Unacceptable Responses to the Taylor Swift vs Kim Kardashian Drama right now

(And also unacceptable for any form of internet drama. Also, my thoughts on the saga)


So Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian are having a huge fight right now, which unless - good for you 😒- you are one of those enlightened people who don't give a shit about celebrity gossip, you probably have heard about.

As with all internet drama, there will be people leaving comments and giving their opinions.


Thinking about leaving your opinion or comment about the drama? DON'T DO IT YET.

Today I will be posting about 6 types of comments people leave and WHY THEY ARE UNACCEPTABLE.

Unacceptable!



But first, since this post is written for this Taylor Swift (and squad) vs Kim Kardashian West (and family) drama, let's quickly recap what just happened. If you already know, skip to the part with the red words.

Background:

Back in 2009 Kanye West went on stage interrupting some award Taylor Swift got, and said Beyonce should have won instead. This one we all knew, right?

Since then, he has been pretty painted as the villain in my mind, and I'm sure, everyone else's too. No matter if it is right that Beyonce should have won, nothing could justify him going on stage to shit on someone else's parade. That's just pure asshole. And so damn attention seeking.

Years past since, and Kanye West then wrote a song called "Famous" which was released in February.

The song included Taylor Swift in the lyrics:

"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex

Why? I made that bitch famous"

You might think this sounds crude and offensive, but the rest of the song continues worse including Kanye talking about how his dick makes girls famous. In fact, these two lines about Taylor, in my opinion, are almost complimentary if you compare them to his usual crude style.

The only very offensive thing is the grammar.

Me and Taylor???? 

WHY?? IT'S SO PAINFUL Y U NO STUDY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL


After the song came out, Taylor Swift's rep came out with the following statement:

“Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his “Famous” on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that bitch famous.”

Shortly afterwards during her Grammy speech Taylor continued to passive aggressively attack Kanye:

"There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame"

MINUS 10 POINTS TAYTAY! Only cowards do cryptic attacks!


Meanwhile, Kanye, clearly incensed, took to twitter to say that he did not diss Taylor:

Sadly for Kanye, although evidence now suggests he was indeed telling the truth, he is so incoherent and illiterate that the rest of his tweets that followed made him just sound insane:

Right... Ok Kanye I will leave you to your hallucinogens.

Kim Kardashian then told GQ again what Kanye already said:

"She totally knew it was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't." Kim Kardashian added that Taylor's lie was very unfair to Kanye and suggested Taylor was playing the victim. She also added that Taylor had promised to go on to the Grammys and tell everyone that she was actually in on the joke and had approved of the lyrics.

Taylor's reps responded by condescendingly saying Kim is under a lot of pressure and just repeating what Kanye said - which are incorrect.


This swiftly (ahaha) became a he said she said situation. Both camps are adamant on their stance, and it seems like this issue will never be resolved and us, the innocent public so baited into the drama, will never know the truth.



AND NOW, THE BOMB.


Kim Kardashian took to Snapchat to drop a series of videos. The videographer was filming Kanye West speaking on speakerphone to Taylor Swift, who most definitely didn't seem to know she was being recorded.

You can view the full transcript here.

In the video, Kanye can be seen clearly enunciating to Taylor the lyrics "I think me and Taylor might still have sex". She obviously approves and thanks him again and again for respecting her by letting her know his lyrics in advance. Kanye acts like a complete gentleman by telling her relationships are more important than punchlines.

Supporters from both camps then gave their opinions.

RED WORDS RED WORDS RED WORDS RED WORDS

My thoughts

After the video came out, Taylor's defence is that she never approved of the line "I made that bitch famous".

I AM SORRY BUT DO YOU TAKE US FOR IDIOTS TAYLOR

The video proves beyond a doubt Taylor Swift is a liar and a hypocrite. Btw I had rather liked her before this saga.


1) Taylor said that Kanye did not call her to ask for approval for the lyrics, but rather thick-skinnedly just to ask her to put up his video on her twitter, which she declined.


