Hair Fairy

Here's an entire entry dedicated to my hair. My hair hasn't been the same ever since I used the Liese bubble something hair dye on it a couple years back. To be more precise, my entire head of hair died.

I've always had super silky, smooth, and straight hair until I foolishly went to use that brand of dye thinking: Oh how magical these bubbles can change the color of my hair! Worst idea ever. I'm not sure about the dye formula now but back then it really ruined my hair. I've never had to worry about frizz or dry hair in my life but needed to after that fatal incident. Plus my health took a turn for the worse so that didn't help either. So sad just thinking about it.

Anyway after trying tons and tons of products and supplements, I'm happy to say that my hair is very slowly recovering. In fact I recently just dyed it at my favorite neighborhood salon and I'm loving the look of it! I did it because I was bored, and needed to do some treatment at the same time. The first time my hairdresser dyed it, it was a copperish color which looked alright at the salon so I went home with it. Looked in the mirror at home and freaked because I looked like Sun Wukong (a golden monkey). It was so bad I called her immediately to asked for help. So I went back to the salon and she asked for my exact color preference again. And ta-dah! A more acceptable color that flatters my skin tone. Gotta love my patient hairdresser who had to deal with my indecisiveness. And I've been bringing her so much business from my friends and relatives :')



Sent my parents the photo above and my dad said this looks better, thinking I had already cut it :(


How it looks like in the day... You won't see my forehead often in photos because of how huge it is. Hairdresser told me the red would wash off but so far it's still there!


You know those huge fans at open air train stations? I seriously dislike them. I don't think they provide any sort of comfort on a hot day because it's just blowing hot air around. For ladies who wear skirts or dresses that flare, these fans are a nightmare because your dress/skirt would just be flying up allowing those perverts to stare even more. Not to mention your perfect hairdo would be ruined even before you turn up at work/school.

If you have any questions regarding what kind of products to use on fine hair that has been destroyed or feels like it, do drop me an email. You've no idea how much money and time I've wasted on products that do not work at all and I don't think anyone else should go through the same ordeal as I did.

Snippets II

Hi guys! I'm slowly recovering from my stomach bug (it has been weeks of agony omg) so life hasn't been too good. Have been busy with going to school, preparing for school, and getting life organized. What's new? It seems like with every semester that passes by, I feel more relaxed or rather I don't really care but at the same time I'm determined to do well because I've no excuses not to. I'm not even working like some university students are... All I've to do is turn up for classes and actually go through the readings.

Easier said than done even for such a simple task.

Spam of iPhone photos ahead!

Where's Darren?

Geisha having dinner

5 for $2 yay!

Some monthsary I always forget until the day passes



There was a period of time I couldn't stop eating at Sushi Tei, all for the sashimi salad. Think I'm over that phase now given my stomach condition...

For Halloween, I was myself.


When D left for his trip, she did this. How needy is this dog?



Wild Honey's with my cousin and aunt. I think this was the Tunisian breakfast, they both had the English breakfast. Both weren't that great and I wouldn't go back unless necessary.


My new French maid


My friend sent me this and I laughed when I saw it. She shared it on our group chat and first thing everyone asked was where did she even get this from. She said the school sent us all an email and obviously nobody checked it haha! Anyway, all these rules are ridiculous imho.





My very nice sister got me a Lush gift box as a belated birthday gift and I was sooo happy because she just dropped it on my bed once I woke up. The smell of Lush products is always inviting! But I don't mean the store because I can smell it a mile away and my eyes go all watery when I'm inside.

I'm in love with all the Fall candles at BABW right now. Trying to stock up as many as possible before they get discontinued. Also for body washes, do try the aromatherapy line of body gels and get the ones for Sleep and Stress Relief. I don't have a photo of them because they're sitting in my bathroom but the Sleep one is made of lavender of chamomile (wish I could smell this the entire night) and Stress Relief is eucalyptus scented.

When D came back from Thailand...


Pictures speak for themselves






The doctor told me to stick to plain foods. I'm not complaining because I love anything soup! But the gastric discomfort and all is pretty painful to deal with everyday.


Swatching MAC blushes at Sephora for my sister because she was too busy to go. (Why is it I'm so free when it comes to things like that?!) Got the one on my wrist in the end because she wanted a peachy color, I think it's called Melba? It looks really pretty in real life. Great thing was Sephora had a VIP sale and 20% off storewide! Naturally I had to go and stock up.


Cornery is located at the basement of Ion Orchard. I love Tom Yum and Sour Cream and Onion. Bought this much because I was going to a house party, if not I would've died of nose bleeds by now.

Snippets

Hello hello! Sitting at home now nursing a stomach bug. Been having an unwell tummy since the beginning of last week but didn't think much about it. I was having extremely bad stomach aches after every single meal so I thought it was just my sensitive stomach acting up... But nope! After describing the symptoms to my doc, she simply asked if I travelled recently. Turns out, I might've caught something in Taiwan and because I didn't treat it at the beginning stage when I first got back, it has developed into colic. Anna says she's only heard of colic in babies and children but I guess it can happen to young adults too? Sucks to be me.

Have a ton of random photos in my phone so I'm going to upload them here. I'll try to recall which eating place I went for whichever food photo is below.

Pre-Taiwan

Watami set lunch for 2


Anna and I shared this and it was super value for money because we ate till we were stuffed and there was still food leftover. Like the entire plate of sashimi :-/ Loved the clam soup, rice in the pot, and of course the mini sukiyaki.

Hours later, I had ramen at the basement of Paragon. It's such a bad habit to overeat but I keep doing it. The name of this place should be Daikokuya or something, you can't miss it. (OMG I actually got the name right?!)


Inserts random cute photo

Random mooncakes from Takashimaya


Dian Xiao Er is my go-to place whenever I want a good Chinese meal. All their herbal ducks are good, spinach in superior stock is a personal favorite as well as baby kai lan stir fried with lime sauce or something similar.




The ring fit perfectly and I was so happy my parents knew my ring size when I'm not even sure of mine. Mom said it was the smallest they had and if it didn't fit I'd be able to exchange it at the Pandora outlet in Singapore -_-

Taiwan (I MISS TAIWAN)

Packing but more like making a mess

The day we didn't miss our flight

Impatient in the taxi

Happier ON the airplane

In the shuttle bus to the city!


D went nuts in the Nike store and almost bought the whole store. When I hadn't even gotten anything! Nike stuff there is relatively cheaper and they've a wider range of lifestyle wear.


Of course

MAJOR SNACKING AT NIGHT

Shilin outlet was the best!

Abrupt ending here. Bye!
