I'M THE NIGHT SKY, I'M THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES;


I will carry you and give you life.
I will cover you and show you the way.
It's a sequence that you never learnt.
It's a lesson I will never forget.

........

Feeling a little unsure whether to look forward to this month, or not. Do I want it to just glaze over, so that I won't even keep track of the dates? As bulletproof as I try to make myself out to be, I'm only human. 

I'm only human.

WE BUILD WALLS AROUND OUR HEARTS;


and we wonder why no one loves us.

........

I know I said on Twitter I'd try to get down to doing the Hardwell video on Saturday but I was sooo lethargic, I didn't. I told myself, "don't be lazy, do it when you're up on Sunday." But I had a super long night on Saturday, only reached home at 7am so Sunday I pretty much crashed through it. 

Obviously, what I'm trying to say is no, I've not done the Hardwell video. The most I've done for it to-date is importing the various footages on to iMovie. And creating a new project. I've yet to start dragging and editing whatsoever. 

This sense of plain nonchalance has spilled over from last week to this. And there are so little pictures for last week I feel so.. I feel so whatever that even my brain doesn't bother to come up with the correct word to describe this whatever mood I am in. Pfft. So patronise me alright? Let me throw a few pictures in this post and let's call it a day.

Pictures may not be according to the flow of a week (like Monday, Tuesday, etc); alright let's get down to it!

........


I think I'm the Queen of slack-dressing in the Corporate World. Who else dresses like this on a working day that's not Friday? No make up somemore. /claps. 


Don't you think my BBG damn chio? :3 


Favourite Sweet Potato Balls from Maxwell Market.



Random selfies while doing my draft for BottomSlim. I came home, plpped myself on my chair and just churn out the entry before even showering and changing out of my work attire. I had to though, because if I got too comfortable, I probably would just go to sleep. My laziness always gets the better of me.  


Playing cupid for my Magnebro HAHA.





Selfie moments during my second appointment with BottomSlim :D 


The amazeballs machine they use for my thigh treatments :D


Spotted this interesting looking cafe while Daddy Quek was driving around Jalan Besar area, did a quick google and this turned up! I want to try!!! :D


Whampoa Fried Hokkien Mee; beats Food Republic's hands down and only $4.



Menya Musashi with the BFF.




Finally had the time to visit the much raved about Wimbly Lu.




Rootbeer cake with Vanilla Ice Cream; mehhhhhh~~ I've tasted better cakes without having the need to travel all the way to Lorong Chuan.


Their signature waffles was pretty good; but then again, Gelare serves pretty good waffles too. The location kinda made me have pretty high expectations for it but sad to say, I'm a wee bit disappointed with Wimbly, just like how Koh Grill disappointed me. LOL.


OOTD; denim on demin.


Think I'm too much of a bro, but I DON'T CARE I LOVE IT.


First time going for Poptart and I must say I had a lot of fun!! The night started off pretty bad, I was seated on the curb outside valet for a good 30 minutes cause I wasn't feeling very good. But once we were in, the music was so awesome!! They played The xx, Jet, The Killers, Of Monsters and Men, Phoenix, etc! I walked past Phuture to get to Velvet and heard a snippet of Lil Jon(or was it Lil Wayne) going SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS; couldn't help but feel disgusted by how I actually found such songs appealing last time :x

Left Zouk at 3ish to find Magnebro at his favourite haunt; Neverland. 

Me. 

In a siam diu.

Let's take a moment to commemorate this moment.

Okay just to be clear, prior to this I have been to a thai disco. Not of my own choice, I just went along because that was the plan. Never did understood the allure of Thai Discos.

I didn't exactly want to go this time too, but Magnebro was there. The guys I was partying with wanted to stop by to wish their friend (whom I also know LOL so technically speaking also my friend) happy birthday and Minz was just OMG LETS GO TO NEVERLAND.

So once again, going because of majority.