We can see that Kanye obviously DID ask Taylor for lyric approval. Taylor even adds that she is pleasantly surprised to get that honour, which she did not expect from Kanye. The lengthy discussion about the lyrics suggest that that was the purpose of the phone call.

Did Kanye call to ask for approval?

100% without a doubt he did.


2) Taylor only took offence at being called "that bitch", which Kanye never seeked her approval about.

Oh get your stick outta your ass... How is being called "that bitch" offensive? It happens so damn often in rap. In context of the lyrics, it doesn't seem like it's meant to insult.

But this is Taylor's only possible exit route, because the video shows Kanye so clearly letting her know the sex part of the lyrics and her approving. She even mentions the bit about him making her famous in the phone conversation!

Besides, speaking of approval...

I AM SORRY DID YOU EVER SEEK YOUR EXES' APPROVAL WHEN YOU SANG ABOUT THEM, TAYLOR??

So Kanye called you a bitch and claimed credit for your fame. Seriously who cares what Kanye says?? He shoots his mouth off so often, nobody.

You, on the other hand, said the following about John Mayer.

Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Don’t you think nineteen’s too young
To be played by your dark, twisted games?
Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home, I should've known.

You want to speak character assassination? In a few brilliant lines you manage to suggest he is some sort of sadistic, predatory serial paedophile - which is way worse than Kanye calling you a bitch.

Just because you hide behind the mask of cryptic passive aggressive attacks doesn't mean you are above it all. At least Kanye never left it open to interpretation who "Taylor" in his song is, like you made everyone know "Dear John" is of last name Mayer without claiming any responsibility for your harsh words.



3) Taylor cautioned Kanye against releasing such a strongly misogynistic song.

HAHAHHAHA I DON'T BELIEVE THIS AT ALL.

Can you imagine Taylor Swift going like



"Hey Kanye why don't you not call women bitches that's so misogynistic." 


Sorry this is a man who spells "scene" as "seen" and drops the N word every other sentence and you really think you can use words like 'misogynistic' on him and hope he sees the light of day? He's gonna be like "Miso what? The japanese soup?"


HAHAHAHAHA OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS

Also, hearing Taylor's obviously pandering tone of voice in the phone convo, I highly doubt she will caution him about anything.

Nope sorry Taytay, don't believe you.



Evidence of lying and duplicity aside, this video is amazing because it shows us a side of Taylor Swift that we never got to see.


This is the real her when she thinks no media is watching.


The video proves beyond doubt that she's a liar. Lying isn't bad, but what are the motives behind a lie? Far more disturbing are the other little telltale signs of her authentic character that proves she isn't the innocent, sweet, helpless young victim she has always portrayed herself to be.




Within the little material that Kim K has bestowed upon us, I conclude the following:

1) The real Taylor Swift is constantly thinking about fame, and how to sustain it. And that's kinda gross.


Proof (transcript): Way before the song even came out she is already brainstorming how to react to the media about it in the best way possible for herself. She is completely aware about what she posts and how many likes there are.


I expect that sort of behaviour from the Kardashians but I liked to think that Taytay fell into it by just having really catchy songs and being so doe-eyed cute.

A video posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Apr 5, 2015 at 12:56pm PDT

How adorable! Look at this video of Taylor and her brother hunting for Easter eggs at home!

Look at her, gangly and gawky and awkwardly running about, with no makeup and awful biker shorts! She's so down to earth. She isn't afraid to show her REAL side to her fans! Look how she and her brother are just like you and yours! How sweet, her mom laughing in the background! Awwwww, the warmth of family! Taylor's just perfect. HEART EYES EMOJI

OR....?

Maybe she had planned this entire charade BECAUSE she knew it will tug at your heartstrings. Maybe she paid her brother and mother to act this out.
Maybe it isn't even her mother filming but her PA, pretending to chuckle in a matronly manner.
Maybe she changed out of designer wear into biker shorts - which her PA went to buy specially because a focus group voted it as "most gawky".
Maybe she doesn't even run awkwardly but she did it for show. Maybe the makeup was applied for 1 hr to look like there isn't makeup.

