Hong Kong Bound

Literally memorable that I made it to Hong Kong on last month, January 2016, a first trip in this year. 

That was so good when traveling there. I would say Hong Kong is always great, with beautiful scenery, tasty foods and good weather. 

Traveling with Singapore Airlines is always best and needed. The world ranking no.2 of World Best Airlines in year 2015. Also known as Safest Airline in the world.

That wasn't a trip mainly for delicacies, but a relaxable journey instead. It was time to temporarily away from Singapore, such a hustle and bustle city. And also everyone should knows the weather in Hong Kong in between December to February, especially February. And I was going there in January, weather is about 16° and no raining. 

I had an awesome hotel in Hong Kong, a fabulous staying with Harbour Grand Hotel. Hong Kong land is like two coasts with sea separates capital (Central area) and Victoria Harbour. Aforementioned hotel is located at the capital side, nearby Fortress Hill station. As I got the second VIP room and it was with a sea view at higher storey-39. 

Few places that I went to, the unforgettable one is site for TVB drama (Gong Xin Ji) shooting, Lai Chi garden which nearby Mei Foo station. As a supporter of TVB drama for years and I went to their site like finally. I love Cantonese speaking, I love TVB drama and so I love Hong Kong.

Usually Hong Kong is meant as island of gourmet foods. But as it wasn't the main reason when I selecting Hong Kong as destination of first trip of the year, therefore I never tried much signature well-known foods like barbecue (chicken rice, cha siew etc), chee cheong fun, dim sum and so on. What I had is bought "yu dan" (curry fish balls) from road side stall, wantan noodle from road side stall and Tsui Wah restaurant, "boh loh bao" (pineapple bun) from Tsui Wah restaurant, eggtarts from normal bakery shop instead of famous one, and the signature Hong Kong milk tea. I like Hong Kong milk tea, I did take 2 cups of milk tea in every single meal. 

Append below are photos taken during that Hong Kong trip, all remain as original picture without any filter edited is just to keep them real for good reference. 

Amazing trip with Hong Kong and will be back there again soon. 

How to keep hair gentle smooth #Hair care solutions

A new trend of short hair has raised my attention on it. Among all of my blogger friends, they done hair cut from long hair to short hair and it's just for a new year 2016. I had think of it repeatedly, I keep a long hair for years, it never been short. And now, the hair stylist literally did not disappointed me, he got me a good hair style for this fabulous new year. 

Sizzling hot all year round in Singapore. In fact, women's hair is much difficult to be maintain as smooth without any damaged. With a good hair would brighten your days indeed. The way to tend and protect your hair isn't just based on a bottle of hair treatment cream. It is necessary to choose a suitable shampoo, hair treatment cream, "leave on" type hair conditional and a good hair dryer. And based on my own experiences, I was realized that almost every brand of shampoo/conditioner/treatment cream is good to use during first few times but became "no result" after that. In fact that 3 crucial matters caused it. 

1. Individual hair type.

2. Never formed a habit of blow drying the hair after shower. 

3. Do not use only 1 brand of hair shampoo and conditioner. Use two different brands of shampoo and conditioner to makes hair remain strong in nutrition adsorbability.  

Append below are the products for my own daily use. Used to get hair care products from any online store, especially refuse to use any been advertised in TV advertising film. Would prefer refer to real results from other users when I buying something from online store instead of those been advertised exaggeratedly in advertising film. 

The KAFEN brand shampoo and treatment cream. So far the best brand of hair care product I ever used. Purchased it from Malaysia online store, costed MYR180 and come as set (shampoo, treatment cream and conditioner oil). Aside to the mentioned conditional oil, it was been omitted from this post owing to I don't use it. Own preference, I always prefer to use conditional cream instead of oily product. This shampoo is exclusive for permed and colored hair. Commonly I would perm my hair and do hair color touch up always. When finished from washing hair after this shampoo (red color bottle), hair will be unsmooth owing to it is discharging the harmful chemical from hair. Therefore, to apply the relevant treatment cream (yellow color bottle) on hair is a must do. Concept of 2 in 1 to complete the hair wash. 

The KERASYS brand, oriental premium shampoo and conditioner. I have forgotten its price, should be around SGD60 for 2 bottles (shampoo plus conditioner), will be available to get from any Watson store. Different with KAFEN, this shampoo is mainly for normal hair type instead of specified perm/colored hair. 

This SBARK hair protein cream was recommended by my hair stylist. An economical yet efficient hair care product ever, costed MYR80. The mentioned "conditioner cream" above is to let readers to understand but it's actually considered as protein as hair needed. 

It comes as creamed type, a fingertip of it is enough for my short hair. As use twice a day, it is sufficient to use for more than 6 months long. Apply it on towel dried hair and hair will not be oily after used. Last but not least, blow drying your hair is a must do. 

Choose a good hair dryer, first important feature is the hair dryer comes with "cold and hot air". 

As hot air will dry a lot faster but make sure to keep moving the air dryer so it doesn't fry your hair. And hot air for blow drying does more damage to hair and removes moisture, we should blow drying hair with cold air if we aren't rushing time. The way I use when rushing time, is to use hot air to dry it more (about 40%) at the first, then turn to cold air after that. Blow drying your hair after applied hair care product will helps to increase its efficiencies. Leave your hair dry naturally after applied the hair cafe product is considered as never applied. I hope this post would be helpful for you to make your hairs become prettier and healthier, consistently do these to turn your damaged hair becomes gentle smooth.
