Working Out

November 22nd, 2009 · 1 Surrendered

I went to get my sports shoes because of this… The working out session of tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt.

We were supposed to be at Level Up at 10.30am and I was slightly late. Luckily I’m not the latest ;p.

Before working out, we didn’t forget about camwhoring.

It was embarrassing session for me. -.-” I almost fainted towards the end of the BodyPump session and I had to take time out for a while before continuing. If I did faint, I guess I’ll be the first person to workout until fainted at Level Up *LOL*

Besides that, this is the first time I experienced such spell. Mind you, I’ve never faint before. Towards the end of BodyCombat, I felt like I wanted to vomit and couldn’t really breath. I did BodyCombat before for 1 hour during the grand opening of the gym and it was a piece of cake for me but I have no idea why I’m like that just now.

When we started BodyPump, I started to feel a bit giddy but I ignored it. Then suddenly I felt like everything was spinning for a while, then I got blurred vision. Not long later, everything started to look like a photo that is over exposed. I immediately stopped and went to the corner to rest.

It’s was really really embarrassing -.- I think this will be in the video coz while I’m trying to get myself back into one piece, the videographer pointed his camera at me hahaha… I was asked by some whether I’m OK or not and I said that I’m not hahaha… I sat there, rested for a while, got myself together and joined the session again, it was almost the end already too.

What an experience. Luckily nothing happen. I suspect that it might be due to my allergy attack yesterday and I wasn’t fully recovered this morning as my nose still felt a bit itchy, my throat was a bit dried, and still have a bit of headache. However, after the session, I didn’t feel all those anymore.

I had problem following the instructor today. It’s a different instructor. This is my second time doing it and I still couldn’t get my coordination together. I did better the first time, today wasn’t good.

Many complain of having sore legs and so on but not me ;p Even in previous workouts at the gym, I didn’t have any problem with soreness even though I didn’t do any proper work out for years.

Anyway, it was fun ;) We all went for lunch after that.

It’s PINK!!

November 21st, 2009 · 1 Surrendered

My sports shoes gave up on me when I went for HfH project last year. Since then, I never bother to get one as I seldom wear them and I don’t need them.

Then, recently I went to the gym few times but still didn’t bother to get a pair as I don’t see that I will be going again in near future *LOL* There’s free gym membership for me to redeem but I’m still not in a hurry to get a pair. Getting one is the last thing in my list.

Now… I HAVE to get one! No more excuse because I need it tomorrow. Decided to stop by Bata after my facial to hunt for my sports shoes. It didn’t take long for me to make my purchase, I just headed to the section, roughly browsed tru’ and ended up with a pink+grey sports shoes!

Crazy me! Of all the colours, I ended up with a pink one! I don’t like pink yet I got pink. In fact, I didn’t bother about the colour, I was some sort of colour blind that time and just grabbed whatever in front of me without thinking. Even when trying, I didn’t bother about the colour, all I bothered was whether it’s too big or too small for me *LOL* Only when I reached home, I scrutinized the shoes and realized that it’s PINK! Holy Molly! It’s PINK!

I spent RM50 for this pair. Actually it’s RM49.99, that’s the cheapest I could find there ;p

I De Beauty Aromessence Facial Treatment

November 20th, 2009 · 3 surrendered

I know this post is long but do read it as I will have something for you at the end of the post ;p

Remember I went to have my first ever full course facial 2 weeks ago? I won it from the contest conducted by Borneon.com. Then not long after that, they contacted me to write about it in my blog by giving me the chance to do it again. So in other words, I went for Aromessence Facial Treatment that worths RM250/session twice! One as a contest winner, another one as a blogger. I’m so lucky ;p


This treatment is available at I De Beauty. It’s located at Jalan Tabuan. Near Chung Hua Primary School No.1, you know the ex-Mayfair? If you are standing at Teochew Association, just look to the row of shops opposite on your left and you can see it.

I know… RM250/session is EXPENSIVE! Impossible can do it so often. Tell you what, this is not normal facial, it comes together with 10 minutes back massage and also upper body massage, whole session takes more or less 2 hours. They are using products from Decleor from Paris. Veribel products are available too but this is for different package.

