Beauty Tip : Cleanse face regularly

I am thankful that I am youthful looking. My facial cleansing process would be :
a) Use a good cleansing lotion to wipe off the dirt on the face, before washing. I have done so for many years, and likewise after my army/reservist training (those days).
b) Apply toning and moisturiser lotions... I have stopped doing so for a while cos, some say we should let our skin 'breathe'.
For me, I used Kose in the past...now, I chose Shiseido
Not forgetting, lotsa vegetables & fruits and less deep-fried food.

Song 2 [Canto] : 四季歌

Sorry, if everyone is sort of bored with 'goldies'...sometimes, such songs are just as nice and memorable that till today, singers are still doing their renditions at concerts etc.....

For a change, I am introducing non-English songs too ....This is one of my favourite cantonese song ...soothing, touchy... phrases (in purple) moved me.

四季歌 by 达明一派
词:林夕曲:郑雨贤

红日微风催幼苗
云外归鸟知春晓
哪个爱做梦,一觉醒来
床畔蝴蝶飞走了


船在桥底轻快摇
桥上风雨知多少
半唱半和一首歌谣
湖上荷花初开了
chorus

四季似歌有冷暖
来又复去争分秒
又似风车转到停不了
令你的心在跳


桥下流水赶退潮
黄叶风里轻轻跳
快快抱月睡 星星闪耀
凝望谁家偷偷笑


何地神仙把扇摇
留下霜雪知多少
蚂蚁有洞穴
家有一扇门
门外有风呼呼叫

Health Tip 1 : Drink lotsa water

Many of us know the importance of drinking at least 8 cups of water every day. Some of us do so faithfully, while others may drink other forms of beverage to bring water into the bodies.

One good tip - which I do faithfully is to drink 3 cups/glasses of water every morning when I wake up - it not only cleanses the body, it helps to move bowels too. Try it ... it works.

Song 1 [Eng] : Wind Beneath My Wings

This 'goldie' song by Bette Midler reminds me of the importance of appreciating our loved ones and friends who have been with us, being there for us to give us the needed 'lift' to move on in life. It's the theme song of the movie Beaches.

It must have been cold there in my shadow, to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
