Filthy Fortune KL with EDZ @ Prodigy KL

Just so you know, I'm finally done with uni! :D Good thing about my finals this time is that I get to have a few days off before the my final presentation so I decided to take a night off from studying to take a breather. All thanks to Manoah, I had the chance to party with fellow bloggers last Friday night at this new place, Prodigy KL that used to be Butter Factory.  

PRODIGY KL presents you FILTH FORTUNE every Friday!  
 Last Friday, it was DJ EDZ who showcased filthy beats, bass lines, and a fist pumping experience, featuring both EDM and commercial hits that was enough to make the whole crowd wild all night long! 
The exterior of the club. 


My party partner of the night that needs no introduction -- Joeann and I (:  

It was still early while we were there, so I had the chance to take some photos of the interior before the crowd builds in. All photos are taken by NX mini, I love how convenient it is to bring it anywhere!
The main stage.  


I love how they have this classy corner with swing at the entrance, perfect place to take your ootn. 

HEH Of course I didn't miss the chance to take my #OOTN 

How awesome that we were seated just beside the main stage. 


The party won't start till I walk in... #justkidding. By midnight, the crowd are pretty much pumped up on the dance floor with the awesome set played by DJ EDZ. A mixture of trance and house music, and of course some mainstream club hits, I still enjoy myself though I felt  the set could have been better \m/

I like how the place isn't too packed despite the crowd so it's really comfortable to dance around without worrying being squashed like sardines. 

You spin my head right round, right round, when you go down, when you go down down. 

More selfie break :3

Don, Lisa and I :DDD

Wink and Shoot!

I'm pretty sure everyone must have jump on the selfie bandwagon (at least once, don't you dare to lie) before or some might be still under the selfie fever ever since it existed. It's a word we hear so often these days that it was announced being the word of the year and made into the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary last year. No, I'm not gonna talk about the history of selfie and its evolution but I'm gonna talk about the ultimate selfie machine. Yes, it's the Samsung NX Mini that brings selfie to a whole new level! Like I mentioned before in my previous post, The NX Mini has three ways to activate a selfie: normal mode, smile shot and the wink shot. 

On normal mode, you will need to press the shutter to capture a selfie or you can have a 3 seconds countdown timer set, so you can quickly prime yourself for a selfie shot. The smile shot captures instantly when it detects a big, cheesy smile! Even if there's only one person smiling among a bunch of people frowning in the background. That is definitely my friends' favourite mode but it can be tricky sometimes cause everyone have to smile at the same time or else it could have fire off early when it detects one of them smiling while others are still preparing themselves. You have no idea how many funny photos I get from this shot. 

Last but not least, the wink mode that I love the most! Once it detects a wink, it will start on a 3 seconds countdown timer as well and capture your wink shot. It's not as sensitive as the smile shot, but it still work most of the time for me. The downside is that it wouldn't detect your wink if you're wearing glasses. 

Alright, time to put the wink shot into test! 

Flip over the screen and it will automatically be on the self mode.
Click on the face detection and choose the wink mode. 
Give in your cutest wink pose and wait for it to capture automatically after two seconds.
No button required, just a wink will do (;
Smile is optional but I'm sure you don't wanna look like you had a face paralysis HEH

Maintaining a flattering pose while attempting to press the shutter button when one is selfie-ing can be challenging unless you're the selfie queen, but the NX mini's wink mode sure makes it easy peasy! Who knows they may come out with more interesting modes in the future, like a duck face mode HAHAHA 

Before I head back to studying and preparing for finals, let me take a selfie ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Now this is the toothache pose -- it makes your face looks slimmer without the use of photoshop and yes, I was trying to act cute :P 

Till then, have an awesome weekend ahead!

