LWM

I went to LWM with Grace today. She is seriously looking for slimming package and I just tag along to kay poh. They are giving out free first trial and guaranteed 4cm-16cm lose after 1 try. I am interested in this. Guaranteed wor ... I want to "chak" the "jiu pai" la. Hahaha.

The first impression was really bad. We waited for more than 15 minutes to see the consultant. We have already made appointment so I don't know what time management is that. Btw they have us separated so that we cannot talk, cannot discuss and no chance to turn them down.

So they took my body measurement which obviously looking really bad and really need a slimming package. The slimming treatment sounds nice. So I did the free treatment and it was pretty good. And then I found out how does the guaranteed-cm-lose works. The first time they take your measurement before the treatment, the measurement is all rounded up. Like 32, 50, 80. Then after treatment, the measurement become 31.2, 49.6, 79.3. So add up all the small difference for the whole body, I managed to lose 8cm after the treatment. Not bad? I think this is a trick. :P

After the treatment then it's time for selling. Grace signed up for the programme and managed to bargain something good. I am not interested to sign up at all. It cost 4K plus and I can use that money to get a lot of small electrical goods. At first they push the package, it didn't work then they push the membership. It didn't work then they push the RM 500 deposit. Again it didn't work then they push the RM 500 refundable deposit. At last, they said put the RM 500 refundable deposit under Grace's account and I don't have to pay. What? I thought she said must put cash deposit to lock in blah blah blah and must generate receipt blah blah blah and company policy blah blah blah???

Their sales strategy and training are good. They are really well trained. So if you intend to join but cannot decide which centre and package, then 80% you will be convinced by them. I do not intend to join, I play2 only. I actually regretted to go for the trial. The feeling of being push is really bad coz I felt that they cornered me. Don't like it at all.

So .. don't play play lah. Want then only go for it! :P

Hair do 2

So I went back to Centro yesterday wanted to ask Celine how to style my hair. Then while waiting for her I read a hair styling magazine and have an idea. I think I will look better if I make my hair shorter. She thinks that my length is better but I insist. So she did it for me and now I love my new hair style!!!!!!!

Hair do

Yesterday I went to Centro Hair Salon at Gardens to do my hair. It's a nice and comfortable salon. They have wi-fi for you to go online and I think it's a nice idea coz hair do really take long time. You don't have to waste your time. For me, since I didn't have my laptop the boss was kind enough to offer me her DVD player and a stack of DVD for me to choose. I chose a HK drama series and watch 4 episodes there ... so you can imagine how long I spent there ....

Damage is pretty bad. Such a nice place and good service, sure more expensive lah! But compare to the salon I go at Pandan Indah, this one really nicer. PI one always meng-wet-kan my face when they wash my hair :S Then their towels really smell lor. So you pay for the service and quality ... but for the hair styling quality .. I don't know yet.

I don't like my new hair style. It looks weird. I am not used to it at all. Sasa said I need to wax it and make it look messy. I will try later .. if masih tak boleh, then I have to go back to Centro and ask them to teach me ...

Btw the smell for hair perming is always un-pleasant. But surprisingly this one smells good. The boss did tell me her product smell very nice. Indeed.

Image class

I am really amazed at myself. How can one have so many clothes but only 1 blouse and 2 skirts are matching my color?

I attended image class by Jill Lowe today. It's on color, style and body today. Tomorrow it will be on makeup. This is a 2 days course and yes, it's very expensive.

My color is autumn-spring. Meaning no black. No blue-based colors. Tomorrow we need to dress up to our best according to our color and we can bring clothes for her to tell us if it will look nice on our body. The thing is, I have only 1 set of baju that can pass the "test" (I think lah). So you will probably see me wearing that all the time if I pass the "test" tomorrow. Wahahaha.

Jill Lowe has her own brand of makeup and skin care too. She will recommend the colors of the makeup too. So we need to bring $$$ tomorrow. Good business eh? But I think she is good. She don't emphasis on your outer beauty only, she also want us to carry our good inner beauty. She commented that I am the "chou lou" type so I need to change ... can I talk softly? Can you hear me ah? Hahahahahahaha.

As for the body, obviously I am the curve type. She also adviced me on some problem for my back bone. She knows I got back pain!! I really think she knows her stuff. ;)

I am excited for tomorrow. Before going for the class I think I am okay. I don't have superstar taste but at least I don't memalukan you as my friend. But after attending the class ... gosh everything that I have been doing, IT'S ALL WRONG! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Lorenzo

To all Lorenzo fans,

I am just blogging on what I think and what I feel. If any of my comments offended you, please forgive me.

如有雷同，纯粹巧合.

More and more contractors

I met up with 2 contractors today. Got 1 quotation d and the other one will be ready only by weekend. Generally it's hard to decide coz A might be cheaper in this and B is cheaper in the other.

Basically no one is cheaper than the other. They all have their own "strength" and "weaknesses" in terms of price. So how ah? Pick the best from each, and engage them all for different stuff kah?

Are you pregnant?

A question I tend to get very often lately. I think I am putting on weight, and since I just got married, people keep asking me or my mum or lai lai if I am pregnant.

I think this can be very sensitive question but I am used to it now. I used to have friends who put on weight and we suspect she is pregnant. But we don't dare to ask coz if you ask and if the person is not then you are telling her she is so fat till she looks like she is pregnant. How do you think she will feel?

