Hair

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

For those who know me, I used to have long curly locks which I was so proud of …

And after one HUGE mistake by stepping foot into a $10 10min(red for red alert) quick haircut shop, my tresses became disaster …. I could have died  or died trying to kill the hairdresser but my determination to live superceded the importance of vanity so …. life goes on. With some adjustments it went from Octopus($10 haircut) to this ….

Now please bloody note that the boyfriend rides a bike means I have to put a helmet on and when i put the helmet on means my hair gets flattened and when the hair gets flattened means I have to restyle my hair after every ride and the above picture is only done by hair stylist - so imagine my frustrations …. I know you ladies can appreciate  , u guys just laugh away and say "its just hair no big deal"!

Hey its a big deal okay! The hair is the most important asset of  a lady. But anyway look past that and the hair grew …

I thought it was perfect. Nice and easy. Short and simple. However to get the curl-in effect i have to spend 30mins in front of the mirror and hairdryer blowing into my hair with a hairbrush trying to get it to curl IN instead of In and OUT and IN and OUT … This is when I spend $8-$15 every 2-3 days going to the salon to get my hair done - just for work! U know who to taught me this? haha who else but the DIVA Anita ….

Anyways I dont know what possessed me and I got bored with hairdrying my hair everyday so I went to get it permed. At a salon under the block. Grrreeeaaat choice of salon wasn’t it? Yeah shuddup already.  The ‘auntie‘ (it gets worse doesn’t it) who did my hair was an aging one so my hair went out according to her taste. Grreeaattt. Disaster. Again. I would stand in front of the mirror with hairdryer in one hand and brush in another ANYTIME babey rather than do perm at her salon again!

Good thing is people dont recognise who i was with this hair. But shit thing is when they do, they either compliment politely "your hair looks like its just getting ready for a show on stage - so DIVA" (yeah right balls off now) or they blatantly laugh in my face. That’s some hardcore crap i have to endure everyday until finally i got it rebond! Imagine how many gatherings I have to miss! Hey but I gotta earn some credit for living with it for a month. Its like a fear factor hairstyle thing u know!

If I ever make a hairstyle mistake again in future pls remind me to read my 1st Feb 2007 journal entry in Friendster.

Done laughing? Get back to your work now.

(Look, I dont know why this post turns out like this with the photo attachment all over the entry and all. Laugh as much as you want at my lack of ability but I dont want to risk losing the whole entry so Im not gonna edit it. :P)

My friend’s hubby’s Birthday

Monday, January 29th, 2007

U must be wondering … what I’m gonna write based on the above subject eh?

Well a dear friend did not have time to think or buy a gift for the hubby (tsk tsk tsk u must be caned and imprisoned for life) so i decided to lend a helping hand.

Me being the EXTREME bored and lifeless at home.

So I went to her house and decorate her house a lil bit despite an irritating runny nose and boyfriend (That irritating refers to both subjects).

I put the ferrero rochers in a big heart shaped, surrounding her cute small chocolate cake. Then at the corner of the ‘mat‘ I placed a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of sparkling juice (which looks like a bottle of wine hence a "classy" look), his bday card (which I made upside down and before that I had to edit everything just to cover up a "2006", whatever it is EVRYTHING simply was wrong with the card) and then tealight candle leading from the door to the cake. Well I know you cant imagine how it looks like but … i think its quite romantic.

Boyfriend asked me why I go to such extends for a friend. I think its NO extend at all. I am glad I am given an assignment to do to kill my time plus it makes me warm to think someone will be appreciating what I do for them and on their special day!

I don’t know what happened to them after they saw my surprise (I bet we do don’t we … *winks winks winks* ….)

Oh I forgot to add in that when I was escaping from my deed with a towel covering my face (because i was sneezing non stop) I bump into them at the lift at the ground floor! Yikes - GGRreeaatt. Thank God I was looking like Taliban so I went in opposite direction which I didnt know was towards the mailbox and when I realised I couldnt escape from there, made a u-turn and hid behind the lift for a while … haha …
