
Barley, with dogs, they need a lot of love , attention and patience but having them rewards you in so many ways! How old are your dogs?
Renzze
June 3, 2009 / 5:11 am
sannnz, sorry to hear about your memory card. Unfortunately, in my case, I didn’t accidentally format my card… just that the card got a little corrupted for some reason. My friend helped me retrieve the pictures before re-formatting the card. Once you reformat a card the photos are lost. And I know how painful that can be especially if the memories snapped are important.

renzee, my doggies are just turning 3mths old. Looking forward to go home everyday so i can spend time with them.
Renzze
June 4, 2009 / 12:04 am
Barley, How many doggies do you have and what breed? It can be a real handful dealing with more than one puppy! I almost bought a 2nd dog ( cocker mix goldie) when Louis was 3 mths… but the sensible side in me stopped me. Only when Louis turned 1 did i get Emmie.
Barley
June 4, 2009 / 10:47 am
renzee, i hv 2 dogs (cocker mix schnauzer). Wanted to get 1 but since they r siblings n seeing them so close to each other I decided to get both so they can hv e/o for company as well

June 6, 2009 / 11:05 pm
Barley, Wow! I’ve never seen a cocker mix schnauzer… do send me pics!! I’m sure they are very cute! I have such a weakness for cockers. They also need lots of socialization with humans and other dogs while they are young.
Barley
June 8, 2009 / 11:29 am

Lynn, I bought the dress from an online LJ store quite some time back… not sure which one anymore.
Renzze
June 9, 2009 / 4:38 pm
Barley, I got your pictures and both of them are so adorable!!! The have cocker ears and paws but a schnauzer face! Gigi’s fur (the one with lighter patches on the face) has cocker fur while Barley has more schnauzer fur. hehe… Both breeds are highly intelligent but rather stubborn so you’ve got quite a handful!

hi renzze, have been a follower of ur blog for quite sometime cos of ur adorable dogs. oh and a life every girl envy! all the labels and holidays … slurp! jus curious … what do you work as?
Barley
June 15, 2009 / 10:30 am
renzze, what’s the model of the chanel bag u r carrying?
Renzze
June 15, 2009 / 5:10 pm
Midori, it’s from MEL, a cheap brand that robinson carries.
Renzze
June 15, 2009 / 5:13 pm
Kate, there’s no need to envy… lol… I’m everyone has their own story and there are many girls out there with a lot more exciting lives and outfits! It just probably happens that I blog about mine. I’m a researcher and it’s a really unexciting job… hehe…
Renzze
June 15, 2009 / 5:15 pm
Barley, It’s the chanel disc bag with flap… I’m not sure of the model no but the Singapore boutique was carrying the model a few months back… maybe they still have it.

do you wear false lashes? where do you buy them? =)

Renzze

Claire, my latest batch is from Japan.
Renzze
June 16, 2009 / 11:32 am
Wendy, I absolutely agree with you! Yet at the same time I also feel that the people that you choose to help and serve should not be publicly blogged about. One must consider their feelings. A lot of them have a lot of pride and it doesn’t help that Singapore is not a very forgiving society. I like them to think that they are only in a bad phase for awhile and things will look better for them in the future without having anyone categorize them as the needy. Charity also happens on a day to day basis with people you meet… not just with organizations. In general I only put photos of other people when I’m sure they’ll be ok with public exposure ( my hubby’s pictures are almost never seen)… even if sometimes it means I end up with narcissistic posts with photos of no one else but me!!! And as for blogging about how much has been donated… well… that’s crude.
Barley
June 16, 2009 / 2:00 pm
Thanks, will pop by Chanel to see if its still avail.

thanks for answering. mind me asking more? research on? haha .. it feels exciting to me! anyway u r married!! i didn’t know that cos like u say, ur hubby doesn’t really appear in ur blog. that explains … haha cos i alway find it cute why u seem to have someone helpin u to take pic haha n u look way too young to b married lol!

renzze, don’t mind wendy…maybe she’s just envious of your fabulous life…we love your blog so keep on writing! =)
Isabebe
June 17, 2009 / 9:04 am
Ill have to agree with Renzze on that. While we might champion causes on our blogs, putting up pictures of yourself doing community work and “helping” people is rather distasteful. Showcasing ones philanthropic endeavors in a blog meant to entertain the senses might reek of self-justification as well, while a blog created purely for the purposes of campaigning causes would, in all honesty, not have very many readers would there. There would always be people with something to say. I think from her blog, it should be rather discernible that renzze is a well balanced and sensible girl

Kate, I’m doing research in developmental psychology… basically dealing with the back-end of research on children. Lol… and yes I’m married… I’m not as young as my pictures seem to portray me… or maybe it’s my petite size that is misleading… hehe… but I believe that as long as you are young at heart… age is just a number.

June 18, 2009 / 9:15 pm
well to each his own. i never thought you’d agree with me either. Perhaps it’s because i come from a very very poor background and there is nothing i could identify here. i support my family of 6 cos my parents are not able anymore. I do not envy you seriously. i am totally happy with myself. Just thought why this blog is rather skewed to materialistic pleasures only. though there is nothing wrong in enjoying either. We just don’t share the same pleasures in life. I am a MINDS school teacher anyway.

Renzze
June 19, 2009 / 1:27 am
Wendy, I never thought of you or any readers of my blog as envious of anything. Envy does no one any good and the secret to happiness is contentment. It doesn’t matter how little or much you have if you cannot see the goodness. Life is about ups and downs and I wasn’t born with a golden spoon either. So while you might not be able to identify with my lifestyle it doesn’t mean I do not understand what it is like to be poor. Regardless of whether you are reading a mag or newspaper or book or a blog, you never know a person till you spend time with them so one should never rush judgements. I do think that your job as well as your undertakings to your family is very noble. And I’m sure that through what you have seen and experienced you have been blessed with many qualities no money can buy. In life there are ups too and when it’s time to enjoy… one should not feel guilty. Please don’t get offended with my viewpoint. It’s good to remember your roots and want to contribute back to society, but good deeds are better done silent. I’m sure you do not blog publicly about your struggles with your family or your students state of affairs because you value their feelings. Unfortunately, this blog was created to share my passion for fashion and traveling with friends instead of being a base for my personal philosophy or about the economics of the world…. this is the lifestyle section of the newspaper if you get my drift. A place for friendships and light heartedness.

June 19, 2009 / 8:13 am
I’d wanted to say this earlier but held my tongue as there had been no further remarks and didn’t wish to be disputatious. Blogs are as any editorial content, categorically disinclined to provide a rounded picture of a situation or personality. While i’m not saying that there are gems behind every seemingly mono-faceted personality, one must bear in mind that humans are as a whole more multi-faceted than they appear. While we appreciate that you may not identify with the contents of the blog, not everyone might have the same lifestyle or perhaps aspect of the lifestyle and that is perhaps what the blog’s greatest purpose is, to capture and share the delights of the whimsical and wonderful with the help of a good camera and a caption as memories have the nasty tendency to go nowhere but into the deep recesses of one’s own mind. I think the need for delight and joy to be spread into this world is perhaps equal to, if not more than sobering hum drum or incessant whining about life. And while readers with particular sensitivities about bag brands may direct attention to her paraphernalia, renzze isn’t particularly ostentatious about displaying them.
isabebe
June 19, 2009 / 8:25 am
All i am saying that we should recognise the purpose of the blog and not to judge people based on them, nor require them to have to defend themselves.

June 19, 2009 / 4:45 pm
anyway yea, after reading through some of the long replies… hmmmm. well i think it’s usual for some who 1st come across this blog to find it “skewed to materialistic pleasures”… but i think one shouldn’t judge too quickly from mere blog entries, right? there are those who only write about emo stuff, while others who only want to share happy moments… but that doesn’t mean the former is permanently emo while latter has no woes at all, right? like, i don’t blog about work problems at all, doesn’t mean i have no problem at work. yea? yes, to each his/her own~ and if you know renzze personally, you’ll know that she’s a very sincere person, who happens to also know how to enjoy and maximize her life. if there’s one thing that i truly envy her for, it’s her time management!!!
JO
June 19, 2009 / 10:12 pm
I am sure its not too difficult to understand that If you find this blog “too materialistic”,don’t read it! I mean, its Renzze’s personal blog! I think she is already so nice to put this point gently across. If it was me, I would just tell you to SHOO!

Wendy, if you feel so uncomfortable to read Renzze’s blog, why read it in the first place and leave such unpleasant comments? I am a reader of this blog, & I do not know Renzze personally although I left some comments here & there, but I enjoy her every post. I also cannot have the lifestyle as her, but never in my mind, I feel “jealous” about it…. Infact I enjoy reading her blog & in a way, I also get to know about the places that I have not visit so far…. Renzze, dun be affected by Wendy’s remarks, and keep writing…. I like reading your blog! 🙂

I don’t think it’s possible to know a person by simply reading her blog and it’s really up to you to decide what should be featured here. 🙂 Anyway, on a happier note, I love your Japan trip photos!! It’s strange, but I have the same pair of rubber boots that you bought, except that I got mine in Venice. Haha!

These days it’s not only the guys that can cheat… girls do too… being stuck to the hip doesn’t guarantee anything… I think if you wanna cheat… you’ll always find ways and if you don’t want to… you simply won’t. Someday I’ll start a family and it’ll be a lifestyle shift… but for now I just wanna see the world!

hi renzze, i like your new transformers banner! it’s very cool =) your japan pictures are beautiful! i’m planning to do japan at year end and can’t wait!
woah..but you seem have alot leave?your job is your own company?as if a normal clerk or working people.almost is 14days of leave.but you every mth seem to be travel.and even in travel is for working.but you able to play.are you really is working?or are you stay home wife?your hubby support your travel,car,clothes,dogs? you are really blessed.
jojo, I’m quite blessed to have a job that is project based and allows me to be a mobile worker giving me more flexibility. I guess with the current onset of technological advances we are all headed that direction but singapore work environment seems to be a little more traditional still. At the moment I still have to work hard for my money, for travels and for purchases… hopefully in the future I can work purely for interest.

June 30, 2009 / 12:32 am
Indeed – hey I can’t see (or recognise) Fujisan from your Lake Aishi pics as well – thought it would be visible?
Do return to Hakone and spend a night there with a loved one 🙂 Its pricey but really worth it.
I only managed to capture 2 to 3 shots of fujisan but they came out blur!!! And the fog came in after so fuji was barely visible.

Hey girl, what software do you use to after touch your pictures? And what do you do with them? I’m asking because I have the same camera but my pictures never look as nice as yours. Thanks.
Renzze
July 2, 2009 / 5:38 pm
Shelly, I use adobe to add my own watermark and white balance the pictures. My japan photos were taken from few cameras cause all my friends were also snapping… a tripod is a wonderful tool for great pictures especially at night. I tend not to use flash so i need steady hands.
Kanos
July 3, 2009 / 1:44 am
Hey the Hakone day tour seems kinda pricey – paid JPY50K for my Hakone freepass for 2 days all transport included and about JPY16K supplement for the romance car rides!
Renzze
July 3, 2009 / 2:24 am
Kanos, the hakone pass is only ¥5000 from shinjuku. But due to time constraints we took the greyline tour which is ¥16000, as they say time is money!
shelley
July 3, 2009 / 2:26 pm
Thanks so much girl!
Herb
July 3, 2009 / 11:47 pm
hi renzze, i simply love ur pix.. may i ask which camera are you using? also, when you’re taking ur pic, are u using the macro function? =)
herb, I’m using Cannon Ixus 860I which is a pretty old camera… would be changing that soon. I do use the macro function from time to time. My Japan photos are taken from a mix of different cameras though as all the girls brought their own.

hi, saw the cute pink and white lugguage that you have. where did you buy it from? your photos really makes me wanna go to tokyo
Kanos, lol…. yes burberry blue is only found in Japan unless they’ve been brought into Singapore via import. They have reversible models as well as the normal totes.
Kanos
July 4, 2009 / 2:14 pm
Yeah Tokyo’s a great destination, can be a bit pricey though! Been there 3 times this year already and not had enough!
If I get there in Aug, the plan is to scale Fujisan…the sight from the top looks amazing!!!
sassygirl, we did have lots of fun… and I too miss Japan!
Barley
July 6, 2009 / 2:15 pm
wow! blue labels…i went gaga ovr the blue/black labels when I was there last yr. Couldn’t get enough, friends were complaining that the only thing they rem abt our japan trip was blue/black label *hahaha*
Barley, lol… I guess it’s a great place to shop for souvenirs since only Japan carries Burberry Blue and Black labels. One of the girls had to make her stop there so the rest of us ended up buying too.
Serene
July 6, 2009 / 11:43 pm
Hi Renzze, where did you get the white/Pink lugguage from? Thank U!
It’s from Ueno… at one of the little alleys in Ameyayokocho Street. There are many cute and quaint designs for luggage other than the one I bought.
Wen
July 9, 2009 / 12:23 pm
Hey I have been following your blog a while now and you got me really curious with all the nice clothes you have! Where do you get your clothes from mostly? And you really look very very very very young, like 22 yrs old? How old are you exactly? Haha. Apologise if that’s a rude and blunt question.
Kath
July 9, 2009 / 10:17 pm
Heya! I clicked on your link on cozycot. Your photos of Japan are really interesting! Glad to see you had fun there! I enjoyed the pictures. 🙂
Renzze
July 10, 2009 / 11:20 am
Wen, I get my clothes from everywhere! Don’t really stick to one brand. And I’m actually 27 turning 28 this year… it’ll be nice to be 22 again =)
Renzze

Kath, glad you liked the pictures!

I had dinner there few wks ago. Value for $, definitely gg back again.
Linda, they’ve got pork (different parts) and marinated pork or marinated chicken. It’s self service but if you go on weekdays they tend to help you to BBQ.

Hi Renzze, may i know where do u register this .com domain? =)
Hi Renzze, your pink camcorder bought in Japan looks ultra cute and portable, how much was it, do you remember? And does it have an english menu on the screen of the camcorder? As you know, Sony and Canon camcorders there have Jap words on their screens, hard to understand… 🙂 Thanks!
SS, Harris is not the best resort in Batam. But if you intend to head down to the city I think harris gives good value for $. They have a few packages ranging from $100 to $300 and some comes with spa. We all took the honeymoon package.
S, there are mosquitoes in some areas… though I only got bitten once. And there’s definitely air con in the rooms at Harris.
Wen
July 21, 2009 / 10:20 pm
Renzze, the camcorder was a good buy! Looks really pretty. Thanks for replying! 🙂
Serena
July 21, 2009 / 11:31 pm
hi renzze, thanks for the info. i saw a similar pair of the black stud shoes at FEP but it doesnt look as good. do you still happen to have the link to the online shop u bought from?? thanks!
passerby, I’m using canon ixus 860I. It’s great for daytime pictures but not too good for night shots.
shelley
July 29, 2009 / 8:53 pm
Hi girl, if you don’t mind me asking, will you consider doing an underwear post? As i’ve noticed in your blogs, you have nice bras to go with all different sorts of outfits. Do you normally get them from Singapore or Japan?
Shelly, Are you referring to buying and fitting of the right undergarments? I’m no expert on that topic! lol. The last batch of undergarments I bought them in Tokyo.
Belle
August 1, 2009 / 8:56 am
Hi Renzze, saw ur post on the jap food in vivo, mind telling me which restaurant is that, it look really yummy to me! Thanks!
LK, I got mine in Frankfurt. The Singapore Longchamp brought in this bag as well but I’m not sure if there are any pieces left since this is a limited edition design.
.van, ya I’ve been pretty busy. I haven’t seen you in ages too! How are you doing? I still meet Audrey once in awhile though. Maybe we can meet up in Sept when I’m back.

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.

I like how you did magic tricks to make those cleaning equipments come out ^^ very creative… and thanks for the cleaning tips! ^^
Corr, I’ve used it on quite a few of my bags and it’s been great so far. Haven’t had time to coat all my bags so I only tend to use them on the bags I carry out more often.

Do you mind recommending me eye cream that works well on fine lines? The current one i am using, seem to be too oily for me. Thanks. =)
hazel, The best I’ve tried is Le Mer Eye Concentrate… very pricey but it really works! A cheaper alternative is ROC Retin-OX+ Intensive Eye Anti-Wrinkle Care.
Kanos
August 11, 2009 / 12:34 am
Bali time soon? I just came back from there – did a lot of diving and met up with some friends at Ku De Ta (which is madly expensive by Bali standards but worth a try!)
Hazel, Le Mer can be bought at CK Tangs or Taka though I tend to get mine at the airport. As for ROC, you can get it at some pharmacies. I haven’t used ROC in a long time so I’m not sure.

b4 u leave for bali, pls update your organizer for our adventure: 26th Sep 2009 😛
Kanos, Grand Bali is at Nusa Dua but the villa will be at Uluwatu. I’ve been to bali quite a few times already so I do have some contacts there but you can still share what you enjoyed the most!
Kanos
August 14, 2009 / 1:01 am
Let me try to summarise in a few words then! Menega Cafe (be careful – you WILL end up smelling like what you ate!) is about the only honest joint for seafood on the beach. Try Toya Spa if you like massages!
Kanos
August 14, 2009 / 1:06 am
Think that just as you’re in Bali, I’ll be summiting 3,776m in Japan and hope to catch what is said to be the most amazing sunrise in the land! Keeping fingers crossed that there,s no rain!
hmm .. who are the goodun who think you r living off ur hubby or family? since e day i ever read ur blog, it jus dawned upon me dat female these days can b v independent n u inspired me, it nv once came across u were living off someone. ur independence n confidence is e main reason i continued to read till now. jus ignore the ignorants.
Kate, Thanks for your vote of confidence. I guess when you have something so public like a blog, you’re bound to run into some misunderstandings with readers.

i love ur blue dress with the gold chains!! may i know where u got it from =D
you look nice in all the pics and you take nice pics too 🙂
your dad look so young, i thikn he could be even mistaken as ur hub, ur dad look like he only at most 10-15 yrs so senior. think u inherit his young genes too 🙂 envy!
Samantha, thanks. My dad does look young for his age… and so do I. But I guess if you are young at heart it shows through.

heys babe, myntloves from CC here! 😀 love yr photos and i have that dress you wore on august 17th too! 🙂 chic 😛 hehe. btw, what camera did you use for the photos! 🙂 thanks, xoxo.
noi, Thanks!! Some of the photos were taken with my canon ixus 860I compact camera and some were taken with Canon DSLR 300D. Usually I just use the compact camera though.

lil_piggie, I did re-perm my hair not too long back =) But the curls are also more defined only when I blow dry the hair.
Lucbabe
August 27, 2009 / 1:42 pm
Hi karen! I am looking for a new camera. Your night shots look good, was wondering whether u used flash in those shots? And are those taken with ur canon or DSLR? Thanks!
I bought this dress sometime last year when it first came out. The first batch was totally sold out and I could only get my hands on a M-sized piece so I definitely had to alter it.

hi babe, may i know where did u get your recent white dresses from? the one from your latest post & the other which you wore to your friend’s morning wedding ceremony? am looking for white dresses as my friend’s wedding theme is white & it’s so difficult to find nice white dresses. thanks!
Angel, I didn’t buy a train pass. I just paid the fare for the single trip ticket whenever I needed to travel cause I don’t travel that much in a day. Tend to stay at one area or walk around from place to place in the same area.

September 3, 2009 / 8:45 am
hi renzze, may i know where did you get the blue dress from? Is very lovely. Thanks.
ec, I used quite a few different brands. Currently I’m using MAC and also those I gotten at the drugstores in Japan. Putting on lashes is a little like putting on contact lens, it’s difficult when you first start but once you know how to do it, you don’t even have to think about it.
Oic, then may I know the black Chanel jumbo classic flap that you shared with us in your (i think) last month fotos is caviar or lambskin? Cos I’m now thinking which to get: Caviar/Lambskin, Jumbo/Medium. Talk about indecisiveness! haha.. Thanks!
Renzze

Mod, the black jumbo is in caviar. You’ll see it in again in my post today.

they dun grow in mineral btl but were placed inside the btl. there is a slit on each btl but not obvious 😉 if i’m not wrong, they r mantis shrimps (賴尿蝦) 🙂 happy weekend!!
Kanos, lol… it’s really more of a clarification rather than a warning. I just have been having too many misunderstandings for too long so I thought it best to clear it all up.

September 18, 2009 / 12:04 pm
hi babe! am going to beijing for a trip but totally clueless as to where to shop! hv u been there b4? any advices/where for good shopping? tia!
niki, the last time I was in Beijing was years ago… at least 10! Was there for 3 months when I did a short student cultural immersion program with Beijing University. I didn’t really shop much then. But I do remember that the things were really cheap and you could bargain to less then half the quoted price. For clothes and accessories shopping you can try going to the Sanlitun Yashow Clothing Market… take the rail to Dongsishitiao, then bus 701 heading E. And 新光天地 is where all the brand names are.

Hi Renzze, enjoy reading your blog a lot. Need some advise from you, do you have any recommendation for affordable cheongsam for a petite gal? Tks in advance
pyxis, chongsums should always be tailored to fit in my opinion. There’s a seamstress that does chongsum on the 2nd floor of pple’s park market. It ranges from $80 to $200 if I remember correctly.
pyxis
September 19, 2009 / 11:36 am
as in the short building next to OG? Do you have the name of the shop. So diff to get fitting clothes cos of my size
pyxism, yup that’s the building. I only remember it to be on the 2nd floor… not sure what’s the name.

Hi Renzze, enjoyed reading you blog. Anyway, need some advice and hope you can help. I’m going Korea in mid-nov. Season is autumn winter. Do you think trench coat is good enough or need a thicker winter coat? Saw a trench coat at Zara, but SA said more suitable for HK winter weather. Any advice? Thks!
Korea’s winter can be pretty cold. If you want to get a trench, get one with thicker linings. Or you could just layer up and buy your coats when you are in Korea. Don’t forget to wear your gloves and scarf!

Wendii, I already have permed hair so to have bouncier curls I have to blow dry my hair…. preferably with a diffuser.

Hey I wanted to get that Juicy Couture bikini on asos too but held back cuz of the price and now its all out of my size.. Good choice made! Love the colour combi! How much does the top and bottom piece cost in the SG boutique? Rem they cost 75 pds each on asos.. TIA!
Harlow, you are probably asked this question umpteen times, but where do you get your hair perm? Do you do additional curling at home? It always look so well curled, especially those in the loy kee chicken rice post!
shan, I’ve permed my hair at quite a few places… the last was at gorgeous hair. My curls are flat when I take photos before they are fully air dried. To get very obvious bouncy curls, I blow dry them with a round brush.
Rose
September 24, 2009 / 6:57 am
Hi Renzze! can i check where u got ur top with puffed checked sleeves in your last post at the airport?
sunflower, I’m not too sure how to answer that cause I actually recognize the place by sight rather than road names. But you can see the row of shop houses from the main road and at the entrance there is a sign that states seletar hills.
Amanda
September 25, 2009 / 7:14 pm
hi renzee 🙂 i love reading your blog, im around your height and i love getting ideas on how to dress from you cos while you look young, you also always manage to look so willowy and elegant! noticed that you have so many pairs of cute wedges, where do you normally buy them? am always on the look-out for more. haha. take care and stay pretty 🙂
Amanda, I’m glad you enjoy reading the posts. I wear a lot of wedges cause they are a lot more comfy especially when I am out with my dogs a lot. It means that grass patches or sand is not difficult to navigate. I don’t buy my shoes from just one place… I buy them whenever it catches my eye. The last few pairs of wedges that I bought were from Takashimaya.

hi, I like your longchamp keychain. It is so lovely! I’m tempted to get one for myself
kit, I heart it too! That’s why I bought it even though I wasn’t too sure if it’ll be too young for me. It’s not too ex… about SGD100++… I can’t remember the exact price cause I bought it together with a few other items.
interested
October 1, 2009 / 12:19 pm
hey renzze ! where did u brought the longchamp limited edition bag (the totebag with the badge )??? i thought its out of stock in sin ?
shelly, can’t remember the MAC lash no. but whenever I use MAC I go for the least dramatic one cause all their lashes are really long. I reuse them from 5-8 times depending how how long I wear them for.

I don’t mean to wish ill upon people but what i mean was that if their shocking behaviour was meant with swift and harsh backlash they’d be more incline to learn by pavlova conditioning of sorts that that’s unacceptable behaviour. heh. But yea it takes some kind of a sociopath to do such things and they r such disgusting low life that get really pissed off, esp when the girl is a sweetheart =<

I boil chicken breast till it’s cooked. I retain the stock for use with other dishes. Then just leave the cooked chicken breast to cool or wash them under cold water then de-bone and shred the chicken meat. Mix the shredded chicken with some mayo, add salt and pepper to taste and that’s it!

Mind sharing where you normally browse for the latest fashion?
I don’t have a specific place I browse for the latest fashion. I guess from time to time I’ll read magazines and browse the catalogs that the stores send or if I have time on my hands I’ll look at blogs.

Jessica & Ling & Summer, hey babes… sorry I can’t disclose the cost of the ring here cause I bought 2, one as a pressie for a friend and she reads this blog too! But the ring is still available at the stores as it’s from their latest collection so do check it out!

hihi, may I noe how much did you pay for the Miss MARC ring? it looks lovely 🙂
Their wedding are spectular and sooo soo blissful. I bet we all feel the love in the air and have a sudden urge to get married soon. This must really cost a bomb wif wedding planners and destination wedding. How envy I am!
goodness.. the whole wedding is so fairytale & beautiful! the place is gorgeous and the set up of the whole thing, it makes me wanna get married too! v intimate wedding which i so wanna have … that is if i have enuff cash haha. congrats to sushi and her prince!
what a beautiful wedding! thanks for sharing!! may i ask where did you purchase the crystal-studded shoes you wore for the wedding and the eyelet white dress you worn for the Rehersal post? thanks!
hi renzze, i have a silly question here. do you have to take off your boots before boarding the plane when going through the check? cos i realized you fly often & wear boots to the airport. i have no idea who to ask & i’m traveling to a cold country soon. sorry if i seem really dumb.. thank u!
S, I was there for close to 2 weeks and I rotated back to Grand Bali later on.
S
October 20, 2009 / 10:03 pm
One suggestion thot..is to share yr great deals..with cost. I guess it helps for ppl who want to enjoy the similar treatment u had but on the other hand, i know it will invite some to say tat u r flaunting yr wealth! Mixed reaction always
S, I find it a tad crude to talk about prices cause it’s not difficult to find out the costs if one is truly interested. Besides, I buy different things at different times and places that I honestly don’t really keep track of the prices!

Hi, may I know where you got the black see through sequin top that you wore to the safari park? It’s really pretty 🙂
Hi Renzze!The wedding of Sushi and her Hus is PERFECT! OMG! Really *WOW*! Everything is PERFECT! The colour theme of Sky blue and white is such a Beautiful choice! Bridemaid’s dress also PERFECT! Like Fairytale indeed! And Sushi looked Gorgeous! And so LoVinG with her hus! *CONGRATS*! I feel so happy for them too! And think this wedding is PERFECT! Everything!!! 😀 😀 😀

I didn’t notice the safari / marine park though I thought I saw a brochure – where is it near? Looking from the pictures, seems like I would give it a miss since I’m headed for the real deal in SA in Dec!
Kanos, It’s near Ubud. SA sounds fantastic, I saw some SIA 10 day deals recently and was tempted but maybe I should hold out till after the craziness of the world cup dies down… lol.

Babe, any idea which area has more afforable apparel in Japan? Is Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro near Shibuya? which place do u recommand for shopping? TQ!
Vivi, You can try harajuku for more better deals. Sakura hotel is in Ikebukuro, not near Shibuya but you can get there by train. Shibuya 109 is my personal favorite shopping spot but it’s not the cheapest place.

hey babe, are u using a DSLR camera? the pics are nice..
hi, i also would like to know how much is the drivers in bali charging for a day? can u also recommend him? i am going to bali mid nov and have not plan anything yet
Vivi, how much depends on where you are headed and what activities. You can contact Magnum at Tel: + 62 (0) 361 – 758 387 or 85 72 590 Mobile/24 hour hotline: + 62 (0) 8123 761 977 but nov might be pretty rainy to visit Bali though.

Kanos
October 27, 2009 / 11:24 pm
10 day deals? You mean guided tours? I actually gave the exact same itinerary to a tour planner and quote was about 20% more expensive per person! Better to DIY and negotiate if you have a group! And I’ve been advise to go there before the World Cup cos thats when security is being beefed up…after that, its all downhill!
Kanos, the Bali climb is only 4 or 5 hours. Fuji is a much greater challenge! I don’t think I’ll be visiting SA in a big group… given an option I always like to do my holidays F & E.
Kanos

Oh no you don’t need a big group 4-6 persons is enough. And mine’s F&E all the way. It can be a headache trying to make it all work but rewarding when it materialises!
Oh 4 -6 seems pretty do-able. Share with me when you’ve gone for your trip!

Hi can I know where your friend sushi got her diamond shoes for her wedding? I love it sooo much! any idea how much it cost? cos i would like to get one for my wedding too!
wow ur waist – to die for!! how u maintain a flat tummy n slim waist?? btw it’s pretty scary to hold the bat. can see that u r a very daring person. :p
Eileen, lol… you only live once so unless it’s harmful to yourself or others, it good to give everything a go. A small waist is genetics but I don’t exactly have a flat tummy… so I’m actually a little self-conscious of bikini photos. I do what most girls do… just stand straight and hold my breath for a photograph! lol. But having an active lifestyle and bringing my dogs out for walks often does help maintain. I do like to swim too.

Hi Renzze,
I’ve been a great follower of your blog. Your photos were all wonderfully taken! May I know who’s the fantastic photographer who has been taking most of your shots? :p
Aeris, thank you! Pictures that does not contain myself inside are usually taken by me. Those with me in them are taken by my SO, family or friends.

I agree with u that we only live once n shld try to give everything a go but sometime u need a little courage at that moment or encouragement or a company (that is my case thou). ya and i especially love ur furballs.
Eileen, I need a little push sometimes too! And good company is always welcomed! I haven’t blogged about my 2 little fur balls in awhile… but you’ll see more of them on my blog soon!

Hi Renzze! Great photos of Bali! Thanks for sharing! Could I ask you for the contact of the tailor who did the dresses for your friend’s wedding? I think you shared it before but as a reply to a tag. Need a new tailor for my bestie’s wedding. Thanks! 🙂
shermaine, I just did a post! But actually it’s impossible to state all that we are selling because there are so many! And the girls have gorgeous clothes to let go… I’m only a small part the yard sale.

Hi Renzze, love your blog! and you outfits too! This blog has become my daily read even though i dont know you in person. Great work to blog daily! Cheers! Oh please update your cute doggies! 🙂
Nicole, thats so sweet of you to drop me a note. I’ll blog about Louis and Emmie soon enough… they are such a permanent fixture in my life so I can’t avoid blogging about them too.

I love your posts! How can i buy one of your cute dresses?
hello hello! the nearest mrt stations to 11 Lor Siglap (aka the venue of the yard sale) are Kembangan and Bedok. From Bedok, you may catch bus service 40 from the bus interchange and alight at the 5th stop (after Elite Park Ave). After which, walk backwards to Lor Siglap which is a mere street away from Elite Park Ave. Hope that helps! See you tomorrow 🙂

Shir, we are intending to hold another yard sale soon… I’ll update again when I have more info. I don’t have a particular place where I shop… I tend to buy as and when something catches my eyes.

I, when online shopping goes wrong it can be rather upsetting… I do hope that they are doing something about the issue so they don’t lose another valuable customer.

Hi! The dress that you wore to the burberry event is gorgeous! Where did you get it from?? Love it!!
Hi, knowing that you also love your dogs.. here I have a tribute video for my dog. Hope you like it and share it with those who also have the passion for dogs… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnySgoUxwIo
Stephy, thanks for sharing, it was heartbreaking to watch. I’ve lost my previous Pomeranian, Melody, to old age but those memories remain. I’m a lot older know and even more attached to Louis and Emmie so I can’t bear to think of the day they might leave me.

Hi Renzze, just wondering when u mentioned :” leather protector” for the apple garde spraying… what is it actually. are u referring to the apple garde or some piece of cloth etc.
have u tried it on LV and does it make the thread turns darker.
Eve, apple garde is a type of leather protector but it can be used on various bag materials as well. I’ve sprayed on my LV palermo and initially after spraying the whole bag is darker but once it drys off and I’ve wiped it down it’s back to the original color… including thread. Just mist lightly and not soak the bag with the spray. You can respray whenever you feel that the water repelling effect has worn off… normally I only spray my bags when it’s brand new and when I decide to clean and condition it. Leather needs more care but LV canvas seems to be less likely to get dirty. I have too many bags so I don’t store them as well as I should. But ideally, store your bags away from sunlight in a cool dry place with moisture absorbers. You can put paper stuffings in them to keep the shade… and air it once in awhile if you don’t use it. Don’t store them in plastic bags cause leather needs to breath!
Eve
November 19, 2009 / 12:22 pm
oic. Thanks. btw have u tried them on yr LV vachetta and do they still patina? I dont like to see darken strap etc. Do u cover up the chain etc, hardware (gold) or u also just sprayed on it.
Eve, I’ve used Apple Garde on most of my LV and so far the strap seems to be pretty light still. There is no need to cover the hardware if you are using apple garde.

Can I know which estate or golf course is that in KL? Might have to relocate to KL one day.
eve, I’m not too keen on disclosing the exact location due to privacy issues but there are tons of gorgeous estates of golf courses in KL… by the time you are intending to buy your place the prime areas would have expanded!

babe! i asked about where to shop in beijing some time ago, dunno if u rem me..anyway, i’ll be going to UK soon. do u think it’s worth it to buy LV/Chanel there? please advise,thanks so much in advance!
nicky, yes I remember. Chanel is definitely much cheaper in London after the tax rebate and it helps that the pounds are low now. I’m looking to score some myself! LV, is cheaper in France… I don’t know about UK since I haven’t bought LV there before but I guess it should be cheaper as well.

Hi Renzze, I am really envious that that you can manage your time so well, juggling your work, travelling, home with your 2 babies, your family and finding time to update your latest findings online. I am in fact feeling rather down now because I can’t seem to complete and clear my work before I fly off to Japan. And becoz I have been so busy with work, my hubby has to do all the planning. I am feeling so guilty now. Just Curious.. do you have a maid at home?
pinky, there’s no need to be envious at all… I’m in constant sleep debt!!! In a relationship it’s all about give and take so while your hubby does the holiday planning because you are so busy, you can always make it up to him when you are in Japan! And no, I do not have a maid… I don’t have kids so I’ve no problems cleaning up after myself and my 2 dogs.

