Our flight was on 28 June 2018 (Thursday), 10.25 pm (Scoot Airline).

   
The lady that we liaised with her through email was there too. She recognize my friend who was going with me.

We show her our passport and she issued us the Gold Coast Marathon Luggage Tag.



Was pretty excited for this trip as this is my first time to Australia (ang mo country, Singlish translate).
Reach Gold Coast about *** and our tour guide waited for everyone at the Gold Coast Arrival Hall.

The tour guide told us to see our luggage tag that she issued to us at the Singapore Airport.
Yellow colour is Watermark Hotel. Blue colour is other hotel which I couldn't remember which one. 

The first stop they alight us is Pacific Fair for breakfast and shopping (own expenses) for 1 or 2 hour plus.

Breakfast at Soul Origin, Pacific Fair


Pacific Fair Outdoor


Pacific Fair Indoor
 

WHERE TO BUY SIM CARD?

Bought Sim Card at OPTUS (the shop name) for Aud$10. 

Next stop is Gold Coast Convention to collect out Race Bib. 

HOW DO WE COLLECT OUR RACE PACK?

So basically they drop us at the convention and gave us like 1-2 hr free time to explore inside.
But before we head inside, there is a small counter outside the convention for us to collect our race bib.
They already collected for us.They will just distribute to us. 

My Bib!


After collected the BIB and Drawstring bag, we head in to the convention.

I bought a tank top. (You can try the clothes there). 

Took outside the convention. Pretty isn't it.


Scenic Travel Group Photos. Spot us!









So after convention, they alight us at our Hotel, Watermark. 

When we went in the hotel, there is white board in the main lobby that wrote the itinerary. (like what time is the breakfast and what time is the race start etc)

There will be a seafood dinner buffet at 7.00 pm. 

The tour guide pass us our hotel cards and we headed to our hotel room. Totally love our room as our window view is directly facing Sky Observation. The G-link is directly outside our hotel (Surfer Paradise) which I feel it quite convenient.

It cheaper but I think got T&C. Buy the tickets at Klook better.




Went to the beach and damnnnn it was so beautiful! Omg for a moment I feel like staying at Gold Coast permanently. HAHA.

Hi guys. 

Just a random post. Recently (on 13 July 2018) I bought some cosmetic products from Laneige.

Yes! Bought Layering Cover Cushion & Concealing Base (Base no 31 Brown) which the staff recommended me the colour for my skin tone at Plaza Singapura.

She also recommended me Light Fit Pact (Pressed Powder - Base No 23 Sand). Use after the Cushion. It soft and matte finish which I personally like it too. 
For Light Fit Pac, long lasting it really depend on what product you use for the base.

*For your infor, I'm not an expert. I'm just saying based on my experience.*

 Like example, I apply Innisfree Daily Care Line No Sebum (UV Protection), then follow by Layering Cover Cushion and lastly I apply Light Fit Pact.
  To my surprise, it does last almost half of my day without applying the second time. I'm not sure whether is it because I stay in the office for most of the time but I'm really amazed about it.

And If I apply just the cushion and light fit pact, It doesn't really last quite long but I still like it.
I totally love the texture and I love how the colour matched my skin tone. Omgggg

To become the member, you've to spend $100 for lifetime but the point will be expire for one year If I'm not wrong.

I only need to top up for $9 to become a member so why not? HAHA! So the staff recommended me Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil (50ml) and I got some Free Gift. So total I spent exactly $100.

Prices:

Layering Cushion & Concealing Base - SGD$43
Light Fit Pact - SGD$48
Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil 50ml - SGD$9
Water Bank Hydro Essence 30ml - Free (usual price SGD$26)
BB Cushion Whitening (No 23 Sand) - Free
Silk Intense Lipstick (Get the red) - Free










This are the three items I bought.










Will I still buy the products in future?
Yes of course! Oh ya the cushion smell okay for me although I still prefer the Faceshop Coca Cola Cushion smell.

Okay thanks for reading this boring post.  HAHA!

I'm flying off to Gold Coast for my race this coming Thursday. Omg I'm so excited!

Booked this trip since last year. 

So I'm gonna share with you guys how much does it roughly cost.


It was during last year December and we (me and my running kaki) ask for the quotation for Gold Coast Run 21km but end up we change to 10km.

