Then today sunday, went for facial, and I was in heaven again, next stop did my manicure , pedicure... O since I was in the mood for indulgence , I took the foot care package, did you know that there is scrub and mask especially for your nails?...and my toes look oooh sooo pretty.. It is such heaven to be able to indulge once a while.....Anyway, for the massage and facial , I have to find a good place for it in hometown..and for my body scrubs, and sugaring, I have to DIY.. and know what .. the net has so many recipes that I can try , am feeling happy already .. hehhehehe

Some recipes to share.

HAIR REMOVER - BODY SUGARING Juice of 1/2 a lemon 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup honey cornstarchclean cloth cotton stripswooden stick or spreader

Dust the area to be waxed, with cornstarch. Combine the first three ingredients in a clean glass bowl, and microwave for two minutes. Stop and stir your sugar mixture every 20-30 seconds. Let it cool to a comfortable warmth, and, using a wooden stick, spread a very thin layer onto your clean skin. Immediately cover the mixture with a strip of cotton fabric. Briskly stroke the strip several times in the direction of the hair growth, and then, pull the skin taut, and quickly rip away the cotton strip, against the direction of hair growth. As you proceed, you may need to reheat your sugar mixture in the microwave to keep it warm. Do not boil it or overheat as you could easily burn your skin.

Body Scrub Ingredients: 1/2 cup of salt preferably sea salt 1/2 cup of cold pressed vegetable oil. You can use any light oil though we recommend almond or apricot oil. Optional 15 drops of essential oil. Use your favorite essential oil. Lavender essential oil is one of the most common and classical essential oils but you can use any aroma you want.

Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'

`Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'

That was my mantra to meself until I chance upon my collections of Poems. One of it ...Slow Dance. Tis is one of my favourites.. sort of a reminder for me...

Slow Dance

by

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round

Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day on the fly

When you ask "How are you?" do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away...

Life is not a race. Do take it slower
Hear the music, Before the song is over.
It is sad that I've forgotten about this poem, I used to love it so much, it was a reminder to me to slow down, coz I always want to hurry hurry hurry, I wanted to grow up so fast, want to be 30, flirty and successful. Ermm end up 30 +++, lonely, old and wrinkled now...
Can't imagine how the years have rushed by so fast, too fast for me to even remember what had happened those bygone years ....slow down... Once oh so young , and naive, wishing to be there... to conquer the world with all the spoils in it. Success! How elusive it can be.... in the pursuit of success, all other things seems trivial in nature, whence the real measure of success is actually being content and grateful and enjoy the blessings that we have in abundance around us.
Learn to love more , learn to appreciate more...

Soon out of the corporate world

.. Change is inevitable, life must go on, and the next step is, ywar.. My next step is to take a leap of faith and leave the corporate world, well for the moment anyway, dunno till when though, always have to try what we secretly wish for , ... Gonna go a trekking the jungle out there to my homeland, home sweet home, home where the heart is. Somehow I do feel deadly scared to venture out there without the sense of financial security backing me up ( ... getting my monthly moolah of course. ) ermmm.. hope I won't starve..'coz because I cannot shop as I like, buy whatever I like. Ermm , actually to shop within a budget is deathly difficult.,.. But as John Wayne said, and I quote ;
"Courage is being scared to death--and saddling up anyway"
So my count down to this wondrous new world is erm 21 days to go... yaiihhh! but then again to sacrifice my 9 to 5 daily-routine-stressful-tough-boring job and to gain familiar ground, familiar voices, familiar sounds... ermmm right now feel like calling the cab and head to KLIA ,and take the plane home....