Hi Karen, just wanted to check if the Apple Garde Rain & Stain Repellent and Leather conditioner can be use on Tod’s bag. Thanks!
Joanne, which Tod bag is this? You can use the Apple Guarde Rain & Stain Repellent on most surfaces so no need to worry. As for the leather conditioner, you can only use it on leather surfaces so do check with you SA if it’s made of leather.
Serene
November 29, 2009 / 6:45 pm
Renzze, the post on 27 November, the one with beaded. TIA. And i like the top u wear on 29 November as well.
Serene, The beaded grey dress i wore is bought from FEP and on the 29th, I wore a blue dress… not a top. It’s from Chloe. PS – I’m letting the beaded grey dress go at $16 inclusive of normal post.
You can just bring the bag to the TOD boutique to get more information about it. Or maybe email the picture to lovingyourbags and see if they are able to help you since I’m sure they have a wealth of experience dealing with all sorts of bags. But on a whole, I don’t think there will be any issues using the apple guarde and apple conditioner on your bag. Since it’s brand new…. there is no need to condition it first… just use the rain and stain repellent.
s
November 30, 2009 / 11:14 am
U sound pretty offended..the reason why I came to that conclusion is becos my sis is 1.52m and she was wearing school shoes walking next to you and U looked obviously shorter than her. no offense gal.
s, I’ve been entertaining you with the same question for about 3-4 replies now… and there is nothing I can do if you want to ask a question but not willing to accept my answer except to measure for yourself isn’t it? And the fact that you hide behind a “new email” address for every posting doesn’t make it seem any more friendly. I could have deleted all your msgs but I’ve tried my best to answer… now what do you want from me?
s
November 30, 2009 / 5:29 pm
hi renzze, i was just puzzled as to why you lied to me about ur height. im dead sure im right, if u dun believe me, get ur hubby or some one taller to measure u.
S, How can you can me a liar and not expect me to be offended. I do not hide behind an anonymous nick and make baseless remarks. I put my photos and videos out there for all to see and have met many readers personally at my yard sale and other events. Lying about height is a stupid accusation. How about I propose a $1000 bet with proceeds going to a charity of my choice. There will be cameras, video camera and it will be open to all my readers as well. It will be publicly blogged and you can get your satisfactory answer while I’m measured. If you are as dead sure as you say about what you saw then you have nothing to lose. If you are wrong I won’t gain anything but some charity will benefit from your donation.Please email me your name and contact so I can get the right people to draft up the full disclosure contract.

November 30, 2009 / 5:48 pm
Hi S, I am a frequent reader of Renzee’s blog. Normally I will not post anything onto her tag box. But now, I can’t help but got to ask you ‘What does her height got to do with you?’ and, ‘What benefit can Renzee get from lying to you about her real height?’ You are really weird to get upset about all this.
Passerby, well once in awhile I get people who come to my blog accusing me of the strangest things. It always surprises me how my height, weight, personal life or friends would make such a huge interest to them. And I normally let it go but I definitely do not appreciate being called a liar… Of course on the other spectrum I do have really nice readers… some of them have even become friends.
Diana
November 30, 2009 / 8:40 pm
s> i don’t know wat satisfaction you’ll gain out of proving your point right down to millimetres. does it matter? if you think karen is trying to increase her height, it won’t be for like 3cm difference. seriously get a life!!!
Diana, lol… it’s more than a 3cm difference since he/she claims I’m shorter than 1.5m. But it’ll be good money for charity if he/she does take up the challenge.
Serene
November 30, 2009 / 8:44 pm
Hi Renzze, have emailed you regarding the payments details of beaded dress. Do let me know if you did not receive my email.
Diana, The silver flats are meant for narrow and small feet… lol… but I think the owner got quite an number of feedbacks from her customers and will be looking into improving her collection… hopefully she does bigger sizes for you too.
Barley
November 30, 2009 / 9:22 pm
renzze, i love the suggestion of having the bet *lol*.
as for the “S” person, seriously i don’t know what’s ur point in posting so many comments abt someone else height.
Barley, I don’t really have much to lose and hopefully the generous donation might give S some more important life matters to think about other then some blogger’s height.

November 30, 2009 / 10:03 pm
muahahah! that s is making himself or herself look so stupid!! hahah! All the way Karen! 🙂
Wow, I’ve been away from my blog for less than a day and my tag box is flooded with comments over the issue with S. I’ve issued my statement and gonna let the matter rest… if there is any need for an answer he/she will know how to contact me. Otherwise, lets all move on from this unpleasant scenario and focus on the lovely holiday season! It’s less than a month to Christmas! I always love christmas… lets talk about everyone’s Christmas plans instead!
xiaoxin, thanks for the encouragement! We still haven’t met up for a cooking/baking session!

I am a silent reader of Karen’s blog. In this world there is some people who is envious of others success and achievement and would do anything to put the person down. What they never realise is, success comes to those who make effort in managing themselves. Karen, stay happy and forget about those who do not deserve your attention…
hey renzze, this is deebz. omg that s person is a total retard goodness. why does your height matter so much anyways? cheers. my first post at your tag board 🙂
Janice Shermaine, don’t get so riled up girl! I know you mean well and I love you for that but lets not go pointing fingers and making assumptions as well ok?
Janice Shermaine
December 1, 2009 / 10:52 am
Jie i want to say this but Jo already said it so yup what she wrote there is true some people like “S”just envious your success and achievement so she or he need to bring u down. Like what vectors n me think that “S” like stalking u, say saw u n all that. That “S” person really need to get a LIFE!
Janice Shermaine
December 1, 2009 / 11:01 am
Karen Jie’ Stay happy, stay the way u are n just go on blogging cause your blog is still <3 by all of us here! U propose a $1000 bet with proceeds going to a charity, but that "S" person is like so scare to even put the real name or email u to take on the bet. "S" has no life!
Janice Shermaine
December 1, 2009 / 11:23 am
“S” should be a girl cause she type on your tag box here in the past, i was reading your tag box msg n here is what “S” wrote: (hope to go bali next Jan to celebrate my hubby’s bday…. I wish myself happy reading and ‘envy-ing’..!)
TO:”S” u must be having a sad life that’s why u got to say other people who are better than u. u cant get the life she have! Well “S” if u saw her than why dun u just go up face to face? “S” u have nothing better to do in life but to talk about “height”! Oh, look like u still enjoy n love coming renzze blog to read because u can only read n bitch about it, u really make people look down on u cause u are being dumb here in the thing u type!
Janice Shermaine

December 1, 2009 / 8:06 pm
Hi Janice/Renzze, I had previously made comments on your tags esp during the daryl and sushi wedding and of cos about me gog to bali in Jan as what Janice has pointed out. However, although i share the same nick as the other “S” that keep harping abt your height issue, I believe u – Renzze will be abt to clear my name tat me S, is not the S who kept harassing you abt the height thinggy. I m truly innocent who happened to share the same nick as her. Hope Janice do me justice but not involving me in this issue. Thanks. **the email i included everytime at comment will able to prove my innocent. Thanks.
S, Sorry about the misunderstanding from my sister… she’s young and very defensive so do not take it to heart. As what I mentioned to the other s, it’s the hiding behind different emails and anonymous nicks that makes the accusatory tone even more vile. Anyone can assume any identity online and similar nicks especially single letter ones like yours are common. And in such a situation it’s a common mistake to jump the guns. Hopefully this will clear things up a little.
S
December 1, 2009 / 8:14 pm
Pls do not asssssssume that all the S’s comments r made by the same person. Anybody can key in the any nick and coincidence like entering the same nick does happens. But what that S claimed is not what i said..so pls dont put 2 and 2 together and put this assumption. Its rather sad to be maligned. I used the nick S becos my email and name began wif S. Hope all this clarifies and clears my name and distinct against tat S. if i m not wrong, she uses small caps whereas i used big caps!!!!!!

hi Renzze, just wanna let you know that I think you are doing a great job with your blog. I enjoyed reading it tremendously. Do not know what’s the hooha about your height [I saw you once at Chinatown and you sure am petite] but I do think you look great!! 😉 BTW, nice curls you’ve got in the picture. Did you curl it yourself?
Ing, lol… Louis is very photogenic… a natural gift.

December 2, 2009 / 7:14 pm
Hi, I have a similar pair of ballet flats from Pazzion, (really similar to the one you promoted for Xquisis!), it was painful like hell for me!! Didn’t the elastic band at the back part feel uncomfortable? I had blisters in front and at the back after wearing for just 10 mins! 🙁
wen, That’s the thing with shoes… it never really fits the same for different people cause everyone’s feet is different. Even expensive $2000 loubie heels doesn’t guarantee no blisters. For all you know a $2 flats found at a bargain bin might be the most comfortable shoe for you! In my opinion, the Xquisis silver flats is more suitable for girls with narrow feet. My most comfortable flats ranks from 1. Repetto, 2. French Sole and lastlly 3. arche but in terms of prices… they are on the higher side.
wen
December 3, 2009 / 8:03 am
Thanks for the reply 🙂 My feet is narrow too, to the extent of not having much flesh, but still suffer from blisters wearing those elastic band type of flats, those that strap to the back of our feet.. 🙁

aww…louis is really cute. u rem i told u abt my pups i got few mths bk? i still didn’t manage to toilet train them *boohoo* hence they r still not allowed to roam freely in my hse. 🙁
Barley, How old are your little puppies now? Training dogs especially a whole bunch of them takes a lot of patience and effort… I still remember how I used to take leave just to spend time training Louis when I first got him… I sacrificed my leave to be with him instead of going on holidays!

s, didn’t you say I was below 1.5m or even below 1.52 for that matter. What height range is there to bet on? How tall did you think I was? Let’s bet on that. Please email your full name, contact no, address and IC no. and I’ll get the right people to do a contract to send it to your place. We can discuss venue and other details as well. I can be contacted at renzze@gmail.com

Actually I did put up photos a long time ago of my clothes… I didn’t share with everyone on my bags, and shoes storage cause they aren’t in my walk-in wardrobe and I wasn’t too comfortable with sharing my home for the whole world to see.

Hi renzze, it’s fine. 🙂 just that I noticed that you have a lot of clothes and wonder how you
Pinky
December 19, 2009 / 11:28 am
How you manage storing your clothes, bags and shoes. I am doing spring cleaning for my room and have no idea how to organize them neatly.
JO, Hope you have a great Christmas in Penang! Unfortunately I don’t think my Penang trip photos will be ready for upload before you leave. But I’m sure you’ll have fun eating!! Gurney Drive has lots of good eats… try the 77 restaurant for curry fish head. And Hard Rock hotel could be a fun stay if you haven’t booked your hotel yet.
JO
December 22, 2009 / 2:17 pm
I will be staying at G Hotel. Would Hard Rock be a better choice? Other than the foods, what other stuffs are the “die-die” must do in Penang?
JO, My last trip was mainly for the foods but during my previous trips I’ve been to Penang, I’ve done snorkeling at Pulau Payar Marine Park, went to Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple, had water activities at Batu Feringhi Beach, fishing at Monkey Beach, visited their butterfly farm and botanic gardens ( be careful of the fierce monkeys!)

Greetings from Penang, Karen! i just thought i drop by your page to tell u that the weather here is good. We did some sightseeing and LOVE the food at Gurney Drive Hawker Centre! Think the overweight wont come from my luggage but from my over eating! haha! Have you heard of Bali Hi for seafood?
Sounds fantastic! Yes I tend to over eat a lot whenever I’m in Malaysia. I’ve been to Bali Hai once some time ago… they are famous for their live seafood and have a huge selection! It’s pretty good but I only went there once cause I’m allergic to seafood so it’s not a place for me.
Merry Christmas dear! Hope you are having a good time! Send my regards to your family and bf. =)

Gosh, I don’t remember how much I paid anymore. As for sunblock, I’m currently using Fancl one for normal days… when I go for beach holidays or lots of outdoor activities I’d use a stronger one.

Nicole, LOL… the photos were taken at the groomers actually! I realized that the TOP they used to wash their rags were very prominent in the photo too!

hi renzze, what software do you use to make video and slides show?
I have more boots then I could possibly wear these days so I tend to buy only when I spot nice onces overseas or if there’s a sale. The club 21 sale is usually a good place to stock up. Japan also has a great range of boots. You can consider getting a cheap pair from FEP or charles and keith then shop for more when you are in Tokyo. Those without heels are better for holidays with a lot of walking involved.

hi renzze, i stumbled across your blog recently and now i can’t stop reading it! and i love all your pictures! may i know which camera you use because i’m thinking of getting a new point-and-shoot camera soon. thank u! =D
JL & Angie, I’ve got both a canon 500D DSLR as well as a canon ixus 860IS… as you can see I’m pretty much a Canon fan when it comes to camera. My point and shoot camera is actually pretty outdated already and I was considering the Panasonic LX3 cause I’ve tried it and it’s pretty good. But I’m holding my purchase till a better version comes out cause I don’t need a new camera just yet.
The photos are a little mix of both… DSLR takes really good depth photos but a compact makes more sense for activities or when I don’t want to put my bulky and sensitive DSLR in any possible harm. I’m trying to take more photos with the DSLR these days though.

Hehe it was certainly one helluva experience! Will respond to your note once I get past the Great Firewall (guess where I am!) – I think we avid travellers can do more to exchange tips!
Wow! You’re in Paris of the East? Weather has picked up over the weekend. There are sales for lovely winter items going on. You can consider stocking up since you travel so often. =P
Ivy, Yes it was really cold when I first got there… about 1 – 2 C but it picked up the last few days though it should be getting colder again the next few days. I won’t be shopping much since it is more of a sightseeing and visiting friends kinda trip for me. But I do want to make a nice chongsum for CNY!

hi renzze! what camera are you using? super nice photos! 🙂
EP, the last time I retouched my perm was in Japan. It’s digital perm… I’ve actually put up the address here several times before… if you need it let me know.

thanks for the great info about hotels in Taiwan! I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I visit Taiwan! 🙂
I don’t really shop at one specific place… just buy whenever something catches my eyes… usually when I’m travelling. I also like to shop online at ASOS and at ClubCouture… you can find the image link above.
Claire, I am currently changing my skincare routine… am experimenting with some new stuff so if it works well, I’ll see some results in 2 months time and I’ll share it on my blog.

Hi Renzze,
I by chance came across your blog & find it very interesting!
Your photos were all well taken!
Do you mind to share what brand are your fake lashes? And any good tips for putting them on? I tried couple of times but the edges always poke into my eyes despite that I’ve trimmed it to the right length. Tia!
Angel, thanks for compliments. I am currently using fake lashes that I bought at the drugstores in Japan. Different brands but I find their quality to be quite good and more affordable then the MAC ones I used to buy. For putting on lashes… practice makes perfect… try not to put it to close to the inner edge of your eye if you find that it pokes into your eye.

Hi Renzze, i have been reading and enjoying your blog for ages, just had been lazy to drop a comment. Am shocked to learn that you don’t put on powder at all. Your complexion must be darn good and I am happy to hear that. Took a grooming course years ago and the groomer says good complexion and well-shaped eyebrows are the keys to a fresh face. So, you might want to consider shaping your eyebrows now since good complexion is the HARDEST to achieve and you already have that. =)
Charmaine, I’m glad you decided to comment. It’s always nice to know what my readers are thinking… or else this blog would be a one way street and not as fun! I generally don’t have much problems with my complexion so for the past 20+ years, my skin care routine has be really simple and organic. However, now that I’m approaching my 30s, fine lines have started to appear and frequent travels has made some of my nose pores enlarged. As such I’ve taken a friend’s advise and am trying a couple of new regiments. Meanwhile for the next month or so, I’m expected to have terrible skin as part of the renewal process. I will blog about it when the results have shown itself. I’ve also heard the importance of eyebrows and I’m ashamed to say I mostly don’t pay much attention mine at all. I don’t shape nor draw my bros… maybe when I have the time I might consider learning more so that I can shape my brows cause having to go to a salon to get them shaped is just time I don’t have on my hands these days.

I have fine lines too though i am a couple of yrs younger than you. =( by the way, one thing i have always been wondering abt you is the amt you travel. how do you take time off from work???
Charmaine, I am lucky to be able to arrange my time but usually when I’m overseas I’m also submitting reports or coordinating meetings via laptop, BB or iphone. I’m really amazed how technology has changed the way we work.
Charmaine

You are lucky to be in a flexible company with a flexible boss then. I hold a deskbound job! =(
Hi, I love your blogs and pictures. I was wondering what kind of camera you use for your pictures? SLR? I have a d60 but it doesn’t take such photos compared to yours. Thanks!!
Huuaaat ah!! Happy CNY! Hehe was also sorting out some additional photos of my African jamoboree over the weekend with friends (check out the aerial views of the Falls)!
plan, yes like most of my trips, this Taiwan trip was free and easy. I don’t like being on holiday with a tight schedule.

Hi!may i know how many days ya spent in tw???is it a free and easy trip?hmmm…I’m planning for my vacation but don’t know how to draft out my trip flow…hmmm… -.-
Jen, I don’t remember exactly cause I’ve been moving around too much these few months but it was definitely more than a week… maybe 9 to 10 days. It’s free and easy and other then deciding to go to Hualian, I actually didn’t plan much before the trip… kinda played it by ear.

I swear by Shida Night Market there imho they got the best food around. There’s also this no-name xiao longbao stall thats way better than Din Tai Fung too! I know how to get there but dunno how to tell you directions LOL!
Kanos, lol… a lot of my free and easy are planned casually when I’m already in the country… it’s important to be really flexible and not be too pressurized.
Kanos
February 27, 2010 / 12:15 am
Actually free and easy can be tiring to plan and the general rule of thumb is not to crowd days with too many activities. One in the morning and one in the afternoon is plenty 🙂 How’s the SA planning / thinking coming along btw Renzze? 😛

hi. Understand u just back fm Taiwan. Was it very cold then? I’m going in late Mar-Early Apr. Any suggestions on what to wear there? 🙂 thks!
passerby, I’m not too sure how to advise you on what to wear as the weather these days are a little unpredictable all over the world. The weather in March/April should be in the 22-25C range so a good jacket should be enough to keep you warm in the evenings. I’m not sure if it’ll still be drizzling but you can always buy an umbrella there.

Hi hi Karen! Would appreciate if you cud share with me the name of the stylist @ Cutti Hair Salon that attended to ur sis! Thks much!
Hi Karen, do you think you still have the add for the bakery for your chanel cake in yr 2009 and ur sis 21st birthday cake in ramen? I wanted to buy 1 for my mother. Hope to hear from you soon.
If you read back on my older posts, I mentioned I stayed at Rainbow hotel and even provided some photos of the place. Nothing great though it’s cheap and location is good. In Beitou you can try Spring City Resorts.

I love Yeh Liu too! Its just so beautiful! And don’t the rocks remind you of our Geography lessons and Mr Tam teaching us about their formations!! hahaha!
Haha I didn’t remember till you mentioned it! But yes our learning of rock formation does help increase the marvel we feel when we finally see nature first hand.
For normal days I don’t actually apply anything. For evening affairs I’ll use cape hairspray and for day time casual I just tried out tony and guy’s twist it curl balm and it’s not bad.

March 17, 2010 / 10:24 pm
Thanks Karen, just wanted to check, u mentioned that you bought the toroko express tickets online, but i think the website mentions that you need to pick it up within 5 days, so did you only book the tickets when you were in Taiwan?
Celynn, I booked it in Singapore and paid by card so I could collect it on the day itself. I think if you want to pay via cash you have to pick it up earlier.

March 24, 2010 / 4:57 pm
hi! may i know where you bought the Tai Yang Bing or Honey Malt Sunny Pie from taiwan?
jAded, lol… pimping dogs don’t get you advertorial opportunities and if you think that taking care and loving dogs over their lifespan of a good 10- 15 years would bring you any perks other then the love and companionship they give you then you might want to get to know dog owners better. Having dogs are a little like having children. You love them and slog for them and you can’t help finding them cute or take photos and sharing them with family and friends but at the end of the day it’s a lot of hard work and commitment and those who uses their pets in hope of advertorials are seriously deluded.
Ley, If I’m lazy or in a hurry, I twist my curls in several strands and air dry. If I have time I’ll dry them slowly with a round brush and a hair dryer. I’m currently trying out TIGI’s twist and curl balm.

shan shan, I’m gonna give you the approximate price of the garden tote in Singapore cause I bought mine in Paris and a couple of years ago already and Hermes prices are always rising! The size I carry is the medium size and canvas onces are about 2.5K now while full leather ones are 3.5K

How do u find driving in sg? I personally fine it very stressful. I salute u know the routes so well to good eating places like joo chiat and geylang. I get stressed up when it comes to parrallel parking at busy roads.
Pinky, Singapore is quite a small island so it’s easier to remember the routes… besides when it comes to driving, practice makes perfect. I don’t really get too stressed driving in Singapore though I do find that after driving in Singapore I don’t have an issue driving elsewhere. Maybe cause space is abundant and pace of life is slower in some overseas locations that make it more enjoyable to drive.

nice to see the post of a picture with u. nice to know u!!!
I’ve been following your blog for quite some times and this is the first time I decided to comment sth – because of your CD heels! Good buy and smart to no wait for your Paris trip hehe… Keep up the good work 😉
MichelleYourReader, Thanks for reading and validating my impulse purchase! LOL… but it’s been so easy to match this pair that it’s currently my favorite go-to heel.
MichelleYourReader
April 14, 2010 / 5:16 pm
Is it painful wearing it? It’s very high – at least 4 inches? I’m also a high-heels addict.
MichelleYourReader, the best part of the shoe for me is that it doesn’t hurt at all! I guess the front part is also elevated so it makes the heels less steep and thus more comfortable. Still I won’t recommend wearing this heel to drive!
ivy, it’s near the “Everything with Fries” store which is at 458 Joo Chiat Road. I can’t remember the address of the taiwanese shop itself but there’s a huge smelly toufu sign outside.

Hahaha….I really sux at typing on the iphone while walking. You can’t imagine the ridiculous typos I’ve made… this one is actually not too bad since most pple could still figure out what I was referring to.

April 21, 2010 / 1:37 pm
Hi Pretty, the dress you wore for yr colleague’s wedding dinner is pretty. R u selling? 🙂
Classy, I tend to put on sale only the more casual buys on my blog cause my cocktail or work dresses usually ranges above $200 to $800 and it wouldn’t be wise to invest so much without being able to try it on.
Kanos, I’m hold both a BB and iphone actually. I prefer the BB and definitely type much better on the go with the keypad so I use if for work while the iphone is for leisure and surfing the net.

Hi there, the dresses that you wore to the Nike launch and your waxing appointment at Strip were lovely…just wondered if you could share where you got them from, or if you have plans to sell those pieces? Have a lovely weekend!
Carolien, Gosh! I don’t remember how much it is anymore but it’s definitely not more expensive then most salons in Singapore. It depends on how long your hair is as well.

d, if you are referring to the LC I was carrying in “Darmi’s Birthday” post, it’s not white but rather the whole bag is a light dusty pink. I bought it in Paris very recently.
Hi! Can you share with me the reasons you chose Birkin 25? I’m now agonising over Birkin 25/30/35 or a 30 Lindy or or 32 Kelly? Arrrghhh… *a very confused gal* will appreciate your thoughts, pls. 🙂
They all have their good and bad points and I know it’ll be a difficult choice. Mine was an anniversary gift so I didn’t have to go through that thought process.

Hi Renzze, can i know where do you bring your dogs to for their vets trip? jabs and all?
Kelvin would be a fantastic person to get advise from as he’s a wonderful photographer. As mentioned by him, the location depends on what sort of photos and tone you are looking to set.
Kelvin
May 26, 2010 / 3:48 pm

May 26, 2010 / 4:36 pm
Hi Karen! How are you feeling now? You must have taken less rest, that’s why you are having flu that need longer time to get recovered. Take sufficient sleep and drink plenty of water. Get some vit c to build up your immune system. Say like orange? Have orange only after you recover from flu, will be the best! Take care and God bless you! 🙂
Ling

hi Kelvin, is not a fashion/clothing shoot..
and don’t want it to be a crowded place during daytime
Kelvin
May 27, 2010 / 2:08 pm
Karen – haha thanks for your extremely positive comments!
Ling – Its best to shoot from 7am – 10am at most as it gets too hot thereafter. Location wise, you must decide a theme first. You can shoot at reservoirs, parks, amongst lallangs, beaches, gardens or in built up areas like Chinatown, Little India etc. All depends on what you want.

May 27, 2010 / 2:08 pm
Sheesh…my condolences…I’ll drop your hubby a message now.
Hi Renzze, I realise the jeans u wore are usually very flateering. May i know what cutting is that and where do you usually get your jeans? I’m actually as petite as you. 🙂
I’m very much a fan of canon cameras. For compact cameras, I’m currently using the Canon S90.

Hey Karen, how are you? I must agree with you Ivins still has the best peranakan cuisine. Do try the Dulukala restaurant on level 4 of Beauty World, pretty good too! xx
I’m assuming you are referring to the pink and white one I took for my Penang trip and not the mickey mouse one I brought for my last KL trip. I bought that in Japan near Ueno for about SGD300+

hi, what’s the software you use to highlight colour only for the iphone but surrounding area black n white? its so nice!
The green fruit is custard apple is i am not wrong. ANd the purple flower gave out very nice blue colour when its being soaked in water. Used to make nonya kuek.
I work on a project basis and when I’m in the midst of a project I can easily work more than 14hours a day and have no off days or weekends so when one project is done I’d easily collected quite a number of off days. Besides I travel for work at times too.

Karen, Honeymoon desserts is available at Vivo City, Level 1 near to Awfully Chocolates.
Kanos, sounds like a theme park!!! Yup the sushi isn’t great which was what I was lamenting about. I think my photos made them even nicer then they were in real life.
Hi Karen, I remember asking you about your cam. You are using a Canon 500D right? May I know what lens are you using, cos your pics are very nice & rich in color, especially those taken in Orchard Rd at nite 🙂
Yes I’m using the Canon 500D and the Canon S90. Canon cameras, especially the ones with the newer systems tend to always produce rather rich colors. The night photos at Orchard Rd were taken with the Canon 500D using the basic kit lens.
I got it at a candy store in Ximending. It’s opposite the watson store and sells lots of cute candies and chocs. There are 2 watsons stores in the XMD area… the one I’m referring to is the smaller one.

Hi Karen, can I ask where are the places to shop in S. Korea? Thanks!
Thanks. Actually, a lot of my photos on my blog are not so current and my perm has seriously died down already! I’m waiting for my next trip to Japan so I can go perm it again! I think you should keep your hair long for your AD but don’t perm or rebond till after so that your MUA can work her magic on you! She can give you a change of styles with straight hair or curled hair with tongs.
I don’t stay at B & B in London so I can’t help you out there but for shopping you can go Oxford St, Bond St, Covent Gardens, Knightsbridge and Portobello Market. Of course Harrods is probably as iconic a shopping center as you would get in London:)

Thank you renzze for your reply & advice.I also think of perming my hair in japan during my honeymoon trip.:)Any recommendation salon?Maybe after u done wif yr new perm can share with me the info.
Currently my hair is already rather straight. But I’ll be posting up my Japan pictures from my trip earlier this year so you can see my perm then. The addy is
I was carrying the Louis Vuitton Monogram Scuba MM from the 2009 cruise collection. It comes in fushia and orange but it’s no longer available in the stores. You can see a better picture of the bag here http://www.savvymode.com/2009/01/louis-vuitton-scuba-tote.html
The LV Scuba MM tote is such a good investment. Roomy and adjustable. And waterproof for unpredictable rain. The Fuschia adds a dash of colour to the wintery season. Great choice. I am loving it but guess I am too late. Will wait for other releases of the same nature.
Hyatt Regency Kyoto is near Kyoto station but it’s not a ryokan. I’ve not stayed at a ryokan in Kyoto before but I had intended to try out Hiiragiya Ryokan which is 15mins away from Kyoto JR Station. Unfortunately, they were full during the period I was in Kyoto. This is their address
Nakahakusancho, Fuyacho Anekoji-agaru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto 604-8094, Japan
Hi Karen, came across your blog while researching for Tokyo trip! Ur post on Inyashi No Sato Nenba, i saw a familiar face, is the lady beside you a guide in Japan, Shelly?
I wasn’t there in August. My trip photos are usually backdated because I travel so much it’s hard to find time to blog and post photos. I was there in Spring actually 🙂
I use picasa to crop then photoshop to collage it. Previously I have used several scrapbooking programs that could do the same thing but I lost them when I reformatted my comp so now I just use photoshop.

Met Shelly when i was in Japan last year. She was my guide then. What a tiny world. Looking at your photos, spurred me to go to Japan again.
Hi Kanos! How have you been? I will definitely give Ryokan Motonago a try the next time round. Do they need extensive pre booking?

I’ve yet to do any of my Korea trips on my blog as they have always been for work or with people that are a little to shy to share their photos on my blog. Korea is great for sightseeing and shopping and it’ll be nice to go in autumn to Jeju island.

Hi Renzze, been following ur blog for quite some times and know that u have been travel to Bali for several times, can you advice me on nice hotels/foods/activities to be done for first timer travelling there? I will be going there for 5 days 4 nights. tia! 🙂
There are many great accommodations in Bali so it all boils down to your budget. As for activities, I think the must do for first timers is to visit Tanah Lot and Uluwatu temple and try out the white water rafting. But Bali has so much more to offer so just browse through my bali posts to see what else you can do. You can see all of them if you click Indonesia under my categories found on my sidebar. 🙂

Hi Renzze, have been reading your blog. I am travelling to France, Switzerland in Dec. Just wondering where u got your beautiful trenchcoats and boots? Are there any places I can get nice affordable boots, coats in SGP?
I tend to buy my coats and boots when I’m overseas as they have a wider selection. Locally, you can try Zara or MNG when it’s the fall or winter collection.

Hi renzze, can you let me know where you bought your clothes in korea. Thanks!!!
My photos are not so current. Tokyo weather now should be perfect! Not too warm and not to cold… I suspect it should be air-con room temperature of 25C. Do bring a jacket for the winds though.
wendy
September 10, 2010 / 9:12 am
I went Tokyo around this timing before, it was very hot, even when I wore just a spaghetti-strap top. Definitely not like air-con temp.
Ryokan Motonago is rather small – so best to book about a month in advance – they speak good english there so language isn’t a barrier. Its not the kind of place to be boisterous but to take in the serene surroundings. Do give it a try and let me know how it goes!
I will let you know after I give Ryokan Montonago a try though I don’t think it’ll be anytime soon since my schedule is currently overflowing! My Kobe beef was about the same cost. Do let me know where I can go for yours. And the banana jello thing is nice! Too bad it’s supposed to be an energy jelly so I can’t take too much of it if I’m not exercising!
Kanos
September 15, 2010 / 12:30 am
Hey how much did that Kobe beef cost? Hit me up for a good Kobe beef recommendation in Kyoto – costs $47 per head for lunch which is damn. worth. it.
Kanos
September 15, 2010 / 12:31 am
OOh I like that banana jello thing too!
Kanos
September 17, 2010 / 9:30 pm
Kobe beef place is called Mikaku. And if you stay in Motonago give the kaiseki meal a try – its worth it. Hehe I eat that jello thing while traipsing the streets of Japan so its considered exercise! Where to next?
Kanos, Thanks for the wealth of info! I’m supposed to be in London but I have to stick around to sort out some work and personal matters so I too am not too sure when I’ll leave next.

Sorry to disappoint but I won’t be selling my stuff this time round… have been giving it away to close friends and family. My Longchamp is also not for sale.

September 28, 2010 / 6:40 pm
Is ear muffs effective in keeping the ears from cold? How about winds? Is it troublesome to wear one?
Ear muffs have been pretty useful to me. So are woolen caps! I don’t really find it troublesome to keep them on even when there are winds if the size is right.
I haven’t had the time to do sales so I don’t think there will be one anytime soon. I won’t be letting go of my longchamps as I keep them as a collection.

hey renzze love ur curls!!! make me want to curl mine too.. but seems like i have to grow my hair really long in order to achieve yr kind of hair style? Is it very hard to maintain it? and how much did it cost for the perm? Thanks!! 🙂
Thanks. Usually, the longer the hair the nicer the curls seem to come out. The curls aren’t hard to maintain but long hair is harder to maintain as the ends tend to become dry easily. I can’t remember how much my perm cost but it was less than $200 for cut, perm and blow dry due to some promotion.

Hi Renzze, may i know when did u went to China… izit last Nov… wat is the temperature when u were there? Thanks
I don’t have one specific place where I buy my winter clothings. Most of them were bought and accumulated as I travel from country to country. But I do have to say that Korea and japan have very pretty and warm winter wear.

Hi renzze i’m going to shanghai next mth Nov 25 – 30 .. can share with me , what is MUST bring , MUST eat , MUST buy ? I like boots , where did u bought it from ?
I’m not too sure about Shanghai’s temperature in November but I will expect it to be about 17c which is still pretty good weather. Boots, jeans, jackets and scarfs are always great for the fall season.

hi babe i love yr curls do u tong yr hair everyday?
I don’t have the patience nor the time to tong my hair everyday so it’s usually permed. But my hair has lost it’s bounce recently so I’m looking to go perm it again once I have a day to spare.
Well, I injured my toe recently so no far trips for me this month… Probably just head to a nearby SEA country. But I would be starting to post up my Paris photos by the end of this month.

where do you usually shop for clothes in singapore?
To be honest I don’t shop all that much in Singapore… I tend to shop whenever I chance on something so I don’t have a regular place. I do get clothing online from clubcouture, shopbop, f21 and Asos so you could give them a look see.

Hi renzze , may I know where did you buy ur dress u wore on sushi ultrascan? Thank You 🙂
Congrats on getting your birkins!! Lady luck is really shining brightly! Can you please share your experience in hunting the birkins? need to play games with the sales exec? TIA! 🙂
Thanks! I wouldn’t say I’m experienced in hunting down birkins. I usually check in the stores every day when I’m in Paris. I’ll let the SA know what colors I’m looking for and how long I’ll be in town so they could give me a ring if they happen to spot the few colors I shortlisted for them during my stay. Black birkins are usually easier to get.

Hey, its only the toe! 😛 SEA country eh? I’m trying to see if I can head to one of those SEA countries next month for a lantern festival!
Haha… I know! But end year means there will always a lot of work, a lot of weddings and a lot of parties to attend back in Singapore so it’ll just be short trips for me till maybe early next year!

Hi Renzze, may i know where did u bought the brooch with the black feather n bird. Thanks.
Haven’t heard from you in awhile! How are you? Their Mac has been specially catered to the more food conscience French palate. I guess Singapore do have our local specials from time to time as well… such as the beef prosperity burger they churn out during CNY!

i will be gg tokyo next week, may i know where did u get your hair permed at? Roughly how much do they charge for colouring of hair and also perming? Thanks a lot
I wasn’t there during December but in October/November period. It was cool and not too cold yet but it was rather wet and rainy on some days. I don’t remember the exact temperature already.

Hi Karen, may I know what software you using for those video that you post on your blog? And also, where did you get the turquoise chong sum from? thanks 🙂
I’m sorry but I don’t really travel on an itinerary because I visit Paris every once in awhile so I don’t always need to see the same places and would go wherever I felt like going on that day. Hopefully my insights to the different locations can help you decide what you would be interested in visiting when you are there.

Hey!. I like reading your posts. May I know where did you get the white coat with gold buttons you wore to Japan Disneyland?
I love all your photos, there are all so well taken. May I know what cameras do you use? I believe many have asked you the same question, but I would really appreciate it for you to get back to me.
I’m using 3 cameras for the photos on my blog. For DSLR, I’m using Canon 500D. For compact, I’m using the Canon S90 (now they have the S95) and for underwater pictures I’m using Panasonic DMC-FT2.

Hi, I love your blog and I realised that you are very well traveled. I was wondering if you know how much a Chanel 2.55 (Double C logo) costs in France? I am looking at the Jumbo or Medium size.
Thanks. I’m not too sure what the current prices are and whether you are asking for lambskin or caviar prices. But the last time I bought, lambskin med is E$1930 and Jumbo E$2200. This is before VAT.

