R.O.T.D Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Intensive Hair Mask

Is been a year I have not trim my hair, I want to kept it long and create more hairstyle. I don't have lot of money to constant going saloon to get hair treatment, but ironing and blow drying my hair do damage my hair a lot. During my trip to Thailand, I saw Essential Damage Care products are selling at Watsons, there are Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Intensive Hair Mask and Essential Damage Care Rich Premier Intensive Hair Mask. I pick Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Intensive Hair Mask because I personally prefer the scent.  












The label state Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Intensive Hair Mask by KAO contains 3x more High Purity Honey and Milk Protein to protect and strengthen.Shea Butter repairs and moisturizes.Gives limp and flat hair a light and bouncy feel. The Essential Damage Care series are all about repair damage untill the last 15cm of our hair.

It is truly not easy to take care extremely long hair, who doesn't want a super luscious healthy long hair?! I know I need it!

It is pretty simply to use it, after done shampooing hair then just apply the hair mask on my hair ends (because I have oily hair problem so I do not apply all over my hair), I give it a 5-10mins to nourish my hair and rinse it off thoroughly. Personally I love the result, it smooth out my damage hair and left with a fruity scents. The texture of the product is buttery it is easily for me to apply on hair it won't leak all over the place. I used it twice a week for better result.

Price: 170baht (around RM17)
Will I purchase it again? Yes. It is affordable and it really work for me. I have no idea has it launch in Malaysia yet but i hope it do. If I saw any outlet selling I will update you guys. Thanks for reading this.

Autumn in LONDON {Pt.1}

My Summer/Autumn vacation in the UK state 2010, it was crazy, excited, awesome and memorable.

It really took me a long time to write about my trip because I have no time & space to instant update my journey into my blog since I kept going on the road trip. I had been to a lot of places in the UK, each places had lock in to my mind.

I might start from London, since it was the capital of England & the UK. We stayed at the YHA London central for 2 nights, it was the most expensive hostel we ever stayed during my visit to UK. Since the family suite is all fully booked, me and my boyfriend had to stay separate dorm because they had divided male and female dorm. It was my first time staying with strangers, there are 6 girls (included myself) staying in one dorm room equipped with bunk bed, the toilet and bathroom are public share outside our room. There are lockers in our room but we have to prepare our own locks or purchase it at the reception counter. I was not really getting use to sleeping with strangers in the same room, but most of the time the other girls are out partying and I'm already sleeping in my bed. Sharing room with others I have to be extremely quiet when getting down from my bed(I slept at the upper bed), I have to open the locker quietly to get my stuff and prepare going out. Most of them are still asleep when I woke up, i guess they really party hard every night. The first night was tough for me, but second night I had get use to it. The hostel have Self-Catering Kitchen, if you want to save money on meal do cook your own meals. Supermarket was near by the hostel, it was convenient for us to shop for grocery. The hostel have laundry room, if you want to wash your clothing do exchange token at the reception for the washing machine and dryer. 

First Day, We visited the Madam Tussauds Museum.

Sawadeeka Haad Yai

It was CNY of 2011, and was the yearly family holiday trip to Haad Yai!

 Early in the morning queue for passing through Thailand Boarder.

Dim Sum for breakfast. In thailand, their dim sum is not like our ordinary dim sum portion, is in small portion and it's only cost 10baht+(RM1+) per basket. The dim sum is totally different with our M'sia's dim sum, variety topping for the dim sum and their freshly made pork+shrimp meat at the bottom.

For that portion of dim sum, we(11 persons) had ate 61 basket of dim sum. 

Personally I really like their porridge, they add half boiled egg on top of it make the porridge taste delightful. 

Our accommodation is at  B.P Grand Suite Hotel(Songkhla). The hotel is in modern style, the room is clean and the bathroom have bathtub and stand bath also equip with hair dryer(the motor is not powerful so it take a little longer time to dry your hair). LCD TV with variety channels.And the rate is really low RM190per night (exclude breakfast) even for peak season they don't charge over the top price on the room rates. Their receptionist is friendly and helpful too. The hotel is just 5mins walking distance to the city center.

 Near by the hotel, there are massage center and hawker stall.The hawker stall that along the street sell really delicious Braised Pork Leg rice, if you are traveling to Haad Yai you got to try this dish, most of the restaurant sell Braised Pork Leg rice.

To fulfill our sweet tooth we dine in the Swensens cafe. 

We order the famous Earth Quack. My favorite flavor is the Sticky Chewy Chocolate. With 8 scoops of your own choice, it is only cost 289baht!  The Swensen's cafe is located in the Lee Garden shopping complex.

Coconut's ice cream is a must try dessert when you are in Thailand, fill with nuts and sticky rice- 20baht per cup. I Love their coconut's ice cream very much! Another dessert you have to try is their mango or durian sticky rice. The best mango rice is the stall infront of Lee Garden hotel during night market.

Fried bird is one of thai's snack food. It taste something like chicken.

After a long day walk and shopping, I need some foot massage! 250baht for 1hr session.(Average pricing)

If you want to shop for cheap clothings, shoes, bags and foods you can visit the Municipal Hat Yai Market, remember to bargain before buying. The seller will offer high price but you can bargain with your own price. Shirt and pants can go as low as 180baht. All the stall offer different prices so survey around before purchasing!

Duk-Duk is the most convenient transport traveling within Haad Yai, you can bargain the fare if there are more peoples taking the ride together. Normally they charge 20baht per way.

The city center have few shopping complex around- 

• Odeon shopping center, where you can purchase low price personal use item on the top floor supermarket.

• Central shopping center, is consider a higher class shopping. With international brands beauty counter on the ground floor, upper floors are selling female and male apparel. If you are a hello kitty fan you can purchase hello kitty merchandise at their top floor. 

• Lee garden shopping complex similar with Sungei Wang.

 Snacks that I bought at the Municipal Hat Yai Market, dry longan (170baht), dry mango, seaweed snack (180baht for 6packs)

At the last day of our trip, we dine at the local famous restaurant Kan Eng, the food is good and the price is afforable. Ask any Duk-Duk driver they will know the location.

*Kerabu Chicken Feet*

Very spicy dishes that I have no idea what name is it.

I try to snap a quick photo of this dish but i'm not fast enough that someone had eat it. It is simply delicious is fry crab meat.

That's all about my holiday at Haad Yai, Thailand.

Wishing everyone Happy Bunny Year! May all of you have a prosperous year!
