Are you tossing oranges for Chap Goh Meh?

February 27, 2010 Paris B 6 Comments

  • Save

February is a short month made even shorter by the Chinese New Year festivities which end tomorrow on Chap Goh Meh or the 15th day of the Lunar Month.

Traditionally, on Chap Goh Meh, unmarried men and women will throw mandarin oranges into the river with a wish to find their life partner.

So, while I go hunt up a spare mandarin orange to throw into the nearest large body of water available (which is incidentally the swimming pool – I wonder if that will work :P) please take a look at what some of my other beauty blogging friends have been on about in February :-

  • DIY your own mirrored blotter case – Soloverly
  • Chartreuse Taupe and Purple eye look : Who’d have thought it possible to look that good – Skindeco
  • Picking up good vibrations with the Neutrogena Wave – Red Luscious Lips
  • Try Maybelline Mineral foundation for inexpensive foundation that works – AskMeWhats

While I’m at it, also read Karen’s 5 days of Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick starting with Mademoiselle (which I am craving along with Cambon). The lady’s a natural wit, model and gorgeous to boot!

Enjoy the weekend and if you are tossing oranges, don’t go falling into the water – unless you can swim and that cute guy who caught your eye is on hand to save you 😉

    well in Beijing, yesterday night chap goh mei was celebrated with lots of fireworks and ppl eating Yuan Xiao or Tang Yuan. There were plenty of those sold everywhere. Tonight im gonna be tasting em myself coz my fren invited me along. However he said that here there is no throwing oranges into the “nearest large body of water” though. hahaha.

    Shoot! I missed it! Does it apply if I throw oranges not on that particular day? 🙂

    Will never forget when I was dating this guy some years back and his younger sister (who was a couple of years older than me) INSISTED on throwing oranges into Sg Klang on Chap Goh Meh. Up till that point, I’d not known anyone who actually did that. Just thought it was something people did in ancient China.

    Think Wanita MCA should have taken some advantage of this orange throwing activity and organised one of their get-togethers!

    I think she did! I wasn’t very supportive. I think I said something like, “You know… coconut is better because will float and surely someone will pick it up. Bigger space to write message summore. Orange may sink and just wasted your effort.”

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
