Is it just me but similar to Ally Mac Beal. I consistently have a song stuck in my head. My recent love is “The Climb” from Miley Cyrus.
Yes, Hanissah is saying that I am such an old – school but this is one of a few songs that never get old with time……
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreamin' but
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"you'll never reach it".
Every step I'm taking.
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction.
My faith is shakin'
But I, I gotta keep tryin'.
Gotta keep my head held high.
There's always gonna be another mountain.
I'm always gonna wanna make it move.
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there.
Ain't about what's waitin on the other side.
It's the climb.
The struggles I'm facing.
The chances I'm taking.
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking.
I may not know it but these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah.
Just gotta keep going.
And I, I gotta be strong.
Just keep pushing on,
'cause,
There's always gonna be another mountain.
I'm always gonna wanna make it move.
Always gonna be an uphill battle
But Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there.
Ain't about what's waitin on the other side.
It's the climb.
Yeah
There's always gonna be another mountain.
I'm always gonna wanna make it move.
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there.
Ain't about what's waitin on the other side.
It's the climb.
Yeah-heh-heh-yeay-yeah
Keep on moving,
Keep climbing,
Keep the faith,
Baby.
It’s all about,
It’s all about the climb.
Keep your faith,
Keep your faith.
Whoa-oh
With that I had made some conclusions: What life without challenge. As human we are constantly battling our own war. I am not sure about you but for me, I never have the luck in getting things easily. Life is cruel FULL STOP! We can sit and mourn all we want. But I choose to move another mountain.

Intentions
Since my recent aliasing with MUIS, I had came to learn that every week, MUIS will update their Friday Khutbah.
http://www.muis.gov.sg/cms/downloads/khutbahs.aspx
I had read this week upload with much interests.
Here is a para from the Khutbah that kept me thinking for a week long:
It was reported that when the angel Jibril a.s. came to the Prophet s.a.w. in the cave of Hira’ to send down the revelation from Allah for the first time, the Prophet s.a.w. returned home trembling, and sought comfort in his wife. He told Khadijah r.a. “Cover me with the blanket. Cover me with the blanket.”
Sayyidatina Khadijah then covered the Prophet s.a.w. until the Prophet calmed down. The Prophet s.a.w. then asked his wife: “O Khadijah! What has happened to me?” The Prophet s.a.w. then told her what had happened. And he also said “I fear for myself (i.e. if I had done something wrong)”
Khadijah then continued to calm the Prophet: “Don’t feel that, but be happy! By Allah, He will not disappoint you ever. By Allah, indeed you have always established good relations with others, you only speak the truth, you help relieve others from their sufferings, you do something good that others have not done, you welcome your guests and you always defend the truth.” Hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari.
These words of motivation and advice from Khadijah r.a. to the Prophet s.a.w. continued until she left the world. At all times when the Prophet s.a.w. faced difficulties and challenges, rejection and criticisms, she was there to motivate, inspire and be with him.
As I grew a year older, I came to realize that INTENTIONS play a major role in our life.
Prophet s.a.w. faced difficulties and challenges, rejection and criticisms in promoting Islam but his intentions were pure. Putting ourself in his shoes, the problems that we face is just scratchs............... on a Subaru that can be remove by getting it to a workshop : )) Therefore in any given situation when you think you are pretty SCREWed ,
Think of this few points:
- have you always established good relations with others,
- have you only speak the truth,
- have you help relieve others from their sufferings,
- have you do something good that others have not done,
- have you welcome your guests and
- have you always defend the truth.
& if everything is a YES
Be happy! Allah will not disappoint you ever!!!!

PURPLE
Do you have a prefect face shape and what your color? Interestingly it was covered together in my class last night.
There are mainly 6 different types of face shapes:
- Square
- Round
- Oval
- Heart
- Pear
- Super long shape
Hopefully the diagram will help you match the face with the shape :))
Like everyone I am not born with a prefect face shape OVAL therefore that where contour cosmetics play its virtual role:
- Highlighting (Using white shades)
- Shading (Using brown shades)
- Blushing
For Round face, shading should be applied below the jaw line & blusher should be applied in downward motion.
