ENHANCING YOUR BEAUTY

ENHANCING YOUR BEAUTY


Last week, I was invited to attend a beauty talk called "Enhancing your beauty" organized by The Sloane Clinic. As the name itself, the event was mainly talking about how to beautify yourself, enhancing your look without going through plastic surgery. Basically, I felt The Sloane Clinic is doing "charity" to everyone who attended the event that day which is awesome *Say thank to The Sloane Clinic*. By saying charity, I mean they are giving knowledge, tips, advices, solutions to all attendees for FREE. Of course, you need to get ticket to get in at only S$20/ ticket and S$36/ pair but hey, you got a goodies bag to bring home with many cosmetic stuffs which worth quintuple of what you need to pay for.

In conclusion, you learn, listen, consult anything with experienced doctors yet free stuffs to bring back. Need I say more??? I know some of you guys are reluctant, afraid and also bloody lazy to attend such useful talks because you think at the end of the talk, you need to sign up for a package or any service with the organizer. YOU ARE WRONG! This is NOT like those desperate so call "beauty-talks" that some cheapskate beauty salons did to get the customers. I know what you feel and I hate those to the max too. Of course every clinic or beauty salon needs to get more customers, but to what I observed in the event, The  Sloane Clinic is having no other intention besides educating people to understand truly about non-surgical make-over procedures, what are the new methods, technology that come out to maintain our beauty and youth. They scored at this point! 

Therefore next time, if I ever inform any event that they are holding, you'd better spare your time to attend. U'll never regret, I swear. Those who couldn't make it to join the last week talk, here is the chance for you to know what happened. 


Slogan at the entrance! Beautifully designed. 

C&T stands for Coffee and Tea :D


Light refreshment served after the talk. Cuteness and yumminess!


Time to get it started!
Dr. Low Chai Ling was the first one to present


She was talking about "Lifting your face with natural filler" which what I have done before. Read the old entry HERE!

What surprised me in her talk was when I saw many before- after photos of her patients at their ages of 40s, 50s after having their filler treatment done. They really look like 10 years younger than their actual ages, good God! To me, when I thought of filler, I only thought of enhancing my face features only like nose augmentation, chin augmentation etc....I was wrong! Restylane can do so much more than that. It can help you to maintain your youth for at least 10, 20 years, man.

Look at all these photos:


If you tell me the lady in the left looks like 40 years old. I agree  but NOT the one on the right! She looks like 30 years old at most. 

Now I understand why all Hollywood celebrities never grow old. Seriously, I'm thinking in 20 years later, I'll definitely need the help of filler to maintain my beauty. Thinking of having saggy skin, tons of wrinkles on your face...OMG, that freaks me out. I'm so damn scared of seeing myself becoming an ugly woman -_-. Noone can avoid growing older, but beautifully old, can? I even kiasu photoshopped my own photo to see how will I look when I'm at the age of 60s. And this is what I dont want to see 


Mad fugly and this is just 70% photoshopped done. Imagine if it's 100% -_-.

Everyone should go for Restylane and now you can confidently recommend this to your mother, grandmother, grandfather or even grand-grand mother.


Dr. Siew was the second speaker after that. He was sharing few solutions to lighten up our skin and treat pigmentation which most of us do concern about. Nowadays, you often to see some girls post up photos of themself in their Japanese chio style. What is Japanese trend nowadays? It should be fair skin, big eyes, cute pose. 

Every girl likes to have fair skin, so do I even though I'm born with tanned-skin. The problem is how to have beautiful fair skin which helps you to reduce 10 years of your age while we are everyday under hot sun. Many people smoke, drink, are having birthmark,  etc...However, not to worry because Dr. Siew is generous enough to share with us the 2 very effective methods to treat pigmentation and have glowy skin which are:

&
Luminous Program

Dr. Siew Tuck Wah with his presentation. 

Call The Sloane Clinic to consult Dr. Siew about all these skin problem, pigmentation, bla bla bla...He is the right one!

Lastly, it was Dr. Chua Han Boon to deliver his interesting talk about:

I personally like this topic :D coz there is nothing better than having your face transformed without going through plastic surgery ;)

Another handsome doctor. My God, all of the aesthetic doctors are so pretty and good looking. 

