Colgate SlimSoft Event

Many thanks to Nuffnang (Nuffnang Singapore | Asia Pacific's First Blog Advertising Community) and Colgate (Colgate tooth brush | colgate.com.sg), I received an invitation to the Colgate SlimSoft Event on 30th June 2012 @ Skyve Elementary Bistro & Bar

It was a party to introduce us to the new toothbrush from Colgate. It's the Colgate SlimSoft toothbrush and with only 0.01mm bristles, it is currently one of the toothbrush with the thinnest bristles in Singapore.

I was first introduced to this toothbrush after reading BeatriceTan's blog. But it was through Daphne's blog (MOTHER, INC. —) did I receive my invitation to the party. Thank You both!

Lastly, that's Brad @ Lady Iron Chef - I always visit his blog whenever I'm looking for places to dine in.

Some of the finger food from Skyve. Pretty good =)

Some fun facts that I've learnt from the event

1.  The Chinese are believed to have invented the first natural bristle toothbrush made from the bristles from pigs' necks in the 15th century, with the bristles attached to a bone or bamboo handle. When it was brought from China to Europe, this design was adapted and often used softer horsehairs which many Europeans preferred. Other designs in Europe used feathers. - taken from Colgate website.
2. We have to keep our toothbrush 6 feets away from the toilet as air bourne can travel up to 6 feets after flushing.

Proper Brushing Technique
Tilt the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline and sweep or roll the brush away from the gumline.	Gently brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using short back-and-forth strokes.	Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.

Proper Flossing Technique
Use about 18" of floss, leaving an inch or two to work with.	Gently follow the curves of your teeth.	Be sure to clean beneath the gumline, but avoid snapping the floss on the gums.

My take-home - a bag full of goodies ^^

Lastly, will like to thanks Nuffnang & Colgate for organizing such an awesome party. Hope for more to come!

The fateful meeting * 那次的邂逅

Everything was like a drama-mama, till date.

It all started on 20th Dec 2010, when he dropped me a message on wholivesnearyou (WLNY).

Back then, just like with any other people I know on the cyberspace, he is just someone offering his time for me to chat with (also know as "aka"), entertaining me.

How will I knew back then, him, who was all the way in another country, would have turned up to be my "Mr Right".

Finding him rather silly back then, staying in Guangzhou, yet looking for a wife in Singapore (ah yes, he used to stay in SG, thus in WLNY, long before I even know his existence), it kept me interested for a while to chat.

With this little photo on my profile picture, that's how we know each other:

It wasnt long before rushing home daily on time to find the silly guy waiting for me online turns into an addiction.

Msn, Sms, Skype, Phone calls, that's how things kept going.

After a few rounds of testing water, the silly one finally pluck up all his courage & asked me to be his girlfriend (=^_^=) how shy it was back then for both of us. That marks the date 20th Jan 2011.

This all happened, before we even met in person, can you believe it?! Talk about long-distance cyber relationship. Do you even going to believe that it'll last or even happen in real life?

18th Feb 2011 : naive me decided that I'm going to hop on a jet first-time ever, all alone early morning, & fly 4hours over to Guangzhou, with just 1000RMB in bag, to meet this cyber boyfriend. Jittery, and full of suspicion.

What if he's lying?

What if he's a robber, kidnapper, etc and I can never come back home safely?

What if he didnt turn out to be the way I expected?

What if I didnt turn out to be the way he expected & he despise me?

What if it's all a joke & he didnt even turn up at the airport, because I only booked air ticket, no hotel, no nothing?

What if..........

What if......

What if...

My mind was filled with questions, that I can never answered, till I reached there.

整件事至今，就好像只有在电视剧里才会发生的情节。

一切都在2010年12月20日，当他在wholivesnearyou (WLNY) 给我留言开始。

当时，就像其他我在网上认识的人一样，他是个肯花时间陪我聊天的人，又或是说，娱乐我的人。

我又怎会知道当时，他，一个远在另一个国家的人，会是我的真命天子。

当时觉得他很傻，住在广州，却想在新加坡找老婆 （啊，对了，他曾经住在新加坡，所以才会在WLNY出现，远在我还不知道他的存在之前），让我对跟他聊天感到有兴趣。

就是这张照片，我们认识了彼此：

不离很长的时间，每天放工准时赶回家上网和已经在线上等我的他聊天成了一种习惯。

Msn，手机简讯，Skype, 手机通话，就是这样维系的。

经过几次的尝试，傻傻的他终于鼓起了所有勇气开口叫我做他的女朋友  (=^_^=) 两个人都很不好意思呀。一切都在2011年1月20日。

这一切都发生在我们两面对面见到对方之前，你能相信吗？！说到远距离网上恋爱。你相信它会持久或发生在现实生活上吗？

 2011年2月18日：单纯的我决定第一次坐上飞机，一大早单独一人，飞四小时到广州，包包里仅1000人民币，去见这个网上男朋友。又紧张，又怀疑。

如果他撒谎呢？

如果他是劫匪或绑匪而我又不能安全回到新加坡呢？

如果他不像我想象的那样呢？

如果我不像他想象的那样他嫌弃我呢？

如果这一切只是个玩笑而他并没有在机场出现，我只定了机票，没定酒店，什么都没呢？

如果。。。。。。。。。

如果。。。。。。

如果。。。

我脑海里充满了问号，都是我解答不了的，至到我抵达那里。
