Sunway Lagoon ; Night Of Fright 3


Feeling creeped out as the sun sets.
OMG, like finally i managed to spare some time to pay a visit to the all hype spooky Night Of Fright which is happening for the 3rd time this year. Never really got the guts to check it out myself, but thanks to Sunway Lagoon for having me last night, i got to face my fears. Well, sort of. haha. In conclusion, I SURVIVED THE NIGHT!

My tickers and a map of the theme park.
Merchandises available inside and outside the theme park.
As the gates opened at 7.30pm, the crowd who were already lining outside for the past half an hour, were rushing to enter the spooky theme park at night. Even i was excited to figure out whats the theme park like at night. And of course, if you forgot the dress up that night, you dont need to worry cause props are sold at the theme park too! And the costume props starts at as low as RM6, pretty reasonable ey?

Meet Mr Chaos and Mrs Havoc
Spot the celebrities in this photo if you can
Basically what made the night special was that we had celebrities attending the event, having Brandon Ho, Kit Mah, Nigel Chin, Kevin Chong, Diyana and Magdeline Wang to contribute to this night of horror to the guest of the theme park. Managed to spot a few, but i have to admit that they look really scary and totally in character. A show was performed at 8pm by Mr. Chaos and his team to show off his new beautiful bride for the night, Mrs Havoc. Take a picture with them when you get the chance to.

This really creeped me out. I wasnt daring enough to walk near him.
And later after the show, me and my date for the night decided to go deeper into the park to get a glimpse of what the theme park has in store for us. But the park really did a good job to have these "body guards" to guard the path way to another dimension of horror. Pass them if you dare, but i advise to you to not run, cause if you do, they will definitely chase you! *screams*

As you enter, you will be greeted with these pumpkins marking that its the season of Halloween.
Trying to look like im the Queen of Halloween. Not too bad huh? 
Photo spots are available everywhere, which does not ensure that you or your photographer would be safe. Since there are monsters lurking around, you might have an extra friend in your photo. I even managed to take a photo at their Death Port where you can decide to hang yourself maybe? haha.

The spooky Sadako Dori lane.
Well, as for the haunted attractions, you can decide to check out the Sadako Dori, and when youre on the way there, you will be able to visit the pumpkin king and maybe take photos with him before he starts carving your face instead. Also met a friendlier Pirate Jack's Locker O' Lanterns, where he sells some snacks and drink for you to quench your thirst after running away from monsters.

Some Japanese ghost.
THIS WAS THE ULTIMATE CRAZY SHIT SCARY IDK ALMOST DIED
Sadako Dori will never fail to shock you as you look down a well which was SOOO creepy! But we managed to take a shot with her. Gotta be brave when youre there, cause if youre not, you'll most probably be chased by these ghost and monsters! Chills were definitely in the air that night. Even as you are lining up for the haunted attractions, you will still have evil lurking around to share the guts out of you.

5 minute theatre.
Pudu Jail 2 ; A must visit
The highlight of the night, TOXIC; a spooky devastated wasteland where chainsaws are in the hands of evil.
Almost the feelings of walking through the maze of the pyramid filled with curses.
There are a total of 6 haunted mazes that you could go for while youre there. But i think i was too chicken to go for all of it, since you hear screaming everywhere! I managed to cover Horrorwood Studios 1 & 2, Zombie Apocalypse, and Mummy's Revenge: Tomb of Terror in 3D. That was literally more than enough of fright for me that night. But if you are in for the real deal, be sure to drop by Pudu 2 or Toxic, where you have a choice to experience being in Pudu Jail with dead prison breakers, or be chased by a chainsaw. Even the sound of the chainsaw that night was loud enough to scare me!

Be sure to stay de-hydrated with some blood!
But its actually Ribena and Blueberry. The Blueberry was YUMS!
Absolutely cute packaging.
It would not be a night to forget as it will haunt you for at least a week! But if im scaring you too much, just to make you feel better, you are NOT suppose to touch the ghost, and they wont touch you. So as long as you got your brave game face on, you dont have to be worried being attacked by zombies, ghosts, aliens or scary monsters. If you lost any blood along the way (kidding), you can also  get your dose of blood to keep yourself re-hydrated, and it comes in a really cool pouch too!

