Black out

This morning on my way to work, I'm feeling kinda uncomfortable in my stomach, I tried to bear with the discomfort & make my way to interchange.

While waiting for the bus, the feeling got worst. My vision start to went blur & I'm in cold wet, the black out feel is kicking in real soon. I just pray for the bus to come real soon so I can be comfortably seating & I know I'll be fine by then.

But suddenly I feel like throwing out & I run to throw out at the grass patch. After throwing out, I can't see a damn thing, I'm totally black out at that time.

I tired to firm my foot, when I start to get my slightest vision, I try to make my way to the seat & take a rest.

Been so long since I last black out, I seriously don't like this feeling. My head is spinning like mad now, I need a good rest.

My Belated Birthday Getaway to Desaru

I'm a little late, but I still wanna share my birthday celebration with dear back then. Like I did share earlier on, my birthday pressie for the year is a getaway trip from dear, we went over to Desaru last Friday for my belated birthday treat.

Initially was a business trip for him, I was suppose to accompany him to his client office at Kota Tinggi for a short meeting before we head over to Desaru. Just a day before we set off, his client called to postpone the meeting to April, since we already booked the resort, we stick on to our plan.

I did my homework before setting off, I google on the route we should take & really study the map to make sure we will not get lost that day on the new Senai Desaru Highway. Enough of Google map or even Malaysia Street directory, shouldn't they be updating their map frequently to convenient people? I can't believe that the highway was officially open July last year, till now it still not available yet. Luckily I'm working in MNC, I have international colleagues, they manage to provide me with tons of information.

Dear still need to work on Friday morning, he came over to pick me up, have a quick lunch & off we go. Smooth traffic in that afternoon, we manage to clear Singapore check point at 2pm, no lost of way, we manage to reach Desaru before 3.30pm. Finally can rested my mind when we reach there, I'm so afraid that we might lost our way & I can foresee that I'll be scolded throughout the journey.

I love the view from my room, sea view from our balcony, you can even hear the wave sound. After we settle down, we went for a stroll on the beach & went to recky on the place. Decide to have a friendly tennis match before we go for our dinner.

It not a good game, as the court's ground is so uneven, the ball just went the different way where you expect it to go, so frustrating. When it get closer to the evening time, we start to see a lot of monkey gathering near to the court, we are really quite disturbed by their presence. One of the monkey actually tried to steal my bag when we are looking else where, luckily dear was fast enough to chase him away, if not we will be struck in Desaru as both of our passport is in that bag.

We decide to end the game early, head back to the room & wash up before going for dinner. Okay, I was glued to the TV, so dear suggest to order room service in for the night.

The 2nd day, I woke dear up early for breakfast, after breakfast we had a morning stroll on the beach before we drive our to explored the area around the resort. We decide to head over to the Ostrich farm for a visit.

Finding the place wasn't a easy thing in the country area, but we manage to reach there quite smoothly. Ostrich farm smelled just like the zoo, but nothing special about it, we tried some ostrich meat satay too, I swear that the best satay I ever tried before, so tender!! I WANT MORE, but I doubt I'm able to find it anywhere in Singapore.

We head back to the resort after a long drive, time to head for a swim in the pool on such a hot hot day. After the pool, we decide to head for the beach. Sadly, the beach wasn't as perfect a we thought, too many small pebbles for our foot & the wave is too strong for us.

Mad exhausted after a long day, since we skipped our lunch, we decide to go for an early dinner. Dear suggest for us to eat something good, any foods of my choice! As usual, I always over estimate the capacity of my stomach, I ordered far too much than what we can eat.

After dinner, let the food digest a little before our spa appointment. Frankly speaking, this is both me & dear "virgin" spa experience. I don't kinda enjoy that, cos I feel that its get rather tickling & painful at time. But the after feeling of massage was really shiok, whole body feel so relax & I really had a very good sleep that night.

Wake up on Sunday, the day the my getaway is coming to an end. We checked out at 12noon, decide to head straight back to Singapore to avoid any traffic jam. But before we exit the highway, dear decide to bring me for a walk at Johor Premier Shop.