I had tried it twice. They’re good! Great for relaxation. I have better sleeps ever since I had this treatment. As for my face, I found it easier to apply makeup and my skincare products absorb better too.

I don’t quite remember the steps of the facial treatment as I was half asleep and just relax my mind from thinking about anything but it’s roughly like this:

Consultation -> back massage -> cleanse the face -> apply a type of mask to soften the blackheads and whiteheads(they don’t use steamer here) -> extraction of blackheads and whiteheads -> trim eyebrows -> upper body massage(back, chest, shoulder, face and head) -> mask(face, eyes, lips) -> tone and moisturize -> consultation with a cup of tea -> DONE!

With the promotion now, you can do it more often. I had already signed up for the RM599 package which is originally priced at RM2500 for 10 sessions. Currently they are having promotion. Only RM599 for 10 sessions. In other words, it’s only RM59.90/session. That’s so affordable!

You can compare it with the usual facial you get elsewhere. This is more worth it. I’m sure you don’t get massage with the usual facial package that costs almost the same price.

You can also opt for RM399 for 5 sessions. There is no deadline in completing the whole package. Remember that this is November promotion. Quickly grab it before it’s too late.

You know what? Christmas is around the corner. Why don’t you take this opportunity to get this package as a gift for your loved ones?

By the way, this treatment is suitable for women and men. They welcome men to do facial treatment too.

They also have various types of beauty treatments for your face and/or body. If you want to sign up for the said package or want to know more about this facial treatment, just contact I De Beauty (you can tell them you find out about it from my blog):
I De Beauty
Lot 119 & 120, Section 33, KTLD,
Jalan Tabuan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak.
Tel: 082-233771 / 236771
Fax: 082-245098
Email: idebeauty@gmail.com

Done reading? ;p

I have two vouchers for Aromessence Facial Treatment worth RM250 to giveaway to two readers(only for those located in Kuching). I will have the contest in few days time and it’s related to this post. Stay tuned!

The “Children” Artworks

November 18th, 2009 · 2 surrendered

I had presentation yesterday along with the full-time students. If you don’t know yet, actually I’ve been going to class every Tuesday morning joining the full-time class students. I do not have classes to attend on Saturdays but I still have classes to attend on Sunday. It’s a good thing I don’t have classes on Saturdays, it’s a blessing in disguise. I used to complain about it but now I’m glad there’s not classes on Saturdays else I will have to pull out of The Ambassador Hunt ;p

Anyway, back to our presentation. These are art and craft activities that my group proposed and our “children” aka classmates did these artworks.

Colourful mango and mushroom collage.


See how creative were they? We gave them unwanted catalogs we brought from home for their collage work and they were so creative! Can spot their creativeness? “Children” eh? Hahaha…

Besides that, the following are activities proposed by other groups. We did many art and crafts activities yesterday.

Finger paintings (top), bookmarks (bottom left), and made a big heart by combining all the colourful small hearts that we coloured/designed (bottom right).


Another finger painting but it was to make Christmas card (top), and mask colouring (bottom).

Can you see me? That rabbit is me hahaha… Cute or not ;p

What a Boo Boo

November 17th, 2009 · 4 surrendered

I’m supposed to be updating something but I did some boo boo today and used up most of my time to research to find a way to fix the thing. Sigh…

Anyone looking for KL-KCH-KL Air Asia flight ticket for 25th February – 1st March 2010? I have a return ticket to let go to anyone that is interested. Bought it at RM259, it’s not promo fare, it’s normal fare so name change is allowed. If not mistaken, name change will be charged RM90. So anybody interested? I know it’s expensive but if you are desperate for it, then maybe… However, I wonder who will want?!?!

So this is the boo boo that I made. Sigh… I heard cannot refund but can I ask the bank to cancel the transaction? ;p

Old Time Coffee House

November 16th, 2009 · 2 surrendered

We went to Old Time Coffee House for lunch last Saturday.


It’s located at the ex-Everrise office at Petanak. Very easy to locate actually. It’s somewhere near the small roundabout at Petanak. The only open till 7pm if I’m not mistaken.


