Britain's Got Talent

Britain's Got Talent is a UK singing competition, some sort like American Idol which provides platform for those gifted people to show their talent. Paul Potts, in his late 30s and works as a mobile phone salesman, amazed all the audience and judges with his talent in singing opera.

Before that he was teased by others that he won't got any chance to sing with his ordinary and gloomy look. However his love in singing gave him the motivation to learn opera. Even though he faced a string of health and financial problems before, he never gave up his dream. He spent eight years to prepare himself for the five-minute performance on the stage and he won the championship and applause from all the people. At the moment, he is having his concert series in the Europe and US.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Dogs and Cats

Since I told my niece about the "dogs & cats exhibition" last week, she kept remind me about the event everyday. So finally the day came...this morning we went to Delta Mall to see her "long-awaited" cats and dogs. Wow...there were so many people...we had to squeeze through the crowd to get a better view of the dogs and cat. Here were some photos that I took:

Nice? Simply gorgeous!

Hype of BB cream

Recently I came across a skincare cum cosmetic product called BB cream from newspaper. It was described as an “excellent” product. So good?? Out of curiosity, I googled about this item and found that it is really popular in Korea. Not only in Korea, but it is also a hot topic in the forums over HK, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.

Briefly intro this product -- B.B Cream (stands for Blemish Balm) is originally used on patients who underwent laser skin treatment. Its mild solution helps to protect and regenerate delicate skin. It becomes popular after the Korea actresses use it and promote it due to its superb result.

Since then, beauty brands in Korea have developed BB cream and made it more suitable for Asian skin. It claims to be 4-in-1: moisturizer + concealer + sunscreen + base. Among the most popular one are BRTC, Hanskin, Skin79 and Dr Jart. Other brands include The Skinfood, The Face Shop, Missha, Etude, Dodo Club etc.

I read through quite a number of articles and forums related to BB cream. Most of the users(>70%) gave good comments about this product – whitening, improve skin texture, look natural etc. However, there were a few users that gave negative comments about it – caused pimples, medium coverage, weak in oil control etc. It is recommended to clean the face properly (use make-up remover) because BB cream is not a skincare product, so must be cleansed before you sleep.

Tempted to try? Hmmm….so irresistible. There are so many brands for BB cream, which one suits you the most? Hard to say, whatever suit you might not suit me….the skin condition is different for everyone. Maybe read more to find out which one suits you the most before you buy.

More about BB cream (Mandarin)

Last but not least, BB cream gives you a natural look -- nude makeup like Korea actress and covers imperfection. However it is not a miracle cream, so don’t expect it to cover big pores and obvious pimple scars. Personally, I don’t like to apply too much skincare or cosmetic on the face, feel uneasy with it. I think it suits me, 4-in-1 – good for me….going to get one. :D

花之恋

蛮喜欢看连续剧。。。台湾，韩国，日本，中国，美国，香港的连续剧，我都喜欢。。。唯一不太喜欢的就是大马的，不好意思！刚看完两部港剧-“最美丽的第七天”和“古灵精探”。第一部讲的是两对恋人的爱情故事，一段是凄美感人，另一段是欢喜冤家。古灵精探则是讲一个通灵的警探如何推理，解决一宗宗的悬案。

最近，又泡上另一部戏--花之恋，中日的连续剧。一段让彼此都痛了三十年的回忆，再见面时，两鬓白发，感情依旧，眼里的永恒似乎让时间都停下来。。。好深情，也好无奈。无奈的人生除了叹息也只有遗憾。人家说艺术家大多数是性情中人，爱得深，有了深刻的感动才能创造出完美的艺术品。戏里的主人翁是琉璃艺术家--琉璃是一种有色彩的玻璃艺术品，很美。这部戏还在播映，不知道结局如何，希望有个美好的结局。。。不想有太多的遗憾，逝去的光阴不能重来，毕竟人生只有一回。

这部戏有些部分是在日本取景，景色怡人。三四月是樱花盛开的季节，整棵树开满粉红色的樱花，真美。

HE is pregnant

He looks like a man, sounds like a man, but he is not a 100% man...BECAUSE he is pregnant. Thomas Beatie claimed to be the first man that becomes pregnant and was interviewed during Oprah show. How could it be? *o*

Actually he is a transgender man (initially he was a woman, once the Miss Teen Hawaii USA finalist). Though he underwent surgery to switch genders, he kept his female reproductive organs. His wife Nancy is unable to conceive and that's the only reason he's going through with the pregnancy.
