no longer virgin

With this title, I strongly believe that more perverts and strangers are lurking around this blog. Why, cause the statement itself caused a lot of peeps to be curious.

I reserved a session of brazilian wax and IPL (Intense Pulse Lightning) for both myself and a friend of mine to Strip, Curve on Sat eve of CNY's eve. Brazilian wax is a type of hair removing method for the unseen area. In this case, it will be 'the muff'. IPL is another permanent method electric current is used to destroy the hair pores. Brazilian wax take about 30 - 35 mins and IPL is about 15 mins. So my friend went in for her session while I'm looking around the shop. It's made out of carton box material for the wall with a cement floor. Very bare and interesting industrial concept for a shop like this.

My name was called, and the strip therapist lead me to a room.

She said, "Remove your pants and panty". She is a lot friendlier then what I'm trying to portray here.

She left the room. Obediently I followed her instruction and laid on the bed covered myself.

She showed me a packet of personal hygiene wax pack, where the Stripette ( that's what they call their customers) will have their personal wax pack containing some cottom buds and some waxs strips to use. It's individual packed for hygiene purposes.

After examined my muff she said, "It's too short to have brazillian wax. Furthermore, you had been shaving and when you wax it will give you a slight pain. The pain will be slightly more than the usual due to the thickness of the hair".

She added," Your skin is too dried and wrinkled. It's like a 40 years old rather than my age."

My expression was horrific... -_- Like wtf ....

She explained further over cleaning will caused the skin to be dried and wrinkled. Well, I had been using feminine wash for quite some time for cleaniness and now she told me I over cleaned. It's not recommended to use it daily, however I can use it during the time of month. Washing too much is another cause of overdrying. Gosh, I'm just trying to be clean and I am too clean!?!??!Ridiculous, yes?


Well, She recommended me to do IPL instead it would not be to harsh on my skin.. plus it would be painless.

Agreeing to her suggestion, noting the price of IPL is so expensive

Changing to another room, where the IPL machine is located. Here I am laying on the bed waiting for the therapist to do her job.

She shaved all the hairs. Then, she used a piece of steel to place at the area. The steel plated is very cold against my skin. According to the therapist it is to numb the area so that I don't feel the current when she is doing IPL on my muffs... She did it repeatedly. I can feel the current on my skin when the utensil is working. Short current lightly bolted across the skin, it's not painful....
According the therapist, the hair will drop only 50% and to some individuals it would be more. I would need to come again for another round so that it work but looking at the price point, it's really expensive.

IPL needs 6th sessions to make sure that pores are death and no more hair growth and a yearly maintenance.

Updates: After 10 days and more, hair can even be plucked/ pulled out easily by fingers. No tweezers or what nots needed. It's fun.. hehehe
Now hair is growing...

Shall I go for another round??

dream wedding or dream off!!

Both of my favourites actress are on screen together! Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Bride Wars is the usual chick flick which I won't be doing a review about the movie. It caught me thinking. Normally for a gal, she should had or already had and knew what she wanted for her dream wedding. For me, eventhough I have been living on this earth for 31 years (in another 1 1/2 months) I had never thought of what I want for my dream wedding!

Surprise? Yeah, that's me. I could not imagine myself in a bridal gown or even marrying to someone at all. I enjoyed looking at bridal magazine though. I would consider myself as confident elegant young woman in reality do not have the slightest idea of what I want for my dream wedding. I know clock is ticking and the shares are declining....

Huh! Take That! *Slap at forehead*

Maybe it's time for me to figure it out...

3rd day with Herbalife

This morning my weight is 65kg. Very motivating, eventhough yesterday's nite was heavy dinner. Too much of temptation when you stayed home. Bottles and bottles of CNY cookies lying on the table calling out to me.. "Come, come, eat me, eat me!!"

Cookies are plentiful during this time of the year, not to mentioned my favourite: bak kua!!


Yesterday, I managed to drink 1 bottle of water during working hours... going to toilet too many times is troublesome.



I almost forgot that I can eat fruits if I have temptation to eat. Totally forgot about it till yesterday, well I have to stock up more and more fruits now....




Food intake for the day
Breakfast: 1 mandarin orange + F1
Mid Breakfast: 1 Teamix
Lunch: 1 local orange + F1
Dinner: less than 1/2 bowl rice with meat, vege and tofu + 1 bowl soup + some popcorn

Day 2

So call very very strict diet... The temptation is so much when I am staying with my parents. The fridge are full of junk and plenty food to eat. I believe, if I do not have money to buy food it can last me for the whole month.

My weight for today is 66.5kg.

After confirmation with my friend, she was taking only F1 for breakfast and dinner. Cheaper too. Plus must drink a lot a lot of water. So I'm targeting to drink two bottle of water in the office. Keeping my finger crossed...

My plan is to take F1 + F3 for breakfast and F1 alone for dinner. After finishing F3, I will just continue with F1. Very very expensive meal replacement plan.


My food intake for today:
Breakfast : 1 small bowl of Porridge with groundnut and meat + 4 pieces of fritters
Lunch: F1 + F3
Dinner: 2 small bowl of porridge with groundnut and meat + 4 pieces of fritters + 1 1/2 big piece of bak kua + 2 mandarin oranges

First Day of Herbalife

After a long break of Chinese New Year and just food, food and food.. My weight had just balooned to 67kg. Drastic I would say. I am starting my first day of Herbalife. It a meal replacement plan, somewhat similar with Cambridge Diet. I was very successful with Cambridge Diet, where my weight went down to 59.5kg lowest even without exercise. When I stop Cambridge Diet, my weight slowly increase back to 65kg. I would said my official weight without dieting and exercise but with eating with care can only manage to sustain at 65kg.

So officially, I am on very very strict diet today Day 1 : 2nd February 2009.


So my Body Mass Index (BMI) is
= My Weight/ (My Height x My Height)
=67/(1.65x1.65)
=24.61

A healthy weight falls between 20 and 25 on the index and this show that I am almost overweight.

My short term and long term goals are as following

GOAL 1 short term = I would like to be in size L weighinng at 62kg in 8 weeks
GOAL 2 long term = I would like to be in size M weighing at 52kg in 6 months

Let's keep my finger crossed.

Now, I am getting confused. I read on the internet, that with weight loss should only consumed F1 and not F1 and F3 together. Only at a later stage the need to consume F3, this is when you need to build protein.

And I just took F1 and F3 together for lunch. I'm getting confused now....


My food intake for the day
Breakfast : 2 piece of small piece of bak kua & 4 tsp of anlene milk and 4 tsp of oats.
Lunch : 2 tbs of F1 + 1 tbs of F3
Mid Afternoon : 3 pcs of suan suan + 1 glass of teamix
Dinner : 1/2 bowl rice, vege, 2 pc chic meat, 1 bowl of soup + 1 1/2 big piece of bak kua (thanks to a friend) + 8 pcs of cookies
