My First Wax – Veet Wax Strips

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on My First Wax – Veet Wax Strips

Actually I never plan to wax my legs. Never cross my mind at all until I bought Veet Wax Strips. This box is RM25+ if not mistaken. There was discount that time so it was below RM20.

I bought it to wax my bikini line *BLUSH* but ended up using it on my legs. This is because before you use it on your bikini line or underarm, you have to test it first if it’s your first time using it. The best place to test based on the instructions is your legs. That’s how I got hairless legs now! For the first time in my life, I’m having hairless legs! ;p I got lots of hair on my legs and some even quite coarse but I never bothered.

So? The result after using it? Really easy and fast. The pain is all right. Piece of cake for me.

However, for bikini line and underarm, I tried few days later after waxing my legs, it just didn’t work well. Nothing much came out.

The main reason is that you have to cut the strip into smaller strips but there’s a problem, see the photo below and you will understand.

There wasn’t enough wax and strength to grip the hair when you cut the strip small. The wax would come out from the sides of the strip that is cut and it’s very messy. ARG! The wax all ended up on the surrounding areas with not enough wax on the strip to grip the hair.

The lesson of the story is that, buy small size wax strips if you are going to wax small areas such as underarm and bikini line. Cutting big strip into small strips can’t do the job.

Love the sweet smell and how quick and easy to use. I do recommend it if you are new to waxing.

There are 4 wipes included for you to remove the wax residue and also to moisturise your skin. If you run out of it, you can always use baby oil.

This is only suitable for big areas even though the packaging stated that you can use it for underarm or bikini line. Well… Unless you have big surface for those areas then that’s different story.

Going to Singapore!

Posted on By sweet surrender 13 Comments on Going to Singapore!

Got my passport today. Got really nice expiry date, 14/4/14 hahaha…

Finally I did my booking! I’m going to Singapore this August. Will be going with my aunt and will meet my sis there in Singapore.

Did a quick research since this morning and only just now found out that Tiger Airways is having zero fare promo. I think it ends today.

Made the booking and I paid RM189 for return ticket. In fact my target was below RM300 but who knows there’s RM200 and below offer. It’s a deal! Even with the “hidden charge” of the airline, the convenience fee -.-” RM25 per person. I hate it. Why? That is because it didn’t reflect in the total and when you make your payment, it was only reflected after the transaction was completed. So be prepared to get shocked with the extra charge.

What you see in the picture is not the final amount you are making. The final total is RM378 for two persons.

Then the itinerary didn’t have much details just like Air Asia. You only see the passenger name, contact details, flight details and money you paid(without breakdown of charges) but there’s no other details such as passport number of each passenger.

Oh! One thing I’m not sure, I didn’t choose any seat because if you choose your seat, you will have to pay for it. Do they assign to you randomly or you must make your choice? GOSH! I hope this is not another hidden cost when check-in -.-” Anyone has any idea?

So I will be away from 17 August 2009-21 August 2009. Should be able to update blog by then or have series of scheduled posts ;p My mission is to “eat” Singapore, no shopping, what to shop? No money to splurge. I rather feed my stomach.

Passport Renewed!

Posted on By sweet surrender 11 Comments on Passport Renewed!

Finally… I got my passport renewed! I’ve been talking about it since beginning of the year and finally got it done now. Renewal is RM300 for 5 years.

My passport expired in 2007 and I only used it once way back in 2003. ONCE! Don’t you think it’s such a waste?

My target now is to use it more than once within these 5 years! At least 5 times. *cross my fingers*

In case you don’t know what you need to bring to renew your passport, here’s the list:

  1. Your expired passport
  2. 2 passport-sized photos (you can just go there and there is people offering such service, RM10 for 4 pieces of photos using Polaroid, I did mine there coz back then I did it outside, it got rejected and had to take new one at the staircase there. There will be people there that will ask you whether you got your photos already or not before u go into the building. So now I don’t bother to go other place to take. At least if it’s rejected, you can go down and “shoot” the photographer hahaha… It didn’t turn out nice but I don’t care as long that I can proceed with my renewal)
  3. 1 Photocopied IC
  4. Your Original IC
  5. RM300 if you are going for the 32 pages passport (credit/debit card accepted)

The form will cost you RM1. All in all, I spent almost one hour there. Went at 3pm and left at almost 4pm.

Passport will be ready within 24 hours. I will go collect it tomorrow. The department is really efficient, service is fast and they are very helpful.

So? Why I renew my passport? I’m planning to go to Singapore this August with my sis else it will be this December. Someone has promised me to bring me around and hunt for food ;p

After Singapore, where next? I don’t know yet… Hopefully Australia? Hong Kong? Go on cruise? We’ll see by then. Make more money first.