These are all thoughts that might have crossed our cynical minds.

But the heart believes what it wants to believe. I want to believe that innocent, sweet, and yet a little awkward Taylor exists. The angel who fights for musicians against evil Apple! No, she can't have planned her entire social media persona. She is just being her bubbly self. IT REAL


And just like that, Kim Kardashian dashed (see what I did there) the public persona that took years and years to carefully cultivate.

Anyone watch Zootopia? Seeing Kim reveal Taylor's real personality is like realising the baby fox is actually a scheming, fully self-aware adult Fennec fox.

It may have broken of all our hearts, but we were living a lie, and you broke the matrix and freed us.

Thank you Kim Kardashian, I love you

2) Taylor Swift isn't humble at all but SO DAMN FULL OF HERSELF.

Proof: She says, "I might be in debt, but I can make these things happen. I have the ideas to do it and I create these things and concepts."

Woah woah ok why are you suddenly praising yourself in a phone call to Kanye West? I expect him to be doing that, not you! AND WHAT DEBT?

Quote 2: "You honestly didn’t know who I was before that. It doesn’t matter that I sold 7 million of that album before you did that which is what happened, you didn’t know who I was before that. It’s fine.

HAHAHHA Ultra defensive much?? So hilarious!!


Sorry I had a lot of thoughts about this lol!!!

Back to the main part of my article:

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSES TO INTERNET DRAMA

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE 1: 

The Morally Superior Do-Gooder

"Don't we have more important things to talk about? Like famines and child abuse blah blah"

OFFENDERS:

Selena Gomez:

Remember to say that to anyone who talks about you next time lol

Chloe Moretz

You know what is petulant and unimportant? Most of your movies haha

Martha Hunt

Wanna hear a real problem? Supermodels making everyone have unrealistic expectations of how they are supposed to look! BAM

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!

The losers always say the same fucking shit.


That this drama is simply beneath you, therefore unworthy of further perpetuation or participation.



Bullshit.


It isn't that you have the planet to save and no time for salacious gossip.

IT IS THAT YOU HAVE NO DEFENCE.


So you try to change the topic and pretend you are too up your own arse to care.

Nice try

In one fell swoop you not only establish yourself as being morally superior, you also accuse the other party of being small-minded. If they continue the topic, it proves you right.

NOT.

I'm sorry, but this age-old excuse ain't gonna work.

As for the celebrities who preach this, DON'T BE IDIOTIC. You and your entire career exists for other people's entertainment, and entertainment is by definition frivolous and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

If you want people to only discuss and care about lofty, world issues, then guess what?

NOBODY WILL TALK ABOUT YOU. Nobody will spend any money watching movies or buying your music because all our time, money and efforts should be devoted to worthier causes.

Then where will you be?

So fuck you and your hypocrisy.

But it isn't only the celebrities or parties involved who preach Unacceptable Response 1.


If you read through comments, every 10 comments or so some idiot will preach the same old shit.


You know what? If it isn't interesting or important enough to you...

You don't go to a theatre full of movie-goers and yell at them for watching a movie instead of saving whales.

You don't interrupt someone's tooth-brushing and tell them that their oral hygiene is insignificant compared to the orphans who need his help.


SO WHY ARE YOU STOPPING PEOPLE FROM ENJOYING INTERNET DRAMA


Stop your sanctimonious bullshit and hypocrisy. There you are, obviously drawn to the drama. Otherwise why are you reading about it and leaving your dumbass opinion?


Guess what?


Life is hard. People have problems. Money problems. Health problems. Relationship problems.


To relieve the stress we turn to stress-free things that can occupy our minds.

Like celebrity gossip, or movies, or candy crushing. We don't want to devote our free time to all the sad shit in the world because IT IS DEPRESSING AS FUCK.

Kim K exposing Taylor is too shallow for you? Well, it's important to ME. It is what entertains me. And millions of others too.

You know what ISN'T important to us though?

