Mr Sunshine 2010

I was vain enough to enter into the Mr.Sunshine Search 2010 at KlangParade. I won't enter alone was being push by few friends and the thought keep coming me.. to try just for fun. Why not? just for fun, I not gonna compete to win, I can try but I just wanna had a good time. How it started in my heads is a the sponsor from Glenn Davis saw me helping in an event as photographer. He then just asked me," hey you wanna join for Mr.sunshine?" 

Cutting the story short. YES I AM IN! I was a bit of regret thought about the experience, but hey.."Bad Experience Is A Good Experience" I did learn something from a cost haha. I did come with a speeches with my heard, and learn a song for the talent show. But... I cannot say this is a best event, it wasn't so organize and no efficiency, I don't to commend much about it, I help Klang Parade organize a couples of event before i know. But what I wanted to comment is.. the PA system. One word... sucky... the mid stand cannot even hold it properly. I was singing.. the mic is dropping further down and down.. it make me out of focus and nervous.

Before the event started, we got our sponsored shirts(I got to wear Black shirt with short jeans).We got hairstylist, they are indeed expert. I love the hair they styled for me. We also had last minute catwalk choreography by Malaysian model KS Tan. who taught us walk a few rounds, gosh he was serious and never smile at all. There are 16 contestant in total. I am contestant number 9. First round is to "Introduction self and answer why you are qualify for Mr.Sunshine" but the host didn't tell us, so most of us lost 30marks.

Everyone did well on stage except me, but my friends still support me all the way, I didn't drop down and cry, but it makes me gain something from bad. I learn something, I glad I had it coming. I met a lot of people from there, gain a couples of facebook friends. Well it is just a another for me.

First Facial...Fainted


After having 3 sleepless night, My face look dull,dry,old,wrinkles, and lost its shine. My eye swollen, the egg bag you can almost see it's creepy purples vain around. I turned into a old caveman. So I ask my friends about how facial was like, they just tell me with very simple explanation, "Pain when the squeeze the pimples out" so i was like," Oh"

Feeling no direction, I book the time in Herbaline at CentroKlang with my secondary friends who working there. A quick chat with her and she suggested I should take Package Rm88 + Rm32(eye treatment), so I took it, a quick cup of tea, provided by the hospitality services. I gonna tell you guys the step in details and how i felt along the way.
First Step: Curious with impression
Walking in the beautiful hall way with amazing architectural designed; into a room to wash my leg with Sea Salt, given a brush to brush my smelly feet and romantic candles lights around. My feeling is," Hey this is better than I thought, nice place and nice service"

Second Step: Impression with wonders
Dried my leg, walked into a pillar, to take 3 inhale and exhale from a herbal aroma therapy. Which said to help me relax my mind. My feeling," Sure... why not, I come here for some time to relax and pamper myself ^^"

Third Step: Getting excited
Walking into a small room, it was like wow, I have my own private room to keep my stuff. First thing the lady asked me to do is change into their singlet, I was like," okay...." Then I did, A green sexy singlet, to bad I don't have camera with me. Then she asked me to lie down, start to give me some facial massages, and It feels good~~

Fourth step: Getting started
After applying some unknown cream, the lady used the machine to cleansed my face from dead cell skin I think. The sound from the tools she used to scratch off my dead skin, it is very sharp, It felt like dentist digging into my ear drum. Then cream my face again with other many cream unknown to me.

Fifth Step: "Thousand Needles"
This is the part that I really wanna express! I can't believe I am going through it~ The lady apply some cream on my face than use a lights to brightly shine my face, even with my eye blocked with napkins, but i still can see the lights. After a while, the lady start poking between my eyes, It was painful, but endurable, then forehead, poke.. poke.., squeeze.. squeeze.. Especially when I have phobia of needles. The pain kills me physically and mentally. But I can hold it... The process went from forehead to side faces, was worse.. It keep on poking and poking.. the needles was sooo darn painful! And the other side of face.... under my mouth and THEN........The Worse Nightmare begins only now...... the NOSE............. My conscious," Hell! NO! not the NOSE!" The lady told me to get prepare, and..

Nose only: (conscious speaking)
First poke: Ouch...
no 10: .................
no 25:......someone... please help me.....
no.40:.....God?... Please make it stop....I cannot take it anymore...
no.60:..Damn IT!!!!!!
no.70....How did Woman endure this!? Tell me HOW!?
no.75:...(lady?.....can u stop that? Can I quit?.. Can I say no?)
no.80: Oh damn..oh damn... Oh DAMN!!!
no.90: Please....... I really cannot take it.....anymore........
no.100: I am sooo REGRET!!
no.111:$#%$#%#@%
no.120: it is finished.....................(I wish I can say," I am numb d..." but it was not"


Overall it is good to try... but I still cannot solve the mystery of  "Woman The Queen Of Pain" on the process of Thousand Needles. Did you know: The thousand needles process wasn't at once, but ONE BY ONE. you all go home and imagine. But after the process, of course they give me some treatment and gentle massage on my face to comfort me..... TT It works, I really need it. Next time will I go again? Probably haha

Finish Diploma!!