Hi Renzze, may I know if you coloured ur hair first den permed it or vice versace? Did u colour ur hair at the Shibuya salon as well ie did colouring & perming in one setting?
You should perm first before coloring. If you do it the other way round, you might lose the original color that you intended. I didn’t do my coloring and perming in one sitting. Can’t stand the length of time but I’m sure they would be able to accommodate such requests.

I love the white top ur fren is wearing.. any idea where isit from?
Must you talk about your friends so lovingly when according to so many reliable sources from so a handful of people, they are actually not very nice people? Just in case you’re wondering, these people were not jealous or bitching about them. They are credible people. Maybe friendship is really blind and you love your friends for who they are, great flaws and all. That’s the beauty of friendship.
Friendship is about loving and accepting the person for who they are, flaws and all. There are always 2 sides to a coin for humans are not one dimensional. I’m against the concept of elitist. I believe every person has a good side and a not so nice one… including you. Friendship is not blind, you go into it with your eyes open and you still love your friends for who they are. With great anonymity comes no accountability so “credible” your people are really stands for nothing in this instance.

And just a thought, do you go round acknowleging all your friends’ babies as godchildren? How about having your own? Are you family-commitment phobe or you prefer jetsetting around the world in luxury items instead of planning a family? I happen to sit nearby in a cafe when you were with your friends. You do not talk with substance and your voice was really loud and filling the whole place. Really, what class and oh-so-nice on your blog, quite unlike what I witness. email is a sham. You can reply in defence here instead.
I don’t know what you have been reading (or why you are even reading) but I have only stated one of my friend’s kid, Little Andre as my godson. I think it’ s a privilege to have your friends requesting you as a godparent to guide their child and not something to be shunned from. As for my own little nest, I do wonder if being a mother of 3 or none at all would make a difference to helping you sleep better at night. (And in case you are interested in my private lives, my whole family do sleep really soundly.) Anyhow, must one be dictated by others or society pressures on when they should have kids? Wouldn’t being able to raise your children to be respectful of others and to mind their own business be more critical then the age of which to have them. I’m not even 30 yet, does not having kids now make me commitment- phobic? As you said, your email is a sham, stop hiding behind the skirt of a floating IP address to give yourself courage to be meddling in strangers private affairs. Oh, my blog actually auto categories fake emails as spam but I manually approved your comments so you could have a chance to say something in this newly bred generation of cowards.

Trudy, I thank you on Karen’s behalf for such constructive criticism. You must care for us a great deal to be able to post such wonderfully detailed pieces of comments as well as create a multitude of scam email addresses just to make your thoughts heard. We heard you alright. I’m not going to go into details and do the cliched thing of trying to defend our acts and curse back at you. Karen shared this with me, as she seldom gets flamers like you spamming her space, we talk about you in jest, of course with me bitching and gossiping about you no less (you and your credible sources did mention we are a bunch of bad, bad people didn’t you? no need to go there again do we?) I can only imagine that you understand your own friends through other ‘credible’ sources rather than actually getting to know them. Do take care of your mental health, it must be horrid to find out how disappointing the world is. I suggest , maybe you’d want to take some time away from your PC creating aliases to flame her blog, eavesdropping on other people’s conversations in public and actually try to make real, flesh blood and bone friends to bitch with? I recommend Starbucks, it’s a great place to meet people. You don’t have to direct your subsequent bitching at Karen, she will not retaliate because she is too nice a person. I’m the bitch who likes to speak up for our friends, whether they are crappy people or not. You can direct them to me at Clarahnails@gmail.com or Clarahnails.com, maybe create a few more accounts to spam my site! I shudder, and clasp my hands in delight to receive your comments and criticisms!

December 1, 2010 / 6:45 pm
Omg! I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding Trudy! You actually have a friend!!! Oh how could I have made such a grievous mistake. Oh forgive me will you? Again, forgive Karen and gang for being empty receptacles making a lot of noise in public, I’m not sure if I was there that day but i admit i am too, capable of laughing/braying like a donkey in public. Sorry for offending you in that respect, unfortunately when normal, healthy, well-functioning girls get excited at the latest luxury shoe, bag launches, or hot gossip, or imagining what we’d do/say to people like you, we get a tad bit excited and tend to raise voices a little. Sort of like, akin to when you get excited about bad girls like us, have trouble expressing, and you spew your verbal vomit all over this site. 😀 Feels good to open up doesn’t it? So don’t hesitate to open up more, i know how stifling our society is, and many girls out there like to keep to themselves, hence forming many mental problems. Karen is a very good clinical psychologist/researcher. Talk to our team. We can help you. 😀 We can give you an initial discount of 2-for-the price of 1. (This excludes compulsory admin fees and other miscellaneous admin charges like responding to your comments)

Clara you have misunderstood me. I do not refer to you about her friends and I have not created a multitude of emails to let my voice be heard. If Karen can see my email add, she would know what it is. I’m saying dat email is a sham as I typed something in the email box just to let my comment true. Other than this, I have only posted here with 1 email add. So now it seems there are more people thinking like me and you assume it’s all from me? You have unknowingly revealed that there are more people thinking the same way as me. You can think that it’s all the same person me. But me being me, I know I didn’t leave any more comments other than this.

Yes Trudy, we all know that your email is a sham and whatever you say here has to believed because you are not hiding anything. I haven’t had a flamer on my blog in a few years and 3 mins before my blog recorded your comment. I had a concern email telling me that I need open my eyes and that my friends aren’t good for me. That email also stated that the address is a sham and cannot be replied to. Coincidence? Maybe… but either way, a generation of cowards have blossomed. No wonder Singapore is the 2nd highest in the world for cyber bullying. My blog is a venue for my thots. Don’t like it, don’t read it. Unhappy? Vent on your own blog. No need to get my friends riled up.

Karen I really really do not want to embarrass anyone by starting to give names. You may say I’m no better than anonymous or passer-by but at least I gave a name you can relate to and pardon me if I sound rude. I was really shocked by the way you talk in public: loud voice filling the whole cafe and the shallow content of your dialogue. I never quite expect anyone so petite and demure on her blog to be like that. I have to say I don’t have anything against you when reading your blog but after telling some people what I saw with my own eyes about you and your friends, I begin to hear more stuff about you ladies. I agree with you about friendship as I’ve already said previously. I do accept my friends for who they are, good or bad. But I do not lie about things that are not.

I do accept my friends for who they are, good or bad. But I do not lie about things that are not. Sorry if I have misunderstood you about godchildren. I thought I read before you visited your godson or godaughter quite some time back. May be I read wrongly. You are right, it’s none of my business whether you want a brood or you prefer your bags, clothes and shoes over raising a kid. It won’t matter to me so I won’t ask about it anymore. Nevertheless, I’m sure you know why I raised this point.
All comments come into my emails and most of them are auto-spammed especially emails that are fakes. I manually override approval of your comments so as to give you a voice. But I do hope that you do get your facts before judging people you don’t really know personally and imposing your opinion on them. Of course if you are willing to come out of safe hiding to let us know who you are, we’ll respect your opinions a lot more. Most people write blogs for various reasons, for friends, for passion, to share their ideas. Most blogs are not diaries so to judge a person for a blog is like reading a magazine and believing everything it says. Same goes for hearsay, I’m sure we all know that there’s no way to truly judge someone unless you know them. As for kids, I hope you don’t go around to other people blogs asking those same questions. A friend of mine who also travels a lot and writes a blog has problems having kids. Such insensitive questions without personally knowing the person or even truly having any sort of goodwill or intentions for asking can be very hurtful. If you don’t mind I would like all these to stop here and now.

There are 3 camps when it comes to ‘exposing’ your private life online. The first, fans. I don’t think i need to elaborate on those who are genuine followers with a genuine liking for the blog. The second, the neutral, those who read, might have thoughts but don’t really give a damn. Just read and move on with life. And then there is the third camp, which you and some others belong in. You read, you dislike, and you comment, which I don’t blame. There are blogs I read too and look at them with pure disgust. But I don’t see a need to launch personal attacks on a girl who is sharing her life with people who appreciate and like to know. It’s informative, she helps however she can to whomever asks her questions because she’s well travelled, well educated and well read. You launch attacks on her and her friends based on your camp of friends who happen to bump into her catching her at a time where she’s gotten excited over something bimbotic, and discussing their shallow understanding of her friends, comparing that to an impression you’ve formed out of taking her image you built in your mind, taken things a little out of context? Haven’t you had that moment too? I think most girls have. Sorry to digress, I’m not sure what your intention is, telling her for her own good (but concealing who the people are for fear of embarrassing them) or? Who are you trying to protect? I’m confused at your contradiction. Or are you just saying it for the sake of magnifying gossip you’ve heard? I know Karen personally and I take offense to what you’ve said. What’s wrong with talking about friends lovingly? Do you have intimacy issues? What’s wrong with jet setting round the world buying things you can afford to buy? Don’t you have personal self-indulgences? The only reason why Karen’s blog interests many is because she’s chosen a lifestyle out of the ordinary, she’s worked hard to do so and she’s sharing with people who want to look at the world through her eyes.

Hi, Love the recap on LG’s entries post, esp the one with Louis and ur frens!^^ Anyhoo, re the recent blog flamming incident, ur life is urs and no one esle. Live it the way u want to and no one shld judge.
Although i don’t know Karen personally, she’s really helpful whenever I ask her for some help. Having babies are sometimes not in the control of the couple and I think this is a very personal issue that even parents try not to question. When a group of friends get together its just normal that we will make noise and we don’t always talk about politics or stuff with substance. We just want to relax and have fun. chill~ a blog is full of words and photos which may give mis-conception of a person but I think you shouldn’t judge someone outright with what’s on his/her blog that you THINK might be the way this really is in real life.
but I think you should not judge a person outright with what you BELIEVE/THINK that person is from what you see/read..

Thx Renzze! Btw I think u’re handling the whole unpleasant situation very well. I think that in itself speaks for your character.
Hi Renzze, i really like your curls. is there any styling gel you used to keep it bouncy and curly( like the pic in Clara’s birthday party 2010) is there any special technique you used compared to the rest of the day? Thanks much for your time for reading. 🙂
In the earlier photos, my hair was actually longer as I’ve had it cut significantly shorter recently. My hair is permed and how bouncy and defined my curls are depends a lot on blowdrying. The drier the hair, the more define the curls are. But if I choose to air dry or only partially blow dry before heading out, my curls will be weighed down and be less curled. I’m currently impressed with L’oreals Play Ball Curl Candy Defining Gel Cream as it works really well defining and maintaining my curls.

Hi karen, can you rbr approx how much does the hair cut at Cutti in Taipei, Ximending cost? I am planning to go there and want to get a haircut as well. =)
I find it too much of a hassle to sell my clothes nowadays because of my busy schedule. So I usually give them to my close friends/family and donate the rest to charity instead. I have much less time to blog in 2011 but I will try my best to keep the blog going. Hope you have a nice 2011 too!
It depends on which trip as I’ve been Paris several times. Here are the 3 hotels I’ve stayed in – Le Méridien Etoile, Le Claridge Champs-Elysees Fraser Suites Apartments and L’Empire Paris Hotel.

Hi Karen, you mentioned that you donate your clothes to charities.. May I know which charity organisation accepts clothes? I have a couple of clothes to donate as well. Thanks!
The Salvation Army has collection booths for you to leave your clothes and from Sept to Nov, the YMCA accepts clothes for their annual market. If you have children’s clothes or toys, you can also donate to Pertapis Children’s Home. Around my estate, the maids sometimes collect pre-loved clothes to select from and send back to their families.

Hi Karen.. Greeting from Canada. I just accidentally found your lovely blog today. I seriously love your style of fashion 🙂
YSL makeup also cheaper in paris? 1 more qn, do you know if I travel to Paris but flying back frm Amsterdam, can i still get VAT rebate at AMS airport?
I believe that YSL makeup is cheaper in Paris. I’ve usually made Paris my last stop in my Europe travels so that I don’t have to lug my purchases around my travels so I don’t know if you can get your VAT at AMS. However, you can always validate your VAT at CDG when you take your flight from Paris to AMS.

I bought those rain boots in Japan. If you are looking to buy boots in Singapore, you can actually try out chain store brands like MNG, Topshop or Zara during the right seasons as their prices are pretty decent for the quality of boots.

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Exceptional work!

Thanks Karen! I really love ur dogs! You seem to have lots of fun with them. Pity my mum won’t let me rear one cos she’s scared of them. 🙁
Having dogs is a lot of commitment… you can always have a pet when you are living on your own next time =)

clara – you are definitely being loved… i don’t think having enough love is the issue in your case…
OMG only 4 out of 10 lines!!!!fail le laaaa
renzze elaine din say it in a nice manner fr what I last heard, more of implying snooty and ott.
truth – Gosh… I might be slow to warm up but that’ll be pretty sad miscommunication if that was her impression… Still I’m not one to jump to conclusions unless I hear it from the horse’s mouth… especially since I do think she’s a lovely girl… No offense to you… =)
Er… TO WHO DID I TELL THAT TO AH??? I dun even rem telling anyone else i saw them except by writing it in my blog..? Weird… (-__-)”
tsk tsk…i din know i had an alter ego…
hugs hugs …love you..
elaine73 – no worries… no harm was done.

chic* – dun like tat la… I do call you back ma…
wow the dress looks great.. im sure u din regret spending ur very last few bucks on it hahahaa..
Chic* – Ya! The buys we had at BKK was all so worthwhile! Should have gotten more! Anyways, I’ll see you again pretty soon ya? I’ve yet to go get everyone’s prezzie cause sushi and I ended up getting a dior and loewe bag instead of present shopping.
oh gosh u bought so many things.. the stuff i bought are all cheapo stuffs.. sian haha.. the video damn cute lor!!!
hello renzze! i’m in hong kong now. i love your hairdo from 17-20 december. that dress you wore to the indian wedding is gorgeous, really suits the occasion! i remember the other dress (a shorter one) you wore to another indian wedding previously. it was also blue, right? anyhow, i like them both! merry christmas btw! 🙂 oh, i just realised your page is snowing.
very cute home model, i like such small things. but i don’t see a staircase?
chic* – glad you love the prezzie! I haven’t tried on yours =)
xiaoqiiiii: Merry Christmas!!! Hope you are having fun in HK! I’ll be there next mth. The previous outfit I wore for the indian wedding was also blue… good memory! I’m missing your pictures!
xiaoqiiiii: there isn’t any stairs… lol… we added a “glass” elevator to the side of the condo and walkways connecting to the main building… but those were done later so I didn’t take pictures.
Please do post your Xmas purchases / gifts! We have such fun looking at them!
merry xmas! your stuffed tree is so adorable!!
Midori – I’ll try to post some up when I get the time… I actually gave most of them away already!
lil_piggie – thanks!

Hi there. just curious when you say you are in research – does that mean science? deg in medical? Makes me wan2 go to your line too! hope you can reply.
Thanks for replying. Love your blog!!! All the best to you!
reader – I’m not in london anymore but in Europe at the moment, I don’t exactly help pple to buy bags cause of the bulk but I did help a good friend get a wallet in london… I need all the space for my own shopping!
xp: I don’t really like discussing my work in public to strangers cause these days you don’t know who’s reading! But to give you some clue… I did clinical psychology as well as biz.

hi,what camera are u using? and what mode did u use for this pic :- http://renzze.smugmug.com/photos/425792408_XFJHF-M.jpg it’s very clear!
Clara: will be back soon!
ber – I’m using a Cannon Ixus 860I… that shot is done auto without flash… but you need to have really steady hands or the picture will turn blur like some of my other night shots.
Jas – the occupation is true though I rather that not be publicly known for privacy and as for the 2nd part it’s not really true cause I’ve family in various parts of the world and mostly travel with family or friends =)
Hello.. i came to your blog whilst searching for perm hair. I went to Maggie frends which you kinda recommended but it was ruined! =( despite the fact that They did it 3 times for me.. Do you do the hair curler (if so what brand) or you dont even do anything to your hair? what kinda cream you use?Pls help.. my hair is dead!
Its such an envious thing to see you travel so widely ard the world. From your blog, I understand ya married right? Nv thought of having a kid? Thikn the kid will look very cute like you =)
Hair Fan – gosh! I am so sorry it didn’t go well for you… the last time i did my perm at Maggie it was with Saito but I heard that he has left. I don’t use any hair curler for my permed hair… only when my hair is straight. You can try using Bed Head Small Talk by TIGI… it’s the only cream I’ve used though not consistently.
Family Gal – Lol… I’m traveling as much as I can before family planning comes to play. Thanks for thinking I’ll have a cute kid… actually I just hope my kid will be a healthy one =)
Hello are you an air stewardess?
Jess – nope I’m not =) My colorful nails are a dead giveaway.
Hi .. i happen to chance upon ur site, and i really enjoyed ur postings! keep it going!!! 😀
PS: side track a bit – i do realised u travel quite frequently. may i ask is it for work or for leisure? may i oso ask wat r u working as?
mei: I’m glad you enjoyed reading the posts =) I travel for leisure but I do bring my work along for trips… in the research field
hi renzze, may i know how much u bought ur little miss marc bag? the pvc one. thanks!!
what kind of research work are you doing? Seems like an exciting job to be in.
hey babe r u wearing false lashies? what brand r u using? thxs! (:
chi – research is tedious work and definitely not as exciting as it sounds… lol… excuse me if I don’t really talk about my work cause my colleagues and bosses read my blog too!
rebecca – I’m wearing falsies from various brands that I buy at those toiletries shops that is found at every corner in tokyo… they are about $2 a pair… cheap and good.
I don’t know some moments of this post..
Just curious, who took the video for you while you tour around the country? Did you hire someone to help you take your picture and video? Cos the way the video is taken looks quite professional.
Chi – The pictures and video are home made… taken by me or friends or family members.
Hi can I know what software you use to edit the videos? I’m going oversea soon and would love to do something like yours too!
How long does it take to put together a video ? I think whoever it was that took the pics and did the vidz for u must be lauded! he has great skills!
Someone – I’m using pinnacle studio which is good but not the best in the market… I hear sony vegas platinum and cyberlink power director is better.
Jas – Thanks! Will pass the msg on. The videos take only about 30 mins to put together cause they are really short. Most of the time is spent looking at what raw data that has been shot.
hi there! i totally dig your photos! what’s the model of the camera you are currently using?
i totally miss wake-boarding! used to do it frequently in my uni years sia! u got me going again! 🙂
hihi, i love your tan boots which you wore to London. may i know where you bought them from?
xiaoxin – lol… it is a really fun sport once you get used to the aches that follow!
chloe: The tan boots are from Max Mara.
hi
where did you get the owl scarf from
thanks
owl – its from F21 heritage.
vs yoga pants for paintball?
which tailor do you send for alteration?
an share the add and details? thanks !
s: the yoga pants are really comfy for all those movements!
sewing: I send them to aunty may at FEP #03-77… if you tell her you are recommended by Karen she might charge you cheaper.
where to buy your red and black shoes from? nice !
🙂 – that pair is bought in Korea… a pretty old pair actually.
Hi, I love your white dress! Where did you bought it? hope not overseas 😉
Fishhead – It’s from F21 =)
Hey can I know what brand is that grey bag (with the scarf) you are holding? Can I noe the price? I really like it alot!
Baggie – I’m assuming that you are refering to this http://renzze.smugmug.com/photos/383608327_d7Sbk-L.jpg grey bag. It’s the medium garden tote from Hermes. The bag is $2700 and the twilly is about $200
Hi babe, can i know how much you bought the chanel bag in black hat? is that 2.55 or the classic?
Selina – The classic med flap bag is 3k ++ when I bought it years ago in paris… I’m not sure of the current price.
Hello,
Great job. But not enought info. Where can i read more?
Have a nice day
AnnaHopn
Your dogs are so well-behaved and adorable!!! Love the video 🙂
Adelene – Thanks!
HI Karen, your videos are fantastic! Would you mind if I ask which camcorder you’re currently using? I’m clueless when it comes to shopping for one! Many thanks! Kisses to Louis and Emmie
Scooby – Thanks. I’m using the Sony HD video cam but since the videos on my blog are not in HD format there is no need to get such a good one. In fact I also use my Cannon camera video function to record clips too!
agree with you totally, life is short, so live fully. Sky Diving was fun but if you preferred calming and silent, than scuba diving is better. Sky diving a bit loud and also the adrenalin leaves you breathless everytime you jumped off the plane. Scuba not only calm and ease also able to be memorized by the beauty of the underwater world.
Bjump – Thanks for sharing your insight! I’ve actually done both and they both give me a adrenaline rush and appeal to me equally. =)
Hhmm… very interesting point there, both gave you the adrenaline rush. Surprised you have done both, one of those special gal, enjoyed your life to the fullest.
Re:ECP Car Boot Sale Ur 3rd pic that u post, can share hw u achieved this shot ? Cos it looks frm quite high up …thanks!
Bjump – I’ve got a long list to go before I finish trying out the many things I wanna do in life before I leave this world.
Jas – lol… it was just taken from top down… the photographer raised his hands up.
Hi Karen, your videos are amazing! Could I ask if the song you used in your Chinese New YEar video is by a local group? It’s lovely, very soothing, though I can’t quite understand a whole (I don’t speak a word of mandarin)! I would love to check out their other songs! Great acapella voices, they have!
Scooby – the chinese song I used in my CNY video is called Spring Wind by David Tao, a taiwan based singer.
Hi Babe, really enjoyed your post on London. I m going to Europe come early April. Hope to get some hotel information from you. Care to share. Thanks 🙂
yes i’ve noticed!!! cool… do one for me too!!! hiaks… hows things? shall catch up soon!
Alya – Thanks. Which part of Europe are you going and which area do you need hotel info on?
I’m heading to Paris, London, Nice, Amsterdam Venice, Florence and Rome. Having quite a headache fixing the hotels! btw, your photos are gorgeous!
Chic* – Yes! Haven’t seen you for a long time.
Alya – Wow! Thats quite a scope of places! How long are you gone for? So exciting! You should email me at renzze@gmail.com… easier for me to give you long info.
Thanks babe! i’m going for about 1 month. Seems like a pretty rush trip to me though..:) I’ll drop you an email tonight. Thanks for your generous help 🙂
Hey wads the name and artiste of that german song in your vidz ? Great song selection!
Jas – The song is Vielleicht by the German band Söhne Mannheims.
i’m curious, what are you working as? if you dont mind. 🙂 you do travel alot!
Jas – I think I’ve mentioned several times in my blog before that I’m in the research line. Traveling is more for personal fulfillment though.
oh.. i almost tot u were an air stewardess
melody – lol… I’m not… I don’t think I can take the long hours of work they do on flight or dealing with demanding passengers. Hats off to them.
may i know where did u get that grey dress? it’s pretty! i love your blog! 🙂
Angie – the dress is actually dark brown and I bought it in Korea.
Such a happy video! I luv how fearless Louis was in the water! If only I can get my dog to luv the water as much as Louis does! My dog muz be the only dog that hates the sea… sign
oh i see thanks 🙂
oh my god! i love those giottos!! they overpcrice them so much in candy empire ! did you get hanutas too? I miss german sweets..heh
syl: lol… ya I got both giottos and hanutas among others… They are way overpriced back home!
Hi, i chanced upon yr blog from Les Dames. 🙂 I notice a pic of u carrying a loewe in pink suede IIRC. would u mind sharing the cost, cause i’m reali thinkin of gettin one
Jen- Hi! The pink suede Loewe is med size and was about 2.4K IIRC… that reminds me that I haven’t taken that bag out to use in awhile!
hi,may i know where ya friend got her floral dress from (at the bbq)? tks
Spec – she got her dress at BBK on our last trip together =)
where is this german resturant at? expensive?
Lady1979 – It’s on the 1st floor at vivocity… not too ex… standard restaurant prices.
do u give any to the poor to ease the suffering?
Hi, can I know where you stay at the service apartment when you went bgk last year? can Provide the details cos i’m looking for one, travelling next mth! Thanks!
passerby – yes i do… brand new ones that I buy on impulse but decide not to wear… but what i give to charity need not be stated to the public right?
Bgk goer – I stayed at Fraser Place at Langsuan.
Hi girl! woohoo! saw that u are having a sale of your clothes! i feel safe buying from you if any one of them caught my eye cause i know we are very much the same size! 🙂 The ones i like sold out already! Anyway…your NY pics are so nice!

hunbun – the dress is from F21.
Pls lemme know when u are going to US again… I wanna get Abercrombie stuff. Some simple tank tops from … uh hum…kids section, of cos… whahaha… lemme know !!!
yan: ok babe.
Good clothing items I must say! Nice blog as always! Perhaps you should start shipping sale items out of Spore? Haha!
Irise – thanks girl! I’m not selling the sales items for profits so at that price the postage overseas would cost more then the item itself!
The camera loves Louis! He looks so handsome from every angle!
Are u self employed or work in yr family owned company? Cos if I wear what you wear to work, I’ll be violating all my present company & previous companies dress code. Just curious.
Scooby – Yeah I think Louis photogenic too!
anonysg – I’m neither self-employed or work in a family business. I do throw on a jacket at work though. Which line are you in… I’m supposing your companies all have rather strict dress codes.
any idea how cum my pc cant view all the pix post up here? 🙁
Hi Karen, how have u been? Havent seen ya for so long, maybe we can meet up with drey tgt 1 day 😀
i like chou dou fu. hahaha. the ones i tried in hk so far are not smelly enough as they tasted like normal deep fried dou fu. any idea where to get the real smelly ones? heehee.
galz – hmmm… I’m not sure why you’re having problems viewing… have you tried on another comp?
.van – Sure… just sms me when you’ll be free.
SJC – I heard the ones in taiwan and china are more pungent but I haven’t tried so I wouldn’t know.
Love u Jie-Jie =)
see u soon
Hey anonysg, jus curious how will the clothes she is wearing be violating the dress code ?? I dont get you…can enlighten ?
The night shots are amazing! You’ve got a great eye for details, and also very, very steady hands!! I’m still trying to hold my (new-ish) video cam with steady hands and it’s no easy feat!
Hi can i know the camera u using? thanks
hi babe. did u spend 1 day in disneyland? im planning a trip to HK too! 🙂
Scooby – Thanks! My hands are also rather shaky… esp in winter! I try to hold the camera nearer to me to avoid excessive movements.
Joq – I’m using Canon Ixus 860I.
Angie – Yes I spent a whole day at Disney which is ok in the cool mth but may be a little too much in the hot months.
Hi sweets, do you mind sharing what camera you using for your Photos *they look great* and what videocam? Many thanks 🙂 Have a great day ahead!
Linda Yeo – I’m using Canon Ixus 860IS for my photos and for the videos I took in hk as well. For all other videos, I’m using my Sony HDR -UX7E videocam.
Got my parcel Tks u 🙂
Thanks ! You really have great pictures here. Awesome colors too! 🙂
Chanced upon your blog…Wow!! Great pics! Envious of your jet-setting lifestyle 🙂 How do you manage to get take so much leave in a regular job?
jac – Great! Hope you like the stuff!
Linda Yeo – Thanks =)
Trophee – Thanks. My job is very much project based so I can allocate my time… but when I’m back in Singapore I get really busy even on weekends.
hey karen, may I know where in HK did u go for a massage? TIA!

Midori – I went to the Sense of Touch spa at Lan Kwai Fong. You can see their webby for details http://www.senseoftouch.com.hk
sheena – lol… I haven’t really developed the habit of taking pictures of my purchases but you’ll get to see when i do wear it and take photos for my daily outfit journal.
ahh ahhhhh i saw the missed call like what?! 2 weeks ago?! and i kept wanting to call u back but forgotten… zzz~ love all your updates and your lovely pics!! *muack*
hi, how did you do the camera animation, very cute.
deedee: Lol… you’ve been a busy girl! I wanted to ask you about Nepal!
charmaine – Thanks! Its done using gif format.
Hi Karen,
Your dogs are so beautifully groomed. Do you need to do any grooming on Louis, in between visits to the groomer? I’m trying to learn more about Cocker Spaniels as I’m hoping to adopt my friend’s cocker spaniel when the family moves back to US. Currently, I have a silky terrier but grooming a silky is very easy! I’ll be abit lost, as I’m not sure if I know how to groom a cocker spaniel!
may i know what course u studied in uni?
wow, u r always travelling around. Envy u 🙂
scooby – thanks. Louis actually does basic shaving of his paws and cutting of nails between his visits to the groomer. Cocker tends to be very affectionate and need more attention though. And you should take them out often or they’ll easily become couch potatoes.
melody – i did biz and then went back to do clinical psy.
lk: no need to envy, at least for these couple of months I’ll be grounded! I have too much commitment to friends and work.
ugh i’m sorry! >< u still need info about nepal?
deedee- don’t worry, my original plan to go nepal in April has been postponed due to commitments elsewhere so we can always exchange info when we meet up again!
hey babe, i realised my previous many replies were nt posted up ;[ anyway i din noe u stayed in hong kong till cny…
show show us yr new suede loewe~~ hehe share the joy~~ hahaha congrats man
Chic* – hmmm I didn’t get your previous replies… maybe they were accidentally deleted by my blog spam prevention software. I wasn’t in HK till cny this year but I was there last year’s CNY. How have you been anyways?
Jen – lol… Thanks! You’ll see it on my blog soon enough when I do take it out and take pictures of my daily wear. =)
Hey girl, I’m going Europe and Taiwan in May. Any interesting places to visit/things to see? =P
Oh yah… you know any happening clubs in Taipei? Or anywhere I can get more info =)
Fries – which part of europe are you going and how long? I can’t help you on taiwan cause I’ve never been there!
About 2 weeks… going to france (definitely) then the rest not too sure already… maybe visiting spain, italy and a few other countries =P
where the black dress with ruffles from thanks
hu – the black dress is from BBK.
I wish I have a bunch of girl friends like you! Really envy =p
But sometimes I felt girls might create a lot of problems like gossiping, making a lot of jealousy or talking bad about each others haha, no? Women meant to be bitchy ?
p.s : Your post can’t be commented? LOL
hey renzze ok sure thing! 😀
Oh yeah, do we need to apply for visas for any country?
Irise Kubi – I agree that girls might be trouble but that when selecting good friends are important. I don’t hang out with all my girl friends equally but the ones that are close are really close. Btw… you can click on the title of the post to comment directly on the post instead of on the wall. =)
deedee: I’ll drop you a call soon. Promise.
Fries: Most of the European countries do not require a tourist visa from Singapore unless you’re visiting russia.
Yeah, I tried few times commenting but failed haha!
Love your white dress 😀

min, lol yes I’m already married… after all I’m not that young you know.
i thought you were 24?
min – hehe, I’m older than that.
Min sounds surprised… or is it disappointed? Oh she’s same age as me but I don’t think anybody can tell… cos she looks so young haha
Fries, lol… don’t worry I can feel the age catching up with me real fast esp since I’m not getting my beauty rest.
Haha, shes not that young, but she stays young and pretty. The hubby is handsome too =p
i love your dresses!! where do u usually buy them from?
Irise: thanks for being so sweet.
Rose – I shop everywhere so I can’t pinpoint a shop I go to but I do order quite often from ASOS and F21.
Ashley it’s okay… you can stay young and pretty… Anyway it’s good for a guy to look older and more mature mah.. and a girl to look young haha
Fries: =)

lilboy, I do go to Tampines mall from time to time cause I stay in the east. What was I wearing when you saw me.. could have come to say hi! As for the BKK post… actually the best place for shopping for cheap and good ladies stuff is Platinum Mall.
Sometimes u hold a sale of yr clothes, do u sell yr bags,accessories too? 🙂
shermaine, unfortunately I don’t usually sell my bags and accessories. And I tend to sell only my cheap clothes cause I don’t want to tell exp stuff over the internet.
hi sista..can u tell me what u do for a living?cos next time i want to do the same job to enjoy life just like you =) can share with me what is yr occupation?thks!!
You look gorgeous in your outfits!
lil boy, your life is there for you to live. You can still enjoy it no matter what you do. Just find a job that you enjoy. It’s just a matter of balancing your priorities. If you still want to know what I do, I’m a researcher.
Ling, Thank you!

danial, I was suppose to be leaving for nepal in april with a group of friends to start an english class there but there were some complications with matching everyone’s schedule as well as putting the class together so we’ll be holding the project till next year.

wOw! That’s so creative! I would never have guessed that the video was put together with stil shots! I’m still trying (rather unsuccesfully) to take better pictures!
scooby, thanks. Actually time lapse photography is not a new concept… lol… but it’s the first time i’ve tried it. Good luck on you snapping great pics!
Was it the lady or the guy who did your perm? Alas I have cut my hair short hee…so till it has grown longer

Hi there, happy to see so miuch updates! Btw, who take the photos for u always?? Yr boyrfriend?? hehe 🙂
jj – well there’s not much tricks to teach but it does help if your work allows you to be a moofer. The blackberry is also a fantastic tool.
Jen, thanks for reading =) My photos are taken by whoever happens to be there with me at that time.
hi may i noe whr did u get your red wedges from? any intro of shops for nice wedges? been lookin for 1. thks 🙂

hi babe, may i know from which website did you get this tagboard from? TIA 😉
j, this wall is a plugin for wordpress.
nice floral dress! where did you get it from?
oh icic. do i need to upgrade to premium css before i can unput this plugin? TIA 🙂
claire, the dress is from f21.
j, the wp wall is a widget so your blog needs to be widget friendly. I’m not too sure about premium css or not cause I’m using my own server and domain, not using wp blog. Here’s the link to the dl for the wp wall… http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins/wp-wall
hi renzze, may i know what type of shoes are you wearing with your floral dress? thanks.

