The days ahead...

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 9:15 PM 0 hug(s)
I hate Tuesdays...

In fact I hate Tuesday to Friday because you know what? My working and studying schedules are damn packed and I've to run to and fro PJ and KL, especially on Wednesday and I don't like it a bit! I super duper hate Weekdays!

Now, I come to understand why working adults appreciate weekends so much! I do appreciate weekends now and of course Monday as well since I'm quite free and not working on Mondays temporarily.

Anyway, I don't want to grumble a lot today because I still need to work tomorrow. I just wanna keep my blog readers and friends updated.

Philips' curling tong is amazing, guys! Yesterday, I curled my hair before going out at 7.45a.m. and damn, when I got home around 11p.m. or so, the curls were still in place. Since the curls were so damn nice, I didn't wash my hair last night...


Look at my hair! Damn nice, right? Muahahaha... I love hair extension and I love Philips curling tong! I should have gotten one earlier. By the way, pardon me brother, he was preparing to go to bed already when I took this picture. I've no intention of diverting your attention, so sorry. Haha...

This morning, when I woke up around 6a.m. or maybe slightly later, I saw the curls were STILL in place. Damn... Philips curling tong is a miracle, alright? Muahahaha... Can you guys actually believe it? Damn, damn, damn! I want to marry the inventor of the curling tong!

Ah, anyway, I was doing opening this morning and guess what? Azam was being really nice to bring Starbucks Black Apron Exclusives Coffee Beans for us to have our coffee tasting session. If you guys are not aware of the Black Apron Exclusive Coffee Beans, these babies are really rare and usually, you might only see him once in a blue moon, be it Sulawesi Toraja or not.

I appreciate Azam's humbleness in trying to share his knowledge with all of us.


I was being told that the Black Apron Exclusive Coffee Beans are normally sold at high prices because of it's rarity. So, if any of you are fan of Starbucks' Coffee, if you ever come across labels like the above, grab one! You'll never know if you'll have the chance to try one or not because these kinda coffees will not be brewed in store.

Alright, that's it about coffee and now, it's about my favourite purchase of the week!

Hip, hip, hooray!

I went to Sri Petaling's night market with my brother and friends a while ago only to see a watch that I really like. It caught my attention and I thought it'd be sold at a high price but guess how much did I get it for?


Damn... It's RM9, alright? Dammit, why all the stuffs at Sri Petaling's night market are so damn cheap? I even bought another pair of high heels for RM10 only. Yes, a freaking RM10 for such beautiful heels!

Imma going to go back there again next week and be sure I'd bring enough cash! Damn, I only brought RM50 with me and it wasn't sufficient to quench my thirst to shop!

Anyway, I'll stop here and next up would probably be Day 5 of my trip to Bangkok or maybe my date with somebody special yesterday. Hahaha... It'll be very much dependent on my mood.

Good night, people!

Look at my hair!

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 11:47 PM 3 hug(s)
I've been hesitating and hesitating all these times regarding getting a curling tong. From long hair to short hair and from short hair to long hair, my crazy crave towards curling tong never dies and finally today... I've gotten the much wanted and awaited curling tong, thanks to the doubling of my salary and also workload.

So, at the end of the day, I will tell you I totally deserve the superb curling tong!

Taa daah...


Yes, my very own first ever salon ceramic curling tong from Philips! You did not read wrongly, it's ceramic, baby and it's DAMN amazing!

You only need to switch it on and wait for a minute for the tong to heat up before you can start curling away! After sectioning your hair, miraculously, the tong will do it's job and delivers perfect salon finish curls in not more than 15 seconds!


Amazing or not? The curls stay there for more than 3 hours already without mousse or hairspray and when I'm typing this entry, the curls are still strong!

Oh, right, it isn't that expensive too - RM59 only!

Before owning this baby, I have in hand a normal iron curling tong which I bought from Sing Kwong at Bintulu for RM17. I'd say it'd done it's job pretty well and I do love it still even though Baby Philips has come into my life!


The curls delivered by this iron curling tong are nice but the problem is, they don't last longer than 30 minutes. Even with hairspray or mousse, they'll most probably last for around 1 hour or so before becoming straight again.


I was really sad because I spent a lot of time curling my hair using the normal iron curling tong and the style only lasted one hour or so! Everytime I curl my hair using the normal tong, it'd take more than 45 minutes but with the new Philips, I only used not more than 30 minutes to achieve the look I want!

Lemme just show you a picture so that you can do comparison...


Sorry if I looked a little bit shocked and tired because I just got home from work and straight away tried this baby out!

The left side of my hair is curled using the normal curling tong while the other side used the SalonCurl Ceramic Curling Iron. Both sides were left undisturbed for 1 hour before pictures are taken and thus, there you go, that is the result!

Here, these are the finishing looks with the new baby!