YOUR OPINION. 

Your thoughts on whether our source of interest is too vapid for you. NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK.

So next time you begin to type a sentence that starts like....

"We should all focus on..."

Hush hunny

If you start saying...

"Who cares about all these..."

Or...

"Shouldn't we use our social media for more importa...."

Or perhaps you wanna type instead...

"As a celebrity you should be using your fame to..."

You aren't special. 

What you are preaching has been said by millions of other similar self righteous pricks before you, and yet Daily Mail continues to thrive. So join us, or leave us alone, thanks.

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE 2: 

The Protector of the Weak

"This is bullying. And you all are bullying too."

OFFENDER:

Ruby Rose

Although to be fair Khloe did seem to go over the line but hey I was entertained watching

All internet dramas results in someone being painted as the villain. 

Instead of focusing on the issue at hand (Taylor Swift is a self-serving shrewd media-manipulating liar OMG!!!111) and talking about that, some moron will be talking about the villain is being bullied by the other person who exposed her.

And of course, as angry hordes are leaving their insulting comments to the villain, some idiot will be there calling everyone bullies.

Then of course blah blah talking about how people commit suicide coz of bullying and cyberbullying is a crime la di da...

BULLYING TAYLOR SWIFT??

You are joking right?

I'm sorry but you cannot use this convenient excuse to not expose the truth about someone simply because their own actions - not the expose itself- will result in a bad public opinion of them!

Sorry that shifty actions cause bad public opinion, but that's that! In this instance, Taylor made her bed now she gotta lie in it.

And you know what? If the "bullying" is making you so upset, just SHUT UP. Yakking about it won't make it better.

Because 

1) You preaching to others to stop bullying won't make them stop, it will just make them angry and change target to bully you too.

2) You leaving a comment only fans the flames and makes it more popular. Your friends who see you leave the comment are notified and who knows, maybe THEY decide to leave a bullying comment.

So the best thing for you to do is to STFU....

Which coincidentally everyone wants you to do.

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE 3:

The Pacifist

"Why can't you be a bigger person and just don't respond? Kill them with kindness."

OFFENDER:

Justin Bieber

URGHHH CAN YOU BE MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT

Quiet now darling the adults are discussing an important topic which is whether Kim and Kanye had planned since the phone call to eventually draw Taylor out in the worst way possible then release it, ok? 

We are debating whether Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook probably had a bidding war on which platform Kim was to release those videos, ok? And sometimes, when adults talk, they disagree on things and raise their words to caps. That's the way the world is dear.

So go watch some Carebears and...

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE 4:

The Dejected

"I am so disappointed in Taylor/Kim"

The only person who cares if they disappointed you, are internet survey forms asking you how your customer experience has been. #truth

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE 5:

The Equality Fighter

"This is racist!"

Everything is always racist.

Because sometimes it really isn't about race so let's not make it always about that. And when you tell these people as much, they launch into a tirade about how xxx races has suffered so much and now you are the racist one. Le sigh.

UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE 6:

The Uninformed and Proud of it

"Who are these people again and why are they famous? lol"

As if him not knowing the people involved is definitive proof that they are not worthy of fame. Sorry, it proves no such thing, it only proves that you are quite ignorant.

That's the end of my Unacceptable Responses list because that's all I can think of for now.

If you want to leave your comment for the latest internet drama, try to make sure you aren't one of these MEGA ANNOYING PEOPLE!!!

At the end of the day, all these preachy assholes need to realise that people on the internet THRIVE ON THE DRAMA. 

The publicity, no matter how negative it seems now, will turn into money for them. 

So no need to be all holier-than-thou about simply laying back and enjoying the drama without fighting for some lame cause. Do it with no guilt, do it with pride!!!

They are putting on a show for us, so just savour it!!

Tata for now, I'm gonna read all the new articles about the feud. #loveit

My Double Eyelid Surgery with Beverly Wilshire

Advertorial

If you follow me on snapchat (id: Thexiaxue) you would know that about a month ago I did my double eyelid surgery! Here is the blog post about my latest plastic surgery journey!

