I would call it, A Fish Feeding Experience.

Ladies, if you are still wondering if you should go for this fish spa session, I would say GO!

Don’t worry about the ticklish sensation. In fact, it is quite therapeutic seeing my body and mind relaxed when they nibble away the dead skin on my feet. If you’re wondering if your feet will be smooth and silky after the session, well I hate to burst your bubble but to say, it is just 20% of a real feet polish and spa.

Please do not get me wrong! This fish spa is never a waste of time since the results are not as beautifully worded as the ones we read from other reviews or newspaper. This is just my personal view after spending 45 minutes in the pool of fishes. It’s definitely a fantastic experience despite some silly moments of squirming and giggling.

To obtain the best result, just remain still in the pool and relax. Try not to focus so much on the fishes, counting how many are on your feet. By doing so, you will be able to stay calm and not lifting up your feet whenever the fishes swim by. Oh! by the way, the fishes seemed to be more interested with my right foot than the left. I wonder why

It was a hot, humid Sunday afternoon. Seriously, I couldn’t think of what else to do except my projects piled up on my desk. Hello! It’s Sunday and I am alone at home. No one to talk to, no one was on msn, not even many mybians were around in the forum. How boring my Sunday is. I walked about the house, checked out the children who were playing at the mini park downstairs, pressing the buttons on the remote control, went back to my desk to finish off some words in my lappy and finally I decided to walk to the fridge. I saw that bottle. A bottle, sealed with black crisp paper, filled with sparkling wine, soft pink in colour. Yes. That’s it! I untwisted the lock and released the stopper. Pop! I heard and I could hear fizzy sound, a perfect start for a glass of sparkling wine. I had a glass, half a glass. I could start working once again, and the taste of the wine? Do I need to say more? 

If you’re looking for a similar wine to have for a lazy afternoon, or for light refreshments, go for this; Jacob’s Creek Sparkling Rose. Always remember, a good wine is not defined by the stars and awards it gets, but it’s how it sinks into your palate. It’s the stars that you give makes it a good one  Cheers!

You see people criticizing our own country every now and then, it is just like a normal routine and you can’t be bothered about it.

Once you step out of the country, it’s a different feeling altogether. When you leave home, that’s the last thing you wanna do, and that’s the last thing you wanna hear. If it is done to the own people, that is perfectly fine.

However, some people have the guts to put down their own country in front of the own people with foreigners and they have not even been here. That person has the cheeks to say that the own country sucks and tell the foreigners not to go? Seriously, that is something I cannot understand, if one hates the country that much, then just leave the country and I wonder, why is that person in this country now? That is seriously very interesting heh?

Something that it is difficult to understand though, does it feel good or does it feel so almighty by putting the own country’s down? Does it make the person higher and better from the countrymates or rather so-called countrymates? Degrading the own country is degrading that person self, in my very honest opinion.

When you are here, the first thing you wanna do is to leave the country for somewhere else and when you are in a far far away land, you miss home so SO much. Home is always the best and no matter what, you are born, raised and bred here and nothing beats home.

Not everyone agree I know, but … well … cheers

Incredible, isn’t it? I remember writing my first post when I was 16, and that was two years ago. Seemed as though I completely blanked on 07 and skipped right on to 08.

It’s a big year for Kuching, with malls popping up like daisies. How about the rest of Malaysia? Well, I won’t know.

But what I do know is that, girls will have whipped out those PDAs or pen and paper, and scribbled down what is known as resolutions. The definition of resolution is: a resolve or determination. I’m sure we were all so determined to start with the resolutions, and hope for the very best that we stick to it. But let’s face it, there’s a lot of articles concerning New Year Resolutions that have been ignored.

Here’s the recap of what you’ve been taught if you wanna keep your resolutions and actually drop a few pounds, be happier or improve something. Like your singing, for example.

And it’s not that difficult, whereas people try to break it down into sections like, keep your goals realistic, blah blah blah.. I’m going to tell you just one secret method which, I’ve yet to try.

I’m joking! I’m a fresh out of middle school kid, jobless and college-less because I’m waiting to serve National Service (I know! Why in this whole country must it be ME?!) before I head off to University. So what do you do, when you have no aim in your life?

You put aim there.