Left: Nasi Lemak Special(RM6.90). Not so bad but I still prefer those Malay stall ones ;p

Right: Curry Chicken Mee, this comes in a set. The lunch set is RM5.30(or RM5.80, I don’t remember the price ;p) inclusive of a glass of Ice Teh O or Ice Coffee O.


Left: Lum Mee, also from the lunch set. Better eat this when it’s piping hot, when it’s cold, there’s a kind of smell. It’s edible, nothing wrong with it. It’s just the kind of smell that we didn’t like, not our taste. Quite big bowl.

Right: Curry Chicken Rice. This is also from the lunch set. The rice was the same rice as the nasi lemak. The curry was the same as the one in the mee. Nothing much to rave about. Curry was just curry.

If you notice, each of the dish with curry came with drumstick? The meat is quite tender.

I think it’s a great place for breakfast but if you are expecting something more for lunch, then you won’t get much choices.

By the way, many people mistaken this place as Old Town. It’s actually Old Time. -.-” Well… I’m one of them.

p/s: supposed to be “Coffee House” but in the picture I used “Kopitiam”, lazy to change ;p

SHOO!

November 15th, 2009 · 2 surrendered

Do I look like I’m in a relationship to you?
Do I look like I’m not in a relationship to you?
Do I look like I’m desperate for a guy to love?
(Ok… I know the questions sound weird ;p it’s meant to be like that as there’s no answer there at all)

GAH! What’s wrong with you people? Leave me alone will you! Whatever my status is, it got nothing to do with you. Damn… The magnet is seriously pointing to the wrong directions and attracting some “flies”. I don’t need all these “flies”. I only want to concentrate on what I want to achieve. You “flies” are not helping but freaking annoying.

Shoo! Go play far far!

I wish I can update more today but I’m so tired and sleepy. Been occupied by some stuffs and didn’t have time to edit the pictures I’m supposed to be editing.

Good night everyone.

Facebook Games (2)

November 14th, 2009 · 4 surrendered

Remember the previous post about Facebook games? I found more new games and have been playing daily. Just to kill my boredom and need to relax my mind after all those stress. I prefer games that don’t need to use much time. All I need is go in to maintain after a period of time. I don’t like games that need you to be in front of the computer to be able to play, it’s too much work.

Let’s talk about games developed by Zynga.
I’m currently very into Cafe World. Cook, cook, cook and level up. Of all the Zynga games, this is the one I like most. Easy to level up and easy to earn money. Of all the games, this is the game I have the highest level.

I hope they don’t make some stupid upgrade that kill the fun just like in the other game that I will share later.

Next, it’s Farmville, been playing it for quite a while but I got a bit bored with it now. It’s getting hard to level up. Harvesting the crops takes so much time especially when you have a big farm. After harvesting, you need to plow the land again, then plant again. Really takes up lots of time. Even with the machines now, it doesn’t help much because the fuel is limited and you can only buy them with hard cold cash instead of the coins you earn in the game.

There’s animals to tend to also and harvesting their produces one by one is really time consuming. The trees too, so time consuming. I used to level up very fast but now I’m slowing down. Too much time needed for this game.

Fishville is the latest game from Zynga. Not really my kind of game coz I need to feed the fish. Still I’m playing it just to see how fast this game can level up and earn coins. I don’t like the colours, pretty dull. This game has not hang my system yet but just like any other Zynga games, sooner or later it will.

One last Zynga game that I’m not really playing, Roller Coaster Kingdom. I used to like it a lot until they implement some stupid upgrades that got so many players angry and quit the game. Used to be able to earn fast and level up fast but now, it takes ages! It was as simple as opening your park and people just pouring in automatically.

Now, you get one big park with nobody in there. You have to book rides for people to visit your theme park, it’s not free summore, you have to spend coins to get people to come. Even with the booking system, visitors that come to your park are so little and you got one huge park with so little visitors and spending so little money that can’t even cover the new rides/stalls that you build or even cover the cost of booking the rides.