As I mentioned on my Dollywink post, I have double eyelids but they are tapered and low. So I always put on eyelid tape whenever I have makeup on.



You can see the difference with tape and without.

I've actually gone through eyelid surgery before in 2010 - you can see the post here. In 2010, I did the sewing of eyelids** and the cutting of the outer corner of my eyes.

That surgery was terrible. Like so so so so bad. The surgeon was a China guy who can't even speak English. It was extremely painful. I had a shot of LA under my eyes that felt like it pierced into my eyeballs and what's worse is that I knew I had to go through it again for my other fucking eye. Pain scale 9/10.

After the surgery, I realised that both my eyeballs suffered trauma and both my eye whites became a very scary red colour, from multiple burst blood vessels in the eyes.

The redness which made me look like Lord Voldemort incarnate lasted for MONTHS. When confronted, the centre told me it is normal, but it is only now that I've been told it means the surgeon was very rough with my eyes and this is not normal at all.

Then it came to the removal of stitches. I cannot begin to say how fucking painful it was. It was truly the most painful I've ever felt in my life, even worse than the LA jab into my eyeballs.

It was an inexperienced nurse removing the stitches for me, and she kept tugging at the threads around my sore and tender wounds. She tugged and tugged and still the stitches didn't come out, so the ordeal lasted over half an hour. It was half an hour of pure torture and I cried and cried and begged her to stop but she just kept saying it's about to be done. I was actually yelling and when it was finished I couldn't stop crying. And since I have a super high threshold of pain, when I say this is 10/10 painful it means it really is.

All these would have perhaps been worth it if my surgery made my eyes any nicer, BUT IT DIDN'T.

There was NO DIFFERENCE. I know in the blog post I linked I said it looks better but after the swelling went down, the eyelids become low and tapered again (as evident in the photo above) and I didn't feel the outer corner incisions made any difference.

 So I just used eyelid tape afterwards and didn't bother anymore.

Then Beverly Wilshire approached me interested in a collaboration, so I gave them a visit.

Their centre is located in Johor Bahru, a 10 min drive from the causeway so it is very convenient for Singaporeans to go to.

What is Beverly Wilshire?

Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre (BWMC) is a multi-award-winning integrated beauty medical centre that sets the standards in cosmetic surgery, aesthetic medicine (non-surgical and laser treatments), and healthy ageing (wellness and regenerative therapy) in the Asia Pacific region. The centre offers a comprehensive range of established cosmetic procedures, aesthetic treatments and health services, allowing the provision of a holistic approach to its three core specialities.

BWMC is backed by registered and board-certified plastic surgeons. All cosmetic and aesthetic procedures are performed by highly experienced and qualified doctors in world-class operating theatres using the latest FDA approved medical equipment.

 In short, Beverly Wilshire is a plastic surgery centre, but they are more than just that.

Being situated in Johor Bahru, Singaporeans might feel a little apprehensive but all my doubts disappeared when I saw their centre.


The centre is HUGE and occupied most of the second level of the building.

Everything inside is very posh, newly renovated and clean.

The centre actually has its own wards for patients to rest after surgery. They are fully equipped and very comfortable, with many nurses around.

The surgery room is also within the centre and they have their own professional anaesthetist.


Singaporeans may not have heard of Beverly Wilshire but they are an established name in Plastic Surgery in Kuala Lumpur.

BWMC won many awards before, including a very prestigious "International Cosmetic Surgery Clinic of the Year" - competing against clinics AROUND THE WORLD.


Cheesie actually went to their centre for a review back in 2013. Many celebrities actually go to them for treatments!!


Their JB branch, which I went to, is newly opened.

Here's Yutaki and me at the centre.

Yutaki and I consulted with Dr Lawren Lee, who does aesthetic procedures such as botox or fillers.


Next I consulted with Dr David Cheah, whose full name is really very full: Professor Dato Dr David Cheah Sin Hing. He sure damn sian when he got to fill up forms with his name.

