Satisfy your Korean BBQ Craving with Kko Chi Bar
Author: Alex Chua There’s nothing more involved, more satisfying in gastronomic experience than barbecuing your own meat. Conveniently located at Tanjong Pagar, Kko Chi Bar is a Korean BBQ joint where you’ll be able to enjoy the moment with you friends and loved ones in a comforting, casual environment. Fresh vegetables, marinated meat and seafood on sticks are brought to the table for your cooking pleasure. And its automatic rotation mechanism makes the process much easier, the meat more evenly-grilled and the experience almost zen-like. Who knows grilling can be so meditative? We ordered the Skewer Special (set A for 2 pax at $45) and it is more than enough…

When I was in Korea last summer, I came across CNP Laboratory as it was one of the hottest brands there.

World’s largest Etude House Opening
I feel pampered around my family because they always give in to me and provide me with whatever I want (literally). Even J thought that I am really spoilt because I have no bills to pay even though I am already at THIS age and working for 1.5 year already. But no one has ever treated me like a princess in the disney stories. No one until that night…. I stepped into a land of K-Beauty with a little fusion of Disney Princesses collection make up. It was very pink and I thought I was in some fairytale or Korea. Yes, that is the world’s largest Etude House Flagship Store…

Change of hair color and am satisfied!
Went back to SalonB for a change of hair color because I can no longer stand my ugly hair. I was very confident that SalonB would give me exactly what I want. C from DRx advised me not to colour my hair unless they leave the scalp untouched. I told Oscar that and he assured me that the scalp would be safe. Here are some photos of my old and gone hair colour. Black on top and brown streaks at the bottom. Too untidy. I was deciding on an ashy shade of brown but not the too extreme kind because I don’t want to end up with very dry hair…