Dr. Chua was sharing about 2 new treatments: Thermage and Ulthera. Both are mainly used for face, neck lifting. When talking about these Thermage and Ulthera, you gotta mention about The Sloane Clinic because they are the leader and pioneer for these treatments in Singapore. Thermage is good for skin tightening around the eyes, cheeks and saggy jawline, stimulating collagen for smoother and healthier skin whilst Ulthera is well-known for face lifting. 

Here are some examples:

Look at how awesome thermage can do for you! Forget about big contact lens to have bigger eyes, now you can have it all, looking fresh some more. 


Isn't it that obvious different?

Wow! What do you say about this photo? Awesomeness! Faster bring your grandparents to see doctor ~_~



Everyone was focusing on the talk. The event took 1 hour and a half with a Q&A session at the end. It wasn't long at all, in fact I felt it's too short timing for doctors to answer all the questions. It's the proof to show there are many people nowadays do take care of their own beauty and youth seriously. That's the most expensive thing you have in your life, you'd better maintain it well. 

Look at Dr. Low! God! She is just so beautiful, isn't she? Not to mention that it's super nice talking to her. 

That's me with the 2 handsome doctors. Don't get jealous with me, ladies *lolz*


My most favorite stuffs from the event: Goodies bag with all the cosmetics. I thought they just gave some small samples of some unknown products but no, The Sloane Clinic is hell generous ok! And some girls got so jealous with me when they saw it. Who asked you never make it to attend. All these should have been yours!!!

Since the cosmetics are so nice and I love it so much, I decided to camwhoring with them, lolz


Cool feet airbrush catwalk heels!

This is what exactly I've been looking for. Everytime after practicing dancing, my legs get numbed and painful like mad coz of the high heels I wear to dance. And this Cool feet airbrush thing you are viewing here is just like my personal massager now. Just spray and all the numb feelings are gone! Super cool! 



Body cream! Love the smell, so sweet :)


Bronze airbrush face! One of my most favorite products. I'm happy to the max when I saw it because I've been looking for this tanning face spay for long time. Everytime joining dance competition, I need to get my whole body as tanned as possible and those tanning lotions are not advisable to use on face. So imagine, my whole body is tanned and the face is so fair -_- Now, airbrush face just settled my problem. Love it and love The Sloane Clinic too ^_^

Let me show you how awesome this little stick works!

Me with my make up on before applying tanning spray. 


First, I need to get my face cleaned up. 

This is not dirt, it's my foundation. 

Spray directly to your face if you are superb in doing it. 

Or you can spray some amounts to your hand and use sponge to apply onto your face. Look at the beautiful tan color!

Get it done!
and


Finished!!!!!

Half face is tanned, half is fair. Which one you prefer?


Fair skin without any make up on. 



Lastly, Pixi eyes bright kit with 4 different colors! No longer worry about your panda eyes :D

So, are you getting excited yet? Or are you getting envious with what I'm having or at least ask yourself, do you really care about how you look and what you feel? Like I said, the first secret to success is to feel confident in yourself. I know, some girls want to look pretty and hot but they are lazy to change. Some don't know how to change and what do they need to change. C'mon man, all information is here! What you need to do is:

1. Call your doctor and consult them. If you don't have any doctor that you can trust yet, call Dr. Low, Dr. Siew or Dr. Chua at The Sloane Clinic. Get their phone number HERE
2. Join The Sloane Clinic Facebook page so that if you are born with laziness, at least you get frequent updates from them!

That's all for today! Thank you for reading. Do come back again!

THE BEST AND SAFEST WAY TO TRANSFORM YOUR FACE

THE BEST AND SAFEST WAY TO TRANSFORM YOUR FACE


...is NOT just plastic surgery. 

And I'm going to share with you the greatest secret and tip of how to have a higher nose, V-shape chin, higher cheek bone which can change your life, I'm very sure.  If you tell me "No, I don't need to look beautiful. I'm happy with my flat nose", you are such a liar, BIG time. Everyone wants to look beautiful nowadays unless you want to be a ugly chick, going to be "expired" soon yet no guy ever wants to date with you. Not only girl but also many guys are wanting to change something on their faces: nose, eyelids, lips, chin, jaw, cheek, etc...But the first thing they ever come across their minds is: Plastic Surgery. 

