I’d like to blame it on my horoscope for sculpting me into someone so emotional, too emotional to be exact. But really, there’s no one who can save me from my own self wallowing despair other than myself/ yourself.

If you follow me on my dayre.me/emmtann, you would know that I always post emo quotes there & surprisngly, a lot of girls actually relate to them. I always get requests to share my secret stash of emo quotes so that they too, can tide through tough times by seeking comfort in these quotes.

That has never crossed my mind but these few weeks, I’ve seen an increased in requests through my DMs. There are a lot more accounts but let’s take it slow – Here’s 10 of my secret stash of emo quotes accounts which I follow on my personal account. Like all millennial, please tell me I’m still one *shows puppy eye*, we all have a main account & personal account. hahahaha

@brokensouls.xx

Well, honey. That’s right, it’s been 138 days for me.

I’m not so freaky to count nor do i encourage you to count but since I wanna be more relatable, might as well spend an extra 5 minutes to count how many days has it been for me. hahaha

@sadquotepage

I know that you are going through some form of heartbreak, but trust me my little one, you are never alone. Because someone out there is going through the exact same thing or worst.

@guywithfeelings

We’re all lost in this world, just different kind of lost.

@unsaidphrases

Ask yourself this: If you can’t change a bad habit, what makes it easier for the other party to change for the better?

@trashedsociety

i trusted you

@6.17am

How do people do this? Remain friends with their exes & watch them move on?

@myperfectposts

If it hurts, it means the love was real.

@quotedthought

There are quotes that come in the form of short stories.

@nikita_gill 

She’s a really good writer.

@poets

One day you’ll be the blessing that someone has been praying for.

Something nice to end off the 10 emo quotes accounts introduction.

Something which I’ve learnt would be, maintaining a good relationship with your other half or anyone is the toughest thing in this world. Because we can never fully empathise how the other party feels especially when their actions directly or indirectly affect you. Every single day, I am learning how to cope this and as cliché as it sounds, it all begins with you.

How badly do you want to change for the better? For yourself, not anybody else. 

Despite it being an online store, to provide the best service to you guys, they even offer free samples so your furkids can try some of their products first before you decide to purchase.

I highly recommend this Reliq shampoo because not only does it smell very good & the smell is long lasting. It is made from nano-enhanced volcanic minerals and contains no enzymes, alcohol & parabens.

When you spend more than $60, you’ll get free delivery and your items will be delivered within 2 days. Super efficient.

Always beyond thankful that there’re brands who love daisy as much as I love Daisy. Kohepets actually sent me a big box of doggy goodies for her but She gobbled everything down & destroyed the other toys too fast, I didn’t manage to capture a picture of them.

Do check them out and if it’s your first time purchasing. You’ll receive $8 voucher!

A month ago, I visited Dr Martin Huang at MH Plastic Surgery to try the Cool Sculpt technology. As you can tell, I’m on a pursuit of trying various fat freezing technology to see which one works the best for me so I have been trying to search for a clinic which can help me achieve my desired results

I have heard so much about coolsculpting so I have decided to give it a try with Dr Martin Huang.

What is Cool Sculpting?

Cool Sculpt is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise.

How does it work?

The cool sculpt procedure safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), then die. Over time, your body processes the fats and eliminates all these dead skin cells.

The applicator comes in different sizes for different parts of our body.

The clinic is located in Paragon which makes their clinic accessible for all their patients – especially so for me because I do not have to travel out of town to meet my clients. I even slotted my coolsculpting in between my appointments.

They’ll strap the cool sculpt device on the area where you want to freeze your fats. It leaves a tingling suction but its bearable.

The whole process only took 35 minutes per area. My stomach was split into left section and right section so my whole cool sculpt process took 1.5 hours with massages in between.

 My stomach felt extremely sore after the treatment & it became quite painful after the device was removed from my body. In comparison to the previous treatment I did, this was more painful. It felt like someone punched my stomach & there was a longer down time of up to 2 weeks. But they say – no pain no gain. So I am feeling pretty hopeful about this.

I’ve already seen an improvement in my belly so far. But I’ll wait for further progress to show you guys the difference in my next blogpost so stay tuned!