Finally the time comes, I thought It will never reached here, because it is just to long. Studying a course and stay in a college with no windows for 3 years... wow.. I made it out haha. I came into here at July 2007, and now I finished it at July 2010, total 3 years rather than 2.5 years. Reason is when I stop one semester to go back to Australia. 

The last 2 exam wasn't tough but aiming to get grade A is very tough, "Human Resource Management" and "Organization Behaviour" 2 subject only but reading and memorize is not my thing. I pray God will guide his way through me, I also pray I able to continue degree somewhere in Australia with different course, I don't feel like doing Business anymore. I want something which more practical in learning rather than just reading from books. I aiming my way there ^^ (let you guys know if I ever made it somehow)

I used to imagine the graduation of diploma will happens, now It is happening but wasn't exactly same as my imagination. One thing for sure, I am gonna miss this place(not because of college,honestly) but this place is where I met friends, hang out, up and low with all my friends and lecturer. Bad things happens, but most of it are great things. This place I regretted some, but benefit from it too. Friends it is the hardest to let go, but everyone has to move on sometimes, I sure am going to feel sad to leave them here. Thinking about next time when I meeting them will be very surprising, maybe marry? kids? job? boyfriend? girlfriend? other unexpected thingy haha. I eager to see what they will bring on them self in the future. I pray is all greats things, I love to see them doing what they love.

But I have to say.. I am prepared for the next step; Yes I am fearful, yes I have doubt but I still got to move on. To all my friends!!(In College;lecturer and friends)  I am proud to say, I am glad to know you all :)

PS: suddenly Miley Cyrus; The Climb was in my head. haha... (T.T) sob sob... I feel sad to let it go

also kenny teo just posted a video on youtube after 4 years haha.

Melaka~laka~laka


Was dragging my feet to this trip, I was too tired to go anywhere due to few days keep going out and spend less time at home was very tiring and costly. I wasn't into this trip at all, but promise is a promise. That I make it my last trip with the gang ^^
                                        That me with the "HOLIDAY" bought them wear them


Khang Lin text me in 6am in the morning to ask if i am awake, I replied," I feel like crying d... I am soo tired..." haha nevertheless I was stressing myself for a cold shower and the honk was heard, Jeff and Khang lin was here,hopped on the car with Wilson, and stop complaining I thought to myself. Reached Kim'z home, and as usual we have to waited for her -.- ish.....


The journey was 2 hours of driving with Jeff's Honda, Tol and Petrol cost about Rm100 then divided by 5 person. I am so glad to have a friend like Jeff willingly drive us up for a trip. Reached there about 10am just on time for breakfast at a famous Hainan Chicken rice shop, ok la.... not as good as I expected to be with its reputation.


                            Click on it to see the interesting words



Explore the land melaka kingdom now, now is full of stall, food, and Interesting Arts gallery with interesting design. I got a nice necklace which only Rm8, I really have to thanks wilson for that. After a long walk, I felt my jeans in a state of suana, i cannot take it! The weather was too hot. So what happen is... we went into a fashion house! And I bought 1 tight BabyMilo shirt with a Sexy Hawaiian pants haha.



We went for a walk again and I rushing for a nature call, and found a public toilet was sooo clean. Unexpected, Klang is sooo another world haha. Anyway We had a chill out from the sun at The Gallery for coconut drink(suit my new appearance) and for another sunny walk to find the famous,"Nyonya Restaurant" it is a bit Pricey, we just looking at outside with no least interest, the staff/manager just shut the door and said," Now we are close" What a RUDE! Ish... I won't recommend anyone for discrimination and rude service to others. So we again take another LONG SUNNY walk to find the Popiah and found a few nice thing to eat. One is the Kuih, which really nice. And Durian puff with also Durian Ice cream.



The popiah is a long long queue.... We waited for 45 minutes, but it is worth! Nice, big and tasty! just a bit oily. And the last trip is to the famous SATAY CELUP! Thanks goodness we reach before 5pm, just nice for a table. It doesn't took long for another long queue for others. The day trip is indeed worth it, just the hot sun gave us a bit sunburn to Jeff and dark skin to all of us
