I CUT MY OWN HAIR ( EASY RUBBER BAND METHOD )

In hot weather, long hairs can quickly become a mess and my hairs actually looked typically puffy. So I decided to cut my hair because it's getting hard to maintain =(

but first, lemme take a selfie XD

There were some uneven parts of the cut

Tips: all you needs is 2 hair band, a scissor and a comb. Be sure your hair is clean and free of hair spray or gel. Brush your hair until it's free of knots. Flip hair to the front and tie it with a rubber band. Once the rubber band is in position, cut to length you'd like.

Tadaaa!!! I have a bob now!

Yes, my hair was uneven in the back and many people think I'm silly but I don't care. As long as I'm comfortable with it then OK. Well, with the right tools and patience, I believe that you be able to give yourself a decent cut too =) good luck!

Dazzling fireworks countdown @ Taipei 101

Taipei 101 is the iconic the skyscraper in Taiwan’s capital, I heard so much of their amazing fireworks before and finally I got the chance to see it myself. The show was about 6 minutes plus but really spectacular!!!! T.T It made my 2019 New Year Eve the most memorable one in my life. If you stay at Taipei during the New Year Eve, don't miss the chance to watch the magnificent fireworks show in Taipei 101.

Well, the streets are sooooo crowded.  You must get ready for crowds though because hundred thousands of people will be out on that night. But if you want to avoid the crowd lining up in front of Taipei 101, you may consider stay at the 5-stars hotel Grand Hyatt Taipei ( 台北君悦酒店 ). The hotel just located right next to Taipei 101 and has an unobstructed view of Taipei 101.

Another great viewing platform is Elephant Mountain Hiking Trail ( 象山步道 ) which is free and open to all visitors. But the trail can get relatively crowded too. You can  take Taipei MRT ( Xinyi Line ), alight at Xiangshan Station and leave at no. 2 exit. Just ontinue walking alongside the edge of the park, turn left and go straight, You will come across a temple, then you will see the entrance for Xiangshan hiking trail. 

Besides the fireworks, the countdown party feature the on-stage appearance of a lot of celebrities on other side of Taipei 101.

We got a spot in front of Taipei 101 and watched the fireworks bursting from the building. The pictures were blurry as it was raining + plenty of smoke from the fireworks.

Crowds of people heading home after the countdown,  it gets reallyyy crowded at MRT station. Luckily our hotel room just a distance walk from 101 world trade centre =D 

This is my first time seeing such a beautiful firework and I wish this year 2019 will be as dazzling as the fireworks! XOXO

New Year's bucket lists

I haven't made much time for the blog. But I'm back lol. I love to make bucket lists actually because I think it would be fun to come up with a list of activities and goals for the New Year and sum up at the end of the year to see how much did I fulfilled =) Some of my ''goals'' is simple and some is really laughable.

It’s never too late to start planning for bucket list 2018. Just write down what you need to achieve/perform. Most people have the same bucket list like traveling to somewhere, losing weight, achieving the dreams bla bla bla... I encourage you to make a list because It really gives you something to look forward to and accomplish =D HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 XOXO

Monthsary ♥ din din

It is our 23rd monthsary ♥ We went to Pang's cafe located in Gaya street last night for our monthsary celebration.

There is nothing fancy about this restaurant but the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. One of the few restaurants where I can say that the staff is most pleasant and courteous =)

Usually I wouldn't bother to write a review for a place we have only visited once and had only one plate of food but this cafe deserved a plaudit! The spaghetti carbonara is da best we've ever had, creamy but not greasy. It's fattening but who cares when it tastes good? =P

Loved the lamb, can't get the craving out of my mouth *drooling* And the fries!!!! The best I've ever eaten !!!! This was definitely a satisfying meal. We ♥ it not just because the food was good and reasonably priced, but also because of the ambiance, which is family-friendly and welcoming ♥

Little Greece in Bangkok

Santorini Park was the reason which brought me to Hua Hin and yeah...the location may not be so accessible if you are looking for public transport. So if you are travelling with family or friends, I suggest you rent a van or sign a package with a travel agent. The benefit is you just have to limit your visit time and no need worry about the transport. The package for Hua Hin one day trip is 4000baht for 12 hours. An extra charge of 200baht per hour is imposed if you add time. You may contact this person Mr. Roong +6681-493-7824, Email: RoongSAYAM@gmail.com He can be contacted via whatsapp and his English is quite good. 

Ferris Wheel, the landmark of Santorini Park

They separate the water park from the amusement park. Not sure how much was the entrance fee for water park but the entrance fee for main park is 150baht for each person and doesn't include ferris wheel ride nor activities. It wasn't too crowded and we spent approximately 2 hours plus here and had an amazing time exploring the lil streets and shops. It really makes me feel like I'm in Greece lol! Lots of photo opportunities around the park tho! There are some international brand shops ( eg: Converse, Puma, Nike, Adidas etc...) and we bought a couple tee from Marvel shop =D 

We eat every 3-4 hours. p/s: to keep us full, focused, and keep our blood sugar balanced so we have more energy to walk XD The ice cream melts quickly because of the hot weather,

Proudly wearing this shirt and walking around Santorini Park lol

We go there on a weekday so the crowd wasn't that bad but the hot weather really bit unbearable. *Tips : bring sunblock, cap, umbrella or whatever that can shield you from the sun because the weather was extremelyyy hot!!

Swiss She-ep Farm

The Swiss sheep farm opened since 2012 and it is an European style countryside farm with scenic meadows. It is located just opposite the famous Santorini Park. This is one of those trendy with random western cliches places where tourists like to visit. And this place is definitely something everyone must visit when coming to Hua Hin. If you love nature and animals, this will be an awesome place for photo shoot =)  

Ticket price was 120baht/pax including sheep feeding coupon attached below the ticket.

Behind Swiss Sheep Farm is a vv huge mountain.

The sheeps are not free roaming, but are kept behind fences.

One of the sheep jumps out of the fences and I take this opportunity to take photo with the sheep.

Alpaca after being shaved. Cuteness overloaded!!!

Awkward shot.The Alpca = total size of me lol

There is a small alpaca barn. The alpacas are kept in an air-conditional environment that requires additional fee 100Baht for entrance. Inside the room has a strong and unpleasant smell but who can resists the cuteness of the animals. kan kan kan? The alpacas are so tough until I drop the plate when feeding them because they eat vvv fast and aggressively. There do have bunnies, donkeys, roosters etc. Towards the exit, there are few amusement park rides and a sheep-themed gift shop. Though lots of photo opportunities around the farm but we left the farm after an hour plus. Overall, the place was great for photo opportunity and ample space for kids to run around =)
