TOKYO IN SNAPSHOTS

HI GUYS!! Greetings from Tokyo! 
This much anticipated holiday was kinda ruined at the moment we landed... because MY LUGGAGE WENT MISSING. We waited at the conveyor until everyone took their lugagges la and mine was still missing :'( And the airport staff told me perhaps my luggage was still in Singapore. I NEARLY CRIED. I felt so lost without my luggage. I had no clothes/shoes/daily necessities and all my eyeshadow/eyelashes (to make me look more jap la!!) and I was just in a romper, cardigan and slippers. *slaps forehead*
Thankfully, my luggage came earlier this afternoon so finally I HAVE MY CLOTHES and also, I can upload pics into my laptop!! For now, let's just make do with a few instagram shots ^^

Jj's sister did my nails for me before I left. She's so great in such nailart she should totally set up a home-nail-salon!


Taken before our flight at 1am. Shagged faces of my travel buddies and I.


Because my luggage exceeded in weight, I took out some stuff including this 1 blazer and 2 shorts. BLESSING IN DISGUISE MAN. So I had this blazer with me to beat the cold on Day 1 in Shinjuku! And  then the rest of the day was spent trying to search for outfits to wear on Day 2!


Day 2!

We went to Shibuya!! And a mandatory shot with Hachiko, the loyal dog!! It was kinda hot in the afternoon yesterday!

And evening time... finally it was cold so I could put on my outer wear!


Day 3 (today)! The day my beloved luggage arrived :D It was the best day ever because my clothes, shoes, money and everything were still intact inside :D Yes... everyone were scolding how dumb I was to keep 3/4 of my money inside the luggage lol.
We went to Harajuku!
Meiji Shrine! Couple wear in Stripes and NB shoes!! ^^


Harajuku Street!
And Harajuku has the BEST CREPES EVER. It was so good I went back twice just to eat it again!


And neoprints taken at Harajuku!! Funny how the machine auto shrank our faces and enlarged our eyes!! LOOK AT JJ'S EYES LA... BAHAHAHAH damn funny!!! And the machine also asked us to input our names but it was all in Jap characters?? We didn't know what to write so we anyhow clicked. And my name was called SESOMI while Jj's FUHEME. Lol friggin funny la!
Okay needa sleep now because it's DISNEYSEA tomorrow!! Not a fan of rides but I am still excited because I am gonna get Duffy, Sheilla May and take tons & tons of pictures!!! :D
Goodnight!!!

KOREA IN MOTION!!

Hello!! Here's a video taken in Korea!! Not really a proper vlog because it's kinda stitching whatever videos I have together! And this video.... is actually DONE BY MY WONDERFUL BOYFRIEND because he ended exams before me. Lol. Omg he's sucha pro in video-editing too already! Bahahaha. Can't wait to take nicer videos in Japan!! 
Finally ended my exams today and will be flying to Japan tomorrow. SO FRIGGIN EXCITED I can't contain my excitement!!!! Okay right now, I need to go catch up on my sleep even though I have not even pack a single thing for my trip ~.~
Goodnight people!!!!!

Adv: Pantene 14-Day Healthy Hair Care Challenge!

Remember that I said I was gonna try the new hair care series from PANTENE on my previous post?

It's the new COLOUR & CARE LASTING CARE range! Do you think that colouring or curling is your hair’s immediate death sentence? According to Lais Koelle, Pantene Scientific Communications scientist, Pantene’s newest Colour & Perm Lasting Care range empowers women for the first time ever, to achieve their desired end look, without compromising on hair health. Still skeptical? Check out the pictures of my hair progress!!


My hair condition on DAY 7 after using the products! The original purple may no longer be obvious anymore but it has faded to a pretty shade of pink!!


DAY 14 and PINK HAIR still clearly visible!!
Honestly I am quite shocked that my purple ombre ends managed to stay on for so long (Been 1 month since I dyed it!!). I expected the colour to fade from purple to pink to brown in 2-3weeks but seems like the pink is still going on strong even after 1 month!


Side by side comparison of Day 1, 7 and 14 hair after using the COLOUR & PERM LASTING CARE range!
My hair remains soft even though my hair ends were bleached 3 times!! And I am sure the conditioner from this range played a big role in maintaining the condition of my hair! The colours of my hair may be no longer as vibrant but this is PART AND PARCEL of dyeing hair. Gotta accept that fact that colours do fade and will not always remain the same way as when you just dyed it. So I am really happy that at least the shampoo kinda slowed down the process of the colours from being washed away after every shower!

And my favourite product of all?

The 6 Week Colour Protect Treatment Program!! It instantly repairs hair that has gone through severe chemical damage and hair feels super duper soft each time after using it!! Not forgetting that it smells like heaven as well!!
For something really affordable to most of us, I would say these products do what it says and I would highly recommend this range to those who always colour/perm their hair!! Try it for yourself today and see the difference! 

Jrunway Finals x Mother's Day!!

Hi guys!! It's been kinda long since I've updated this space. And I have this tiny winy guilt in me for not updating. Lol. And I really really wanted to update but my life is just too boring at this moment, there's really nothing much I can talk about... other than whining about exams and how much I hate what I am studying :/

Face shot taken a few days ago!! Haven't been taking much pictures recently because I am always at home, MAKEUPLESS.