Seriously he has so many prefixes to his name that I don't know which one to call him to be the most respectful... is it Professor or Dato or Doctor? (Answer seems to be Professor)

Anyway, obviously Professor Cheah is super experienced and he was so very patient when I was consulting with him.

At this point I actually didn't want to do any invasive surgery (Mike sure don't allow) but Yutaki kept convincing me to do my eyes.

I went home and talked to Mike about it and also my mom... Surprisingly enough my mom said yea the eyelid tapes are actually quite obvious so she thinks I can go ahead and do this one.

Sometimes, after I remove my eyelid tape one eye still has the thick eyelids and the other the low tapered version. It looks so uneven and ugly lah... This can last for days so I look damn weird without makeup.

Mike didn't want me to do the surgery but I explained to him about the uneven-ness and since it is a pretty simple surgery he allowed me to go ahead with it.

And so I decided on cutting double eyelids and also epicanthoplasty, which is the cutting of the inner corners of the eyes!

Just now I mentioned that I did sewing of double eyelids before in 2010. For those of you who don't know, there are two types of double eyelid surgery - Sewing and Cutting.

Sewing is the less invasive of the two. It involves simply weaving a thread through your eyelids. It is reversible, but might not be permanent.

The cutting method involves actually cutting out a wedge of skin/fats in your eyelids. It is permanent but takes a longer time to recover.

Since the sewing method did balls for me, I decided this time to do the cutting method. Prof Cheah also suggested epicanthoplasty because he said the inner corners of my eyes needed to be cut to achieve parallel eyelids.

************************

The day of the surgery came. Sorry no pics because I was put in scrubs and wheeled into surgery room pretty much immediately.

I ate lunch normally (phew wasn't asked to fast), had a last consult with Prof Cheah about what I wanted for my eyes, and he begin to mark the spots on where he was going to cut etc...

I was told I was to go under "twilight surgery", which I have never done before. All of my other surgeries were done under Local Anesthesia so I was fully awake for them.

I was asked to ingest a pill that will make me sleepy. After that, they gave me an injection on my arm that wasn't painful. This was supposed to be the sedative.

OMFG I LOVE THIS SEDATIVE SO MUCH.

Like immediately a feeling of relaxation, happiness and peace spread into my body. The last thing I said to Professor Cheah was "This is wonderful, I can no longer feel my body aches." and he laughed.

Subsequently I suppose he started on the surgery. I felt absolutely no pain. My body felt too heavy to move but my mind was still wide awake. I was in a warm state of bliss and I found that being on the sedative was like lucid dreaming. I could control my thoughts to be happy like imagining unicorns and even thinking about Dash being cute and it was so nice. I know this post is supposed to be about the eyes and I know you want to see the end results but omg seriously the surgery process was just so enjoyable.

I now know why people get addicted to drugs lol... Externally I could hear everything that went on in the surgery room, including Professor Cheah listening to English oldies while operating (which I enjoyed as well lol). I remember thinking that I hope the surgery lasts longer because I was having so much fun. Hahaha

Anyway this was a far cry from my previous traumatic surgery wtf.

It was only after the surgery that they put me in the ward and I actually fell asleep. I woke up and could see clearly with no impaired vision but I felt a bit groggy.

Prof Cheah told me the surgery went great and he is very pleased with the results. He also said it was a difficult surgery to do because the China doctor's old threads were still in my eyes and he had to remove them.

Then he showed me the stuff he took out from my eyes: The old threads and bits of fats/skin from my eyelids. I politely declined taking these home.


I felt absolutely zero pain around my eyes. They were the tiniest bit sore but it was nothing.

Immediately after surgery

The eyelids looked very swollen and I still have stitches in. If you do the same surgery, be prepared to be ugly as fuck for at least 4 days? But ok lah can hide behind sunglasses.

I went home, ate some food, played with dash for a bit hiding behind glasses, and slept more.

This is day 3. The little tapes can be taken off after 2 days and Prof Cheah said I can actually put makeup!!