Head-to-Toe Pampering Session at Pink Passion Salon

Nowadays, we tend to let hectic lifestyles take over us that leads to overloaded stress both physically and mentally. It is important  for us to take some time once in a while to recharge and unwind. Nothing is more indulgent, relaxing, and restoring than a head-to-toe pampering session. I bet you guys have heard plenty about Pink Passion's Eyelash Extension service but they do other services ranging from facial to body as well. Thanks to Pink Passion for inviting me over to their saloon again to try out two of new treatments which is the Intensive Face Lymphatic Treatment and the Chinese Deep Tissue Massage respectively. The invitation came just on the right time since I have been wanting to get a full body massage. 

So I made an appointment with them earlier last month on one of the weekdays. I was quite early that day so the beautician brought me right away to change in the treatment room. The first thing I noticed in the room was the fairy lights!


Dim-lighted room and soothing music is definitely the perfect combo for a relaxing facial session.
So, the beautician started off with the normal facial routine that includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, mask, extractions as well as shoulder and head massage. The massage was really good! She added ampoule for me too for better moisturizing function and enhance skin absorption.
Intensive Face Lympathic Treatment is a fusion of an Eastern traditional practice and Western lymphatic detoxification to promote blood circulation and help with lymphatic drainage to remove toxins from the entire face as it targets on facial acupunture and meridian points. This treatment has been adapted by Pink Passion and given a modern twist with Ginseng and Eucalyptus to fight stress-caused conditions and to stimulate and bring a new radiance to the skin and leaves the face with revitalized and glowing skin. It also helps to reduce wrinkles and improve elasticity of skin. This treatment is suitable for those who afflicted with dull, dry skin and/or eye bags and dark eye circles due to poor blood circulation. In other word, it is also called Facial Guasa Treatment that uses the horns of water buffaloes. 

The first thought that came to my mind was will it cause any bruising to my face like how Guasa usually does to the body. My beautician reassured me that it will not cause any redness AT ALL and it will be a PAIN-FREE treatment. She first applied some lavender essential oil on my face and did some focal pressing and light scraping. 

It was indeed painless, in fact the whole treatment was very comfortable and calming. 
The aftermath; no redness or bruising after the guasa treatment. 

Lastly, I had another 15 mins of double mask treatment at the end of the treatment. The whole facial session took around 2 hours and I would totally recommend this!  

After my facial session, I was brought to the massage room for my second treatment.
The massage room. 
They even provided shower cap and disposable underwear. 

Another section of the room that has a jacuzzi tub and a shower place. 

Prior to the massage, I was asked to undress and take a soak in a tub filled with warm water and essential oil for a maximum of 20 minutes called Kneipp Hydrotherapy Jacuzzi treatment. It is basically a bath spa with soothing jets pressure that promotes relaxation to your muscles and improves blood circulation. With the jacuzzi treatment, you’ll enjoy a better massage as it allows your massage therapist to work deeper without feeling pain. You can even take a power nap cause it's that relaxing. You will find yourself sweating during the jacuzzi treatment, but it's normal and you're advised to not stay in for more than 20 minutes.

I took a quick shower after the jacuzzi bath and called out for the massage therapist. You will be required to be totally undressed (hence no photos of me during the massage session :P) but no worries, cause you will be properly draped. The massage therapist was really professional and experienced. The only area exposed will be the area being worked on by the therapist. Overall, the deep tissue massage session was an invigorating experience. She started off from my back with a good amount of pressure and then to my peripheral limbs. She targeted mostly on the deep tissues as well as trigger points. By the time the massage ended an hour later, I felt myself loose and relaxed. I was advised to drink a lot of water to hydrate myself. It did feel a bit sore the next day but most importantly, I had a really good sleep that night since I've been having insomnia for quite some time. 

Here are some useful tips for those who are going for a massage:
  • Eat light at least an hour before your session. Having a small amount of food in your stomach will prevent you from feeling hungry without causing you to feel bloated. 
  • Communicate with your massage therapist. Make sure that she is aware of your comfort level with the intensity of the pressure, so give your feedback to help the therapist understand your needs.
  • Just relax and enjoy the massage (: 
  • Hydrate yourself with plenty of water after therapy! Herbal teas are good too.
