Down Memory Lane

edit : FOUND MY ACTUAL DAY WEDDING VIDEO!! :D

Suddenly thought about sharing my wedding videos.

1) 7 Years and Counting produced by Hanzfoto Production.

Basically tells about the story on how me and Bear met. Really brings back fond memories as we were together for 7 whole years before tying the knot.

2) The Making of Our Pre-Wedding Photos produced by Red Bliss.

The actual proposal video taken by our friends was embedded into this video.

3) Actual Wedding Video produced by Hanzfoto Production.

And finally the actual wedding caught on video. Thank God we hired a videographer - it's nothing like re-watching your own wedding over and over again. *heart*

Have an awesome week ahead.

Review : S Spa @ Solaris Mont Kiara

Disclaimer: All photos are from S Spa.

It was one of those random weekends that I decided that it was high-time for a pampering me-time. As usual, since I can never secure an appointment with Tru Spa on a last minute basis, I started googling for cheap and good deals... which eventually led me to S Spa in Solaris Mont Kiara. Independent reviews were pretty decent so finally I called them up for an appointment.

To my utter surprise, they have a pretty awesome promotion for their Spa Indulgence package. For 3 hours of treatment, it only cost RM160. Note that they only accept cash so please come prepared.

The shop is located on the 3rd floor in Solaris Mont Kiara, where CIMB Bank is. I know that parking can be a bitch there, so do not fret as next to the building there is an open space carpark which cost RM3.00 per entry (if I am not mistaken). The premise is pretty small but comfortable and cosy – very important because ultimately your intention is to relax and not worry about anything else. The staffs there are generally very friendly and they can speak English and Malay as the masseurs are local. Mine is from Melaka (I forgot her name).


I was led to a room which was furnished ala Balinese style. One strange thing I noticed is that the spa doesn’t play your typical “spa music”. Thank God it was raining heavily outside so I had “natural ambiance music” instead. Hehe

Scrub.
The treatment starts with salt scrub. It was okay just that because it is purely sea salt, I felt that it was a little too rough on my skin. Thereafter, I was asked to quickly rinsed off the salt.

Body Mask.
Thank God the masseur offered to switch off the aircond. It was cool!! And you are suppose to lie there butt naked until the mask dry and hardens off. Not very pleasant I was shivering throughout, and the “natural ambiance music” didn’t help much too. Brrr~

Jacuzzi.
I couldn’t wait to jump into the warm water!! It was heavenly. I was asked to soak for 20 minutes and to allow the jet pump to pulsate water on my body. Honestly, I am never a big fan of jacuzzis because after awhile my body becomes itchy (I have good blood circulation: p)

Massage.
Finally! The much anticipated massage!! She used eucalyptus oil which smells really good. The minute the masseur lay her fingers on me, it was painful (yes, I am a wuss like that). Due credit has to be given to her; she did try to preempt me and did her best to try to untangle my knots. The painful areas are the back on my knee (due to wind), and my shoulders especially my right side (apparently I injured my muscle). She showed me the bump (i.e. bengkak) and I know I had to weather out the pain so that my back can be totally free from backaches. Slowly, she untangled the knot and tried to minimize the pain as much as she could. Kudos to her! What I love most is that after the massage, she will apply peppermint oil which gives a nice cooling effect.


Steam Room.
I was asked to go to another room for this treatment. The hot steam coupled with the peppermint oil on my body felt good. At about this time, you can really feel relaxed with all the knots removed. Thereafter, you are asked to change before heading for your final treatment.

Foot Spa.
The foot spa is located at the foyer. Again I love the warm water and whilst the masseur gently massages your feet, she dripped a few drops of peppermint oil into the water as well.


And that concludes my spa experience in S Spa. Truth be told, for RM160 it is really cheap for a 3-hour session. The question now is that will I head back there? Most likely not. Not because I don’t like their service. It is because I can’t stand the pain; hence I would still prefer Khareyana Spa although I have to pay a lot more. But for those who have a higher pain tolerance than me, I would highly recommend this place to you.

Review : Sounds Like a Good Plan (B)

The jakun~ness in me didn't hear about this awesome place in Bangsar Village until a colleague of mine took me over to Plan B for lunch. It was packed!! The premise in itself is rather small but I liked the setup, it is rather quint and reminds me of overseas coffee joints. One thing to complain though, because the premise is small and it is relatively crowded, I find the place rather stuffy and can be quite hot if you lepak there longer.

