Spa Girl says Watsu is massage magic for water babies like me!


Founded in the early 1980’s by Harold Dull director of the Harbin School of Shiatsu and Massage in California, Watsu is a magical aquatic massage therapy.

Floating weightlessly in a warm pool the Watsu therapist guides your body through a series of gentle movements and stretches intended to completely relax the body and mind. For those of you who have done any water exercise programs know that working out in water is fabulous as the water supports the entire body and lets you push just that wee bit further without injury. At the heart of Watsu is a combination of shiatsu and ancient Chinese pressure-point therapy intended to help with the bodies energy flow along the meridian points, elements of massage, joint mobilization, muscle stretching and dance are also part of this amazing water therapy.

Many years ago at the height of their popularity I routinely headed for the floatation tanks and found them just amazing. Like floating, Watsu slows your mind down and as your body relaxes in warm water (around 35°C.) you can find yourself in a dream-like state. I found when I floated I could put an idea in my mind and then watch as the idea unraveled, often solving some difficult questions for me. Clearly when you have an opportunity to relax both the mind and the body it helps relieve overall stress and definitely makes for a better sleep! And Spa Girl asks who doesn’t need that!

Watsu is finding a place in many international health and wellness spas as well as in aquatic physiotherapy programmes, aiding recovery from injury, relieving muscular and joint pain and encouraging movement and flexibility.

While I have only participated in Watsu in a dedicated pool, I understand that in Chilean Patagonia and Argentina are some of the best thermal waters with therapeutic effects which combined with Watsu, well lets just say it is an out of body experience.

So if you think this therapy is for you check out hot springs in your area and see if they offer Watsu, if not head to your favourite Spa and Watsu baby, Watsu!

Crystal's Best Friend

Today I got one of the weirdest FB message from one of the weirdest people I've ever heard from:





Because you are obviously bonkers.

And you don't use 's correctly.


I don't understand why she has to keep asking me how Disneyland was. Is it that important? It's all on my fucking blog wtf.


p/s: No, I don't know Crystal Siew at all, ok? That's why it's funny, coz she (Miu) is so random!

p/p/s: What's all this about me being MEAN?? I mosaic-ed her face and name what! Not like anyone knows who this is... WTF. State opinion about an unknown person also cannot??


UPDATE: OMG! So many of your moralistic fucksticks reading me! Yabbering this and that about how old this chick and is all... Listen: WHO GIVES A FUCK WHETHER SHE IS 6 or 60??

The point is I didn't state her name or post her photo!


For all you know she could be a fictional character I created... Then you'd feel really stupid now, won't you??

And besides, when I posted this, I didn't even click on her profile. I didn't know how old she was, but even if I did, I doubt it would have changed a single thing.

It beats the hell out of me how so many of you saints managed to find her fb profile.

Fucking ironic too, if you ask me.

If this annoys you, if you think that I'm abusing my 'power' and that I'm mean-spirited, you know what to do don't you?

STOP FUCKING READING MY BLOG!

But instead, there you are, reading, commenting, and even going on fb to search for this chick's fb profile and nitpicking shit. Ridiculous.

And some of you are pitying this supposedly poor girl. Save your condescending sympathy. There are much sadder beings out there than a girl who was called bonkers by a blogger she pestered, ok?? And since when did you care so much? Go channel your energies to consoling people whose families died in natural disasters can?

There are over 3 billion blogs out there... Surely there are a few that are up to your high moralistic standards. So go read those, and stop trying to change me or tell me what to do. It's not gonna work.

Spa Girl says a rosemary infused bath fixes almost everything!





One of my all time favourite plants for cooking and bathing is rosemary, and as I have said many times, in many different ways, a good bath fixes almost everything. Now if only someone would renovate my bathroom with a jetted soaker tub (preferably copper) I would be in heaven.

On the mend from H1N1 and having some regained energy I decided to dig into that wonderful pail of spa goodies from my friend Indigo and have a decadent rosemary oil body scrub and a hot bath. Oh yes!

Rosemary is known for revival powers, it helps clear the mind and helps with nasal congestion, all good things on the path to recovery. It is known as the herb of remembrance. The plant produces an almost colorless essential oil with a strong, fresh, camphor aroma.