I should retire to bed already. Good night, people! Lemme know if the hair is nice or not if possible. Haha... alright, nights, people!

Please pray for me...

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 1:18 PM 1 hug(s)
Life has been really hectic for me lately that honestly there were times when I'd sit down and ask myself, what is the main purpose for me to work so hard but at the end of the day, I'm the one who would collapse to the bed and sleep like a log.

This cycle repeats everyday and nowadays, I don't even have the time to go shopping or even camwhoring any longer!

I totally miss my degree years!

But I'm not going to complain about my life for just a while because I'm really looking forward for Monday to come because then... then... then...

Darn... I shouldn't announce first because I'm not even sure if it would happen or not but deep down in my heart, I'm praying hard for it to happen. I even took a day's leave on Monday just to keep myself free.

Please, people, pray for me so that everything will go smoothly on Monday. I'm really looking forward to that day because I think I deserve that day.

*prays hard*

*prays hard*

*prays hard*

Update again soon but honestly, I think it'd be canceled. I don't know why but I've that feeling because history repeats. Sigh... sigh... sigh...

Anyway, before it happens, Imma just going to pray hard and pray hard again so that God hears my prayer and let miracle happens.

I nearly died...

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 12:27 AM 3 hug(s)
I'm such a nice girl, why did that happen to me?

Gawd, fuck those Indian guys!

I'm not a racist but I'm only stating the truth. I hold nothing against other races in fact, I find that most of the Indians I know are cool and undeniably sweet as well as good-looking.

Remember this and this? OMG... did I mention before that he's an Indian? If I didn't, there you go, yes, that guy is totally a heartthrob!

Again, there is this customer of mine, let's just call him Jason. He's working of American Express Malaysia and gawd, he is damn hawt, alright? I always will remember him for his oh-so-sweet smile! He has got dimple! When you pair dimple with a smiley person, it makes a perfect pair! Darn... My heart always melts whenever Jason drops by for his usual Caramel Macchiato. I've been seeing him on and off at The Weld and whenever we see each other, he'll always smile at me and I love his smile!

Geez... What is happening to me? I should be telling you guys about what happened yesterday and not about how hawt Jason or the other guy is...

Anyway, I was on my way home from my workplace at Jalan Ipoh around 5p.m. yesterday when I stopped to make a phone call. So, as I was busy dialling the number on my mobile's screen, all of a sudden, I noticed a motorbike with two fucking Indians approached me. They stopped their engine and one of them pointed a knife at me!

Imagine what the hell did those two motherfuckers do!

Go home and fuck your mothers if you need money so much!

I'm not being rude but those two motherfuckers should just die and go to hell!

Lucky I was in the car and I was luckier because Bernard's car lock is the type that will automatically locked whenever the engine starts. I cannot imagine what will happen if the door was not locked and all.

I might even be dead!

Fuck them!

My brother said I should just drove off and maybe ran into them so that they would be dead and that would send them to hell.

I was goddamn shocked and couldn't even drive for the next few seconds before I realized these two stupid motherfuckers were still outside! Then, I sped home, being so freaking scared that they would follow me home!

Argh... Next time I should carry a baseball bat everywhere I go or maybe I'll just carry few pieces of firecrackers just in case somebody attacks me, I can light up the firecracker and throw it out of the window while laughing at how they are going to get burned!

Losers!

I'm the biggest failure ever in history...

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 11:02 PM 0 hug(s)
I failed terribly during the learning audit today...

Dammit... what was I doing?

I made damn lotsa stupid mistakes that I'm NOT supposed to even make during my shift. I forgot tumbler discounts, I kept on voiding bills after bills!

Today is indeed a blue Monday!

I hate Mondays!

How can I not know what a DRB is? Fuck man, fuck! I should have known all these littlest details so that I can score well but heck, what happened to me during the audit?

Sigh...

I was in a mess this morning!

Sigh...

Darn...

On the bright side of life, I think somehow, he's taking initiative to make things better between us but honestly I don't know if I should be feeling this way since it's really hard for me to put everything behind.

He was actually trying to pull a joke but I ended up going, "Huh?"

I'm really feeling so goddamn terrible!

Would somebody help me?

When I fall in love...

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 11:48 PM 0 hug(s)
Before you think, "This girl is falling in love? Not again?!"

Yes, I'm in love but...

I'm NOT in love with a person but something else...

I was going to update on Day 4 at Bangkok but then again, I thought why not share with you guys regarding something else since if I tell you guys too much stories of my vacation, it'll bore you to death!

I was really bored this morning because not a lot of customers drop by as there was Pasar Tengah Hari going on.

So, I camwhored!


Yes, that is me, trying to show off my long hair together with Starbuck's new Hawaiian hat! Gawd, I fall in love with my long hair and yes, I truly regret now for chopping off my long hair!