Plan B serves water in what looks like a recycled glass and water is free!! I damn pantang if restaurants charge money for plain water ok!!! Very interesting concept.

Onion Rings. I didn't try this but Bear did and he said it was pretty good. So I cant comment much on this side dish actually.


Wild Mushroom Soup. The picture looks deceiving but the portion is actually HUGE!! And the soup is awesome - it is definitely not your average Campbell Soup. What I liked about this soup is that you can actually taste bits of mushroom and the flavor is fantastic.


Plan B Breakfast Platter. Plan B serves all-day breakfast i.e. until 6 pm. Over the weekend, I was severely craving for an American Breakfast and off we headed to try their platter. The breakfast platter comes with eggs (you can choose the cooking style which you want), sausages, sautee mushrooms, hash brown, cherry tomatoes, toast bread, orange juice, and coffee/tea. For a portion as huge as this, I feel that the pricing is not too bad. Of course, it is yummy too!! Looking back at the picture makes me hungry again *drool*


Soft-Shell Crab Spaghetti. This dish is AWESOME, I don't know how else to describe it!!! The creme sauce is thick but not too jelak. The spaghetti is very nicely cooked and the soft-shell crab is fried to perfection. Again the portion is also very palatable.

Apple Crumble. Plan B serves a wide array of desserts. Choosing what I like was mind-boggling! Ahh... decisions... decisions!! I ended up choosing the old-fashion apple crumble served with vanilla ice-cream. So typical of me.. always a sucker for anything apple. :) Not too bad and portion is big. But I still prefer my aunt's home-made apple pie though.


Latte. People who knows me well knows that I am a sucker for coffee too! So I couldn't help but to resist ordering their latte to try out as well. Honestly, I have tasted better latte but can't complain about the one in Plan B.


Ambiance : 4*
Service : 3*
Value-for-Money : 5*

Overall, I love the place and I would definitely come back here again. My complains on Plan B is as follows:

1. The place can be rather hot and stuffy.


2. Waiters quite rude and not accommodating cos they are understaff.
   

To end my post, I like it that Plan B provides hook and little notes to remind their lady patrons that we can hook our handbags under the table. Very well thought of.

Review : TVB Series - Wax and Wane

Disclaimer : All pictures and video is from TVB.

In my opinion, this series is pretty good. I’ve always had an affinity for family drama when it comes to TVB series. Don’t worry, I won’t rewrite the entire story again as you can find plenty of them when you google the title. Neither am I gonna copy and paste the synopsis, you can read them yourself in their official site.

The Cast:

In general, the casting was fantastically done. Here are some of the characters which I picked out that is worth mentioning:

Roger Kwok Chun On (Yung Yi Chun) plays a remarkable character and he fits the role very well. I particularly liked how he was initially being assumed as a ruthless entrepreneur who doesn't care about family values; but in actual fact, whatever that he does was for the family. Previously, since Roger Kwok often plays main supporting roles, I reckon that this series is a breath of fresh air to actually see him in the lead role. And he did an amazing job!

Ron Ng Cheuk Hei (Yung Yi Hang) character was so-so. Personally, I like Ron Ng because he is very gaya. I feel that Yi Hang’s character is a very stereotypical “rich-man’s son” role – lack of business knowledge, spends the family fortune, and only immerse himself in love/relationships. His reaction and facial expression was pretty much the same throughout the episodes though. So, I guess overall his performance pale in comparison with Roger Kwok.

Sunny Chan Kam Hung (Man Ka Fung) character is a tad too loud for my liking. There are just too much of shouting and rash action which I feel is very much overboard. Yes, I know that the character requires Sunny Chan to be rough because he is uneducated. But there is just way too much of shouting it gets very irritating. However, I like the twist whereby he was too infatuated with money that he eventually turned to be like the old Yi Chun. Just felt that the shouting should be toned down.

Kate Tsui Tze San (Man Ka Fu aka “Fu Kwai Mui”) character was also rather nicely played. For a change, Kate Tsui was the nice and smart “girl-next-door” as oppose to her usual characters of being a bitchy villain. Still think that she plays a better villain though. She is improving as an actress as she is relatively new so I shall cut her some slack. Her performance was okay despite not being stellar. Oh.. and she is pretty too.

Toby Leung Jing Kei (Ho Ka Mun aka “Tai Sek Mui”) fits very very well into the character. Got to admit though, initially like Sunny Chan, she was very irritating as she shouts a lot and her glutton-like character really irks me off. But as the series goes along, it became more “bearable” as she becomes more ladylike.

