Massages.






I went for a massage today!!! This is my first back massage ever. My back ache so much that I find it hard to stretch my shoulders properly. This is serious. I felt old... =(((

Free time today before my lil sister finishes her tuition and that stupid Khoo Mata ( my eye specialist) did not open so I followed mum to the place we did facial.
I didn't make an appointment like mum, but trust Mr.Lucky to bring me luck. There's space for me for a massage!!!

We changed into these. What ever they called it. Robes? Does not sound right though.


I took a bath before my massage. Then I followed my therapist to the room.
I shared a room with my mum. Was given a bed and have to put my face over the hole in the bed.

This is the hole I meant. =P


......................................

Treatment in process.

The gua sha is bearable. I enjoyed it but my back became red. The therapist said that redness is due to the toxic in my body. I have redness over shoulders and the lateral sides of the back midline. I assumed that is over the trapezium. 


Next is the massaging. They called it 指压. I felt pain because I have a lot of '气节' ( not sure how it is wrote) or she explained as accumulated toxic. They will cause interupted blood flow if not removed. Yea I'm TOXIC! *evil grin*.


Then she used something that felt like small hot rollers to roll on my back. I have no idea what that thing looked like because my face is over the HOLE and I have my EYES on my face. 
Sorry I'm just being annoying. =D

The 'roller' was filled with herbs that soothes and relaxes the muscles. It was hot but quite nice. 

Hahah. Now I see what the rollers look like here.So small rupanya!

Sorry I don't have photos my process. Partly because I was really naked with only a blanket covering the youknowwhat parts. So I just grabbed all those up there from the net. But its the same company so they are the same as what I did. =)


I finished in about 1 hour. Quite a new experience for me.

But look at my back!!!!
OmgredredredredredRED!!!!
My mum said it won't fade till a few days... 
But it doesn't hurt. Magical isn't it?





Here's the branch in Raja Uda. Opposite the new KFC. 



If you're up for a try, only 39rm for first trial. But only for LADIES. Sorry gentlemen. =)

New baby!!!!

This is something I should update long ago before the Kuala Lumpur post.

Tadaaa...
This is what I've been sticking to lately.
Samsung NX100

I know I know, I said I wanted Ricoh Gx200 before. But thanks to ah girl bestie Swen Khor!!! She is such an expert in introducing me this great baby. 

Its a DSLR!!!

Perfect size Dslr for ladies. I don't want to carry a too-big treasure crate camera out, my neck would hurt. =P

Here are some key specs for those who like the look of it and considering buying a DSLR :-


  • 14.6 Megapixel
  • APS-C Size CMOS Image Sensor
  • 3 inch VGA Screen [AMOLED]
  • ISO 6400 Sensitivity
  • 720p HD Video Recording

For more specs click here and here. =)

The most attracting factor of Samsung NX100 is its i-Function lens.
I was told that since I'm a beginner of dslr's, i-Functions lens is super useful. 
I do find it useful!! I don't have to search for menu options to change to aperture or shutter speed or ISO. 
Watch the magic - 


The smart filter is really fuun!!!!!
Here are some photos I played with :-

Smart filter functions : 
1. vignetting

All these awesome features are done in the camera itself. =)
Special thanks to my fascinating models, you're great!


Ps:/ I still have SO SO much to learn. I'm camera-blind. 
Waiting for free time my sifu to teach me. =p

Where are my readers?

BOO!!!!!
Failed geisha. Hope I've not scared you.
=P

Today was a peaceful day for me. My eyes didn't hurt me as much as yesterday.
So overally I am happy. =)

But when it came to my blog I was quite disappointed. Its true that I wrote blogs to update people around me about my life. People come and go from my blog. But none of them would bother to leave me comments!!

I leave people comments in their posts and chatbox but no one leave theirs in mine.
Why is it so??

I felt like I'm writing this post to BEG for comments or footprints. =(
Is it because you have nothing to say after reading my posts? Are my posts so boring and uninteresting  that no one likes them? Or is it because you don't like me so you'll never visit me again, that explains the coldness? Why is it other bloggers have a row of comments so much that they feel lazy to reply everyone? Why mine have none? Not even one??

I need explainations. Just to know. =)
Sorry if you think I'm self-originated or crazy. I'm not special or attractive enough and I know the fact. Just that I love blogging and hope that at least those who know me or close to me will like my posts. Thanks a lot for reading!!!
I love you all!!

hahahahah.
=D


By the way, McD is never disappointing. 
I'm loving it.

From Kuala Lumpur ♬

*Drums rolling*


Here's the update on our trip to KL last week. Sorry for missing all those lectures for we couldnt arrange a better time for going there after GIT as Chui and Chieng are going to fly 'overseas'..

(This will be a long long post)

Departed on Wednesday midnight from Sungai Petani bus station.
We bought Transnational tickets. Its a VIP bus or what ever you call it.