Ohai, that is me, trying to imitate MJ's infamous pose!


Aloha, that is me, trying to imitate the Angelina Jolie's lips!


Hello, that is me, trying to imitate Christina Aguilera's Genie in the Bottle's pose.


Again, that is me, trying to act cool after knowing every pose is going to fail because I totally sucks big time in imitating poses by artistes! Therefore, in the end, I decided to be cute!


I know I'm cute, right? Yeah, you on't need to remind me of that. Muahahaha... I'm trying to apply self-praise here now.

Lemme tell you about the whole story on my new love, my long hair...

Now, I can carry any styles I want with my long hair be it curly, wavy or straight! Everyone agrees that I look better with long hair and I freaking don't understand why in world would I be so stupid to chop it off earlier because of somebody.

I'll show you why...


I love the new length of my hair. I love the feeling of the hair touching my sexy butt. I love the sexy feeling I have now. I love the confidence in me with my new long hair.

Darn, I'm in love with my new hair, can you freaking believe it?


Ohai, this is me again, trying to show off my new style. I curled the hair myself, okay? I spent 15 minutes or so doing that and let me repeat again... I fall in love again, people...

With my long hair...

Bangkok - Day 3

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 2:31 PM 0 hug(s)
Day 3 was honestly tiring. We traveled quite far from Thong Lo to Sapan Taksin and some more, it was quite early in the morning!

Argh... there went my beauty sleep...

Before we went onboard the boat, I was having stomach discomfort due to the extra spicy beef stew noodles I had the day before. I had to go to the washroom... So, into the washroom I went and saw this sign...


The Thais are smart people. They know some of the civilians or even tourists tend to do that, thus, it explains why there is sign like this in the washroom.

Anyway, I was just trying to be funny although I know it isn't so funny.

We boarded a boat for 120 Baht each.


There were nothing much to see except some other boats, buildings, houses and so on. It felt exactly like the boat ride in Malacca. The only difference was that there was somebody explaining in details each temple or wat that we passed by.


Our first stop was The Grand Palace... The palace is as grand and majestic as the name itself.


Geez... Thanks to my triple XXL shirt that I look so damn fat can die in the picture above. I have a love-hate relationship with the shirt itself. I love it because it is free and I hate it because it makes me look fat everytime I wear it. Darn... Why?


I know the picture above doesn't do any justice but if you happen to be at Bangkok, do pay The Grand Palace a visit. In addition to that, if you're a big fan of gold, yes, literally, physically and mentally, gold... go to The Grand Palace.

The reason is...


Some of the buildings in The Grand Palace are decorated using those pieces of gold and one piece costs USD$1. So, you can go on and guess how many pieces of gold were used to build one building like this...


Besides gold, gems like sapphire, ruby and emerald were also used. You can still see the sparkling gems even though decades have passed since the reign of King Rama I.


If you have been to The Grand Palace, look around and you'll see picture like the one shown below...


GOLD!

Darn, The Thais are rich people! The drawings on the palace's wall are painted with gold! Yes, as in REAL gold!

The picture below is the infamous Angkor Wat. Since Angkor Wat is in Cambodia, this is the recreated mini version that can be found in The Grand Palace.


Within the palace itself, there are a lot of other spots to look forward to like What Phra Kaew or better known as Temple of The Emerald Buddha. We were told not to take picture in sacred places, so, there's no picture of the temple.

Do you guys remember the movie Anna and The King? Damn... I didn't even watch the movie and I didn't even realize Dusit Maha Prasat was one of the places where the filming of the movie took place...


See, I told you I have love-hate relationship with my Sony shirt. Whatever... The Dusit Hall is indeed more than just majestic. Instead, it is so beautiful and heavenly with the combination of Thai and Western decorations.

After The Grand Palace, we proceeded to Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. It looks something like a palace but if I've gotten the name wrong, forgive me. I'm bad at remembering Thai names. Well... you'll get access to this place if you've paid for the entrance fee of 350 Baht for The Grand Palace in the very first place.


We were needed to buy a piece of long skirt look alike thingy before entering the hall that costs 40 Baht. I think it was unnecessary because the skirt serves as table cloth now. What a waste of money! Pictures are not allowed in the hall, so, no pictures but all that is inside the hall is weaving!

Oh, for your information, in the first picture taken in front of the hall, the first girl to your right was our tourist guide. Her name is Game. Yes, literally.

Lastly... Do you guys remember this?


I bet you guys have heard enough about it. You guys have even seen the cartoon version in Street Fighter. Muahahaha... We went to the Temple of The Reclining Buddha!


Yes, people, that is the infamous Reclining Buddha! The statue is really, so, so, so, so and so big that my camera almost couldn't take a full picture of it!

