not so famous yet.: 2015

I finally have time to post about my nose filler! I had nose filler done last month and I really love the result!!!

If you're interested to know more about the nose filler, keep reading!

If you've followed my posts earlier, you should know that I'm really really obsessed with perfect skin and I've made a few visits to Sliq Clinic for what they are renowned for, their lasers. Because Dr Steve and I share the same vision, what are beautiful features without a beautiful face?

And a day before I flew to Hawaii, I decided to go for a nose filler at Sliq Clinic. I know, I am already very pretty and I don't need a nose job (haha).But for the longest time (since I’ve known about beauty), I’ve always hated my nose.

That typical Asian garlic-look nose, fml.

No mama, ain't nobody complaining for what you gave me.

This is a picture taken a few years back then.

Error 404: no nose bridge found.

I had the thought to "revamp" my features ever since I was 16 and I've researched a lot on nose jobs. But true enough, I've never stepped out to make the commitment and nose jobs are not cheap. Imagine that you paid for your new nose and you hated it, but you have not enough money to reverse the result, fml.

When I was in Sliq Clinic, I had small talks with Dr. Steve on nose fillers and I understand that nose fillers can achieve almost a similar result (on nose bridge especially) and on a few extra notes:

1. It's reversible and safe

Unlike Rhinoplasty (nose job), Hyaluronic acid (filler) is actually a substance that our body possesses. It can be shaped and also it will absorb into the body eventually. Hence, the risk of infection and rejection is minimal. Also, Dr Steve mentioned if I'm not happy with the outcome, I can always reverse the effect by using enzymes as it is enzyme soluble.

2. It'snon permanent

Although that some of us might find this as a flaw of aesthetic fillers, but I personally find this a minimal commitment and can be beneficial to those who wouldn't want a long-term commitment on the nose. (the effect last varies from 1 year to 2 years, depends on individual lifestyle)

3. Zero to 1 week downtime

Rhinoplasty usually takes way longer to recover and to look natural, but the effect is way more prominent. However for people like me who opt for natural and zero downtime, filler is the option. The nose gets slightly swollen for 1 to 3 days. Some even do the procedure during lunch break of their work and get back to work immediately after.

But just in case you didn't know, there are actually plenty of fillers our there, however, not all are FDA certified.If you are looking for cheap fillers, chances are you might be getting a non-certified filler. And the worse scenario is that you might ruin your nose if it is not certified.

That is why I choose Sliq Clinic and Dr Steve.

Because he understands what is beauty and how to achieve it with the safest procedure.

I remember when we had small talks on some people that underwent plastic surgery and how to judge them (who's prettier or not), I am very satisfied that our beauty vision is aligned.

Tips from me to those who wish to go for any aesthetic procedure, always AlwaysALWAYS talk to your Dr about the person who’s look you wish to achieve, how he thinks about that, how you like it and show lots of examples and pictures. Make sure the Dr knows what you need, and what you want.

At last, after the long wait.

I get numb cream applied to my nose for 20minutes.

And there it goes.

Dr Steve carefully injects the filler, making sure it's at the right places.

He massages the nose after that, making sure it's shaped nicely.

And patiently added on a little by little.

Because I mentioned that I wouldn't want it look too over the top.

The result, is immediate. Below is the picture of me 30 minutes after the injection.

By knowing that I actually own a humble little blog, Dr Steve agree to giveaway my readers 15% offer for facial /laser treatment (non-promotional item only) using this code:

CARINA15

This offer code will only be effective until February so for those who want get a prettier face or sharper nose before Christmas and Chinese New Year, don't say I never tell chu!

Attention to all the Hello Kitty fans, images below will make you scream because it's full of Hello Kitty awesomeness. Who wants to go to Hello Kitty Cafe? Because I am going to show you Hello Kitty TOWN! :)

The Sanrio Hello Kitty Town at last officially opened its door to public on the 31st of October2015! Being the first few to visit, feeling privileged I said to myself "WHY IS THIS PLACE SO PINK AND CUTE!!!!"

And this time, Hello Kitty features a theme that tells my favorite story - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
I guess it's not that strange to most as the movie alone has been remade countless times!

And of course, in conjunction with the Oz theme, there will be a lot of limited edition Hello Kitty Oz collectible merchandise for collection!

In the Hello Kitty Oz World, you can play a varieties of games to win a postcard and other activities that is suitable for the kids and big babies like me!
You'll need to flash your cute little Hello Kitty Hero to start playing the games.

Also, there are other activities like folding the Hello Kitty box.

And I must say, this is pretty addictive cause I'm an origami freak.

Ta-daaa!

Also you can meet Hello Kitty in real with a lot of fancy dress up.
Sometimes, you can also witness Hello Kitty Wedding. This is Hello Kitty in princess dress I suppose.
There are also Daniel, Melody, Hello Kitty in other dress up, Badtzmaru and many more. They will come out in different mascots according to their slot. By all means, take more pictures!!!

With all the girls in the Kitty mode.

