KL Trip. [Part1]


For those who do not follow my twitter,
I went to KL during the last week of my school holiday.
It was really impromptu, last minute, and haha, haphazard.

We left Singapore on the 13th of April, which was a Tuesday.
And this trip was decided over Facebook, the previous Thursday!
Young, steadfast and adventurous yea!?

These are some "Essentials" that I put together for,
a long coach ride.

I know that the amulet is a little funny.
Despite not being a strong believer of my religion,
I always wear my amulet when going overseas.
You'll never know right?
"Just in case.. "

 Anyway,
I was in such a rush to pack till I missed out quite a couple of important items.
Shades + Earphones.

So much about transferring all the songs into my iPhone.
Hur..

(p.s. The tidbits that Nana chose, (squarish chicken biscult), taste FREAKING BAD!)


Guess what's THAT!?
Haha.
It was damn hilarious.
Both Nana and I was about to have flu.
So we were damn desperate to take in Vitamin C.

You know about those Redox tablet thingie that bubbles when in water?
Yep.
We dared each other to let it bubble in the mouth.
-.-

BECAUSE,
the bottle was filled to the brim,
we can't let it bubble.

NOT because we are childish.


The bus came to a pitstop at this place (idk where).
All the fishes in the pond/pool thing are asleep.
MOTIONLESS, damn cool.

Nana and I was so KUKU that we didn't get to change any ringgit for the trip.
And so, we had just 3RM to spend in this eating place.
SAD. =(
So I seek comfort from my Oreo.


We reached our destination at 6am!
I was sooo in love with WiFi@McD!
Haha.
I twittered/Facebooked much.


After having McDonald's breakfast,
we hike our way to our hostel.

Both Nana and I agree that the best person to ask directions from is,
McDonald's delivery man.
Reason being,
they will definitely know the location,
and since they are at work, there's lesser chance that they will follow us.
^^ Smarty-pie!

And soo,
Reggae House 2!

We are soooo proud of ourselves.
Both of us are super bad with directions.
All friends should know. -.-;;


Alright.
Stick around for the subsequent entries!

FAQ - Why Honeyhoneybakedham?


I am going to start this FAQ series on my blog.
SO PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS ALRIGHT!?


Why Honeyhoneybakedham?


Heh. What does Honeyhoneybakedham got to do with Jocelyn Kau eh?
Well, actually, it's pretty straightforward.

I love eating ham.
And I like my ham sweet. =]
Apple cider ham taste fake, picnic and breakfast ham taste salty.
And I don't know about any other ham.
So, TADAH, honeybakedham. =)

When I first started this blog few years back,
I was thinking that having my blog address with my name sounds damn lame.
"KAU"

And having "love", "luv", "girl", "gal", "hearts" sounds tooooo girly to be me.
But I was rather girly then, as compared to now.
So, HONEY was good!

If you gna ask what's with the extra honey eh?
Simply because "honeybakedham" was taken in blogspot already. SOB.

Ahwells, the extra sweetness is good for a boyish me.

Step by step guide : Hair.


This is a simple guide about how I manage my hair.
Might not be 100% "right", but this is how I do my hair.
Feel free to share how you manage your hair,
or ask any questions on the commenting box below.


Select the right type of shampoo for your hair.
Since my hair is "extremely coloured",
I use hair products that target on coloured hair.

I am using LO'real Professionnel's Vitamino Colour range.



Hair treatment mask.
If you feel that your hair needs the extra moisture/protection,
my tip is that you can substitute conditioner with mask.



Wrap your hair with a small towel,
and allow your hair to absorb the nutrients from the mask.
The idea of wrapping your hair with a towel as to leaving it in the open is,
to trap the heat within.
 The heat will aid in the absorption of the nutrients into the hair cuticle.

Leave it on for a minimum of 15mins.
You can do your nails/epilate your underarms/trim your brows..
as you do your hair mask.
(15-30mins beauty fix!)



Wash the mask off using cold water,
to "lock in" whatever nutrients that was absorbed.
Then, towel dry your hair.



After towel-drying your hair,
apply serum/leave on conditioner/smoothing cream to your hair.
I am using the serum/smoothing cream from LO'real Professionnel.
 2-3 pumps would be enough (IMO).

What I do is that,
I section my hair into two sides, left and right.
1 pump of product on each side.
And 1 extra pump to be spread evenly across the top.

Do note to not apply to much product on the top,
as to avoid greasy looking or limp hair.
Furthermore, the newer grown hair shouldn't be as damaged as the ends.



Blow dry your hair with a hairdryer.
It'll be best to use a hairdryer with a narrow nozzle thingie.
The pressed air, together with the downward motion of hair drying,
will give your hair a healthy shine.



Never leave home with limp fringe!
Having the top section of my hair rebonded,
my fringe is damn straight.
A slight curl/wave on the fringe can be achieve by
positioning the straightener like how I am doing the above picture.

(Your hair that is after the straightener should look like "/" from the side.
I.e. It should look like a square root w/o the tail.
Note to not rest the straightener at one position for too long!
Drag forward at a constant speed.)
If you don't have naturally tame fringe,
you can first straighten it the usual way.
Then, use the method mentioned above.


And the last step is to accessorize accordingly.
=)



Tip: You can use the "bending straightener" method (from step7),
to lightly curl the top sides, and ends of the hair 
to create a natural texture/movement to your hair.

Advertorial - Salon VIM


Hey people!
Today, I am introducing Salon VIM to you.
I've been frequenting Salon VIM lately.
And I must say, 
their services are two thumbs up.



As y'all know,
this hair of mine went through several transformations in the past 3 month.
(5 sessions of hairdyes for work as well as vanity)


And so, I was called up by Salon VIM for a sponsorship. ^^
Haircut + Signature hair treatment. 

 
4 steps to b e a u t i f u l h a i r. =)


The above is Step 2 of the Signature Hair Treatment.
This "ALIENIC" thingie is actually for better absorption of the product.


Oh, did I not mention,
Salon VIM holds a huge range of L'Oreal Professionnel products.



Other than the sponsored cut+treatment,
the people from VIM gave me hair care products for home use!!
A w e s o m e.



I am going to show y'all my basic hair care tutorial in the next entry,
using these wonderful products.


The end results from that day. =)


---


Anyway, I went back to VIM again,
to get my hair straightened + dyed.


YOU PEOPLE MAY CALL ME A VAIN POT.



I look damn Jap yea? Highlights, updo and all.
Anyway,
really got to share this with y'all.


I had a very bad haircut previously, over at some chapalang salon.
And my hair was ultra unmanagable.
Soo, my stylist, Titus over at VIM came up with an awesome solution.


He decided to straighten/reborn, only the top, short part of my hair.
This was suchhh a smart idea I swear.
It looks neat, tame, but not dead flat.



Matte brown hair. ♥
Thanks to LO'real Professionnels.


Lastly,
some goody for you peeps!


 
Just be reminded that 
you got to mention about this privilege to the stylist
before consultation!