Excerpts worth mentioning :

(may contain spoiler)

I like the twist towards the middle of the series where Yi Chun realized that there is more towards the business and in the end family ties are the most important.

The twist where Tai Sek Mui was actually a half-sister of the Yung family because Yi Chun’s father has strings of affairs outside of marriage and fathered her with his own cousin sister.

Fu Kwai Mui who always encourages Yi Chun by writing messages on post-it notes (which is kind of cute). These gestures eventually led to Yi Chun falling for her although she is already attached to his brother, Yi Hang.

The scenes where Yi Chun cried for his family – at his mother’s grave when he couldn't make it back in time for the wake, and at his father’s bedside when the latter had a stroke. All scenes made me cry together with him too. I like these scenes as it gives off certain moral values.

The climax where Man Ka Fung plotted and managed to kick Yi Chun out of the company, and places Yi Hang as the CEO. This is where Yi Chun lost everything – business and family as he was being suspected of having affairs with both Man Ka Fung’s wife and Fu Kwai Mui.

The Ending:

(may contain spoiler)

Honestly, it is too abrupt for my liking. As with most TVB series, the ending is usually rushed and sucky. This is no different and this is why I think so:

I think Zita’s character is irrelevant and Yi Chun should end up with Fu Kwai Mui because both the later and Yi Hang don’t have jodoh as mentioned time and again in the series (judging from the fact that they didn't get to marry even after trying to for numerous times)

The part where both Man Ka Fung’s wife and Fu Kwai Mui got pregnant at almost the same time was a little too far-fetched.

Yi Chun’s father’s mistress, Wong Sau Peng died too abruptly resulting in her lover going mental. Wonder why TVB like to “kill” its villains in this abrupt manner.

Conclusion:

All in all, it was a good movie. Really worth watching. :) And I shall end my post with the theme song. Totally love the song! :)

Abortion

I'm sorry to disgust you on a Friday just before lunch time. But I feel that I have to draw people's attention to the dramatic picture above. In case if you are wondering, it is not an alien but a 8-weeks old embryo (according to Daily Chilli) which was aborted.

Which brings me to the topic for the day : Abortion.

I am not here to judge people but the general view is that abortion is okay for babies who have not reach its fetus stage yet - i.e. usually in the first trimester which is the embryo stage. Reason? Because the baby is not "formed" yet. From the picture above, it is CLEAR that you can actually tell that it has already taken on a human form even at the embryonic stage.

So tell me now, isn't abortion akin to murder?
Think about it.

Mrs Lee

Love is patient, Love is kind

I don't know what prompt me to pen down this entry probably it's because Bear finally allowed me to go to Bangkok end of this year after days of pestering probably when I look around at my friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and family members; they always remind me that I am very blessed to be married to my current husband.

In Chinese there is a saying that goes :

"Anything else is not important for a woman, most importantly she must be married to a good man"

How true.

Why am I blessed to be stuck with my husband?

1. Because he is Hainanese and you know what they say about Hainanese men? They love their wives to bits.
   
   
2. Because he provides for me - financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
   
   
3. Because he loves and cares for me unconditionally despite my mood swings.
   
   
4. Because he tries as much as he can to accommodate to my requests, whims, and fancies - no matter how absurd and strange it sounds.
   
   
5. Because he gives me ample freedom, be it a night out drinking and clubbing with my friends or for an all-girls road trip.
   
   
6. Because he trust me.
   
   
7. Because he is very patient with me and had never raise his voice at me before.
   
   
8. Because he is God-fearing and dare not doesn't cheat on me.
   
   
9. Because he has an uncanny liking towards household chores.
   
   
10. Because he always makes me feel special and most importantly he remembers significant dates (even the date which he proposed to me which I shamelessly forgot :p).

No doubt we have our fair share of arguments, ups and downs, and idiosyncrasies. Sometimes he we drive each other up the walls too. But all in all, if I were given a choice to select a husband all over again ... I would still choose Bear. *heart*


p/s: The Hainanese part is true ok! Tried and tested. :)

Review : Goodbye Forever! Spray & Minty Aloe Jello by Honeypot Wax Boutique

Since it was my first time doing a Brazilian (by now the whole world would've known), the sexy kitty, Corrine at Honeypot Wax Boutique encouraged me to buy two of their products - namely Goodbye Forever! Spray 125ml (RM100/=) and Minty Aloe Jelly 100ml (RM80/=). Yes, I've got to admit that the products are not exactly cheap as the bottles are small if you are kiam then you can use very very sparingly.