Like a good massage, lightly scrubbing your body in a circular motion with a loofah or textured sponge improves circulation as it cleanses and exfoliates the skin. I always start with my feet and work my way up to hands, arms, shoulders, down the back—you may want help for this area—and then to my tummy towards the heart.

I use one cup of medium Dead Sea salts (not to fine, not to coarse) and 1/2 cup of rosemary oil and mix together in a bowl. Alternatively you can dip your loofah or sponge in the oil then the salts and go from there. I generally stand in the tub because it can be messy. Once I have revitalized my entire body I fill the tub and sink into the hot heavenly smells of the rosemary oil. I also have a few fresh sprigs floating about. The salt will make your skin feel like silk. I then rinse off under the shower and pat dry and use my favourite organic moisturizer—a new woman is born.

Asus SaberTooth 55i motherboard - A complete Review

ASUS has long been the leader in providing innovative motherboard solutions. Once again it has taken the lead by launching today the first "TUF" (The Ultimate Force) Series of motherboard called the SABERTOOTH 55i. As the name suggests the TUF Series has been specially developed for the heavy computing of geeks and also perform very well under extreme conditions (read - over-clocking).

Geeks have always had a desire for high-quality motherboard components and also the need for very stable computing platforms, and this seems to have achieved uncompromising stability with the new TUF Series motherboards.
Asus has claimed that the SaberTooth 55i motherboards have even passed the most demanding military-style testing and yet even in the harshest operating conditions they have been able to deliver robust performance.

The SaberTooth 55i motherboard is designed around what is known as a "Marine Cool" concept which incorporates the Intel® P55 chipset and also the all new "tough" features to give users a supremely solid and stable computing platform.
SaberTooth 55i motherboard employs What is known as the unique CeraM!X microfin coating and also military level tested capacitors and VRM MOSFETs to give users increased operational stability.

More about the unique Ultimate Heatsink Cooling system with CeraM!X Microfin Coating
SaberTooth 55i motherboard comes with the new CeraM!X heatsink which easily delivers exceptional cooling to active components and also gives uncompromising system stability even under intense operating conditions. SaberTooth 55i motherboard's advanced ceramics-based composition is something that is commonly used in the aerospace industry for heat insulation. This new heatsink dissipates heat rapidly to achieve ultimate cooling. Ceramics have replaced the traditional anti-oxidant compounds to create a microfin surface texture for enhanced cooling. This rough surface offers an expanded area for heat induction into the surrounding air. As a result, more heat is rapidly conducted away from the active system-allowing users to enjoy previously unattainable levels of stability.

Direct Memory Cooling with Affordable CoolMem! Fan Frame SaberTooth 55i motherboard realises the need for an optimal memory operation - which squarely relies on good cooling. SaberTooth 55i motherboardhas the CoolMem! Fan Frame that can easily enclose most standard 40mm or 50mm computer fans and also fits them directly over the memory module. So you can gain an affordable cooling solution that significantly stabilizes memory operation.

Resilient Performance from Military-certified Capacitors and MOSFETs
SaberTooth 55i motherboard ensures users to experience uncompromising performance by incorporating only high-grade, rigorously-tested components. These perform robustly even under the most demanding conditions. Take for example, all its capacitors have undergone thermal shock tests to ensure continuous, stable operations during rapid temperature changes in the 60°C range. In fact, all its capacitors and VRM MOSFETs have been certified for military-level use through stringent testing.

Optimized Power Use with E.S.P.
SaberTooth 55i motherboard delivers E.S.P. (Efficient Switching Power) to all major components for superb system efficiency. Besides delivering efficient power to the CPU and memory, the power design also applies the same level of efficient power to the PCIex16 expansion slots and IC. This improves overall power efficiency and reduces the amount of heat generated-resulting in cooler and more reliable operations. Additionally, the E.S.P. converts power at 90% efficiency compared to a conventional linear design that is only about 60% efficient. Built for robust performance, the SABERTOOTH 55i-and ASUS TUF Series motherboards as a whole-incorporates the latest breakthroughs in heatsink composition and high-grade, military-tested components to enable users to build their DIY systems around one of the most solid and stable motherboards ever created.

Disneyland Hongkong Part 1!

Thanks to Disneyland Hong Kong for sponsoring this super fun trip for us bloggers!

