Felixia's HAIR : What saved it?

2012-02-23T19:47:00.000+08:00

My hair that gets shorter by the day...another 2 inches gone.

LOL.

TOTALLY loveeeeeee it.

Got it done at my favorite salon, number76style!

Their styles are what I've been looking for. Very Shibuya feel.

Thanks to them, my hair became more lightweight and bouncy (yet not heavily layered), instead of being overgrown and bushy and plain boringly long...like my previous almost waist length hair.

I think it suits me perfectly. HEHE.

So this time was my second time having done their UltraSonic Iron Treatment...which used a cool blue-lighted iron that do not damage my hair further with heat like other types of treatment do.

As my hair has long been burdened by constant bleachings and stylings and backcombs due to my nature of work, this is highly recommended for me and my dry brittle hair.

Thank God of their NO-HEAT treatment!

After the 2nd treatment today, the ends of my hair has become really smooth and not as tangled as before. *whee!!!*

Steve teaching me how to do the heart shaped loose braids that is one of my favorite styles.

Will teach you girls in my upcoming videos...when I master the technique. ^^

The final styling...

Ta-da!

*winks*

Me and my stylist, Steve, doing some monkey faces. LOL.

Stay tuned here at my blog for more of my hair tips, stylings and secrets.

'til then,

Taiwan - Day 3 (Intestines and Grilled "Dildo")

2012-02-18T04:46:00.000+08:00

So...here I go on the third day of my stay in Taiwan.

IF you think a boat cruise on the "Love River" is gonna be something romantic, I'm afraid I have to blow your candles off in one harsh blow.

No b***dy such thing.

SERIOUSLY.

Unless your romance definition is a boat ride with 2 dozen other passengers in broad daylight and with a boat tour guide who speaks on a loudspeaker on a boat that brings you on a U-turn trip under some bridge with ridiculous horoscope signs-shaped light bulbs' arrangement.

I don't mean to sound so mean...but I ain't gonna spend RM80 on a 15 mins boat ride under some bridges and being "serenaded" with loudspeaker.

Nevertheless...it was a cool and chilling breezy ride dusted with some sun set scenery.

Just to comfort my disappointment of not being romanced. LOL.

So while the boat tour guide talked, I camwhored.

Thank God for the generous cooling breeze.

Next, was a food trip down Liohe/Liuhe market.

Me standing in the middle of the road...way before it was fully closed only for pedestrians. Oops.

Walked around to look for food.

The seafood section...

The prawns were actually grilled ALIVE. How cruel... =(

The crab's most meaty part...ze CLAWS. Yum!

Saw some creatively fusion-ed food too.

Such as this, spaghetti bun or something. Double carb. LOL.

Then I ran into something more...exotic. @.@

A restaurant specialized only in snake meat dishes.

=.='''

And things started to get more intestine...err, I mean, interesting...

INTERNAL ORGANS WITH MEEHOON/MEE...OMG.

MOREEEEEE INTERNAL STUFFS...!

*faints*

And so I finally ended up with...

...their famous Papaya Milk...

...AND...

...a normal Dorayaki instead of some animal's lung and stomach.

At night, at Fengchia Market...I bumped in something I think I would like...

"Grilled mochi".

Sticks of mochi being grilled.

And somehow...one of them turned into this...

Now you know which is my "Grilled Dildo" yet?

*giggles*

I chose salty seaweed for my mochi flavoring...and it tasted awesome!

Definitely a must-try!

Stay tuned to find out my 4th day in Taiwan. *winks*

'til the next post,

XOXO

Taiwan - Day 2 (Getting my milk!)

2012-02-18T01:16:00.000+08:00

Holiday.

Holiday...

HOLIDAY?

There ain't any holidays when you follow a tour with 30 other people!

With wake up calls at dawn as early as 5am!

And so...I had my first experience. LOL.

Me with a try-to-keep-my-eyes-open face.

Our first activity, was to experience the Taiwan's version of bullet train, the HSR (High Speed Railway).

A 4 hours' journey...became a 20 mins' one. =)

Dragged mommy to camwhore as well! Tee-hee.

Got my ticket to Taipei!

So while waiting for the train I walked around with my friends to explore a little...

...and saw this.

This pot of herbal eggs and pots of "look-look" style of food...sold in their 7-Eleven!

@.@

Y MALAYSIA 7-11 NO SATAY, SUP TULANG OR LOOK-LOOK?

Very fusioned 7-11.

Things we'll NEVER get to see in 7-11 here in Malaysia.

Took picture at the entrance too.

My face said, "I was here."

Haha. Typical tourist's pose.

Heheh!

I've got a ticket for a ride.

The train. Gotcha!

After 20 mins sharp...we arrived at the Taipei station, and were brought around to places with signboards I couldn't read.

Sad, eh?

This is the type of dude you could actually wobble your boobies at and still he would be expressionless and remain with unblinking eyes.

Right after we were done walking aimlessly around the place, we were brought to lunch.

Our main course...soupy dumplings.

For 8 people, of course.