Don't worry the kitties at Honeypot will not force and hard-sell for you to purchase their stuff or sign up on their packages unlike Strip!. So far, I have been using the products for two whole weeks and it is really really good!


Why did I splurge?

1. Why not? It is my most private part *ahem* and I reckon that it is not right to stinge on care-products for the area down there.
   
   
2. I've heard and read of horror stories regarding ingrown hairs and unbearable itchiness so I am determined to put a stop it - even before it starts.
   
   
3. It looks disgusting and unsightly with ingrown hairs sticking sideways down there imagine the horror for your husband/boyfriends!!!
   
   
4. I had a problem with eczema and severe folliculitis on my legs a couple of years back. It was so bad that I had to go on oral and cream steroids. There was no particular incident that triggered it, it just happened. My legs has open wound (which looks like slabs of salami) and it won't dry up. Needless to say, it took me almost 2 years to solve the problem and the scars still remains on my legs. Like they say, once bitten twice shy. So for this time, I also took precaution and ready myself to prevent any outbreaks.

Product Review - An Honest Opinion.

- Goodbye Forever! Spray 125ml (RM100/=)

What is it?
This product reduces ingrown hair and thus prevent itchiness. It is a calming treatment spray formulated with salicylic acid (to exfoliate gently), witch hazel (to cleanse pores), and montana flower extract (to sooth the skin). You only need to spray on directly into the area and gently rub in for two-weeks immediately after waxing before the hair grows.

Feeling?
The product once sprayed is cooling. As you gently exfoliate your skin, your area there feels much more cleaner and lighter. You can almost feel the dead skin being scrubbed off. And a very good plus point, it smells sweet because of the montana flower extract *sniff*

My Verdict.
Amazing!! No ingrown hairs at all!! Zero!! Also no bumps and red angry zits. All the hair that are grown out are sparse and thin not curly, thick, and dense. I highly recommend this product to others to eradicate ingrown hairs completely!

Tips: Use it BEFORE the hair is grown out.

- Minty Aloe Jello 100ml (RM80/=) :

What is it?
This is a moisturizer which softens the skin. The aloe vera has antibacterial, caring, and soothing properties. And the mint gives a very cooling effect.

Feeling?
This product is awesome awesome awesome!! I use it after the Goodbye Forever! Spray. Because it has aloe vera properties in it, it gives a very soothing feeling. Occasionally when your down there itches (especially 1-3 days after waxing), this product works wonders. It stops the itch almost instantly!! Plus point, the mint gives a menthol feeling which is very cooling like Colgate.

My Verdict.
The area is well-moisturized and hydrated. There are no flaky-skins.


Conclusion.

You only need to use in the first 2-weeks post waxing. Honestly speaking, I still have a lot left in the bottles. Based on my calculation, it should be able to last about 1 year or so (depending on how frequent you go for your waxing). Also, I strongly recommend to use both products hand-in-hand to optimize the effect.

Was it worth it?
Every single sen!

Mrs Lee

My Thoughts on the 9 July 2011 Bersih Rally

Bersih’s request is well ... fair.
My stand is simple, if you have nothing to hide then why oppose to a more transparent election? Democracy is all about fairness and the freedom of speech right? I have to applaud Bersih for its courage to stand up to the Government and act as the voice of the Rakyat. It is high time that we are being represented by an organization who acts as a watchdog of the Government. The Rakyat are getting more and more eloquent and knowledgeable. We are no longer living in the Dark Ages.

Illegality?
May I ask why go to the extreme to outlaw Bersih? Did they threaten the security of the nation? Did they raise any racial sentiments? Did they wage a war against the Government? Never once did Bersih raise the issue of race. In fact, Ibrahim Ali should be arrested for his slanderous remarks and his threats time and again against all the other races. Doesn’t his act warrant him to be detained under the ISA? Shouldn’t then Perkasa be disbanded and made illegal? Food for thought.


Enough with the racial issues already!
Ibrahim Ali should learn to shut the f up. If it was not because of him, the rally would be a peaceful one. Enough with the “Ketuanan Melayu” thing. No one has challenged that before so don’t keep mentioning about it. Sudah lapuk already ok. By the way, where were you on July 9? Batang hidung pun tak nampak. Wuss ~

Opposition parties who has other ideas.
What I didn’t like was the fact that opposition parties took this opportunity to jump into the bandwagon and rode on Bersih for their own personal gain. Let’s all be focus here … Bersih’s ultimate motive is for a clean election NOT for other political parties to state their propaganda – you can save it for the General Election later.


