I will like to share my experiment of facial Kua-sa with those ladies’ who are interested to have a younger looking skin.
I am not a professional Beautician by trade but I picked up this Facial Kua-Sa a few years back and have benefitted from it . I have be using this method to do monthly facial on my own at home and have save money for not visiting the SPA. A few SHC members have see the result of this facial Kua-sa .
I have very bad pigmentation as I am always under the hot-sun with my kids’s outdoor activities. With this facial method – it have lighten the pigmentation , lift-up the skin around the Cheeks where it will always form a "Pa-Zhi" as we age. It helps to soften wrinkles on the fore-head as well as crow-feet around the eyes.
This facial Kua-Sa will help blood-circumlate around the facial area which result in a more radiant & growing skin.
So , all the "Ai-Swee" ladies who are interested … Sign in for a morning class at Cafe.

Han Cafe is not going to take our nonsense anymore after making so much noise and effecting the other customers dinning in the Cafe ( even with 20 members on the last craft day , we are rather noisy-haha). I would like to hold this fabric painting class at "Singapore Botanic Garden". While waiting for the "project" to dry , we can chat and have a pinic at the green green grass of land with plenty of fresh air . Members can have the choice of painting on a pair of shoes , T-shirt or both. I will provide the paints and some accessories for the design on the T-shirt (will advice material cost later). Those who are interested , please sign into this post . Members who are not joining in the craft , can come down and join us for the pinic and we can have our evening chatting away freely. Cost of the food will be share among the members or I will collect $5 for food and need some of the members to help buy some Yummy food/snacks for the pinic. Thanks for your support and please do give me any suggestion if u have for the craft or the pinic.

Those who are still interested to make the ANgels/Butterfly can come down and join us as well, I still have some stock of the crystal. If members need to re-do their angels from the last class , please bring it along with u.
I am with SHC for a few month and had joined them in the cycling and walk events .
SHC members have been posting alot of interesting events like Travelling, Durian Fest , Dancing and even Soccer. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce "Craft Classes" into the SHC event.
I make crystal accessories , bags from old pairs of Jeans , brighten up my white shoes with fabric paint…. I met some members at the Bukit Batok walk who find my craft very interesting.
These are some of the craft we can start with:
Swarovski Crystal Angel ( very ideal gift for Christmas)
Swarovski Crystal Butterfly
Fabric painting on white shoe
Mini bag from old pair of Jeans
My creations (including Crystal Angel pieces) can be viewed here –
I will like to share this little "bean Bag" I use whenever I have my shoulder ache, neck pain and back pain. I was using it to ease my neck pain last night and I think of sharing it with the SHCian.
Sew a little pillow case of about 10" x 5" and fill 3/4 full with wheat (Xiao Mia – look like the bailey – u can get it at any provision shop or NTUC.
Heat the "Bean Bag" in the mirco-wave oven for 1min-1 1/2min. Place it on the "Body ache" . Please place a small towel over it if u have sensitive skin. It help alot especially on the Knee-Cap pain. It don cure but it release the pain. Some old folk told me that their knee cap is not that painful after long term using it.
I used to sewed this bag for old folk and they are very happy as some are too poor to keep going to the doctor whenever they have this knee-cap problem.
If u have friends and relative who stay in cold country , they can use this as a warmer in the winter. Please try it out or pass this "Bean Bag Remedy" to friends. It is cheap and reliable as well.
If u keep this bean bag dry ,u can use it for many years. Good Luck
I was reading one of Steven Chan Posting on "The Joy of Eating & Cooking" and wanted to share this Simple & Easy way of cooking Nasi Bryani/Chicken Bryani .
I am a very lousy cook by nature and do not enjoy cooking at all but this "dish" is very easy to cook and is very "Yummy"
Pauline Khoo & Sally Kang had been my guests for this dish and enjoyed it very much. I used to cook for my church gathering as well.