Then we had special fried rice with special species of shrimps called the "Sakura Shrimp".

=.=

Still a shrimp to me. HAHAHAHAH.

The tiny shrimp. =.=

The most tasteless and bland ever dessert I had ever had.

I MISS MALAYSIA!

Our next destination, was a flower field.

Didn't really excite me.

Oops...stood too far away. LOL.

I know my pose here is really outdated...but hey, I did well for a tourist's pose!

Pardon my reluctant face.

Then...next stop...the strawberry and tomato farm.

Hate tomatos...so I stole some strawberries dipped in chocolate from Mandy's cup.

*evil chuckles*

Extremely sweet and mini sized strawberries. Yum!

And finally...we get to check in at our room for the night at Flying Cow Ranch. =)

One of the best thing in our itinerary.

Check out the view from my room...such fresh and green scene...

Absolutely adore the fresh air there...!

Were brought around the ranch...and saw lots of farm animals.

The rabbits!

The lambs!

Feeding the goats!

...and milking the poor old cow!

LOL.

I didn't squeeze hard enough...so I didn't get any milk out from the erm, milk bag.

Even bought some milk cookies back!

After the guided tour was over, we decided to head back to molest the bunnies.

HEHEH.

Cutesy bunny...

Bunny and Bunny.

Then I saw something spectacular...

See this guy here???

Kalah Justin Bieber punya hairstyle!

Coolest bunny with attitude ever!

Took us almost an hour to catch it...

...and then he's mine for a mere few minutes.

Poor thing. LOL.

Saw something erotic too...

...HUMPING BUNNIES!!!

@.@'''

Walked back to our rooms to get ready for dinner and passed by Heaven.

Heaven of Instant Noodles, that is.

We even had extra activities upon dinner...

...we had to make our own dessert.

Me beating the ingredients together...well, at least I tried to.

*blushes*

I shaped mine into a Heart shape.

Felixia, the hopeless romantic.

*chokes*

After 15 minutes of steaming...TA-DA!

Done and ready to eat. =)

Don't even ask me what dessert was that...

My friend told me it was made of hay powder.

O.O

Oh my God.

I just ate hay!!!

Stay tuned for day 3 to see if the hay turned me into a goat.

'til then,

XOXO

Felixia's 2012 CNY : The Penang Trip

2012-02-17T01:01:00.001+08:00

On the 5th day of Chinese New Year, me and my little family decided to make a random spontaneous trip down to Penang.

A FOOD trip.

Woke up early and had our usual breakfast at our favorite "cha-sat"/ kopitiam...and then...I sleeeeeeeeeeeeept for the next 2 hours throughout the entire journey.

*blushes*

Canwhored before my sleep. LOL.

*shakes head at my vanity*

In the car, I woke up to LUNCH.

The famous Char Kuey Teow!

While waiting...we ate...

...Penang Rojak and Prawn mee!

While waiting for our CKT, we ordered dessert too...

The super-duper yummy ABC with Ice cream topping!

Finally...our main course arrived...

...the oily, high cholesterol YET sinfully delicious CKT!

I am picky. So I picked out all the spring onions. LOL.

Next...we went for our "tea" break.

Another famous Penang food.

The Asam Laksa.

Yes, yes...I am VERY picky.

I picked out every single onions, chilies, mint leaves and other vege (besides cucumber) from my asam laksa.

LOL.

Baru la sedaaaaaapppp!

Due to our continuous lunch and tea...we had to go for an excercise.

So we went up hill to the temple to see...

...this.

Ze giant Kuan Yin statue.

And more vigorous exercise at shopping malls...which I ended up getting only some hairpins.

HEHE.

Oops...couldn't really see the hairpin from this angle though.

Anyway, just looking for an opportunity and excuse to..CAMWHORE!

So after partly digesting our heavy lunch and tea...we went straight for our dinner venue.

Something even heavier.

Western food.

As usual...I ordered my fave type of, erm, "chop"....which is the lamb chop.

Didn't really picked out anything...and I finished almost 90% of my dinner!

Yummy!

Here's the proof.

Lamb chop licked clean to the bones!

We headed back to Ipoh after dinner and I slept alllllllll the way through the 2 hours' journey again.

Oh my...me and my piggy-ness.

*blushes*

Taiwan - Day 1

2012-02-16T21:34:00.000+08:00

Hi there...so after 6 years of working non stop...just being a complete (almost lifeless) workaholic whose only meaning of holidays was my traveling working trips, and waiting for numerous people to say yes to my holiday plans...

...I HAD HAD ENOUGH.

Splashed out almost RM3k and booked a 8D7N package tour with my bestie and off we flew to our holiday destination; Taiwan.

I even splashed out extra almost RM2k for my mum so she could realize her dream holiday to Taiwan as well...and settled her birthday present. =D

Me camwhoring at KLIA.

Me and my beloved Mickey luggage bag. =)

Traveling buddy-cum-roommate-cum-bestie-cum-translator, Mandy

Us and our happy faces!

Bought an early V-day gift for myself at the airport...my first Victoria's Secret perfume set, "Sexy Little Things".

