Basically...

My end-of-year exams are coming like, in 6 days! Yes I know rightttt, that’s not even a week! But anyway I and the rest have been up to some funny stuff HAHA. (I know!! I should be studying. But I’m too fun loving to let them enjoy the fun without me!)

By the way, we’ve a brand new group name: Jam.Dance.Wow! :D In Chinese, its 简单话 Jian1 Dan1 Hua4. Hehehehe, we’re lame yes yes yes but it’s a cool name righttt! Next time we can be searched on youtube as jamdancewow. Woohoo! Although we only have one video up on youtube now, subscribe subscribe subscribe to our channel! We promise to be diligent and do covers and post interesting stuff regularly~

Back to the topic,
Fun stuff:
#1 Ma3querade at its first two fleas!
#2 “Night of Xinyao” concert which will be held in the NTUC Auditorium on 17th September :D
#3 We took part in the FIRST online singing competition organized by Channel U (x
#1 Ma3querade @ our very first flea!

So…if y’all don’t know us personally, you’d probably not know that we also own an online mask shop (Ma3querade!) :D:D:D We decided to invest in masks, cuz we thought that masks are really what people who’re in their older teens/ early twenties currently need! For us, especially for myself, I use it on a regular basis and yessss, you’d have a blemish-free face! So, we decided to bring in the very special masks that we’re currently in love with: jelly masks! Especially the soya jelly masks.

They have the same effect as SK-II masks (which are priced at around $20++ to $40 odd), and, we being nice people (ah-hem *coughs*) bring in the masks cause we wanna use it at supplier price too~ So, we don’t earn much from you guys when you make your purchases! The soya bean mask is really a must-try!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know how else I can emphasize my point, but it’s honestly the best mask I’ve tried!!

It looks like that….

Absolutely fab packaging right! :D

:D:D Which gives you another reason to get your soya masks now! :):)

And yes! We’ve decided to go for a flea coz we felt that direct sales would bring in revenue faster and we ourselves enjoy shopping at fleas :D

Some flea pixxx:



#2 Xinyao performance!

I wrote this one week before the performance!

Omg I’m so excited about it! Cos I’ve been like studying and doing nothing other than shopping and studying recently and I miss performing so much! I think it’s the passion working on me. Or maybe it’s the addiction towards performing working up. Btw performing chances are given to us by Imagine Music SG and TCR Music Station! I really appreciate every chance that’s given to me, because I actually learn different things from every single performance. And from every performance, more experience and confidence is earned! Can’t wait for 17th September! *exciteddd*

Allen, Fengyi and me were be the performers from Imagine Music SG for the night, bringing a total of four xinyao songs to the audience! For those who’re curious, 我的朋友我的同学,让全世界起舞,晨的脚踪 & 我们是最好的朋友! All four are were very popular and famous songs in the 80s-90s. And we’re extremely honoured to be able to perform on the same stage as local veterans (xinyao singers)!

#3 We’re going for our first online singing competition! :D
(One week before the recording too!)
Its gonna be soooo fun! Actually we already planned to do some covers together just for fun’s sake…but now, there’s such a great opportunity for us to share our passion with a greater audience! I’m really hoping y’all will like what we’ve done!! :D The competition is called “I just wanna sing!” / “
我就是爱唱歌!”. You guys can check us out on xinmsn.com/sing!

We’re gonna give it our best shot of course, hopefully it’ll be nice. But it’s our first time singing together as Ziploc-traffic actually, so don’t be too harsh on us :(!!! No lah, just saying but actually we accept comments extremely well! Please give us your honest honest comments!

We covered 我爱他 by ding dang :D



Okaaay so actually we’re supposed to have known whether we got in Top 12 or not, but apparently no news so far! We’re taking it really optimistically, e.g. No lah judges haven’t finished watching :S But I’m actually really quite worried hehehe. Thing is, we just wanna have fun and we just wanna share our music!

