Hair dyeing at Toni & Guy!

It's really been a while since I have written anything (the pity one post last month). One reason was because I had been cooping in my house "preparing" for my final examination, resulting in me not going anywhere, doing anything or eating any nice food (being extreme for once). I thought, since this is the last paper for professional level, I'd go all out and play to my heart content later. 

Anyway, the final this time wasn't bright at all. The chance of passing isn't high. Arggghhh, let's just stop being so negative!! It's just another exam if I fail anyway~ 

Right after my finals, I had my hair highlighted at Toni & Guy in Bangsar. It was my first hair dye in a salon and I thought of remembering it this way.

My sister and I went for dyeing together. It was done by the apprentices in the salon. As they are still hair stylist-in-learning, the process was unexpectedly long. The consultation alone took about an hour and it included assessing our hair conditions and suitability of hair colour. 

After an hour, the dyeing started. It started with the instructor demonstrating colouring a few layers of our hair and then proceeded by the students. 


After finished dyeing our hair, our hair was subjected to this artificial heat. 


Then, our hair was shampooed and styled and was graded by the instructor. The result?? TADA!!


Mine was highlighted with 2 brown and a red while my sis was highlighted with 2 red and a copper.


My sister and I were satisfied with the result. Mine isn't really obvious but under the sun it is brilliant. I totally love it. Thank you very much Toni & Guy!!!

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie

4D3N in Hong Kong (part 2)

Hi! Happy Chinese New Year!! Continuing from the previous post . DAY 2 We woke up early for breakfast at the Hong Kong-ians' favourite DIM SUM! We went to a dim sum restaurant near our hotel and ordered about 12 items as my sister and I were starving (planned to stuff as much as we could as we knew that the food in Disneyland would cost twice as much as the usual food price). We thought that 12 items were quite the normal amount until the waitress turned around and confirmed with us the amount of food that we ordered. Were 12 items too much for 4 people?  These are some of the items that we ordered. If you are not sure what to order, try order the items that are marked with a star. Those are the recommended items.  Right after the sumptuous breakfast, we immediately headed off to the must-go destination - Hong Kong Disneyland. Going to Disneyland by MTR is not a mission impossible. In fact, MTR in Hong Kong has the easiest route from all the places that I hav
