LUMINESCE™ cellular rejuvenation serum

Scarring is always one of my major issue when I look into the mirror. Even though I may received positive comments about my looks (don't laugh!), I still feel insecure as my skin looks dull and ugly with the facial 'potholes'. Hence when I come upon this product, I decided to give it a try.

Dr. Nathan Newman is the innovator of Stem Cell Lift™ - cutting edge cosmetic surgery, without cutting. This stem cell technology allows the cells to rejuvenate and recover, naturally. If I am to explain, it may take hours and I may missed out many points too. Hence, I will recommend you google about the technology and products by yourself. Trust no one (especially salesman) but the scientific information. haha! I will go read up myself too!

For now, I started to use this product (since last night) and hopefully, I can be more hardworking in documenting the progress through my blog and so I can see the difference and share with those who are curious and wanted to see progress of a user, more than those 'Before-And-After ones.

Lies & Betrayal

After watching "青春如期" on Youtube.com, I realised that I can totally feel for Xiao Hua's (小华). I am someone who values friendship a lot and the more I trusted someone, the more I am unable to accept lies and betrayal. I am sure everyone been through this, felt being betrayed by someone or simple keep hearing lies from someone.

Hence I know it take a lot of courage and determination to forgive and forget, and get back to your friends. Not the best directing skills or producing, the actors did a commendable job and the plot is interesting though predictable. It gets me thinking about how I should deal with things in that situation. It happened before, it will happen again. This is also what make me grown and no longer put my 100% trust on these people. They may just take you for granted, easily.

Article: When you are not at home

In the modern world today,  we often take people around us for granted. The closer they are to us, the more easily being taken for granted. When I came upon this illustration, it kind of hit home with the message within them. I am not sure if you feel the way I do.

I always look highly to and love my parents very much but I don't say it out. Probably because we are guys, we are not as expressive in this term. Hence, when I see the illustrations, I can imagine my parents doing that too. They do. T.T

I translated the bottom two in English while you may take a look at the rest in Chinese. [Click Here]

*When You Are Not At Home*
Daddy: "Dear, no meat ah?"
Mummy: "Kept all for our daughter.
Aiya, It's healthier to eat more veg!

*When you are at home*

You:"Mum! Enough dishes, faster join us!"

Mum: "Left 1 more. You guys start first!"

Dad: *Drunk*

Checklist: Checked

8th day of 2014

I made sure I did what I plan to and what I wanted to. This is to prevent myself from creating more backlog. I may not complete all I wanted. At least, I completed most.

Checklist:

- Present (Kre-Os) for my friend - Done

- Tune my Ukelele - Done

- Read Manual of Equipment (Work) - Incomplete

- Have a gym session - Done

I bought transformer Kre-Os to give my friend (from a group of us). I have always been a rather last minute person for present. Hence, a new year, a new self. I try to settle it earlier and so I have more time to prepare other stuff. Now left a display box and, maybe, wrapping. =)

Returning home late doesn't suit well for me to practise my Uke. You don't expect me to create 'noise' in the middle of the night, don't you? Hence, at the very least, I tune my Uke to season it as advised by my friend/teacher. 

I am supposed to have a gym session with my trainer, but unfortunately, he was down with food poisoning. But nevertheless, I went for BodyPump class instead. Don't want to give myself more excuse for skipping gym, especially since I am freer in January. Good job! Keep it up!

As I always mention, I wasn't doing that well at work. Today, I seems to have antagonise my friend. I have no idea why I could not get the USB Serial working for my MacBook Air. It is not as if I didn't try, but it just did not work. Guess I have to continue to try tomorrow. I understand the necessity of getting it working, so I am not running away. As for the manual, it is the new equipments that we are going to use. I should do some reading. But guess it is a little too late now to read, so shall leave it till later 'today' (Its almost 1am!).

Keep it up, Jarron! =)

A new year, A new blog

Finally, my blog has seen some 'light'. I mean I finally revamped my blog page to a brighter one. Ditching the dark colours (like finally!), I went for white and brighter colours for the page! Hope your eyes will feel much better! =D

The Unspoken Voice (2004 - 2014)

Guess my blogging style will continues what I did in 2012. Slowly evolving over the years, I think it is not hard to observe the difference if one had read my blog for years. So I shall not elaborate on the changes! haha! Might change the title of the blog when I think of one (soon).

Recently, I have been focusing more on my food blog, Critic's Critic, as compared to this blog. A food blog is something I wanted to do in 2011! Hence, I am glad that it has been running for a year. Not like the usual professional, full-time bloggers, I am more like someone who have an alternative views to offer to the places people went. I love desserts & coffee especially! So, it is not surprising that I covers more cafes than restaurants... I also try to make my own when I am free!

