Red and Fat "Snake" Year

年初一, first day of Chinese New Year. Huat ah!!! Haha, I wore the reddest piece in my wardrobe, a slim-fit flare dress I picked up during last-minute shopping. Red is good, consider it a bright, happy color that brings the wearer a sunny and bright future *fingers crossed* There are few other superstitions (good-luck traditions) my family practice on the first day of CNY, apart from wearing red, such as no washing hair and no sweeping or dusting in the house.

Prosperity Toss and Hot Pot Reunion Dinner

Chinese aka Lunar New Year's Eve fell on the Saturday this year. I went to work in the morning, finished, came home and did the routine things I'd usually do before heading out again. My face was naked (no make-up), messy hair (partially tied up after blow-dry), and I couldn't bother to put on contact lens as my eyes were pretty sore yesterday.

Mr. Choo and I showed up in black, while the loving family of three (oops, should be four now =p) wore the reddest possible outfits to welcome the Water Snake in 2013.

Glamorous Wok: Loving My New Hair Color

So, I did the first wash on my newly colored hair yesterday. The feeling was not pleasant, at all. It felt like shampoo-ing and rubbing Barbie Doll's hair, just plain rough and dry *teary eyes* Beauty comes at a price, I believe everything does. And I'm gonna have to deal with the consequence, both goods and bads until the roots fully grow out.

Hanaichi: Dining with New Hair Color

Hello, Monday! What's up, everybody?! Do you notice any different about me today? *ahem* Anyone? *blinks eyes* It's my hair, I dyed my hair for the first time in my life!!! No kidding =)) I got them professionally done by this Korean Hair Salon down in Sunnybank yesterday. The first question asked after the hairdresser found out about me being a first timer was, "How old are you?" Hahaha~ Oh yeah, she was shocked, but I can assure you that my family (specially my mum) and friends would be open-mouth shocked when they see me.

Saturday at the Coffee Club

Valentine's month is here, can you feel the love in the air? I felt very much loved today, blessed with good food and all after work on a Saturday evening. We walked into the restaurant, welcomed by this cute baby-faced waiter who served us the last time we came. His face, his smile resemble the Hollywood actor, Elijah Wood a lot but way younger? Haha xD
