I always enjoy going for spa treatment every now and then, but just the other day i realized that i only go for the same old treatments every-time i went, namely: facial, body scrub and occasionally, body mask.

So yesterday when i decided to try this new spa place near my apartment, i decided to try out some new treatments too! Since i don’t really like being massaged, i go for the arm & leg waxing instead.
This is really my first waxing, so I’m not sure what to expect, when will the hair grow back? when it grows back will the hair becoming thicker?  longer? coarser? is it HURTS?

well..it hurts alright, but it’s an “ouch!” hurt, not an ARGHHHHHHH@!%&^ hurt. The spa attendant told me that normally the hair will grow back in 1-2 months, and waxing will not cause the body hair to become thicker, longer or coarser. God, i hope so.

They have hot waxing & tube waxing so I’m trying both. This is the tube wax…

And this is the hot wax, applied with some kind of spatula, one small sections each time, in the direction of hair growth.

Before wax cools, firmly press strip to wax in the direction of hair growth. Smooth the strip with your hand.

To remove strip, peel it in the opposite direction of hair growth, in quick move. This is where the Ouch!!! come. Whatever you do, DO NOT pull straight up!!! If the area stings it can help to apply pressure on immediately after the strip removal.

To remove excess wax, they spray some sort of unscented oil.

DONE!

Despite the many Ouch!!! moment, I think i do enjoy my smoother arm & leg ^^

“Would you like to try our Brazilian wax next, miss?” Er… maybe in my next life ^^’

Went fishing last weekend! One day J suddenly decided that he needs a hobby so he came home with a bunch of fancy fishing equipments and and insist that we must go on a fishing trip asap. So we did.

After doing some research from some fishing magz, we booked a boat that took off 4 a.m from tanjung pasir (around 33km from my apartment in kemayoran - pretty far and hard to find!).

Anyway don’t get fooled with the pretty pictures of tanjung pasir above ok! Ollie took that pictures with her fancy camera so everything basically just looks magically better. The real tanjung pasir where we get on our boat is so frikkin’ unchic! Dirty, smelly and full of pantless fishermans (don’t ask why they are pantless).

Once the boat set off, evertyhing seems so much better - Oh how i love the ocean wind!

Check out my PINK fishing stick (is this how people call it or there is a technical name for it?) with a matching PINK fishing reel! Eh, I’m not a crazy pinky madwoman. It’s just all fishing equipments looks so technical and manly, so when the shop attendant asked me what kind of stick & reel that i want, i suddenly got this urge to claim my femininity. “Just got me the pinkiest stick you got on the house, Mas”

I think i really do enjoy fishing…

But the combination of the wind & sun on my skin, the peaceful sound of the ocean and quietness makes me half sleeping most of the time

or busy taking pictures with the girls

and EAT! We didn’t get a lot of fishes (despite of my lucky hat, i only got one fish *cry*) but enough for our lunch.

We marinated our fishes with sweet soy sauce with chilies, smashed garlic and lemon juice, wrap it with aluminium foil and have it cooked until it’s done. We brought canned sardine and abon sapi along just in case we didn’t get any fishes.

It was a superb lunch =) argh! just thinking about the food makes me can’t wait for the next fishing trip

Fishing tips: if you like me who can not afford a yacht or at least a boat with seats, better bring folded chair or little pillow to sit on, because i just found out that sitting on a hard-vibrating-hot wooden deck for 12 hours straight, is bad for your ass.

Went to Mark Plus Conference 2010 yesterday. The Hermawan Kartajaya sessions was pretty good but other presentations almost bored me to death. So, if you ask me what do i got from the whole thing - apart from catchy title “The sky looks brighter but uncertainty is the new normality” -  Absolutely Nothing.

Maybe i got to all the wrong sessions or simply didn’t pay enough attention =( which is exactly why I’m not paying for seminars.

Oh, anyway the served yummy cakes for coffee breaks and most of all, G-Pluck was there!!!! For those who don’t know, G-Pluck is an indonesian impersonator band of the beatles - at it’s best. Now, the beatles is before my time and i don’t know much of their song, but in those 15 minutes, G-Pluck has succesfully & completely mezmerized me. I’m a groupie now, yay!