I think this is day 5 or 6 post op with no eye makeup, and the stitches are still there.

I went out for an Urban Decay event and put thick makeup lol...

Here I am squinting in the sunlight as I take a selfie while walking along orchard road. Even though I still had stitches on most people said I didn't really look freaky anymore.


7 days after the surgery, I went back to Beverly to remove the stitches.

Due to my previous horrific Saw-worthy experience with stitch removal, I was scared like crazy but it was Prof Cheah himself who removed my stitches, not some inexperienced nurse. It wasn't painful at all!!

This was taken 1 day after stitch removal. The left is me without eye makeup and the right is only with mascara + a bit of eyeliner drawn at the wings!!

This is so super crazy!! In the past, my eyelashes always point obstinately downwards. Even if I curl them like crazy, I can never achieve this wide-eyed effect, which is why I usually don't bother with mascara and just go with falsies.

Now however, due to the skin being cut and sewn higher, the eyelashes point upwards and look so long when mascara-ed!!

You can still see that the eyelids are a bit swollen still, and Prof Cheah said they will go down even more. The inner corner takes a long time to heal and till now, 1 month after the surgery, they are still a little bit lumpy. But this is normal and it can barely be noticed unless someone looks really closely.

Photos 1 month post op with makeup:

How I wish I have your natural big eyes baby!!

None of the eyes in this post's photos are edited btw.

Very pleased with my eyes now! Thank you Beverly Wilshire and Dr Cheah for making my plastic surgery experience so pleasant.

Other than double eyelid surgery, Beverly Wilshire also does many other procedures such as nose jobs, boob jobs, liposuction, etc. Hair grafting is one of their specialties.

3M Hot, Cold and Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser Review

Advertorial

Our human body is 60% made up of water.

We should drink 8 big glasses of water everyday to replenish our fluids, and drinking enough water makes us healthier, more beautiful, and even less likely to fall sick!

So it is pretty obvious that water is important to us... But water is just water, isn't it? Unlike teas or sweetened drinks, there aren't much choices when it comes to water. The water we drink at home is just... plain water.


I'll be honest. I know most people don't do this, but all my life I've drank my water directly from the tap! I know it's safe-ish because I never fell ill from drinking tap water, but I never did any research on whether it's good to do that or not.

When I was told 3M was giving me a water dispenser, I wasn't very impressed. I thought it was just a filter I had to attach to my tap or some troublesome jug I had to keep refilling.

The day of installation came:

I led the installation guy into my kitchen...

Here he is, taking apart my drawers. I was actually quite surprised because well... it isn't just a filter on my tap, or a jug! The drawers had to be taken apart because a tube had to run directly from my water supply to my 3M Table Top Dispenser.

The tube was running under the cabinets so it won't be ugly and visible.

It looks very messy because my kitchen top has so many items... Of all the things there the one I hate the most is the stupid kettle which you can see is silver and black.

I had refused to buy a kettle. I don't like drinking hot drinks so I don't often use hot water. But if I needed to, I either put water into a pot to boil or put a mug into the microwave. The principle of buying an external appliance for making hot water just offended me because seems so medieval that there shouldn't be an extra apparatus occupying my kitchen top space for it. Nor should I be spending any money buying a KETTLE!

However, having a kid meant making milk and hot water is needed. Frustrated with my obstinate refusal to invest in a kettle, my mom brought one from her house, and it is semi broken with scorchtape on the wire. A bit hazardous. And it's so ugly and takes up so much space and it's so scary like anytime can scald people who touch it accidentally.

ANYWAY I WANTED TO SAY MY KETTLE STORY BECAUSE I CAN NOW FINALLY GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!

I AM SO HAPPY!

My 3M Hot, Cold and Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser is neatly installed!!

Although this is an advertorial, I just want to say, 100% truthfully, that it is probably one of the most used items in my house, by everyone in the family... and we all LOVE IT TO BITS!!!!


True, this is not the sexiest sponsored item I've received. But it is indeed very very useful and practical. It has truly won me and the family over.


