TGIF PEOPLE!
Here's a shot of the LoveBonito outdoor shoot we had last week under the scorching sun with the LB team and Nicole,
and boy, the pictures look like a breeze!
You wouldnt even imagine how many pails of perspiration we had during that whole few hours there, seriously.
Not to mention, i love these dresses! Every single of them, and do watch out for them because they are coming!!
Nicolethen, nicole whom i named her nicnic, and thank goodness for her being an angel with us too,
is absolutely passionate about photography,
and of course with passion, comes passionate pictures too.
And I have been busy busy for the whole of this week,
and yes, the reason is that I have embarked on my FIRST NEW JOB in a foreign bank!
It's in a different area of work, another area that I didn't expect to land myself in,
but so far so good, have been doing some learning these few days at work.
Good to be based back in One Raffles Quay for now, and hopefully the location doesn't move!
I have to add on that the world is also pretty small, bumped into a few familiar faces at the same level which made work better.
Here's a shot of the team mates!
Drew (in the middle) the Caucasian, who is from the New York Team, and the rest including myself is in the Hong Kong Team.
Terence (the one beside drew), is the one looking after the team and from left to right: Grace, Christina, Shruti, Hwee Ling, May, Zhen Yang, myself and Mark.
Before the work official started,
I made a visit to the salon again to get my hair dyed.
I suppose i can make it to the list of the TOP 10 FREQUENT HAIR DYERS PEOPLE,
and I just can't endure the new grown roots that has a different colour, making it seemingly untidy.
yes, maybe i might just go back to the black brown one day and stop adding chemicals to the hair before it all falls off.
And the great thing about visiting my dedicated hair stylist at is that he totally knows the problems i face of my hair,
or rather, the exact condition of it that I got a chance to experience or know the many different kinds of treatment!
The previous soft rebonding + treatment (oh there's a name for it, but just tell john u would like to try this combi that i had!) is going on really well,
and I let it rest for a week before getting this hair dye in fact.
To make the results better and here to stay, he used LOREAL INOA HAIR DYE for this time's colours.
I guess you have seen posters of it, but probably just like me, its look-and-go.
But i came to understand it and brilliant!! its ODOUR-LESS (very true!) and it uses more natural ingredients so its all for the best health of your hair.
Besides that, it is supposed to give you a reflective shiny texture so that your hair looks as good as brand new!
No doubts about that again, I'm loving the colour very much while maintaining the hair texture and soft rebonding effects.
The real colour is darker than the pictures and it does look silky and shiny doesn't it?! <3!!
John Tham.
FInd him (trust him!) or any stylist and mention my blog/reader/friend, and you will get 10% discount on all treatments/services!
love the caarrrlerrrrrrr!!
oh and i love the layers too, i like the ends to be curled in!
looks volumized.
As usual, every time after salon treatments at Salon VIM, i would miss a chance to go upstairs to food republic to have Teppanyaki!
One of my all-time favourites!
it's voted one of the cheapest teppanyaki in town too,
didn't manage to take a picture but it comes in a whole set of : a soup, rice, dory fish, vegs, prawns, and the choice of meat you want (beef, lamb or pork).
One whole set is about $19 in all.
It's delicious, but for better quality teppanyaki yet affordable, i would recommend SAKAE TEPPANYAKI!
And if you are wondering where is my pretty dress from..
* This lime green dress is from The Tinsel Rack, and comes in many yummy pop colours!
And you will love this too,
back to old school- say hello to High waisted jeans!!!

Hi Bea!
Congrats on your new job May I know how did you get the job so fast? You sent in your resume through the bank’s website or though other channel(eg, agency)? Have been hunting for a job some time now and I hope you could share your tips on how you ended with this job. Lastly, what is your position in the bank?
Appreciate your kind response and thank you in advance!
you can either try agencies or directly at their website in fact. but i have to add that the chances of reply are 2/10. so you might have to constantly keep sending im sure it will come to you sooner or later.
I went to salon vim before. It’s really nothing fantastic. The service was bad. the receptionist was very rude. but worst of all, the hair turned out nothing fantastic at all but cost twice the price of other salons who could have done a better job. i actually felt cheated after reading all the sponsored bloggers raving about that salon..
hi dear, disregard the sponsorship, i personally enjoyed the services by my stylist John. im not very sure what had happened exactly, but perhaps if you see some treatments or services that you would want to try, you can find john or gary, im sure they will provide you with very personable services!
hi there!
