Caboki - Amazing Hair Loss Concealer Video. "Grow" Hair in Seconds
Wow. I must admit that this is the first time I have seen such a product. This is a hair loss concealer powder. It does not stop hair loss or promote hair growth. What it does is conceal hair loss. It is akin to mascara except that it is used on the head. So one needs to have some hair left for this to work. Watching the video, I must say that I am pretty impressed at the results. This looks like an effective hair loss concealer especially for those with balding spots.

Marina Bay Sands Wedding
Marina Bay Sands is huge. Especially their convention centre where all the ballrooms are located. It is no wonder that many people have been having their weddings at Marina Bay Sands. Well, it seems that based on their wedding package, there are various options for a Chinese wedding banquet. The prices don't come cheap though and start from $1088+ per table to $1388+ per table (depending on the choice of dishes).
So if you are attending a wedding dinner there, you know the "market rate" to give. Simply divide the price by 10 and don't forget that the price does not include service charge and GST.
In terms of location, I think Marina Bay Sands is great. Ample parking spaces and also easily accessible by MRT. Complimentary parking tickets are usually given out.
The view is also stunning though it is not observable from the ballrooms itself. One will have to walk out to see the view. Furthermore, people can sneak out for a short break or even to go shopping if they want to!
Food-wise, I will rate it as above average. The food is good but I won't say that it is spectacular or anything. It is of a reasonable standards.
The service is average or even below average. Nowadays, it is really difficult to find good service in Singapore.

Treat Hair Loss with Onion?
Okay, I was searching the internet about natural treatments for hair loss when I came across this short video that claims one can use onions to treat hair loss. I wonder whether anyone has ever tried this before. Won't you stink if you rub onion on your scalp. Not for the faint hearted definitely.
Another video here also shows a DIY hair loss treatment using onions too. If anyone ever tries this and it works, do let all of us know. I am sure those of us who are balding or losing hair will gladly give it a shot.

Dividends for May 2013
Phew! It has been some time since I last wrote. Was too busy and just could not find the time to sit down and pen anything.
Anyway, dividends received in the month of May 2013 wasn't too bad. This was helped by monthly dividend stocks in my holdings such as Armour Residential REIT (ARR) and GAMCO Global Gold and Natural Resources Trust (GGN). I also received payout from BDCL (a ETN that pays quarterly dividends). The amounts I received is probably close to $200. I am not keeping good records and I might have bank in some cheques that were actually sent to me much earlier in April.
From Singapore shares, I have also collected dividends to a neat tune of $500 exactly. Cool and not bad for a month.
I also bought into Fidelity Asian High Yield Fund through DBS. It is a unit trust that pays out monthly dividends and I can choose to receive the dividends or reinvest it. Received around $7 from this unit trust.
That's all for now.
And guess what? This blog has garnered more than half a million views. Cool eh?