Here's why:

1) Clean, filtered water

Remember just now when I said water is just plain water... Well, that's not correct. There are many different grades of water.

I have said just now that I always drink water directly from the tap. I may have no qualms about risking my health, but I most certainly refuse to subject my toddler to the same.

That meant that if I needed to fill up Dash's water bottle for the day, I had to first boil water then put the water somewhere for it to cool. It wastes both time and space.

Now, I can let him have safe and clean water directly from the 3M Table Top Dispenser because it dispenses room temperature water! I can make his milk and fill his cup during meal times with water I know is safe for him!

Using 3M miniaturization technology in the 3M AP2-G filter,

- chlorine taste and odour,
- lead and volatile organic compounds which are believed to lead to health risks
- sediments as fine as 0.5 mircons
- 99.95% of Protozoan cysts (not quite sure what this is but it sounds bad)

all of the above are gone from the tap water I would otherwise be drinking.

The 3M Table Top Dispenser is the ONLY dispenser in the market that is BPA free! 

Most parents won't let their babies drink out of milk bottles that aren't BPA-free, so if you are intending to buy a dispenser for child-use, take note of this!

Additionally, the 3M Table Top Dispenser comes with an ultra violet light system that sterilises the filtered water by 99.99%, removing pathogenic bacteria.

It is also very easy to change the filter, there is no need to service the machine.

You may be surprised to learn this because 3M is known for stationary... But they do have 75 years of filtration experience!!!

2) Cold water, immediately whenever I want it

The 3M Table Top Dispenser dispensing cold water. It is immediate and very cold!!

The husband and I are both fans of ice cold water. Before the 3M Table Top Dispensercame into my life, Mike used to get his cold water from a filtered jug.

He doesn't like drinking tap water straight from the tap, so he fills up this big jug with a filter on it, then he puts it in the fridge.

I USED TO HATE THAT JUG.

It takes up so much valuable fridge space. It is also too heavy for me to carry properly, so when I try to pour water out of it I always spill. It also makes Mike mad if he finds his jug empty, which meant that out of courtesy I should refill the stupid jug if I drink out of it. Seriously, it's way too heavy and cumbersome for me to do that, so I rather just leave him to his jug. If I'm not utilizing it, all the more it makes me irritated that it is taking up my fridge space.

As a result, I often resort to using ice cubes (also troublesome to refill), or just drinking room temperature water which I don't like as much. This also made me drink less water because when it's not cold it's not as tasty.

BUT CONFETTI BECAUSE NOW MY COLD WATER PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED!!

Now, whenever I want, I can fill my cup with crisp, cold, clean filtered water, and drink to my heart's content.

We have thrown away that irritating jug. The husband cannot stop praising the 3M Table Top Dispenser, and every guest that comes to my house loves it. Some have even remarked that the cold water is just the right amount of cold and wanted to get their own.

I use the cold function every single day.

See the blue button there with the water droplet? Simply press it and out comes filtered room temperature water instead if cold is not your thing.

3) Hot water

Want to make a cup of coffee?

First press this button, and wait just 1 or 2 mins for the water to boil.

And voila! You have boiling hot water! To be extra safe, you have to first press the hot button then press the black rectangle that's behind the cup for hot water to come out. This is to prevent children from any mishaps.

The hot water function is also very useful for my family as Mike, my mom and my helper all drink coffee. A bit of hot water is needed for Dash's milk as well.

I really really wish I had the 3M Table Top Dispenser earlier! All those times I had to warm water in the microwave to make a water bath to warm up breast milk... This would have made my life so much easier!

Oh and I finally threw away the hazardous kettle. YAY!!!

************************

In short, I would like to give the 3M Hot, Cold and Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser 5 stars out of 5.

It is easily one of the most useful appliance I have at home, and everybody in the family LOVES it.

In Singapore's hot weather, I always feel so grateful whenever I get home from bringing Dash out to the sweltering park and I can immediately get myself a glass of ice cold water... FUSS FREE.