Compromise.
Bersih took one-step back and compromised by agreeing to hold the rally in a Stadium instead of on the streets during its audience with the King. Why can’t then the damn permit to Stadium Merdeka be granted to Bersih? What do you mean by asking them to hold their rallies in “their own stadium”? Isn’t Stadium Merdeka the Rakyat’s? If the permit was granted, the protestors would all be contained in the Stadium and would be easier for the police force and FRU to monitor. Seems that the authorities are doing whatever they can to stop Bersih from seeking a fair election.

Brutality against the Rakyat.
Yes, am sure that we have seen loads of videos and pictures depicting the police and FRU firing tear-gas, spraying water, and using batons on the protestors. Judging from them, it seems that the armed forces went ahead too far to “silence” the protestors. If it was a peaceful rally with no rowdiness, all weapons should be used sparingly (or not at all) against the Rakyat. When you use brute force on the Rakyat, you expect them to retaliate. And, by the way all hospitals are off limits.

But on the other hand, how else do you expect the armed forces to disperse the massive crowds? How are they gonna do a crowd control? You be the judge.


Leadership?
I feel that our PM should have stepped in and had a discussion with Bersih – to try to find ways to settle the issue amicably. During the height of the rally, our PM was “doing his usual official business” i.e. attending the Flora Exhibition in Putrajaya. Come on … which one should be placed at a higher priority? He left it to the “good” hands of the PDRM and FRU. It is almost like a coup/junta situation – a country run by armies. So disappointed.

In the true spirit of 1Malaysia.
Despite it all, I also saw all races of Malay, Chinese, and Indian came together and unite as one fighting for the same cause, helping each other in need, and supporting one another. I have never seen unity such as this before. Truly heart warming – shows that we can be one as Malaysian regardless of race if we choose to.

One thing's for sure, the events that unfolded on 9 July 2011 will forever be etch in our minds and hearts.

On 9 July 2011, the Rakyat finally came together, united for a call of a fair and trasparent election.

Post- Brazilian Waxing (1 Week)

I noticed that there is not much information with regards to post-Brazilian waxing on the net. Trust me, the after-care is important as you don’t want to end up with a bad infection or over-population of zits with pus down there *urgh*

So I have no choice but to take the “wait-and-see approach” and try to settle whatever issues that comes along the way using what I would like to call the “trial-and-error method”. Of course, for first-timers like me, it is important to highlight your concerns to the therapist upfront so she can recommend products or educate you on how to handle any impending breakouts (yikes!) - after all they are the experts.

Because I am nice (as usual), I shall share with you on these tried-and-tested approaches on post-Brazilian care. Note that this is merely my own experience (it may or may not work on some individuals) and I will do a separate review post on Honeypot’s after-care products.


DID YOU KNOW?

1. After the Brazilian, I tend to head to the toilet more frequent. It is so strange! Probably it’s just a coincidence. Or the massages (don’t think dirty ok!) when I apply the Goodbye Forever! spray. *shrug*
   
   
2. Speaking about toilets, I finally understand why we have pubes under there! It is to “direct” the pee into the toilet bowl. Seriously! Without them, you have to aim properly or risk dripping/spraying it on the seat or along your thighs 0_o”. Ok... I shall stop being disgusting and stop here about the pee. Kindly forgive me on my bluntness. :)

I'VE WAXED IT OFF ... NOW WHAT??

Itchiness:

I’m not going to lie, in the first 1-3 days after waxing it was itchy down there (especially the labia area). Not because I don’t wash or I've contracted syphilis ok! It is because the hair was yanked out from the roots; hence some irritation is bound to occur. This is the same when you wax any part of your body for that matter. For me, the itchiness can be uncomfortable but bearable. Don’t worry too much because after Day 3, the itch will miraculously disappear but if it still persist you better go see a gynecologist it could be crabs

Scratch ... scratch!

What to do?

1. Scratch.
   
2. Keep your area moist hydrated. Aloe Vera gel helps as it has soothing and has natural antiseptic properties. Alternatively, after going to the toilet you can use a damp tissue and dab your area. This will actually give an immediate relieve.
3. Exfoliate the area gently everyday – this is to remove build-up dead skin cells which may clog up your pores. I have read that some al-cheapo people use facial/body scrubs. For me, I am using a product that contains Salicylic Acid (which is a gentle exfoliant).