Renzze : your black dress is stunning! How much is it.. and where is it from? 🙂
mel, thanks. If I don’t recall wrongly, the dress is from ASOS and should cost less then GBP 40
i love your clothes!!! (:
Thanks! And do get well soon! 🙂
kirei, thanks!
Get well soon!
which beach do you bring your dogs too? ecp?
Kenneth, thank you!
fx, I bring my dogs to different beaches all the time. In my latest post it’s changi beach.
wOw! This video is uber creative!! It’s soooo well done!
Scooby, thanks! I’m glad you liked it!
I loved the video of your doggies having fun! Do take care and drink more herbal tea, hope you get well soon!
Hi Karen, hope you recover real soon and do take sufficient vit C. Excited to see sale post coming up! =) Btw, may i know where you got the dress you wore to “defending the caveman”? http://renzze.smugmug.com/photos/492859890_ULDdM-L.jpg
Have sufficient rest and get well soon.
sunflower, thanks… I’ve had a few herbal teas already… now just forcing myself to rest more.
Momo, thanks for your concern. The dress is from ASOS.
Juilong, thanks! I’m trying to do exactly that now!
Greatings,
Can i take a one small picture from your blog?
Have a nice day
Robor
Robor, which picture might that be?
Hi, Can i know how much does your grey chanel bag cost? The first pic in your latest clothing sales… Thanks
reader, the chanel quilted bowler is about $4.8K if you get it in singapore.
washed ashore post is which beach>?
hahahah! love the washed up tv!
beachy, that is at changi beach
pls throw your rubbish properly, lol… you can’t imagine the weirdest things people throw into the sea…
Do you have any sunblock or handcream to recommend? Tries a few but don’t find them good enough. Thanks.
hazel, I love L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream. It’s fabulous and works well. It usually takes less then 10 mins for it to fully absorb. If you want to go all out… Le Mer Hand cream is divine, just too expensive! For sunblock, I’m actually using sunscreens these days. The best one I’ve had is Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Sensitive but I got that in the states. Locally, the Clarins UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 works pretty well for me. Regardless of which brand on sunblock or sunscreen used, you should reapply it often if you do not want to be burnt.
Hi, may I know do u shower ur dog each time u bring them out? I’m curious how do u clean them up when they are cover with sand all over? lol..
Thanks! i seldom reapply, most of the sunblock i get are oily in a way, so i doesn’t like the oily feel.
u did ur undergrad and masters in the us?
thanks
re, nope, not in the states.
Hi renzze, i bet u get this qn real often. Where did u get ur perm? and how much was it? Thanks 🙂
Hi, Thanks for article. Everytime like to read you.
Clare, I did my last perm at Gorgeous Hair at Boon Keng… can’t remember how much though.
Jinny, thanks! I’m glad you liked the post.
Glad to know you are on the road to recovery. May I know where did you get the small grey bag?
Juliong, the grey tote is from Muji.
hee yay twitter is cool! im “following” u 😀
wow you travel a lot! love your blog! um…have you traveled to Philippines? =)
kirei, I’m really new to twitter but having fun!
Jackie, nope… I would love to go one day though.
Hi there,
I have already seen it somethere…
Thank you
Pett
hey renzze! 🙂 i have missed so many of your outfit posts! this term has really been so busy for me. i’ve got tonnes of outfit pictures to share too but no time to upload them! here’s wishing you a full recovery soon. hope you’re feeling much better already.
btw, i love your black dress with frills at the chest which you wore for a meal with your sister & god-daughter. do you mind sharing where it is from?
Xiaoqi, thanks! I’m missing your posts too! Hopefully you’ll be free to post them up after your exams… JIA YOU!!!
xiaoqii, that dress is from BBK.
pretty yellow dress! where is it from? … ^^
hahahahhaha! the swimming prawn at the top of your banner is HILARIOUS! i spotted it and was laughing like mad!
thank you renzze! : ) btw left you a comment at the sales pg ; )
Hi… ur white lace top is really gorgeous!!! may i noe where is it from?
Claire, I bought the dress from FEP some time back.
clara, lol… you spotted it! I change my banner from time to time depending on my posts.
xiaoqi, I’ve replied your inquires at the sales post.
=>, the white spag top is from Forever 21
hey is that a real hermes birkin? how much did you pay for it and how long was the wait for the bag? TIA!
ber, it’s a Hermes Kelly 28 and retails for about 11K. My wait is about 3 years but they are unpredictable, my gf had hers after 3 mths of wait. They do have a gorgeous Graphite one at the boutique now if you’re interested.
the last picture of the clouds is very nice! i think i spy the control tower of changi airport in the background.. and what looks like planes. you caught that photograph in motion didn’t you? which makes the picture quality all the more amazing!
Your hermes kelly is gorgeous!!
hey gal. nice blue top. where did u get it? btw, what is your occupation?
Xiaoqi: you’ve got super sharp eyes!!! Yup we were near the airport runways. The photo was taken while driving… but the clouds did look very pretty that day so we took a random shot.
regina, thanks babe!
j, I’m assuming you’re asking about the blue and lilac top I wore for tea at M hotel? Well it’s from Korea. And I’m in the research line.
Hi babe, love the top and shoes you wore in your post “Tea at M Hotel”. May I know where are they from? Did you get them in Singapore? Thanks!
Jill, they are from Charles and Keith in Singapore.
nice shoes from charles & keith! hardly can find nice and comfortable shoes from there. i reckon you bought the top in korea? really unique & the colour is gorgeous
Thank you for the wonderful writeup about your experience with us. Your friends are lovely and your dogs are cute! Hope to see ya all again soon!
ur dad looks super young!!!
You learning your salsa at attitude dance school? tangjong pagar? Didnt like it.
Jill, I guess with shoes it really depends on the seasonal collection… sometimes I find a whole range I love and at other times not even a single pair for months! And yup… that top is from Korea.
Hai Bin U Enterprise, you’ll be seeing us soon… we loved the way you managed your business.
melody, lol… thanks… youth genes!
dancer, I’m learning salsa and exotic. One of the biggest draw for me is the flexible schedule cause I tend to travel quite a bit.
Hi Renzze,
I came to your blog via CozyCot! I love salsa and I’ve been doing it since 2001 (gosh, such a long time ago)! I’ll send you some salsa links and hope you’ll have a wonderful time burning the floor!
I bought the same sneakers from dkny recently! Such a coincidence :). Exotic dance is good fun! I took classes a couple of years back. 🙂
where do u do ur hair? nice!
oh, you have changed your banner into a comic strip cartoon! and she blinks her eyes.. reminds me of the previous cozycot banner of the lady in the tub, who looks back at us over her shoulder and blinks her eyes! 😀 i was quite sad when they took her off.
Salsera, wow! You must be salsa expert by now =) You can email the links to renzze@gmail.com Thanks!
Regina, high 5! Did you get the same silver pair or the gold one. I find them both very pretty.
rachel, I did my last perm at Gorgeous Hair.
Xiaoqi, lol… I like changing my banner once in awhile =) Am glad you received the dress already!
i just realised.. is your eyebrow in the banner drawn the wrong way? heh. usually the bolder part is nearer the nose, and it becomes thinner toward the ear, right? the Ming dynasty bowls are pretty! and the heap of chicken looks sinfully good.
Love the outfit you wore for Butter Factory. Is there any mask u can recommend as well? Thanks
I got the silver one! 🙂
Do you like have a photographer following you all the time?
Xiaoqi: lol… the eyebrows are like the dragonball comics!
hazel, I’m assuming you’re referring to facial masks? Well, I use the Le Mer Refining Facial or Clarins Thirst Quenching Hydra-Care Mask.
regina, lol… nice! I picked the silver one cause I already have a gold one by DKNY.
J, anyone can be a photographer be it friends, family or a self timer camera! If I’m out with friends we’ll take photos and videos for each other… but out of respect for their privacy ( the internet can be a scary place), I don’t always post pictures of all my friends or family.
Another pair of pretty shoes! May i know where are they from?
Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!
i like your pics!
May i ask what camera are u using?
where the silver sneakers buy from ? nice !
Cecilia, I’m using cannon ixus 860I… an old camera
s, it’s from DKNY
It’s really cool here in Paris… 7 degrees and 9 degrees respectively for the last 2 days…
those pink leaves sure are gorgeous. and i like that photograph where you posed in front of this artsy painted wall! i can only remember that these few days have been rainy, not sunny!
Fries, I’m so envious!!! I wanna be in Paris too!
Xiaoqi, it’s been rainy then unbearably hot and back to being wet again! Bleahz!
girl, what dance you learning ya? 🙂
Hey Renzze, just wondering what do u apply for your curls? it’s nicely set!
hi renzze, may i know how to get .com for blog than blogspot or multiply or etc? Any charges?
I read some of the posts and I think it is a great site. Be good to my ironical counter Do you want a joke? 🙂 What is a cannibal’s favorite type of TV show? A celebrity roast.
j, I’m learning salsa as well as exotic jazz.
Crystal, I don’t put much hair products on my hair… but I’ve tried TIGI’s small talk and it’s not bad.
belle, first you buy your own domain… I buy mine from godaddy.com then you also need to have your own server space.
Thank you! I would now go on this blog every day!
Zoran
hi, where did u get the slippers u wore on the May 5th post? TIA!
slippers, I got them in BBK. But I had a previous pair I bought from Urban Males… it was more expensive though.
Can you recommend vets who are good and affordable? Thanks.
Hi , where did ue get your bag from ? so pretty . =) .
haha, i am easy to please too! just a bowl of fried fish mi fen soup makes me happy. the black and white shoes are lovely.
hope Emmie recovers soon!
hi… may i know which hospital you called? thanks..
Ivy, I’ve been told by quite a few people recently that The Animal Clinic at Namly is good.
fen, that bag is from Korea.
Xiaoqi, Thanks… btw… I love fried fish soup too!
jj, I called the animal hospital at whitley cause it’s the only 24 hours animal hospital… I wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s an emergency cause it’s exorbitant!
OOoo exotic jazz… dance for me !!! Hahahaha!!! Next time no more MJ!
ahh, i see details on the cap sleeves of the blue ethnic top that wasn’t evident at all in the pictures you posted at cozycot! nice!
Yan, lol… you should come learn too!
Xiaoqi, there’s beadings on the sleeves and at the rear of the top which i didn’t remember to capture on pictures.
that blue top for dim sum breakfast look fantastic! where did you get it? many thanks babe!
Hi ur grandpa’a cake looks yummy. wad flavor is it ? Ur grandpa is from whose side ?
how can i view the dance video? thankz
hui, I bought that in HK.
Jas, grandparents are from paternal side. The flavor of the cake is Paradiso De Nocciola and I got it from swiss bake.
lil_piggy, thanks for your interest but unfortunately the dance video is viewable only on invite basis for my dance classmates.
hi, where are ur sunnies (in the south pier entry) from? gr8 blog btw, i always thought petite/shorties (i am one as well and really hate it =X) can’t look gd wearing anything but u prove me wrong.
sash, thanks for your compliments. No one is perfect so you just gotta make the best of what you have. The sunnies are from MEL at Robinsons Raffles city.
what is the title of the soundtrack u used for your grandpa’s birthday video? (:
Joel, the music is All Love Can Be featuring Charlotte Church from the soundtrack of A Beautiful Mind
How’s the weather like in tokyo? Welcome bk!
Hi! Bloghopping…. lovely blog you have here! http://www.shinnpark.com
Min, temperatures are a cool 20C in the day and about 16 to 18 in the night.
Gin, thanks for dropping by.
hihi.which model camera r u using? u look great 🙂
where are the tokyo pics? =)
madeline, I’m using an old camera, cannon ixus 860I
claire, I’ve been swamped with work since I got back and haven’t even uploaded the pictures! Will be at least a week or so before the tokyo pictures get posted.
hi, i like the hat , where did u get it from? tkns
lin, the hat from the singapore flyer post? It’s from F21
i love how you do your eye make up. do you use a liquid liner? what brand can you recommend?
claire, I’m using mac powerpoint pencil to line my eyes. The gel ones are better but I’m too lazy so pencil works well for me.
v beautiful white blouse, i enjoy yr blog..time for yr sales again (oh n hope u incl accessories as well) *evil smile*
Shermaine, lol… thanks! I would love to do another sale post but I haven’t had the time on my hands to deal with enquires and emails for sales items at the moment. Will do one once I’ve more free time.
white blouse so lovely ! where from? thanks
hun, the blouse is from chloe.
hi Renzze, do you have a place of your own? have been addicted to your blog and realised that you may not be staying with your parents. i am curious to know e reason but you may choose to ignore me. 🙂
jj, I have a place of my own. But it’s not an unusual concept except in asia.
did u say you got that dress in HK? the purple one… JUST so pweeeettttyyyy! >.<
actually I really like your dress in the ‘last minute packing’ entry. where did you get that from? xxx
hello! didn’t know you were back so fast, i was expecting you to take a long holiday again! ugh, the zombies look horrible. don’t you have a similar hat from f21 in green/blue & brown? i remember you wore that with the tie-dye halter dress.
*Jenn, The purple dress is from an old Anna Sui collecition. And the dress i wore in the last min packing post is from FEP.
Xiaoqi, lol.. it’s a short little getaway with a few girlfriends on a (relatively – considering it’s tokyo) shoestring budget . I bought 3 F21 floppy hats in different colors… lol
hi renzze, u are married right? If i rem should be last Dec?
grace, lol… from some years back actually.
thanks for replying!
Hi Renzze, I love your hair. May I know which salon did you perm ur hair at? and which stylist? It’s really nice!!
opps! hehe.. sorry i still rem seeing ur pretty gowns seems like ytday haha… ur ubin trip seems so fun… =)
Are you a mummy yet?
ting, I’ve been changing my hair salon. I’ll recommend Clara from Gorgeous hair at Boon Keng… but my latest hair was done in Japan.
Grace, I agree time does fly by real quick. My gowns are probably outdated by now! I still love being a part of weddings and are helping my friends out with theirs!
Min, lol… not yet. I still kinda feel that I’ve got so many things on my to-do list that I’ve yet to tick off!
ｔｈａｔ ｐｏｅｍ ｉｎ ｙｏｕｒ ｐｕｌａｕ ｕｂｉｎ ｐｏｓｔ．．ｔｈｅｒｅ＇ｓａ ｃｈｉｎｅｓｅ ｖｅｒｓｉｏｎ．．ｔｙｐｅ ｉｔ ｏｕｔ ｆｏｒ ｕ ｎｅｘｔ ｔｉｍｅ！ ｈａｈａｈ．．．
Leaving for Tokyo tonight. would you mind sharing where the salon is at? as well as comment if i should bring a jacket as well since my clothes are all with sleeves already. Many thanks
小心: Lol… Would be nice to see the chinese version!
Min, This time I went to a salon called dears at Ikebukuro… it’s all pink and opens 24 hours… but unfortunately I only know how to get there by memory and do not have the addy. You can also try the hair salon at the top floor of 109 in shibuya! I love them as well. When I was there the weather was still on the chilly side but it should have warmed up a bit. The day was perfect but A jacket is a must for the night especially if you have low tolerance to cold.
Thank you! I probably will pop on the salon when my next hair cut is due! (=
Greetings from Tokyo!!!!!!!!! I am so pissed with myself…. thinking that dears is at a 24 hr mall called Paw … i went over by cab… can’t find and end up taking a round trip cab costings 6000 YEN!!!!!!!!!!! Painful lesson… argh… wanted to save time by going to 24 hour store when nothing to do end night ends up being stupid….. any direction you can provide to lead me to the right salon?
Min, Gosh! Sorry to hear about what happened! I don’t have the Ikebukuro salon addy as I only know how to walk there physically from the train station. You could go to the Shibuya 109 one on regular hours or if you really want a 24 hours one, I’ve got another place that I’ve visited previously. It’s called DaDa Cubic and their addy is 1F Shibuyamitake Bldg. 1-19-5 Shibuya. Here’s their number in case you can’t find them. 03-5766-8282 They are really good but it’ll be good to give them a call first since the last time I visited them was a year ago. Taking a cab in japan is just so expensive!!!! It may just pay to go from 9pm ( when the shops close) to 11pm++ to be able to catch the last train… unless your hotel is within walking distance.
Hi. I’ve read your Hong Kong travels stuff. Can I check from the Hong Kong Disneyland, we can get to the Hong kong disneyland hotel too?
Passerby, You can get from disneyland to the disneyland hotel… by foot it takes about 15 to 20mins… or you can take the resort shuttle from the Disneyland Resort Public Transport Interchange which is about 3 mins walk from the park.
hi renzee, just wondering how long it took u to toilet train ur dogs?
Barley, Both my dogs were outdoor trained almost after a few days but I wanted my dogs to learn how to do their business indoors as well so they won’t have to hold their bladder till someone takes them out or for those rainy months. For indoor training, my male cocker, Louis, took about 10 weeks and my female pom, Emmie, took only 3-4 weeks.
Dont wait my dear.. dont make it happen like my sis and all my friends… they waited, wanted couplehood.. no money.. no time..etc, now they are frantically trying but to no avail. Worst thing is, my friends go for the IVF jab. each jab costs her S$5000. To date she’s done 3 jabs.. so no chance.. and can you imagine the time and money spent? $15000 for “trying a baby”..
You worry bout skinny problems.. if you are even concern then do you know that the older you have kids, the more health problems you will get? so its up to you. Dont prevent or delay.. If you have, praise the lord for the gift. Its just a piece of my kind advice.
my mates sent me a link to your blog post and I thanked them! Excellent work!
“Keep open house for all with a glad heart;” (1 Peter, 4, 9).
Tks renzee, guess i need to hv more patience with my doggies 🙂 Btw abt ur weight issues…don’t fret cos I’m like u, off the ideal BMI. I think BMI is just a no. most impt is to be healthy, of course if fats can be distributed evenly then that’s a bonus *evil grin* I wish for that too.
hi, u mean u manged to retrieve pictures from formatted memory card? teach me!! i accidentally formatted my camera memory card for my first 2 day into taiwan trip and i almost burst out crying in taiwan. now u’ve given me some hope!!
Babygal, I’m still pretty young so being healthy is my priority… babies-wise, it’s just a bonus to me… I’ll just take what destiny has planned out for me… no need to fret!
Barley, with dogs, they need a lot of love , attention and patience but having them rewards you in so many ways! How old are your dogs?
sannnz, sorry to hear about your memory card. Unfortunately, in my case, I didn’t accidentally format my card… just that the card got a little corrupted for some reason. My friend helped me retrieve the pictures before re-formatting the card. Once you reformat a card the photos are lost. And I know how painful that can be especially if the memories snapped are important.
renzee, my doggies are just turning 3mths old. Looking forward to go home everyday so i can spend time with them.
Barley, How many doggies do you have and what breed? It can be a real handful dealing with more than one puppy! I almost bought a 2nd dog ( cocker mix goldie) when Louis was 3 mths… but the sensible side in me stopped me. Only when Louis turned 1 did i get Emmie.
renzee, i hv 2 dogs (cocker mix schnauzer). Wanted to get 1 but since they r siblings n seeing them so close to each other I decided to get both so they can hv e/o for company as well
can’t wait for your tokyo pics =)
Claire,
Lol… Sorry for the wait but my schedule’s still pretty packed! It should be out next week!
Barley, Wow! I’ve never seen a cocker mix schnauzer… do send me pics!! I’m sure they are very cute! I have such a weakness for cockers. They also need lots of socialization with humans and other dogs while they are young.
renzee, emailed u some pics of my doggies. I’ve been trying to take more pics / videos of them now so I can reminisce in future.
Barley, I haven’t received any photos or video… did you email them to renzze@gmail.com
Hi renzze, been reading yr blog! any idea where to get nice, formal (but not gowns) dresses in singapore? got a couple of wedding dinners coming up! esp love all the dress u wore to your friend’s church wedding!
I like the dress you wore in the steamboat with ac. where did you get it from? 🙂
thats weird, will resend again
hi renzze, what camera did you use in your post with your dogs? the one with the secret location. the pictures are stunning.
Lynn, I bought the dress from an online LJ store quite some time back… not sure which one anymore.
Barley, I got your pictures and both of them are so adorable!!! The have cocker ears and paws but a schnauzer face! Gigi’s fur (the one with lighter patches on the face) has cocker fur while Barley has more schnauzer fur. hehe… Both breeds are highly intelligent but rather stubborn so you’ve got quite a handful!
jas, I love BCBG dresses for short semi-formal dresses… their cut and material never lets me down. But if you have a little more time to order, you might want to try ASOS for unique dresses or F21 for cheap ones =)
Chris, I’m using cannon ixus 860I… great for the big sunshine days but too noisy and lousy for night shots.
the jpn hotel is it clean and safte? lots of backpackers?
yay! tokyo pics! i want to go to japaaaannnn!!! =)
I stayed at Sakura before when I went to Tokyo alone last year and Japan hostel really changed my opinion of hostel living during cheap travel =)
spending lotsa time to train them both but Gigi seems to be right on track while Barley is slower. Amazed u were able to describe them so well…even the paws 🙂
Hey that Tokyo hostel / hotel looks decent. Villa Fontaine is also a good cost effective range to stay in as well, hey have many locations all around.
b, yup it’s definitely clean and safe and pretty popular too! Just that it’s no frills!
claire, lol… maybe you can consider going after the swine flu dies down.
xuan-er, ya… japan has one of the better 3 star backpacker hotels around.
Barley, lol… I guess I’m just a huge fan of cockers – mix or otherwise.
Kanos, thanks for the info! I’ll look into that if I need a budget place and sakura is not available.
hey babe, checks out http://lovingyourbags.blogspot.com for Apple Garde ! 🙂 For your bags! Love your latest pics! enjoy!
where ue got your pink hair clip ?
the red dress that u wear during ur cny, may i know where do u get them?
Disneysea! Let’s see what you managed to do there. Hope you managed to stay till the end for that BravoSEAmo show!
hi karen, wat liner do you use on your eyes?
fen, from Korea.
hazel, that red dress was from BBK
Kanos, yup we stayed till the shops had to close… lol…
eLaine, I’m using mac powerpoint.
Hey Karen. May I know which brand are the shades you are wearing in the Disneysea post? TIA!
hi renzze, have been a follower of ur blog for quite sometime cos of ur adorable dogs. oh and a life every girl envy! all the labels and holidays … slurp! jus curious … what do you work as?
renzze, what’s the model of the chanel bag u r carrying?
Midori, it’s from MEL, a cheap brand that robinson carries.
Kate, there’s no need to envy… lol… I’m everyone has their own story and there are many girls out there with a lot more exciting lives and outfits! It just probably happens that I blog about mine. I’m a researcher and it’s a really unexciting job… hehe…
Barley, It’s the chanel disc bag with flap… I’m not sure of the model no but the Singapore boutique was carrying the model a few months back… maybe they still have it.
do you wear false lashes? where do you buy them? =)
i wonder why there are no pictures of you doing stuff like community work and stuff like that. Stuff that really matter to the society and not just clothes, holidays and branded goods
Claire, my latest batch is from Japan.
Wendy, I absolutely agree with you! Yet at the same time I also feel that the people that you choose to help and serve should not be publicly blogged about. One must consider their feelings. A lot of them have a lot of pride and it doesn’t help that Singapore is not a very forgiving society. I like them to think that they are only in a bad phase for awhile and things will look better for them in the future without having anyone categorize them as the needy. Charity also happens on a day to day basis with people you meet… not just with organizations. In general I only put photos of other people when I’m sure they’ll be ok with public exposure ( my hubby’s pictures are almost never seen)… even if sometimes it means I end up with narcissistic posts with photos of no one else but me!!! And as for blogging about how much has been donated… well… that’s crude.
Thanks, will pop by Chanel to see if its still avail.
thanks for answering. mind me asking more? research on? haha .. it feels exciting to me! anyway u r married!! i didn’t know that cos like u say, ur hubby doesn’t really appear in ur blog. that explains … haha cos i alway find it cute why u seem to have someone helpin u to take pic haha n u look way too young to b married lol!
renzze, don’t mind wendy…maybe she’s just envious of your fabulous life…we love your blog so keep on writing! =)
Ill have to agree with Renzze on that. While we might champion causes on our blogs, putting up pictures of yourself doing community work and “helping” people is rather distasteful. Showcasing ones philanthropic endeavors in a blog meant to entertain the senses might reek of self-justification as well, while a blog created purely for the purposes of campaigning causes would, in all honesty, not have very many readers would there. There would always be people with something to say. I think from her blog, it should be rather discernible that renzze is a well balanced and sensible girl
I have thought and have removed this question
Kate, I’m doing research in developmental psychology… basically dealing with the back-end of research on children. Lol… and yes I’m married… I’m not as young as my pictures seem to portray me… or maybe it’s my petite size that is misleading… hehe… but I believe that as long as you are young at heart… age is just a number.
Claire, thanks! And I’m glad you like reading my blog.
Isabebe, thanks for your comments. And it is nice to know that someone else understands where I’m coming from on the matter. You’ve spelled out my feelings exactly!
=>
lol what happened! That was a smiley!
well to each his own. i never thought you’d agree with me either. Perhaps it’s because i come from a very very poor background and there is nothing i could identify here. i support my family of 6 cos my parents are not able anymore. I do not envy you seriously. i am totally happy with myself. Just thought why this blog is rather skewed to materialistic pleasures only. though there is nothing wrong in enjoying either. We just don’t share the same pleasures in life. I am a MINDS school teacher anyway.
i like the way clara bunned her hair at Akihabara!! can u film a video on how she does her bun pls? tia 🙂
isabebe, lol… sometimes the code on my site can get a little cranky.
Wendy, I never thought of you or any readers of my blog as envious of anything. Envy does no one any good and the secret to happiness is contentment. It doesn’t matter how little or much you have if you cannot see the goodness. Life is about ups and downs and I wasn’t born with a golden spoon either. So while you might not be able to identify with my lifestyle it doesn’t mean I do not understand what it is like to be poor. Regardless of whether you are reading a mag or newspaper or book or a blog, you never know a person till you spend time with them so one should never rush judgements. I do think that your job as well as your undertakings to your family is very noble. And I’m sure that through what you have seen and experienced you have been blessed with many qualities no money can buy. In life there are ups too and when it’s time to enjoy… one should not feel guilty. Please don’t get offended with my viewpoint. It’s good to remember your roots and want to contribute back to society, but good deeds are better done silent. I’m sure you do not blog publicly about your struggles with your family or your students state of affairs because you value their feelings. Unfortunately, this blog was created to share my passion for fashion and traveling with friends instead of being a base for my personal philosophy or about the economics of the world…. this is the lifestyle section of the newspaper if you get my drift. A place for friendships and light heartedness.
Junkies, I’ll let Clara know about your request but it’s really up to her if she wants to do the video. =)
I’d wanted to say this earlier but held my tongue as there had been no further remarks and didn’t wish to be disputatious. Blogs are as any editorial content, categorically disinclined to provide a rounded picture of a situation or personality. While i’m not saying that there are gems behind every seemingly mono-faceted personality, one must bear in mind that humans are as a whole more multi-faceted than they appear. While we appreciate that you may not identify with the contents of the blog, not everyone might have the same lifestyle or perhaps aspect of the lifestyle and that is perhaps what the blog’s greatest purpose is, to capture and share the delights of the whimsical and wonderful with the help of a good camera and a caption as memories have the nasty tendency to go nowhere but into the deep recesses of one’s own mind. I think the need for delight and joy to be spread into this world is perhaps equal to, if not more than sobering hum drum or incessant whining about life. And while readers with particular sensitivities about bag brands may direct attention to her paraphernalia, renzze isn’t particularly ostentatious about displaying them.
All i am saying that we should recognise the purpose of the blog and not to judge people based on them, nor require them to have to defend themselves.
wow lots of great pics!! can see you girls are having tonnes of fun, and make me wanna go back to japan again!!!
anyway yea, after reading through some of the long replies… hmmmm. well i think it’s usual for some who 1st come across this blog to find it “skewed to materialistic pleasures”… but i think one shouldn’t judge too quickly from mere blog entries, right? there are those who only write about emo stuff, while others who only want to share happy moments… but that doesn’t mean the former is permanently emo while latter has no woes at all, right? like, i don’t blog about work problems at all, doesn’t mean i have no problem at work. yea? yes, to each his/her own~ and if you know renzze personally, you’ll know that she’s a very sincere person, who happens to also know how to enjoy and maximize her life. if there’s one thing that i truly envy her for, it’s her time management!!!
I am sure its not too difficult to understand that If you find this blog “too materialistic”,don’t read it! I mean, its Renzze’s personal blog! I think she is already so nice to put this point gently across. If it was me, I would just tell you to SHOO!
Wendy, if you feel so uncomfortable to read Renzze’s blog, why read it in the first place and leave such unpleasant comments? I am a reader of this blog, & I do not know Renzze personally although I left some comments here & there, but I enjoy her every post. I also cannot have the lifestyle as her, but never in my mind, I feel “jealous” about it…. Infact I enjoy reading her blog & in a way, I also get to know about the places that I have not visit so far…. Renzze, dun be affected by Wendy’s remarks, and keep writing…. I like reading your blog! 🙂
me too ! I rly enjoy reading renzze’s blog =) I hope yr style will not change due to this yeah? & I agree that renzze’s rly helpful. I dont know her personally as well but she’s kind enough to patiently answer my questions in her previous posts !
it’s sweet to see the subtle change in your blog, specially for Father’s Day!!! 😀
isabebe, thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
deedee, I wanna go back too! hehe… you must be really busy these days cause you don’t even blog anymore. I’m actually terrible with time management … haven’t seen a lot of you girls in awhile. And your sharp eyes noticed the Happy Father’s Day Banner!
JO, thanks for voicing out… I do welcome all sort of readers but I guess its impossible to meet everyone’s expectation.
Katherine, I’m glad you enjoy my blog. It’s readers like you that makes blogging such a bonus.
Jaslynn, thank you for being so sweet and don’t worry… I’m gonna keep blogging as usual. I’ve seen enough of life to respect others opinion and yet stand my own ground.
hey babe, I think you handled the comments very well. I don’t think it’s possible to know a person by simply reading her blog and it’s really up to you to decide what should be featured here. 🙂 Anyway, on a happier note, I love your Japan trip photos!! It’s strange, but I have the same pair of rubber boots that you bought, except that I got mine in Venice. Haha!
Hi Renzze, really enjoy reading your blog. And i really like the ruffles top u wore to Meiji Shrine. Where did you get this lovely piece from? =D
it is fun to read your blog..able to travel with friends even you are marry..
but from a woman view..better be careful.
as always out ..your hubby alone.he one day will find another woman..as you always not around.
but hope you will start your family soon.a baby Soon
regina, thanks babe! hehe, I think these days everything is probably MIC and exported all over the world.
Moizz, thanks! The top is from Korea.
jojo, Glad you like reading! hehe… I get your concerns… But I value my independence and freedom too highly… besides all relationships need to have trust. These days it’s not only the guys that can cheat… girls do too… being stuck to the hip doesn’t guarantee anything… I think if you wanna cheat… you’ll always find ways and if you don’t want to… you simply won’t. Someday I’ll start a family and it’ll be a lifestyle shift… but for now I just wanna see the world!
you 4 ladies gotta be the only gang i seen so far who strides down the streets in style during holidaying haha! me and my gfs are always in jeans or berms when out durin trips … so guilty of our dress code now!
while shopping at the independent stores, do they jack up the prices coz u are tourists? any bargaining?
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! I AM PUBLICLY HUMILIATED!!!!!! THE CHICKEN WALK!!!!
Kate, lol… we don’t always travel in style .. but we had to for the tokyo trip cause it’s for sushi’s hen’s “night”! We gotta have fun like there’s no tomorrow!
nutter, for most parts, the prices at harajuku and shibuya are pretty fixed. You can do some reasonable bargaining at ueno market and aikihabara though.
Clara, hehehe… love ya craziness!
Hi Renzze,
Am just curious what’s the reasons for you to wear most of your clothes not more than once?
woo~ Renzze.. reading thru your girlies Jap trip make my heart itch to go back again…. arghhh,.,.,. temptation! hahaha… bet u girls have real great time there! so fun…. food looks yummieeeeeeee
PP, lol… I don’t conscientiously do it but I do have quite a huge selection. I don’t drink or smoke but I guess my vice has got to be shopping!
melgrace, I’m missing the food too!!! Miss the ramen and the japanese snacks!
True.. its hard to lease everyone.. never ever let all this negative comments affect you! really enjoy your blog!
May i ask which model is the ray ban sunglass and hw much is it? Thanks.
hi, happen to got hold of ya blog on cozycot. enjoy reading yr post on the japan trips!! you gals really had fun there. cheers!! <3
Were you at Cityhall?
JO, thanks!
S, I’m not sure which ones my girlies are wearing but I’m wearing the classic gold aviator.
Jessie, glad you enjoy reading!
Min, when? I wasn’t at city hall today.
Hi nice reading your bog. I am going to Japan soon and like to know where you get your undergarments? Thks a million!
bonkitty – You can try Body Focus at Harajuku, near the ending section of Takeshita Street. Or try peach john at Shibuya 109 which will be a tad more expensive.
hi renzze, i like your new transformers banner! it’s very cool =) your japan pictures are beautiful! i’m planning to do japan at year end and can’t wait!
sunflower, thanks! The winter scenery in Japan is gorgeous… you’re gonna have such a fun time!
love ur transformers banner…very creative and refreshing 🙂
Barley, Thank you! 🙂
woah..but you seem have alot leave?your job is your own company?as if a normal clerk or working people.almost is 14days of leave.but you every mth seem to be travel.and even in travel is for working.but you able to play.are you really is working?or are you stay home wife?your hubby support your travel,car,clothes,dogs?
you are really blessed.
jojo, I’m quite blessed to have a job that is project based and allows me to be a mobile worker giving me more flexibility. I guess with the current onset of technological advances we are all headed that direction but singapore work environment seems to be a little more traditional still. At the moment I still have to work hard for my money, for travels and for purchases… hopefully in the future I can work purely for interest.
Wow…love ur personalised “Transformers” Banner!…COOL!
Christine, thanks! I loved the movie and wanted to incorporated it here.
renzze, how much you pay for the one day tour? the black egg kitty is sooo cute!
how many days trip was tokyo..u seemed like been to many many places. Is this package or f&E?
is your japan trip f&e? also did you make your blog banners yourself? looks very nice and professional!
Jessie, the one day fuji/hakone tour with bullet-train ticket and lunch is ¥16000, without lunch is ¥14000
S, was there for a week only, F&E but one of the girls haven’t been to japan before so we were trying to show her the best sights!
xiao bai, thanks! The trip was F&E and we basically took public transport everywhere. The banners are also home made =)
Doh! My Hakone trip last week was misty misty! Stayed the weekend at the Hyatt though – great onsen there! But the fog / mist made it impossible to see anything 10 metres ahead!
Kanos, I heard that Hakone has poorer visibility in the summer compared the the colder months. But at least you had the time to stay and enjoy the onsen there!
Indeed – hey I can’t see (or recognise) Fujisan from your Lake Aishi pics as well – thought it would be visible?
Do return to Hakone and spend a night there with a loved one 🙂 Its pricey but really worth it.
I only managed to capture 2 to 3 shots of fujisan but they came out blur!!! And the fog came in after so fuji was barely visible.
Hey girl, what software do you use to after touch your pictures? And what do you do with them? I’m asking because I have the same camera but my pictures never look as nice as yours. Thanks.
Shelly, I use adobe to add my own watermark and white balance the pictures. My japan photos were taken from few cameras cause all my friends were also snapping… a tripod is a wonderful tool for great pictures especially at night. I tend not to use flash so i need steady hands.
Hey the Hakone day tour seems kinda pricey – paid JPY50K for my Hakone freepass for 2 days all transport included and about JPY16K supplement for the romance car rides!
Kanos, the hakone pass is only ¥5000 from shinjuku. But due to time constraints we took the greyline tour which is ¥16000, as they say time is money!
Thanks so much girl!
hi renzze,
i simply love ur pix.. may i ask which camera are you using? also, when you’re taking ur pic, are u using the macro function? =)
herb, I’m using Cannon Ixus 860I which is a pretty old camera… would be changing that soon. I do use the macro function from time to time. My Japan photos are taken from a mix of different cameras though as all the girls brought their own.
hi,
saw the cute pink and white lugguage that you have. where did you buy it from? your photos really makes me wanna go to tokyo
Charmlim, I got that luggage in Japan. Tokyo is a wonderful holiday destination.
I spot Burberry Blue! My gal always hounds me for it – some reversible bag or something like that…!
Kanos, lol…. yes burberry blue is only found in Japan unless they’ve been brought into Singapore via import. They have reversible models as well as the normal totes.
Yeah Tokyo’s a great destination, can be a bit pricey though! Been there 3 times this year already and not had enough!
If I get there in Aug, the plan is to scale Fujisan…the sight from the top looks amazing!!!
Kanos, Wow! You must really like Japan a lot! It’ll be fantastic to climb Mount Fuji… take the night climb so you can see the sun rise at the summit!
Wah..you girls had soo much fun.. Now you’v made me reeaally reeally miss japan.
sassygirl, we did have lots of fun… and I too miss Japan!
wow! blue labels…i went gaga ovr the blue/black labels when I was there last yr. Couldn’t get enough, friends were complaining that the only thing they rem abt our japan trip was blue/black label *hahaha*
Barley, lol… I guess it’s a great place to shop for souvenirs since only Japan carries Burberry Blue and Black labels. One of the girls had to make her stop there so the rest of us ended up buying too.
Hi Renzze, where did you get the white/Pink lugguage from? Thank U!
Serene, I bought it in Japan to cause I needed extra luggage to carry my loots back!
the lugguage is so pretty!
Serene,
thanks!
Can you advise the exact location where we can get the luggage? Thanks a mil
Min,
It’s from Ueno… at one of the little alleys in Ameyayokocho Street. There are many cute and quaint designs for luggage other than the one I bought.
Hey I have been following your blog a while now and you got me really curious with all the nice clothes you have! Where do you get your clothes from mostly? And you really look very very very very young, like 22 yrs old? How old are you exactly? Haha. Apologise if that’s a rude and blunt question.
Heya! I clicked on your link on cozycot. Your photos of Japan are really interesting! Glad to see you had fun there! I enjoyed the pictures. 🙂
Wen, I get my clothes from everywhere! Don’t really stick to one brand. And I’m actually 27 turning 28 this year… it’ll be nice to be 22 again =)
Kath, glad you liked the pictures!
I had dinner there few wks ago. Value for $, definitely gg back again.
Barley, Yup I think it’s value for $$ too!
oh you definitely look so much younger than your actual age!!! Age leaves no lines on your face at all. 🙂
Wen, lol… I think being small sized helps deflect age.
hi renzze, tat rose prints long champ bag is really pretty! did u get it from japan as well?
Twin, I got the rose print Longchamp bag in Frankfurt Germany.
Hi Renzee, love your Japan picts!! May I know how much does your luggage cost?
Jen, the cabin luggage costs abt SGD300-400… can’t remember exact price.
Hi Renzze.May I know from which shop/website did you purchase the Bohemian Tiered Maxi from?
thelittlefriend, I used to sell it on my own online store some time back.
Hi Renzze, may I know the Ju Shin Jung has what kind of meat variety? We self service or they? Thanks 🙂
Linda, they’ve got pork (different parts) and marinated pork or marinated chicken. It’s self service but if you go on weekdays they tend to help you to BBQ.
Hi Renzze, may i know where do u register this .com domain? =)
Jenny,
A friend helped me to register a long time ago… but if you want you can get your domain from godaddy.com
Many thanks babe! xoxo 🙂
Thanks, Renzze! =)
Hi Renzze, lovely pair of black stud shoes from your latest post! may i know where did you get them from?? thanks!
Serene, I got those heels from an online LJ shoe spree.
Can consider accessories sales for those who cant fit in yr beautiful clothes? Pls…haha
shermaine, lol… I’ll keep that in mind.
I love both bakchang and nonya changs equally too! Ahh..delish!
sassygirl,
Hi-5!
nice! i’m gonna make my own journal
I love your photos. May I know what camera do you use?
Meow, I’m currently using Cannon IXUS860I which is good for day shots but not too good for night shots.
Hi! May I know which software you use to edit/input the video u take for the supper at simpang bedok! Thanks!
Mystic, I’m currently using Sony Vegas platinum.
Hi Renzze, your pink camcorder bought in Japan looks ultra cute and portable, how much was it, do you remember? And does it have an english menu on the screen of the camcorder? As you know, Sony and Canon camcorders there have Jap words on their screens, hard to understand… 🙂 Thanks!
Wen, It’s about $350 to $400 only and it does have English instructions on the touch screen.
Hi Renzze, so in need of a getaway too. is the harris resort good? how much did you pay for it? does it come with a spa package?
SS, Harris is not the best resort in Batam. But if you intend to head down to the city I think harris gives good value for $. They have a few packages ranging from $100 to $300 and some comes with spa. We all took the honeymoon package.
Is there mosquitoes and aircon at the haris?
S, there are mosquitoes in some areas… though I only got bitten once. And there’s definitely air con in the rooms at Harris.
Renzze, the camcorder was a good buy! Looks really pretty. Thanks for replying! 🙂
hi renzze, thanks for the info. i saw a similar pair of the black stud shoes at FEP but it doesnt look as good. do you still happen to have the link to the online shop u bought from?? thanks!
Serena, here’s the link http://melissa2ks.livejournal.com/ I normally don’t keep links but I recently ordered again. =)
i love ur batam video… both u & clara look great n glowing! btw whats the name of song in the video?
melody, thanks =) The song used for the video is “Over You” by Daughtry.
thanks for your reply!! will go check it out now.. looking forward to more posts… cheers!
thanks for the link!
your batam video looks nice..is clara and gio a item..
Jan, yup.
LOL @ the durian flavored condoms! I just ate durian ice cream yesterday and it was yummy!
Kanos, lol… then I guess the condoms might be more appealing to you! I’ll be in Bali after you I guess!
When’s the Bali trip? I’ll be there national day weekend!
Errr…I might eat durian ice cream but you won’t catch me eating durian flavoured condoms that’s for sure! I’m straight! 😛
Kanos, lol =)
Hello!
My name is Alice, I`m from New York but live in Paris now. I love classic music
Hey babe, may i know where you gotten the leopard print maxi dress from? Its lovely! TIA 😀
Tracy, I got the dress when I was in Bali last year.
hello what camera are you using? love the colors!
passerby, I’m using canon ixus 860I. It’s great for daytime pictures but not too good for night shots.
Hi girl, if you don’t mind me asking, will you consider doing an underwear post? As i’ve noticed in your blogs, you have nice bras to go with all different sorts of outfits. Do you normally get them from Singapore or Japan?
Shelly, Are you referring to buying and fitting of the right undergarments? I’m no expert on that topic! lol. The last batch of undergarments I bought them in Tokyo.
Hi Renzze, saw ur post on the jap food in vivo, mind telling me which restaurant is that, it look really yummy to me! Thanks!
Belle, It’s Shin Kushiya Japanese Restaurant.
hi karen, i always see u wearing low cut dresses. what type of bra do you go with it? i can’t seem to find one that is deep enuf. tks!
Sannnz, I’m using the usual strapless or plunge bras which you can find at the departmental stores. I personally prefer Wacoal.
Hi there,
Amazing! Not clear for me, how offen you updating your https://www.renzze.com.
Have a nice day
Great article . Will definitely apply it to my website
hi,
i am planning a trip to hong kong and tokyo in nov. could u suggest some hotels or inn for both places. thank you
Charmaine, what is your budget for tokyo? For info on HK you can read up on my previous FAQ post here… https://www.renzze.com/index.php/2009/03/16/all-about-hk/
I’ll take some of your suggestions and try to apply them.
I think this was a very interesting post thanks for writing it!
Hi, is the chanel bag in your latest post a jumbo? how much did u pay for it? thanks!
hi,
my budgget for tokyo is abt 70 to 90 dollars per person.
Hi renzze, may i know what is the design of Chanel bag which is featured in ur latest post? and where did you buy it from? 🙂
coco, It’s a classic flap jumbo. I got mine in UK but the local boutique should carry it as well.
Hi Hi Renzze! I saw that you have a large longchamp bag with plenty of roses. This bag is super beautiful. May I know where to get? Thank you.
LK, I got mine in Frankfurt. The Singapore Longchamp brought in this bag as well but I’m not sure if there are any pieces left since this is a limited edition design.
Enjoy reading your blog. Keep ’em coming! 🙂
Lennard, thanks for the encouragement!
hey girl, how have u been? havent seen ya for ages.
.van, ya I’ve been pretty busy. I haven’t seen you in ages too! How are you doing? I still meet Audrey once in awhile though. Maybe we can meet up in Sept when I’m back.
It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.
Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?
I like how you did magic tricks to make those cleaning equipments come out ^^ very creative… and thanks for the cleaning tips! ^^
*jenn, I’m glad you liked it… lol… the magic tricks were rather cheesy but I did them to add more fun to an otherwise boring tutorial.
hi
where is the japanese restaurant thanks
It’s Shin Kushiya Japanese Restaurant at Vivocity.
Hi Renzze, did you use Apple Garde Rain & Stain Repellent on all your bags? Is this product effective?
Corr, I’ve used it on quite a few of my bags and it’s been great so far. Haven’t had time to coat all my bags so I only tend to use them on the bags I carry out more often.
I added your blog to bookmarks. And i’ll read your articles more often!
Do you mind recommending me eye cream that works well on fine lines? The current one i am using, seem to be too oily for me. Thanks. =)
hazel, The best I’ve tried is Le Mer Eye Concentrate… very pricey but it really works! A cheaper alternative is ROC Retin-OX+ Intensive Eye Anti-Wrinkle Care.
Bali time soon? I just came back from there – did a lot of diving and met up with some friends at Ku De Ta (which is madly expensive by Bali standards but worth a try!)
Kanos, yes in just a few days… I honestly can’t wait!
any idea where i can get them from sg? btw, i think most of the shoe u wear are pretty! =)
Hazel, Le Mer can be bought at CK Tangs or Taka though I tend to get mine at the airport. As for ROC, you can get it at some pharmacies. I haven’t used ROC in a long time so I’m not sure.
b4 u leave for bali, pls update your organizer for our adventure: 26th Sep 2009 😛
aquariss, OK babe. 26th Sept is set!
Where are you staying?
Kanos, sorry but that question is a little too private for me to reply.
Thanks!!
hi renzee! i noticed that you’re a cabin crew! may i know how tall are you and which airlines are you from? thank you! 😀
Elaine, I’m not a cabin crew… lol…
Hi, I enjoy reading yr post. cheers
Laura, I’m glad you do and thanks for letting me know!
Err…I meant on Bali! 😛
Kanos, Whoopsie!!! Silly me! I’ll be staying at the Grand Bali and at the Khayangan Estate during my friend’s wedding.
Cool! Is that in Nusa Dua? Let me know if you need any recommendations since I just returned from there – on food, drivers etc!
Kanos, Grand Bali is at Nusa Dua but the villa will be at Uluwatu. I’ve been to bali quite a few times already so I do have some contacts there but you can still share what you enjoyed the most!
Let me try to summarise in a few words then! Menega Cafe (be careful – you WILL end up smelling like what you ate!) is about the only honest joint for seafood on the beach. Try Toya Spa if you like massages!
Think that just as you’re in Bali, I’ll be summiting 3,776m in Japan and hope to catch what is said to be the most amazing sunrise in the land! Keeping fingers crossed that there,s no rain!
Kanos, Thanks for the tips. And your Japan trip sounds amazing! You’re gonna have such an incredible experience!
hi may i know how much u charge for a fashion advertorial with sponsored pieces? do you have an email address that i can contact u at? thanks
advertorial, you may send me your shop link at renzze@gmail.com for me to take a look.
ur post “Blue Blood” is very inspiring, makes me feel slightly better as I m gg through some problems
Barley, I’m glad you liked the post. Take care and don’t let the problems bog you down. Ride them over.
Saw an etheral sunrise from the top of Fujisan. Feet aching as hell now but it is a once in the lifetime affair after all!!!
Kanos, You are one lucky fellow!!! I’d love to be there!
hi can u do a tutorial on how to you curl yr hair?it look fantastic i hv fine hair,curls dun stay thanks in advance
jenny, I have fine hair too! If you find that your curls don’t stay you can use hair spray.
i totally adore what you say in yr blue blood. cheers!!
jessie, glad you liked reading. =)
hmm .. who are the goodun who think you r living off ur hubby or family? since e day i ever read ur blog, it jus dawned upon me dat female these days can b v independent n u inspired me, it nv once came across u were living off someone. ur independence n confidence is e main reason i continued to read till now. jus ignore the ignorants.
Kate, Thanks for your vote of confidence. I guess when you have something so public like a blog, you’re bound to run into some misunderstandings with readers.
i love ur blue dress with the gold chains!! may i know where u got it from =D
melody, I got the blue dress from FEP.
you look nice in all the pics and you take nice pics too 🙂
your dad look so young, i thikn he could be even mistaken as ur hub, ur dad look like he only at most 10-15 yrs so senior. think u inherit his young genes too 🙂 envy!
Samantha, thanks. My dad does look young for his age… and so do I. But I guess if you are young at heart it shows through.
heys babe, myntloves from CC here! 😀 love yr photos and i have that dress you wore on august 17th too! 🙂 chic 😛 hehe. btw, what camera did you use for the photos! 🙂 thanks, xoxo.
noi, Thanks!! Some of the photos were taken with my canon ixus 860I compact camera and some were taken with Canon DSLR 300D. Usually I just use the compact camera though.
Think i’m even luckier cos my partner was with me!!!
Kanos, thats really sweet!
renzze did u re-perm ur hair? it’s very bouncy and voluminous recently. how do you make the curls so defined?
lil_piggie, I did re-perm my hair not too long back =) But the curls are also more defined only when I blow dry the hair.
Hi karen! I am looking for a new camera. Your night shots look good, was wondering whether u used flash in those shots? And are those taken with ur canon or DSLR? Thanks!
