What I've read in these 2 months

Surprise for those who knew me, and for those who barely know me or do not know me at all … YES, I love reading now. Read me again: YES, I love reading now!! Either I read from an electronic book or a paper book, I must read for few hours before I go to bed. Current totally hooked up with Chick Lit genre. There are some life lessons behind each of the book that makes me think again what I have in my life...

But my addiction was started with the Twilight Saga. Yeah, I’m totally in love with the series. I read it like mad person. I could stay up till 4AM and woke up 1 hour earlier to read a few pages before work.  Well, I admit, I’m crazy. So here are all the books that I’ve read for these 2 months.

Psss: More to come ... Currently reading 3 books...

Adiós Michael Jackson the Legendary King of Pop

Was surprised this morning while I’m on my way to grab my breakfast, I heard over the radio, “…. Michael Jackson was admitted to UCLA and is in coma …” wow didn’t expect to get such news in the early morning. But what really shocked me is when I returned from my quick breakfast, and when I’m on my way to my office, the DJ announced “… Michael Jackson has passed away…” Whutttt? So I switched to the next station “… Michael Jackson the King Pop has passed away …”
Oh My God … I can’t believe this… Just a moment ago, he was in coma, and 10 mins later he is dead? The guy who:-

  1. Famous for his moonwalk
  2. Did incredible dance moves with his ever famous MJ hat … psss: the crotch grabbing moves
  3. Always with very tight tights
  4. Squeals in highest pitch “Aww Aww “
  5. With single sequined glove
  6. Did his then MTV in the 80’s like Bollywood movies now – watch his 80’s MTV …
  7. Jumps up a little on his toe with funny leg position…\\ //
  8. Suddenly turned white

So the next thing to confirm that the news is real, all the three top English radio station is playing Michael Jackson’s song non-stop!!!!

I guess, today must be the day that MJ’s song was played the most in ONE DAY. I wonder will it be recorded in the Guinness World Records?

Hope he is now in a better place … Rest in Peace …
His Music and Legacy will live on Forever ~~

Pssss: I used to be very afraid of MJ when I was little… Remember his ever famous MTV and he looks like a Zombie? Thriller?? I thought he was really turned into a zombie. I just watched back the MTV was laughing out loud when the group of zombies doing funny synchronized dance move aka robotic move...


He will be remembered ... unless YouTube is sucked into the virtual black hole ...poowfff ..

How to prevent gaining weight? SLEEP MOOOREEE…. Seriously! Here are the 10 pointers …

Now I have more reason to sleep more than 7 hours a day. Stated in Women’s Health Magazine, -->

“ … women who slept 7 or more hours a night were less likely to put on weight than women who didn't. Those who slept only 6 hours a night were 12 percent more likely to gain substantial weight—33 pounds on average over the course of 16 years! (Women who slept a measly 5 hours had a 32 percent chance of gaining 30 or more pounds.) Other studies have linked lack of sleep to a higher BMI and have found that it negatively affects levels of the appetite-regulating hormones ghrelin and leptin.”

Check out the Diet Roadblocks! “10 surprising reasons why you aren't losing when you should be--and what you can do about it”

Definitely enlighten me especially the very first pointer!

Psss: Chocolate is a very good friend of FAT – I have to keep that at bay..

**Reminding myself to ignore my very best friend, “Ms. Shocolate=(

Strip'ed

Woohooo .. Got my very first Brazillian Wax today... Purposely took half day to do it... lolx ... Why? It's because they are all FULLBOOK'ed on every weekendsssss!!!



Well, actually my mission today is not only for the waxing but also to undergo my very first permanent hair removal @ upper lip area... At first I was so nervous and even the lady who attended me can see that.

Using the laser thingy is just too scary and moreover, that 'zap zap' thing is hot and I can smell something was burning... (*O*) Well I still have 9 more sessions to go... hopefully my little moustache will be gone by end of the year...

After the 'zap zap' session, I'm on for the waxing session... Then again, I was so nervous about the pain that's coming for me... Luckily the lady who is attending me is very friendly... Of course at first I was so embarrass as I was practically half naked in there. HeeHee... So the wax was hot, but bearable ... not until the first "ZZZAAAP" took place. As the lady told me it gets better after two or three rounds... She is right, it's not that painful then...


I feel great now... heehee... and ohh ... I had a rectangular one this time ... Shall tried a different one next round (^_^)P

Can you believe it?

Wow .. so today is my first treatment... Never in my life thinking of signing up for a slimming treatment... But well, here I am, not sure what makes me do it... but must be my self-conscious eating me up ... been too chubby for my whole life ... I guess this is the time to make some difference? But another side of me somehow wanted to prove that slimming centres might not be able to help me to loose my extra pounds with the not so expensive course. Which is one of the so-called "Promotion Package". Let's say the worse thing happen ==> my 'extras' are still here, hmmm then I get to question them why and hopefully they will refund =P which I don't think they will ... But hey, at least I have a story to tell... a real story .... (^_^)v

My first impression on the first treatment--> not so friendly ... It's like they will rush you in and rush you out kinda feeling... I thought Marie France are pro and they will provide you good service ... their charges are not cheap thou ... so this is not what I've expected =( Perhaps I didn't pay them well?? Maybe ...

Well first, they will weight me first, then I'll go into a small room and changed. The first treatment will be a cold wrap... I was wrapped up like a mummy... heehee ..It was cold but not freezing... Next was the hand treatment, with a brief lotion massage and dip into a wax kinda thingy and they gave me a plastic bag for me to 'tar pao' my hand ...(those that the mee soup aunty pack your mee soup)... and then I was directed back to the tiny room and wait for 25 mins with my hands in the plastic bag and a magazine, which I find it very inconvenient... I can't flip the god damm pages!!

Next, is the massage treatment... before the treatment, they gave me a "Welcome Massage" on the shoulder. Then goes to my tummy massage for 20 mins... I can tell you it was "PAINFUL" ... i can feel my intestinal all moving left and right ... Even until now while typing this, my tummy area still sore ... wonder will I get 'blue black' by tomorrow... =(

**praying hard it won't happen

So next, they will put scrub then mask then wrap me in a hot blanket for another 20 mins ... It's warm and comfy... I think I fell asleep ... heehee ... but then I don't think I sweat thou ... after everything is done I don't think there is any difference at all ... I hope my 'investment' won't be wasted ... sigh ... Ohh, by the way, this treatment is FOC ... hehee...

But one thing I don't quite understand is during the consultation aka getting me to to pay a bomb, the consultant mentioned that they will take all my body measurement before and after the treatment... but how come this time no one actually doing it? I was like being 'abandon' there ... Especially after finished the treatment, I was sitting at the lounge area for more than 10 mins, and no one actually coming out to greet me or ask how was the treatment ... normally when I go to body spa/massage or even after my facial treatment they will actually sit down with me and do some follow up ... Here I felt 'abandon' ... Perhaps I didn't pay for the most expensive course, so they are not treating me well ... =(

Feel dissappointed... Hope the next one will be a better one ...