WARNING: Not advisable to use powder as it will dry up the area and clog up the pores.

Bumps / Zits / Ingrown Hairs:There are tiny bumps around the area (looks like white heads). Apart from it looking like a skin of a steam chicken, it doesn't affect me in any other way. The bumps are actually new hair that are about to grow out from the follicle. It is advisable to take extreme care at about this time to prevent any ingrown hairs. Thank God so far I don’t have any ingrown hairs! Oh, and these ingrown hairs if infected will create zits!

Ingrown hairs are nasty – the characteristic sign is a small bump which may be reddened, itchy, or painful. Ingrown hair happens especially after shaving because the end of the hair is sharp. When the hair grows, the sharp end can re-enter the skin instead of growing upward. Although waxing remove hair from below the surface of the skin, the hair can curl back on itself as it grows. More prominent for Brazilian waxing as our pubes down there is curly. Don’t worry once the hair grows longer, the ingrown problem will be solved albeit it being very very uncomfortable.

Upclose on ingrown hairs - I know it's kinda disgusting.

Notice that the hair grows "sideways" because the

sharp ends pierced into the skin? The red bumps are infection.

What to do?

1. Wear loose-fitting clothing – it helps not only to prevent ingrown hair but also to minimize the itchiness as well.
   
2. Prevention is better than cure. Again exfoliate using products containing Salicylic Acid. Rub gently to free the hair. Do not scrub too hard as this will get the skin more irritated. I have been exfoliating diligently everyday since waxing and will continue to do so two weeks after the Brazilian (as advised by the experts in Honeypot).
3. Moisturize!! Please moisturize the area after exfoliating to ensure that the skin is not too dry.
   
4. Tweezing. For the gung-ho ones, you may pluck them out once you see the hairs growing out.*shudders*

It is already past one week since my first Brazilian and still no sight of ingrown hairs (hallelujah!!) and the itch is gone. The area is still smooth like a baby’s bottom except for a few short hairs. Let’s see what happens after 1-month. :)

Burger Ramli - Malaysia Boleh!

I've recently discover an awesome roadside stall that sells fantastic Burger Ramli near where I stay - Kedai Ramli Burger Yeop. At day time En. Yeop works as a lorry driver, by night he operates his stall. And mind you he is already a grandfather!

Todate, I dare say that his is the best around town. The buns are spread with butter margarine and toasted to perfection. The patties are marinated with Lea & Perrine sauce (plus some other unidentified sauce). Top with thinly sliced potatoes, onion, and lettuce ... Yeop makes a perfect Burger Ramli.

My order is usually double beef patty and without mayonnaise. It cost a mere RM3.50. *slurp*

You can say that it is unhygienic but you gotta admit that a Burger Ramli rocks! Cheap and good. Move over McDonalds! Ramli is making you run for your money. :D

Top 10 Most Irritating Drivers in Malaysia

#10 : The "Bom-Bom Pow" Drivers.
... aka "The Nigga-Wannabees".

Diagnosis:
These are the drivers who would blast their speakers' volume to the max with hip-hop music. It is so loud and screeching that even with the windows up and miles away, you can actually still hear and feel the beat.

My conclusion:
1) They are deaf.
2) Attention seeker.
3) They are deaf.

#9: The UFO Drivers.
... aka "The La-La/Ah Bengs/Ah Lians".

Diagnosis:
Closely related to drivers #10. I don't understand why would you install hideous lights at inappropriate places on the car. It serves no purpose whatsoever and it is not even aesthetically pleasing to the eye in the first place. 0_o"

My conclusion:
1) They are blind.
2) They are blind.
3) They are blind.

#8: The Scardy-Cat Drivers.
... aka "The Road Hoggers"

Diagnosis:
These are the "want to go - don't want to go" type. They hesitate and wait for clearance before moving forward. And by clearance I mean TOTALLY cleared of cars. Typical example is at the roundabout or when doing a turning during peak hours. They also have the tendency to hog the fast lanes. These drivers would also leave behind a trail of traffic jam behind them.

My conclusion:
1) You shouldn't be behind the wheels
2) Only come out in the middle of the night or wee hours of the morning

#7: The Multi-Taskers.

Diagnosis:
Have you seen drivers who are behind the wheels while talking on the phone, eating, and trying to apply mascara at the same time? ... I rest my case.

My conclusion:
If you want to endanger others, kindly do so at your own expense.

#6: The "Takes-Forever-to-Park" Drivers.