We had so much fun recording it, we can't wait for our next cover! :D:D:D The NGs and fun behind the scenes were actually much more fun to watch than the real thing itself :p

Back to studyinnnn'~ (sings)Everyday I'm studyingg~ -to the tune of everyday i'm shufflin'
Zai jian!

love, valerie

Ma3querade First Flea







Hi Guys!

This few weeks have been very fruitful for us because we have been going to Fleas to promote our Mask. Its the first time we ever set up a stall in Flea for Ma3querade and it is also the first ever time i set up my own stall!



I do have mixed feelings for it because its actually rather tough( no air-con, no fan, no comfortable chairs) but its really fun as well with the company of Valerie and Felicia:)We were really unprepared and disorganized cause we did not know what to expect from our first flea. We had tables made by shoe racks and plastic boards(i know it's retarded-.-), table cloth that were supposedly a bathroom mat and no canvas to prepare us for rainy days. And the Oh-So-Fine weather played us out and started to rain! After observing the other vendors, we realized dat we had so much to learn. Canvas for rainy days, portable chairs to sit, and foldable tables that are really convenient compared to our shoe rack table-.-



Yes! look at our pathatic shoes rack table!

And because we were going on a low budget, i had to approach a food stall aunty at the coffee shop to spare us a foldable table to display our products!(i practically gave a helpless look and blinked my close-to-tearing eyes)

But all went well with nice humans buying our mask. and our tagline of the day? You just need to buy one, if you think its good, go to our website:)We came out with promotions like 3 Jelly Mask for $7, getting free gift, All sorts of promotional package we can think off. The sales was so-so but i really enjoy singing in the rain with the girls to prepare ourselves for the Channel U competition.Oh yes! please please support us for the competition!



The Funniest

My First KL Trip~

Hello dears~ After so many years, yes!! I'm back to blogging~ its nice to share my thoughts and great stuffs with you peeps~

I just came back from my KL trip during aug, it's my first trip to KL, and i was so eggcited abt it! I was helping out for a movie production 'We Not Naughty' by our local director Jack Neo, which will be broadcasted next year 2012 during CNY! And most importantly, our Roy Li Feihui laoshi is part of it! ^^And many other artistes including local XinYao singers will be acting in it too! So do show your support for our very own local movie ~!! :D

Thou its more like a 'work' trip, but i still very much enjoyed it! I have some great food to share~

OLD TOWN WHITE COFFEE – from Malaysia

Woots~ I went to the outlet at Sungei Wang for breakfast, the food are AWESOME max!

The French Toast~

Saw the chicken prata, it looks so small, different from the normal prata we eat, that’s y wanna try it! ^^ I.m a curry and prata lover! The breakfast set is so fulfilling too!

Love all the different choices of loti from OLD TOWN! Yums Yums~ I have OLD TOWN breakfast for 2 consecutive days! LOL

We do have a few outlets in Singapore, anyone tried it before? Wonder if they have the same awesome food choices as Malaysia? Haha, shall try it some day!

Oh, you know what I’ve found? The long lost memories… A&W the bear! whee~ Rmb still seeing it when I was in primary school, I thought it vanished! So happy to see it in KL! I hope it will come back to Singapore cos their food are nice neh! Miss their specialty drink, the ROOT BEER Float~

I tried their Chicken fingers, wow! Its much nicer than ‘M’ nuggets, seriously! Am missing it already.. Can someone deliver it for me from Malaysia? PLSS~~ T.T

Here’s the cute bear sitting there! And you see how nice the design is!

Malaysia is well known for their 路边摊 and durians! During my trip this time, I have been eating a lot of different kinds of durians, and its sooo much tastier and cheaper than Singapore! The coffee shop beside the Pearl International Hotel I’m staying, their rojak and fried bean curd is so damn nice can! The rojak taste is different from ours and the auntie replace YouTiao with her home made cracker, tats the nicest part and the BBQ beancurd skin is crisppy, I like! So sad they din have it here. Opps, pardon me that I dun have the awesome food pics, but I’m sure you’ll find great food all over Malaysia! Hee~

Drooling anyone? Ha.. It’s indeed a memorable trip for me. Next time I shall share with you the good and affordable products I’m using! See ya then!
