Taming Jenna Meets An Itchy Hand

So I was telling you about a book finished reading on the way up to Cameron Highlands for my annual getaway, right? *click here to read said post* Well, not like it would matter to you or anything (IT SHOULD MATTER!!! EVERYTHING I SAY TO YOU SHOULD MATTER! RAWR!), I just felt like letting you know that I couldn't quite put it down after I got started on it. Seriously!

Taming Jenna (1994) by Charlene Raddon
– think it's the best RM5 book I've read by far. =)


----------------

* NOTE: The following synopsis was written with the sole purpose of confusing those who dare venture beyond this note. =p

A feisty female, barely out of her teens, is on the hunt for a murderer. (How daring and dangerous (hello, can anybody say KEYWORDS???) of her, eh?) Or so she'd like you to think. Cos actually, she's on the hunt for her estranged father – the same one who abandoned his family before his daughter was even born... or didn't he?

And although she's sworn off love and marriage, along the way, she finds herself unable to resist the one man she forced into flashing his bum at her. Instead of single-mindedly focusing on her quest like she should, she finds herself enjoying the distraction that is him. Even after finding herself turned over and spanked one too many times, she continues to fall harder for him and his carelessly rough and tough ways.

Two colourful pasts and personalities come together and love blossoms (or does it not?) when two different people with different reasons to find the man with a scar on his arse clash. Tene nene. Tene nene.

Arrgh, so much drama for just RM5!
I love it, I love it, I love it!

Okay, enough gushing. It's picture time.

Me syok-sendiri-ing on the drive up to Cameron Highlands.

My dad THINKS he's being funny by ruining the pic. -_-

Oh, and I finally see why Tim Tams called it Female Porn
even from the first time he flipped through it.

Cos, my goodness gracious, this one sure is!

Weird Things Happen 4 1/2 Feet Away

The guy sitting right next to me just said,

"Mmm, now my dustbin smells so nice."

*snort snort*

I had to bite my tongue to keep myself from
releasing one of my classic sarcastic retorts. =p

Screwed-Up Scratching

NOTE: The post before this one *click* somehow got screwed-up yesterday and I only just realised this morning that all you poor things got were the first two sentences – all of which came up to a total of 5 words. -_- So fail. I blame the crummy internet connection at home. Meh. So... here we go again.

I'm itching to shop.

Shit.

And shopping always, always
results in spending money
I shouldn't be spending.

Blergh.

BAD, BAD, BAD. This is not cool, man. Not cool at all. Itchy people like me should be chained to bedposts and made to do sit-ups for every evil thought that passes the mind – and by evil thoughts I mean thoughts of shopping, of course.

Sigh. How lah?

There's dissonance within. I feel it. And dissonance isn't good for any individual's emotional well-being, right? No, it's not. In fact, it's not healthy at all! So that kinda means that I should give in to the itch and not gripe or worry about depleting my bank account, shouldn't I? Not cos I want to shop, but cos I don't quite have a choice! It's the health of my bank account versus my very own emotional well-being lah, cummon! I can't possibly compromise on emotional health for the sake of a few more Malaysian Ringgit in my bank account.

Sigh.

So it looks like I'm going to have to give in and listen to the voice within. I can't belive I'm being forced into perfect obedience. Manipulated into carrying out the order and executing it to the best of my abilities. Sigh. Fine. I'll do it. I'll shop. Selflessly. With no regard for the bank account I hold so dear. But I'll do it only cos it's for the betterment of the parties involved – my heart and my mind.

*cough cough*

*grin*

Ahh, the calling of that sweet,
sweet voice within... I hear you.

May the scratching begin. =p

To Scratch, Or Not To Scratch?

I'm itching to shop.

Shit.

Tiny Marks Of Little Devils

Remember how I said I got bitten by bed bugs while I was away on holiday at nice-and-cool-Salem-high-country Cameron Highlands? Well, I'm now back on the island where it's hot and humid (*groan* my goodness, no wonder I feel lazy) but my body still bears the marks of my holiday above sea level.

Took this picture the Sunday I woke up to find myself with the bites.

You see three here but there are six of 'em altogether. -_-

Now that the party's over and I'm back on solid ground,
I need to know: How do I get rid of these marks!?! ='(

The Han Feng Pro Mini Hair Straightener – The Mini Wand With Lots of Magic

Few things impress me and I swear by even fewer things. But this little baby worked its magic on me and I tell ya, right now, I'm a believer!

Guys (and girls, especially) meet the magical
Han Feng Pro Mini Hair Straightener.