Poor May got dragged along HEHEHE but she damn cool la she can be friends with anybody ones. Hope you weren't too bored with my friends! :D




But this trip kind of changed my perception towards thai discos. I guess if you throw the right company into whatever setting, it will always turn out a good thing. Because guess who was singing along to Black Eyed Peas and Justin Bieber at Neverland? :x

May, Minz and me were totally singing along to all the songs the thai singers were singing, completely oblivious that we were probably the only ones singing along. BUT it was fun, it was fun. (And no, I wasn't even drunk. Not even a little. Guess I was drunk of happiness from being around happy people :D)

Went off at 6 for some KKM. Walked under the sudden onset of morning drizzle to cab home. Totally died once my head hit my pillow. And thanks to that walk under the rain, I think I'm falling sick again. AISH.



Made some Garlic Omelette with Pan-Fried Oregano Tomatoes on Toasted Multigrain. 

Not trying to be obnoxious but seriously it was so good. I wanted to make Guacamole and Pan-Fried Salmon wrap but I decided to meet Mommy Quek outside for dinner so I didn't get the ingredients. Had to make do with what I had in my fridge so that was it! 

I love cooking. But I hate cleaning up. HAISH.


Safe to say, guys really love their food.  


Finally out and had to get my favourite Americano :D





Manhattan for dinner with the folks.

........



So yeah, done with this post. My mind is on a shut down mode I can't even process what is going to happen this week. What's up for you this week?

Till my next one, stay safe x!

REVIEW: BOTTOMSLIM

WASSSSSUPPPPP!!! As promised, I am back with a review of not a beauty product, but beauty service! :D

Let's talk about body image and flaws. I am the sort of person who focus way too much on my flaws. And I believe most girls out there are the same. 


For me, I always had a problem with my thighs and my lower abdomen. Even when I was participating actively in water sports during Polytechnic years, I always thought my thighs could be slimmer and no matter how many crunches I do, my lower abdomen is just a cluster of stubborn fats. And the problem got even harder to solve when I started working full time. I couldn't afford to exercise regularly due to work, or I'm just too tired after work to drag myself to the gym or even to run. It didn't help that all I did when I was bored was...


Needless to say, my fat thighs became fatter and my tummy just got warped, threw a party and decided to be the United Nations. 



So this is me, just last year, in what I deem as a super unflattering angle. My friends tell me my thighs look muscular but seriously I beg to differ. I think they look horridly chunky :( THEY HAS GOTS TO GO! 


So I made my way down to BottomSlim's City Square outlet, really excited for what they can do for me :D Got to love the outlet at City Square, really quiet and peaceful!


Walked in and was served a warm cup of tea. Plus points for service! There's nothing quite as calming as having a cup of tea, yes? :D


While waiting in the Consultation Room for my therapist, spotted these testimonials by customers/clients of BottomSlim. Sounds promising already!! :D



And here's a picture of my thighs in their most unflattering angle EVER. PRESSED FLAT AGAINST THE CHAIR. SERIOUSLY ARGH. 


I was listening super attentively throughout the entire consultation. I never knew there were so many factors that contributed to the accumulation of fats (or toxins) in our body and why only at certain areas!!! I always thought fat means fat. Period. No other explanation or whatsoever. And I also always thought exercise is the key to everything! But I learnt that exercise is not spot treatment. That means when you exercise, you can't just say "oh I want slimmer thighs" and when you do it, you WILL get slimmer thighs. Sometimes it comes in a package and as a result of over-exercise, you get slim thighs AND muscular calves :OOO THEN WHATS THE POINT?! I GET SLIM THIGHS BUT MUSCULAR CALVES AM I JUST TRANSFERRING BULKINESS HERE!? -.-




I was so intrigued by all these new information I had to take it down for y'all to see! Mind blowing whoaaaaaaaa~~~ Worse to me is cellulite!! They are those ugly dimples/layers in your skin, omnipresent in your thighs especially (HAHAHAHA I KNOW WHO HAS THIS, EH MAYBE YOU SHOULD COME TO BOTTOMSLIM TOO). Apparently we all have it, it's only a case of severity. THANK GOD/ALLAH/GUANYINMA my therapist said mine is just a case of toxin buildup~ PHEWWWWW. 