Lucbabe,
My night shots in the recent posts were taken with my canon ixus. Quality is ok for online purposes but the DSLR definitely gives way better shots.
the f21 black lace dress fits you really well, was eyeing it for quite a while. did u need to alter it? 🙂
elle,
I bought this dress sometime last year when it first came out. The first batch was totally sold out and I could only get my hands on a M-sized piece so I definitely had to alter it.
i loveee the big black bow on yr hair!! soo sweet=D i know ya do collect hair bow? any particular place ya normally get them from? you look ggod in the makeup. =D
jessie,
Thanks! I love the hair bows I get from Korea most! They have so many designs and colors and of pretty good quality.
i like ur black dress which u wore for the wed dinner!! can share where u bought from? 😀 Oh and thanks alot for replyin my email~ gd day to u!
Elyn,
The black dress is from F21. It’s still available!
How’s Bali so far? Having a romantic time? 😉
Kanos, Bali was as fantastic as I remembered it!
Renzze, do u apply sunblock whenever u step out of your house? Care to share which brand of the sunblock are u using?
Xuan, I’m not always so disciplined with my sunblock application but I do try to apply it especially when I know I’ll be out in the sun all day. I’m currently using the Fancl one.
heya renzze where are ur shades from in ur latest post? 🙂
mel, these shades were bought at Robinsons.
hi babe, may i know where did u get your recent white dresses from? the one from your latest post & the other which you wore to your friend’s morning wedding ceremony? am looking for white dresses as my friend’s wedding theme is white & it’s so difficult to find nice white dresses. thanks!
SG, the white dress with checks belt is from FEP and the one I wore as a bridesmaid for my friend, Wendy’s wedding is from F21.
hi,
would like to look at your wedding photos, but couldn’t get in with the password u given.
Charmaine, sorry but those pictures are now only meant for friends and family. Had to many photos “stolen” and placed elsewhere.
Hi babe, what’s the hotel u stayed in Tokyo recently?
WEndii, It was at Sakura hotel.
Hey babe, which Sakura Hotel did you stay at? Understand there are a few locations. I’m heading to Japan next month! 🙂
Regina, the one I stay at is Sakura at Ikebukuro (池袋).
Hi can i know what pass you bought to travel around Tokyo on the train?
Angel, I didn’t buy a train pass. I just paid the fare for the single trip ticket whenever I needed to travel cause I don’t travel that much in a day. Tend to stay at one area or walk around from place to place in the same area.
Hi can i know what train pass did you buy to travel around tokyo? Thanks =)
hi renzze, may i know where did you get the blue dress from? Is very lovely. Thanks.
lin, the dress was bought in KL.
I think u should stick to the canon ixus, it gives good pictures and its easy to carry around! Or u may want to try the panasonic LX3?
sunflower, Thanks for your opinions! the LX3 is a definite high on my list…. It’s been recommended by so many as well.
Hi there, can i know where did u get your shoes in yr entry titled ‘ home in my heart?’ thanks a million
Jen, I got it from a spree by melissa shoes.
Angel, just get yourself a Pasmo or Suica stored value card. Its like ez-link.
Get a Sony Cybershot. Cos I own one 🙂
Kanos, lol… I have a sony HD video cam but I won’t be getting a cybershot cause I prefer leica lens.
Hi, Is the shoes from melissa..comfortable to wear?
S, the shoes are pretty ok for me so far.
Thanks!
hi renzze, love ur lashes. Mind sharing the brand and if its easy to put on?
ec, I used quite a few different brands. Currently I’m using MAC and also those I gotten at the drugstores in Japan. Putting on lashes is a little like putting on contact lens, it’s difficult when you first start but once you know how to do it, you don’t even have to think about it.
hi pretty, i want the white multi heart dress
momo, Sorry but that dress is currently pending a buyer. Will let you know if the deal falls through.
I would like to purchase your White Arrival for my wife.
Keith, that’s really sweet! Unfortunately, white arrival is currently pending another buyer. I’ll let you know if she lets it up.
hi babe, you been to Batam i suppose. Can you email the place you go for massage? I wan to go for massage in a decent place. thank you
hi have you been to Hokkaido b4??
J, I usually just go for the hotel spa at Harris or Holiday Inn when I visit Batam.
JJ, I’ve not been to Hokkaido before though I hope to be able to squeeze a trip into my schedule next year.
Hi, may i know both ur chanel black classic flaps are caviar or lambskin? Thanks!
Mod, I have both lambskin and caviar.
Oic, then may I know the black Chanel jumbo classic flap that you shared with us in your (i think) last month fotos is caviar or lambskin? Cos I’m now thinking which to get: Caviar/Lambskin, Jumbo/Medium. Talk about indecisiveness! haha.. Thanks!
Mod, the black jumbo is in caviar. You’ll see it in again in my post today.
Ooh Hokkaido – just went last year to ski! Hit me up if you intend to go – I know a nice Aussie family who owns a ski lodge up there and they offered to give special prices to my friends during peak season!
Kanos, that’s fantastic! Will definitely ask you for travel tips when I’m going.
which collection is your chanel dress from? whats the damage?
reb, I bought this piece off season piece in Japan. It’s from 05 collection if I’m not wrong. Got it at a bargain of $950 =)
the hat that you wore with your yello outfit is super nice and versatile!!
xiaoxin, thanks! I like that hat too… great for sunny days!
Hey babe! nice playing mahjong with u today! its 7am and i still cannot sleep!! hahaha
Melva, it’s was really nice meeting you too! Lego queen! I was so wiped out when I came home… no stamina!
hi karen,can u share with me the sizing for club couture. love some of their dresses. but afrid that the size does notfit true. i am ard 165cm. wt ard 50kg. what size u think is appropriate?thks.
shermaine,
Their size charts are a pretty good gauge for sizes. If you’re a UK size 4/6/8 you can go for small.
Hi Renzze, any nice hotels to recommend near shibuya area? budget is about SGD 150 per night. Thanks
bargainqueen, I don’t normally stay at Shibuya area so I’m not too sure. You can try asiatravel.com to compare the different hotel rates in the shibuya district.
babe, any Sculpting lotion that you can recommend? I just permed my hair. =)
Wendii, You can try Small talk by TIGI.
are you married? 🙂
lindsay, yes!
Hi Renzze, I’m curious but what is ur profession?
Jscyt, I’m in the research industry.
In Tokyo, try the Washington chain or Villa Fontaine chain – they both have good websites and give good offers for travellers.
errrmmm… abit OT… but can i know where clara got her dress? Geez
crystal,
lol… I’m not sure about that… gotta ask her.
hey how much did you get the SF hair clip and band? at paragon?
moi, i can’t remember how much the hair clip was but the hair band is $130.
okay! cos i remembered reading your blog few years ago and had the impression you were married. 🙂
Hi Kanos, which Villa Fontaine Chain hotel should i stay for easy accessibility to main areas like Shibuya etc.?
they dun grow in mineral btl but were placed inside the btl. there is a slit on each btl but not obvious 😉 if i’m not wrong, they r mantis shrimps (賴尿蝦) 🙂 happy weekend!!
Junkie,
Wow… thanks for the info! =)
Try Shinjuku its easy access to everywhere!
Whoa what inspired that clarification post??? Its almost like a warning to some 😛
Kanos, lol… it’s really more of a clarification rather than a warning. I just have been having too many misunderstandings for too long so I thought it best to clear it all up.
hi babe! am going to beijing for a trip but totally clueless as to where to shop! hv u been there b4? any advices/where for good shopping? tia!
niki, the last time I was in Beijing was years ago… at least 10! Was there for 3 months when I did a short student cultural immersion program with Beijing University. I didn’t really shop much then. But I do remember that the things were really cheap and you could bargain to less then half the quoted price. For clothes and accessories shopping you can try going to the Sanlitun Yashow Clothing Market… take the rail to Dongsishitiao, then bus 701 heading E. And 新光天地 is where all the brand names are.
haa, babe, ur friend audrey is actually smaller than you?!!!
Melva,
lol… I was wearing heels la. If you are joining us for baking on tues, you’ll get to meet her.
ok la, i’ll come by for baking, to help u eat the end product!! HAHAHA she still looks smaller la… sigh, i will always feel gigantic.. haha
Melva, lol… ok… since you never bake…. you can eat all the chao ta ones! Hahah! She’s a tad smaller la… but not as small as Chelsea!
Are u an air stewardess?
Onlooker, nope!
wow tat sounds really helpful! thanks so much babe! ur so kind!
Hi, the noodles that you all had looks nice. Is the noodle stall at downtown east or somewhere else?
Sarah, The noodles were so-so, not that fantastic but if you wanna give it a go, it’s inside Ehub near Mr. Chicken Rice.
Hi Renzze, enjoy reading your blog a lot. Need some advise from you, do you have any recommendation for affordable cheongsam for a petite gal? Tks in advance
pyxis, chongsums should always be tailored to fit in my opinion. There’s a seamstress that does chongsum on the 2nd floor of pple’s park market. It ranges from $80 to $200 if I remember correctly.
as in the short building next to OG? Do you have the name of the shop. So diff to get fitting clothes cos of my size
pyxism, yup that’s the building. I only remember it to be on the 2nd floor… not sure what’s the name.
Hi Renzze, enjoyed reading you blog. Anyway, need some advice and hope you can help. I’m going Korea in mid-nov. Season is autumn winter. Do you think trench coat is good enough or need a thicker winter coat? Saw a trench coat at Zara, but SA said more suitable for HK winter weather. Any advice? Thks!
Partricia,
Korea’s winter can be pretty cold. If you want to get a trench, get one with thicker linings. Or you could just layer up and buy your coats when you are in Korea. Don’t forget to wear your gloves and scarf!
hi renzze, may i know where are the dress + shoes u wore for Sing Dollar from? Very pretty
summer,
The dress is from ASOS and the shoes I got them earlier this year during my Japan trip.
nice outfit renzze! i love the shoes and the matching clutch! 🙂
Elven, thanks!
I reli like ur curls in this post ‘ Sing Dollar’. How did u achieve that bouncy curls? 🙂
Wendii, I already have permed hair so to have bouncier curls I have to blow dry my hair…. preferably with a diffuser.
Thanks!
Hey I wanted to get that Juicy Couture bikini on asos too but held back cuz of the price and now its all out of my size.. Good choice made! Love the colour combi! How much does the top and bottom piece cost in the SG boutique? Rem they cost 75 pds each on asos.. TIA!
Cal,
I can’t remember the exact price but it’s about $150 for top and $150 for the bottom.
sweetz, did you mention before you’re about 1.5m-ish?? you look really tall in your pics! pretty 🙂
gina, thanks, I’m only a tiny 1.55m.
where did u bought the purple heels?
phytan, I got it from melissa shoes.
Harlow, you are probably asked this question umpteen times, but where do you get your hair perm? Do you do additional curling at home? It always look so well curled, especially those in the loy kee chicken rice post!
shan, I’ve permed my hair at quite a few places… the last was at gorgeous hair. My curls are flat when I take photos before they are fully air dried. To get very obvious bouncy curls, I blow dry them with a round brush.
Hi Renzze! can i check where u got ur top with puffed checked sleeves in your last post at the airport?
Rose,
I got that in Korea.
Nice site!
wots the addy of the xo hokkien mee? they look so yummy! i totally wanna go try it! =)
esther,
You can check out their website at http://www.kims.com.sg/
Oh which part of Seletar Hills was that? I live so near but don’t recognise the place.
sunflower, I’m not too sure how to answer that cause I actually recognize the place by sight rather than road names. But you can see the row of shop houses from the main road and at the entrance there is a sign that states seletar hills.
hi renzee 🙂 i love reading your blog, im around your height and i love getting ideas on how to dress from you cos while you look young, you also always manage to look so willowy and elegant! noticed that you have so many pairs of cute wedges, where do you normally buy them? am always on the look-out for more. haha. take care and stay pretty 🙂
Amanda, I’m glad you enjoy reading the posts. I wear a lot of wedges cause they are a lot more comfy especially when I am out with my dogs a lot. It means that grass patches or sand is not difficult to navigate. I don’t buy my shoes from just one place… I buy them whenever it catches my eye. The last few pairs of wedges that I bought were from Takashimaya.
Fwah…didn’t know hawkers these days have websites!!!
Kanos, lol… nowadays everyone has a website! Hawkers as well! In fact I know some that has twitter or facebook too!
Your new conditioning tutorial video is awesome!! I love that you used magic tricks again! I really love your blog, you seem so nice!! I love reading your entries 🙂
Emeline, Glad you liked the video and thanks for the support! Lol… I added the cheesy magic trick in an attempt to give the video a more light-hearted tone.
Hey Karen.. can sent me the video of forest adventure when u uploaded it to computer? Thanks 🙂
Mike,
I’ll upload the video on my blog once it’s ready… don’t expect it to be soon though cause I’m pretty caught up these days and would be leaving for a trip next mth.
hi, I like your longchamp keychain. It is so lovely! I’m tempted to get one for myself
Del,
I’m not too sure if it’s selling at the local boutiques cause Sushi got it in Paris… but it’s worth a shot. I think it makes a cut bag charm too.
I heart Rockband! Did you get the Beatles edition?
Kanos, I sure did!
Love that peep-toe lace up booties! May I know where did you get them?
Candy, they are from melissa shoes.
i’ve been reading ur blog n’ i must say i love reading it 🙂 i saw ur friend, clara n’ her bf at pump room.. she has bang now..
Sweetgirl, thanks! Yup Clara now has bangs!
how much is that pair of slippers… heart it
kit, I heart it too! That’s why I bought it even though I wasn’t too sure if it’ll be too young for me. It’s not too ex… about SGD100++… I can’t remember the exact price cause I bought it together with a few other items.
hey renzze !
where did u brought the longchamp limited edition bag (the totebag with the badge )??? i thought its out of stock in sin ?
interested, I got mine when it first came out in London. Didn’t check the local store.
hi, where do you get the wedge ya wore in the outing with the girls from? can i ask what size do ya wear? =D
jessie, I got that pair from melissa shoes.
Hey girl, what number is your MaC eyelash? and how many times do you normally re-use one?
shelly, can’t remember the MAC lash no. but whenever I use MAC I go for the least dramatic one cause all their lashes are really long. I reuse them from 5-8 times depending how how long I wear them for.
I like your hoody dress! i like hoodies and i love grey! 🙂
xiaoxin, thanks! I like grey too!
hi renzze, i lovee reading your blog!!and you and clar skin is so glowing?btw is clara and gio together?
kinkigal,
Your comments made my day! Clara and Gio are no longer together.
Hi renzze, love seeing your daily outfit posts. Btw u look prettier when u smile wider eg. 1st pic of “homecooked with love” post (:
Audrey, lol… I will try to keep that in mind. But I tend to not really know how to smile on camera…. it’s the candid shots that are nicest.
Hi Renzze, may i know which salon did u go for your perm? The curls looks great!!!
peggy,
I’ve done my digital perm at a few places… you can try gorgeous hair near kallang.
Where’s next? 😉 Spent some time working out of SG and loved every moment of it (living out from the family home especially! :P)
Kanos, where were you working at? I’ve left the nest and have been independent since I was really young so being able to live with or near family is something i actually look forward to. I haven’t really decided my next location but I have a year to think about it.
Hi Renzze, how much did your perm cost at Gorgeous?
Shan,
I don’t remember the price already. It was some time back already.
Fucking lying cheating bastards should be treated like the scum they are.
sassygirl, I do hope they grow up and learn so that there’ll be less hurt girls in the world.
Ooo I love ur bag in ur “No signboard” post… It really suits u =) Where is it from? Anyhow, I’m sure with ur positive personality, U will be able to take on any challenges ahead!
Cal, thanks! The bag is from the purse heaven… you’ll see it more on my next post!
Nice outfit. Where is it from?
Starz, the dress is from shopbop, belt from HK, shoes from korea and bag from the purse heaven.
I was working at the Pearl of the Orient 🙂 You can guess where that is…! Go somewhere exciting. Like Africa 😛
I was working at the Pearl of the Orient 🙂 You can guess where that is…! Go somewhere exciting. Like Africa :PP
Kanos, lol… I will go to where opportunity presents itself.
your sister’s english is really really shocking! so much for calling herself “abc girl”!
passerby,
My sister isn’t abc, not sure where you got that from. I’m definitely not… I’m a born and bred in Singapore gal!
I don’t mean to wish ill upon people but what i mean was that if their shocking behaviour was meant with swift and harsh backlash they’d be more incline to learn by pavlova conditioning of sorts that that’s unacceptable behaviour. heh. But yea it takes some kind of a sociopath to do such things and they r such disgusting low life that get really pissed off, esp when the girl is a sweetheart =<
Ooo and im glad you worked those shoes.. don’t waste a pair of gorgeous shoes =P
Sassygirl, what goes around comes around. =) Yes I will try to use my shoes more often too!
Can i know where you get the dress you wear in your “Mooncakes 2009” ?
hazel, I got it at AMK Hub. One of the stores on the 1st floor i think.
hi, may i know where did u get those cute lunch box? thank!=)
vivinny, The brown tinkat was bought in Japan from one of my fave stores called “Afternoon Tea”. The blue ones are Lock Lock from any supermarket.
Wow.. Ur homecooked food looks truly appetising… How I wish I can whip up a storm like that!
Cal,
Those are pretty easy home cooked food… like sandwiches and fried rice. I’m sure you’ll have no problems cooking them too!
Hi Renzze, your chicken mayo looks good, mind sharing your receipe. thank you
Charmaine,
I boil chicken breast till it’s cooked. I retain the stock for use with other dishes. Then just leave the cooked chicken breast to cool or wash them under cold water then de-bone and shred the chicken meat. Mix the shredded chicken with some mayo, add salt and pepper to taste and that’s it!
Mind sharing where you normally browse for the latest fashion?
hazel,
I don’t have a specific place I browse for the latest fashion. I guess from time to time I’ll read magazines and browse the catalogs that the stores send or if I have time on my hands I’ll look at blogs.
Hi Renzze..may I know the price for the marc jacobs ring? So cute & lovely!
Jessica & Ling & Summer, hey babes… sorry I can’t disclose the cost of the ring here cause I bought 2, one as a pressie for a friend and she reads this blog too! But the ring is still available at the stores as it’s from their latest collection so do check it out!
Hi babe, how much did you buy the marc ring for? Thanks 🙂
hihi, may I noe how much did you pay for the Miss MARC ring? it looks lovely 🙂
hi renzze! i love your hair…is it permed? ^^
claire, yes my hair is permed.
renzze, may i know where u buy your outer piece that you wear with ur bikinis? Love both the white and brown ones that you have.
Barley,
The white and brown crochet piece is bought in HK.
Hi Renzze, we are planning on a trip to Bali and would like to check with you which hotel/resort did you reside in? Thanks.
shufen,
We stayed at The Grand Bali and later on at Khayangan Estates.
hi there. you look really beautiful.probably 1 of the sexiest gal i’ve seen in a long time
joshua, thanks.
Hi, do u happen to know which bridal salon and location did sushi take her wedding pix?
S, she took her photos with John Lim in New Zeland and Paris.
the resort is oh-so-beautiful!
yuting, yes I love it!
the wedding is so gorgeous! so do the bride and bridemaids=D bali is soo beautiful. just like a dream wedding to me<3
Jessie, thanks! The wedding really is stuff dreams are made of.
Hi, may I know the bridesmaids dresses are custom made or from the bridal shop. It look very nice:)
Pauline, the dresses are custom tailored.
Their wedding are spectular and sooo soo blissful. I bet we all feel the love in the air and have a sudden urge to get married soon. This must really cost a bomb wif wedding planners and destination wedding. How envy I am!
S, lol… yes their wedding was one of the best i’ve been to. And they are such a loving couple too!
renzze, i suppose even the blinds can tell!Aw…cant wait to see ALL the wedding procession!
S,Next up will be the wedding dinner.
hi, where to get the animal shaped sandwich cutters from? thanks
ham, I got most of my cute cutters in Japan.
goodness.. the whole wedding is so fairytale & beautiful! the place is gorgeous and the set up of the whole thing, it makes me wanna get married too! v intimate wedding which i so wanna have … that is if i have enuff cash haha. congrats to sushi and her prince!
Kate,
I guess sometimes as long as the people that matters are there, it’ll be beautiful. There’s no need for a big wedding all the time.
Congrats to Daryl & Sushi!! This is indeed a great & romantic wedding !!
Yvonne, thanks.
Hi Karen, may i know what is the title of the song from the video clip..thnx
E, which video clip are you referring to?
daryl and sushi’s wedding is so beautiful! love your coverage.. btw may i know who did sushi’s evening make-up? she looks so gorgeous. wow..
Aw..so sad..tats the end! I m still in the married mode set by sushi and daryl…haven get over it yet!
S, lol… it’s more exciting to plan your own!
Hey renzze, will there be encore…if we ask for it…hahahahah!!!!
S,
lol… if i get enough request… maybe…
what a beautiful wedding! thanks for sharing!! may i ask where did you purchase the crystal-studded shoes you wore for the wedding and the eyelet white dress you worn for the Rehersal post? thanks!
Serena,
Yes it’s a beautiful wedding. The shoes I wore are from Lucino. The white eyelet dress is from F21.
hey babe..may i know where i bought the blue crochet top?thanks =)
ling, I got that in BBK.
hi renzze, i have a silly question here. do you have to take off your boots before boarding the plane when going through the check? cos i realized you fly often & wear boots to the airport. i have no idea who to ask & i’m traveling to a cold country soon. sorry if i seem really dumb.. thank u!
your reader, I don’t normally have to take off my boots unless it’s a US flight.
Hey babe, hw many days were u there? And which resort did u rotated…it was grand bali u said earlier..than the private estate…and….?
S, I was there for close to 2 weeks and I rotated back to Grand Bali later on.
One suggestion thot..is to share yr great deals..with cost. I guess it helps for ppl who want to enjoy the similar treatment u had but on the other hand, i know it will invite some to say tat u r flaunting yr wealth! Mixed reaction always
S, I find it a tad crude to talk about prices cause it’s not difficult to find out the costs if one is truly interested. Besides, I buy different things at different times and places that I honestly don’t really keep track of the prices!
Hi, may I know where you got the black see through sequin top that you wore to the safari park? It’s really pretty 🙂
Jan, ASOS!
Hi Renzze!The wedding of Sushi and her Hus is PERFECT! OMG! Really *WOW*! Everything is PERFECT! The colour theme of Sky blue and white is such a Beautiful choice! Bridemaid’s dress also PERFECT! Like Fairytale indeed! And Sushi looked Gorgeous! And so LoVinG with her hus! *CONGRATS*! I feel so happy for them too! And think this wedding is PERFECT! Everything!!! 😀 😀 😀
Vivien, The wedding was really gorgeous… one of the best I’ve been to. And Daryl and Sushi are really sweet together too!
I didn’t notice the safari / marine park though I thought I saw a brochure – where is it near? Looking from the pictures, seems like I would give it a miss since I’m headed for the real deal in SA in Dec!
Kanos, It’s near Ubud. SA sounds fantastic, I saw some SIA 10 day deals recently and was tempted but maybe I should hold out till after the craziness of the world cup dies down… lol.
Babe, any idea which area has more afforable apparel in Japan? Is Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro near Shibuya? which place do u recommand for shopping? TQ!
Vivi, You can try harajuku for more better deals. Sakura hotel is in Ikebukuro, not near Shibuya but you can get there by train. Shibuya 109 is my personal favorite shopping spot but it’s not the cheapest place.
hey babe, are u using a DSLR camera? the pics are nice..
shirley, I do have a DSLR but my bali shots were taken with my normal compact camera.
hi renzz, where did you get the black chiffon top from? very lovely on you 🙂
lin, ASOS.
hi, i also would like to know how much is the drivers in bali charging for a day? can u also recommend him? i am going to bali mid nov and have not plan anything yet
Vivi, how much depends on where you are headed and what activities. You can contact Magnum at Tel: + 62 (0) 361 – 758 387 or 85 72 590
Mobile/24 hour hotline: + 62 (0) 8123 761 977 but nov might be pretty rainy to visit Bali though.
Heya! i just came across your blog because im going hong kong and wanted tips! i think your pictures are damn cool man! haha anyway wonder if you listen to 91.3fm 🙂
Boy Thunder, Thanks and hope you find the info helpful. I scroll through most of the English radio channels when I’m driving. Are you the real deal? =)
haha oh erm ya i am. I do mornings and the hot30 at night 🙂 will say hi to you at exactly 830pm tonight lol. Cos I AM THE REAL DEAL! 🙂
Boy Thunder, Thats cool! lol… I just had to ask! These days you can never believe everything you read.
Boy Thunder, heard you on radio… lol… now I know 🙂
Hi, can i know which camera did you used throughout your Bali Trip? Thanks!
val, I used my trusty old canon Ixus 860IS for my whole bali trip.
10 day deals? You mean guided tours? I actually gave the exact same itinerary to a tour planner and quote was about 20% more expensive per person! Better to DIY and negotiate if you have a group! And I’ve been advise to go there before the World Cup cos thats when security is being beefed up…after that, its all downhill!
Kanos, the Bali climb is only 4 or 5 hours. Fuji is a much greater challenge! I don’t think I’ll be visiting SA in a big group… given an option I always like to do my holidays F & E.
How long did it take you to climb the Bali volcano? Took me 8 hours to summit Fujisan (with human traffic jam!)
now i understand y u r so slim. u r so full of energy. haha!! loves all the activities u did in Bali.
Eileen,
Lol… I only get to expand my energies when I go to places like these.
Oh no you don’t need a big group 4-6 persons is enough. And mine’s F&E all the way. It can be a headache trying to make it all work but rewarding when it materialises!
Kanos,
Oh 4 -6 seems pretty do-able. Share with me when you’ve gone for your trip!
Hi can I know where your friend sushi got her diamond shoes for her wedding? I love it sooo much! any idea how much it cost? cos i would like to get one for my wedding too!
Missy,
It’s from Takashimaya shoe deptartment, lvl 1. It’s $399.
hi, cute checkered bikini ! where from? thanks !
hunbun, its from juicy couture.
wow ur waist – to die for!! how u maintain a flat tummy n slim waist?? btw it’s pretty scary to hold the bat. can see that u r a very daring person. :p
Eileen, lol… you only live once so unless it’s harmful to yourself or others, it good to give everything a go. A small waist is genetics but I don’t exactly have a flat tummy… so I’m actually a little self-conscious of bikini photos. I do what most girls do… just stand straight and hold my breath for a photograph! lol. But having an active lifestyle and bringing my dogs out for walks often does help maintain. I do like to swim too.
hey babe.. i went Bali in June dis yr. love it! But nw den i realise there are so many other interesting places to explore! shall visit there again nxt yr! 😀
elyn, yes Bali is a beautiful island. I’ve been there many times myself and yet discover new things whenever I go back.
Hi Renzze,
I’ve been a great follower of your blog. Your photos were all wonderfully taken! May I know who’s the fantastic photographer who has been taking most of your shots? :p
Aeris, thank you! Pictures that does not contain myself inside are usually taken by me. Those with me in them are taken by my SO, family or friends.
I agree with u that we only live once n shld try to give everything a go but sometime u need a little courage at that moment or encouragement or a company (that is my case thou). ya and i especially love ur furballs.
Eileen, I need a little push sometimes too! And good company is always welcomed! I haven’t blogged about my 2 little fur balls in awhile… but you’ll see more of them on my blog soon!
Hi Renzze! Great photos of Bali! Thanks for sharing! Could I ask you for the contact of the tailor who did the dresses for your friend’s wedding? I think you shared it before but as a reply to a tag. Need a new tailor for my bestie’s wedding. Thanks! 🙂
Ling, you can look for Kim. Blk 246 #11-359,Tampines St 21, Tel: 67831963
hi, wld u be giving a update of what is avail at the yard sale? sorry cos i m staying in the west hope to find out more b4 making the way there..
shermaine, I just did a post! But actually it’s impossible to state all that we are selling because there are so many! And the girls have gorgeous clothes to let go… I’m only a small part the yard sale.
Hi Renzze, love your blog! and you outfits too! This blog has become my daily read even though i dont know you in person. Great work to blog daily! Cheers! Oh please update your cute doggies! 🙂
Nicole, thats so sweet of you to drop me a note. I’ll blog about Louis and Emmie soon enough… they are such a permanent fixture in my life so I can’t avoid blogging about them too.
I love your posts! How can i buy one of your cute dresses?
Krystal, the best way is to come to the yard sale I’m having this Sunday!
hey where is this place that u went for a job? i m looking for some place to take photo, pls recommend. Thx in adv
ant, place that I went for a job?
Hi Renzze, may I know what is the nearest MRT station going to ur yard sale?
What bus no. can I take to go there from MRT? Thk u
Bebe,
The nearest MRT is Kembangan station. I’m not too sure about bus service though.
Hi Renzze, may I know where did you get the water bottle for your furkids from?
Sarah,
I got it from Pet Safari.
hi, what program did you use for your video montage and photo montages? thanks!
sunflower,
I used Pinnacle.
hello hello! the nearest mrt stations to 11 Lor Siglap (aka the venue of the yard sale) are Kembangan and Bedok. From Bedok, you may catch bus service 40 from the bus interchange and alight at the 5th stop (after Elite Park Ave). After which, walk backwards to Lor Siglap which is a mere street away from Elite Park Ave. Hope that helps! See you tomorrow 🙂
sorry, i mean the jogging pics, may i know where is the place?
ant, ahh… sorry but it’s my dog’s secret location!
Hi Renzze, wondering if the cardigan and yellow tube dress is still available?
xblissx,
The cardigan has already been sold but the yellow tube long top is still available.
hi Renzze, i’ve missed the yard sale last weekend,any more upcoming up again? care to share where do you usually shop for your clothes? care to share the portal? They are gorgeous! 😉
Shir, we are intending to hold another yard sale soon… I’ll update again when I have more info. I don’t have a particular place where I shop… I tend to buy as and when something catches my eyes.
Babe,i m reading ALL your bali post again becos i hope to go bali next Jan to celebrate my hubby’s bday…U know… there r soooo many posts to cover..I wish myself happy reading and ‘envy-ing’..
S, I do hope the posts would be some help for your holiday planning!
babe, have u bought anything from pinky fashion? they cheated me out of $30, my item nvr came =(
I, oh no… thats unfortunate. I’ve never bought anything from pinky fashion before… I’m assuming it’s a blog shop? Did you ask for registered mail?
No, it’s a shopping site like ASOS. I’ve always used normal mail with no troubles at all. Utterly upset with their service. =(
I, when online shopping goes wrong it can be rather upsetting… I do hope that they are doing something about the issue so they don’t lose another valuable customer.
Hi! The dress that you wore to the burberry event is gorgeous! Where did you get it from?? Love it!!
Jan, Thanks. The dress is from Armani Exchange.
They didn’t even try to be helpful when I asked for assistance… Just my luck man.
I, well… there are many other places with great stuff to spend your money… don’t let them spoil your mood!
i saw u in Pasir Ris, you look very diff in person. u seem super tiny. how tall are u?
s, oh when did you spot me? I am pretty small… 1.55m only!
Hi Renzze, you mentioned that you bought a DLSR. Can I know which model? Thanks babe!
Serene, I have the Canon 500D.
Hi renzze, is your 2nd home in sing or other countries? The scenery is fantastic.
Jen, my home away from home is in KL =) So I guess I should be heading there more often now.
beautiful place for your 2nd home!!! the view and surroundings is great!
lil_piggie, thanks… it’ll be good to get away from fast-paced Singapore once in awhile.
hi, the fried chicken seems so good, can i have the address in kl?
Charmaine, it’s at SEA Park in Petaling Jaya.
little animals are just so adorable….
xiaoxin,
yup! Just like your bunny. How have you been? Didn’t see you at Gen’s wedding.
Thanks Karen. You take very nice pics 🙂 Enjoy looking at them!
Serene, thanks!
Hi, knowing that you also love your dogs.. here I have a tribute video for my dog. Hope you like it and share it with those who also have the passion for dogs…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnySgoUxwIo
Stephy, thanks for sharing, it was heartbreaking to watch. I’ve lost my previous Pomeranian, Melody, to old age but those memories remain. I’m a lot older know and even more attached to Louis and Emmie so I can’t bear to think of the day they might leave me.
Hi Renzze, just wondering when u mentioned :” leather protector” for the apple garde spraying… what is it actually. are u referring to the apple garde or some piece of cloth etc.
have u tried it on LV and does it make the thread turns darker.
When should we re-spray it again. Tia!
Btw how do u store yr Chanel bags.
Eve, apple garde is a type of leather protector but it can be used on various bag materials as well. I’ve sprayed on my LV palermo and initially after spraying the whole bag is darker but once it drys off and I’ve wiped it down it’s back to the original color… including thread. Just mist lightly and not soak the bag with the spray. You can respray whenever you feel that the water repelling effect has worn off… normally I only spray my bags when it’s brand new and when I decide to clean and condition it. Leather needs more care but LV canvas seems to be less likely to get dirty. I have too many bags so I don’t store them as well as I should. But ideally, store your bags away from sunlight in a cool dry place with moisture absorbers. You can put paper stuffings in them to keep the shade… and air it once in awhile if you don’t use it. Don’t store them in plastic bags cause leather needs to breath!
oic. Thanks. btw have u tried them on yr LV vachetta and do they still patina? I dont like to see darken strap etc. Do u cover up the chain etc, hardware (gold) or u also just sprayed on it.
Eve, I’ve used Apple Garde on most of my LV and so far the strap seems to be pretty light still. There is no need to cover the hardware if you are using apple garde.
Can I know which estate or golf course is that in KL? Might have to relocate to KL one day.
eve, I’m not too keen on disclosing the exact location due to privacy issues but there are tons of gorgeous estates of golf courses in KL… by the time you are intending to buy your place the prime areas would have expanded!
babe! i asked about where to shop in beijing some time ago, dunno if u rem me..anyway, i’ll be going to UK soon. do u think it’s worth it to buy LV/Chanel there? please advise,thanks so much in advance!
nicky, yes I remember. Chanel is definitely much cheaper in London after the tax rebate and it helps that the pounds are low now. I’m looking to score some myself! LV, is cheaper in France… I don’t know about UK since I haven’t bought LV there before but I guess it should be cheaper as well.
Thanks babe! Ur always so kind to reply, even to strangers like me! I’ll bear ur advice in mind, cheers! 🙂
Nicky, No worries! Enjoy your holiday.
Hey did you try the beef noodles behind Jln Alor? Its quite a famous stall in KL!
PS. Yur place seems to be in Damansara / Hartamas area…
Kanos, nope I haven’t tried it though I’ve tried other stuff at Jln Alor area.
Hi, just wondering what do you work as? U seems to be able to jet off for holidays ever so often!! *envious*
Cheers, I’m in the research line… it’s hard work especially near datelines but I get more time off during the off peaks.
Hi Renzze, May I know how much you spent on the Gucci heart-shaped hp lanyard in your previous post?
Mich, I can’t remember since I bought it some time back already but it’s about $2XX.
I cant remember which day exactly, but U seemed slightly less than 1.5 m tall
s, I’m definitely a lot more than 1.5 even with flats so maybe it’s the wrong person?
Hi Renzze, I am really envious that that you can manage your time so well, juggling your work, travelling, home with your 2 babies, your family and finding time to update your latest findings online. I am in fact feeling rather down now because I can’t seem to complete and clear my work before I fly off to Japan. And becoz I have been so busy with work, my hubby has to do all the planning. I am feeling so guilty now. Just Curious.. do you have a maid at home?
pinky, there’s no need to be envious at all… I’m in constant sleep debt!!! In a relationship it’s all about give and take so while your hubby does the holiday planning because you are so busy, you can always make it up to him when you are in Japan! And no, I do not have a maid… I don’t have kids so I’ve no problems cleaning up after myself and my 2 dogs.
hi, may i know what camera are u using? thinking of getting one. thanks:)
hl, I’m interchanging between the canon ixus 860I and a canon 500D.
Karen, forgot to ask you what lens you are using for your 500D 🙂
Serene, I’m using the kit lens.
wow, big purple cake, is it yam?
ds,
Yes! It’s yam.
May I know where did you bought your FIL’s bday cake from?
Corr,
From a bakery near parksons in KL.
girl, any idea how to widen leather boots for girls with big feet?
baby, you can try bringing it to shukey… i think they do widening.
KFC, Singapore or Malaysia sure beats Australia 🙁
BigB3n, I haven’t tried KFC in Australia though… unless you count red rooster.
Karen, where is the blue/grey dress from? TIA
Serene, sorry but which blue/grey dress from which post are you referring to?
I’m pretty sure that was u cos I saw your dogs too. When did u last measure urself?
s, i got measured at the doctor’s last month but if you don’t believe the scales, do come up to say hello the next time you spot me and don’t forget your measuring tape! It’ll be nice to see you face to face and put you at ease once again.
Hi Karen, just wanted to check if the Apple Garde Rain & Stain Repellent and Leather conditioner can be use on Tod’s bag. Thanks!
Joanne, which Tod bag is this? You can use the Apple Guarde Rain & Stain Repellent on most surfaces so no need to worry. As for the leather conditioner, you can only use it on leather surfaces so do check with you SA if it’s made of leather.
Renzze, the post on 27 November, the one with beaded. TIA. And i like the top u wear on 29 November as well.
Serene, The beaded grey dress i wore is bought from FEP and on the 29th, I wore a blue dress… not a top. It’s from Chloe. PS – I’m letting the beaded grey dress go at $16 inclusive of normal post.
hello, how much did you get your LV lunch bag?
TT, I can’t remember the exact price cause I bought a few items that day and it’s been awhile… but i think it’s about $400++ or $500++.
Hi karen, bought the bag from reebonz. I remember the description says leather…any way I can check to be sure? Thanks!
Joanne,
You can just bring the bag to the TOD boutique to get more information about it. Or maybe email the picture to lovingyourbags and see if they are able to help you since I’m sure they have a wealth of experience dealing with all sorts of bags. But on a whole, I don’t think there will be any issues using the apple guarde and apple conditioner on your bag. Since it’s brand new…. there is no need to condition it first… just use the rain and stain repellent.
U sound pretty offended..the reason why I came to that conclusion is becos my sis is 1.52m and she was wearing school shoes walking next to you and U looked obviously shorter than her. no offense gal.
s, I’ve been entertaining you with the same question for about 3-4 replies now… and there is nothing I can do if you want to ask a question but not willing to accept my answer except to measure for yourself isn’t it? And the fact that you hide behind a “new email” address for every posting doesn’t make it seem any more friendly. I could have deleted all your msgs but I’ve tried my best to answer… now what do you want from me?
hi renzze, i was just puzzled as to why you lied to me about ur height. im dead sure im right, if u dun believe me, get ur hubby or some one taller to measure u.
S, How can you can me a liar and not expect me to be offended. I do not hide behind an anonymous nick and make baseless remarks. I put my photos and videos out there for all to see and have met many readers personally at my yard sale and other events. Lying about height is a stupid accusation. How about I propose a $1000 bet with proceeds going to a charity of my choice. There will be cameras, video camera and it will be open to all my readers as well. It will be publicly blogged and you can get your satisfactory answer while I’m measured. If you are as dead sure as you say about what you saw then you have nothing to lose. If you are wrong I won’t gain anything but some charity will benefit from your donation.Please email me your name and contact so I can get the right people to draft up the full disclosure contract.
Hi S, I am a frequent reader of Renzee’s blog. Normally I will not post anything onto her tag box. But now, I can’t help but got to ask you ‘What does her height got to do with you?’ and, ‘What benefit can Renzee get from lying to you about her real height?’ You are really weird to get upset about all this.
Passerby, well once in awhile I get people who come to my blog accusing me of the strangest things. It always surprises me how my height, weight, personal life or friends would make such a huge interest to them. And I normally let it go but I definitely do not appreciate being called a liar… Of course on the other spectrum I do have really nice readers… some of them have even become friends.
s> i don’t know wat satisfaction you’ll gain out of proving your point right down to millimetres. does it matter? if you think karen is trying to increase her height, it won’t be for like 3cm difference. seriously get a life!!!
Diana, lol… it’s more than a 3cm difference since he/she claims I’m shorter than 1.5m. But it’ll be good money for charity if he/she does take up the challenge.
Hi Renzze, have emailed you regarding the payments details of beaded dress. Do let me know if you did not receive my email.
Serene, I’ve emailed you. Sorry for the late reply… I missed your email.
hi Renzze. Where did you get the ramen cake from? Its so cute!Thanks!
mel, It’s from yiling bakery. Here’s the addy. Blk 681, #01-817
Hougang Ave 8
Singapore 530681
Tel: 6386 6666
i love the shoes on you !! heh too bad i got monsta feet even size 39 also cannot fit .. so sad 🙁 i spoil my one and only ballet flats liaoz
Diana, The silver flats are meant for narrow and small feet… lol… but I think the owner got quite an number of feedbacks from her customers and will be looking into improving her collection… hopefully she does bigger sizes for you too.
renzze, i love the suggestion of having the bet *lol*.
as for the “S” person, seriously i don’t know what’s ur point in posting so many comments abt someone else height.
Barley, I don’t really have much to lose and hopefully the generous donation might give S some more important life matters to think about other then some blogger’s height.
muahahah! that s is making himself or herself look so stupid!! hahah! All the way Karen! 🙂
Wow, I’ve been away from my blog for less than a day and my tag box is flooded with comments over the issue with S. I’ve issued my statement and gonna let the matter rest… if there is any need for an answer he/she will know how to contact me. Otherwise, lets all move on from this unpleasant scenario and focus on the lovely holiday season! It’s less than a month to Christmas! I always love christmas… lets talk about everyone’s Christmas plans instead!
xiaoxin, thanks for the encouragement! We still haven’t met up for a cooking/baking session!
love all ur recommendations for shopping from blogs and i even introduce those blog shops to my frenz =) anyway may i know how much it the chanel ear rings that u were wearng when you r driving in the car pic =)
shan shan, glad you love the posts. The classic crystal studs were $360 when I bought them some time back already… Chanel prices increases steadily all the time so it’s probably around $400 now.
S’s family sounds like their in the private investigator business stalking ppl all day n night hahaha
Vectors, I really don’t know and honestly don’t care…. lol
I am a silent reader of Karen’s blog. In this world there is some people who is envious of others success and achievement and would do anything to put the person down. What they never realise is, success comes to those who make effort in managing themselves. Karen, stay happy and forget about those who do not deserve your attention…
Jo, Thanks for your sweet and kind words.
hey renzze, this is deebz. omg that s person is a total retard goodness. why does your height matter so much anyways? cheers. my first post at your tag board 🙂
deebz, great to see you here! You haven’t been posting as often at cc! Miss your outfit posts!
Jie’ Well that “S” person say so much but never took up the challenge u gave him or her!
Janice Shermaine, don’t get so riled up girl! I know you mean well and I love you for that but lets not go pointing fingers and making assumptions as well ok?
Jie i want to say this but Jo already said it so yup what she wrote there is true some people like “S”just envious your success and achievement so she or he need to bring u down. Like what vectors n me think that “S” like stalking u, say saw u n all that. That “S” person really need to get a LIFE!
Karen Jie’
Stay happy, stay the way u are n just go on blogging cause your blog is still <3 by all of us here! U propose a $1000 bet with proceeds going to a charity, but that "S" person is like so scare to even put the real name or email u to take on the bet. "S" has no life!
“S” should be a girl cause she type on your tag box here in the past, i was reading your tag box msg n here is what “S” wrote: (hope to go bali next Jan to celebrate my hubby’s bday…. I wish myself happy reading and ‘envy-ing’..!)
TO:”S” u must be having a sad life that’s why u got to say other people who are better than u. u cant get the life she have! Well “S” if u saw her than why dun u just go up face to face? “S” u have nothing better to do in life but to talk about “height”! Oh, look like u still enjoy n love coming renzze blog to read because u can only read n bitch about it, u really make people look down on u cause u are being dumb here in the thing u type!
Well BOY OR GIRL it not the point, the point is this person no life to have to read your blog n talk so much crap like how tall u are… so lame…! hahahah
Hi Janice/Renzze, I had previously made comments on your tags esp during the daryl and sushi wedding and of cos about me gog to bali in Jan as what Janice has pointed out. However, although i share the same nick as the other “S” that keep harping abt your height issue, I believe u – Renzze will be abt to clear my name tat me S, is not the S who kept harassing you abt the height thinggy. I m truly innocent who happened to share the same nick as her. Hope Janice do me justice but not involving me in this issue. Thanks. **the email i included everytime at comment will able to prove my innocent. Thanks.
S, Sorry about the misunderstanding from my sister… she’s young and very defensive so do not take it to heart. As what I mentioned to the other s, it’s the hiding behind different emails and anonymous nicks that makes the accusatory tone even more vile. Anyone can assume any identity online and similar nicks especially single letter ones like yours are common. And in such a situation it’s a common mistake to jump the guns. Hopefully this will clear things up a little.
Pls do not asssssssume that all the S’s comments r made by the same person. Anybody can key in the any nick and coincidence like entering the same nick does happens. But what that S claimed is not what i said..so pls dont put 2 and 2 together and put this assumption. Its rather sad to be maligned. I used the nick S becos my email and name began wif S. Hope all this clarifies and clears my name and distinct against tat S. if i m not wrong, she uses small caps whereas i used big caps!!!!!!
hi Renzze, just wanna let you know that I think you are doing a great job with your blog. I enjoyed reading it tremendously. Do not know what’s the hooha about your height [I saw you once at Chinatown and you sure am petite] but I do think you look great!! 😉 BTW, nice curls you’ve got in the picture. Did you curl it yourself?
Jenice, Thanks… I am definitely petite! My hair is permed so when I blow dry, it enhances the curls.
hi, possile to share where u got the ramen cake made? wow ! wonderful looking cake ! wow !!
pieceofcake, it’s from yiling bakery. Here’s the addy. Blk 681, #01-817 Hougang Ave 8 Singapore 530681 Tel: 6386 6666
Hi, i love the 4th photo of your dogs. louis looks so serious, like he’s deep in thought 🙂
Ing, lol… Louis is very photogenic… a natural gift.
Hi, I have a similar pair of ballet flats from Pazzion, (really similar to the one you promoted for Xquisis!), it was painful like hell for me!! Didn’t the elastic band at the back part feel uncomfortable? I had blisters in front and at the back after wearing for just 10 mins! 🙁
wen, That’s the thing with shoes… it never really fits the same for different people cause everyone’s feet is different. Even expensive $2000 loubie heels doesn’t guarantee no blisters. For all you know a $2 flats found at a bargain bin might be the most comfortable shoe for you! In my opinion, the Xquisis silver flats is more suitable for girls with narrow feet. My most comfortable flats ranks from 1. Repetto, 2. French Sole and lastlly 3. arche but in terms of prices… they are on the higher side.
Thanks for the reply 🙂 My feet is narrow too, to the extent of not having much flesh, but still suffer from blisters wearing those elastic band type of flats, those that strap to the back of our feet.. 🙁
Ohayou gozaimasu again! I volunteer to be the referee and neutral party if there’s gonna be a disclosure contract! 50% of proceeds to charity of my choice! 😛
Kanos, LOL… an opportunist!
Hi Renzze, where did you get the blue dress that you wore when you went out with your sis and the dogs? It’s very cute?
Snoopy, that dress is from Chloe.
thanks for the prompt response!
Hi! chance upon ur blog when surfing flowerpop… u make looking good so effortless… anyway.. can let me know where u bought the top for ur sis’s 21st bday? thanks~
Jacq, thanks. I bought the top at FEP.
aww…louis is really cute. u rem i told u abt my pups i got few mths bk? i still didn’t manage to toilet train them *boohoo* hence they r still not allowed to roam freely in my hse. 🙁
Barley, How old are your little puppies now? Training dogs especially a whole bunch of them takes a lot of patience and effort… I still remember how I used to take leave just to spend time training Louis when I first got him… I sacrificed my leave to be with him instead of going on holidays!
Hi Hi it me again. Great updates on the doggies! Hee still cute and flurry as ever! Oh by the way I’ve always wonder how took photos of you? You hub?
nicole, Hi =) It’s either my friends, SO or the tripod =)
ya loh! lets me up! but im a bad cook..haha..im quite free this month.. lemme know when u are available! 🙂
xiaoxin, I’ll be away again next week but we can meet the week before Christmas or if you have no plans for X’mas eve yet, you are welcome to join our house party.
pups are now 9mths old, i tired spending 1-2wks strictly monitoring/setting their schedule but somehw i feel they r trying their luck (always having accidents when they r out of my sight) 🙁
Barley, wow… already 9 months old! I guess they are still testing their boundaries. It’s always harder to have to teach more than one at at time…
Hi Renzze, I read ur comments abt the camera footage and the bet. Im happy to bet, let me know what is the height rang u are willing to bet on.
s, didn’t you say I was below 1.5m or even below 1.52 for that matter. What height range is there to bet on? How tall did you think I was? Let’s bet on that. Please email your full name, contact no, address and IC no. and I’ll get the right people to do a contract to send it to your place. We can discuss venue and other details as well. I can be contacted at renzze@gmail.com
hi, can i know what kind of bra did u wear with the red top shop dress? TIA!
bernice, I wore petal-like nipple covers. Didn’t wear a bra with that dress.
wow … the saga with s just continues … can it be a public place? i like to witness the “joy of satisfaction”
dye,
I never knew my height was such valuable information too.
Can I know what kinda bra did u wear with the ClunCouture black maxi with the crisscross straps? Thanks!
M, I wore a nubra.
Hi Renzze, how do you manage to still look so gd despite so little sleep! any tips for that? TIA! )
vace, lol… actually from the picture you can see that my face was really haggard and oily already!
Hi, didn’t realise you know Belinda. Spore is small!
winnie, I only knew her that night… lol
hahahah! my father also grew chillies… and he managed to grow starfruit too! haha…
xiaoxin,
Wow… your dad must have green fingers! Did he grow the starfruit in a pot or in a garden?
in a pot! thats the amazing part… hahaha!
xiaoxin, that really is amazing!!!