Well, they are not vetting or paying for this so I guess this is a normal post and not an advert! :D


To start with... THIS TRIP WAS SUPER FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Like everyone said it was so enjoyable!


In fact, I don't remember the last time I went to Disneyland, in LA, as being even CLOSE to this fun! (Post here)


DEFINITELY one of my best holidays...



I guess it's coz of the company... Everyone was nice, funny, and I especially LOVE the girl bloggers coz they are all so vain, camwhorish and bimbotic! Like me!! HAHAHA

Ok lah I guess Estee, Ming's girlfriend, is the mature one but the rest of the girls are all decidedly childish (I mean that in a good way), even Redmummy who is a mother of 2!! LOL

Us girls were being so frivolous wearing Disney merchandise and shopping and snapping like SHITLOADS of photos...

We went to Hongkong for 2.5 days and Day 1 and 2 were for exploring Disneyland... Day 2's night and Day 3 were for SHOPPING!

It was mad awesome.

About 200 photos so I'm splitting the post into 2 days...




Touch down at Hongkong's airport... Can you spot my luggage?



Mike panicking while waiting for his



With the SG bloggers Ming and Estee


In the cab

I snapped this shot and I told everyone I'm going to caption it "In the cab". They all agreed it's a snappy caption and that I put loads of effort into blogging.



Reached Disneyland Hotel!!!

LOVE IT! The place is decorated rather old-school Victorian style... Classy and grand but not too stuffy. And you know... With cartoons!

Put down our luggage and went for lunch with the Msian bloggers...



Ketchup Mickey kinda looks like boobs



There they are, already snapping shots!!


From left: Redmummy, Cheesie, Audrey and Tim (holding cam).


Bloggers very competitive one ok everything also must snap photos of!



Ming and Estee pondering over what to eat



Cute kids are everywhere!



Here are the girls' food





I just ordered fries with what looks like freshly whipped homemade mayo! Yums



Cheesie and Audrey camwhoring with my camera!





Decorations in Xmas themes



Our receptionist



And here's our room!!

There's two queen sized beds lah! Perfect for families but one bed was completely unused in my case...

NO WAIT IT WAS USED! To pile all my shopping on! MUAHAHA



Guess what the telly was showing?



Even the sheets are Alice in Wonderland themed!




Castled headboard


Me being silly while Mike showers... :)



So cute! All these can be brought back home if you wished to!







The various dwarves are so useful!



Here are the bedroom slippers in Baby, Mama and Papa sizes! Middle one's missing coz I was wearing it! Same thing for bathrobes.



In case you didn't know what it was.



That's it for the rooms!

We adjoin downstairs to meet the Disney Reps for a meeting!

They were oh-so-generous and ordered shitloads of High Tea-ish stuff for us! Sorry lah I dunno what these are called...









Tray after tray arrived... Totally cannot finish lor!



Me with ribbon hair! I thought it could perhaps pass off as Mickey-ish ears??





And here's our map for later!


It's huge! I know a lot of you say that the Disneyland in Hongkong is tiny, and it is, in comparison to the ones in Florida or LA... But so what?

I still think it's bloody big!



And I'm not just saying that coz I went on a sponsored trip.


It's big enough to occupy you for 1 whole day, that's for sure... Which is more than enough for me lor.

Doesn't mean smaller = not enjoyable what!




Here's a group pic of us + Disney reps (in black, back row)!



We were all given this little spectacles, which is actually called a Hologram Viewer (according to Cheesie, wrong blame her)!


IT IS SUPER MAGICAL I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


See the little heart at the bottom?

When you look thru the 'lens', all the lights around you will magically form a HEART SHAPE OMGWTFBBQ!!


It's true!



Here's the best picture I could take via my camera, but when you look through it, it is VERY distinct!

It makes everything around look SO GORGEOUS!

And the reason why we were given this is coz the park is very well lit up at night, and when you see FIREWORKS through the hologram viewer, it's a completely surreal experience!

Comes in Snowflake, Heart and Snowmen patterns! And can only get this from DISNEY!




Redmummy dangerously camwhoring on the road...
Bus almost knocked her down lor



Mike and I



With the cute Malaysian girls... Why are they so cute omg!



With Redmummy too! She looks damn young but is 34!