Anyway, the travel blog is ongoing too. But I am not someone who can do a good job in multitasking, I engaged a friend to help me too and she is more active in blogging there than me! The blog name is not confirmed yet, but the tentative address is this... Since we are not ready to show the blog to the world, we are keeping it under wrap. As for photography, I created a Facebook page to share my photos to more people. But as my laptop is down for a long time, I am not that active there too. =D

I was shock to see that I am into blogging for more than 10 years, evolving from ranting to a more objective oriented blog. I hope that I can keep this going, even though I do not have any followers! haha. The Unspoken Voice has been around for more than 9 years! It is time for some good changes... =)

Frozen : Review

Synopsis


In “Frozen,” Anna (voice of Kristen Bell), a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven in an epic journey, encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn in a race to find Anna’s sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), the Snow Queen, and save their kingdom from eternal winter.

From the studio behind 2010’s “Tangled” and this year’s “Wreck-It Ralph,” Walt Disney Animation Studios presents “Frozen,” the coolest comedy-adventure ever to hit the big screen. When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.

The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”). Featuring music from Tony®-winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit”), “Frozen” journeys into theaters November 27, 2013, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

What I Think

If you think that the Snow Queen is the main character of the show, I would think that her sister Elsa steal most of the limelight. The story unfold with romance-seeking Elsa finding her true love among the two main male characters, while finding her sister and saving their Kingdom.

Frozen's main characters

Anna, the Snow Queen, on the other hand appears more often when she was a kid. The animation was made so beautiful that I couldn't let my eyes off the screen. The flakes, the snow, the ice castle... amazing. The music of the show is also amazing. Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) and Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) had great voices and immediately nailed the songs in the mind of the audiences.

 "Let It Go" is one of my favourite and  "First Time in Forever" is another amazing one. Disney didn't disappoint with their fairytales revolving queens and princesses before, and they definitely didn't disappoint now either. If you have not catch the movie just yet, go catch it before the movie ends.

Till then, enjoy the music "Let It Go" from the movie...

Critic's Critics

I must say that I am not a hardworking food bloggers. I have many backlog (drafts) in my blog and not yet publish. It doesn't help when my laptop is down and I am trying to find ways to get and organise my photos for the blog (Critic's Critics). But I still have something to offer - an alternative view.

There are many foodies out there full-time or even did a great extend to research, talk to the owners, chef and understand their background. Some paid, some not (yet). I am aiming to produce a most objective or independent view on the food I had, be it hawker food or snacks, and not get sway by temptation. Like means like, dislike means dislike. There is no point of hiding it.

Service and ambience is just as important as the food. Of course, the food need to be of a certain standard to keep customer from coming, but do you know that the service and ambience are now very important in the modern world? Who will want to have something good and get served rudely? I won't!

Anyway, I finally uploaded some photos and completed the following reviews. Do check them out! =)

1. Just Want Coffee (Everton Park)
2. Hummerstons (Robertson Quay)
3. Mr Bean (One North)
4. Grub Singapore (Bishan Park)
5. Pho Street (Jurong East)

Reviews underway: D'Good cafe, Lady M, Spathe Public Bath, Ootaya and RakuZen.

Article: 20 Singaporean Slangs

Even though I always try to perfect my pronunciation of my Chinese language and improving my English, never will I detest our proud Singaporean-style English, Singlish. I definitely feel more at ease when I hear people speaking them (but not shouting them!). Born, breed, grow locally, I definitely am a Singaporean, despite being mistaken many times by strangers over the years.

Reading the article (below) definitely put a smile on me, and I must thank some friend who introduce #13 to me via some meme app (or something like that) haha!

Forget about resolution

It is quite interesting to see which of my photos are the more popular ones.

Saw an article recently on doing away resolution. I actually kind of agree with it. It also mention about a To-Do List instead.

Instead of doing a yearly To-Do list, maybe I should do a monthly one too.

January will be my exercise month, planning to reduce my meet-up and focus more on exercising...

January:
- Lose 5kg before Lunar New Year.
- Run at least 3 times a week
- Visit gym at least twice a week
- Complete the Photo editing for Nat & Ber
- Complete my 7 owls for my Photonics friend
- Complete the sewing gift I still owe XY
- Complete 2 chapters of "Networking: A Beginner Guide" book
- Write a To-Do List for February =)

2o14:
- To complete my Ukelele class (end in Mar 1) and able to play it smoothly!
- To start my Ukelele level 2 class.
- To weigh 67kg by the end if the year.
- To pen lyrics to one melody (even if the lyrics sucks!)
- To start planning on my cafe (a little vague, I know!)

Ahh... can't think much for 2o14. That's all for now... ciaoz~!
