Country within a country (Part 1): Monaco

We first went up to Monaco-ville, the old town of Monaco, and grab some food first.. Haha.. We were hungry.. We trusted Tripadvisor and seached for No.1 in Monaco Ville..


The price was a bit on the expensive end.. This was the lunch price, dinner's more expensive..


Hubby ordered the Branda Cujun De Stockfish A Ma Fason.. Dunno what that means, we only know the word 'fish'. We had expected it to be a fillet of grilled fish but it came in this form. The fish was mixed with mash potatoes.. It was just normal. Given the price we paid, we thought it was overpriced.

I ordered Coutre Filet De Boeuf "Black Angus" Rucola/Parmesan Again, I dunno what that means but it's black angus so I ordered. Hahaha.. And it was pretty good! The beef was tender and yummy, served with the salad and cheese, I felt not so sinful eating it.. Hahaha..


After having lunch, it's time to walk around Monaco-ville and we arrived at a place where we could enjoy the views of Monaco bay.






Palace of the prince of Monaco

Some church we saw on Monaco..


Musee Oceanographique.. It's listed as No.1 things to do in Monaco-ville on Tripadvisor and this was the long queue outside this attraction.. Seriously, this is the first time I saw such long queue for a museum or aquarium.. So we thought, it must be amazing!


Erm.. turned out there's nothing much inside. Showed some bones of oceanic animals.. Can't really remember what other things was exhibited as it was too crowded and we didn't enjoy ourselves there.

This was one of the more interesting facts I saw there. It showed how many people each type of animal/insect killed per year in the world. So it's telling us that sharks are the least harmful among these and I think the message that they wanna bring across is to stop killing/hunting sharks?

So many people in the aquarium.. Block our view..

Again.. so crowded..

We were quite bored there as it's no difference from any other aquariums we went before except for the exhibits of the bones of the ocean animals. But there's really good views from the Musee Oceanographic as it's built on the cliff of Monaco Bay.



Done with Monaco-ville and we proceed to Monte-Carlo, the Atas shopping area, casinos and a real exhibit of luxury cars.. I guess we're more interested in this than the Ocean museum..

No, we dunno that guy in the picture.. Just some random guy.. 抢镜头..

Cool number plate


This convertible Rolls Royce was openly showcased outside Hotel De Paris.. Okay.. "Shut up and take my money!" 



 Porsche side by side


Convertible Bentley

Mercedes Benz is small fry here..

We didn't go into the casinos because we were dressed quite 'lok kok' with slippers, shorts and top. Other than these luxury cars, we saw many rich people in Monte Carlo. I think they were rich people lah, because I saw them buy Chanel and Hermes bags without considering. They just grab and walk to the counter, machiam shopping at Pasar Malam. -.-

Okay, I totally get this..

The Salon I Keep Returning to: Studio M KSL Hair Salon @ KSL City Mall

It's been a while since I crossed the straits to pamper myself at JB. Whenever I'm in JB and want to change my hairstyle or give my hair some well deserved treatment, Studio M is always the first salon that comes to my mind. I have visited Studio M @ KSL City Mall (previously known as Govin Hair) many times as I love the great service and friendly staff there. Price wise, it's definitely super value as you are getting top notch service and best quality products such as Mucota or Oway on your precious hair. As a person who always want good deals, I have researched before and hey, there's no way I can find that kind of price for treatments, perm, rebond or hair color using top quality products such as Mucota or Oway in Singapore! Look at my lifeless hair with the uneven hair color. It's time to go Studio M hair salon to pamper my hair and give it a new look! Studio M is located at ground floor of KSL City Mall, beside Sasa. My hair stylist was Ben. ...

Mucota Omega Rebonding at Focus Hairdressing

I initially wanted to try out volume rebonding at some Korean hair salon in Singapore but the price was really expensive, around $350 for my hair length and I was told that the effect was just like soft rebonding, except that it gives the hair more volume. For my hair length, the hairstylist usually will recommend me to perm the ends to have the romantic Korean feel. But I know I will be lazy to maintain the curls. So I dropped the idea.  I saw many good reviews online for mucota rebonding at Focus Hairdressing. It's located at Cuppage Plaza Level 1 which is just  5 mins walk from Somerset MRT. I have previously tried mucota hair treatment at Creme Hairdressing  (Chinatown Point outlet) and I really love the treatment effect. You can read about my mucota treatment experience at Creme Hairdressing . So i decided to try out Mucota rebonding. I originally planned to take the mucota dyna hair rebonding since it is the cheapest kind of mucota rebonding that Focus of...

Tokio Inkarami hair treatment experience at BumpRV

I had bleached my hair in Oct last year which caused my hair to be very dry and brittle. I dunno what's wrong with me, I damaged my hair further when I perm it in Mar this year. After the bleach and perm, my hair was very rough and it tangles when I comb. I urgently need some really good and effective treatment to save my hair! I researched online and saw people raving about Tokio Inkarami treatment. Through the app Jpassport, I saw some Japanese salon having 20% discount. I chose BumpRV based on the good reviews and the reasonable price. The Tokio Inkarami treatment was priced at $160, after 20% discount, it's only $130+ (inclusive of GST). I made an appointment immediately. My hair stylist was Konomi, although  her english was limited, she was polite and all smiley, which made my visit a pleasant one. Worried about communication? There's a receptionist who can help with the translation. When Konomi saw my hair, she knew my hair was badly damaged and assured me that ...
