BEWARE!

Tons of pictures!
That’s Stephanie, one of the contestants & me.

Reporting my weight of the day. =X

I am doing one of the treatment. It’s to relax my muscles which I forgotten the name. =X

That is Aggie. She is the nutritionist. She plans what I eat so I cannot offend her.

Me and the pretty babe, Shireen (Marketing person in Cenosis). I am like in a labour right? -_-”

Jack Neo was here to visit Mei Xin.

Time for treatment. I will be back with more pictures.
P/S: I have a picture of Mei Xin. So stay tuned.

Amara Sanctuary

By chance, I was invited to Amara Sanctuary by Princessa.

Lunch was held over at Amara Sanctuary’s Shutter Restaurant. I was too hungry till I totally forgotten to take pictures of my food. =/ I had baked cod. FANTASTIC was the word used on the food. Every single ingredients were fresh, included the bread served.
The tour started immediately after lunch.

The beautiful sky pool, one of the pool in the hotel. It’s the sea view. So damn nice right? I wish I can dip in the water in my bikini. =X

The standard room facing the sea. I was told it cost S$250++ on a non peak weekend!
The balcony. It’s a good room, cos you can actually have easy access to the sky pool.
I AM JUST SO LUCKY! I witnessed a wedding there!
The bride is so damn CHIO lor. I so envy her. @_@
Fully furnished gym. Suddenly, I feel like going to gym. =X
Next, we went to the Court Yard Suite. I simply LOVE it!
A small little cozy balcony in front of the suite.
The super duper big bed. And, the bed sheet is so soft. I bet it’s 400 thread and above!
The bathroom. What I like most is the mini garden.
DeadPris & the mini jacuzzi pool. We all felt so much like jumping into the pool as it was a rather hot day.

Besides the Jacuzzi Pool, you can actually lie down, rest, nap or even read your favourite book.

Another pool. With a bar. Hee…. & besides it, it is the kid pool. I like the slide. =D

Last but not least, the ballroom. It can take up to 50 tables, if I remember clearly.

Now, I am planning for a staycation at Amara Sanctuary! Anyone keen? I wonder if I get any discount? =X

瞬間 – 美心

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince is a 2009 fantasy-adventure film based on the novel of the same name by J. K. Rowling. It is the sixth film in the Harry Potter film series. It is directed by David Yates, the director of the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. David Heyman and David Barron produced the film,[5] and Steve Kloves, screenwriter of the first four films, returned as screenwriter for this film.[6] Filming began on 24 September 2007, and the film was released in cinemas worldwide on 15 July 2009. Unlike the previous film, the sixth film was not simultaneously released in regular cinemas and IMAX 3-D in all countries, due to a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen several week commitment.[7] The film will instead be released in IMAX 3D on 29 July, two weeks after its original release, in these countries.[8] The film opened to critical acclaim and commercial success, and breaking the records for biggest midnight opening gross of all time as well as biggest single-day worldwide gross of all time. The film is dedicated to the memory of actor Rob Knox, who portrays Marcus Belby in the film and was killed in May, 2008.

Scarred by his experience at the Ministry of Magic with Voldemort, Harry is reluctant to return to Hogwarts. Dumbledore encourages him to continue, after taking him to see a former professor, Horace Slughorn, hoping that Slughorn would return to Hogwarts and take Harry under his wing.

Meanwhile, Death Eaters begin to wreck havoc both towards Muggles, destroying the Millennium Bridge, and Wizards, kidnapping the wandmaker Mr. Ollivander and destroying his Diagon Alley shop. Bellatrix Lestrange entreats Severus Snape to enter an Unbreakable Vow with Draco Malfoy’s mother, Narcissa, assuring that he will complete the task assigned to Draco should Draco fail and that he will protect him and make sure he doesn’t get hurt. Harry, Ron and Hermione, while in Diagon Alley, spot Draco entering Borgin and Burkes and taking part in a ritual with other Death Eaters, and become suspicious of his actions.