No no no! There are still plenty of methods out there, how you know which one is suitable for you and most importantly, WHICH ONE IS SAFE? I'm telling you now

Remember my previous blog entry "Think of face transform, think of filler injection"? which I posted a year plus ago. I ever mentioned about one thing called 

 

Correcto! You can start learning about Restylane, how it could help to enhance your face features without even going under the knife. And IT'S SUPER AWESOME! I've been always wanting to try out Restylane or nose filler for more than 8 months since the first time I attended the event talking about it organized by omy.sg and Q-med. I studied about it plus consultation with doctor. After all, I decided to just do it. But before you want to follow what I say, read some infos yourself. I love you very much that's why I even spent an hour gathering all necessary information and putting them into a nice piece of art here...So here you go!



Click to enlarge photo

2 weeks before flying back Vietnam, I went to Sloane Clinic to have my facial make-over done. Can't tell you how much excited I was, of course I felt nervous too but thinking of having a chio (*means cute) face gave me more determination to do it. :D So here I was, at Sloane Clinic. 

 Say Hi to Sloane Clinic!

 Restylane banner with some brochures on.

 Receptionist area



After consulting Dr. Siew, I even more than 100% assure that I'm going to have my facial makeover done. As such, "I'm giving my life to you, Dr. Siew" *just kidding*. He just made me feel so comfortable and relax and trust him that he will do a good job. 

And the procedure started....


Reading through the agreements and signing.


 Taking before photos! 



 Guess what was on my tongue? Some sweet pills to give me numbing affect.


First, we started with Cheek augmentation! I'm going to have higher cheeks, so excited!

 Getting my cheeks numbed by the frozen peas before the injection started. I looked like I was being tortured by doctor and the nurse, lolz...In fact, they were trying to prevent the pain for me.

 Me and the nurse were posing to the camera while doctor was turning away, lolz. How cute she is!

15 minutes after numbing applied, doctor started injecting filler into my cheeks and instantly I can see the result. It's like magic, seriously! And most importantly, it was so fast! It was less than half an hour to get my cheeks augmented. 

Second, Doctor Siew moved to Chin augmentation! This procedure is to solve your round chin problem. If you saw my previous blog entries with my photos in it, you probably knew that I had a round face and pretty short chin. I've been asking doctors and doing my own research whether or not I should have a chin augmentation to enhance the size of my chin. But I was so reluctant and I left it just like that with the thought of I would never have courage to do plastic surgery. Until Dr. Siew told me he could do something about it. I was like "OMG! Are you serious?" And then there he was, really doing something with my chin.

Sorry for not having any photo of nose filler to share, but I'm gonna share with you the utmost important photo:

It's here! 

 Finished!!!!!!! 
Me, after all the injections done!
Seriously, I couldn't wait to grab the mirror and look at my new face as everyone kept nodding every times doctor finished the injection.

Let me put my make up on first



 Make up corner with all the clinic products are FREE to use. Awesome max! No longer worry to leave the clinic with a plain pale face. :D


Proudly presenting to you my transformed face:


 Here I am with my make up on! Instant result as you can see and I swear I didn't do any photoshop on my photos at all.




Close up side view! Don't get jealous with my super chio chin and high nose please! If you are jealous with what I'm having, go to look for Dr. Siew at Sloane Clinic.

Side by side photo for better comparison:




Unless you are blind, my face is obviously different now. I can't say any other words besides happiness and satisfaction :D

I'm so damn in love with my new chin! It's like a dream or what? How could it be that fast? Imagine if you have do plastic surgery, how could you see your new chin right after the surgery done. No way! But with restylane, you can. Not just that, assuming the new nose or chine doesn't meet your expectation unfortunately? Know what? Doctor can make the changes too, OMG!! This is what plastic surgery just dies of shame.