*blushes*

Why don't they have lingeries too, eh?

Tired of camwhoring your own faces?

Try it on your shoes then. Hehe.

Finally...no AA this time...and my luggage bags would come back in one piece now.

*ahem!*

While waiting to board the plane.

*chik-chak!*

What the nerd did on the plane.

Upon reaching Taoyuan airport...I wore this fluffy FAUX fur coat I bought from Zara while in Macao last time.

And people were staring at my legs...because it's almost 10 celcius there. HAHAHAHA.

Our first meal in Taiwan.

My tomato soup erm,...something, something...LOL.

Couldn't read those Chinese words in the menu.

My first encounter with "Chow Tao Foo" / Stinky beancurd.

Eewwwwwwwwwwww. CAN DIE. Didn't chuck this in my mouth.

After meal, we went back to hotel and...........sleep.

Stay tuned for the next day's adventure in Taiwan!

'til then,

XOXO

Felixia's 2012 CNY: The Reunion Dinner.

2012-02-08T03:05:00.001+08:00

Me in the train.

Bought an express train ticket back to Ipoh to avoid the risks of being a roadkill (due to my reckless driving skills + poor night vision) and also to avoid the infamous hours and hours and hours of highway jam.

And that decision took me only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach my destination. Boo-yah! LOL.

My beloved Mickey hard cased travel luggage that I bargained for a steal while in my previous Taiwan trip. =)

Came home to an empty room. LOL.

Had no time to furnish my own room...so its pretty basic with just a mattress and a new mattress sheet set.

My new...and empty room. *blushes*

Not a single furniture. Haha. Still saving money for that as well.

Due to the fact that I am having no furnitures at all, including a wardrobe, I ended up parading and placing all my reserved CNY new clothes on the floor! Looked like for lelong. HAHA!

The next day, which is the eve of Chinese New Year 2012, I woke up at 5am in the morning.

A super rare occasion, but I insisted on it with my mom.

Followed my folks out to the main market of Ipoh, the Pasar Besar Ipoh to get some roasted pork for my Grandma.

Waited almost 1 and a half hour to get the blardy roasted pork. The queue was insane!

The Pasar Besar Ipoh.

Already hustling and bustling with insane queues lining up for the best roasted pork at such early dawn hours. @.@

So finally we got the pork!

And off we head over to Grandma and Grandpa's house which is located in a village that is around 30 mins ride from our place.

Ipoh...the city in the valley of marble hills.

See...? There are hills everywhere!

Even along the highway!

Ooo...caught a glimpse of my previous bridal house photoshoot along the way too. =D

Mom thinks I look very Malay in these photos.

I agree. LOL.

After 30mins, we finally arrived at end of the village where Grandma and Grandpa stays.

Some of my cousins and aunties. This is like only 30% of the whole family clan. HEHE.

In I walked, and I found this:

Ze latest addition to ze clan. Cute ka? =D

So while I snuck around looking for food and snacks, the elders went straight to work.

COOK.

*chuckles*

Aunty and Mom at "work". LOL.

After sniffing around, I had finally found the stash of CNY goodies.

*whee!!!*

Not to mention how full the fridge was due to all those packet drinks and Jolly Shandy.

Kuih kapit, prawn cracker, mushroom chips, cookies, "beehive" cracker, etc, etc, ETC!

Cook...cook...cook... some of the ingredients for the reunion dinner later.

Boiled kampung chicken!

Aunty's latest recipe of vegetarian shark fin soup. NO SHARKS WERE KILLED.

Only tofu. =D

Ah Po is still using the traditional way to cook...charcoal and clay pots.

There used to be a well here...notice the circle around the pot?

And finally...

The roasted pork that made us wait for more than an hour!

Aunty in charge of cooking the roasted pork. LOL.

So while the women were busy cooking...

...the men waited patiently...

Even had time to play around. =.=

LOL.

...and then they still continued to wait patiently.

The others...

Ah Gong with his "Sleep-while-you-sit" stance.

Ah Po with her "TV Hypnosis Sleep" stance.

Me, the couch, the TV and my fave...

...snacks!!!

Now, you must be wondering why am I being a lazy pig and not helping to cook in the kitchen with the rest of the women of the family.

Well...I offered.

And each time I did...they said, "No need la, you go sit and play with your cousins or watch TV la...here so many aunties, no need help."

=.='''

After cooking, and a quick and breezy lunch, everyone relaxed and chilled while waiting for dinner time.

Guess what every typical Chinese family do to kill time during CNY?

The adults gambled and played cards.

The kiddos??

Played their own games. LOL.

I made my mom braid my hair during her card games' break. HEHEHE.

When everyone was finally home to gather for reunion dinner, the dinner finally started.

Amen. =)

Happy Reunion Dinner!!!

TWO pots of rice for a very, very big family.

I had 2 bowls of rice myself. *beams*

The kid's reunion dinner table.

The adults' reunion dinner table.

Which I get to sit on only a few years back...I used to get chuck away at the kids' table.

*blushes*

I love all these food!!!