Able to share with us or give a tutorial how you organize your wardrobe for your clothes, bags, jewellery and shoes?
Pinky,
Actually I did put up photos a long time ago of my clothes… I didn’t share with everyone on my bags, and shoes storage cause they aren’t in my walk-in wardrobe and I wasn’t too comfortable with sharing my home for the whole world to see.
Hi renzze, it’s fine. 🙂 just that I noticed that you have a lot of clothes and wonder how you
How you manage storing your clothes, bags and shoes. I am doing spring cleaning for my room and have no idea how to organize them neatly.
Pinky, If I can find my old pictures after this crazy period I promise to put them up for you!
babe, what is your occupation? mind saying? 🙂
jo,
I’m in the research line… that’s as far as I’ll say!
Hi Renzze, thanks so much!
Hi Karen, Do update soon on your trip to penang! I am leaving for my first trip there on Christmas Eve!
JO, Hope you have a great Christmas in Penang! Unfortunately I don’t think my Penang trip photos will be ready for upload before you leave. But I’m sure you’ll have fun eating!! Gurney Drive has lots of good eats… try the 77 restaurant for curry fish head. And Hard Rock hotel could be a fun stay if you haven’t booked your hotel yet.
I will be staying at G Hotel. Would Hard Rock be a better choice? Other than the foods, what other stuffs are the “die-die” must do in Penang?
JO, My last trip was mainly for the foods but during my previous trips I’ve been to Penang, I’ve done snorkeling at Pulau Payar Marine Park, went to Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple, had water activities at Batu Feringhi Beach, fishing at Monkey Beach, visited their butterfly farm and botanic gardens ( be careful of the fierce monkeys!)
hi. where did you buy that top from in your post bon voyage melvin
yuting, it’s a dress actually and I got it at Vivocity… one of the store in the 2nd level… not sure of the name.
Hi, love reading you blog, it became a daily read for me! keep it up! Merry X’mas to u and ur hubby!
Cheryl, Merry Christmas! Thanks for your support =)
Thanks Karen! I hope the weather holds up for me to visit the butterfly farm and botanic gardens…. will let you know how i find Penang once I return on Sunday! Merry Christmas!
JO, Have a great time!
Greetings from Penang, Karen! i just thought i drop by your page to tell u that the weather here is good. We did some sightseeing and LOVE the food at Gurney Drive Hawker Centre! Think the overweight wont come from my luggage but from my over eating! haha! Have you heard of Bali Hi for seafood?
JO,
Sounds fantastic! Yes I tend to over eat a lot whenever I’m in Malaysia. I’ve been to Bali Hai once some time ago… they are famous for their live seafood and have a huge selection! It’s pretty good but I only went there once cause I’m allergic to seafood so it’s not a place for me.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. :0
Audrey,
Merry Christmas dear! Hope you are having a good time! Send my regards to your family and bf. =)
Would like to ask how much u pay for ur hair perming the previous time? and do you mind recommend any sunblock for normal day outing? Been having trouble trying to find a good one. And thanks!
hazel,
Gosh, I don’t remember how much I paid anymore. As for sunblock, I’m currently using Fancl one for normal days… when I go for beach holidays or lots of outdoor activities I’d use a stronger one.
honey I thought you were doing part time admin? Have you changed jobs?
yanyan,
Hmmm….I was never doing part time admin… where did you get that idea from? Do I know you?
hi
how to make the frosting? thanks
cookie,
I’m sorry I can’t broadcast my recipe so it’s for friends only but there are many recipe books out there with great methods of doing frosting.
so you selling clothes?
carene, I sell my pre-loved clothes from time to time to make space for new outfits but not always and not for a living.
Hi Renzze, I must say the more i look at Louis, the more i think it look like a fluffy soft toy, hahah..
Happy new year to you in advance! Hope 2010 will be a better year for us! Cheers.
Nicole, LOL… I always hug them like my stuff toys especially Louis cause he lets me do whatever I want to him with no resistance. Have a wonderful 2010 ahead!
I love looking at the photos of your fur babies =) Happy new year to you and your family!
sunflower, Thanks!!! Happy new year and more lovely days ahead for you and your family!
love reading your blog! by the way just curious, who takes the pics and videos of you during your trips? And I tried the forest adventure too, s’pore trees are never tall so we cant expect much but i think its still pretty fun! Try the one in germany next time *wink*
Alyssa, it depends on who is with me on my trips? It could be my SO, family or friends. We all rotate the duty around.
WHAT? You used TOP (as seem in the bg of ur photos) to wash Louis? Hahaha… With the detergent pdt in ur photos, it looked like Top is being used.
Nicole, LOL… the photos were taken at the groomers actually! I realized that the TOP they used to wash their rags were very prominent in the photo too!
hi renzze, what software do you use to make video and slides show?
mint, Sony Vegas or pinnacle.
hi renzze, where do you normally get your boots from? I’m heading to tokyo in 2 weeks and have to get boots or shoes for winter!
sunflower,
I have more boots then I could possibly wear these days so I tend to buy only when I spot nice onces overseas or if there’s a sale. The club 21 sale is usually a good place to stock up. Japan also has a great range of boots. You can consider getting a cheap pair from FEP or charles and keith then shop for more when you are in Tokyo. Those without heels are better for holidays with a lot of walking involved.
Happy New Year! How did you celebrate it? I was out in the wild literally with the animals and all on New Year’s Eve! 😛
Kanos, Happy New Year! So how was South Africa?
Happy New Year! How did you celebrate it? I was out in the wild literally with the animals and all on New Year’s Eve! 😉
hi renzze, i stumbled across your blog recently and now i can’t stop reading it! and i love all your pictures! may i know which camera you use because i’m thinking of getting a new point-and-shoot camera soon. thank u! =D
JL & Angie, I’ve got both a canon 500D DSLR as well as a canon ixus 860IS… as you can see I’m pretty much a Canon fan when it comes to camera. My point and shoot camera is actually pretty outdated already and I was considering the Panasonic LX3 cause I’ve tried it and it’s pretty good. But I’m holding my purchase till a better version comes out cause I don’t need a new camera just yet.
loving the smelly tofu entry 🙂 Happy New Year!!!
*jenn, Thanks! Happy New Year!
sorry if this has been asked. which camera are u using? 🙂
It was unreal! Went walking with the lions just like you walked your dogs!
Kanos, WOW!!! I would love to head there sometime!
I can show you photos (they’re not as well taken as yours though!) – have sent you a separate msg!
Kanos,
I saw your SA photos and they are amazing!!! It looks like an experience of a lifetime… I do hope I can find the time and company to go there as well.
hi Renzze, what is your occupation? you seems to travel a lot. 🙂
tammy,
I’m in the research line. That’s all I’m saying =)
muahahha! yes yes… she’s the fastest walking bride i’ve ever seen!!
xiaoxin,
Lol… I think Meisan is really fit cause wedding gowns are pretty heavy!
Were u car shopping today/recently ? I thought I saw on the news, what looked like your mom, dad and ?u at a car showrm…..
Tim,
I have been out of the country so I don’t think it’s me you saw.
your food entries are always so tempting… You are my favourite personal-life blogger!
*jenn,
That’s so sweet. Thanks for reading! I do like to eat as much as I love travelling! =)
hi, may i know if u take most of ur photos wif the dslr or ur point n shoot? they are really pretty
passer,
The photos are a little mix of both… DSLR takes really good depth photos but a compact makes more sense for activities or when I don’t want to put my bulky and sensitive DSLR in any possible harm. I’m trying to take more photos with the DSLR these days though.
Hehe it was certainly one helluva experience! Will respond to your note once I get past the Great Firewall (guess where I am!) – I think we avid travellers can do more to exchange tips!
Kanos, lol… I’m actually heading to where you are at this moment so I guess my replies are gonna be slow once again!
Haha, which part are you headed? Paris of the East?
Kanos, you hit the nail on the head!
waterfall is at botanic gardens?
hunbun, yes there is a man-made waterfall in the botanical gardens.
Just dropped you a mail! 😛
Kanos, Thanks! I got your SA costing mail.
is the waterfall at botanics? thanks
h20, yes the man made waterfall in located in the Singapore Botanical Gardens.
renzze, the photos u took for photomaraton were great! creativity runs thru u;)
Jessie, thanks!
Hi karen, the green dress that you wore to the full month celebration is lovely. May I know where did u get it from? Hopefully its from Singapore.
jocelyn, the dress is from DVF.
Wow! You’re in Paris of the East? Weather has picked up over the weekend. There are sales for lovely winter items going on. You can consider stocking up since you travel so often. =P
Ivy, Yes it was really cold when I first got there… about 1 – 2 C but it picked up the last few days though it should be getting colder again the next few days. I won’t be shopping much since it is more of a sightseeing and visiting friends kinda trip for me. But I do want to make a nice chongsum for CNY!
where did you buy that dress you wore to arielle’s first mth. is pretty. I like it!
chin, that green dress is from DVF.
Hi Renzze, your hair is so nicee. Where did you perm your hair? How much is it? 🙂
Xiuli, I’ve actually permed my hair in many different saloons over the last couple of years. My last perm was done in Tokyo.
Haha nt that one! Was seing if you guys wanted to do drinks in XTD or something! 😛
Kanos, whoops… didn’t get that mail though. Drinks at XMT would have been nice are you still there?
Nope! Umm…XMT or XTD? 😛 They’re in totally different places!
Kanos… lol… I meant 新天地 =)
Yeah thats what I meant! Might be headed up there within the next couple of weeks again – how long are you staying?
Kanos, I’m heading to KL soon so don’t think we’ll be able to meet up. Besides I won’t wanna be in China once the CNY mad travel rush starts!
hi you have lovely pics at the zoo! may I know what lens u used with your 500D? Thanks!
alexandra, I’m just using the kit lens.
Hi! The polka dot/stripes dress you wore to the baking class is so sweet. Where did you get it from?
Lynn, thanks. the dress was bought at one of the 1st floor shops in fep.
Hey Renzze, Where did you buy that Calpris Marshmallow?
Vivian… you can probably find it at mediya.
OMG! where did u get ur birthday cake from? And how much did it cost u?? It’s so pretty!!!
Wendy, the cake is from 1-carmel… costing is in the 3 digits… you can call them to ask about customizations cause different cakes have different prices.
hi renzze! what camera are you using? super nice photos! 🙂
claire,
I’m using the canon 500D
Hihi Renzze, care to share which salon u go for your perm? is that the digital perm? Thanks!
EP, the last time I retouched my perm was in Japan. It’s digital perm… I’ve actually put up the address here several times before… if you need it let me know.
thanks for the great info about hotels in Taiwan! I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I visit Taiwan! 🙂
*jenn,
There are probably a lot of other better recommendations… I tried Rainbow due to reviews from friends as well =)
hi, i think u hv great dress sense. where do u usually shop?
Qiqi,
I don’t really shop at one specific place… just buy whenever something catches my eyes… usually when I’m travelling. I also like to shop online at ASOS and at ClubCouture… you can find the image link above.
I think its not tomato. it is persimmon.
beibei,
I think you are right!
was wondering where u get ur heel in the picture you post in “New scarf =)”? thanks.
hazel,
I bought it in HK.
hi renzze, just a request 🙂 can you share your skincare and makeup routine. thanks 🙂
Claire, I am currently changing my skincare routine… am experimenting with some new stuff so if it works well, I’ll see some results in 2 months time and I’ll share it on my blog.
Hi Renzze,
I by chance came across your blog & find it very interesting!
Your photos were all well taken!
Do you mind to share what brand are your fake lashes? And any good tips for putting them on? I tried couple of times but the edges always poke into my eyes despite that I’ve trimmed it to the right length. Tia!
Angel, thanks for compliments. I am currently using fake lashes that I bought at the drugstores in Japan. Different brands but I find their quality to be quite good and more affordable then the MAC ones I used to buy. For putting on lashes… practice makes perfect… try not to put it to close to the inner edge of your eye if you find that it pokes into your eye.
hi,renzze…like to read ur taiwan journey article….coz i went there last year…is a nice country …hope u will share more ur journey story here….
shanny, thanks! Yes taiwan is a lovely place. I’ll try to update more on my trip soon.
Hey Renzze, how have you been? And your doggies?Love your outfits wore in ur taiwan trip! Have a good weekend!
nicole, I’ve been busy but otherwise fine =) Louis and Emmie are also as happy-go-lucky as ever… such is the simple joys of being a dog. You have a great weekend too!
Hi Renzze, i have been reading and enjoying your blog for ages, just had been lazy to drop a comment. Am shocked to learn that you don’t put on powder at all. Your complexion must be darn good and I am happy to hear that. Took a grooming course years ago and the groomer says good complexion and well-shaped eyebrows are the keys to a fresh face. So, you might want to consider shaping your eyebrows now since good complexion is the HARDEST to achieve and you already have that. =)
Charmaine, I’m glad you decided to comment. It’s always nice to know what my readers are thinking… or else this blog would be a one way street and not as fun! I generally don’t have much problems with my complexion so for the past 20+ years, my skin care routine has be really simple and organic. However, now that I’m approaching my 30s, fine lines have started to appear and frequent travels has made some of my nose pores enlarged. As such I’ve taken a friend’s advise and am trying a couple of new regiments. Meanwhile for the next month or so, I’m expected to have terrible skin as part of the renewal process. I will blog about it when the results have shown itself. I’ve also heard the importance of eyebrows and I’m ashamed to say I mostly don’t pay much attention mine at all. I don’t shape nor draw my bros… maybe when I have the time I might consider learning more so that I can shape my brows cause having to go to a salon to get them shaped is just time I don’t have on my hands these days.
Hi Renzze, i tried to click the eyyeffass but it dosent link to anywhere, possible to post up the site again?? thanks
Belle, I just tried the links and it works. The links opens the store in a new page…. so make sure your browser allows pop ups.
I have fine lines too though i am a couple of yrs younger than you. =( by the way, one thing i have always been wondering abt you is the amt you travel. how do you take time off from work???
Charmaine, I am lucky to be able to arrange my time but usually when I’m overseas I’m also submitting reports or coordinating meetings via laptop, BB or iphone. I’m really amazed how technology has changed the way we work.
You are lucky to be in a flexible company with a flexible boss then. I hold a deskbound job! =(
Charmaine,
I spent many years in a desk bound job before I finally landed on this one… I guess it all boils down to opportunity and experience.
hey babe, you look fantastic in the clubcouture shoot! As usual, your travel photos are gorgeous too! I need to pick up some skills from you! 😉
Regina,
Thanks babe! We should meet up soon!
Yes we should! Let me know when you’re free. 😉
Hi, I love your blogs and pictures. I was wondering what kind of camera you use for your pictures? SLR? I have a d60 but it doesn’t take such photos compared to yours. Thanks!!
Jennifer, Thanks! I’m for the photos on my blog, I’m either using a Canon 500D which is a DSLR or a Canon 860IS which is a compact camera.
I seem to remember that you said you are a researcher. Did i recall wrongly?
Charmaine, yes I’m in that field.
Huuaaat ah!! Happy CNY! Hehe was also sorting out some additional photos of my African jamoboree over the weekend with friends (check out the aerial views of the Falls)!
Kanos, I’ll go take a look at your FB photos.
hi, is the taiwan trip free n easy ?
plan, yes like most of my trips, this Taiwan trip was free and easy. I don’t like being on holiday with a tight schedule.
Hi!may i know how many days ya spent in tw???is it a free and easy trip?hmmm…I’m planning for my vacation but don’t know how to draft out my trip flow…hmmm… -.-
Jen, I don’t remember exactly cause I’ve been moving around too much these few months but it was definitely more than a week… maybe 9 to 10 days. It’s free and easy and other then deciding to go to Hualian, I actually didn’t plan much before the trip… kinda played it by ear.
I swear by Shida Night Market there imho they got the best food around. There’s also this no-name xiao longbao stall thats way better than Din Tai Fung too! I know how to get there but dunno how to tell you directions LOL!
Kanos, lol… a lot of my free and easy are planned casually when I’m already in the country… it’s important to be really flexible and not be too pressurized.
Actually free and easy can be tiring to plan and the general rule of thumb is not to crowd days with too many activities. One in the morning and one in the afternoon is plenty 🙂 How’s the SA planning / thinking coming along btw Renzze? 😛
hi. Understand u just back fm Taiwan. Was it very cold then? I’m going in late Mar-Early Apr. Any suggestions on what to wear there? 🙂 thks!
passerby, I’m not too sure how to advise you on what to wear as the weather these days are a little unpredictable all over the world. The weather in March/April should be in the 22-25C range so a good jacket should be enough to keep you warm in the evenings. I’m not sure if it’ll still be drizzling but you can always buy an umbrella there.
Hi hi Karen!
Would appreciate if you cud share with me the name of the stylist @ Cutti Hair Salon that attended to ur sis! Thks much!
Ally, I don’t actually remember the stylist name but there’s a photo taken of my sister with the stylist so you can use that as reference.
just a bit curious, there are many photos taken of the 4 of you together. do you use a tripod or is someone taking those photos for you?
jean, I have friends in Taiwan and some drivers too.
hap bday ! are u born in 81 0r 82 or 80
curioskat, I’m a 81 baby =)
Hi Karen, do you think you still have the add for the bakery for your chanel cake in yr 2009 and ur sis 21st birthday cake in ramen? I wanted to buy 1 for my mother. Hope to hear from you soon.
Stephine, you can inquire at http://www.1-caramel.com/ cause that’s where I did my cake. Your mum will love it!
hi
nice green monokini!
where from?
thanks
wear,
I bought it in Bangkok several years back. It’s one of my fave!
Hi Karen! Can I know where you stayed in Taipei? Do you have any good hotels to recommend in Beitou as well? Am going there end April 🙂
Celynn,
If you read back on my older posts, I mentioned I stayed at Rainbow hotel and even provided some photos of the place. Nothing great though it’s cheap and location is good. In Beitou you can try Spring City Resorts.
I love Yeh Liu too! Its just so beautiful! And don’t the rocks remind you of our Geography lessons and Mr Tam teaching us about their formations!! hahaha!
xiaoxin,
Haha I didn’t remember till you mentioned it! But yes our learning of rock formation does help increase the marvel we feel when we finally see nature first hand.
hi babe! may i know wat camera are u using?
Chris, sometimes canon ixus 860I and sometimes Canon 500D
look at the rock formation at Keelung again! haha! I miss geo classes!!! lol
xiaoxin,
Haha… it’s been such a long time. They should have given us more outdoor excursions then.
Hi, just like to know what hair product do you use to hold your curls?
Del,
For normal days I don’t actually apply anything. For evening affairs I’ll use cape hairspray and for day time casual I just tried out tony and guy’s twist it curl balm and it’s not bad.
babe, did u dye yr hair black? u just did yr perm right? can i know where u do it? Pretty!!
jessie, I didn’t dye my hair but I did do a cut and perm just a day or so ago. I did it at jeric’s bugis.
Thanks Karen, just wanted to check, u mentioned that you bought the toroko express tickets online, but i think the website mentions that you need to pick it up within 5 days, so did you only book the tickets when you were in Taiwan?
Celynn, I booked it in Singapore and paid by card so I could collect it on the day itself. I think if you want to pay via cash you have to pick it up earlier.
hey! i’m using fish4dogs too… my dog love them… actually she just love to eat. but i thought this is much healthier…
polarie,
Lol… I think quite a number of dog owners are using fish4dogs.
I feed my pooch fish4dogs too – they give him a really nice shine on his coat. Maybe I should eat some myself so I get a nice shine too 😛
Kanos,
LOL… have more fish oils and you’ll be glowing too!
OMG! im addicted to your blog….u & ur lifestyle is so attractive!
bigears,
I’m glad you enjoy reading my ramblings and sharing of photos.
Hi Karen, am heading to Bali and will visit the places u mentioned here…cheers
Laura,
Have a great time in Bali!! It’s such a lovely place.
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while. Luv to read about the your travel posts. Your dogs are so cute!
Arissa,
Nice to hear from you 🙂 I’ll try to do more travel posts when I can =)
u look much better in short hair !
hairy lee, lol… I’ve considered cutting short not too long back but most of my family, friends as well as readers voted against it. The short bob I wore on Halloween is a wig.
hi! may i know where you bought the Tai Yang Bing or Honey Malt Sunny Pie from taiwan?
ting, I saw the Tai Yang Bing at quite a few places in taiwan but I bought mine at Jiu Fen.
in a dog eat dog world, even owners have to resort to pimping their dogs for advertorial opportunities… sigh
jAded, lol… pimping dogs don’t get you advertorial opportunities and if you think that taking care and loving dogs over their lifespan of a good 10- 15 years would bring you any perks other then the love and companionship they give you then you might want to get to know dog owners better. Having dogs are a little like having children. You love them and slog for them and you can’t help finding them cute or take photos and sharing them with family and friends but at the end of the day it’s a lot of hard work and commitment and those who uses their pets in hope of advertorials are seriously deluded.
Hi, can I knw where u bring ur dogs for grooming?
Val,
I used to bring them to a Korean groomer at Frankel Avenue but at their next grooming session will be done at my place by a home groomer.
Thx!! Can I hav e contact of e hm groomer? My dog need to be groom;)
Val,
I’m currently out of town but I’ll email you the contact as soon as I get back to Singapore.
Hmm, I’ll be admiring their cleavage and tell them that too! How’s that for honesty? 😛 Honesty’s the best policy really!
Kanos, if you are sure that the person you are telling it too can take the truth then why not!
Renze, can i ask which camera u use to take these beautiful pics?
Joelle,
Canon 500D.
Sure;) thanks!
Val, the home groomer’s contact is 90696984. She’s called Lerelyn. However, I’m bringing my dog next week for grooming at les pooch instead.
may i ask how do you style your curls & what product do you use to hold the curls daily? thanks!
Ley, If I’m lazy or in a hurry, I twist my curls in several strands and air dry. If I have time I’ll dry them slowly with a round brush and a hair dryer. I’m currently trying out TIGI’s twist and curl balm.
Hi there,may I know where did u order that beautiful chanel bday cake from?
Farhan,
I got it at 1-caramel.
hi, may i know where u did ur hair? the curls are lovely. 🙂
ina,
My last perm was done at Jeric Salon at Bugis after recommendation from a friend.
Thanx for the info! 🙂
Hi renzze, thanks for e info;)
hey renzze. i searched for the plaid jumper dress but can’t find it. does that means it’s not available anymore?
girl, The plaid jumper dress is already sold out on ClubCouture. But they always come up with new designs so keep a look out!
hi, may i know how much is ur hermes garden party tote? Thanks
shan shan, I’m gonna give you the approximate price of the garden tote in Singapore cause I bought mine in Paris and a couple of years ago already and Hermes prices are always rising! The size I carry is the medium size and canvas onces are about 2.5K now while full leather ones are 3.5K
Hi Karen! Nice meeting you today. You have an awesome blog going, do keep it up! Cheers!
eunice, it was nice chatting with you too! I just had time to check out your store and you are fantastic with your hands! Those handmade goodies are gorgeous!
How do u find driving in sg? I personally fine it very stressful. I salute u know the routes so well to good eating places like joo chiat and geylang. I get stressed up when it comes to parrallel parking at busy roads.
Pinky, Singapore is quite a small island so it’s easier to remember the routes… besides when it comes to driving, practice makes perfect. I don’t really get too stressed driving in Singapore though I do find that after driving in Singapore I don’t have an issue driving elsewhere. Maybe cause space is abundant and pace of life is slower in some overseas locations that make it more enjoyable to drive.
nice to see the post of a picture with u. nice to know u!!!
my post is here, i also post a picture of us in group too.
http://ginevi.wordpress.com/
gin, it’s always nice to meet a reader! I’ve taken a look at your post too!
Wow, thanks for the kind comments! 😀 Let me know if you fancy any of the items 😉 Loving your CD heels!
eunice, sure thing! Thanks 🙂
I’ve been following your blog for quite some times and this is the first time I decided to comment sth – because of your CD heels! Good buy and smart to no wait for your Paris trip hehe… Keep up the good work 😉
MichelleYourReader, Thanks for reading and validating my impulse purchase! LOL… but it’s been so easy to match this pair that it’s currently my favorite go-to heel.
Is it painful wearing it? It’s very high – at least 4 inches? I’m also a high-heels addict.
MichelleYourReader, the best part of the shoe for me is that it doesn’t hurt at all! I guess the front part is also elevated so it makes the heels less steep and thus more comfortable. Still I won’t recommend wearing this heel to drive!
hey.. where’d u get your perm done 🙂
Melissa, the last perm I did was at jeric salon bugis
Hi Renzze..can I know where’s the smelly tofu store at in joo chiat??thanks!
ivy, it’s near the “Everything with Fries” store which is at 458 Joo Chiat Road. I can’t remember the address of the taiwanese shop itself but there’s a huge smelly toufu sign outside.
hi, where are the shoes on ur 13 april post from? they don’t look locally bought, a wild guess, korea maybe? in any event, they are so cute! are they comfy as well? 🙂
elle, they were bought during my taiwan trip… it’s quite comfy and really cheap too!
karen..yea..i went to eat over the weekends..hahaha..stuff-ed..really love the boba nai cha..thanks babe!
Ivy,
I haven’t been back there in awhile. Maybe I should go try the bubble milk tea there!
for floral tube dress, where u got ur shoes from?
thanks
shoes,
It’s from Taiwan but a long time back already.
Chi Chi Tunnels! What WERE you thinking :PPP
Kanos,
Hahaha….I really sux at typing on the iphone while walking. You can’t imagine the ridiculous typos I’ve made… this one is actually not too bad since most pple could still figure out what I was referring to.
Hi Pretty, the dress you wore for yr colleague’s wedding dinner is pretty. R u selling? 🙂
Classy, I tend to put on sale only the more casual buys on my blog cause my cocktail or work dresses usually ranges above $200 to $800 and it wouldn’t be wise to invest so much without being able to try it on.
visiting 😀
xiaofu, 🙂
iPhone! 😛 I must say I’m a BB convert pushmail is pretty amazing. Can’t keep up with all those apps anyway!
Kanos, I’m hold both a BB and iphone actually. I prefer the BB and definitely type much better on the go with the keypad so I use if for work while the iphone is for leisure and surfing the net.
babe..do try the ayam penyet in lucky plaza..its not bad..=) try the gado gado too..
Ivy,
I’ll try to give them both a go soon!
Cos you’re a gal and carry a handbag. If I do that I have to carry a manbag LOL
Kanos,
LOL… a manbag is pretty in these days!
Hi there, the dresses that you wore to the Nike launch and your waxing appointment at Strip were lovely…just wondered if you could share where you got them from, or if you have plans to sell those pieces? Have a lovely weekend!
Astrid, no plans of letting them go. The dress I wore at the Nike fashion launch is from bonitochico and the one I wore to Strip is from Shopbop.
Hi, I like the white jacket u wore for ur trip to London. May I know where u got it from?
Charmaine, I bought that jacket in Korea.
Hey!! Love the dress you wear in the purse heaven post. Can I know where did u get it from? 🙂
xinz,
that dress is from bonitochico.
Hi! would like to ask about the “Cutti salon” at XMD, where you and your sister went. Any idea how much do they charge for a perm?
Thanks in advance
Carolien, Gosh! I don’t remember how much it is anymore but it’s definitely not more expensive then most salons in Singapore. It depends on how long your hair is as well.
okie!sure thanks for your reply! 🙂
Hey found another JP restaurant gem the other day. Nogawa @ concorde hotel – go for the set lunches!
Kanos, lol… thanks for your recommendation. I’ll have to space out all the different new places I want to try!
hi renzze, may i know where you got the dress you wore on the day to ministry of wax? it’s pretty 🙂
Chyanne, I got it from shopbop.
would like to ask again, is the cutti hair salon near starbucks or 711 along hanzhong st?
Caroline,
It’s on the 2nd level on the same street as rainbow hotel and somewhere opposite Etude House on Hanzhong St.
ok!thanks for your help! found it on the map! 🙂
Hi Karen, love your nude trench coat in London, where did you get it from ??
keira,
It’s actually more dusty pink in real life. I bought it some time ago in Seoul.
Thanks for your reply. It look really pretty and i love the unique cut! Blend very well with the English background too 🙂
Keira, thanks:)
hi! Oh the pictures on the last post look similar to the ones you took in UK last Nov 🙂 but like your flats very much! 🙂
JJ,
Good memory 🙂 I never got round to posting all my various trips and I’m still trying to catch up. It’s already Spring and I’m still blogging about winter trips!
So where did you stay in London? Gloucester? I missed London….:)
Min, Yes I stayed at Gloucester. Pounds are so low now! It’s definitely worth another visit soon!
which tour did you go on? i ate the exact same thing at the exact same inn. must be the same tour operator 🙂
jing, I took a greyline bus. I think quite a few tour/bus operators use this inn though cause it’s one of the more quaint ones in the Salisbury area.
Hi Renzze, may i know wat brand of camera u used for ur london trip? The photos are very nice.
Charmaine, All my cameras are canon.
How did you manage to pack so many boots and outerwear for your trip? I always have problem packing.
Jocelynl, actually it’s not a lot of outer wear for 2-3 weeks. I rewore the coats all the time!
trip to uk free n easy ?
uk, yes…. F & E
Hi Karen, Have u been to Kaoshiung during your recent trip? Do u think it is worth to make a trip there from taipei?
wendii, I didn’t go Kaoshiung during my last trip. The weather wasn’t good there and some parts of Taiwan was flooded so I only went to Taipei and Hualian.
hi karen did u check in your umbrella or u hand carried it on board? My umbrella was confiscated at the airport!
evey, I hand carried my umbrella on the trip to London but checked it in for the journey back cause I had more stuff to hand carry. How long was you umbrella. I believe that there is a limitation on the length.
Hey Ashley, I’ll be heading to Bali in 1 week+ time… Any recommendations (food, spa, clubs, must-visit places?) =P
Fries, lol… there are so many!!! You’ll probably get more info from my Bali write-ups! When will you be there?
Hi Karen!! So you have lots of crystal collection at home? I’m one that loves crystal too! 🙂 I find that we had some in common that we like. Baking and dessert are of the other one too! oh and yes, I’m a libra gal same as u!!!!
Did i mention, your Blog is interesting and i have enjoy reading it!!! Keep it up ya!!!!
Crystal, Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy reading renzze.com 🙂
Hi Renzze,
Been reading your blog for quite a while. Were you at Universal Studios last Saturday? I think I saw you at the Shrek 4D Show 🙂
Hi Arissa,
Yes I was at Universal!!! Should have said hi 🙂 Did you see me before or after I got totally drenched.. hehe
Hi Karen, may I know where is the photo shoot location that you took the black ClubCouture tank top?
Elin, It is actually at a random roadside stop at Changi.
Love reading ur blog, very interesting 🙂
understand you a dog lover. able to help make a small donation?
http://www.animalloversleague.com/
they are in debts and facing eviciton 🙁
samantha,
Yes I have heard of their situation earlier from another friend and my family have contributed a little. Hopefully they’ll find a way out.
Hey gal, nice purple bag! I love it. Where did you get it?
MichelleYourReader, it’s from Hermes.
Wow, is that a birkin 25?
Deborah, yup 🙂
OMG! is that a birkin? Wow! nice color! 🙂
modish, thanks. It’s my new love.
OMG!! Is that a Birkin?! Nice color!
wedding_issues, thank you!
Can I know where is the Nyonya food located? My mum likes it too…
Princessy, IVINS Nyonya Specialties – No. 4 Jalan Leban, Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 577548 Tel: 6451 4622. They are close on Thursdays.
I like Rive Gauche’s cakes. Creative and nice!
MichelleYourReader, I think Rive Gauche’s cakes are pretty good too.
when did u get the all white longchamp?
d, if you are referring to the LC I was carrying in “Darmi’s Birthday” post, it’s not white but rather the whole bag is a light dusty pink. I bought it in Paris very recently.
Congrats on your new purple love 🙂
Cheryl,
Thank You!
Hi! Can you share with me the reasons you chose Birkin 25? I’m now agonising over Birkin 25/30/35 or a 30 Lindy or or 32 Kelly? Arrrghhh… *a very confused gal* will appreciate your thoughts, pls. 🙂
Modish,
They all have their good and bad points and I know it’ll be a difficult choice. Mine was an anniversary gift so I didn’t have to go through that thought process.
Hi Renzze, can i know where do you bring your dogs to for their vets trip? jabs and all?
Kate, I usually take them to the animal clinic at 74 Namely Place or Mount Pleasant at East Coast Rd.
do you have any suggestion on a good outdoor photoshooting location in sg?
Ling,
Kelvin would be a fantastic person to get advise from as he’s a wonderful photographer. As mentioned by him, the location depends on what sort of photos and tone you are looking to set.
Ling – Just to chip in my thoughts on a good outdoor location shoot, it depends on what kind of photos you are looking for and the concept you have in mind. 🙂
Hi Karen! How are you feeling now? You must have taken less rest, that’s why you are having flu that need longer time to get recovered. Take sufficient sleep and drink plenty of water. Get some vit c to build up your immune system. Say like orange? Have orange only after you recover from flu, will be the best! Take care and God bless you! 🙂
hi Kelvin, is not a fashion/clothing shoot..
and don’t want it to be a crowded place during daytime
Karen – haha thanks for your extremely positive comments!
Ling – Its best to shoot from 7am – 10am at most as it gets too hot thereafter. Location wise, you must decide a theme first. You can shoot at reservoirs, parks, amongst lallangs, beaches, gardens or in built up areas like Chinatown, Little India etc. All depends on what you want.
Sheesh…my condolences…I’ll drop your hubby a message now.
Kelvin, Thanks on behalf of both of us.
My commiserations to you for yours and your hubby’s loss.
Kanos, thank you.
My deepest condolences to you and hubby. Pls take great care.
Cheryl,
Thank you.
Hi Renzze, I realise the jeans u wore are usually very flateering. May i know what cutting is that and where do you usually get your jeans? I’m actually as petite as you. 🙂
Moiz, I’m pretty much a Levis jeans girl.
by the time u finish cooking, starve already !
sdd, these dishes doesn’t take as long as you might imagine. lol
sorry about ur hubby’s grandma..
kelvin- isnt this so inspirational http://www.jatecson.com/blog/2009/08/31/ask-and-you-shall-receive/
Ling, nice pics.
Ling – those are great photos! 🙂 if you’re looking for something like that, there’s a place in Punggol with a lot of lallangs to get that effect.
Renzze – Hope all is well.
I would have called for mac delivery instead. Lol
Pinky, that’s what I usually do! But it was one of those days that I was just sick of eating outside food.
Heh I am literally the first reply to this incredible article!?
hi renzze! May i know wat camera you are using? Buying one for my sis birthday but donno wat brand is gd.. Thanks!
annie,
I’m very much a fan of canon cameras. For compact cameras, I’m currently using the Canon S90.
Hey Karen, how are you? I must agree with you Ivins still has the best peranakan cuisine. Do try the Dulukala restaurant on level 4 of Beauty World, pretty good too! xx
eun,
I’ll remember to give it a try when I’m the area next time 🙂
Hi Karen, are you better? Recovered fully? Take great care ok 🙂
Cheryl,
Thanks for asking. I’ve already recovered fully 🙂 I’m glad to be well again!
Hi Renzze. Where did you get your luggage (the one you brought for your KL trip) from?
Its Beautiful!! How much did it cost you? Thanks in advance!
melodyy,
I’m assuming you are referring to the pink and white one I took for my Penang trip and not the mickey mouse one I brought for my last KL trip. I bought that in Japan near Ueno for about SGD300+
hi, what’s the software you use to highlight colour only for the iphone but surrounding area black n white? its so nice!
sannnz,
I used adobe photoshop.
Hey..wintersports where? 😉
Kanos,
Swiss Alps 🙂
The green fruit is custard apple is i am not wrong. ANd the purple flower gave out very nice blue colour when its being soaked in water. Used to make nonya kuek.
Bubblygal,
The first fruit is custard apple but I still can’t figure out what fruit it is I’m holding in the picture. The round one with thick skin.
Waaahaa! Zermatt? St. Moritz? Am trying to get to Aspen / Beaver Creek or Tremblant late this year
Kanos,
Lol… not exactly the season for ski-ing now though there are one or 2 hard core ones. I’ll love to go back during ski season if I have the time.
hi gal wat camera u took ur pics? quite nice… =)
emi, I’ve got a canon S90 and a canon 500D
hi renzze, what job are you in?? looks interesting…
elaine, I’m simply put… in the research line.
Hey someone just told me Tahoe is open for skiing on 4th of July! Its not really the season though…!
Kanos,
Really? I might be planning to go snowy mountains for skiing in August if the weather is good and time permits.
Yeah trying to plan a year end ski trip too – was mulling over Tremblant and Montreal but its terribly difficult to get to
Kanos,
But you’re the adventurous sort! It’ll be a great trip along the way too!
Darmi look like my sister babysitter from like 15 years ago and has the same name too. How long she has been with your family?
ferr,
Darmi has been in the family for way longer then that so it’s probably not possible that she was your sister’s babysitter. 🙂
hey renzze, how many days of leave do you have? you seem to travel so much!
ttl,
I work on a project basis and when I’m in the midst of a project I can easily work more than 14hours a day and have no off days or weekends so when one project is done I’d easily collected quite a number of off days. Besides I travel for work at times too.
Karen, Honeymoon desserts is available at Vivo City, Level 1 near to Awfully Chocolates.
jocelyn,
Thanks for letting me know!!! Now I know where I can find desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth in Singapore.
Hi, can recommend some good hotels for hongkong. Thanks
Charmaine,
You can refer to https://www.renzze.com/index.php/category/travels/hong-kong-travels/
That’s an interesting cake! Where did you get it from?
Kris,
I got it from a cake shop in hougang. If you click comments on the post you can see the addy and tel I left for another reader.
Seafood allergy? Am in XTD land now. Gonna go for the world expo over the weekend – you don’t happen to be around here again are you? 😉
Kanos,
Yes… it’s an unfortunate thing to have allergies. I’m not in SH but world expo sounds fun! Enjoy!
Hi Karen, nice mini love clips on your Christmas post. May I know where to get them? thanks!
Wendii,
The clips were bought in Bangkok from B2B at Central Mall but Goose at Siam Discovery also sold the clips.
Those sushi don’t look fresh to me…
World expo is fun but be prepared to queue and walk till you break your legs unless you have a VIP pass!
Kanos, sounds like a theme park!!! Yup the sushi isn’t great which was what I was lamenting about. I think my photos made them even nicer then they were in real life.
hihi, blogwalking… 😛
Xiaofu,
🙂
Hi Karen, I remember asking you about your cam. You are using a Canon 500D right? May I know what lens are you using, cos your pics are very nice & rich in color, especially those taken in Orchard Rd at nite 🙂
Serene,
Yes I’m using the Canon 500D and the Canon S90. Canon cameras, especially the ones with the newer systems tend to always produce rather rich colors. The night photos at Orchard Rd were taken with the Canon 500D using the basic kit lens.
When do I claim my Gobi dessert from you!!! 😛
Kanos,
Gobi desserts disappears really quick once it reaches my hands! You have a better chance of getting them at Central Mall 🙂
hi, for the post on taiwan. as i’ll be going there, would like to know where did you get the macarons that you featured in your blog? thanks!
Su,
I got it at a candy store in Ximending. It’s opposite the watson store and sells lots of cute candies and chocs. There are 2 watsons stores in the XMD area… the one I’m referring to is the smaller one.
Hi Karen, can I ask where are the places to shop in S. Korea? Thanks!
Sarah,
Places to check out would be Myeong-dong,Dongdaemun Market and if you are looking from brand names, you can head over to Apgujeong.
hi, where did u get the blue comfy dress for supper? thanks!
jo,
I got it from BBK.
Hi Renzze, luv the recent collages with the jagged edges. Which software are u using? ^.^
Kyra,
Those were done with photoscape.
thought just saw you at ehub with hubby maybe?
Hi Karen,i love your perm hair.I’m still contemplating whether shld perm before my AD.
Felicia,
Thanks. Actually, a lot of my photos on my blog are not so current and my perm has seriously died down already! I’m waiting for my next trip to Japan so I can go perm it again! I think you should keep your hair long for your AD but don’t perm or rebond till after so that your MUA can work her magic on you! She can give you a change of styles with straight hair or curled hair with tongs.
Karen! You look so pretty in that dress! 🙂
xiaoxin, thanks! I think you looked really good in that dress too! Am so looking forward to your new offerings!
hi renzza, any B&B and shopping centers in London that u would recommend? Thanks
gigi,
I don’t stay at B & B in London so I can’t help you out there but for shopping you can go Oxford St, Bond St, Covent Gardens, Knightsbridge and Portobello Market. Of course Harrods is probably as iconic a shopping center as you would get in London:)
Hi just want to ask how much is one Longchamp Le Pliage Medium Long handle bag in HKIA? Duty Free, thanks! 🙂
YNAJ, I think it’s best you call Longchamp to ask. I don’t know prices of their individual pieces in different countries.
Thank you renzze for your reply & advice.I also think of perming my hair in japan during my honeymoon trip.:)Any recommendation salon?Maybe after u done wif yr new perm can share with me the info.
Felicia,
Currently my hair is already rather straight. But I’ll be posting up my Japan pictures from my trip earlier this year so you can see my perm then. The addy is
Hair Space & Beauty Excel Colorist
Shibuya 109
2-29-1 Dongenzaka Shibuya-ku
TEL: 03-0477-5004
omg! isnt that the “bone” collection for last season in your twitpic…i’ve been lemming for it 🙁
Barley,
Yup that’s the bone bag from Longchamp. I’ve had it for a year already I think.
Thank u so much!Stay pretty!
Felicia,
🙂
i m keen in trying out the bb cream too.i ve oily and medium skin tone.what type should i use?
alyssa,
You can try the hot pink version!
hi, may i know wat software are u using for ur universal pictures & the photo of u is so well taken. Wat camera is that?
charm,
It was taken with a canon 500.
just wanted to ask what bag are u carrying in your okasa pictures? am looking for a big roomy tote like that… thanks!
Kaykay,
I was carrying the Louis Vuitton Monogram Scuba MM from the 2009 cruise collection. It comes in fushia and orange but it’s no longer available in the stores. You can see a better picture of the bag here http://www.savvymode.com/2009/01/louis-vuitton-scuba-tote.html
your pictures are so pretty babe!
xiaoxin,
Thank you!
Love your outfit in the bullet train post. So cool!
MichelleYourReader,
Thank you 🙂
The LV Scuba MM tote is such a good investment. Roomy and adjustable. And waterproof for unpredictable rain. The Fuschia adds a dash of colour to the wintery season. Great choice. I am loving it but guess I am too late. Will wait for other releases of the same nature.
Ivy,
There’ll always be new collections every year!
Hihi, where did u stay in kyoto? Do u have any good ryokan to recommend?
Ching,
Hyatt Regency Kyoto is near Kyoto station but it’s not a ryokan. I’ve not stayed at a ryokan in Kyoto before but I had intended to try out Hiiragiya Ryokan which is 15mins away from Kyoto JR Station. Unfortunately, they were full during the period I was in Kyoto. This is their address
Nakahakusancho, Fuyacho Anekoji-agaru, Nakagyo-ku,
Kyoto 604-8094, Japan
Phone:(075)221-1136 Fax:(075)221-1139
E-MAIL:info@hiiragiya.co.jp
Thanks Karen! Japan looks great! I can’t wait for my trip coming year end!!!
Ching,
Wooo! Lucky you!
Hi, may I know what camera are you using?
Esther,
I’m using a Canon 500D and a Canon S90.
Hi,is it possible to get around in tokyo & kyoto without knowing any japanese?
Ling,
Yes it’s possible but you need to do your research well.
Hi, i have been following your posts for quite a few months. I got to know your website through Nyukie. I like your dress style.
Bluemoosesgm,
Hi! Nice to see you here 🙂
Hi Karen, came across your blog while researching for Tokyo trip! Ur post on Inyashi No Sato Nenba, i saw a familiar face, is the lady beside you a guide in Japan, Shelly?
Janet,
What a small world. Shelly is a free lance guide and translator. You know her?
I saw you posted in August. Are you at Mt Fuji in August? It looks cold.
Starz,
I wasn’t there in August. My trip photos are usually backdated because I travel so much it’s hard to find time to blog and post photos. I was there in Spring actually 🙂
Renze, wat program did u use to crop ur pics??
Joelle,
For cropping pictures I usually use picasa
Hi renze, the latest japan u hv.. did u consolidate them using picasa as well? I cant find the raw frames using picasa though..
Joelle,
I use picasa to crop then photoshop to collage it. Previously I have used several scrapbooking programs that could do the same thing but I lost them when I reformatted my comp so now I just use photoshop.
Met Shelly when i was in Japan last year. She was my guide then. What a tiny world. Looking at your photos, spurred me to go to Japan again.
Janet, yes… Japan is a gorgeous country with great culture. I have been tempted to go every year!
Hi Renzze,when will be the best time to visit japan & hokkaido?? Winter or spring season?? All these pics makes me really tempted to visit Japan nw!:)
Felicia,
I think April is generally a good time to visit Japan when all the cherry blossoms are in bloom! In Hokkaido they bloom much much later though.
Hi, I chanced upon your blog and I love your travel photos and dresses! What do you work as that allows you to travel at leisure so extensively?
Janet,
I’m in the research line and happened to be in a unique position where I can work on the go during some periods of my project cycle.
Hey long time no talk! Errr…I think you meant “…when the flames fizzled and not “sizzled”!!! lol…
Hi Kanos! How have you been? I will definitely give Ryokan Motonago a try the next time round. Do they need extensive pre booking?
Just came back from Kyoto couple of weeks back and gonna post some pics! We stayed at the Ryokan Motonago in Gion which was amazing! Give it a try…its apparently “Michelin starred” but affordable and surprisingly felt very cosy…and not commercial at all!
I might have asked you this before (so forgive me!) – did you do the July / Aug trek up Fuji-san to catch the sunrise at the summit? Its a must do – at least once!
Kanos,
No I never did the trek despite my many visits to Fuji-san. It seems I tend to miss the July/Aug window every year!
Hi, I was trying to find if you ever posted any trip to South Korea (Jeju island and Soeul)? Would like to see what is recommend to do there as I would like to visit Korea in the next holiday. 🙂
xinz,
I’ve yet to do any of my Korea trips on my blog as they have always been for work or with people that are a little to shy to share their photos on my blog. Korea is great for sightseeing and shopping and it’ll be nice to go in autumn to Jeju island.
I love Japanese Breakfast too! What a nice way to start a day indeed =)
Tracy,
I haven’t woken up to Japanese breakfast in awhile. Oh how these pictures remind me!
U r one lucky gal! Travelling & eating are shiok! Love ya blog….
Laura,
I’m glad you enjoy reading. My life is not made up entirely of travelling and eating though I do enjoy doing so very much. But there just isn’t enough time to blog about everything so I’ve chosen to share my travel experiences so that it can benefit others who have the intentions to travel the the same places too.
hi KA, just out of curiousity as i always see you posting on Fb, are you a traveller and writer? mind telling me more about yourself? if not never mind. take care!!
Robin Chng, I’m a travel junkie and I do like to read and write but it’s mainly passion. I do hold a full time job that gives me the flexibility of working partly on the go.
Hi renzze, I will be going to Japan come Oct. Could you let me know where is body focus located in tokyo? Thanks!
Jamie,
There are many branches in most places. But in Tokyo I normally go to the one at Harajuku. It’s on one of the left side shops at the end of the shopping street assuming you head straight in from Harajuku JR station.
Hi Renzze, been following ur blog for quite some times and know that u have been travel to Bali for several times, can you advice me on nice hotels/foods/activities to be done for first timer travelling there? I will be going there for 5 days 4 nights. tia! 🙂
vivin,
There are many great accommodations in Bali so it all boils down to your budget. As for activities, I think the must do for first timers is to visit Tanah Lot and Uluwatu temple and try out the white water rafting. But Bali has so much more to offer so just browse through my bali posts to see what else you can do. You can see all of them if you click Indonesia under my categories found on my sidebar. 🙂
Hi Renzze, have been reading your blog.
I am travelling to France, Switzerland in Dec. Just wondering where u got your beautiful trenchcoats and boots? Are there any places I can get nice affordable boots, coats in SGP?
Girl_S,
I tend to buy my coats and boots when I’m overseas as they have a wider selection. Locally, you can try Zara or MNG when it’s the fall or winter collection.
Hi renzze, can you let me know where you bought your clothes in korea. Thanks!!!
Flying Fish, I usually shop in the boutiques around Myeong Dong or at Dongdaemun.
i am going to tokyo next week – is it very cold over there right now?
diva,
My photos are not so current. Tokyo weather now should be perfect! Not too warm and not to cold… I suspect it should be air-con room temperature of 25C. Do bring a jacket for the winds though.
I went Tokyo around this timing before, it was very hot, even when I wore just a spaghetti-strap top. Definitely not like air-con temp.
Wendy,
You’re probably right! Thanks for your input.
the clubcouture dress is really very very nice!!
xiaoxin,
Thanks babe!
Remembered you diy and straightened your hair once. May I ask which straightener did you buy? Thanks!
Pinky,
I used a panasonic flat iron.
Ryokan Motonago is rather small – so best to book about a month in advance – they speak good english there so language isn’t a barrier. Its not the kind of place to be boisterous but to take in the serene surroundings. Do give it a try and let me know how it goes!
Kanos,
I will let you know after I give Ryokan Montonago a try though I don’t think it’ll be anytime soon since my schedule is currently overflowing! My Kobe beef was about the same cost. Do let me know where I can go for yours. And the banana jello thing is nice! Too bad it’s supposed to be an energy jelly so I can’t take too much of it if I’m not exercising!
Hey how much did that Kobe beef cost? Hit me up for a good Kobe beef recommendation in Kyoto – costs $47 per head for lunch which is damn. worth. it.
OOh I like that banana jello thing too!
Kobe beef place is called Mikaku. And if you stay in Motonago give the kaiseki meal a try – its worth it. Hehe I eat that jello thing while traipsing the streets of Japan so its considered exercise! Where to next?
Kanos, Thanks for the wealth of info! I’m supposed to be in London but I have to stick around to sort out some work and personal matters so I too am not too sure when I’ll leave next.
Hi there i like your curls alot. is that a perm curl or u r using a thong curler ?
Lynn,
The photos that you see in my Japan, Shanghai posts are all permed and blowdry. But my current hair is no longer as nicely curled as in the photos and I’m looking forward to my next perm at the salon!
hi renzee, will you be organizing sales for your stuff soon? how i missed it!
btw, you have any idea how i can purchase your longchamp (the flowery one)?
honey575,
Sorry to disappoint but I won’t be selling my stuff this time round… have been giving it away to close friends and family. My Longchamp is also not for sale.
Is ear muffs effective in keeping the ears from cold? How about winds? Is it troublesome to wear one?
Pinky,
Ear muffs have been pretty useful to me. So are woolen caps! I don’t really find it troublesome to keep them on even when there are winds if the size is right.
where did you permed your hair at?thank you:)
jo,
I’ve permed my hair at quite a few places. The last one I tried was at Jeric Salon but the perm didn’t last though.
Should look forward to your next sale.
I mean where I can purchase your longchamp, I’d search e whole of sg…
Honey575,
I haven’t had the time to do sales so I don’t think there will be one anytime soon. I won’t be letting go of my longchamps as I keep them as a collection.
hey renzze love ur curls!!! make me want to curl mine too.. but seems like i have to grow my hair really long in order to achieve yr kind of hair style? Is it very hard to maintain it? and how much did it cost for the perm? Thanks!! 🙂
mel,
Thanks. Usually, the longer the hair the nicer the curls seem to come out. The curls aren’t hard to maintain but long hair is harder to maintain as the ends tend to become dry easily. I can’t remember how much my perm cost but it was less than $200 for cut, perm and blow dry due to some promotion.
Hi Renzze, may i know when did u went to China… izit last Nov… wat is the temperature when u were there?
Thanks
Shan Shan,
I was there in spring early this year. Can’t remember the exact temperature but it was really cold!
where do you buy wnter clothes?
Lai,
I don’t have one specific place where I buy my winter clothings. Most of them were bought and accumulated as I travel from country to country. But I do have to say that Korea and japan have very pretty and warm winter wear.
Hi renzze
i’m going to shanghai next mth Nov 25 – 30 .. can share with me , what is MUST bring , MUST eat , MUST buy ? I like boots , where did u bought it from ?
Iryn,
I’m not too sure about Shanghai’s temperature in November but I will expect it to be about 17c which is still pretty good weather. Boots, jeans, jackets and scarfs are always great for the fall season.
hi babe i love yr curls do u tong yr hair everyday?
Jenny,
I don’t have the patience nor the time to tong my hair everyday so it’s usually permed. But my hair has lost it’s bounce recently so I’m looking to go perm it again once I have a day to spare.
Hey! Where’s next on the travel list? 😉
Kanos,
Well, I injured my toe recently so no far trips for me this month… Probably just head to a nearby SEA country. But I would be starting to post up my Paris photos by the end of this month.
where do you usually shop for clothes in singapore?
Claire,
To be honest I don’t shop all that much in Singapore… I tend to shop whenever I chance on something so I don’t have a regular place. I do get clothing online from clubcouture, shopbop, f21 and Asos so you could give them a look see.
Hi renzze , may I know where did you buy ur dress u wore on sushi ultrascan? Thank You 🙂
stella,
I got the dress from http://bellerin.livejournal.com and you can see more about the dress here. https://www.renzze.com/index.php/2010/07/15/flowery-blue/
Congrats on getting your birkins!! Lady luck is really shining brightly! Can you please share your experience in hunting the birkins? need to play games with the sales exec? TIA! 🙂
modish,
Thanks! I wouldn’t say I’m experienced in hunting down birkins. I usually check in the stores every day when I’m in Paris. I’ll let the SA know what colors I’m looking for and how long I’ll be in town so they could give me a ring if they happen to spot the few colors I shortlisted for them during my stay. Black birkins are usually easier to get.
Hey, its only the toe! 😛 SEA country eh? I’m trying to see if I can head to one of those SEA countries next month for a lantern festival!
Kanos,
Haha… I know! But end year means there will always a lot of work, a lot of weddings and a lot of parties to attend back in Singapore so it’ll just be short trips for me till maybe early next year!
Hi Renzze, may i know where did u bought the brooch with the black feather n bird. Thanks.
Eve,
I got that in Korea.
they have so much variety compare to S’pore mac here! How i wish they have more choices! The ice-cream look yummy
MissyQiqi,
Haven’t heard from you in awhile! How are you? Their Mac has been specially catered to the more food conscience French palate. I guess Singapore do have our local specials from time to time as well… such as the beef prosperity burger they churn out during CNY!
hi renzze,
i will be gg tokyo next week, may i know where did u get your hair permed at? Roughly how much do they charge for colouring of hair and also perming? Thanks a lot
Charmaine,
I don’t remember how much it costs anymore but you can go to the salon at the top floor of Shibuya 109.
Karen, I would like to ask which hotel you stayed in Hualien. Did you engage a guide/ cab driver to tour in Hualien? Any contacts? Thanks!
Pinky,
You can try Ocean Hotel in Hualien. And for the driver, Mr Lu. His no is +886-09-2856-9081
Hi Karen,
u went to hualien area during dec? What is the temperature like? and what kind of clothing to pack? Thks
Maggie mee,
I wasn’t there during December but in October/November period. It was cool and not too cold yet but it was rather wet and rainy on some days. I don’t remember the exact temperature already.
Your France photos look so good! and you look so happy!
Thanks Jo!!! I was really having a ball of a time there!
What is the temp in Paris? How do you layer your clothes?
Starz,
What’s the temperature in Paris now? About 6C or so but should be getting colder. I wear a lot of wool and cashmere and a really warm trench coat.
what video editing software you use for the LG video entry you did?
Jayvier,
I’m using Sony Vegas.
Hi Karen, may I know what software you using for those video that you post on your blog? And also, where did you get the turquoise chong sum from? thanks 🙂
Elin,
I’m using Sony Vegas. My chongsum was custom made in Shanghai.
hi babe, how much to lolita charge for their eyelash extension?
Jessie,
It depends on how many lashes you do. I think the 40 lashes for dolly look is $109.
ger.. do u hv any itinery for paris that you can share?
joelle,
I’m sorry but I don’t really travel on an itinerary because I visit Paris every once in awhile so I don’t always need to see the same places and would go wherever I felt like going on that day. Hopefully my insights to the different locations can help you decide what you would be interested in visiting when you are there.
Hey!. I like reading your posts. May I know where did you get the white coat with gold buttons you wore to Japan Disneyland?
Samantha,
Thanks! I got it from Liz Liza in Japan.
I love all your photos, there are all so well taken. May I know what cameras do you use? I believe many have asked you the same question, but I would really appreciate it for you to get back to me.
Thks & Rdgs
Vivian
Vivian,
I’m using 3 cameras for the photos on my blog. For DSLR, I’m using Canon 500D. For compact, I’m using the Canon S90 (now they have the S95) and for underwater pictures I’m using Panasonic DMC-FT2.
Hi Renzze, may i know where u get your black boots
? they are v nice.
Hi, I love your blog and I realised that you are very well traveled. I was wondering if you know how much a Chanel 2.55 (Double C logo) costs in France? I am looking at the Jumbo or Medium size.
Lulu,
Thanks. I’m not too sure what the current prices are and whether you are asking for lambskin or caviar prices. But the last time I bought, lambskin med is E$1930 and Jumbo E$2200. This is before VAT.
Hi Renzze, may I know if you coloured ur hair first den permed it or vice versace? Did u colour ur hair at the Shibuya salon as well ie did colouring & perming in one setting?
Ching,
You should perm first before coloring. If you do it the other way round, you might lose the original color that you intended. I didn’t do my coloring and perming in one sitting. Can’t stand the length of time but I’m sure they would be able to accommodate such requests.
I love the white top ur fren is wearing.. any idea where isit from?
Joelle,
She bought it on her HK trip a few months back.
Must you talk about your friends so lovingly when according to so many reliable sources from so a handful of people, they are actually not very nice people? Just in case you’re wondering, these people were not jealous or bitching about them. They are credible people. Maybe friendship is really blind and you love your friends for who they are, great flaws and all. That’s the beauty of friendship.
Trudy,
Friendship is about loving and accepting the person for who they are, flaws and all. There are always 2 sides to a coin for humans are not one dimensional. I’m against the concept of elitist. I believe every person has a good side and a not so nice one… including you. Friendship is not blind, you go into it with your eyes open and you still love your friends for who they are. With great anonymity comes no accountability so “credible” your people are really stands for nothing in this instance.
And just a thought, do you go round acknowleging all your friends’ babies as godchildren? How about having your own? Are you family-commitment phobe or you prefer jetsetting around the world in luxury items instead of planning a family? I happen to sit nearby in a cafe when you were with your friends. You do not talk with substance and your voice was really loud and filling the whole place. Really, what class and oh-so-nice on your blog, quite unlike what I witness. email is a sham. You can reply in defence here instead.
Trudy,
I don’t know what you have been reading (or why you are even reading) but I have only stated one of my friend’s kid, Little Andre as my godson. I think it’ s a privilege to have your friends requesting you as a godparent to guide their child and not something to be shunned from. As for my own little nest, I do wonder if being a mother of 3 or none at all would make a difference to helping you sleep better at night. (And in case you are interested in my private lives, my whole family do sleep really soundly.) Anyhow, must one be dictated by others or society pressures on when they should have kids? Wouldn’t being able to raise your children to be respectful of others and to mind their own business be more critical then the age of which to have them. I’m not even 30 yet, does not having kids now make me commitment- phobic? As you said, your email is a sham, stop hiding behind the skirt of a floating IP address to give yourself courage to be meddling in strangers private affairs. Oh, my blog actually auto categories fake emails as spam but I manually approved your comments so you could have a chance to say something in this newly bred generation of cowards.
hi, where did you get the dress (black and white on top part with pink/red/orange at the bottom) which you wore to your belated birthday party?
sparkles,
It’s from moschino cheap and chic.
Hi Trudy,
Finally, a voice of reason!!! What we’ve both witnessed is just an empty receptacle, making hellalota noise!!!!!
Trudy, I thank you on Karen’s behalf for such constructive criticism. You must care for us a great deal to be able to post such wonderfully detailed pieces of comments as well as create a multitude of scam email addresses just to make your thoughts heard. We heard you alright. I’m not going to go into details and do the cliched thing of trying to defend our acts and curse back at you. Karen shared this with me, as she seldom gets flamers like you spamming her space, we talk about you in jest, of course with me bitching and gossiping about you no less (you and your credible sources did mention we are a bunch of bad, bad people didn’t you? no need to go there again do we?) I can only imagine that you understand your own friends through other ‘credible’ sources rather than actually getting to know them. Do take care of your mental health, it must be horrid to find out how disappointing the world is. I suggest , maybe you’d want to take some time away from your PC creating aliases to flame her blog, eavesdropping on other people’s conversations in public and actually try to make real, flesh blood and bone friends to bitch with? I recommend Starbucks, it’s a great place to meet people. You don’t have to direct your subsequent bitching at Karen, she will not retaliate because she is too nice a person. I’m the bitch who likes to speak up for our friends, whether they are crappy people or not. You can direct them to me at Clarahnails@gmail.com or Clarahnails.com, maybe create a few more accounts to spam my site! I shudder, and clasp my hands in delight to receive your comments and criticisms!
Omg! I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding Trudy! You actually have a friend!!! Oh how could I have made such a grievous mistake. Oh forgive me will you? Again, forgive Karen and gang for being empty receptacles making a lot of noise in public, I’m not sure if I was there that day but i admit i am too, capable of laughing/braying like a donkey in public. Sorry for offending you in that respect, unfortunately when normal, healthy, well-functioning girls get excited at the latest luxury shoe, bag launches, or hot gossip, or imagining what we’d do/say to people like you, we get a tad bit excited and tend to raise voices a little. Sort of like, akin to when you get excited about bad girls like us, have trouble expressing, and you spew your verbal vomit all over this site. 😀 Feels good to open up doesn’t it? So don’t hesitate to open up more, i know how stifling our society is, and many girls out there like to keep to themselves, hence forming many mental problems. Karen is a very good clinical psychologist/researcher. Talk to our team. We can help you. 😀

