Shopping Spree

It has been so long since I went for shopping with my colleague after work. Last Thursday, I bought quite a few items which added up to $130+.

As my facial cleanser has finished, I decided to replenish my "stock" from Face Shop. Instead of getting just the cleanser, I got myself 2 more items - 10 Eye Masks and a cellulite body gel. It adds up to around $100. With that, I got myself a free tote bag as well but it was out of stock.

  Cellulite Body Gel, Eye Masks and Face Cleanser

In addition, I got myself a new work pants. I have always wanted to get a new pants because the ones that I am wearing are all too big for me. It would have already fallen off if not for my hip. This is my new pants in relation to the old ones:

With the old pants behind

See the big difference?

See the pants size? From 42 to 38 (29" - 27"). Drop 2 jeans size.

Tried and can actually wear 36 (26") too ^_^
But guess 38 would be better since I need to move around and to be in different position

As you guys know I had just rebonded my hair too. Of course I must not neglect my hair care. I got myself a hair mask!

That's about all for the spree on last Thursday. In the end, we only went home after 10pm. I also tried a top from Uniquo and I like it! But it was too big. They only come in medium and large sizes. I needed a small.

My Second shopping Spree:

Yesterday, after my facial, I had another shopping spree. I got myself a Bio-essence Anti-dark circles essence, a body shop body gel, and a bust firming cream. lolx.

Hopefully this can help my chronic dark circles

Not sure if it works, just try for fun =P

The stuff I've bought for the past 3 days minus the pants:

And I am gonna be broke. So, no more spending on beauty care products for at least 2 months. =X

And I also collected my tote bag from faceshop:

New Permed Hair

Did you guys(and gals) know that I permed my hair last Tuesday? But I'm glad that many people say it looks nice!!! At least the money is well spent and look good! =D Initially, I am still quite "afraid" of perming because I didn't know how it will turn out to be and after perming, it looks alittle weird. Maybe because I didn't perm before. If you wonder how long I took, it took me around 6 hours!!! I did some scalp treatment too BTW. =X

This is how I looked like now:

 Me and zJ

And I'm LOVING my hair now!!!! But it takes a little more time than usual to maintain and manage it. But well, the time is getting shorter as compared to the first time I washed my hair!

If you are wondering, I did my hair at Jean Yip (Tampines one) as I had a package with them since beginning of this year. Well, I am willing to pay alittle more, so long the effect is good and doesn't really spoil my hair. =)

I must be able to treat myself well before I can treat others well right? Of course that doesn't mean I'm not treating people well when I treat myself well.

P.S: I intend to go and colour my hair in January next year..... I think it will make the perm nicer. Check out for more of my hair in January! Till then, take care!

Photos of my different hairstyles

I just posted photos of myself with different hairstyles in facebook....

At first wanted to post here but found it abit troublesome.... so... you all can take a look here then.

Say no to lobster fringes and YES to bangs!

I've always wanted to cut bangs since a long time ago but don't dare to. Today, I finally has the courage to give it a go! And..... I think I am starting to like it.... don't know if it will be the same tomorrow when I wake up... lolx....

Anyway, here I am:





And the comments that I have: (click to enlarge)

There are also some said I looked like a doll!! lolx... and it reminds me that I am a doll with dark eye rings.... maybe I should carry a knife too.... lolx....

Other comments includes.... you don't looked like the Xiu Ling that we know. You looked like Xiu Ling's YOUNGER sister! =X

Nonetheless, I think I like my current hairstyle for the moment. In any way, I am just photogenic and always look better in photo than real person. =X

OH..... And I know you will read this:

GOOD LUCK for your upcoming EXAMS and IPPT!
Cheers!

Just do your best can le.....
The rest can think later....
I know it is difficult to be motivated.... you can if you believe!

I LOVE MY HAIR... ...

... ... so do my colleagues!!!

Lolx.... I'm glad I've made the changes. Everyone, my colleagues and even caregivers of my clients(kids) said I look good in my new hair!!!! =D And when I went to work on Monday, my colleagues were like taking turns to touch my hair!!! lolx....

My mom said so too the day after I rebonded and highlighted my hair:

"buay pai kuai leh...."

And I "attitude" by saying:

"wa bo gong pai kuai ah."

lolx....

Another change... ...

