Most of you would know that i’m overseas in Singapore until the 28th November. The flight here was 7.5 hours, long long hours, managed to keep busy by listening to Twilight Audiobook and then watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (haven’t watched it before) it was fantastic, no disappointments. And also watched Disney’s Up. Very comical and cute.

We’re staying with Steven’s aunt in an apartment at Tiong Bahru.
The first day in Singapore, we went via MRT (very impressive public transportation compared to Melbourne) to look for Far East Plaza where i had a hair and lash appointment with Milly’s. The walk was long and i can’t believe how humid the weather was or is. I’m not used to this kind of weather but i’m glad indoors were aircon. And i am also amazed at how many shopping centres there is here, it’s insane. 1 and 1/2 hours later we thought we found the plaza, only to be told it was the Far East Shopping Centre and walked around looking for the plaza. When we finally got there, the map of stores didn’t list Milly’s and Steven’s brothers were getting restless. LOL. We walked around and asked a few store staff where Milly’s store was and they shrugged and said they didn’t know where it was. Either the store wasn’t there or they couldn’t understand me! Argh! The boys pushed me to go a different hair salon, and i gave in. I went to Vain Beauty. I was very hesitant as i had done some research prior, and there weren’t very good feedbacks for Vain Beauty. Anyway, went in and told them my budget was 200, there was only one staff that could speak English. Broken English, i didn’t bother to return small talk as i couldn’t understand her accent and “words”. She put 360 strands on my hair and i just went along with it. My hair is very thin so i liked the feel of having thick hair. It’s $1 per strand and this salon is making huge money. Rip off. I only say that because PER strand there’s about 10 pieces of human hair. I’ve done alot of hair extensions before and let me tell you, the strand back in Melb is way thicker. So what the girl did was doing 4-5 strands/bundles per attachment. And the thickness of 4-5bundles is what you would get at home that is only 1 bundle.. if that makes sense. My hair looked hot so i had no complaints, besides the cheatness of the strands. She only took 1 1/2 hours to do my hair, very quick. After that, went and got my lashes done, it looks sooooooooo hot. They do strips, instead of per lash and it’s so much better, it’s like putting the temporary strip lashes on but these lasts for 1 month.

The next day was his cousin’s wedding, the reception was different. They had a lot of singing in the beginning and one was about how they love Jesus. The food was delicious, but not enough for me
Here’s a picture of Steven and I. I love it, the background is the stage where the Bride & Groom had their vowels.

Day 3, Steven and i went to Bugis, and i bought a couple of clothes for my sisters. Bugis market is huge. Steven said you can bargain with them but when they suss you out and know that you’re tourist, they take advantage of you. Bad Singaporeans!!
