CANCER: Lung cancer and melanoma – treatment via Immunotheraphy

I’m not scared of death.
Seriously, I’m not.

What scared me shitless however, would be impending death and suffering.

I have first hand experience of the pain and frustrations when the body fails.
I’ve had my fair share of emergencies admissions to hospitals for the past 30 years. I still have a rod in my femur courtesy of a bike collision with a car a decade back.
I had a scare earlier this year when I suffered abdominal pains daily for 2 weeks but was bedridden with no diagnosis. At times, the C word almost came up, for such unidentified illness seem to point at CANCER. I had a MRI done. The hospital bill (Tropicana Medical Centre) was about RM10,000 for a 3D2N stay. But thankfully, I’m cancer-free.
So far.

My CLIQUE Clinic Medi-Facial experience – REVIEW

Facials aren’t new.
It used to be a luxury, likely costly and done only a few times a year for special occasions.

Facials are common now. In fact, facials should be (and encouraged to be) a prerequisite treat for the face.
The age of internet have provided us a wealth of information about skin care, and thus it is likely that your room is already filled with products – peels, masks, scrubs, toners — you name, you got it.

But don’t just go skipping out on seeking professional help. Even though you may not suffer from severe acne or other chronic conditions, your complexion will still benefit from the attention of a trained aesthetician.

So that was what I did recently.
I asked Josh what do I need to maintain a radiant complexion in between regular Q-Switch and PICO Laser sessions.
Is there something that I can do to pamper the skin that everyone happens to see at first sight?

CLIQUE CLINIC: Review of PICO Genesis Laser in Malaysia

Yes, I’m back at Clique again!
Actually, ever since my successful Coolsculpting procedures in 2014 I’ve been a staunch supporter of Clique’s aesthetic treatments.

For 3 years since, I’ve had dermal fillers done (using Neauvia and Belotero) besides regular PRP as well as Q-Switch sessions.
Those are mostly for my face, since my major concern was aging and I’ve had professed desire for clearer, radiant skin.
The Clique team understood my concerns and limitations and had always only recommend necessary and suitable treatments. I’ve since grown so comfortable and assured with Clique services that I’m rather reliant on Dr Lim’s and Dr Bob’s professional insights and advice.

The recent breakthrough for Clique was CUTERA New PICO Genesis™ Treatment with enlighten™, the most advanced laser system for removing stubborn skin discolouration and unwanted tattoos.

PICO is said to be an “advanced ” form of laser compared to the Q-Switched.

Life after LASIK : Top 5 lifestyle changes that I love!

My life changing LASIK operation was done on 9th June 2016 (details and video HERE).

Ever since then I’m no more the half-blinded female that relied on her contacts 18 hours daily.
Oh hurrah! 😀

No more dry eyes, no more panic attacks when my contacts dropped out halfway through the day and no more worries during swimming or contact sport like muay thai.

AIA Vitality: I’m reaching GOLD Status!

I woke up at 5 am one morning, all ready to start my yoga but found myself curled up into a ball with an acute and unexplainable stomach pain.

I was then admitted to the hospital for an ultrasound.
It was an eye-opening affair for me and definitely not the pleasant kind. I am such a diligent person when it comes to fitness, healthy eating and general wellness.

Imagine the shock I had when I could only groan and roll back into bed with the pain intensifying with no signs of subsiding.
It was definitely a terrible feeling!
