first time waxxxing!

Monday, July 25th, 2011
for a girl as conservative as myself, (yes I probably don’t look like it T_T) I actually found it difficult to like, perhaps expose myself to others. going to the sauna in Korea naked was the most daring thing I did. but as soon as I stripped, the bathing place closed. so. well. D=.
I had no knowledge on waxing because I’ve always portrayed it to be a “painful” experience. and the worst is, if you wax the more “shyshy” areas you’d probably feel awkward. Mandy asked me if I would like to try it a while ago and I thought, why not? I’ll have to grow up someday. *sniff*

WAXXX.me, located at the Aman Suria’s shoplots (alliance bank on the left side, a few shops away) sure does have many car parks available. it wasn’t difficult to find as it’s actually facing the main road!

don’t you just love the WAXXX logo? it’s so pretty. and guess what? it’s designed by the owner of the shop!!

initially, I thought that brazilian/hollywood waxing was perhaps a full body waxing with er.. brazilian/hollywood style waxing? but it turned out to be… waxing.. your sensitive area. it’s embarrassing to say, but I have never heard of it before. T_T.

but to my surprise, it’s actually a really normal thing to do! in fact, there’s actually quite a number of people whom are doing it monthly as it’s much more hygienic. weird, I know. I would try if I had the chance but it was just the time of the month. =D. many of us, in fact, did hollywood waxing for the first time! (all of them did hollywood. except me.) and they all said “it feels so good!”

also, WAXXX SPECIALIZES in brazilian and hollywood waxing + permanent hair reduction! there are actually many salons who does it. but really, how many of them are well trained/ professionals? so I guess it’s always safer to visit the professionals. not only do they hurt less, they’d prevent you from experiencing the most unimaginable situations =P.

little did I know, there is MANZILLIAN waxing as well.

the reaction of Jon when the brave Sam Insanity went first for his hollywood waxing. he was actually really shy on revealing his “sensitive part” to another man because it seemed.. awkward. but well, the therapist probably saw too many to remember anyway.

IMG_1631

both Jon and Sam came out fine. feeling much more refreshed! =D. no they did not walk like a penguin. haha. and the guy in the black shirt with the moustache is the owner of WAXXX! do you recognize him? there was a billboard somewhere to PJ where a guy proposed? well, that macho man is our friend here! his proposal to his wife is probably THE MOST romantic proposal in Malaysian history. you can read about it here on Linora’s blog. *sniffs* more points to why you should visit WAXXX!

IMG_1607

honestly, I was pretty afraid even if it was waxing just my legs. T_T. I had my underarm done too  but no I am not taking a picture it’s weird.

the chic interior of the shop! the ambience of the shop is really good with the hip and trendy music and all! and the interior is designed by the owner as well! awesome much?

very clean room. sterilized with hospital grade disinfectant!

and also if you are wondering if they have products sold. I am glad to say, YES THEY DO! relevant stuff like moisturizer, ingrown hair solution and lightening gel (for the sensitive ares! =D)

IMG_1629

Mandy commented that my legs were literally shining when I walked out of the room. and guess what? IT DID NOT HURT AT ALL. sometimes it’s the mentality that brought me to become scared of it. but really, mark my word because waxing is not painful when it’s done with trained and experienced professionals! also, my legs feel soft and moisturized too!

and do not think waxing is fast and easy. it takes pretty long. like half an hour for full leg? but it’s alright because the therapists are really friendly =D.

IMG_1643

but I really have to say, WAXXX is as affordable as it is as their services starts from as low as RM9.00! and the awesomeness when it’s new? there’s 40% discount currently! now isn’t that a good bargain?

extra reasons on why WAXXX should be your choice?

1. waxes and accessories fully imported from Australia.

2. they uses the Depilar System, a new method of permanent hair reduction (and WAXXX is the FIRST and ONLY salon in M’sia)

3. NEVER DOUBLE DIP (every spatula is thrown away after every use!)

all of us! satisfied!

Liese/Prettia Bubble Hair Colour Dye Hype. Milk Tea Brown.

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

hello. have you noticed there’s this hype going around on this dye stuff brand, Liese (Prettia in Japan)? not only among girls. but guys too. I have STRONG hair and whatever dye stuff I use barely get into my hair. I was told that Liese has very strong effects and so the first time, I bought Marshmallow brown.

IMG_1262

where this happened under normal sunlight. it looked like. natural brown. there was only a very slight difference. for RM38 a box, it’s pretty much a rip off because it didn’t change the colour much but instead my hair got a little dry. but the truth is, I have super black hair which is a bit reddish when under the sun. I’ve always envied girls with brown hair. well, the grass is always greener on the other side. I felt that brown hair makes an asian look more.. fashionable. more in-trend.

IMG_1263

so the SECOND TIME, I went to the lady promoter and told her I want the lightest colour you have. and there, MILK TEA BROWN.

IMG_1265

for a girl with hair as thick as mine, I’d said it’s not bad. (I’ve tried dye from Amway, didn’t work for me as well FML. but it doesn’t make my hair dry.) right after washing your hair after the dye is a bit scary.. my hair felt.. so rough. but after conditioning it. it’s only slightly dryer from usual =).

IMG_1272

always much more obvious under the sunlight.

at least my hair colour looks a little lighter! YAY!