For square face, shading should be applied below the jaw line & blusher should be applied in triangle motion
For heart face, shading should be applied on the wide forehead, highlighting the chin area & blusher should be applied toward the ear.
For pear face, shading should be applied from the eye toward the jaw line, highlighting the forehead and blusher should be applied in circular up & down motion.
For super long face, shading should be done on the chin & forehead area, highlighting the side of one face with blusher applied in circular motion.
Lastly highlighting the T zone & shading the side of the nose will also help to prefect a wide face.
Is it just me or I came to relised that the youngster are putting on more & more make up therefore is there a different between day & night makeup?
Ideally YES,
Day makeup is usually using light colors blusher and lipstick. Blending one color eye shadow with thin eyeliner drawn closer to the eye lash.
Night makeup is much more challenging, using darker tone colors for blusher and lipstick, blending 2 to 3 colors with thicker and longer eyeliner. Black, Dark brown, Grey & Coffee are common colors used to shaded eyebrow.
There is 3 different type to applying eye shadow
- Gradual Technique: Using just one color, darker to a lighter tone from the inner to the outer eyelid
- Two Technique: Using 2 colors, blending is essential
- Collection Technique: Using 3 or more color to bring out the double eyelid.
Therefore understanding your colors is crucial in blending:
Back to school we are taught that red, yellow & blue are all our primary colors, Black & white are our natural color
Yellow & Red will give us orange
Yellow & Blue will give us green
Red & Blue will give us purple
Behind every color there is a story…….
Red: Confident & smart
Yellow: Cheerfulness
Blue: Seriousness
Green: Youthful
Purple: Intelligence & Happy
Orange: Mature
White: Purity
Black: Secretive & seductiveness
With that I am leaving you with the question of the day. What’s your color?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I passed! I passed!
Not bad for a person who know nuts about manicure & pedicure just a few months ago. Toady I move into my next module MAKEUP. My 1st lesson was pretty dry with all the theories but it will get interesting as we move along. I promise!
Makeup is used to enhance our facial feature which in turn make us feel more confident. Everyone is unique therefore each individual should be approach base on their face shape, eyebrow shape, like, dislike, age, favorite colors and occasion. It is not ideal to apply makeup right after a facial.
Below are other contra- indication preventing makeup application
1) Skin disorder
2) Eczema
3) Bruising
4) Recent hemorrhage
5) Swelling and inflammation
6) Recent scar tissue
7) Cuts & abrasions
8) Recent operation
9) Eye disorder
In my examination, I will also be orally tested in
a) Preparation before makeup
b) Hygiene
c) Blending & matching of colors
& by the end of this module I am certified to provide Bridal make up, Evening make up, Day make up & Special Effect make up. COOL RITE : ))
Since the trainer do not want to scare us on our 1st class,
she started off with the simple Day Make up which included:
1) Make up base
2) Foundation
3) Loose powder
4) Eye color
5) Eye liner
6) Fake Eyelashes
7) Mascara
8) Eye brown
9) Blusher
10) Lip pencil
11) Lip color
12) Lip gloss- Step by step application
In makeup application foundation & eyebrow shaping is very important.
There is a total of 4 different type of eyebrow shaping
1) Arched: For a formal look
2) Rounded: For a sweet & soft look
3) Special Effect: For performance purpose
4) Straight: For super long shaped face
Our features is the best guide on where our eyebrow should start, arched & end.
1) Eyebrow should start in line with the corner of your nose. Measured by placing a pencil by the side of the nose plucking excess hair beyond the line.
2) The arched should be shaped by using the guide by the side of one's eye ball.
3) Eyebrow should end by placing the pencil on the corner of the nose touching the side of the eye.
Finally my Monday is over...........but do keep a look out for my next post on the 6 different types of face shape. Do not worry if you do not have the prefect face shape as contour cosmetic is the painless way to go. Its using the art of highlighting, shading & blushing for a 3 D effects.
I hope that will entice you to read my next post

Missed Me
It’s been awhile since I did any uploads. Yes I am still very much enthusiastic at school doing a lot of practice on my pedicure and manicure and motivated to improve in every single lesson. With the rate that I am going, I can definitely open a nail spa.