So total is roughly SGD$1,518 includes:-
(Need to pay a non-refundable deposit of SGD$500 first and then when the date is near around mid May they will ask you to pay the remaining money)

- Return airfare on Scoot (Inclusive of taxes and fees, 20kg checked baggage & 7kg hand carry luggage)
- 5 nights stay at Watermark Hotel and Spa or similar
- Daily Breakfast
- Arrival and departure airport transfers
- Race Entry
- Welcome seafood buffet dinner
- Visa


For the activities book through Scenic Travel :-

1) Tandem Skydive - SGD$390 not inlcuding photo and video
2) Skypoint Day Climb - SGD$80- SGD$40 = SGD$40
3) Movieworld - SGD$100 with return transfer
4) Half Day World Heritage Tour, Natural Bridge Springbrook (SGD$98 per person but the 2nd person got 50% off) - SGD$73.50


For the activity book through Klook :-

1) Dreamworld Entry Ticket + Koala Photo - SGD$55.07 (after credit discount)


So total I had spend before heading there is SGD$658.57 + SGD$1,518 = SGD$2,176.57

It was definitely my tough time saving those money.  And I know I won't really have the chance to go back again.  Hahaha!

Haha gosh. Finally got chickenpox. I post it here just to make sure to rmb it.

Actually I was not feeling too well on last Saturday night or Sunday morning and I felt that there were something inside my throat. (I thought it was ulcer at first).

I think around Sunday night, my stomach and body start aching and I thought must be the effect of playing Luge for 3 times with my friend.

Back home on Sunday around 1pm plus, did housework, went to bath and sleep. Woke up around 3pm plus but I didn't really sleep quite well and I don't feel like walking around. My mum put some oil on my stomach and she said my body abit hot. So I ate medicine and it felt better.

Next day, went to bath at night and was shock to see blister start coming out. I was so freak out and worried it might be Chickenpox as I got run (Sundown 2018, 10k)  this coming Saturday with two of my friends. And one of my friend bib is with me.

So went to see Doctor the next morning, she was quite friendly and she used to be a runner.
And yes it is Chickenpox (I half happy and sad). Happy is.. it came before my gold coast run which is on end of June and I can stay home for two week. Sad is.. sorry to pangseh two of my friends.

So today I guess it consider the 3rd day (after 12am). I really want to thank my mum for taking care of me even though you're still working. (Although she still worried that if I take so many days of mc will my boss scold. Seriously hahaha!)

Doctor gave me "Acyclovir* 800mg. 5 times a day and other medicines.

So far other than fever and slightly pain, overall is bearable except bathing.

Omg. My mum keep telling me (in a serious tone) not to wash my hair. I did listen to her for one day. But just now I couldn't take it and tell her I want to wash my hair just for today. Then she agree (in a not really good tone).

Food so far is okay for me. I can survive because I'm not really a choosy person when it come to food although my taste bud is kinda strong HAHA!


So.. I will see how it goes for the next few days.

(Watching NCT Life Season 7 cure my boredness. TAEYONG! HAHA)

Hi guy, it's been awhile. Okay time to update my blog.

Anyway I will be blogging my Taiwan Trip Oct 2017 soon. Hopefully I won't be lazy.
I've already done my VLOG. You can check it out the videos in my youtube channel here.


Last Saturday (21 April 2018), I decided to walk around in Mount Faber since it's near my house and I want to take photo at the Forest Walk.

So I start from opp Shelton Collage (Google map), there a stair heading to Mount Faber Park. (about 5 mins walk)

It's abit scary to walk from there. There's another alternative way to go. You can go behind Mount Faber Safra. But because I want to go to the cable car and take some footage so I took that route which is nearer to the cable car.

Didn't took much of the photos. Hahaha! Okay after passing by Cable Car, I headed to the Henderson waves. Been there quite a few times.

After at the end of the Henderson Waves, I continue to explore some places which I nv been or forgotten. I follow the sign headed to "The Forest Walk'.







Okay I stay there for about maybe 20 minute. I walk back home.

I think I will find one day to walk the Route from Mount Faber to Kent Ridge Park. It about 10 km walk (3-5hr).

Thanks for reading.

(Umm. maybe no one is reading but it okay HAHA)