Well, after contemplating for a few months, I decided to carry on:

TO REBOND AND HIGHLIGHT MY HAIR

This treat cost me a bomb and probably I have to slog my way for the year 2009 and maybe hoping for more bonus to come. lolx.... But I am happy with it, so other things do not matter. I should pamper myself for all the hardwork that I've done for the past 1 year(although I've done so by giving myself a Bangkok trip in December).

I am LOVING myself and going to PAMPER myself. No point being NICE to others when they don't even appreciate it. I am just going to appreciate myself for all that I've done for people who I've cared! And of course.... Thanks to those who appreciates me! =D

Shall post up my new look soon....

These are some photos that I've taken when I was using the 2nd Storey Ladies@Century Square.....

Behind the door in one of the cubicle

Me in the toilet after rebonding and highlighted my hair
(colors still not that obvious yet)

A Close-up one

I shall post up more photos tonight. Anyway I confirmed I've lost weight. Cause the above Purple Roxy shirt that I've bought from BKK used to be quite tight fitting. Now it is just nice.

Beauty, Hair and Dental Care

I went for my 3rd out of my 5th facial package. Changed my normal facial to Diamond Tone facial since my 2nd facial onwards - Paid additional $300, exclusive of GST.

Today, I was sort of persuaded to take up a new package - 10 Diamond Tone Facial with Eye Treatments. Don't ask me how much. I guess this is the first time I spent so much on pampering on myself. But like many others who commented, it is good to start young, rather than to start when I turned 30s or 40s.

But oh well, at least, I start to see some effect on my face. But the therapist was saying that I may be using the wrong facial wash, etc. Thinking whether to continue or to change another product. hmmm.....

Anyway, I am still considering whether to go for rebonding or not. Alvin was suggesting that I should try out their rebonding when I was in Bangkok, but I am not that adventurous to try that out. In case I came back with some strange hairstyle. I'm starting to like a bit of my wavy hair already. Maybe I should wait my hair to get a bit longer before I go for rebonding. The other time someone was saying that my hair was abit short to go for rebonding. Waste money. lolx... quite true also. Maybe I'll go and do it after new year?

Next, I am going to do more for my dental care. I'm ashamed that hasn't been doing very good dental care. Should start to do more and thinking of going for braces. Have been wanting to do that since when I was in Junior College.

Shall see how then. =P

Shampoo and Facial

I have ran out of my shampoo. That was my 2nd bottle of Essence shampoo and conditional. Both is the big bottle kind, where you press the cap to eject the shampoo and conditioner (sorry.... don't know other words to describe it). For last 2 days, I was using my Sunsilk "Sliky Straight" shampoo that was leftover before my 1st bottle of Essence shampoo was bought. You can see how long ago that was?

But who cares when I ran out of shampoo and need "cleaning" for my hair? And guess what? I found out that my hair remains straight even when I wake up in the morning when I washed it the night before!!! Ohoh.... and just a reminder, I think the sunsilk shampoo was bought even before I did my rebonding in December 2007, last year. Thus, I didn't know the "Effect" of the shampoo.

Thus, today I decided to go and get a set of shampoo and decided on SUNSILK Shampoo. Time for a change I guess. This time, I got the newer "version one" - Style Sunsilk "Straight and Sleek". Maybe they have changed the purple color one to another color? Will post up the photos maybe tomorrow.

And because I bought the shampoo and conditioner, which totals up to more than $15, I am entitled to some items at a discounted rate and I decided to get myself a facial cleanser since mine is finishing. The facial cleanser that I got is the Neutrogena Deep Clean Energizing Foam Cleanser.
In another note, Citispa called me to remind me that it is time to do my facial. lolx. This is the 2nd time that they called. Surprised that Xiu Ling/Eileen actually went for facial?!??!

YES.... you didn't hear wrongly. I went for facial and is so going for a few more? Cause I bought a package of 5 treatments when I went there for my promotional eye treatment and facial@$28 exlcuding GST. I couldn't "keep" myself pretty/nice when I was a student cause I have to save to pay for my school fees. Not that I no need to save now nor did I said I have become prettier.... but I can still afford to pamper myself once in a while. Who doesn't wants to look good in front of others?

And well, MABEL's wedding is coming!!! This gives me a very good excuse for me to go for my facial!!! =D Most likely will be going on the 10 August.... =)