Tia Dalma with her Tarrot cards telling guest their fortune.
I wasnt daring enough to go for this cause i hate spiritual contact.
Get your face painted looking like the joker maybe?
You can even get your fortune told by Tia Dalma, or get your face painted to blend in with the monsters of the night if you want to warn off evil. But do take note that if you want to get your face painted, be sure to be there early, as the line builds up pretty fast!

Dont be surprise to see him in the dark
This is one fast ghost running around the park
And here is another ghost looking all lonely.
Scary ghost, freak shows, the dead and more will be lurking around to find their prey, but i'll tell you a secret that i do to be sure that they dont scare me first. Everytime you see a ghost approaching to you, be sure to stay calm, and tell a friend of yours to take your picture with them. They would be more than happy to take pictures with you, and wonder off to find another prey. haha. It worked for me, so i managed to take a few shots with some freakishly creppy ghouls of the night.

This chinese ghost was almost going to poke me for my blood.
Here's me and Wendy trying to act look scared.
Ignore the face please. I was really scared at the time. haha
 Well, as it got darker at night, the theme park became more quiet. So if you dare to stay even after closing hours, be sure to look at every corner where evil may be hiding. I left at about 10.30pm even though it closes at 11.30pm, because i wasnt daring enough to face more of my fears. Be sure to dress up and join the fun to attend Nights of Frights 3* at RM58 per person while enjoying unlimited rides that are available throughout the night.

*Recommended for guest above 12 years. Visitors are allowed to dressed in their spookiest costumes but are not allowed to wear face masks or theatrical make up to the event.

This will also run throughout the month of October ONLY, so be sure to pay them a visit before its too late! Please also note that its only available on the 2nd, 3rd, 8th - 10th, 15th - 17th, 22nd - 24th, and 29th - 31st October 2015, from 7.30pm till 11.30pm.

Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign ; Estee Lauder

Starting line.
Good afternoon everyone. Sorry for the spam on facebook on how i spent my morning today. Instead of spamming even more, i decided to write it down here to those who may be interested to know more about the campaign. Personally, i am truly honoured to be a part of the campaign, spreading Awareness on Breast Cancer thanks to Estee Lauder. I have family members and friends who are fighting very strong, and its truly inspiring to know that they have what it takes to be survivor.

Mandatory before race photo. (i know, my skirt attracted a lot of attention >.<)
The Estee Lauder Companies believes in one goal, which is to unite as one and come together against the disease. From creating awareness to sharing inspirational stories, joining forces in fundraising activities to honouring the fundamentals of the global Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) campaign.

Filling up the front rows
The theme this year introduces the caption that 'every action counts' and i can relate to that in so many ways, cause no matter how big or small your contribution is, it still means a lot to another person. By doing this, it invites people from all around the world to take action to bring us to a closer world without the disease. Action can be in any form, from wearing a pink ribbon, reminding to schedule yearly appointments, donations, effort on research, having volunteers, every action truly has meaning and when we join together, we're stronger together.

Warm Up session by Fitness First
So, the event started with a warm up session to prevent any injuries during the cycle, and a welcome speech by Paul Shalvin who is the current Managing Director of Estee Lauder Malaysia. He kept it short and sweet by proudly announcing that this happens to be Estee Lauder's first interactive digital experience campaign, where the photos, videos or message posted in regards of the #BCAstrength, will be unveiled worldwide on World Cancer Day, February 4, 2016. Woohoo!

And let the race begin!
The flag off was at 6.45am, where there were over 500 participants who were more than excited to start their journey of cycling 12km in support of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign by Estee Lauder.

Never thought i would be cycling on the highway :p
Upon reaching Dataran Merdeka, breath taking view.
I have to say that i really enjoyed my cycle around the route and as we reached Dataran Merdeka, that marks that we were half way through the route already! Each participant got a bottle of water to de-hydarate themselves, and because the road was not entirely blocked ahead, we were given a break for about 15 minutes to wait for the road to be safe. With 15 minutes, i actually managed to get some photos at the beautiful historic building located in the heart of KL. hehe. Like, why not right?

A participant finishing the race.
Happily reaching the finish line, being the first few to complete the route (YAY), i managed to enjoy the lovely pink set up at the event. Since my bicycle was rented, i had to send it back to the suppliers, and along the way, i got my certificate and goody bag too! Kudos to the management team, cause everything was so well organised.

A token were given to sponsors.
Before the event ended, we had a photo opportunity of the sponsors which made today happen! Then afterwards, they announced the 25 Lucky Draw winners who were lucky enough to get themselves a basket filled with Starbuck goods.