Restylane is so good that I MUST share with everyone and people are still misunderstanding it or lacking knowledge of it. Time for you to brain wash yourself. What are you waiting for? Get your God damn phone and make an appointment with your preferred doctor else, you can call to Sloane Clinic and make an appointment with Dr. Siew Tuck Wah *my most recommended doctor*

Call NOW 6533 2522 

 My doctor is better than yours. Plus handsome,  plus experienced, what can you ask for more?

With Q-Med girl Christina, Dr. Siew, the nurse and me.


Lastly, this is something that you are looking forward to seeing: Video recorded me in procedure. It's good for you to see the whole real thing and you'll realize that, it isn't scary or dangerous at all

Watch!!!!






Now, it's time for Q&A! I know you're gonna throw to me load of questions, I'm just answering you the most important ones


1. How much does it cost?
If you want to do the chin augmentation, nose filler, cheek augmentation, wrinkles, laugh line filler at once, It would cost you around S$6300. If it's just nose filler or chin augmentation alone, I'm not sure though. Call up Doctor to ask -6533 2522

2. Does clinic accept installment payment?
No, idea. Ask the clinic, please!

3. Does Nose fillter have any side effect?
No, No, No. There might be some bruises on your face which can be covered easily by concealer. That's all.

4. Is it painful?
I thought it was painful but in fact it wasn't. If I could stand it, you would take it too.

5. I'm having my period, can I still go for the injection?
You are doing something to your face, not your ass, why cannot? Unless, you want to enlarge your *erhm* vagina and I'm not sure if anyone could do it for you, lolz.

6. What about breast feeding, can I still go for filler injection?
Are you going to make your AA cup to B or C cup? I meant breast augmentation! What does face filler injection get to do with your boobs?

7. If what Restylane is so good, why there are many people still going for plastic surgery rather than nose fillter?
Maybe they haven't heard or known about Restylane yet. You idiot! If you ever know Restylane and it's safer, faster result than plastic surgery, which one you would go for?

8. Where is Sloane Clinic located?
The one I went to is Chevron House, 30 Raffles Place, #03-01 Chevron House, Singapore 04862. You can visit their website HERE

9. Is Restylane only for women? Can men do it too?
Oh yeah! Restylane is for everyone who wishes to look pretty: guy, girl, gay, lesbian, uncle, auntie, widow, single-mom, housewife, bla bla bla...

10.  Where can I get information about Restylane?
Oh yeah, good question. Check out and join their facebook

They will equip you with alot more information as long as you request. 

I hope my answers are clear and sufficient enough. It's your turn to make something change to your life and first thing you must do is to enhance your look. When you look good, you will feel good and you will have a lot of confidence in yourself, in doing whatever you want. Don't believe me? Let's just try it and tell me if I'm right. 
By then, I hope I'll receive some consultation fees from you or at least a "Thank you" for sharing such useful tips ;)

Good luck!

2011 PLANNING AND PREDICTION

2011 PLANNING AND PREDICTION


Photo credits to: Jeff Sheldon
Now only I have some tiny times to b1st day of 2011 (Lunar Calendar) in Vietnam. I was back Vietnam 4 days ago and I was so busy with relatives visiting, New Year shopping, house cleaning. Even though, the weather was cold and I was sick, but I still enjoyed every moment at home. And I couldn't blog due to the noise that many people created in my house. But I'm lucky enough to be at home alone for a while to complete this super overdue post.
log, my Goodness! I was kind of under a pressure for not blogging for more than 10 days. So, to make this blog post is more special than any other posts, I'm writing it on the
So here you go:

PLANNING & PREDICTION 2011!

Remember I posted 2 posts for 2009 and 2010 before? That's when I knew how to predict and to plan for the new year to work things my way. Read back episode 1, episode 2 . 

To be honest, I still don't know what to do, what is my goal, what I want to achieve in this year. How to plan? But I knew that this year is going to be a challenging year for me in everything. 

