    Passed by this shop today and couldn't resist the shoes just screaming for attention...

    Anyway, to the cut the long story short, I have been dying for a pair of Dr. Martens for the longest time, and today a very nice sales person was actually very helpful and very friendly in helping me find the perfect cut and the perfect fit.

    He advised me on which cut suited Asian legs best (I am quite short mah...) and brought out different designs, cuts and colours for me to choose from. How could I possibly resist?

    So there I was, trying out the high cut, pure white Dr. Martens, almost prancing in front of the mirror, listening to him telling me how to take care of the leather, how to clean it, how to best season it and maintain the colour etc... I must say he was very helpful and very nice about it all.

    Excited as I was, I decided to wear it on the spot. Not only did he help me pack my shoes, he also helped me lace up my brand new Dr. Martens. Don't underestimate these leather boots, they are damn hard to lace up for the first time, since the leather is stiff!

    Very impressed with the service there, though I forgot to ask him his name. Pity!

         Moonlight Okos
      Chanced upon this place two weeks ago with the bf. This little restaurant is tucked away in a tiny corner of the 7th floor, of the big vertical maze that is Orchard Central. I confess I knew nothing about this restaurant although it has several branches around Singapore.

      Also, I knew nothing about its signature dish, the Okos. Until now, I have no idea what it stands for. However, the Moonlight Okos that I ordered was served in a big platter with a flattened metal spatula not unlike those of a teppanyaki chef.

      It comprised of pork, squid, prawns and cabbage packed in a flour / egg mixture and garnished with lots of fish flakes and a sunny-side-up egg, all drenched in teppanyaki sauce and mayonnaise. To me, it tasted like one big takoyaki, but with more flavour. Quite tasty and very, very filling. 3/5 stars I would say.

      The boyfriend ordered a Pork Soba Omu, which I thought was much tastier than my Moonlight Okos. The bacon strip is dipped in teppanyaki sauce, rolled up, then fried with the noodles, making it much more flavorful. All of this was wrapped in one big omelette, with lots of sauce on top. Sinful as hell but I love it! 4/5 stars.

      Didn't manage to try their desserts but they sure do look interesting on the menu.

      The service was only average as the place is new. The waitresses would hover around tables attempting to look for a table number before doubling back to check the kitchen orders again, all the while carrying the food around. Could do with a bit of improvement there.

        I decided on Visage over places like Striped and Honeypot for my virgin brazilian waxing session because they have been around much longer than the others.

        It seems like a strange reason, but I'm the type who believes in well-established brands (:

        They leave you alone to get washed up first and even though the towels are in serious need of fabric softeners, I can't complain about the level of hygiene. Most important factor when it comes to waxing!

        I have to say I'm pretty satisfied by the service there. Firstly, the staff are friendly. My waxer, (is that how you address them?) Evonne, is really professional and puts me at ease before getting down to business, so it's less awkward.

        She explains exactly what she's going to do and warns you about the pain factor. Also, she applies just enough pressure on the skin right after the ripping to lessen the pain. This is done in quite a short time too.

        But trust me when I say waxing is painful. I thought my navel piercing was bad, but this is at least 1000 times worse! Well worth it, though. The smoothness is great!

        It's a bit pricey but I like it that it's in a less popular part of Orchard so there's a BIT more privacy... I think.

        Would definitely go back again!

          I usually go there for facial threading - this place is really good. They are very quick and professional when it comes to threading.

          The end result? My eyebrows are nicely shaped and complement my eye shape. Best of all, they give you a disposable wet towel straight from the fridge after threading to reduce the redness and relieve the pain.

          Recently, I decided to try their eyelash perming service. I've got to admit I was sorely disappointed by it - the girl doesn't seem to know what to do to hold my eyelashes in place before applying the perm lotion!

          I have very Asian eyes - small, slitty, mono-lidded with poker-straight lashes and she had to try to re-clamp it with an oversized eyelash-curler-looking device. She even tried forcing and I almost got a bruised eye!

          After the entire ordeal, my eyelashes were only permed slightly at the very tip. Quite a waste of my time (45 mins!) and money I must say.

          I only recommend you try their threading - its good, fast and cheap. The rest? Well you're definitely better off heading to a good beauty salon for that.
