Vast Hair

I decided to go for a haircut after a long long while and I chanced upon the hair salon Vast Hair through a blog. Honestly, I always have a hard time deciding which hair salon to go to because I am cautious in handing the fate of my hair to another person. I have terrible experience before and I do not want to go through that again. That is why I visited Vast Hair after seeing positive reviews on it.

I have to say I like the experience there but be prepared to stay there for at least 2 hours for a haircut, treatment and hair wash. This shop was opened for about a month when I visited 2 weeks ago. The interior is brightly lit and it does have the professional hair salon feel. Upon entering, I was greeted by one of their hair stylists. I like the fact that he asked my hair concern and the kind of haircut I am expecting or looking for. From there, he provided suggestions. And... most importantly, I love the current haircut I have now!

That is not just because of the hair cut alone, but also the experience there. Both the hair stylists were friendly and would strike conversations with you. They are also concern whether you are comfortable while waiting for the treatment to be done, like asking if you are ok. I seldom receive this kind of treatment in a hair salon and it is nice to know that your hair is in good hands.

Look for hairdresser who cares about you!

Curbside Cafe & Wine Bar

I am off to the third cafe of the week, indulging while working. I am slowly getting used to the nature of my job where I get to spend time to do the things I like while still working. It is inconvenient for me actually sometimes because I have a laptop which I call a portable desktop. I am very dependent on power source to wherever I go because the laptop battery is spoilt. I cannot blame it since it has accompanied me since my uni days. There is sentimental value to it. Anyway, this is why I always look for a conducive working place with both wifi and power plugs. This newly open cafe fits the bill.

Although there is a bit of walking from bouna vista train station, it is worth the walk. Good food, great service! There is something funky about the place and the staff. 

I ordered a plate of Cod Fish and Chips. Unlike most deep fried fish fillet, it is not covered by thick layer of flour and you can see the freshness the moment you slice it. You do not even have to use a knife to cut it into bite size. The green paste (made from vegetables I suspect) on the plate goes really really well with the fish. It lifts the tastes of the fish.

d'Good Cafe

Here I am, in the cafe with rain pelting down outside. How nice it is to be sipping a cup of This is the third time I am here and I think I will come back here again. It is a nice place to chill out with friends but you will see many students studying here. It is no surprise because the place is conducive for study with the right ambience - not too noisy (although it can get a little loud between 3-4pm). There is ample power source with good wifi, just appropriate for people who wish to use their laptops or charge their phone.

There are 2 levels to this cafe and the thing I love about this place - white interior! It makes the place bright and comfortable. There are sofas and even swings on the lower level. On the upper floor, there are toddler-tall teddy bears and beany cushions. If you prefer enjoying a cuppa under the sun, they have seats outside too which makes you feel like you are in a mini garden. I like the fact they have an eye for details in the decorations. There is even a tiny corner with small table and chairs, just like a kids corner. Ooohh.. I so like the place.

As I am not a fan of coffee, I decided to have tea. I thought lavender with my usual favourite Earl Grey Tea sounds interesting and so I place my pick on that. And... I fall in love with it immediately! It is not the usual clear cup of tea; it is frothy and has a milky texture to it (not too thick). Earl Grey Tea with a tinge of lavender taste to it. You can even smell the lavender fragrance on the froth. Surprisingly, it has a kind of calming effect on me. I was stressed out early this morning because of the number of tasks to complete for work but not anymore now. :) Nice drink!

Earl - Lavender Tea

I had Apple Crumble. I am glad it comes in a size a little bigger than cupcake because it fits the room in my tummy just right. The usual Apple Crumble I had before has a crispy crumb top and I am actually looking for it while eating. It kind of disappoint me, perhaps because of the vanilla gelato that tops it. But it is still a decent enough pie.
