Day One of designing my Calico Whale. What do you think? I find it incredibly meaningful to be designing a @ccfsingapore Calico Whale! #CCFHopeTrain

What are calico dolls used for? Calico dolls, also known as 'trauma dolls', are used by CCF to help transition children with cancer to hospital and medical procedures.

Besides using the dolls to role-play of some of the medical procedures which the children have to undergo, designing and playing with the dolls also gives CCF children a sense of control and empower them with freedom of expression.

Here are some ways you could show your support for our Hope Train Campaign: 1) make a donation to CCF and fuel our Hope Train via the link in my bio, 2) read up about the campaign to better understand what CCF does, so as a society we can better support children and families affected by cancer. Thank you in advance!

✅OVERALL RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: I like the brand PANDORA derived from the brand's positioning as an "affordable luxury brand". The original intention of this brand was to encourage girls to be themselves and show their true self in their own way. How interesting! The advantage of PANDORA is that you can buy it according to your own budget. Even if you only buy a necklace, you can wear it with a simple and elegant unique style. Another special feature of PANDORA is that each bracelet can be matched and interchanged with a variety of gold or silver charms. Everyone's collocation is unique. Speaking of my favorite, it is none other than the Pandora Moments Snake Chain Bracelet. The material is soft and fits the curvature of the wrist better. It is also one of the most classic styles in the brand. I especially like PANDORA charms. Each charm represents a memory and has a special meaning. And you can mix and match according to your own preferences. In my opinion, Pandora is a very story-telling brand, allowing consumers to wear a unique bracelet based on their imagination, and let the bracelet tell our own story. What an incredible thing this is.

📌Disclaimer: The above review is purely personal opinion. Not everyone likes what I like. Please note that what may work for me, may not work for anyone else. Results may vary from person to person, so please take this into consideration if you decide to try those products.

PRODUCTS REVIEW - HERBOLOGIA HOLISTIC COSMETICS

1. HERBOLOGIA LIQUID CRYSTAL NATURAL SUPER ANTI-AGING PREMIUM DAY CREAM 50ml

💡DETAILS: Herbologia Liquid Crystal Day Cream introduces a new standard in wrinkle treatments with maximum strength powerful peptides and moisture-holding actives for a complete daily care of aging skin. It increases collagens I, III, IV, VII, XVII, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and laminin 5, and diminishes skin roughness and the depth and number of wrinkles. This cream is light and hydrating thanks to Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane which attract and hold moisture on the surface of the skin. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 and Syn-TC are peptides with a holistic action on multiple dermal components that promote skin rejuvenation and restoration, improving skin tone and firmness, moisture, and reducing wrinkles. Liquid Crystal Day Cream uses new technology in natural cream making, using a new olive oil based emulsifier which creates a liquid crystal structure within the cream mimicking the way our skin barrier is organized. As a result, the Liquid Crystal cream is much lighter and more absorbent than regular creams, and it will not dissolve skin lipids but restore and nurture the delicate balance of epidermis. Additionally, this cream features ceraminde liposomes, cholesterol, and natural oils Chilean Hazelnut Oil, Marakuja Oil, and Pomegranate Oil, which build and nourish the lipid barrier with a superior moisturizing effect. Green Tea Extract is packed with antioxidants that help to fight free radicals that age the skin and reduce the harmful effects of sun radiation and pollution. Vitamin C in its stable form as glyceryl ascorbate works in conjunction with Green Tea for a much stronger antioxidant potency. Liquid Crystal Day Cream is free of toxic or bioaccumulating ingredients. It is most compatible with the skin barrier, and it will rejuvenate and hydrate your skin and make it appear more youthful and healthy.

✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: Have used so many brands and keep coming back to this one. The scent is light and the cream goes on very smooth. It moisturizes well, not too greasy on my skin as it absorbs well. It can give me a dewy look. Awesome for dry sensitive skin as well. Definitely would recommend.

