Diamond facial at Beauty Century, Midvalley

I went for a facial today at Beauty Century. I have read good reviews about it and since it is my first time, I get a discount. I love discounts! Normal price for this Diamond Peel facial was RM98. But if you are a first timer, they charged RM38. RM38 covers consultation (45 mim), back massage (15min), diamond peel (10min), facial (15min), steam (15 min), extraction (30min), aloe vera mask ( 15 min) treatment, charcoal mask (15min), face massage (10min), toner, moisturiser, sun block and lastly, head massage (5min).
All the duration were just my estimation. Basically, they will ask you if you have three hours to do all those things as a first timer. Quite worth it!

Of course, the consultation part was where they try to recommend me to go for a 'better' treatment. She recommended I do the DFN facial which cost rm500 per treatment! I could not hide my shocked expression. I came prepared for a rm38 facial and to hear rm500 for a facial was way too much. DFN helps to make the pores smaller, reduce scars and make pimples smaller. Everything I wanted and needed, but im so not ready to fork out that amount. It does not even gurantee i will be satisfied after one treatment.

Aside from that, i had an awesome back massage there and everyone was really nice. The beautician was also very detailed in explaining what she was doing to my face and warn me if it was going to be painful. The diamond peel is a machinine that sucks up all the dead skin cells. She told me to feel my skin and it was so smooth, something like the after effect of sanding wood.

View bar at G Tower

Birthday month = Full of freebies
This was not really a birthday celebration, but a celebration of something.

Beer and mojito. Mojito super sweet bleh.
The KL view from the bar was so-so only. The klcc twin building was mostly blocked by the new condo, Binjai.

It was also the first time seeing the jln tun razak and jalan ampang intersection.

Other than that nothing new. Surrounded by concrete.
Had a great time!

Because I am clumsy..

I do not play contact sports. I will always bruise easily so I stay away from volleyball, basketball, football etc. I am clumsy that even when playing tennis and swimming I can injure myself. Pictures of my injuries from my recent hiking trip to Bukit Tabur below! I slipped and fell on a rock and so the big square shaped looking purple bruise on my bum Also scraped my elbow. And i banged my head on a huge rock. My knee was also bruised from the occasional knocks on the rocks while climbing. No balance whatsoever lol

Color!

Another ridiculously gorgeous color display from a small garden on Bergþóragata...

Also, on my net ramblings I ran across something called SEEDS which is "an Icelandic non-governmental, non-profit volunteer organisation designed to promote intercultural understanding, environmental protection and awareness through work on environmental, social and cultural projects within Iceland." They offer all sorts of short and longer term work camps and volunteer positions, and seem to have gotten quite a few awards in their brief history. There's usually no upper age limit, so if you're 18 or over (and in some cases 16) you can apply to come spend some time here wokring on a good cause. Very cool!

It's been a while since I've posted anything about music and locals artists and such here on the blog. It's so much easier to just post that kind of stuff on the Facebook Page and on Twitter (@IcelandEyes) so be sure to go there too. Also, if you'd like to share your photos here or on the Facebook page, just let me know : )

Kaw Kaw burger at Puchong Utama

Location address:
Kaw Kaw Burger Bakar, Lokas Makana Medan Selera, Jalan PU 13/1, Taman Puchong Utama, 47100 Puchong, Selangor (near a surau)

I very highly recommend this genormous burger bakar. It is located at a Medan Selera at Puchong Utama and it was totally fantastic.
Say goodbye to My Burger Lab . It is better than Abang Burn's Burger Bakar. Hands down, Kaw Kaw burger was amazing!

Its thick juicy barbequed beef burger was gastronomic. One patty was enough to fill my stomach. They do serve chicken patties too... It is located at a food court, so at least I could sit and order drinks while I wait for the burger to be served. The wait was not too long.

Price:
Single beef patty burger = approx RM10
Two beef patties + 1 chicken patty + cheese = RM18.50
Two beef patties burger (no cheese) = RM13.00
Add rm1.00 if you want cheese.
