KL Fright Nights (2024)

It's almost Halloween and today i'll be writing about what I did last year!

Randomly saw a video on Fright Nights in KL and what a coincidence - we were going to KL during the Fright Night dates. It was my husband's birthday trip and i added the event to our to do list. The ticket was not cheap tho, we had to get the express as it was recommended as i read through the reviews. Ticket price was around BND70 each i think for express pass

 

 

upon waiting for the entrance to open, there was already a long queue. So, we are glad we got the express pass where we get to enter 30 minutes early! The event was starts at 7pm, so the vibe there was spot on. There were a lot of cool ghost theme decorations! We went to all of the haunted houses and had a great time. We went in with a group of other people and it was mostly jump scares. This was our first time btw attending this, so everything was a great experience. The express pass was worth it, the que to all rides/haunted houses was packed. With express pass, you can even enter multiple times while others still on que haha.

BTW, i hate scary rides. I am afraid of heights. But my husband wants to ride one and since it was his birthday, i forced myself to get on one. And i instantly regretted it. I didnt expect the ride to turn upside down, i got a migraine as soon as i got off. I got very lightheaded and nauseous, we had to sit down and rest. I was being a party-pooper, we even considered to exit the park early. Haha. But i ate Panadol and just went ahead with the rest of the park. Thank god the pill works. We continue strolling down with the ghosts and sometimes i would video call my kids and showed them the ghosts haha.

At the end of the event, there was a show. So everyone crowded in the center and danced to the music. We were sitting by the stairs watching and overwhelmed by the crowd haha. It was pretty entertaining watching the ghosts danced together.

Overall, this event was definitely memorable. The ghosts was spot on and didnt even broke character. The decorations was also really cool - matched the vibe. I also saw on tiktok that even the toilets are scary haha. This event is held every year during october and i'd go again if i happen to be in KL :) good to go with friends, and even dates!

Got a Balayage - but then I cut it off!

I had my hair bleached - for the first time - few years ago. And im here to talk about it. Professional hair dyes services are not cheap. In brunei, maybe its between the range of $90 - $400? I have long hair and it is expected to be expensive. As usual, the typical Bruneian me went to cross the border to get my hair dyed. I've been eyeing on this salon in KK, not too cheap and not too expensive.

I was interested in getting a balayage as i dont want an awkward root growth? My hair grows pretty fast, so i want something that will blend beautifully if my black hair starts to grow. We head into the saloon and gave him inspiration picture.

I wanted it to be like this.

I cant remember how long we were there, probably around 2-3 hours? But here's the result!



Honestly speaking, I did not like it - a lot. I feel like it is too 'golden' for me. it looks more golden in person. Not blaming them, I understand to get the color i wanted, i needed to do more sessions to get it toned. But my hair was already damaged from the bleach 🥺

I only kept the hair for a month maybe. Because i hated how damaged my hair turned out, i cut my hair short. The color still can be seen, but at least i felt more comfortable. From then one, I promise to not do it again. at least professionally. because i think my hair prefers box dye. i've box dyed before and i still do now, and my hair was never as damaged. i'll share more on this sometime! :)

btw a lot of masked pictures because it was during the covid area!

Dupe of Revlon One Step Hair dryer & Volumizer Brush

For this post, i want to share with you my all time favorite hair tool. The Brush Dryer Styler?


OK, its a dupe of Revlon One Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer. Why i got a dupe?

  1. I got the Revlon one already. I have it shipped here from US (we didnt have it here back then, not sure now) and maybe because of the country voltage... but it suddenly stopped working after few uses 💸
  2. Its cheaper
  3. It works exactly the same
  4. Lasts longer

I purchased this years ago from Lazada and it still works. However, i did not use it as much as i did before. Mainly due to time, laziness and my hairstyle currently. But i promise you will LOVEEEE this if you have layers! When my hair has layers, it looks horrible not styled. So this hair tool definitely level up my hair look.

you can check my video below on how easy it is to use. it does take practice tho, and kind of tiring. but i love how soft and fluffy it makes my hair looks. I would only keep it at 'low' heat to avoid my hair further damaged or to even keep it from being overheated. and do it on around 90% damp hair. btw put it on mute. i filmed this with tiktok and it added the song quite loud haha. 


for those based in Brunei/Malaysia, you can purchase here: https://shopee.com.my/3-in-1-Hair-Dryer-Brush-%E2%80%93-Negative-Ion-Hot-Air-Styler-for-Drying-Straightening-Curling-i.1206023866.43357112931?sp_atk=7c5963c5-610a-49e4-910d-a07ef35e1965&xptdk=7c5963c5-610a-49e4-910d-a07ef35e1965

However if you can find the Revlon one. just get it. they have amazing reviews on Tik Tok. unless you can afford Dyson 😳