2. HERBOLOGIA LIQUID CRYTAL NATURAL SUPER ANTI-AGING PREMIUM NIGHT CREAM 50ml

💡DETAILS: [Skin Types: All skin types] Liquid Crystal Natural Restructuring Night Cream for dehydrated skin is packed with restoring, rejuvenating, and hydrating actives for exceptional overnight therapy with a peptide complex, a higher squalane content, premium plant oils, herbal extracts, ceramides, and non-toxic plant based fragrance. The Night Cream features Syn®-Tacks, a combination of two peptides (Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyloyl Hydroxythreonine and Palmitoyl Dipeptide-6 Diaminohydroxybutyrate), at maximum concentration which benefit the skin in multiple ways: improve structural integrity; improve cellular communication; visibly tighten and lift saggy skin; reduce wrinkles; increase skin tone; nourish skin. Homeostatine is another anti-aging active. It is a complex of marine pentasaccharine and caesalpinia spinosa gum that creates a 3D hydrocolloidal matrix. Homeostatine reduces wrinkles by maintaining homeostasis in the skin, it reduces MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases or enzymes that break down proteins contributing to skin aging), and increases collagen, integrin and laminin V production. MCT oil, hyaluronic acid, squalane, ceramides, natural oils, and cholesterol supply all skin barrier lipids to restore, soothe, nourish, hydrate, and soften your skin to give it that needed overnight moisture. Olive Leaf Extract is one of the highest extracts in antioxidant content. Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are two very potent polyphenols that are known to improve skin texture and smoothness, and reduce wrinkles, sun damage, and irritation. Sea Buckthorn is a superfood from the Middle East that is rich in natural vitamins E, C, and A, minerals, and polyphenols that nourish and lighten the skin, soothing irritation and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: I’ve only been using this for a month and there was an almost immediate difference in my skin. I love their products so much. They have never let me down. It really helped plump my face making me look years younger. Will definitely recommend and would even suggest to also try their full range of products.

3. HERBOLOGIA INGENUE NATURAL SUPER ANTI-WRINKLE EXFOLIATING PREMIUM CREAM 50ml

💡DETAILS: Skin types: normal to oily, combination, and dry skin. Ingenue Natural Anti-Wrinkle cream contains the maximum concentration of Allantoin (2%), a natural acid found in most organisms. Allantoin has a host of benefits for the skin: sloughs off dead skin cells, renewing the epidermal layer and improving the look of skin; reduces fine lines and wrinkles; improves the color of the skin; has mild lightening & anti-hyperpigmentation action; moisturizes skin; soothes irritation; tightens and firms the skin, making it appear younger. They found that it works synergystically with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, one of the most potent anti-aging peptides which targets multiple skin components such as collagens I, III, IV, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and laminin 5. As a result of the combined action of Allantoin and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, the skin looks dramatically younger, reducing the skin age by up to 10 years! Ingenue Natural Anti-Wrinkle Cream also contains high-end plant oils such as Argan, Borage, Chilean Hazelnut, and Maracuja Oils. Their combination contains the most complete fatty acid profile needed for mature skin health. These oils are extremely nourishing and yet are not greasy! In addition, they added ceramide liposomes, cholesterol, hyaluronic acid, and squalane for superior skin barrier therapy and hydration.

✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: This product is awesome. Visible improvement in just a month. It really plumps up those tiny lines and makes my skin look brighter and healthier. To be honest, my skin looks better than it has looked in probably the last three years. Friends even notice the difference in my skin and asked what I was using. I’m incredibly impressed with this product and would recommend it to everyone. By the way, I have experienced no breakouts or redness.

4. HERBOLOGIA MYTHOS NATURAL SUPER ANTI-AGING EXPRESSION LINES SERUM 30ml

💡DETAILS: HERBOLOGIA MYTHOS EXPRESSION LINES SERUM is a luxurious hydrating serum with a comples of powerful peptides that target muscle contraction mechanism through multiple pathways. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 builds collagen and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Turmeric extract aids the anti-aging effect by increasing blood circulation and fighting free radicals. It gives the serum a slight tingling effect.

✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: I have been using it for nearly a month and am very pleased with the results so far. It has smoothed out my tiny lines and definitely firmed out my skin. It surely does what it says. I have researched a lot of serums and their ingredients. This one is absolutely one of the best. Overall, I find it keeps my aging face looking much less wrinkled than it was. Thank you so much for making these great products. Please don’t ever stop.

Post Comp Questions and Answers

1. How did you feel post comp felt?
i had the blues.. cause after the comp, my goal kinda ended. I was rather lost, cause the routine was broken. I felt goalless but that was important to let the body rest. I got enough rest physically i'd say, but mentally maybe not quite. Life continued, with work and everything else. Nature of my job, it's rather hard to take a break. But i'm making it work.

2.Did you manage to maintain your comp physique?
No. cause3 e everywhere fb er reed I ate food i usually avoided, so i bloated after 3 days.. My weight on comp day was 53kg but i'm currently at about 57.7kg, which I don't really mind. i was only suppose to cheat for one whoolllle day right after comp. But to the dismay of my coach to about 3 days. Then I tried to get back on track. I'm not going to say it's impossible to maintain an aesthetic physique, cause it is possible, but its up to how you want to live YOUR lifestyle. In order to maintain the body i had for comp, i have to keep up with the lifestyle. But i want to say that is my norm because I'm more aware on the food choices I make for MY body. Klootype.

3.Did you finally meet my coach?
Yes I did, I wasn't as emotional as i thought i would be. I'm just being the drama queen in my head.

4. What was the first thing i ate after comp?
A burger, fries , waffles, pancakes,

5. What was my Food/Macros like post Comp?
i went back to 1550-1600cals. The breakdown is the most important part.
Comp season - I was on 50g of carbs and below. Protein intake was very high and my fat was somewhere in the middle.
Off season - i'm on 70-75g of carbs. Protein is still higher than fat, but i'm allowing myself to have a bit more fat than before. You'd be surprise that an extra 20g of carbs is a lot! For example before if i were to eat about 7 rice cakes i would hit my 50g of carbs. But now i'm allowed up to 12 rice cakes for 75g of carbs.
I know numbers may seem like a pain, but like i said it's about making smarted choices and knowing how to manipulate food for your body.
On 75g of carbs, i noticed i didn't have as much definition as i did prior to 50g of carbs.

6.How will I do things differently?
My training program, i leave it up entirely to my coach.
I'm adding EMS to my training sessions now. 1-2 a week as prescribed by my coach.


Ensure my costume is ready a month in advance.

I'm going to make sure that makeup is all done in the morning and not 2-3 hours before. How i carb load up would also be different.

7. What's your motivation?
I want to get Top 5!

I am my motivation. My family is my motivation. I do the things that I do because i believe that God has a higher purpose for me and I know that it has something to do with helping others. Fitness and Mental wellness goes hand in hand. Doing this comp gears me to improve myself. If I can put myself through this anyone else can. Nothing is impossible, it's just a matter of whether you are willing to sacrifice certain things.


Would i recommend someone to join a comp?
Yes! While competing may not be for everyone, but I do recommend it, because what you learn from the process is so worth it. I've said it before, you get a better understanding of yourself and your body. Having said that, I highly recommend for girls who are about to start taking part to find a good coach that knows about nutrition, training regimes and hormones well. Girls who I hear are eating 1000 calories or even doing cardio for 2 hours in a day, well... I reserve my comments but there is always an alternative and healthier ways to get ready aesthetically, without causing harm to your body.

Will I Compete Again?
Yes I will. I'm aiming for a show in 3months time. This will be a lot harder and a much bigger stage.