Our final stop for the day was Khao San Road. If you guys don't know, Khao San Road is really famous among backpackers and at Khao San Road, you can get everything you want just as long as you know the art of negotiation and bargaining!

~ Sherene and I at the wharf while waiting for the boat to go to Khao San Road ~

Lemme tell you... I've been waiting for the day to go to Khao San Road since forever! When I was there, I was damn happy, alright?

The reason was...


Yes, people, my hair has grown long in just one hour!

Muahahaha... I went for hair extension at Khao San Road and it was filthy cheap, okay? Walao eh... everything at Khao San Road is so affordable that if you're interested in eyelashes' extension, it'll start at 300 Baht.

Damn... if only Malaysia offers RM30 for eyelashes' extension, I think I'll go and extend my eyelashes every week!

Back to the topic of hair extension...

I love the length f my long hair now and I terribly regret cutting my hair because of a guy 2 months ago. I swear, yes, I SWEAR, I will NEVER cut my hair ever again!

Sherene and her sister did braiding while waiting for me...


Sorry for the blurry picture. Haha... Anyway, I'm going to end here now... I wanna go bathe and then, perhaps, go to sleep early since I'm doing opening shift tomorrow!

Bangkok - Day 2

Scribbled by Angel Valerie at 11:26 PM 0 hug(s)
I'm so freaking sorry for the delay of the day 2 entry. I said so before, I'm a busy woman. Haha... yeah, life has been hectic since work started last week. Tomorrow alone, I've to travel from Sentul to Kelana Jaya to teach at 10a.m. to 1p.m. and then, from Kelana Jaya to Jalan Ipoh for another class at 2p.m. to 4p.m.

At this rate, I think my life span will become shorter already...

Anyway, I'll complain later because friends have been asking about day 2 already. Here goes nothing...

Day 2 at Bangkok was spent at Platinum Mall. I know from the name, it sounded like a very high class shopping center but no, it isn't a super duper high class shopping haven but you can have it in mind that it looks like Times Square or Sg. Wang too. The only obvious difference is that the things at Platinum Mall are dirt cheaper than those at Times Square or Sg. Wang.

Lemme show you some of the things we've bought...

~ My gladiator for RM40, super comfy ~

~ Viv's super cute gladiator for around RM40 I supposed ~

~ Sherene's super duper classy and unique Mary Jane at RM30, I think ~

Ah, pardon me, I'm bad at numbers, so, sorry, I cannot remember the prices for all the footwears. Well, it makes no difference even if I remember also, right?

Anyway, while we were on our way to Platinum, we passed by few other shopping centers like Zen, Gaysorn, Central Plaza and Amarin Plaza, we did stop by few places to take pictures...


We had our lunch at Platinum Mall's food court and believe it or not, they have one of the most amazing Somtams I've ever tasted! Gawd, I miss their Somtam already!


They have a variety to different Somtams to choose from. Three of us were particularly enthusiatic about the crabs at the corner of the glass.


I think I did ask Sherene regarding how are they going to add the crabs into the Somtam and right before our very eyes, one of the staff, took one of the black crabs and tore it apart into pieces before proceeding to grind it.

Sherene and I went, "Oh, yucks!"

We said no more and ordered the normal Somtam without anything added.

Lemme show you another close up picture of the crabs!


I even bought Iced Lemon Tea from Black Canyon Coffee at 40 Baht. Dirt cheap for a medium sized drink!


Can you guys believe that Black Canyon Coffee has a store or branch on every floor in Platinum Mall? It was really mad, alright? Imagine they have 6 or 7 floors and maybe one of two floors even have 2 or more branches on the same floor!

Black Canyon Coffee is mad in Bangkok!

Afterwards, we took a Tuk Tuk home for 160 Baht - damn expensive for three persons because after I've talked to Jeremy, he said we shouldn't take Tuk Tuk in fact because it was too expensive in Bangkok!


The Tuk Tuk guy cannot take good picture. Just look at the picture above... He cut off my head and body. Probably because I looked terrible that day and he didn't like me at all!

Since we had our lunch quite late that day, we've decided to go back to our hostel for dinner. Yes, we had something all of you eat everyday at our hostel...


Check out my expression, people! I guess a picture paints a thousand words, right? Haha... It was really funny though why would we end up eating only instant noodles at the hostel instead of going out for dinner.

After dinner, yeaps, like usual, our camwhoring session continues... I wanted to act cute and came up with something like this...


Mission failed... I cannot be cute, darn!

Then, I decided if I cannot be cute, I should camwhore with someone cute to make myself look cute also!


I just adore these 2 pictures, I don't know why. Perhaps Sherene really has her attraction because she really makes the picture so much cuter rather than having me posing alone! Hahaha...

Darn... I need to get my sleep already. Day 3 would be interesting! Update tomorrow!
