News

Somehow I feel that no matter how good my foot-care regime is, I would still get cracked heels. Is it because I wear high heels too frequently? If you have this same problem, guess what? I've found a place that can help you smoothen out those ugly skin.

Trust me, I have tried getting pedicures from so many places but none could really remove all of them (although Kool Kutz (Bangsar Village II) does excellent job with buffing your toe nails that they continue to shine until they grow out)

So back to cracked heels, you can really get them removed at Green Paradise at First Floor, Ampang Point Shopping Mall. Quick (abt 30 mins), painless and effective.

One catch though.. the 'beautician' (for lack of vocab at 7am in the morning) were very annoying. They thought they were being friendly but can't they tell that me reading magazines means I am not interested to talk? and they will make you sign up for packages and tried selling their other services and products.. come on, do they really have to show that level of desperation? OK, while I am already at it, somehow I feel like most salons in Malaysia apply the same annoying marketing strategy. They might sell - only because the customers are too annoyed and probably willing to spend some money just to make them keep their mouth shut! As a result, that will be a permanent goodbye.

So, if you happen to run a beauty salon and reading my blog, please please please train your staff to be nice, smile (is good), be attentive but please don't be over-friendly - coz you will only repel people like me.. and please don't be too desperate, trying too hard to sell your products.. and if u happen to run hair salon, please don't spoil your customers mood by telling them their is dying, therefore desperate (my word of the day) for the most expensive treatment or else, deal with a bald head for the rest of your lives! Look, we all have mirrors, we can tell if our hair is frizzi-er than a lion's and if we are interested, we'll ask for it ok?

Hmm.. I'm nagging now. Better Stop. Toodles!

Wanna be a princess?

Well.. I'm getting married in less than a month.. so lately I have been trying to figure out what kind of hair-do should I have - veil..? no veil..? tiara..? Few weeks back I thought I was quite certain that a messy side bun with cymbium and a pair of diamond studs would be perfect.. until my mum planted this thoughts in my head that.. I should wear a veil and tiara since this is basically the only time I could pull this off.. right?

So I have been flipping through Hello magazines from my 'archive'.. and my current obsession is the European princesses.. see, those long veil ala princess Diana.. heheh.. As you may have already known by now, I am a bit extreme.. simple means simple all the way and while I am already into this whole princess fairy-tale mood, might as well go all the way, right?? Shouldn't settle for anything in between, no?

Hmm okay, I got side-tracked.. what I actually wanted to share this time is actually lingerie.. soo in the mood of collecting them, for obvious reasons :p I love Princesse Tam Tam.. (since La Perla and Agent Provocateur are obviously out of the equation!).. I just love the pretty lace with matching trimmings and ribbons.. another reason that I love PTT is perhaps their range where unlike the over-rated Victoria Secret that has models that make women who are not very full at the top (*ehem) quite intimidated, PTT's range is more tasteful, modern and very European.

You can find PTT in Blush! stores. The price range is between RM239-RM379 per piece. If you live near Subang Jaya, Point B! in Summit USJ carries them for a permanent slash of 40-50%.. Go Indulge ;)

If only I could turn back time..

1. I would have studied at a uni with a proper campus. Where I studied, it was more of a "cowboy town" where we lived in gated flats with classes located like 2km away.. Nothing exciting

2. I would probably have accepted the offer and scholarship to continue my studies at Uni College London and would still be there until now with an awesome job and a wardrobe full of oh-so-lovely clothes

3. I would have studied Biology instead of Accounting in High School so I could be a doctor and be filthy rich and arrogant.. heheh

4. .. Or studied Geography instead of Chemistry so I could be a rich Oil & Gas Geologist..

IT job sucks. This whole globalization thing is driving me nuts.. Conference calls back to back, 3-4 times a week.. I'm exhausted!

Anyway, my awesome nephew drew this - of me in my wedding dress (with matching boots, blusher and sequins.. heheh) .. say awww people!

Grooming

I soooo need to:
1. Go for hair treatment
2. Get a pedicure
3. Reshape my eyebrow

Checkout this couple.. super sexy duo.. guess I need to start planning my honeymoon outfit.. cowboy hat, aviators, some beach cover-ups, pair of Havaianas..

FIVE weeks to go!

Buttons

It's a weird combination but we have come a long long way. Things may have not been as smooth as we hoped for and we have both done every possible thing to screw things up but we are still together, in fact stronger than ever.

Happy Birthday F!

Step it up

Dancing makes me feel good, really good. Last few weeks were a bit rough, I can't believe I got bugged by this little maggot but lucky some friends came to the rescue and put some sense to my head.

p/s: you're makin me high