Hi karen, may i know where is the restaurant you have your brunch with together with little arielle? tks.
elin,
It’s a Australian restaurant called Graze at Rochester Park.
Clara you have misunderstood me. I do not refer to you about her friends and I have not created a multitude of emails to let my voice be heard. If Karen can see my email add, she would know what it is. I’m saying dat email is a sham as I typed something in the email box just to let my comment true. Other than this, I have only posted here with 1 email add. So now it seems there are more people thinking like me and you assume it’s all from me? You have unknowingly revealed that there are more people thinking the same way as me. You can think that it’s all the same person me. But me being me, I know I didn’t leave any more comments other than this.
You have unknowingly revealed that there are more people thinking the same way as me. You can think that it’s all the same person me. But me being me, I know I didn’t leave any more comments other than this. My conscience is definitely clear on this point.
Yes Trudy, we all know that your email is a sham and whatever you say here has to believed because you are not hiding anything. I haven’t had a flamer on my blog in a few years and 3 mins before my blog recorded your comment. I had a concern email telling me that I need open my eyes and that my friends aren’t good for me. That email also stated that the address is a sham and cannot be replied to. Coincidence? Maybe… but either way, a generation of cowards have blossomed. No wonder Singapore is the 2nd highest in the world for cyber bullying. My blog is a venue for my thots. Don’t like it, don’t read it. Unhappy? Vent on your own blog. No need to get my friends riled up.
Karen I really really do not want to embarrass anyone by starting to give names. You may say I’m no better than anonymous or passer-by but at least I gave a name you can relate to and pardon me if I sound rude. I was really shocked by the way you talk in public: loud voice filling the whole cafe and the shallow content of your dialogue. I never quite expect anyone so petite and demure on her blog to be like that. I have to say I don’t have anything against you when reading your blog but after telling some people what I saw with my own eyes about you and your friends, I begin to hear more stuff about you ladies. I agree with you about friendship as I’ve already said previously. I do accept my friends for who they are, good or bad. But I do not lie about things that are not.