At Hogwarts, the school is under tight security to prevent the Death Eaters from entering the school. With Slughorn back to teach Potions, Snape is given Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry and Ron are encouraged by Professor McGonagall to take up Potions now that Slughorn, with lower standards, is teaching the class; however, as neither was expecting to take the course, they are given textbooks. Harry’s book is annotated with more exact instructions to complete potions, giving him an edge over the other students, and finds that it once belonged to the “Half-Blood Prince”, a term Hermione cannot figure out. Meanwhile, Ron becomes the successful Gryffindor’s Quidditch goalie, attracting the love of Lavender Brown, much to Hermione’s chagrin. Harry is also upset over Ginny’s attraction to Dean Thomas. During the Christmas Break while Harry and Ron are at the Burrow, the Death Eaters come intending to kidnap Harry, but are forced to retreat after they are outnumbered by Order of the Phoenix members. Before they leave they set fire to the Burrow, and the Weasleys are gathered outside the house, leaving Harry regretting the evil that he has brought down upon people he cares about.

Dumbledore reveals to Harry through the Pensieve memories of Tom Riddle—Voldemort’s original name—including a false memory from Slughorn, when Riddle asked him about a certain resistricted Dark Art. The memory fails to reveal this art, and Dumbledore believes that the key to defeating Voldemort is to learn what Dark Art Riddle asked about, and instructs Harry to further confide himself to Slughorn. Using a Luck potion he won earlier in the school year, Harry is able to bring Slughorn to be intoxicated with Hagrid and convinces the professor in his stupor to give him the true memory. This memory reveals that Riddle inquired about the creation of Horcruxes, devices that store a portion of the creator’s soul to allow them to live indefinitely. Dumbledore reveals that Riddle’s diary and his mother’s ring were two of seven Horcruxes that Riddle had created, and that they must track these down and destroy them to make Voldemort mortal.

Meanwhile, Harry continues to be suspicious of Draco’s actions, following him around the school but no success in determining what he seeks. Harry believes Draco to be behind two indirect attempts on Dumbledore’s life, one through a cursed necklace that Katie Bell, under an Imperius Curse, was bringing to Dumbledore as a gift, and another through a bottle of poisoned wine that Slughorn, similarly cursed, planned to give to the professor. The latter is discovered accidently when Ron ingests the poison; though he recovers with medical treatment, he unconsciously mumbles Hermione’s name in front of Lavender, sending her away crying. After this incident, Harry corners Draco in the toilets and after a short fight casts the Sectumsempra curse from the Half-Blood Prince’s book, severely harming Draco. Snape arrives knowing that he let Draco get hurt and that he broke one of the promises and heals him. Ginny convinces Harry to hide the book in the Room of Requirement to prevent him from using it again; there, they discover, unknown to them, a Vanishing Cabinet, which Draco has been attempting to repair, but think nothing of it further. Ginny also reveals her love for Harry, and they kiss after she hides the book.

Dumbledore implores Harry to help him recover another Horcrux, the location of which he recently learned. The two apparate to a seaside cliff, and enter a cave where the Horcrux is located. On a small crystalline island, Dumbledore forces Harry to make him drink a mind-altering liquid in order to reveal the Horcrux. While Dumbledore recovers from the liquid, Harry recovers the Horcrux, a small pendant. Harry tries to help Dumbeldore recover, but they are attacked by numerous inferi. Dumbledore recovers in time to set them aflame, and the two return to the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore, still weakened by the trial, instructs Harry to go to get Snape. However, before Harry can go, footsteps are heard, and Dumbledore tells Harry to hide on the lower floor. The footsteps belong to Draco, who prepares to kill Dumbledore, but cannot bring himself to do so. Meanwhile, with the Vanishing Cabinet fixed, Bellatrix and other Death Eaters are able to invade Hogwarts through a similar cabinet at Borgin and Burkes, and join Draco in the tower. Snape silently arrives on the lower floor, indicating to Harry to stay quiet, and then goes upstairs, joining the other Death Eaters. Snape then casts the killing spell Avada Kedavra on Dumbledore, throwing him over the side of the Tower and killing him. Snape, Draco, and the other Death Eaters depart the school, Bellatrix casting the Death Eaters’ sign over the school, destroying the Great Hall and setting fire to Hagrid’s hut in glee. Harry tries to stop them with the Sectumsempra spell, but Snape deflects it and stuns him. Snape says he made up the Sectumsempra spell. As he departs, he explains that he was the Half-Blood Prince.