I'm so sold on it that I'm gonna
dedicate an entire post to it.
(No, I'm not getting paid for this.)

I bought this MP hair product set *points below* when I
was at the hairdresser's place getting my hair done.

Paid RM168 for it.

And ladies and gentlemen, that's RM168 for a 300ml bottle of MP shampoo, 300ml bottle of MP conditioner, a large tube of MP intensive treatment cream, a bottle of MP serum, and one very-FREE *ahem*, very-super-power Han Feng Pro Mini Hair Straightener.

The full set of products that only cost me RM168.

ALL THAT FOR RM168 WEI!!!
Super tat! Tai! Worth it! Berbaloi! ARRGHHH!!!

*pants*

You know, I think I'm getting faint from
shortness of breath due to over-excitement.

Haha.

Okay okay, lemmie show you
the source of all that hair magic.

Tada!!!

The Han Feng Pro Mini Hair Straightener in its case.

The Han Feng Pro Mini Hair Straightener.

And if you think it's just like any ordinary hair straightener, you're wrong. It's not called a MINI hair straightener for nothing. This thing is tiny!!!

Mind you, I don't have big hands.

Took that picture to give you an estimate of the size of this baby. It's small, eh? Told ya. But size is not a factor. It's not the size of the wand that matters. It's the magic in it. And this little thing is burstin' with magic. Lemmie show you the most I've done and the furthest I've tried going with my hair when experimenting with this straightener.

IS THIS FREE MINI STRAIGHTER
MAGICAL OR WHAT, I ASK YOU!?

Tried curling my hair with the mini straighter before leaving for the drive back to Penang this Friday past. That way, at least if it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, I wouldn't have to embarrass myself by meeting anybody other the peeps I drive past on the highway. Haha.

But seriously. Not too bad
for a first try lah, kan? Haha.

I think it turned out pretty okay wad.

But let's all pretend *ahem* that it's not my superb *ahem ahem* straightener-handling skills *ahem ahem ahem* that got my hair looking the way it did. All praise goes to the wand and its magic. A round of applause and a pat on the handle for the Han Feng Pro Mini Hair Straightener!

Cameron Highlands – Bandar Maju Makmur

Why? Cos there's Guardian up here now! Woo hoo! And Starbucks! And I, the desperado for free WiFi, am sitting at the latter with a nice hot cup of Mint Tazo cos the lot of us (parents included) got halau-ed from the Chinese restaurant we were at earlier for dinner. -_- Bleh.

Trust the Chinese to hand over the bill and say,
"Thankyougoodnightpleasecomeagaintomorrow."

*grunt*

All hail Starbucks.


Pale as sheet. Yuck. I look like a ghost here. -_-

p/s: Did you guys know that if you bring your own Starbucks tumbler or mug, you get to enjoy RM1 off your beverage?! How come I dunno wan!? Aargh, kiasssuuuuu! I need to get me one of those tumblers asap! (Or steal a Starbucks mug. *cough cough* Daring and dangerous, remember? *grin*)

Sayin' Hi

...all the way from Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.

*grin*

Yep, you got it. Pam Song is approximately 1640m above sea level right now and she's saying "Hi" to YOU. Honoured or not??? Haha. Kiddin'. I love believing that I'm your world and it gives me a kick when I pretend that you can't live without my posts. *grin*

So what have I been doing?

Well, I finished a book I bought for RM5 at Cineleisure earlier this month (one that Tim Tams swears should be classified as Female Porn -_-) on my way up, had dinner, visited the Brinchang night market, prepared a couple of posts (I've scheduled them so you can be sure you've got stuff to read even if I find myself without internet connection tomorrow), slept, got bitten by bed bugs (damn those tiny devils), woke up, had breakfast at Tanah Rata, went for tea at the Boh Tea Plantation, climbed a tea hill (and almost died on the way up), paid Whisper Falls a visit, went for an hour-long foot massage that came with a 10-minute shoulder massage on the house, then had Devonshire tea (yes, tea again – Round 2) at Ye Ole Smoke House, caught up on two episodes of Private Practice: Season 2 (sorry, Dillon, I tak boleh tahan) and now, I'm having dinner back at Tanah Rata at this Chinese restaurant that has free WiFi.

Heh. What a break.

And I gotta tell ya – so far,
I'm lovin' it alright. Haha.


Me, enjoying the fresh mountain air with the windows down,
in the car, on the way down from the Boh Tea Plantation.


This, my friends, is the life. =)

More details and pictures when
I'm back on the island. Mwah mwah!
