Spring lovin.

This is an outdated travel post !

It was sometime back then last year in September.I think.This was so long ago until i don't even remember the dates anymore T___T

Today's my first day of mid term break,so i am allowed to talk about travelling and day dream a little.Though my mid terms are over,but its just the beginning of my nightmare.Ahhhh,final exams.

Like in less than two months?Gah,this is so frustrating i don't want to think about it.Plus auntie rosy is being a bitch,cramps and backache is certainly not helping at all.I'd always wonder how come only girls gets period and guys don't.This is so unfair.We have to suffer every once in a month and they can just get away with everything !LITERALLY *clears throat* 'EVERYTHING'.If you get what i mean.

Anyway,i just want to stay home today,blog,watch dramas and eat cake.

Dramas ---- best way of escapism.



Looking back at old travelling pictures helps too.It brings back the memories and i can stay up reminiscing for hours.I think this is the reason why i love taking so much pictures when i travel.Capture the best moments so you don't forget.

These pictures are taken when i was in Melbourne.We went on a road trip to Daylesford !A peaceful small town that is famous for their hot springs and some other sight seeing attractions.

It took us a while to search for the guest house and bath house.Thank god we manage to make it on time before it closes.I had a pleasant two hours in there.Hot springs are forever so awesome.

Such a serene and tranquil place to be.It sorta reminds me of Germany.Except that it isn't snowing in Melbourne.Haha.

You get stunning views of forests and bush lands all around you even when you're in the hot spring.

Back to the retreat house !Was expecting something like a cottage guesthouse since we're in the suburb,but then it turned out to be the opposite !This is quite a luxury and modern setting.

Woke up pretty early to check out and did a little bit of sight seeing before heading back to Melbourne !
We were told that there's a beautiful place for brunch in the middle of a Botanic garden,so we went to check it out !

Keep calm and take a picture.

Went to check out a vineyard after but it was closed !Wasn't the right season.
Apparently they have lavender field too,but also wasn't the right season to visit.Such a disappointment .But overall it was a great trip.

Shawn Cutler | Hair makeover

I got a call from a talent agency months back and i was informed that i got an advertistment role for a huge mobile network company.After since i got that call ,my life started to change,things were great,it just goes accordingly to what i have planned,and some even turned out unexpected.Luck seems to be on my side all the time.
And i actually won an Ipad during a lucky draw session !Finally !After 21 years in my life. *tears of joy*
I've never won anything during any lucky draw session previously.Its just my luck.And it sucks. 

But this time,things were different.

Me : 'Everything is too good to be true.This is so scary but i am so happy.' 

Luke : 'Maybe it was the lucky hair cut you got.It brought you luck.You said you wanted a change right?'

Mayyyyybe.Seems like i'll be getting a hair cut pretty often now and then.Haha!I can be quite superstitious if i want to.

Anyway,speaking of my lucky hair cut,it all happened in Bangsar Telawi,in this Salon named Shawn Cutler.I'm sure most of you already know where Shawn Cutler is,especially if you're the regulars who hangs out a lot in Bangsar Telawi area.



This salon is full of surprises.From the interior and settings to the talented hair stylist with their magic fingers.

Such a cozy place to be !A wall full of art works and pictures.This is actually the waiting area.You can do some reading meanwhile when you're waiting for your turn.

CIMG0320




Huge dressing room mirrors !It reminds me a lot of the broadway musicals .It was so popular back then.

Aside of getting a hair cut,i also get to change my hair color !
My stylist,Karen is the most amazing stylist ever.We sorta discussed about the hair color i wanted,i told her i want a color that is easy to maintain and the color won't fade too easily and quickly.She decided to try on a slightly darker ash green on me.Changing hair color is such an exhilarating thing to do !

I also get to pamper myself with manicure and pedicure !

Mani pedi service is available at Shawn Cutler now.Stephanie the manicurist is such a babe.She really takes her job seriously !This is such a VIP treatment,couldn't be more grateful.
Imagine you had a long day,and towards the end of the day you get to just sit down,relax and let other people pamper you.

Such a good feeling.

Meanwhile while waiting ...

Painted my toes red !So my legs look fairer.

CIMG0306




Nude color for the nails !I can't afford to grow my nails so i had to cut it short.

CIMG0310


Ta-da !The outcome of my hair color !And after a hair cut of course.Almost one inch and more was cut off.And i'm so happy with the results.Say bye bye to my damage and dull hair.

I look fairer and my hair color turned out to be really natural on me.A different hair color definitely makes an impact towards your looks.

  CIMG0312 



The salon is using all Loreal products.And their latest INOA hair color contains no ammonia,no odor and no itching.There are more than 50 INOA shades from you to choose from 8 families of color shades : Copper,red,gold,brown,beiges,natural black,burgundy,indescent,ash and naturals.

Mine was under the ash family.

This was the second day when i got my hair makeover.
I can now leave it straight,maybe blow dry a little and give it a little curve towards the end.

Slight curl with different partings.