The killer was the Pork Knuckle Vinegar...made me down TWO BOWLS of rice just with the sauce and the chewy (fatty) parts of pork knuckles!

And also the traditional Hakka way of wrapping roasted pork with raw lettuces and dipped into sweet/chili sauce.

OMAIGODDDDDD.

Thinking back and looking at these pictures made me drool for these food again.

YUMMYYYYYY!!!!

It's a merry and happy reunion dinner at a small little village with a big family. =)

MY FAMILY.

Stay tuned for the 1st day of CNY post. *winks*

Hair Makeover with bestie! - CUTTING IT SHORT.

2012-02-03T05:04:00.000+08:00

Ohaiyo~!!!

Today I went with my bestie Mandy for a super early (10am) hair makeover trip to a salon nearby our homes.

The look above is actually my final look. ^^

Kawaii ka? HEHE.

No more waist length gold blonde locks thoughw. *sobs*

So...we were both assigned with one stylist to erm, "service" us at the same time.

With both us babbling and giggling away in between.

LOL. Poor dude.

*chuckles*

I seldom smile during hair chop-off session.

Usually, I'd sulk and panic...but due to my damaged hair, I decided it's time for a new length.

The chopped-off ones. @.@

Final bid of farewell after so many years...

Mandy had decided to go for a wavy perm at a new refreshing length too.

(We both happened to be of almost the same height, with the same length of hair.^^)

The pre-dye bleaching...the itchy part.

*SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH*

Oops!

The bleached result...before dye. YELLOWWWWW....like an anime.

=.='''

Getting blow dried before the hair dye is applied on.

My hair looked like hay here...*sobs*

After hair dye!

This is the final color.

At least 2 shades of DARKER blonde.

Nice ka? HEHE.

Hair upon styling.

Mandy's "Before and After"

She got back her beloved waves which I used to want to have when I was still with my black hair.

My "Before and After."

Notice the hair length's differences?

And so we both went in with bushes and hay...and came out with glorious hairstyles.

LOLLLL.

Stay tuned at my blog for more hairstyling tips!

'til the next post,

XOXO

"Enlightened One"

2012-02-01T16:59:00.000+08:00

Got pretty addicted to photography recently...besides self-snapping.
Decided to try my luck for Petronas's "Reimagining Energy" photography contest.
*winks*

Perhaps I could start venturing into serious photography too.

*daydreams*

Here it goes. =)

My resubmitted photo, titled "Enlightened One".

I had purposely disabled the flash to take a photo like this.

I personally think it's a pretty sight of a rare "species" of lion for lion dance.

*beams*

Love the way the little attached light bulbs lighted up the dark surrounding into like fireflies in the night.

This is my personal expression of the theme "Reimagining Energy".
Fireflies dancing in the night, re-imagined into creatively attached LED bulbs onto a dancing lion for lion dance, to light up the dark.

It's a Dragon Year, but I still prefer to watch lion dance...due to their versatility and cheekiness. =)

Something different I've seen this year so far.

Send your photos for submission too before it closes to www.facebook.com/petronas1

You would be directed to a page that appear like this:

Don't wait! =)

The saddest day of my blogging era... =(

2012-01-30T21:03:00.000+08:00

Dear all loyal readers...

Little did I know...

Due to my effort to save my phone some extra space by deleting the album titled "gmail"...

...I HAVE LOST EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I'VE UPLOADED TO MY BLOG.

UNTRACEABLE.

UNRETRIEVABLE.

UN-I-don't-know-what-else-to-say-besides-"OH MY GOD."

Congrats to my new year...for I definitely have no other choices but to re-start my blog.

Please pardon all the missing pictures that made my blog look retarded now.

OH MY GOD.

Why didn't Google/Blogger keep the photos somewhere else instead of just in my phone???

Dear all......

I'm sorry. =(

Modeling : The SCAMS. (Part 1)

2012-01-12T01:55:00.000+08:00

It's been a while since someone had tried their balls to scam me again.

Heard that? I mentioned balls instead of brains. FAILED, that's why.

LOL.

Ok so it was 1am at night when someone under the name "Jason" called me in Skype out of the blue.

I checked my Skype's list, nope, NA-DA, nobody with the name of Jason.

So, automatically, I declined the call, not thinking twice about it.

He called again.

And again.

And AGAIN.

And each time, I still declined.

Until he got tired of calling and started messaging instead.

Here is the conversation between me and him:

...continuing...READ ON...

...continuing...

Notice how I suddenly asked him if he had the right girl?

That is when the whole truth came out.

I was staring at the video, very very intently, and trying to find out any leakage or anything that could make him blow his own cover.

BINGO.

Noticed that the video was on MUTE.

His expressions, body language, angles, and composure REPEATED TWICE in the video of 17 seconds.

When he typed on Skype, the video showed OTHERWISE, meaning that instead of putting them near the keyboard, his hands were somewhere else.

...continuing...

He claimed he turned the video on...I mean, did he really think it was my first time on Skype?

Seriously?

...continuing...here comes the excuses...LOL...