Diagnosis:
Look into the rearview mirror, can't you see that there is a queue forming steadily at the back? The "Takes-Forever-to-Reverse-the-Car-Out-from-the-Parking-Lot" drivers also falls into this category.

My conclusion:
Unfortunately, I sometimes fall into this category too.
1) Get someone else to help park your car for you.
2) Hire a jockey.

#5: The Double-Parkers.

Diagnosis:
Most selfish drivers in the world who don't give a rat's ass about other people's timing.

My conclusion:
1) The cars should be towed away.
2) The owner be put to jail for 3 months plus a fine of RM3,000/=.
3) Repeat offenders should be tied down and watch other people scratch their cars using coins.

#4: The Queue-Cutters.

Diagnosis:
Be civilised - wait in line like everyone else. You are not the only one pressing for time. When we are nice enough to occasionally let you pass, please have the decency to waive a hand of thanks.

My conclusion:
1) Moronic drivers.
2) Refer to #5.

#3: The Drivers who Don't Indicate.
(or misused the Hazard Lights)

Diagnosis:
The thing sticking out at the side of your steering is called an indicator. It was created for a purpose. Use it. We are not superheroes who can read minds. And you DO NOT on your hazard lights unless your car is STATIONARY, not when it is raining heavily and your car is moving.

My conclusion:
The license should be revoked.

#2: The High-Beamers.
(HID lights included)

Diagnosis:
We are not blind. We can see you.

My conclusion:
1) HID should be banned forever.
2) Tie these drivers up and high-beam directly into their eyes for 2 hours.

#1: The Most Irritating Drivers on My List - The Wankers Honkers

Diagnosis:
You do not purposely accelerate while pressing on your honk from miles away when people has indicated that they want to turn into your lane. Please refrain from doing idiotic things like this. Plus, I am not deaf I can hear you loud and clear.

My conclusion:
1) License should be revoked forever.
2) Tie these drivers up and honk in their face for 2 hours.

And here are my top ten list of the most irritating drivers in Malaysia. ~urgh!

Review : Deforestation @ Honeypot Wax Boutique

I am sure by now everyone is curios on my first Brazilian experience in Honeypot Wax Boutique. I've booked an appointment with them on Saturday at 1:15pm in their newly opened second outlet in One-Utama Old Wing (the official opening was on Friday).

Honeypot Wax Boutique - The Premise...
Note: All pictures are from Honeypot Malaysia Facebook page

Although the premise is not very big, it exudes a warm and cozy atmosphere to which it immediately lightens up your mood. The interior is sexy with its distinctive hot pink and black theme color. I've got myself lost trying to locate the place but a very helpful kitty (that's what the staff/therapists are called in Honeypot) actually walked out and led me to the shop. An exemplary show of excellent customer service. :)

Honeypot also carries its own after-care products which are made from natural ingredients. All of the products are from Australia, the land down under (no pun intended). Naturally, for all the waxing session, the kitties will use Honeypot's own in-house products ensuring only the highest of quality for their customers. Plus point, I love the packaging of their products!

The Process...

Disclaimer: Please forgive me on the sucky photos - its taken from my BB.

For first timers, you are required to fill up a simple form on your personal details and information regarding your skin condition (e.g. allergy etc) to ascertain if you are suitable for waxing and to pre-empt the kitties so they won't be caught offguard if you have a yeast infection or something like that hehehe

Once done, you will be ushered into the examination therapy room and be asked to remove your clothing and wipe yourself with a wet wipe which is provided for. You will also be given a pink towel to wrap yourself up. The room is really small but not cluttered. I like the ambiance as the lights are dimmed and is quite soothing.

Once done, the therapist will knock on the door to be let in. My kitty for the day was Corrine - a senior therapist who has 5 years of experience under her belt. When I called up Honeypot for an appointment, I specified that it will be my first time for a Brazilian and she immediately scheduled me a senior kitty. And I have nothing but praises for Corrine. Experienced, nice, gentle, and fast. :)

The minute Corrine came in, she asked me to lie on the bed and proceeded to chat me up - I reckon this is the strategy to remove the nervousness and awkwardness.

Honeypot uses hot wax for sensitive areas - i.e. Brazilian, face, underarms, and nipple (yes some people has hairy nipples so don't laugh ok). Their signature wax is Cherry Pie Hot Wax which contains beeswax and rosin. The difference between a hot wax and a strip wax is that strip wax are those which drips really hot sticky wax on your skin and then uses paper strips to yank out your hair - typical for those in less sensitive area like your legs. The use of hot wax is very much gentler on the skin as it hardens and "wraps" the hair which doesn't tug at the skin when pulled.