But a fact is a fact. I am putting on. To all my friends who read my blog. I am not going to get pregnant this year. So don't bother asking .. you know the answer .. ;)

Come to think of it, will this motivate me to work harder at the gym? :D

Long weekend

We just spent our long weekend to shop for the house. On Saturday we went to Ikea and we like a dining table there. It's very cheap but it seems only me and darling like it. The rest prefer square. But it's OUR dining table! So .. :P

We also met up with a contractor who look super blur. Like he just woke up like that. The best thing is, he didn't bring measuring tape. If I didn't bring mine to measure for furnitures, what is he there for without his measuring tape huh?

On Sunday we went to hunt for wardrobe and kitchen. We went to Lifestyle Kitchen, Maxima, and etc etc. Apparently shops in Kota Damansara give us cheaper quote than shops in TTDI. And I was so surprised to find out a simple wardrobe can cost more than RM 10,000. For a wardrobe? Hello?

I am feeling quite miserable coz I have not found any contractors or shops or person who I feel I can trust and engage him. Is it that hard? You need to have a good feeling with the person/shop, and then the price is what you can accept. It's all about money ...

On Monday the person who does electrical point and aircond point came to see the apartment and quote. It's going to cost RM 4,000. Someone ask me oh include aircond is it? Lei jau siong lor. For the points and installation only!!!!

See such a small thing also cost 4K d. Then lai lai wants to get another guy to quote. If we go on and on like this, I think we are going to move in by .... Christmas. Or new year perhaps ...

The noon time programme was more pleasant. We went to LDP perabot mall to see furnitures. We were very down at first. Coz it's all so ugly. Then we have our hope back after like 5 shops. Price is acceptable and we like the design too. We have a very yim chim taste for bed frame. The lorenzo type is so lou tou, and the wood type is not nice. We finally find one that we like at enoma collection. The japanese style!!! ;) By the way we find Lorenzo's furnitures are very big and bulky. And of course I don't have to mention .. it's super expensive.

I have another contractor coming tomorrow. We quite like him. Hopefully this is the one. I am sien d. I am like aunty buying stuff at the market ... look all the stalls, just to get the cheapest deal. What to do? 钱不够用!!

迷思

世上有许许多多的事，令我觉得迷失。

比如说最近及今早的事。有个人拿了些东西出来，说明不够当场的人分，但这是每个人都会有用到的东西。于是大家冲上前去抢。我不是喜欢去抢的人，我觉得人是应该会排队会礼让的动物。结果每次这样的情形下，我都争不到那样东西。

于是我想，是我应该去改变吗？我也应该像大家一样去争先恐后地抢吗？那我不就是成为了我最不喜欢的那种人了吗？

适者生存，人不为己天诛地灭，手快有手慢无。。。

到底要不要抢？

My apartment

Two weeks already, the interior designer has yet to come out with anything. Since he is doing it for free, we cannot be rushing him or questioning him. Last Saturday we had another contractor to give us some ideas and quote for us. Then I call him up yesterday for the quotation and he asked "You so kan cheong meh?" Really cha dou. Is business that good lately?? If you want a quotation from me, I can give it to you latest tomorrow. Or this contractor is very popular? :D

The good thing is that yesterday we met up with Teong Wee and Ai Nee. They came to see the apartment and contributed a lot of ideas. Teong Wee just renovated his semi D and it's very very nice. He designed it on his own by referring to lots of magazine. So we took his magazine, and his idea. Ai Nee has this talent to draw out the layout and ideas using pencil and ruler. It's a 2D picture but good enough for us to visualise it. Cool! Btw Ai Nee is a chemistry lecturer, nothing to do with art.

I am glad we finally have an idea on how the apartment will look like. This weekend we will go and check out wardrobe coz we still have one very "kick sau" problem. You see our master bed room is quite small. We have a wardrobe but it's only good enough for bajus and no space for makeup table. There may be space for makeup table in the room itself, but it crashes with feng sui pulak. You know I don't care. But all others do. So .. I am geram but again I try to compromise ...

Meanwhile, nothing to be done till Sat.

我 最 爱 的 银 行

不 知 怎 的， 我 会 选 择 在 这 个 最 大 雨 的 时 候 出 去。 整 个 下 午 及 晚 上 雨 时 大 时 小， 我 就 偏 偏 在 那 个 时 候 去 银 行。 结 果， 身 湿 了， 钱 却 没 有 进 到。

这 间 小 小 的 银 行， 我 十 次 去， 有 九 次 machine 是 坏 的。 可 能 每 次 我 去 都 是 晚 上 或 周 末 吧。Peak time, 而 且 没 有 support. 问 题 是， 今 天 是 限 期 啊！ 就 这 样 。。 我 的 底 花 了。。 就 这 样， 我 要 付 更 高 的 利 息 了。。

可 幸 的 是， 还 有 一 次 付 款， 我 就 可 以 摆 脱 这 间 银 行 带 给 我 的 恶 梦 了。 下 一 个 月， 我 就 可 以 取 消 它 了！ 年 费 特 别 贵， 不 能 做 interbank transfer, 只 因 为 它 是 card center， 不 是 银 行。

我 最 爱 的 银 行。。。 dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang!