1. Career.
I'm going to have a lot of difficulties in career at the beginning of the year. I must be very careful in doing my work else, I might be facing of being sued or something related to justice. My person fortune teller said that, it will be settled somehow, and I will have somebody to help me out. 
I will be promoted at work. This is absolutely true because it's already happened! I got promoted in January itself. How accurately what my fortune teller said!!!!
I'll make money this year, but I'll spend a lot too. :(

2. Love
Love is still in the air this year! But, we might have little arguments here and there. It did happen once in January when we had a serious argument. That was also the longest argument we've ever had so far. 2 days in cold war! I hate it and I can't imagine some people especially girls can keep the cold war with their boyfriend or husband for over a week. Isn't it tiring? distracting and stressful? So this prediction is quite right somehow, but the worst thing that has been hunting my mind now is: There will be a stupid, ugly girl or guy that has the intention of breaking my relationship! I do not want to believe this. I don't.  
Speaking of this, I want to jump off the stairs already. Imagine, there is a sexy and innocent pretending girl comes to talk to your husband, tries to flirt him, hugs him (in the polite manner excuse), what would you do? I'm assuming a girl because if it was a guy who would flirt with me, I would not mind to kick his balls off. 
You can say that I'm thinking too much, believing it too much, worrying too much. Ok, fair enough! We're gonna just leave this topic here and come back to it in January 2012. I'll make a review of it! I promise!

3. Traveling.
Looks like this year is gonna be a year of traveling for me. I'm not sure where yet, but I've already had 2 fixed destinations in February. Right after I'm back Singapore on 9th Feb, I'm boarding again on 10th Feb for Malaysia. Awesomeness! Bangkok is a MUST for annual praying trip, Boracay (Philippines) and Perth (Australia) were planned from last year, but not yet happened. These are assured trips so far. Not to forget, the already happened Bintan trip in January. Any other trips, I dont know, lolz....Who knows if anyone wants to sponsor me for traveling again?

4. Friends and Social Networking.
It's said that I should not socialize too much this year. Making too many new friends is not advisable, just keeping myself low in terms of finance, status, and everything. To summarize all of the sentences above, I should just stay at home all the time! The reason is I might have alot of pety people are eyeing on me, are jealous at me, want to bring trouble to me and harm me. That sounds scary.  
I guess, I will not be able to run away from them if they really want to stick their nose into my business. 

5. Family
There is no other word besides GREAT! Everything is going to be great to my family this year. We are so looking forward to welcome a new family member in 6 months time and I'm gonna be an auntie. OMG! That sounds so exciting but I feel so old! After all the sacrifice, this is the paying back time for my mom and dad. I'm so glad that they could release sadness, stress after all to enjoy their life. 

That's all, my new year prediction. I do not want to write a to do list here because I don't know what do I need to do yet. However, here is my shortlist wish: 

1. Panasonic GH2 with 14-140mm lens. I'm just crazy over it. (going to achieve)
2. Plastic surgery (nose, chin, cheek)---> In stead of plastic surgery, my wish was granted with nose filler, even much better than plastic surgery. Blog about it in a while.
3. A trip to Perth, Europe or US. One of my blog readers is so generous that he sponsored me a trip to US. But I didn't dare to go. Who knows what would happen? 
4. Se7en1nch is booming.
5. Boo. You know I'm talking about the boo dog, the cutest, smallest dog in the world. I happened to meet Boo in real life and he is so handsome. If only he was female, I could take the Boo puppy home.
6. Keef could quit smoking, I know it's impossible -_-
7. The bad people disappear in front of me.
8. More fans on Facebook page.
9. No argument.

I know, I'm greedy with so many wishes, but I do give promises in return too.
- I promise I will work harder
- I promise I will buy lesser clothes, shoes and nonsense stuffs
- I promise I will drink the aloe vera gel and supplements that Mom bought
- I promise I will control my temper and be more patient
- I promise I will learn to eat chili and curry 
- I promise I will try to cook for Keef 1 meal, at least :( He is the one who cooks for me. So shameful 
- I promise I will update my blog more and more often.
- I promise I will keep my stuffs organized.
- I promise I will sleep at least 7 hours a day.
- I promise I will not be so emotional when my period comes
- I promise I will not cut my hair
....

Ok, that's all for now. Let me think if there are any other promises, I will post it in...next P&P episode. Thank you so much for reading!
Happy New Year to all!