Dear nearly bought me a new Burberry wristlet, though the price was tempting, but I decide to give it a miss. Had too much wristlet & stuff, guess it really time for me to stop buying any branded good!

Good time pass faster as per normal, but I really appreciate the effort for dear to bringing me there.

I'm really lazy to arrange the photos in order, just a randomz upload from the trip. Enjoy the photos:

Sophia Brow House - Creative Brows Embroidery

Advertisment - Personal recommendation

I believe a lot of ladies out there will encounter the same problem like me. Wake up late for an appointment, rushing for time, yet I can't get a prefect brows after so many attempts. To save me from the embarrassment of funny looking brows, I had to snip my fringe away just to cover it.

Cutting my fringe away definitely is not a permanent solution to my problem, yet it is causing me even more inconvenient. I'm facing the issue of having my fringe poking into my eyes whenever it get longer, not only that, I can see an increase of acne appeared my forehead.

I'm so glad that I found a solution to the root cause for this issue, that is brow embroidery. Let me clarified this first, brows embroidery is NOT tattoo, tattooing involves injecting ink into your skin. The pigments will migrate deeper into your skin over time, therefore, the effect is permanent. The colour of tattoo will change over time, turning into awful looking greenish brows. I'm very sure that everyone knows what I trying to describe & seen many aunties or even some young ladies with such greenish brows on road.

Brow embroidery involves penetrating of colour into just the top layer of the skin. The beautician will customize your brows and the arch to suit your face shape, and add colour to your brows. Unlike tattooing, brow embroidery is not permanent, it will eventually fades away after about a year or two, depending on individual skin condition.

After much research, I found Sophia Brow House, my beautician is Apple, a lady with 20years of experience in beauty salon services that station at the Marine Parade branch. She a very nice lady that take the trouble to explain to me the different between brow embroidery & the newest generation of brow embroidery which is known as Creative brow embroidery. Creative brow embroidery done by adding colour to your brows using fine strokes giving you a very nature looking finishing which looked so much closest to our brow hair. No doubt, Creative brow embroidery is my choice after her detailed explanation.

♥As my brows just done with the touch-up today, the colour is still very dark, but you can clearly see the prefect strokes on my brows, after a week, it will be as nature looking as my brow's hair

She start off by drafting out the brow shape first, this is to determine the exact shape to be embroidered later. After drawing, Apple applied the anaesthetic cream to my brows area for at least 15minutes, that is to minimum the pain level to the lowest during the process.

♥Us with the anaesthetic cream on brow's area


Apple show me that the blade she used was a brand new piece, she actually removed it from the sealed packaging in front of me before the process. They only use brand new blade for every walk-in customers, so no worry for me on hygiene issue.

The process was a simple one, everything was completed close to an hour time. During the process, a little bleeding might occurred, like I say is due to individual skin condition. As it get closer to finishing, the anaesthetic effect start to go off, so you might feel a little pinching pain around the brow area, but don't worry, you can stop your beautician at time to apply more anaesthetic cream for you, but I'm very sure even without the additional cream, the pain is still bearable.

Of course I will share all the good stuff with people, the first person I would like to share with is my sister. She had her embroidery at Sophia Brow House too, both of us are really very happy will the brows embroidered by Apple. Thanks to Apple, she made our daily life so much more convenient, we can basically step out of or house without an make-up on our face.

Today we went for our first touch-up, first touch up is necessary after your very initial embroidery, this is to ensure that the colour is more lasting. In any event of a little "imperfection" after your first visit due to your "itchy hand", please be remembered, peeling off the skins while healing is totally not advisable, there a lot if incident that colour will drop off with the dead skin during peeling, it the same applied theory like tattooing.

♥The start of the process for me

♥Cat's turn

♥Letting the ink to "settle down" on the skin for awhile

♥P/S: The colour will look more nature after a week

For people who are interested in Creative Brow Embroidery, do take my recommendation into your consideration, brows is very important to everyone, your brow's shape helps to determined a lot on your overall appearance, even though it not a permanent thing, but can you imagine that if any wrong decision you made, you going to live with your ugly brows for the next 2 years at least, I seriously cannot imagine how terrible that can be.
