Let's “Lim" Kopi for a Cause!

This is the third year Toast Box is collaborating with ABLE* (Abilities beyond Limitations and Expectations) Singapore to raise funds for the physically challenged.

*ABLE is a charity organization that endeavors to inject a sense of independence and empowerment to the physically challenged community, allowing them to be reintegrated into the main stream society. 

The "Lim" Kopi for a Cause! campaign runs till 31 May 2013, which aims to raise S$25,000.

A charity drive featuring the cast of Ah Boys To Men – Tosh Zhang, Noah Yap and Maxi Lim, was held at Toast Box (Bugis Junction) to boost awareness and raise funds. All proceeds collected during the 2-hr charity drive goes directly to ABLE.


At this charity drive, the senior management members from Toast Box and ABLE contributed by helping to serve the customers for this good cause.

Let's “Lim" Kopi for a Cause!

You know I love my kopi ♥

You can "Lim" Kopi for a Cause! while enjoying Toast Box’s new Baguette series like the Curry Chicken with Baguette Set ($6.70) or Peanut Butter/Traditional Kaya Baguette Set ($5.40). With every set sold, 30 cents will go to ABLE.

For each Toast Box Coffee Brew Set ($25) sold, $2 will be donated to ABLE.




These baguette (slices) are super tasty... crispy on the outside, soft & fluffy on the inside! You can choose from your favorite topping, either peanut butter or traditional kaya. Yummilicious~!


I've always been a big fan of their curry chicken! Their curry is fragrant and has a spicy kick. What's not to love? And, it pairs really well with the baguette slices!


I highly recommend their ice cream dessert esp. the peanut butter one! :d~

Hello, ah boys!

Maxi, making kopi using the coffee brew set...

TOSH... SOOO C-U-T-E!!

They managed to sell 45 coffee brew sets! *clap-clap*

Quite a number of fans came down to support them!

Dip Dye Short Hair

It was 6 weeks of crazy attention-seeking blue hair. Though the royal blue (hair color) had faded to a much lighter hue, people still have nothing but compliments for my unique hair color. 


As much as I love the blues, it was time to say goodbye...

BYE-BYEEE~


And so, here's how my faded blue hair looks... with the black roots showing. It seemed that my hair is not growing out fast yea? Hmm...

***image credits to forums.allkpop.com***

Anyway, I showed Chisato the hair color I wanted (not the hairstyle).

I am now trying my best to grow out my fringe and hair. That's why I have not had my hair cut for close to 4 months already.


To achieve my desired ash brown color, I had to go through one-time bleaching to get rid of the blue dye.


After the bleaching, the blue part became light pastel green and the purple streaks became neon pink! What a funky combination! I was really fascinated when I saw this interim hair color mix. Nice right? heehee~ :P

Chisato and Alice analyzing my hair...

They did the dip dye part (indigo) first...


... then the base (ash brown). Ooo... looks like squid ink pasta? :X


After 3 hours, here's my dip dye hair color (dark ash brown + indigo)! I was really happy with the results... see my satisfied face :P

Well, my base hair color was quite dark, but not black. Any lighter, the color would turn out weird due to my previous blue hair. I was told that after few times of shampooing, my hair color will gradually fade to a lighter shade of ash brown. It has been almost 2 weeks since I did my hair color. Now, my hair looks something like Alice's! Nice right?! 

I will like to take this opportunity to thank these two lovely ladies (Chisato & Alice) for creating the dip dye effect I want! Thank you so much ♥


Here's a closer look at my dip dye hair color. 


If you wanna have fun colors in a subtler way, you can do something like mine (:


Lovin' this hair color sooo much! You know where to head to if you want an awesome hair makeover *wink-wink*


I shall end off this post with this photo with the ABTM (Ah Boys to Men) cast - Tosh Zhang (!!), Maxi Lim and Noah Yap. It was the day after I did my hair color. Super like this photo ♥

Shall blog about this Toast Box charity campaign (event) that I attended with dear Herine soon (: 

Till then... thank you for reading!
