Review of Transformers 4: Age of Extinction
The Cathay had Bumblebee and Optimus Prime displayed so of course, I had to take photos of them and a selfie too! Ming and I went to watch Transformers: Age of Extinction and I know that there are 2 camps on this movie – those who love it and those who hate it. Reasons why...

Review of Dim Sum at Canton Paradise

Gentle Yet Tough 2-in-1 Biore Uru Uru Foaming Wash
As a lazy and exhausted office worker, the last thing you want to do when you come home is spend more than 5 minutes to wash off grime, dirt and make up off your face. I was a bit skeptical when I read the Biore’s Uru Uru 2-in-1 Instant Foaming Wash claims to be able...