2 weeks ago, I went down to Centre For Cosmetic to try out their 3 Max Cool Shaping, Fat Freeze procedure, Ultra Cavitation and Multipolar Radio Frequency with LED. I’ve been struggling with stubborn fats on my belly, arm and double chin since secondary school but it has gotten worst in recent years because I love my alcohol too much. Oops!

Preparing to do the Multi Polar Radio Frequency on my double chin.

Multi Polar Radio Frequency delivers a thermal radio frequency thermal energy to tighten the skin and break down stubborn fats.

You can actually see yourself on the screen, it would detect the hottest part of your face. If you can see, my chin is the hottest because it’s in red. 

After 20 minutes – It heats up to 42 degree and it can be pretty uncomfortable. I rate it a 7/10 discomfort level. It’s NOT painful, just a stinging burning sensation. 

Next up we have the Cryo Sculptor on my belly. It’s a non invasive cryo cooling method to reduce fat cells and break down fats with the vacuum and LED Function. 

There was zero pain but slight discomfort because your whole stomach is being sucked in. Here’s my belly being freezed at –4 degrees. hahaha

Other than belly, my arms were my concern too. I did both my Cool Sculpt (for my belly) and Ultra Cavitation (for my arms) concurrently to save time.

Here’s my result after 2 weeks, my belly fats went from 7.2KG to 6.5kg. However, cool shapingt’s results are not immediate and the doctor mentioned that I will only see the real results after 1-2 months and during the meantime, I should spam more water. 

After Cool Sculpt, doctor did Ultra Cavitation on me to further break down the fats and enhance deep fat treatment effect. During the process, this machine made some weird “dolphin mating” sound but rest assured, the doctor said that it’s normal. Hahaha

Here’s my belly after the treatment! I’ll keep you guys posted on the 1-2 months progress. 

I did both Ultra Cavitation and Multi Polar Radio Frequency for my arms. Each session takes around 30 minutes, so remember to set aside sufficient time for your whole session. It’s advisable for me to do it twice a week to keep the breaking down of fats routine consistent. 

Ultra Cavitation

Multi Polar Radio Frequency 

If you’re someone whose facing stubborn fats issue, you can call in to book a consultation with them to see if you’re suitable for this treatment.

PS, Stay tune to the video which I hosted for them that’ll be coming up on MFP.

Here’s the address of the clinic: 

Centre for Cosmetic Rejuvenation & Surgery
1 Scotts Rd, 03-03, Singapore 228208 

Hope this post helps you guys!

Thank you x

DIVING FOR BEGINNERS

Ever since i posted on IG 2 weeks ago that I went to Tioman for my Open Waters Course, I’ve been getting an influx of DMs (from my followers) & messages from my own friends asking me all about it. Thus, I’ve decided to do a blogpost for you guys!

I’ve always wanted to learn diving but fear (90% procrastination lol) really put this bucket list dream on hold, plus I have anxiety issues because I HATE it when i lose control of my body so i’ve always had this fear that diving would make me feel claustrophobic & nervous.

Never ever thought I would enjoy diving so much but this is literally one of the best decisions i’ve ever made in my life, especially for an aqua baby like myself. I LOVEEE the water!!! During my first heartbreak, i swam every single day for 2 months because I find comfort & peace being in the water. HAHAHA

I registered for my PADI Open Water Course just 2 weeks before the actual dive because I was feeling YOLO & adventurous.

Before heading to Tioman, we were all required to clock a theory lesson followed by a pool dive to get comfortable being & BREATHING underwater.  I had my pool dive in Orchid Country Club alone because my friends couldn’t make it that day.

Stole this photo from google but this was exactly how the pool dive looked like, except we got to try out the actual diving suit. We were taught the different breathing techniques, learnt how to control our buoyancy (which i still suck at), mask removal underwater (I HATED THIS cause I choked..) & many more.

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR THE SHORT SUIT! Look @ how horrible my tan is. It’s been a month & my tan is still there, opt for the long suit so you can be protected thoroughly and apply plenty of sunblock on your face!

2D2N TIOMAN DIVE TRIP

We left Singapore on Friday at 6pm and arrived at Mersing Jetty at 10pm.

This is the boat we took from Mersing Jetty to Tioman. Please bring a jacket because it’s freeeezing inside, I would recommend you guys to wear tights or long pants too.