...and finally ended.

Tried to "return him the favor" by asking him to call back so I could screen shoot his face or so and add some "chili" to this blog post.

LOL.

I think he sensed it and ran off.

Oh well.

Sorry girls...the "dude" in the video, was actually quite a looker with well built body.

*winks*

P.S: Modeling is not as easy as it seems.

Be cautious...it is indeed too good to be true at many times.

Take care.

RM1870...GONE.

2012-01-11T03:19:00.001+08:00

3 days ago...I was broke...but well, kinda happy.

Cuz I've finally saved up enough to afford a smartphone.

3 days later...I am broke...but CRYING.

Cuz I've lost the smartphone I've just spent my hard earned RM1870 on...

*CRYING*

Why was I being so careless?

This is my 1st time losing a phone. God knows how I prayed for it to be the last.

Cuz I was afraid of scratching the surface of the phone by stuffing it in my stuffy bag...and so I left it outside...and I had forgotten to take it when I walked out of the ladies...

By the time I ran back to the ladies to look for it...it's...NOT...THERE...ANYMORE.

*crying even LOUDER*

I had barely even got used to it's Android-ness...and it's gone.

It's really gone.

My baby phone.

My precious.

My RM1870 from months of saving.

G-O-N-E.

*sobs*

Broke. And why.

2012-01-08T12:45:00.000+08:00

Below is the photo proof of my reasons of being suddenly pretty broke.

Need I explain more?

At least I have a phone that actually works now. *smirks*

Blehhh...don't even mention the Taiwan (which I sponsored my dearest mom as well) and Krabi holiday trips I've booked in the coming few months.

I need to go "pai-lin / pai-nian" MORE during CNY to redeem some angpow money to compensate some of my financial loss.

LOL.

Just testing my VIRGIN Galaxy S2's front camera upon unboxing. Raw unedited one.

Still scratching my head on finding the perfect Android apps.

=.='''

Well...here we go again.

From a Gadget Noob's Perspective : Samsung Galaxy S3 ?

2012-01-07T00:11:00.000+08:00

You want an unbiased and erm, fresh opinions and perspective from a gadget noob?

Read on.. LOL. I am definitely a noob in gadgets and tech stuffs.

Had been really hardworking and dedicated towards doing surveys of smartphones as I am looking for a perfect one to switch to ever since my current iPhone 3G (friggin' ancient, I know) had well, gone a little cuckoo.

*coughs*

Soon to be replaced iPhone 3G.

So I thought it's the perfect time to switch to perhaps, Android smartphones, as soon as I heard of the jaw dropping prices and queues for Iphone 4S and it's short lived battery life.

Not that I'm putting the blame on Apple's latest crazed-for gadget...but it's just that after calculating the cost of owning and maintaining an Iphone 4S with its extra portable charger/battery bank/battery packs, and also having to pay for apps, I think I'd probably be too broke to buy a camera, which I've been surveying lately too.

And that is when I heard of stuffs such as Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich (which sounds yummy!), which is equivalent to iOS.

And I found out that I found a cheaper and bigger alternative to iPhone 4S, almost of similar specifications and definitely it's competitive rival, which is from Samsung.

Fight!!! Fight!!! FIGHTTT!!! *ahem*

Of course, I am not talking about Motorola's first smartphone, RAZR, which I think has even stronger similar specifications, yet I'm not rich enough to play with a brand's first smartphone, so I just have to settle with a brand that has been there in the Android market long and stable enough, with a hope it will last me a least a couple of years down the road as the iPhone 3G had.

So Samsung it is, I've decided.

Yet, at the same time, I've heard rumors that the successor to the SS2, Samsung Galaxy S3, is about to be launched soon.

Off I scrambled to the nearest Celcom branches, hoping to switch away from Maxis (which I'm still currently using) and the unaffordable billings lately...only to find out that the whole KL had ran out of S2.

=.='''

*Kicks self for taking too long to survey and make a decision.*

Iphone 4 is not really in my list of favorites, if you're wondering, as the second hand price is almost equal to a brand new S2, and S2 came with a 8MP camera, and Iphone 4 with only 5MP.

And so I thought...why not wait for a few more months for the S3. (It's been rumored to come out in February, but for Malaysia...God knows when!)

I took the initiative to do another survey and research on the S3 features and specifications.

Here's the major RUMORED differences between S2 and S3;

1) S3 features a Full HD display

2) Replacing S2's dual core processor with a quad core, with 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB.

3) 12MP Camera instead of just 8MP.

4) 3D technology capabilities...??

The first few sounded pretty good and acceptable to me...but seriously, 3D screen display???

I mean, are we supposed to like wear and drag a friggin' 3D glasses around just for this feature?

=.='''

That is so...not...cool. LOL.

But then again, it's a just an honest thought from a gadget noob like me. *winks*

It's like when iPhone 4S first came out with that SIRI feature that made everyone go GaGa, and the price went beyond GaGa with it's above RM3000, almost one grand more than iPhone 4 when it first came out too.