The school mourns for Dumbledore’s death. Harry reveals to Ron and Hermione that the Horcrux they got was a fake, containing a message from an “R.A.B.” that stated he had already taken it, but also seeking to end Voldemort’s life. Harry tells his friends that he does not plan to return next term, instead seeking out R.A.B. and the other Horcruxes so that he may put an end to Voldemort; Ron and Hermione remind Harry that they are his friends and will help alongside him in his goal.

Recommendation: NIL. It’s my 1st time getting so close to Harry Potter. Therefore, I am purchasing the books to read. In fact, I am CONFUSED. -_-”

……………………………………….

……………………………..

I am currently fully wrapped from my boobs to both legs and I’m feeling seriously very the HOT!!!! This is one of the treatment Cenosis. I did it last night. The feeling was GREAT! It’s like attending an aerobics class without the risk of spraining my stupid ankle and ruining my makeup. Hee….. How good!!!!

I went through a couple of treatments. Briefly, one is to massage all my muscles to make them more relax and ready to “exercise”. You will not believe it, I really feel the “aching” of the muscles.

I went through Cavitation as well. They called it “Kaya Butter Bread” – gel applied on the plate and placed on my tummy. What impressed me is that I could actually listen to some “Di Di” sounds (as if I am playing Super Mario) and I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN HEAR IT. @_@ I seriously had yet figure out how come? -_-”

For now, I got to go. Nutritionist is rushing me to go for tea break – Freshly made fruit juice. Hee…….

Stay tuned for more pictures and picture of me and Meixin. Don’t be jealous. =P

Am I really that FAT?

NO! - If I don't look at the mirror. -_-"

YES! – Everyone commented. *sigh*
"Are you on a secret pregnancy?"
"OMG! Why you become so FAT?"
"You weren't like this 2 years back."
etc…….

 

And I still remembered all these till the day I die
…………………………
…………….
…….
Incident 1:
Ex BF, K brought me home for a meet-the-parents session. K's mum asked him "Why your gf so big-sized one? She looks like xxx (a FAT cousin of his)." Well, this question was raised IN FRONT OF ME! Shortly after, we broke off. OBVIOUSLY! *roll eyes* Who can take such comments? Especially, it came from an elderly. Few months back, I met him at Boat Quay and GUESS WHAT? I IMMEDIATELY flipped my hair to cover my face and had my face "glue" to the ground. At that very moment, I felt so much like the ghost in the movie, The Ring.

Incident 2:

Last September, I met this guy, E, who was a distant friend of mine online. He was back from Brisbane for a holiday and he asked me out for lunch. Out of courtesy, I met him for a quick lunch at Bugis Junction. Basically, the lunch lasted for less than 1.5 hours cos I wasn't really keen in him after seeing him in real person. BUT GUESS WHAT this meanie E did to me? He literally told every of our common friends, "You know how FAT this Winnie is?" That was hurting, especially I heard it from common friends. I was so upset that I took half day off work, went for some drinks and eventually, got myself drunk and sobbing badly in a pub. Since then, we ceased to contact. He is now off my Facebook, Friendster (if it still exist) and MSN. I even changed my mobile number, partly because of him!

The worst had yet to come!
God is so 'kind' to me! I met another of my ex BF, W at Jurong Point yesterday. It was a head-on meeting. There was NO way for me to avoid him unless I was suffering from amnesia (At the very point of time, I WISHED I was suffering from amnesia). I had to really forced myself to smile at him and well, as expected, he gave me the 'how-come-you-look-so-FAT' look!?!??!” And NO, I am NOT exaggerating at all!

*cry*

 

Who loves to be called FAT?

Who loves to be called Missy Piggy?

NOT ME!

 
Somehow, I chanced upon the Cenosis Glass House Challenge 2009. DIE DIE, BY HOOK OR CROOK, I want to take part!

 

I had submitted my application and I WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS THIS YEAR! Having known that I am a Nuffnang Blogger, they decided to use Nuffnang's media to bring out the viral impact of blogging.

For now, I am not asking for much.

I just want to look like this again. (as above picture).

I just want the "chio chio" me back.
