Mermaid hair!

Yes, my hair turned bluish-gray!

Last Sunday after visiting the aquarium, I decided to drop by my usual saloon Zing Hair Studio at Wangsa Maju, which like, I visit 4 times a year because I lazy hahaha.

Photos here photoshopped BTW. 


 The initial plan was to get my hair dyed dark ash brown with pink highlights. Somehow, there was a miscommunication and my hairdresser got me dark ash instead. She did repeatedly asked me but having spent a few hours bleaching my hairs and my brain wasn't functioning cause I was so bored waiting even though I had my phone to browse the internet. It's the saloon effect thingy, a psychology term coined by yours truly. I talk a lot of shit, I know. My friends know that too XD

It was also, my first time bleaching in my whole life and my first time in years to dye my hair. I have been trying to keep my hair healthy but the whole double-bleaching it destroyed my entire tres in just two hours WTF

They were so coarse I can cry, my poor hair! So I asked them to add on treatment which helped the middle to lower section of my hair but the crown is still coarse and hard... (T____T)

This was my hair when the entire crown was ash grey. This is from the saloons FB page.




MC, my hairdresser insisted they are beautiful, which I do not doubt but still think the color was not the most suitable for office lady like me. Plus, god knows how aweful it will look considering I don't know how to maintain other-than-brown hair color.

I asked her to overlay with a darker shade and she decided on blue but I would have appreciated she informing me first 😅😂

So at the end of my 5-hour long session my hair looked like this




The next few days while I when around window shopping.


In a different lighting



Got a few compliments for it from bff and close friends. Tons more of stares from strangers WTF hahahahah.

Took more selfies recently cause now my hair color is different at least I have a reason to show off please don't hate me hahhaha



I don't hate my hair, but think it's unique though harder to maintain. The bleached really destroyed them I'm mourning.

On top of dyeing my hair I bought a violet blue shampoo and treatment.


IMO the violet blue dye will be great to cover up my bluish-ash gray hair when they start to fade in a few weeks time. At least I hope. Will tell you about it once I tested them for a month or so *fingers crossed* So far I've only used them once and I can see the purple dye is pretty thick.

I also bought this Lucido-L Lively Lasting Curls hair cream to keep my hair looking neat. I have really natural curly messy hair that is now accentuated by the ash gray...



Will write a review on this and my other new hair care products after I tested them for a longer period! Blogging again soon!

Aquaria Kuala Lumpur @KLCC Experience

Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to visit Aquaria KLCC, a place I have been wanting to visit for all the years I live in Kuala Lumpur. I got to know that I could purchase the tickets for less at 11th Street site, the same online shopping portal I got my Instax Mini Films, also for an awesome bargain!
 
The tickets for adult Malaysians cost RM46 if you purchase at the counter but only RM35 for adults online.

However, you do need to send text message to the vendor to claim your e-tickets, which takes two days to process. I had initially planned for a Saturday outing but because I had only contacted the vendor on a Friday, they got back to my adventure kaki (Kaki means leg in Malay but it is a Malaysian way of saying a buddy who hangs out with you whether for travel or mamak session or just anything!), stating that they couldn't get the e-tickets confirmed.



We got there at 11AM, hoping to get away from the crowd but 10 minutes into checking in, there was already a mini crowd. We were lucky to catch the cute otters feeding slash exercising session and they were adorable! Fun fact, the Malaysian otters are the smallest in the world! Which means the other otters gotta be obese, cause the otters displayed was by no mean "small". Good to know there are fat otters around.






We cruised past mini aquariums with fishes, crabs, lobsters, eels & loads other animals then past a 'shipwreck' housing several other aquariums with odd looking fishes. I won't upload many photos here cause I don't want to spoil the fun of exploring Aquaria KLCC, but trust me, it may not be the biggest aquarium in South East Asia, it is still an interesting destination if you love aquariums as much as I do.




My favorite part gotta be the rain forest, which house a few tanks with humongous-size fish, you might wonder how many people one fish can feed. I know, I know, but they're sorta food so....


If you're as observant as me, you'd notice they play recordings of birds in the wild and even thunders, accompanied by lightning effect which was pretty cool!

My next favorite part is the tunnel, where you can admire the fishes swimming around and over you, even huge sharks and stingray! Or funny faces of stingray like this one


I'm under the sea~ under the sea~


If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of fishes feeding on one another. Spotted a stingray feeding on some fish LOL. 

I went through the tunnel twice because I love the place so much! Could have gone in another time but I don't want to bore my friend, just in case.


Afterwards, more aquariums and then it was browsing through the souvenirs shop. They have lotsa cute plushies and I bought a husky one, because the fur is so soft~~~ Another because I have been looking for doggy plushies :) 

See my cutie~



Anddd that was it! Oh how I wish there were more! Though we did spent a good one and a half hour in there LOL

~~

We were starving after that, me only had Porky for breakie because I was rushing out and my adventure kaki only had a box of milk wtf. Because we spotted a  palm-sized crab that reminded us of soft shell crab, we decided to go for Japanese hahahahah.

I recommended Yuzu, a place I had been a few years ago and love their bento set so much because the food is amazing and its generous portion so worth the price! Ben thought he could just go with a simple, small set but it came with so many sides which was not shown in the menu hahahaha

This was Ben's bento _ Salmon Bento RM37 or RM39 I don't remember.



Mine, Yuzu Bento for about RM50




I only remembered I ordered the similar set the first time I went to Yuzu when the bento arrived and everything was just how I remembered it. The food are just as how I remembered them too, so yummy and the quality unchanged. I still love them very much! Will highly recommend this place. We were so stuffed OMG, so much that I didn't feel hungry until late evening.

That same day, I got my hair dyed mermaid color, it was not what I planned. Tell you how that happened in my next post!