Mid Valley, South Court exhibition area.
You get to bring back pink ribbons too!
If you missed out on the event, fret not cause you'll still have today (17th Oct 2015) and tomorrow (18th Oct 2015) to visit Mid valley to join the cause by taking pictures and #BCAstrength at their exhibition, with a bonus of having your photo printed on the spot!

Some souvenirs for the day :)
Or if you prefer bringing an Exclusive Pink Merchandises by Estee Lauder which are sold throughout the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, whereby the proceeds will go towards charity, then be sure to visit any Estee Lauder counters in Malaysia! Got myself the Estee Lauder Evelyn Lauder and Elizabeth Hurley Dream Pink Collection at RM116 which includes a pink cross body strap bag and features 3 mini Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick. Definitely in love, because these would be perfect for my travelling adventures.

Got myself a medal and a cert for completing the race. hehe
Thanks for reading and be sure to visit Estee Lauder Malaysia's Official Website or their Official Facebook Page to keep yourself updated with their amazing campaigns. I hope you enjoyed reading this humble blogpost of mine, cause i truly enjoyed writing for this amazing cause.

Much love,
Sara xx

[REVIEW] Eyelash Extensions ; Pink Passion The Signature Salon

Notice anything different? 
If you've met me recently, especially to those who see me pretty often, i know you guys are wondering why do i look extra stunning? HAHA. Okay, i kids. Cant a girl get a whole of herself every once in a while? hehe. But yes, im not kidding about the amount of compliments i've been getting for the past week. So here i am, sharing to you my not so dirty little secret.

BEFORE the Eyelash Extensions.
BEFORE the Eyelash Extensions.
BEFORE the Eyelash Extensions.
The truth is, i got my eyelashes extended! So yeah, thats why i was looking all girly bashing my eyelashes everywhere. Why did i get my eyelashes done? Well, its because its October, aka the pink month for breast cancer awareness. The Butterfly Project has partnered with Pink Passion to raise eyes for breast cancer awareness! Pink Passion has agreed to provide a special price for you lovely readers to get your eyelash extension with 10% of it to be donated to Pink Ribbon.

How the outlet looks like.
So Pink Passion's The Signature Salon is located in PJ area, somewhere near Sunway Mas and its very easy to spot the salon as the entire shop looks very pink from the outside. The minute i entered, i was told to remove my shoes and i wore their in house slippers to make me feel more at home + hygiene was well controlled too! As i was waiting for them to get ready for my session, i also saw a few reviews of other bloggers who did their eyelash extensions at Pink Passion too, since 2013. No doubt that they have kept a good reputation with their customers! hehe

Some photos and reviews from previous customers.

And time for the moment of truth, i have to say that i was REALLY nervous to get my eyelashes done for the first time since i wasnt sure what to expect. I was brought to a private room which had dimmed lights and was instructed to lie down on the bed upwards. So before the session started, i was given a choice to choose how long do i want my extensions to be, from 8mm,10mm, or 12mm. I decided to ask for their opinion, and the beautician told me to go for the 10mm for a more natural but viewable result. hehe.

The private room for customers.
The session took about 45 minutes, and i had a good rest by having my eyes kept close while someone else was glueing lashes on my eyes. YAY! I guess the first few minutes my eye lids were not used to having it to be touched, but since she told me to relax, i decided to take a nap. And once it was done, i was directly brought to the front desk to check it out in the mirror.

AFTER the Eyelash Extensions.
AFTER the Eyelash Extensions.
Still not used to my lashes, but i have to say that i do look all dolled up dont you think so? The beautician was nice enough to tell me how to take care of it too before i left. She said that when removing makeup like eyeshadow, its best to use a cotton but instead of a cotton pad to make sure the lashes last longer. How thoughtful. The whole session was painless, and very professional!



And here are the rewards for my readers as a thank you for reading my blog :) Instead of paying the full priced, you guys get to get your eyelashes extended at RM88 + a 1 free days satisfaction guranteed. *STEAL*. All you need to do is flash this blog post, or print the voucher out to redeem yourself a session at RM88 ONLY.

So how do you like my new look? ;)
Hurry cause this voucher will last only till the 15th of December for you to be able to redeem! Get your eyelashes on point without applying any mascara or eyeliner ;) hehe. And of course, youre welcome :* For more infomation do checkout their Official Website, or their Facebook Page ok?

Loves,
Sara xx
