Today I got the one thing I've been wanting to do for a long time, done i.e. visit the hairdresser's. Fringe getting heavy and irritating and eliminating the use of my right eye. Also hair getting too thick and unruly. Changed hairdressers today, went to the sicc one. More on that later. Also replenished my toiletries - toothpaste, soap, pads, etc. Yay. Whee. Woo-hoo. Boy am I glad F_ is the only one who reads this. Otherwise I would never dare to blog such personal / mundane stuff. Incidentally, F_ has decided to move his blog cos it's getting too popular. I say, good move pal! Now he'll have Freedom to Blog!!! Instead of having to pander to the masses and watching your SPG etc. So sian. So much better to have a private blog where you can talk all sorts of crap and don't give a damn about offending people or keeping them interested. More diary-ish than newspaper column-ish. I like it this way :) Plus I can say stuff like I love you F_!!! and it ain't embarrassing in the least. Heh.
Went to school at 10am, was yawning my head off unabashedly throughout the session, which horrors of horrors! ended only at 1.30pm. Perfectionists...Bah!
Such a pity cos my group really is full of nice people. Too bad we're so damn inefficient.
Brought sis to coro for chicken rice after cos she din haf any lunch at home, had a nice chat with her, catch up with her nefarious activities. I have been talking to pok quite a bit, especially after helping him with maths in the library, but cons is usually msn-ing on the downstares comp so I rarely get to have a nice chit-chat with her. Oh well. They're busy people, my sibs, they are.
Incidentally, F_ took down his blog, and is now conjoint owner of a new blog with his 2 frens. I reserve comment on this.
Hair Lair
Once you've visited one saloon, you've seen them all. First the gay hairstylist, highly sought after by tai-tais the world over, who does the actual grunt work. Secondly, the ubiquitous "extra" over-the-hill mama-san type, lounging around, guffawing with the tai-tais, doesn't actually possess any hair-cutting skills and whose primary function is plaguing the unsuspecting customer with "manicure? pedicure? foot massage?" The one at sicc (bright red highlights, fussy clothes and big hair) shot a "you have big natural curls. Ever heard of rebonding?" at me. Felt like telling her "Ever heard of liposuction?" But I figured she probably has some control over the gay stylist and I didn't want to end up with a crew cut so I politely declined (DON'T shake your head while somebody is cutting your hair)
Incidentally, the mama-san at my previous saloon provided, amongst the above-mentioned services, earshit-removal service. According to the poster, they stick a candle in your ear (the end without the wick), and then light the wick. supposedly draws the shit out of your ears. Haven't seen anyone try it yet tho. Wonder why.
Anyway, I think I'll be sticking to this new saloon, mama-san and gays notwithstanding, cos I got a better cut at 30 bucks less ($18 vs the usual $48), plus it's nearer my house and has good parking and after that I can jump into the pool and have a swim and let my little hair-bits clog up the swimming pool filtration system and scare the little children and the adults will say "Oh no! There is seaweed in the pool..Again!!" Oh happy day.
