Young Hearts Workshop

This was due two weeks ago but I was so busy every weekend doing stuffs so while waiting for my feet to soak up the foot mask essence, I decided to write the entry :D;; As you guys know, I posted about the Young Hearts workshop a while back so I dragged Swing as my partner-in-suffering.

Reached on the dot!

Singing Our Spirit Out

Well... wanted to write up about the Young Hearts Workshop but I have last minute stuff arranged next morning so here's a quick update about last weekend :D. Silvy's been poisoning her wall with DIB posts and I'm finally hooked! Went to visit the place last weekend as DIB started a Customers Sing Along night every Saturday. The cafe has a very unique concept which I'll explain in another post cuz I don't have sufficient pictures T3T.

Met up with Silvy~ :D

What you get when you order brewed coffee :D 

I was panicking the whole week since we were suppose to bring our own song sheets and chords. I was so worried since I couldn't estimate what kind of crown would be there and what kind of songs they will enjoy @_@ Heck could be Eagles or Westlife or maybe.... BIEBER! Thank god DIB's owner, Mr Allan Teh prepared some songs and chords for us!!! 

Here's Hito jiwang to BSB's I Want It That Way XD

Jared also sang. ahhh look at the bromance between them! *_*

Us 3 girls~ <3

Achievement unlocked for the night! XD Everyone who sang that night got a DIB's VIP card :D

This year I've been buying a couple of Japanese books T3T. After I bought the Saiyuki Character Book Sanzo x Goku, I dropped by again to get Shinpuri's Official Anime Visual Book. ahh my wallet it criesssss. 

RM83 T__T

Feels worth it though since it's 80 pages of full color. There's illustrations and also player list in the U-17 camp X3. Next book I'm looking forward to get is Saiyuki's Salty Dog VII. So sad the cover is Gojyo and Goku..... but I'm looking forward to the contents heehehehe saw some pretty nice illustrations of Sanzo <3.

illy Coffee Workshop

Firstly, gotta thank Silvy for having me along for the coffee workshop *_*. She scored invites from TimeOutKL. The workshop was held last week at their HQ Università del Caffé della Malesia
in Phileo Damansara.

Reached there on time but had trouble with the parking. The visitor's basement parking is scary!! and with crime happening just about every corner, I just parked outside nearby the payment office. It rained that morning so I was one of the early birds XD

The class room environment. Very spacious :3 for a class of 10

Young Hearts Bra Fitting Workshop

PS: Sorry for the typo at the title T_T

Just sharing some news of one of my favorite brands. Young Hearts is having a bra fitting work shop at their Tropicana boutique. I love fitting workshops as they help me learn more about the sizing for a brand. Different lingerie brands have different sizing which makes it damn confusing... geez... wonder why can't they come up with a one-only International size ~_~;; I could be a B75 at Sloggi and yet in Xixilli I wear a D75 wtf.... 2 cups difference. Moving on to the details of the workshop!

Click on the image for more info! :D

I own a few Young Hearts pieces myself and they're really comfortable and have really cute patterns yet so simple :3 Price is VERY affordable too <3. You can check on their latest collections at their website: Young Hearts Lingerie 

For those who are going, seeya guys there!!! (if I have no plans forced onto me lol)

PS: Did you know, this is the company that brings in Sorella, Minoshe and Pierre Cardin? :D

Achievements Unlocked!

Yay! Got a bunch of good news and achievements rolling in this week, some I can't tell yet but I'd really like to scream happily about some things over here so bear with me! :D

1. 15 July 2012 - Yay for Retainers!
My braces for the top row of my teeth came off and I got my first set of retainers! :D

Clear retainers :D looks like Invisalign braces doesn't it? XD

The dentist gave me these Clear Retainers rather than the standard retainers since I've got a sensitive gag reflex. Oh they had such a hard time trying to force the mold in my mouth even with the smallest size. I was gagging and even vomited once then they gave up and called the boss to do it lolz. 

The good thing about having these Clear Retainers is that I only have to wear them at night instead of the whole day for the next 6 months :3. The bad part is, I still get a slight gag reflex whenever my tongue touches the end of the retainers. So normally I start wearing it after my bath and don't talk to anyone lol. Even drinking water is a problem for me, I have to remove it first before drinking XD;; 

2. 16 July 2012 - 100th Workout Achieved :D

Finally achieved my 100th workout at gym after 1 year orz lazy me. I was absent for at least 2 whole months. One was because of work and the other was for a knee injury TwT but dammit it feels so good achieving 100 now! >A</

My 'medal' :D

----------

Also after talking to a few people in the last 2 days, I think I accidentally set another goal for myself XD;;

Click on the link for more details on the race!

Oh yes I accidentally agreed to run my first 10km on my birthday lolol. There's no reason to avoid unless it's me end up working late the day before but highly unlikely OAO;; So yes... I gotta start training soon! :3. You can join the race to watch me pass out 8D

Facial @ Kanebo, Starhill

I normally don't buy facials from deal sites since they're mostly at smaller salons that I'm not familiar with and my face being super sensitive, I'm not ready to go through another round of cystic acne again. Saw this deal on Groupon and it's too hard to pass up! *_*b One being that it's Kanebo and two, I get to do the facial at the Starhill branch hohohoho a place that I've been dying to go~ :D Thank you Groupon for answering my prayers!!! heheheheh XD

The deal on Groupon

Better than what I wanted since I know the basic facial is about RM98 :D.

Took a picture of the front before my appointment!

Was brought here for a foot soak after filling out my details~ The water was wonderfully warm *_*

After patting my feet dry, I was brought to the treatment room. 

Their rooms are fully well prepared *_* most salons I go to, require us to store our clothes in the lockers placed outside the room. I love that each room in Kanebo has its own closet for us to store our valuables :D. The room is also equipped with hair dryer, comb even contact lens solution and casing! A+ for service XD

Products used for the day were from Kanebo's Blanchir Superior Brightening Range and also the kanebo Impress Range *_*. The beautician started of with double cleansing using a normal cleanser then followed by a foam cleanser. Instead of a scrub, she applied Brightener from the Impress range to soften skin, remove dead skin cells and encourage skin turnover rate. My skin feels awfully expensive now after I found out LOLOL. 

Extraction was dreadfully painful >_o oh well... no pain, no gain as they always say DX. I was squirming most of the time ;_; really wish I didn't have that many face problems T3T. After what felt like ages of extraction, she applied a cooling gel to sooth the skin and started the Ultrasonic Therapy. It's just rubbing a device all over your face to help uplift your face and improve blood circulation and skin tone. 

The shoulder and face mask was absolutely heaven~ I could feel my shoulders cracking from her massages and boy my body feels a whole lot lighter for the first time XD;;. As for the mask, she applied a clay mask for me as I have oily skin, then followed by a moisturizing mask + eye mask. Lastly, she applied essence for my pimples and sunblock for my face <3

I really enjoyed my facial at Kanebo :D even the facial packages are affordable too for such good service! >w<b. The basic facial starts from RM98 and for those with acne or oily skin, the Purifying Facial is RM138. Reasonably priced since most acne facials at other salons start from RM180++ to RM230+. 

Till we meet again, Kanebo~~~ *molests face*
