[AD] Viva la Diva!

Every girl has definitely experienced a Girls’ Day Out with their BFFs before but this time, i’m gonna show you how it is FLAWLESSLY done. Well not me actually, but women from The New Capital, Capital FM 88.9. Chauffeured in (NINE) glamorous MPVs, 20 lucky “divas” including myself, plus a host of celebrity presenters were taken on the ride of our life stopping only at the right hot spots all over KL! i promise you it was sweet, perfect, marvellous, and simply unforgettable. This is how we lived a day of a “Diva”:

{we are Team Xandria! 8) }

HOT SPOT 1: Hand massage @ BEAUTÉ LIBRARY

{i TOTALLY forgot my jeans so i was the only odd one wearing something else other than the Capital T (pun intended). damn diva la, can? lol}

{was awfully excited about getting my hand paraffin-ed, but there i was anticipating my turn in the most ‘ladylike’ way i could possibly portray – with my camera}

{me + Kim + City Gal all in hot pink}

Me enjoying a luxurious (ginger) hand scrub. 🙂

{hand paraffin that left our hands at the softest, smoothest state they had ever been (since we were babies)}

{anyone watched Amazing Spider Man? this is us showing off our AMAZING Dr. Curt Connors hands}

… and that was not all. Knowing that 1 hour would never be enough for more than 50 women at a beauty salon, each and every one of us were gifted with a Beauté Signature travel set (worth RM116) + Beauté Library cash voucher (worth RM200) combo to enjoy whenever we’re free! Can’t wait for my next facial appointment already. 😀

HOT SPOT 2: Tantalizing brunch @ TWENTY.ONE TABLES + TERRACE

{with the vivacious viva la diva sweetheart, Xandria}

{DJ Joanne Kam from The Capital Breakfast: Talk of Town, giving away RM100 cash voucher to every one of us in the most FUN way you could possibly imagine – Kim and i had to become KLCC towers :lol:}

{my plate of awesomeness}

{catching up with the cun Kim is always nice and mellow, and that’s one important element a girls’ day out MUST have – good quality girl time :p }

HOT SPOT 3: shopping @ PARKSON, Pavilion

{women + mall = i can’t do the math for this one}

{so i forgot my jeans but remembered my sandals (to change into for shopping) #diva-ness MAX}

{Asha Gill’s mannequin. or was it Asha Gill herself? go figure}

{a possible answer for the above equation}

My 500 ringgit voucher = the BEST gift EVER received in shopping history. Seriously mate – NOTHING beats this. We could buy anything we want on the fashion floor, including bags and shoes!! i swear i went mental.

Between retail therapy, we squeezed in some time to sell Capital FM + Parkson Fashion with a Cause tote bags (made out of 18 water bottles each) personally designed by Xandria Ooi, Joanne Kam, and Asha Gill themselves. 100% of the proceeds went to charity, while… 5 bottles of CK perfumes went to our team (for selling the MOST bags)! 😀 GO Team Xandria!!

HOT SPOT 4: learning by cooking @ THE FOOD STUDIO

{one of the loveliest alley designs i’ve seen since… what felt like a thousand years ago. i wanted to steal the gold cow but it’s too heavy}

{Chef Paul getting his hands on the beautiful lamb leg~}

{oven roasted potatoes with their jackets on}

{Punch!}

{just like what you see in cooking channels (except we got to watch it Live) starring international TV host from Lonely Planet series, Asha Gill}

{Asha’s signature Chili Sin Carne – definitely gonna try this spicy recipe out myself pretty soon!}

{hi, i’m Remy from Disney’s Ratatouille}

{because i was really making ratatouille}

{magnificent table setting – ready for dinner. i’m always ready for dinner, duh}

{last shot of the day as the last sunshine fell with romantic affection into velvet dusk}

… and we all left with a piece of memory worth treasuring for a very, very long time … <3
