Quick Japan Loot (July 2011) Review
It’s been almost 6 months since I came back from Hokkaido/Tokyo in July 2011, so this is really overdue PLUS I’ve reviewed quite a fair bit of the stuff I’ve used, so here goes: FANCL HTC COLLAGEN TABLETS Don’t really need to explain why I bought it – the bottled ones are TOO HEAVY to carry back! So this became the best buy from JP whenever I’m there – at 1500+JPY per packet it’s much cheaper than SG’s... Read More
Dreaming of Rainbow Hair
A girl can only dream… (all images below found from tumblr; tagged manic panic) Well I decided to order more tubs of Manic Panic Amplified! It’s the brand of dye I used for my purple, blue, red hair. I love it cos I can just apply it myself (given that my hair is black and it only colors the portions which are bleached – that’s fairly simple) But now that my whole head is considerably light. I’d better head... Read More
Hairy Issues
Got my hair done about a month ago? Before my 2nd Tokyo trip this year. D: super backlogged right. By now the color disappear already! Thanks to Estrella, I realized there was an awesome hair reference website (kakimoto arms) and I showed my hairstylist this! “I want this color!” Apparently my stylist says doing my hair is stressful – I always have a certain color to match or something : x And more often than not I have to use...

Styled: Curls! And centre parting.
Went to WARS (far east plaza, level 2) for a hair wash + massage (shiokkkk) and decided to try out a style I spotted on Ayumi for her Virgin road PV in the latest issue of Vivi for the wedding photoshoot. Testing lah… My hair’s not long enough : ( She didn’t exactly pin the hair till it was like that cos backcombing was needed for the puff, but she positioned it in a few ways to show me the possible look. AHHHHHH NICE! the... Read More
Tsubaki Hair Care by Shiseido – Review
Shiseido Singapore recently brought in the made in Japan Tsubaki hair care range – a little late, but better than never – and it’s exclusively available at Watsons.

Browhaus Love – Browgraphy (Thread & Tweeze)
Was treated to a Browgraphy session with compliments from Browhaus – part of the Spa Esprit Group and Ciba Vision! Browgraphy includes lightening or darkening, in case your hair has been treated and no longer matches your brows and shaping, which was threading and tweezing. I’ve been having light/bleached hair for quite a while now, and I never thought of dying my brows. Okay I did but you can’t really use the same dye as you use... Read More
I LOVE Blue and I want blue hair : (
I miss my hair in blue. These are some really nice and quite impossible combinations which I’d like to see on my head… But I’ll probably have no more hair left if i did it. I mean, like, Platinum BLONDE? Not possible for asian hair! : ( Really don’t feel like screwing with my hair since I spent so much on keeping it healthy. But it’s probably the only time my hair...

Haircut + EKS Hydro-Nutritive Vitamins Complex
Finally had my hair’s damaged ends trimmed off. The sheep needed to cut his hair at WARS (Far East Plaza), so I ended up having the best head massage ever and got it trimmed lah. Tadah~ She did a little end curl thingy for me. This is after 1 whole day… Was too sleepy the day before (after the heavenly head massage) to take pics. : x I’m wearing my uber comfy Superdry tee! Yang got it from UK. They have stores in SG as well, and... Read More
Taking care of dry, bleached hair.
Dry, tangly hair. Well that’s the hair condition i deserved after throwing it to bleach and multiple dye jobs. My aunt was “screaming” that my hair was thinning – but of course lah, your bleach your hair sure thin one. It’s so chio now but so dry T_T…. Anyway i found it super hard to comb through when it’s trying to dry, and frizzy and tangly at hair ends. My roots are fine, the hair near my roots are still... Read More
New Hair: Ash Brown/Matte Green
After sitting in the salon for 6.5 hours, going through 2 rounds of bleaching and 3 hair washes, finally I got my hair brown! Love it. It’s even brighter now. And this is how much bleaching I have to do… I felt like Naruto. -_-” My hair is now really fragile, and I have to apply treatment everytime I wash my hair. Meh. Being a (vain) girl is so expensive!

Almost got an Illustrator book for 74 but decided I could get it from the library instead. Anyway…. Yes that’s yet another mook! : D The white version is so muuuuuuchhhhhhh cuter!

New Hair Color
Well, I loved my blue hair, but only the dark color rather than the faded blue. It fades really fast. And it was time to get rid of the blue, as it was making me look old > : | Plus the mum (and April) was nagging at me to change color. I wanted to go back to japanese girl brown. BUT! Errr… Because my hair was bleached here and there…. it wasn’ easy to solve so things took a different turn after 3 stylists had a meeting behind my... Read More
Blue Hair
Remember the dye i got? and my blonde hair? Well mix them together and….. Voila! I now have blue hair! With some purple highlights. So now it looks purplish-blue on the fringe and very, very blue at the back. I honestly prefer this more than the blonde. I feel a little chao lao with the blonde. Was cool while it lasted! Life’s just great. Damn happy with my new hair color. Finally looking forward to the trip! Getting to this color was... Read More
Gone to the black side
After pre-ordering a week ago, then calling and getting hung up by SingTel, then surviving another customer service officer (“huh? pre-order? you mean you ordered online?” sheesh.), getting transferred to the promotion department and bargaining my way through to my $150 voucher, and surviving yet another “huh? pre-order? you ordered online?” CSO at the hello shop itself, I finally got my Blackberry! And the price i got it? An... Read More
“Aiyo! Why your hair like that!?”
That pretty much sums up most of the reaction after I bleached my hair for fun, and I looked like Hikaru from Hikaru No Go. It all started when i was 17… First it was when i first dyed my hair – Gosh i was damn happy. I did it at Chapter 2. Then I was invited by Toni & Guy to get my hair done and colored…. with hot pink highlights. Couldn’t find the pic. Then a hair makeover by Kimage (where i had purple), and i stopped... Read More