When you are hungry, you can always drop by at Red Bow Cafe for all their reasonable Hello Kitty food! I want the Hello Kitty toast but all are just too cute to eat <3 p="">

Also, one of the attraction/activity is to visit the Hello Kitty's house!

Welcome to Hello Kitty's home!
This is the living room.

Hello Kitty house is quite a decent size, especially her bath tub!

It's SO HUGE. Everything in Hello Kitty town is just filled with cutesy!

I'm just too excited! Look at all the cute item and utensils in Hello Kitty's kitchen.

I am not a super diehard fan of Hello Kitty, but I just can't resist because all of these are just too cute and too dreamy!

If you intend to come Hello Kitty Town, remember to stay at Jen Hotel which is just 5 minutes walk to Hello Kitty Town and there is a free shuttle bus to Lego Land as well! Also, for all the Singapore friends out there, it's only a 20 minute drive from Malaysia-Singapore Second Link and 25 minutes drive from the Senai International Airport! :)

Signing off,
Have a sweet Hello Kitty Journey!

They say beauty comes with a price.
And since we are all not born perfect and if a little aesthetic procedure helps, I don't see a problem with it. Especially when the food we eat, the air we inhale are no longer that clean and natural anymore, we definitely need some technology in reviving those cells under the skin!

And need not say how much I hated my dull skin and large pores. As I have mentioned earlier on my previous CO2 Fractional Laser post, that no one treatment can minimize all the large pores, so I visited Sliq Clinic again this month. This is the third time I paid a visit to Sliq Clinic.

Sliq Clinic offers a lot of non invasive aesthetic procedures, and is well known with their laser procedures. After my first visit and laser treatment with them, I decided to come back for another laser treatment as I'm highly satisfied with the improvement on my skin.

This time, Dr Steve introduced me to a Carbon Peel procedure that can improve my dullness, acne scars, with zero downtime. Also, this treatment is priced at a much affordable range that the previous laser (tho effectiveness varies as well). Hence, I take this as an "intensive monthly facial treatment".

Carbon Peel is a treatment suitable for oily/acne skin, dullness, uneven skin tone and open pore problems. It has instant and long term effect.
First, get your skin checked and analysed.

Dr Steve says this treatment is very popular among the youngster and this laser only takes about 5 minutes and the procedure include preparation is about 20 minutes. He also patiently explained to me what my skin condition is and how it needed to be taken care of, as usual.

After that, I was sent to the room to get my skin cleansed and prepped.
And next, the nurse carefully applied carbon on my face.

Dr Steve then started his procedure after placing protective gear on my eyes.
After the laser scanned through, the carbon on the face immediately evaporated off.

Leaving a more glowy skin.

This is a picture after treatment with Dr Steve, mind you I have put zero foundation on my face! Look at that healthy glow!

I have friends that ask me there are other aesthetic clinics that sponsor treatment and why I insist doing it at Dr. Steve's? Because when you step into Sliq Clinic, you really feel like home. And Dr. Steve effort and passion towards aesthetic treatment and his customer can easily be seen. He always makes sure he update his clinic's gadgets.

Making sure it's up to date and helps maximizing the customer benefits.

Look at this selfie I took before and after.

The light tone might vary due to the angle, but look at forehead and cheek, they glow.

Also, 2 weeks after the treatment, my skin is getting better each day. :) Looking forward to the next carbon peel next month.

So, if you're looking for laser treatment or carbon peel, I highly recommend Sliq Clinic!
For those who curious how much of my procedure costs, it's only MYR600.
Also, they have package prices and a promotion in November!!!

My flawless skin! :)

No doubt that bleaching the hair is one of the ways to achieve more dynamic and vibrant color we don't have and we won't have. Speaking of experience, it was indeed the right decision that I decided to bleach my hair 4 years ago.

I've started with dip-dyed with bleaching only the ends, 2 times whole head bleaching that go blonde. 4 times or so of different tone of purple, and now ombre lavender grey.

Also, it never fails to catch the attention from everyone and also in case someone forgets me, they never forget my hair. It is so vain to say but it really made a difference in my life, especially experiencing all the attention and learning to cope with it.

But let's face it, bleached hair doesn't last.
Especially weeks after being bleached, shampooing the hair washes away the moisture that was once sealed under your hair cuticle, broken by bleaching agents.

And now you are sourcing for help, for that dull frizzy dry tangled hair you refuse to chop off.

My solution for maintaining the bleached hair is putting tons of serum and oil in my hair before shower, replace conditioner with treatment cream and then do hair masks during the shower for at least 5 minutes, also, not washing the hair often.

If you've saw me doing all my treatments, you'll be definitely baffled by how many hair products I've owned and I even gave away lots of products once a year, JUST TO FIND THE RIGHT PRODUCT for my hair.

BUT if my way is going to help, why are there salons out there?
Because we do not own all the professional tools that help improve the results.

I've went to Haircode Academy last month to try out their moisture hair mask, and I must say it was aaaaamaazing. ( FYI, nobody is paying me to say this. )

Reason so is 2 weeks and half later, I went to my usual hair salon and asked my hairdresser if I need a haircut or trim. He said :

"I thought you hair just trimmed no? No white dots woh."