For this game, I only log in to receive daily gift(if I’m in the mood), put in new rides if people send a ride to me, activate the visitors if people send visitors to me, and receive coins if people send to me. That’s all. Since I started playing it during the early stage, I had made lots of coins and leveling up but for new players, I really pity them. I wonder when will they be able to get such money to expand their parks. Everything is priced so high too.

This game hangs the hell out of my system. The worst one. This is also the worst game of all.

There are many fun games in Zynga but what I don’t like about Zynga games is that they hang my system a lot which is why after maintaining whatever the games needed, I will log out of the games. I won’t leave them open.

Enough of Zynga games. Let’s go to other games.
Fish a Fish is also a game I seldom play. I started playing it out of curiosity then I got bored of it. When my sister was back in Kuching, she’s the one playing this game using my account ;p Since she’s not here now, the game is going no where. I log in daily just to get the daily prize. Sometimes I’ll play it but will just fish a fish or two. This game is boring and it requires on the spot interactions which is time consuming.

Lastly, it’s Country Story by Big Fish. Big Fish is always known for its cute graphic. The graphic is cute and nice but I don’t quite like the game. Very time consuming to play but I do log in almost everyday. It’s hard to earn money unless you go to visit your neighbours and do many tasks. It’s time consuming, it needs interactions from you. However, there are also tasks such as planting crops and feeding the animals. You can just leave them and come back when it’s time to harvest.

That’s all about the games I’m playing. Actually there are few more but I’ll talk about them some other time.

How about you? Which game you like most? Which game you hate most?

Questions, Questions

November 13th, 2009 · 7 surrendered

Actually I have something to update but a bit lazy to prepare the pictures for the post. Notice that I’ve been posting quite a number of randomness posts lately? Well… One thing is that I’m running out of idea on what to blog, I had cleared my food posts already ;p Another thing is that I’m really random these days.

Anyway, everywhere I go, everyone I meet, or even when friends catching up online, I will get some common questions from everyone besides the usual “how are you?”.

These are the popular ones:
Q1. How’s business?
A1. Ok, ok la… (If give other answers there will be more questions following it and I hate to answer those questions)

Q2. Do you have boyfriend now?
A1. Yes/No (Depending on who is asking it *LOL* That’s because I don’t see the point to answer it, it won’t affect anyone whether I’m single or not unless to those that trying to go after me ;p. Whichever answer I’m giving, there are surely other questions about it that will follow. So… What’s the actual answer? I’m not going to tell you, the time will come, just not now.)

I’m very very vague these days especially when people ask me about my personal and work life. Not even my close friends know what is going on with my life now. I’ve been pretty much isolating myself from many people for quite a while coz I need space, lots and lots of it. They only know a bit here and there, no one knows the whole story except one person. This one person knows everything, every single bit but no one knows who this person is. As if I’m going to tell you who? Hahaha…

Besides questions from people, I am asking myself a lot of questions too. I’m sure there’s always this stage in a person’s life and I’m in this stage now. I guess…

I have the answers to most of them but these answers cannot be made known now, when the time is right, you will know. If it’s made known now, I can assure you that it’s going to cause a stir to those around me. It took me almost one year to come out with the answers. Even though I have the answers, I still have to make sure it’s possible to make them into reality. There are too many factors that I have to take into considerations. Only when the time is nearer it can be definite but at least I have something to look forward to now and know what I want.

You can say that I should make them known earlier so that there’s time to handle the mess that I will put many people into but I choose not to coz I’ll be escaping to the nearest exit by then and leave all the mess behind for others to settle! Joking ;p Well… There is no point to create panic now since there is no definite answer yet but when it’s certain then things will be happening very quickly coz there will be no time to wait. See how contradicting and complicated this whole thing is? *LOL* That’s why careful handling is very important but I wonder is this post causing some panic already ;p

As for those questions that I’m still looking for answers, they are mostly related to another party. As you know… You cannot clap with just one hand. There’s still lots of question marks. I hope there will be answers to them soon but I’m not sure how soon.

This is how vague I am nowadays. Stop trying to dig further into me, you won’t get anything out of me. If you keep on doing so, you will only annoy me and I will distant myself from you.

Time to sleep! Nitey!
