Salon VIM: Ombre Hair!!

Nowadays, every time I return to Singapore I will immediately book an appointment with Ivan from Salon VIM at the 313 Somerset outlet for some major hair rescue. Well, I am away most of the time in australia and that means that most of the time my roots start growing out, my hair lacks proper treatments. In order words, requires some "work". 

I would never never never trust the hairdressers in Australia with my hair (Cause the angmohs and asians have different hair types which require different kind of care and products) and after being introduced to Salon VIM, I never visited visited any other salons I felt that I could trust.

This time after some discussion with Ivan, we decided on doing ombre highlights for my hair and also going a few shades darker with the base. Yeah I still prefer a darker hair shade in the end cause I think I end up looking pretty ahlian if I go too light a colour! 

Doing the main rescue for my hair: the Kera-Fusion Treatment

^^ Tadaaaaa! The above pictures are the final results of my hair! I fell in love with it immediately the moment I saw it. And TBH, I am pretty fussy with my hair (ask my friends, they know best). But I was like "omgggggg, i loveee it!!!". You can imagine how happy and excited I was. And I immediately WA my mom a picture of my hair. Hahahahha, that was how happy I was. 

However, I really had a hard time trying to snap a picture of my hair from the front view that would do my hair justice. All the pictures just couldn't bring out the true colours of it!! Other than the one of the back view since it is most obvious from the back and from the front, it just looks more subtle! But really, no picture can do the ombre highlights Ivan did for me justice. Which is really such a pity!! So the best pic I could find was really the picture above from the side view! But you all can probably imagine it from the back view right! 

Anyway, remember to look for Ivan at the 313 Somerset outlet! He's my hair stylist and is really good! 

Do call to book an appointment before heading down cause he is a really busy man! 

Salon VIM recently expanded (congrats!!!) and is still located at 313 Somerset but a different unit!

There are many phases in our lives and at different phases, and in this different phases we would have different wants and needs. Say for example, during poly days I used to think that guys who wore red wings were super cool yet now, I kinda go "urghh yucks" at the sight of guys wearing them? Even these days when I look at a picture of an outfit I wore a few days back, I would cringe and wonder why I even chose that outfit. Hahah kinda funny looking back though. You start laughing at your choices and decisions, wondering why you even did that. Yet at that point in time, it was everything you wanted or could care about. I guess its really true that time does "heal" everything, even if its not a wound. So for now, I can only wish that two/three/four months down the road, I will look back and laugh at myself for being so silly. 

Flaws

We are all human and everyone has flaws. Some insensitive people just go around commenting on others, shooting their mouths away without considering that others have feelings too. "Why your boobs so flat?" "Your tummy is showing" "eeee you got no butt" I think these words are said so easily today, without thinking twice. But no one is perfect. If u want someone perfect, go date a Barbie doll? Oh wait, maybe Barbie isn't perfect enough either. These comments may be said jokingly, or just casually but consequences go a long way. I know of true stories of how girls have become anorexic and almost lost her life cause of a 14 year old boy's ignorant idiotic comment on how she was "fat". Fat? What is fat? Maybe that's why I find humans so disgusting sometimes and I'm ashamed to be one.

Short picture update! 

10 July 2014

Everyone knows, okay perhaps not everyone but only people close to me, would know how I am a sucker for romantic stuffs, korean dramas, the whole prince charming in shining armour/frog prince package. I would really like to blame it on disney, or the whole korean drama for leading me to live in this whole warped idea of love/relationships or whatever kind. But when young, as a young kid of course the whole princess-y thing is what makes up your childhood. How about when a person gets older? Did this disney thing lead us to have a false idea of happily ever afters? Do happily ever afters even exist? Or perhaps disney mentioned that the prince and princess lived happily ever after, but with each other? Or they probably forgot to mention all the arguments, disputes experienced, hurt feelings. Cause after all, some things are better left unsaid? It was actually all good till a few years ago I found out the "truth" about little mermaid and I got so affected, I cried. I didn't know why i got so affected then and kinda went "thats bullshit", but thinking back, it might actually be true? 

Someone very important was telling me that day that what is shown in korean dramas, don't happen and thats why we watch them. Cause they never happen in real life. There's no kissing in the rain, running after another on a bus, cooking porridge when the other is sick and staying by their side. Well, and people don't wake up looking that good or even when drenched in water/mud, smelling that great, for the matter right? People kiss, but not in the rain. People kiss cause maybe they are drunk? Or cause they just want to? When people get sick, a "take care, drink more water, remember to take your medicine" text is probably one of the best you can expect. Guys in the korean dramas don't want much physical contact from you, perhaps just a kiss and then next scene! In real life? I can't be too sure its the same. People have morning breath when they wake up, and cmon, they're hair isn't always perfectly styled, and clothed in such fancy pyjamas. More of rags? Hahahahah. 

But then again, if you are able to accept the good and bad, then thats what you call real love right? And thats the whole challenge. Love isn't easy. Nobody said it was. Its definitely not as easy as saying it. Everyone can say it, few can mean it. It can be shown in many different ways. Does not necessarily need to be in a particular way that is conventional, cause different people have different ways of showing it. It might not be very obvious, might not be the way you want it to be, but whatever it is, when its real you will know it. There's no right or wrong. 

A Short Update

    Its been ages since I visited this space of mine, there were many times I typed words but yet somehow never ever clicked on the "publish" button. Its mostly bits and pieces of thoughts from here, there and everywhere. But never ever a proper post. Or perhaps I just rather keep these thoughts to myself, hide them inside me. 

      Life has been pretty mundane for me, definitely less fancy, less colourful. But somehow I am just choosing to let things be, preferring to let things be as they are and continuing to wait. Wait for what? I don't know. I don't know what life has in store for me next, so we'll see how it goes. For now, I am just slacking away, waking up everyday and just seeing what plans there are for me every day. I wonder how long this is gonna last, I kinda wish this whole "i don't know where I am heading to" phase will stop. But then again, would I be able to handle everything that comes charging my way if there was a change? 

      Time is passing way too quickly for my liking and literally in a blink of an eye, its July. Wow, did half a year just go by like that? What have I done this half year I ask myself. Nothing? A lot of things? Mehh, I can't be too sure I liked this year or when I look back on 31 dec 2014, will I look back wishing time would come to a standstill or wishing 2015 would hurry come, for a new brand new start ahead.

       Oh what am I ranting about now? These words don't even seem to make sense.