So after a thorough lower body analysis, my therapist decided on the following 2 treatments for me! :D


VT-09: which is the treatment to target my toxin-filled thighs, and to lift my (according to my therapist) already-perky butt hehehhehehehehehe :P 


Sonic Slim US: which is the treatment for my abdominal area. According to my therapist, I have a small waist which is a good thing, but my abdominal area looks shapeless because of all the toxins buildup :( 

Where do all these toxins come from? ALL YOUR MACDONALDS LAAAA ALL YOUR OLD CHANG KEE, ALL YOUR MAGGEE MEE. So yes, fried food, or food high in sodium content, STAY AWAY FROM THEM.


I was led to my lovely treatment room to change into the kimono and then to take my measurements. 


They had this really cool weighing machine that could tell you more than just your weight! After stepping on the machine, I found out that:

  • My body fat percentage is 25.2%, which is typical/average
  • My BMI is 19.5 :D Healthy uh~
  • My body age is 21!  (SO LUCKY I MISTREAT MY BODY LIKE MAD BUT IT'S ALL GOOD)
The machine also had other figures and measurements, too mind boggling! If you were to go down, can ask your therapist more about them! :D

Now let's go straight to the treatment alright? TYPICALLY, most bloggers wouldn't do this. THEY WON'T SHOW YOU PICTURES OF THEIR NAKED BUTT. BUT I HAVE TO. I FEEL COMPELLED TO. I NEED TO BECAUSE PICTURES DON'T LIE. WHEN I SAW THE EFFECT I WAS LIKE..


TOTALLY NOT KIDDING. 



I censored everything else because obviously I am not going to show you my bare naked butt. PFFT. And I purposely left my tattoo uncensored to prove that YES THAT'S MY BUTT LINE YOU'RE SEEING THERE. 



 AND THIS IS AFTER. THE TREATMENT WAS DONE ON THE LEFT SIDE FIRST. HOLY SHIT RIGHT?! YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY TELL MY LEFT BUTT CHEEK JUST WENT UP?! :O In just one session!? HOW CAN THIS BEEEEEEE????! :O

(these pictures are totally unphotoshopped. Only edit done was mosaic-ed and blurred because I know there are tons of sexual pervs prowling the web but I really had to post the pictures because I can wax lyrical about the treatment but its all just words, yes? So I hope any sexual pervs out there, please do whatever you want, just don't ask me kinky questions on ask.fm or send me weird ass emails; thanks.)


And throughout the treatment, my face was just like this. Painful? Honestly, the starting was. And it differs from individual to individual. I have a pretty high threshold for pain, but maybe my thighs just had too much toxins in them, so no choice, got to endure a little discomfort for beautiful legs :D But you get used to the discomfort after a while, so much so that once we were well into the treatment, I kind of wanted to fall asleep. zzz Too damn comfortable!

After VT-09, we then went on to Sonic Slim US! This treatment also super shiok!! The gel they used during the treatment was super minty, I felt like my tummy was on fireeeee!! But in a good way, damn shiok!! If you're ticklish like me, you're gonna spend a good 3 minutes trying to get used to the treatment, because I was giggling like mad! :D I got to say the therapist attending to me was really sweet and she shared a lot of information with me about stomach health and how food intake actually affects your body. It's from moments like these that you can tell how dedicated the staff are in what they're doing. Very impressed indeed!

........

Personal Review
I really enjoyed my treatments there. To me, service is king. And the service rendered by the staff at BottomSlim City Square outlet is just impeccable! Never once did I feel uncomfortable, and during the treatment, the therapists always checked to see if I was okay or if the treatments were too painful. Treatment-wise, I am sure the pictures speak for me. THE RESULTS ARE JUST WHOA. 


My pretty flower hehe, thanks JF! :*


I am so very thankful and grateful for BottomSlim :3 I am so looking forward to my next treatment, WHICH IS TODAY WHOOP WHOOP!!! :D:D:D