And you make change. You initiate it. Don’t frigging put off what you can do today. Don’t ever say, ‘But there’s nothing I can do about it!’ and give up. Every resolution is a journey, don’t give up! If you’ve been trying to lose some, coporate exercise into your daily regime. And I mean habits. We’re habitual creatures, if you set exercising on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, you better stick to it, cos sooner or later, it will grow on you.

What seemed hard would become easy in a matter of months.

Don’t look at the word ‘months’ and feel that urge to lie on your couch, watch some tv, eat some chips and yawn! Girls, you’re better than that, get off your arse (Or do you want it to transform into a heffer on it’s own?) and do something!

So what do you want again?

A healthier life?
You start eating healthy and exercising, today!
Better makeup skills?
You start practicing, today! And if you’re ever stuck on something (Or want to try something new), here’s a forum for you.
Superb singing? Dancing? Acting?
You start practicing today!
Great culinary and baking abilities?
I’m not going to say it, cos you probably know what I’m going to say. Eventhough you need the right ingrediants, who said you couldn’t buy them today? And make dinner or desert for your family every Saturday (Fridays work too) night? I’m sure they’d be delighted, and on top of that? You’re doing what you wanted.

And the list goes on.

Remember not to start today and then end today. Realize what you want, go for it, stick to it, and you don’t pray for a miracle to happen, you make it happen!

So, tell me girls, what are your resolutions?

All the best! It’s time for my morning workout…

It’s the time of the year again where everyone bond with everyone, forgive and forget, to enjoy the happy moments together as one. That’s right, it’s Christmas. Staying home for Christmas Eve is the last thing one wanna do. The bells of the jinggles can be heard of, the laughter of people are all around the air. It’s all the joy that people have. Let’s all live in peace and harmony, no war in the name of Christmas. Share the joy, share the happiness, share the laughter and Christmas is all about sharing.
I wanna take this very opportunity to wish everyone a very blessed and merry christmas. Hope what you got from Santa is what you have wished for hehe.

Women are succeeding in the corporate world almost as much as men, and we ladies, definitely do give a men a run for their money. No more MCP nonsense that the wife has to wait at home for hubby, and that hubby is the sole breadwinner of the family.

I have since noticed as well that the trend of empowering ladies are slowly tapping into our fashion sense. We now wear feminine versions of clothes that men used to wear. Some have been existent for a long time, yes, but are now making drastic comeback and appearances in our everyday clothes.

Firstly, the vest:

Even Kate Moss did a vest for her collection for Topshop:

Interesting to see corporate ladies dress up their office wear with the addition of the vest as well.

Then I see the emergence of a feminine-nized version of the bow tie. It usually is just a ribbon around the collar of the shirt, ultra chic when paired with a blazer or coat.

And the latest trend for now, we have the cufflinks:

There’s even a shop in One U now that specializes in cufflinks for both men and women. Plenty of choices, and also a good selection of French cuff shirts.

So ladies, go ahead and ransack your men’s wardrobe and incorporate their items into your dressing, a huge white shirt can be belted into a shirt dress as well.

Pair it with leggings or boots, and you’re set to rock!

Cheers, Lynn

Christmas is here once again, and everybody is also happy because it’s the end of the year. A time to reflect on the year that will soon go by, and a time to make resolutions for the next year.

While some may gloat about their achievements, some may regret the opportunities that they have missed and there are some whom are unsure about what they want to achieve.

December is always a nostalgic month, and the moment we see the existence of our year end bonuses in our bank accounts, it is almost as good as gone in the blink of the eye.

Christmas presents, company dinners, parties to attend, holidays, travels, what else I cannot think of anymore as the more that I type the more I get scared.

I myself have not done my Christmas shopping yet, and I think I will usually go run out at the last minute to buy some wine and tie a ribbon around it and wa-la! My Christmas present for the occasion. This year The Body Shop offers some really nice looking (and affordable) gift packs. So I think they will receive a huge share of my bonus as I run in to get my girlfriends gifts.

I personally feel that most of the fun during festive seasons as such would be the parties and events that we have to attend. Are you often the life of the party or do you usually sit around and chat with a few friends that you know? Go mingle around! If you are the latter, it’s better to know more people at the end of the day.

Just remember, girls, to always walk and stand straight. It creates a much more confident silhouette and your holiday muffin tummy doesn’t show as much

The easiest way to get someone talking is about themselves. Everybody loves to talk about themselves, and as often it may be a bore, you might be surprised at the end of the day of what you discover about the other party. Ask them questions about how do they know the host, what do they do, or complement someone on their dressing, accessories, hairdo etc. Take it easy and add some humor if you want to, but don’t be pushy. Nothing is more a turn-off than someone that tries too hard, so you really don’t want yourself to be known as that.

