Colour Me Beautiful

This is the name of a workshop I attended, courtesy of my church's women fellowship group (basically, the ladies in this group are in charge of organising stuff to make life more interesting for the women in church). And so, the event for September was this workshop, entitled 'Colour Me Beautiful'. It is actually a beauty-grooming course, catered to help ladies discover their 'seasons' and in this way, enable them to dress better to impress, attract and be presentable.

The speaker, Ms Hannie Hay was absolutely delightful as she briefed us through the concept of first impressions, colour coordination and body language. Being highly entertaining and amicable, she spoke to the 'woman' in all of us as she identified common perceptions and misconceptions, as well as stereotypes in the explanation of grooming and dressing. Tickled by her wry humour and comical antics, the ladies had a great laugh in addition to learning great grooming tips.
One of the key concepts in this workshop was 'seasons'. Apparently, in determining what colours are deemed flattering for an individual, we need to find his/her right season. The 4 seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are essential in the selection of clothes for an individual and your particular season is determined by skin colour, skin undertones, hair, eyes etc. Once you find your 'season', you'll be able to choose colours that complement instead of dull your look and demeanor. Ladies generally have 2 seasons, eg. summer-winter or autumn-spring while gentlemen have one season. 'Season' is one main reason that causes an individual to receive comments like "You look really great in this colour" or "Hmm, you look a little pale today, are you feeling alright?" Thus, in this way, one can attract and look pleasing in the right colour or appear lackluster and tired in an unsuitable colour.
So, look out for that fitting colour the next time you go shopping :)

Indian-Nepalese Food - Nice, Really Nice...

Whoa!
My 1st time trying indian-nepalese cuisine at this place located at Little India and it's seriously yummy!

The place was recommended by Bala who drove us to this restuarant for some tantalising indian food guaranteed to satisfy your tastebuds!

It was so delicious that yours truly could not stop raving about it as i ate one helping after another! As seen from the pictures, Eugene & Christine were too busy gobbling down the food and all they could say was "This is really good! Thanks, Bala!"

Yes, indeed...many thanks go to Mr Bala, who brought us to such a fantastic eating place...You're the man!!!

The selection we tasted consist of garlic naan (with this bright green mint sauce, but it's really nice), aloo mattar (peas & potatoes), mixed vegetables, butter chicken and briyani rice. Though the food came in small-sized metal bowls, but the quantity was enough to stuff all of us silly and the quality was absolutely fabulous!

A must-try for 1st timers to indian-nepalese cuisine!