CNY so farrrrrrr

been to only ONE of my friend’s house to really pai nin.

went out EVERYDAY.

spent FOUR days in Genting.

not so great because it was really cold but I spent most of my precious new year time with Sophie Kinsella’s Twenties Girl. which is really really good. ever as hilarious. =D.

overexposure is a way to get rid of imperfections =D. also a step nearer to korean style selkka! =P.

the cute set of attire I got from Hong Kong which actually look a little too much for Malaysia =X. a little lala, perhaps? I still love it anyway. even if it’s lala it’ll be the nice lala. not the hideous lala. haha!

and I made the hairband. out of a bare hairband and a long ribbon. haha!

my beloved sister <3. she have lips ticker than Amber Chia. she had taken a picture with her before, and YES, my sis’s lips are REALLY thicker, the lower lip. hah!  I still don’t understand how people think we look alike.

what happens when mist meets fireworks. haha. the year before was worst, couldn’t see a thing. just flashes of red/blue/green clouds. =X. this year was pretty clear, the mist was only for a few seconds =D.

family’s reunion dinner at chor yat! at Imperial Rama, Genting. one of the best Thai food in Malaysia IMO. you MUST try their sour and spicy siakap fish. <3. it’s the best one I’ve tried so far.

my rare childhood friend! =D. I only have 5. all males, surprisingly. he’s taking his PhD and is very tall and is very handsome and is really nice. life is not fair sometimes. >=(.

ME! making TEA! =D. the CHINESE WAY. yes I’ve got some skills /gg. okay fine, my skills are those which er, you see it once and you’ll know how to do it. =X.

and Jacky’s one of my guinea pigs haha. because it’s my first time using the latest.. teapot that doesn’t even look like a teapot. it’s cylinder in shape. well some friends came over to pai nin as well. =D. shall have more pai nins! =3.

my first attempt to using acrylic paint on my nails. will never do it again. took me 10 minutes to get them off. and tonnes of cotton.

my new simple CNY design =D! looks nicer real life. the gold is MORE gold and, much more glittery =D.

 

my aim to lose weight. or should I say, fats.

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

HOKAY, so, since I am always such a slacker and I have not been doing sports my whole life. and also since I skip school for almost everyday during the last two months before my exams, I missed a whole lot of tangga(stairs) climbing and my cardio got even worst. and so I should REALLY do something about my rapid weight gain.

I do have a ridiculous number of bad habits that have something to do with EATING.

firstly, I eat when I am stressed.
I also eat when I am sad. loads of chocos and ice cream.
I eat just so I am awake too during exams.
I eat just because I like food lah okay.

then, I don’t play any sports. the most I can do is swim and jog, which I am pretty lazy to do so. I have no stamina and whatsoever. and after my exams I am pretty much of a free bird, I don’t shop but I kind of sit in the car a lot, get to a destination and eat. which obviously, adds more flabs to my arms.

so here’s my new plan, learning badminton. but I heard it won’t help me lose a lot of weight though T_T. whatever it is, it’s a good option because other people motivates me to do it T^T.

my baby steps to badminton wth sounds wrong. ugh I am too old for that =’(. never too old to learn no? *puffs*.

and it is always good to have 5 people for badminton. because, when one gets bored another can take over =D!

and we have one REALLY tired member. who literally gets happy imitating playboy magazine’s poses.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I couldn’t stop laughing looking at his poses. sorry I covered his obscene face, it is just too obscene for the kids. =P. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. you imagine his face aite? =D.

actually we went mountain hiking too HAHAHA. I know it is crazy to do both at once, but it is pretty fun =P.

and after every tiring day, a happy meal is required.

Jen Chung’s Birthday =D. I really like this picture. don’t know why. but it gives a blissful feeling xD.

B&W is becoming an addiction. =P.

there are more pictures, at somebody else’s camera =D.

konad nail art

I.. chipped my other nail colour again. gold glitter french tip with black konad designs =P. love it.

good night =D.

Rotting.

Jia Jun’s Birthday! =D. and that is Gabriel in red.

they had a lot of throwing-into-the-pool after dinner hahaha lucky I’m a girl teehee. ALL the guys got thrown in. =X.

Jay Chou’s voice in action! and in my opinion, he is better than Jay Chou when he first debuted *okay I better hide away from the Jay Chou’s fans!*

damn powerful his voice I’d fully support him to join those singing competitions! the getting into final percentage is almost 100%.

Mr. HowSmallEyes. ^__^. I look so bald. oh noes I am too young to face baldness no?! T__T.

the birthday boy! =D. Happy 24th Birthday! and no, being 24 isn’t old >=).

Vern Li =D. she’s very nice and funny hahaha. and probably the only girl who doesn’t camwhore. very cute xD.

and is my hair REALLY still TOO LONG? I cut 6 inches ALREADY! =/.

CREAM CHEESE CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES! the quality’s pretty bad I used my phone. HAHAHA. was lazy to charge my no-battery camera at that time.

Yee Jin (and my sister, and mother too!) commented that it is delicious so you better believe I can cook. =P.

it’s chilled cheese cake by the way =D. the easiest of the kind hehe.

NEVER buy your ingredients from a supermarket. T_T. gelatine costs 2bucks more expensive. others, go find out yourself. buy from those kedai runcit (small grocery shops) please hehehe.

konad nail art