I thought I read before you visited your godson or godaughter quite some time back. May be I read wrongly. You are right, it’s none of my business whether you want a brood or you prefer your bags, clothes and shoes over raising a kid. It won’t matter to me so I won’t ask about it anymore. Nevertheless, I’m sure you know why I raised this point.
Trudy,
All comments come into my emails and most of them are auto-spammed especially emails that are fakes. I manually override approval of your comments so as to give you a voice. But I do hope that you do get your facts before judging people you don’t really know personally and imposing your opinion on them. Of course if you are willing to come out of safe hiding to let us know who you are, we’ll respect your opinions a lot more. Most people write blogs for various reasons, for friends, for passion, to share their ideas. Most blogs are not diaries so to judge a person for a blog is like reading a magazine and believing everything it says. Same goes for hearsay, I’m sure we all know that there’s no way to truly judge someone unless you know them. As for kids, I hope you don’t go around to other people blogs asking those same questions. A friend of mine who also travels a lot and writes a blog has problems having kids. Such insensitive questions without personally knowing the person or even truly having any sort of goodwill or intentions for asking can be very hurtful. If you don’t mind I would like all these to stop here and now.

Just to be fair, I will only post with this email add. All other email adds are not by me. It’s up to you to believe. Anyway, I see no other similar comment accept Full Vessell here so I really do not know what you mean by a multitude of emails.

There are 3 camps when it comes to ‘exposing’ your private life online. The first, fans. I don’t think i need to elaborate on those who are genuine followers with a genuine liking for the blog. The second, the neutral, those who read, might have thoughts but don’t really give a damn. Just read and move on with life. And then there is the third camp, which you and some others belong in. You read, you dislike, and you comment, which I don’t blame. There are blogs I read too and look at them with pure disgust. But I don’t see a need to launch personal attacks on a girl who is sharing her life with people who appreciate and like to know. It’s informative, she helps however she can to whomever asks her questions because she’s well travelled, well educated and well read. You launch attacks on her and her friends based on your camp of friends who happen to bump into her catching her at a time where she’s gotten excited over something bimbotic, and discussing their shallow understanding of her friends, comparing that to an impression you’ve formed out of taking her image you built in your mind, taken things a little out of context? Haven’t you had that moment too? I think most girls have. Sorry to digress, I’m not sure what your intention is, telling her for her own good (but concealing who the people are for fear of embarrassing them) or? Who are you trying to protect? I’m confused at your contradiction. Or are you just saying it for the sake of magnifying gossip you’ve heard? I know Karen personally and I take offense to what you’ve said. What’s wrong with talking about friends lovingly? Do you have intimacy issues? What’s wrong with jet setting round the world buying things you can afford to buy? Don’t you have personal self-indulgences? The only reason why Karen’s blog interests many is because she’s chosen a lifestyle out of the ordinary, she’s worked hard to do so and she’s sharing with people who want to look at the world through her eyes.
Hi,
Love the recap on LG’s entries post, esp the one with Louis and ur frens!^^
Anyhoo, re the recent blog flamming incident, ur life is urs and no one esle. Live it the way u want to and no one shld judge.
Ally,
Thanks! I really had fun with the videos!
Although i don’t know Karen personally, she’s really helpful whenever I ask her for some help. Having babies are sometimes not in the control of the couple and I think this is a very personal issue that even parents try not to question. When a group of friends get together its just normal that we will make noise and we don’t always talk about politics or stuff with substance. We just want to relax and have fun. chill~ a blog is full of words and photos which may give mis-conception of a person but I think you shouldn’t judge someone outright with what’s on his/her blog that you THINK might be the way this really is in real life.
Ivy,
Thanks for you comment 🙂
but I think you should not judge a person outright with what you BELIEVE/THINK that person is from what you see/read..
Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody loves you. Stand strong Renzze! I love reading your blog and I’ve seen you around siglap area before. Absolutely sweet and gorgeous!
Bets,
I appreciate your input 🙂
where is moschino cheap and chic? how much is the dress?
The dress I wore was bought in Hong Kong several seasons back. You can check the local moschino boutique at Paragon for their newest selections. They usually have very youthful and fun pieces!
Thx Renzze! Btw I think u’re handling the whole unpleasant situation very well. I think that in itself speaks for your character.
Ching,
Thank you.
Hi Renzze, i really like your curls. is there any styling gel you used to keep it bouncy and curly( like the pic in Clara’s birthday party 2010) is there any special technique you used compared to the rest of the day? Thanks much for your time for reading. 🙂
Trish,
In the earlier photos, my hair was actually longer as I’ve had it cut significantly shorter recently. My hair is permed and how bouncy and defined my curls are depends a lot on blowdrying. The drier the hair, the more define the curls are. But if I choose to air dry or only partially blow dry before heading out, my curls will be weighed down and be less curled. I’m currently impressed with L’oreals Play Ball Curl Candy Defining Gel Cream as it works really well defining and maintaining my curls.
thanks renzze..
You and your gfs look really sun-worthy in Phuket! Must have been fun!
Bets, it was really fun!
Is the sea canoes dangerous or difficult to handle?
Bets, the sea canoes are actually really stable and if you are afraid to handle it, you can always leave it to the experts who would be more than willing to row you around.
Hi Renzze, may I know what program you used to make the photo collage? I love the edges of the phots. looks classy!
Su, I use a prg call photo scape.
Hi renzze, can I know where do you buy your black boots? They look chic and nice on you.
Melody, I’m not sure which black boots you are referring to. But if its’ my rainboots, its from Japan.
Hi Renzze, may I know where to find the music for those Paris videos you put up. Thanks.
Rebekah,
I actually listen to quite a lot of world music so my music inspirations usually come from whatever I’m currently listening to on my ipod. You can dl them on itunes or find them in compilations at my usual music store ” That CD shop”.
Karen, remember the trial bottle of powder for shampoo? It can be added to your pet’s wash too.
Jo,
Really? I’ve added the whole trial bottle to my huge shampoo already! Been meaning to find time to drop by Lolita NY but haven’t had the time this festive season.
Yea seriously they should mind their own biz and not be so auntie.
sassygirl,
🙂
Hi karen, can you rbr approx how much does the hair cut at Cutti in Taipei, Ximending cost? I am planning to go there and want to get a haircut as well. =)
lucbabe,
I don’t really remember how much it was anymore but it should be around the same of slightly cheaper as cutting your hair in Singapore.
Karen, it’s actually very kind for pets fur. A pet spa gets their supply (non mint version) for their client as protein treatment. Enjoy your holiday.
Jo,
Thanks! I’ll be sure to try it next time!
Jo,
I’ll arrange to come down Lolita New York after CNY!
hi..nowadays u dont sell yr clothes etc? i like reading yr blog but entry is too short haha..hv a nice 2011…
shermaine,
I find it too much of a hassle to sell my clothes nowadays because of my busy schedule. So I usually give them to my close friends/family and donate the rest to charity instead. I have much less time to blog in 2011 but I will try my best to keep the blog going. Hope you have a nice 2011 too!
hey karen, where did u stay in paris? thanks 🙂
lynn,
It depends on which trip as I’ve been Paris several times. Here are the 3 hotels I’ve stayed in – Le Méridien Etoile, Le Claridge Champs-Elysees Fraser Suites Apartments and L’Empire Paris Hotel.
hi Renzze, where did u buy the bikini from the james bond island? the red polka dot one. its nice
riley,

Hi Renzze, are the tiles of your floor glossy homogeneous tiles or matt homogeneous tiles?
Sheryl,
They are glossy.
Hi Renezz, nice dress you wore to the dinner with the gals at Dempsey Dome. Where did you get the dress from? =)

Is your sis called Amanda? She works at Polyclinic?
Hi,
Nope, my sis is not called Amanda. Think you might have recognized the wrong girl!
Hi Karen, may I know what camera/video camera did you use to film the Super Hero video?What software did you use to compose your videos?
hellos karen, i just visited your blog and i kinda like ur cheesecake, mind sharing with me where did ya purchased it? thankyou karen
Queenie,
Actually, as stated in the post, I didn’t buy the cheesecake but it was brought over as a gift by my friend Bernice. I’m not too sure if I remember it correctly but I think the packaging is from Rive Gauche.
Hi Karen, you mentioned that you donate your clothes to charities.. May I know which charity organisation accepts clothes? I have a couple of clothes to donate as well. Thanks!
Pinky,
The Salvation Army has collection booths for you to leave your clothes and from Sept to Nov, the YMCA accepts clothes for their annual market. If you have children’s clothes or toys, you can also donate to Pertapis Children’s Home. Around my estate, the maids sometimes collect pre-loved clothes to select from and send back to their families.
Thank You For This Post, was added to my bookmarks.
That dress for cousin sydney’s wedding is lovely! Where did u get it? Been following ur blog for a while, like to become a friend if u dun mind

Hi renzze, your hair always look so nice! May I know where did you do the perm? Is it your regular?
Jennifer,
I did my last 2 perms at Jeric Salon at Bugis. You can look for Michelle who is my regular stylist.
Hi Renzze, may I know where you got the Black Tank dress from? Tks!

Hi, would like to ask about ordering from adelarose. How long does the shipping takes and is the material of the clothes good? Thanks. 🙂
C,
The shipping is really fast and I usually get it the next day. The material of the clothes are definitely of very high quality, comparable to those found in boutiques and superior to most online store quality.

Hi Renzze, what photo software do you use to collate your pictures? Thanks in advance!

renzze. your rss isnt quite working. it no longer loads full posts on the reader.
j, thanks for notifying. I’ve rectified it.
hi where did u but the ombre dress u wore to your cousin sydney from? How much is it? Thanks!
Irene,
It’s bought in Australia. I can’t recall how much exactly but it is definitely less than A$200.
Hi, do you hv any idea where i can get the nike spring/summer collection items that you posted in your blog?
Samantha,
You can try the Nike store in Wisma!
hi, in your post on ren ri where you wore the rainbow colourful dress, where did you get that from? it’s lovely!
sparkles,
It’s from Elizabeth and James.
Hi babe, do you have any idea, if we buy branded bags in Paris and we travel down to Rome, are we still able to claim the tax refund from Rome? thks!
Chris,
I’m not sure actually as I haven’t done that before. If both Paris and Rome uses Global Blue as their VAT refund agent then it should be possible.
hi, in your ren ri post, where did u get that rainbow colour stripe dress?thanks!
Hi, I love your curls and am coveting them 🙂 Do you think a perm can look good with naturally black hair, or does it only look good with dyed hair?
Amy,
I’ve had my curls with both dyed as well as black hair and they looked okay either way.
Your shoes in “last post about CNY 2011” are pretty! May I know where you get them from? Thanks!
Ning,
I bought them in Hong Kong.
Hi karen, may I know where did you bought ur white cardigan from in your vietnam post? Thanks
Mary,
It’s from Dotti, an Austrialian brand.
hi! which hotel did you stay in vietnam?
breakfast on a rooftop looks great!
thx 🙂
whitelilies,
To be honest, I can’t recall the hotel name as it wasn’t booked by me! I wished I had remembered to take a photo of the hotel’s lobby!
hi, may I know what is the cheapest way to travel from paris to london?
Ashley,
Take the train!
hi Renze, which branded bag would you recommend to buy in Paris.. well besides LV ! haha
Jess,
Chanel, Hermes, Longchamp, Givenchy, Chole, Dior, Lanvin and YSL are all great brands to buy in Paris. And if you want designer shoes in Paris you can try Louboutin.
Hi Karen.. Greeting from Canada. I just accidentally found your lovely blog today. I seriously love your style of fashion 🙂
Evelyn,
Thank you!
YSL makeup also cheaper in paris? 1 more qn, do you know if I travel to Paris but flying back frm Amsterdam, can i still get VAT rebate at AMS airport?
thanks!
Jess,
I believe that YSL makeup is cheaper in Paris. I’ve usually made Paris my last stop in my Europe travels so that I don’t have to lug my purchases around my travels so I don’t know if you can get your VAT at AMS. However, you can always validate your VAT at CDG when you take your flight from Paris to AMS.
Hi, no offenses. I believe you have received tones of people asking you the same question. But I am really keen to know, what do you work as? Are you a flight attendant?
Ms Curious,
I’m not a flight attendant. I’m a researcher.
What do you do as a researcher?
Jenny,
I’m in developmental psychology but I like to keep my work out of my blog. 🙂
Hello Karen.. May I know where did you purchase your black knee high boot (Shopping in Paris entry)? Or would you like to recommend me where to buy the decent yet affordable boots? Thank you in advance 🙂
Michelle Zheng,
I bought those rain boots in Japan. If you are looking to buy boots in Singapore, you can actually try out chain store brands like MNG, Topshop or Zara during the right seasons as their prices are pretty decent for the quality of boots.
hi renzze, where did you learn how to bake? from taking classes or experimenting?
sunflower,
I have done both classes as well as experimenting with recipes from family or fine tuning recipes I find in baking books.
hi renzze, have you traveled to central europe before? what are the bag brands in germany that are worth buying? thank you!
sunflower,
Yes I’ve traveled to parts of central Europe before. Most of the brands like miu miu, prada, etc are cheaper in germany then in singapore even though they aren’t german brands.
hello karen! i stayed at the same hotel as you did in vietnam, and had restaurant at the same restaurant too. 🙂
rachel,
Hi 5^!
dropping by to say I MISS YOU
Melva,
Missing you too! Will see you very soon!
where to tarbao la zi ji,thanks?
Jenny,
My friend got hers at Lor 13 Geylang at Shanghai Song Ji Restaurant.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
Hi Sleivoy,
Thanks. I created the blog from scratch and prefer to keep the layout simple as my blog is photo intensive.
Good day! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same topics? Thanks for your time!