It's cool...but definitely not cool for people whom can't really afford and chase after gadgets trends.

Like me.

Conclusion is, I will still stick to getting an all-rounder and well approved S2 (also the one that I could afford) and let people go crazy over the new futuristic, mysterious S3 in a few months' time.

The day people stared at my AS* + the reason behind it.

2012-01-06T18:24:00.001+08:00

It was my free day. So I hooked up with ma bestie since 3pm for an event that starts only at 8pm.

With that 5 hours to kill in between, we went shopping in Mid Valley, dressed up for event, already.

Yeah, I know it's pretty "DUH~!" to be dressed up so friggin' early...in the public.

So we walked around, in and out almost every clothing brand stores available in Mid Valley.

With me wearing this...

Yea, from this picture it probably look like something decent enough.

But HELLLLLLL NOOOOOO.

The fabric is a little thin, pretty obvious especially at the as* area.

Of course, I wouldn't zoom into it to let you see the visibility of my G-string beneath the thin, white fabric...*coughs*

And THAT...got my as* stared at almost the whole day. =.='''

Some even glanced at that part of my body for like 5-6 times, continuously.

I really wondered if they sprain their necks at such vigorous exercise. LOL.

It came to a point that as I was walking in ZARA at the women section, I was followed by a perverted creep who was eventually taken away by the securities. Right in front of me.

I was told by the sales girls that the creep had been snapping photos from underneath some patrons' skirts, and also, that my photos were in his cellphone as well...even when I'm not wearing a short skirt.

Another =.='''

Sigh...I still think it's a nice outfit though.

Ain't gonna give it up just because of a few bewildered stares from people and a creep.

*sticks tongue out naughtily*

Felixia's Dates of Horror - Real Story 1

Dates of Horror: Story 1

The story goes like this;

It was my girl friend, who kind of match-made me with her guy friend whom she claimed is a nice guy and is looking to settle down.

The word "settling down" sounded good enough.

So, with her advises and hints, I was somehow convinced to give it a shot.

"It's gonna be a casual outing only anyway. Nothing to lose.", I remembered my naive self thinking.

Besides, I've got the guarantee and words of a friend (whom was pretty close with me back then).

So I dressed in a simple top and long jeans, feeling that I have to look myself and show who I am.

I even applied some light make up.

He called me up for an early dinner nearby my place, and I was pretty much looking forward for it.

He drove his car over and picked me up from my place, on time.

We had dinner and walked around a bit, no holding hands or any sort of physical touching, maintaining my distance from him, and I had especially made sure that I did not send any wrong signals out, just in case.

I did not even look at him that much as a sign of distance, as I was only planning to get to know him better as a friend for the first outing...and nothing more.

So we talked and asked each other questions of our families and work, and also on our hobbies.

Pretty general stuffs, I must say.

I could almost felt that he was really sincere and genuine...

...until when it's almost 10pm, the mall was at its closing hour, and we were back in his car, and I thought that I'd be sent home, yet only to hear him saying something to me that shocked the hairs out of me.

"I want you to accompany me. Let's go to Citi*** Hotel. I don't wanna sleep alone tonight."

Said that guy.

The moment he was done saying that, I'd bet he saw that O at my mouth, that my jaw almost dropped to the ground, and my eyebrows were so tightly frowned together, they looked like they're intertwined.

And I said very sternly and seriously, "NO."

He was pretty persuasive and insistent, thinking that I was just being coy.

He even thought that I was stupid enough to believe him when he said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything tonight. I just wanna hug you to sleep."

I was like, "DUDE, what am I? Friggin' 5 to you???" in my head.

So I gave him another extremely firm, "NO. I'm sorry to let you down, but I'm NOT that type of girl."

This time almost yelling out.

Yet, the bugger, still had the balls to think I was interested to go with the plan...and start driving the car to the hotel.

And then, only I began shouting and yelling in the car, "NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA GO ANYWHERE WITH YOU. SEND ME HOME...NOW!!!"

He continued driving and not intending to bring me home.

I figured that it was of no use trying to talk him to sending me home, so I pretended to agree to join his "plan" just in case he try to hurt me or do something worse.

In my head, I was already with several escape plans by the time we reached the hotel entrance.

BINGO. Jockey...became my saviour.

Once he stopped the car for jockey, I bolted out from his car before he could put the car in parking gear, and boy, I ran so fast, I'd bet the jockey approaching his car did not realize he actually had a girl in the car with him.

Well, not anymore.

I RAN WITH ALL MY MIGHT...

....all the way back to the Mid Valley, ignored all his phone calls

....and ran to the other side of the mall, hailed a cab and headed home right away, still checking out from the cab's window to see if he was following.

It was a really close encounter, which left me still gasping from air from all the running even after I reached home that night.

...AND, that was the last I'd seen of that him.

Well, so much for Mr Nice Guy and Looking-for-Settling-Down.

LOL.

In a Bookworm's Hole - Book 2

2012-01-04T02:13:00.000+08:00

Having relationship issues with your beloved one?
Fighting yet again for another petty issue?
Or worse...
Feels like giving up on a relationship you've been holding for so long?