Sparing everyone from the serious stuff, I am sharing an interesting workshop by Stewart Hannay, Acergy's Senior Learning Consultant that I attended a few days back ‘Strategic Business Development Process’.
There are 3 stages in every business development process:
- Opening Game
This is where we look at the market, branding and look into the business plans. This stage carries 20% impact to the overall opportunity.
- Middle Game
Middle game is all about management of account, relationship, perception, information and opportunities. Persuading and capturing the market that we are interested in. This stage carries 70% impact to the overall opportunity.
- End Game
Walking the talk by submitting proposal, presentation and negotiation with the customer. This stage carries 10% impact to the overall opportunity.
Before the next game, debriefing and post-mortem is important to ensure continual improvement that allow us to identify behavioral differentiation and repositioning for the next opportunity to delight customer.
There are 4 different types of customer relationship
1) Vendor
2) Preferred Supplier
3) Partner
4) Strategic Ally
Guess what 60% of our customer that come knocking on our door are just vendor, only 10 % are our Strategic Ally that requires 60% of our time therefore we must know what kind of relationship we have before allocating effort and time on them.
Strategic account planning process requires us to look at 3 major concerns:
Customer
Competition
Self
With that in mind we can list out our vision & objective before coming out with any action plans.
Do note that we have to spend 40% of the time with a client asking those things that keep them awake at night, 50% listening & just 10% informating, positioning ourselves as the strategic ally.
It’s key to create a superior proposal in the less time with less effort with an increase probability of winning more business.
4 questions to produce a good proposal are:
1) Why us?
2) Why not them?
3) So what?
4) How so?
A great proposal must be
- 100% compliance
- Responsive
- Evaluator friendly
- Manifests powerful winning strategies
- Features to substantive bottom line benefits for customers
- All major claims with proofs
- Designed for a mixed audience
- Customer focus
- Honest and straight forward
- Position for customer
Things that you have to note in all evaluations:
- Evaluators are always biased
- It’s an initial review
- There is always hidden agenda
- Most case not all evaluators will read all your proposal
With that a good presentation must always focus on the client’s goals before giving a details breakdown of the issues, features and benefits. Last but not the least always reinforces the client’s goals at the end of every presentation. Do hope you learn a thing or two from this post. Have a good weekend EVERYONE!!!!

Half empty or half full
My special thanks for all my friends & family members that supported me during my down period cause by the closure of Wellness Village. There is finally a dim light at the end of the tunnel. It was reported a few days back that some SPAs are offering to take over the unused packages. Of course the terms and conditions are not optimum but I am looking in the view of a half full glass. Instead of getting my 20 sessions, Substle Senses are giving me only 10 sessions that can be utilize from 11am to 5pm weekday. Finally after a long time I am going for my facial on the 12 Jan with Subtle Senses.
In line with the SPA business, here my desktop research on the different Nail treatments offered in the market
The main purpose of the manicure treatment is to improve the look and feel of your hands and fingernails. Another purpose is to clean, strengthen, shape, make attractive and sometimes even dress your nails. The other benefits associated with manicure include:
It improves the health and texture of your hands and fingernails.
It helps in preventing hang - nail formation.
It may help in treating sore or broken skin if present around the nails.
It helps in preventing nail damages like fragile tips, cuts or splits.
Massage that often accompanies manicure helps in improving the health of the skin by increasing blood circulation. By improving the health of the skin, it discourages the wrinkling of the skin on hands
There are many different types of manicures available. The steps carried out during any of the manicure types are same. That what distinguishes a type from another is the different shaping of the nails and application of different oils and creams.
Paraffin Manicure:
Hands can be dipped in melted paraffin wax for softening and moisturizing. Paraffin wax is used because it can be heated to temperatures of over 35°C, without burning or injuring the hand. The intense heat allows for deeper absorption of emollients and essential oils. The wax is usually infused with various botanical ingredients such as Aloe vera, chamomile, tea tree oil, and azulene. Fruit waxes such as peach, apple and strawberry are often used in salons.