So btw, if you have read some of my tweets, you would have realised that I AM IN THE FINALS FOR JRUNWAY CONTEST!! Honestly, this was super surprising because I really joined for fun and I remembered the requirement was super easy. Like just have to submit a picture of myself? Then there was also public voting BUT it wasn't just internet voting. Voters actually had to spend a certain amount of money in Jrunway in order to be eligible to vote. Obviously, I didn't want to trouble any of my friends to spend money just to vote for me.. So I pretty much thought that I would be out of this contest, especially when there were more than 300 applicants!!
Until sometime last week, I received the confirmation email from Jrunway that I was voted into the finals!! I was super duper shocked & happy at the same time la cuz it was really unexpected and it really came off as a surprise!! Really gotta thank all the Jrunway shoppers who voted for me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

So if you would like to come and support, or to see your favourite judges, head down to:
JRUNWAY Plaza Singapura #01-54 15th May Wednesday 7-9pm
This is FREE and everyone is welcome to come okay!!! :D

After the contest, there's also a Jstar after party event (Tokyo Fashion Night by BARK in STYLe). Kinda excited about this because I'll be walking down the runway with the professional models from Japan!!!! Okay la actually feeling quite nervous because I know nuts about runway walk... But alright I am just going to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience!! :D If you're interested, you can come for the after party event too!
Tokyo Fashion Night by BARK in STYLe Club Kyo (133 Cecil Street, Keck Seng Tower #B1-02) 15th May Wednesday 10pm Runway show by models and Jstar Contestants: 11pm Ticket: $25 (1 drink)  *For 21 and above only*

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!! Xx

- - - Today is MOTHER'S DAY so I wanna say a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMSIES OUT THERE!!! :D  You all deserve to be treated like a QUEEN today!!

Mother's Day card for my mum!! Quite shabbily done because of time constraint! But ehhh, thought that counts right!

And we had a HOMEMADE HIGHTEA BRUNCH at home!!
With macarons from Ladurée!!! 

So excited about the macarons because literally EVERYONE was flooding my IG with Ladurée macarons pictures! If you don't already know, Ladurée opened their first branch in Singapore at Takashimaya and the macarons are specially imported from Ladurée in Europe, about 3-4 times a week.

8 Macarons costing $38!!! *OUCH*


Had English tea to go with too!! Super nice!!


My favourites are MARIE ANTOINETTE MACARON and the ROSE PETAL!! They were sooo good compared to the rest which were quite normal. I think Canele macarons have about comparable standards leh. Just my opinion. Like let's say if the queue at Ladurée is ridiculously long, I think I would just head over to Canele to satisfy my cravings instead!




And Dajie's made-with-love Salad!!




The apple of our family, Dylan!!!


FAMILY SHOT!!!
Love you Daddy, Mummy, Dajie, Erjie and not forgetting my chubby nephew, Dylan!!


Anw I'm still gonna be real busy for the next few days but you can always ask me anything over at my ask.fm! Or follow me at my instagram/twitter for more daily updates. Till then!!! :D

Adv: PANTENE & STUDIOBLACK

HI HI HI HI HI!!! In case you are wondering... YEAAA I am still stuck at home studying for my upcoming exams which is happening tmr!!!! Ahmituofuo ahhh!!! Every year I tell myself to start studying earlier but I always end up studying hardcore-ly only 2 weeks before the exams. Not good, not good at all.

So anyway, Pantene SG recently sponsored me the newest Revolutionary Liquid Crystal Shampoo - Colour & Perm Lasting Care Range!

I don't have permed hair so I hope this gonna work well for my purple ombre ends!! This series of hair care is supposed to resist loss of colours and perms with each wash so that fresh colour and perms would now last longer!


This is a picture of my hair taken on DAY 1. My purple had kinda faded into magenta/pink and hair texture still looks smooth (Thanks to Shunji Matsuo ARIMINO Caretrico Treatment!!). I will be updating again on my progress on DAY 7 and DAY 14 to see if these products work for me ^^ Stay tuned!!

They served the food on a stick skewer ranging from cuttlefish to fishball, various meats and even fried food. You can then dip these food into your hotpot to cook it!

MALAYSIAN LOCAL DELIGHTS 224 Tanjong Katong Road


- - - Hope you did notice that I had pretty hair curls on my hair on the previous few photos!! Well that's because I headed down to Shunji Matsuo HV prior to that for a hair treatment!!

Met my stylist Hiro and he analysed my hair situation before deciding to do the ARIMINO Caretrico Hair Treatment for me! I had previously bleached my hair ends 3 times for the purple so it was kinda dry! So this 3-step hair treatment will really rectify my hair problem by repairing my hair cuticle and by adding more moisture to my dry hair, making it smooth and silky once again!


Step 1: Involves using the ARIMINO Hair Shampoo!! As always, the hair/head massage is so heavenly that I almost dozed off. Teehee

Step 2: Hiro put the treatment mask on before putting a steamer over my head for 15mins! This helps to open up my hair cuticle for better absorbing/repairing purposes! :D 
Step 3: After rinsing off the treatment mask, the last step was to put on a sealing cream!


AND VIOLA!!

THE RESULTS!! It was SO SOFT AND FLUFFY, not forgetting NICE SMELLING!!! The ends of my hair are also no longer dry and they look so much healthier now!


And yknow having healthy hair is so important because it helps hair styling MUCH easier. Ever since the treatment, I find self-straightening/curling of my hair to an easy peasy task. In the past, my hair would always produce those fizzy sound whenever I'm using the straightener as if it's telling me they are dying. lol




Me can haz healthy and pretty looking hair thanks to Shunji Matsuo HV!! :D