Now, here's a book which I've currently read which is really heart warming and soul soothing, compared to those slightly more maneuvered towards manipulative and mind boggling facts about relationships with titles such as, "Why Men etc,etc, and Women etc, etc?" or "Men are from etc, etc, Women from etc, etc".

This book consisted of a compilations of stories that will make you smile from within the heart or possibly even shed a drop of touched tear from your soul, and real stories from real people all around the world which will make you believe that Love...is in fact possible, and so does an everlasting relationship.

Just like the caption says it out, "Stories to CELEBRATE what it means to be in LOVE."

Take a step back from the flames and fury, tears and fears...and look at the bigger picture of the both of you.
Stand back, and you'll see why you're still holding on the girl/guy you're with.
Do not give up for the small issues that can be solved, 'cuz in the end of the day...nobody's perfect.

Learn to appreciate Love.
And start loving again.

P.S: Yeah, I'm a bargain supporter if you are wondering of the red blot of sticker on the far right side.

*BLUSHES*

In a Bookworm's Hole - Book 1

2011-12-21T00:02:00.000+08:00

Bought this book from Relay, in Hong Kong airport recently during the transit from Taipei to Kuala Lumpur at the price of HKD170.

What attracted me at first was the vintage photo of a Chinese lady and its rare hard cover for a fiction novel as such. Unfortunately, there's no word print on the hard cover after you stripped off the paper cover.

An addictive novel, got me hooked on almost instantly, and I finished it within a week of relaxing read, touching about the Japanese occupation in Nanking slightly and how some girls survived the rapes by hiding in a Catholic church.

I would say this is a good one, and it goes into my favorite's list.

Heard it has a movie based on this story, starring Christian Bale.

My Macau GP 2011 Experience - Day 3

2011-12-19T16:00:00.000+08:00

Early morning in Macau, waking up to this view. Watching the sun rise is something simple, but it feels like a bliss.

Found a photo in the web of me and Alina, the other blonde race queen. Weather was pretty good, a bit cloudy, with the right amount of coolness. Lots of photographers there. I heard someone calling my name too, LOL. What a surprise!

After around an hour of posing for photographers and parading on the track, the race finally started and we hid in the pit, which turned out to be one of the basement carpark lot. Something refreshing.

This is how it looked like under there.

While waiting for the race to finish, guess what I did...

...camwhored again. *blushes*

After an hour or so, the race was done, and our team's ride came back.

The 458 reversing in and snuggled itself in its warm underground car park.

And guess what was the result of the race?

TWO bloody thumbs up from our team's driver / boss / CHAMPION!!! =D

One thumb up for the championship,

One thumb up for the party later of the night!

Later after that, we were escorted and chauffeured back to the hotel to change for the prize and award giving ceremony.

The coolest trophy...made of real carbon fibre!!

Upon the ceremony, we were sent to our dinner place. A local authentic Chinese-Macanese restaurant.

An expensive and guilty-ful starter. Typical Chinese exotic cuisine. =.=

Check out the number of sharks they gotta kill for 20 bowls of this shark's fin strips!

Finally, a farm meat. Minced pork with salted fish.

Another super expensive dish.

Don't really know what they called this type of fish, but they called it "Loong Dan" in Cantonese, stewed in claypot with bittergourds.

Didn't eat more than one piece for this. Wasn't my cup of tea. LOL.

After dinner, it's time to wiggle and grind those fats away!

Party time. =)

A dress I borrowed from Alina. NICE!!!

Due to my pickiness in food, I ended up not eating alot during dinner.

But I compensated my little tummy with a delicious supper when I got back to hotel from the party. HEHE.

A doodle of words from the broken hearted.

2011-12-17T20:23:00.000+08:00

Now...I don't really talk about my feelings openly...but I guess since my blog is still new and hell, it's a whole page of blank space for me to pour out everything, word by word, I'd assumed that if people are willing to read, then I am willing to write.

I am sad.

As busy as I am, I still find myself crying at times, and crying more lately. Sometimes I see myself cry in my dreams. Sometimes I woke up crying and wet with tears on my face. Traumatized? I don't know. At least that's what my mum told me after I called her this early morning and poured out everything that I've been keeping from her.

When I say "poured out", it really means I poured out those bucket of tears which I've been holding back from her lately.

You must be wondering why am I sad. That I don't have any bloody reason to be sad. I guess, in a way, I really don't need to be sad.

But then again, if I'm not, then why do these tears fall?

Because I am only a girl. Who had once looked at a boy asking him to love her, but one day she woke up to find that it wasn't really much of a love, and what the boy gave her was mere infatuation. Nothing more.

I guess I was naive. I still am, somehow. I still believe in passionate, undying and unconditional love filled with romances, kisses and hugs. The types which you see in movies. Perhaps, I was dreaming. Perhaps.

Some told me that I deserve more, some told me to remember why am I holding on after so long...because there must be a reason. It's just that nobody told me that I have to hold on for the right reason.

But then again, what is right in love? It's too subjective. Not like love was taught in classroom and in textbooks.