Occasionally, lotion is rubbed on the hand before submersion into the paraffin bath. The hand is usually dipped more than once to allow a thicker wax coat to form, making the coating stays warm for longer and less likely to break or tear prematurely. After the hands have been dipped in the wax, they are wrapped in either plastic or aluminum foil, or a special type of plastic bag or glove then covered with towel or special mitten to retain warmth. The hands are left for a few minutes before the paraffin is cooled and dried.
Hot Oil manicure
A hot oil manicure is a specific type of manicure that cleans the cuticles and softens them with oil. It works well for dry skin and nails that are brittle as it improves both by leaving them soft and pliable. Types of oils that can be used are mineral oil, olive oil or commercial preparation in an electric heater.
French Manicure:
This is the most popular type of manicure. It involves the application of clear or nail-colored nail polish on the body of the nail and pure white nail polish at the tips of nails. The nails are shaped round, oval or square as per desire.
Hot Stone Manicure:
In this type of manicure, hand massage is given by using hot stone therapy. Originated from an ancient ritual from the South Pacific, warm stones massage away any tension or pain in your hands and arms. Hand and arm exfoliation, and extra cuticle work improve the appearance of your hands.
Luxury Manicure:
This type of manicure includes the use of paraffin wax and heated mittens for softening and warming the hands and hydrating the nails.
Spa Manicure:
This type of manicure includes few additional steps than the normal manicure like a hydrating mask or an aromatic salt rub.
A good new year celebration is not having class today till the 4th Jan. So till than Enjoy your count down!!!!

The main purpose of the manicure treatment is to improve the look and feel of your hands and fingernails. Another purpose is to clean, strengthen, shape, make attractive and sometimes even dress your nails. The other benefits associated with manicure include:
It improves the health and texture of your hands and fingernails.
It helps in preventing hang - nail formation.
It may help in treating sore or broken skin if present around the nails.
It helps in preventing nail damages like fragile tips, cuts or splits.
Massage that often accompanies manicure helps in improving the health of the skin by increasing blood circulation. By improving the health of the skin, it discourages the wrinkling of the skin on hands
There are many different types of manicures available. The steps carried out during any of the manicure types are same. That what distinguishes a type from another is the different shaping of the nails and application of different oils and creams.
Paraffin Manicure:
Hands can be dipped in melted paraffin wax for softening and moisturizing. Paraffin wax is used because it can be heated to temperatures of over 35°C, without burning or injuring the hand. The intense heat allows for deeper absorption of emollients and essential oils. The wax is usually infused with various botanical ingredients such as Aloe vera, chamomile, tea tree oil, and azulene. Fruit waxes such as peach, apple and strawberry are often used in salons.
Occasionally, lotion is rubbed on the hand before submersion into the paraffin bath. The hand is usually dipped more than once to allow a thicker wax coat to form, making the coating stays warm for longer and less likely to break or tear prematurely. After the hands have been dipped in the wax, they are wrapped in either plastic or aluminum foil, or a special type of plastic bag or glove then covered with towel or special mitten to retain warmth. The hands are left for a few minutes before the paraffin is cooled and dried.
Hot Oil manicure
A hot oil manicure is a specific type of manicure that cleans the cuticles and softens them with oil. It works well for dry skin and nails that are brittle as it improves both by leaving them soft and pliable. Types of oils that can be used are mineral oil, olive oil or commercial preparation in an electric heater.
French Manicure:
This is the most popular type of manicure. It involves the application of clear or nail-colored nail polish on the body of the nail and pure white nail polish at the tips of nails. The nails are shaped round, oval or square as per desire.
Hot Stone Manicure:
In this type of manicure, hand massage is given by using hot stone therapy. Originated from an ancient ritual from the South Pacific, warm stones massage away any tension or pain in your hands and arms. Hand and arm exfoliation, and extra cuticle work improve the appearance of your hands.
Luxury Manicure:
This type of manicure includes the use of paraffin wax and heated mittens for softening and warming the hands and hydrating the nails.
Spa Manicure:
This type of manicure includes few additional steps than the normal manicure like a hydrating mask or an aromatic salt rub.
