Eat, Eating, Ate at KL

Remember my Goddess DIY-ed her own Galaxy nails for her cousin-in-law's wedding? Here' the post!

The wedding was held at KL, so the whole Koo family including the boyfriends of the 2 sisters went on a road trip to KL. Prepare your tissue. This post is all about good food that will make you drool!

 My Goddess worn her tattered 3/4 jeans - the fake Abercrombie & Fitch one - which she bought like in 2008 during her first overseas trip with the Horny Devil to BKK with her twin Nora and his buddy Kevin. She wore if for a while during her uni days but stopped after a while, thinking the jeans looked too rugged for her. 4 years later, she still could fit in! Phew~

As they went on straight onto the new highway from the Woodlands Checkpoint, their breakfast stop was at one of the Rest & Relax stops.

And if you have driven down the highways before, you would have known that the food there are usually very sucky (except for the one A&W stop!). The stop that they were at had thousands of flies. So many that it just turns your appetite off.

Look at the congregation of flies! Eeew~

In the end, my Goddess ordered only the Beef Dog, which is also very yucky.

The Horny Devil's doesn't look yummy at all too.

How to DIY Galaxy Nails

My Goddess was surfing around on Instagram when she came across someone who had her nails done the 'galaxy' style by her manicurist. It looked really pretty and so intrigued by this, my Goddess decided to surf around to find out if this could be DIY.

And to her surprise, the galaxy nails isn't hard to do at all! It as even easier than ombre nails. So here's sharing with you the simple steps to getting pretty galaxy nails!

Long or Short?

My Goddess' hair is now at a stage of neither long nor short. She's now deciding on whether to leave it long or cut it short.

She likes the versatility of long hair, where you can style it any way you want. And it looks feminine too. At the same time, long hair makes her look older, something she doesn't want. Furthermore she has really thick and unruly hair which is hard to managed.

She also like the chicness of short hair - easy to maintain - fuss free. But there's only so much she can play with for short hair.

Which style should she go for? Can you help my Goddess decide by taking the poll?

Liese Hair Dye + Salon M-i

It's been a while since my Goddess coloured her hair. Her black hair roots have grown out by about 2 inches or so?

In view that the festive period is coming, and that she has a couple of weddings to attend in Nov & Dec, my Goddess decided that it's time to re-colour her hair.

My Goddess first tried Liese last year, and she has never looked back. It is so much cheaper than your salon colour and it takes only 30 minutes to colour as compared to the salon's 3 hours. This is probably her 3rd or 4th box. But instead of her usual Mocha Orange colour, she decided to do a different colour this time round - Chestnut Brown, partly to also commemorate her last few weeks staying in Chestnut with me!

Path to a HDB Tai-tai: Fans & Song Cho

I know I haven't been blogging much about my Goddess and the Horny Devil's home and their renovations. That's not because the reno is done and they have happily shifted in. They are actually far from it!

That's the problem with getting your contacts in for the reno at a friendship price - you can't rush or 'gan' (aka scold) them when things are delayed or not done properly.

They are now at the carpentry stage. The carpenter is their FIL's contact and from Malaysia. And so you can imagine the 'bargain price' that they get for the massive amount of carpentry work. But I'll save this for another post when all the carpentry works are done. Anyway, a 2-weeks job took them almost a month now, either because laminates are OOS, the cupboards not done according to their FIL's design and need rectifications, or the workers need to rush other projects elsewhere in Malaysia.

After a 2-weeks halt and not doing any reno works over the weekend, they finally managed to arrange for something this Sat - the installations of fans.

The Horny Devil is a big fan of ceiling fans as he grew up from a family that uses ceiling fans. To him, ceiling fans create maximum air flow around the house with minimum obstruction as compared to standing fans. But to my Goddess who never grew up with such an item in the house, she views ceiling fans as a visual obstruction to the whole house, making it look smaller.

And so, the two of them compromised - the house will have ceiling fans, but provided the designs are something chosen by my Goddess. And to add on to the problem, their fans need to have lights that match with their intended Scandinavian theme since there isn't much lights in the house, especially in the rooms.

And my Goddess' criteria - white, slim and with simple lights. To try to get cheap and good bargains, they went in to JB to search for the fans. In total, they went in about 3 times to look but my Goddess found nothing that caught her eye. They were either too big for the house, if not too fat and bulky looking. Malaysia is especially popular with KDK fans which according to my Goddess, have a 'fat' neck. Also, they can't customise lights with the fans that have remote control functions.

So in the end, my Goddess combed through Bukit Merah (opposite Queensway Shopping Centre) and almost the whole stretch of Balestier Road in search of the ideal fans. And she found such designs in Crestar and Fanco. And only in Singapore are they able to find such small fans of 42".

And the installations begin!