No wonder during my previous underarm waxing it hurts like hell cos Tru Spa burnt me as the wax was WAY TOO hot! And my upper lips was red and sore from the traumatizing experience. T_T

The Cherry Pie Hot Wax needs to be warmed up to liquefy it and when cooled down will harden. Plus point : the smell is delicious!! The minute I walked into the room the sweet smell of cherries (like bubblegum) wafted trough the room. *swweeeeetttt*

The kitty checks on the hair down below and proceeded to trim it shorter. She then cleansed the skin and applied moisturizer. Some talcum powder is then sprinkled to keep the area dry.Then the waxing began ... she applied the Cherry Pie Hot Wax starting with the bikini line for testing. The wax is warm - to some extent it is really a nice feeling. I like it - it is very sensual :p! The minute it hardens, she pulled it off. Honestly, I didn't even feel a thing as I was talking and laughing away with Corrine. She moved on the the upper area and I still didn't feel anything.

Corrine : Wah .. you don't feel anything wan ar?
Me : Huh? You waxed already meh?

0_o"

The good thing is that the minute the warm wax is applied, in one swift motion she waxed it off, and immediately applied pressure with some soothing lotion on the area. So there is almost no pain at all.And this continued on for a good 30 minutes - moving from the bikini line, the upper part, the labia, and finally the butt cleavage. For shorter hair, she tweeze it off in quick frequent motion. Contrary to other reviews, it was not even remotely painful!

All in all, it was a pleasant experience (I kid you not). And she never double-dipped the spatula. Not even once.

Corrine even convinced me to do an upper lip waxing which I initially refused because of my previous bad experience. She reassured me and I allowed her to proceed. I was amazed that it was pain-free as well!!!!

Was it painful?
No!! It was not as painful as I anticipated it to be. I was surprised myself. People who knows me knows that I have very very low tolerance to pain. On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the most painful, I would say 1. Trust me when I say some parts are totally painless. I didn't even feel anything at all. Of course, I did wince a teeny bit when the waxing was very close to my *ahem* - other than that it was almost PAINLESS! I am no warrior of pain ok. If I can do it, everyone can do it!

Was it embarrassing baring it all?
No!! The kitties has seen it all and yours are no different. Like I mentioned, the kitties at Honeypot made you feel very very comfortable so you don't feel awkward at all.

Do you have to go on all fours when they wax the butt cleavage?
No. You only need to lie on your side and in a jiffy its done. :)

Is it itchy down there after the waxing?
A little but very bearable. I didn't had to scratch myself in public if that's what you mean.

What are the after-care post waxing?
Immediately please refrain from exposing the area to hot water, sunbathing, and swimming for at least 1 -2 days. You don't want to end up with a nasty infection.Honeypot has an awesome range of products all imported from Australia. Albeit being on the pricey side. I feel that we should take good care of our nether region and I don't mind paying a bit more. As recommended by Corrine, I bought two products.

Goodbye Forever! 125ml (RM100/=) :

This product reduces ingrown hair and thus prevent itchiness. It is a calming treatment spray formulated with salicylic acid (to exfoliate gently), witch hazel (to cleanse pores), and montana flower extract (to sooth the skin). You only need to spray on and gently rub into the newly waxed area for two-weeks immediately after waxing before the hair grows.

Minty Aloe Jello 100ml (RM80/=) :

This is a moisturizer which softens the skin. The aloe vera has antibacterial, caring, and soothing properties. Use if after the Goodbye Forever product, the mint gives a very cooling effect.

Will I go back to Honeypot again?
Of course!! DEFINITELY!! I am a satisfied customer of Honeypot. What I love about them:

1. Professional
2. Hygienic
3. Friendly Kittie
4. Awesome Service
5. Almost Painless Experience

I am so satisfied that I signed up a package with Honeypot for RM1,050 of which I get a total value of RM1,365. Not to worry, you can pay by interest-free installment with Maybankard or HSBC. I am now officially a sexy kitty. :)

Typically for maintenance, you are encouraged to head back for another session after 4-6 weeks from your first waxing. If you ask me, I reckon that it is entirely up to you and the hair growth cos every individual is different.

What happens now?
Oh my God.. you won't believe it, I feel so much more "lighter" and clean down there. Definitely sexier too. It is baby smooth .. why didn't I discover this earlier???