Aren't VIP bus supposed to be super comfy and made you sleep once you sat in the seats??
I got the LAST two seats where you can't even lie down. We couldn't adjust the seats. grrr...
The seats were an acute angle and me and Chui have to bend our necks the whole journey.
Situpid.
It ended up four of us didnt sleep till we reached Bukit Jalil at 4.30 am.

We all looked really BAD when we reached the hotel. Hoping to get some sleep before we head for crazy shopping.






ALAS.
No check in before noon. We have to wait until 10am the earliest before the staffs can give us our room. =((((

No point to argue. Left our luggage at the hotel and went out to the streets to get some breakfast. KFC is in walking distance.

We saw a prostitute on our way there. A SEX UNIDENTIFIED PROSTITUTE. I think its a 'he' though. 'He' has a voice of a man and called out to some Malay guys when we passed by.
(My hair stands and goosebumps all over.)

I dared not take pictures even though I wanted very much to. I was afraid that 'he' might get angry and start chasing us to be 'his' CUSTOMERS. yuck.

'He' look somehow like this -
( not to mock anybody nor look down on any profession. Just to share something we saw.)




Well, there's something worthmore mentioning about. Kentucky Fried Chicken is the commonest fastfood restaurant in Malaysia. I've been in and out KFC since forever (not that I like the food or what).



This KFC in Chow Kit is the worst restaurant I've visited.
Here's some pictures to show their situation. Why nobody ever complain I don't know.


The red baskets beside are full of bread buns they serve and put together with dirty mop water??



Nobody bothered to pick up the one on the floor.


Empty chilli sauce bottles on display..


Empty display area. Or their purpose really is to display chilli sauce bottles?


Where's the menu?


Dirty scratched place for food and its empty.


Whats the use of the cash machine if you're gonna use a damn calculator??


This is for customers. I wonder how many of them are daring to eat this?


Ugghh.



The worst meal we've ever had. Wifi service sucks too.


Reluctant faces..


Little fly wouldn't fly away..




 Chopper board? Pre historical gifts.


Take photo..-Smile-


 No we failed to smile with such food.




With no wifi. Only entertainment is our ipod games - breeding frogs and zombie farm.. 


The thought of KFC might make us puke, thanks to Chow Kit Kentucky Fried Chicken.



After the devastating meal we walked back to hostel.
Eh, hostel pula. We went back to our HOTEL around 7 - 8am.
Here's pictures of us walking back. =p











Sat in the lobby doing stupid stuff. Chui reporting to her big baby. Us three playing around with the camera. Taking videos in HD. YESH! hahaha. 
I couldnt show the videos here though. Wait till I get their permission.


Us lepak-ing in the lobby.











GOOD NEWS!!! Hotel staffs couldn't stand looking at four young beauties (puking) strolling in the lobby with tired faces and gave us the room key!!!! YAYAYAYAYYY!!!( I was mad with happiness)
It was 8 something in the morning.

Going to our room-----





We screamed and shouted once we entered the hotel room. It was fabulous!! Cheap too!
Two King-sized beds furnished with refrigerator, wardrobe, big big mirror and everything with only 158rm. Not forgetting the great window views.

Credits to Sing's sis - Ching Oon, for suggesting Cititel Express.

Here's our hotel. Day view and night view.




Now to sleep. zzZZ.



Planned to wake up at 10am and when the time came, only Chui woke up. She nearly went mad pulling our sheets and waking us up.
Sorry Chui we are pigs when it comes to beauty sleep. *oink.=D

Finally we did wake up and get ready.
Pictures.













Next.......

SHOPPING!!!!
Pavillion!!! Farenheit 88!!!
Ok well skip the shopping part as we went mad a bit with Swen's 17 + Chieng's 4 Uniqlo vouchers.



Transportation for the day. -Monorail.
The walk from our hotel to Monorail station is 2 minutes away.
Malays along the way were a bit frustrating as they keep looking as you as if they never seen such amazing graceful animals before. Maybe we went a bit too much for wearing those shades. =p

On the Monorail...




Dinner??
Of course JOGOYA!!!! haha.
We walked to Starhill. Only opposite Pavillion la.

Were shocked to see the entrance to Jogoya was filled with people. Is this normal? I don't know, only been here once and this is the second time.



Maybe its because of the half price offer given to ladies every year end??
Yeah, we got half price!!
Only 57++rm per lady. Its really cheap comparing the food we get here and Tao's. But only when half price is available.




After eating back to Pavillion again to see if we missed any shop.
Swen bought Liese which was out of stock in our place.
Casis berry!!!

She couldn't made her mind which colour to get and was scared the colour might come out too red and in the end we have to force a bit. =p

We dyed her hair in the hotel and played with her hair a bit.
Sorry Arman!! =)
And by the time she washed her hair and came out from the bathroom, three pigs were already in the sheets and have to wait till morning to see the results of her hair...

Well that's another story of day 2!! =)

Go to my facebook for more photos..Its a big job uploading them all here.
And stay tune for Day2!!!

peace.