For the first time, my hair condition is so good that even my hairdresser didn't realize that I've not trimmed my hair for 2 months!
I'm baffled at how lasting the hair treatment was.

If you did not know, white dots are usually found at the end of your hair and it's a sign of breakage and lack of moisture. Usually it happens to bleached hair or dyed hair. If it's not trimmed, split ends will form.

After my long winded story, we all know treatment at home is so important but splurging on professionals with professional tools once a month or two is totally worth it, especially for girls with long hair.

And the hair treatment I received is called:
KeraStraight Protein Mask

The hairdresser shows how wet hair can be tangled but immediately become smooth and untangled after the treatment cream is put on.

The special part of this treatment is that they use Good Hair Day dryer to dry your treatment cream just to SEAL the keratin into your hair. After that they wash away the residue.

To achieve the ultimate result, a heater is used to dry the hair completely, as heat will transform the protein cream to keratin.

The Good Hair Day heat plate has the technology making sure the heat is always at 160 degrees even if used on wet hair. This is to ensure that the hair is not damaged as lower heat temperatures will not achieve the ultimate result and any heat temperatures higher will cause damage to hair.

And even my friend actually asked me how that my hair can be so healthy after that.

Seriously my friend, this treatment cut down a lot of hair care for a lazy bum like me.

Look at Jan hair which also highly bleached.

So silky and no split ends!

A photo session of me with my good hair and one of the hairdressers.

Of course, like I always say, hair care did the maintenance.
Got this set of hair care products and feeling wonderful.

I must say if you are buying this set or plan to buy, my favorite is the conditioner.

I usually don't opt for conditioner as it is oily and useless to me but KeraStraight conditioner feels like serum when applied on my wet hair.
It absorbs quickly and is not oily at all.

For the treatment mask, it is just like how I got serviced from the salon.
I will have to first put the cream on my hair after towel dry.Next, blow dry the hair completely, let the mask sets in. Then, wash it off again.

The routine is rather tedious but I try to do it at least once a week and trust me, it's worth every single cent. This is because the treatment not just plain helps smooth the surface of your damaged hair but actually strengthens them, the effect stays.
Not many other treatments last a few days out there.

Recently I stopped oil treatment at home and let it go a bit raw.
My hair is still pretty healthy for bleached and dyed hair.

Totally recommend it.
But just in case you are wondering where to get all these goodies, they are not sold in retail.

It's a gastronomic experience at Imperial Rama last weekend. We were cordially invited to review for Imperial Rama at Genting Highlands and if you've been to the MIGF (Malaysia International Gourmet Festival) 2015, you must have tried their Abalone Soup with Maca and Chicken, nourishing and delicious!

Imperia Rama is a high end restaurant catering finer and exquisite tastes of Genting revelers. The head chef is impressive, previously at a high end Singaporean chinese eatery for 25 years.

The 5 course meal starts with the appetizer:
Crystal Prawn
Crispy tiger prawn topped with the Japan fish roe. Also, pairing with avocado and tuna, it's interesting to play on the palate.

No Chinese cuisine would be complete without a soup to taste.
Coming up next:

Double-Boiled 6 Head Abalone with Dried Maca and Chicken Soup.

Maca is not just nourishing and good for women but also men. The soup serves extra delicious in the cold weather at Genting. Not just that it is the signature dish of Imperial Rama but also my personal own favorite.

Coming up with the entree.
Baked Golden Pomfret with Chef Sauce.
The sauce sweet yet tangy and the pomfret, one of my favorites cooked perfectly.

Main Couse:
Stuffed Sea Cucumber with Noodle Cheese Sauce
Unlike the slimey over cooked sea cucumber, this one is worth to share.

The stuffing, a combination of pork, and shrimp also complemented the texture of the sea cucumber perfectly. Of course, the specially imported Taiwan noodles with cheese sauce put the icing on the cake.

Bird's Nest with Mango Puree and Snow Mango Mochi
Not to be beaten out, the Bird's Nest with Mango Puree and Snow Mango Mochi dessert capped off an already fabulous dinner set. We all know the ingredients in the dishes are premium with bird's nest, but a specially made creamy and smooth Mochi made the whole set come together in a swirl of flavors that few will experience at most Chinese restaurants.

With every sip of mango puree, you can taste the bird nest.

Overall, the full set menu felt excellent and worth the price, especially with the promotions.
It's only RM338 nett per person with Complimentary Chinese Pu Er Tea.

I am baffled at the price considering the venue and as well as the premium choice of ingredients (bird nest, abalone, tiger prawn, sea cucumber), it's a steal!

Also, this month, the MIGF month, they are giving door gifts and as well as room night offers. Festival diners are entitle for half off room rates at the Genting Grand Premier Room and discounts to see the Superstars of Magic Show! Full details are at the MIGF

Of course here is a picture of with the head chef, and we certainly enjoyed the excellent culinary experience!

Signing off!