I could go on, crying every now and then...or I could stop crying myself silly and leave with the very little pride I had left in me.

...and look for the reason to smile and laugh again. Just like before.

"Romantics die young...", they say.

I'd add in, "...from crying for their broken hearts."

Some announcement!

2011-12-16T04:24:00.002+08:00

Dear all,

...please pardon my current blog's outlook as it's under a major haul and renovation now.

STAY TUNED. *winks*

One day in Taipei

2011-12-15T23:06:00.000+08:00

It was my first time ever in Taipei, and was an extremely hectic one, with 2 group shoot sessions within a day...right upon landing.

*phew!*

Pretty much didn't have the time to take any BTS snapshots.

Until I got back to hotel...and then I did THIS.

Nothing beats a loooooong warm soak in a big bath tub after a looooong day at work.

Almost fell asleep in the tub with a facial mask on, although I was both Whatsapp-ing and watching movie at the same time while in it.

The next morning was pretty rushing too, had breakfast and then hurried to the airport to catch the flight.

Didn't have much time to do anything in the airport too...but I did manage to have a quick peep at the local bookstores and ta-da...LOOK what I've found!!

NOW...NOW...who says bookworms and bookstores are boring?

*winks*

Oooh...managed to finally get a nice luggage bag within my budget at a good bargain. Bought this Mickey luggage after a super late dinner upon work in Taipei, in a stall along some street.

NTD 2500 = RM260 (approx)

Hope to get more time in my next Taipei trip.

'Til then...XOXO

My Macau GP 2011 Experience - Day 2

2011-12-10T06:15:00.001+08:00

Day 2:

Woke up early and went for a pre-tour at the Macau GP track that was actually built on it's normal city roads.

Then we were sent back to the hotel to catch a nap and do whatever we wanted to until our dinner later on of the day.

So while we're still awake, I blurted out the word, "HUNGWEEE", and ta-da, everyone seemed to be interested in ordering some room service's food.

Guess who was luckier;...

...the bell boy with the food service in a room full of girls...

...or a room full of hungry girls seeing a bell boy with a tray full of yummy food?

My HUNGWEEE face. LOL.

The worse you could do to me is to starve me. I'll go berserk for sure if my stomach growls too much. BEWARE.

After being fed...the hungweeee girl is happy again!

...and then she got the energy to camwhore all the way in the bathroom.

After a nap of almost 3 hours, we woke up to refresh a little, slipped into our most casual and comfortable clothes (apparently, only I followed the dresscode, as the other two race queens wore pretty dresses instead of in leggings and sweaters), and off we got chauffeured again...but this time...we had a MUCH better ride.

A REAL BIG ARSED LIMO...

...complete with disco lights, crystal champagne glasses, leather seat, and bombastic ICE system...the type you'd only seen in MTVs and BBE music videos...!!!

My turned on face...due to being ecstatic in a Chrysler limo for the first time of my humble life.

The entrance to heavenly ride.

After around 10 mins of joy ride and popped many pairs of eyes from pedestrians, we were then dropped at our dinner place.

A famous Macanese-Portugese restaurant...which...erm...I didn't remember to jot down the name.

*blushes*

While waiting for food to arrive...

...and when food filled up the dining table at last.

Something simple that had made me very happy.

Just plain butter and bun. YUMMY.

My favorite seafood. LALA!!! (Clams)

Didn't touch this one though. Its called African Chicken. =.=

This was one of my favorite of the night too. Really nicely done beef steaks.

As JUICY as Matthew McConaughey's buttocks.

Another dish which I didn't touch.

Reason?

Was too darn lazy to take the shells off. LOL.

An incredibly big plate with chopped roasted pork. Seeing this was enough to make me stop eating.

The amount of meat was too much too handle for my eyes.

Quite like this one too. Rice was really flavored into its core.

Some extremely salty pork strips.

Or whatever they called it.

I was craving for something sweet and cool in the end...was kinda expecting dessert too, but to my disappointment, everyone had overate and left no space for any more food in their stomachs.

Took this while waiting for the beloved limousine.

Who needs Dr Martin when I could get my feet into such cute pink boots that only cost RM100?

*bleh*

Beautiful view, ain't it?

Ahh...that's the last we get to see our dearest limousine.

Goodbye, limo...*sobs*

Thanks for letting me ride on ya.

*blushes*

Stay tuned for day 3 in Macau.

"Felixia, the Girl-Next-Door"'s UNPUBLISHED, PRIVATE photos...

2011-12-06T23:38:00.001+08:00

I guess I would be using my blog as my "private" photo journal...ever since my personal Facebook account is disabled again.

Yes...AGAIN.

So...most of my more towards 18SX photos that need don't get much of the public approval...since certain people in public just love to report, apparently...would be exclusively posted here.

For you to get a little deeeeeeeeper into me. AMEN.

Ok. So here we go; photos that got reported and taken down from my "Felixia, the Girl-Next-Door" album.

My fave shot in the album...'cuz it feels really close, cozy and at home. =)