& MOST IMPORTANTLY, please bring motion sickness pills. Me & Elaine almost died because the waves were SO STRONG and the boat ride was horribly bumpy!

We reached Tioman- Sun Beach Resort at 2am & went straight to the room after collecting our keys because we were dead tired from all the traveling.

By default, if you’re going in a group of 4, all of you would be sleeping in the same room (2 pax share a queen size bed). If it’s just 2 of you guys, you would share the room with 2 other strangers. This is to help save cost for everyone.

However, if you feel weird sleeping with strangers, like Kim. He paid additional $120 just to keep the room exclusive to me, Elaine & himself.

I rate the room a 6/10, it’s like a typical chalet type of room WITH aircon and a fairly clean interior with proper facilities. However, I’m VERY particular (*cough spoilt *cough) about my lodging, so it wasn’t up to my standard.

SATURDAY

Up early at 7:30am for our breakfast before our dive! I don’t have any pictures of our meals there because I wasn’t planning on blogging/vlogging. It was a social media detox & self reflection kinda trip.

BUT rest assured, every meal was good!!! Especially our lunch that day – the crispy crab (OMG too good) and chicken curry, NOMZ!

Saturday was the test day itself, so we had 3 dives near the shore (deepest was 5m) and we were tested on all of the techniques that were taught during the pool dive. We weren’t allowed to bring our gopro because well, it’s TEST day. So no photos except for this. hahaha

FYI, me & Elaine were named Burden 1 & Burden 2 because we kept complaining how heavy the air tank is (Oops) and we can’t seem to use our fins correctly?! No matter how hard we paddled, we were NOT moving at all!!!!! FYI, we’re partners. HAHAHAHAH Putting 2 burdens together as partners… joke!! Ended up, the other guys towed us. hehehehe

Happy faces after conquering/passing our 3 dives. That’s Ridhuan and Kbee, they’re the 2 guys who helped to tow me & Elaine. hahahahaha

Kim, Elaine & I brought our own rash guard because OCD Kim was telling us how dirty the common diving suit may be and we MAY get rashes from it so we should bring our own rash guard (it’s just a long sleeve swim suit top) and wear it underneath. I got mine from decathlon for $29. Try to get it 1-2 size smaller so that water don’t seep in and bloat you up when you’re underwater.

Caught the sunset before our theory test at 530pm.

Dinner was BBQ Buffet. They had fried rice, fried noodles and even coleslaw.. abit weird but okay.. can

and live BBQ

For all my alcoholic friends, rest assured, beers are going for only $1.50 each. You can drink drank drunk all you want! I was on a detox so that didn’t entice me.

FYI, the wifi was down so all of us didn’t have wifi. You can get SIM Cards from the minimart for 30RM if you really NEED connection for work or to report safety.

THEIR RAMLY BURGER IS DA BOMB?!?!?!? It was SO DAMN GOOD, BEST I’VE EVER HAD!! RM5.50 for this chicken cheese ramly burger. The burger stall will be open when you arrive on friday at 2am. So if you’re starving at 2am, don’t worry, Food is available 🙂

SUNDAY

Woke up feeling all hyped up for our last 2 dives! I had really bad withdrawal symptoms the night before because I wanted to dive MORE!

Poor girl was so sleepy & had slight motion sickness despite popping the motion sickness pill.

I have no idea what’s up with the 6 logo but we kept doing it during the whole trip. Hahaha no we’re NOT in some gang…

Went to 2 dive spots – one was Renggis Island which was around 9M deep. Honestly, there was nothing much to see during my 2 dives and 30% of the corals were dead. But it’s all about getting used to being underwater with our gear.

Halfway during my first dive, I had problem descending and I just kept ascending up while everyone else were below me. Despite waving like mad & deflating my BCD (the vest) fully, i just can’t descend down!!!!! Stayed on top for around 15 minutes before everyone realised I was missing & came up to find me. Hahahah

Off to the next dive spot ~

That’s Jag and Andrew beside us! Andrew is an underwater photographer enthusiast and if you’re into diving and underwater micro living photography, you guys can check his IG out: @thenamelessbear

Full crew! It was SO fun with these bunch of awesome peeps! Despite me & Elaine being the biggest burdens, they were so loving and helpful throughout the whole dive.