I have a different mindset going into this second comp. The first time, i went in with the mind, die die, i'm going to do it. In the past 2 and half months, I toyed with the idea of competing again. It was like as if I could choose not to do it and I could. Cause i've already gone through the challenge why do it again?? I have other priorities in life no?

I will do another comp because I want a new challenge. I want to learn more. Sure there are many ways of getting life lessons, but I found this journey to be a beneficial one. I'm going in this comp, cause I want to beat me!

I conquered the inner demons in my first comp. I have more amo and armour now - which are the knowledge and experience. So i want to try and take it a step further. How far can i challenge my physique, with all the external factors around me. I want to how to handle a stressful situations better.

Hello Youtube family,

I'm a little nervous about posting today's video. I'm sorry it's not the usual chirpy type of vlog. Originally, the footage wasn't supposed to be up so early but life never goes the way we plan right?

It’s been a bit of an emotional week. Due to a missed period, I took a pregnancy test on 8th October to find out we were expecting again. Just to be sure, I sent Tim out to get more tests to be sure. Since he came back with a two-pack, I took another test and it came back positive again. With one spare, I took the other test the next day but it came back negative (note- it wasn’t morning urine). Confused- I sent the hubby to grab more. This time, he came back with a triple pack. The next test was a big fat positive. After the initial confusion, we realised we really wanted this baby and thought maybe this baby was truly meant to be.

At the same time, Tim and I didn’t want to think too much. It was very early so we knew anything could happen since 1 in 5 pregnancies end up in a miscarriage. However, it didn’t stop us from thinking of baby names and envisioning our life as a family of four.

During my photoshoot in London, I felt lightheaded and my stomach pains started to feel more intense. I thought maybe I was just over fatigued so didn’t want to worry myself too much. As I was waiting for my flight back home, I felt pressure in my lower region. I stumbled to the bathroom and realised I was bleeding. Rather than the dark brown spotting I had days ago, it was a brighter colour of red indicating fresh blood. The bleeding eventually stopped for a bit so I felt more assured but as I got out of the airplane, I felt the bleeding started to return. Since I was emotionally and physically tired from the long day, I went to to bed early with hopes that rest could maybe prevent the worse from happening. Around 6am, I woke up to more stomach pains and pressure as I went to use the bathroom, I finally accepted I was having a miscarriage.

I knew my body wasn’t in it’s best condition so in a lot of ways, I wonder if it could’ve been prevented. It’s been an emotional few days. I spent it doing some grieving and I feel a lot better now. Since I was less than 5 weeks along, I’m thankful the loss happened early. To those who have also experienced a loss, I am so so sorry and my heart is with you. Know that you are not alone. We can only try to understand that everything happens for a reason. I hope you can take comfort in your family and friends.

It made me thankful to know Isaac was born into the world safely with no complications. I know Tim and I are still young and we have more opportunities in the future to expand our family.

We were not ready for another baby and the pregnancy was definitely a shock but our early loss has made us realise that if we are blessed to get pregnant again in the future, we would be ready and happy for it.

Physically, my body doesn’t feel too bad. It just felt like I was having a very heavy period. Usually my flow finishes in 4-5 days but my womb completely cleared within 2 days. Still experiencing a little nausea and cramping but I’m getting lots of cuddles from the family. Chubbi and Domo make fantastic hot water bottles too.

Even though it was an early miscarriage, I think I was a more upset about it than I thought I would be. I wasn’t as excited as I was with my first pregnancy and it was because I was overwhelmed since I knew what to expect. Once I started to embrace the changes about to come our way, I was able to connect with my pregnancy with excitement. Unfortunately, by then- the pregnancy couldn't progress.

Tim has reminded me that I could’ve been perfectly healthy and careful and yet sometimes, these things will just happen. We still feel incredibly blessed for our family already. We will leave it all to the Lord. He has been taking care of our family and we know everything happens for a reason. We know other people out there have had it way worse. Our situation is nothing in comparison. We are always going to be thankful ^_^

Love, the Bubz family xo