And we arrive in DISNEYLAND!!!!!!






So excited must camwhore





Here's Mickey riding what looks like the Twitter fail whale



Tickets!



The dudes checking our bags...

SERIOUSLY OK... This guy's name is JOKER.

I saw his name tag said Joker, so I asked him if his name is really Joker and he said yes!!!!!!!!

It's not only funny but terribly ironic for a security guard whose job is really kinda nothing like a joke. LOL!!!!!!!




MICKEY!




Part of what makes Disneyland so magical is that there is music EVERYWHERE you go!!!!!

(AND NO SMOKERS HAHAHAHA!)

Like no matter which part of the park you are at, happy music is always piping and lifting your mood!



This choral group was singing underneath the crazy tall Xmas tree!





Audrey hologramming



Awwww so cute!!

I had to FORCE him to let me take a pic of him with Stitch on his head...



And it was time for the Xmas parade!!!!



One of the pretty parade girls...



And the Xmas tree flashes different sets of lights!! Very breath-taking...



Nicely sets the mood for Xmas





Mike's hood flew up!!



KISS KISS!!





With the girls!


And we enter Small World or whatever it's called lah...







So pretty omg



Figurines gliding out of the castle...



Chio backdrop!



Us on the ride... We got a pink car! So lucky!

The ride was very peaceful and "It's a Small World" kept playing over and over again in many different languages!

We went from continent to continent... Quite fun to spot the different nationalities!











O hai! Didn't know you worked in Disneyland...



Me to Mike: "BABY! It's Texas!"



The special Xmas theme with Lil Bo Peep and her... Duck?










And done! After this we go on the Tea Cups!





Spinning round and round!

Once the guards let our batch in everyone started to RUN for their favourite tea cup...

It was ridiculous... I tried to get in two different tea cups but each time was cut off by some rude kid rushing in first!

Some other kid and I were then running for the last cup so I ran damn fast and elbowed the bitch out of the way!

That's for disrespecting your elders stupid girl! Hmpf! Anyway Cheesie saw this disgraceful scene and laughed at me.

WHAT?

I got snatched TWICE of what was rightfully mine ok! I came first and they robbed me of my cups!

Nasty rude kids. Ahem.


And finally, it's time for the FIREWORKS!!!

Everyone was so excited...



Ridiculously chio castle...





AND BOOM!!!!!!



So pretty!!




My favourite was to watch the colourful fireworks (such as the above) with the hologram viewer!!!!!!!

Cheesie managed to snap a really good shot of how it will look like so I stole a piccie from her blog:


Credits Cheeserland


Here's how it looks like on a colourful Xmas tree so imagine how the fireworks would look like! MAD MAD MAD MAD MAD CHIO!






After many failed shots of the fireworks (obviously not posted up since FAIL), I decided to just enjoy it instead of frantically snapping photos with the blasted (punny hahaha) Fireworks mode on my Lumix which kinda sucks...


It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME.


Of ALL the fireworks shows I've EVER seen in my entire this, this Disney one is BY FAR THE BEST!!!!!!!


Not only is it shooting off aside a gorgeous castle, there was also beautiful music...

Music from all our favourite cartoons that filled us with wonder and hope and whatever good feelings there are when we were kids...

And the HOLOGRAM VIEWER OMG!

Disney oughta pay the inventor like a zillion dollars coz watching fireworks with the hologram viewer just makes it SO MUCH MORE FUN!!!!!


For a long moment you just forget about all the nasty stuff in the world like that weird itch or your balding problem... It's just beauty and magic and glitter and hologram chioness!!!!!


It was nice...................

So nice............



I'm actually still having Disney withdrawal symptoms.

Oh well I'd go back there soon!


Part 2 will be coming up shortly!! It's even longer than this entry -_-


:D :D :D :D


I had a really fun time so anyone who didn't are either grumpy prudes or just didn't go with the right company/in the right weather. I love Disneyland (any Disneyland in the world for that matter) and will delete spoilsport comments which say it's not fun!


Stop spoiling shit for others goddamn it!


Linkies for my travel buddies:

CHEESIE - REDMUMMY - AUDREY - TIM - MING - ESTEE


Mike is the most shiok of all coz he went on free trip and doesn't need to blog about it!