If you’re the hostess or you know the hosts and they’re too busy, offer a hand to help them out with their friends or with the work around the house. If you need to help people break the ice cos everyone is sitting down doing nothing, then introduce people you know to each other if they haven’t known each other yet. Introduce others with a simple or thoughtful remarks, or if they have something in common, all the better. For instance,

“Jill, meet Jane. Jane is in the events industry and she goes to California Fitness every Tuesday and Friday nights. Jill is an advertising and promotions exec with The Body Shop and she swears by yoga to keep her beautiful figure”.

Then you just dabble a bit here and there to keep their mutual interests alive, and move on to introduce more people among each other.

What if you’re stuck in a conversation that is as dull as dishwater, or with someone that’s rude, or annoying and obnoxious and you’re absolutely dying to get out of it? Try a subtle way of releasing yourself from the torture, but do so in all gracefulness. Say that you really need to use the ladies (even if you don’t, just go in there and powder your nose or touch up your lipstick) and when you come out, make sure you head in the opposite direction of the disastrous talker and engage yourself quickly in a conversation with someone else. Otherwise you can make excuses that you haven’t eaten, or you need a drink, or you saw someone you know across the room, then cut and run for your life!

Whatever you do this holiday season, always drink responsibly and remember that parties are to go meet people and have fun, so do enjoy yourself. If you go with an open heart and an eye for entertainment, you will be sure to have fun.

Cheers, Lynn

“Do you have facebook?”

A simple question that can be asked by girls and guys to people whom they’ve just met. Not as in-your-face as asking for your number or name card, but subtle enough to let them know that you want to keep in touch with one another.

And, on the other end, when he/she asks you for your facebook account, you’re more inclined to tell it to them more often rather than not.

But…when they add you, and you see their name pop up on your Friends Request, you can browse through their page to see their interests, favourite movies, yada yada yada, and then decide if they’re a freak or not and if you really want to approve their friend request.

Then you can see if they’re single, what have they been up to? More yada yada yada. Invasion of privacy at a new level? Maybe. But, instead of telling what do you like in person to them, they might go, “Oh ya I know, I read it on your facebook!”. Anyone who actually takes notice as such to your facebook profile is definitely interested in you.

A subtle poke can maybe even lead to dinner.

But for the love of God, please do not going around adding people that you do not know (or what I call “collecting” friends) just to show that you know a lot of people, and have an unbelievably high friend count (what? so it shows that you’re more popular then you actually are?).

My friends and I have another pet peeve. Those profile that has so many applications on it that practically makes your browser hang when you try to open their profile (no life ah?). Again, it doesn’t show how popular you are. A few tasteful applications reflects a lot on your personality. Applications are also a chance to show your interests and have some fun, not exactly to flood the page with pictures of gifts that you recently received. Again, this is all IMHO.

But then again, the beauty of community driven websites as such will continue it’s surge and become part of our daily lives. And yes, don’t hesitate to initiate the facebook question if you have a fancy towards someone. Then you can always keep in touch that way.

Cheers, Lynn

High time to put some life back into this blog. Veering away from the typical posts on fashion and cosmetics, let’s talk about clubbing instead. And also the perils of clubbing.

As usual, we have the molesters, thieves, gropers, drunkards, druggies and more. But as girls, what do we hate the most? Getting groped and molested, yes.

A friend of mine who owns a few clubs in KL once told me, that it is a pity that most girls get molested and just keep quiet about it. “Tell us”, he said. “So that we can beat the living daylight out of the pervert!”

Seriously, it is your right that you can alert the bouncers that the particular guy groped you, and they will take action against him, and you, my dear girl, can take out your popcorn and watch the show of what he has brought upon himself.

You may ask, “Sure boh?”

And I can assure you that it is real. Would you like to go to a club that’s known for their patrons who will “eat your tofu”? No, and neither do most girls. Hence, if you own the club, would you want to make sure that such a tag does not get stuck to your club?

Know your rights hunnies. Know that it is your right to alert the bouncers that you have just been molested and that they should kick the pervert out.

Don’t worry, everyone will be on *your* side

Cheers, Lynn