Ended the dive trip with super awesome prata at the Jetty. Thanks Johnathan from Simply Scuba for being the BEST instructor we can ever ask for. Please look for him if you’re thinking of getting your Open Waters Cert with Simple Scuba.

On the way back ~ I recommend you guys to sit on the higher deck if you’re very prone to motion sickness like me. We left at 230pm and reached Singapore at 10pm!

Thanks Kb & Kim for the photos ~ You guys can watch their diving videos on my instagram (@emmtann)! I cant seem to upload here, i don’t know why!

Okay.. now for the commonly asked questions:

1. Which dive school did you go to?

I was recommended by my friend to learn with Simply Scuba and I’ve no regrets! Please look for Johnathan, he’s very good!

2. How much did you pay for it?

I PAID $590 for everything – Our transport, accommodation, meals and dive course were all included in the $590. (I AM NOT SPONSORED HOR) However, if you apply via ADEX (Asia Dive Expo) which happens once a year, you’ll be able to get it at a super discounted rate. Everybody in my dive group (except me, Elaine & Kim) got it for only $450…

3. How old must I be to learn diving?

Diving starts at the age of 9 years old. So if you have kids above 9 years old, you can encourage your whole family to pick up diving as a family hobby!

4. Can I wear contact lense when I dive? 

Yes, you can. My degree is 600 on each eye so contacts are a MUST MUST for me. Just refrain from opening your eyes in the water. If you feel your contact lense shifting, close your eyes and move your eyeballs, naturally your eyes would find the contact lense.

5. How often do such diving trips happen?

Simply Scuba offer classes every weekend in Tioman, so if you’re feeling adventurous, you can sign up today and go next week!

These are the only questions I’ve received, you guys can head over to their FAQ page to find out more!

I hope that all of you guys have enjoyed this post!
Till next time kiddos 🙂

ORBIS – RENEWED | AQUAFORCE

I’ve been really stoked to get this post out & about for you guys.

It’s been around 6 months since I was introduced to ORBIS and I’ve been extremely pleased with their products so far. Being where I am, I’m constantly receiving new products from various brands to review. However, without a doubt, ORBIS will ALWAYS be my one of my top choices because my skin accustoms well to their products. Before we get into this post, some of you may ask, what’s ORBIS Emily?

“ORBIS is well known for its 100% OIL FREE skincare range that originates from Japan” 

AQUA FORCE is ORBIS’s renewed hydration range that utilises enhanced moisture locking technology with Moisture Magnet AQ to actively increase the amount of moisture in our skin.

STEP 1: AQUAFORCE | Mild Wash
$23/120g

The AQUA FORCE Mild Wash lathers up quickly as it contains a dense moisture formula.

 It gently captures and cleanses away dirt. This is a very important factor that I look out for in facial foams. I detest the tight feeling cause it makes me feel like the product sucked out all my moisture.

_ _ _

STEP 2: AQUAFORCE | Lotion
$27/180mg

Fun fact: Japanese usually use the term “lotion” for our toners. 

AQUAFORCE’s lotion replenishes the skin’s moisture with a Moist Pool Formula containing Laminaria A that locks our cells in with its pool of moisture. The best part about this lotion compared to the others which I’ve tried would be the fact that it absorbs into my skin VERY QUICKLY.

_ _ _

STEP 3: AQUAFORCE | Moisture
$30/50g

*MY FAVOURITE PRODUCT*

It forms a protective layer with its Moisture Capture Veil that prevents moisture loss from within and ensures that your skin gets long lasting hydration.

Left: Old Packaging | Right: Renewed Packaging

This is my second bottle of their AQUAFORCE moisture. If you’ve been following me on my Instagram, you would know that I absolutely adore their moisturizer. I brought it to New Zealand with me & had zero signs of dryness throughout my 5 days stay. I swear by this product, sisters!

The renewed formula feels much lighter after application compared to the older version as it absorbs into our skin much faster. Personally, I think it’s 80% faster than their older formula. #TriedAndTested

Dont forget to thumbs up & subscribe to Fatfoal!

I always get questions on my skincare routine & here’s part of it. ORBIS’s moisturizer is a definite must-have in my skincare routine. Everything stated here are my 100% honest opinions on their products. The effect may vary for different skin types. Thus, the most optimal option is to head down to their various outlets to get a skin consultation for a suitable range.
