good things happened

I hopped onto the bus and realized that I didn’t have change for the bus fare.

I asked a lady if she has change and she said she didn’t have but offered me RM2 anyways.

I asked for her bank account number so that I can ‘Fund Transfer’ it over but she said it’s ok.

Then a man who took a seat at the back of the bus came right next to me and offered 5 RM1 notes to me.

How nice! I thank him and he went back to his seat at the back of the bus.

I returned RM2 to the lady and blessed the souls of the good people.

dinner date with the hairstylist

It happened to me many times but whenever I think about it, I am still amazed how 2 people from different background can click so well at that very moment they meet.

I can be extremely particular(or paranoid rather) with my hair to the extend of loosing sleep over a badly cut fringe for days! So when the hairstylist that I frequent left, I was ‘passed on’ to Yer. I didn’t have to say much about what I wanted, she took a look at me with enthusiasm and told me she’s gonna give me a Victoria Beckham hairstyle haha…Miraculously at that moment we started chatting like old time friends.

Yer was good. So damn bloody good! If hairstyling is an art, she is the Picasso. It’s just something about her style that make one’s jaw drop. Not to mention that she was a celebrity hairstylist in Media Corp, Singapore!

We met up for dinner and coffee and I got to know her a little bit better. Of cause I am not gonna blog about her personal life experiences. Well, if that’s the case then there is nothing much I can blog haha…

Anyway, what a great way to start having new friends. People say making friends gets tougher when you grow older. True, but it’s not impossible :)

**********

Oh, Yer did fixed my hair. Funny thing was, she shook her head in disbelief when she saw me. She said she has never seen such an “ah soh” hairstyle! haha…

She did a good job but we both agree that this hairstyle isn’t me. I just don’t have the right face to pull off a VERY short hairdo. But what the heck! This is a ‘once in a life time’ kinda hairstyle and the least I can do is stop moaning and start having fun!

So that’s what I am gonna do. To have fun! To hell with those conservative-RM5-mamak-hairstyle people who disapproves. It’s my hair and I can do whatever I want with it.

a night out with Gwen

Last Wednesday, Celest and I caught Gwen in action. Got great seats! P44 and P45.
16 rolls from centre stage! Gwen wasn’t minute, she was crystal clear!

Saw celebrities as well. Ariana Teoh and hubby, Hans Isaac, Joanne Bessy and Izham Omar!!

Gwen was a doll!

it’s still fugly

I finally got hold of Yer. After hearing my mishap with the amateur hairstylist, she assured me that she will fix it. Even asked me to MMS her my ugly hairdo so that she can think of something on the spot (wah so dedicated!). But ofcoz, got a ear full from her, the first thing she ask was whether I still have my fringe haha!

Today was pretty annoying with people asking me why did I cut my hair lah, what has gotten into me lah and some even gave me a lecture on the new haircut. Wah! hello, it’s my hair ok. I don’t have to justify to anyone why I cut it short ok? Hmmmph.

This is nuts, I am getting another haircut tomorrow and hopefully Yer work some magic on this fugly hairdo of mine.

what’s next

It’s close to midnight and I am still here, wide awake. Really in the mood to stay up all night and do some life planning. There is much to think about, about life, about my next pit stop. I feel that my life has come to a halt. Perhaps it is still possible to do a ‘u turn’, question is, at which juncture?

last weekend

I went on a road trip to Malacca with friends from the agency ;) Was great fun!

bad hair cut

I am sure my hairstylist is gonna shriek when she sees how bad my hair has be ruined by an amateur named Mango. (Who in the right mind would name herself after a fruit?)

One of the things that I hated most is to walk out of a hair saloon feeling like a pauper who has just lost everything! Exaggerating? Not. If you are the type who thinks that your hair is your crown, you’d know what I mean. After all, hair growth doesn’t happen overnight.

So when I met Yer from Fusion (in KLCC), it was like … Halleluiah! I would let her do whatever she fancy and her professionalism has never failed me.

Yesterday, of all the things I could have done in the mall, I walked into a saloon which I frequent when I was in my twenties and walked out feeling and LOOKING like crap. No doubt, it was a bad haircut! So bad I wanted to shave my head and hide in a cave forever!

*Roll eyes* I hate it when this kinda thing happens – a bad hair cut is the worst crime ever!

Anyway, I walked into another hair saloon 3 hours later and told the cute hairstylist what happened earlier. I could feel he was pressured by how pissed off I was. But looking at how he maneuvered the scissors, I know he would somehow save my very ugly hairdo.

Which, he did. By cutting it sooo short that it would take me at least 2 years to grow my hair back to shoulder length :(

cool but full of crap

Thursday must’ve been my lucky day. Met up with MV for a quick lunch only to find that he was going back to BP later in the evening. So he picked me up from work at 6pm and we shoot off to Batu Pahat in his spanking new Honda Civic humming to tunes like ‘Sound of Freedom’ and ‘Love Generation’ by Bob Sinclair and had me feel like I’m living in a game machine.

It’s impossible hagging out with someone from the past, without having all the past memories gushing back at the back of the mind. But it’s also contemplating to know that we can be friends despite all the drama we had earlier in our lives. Although I do admit that i am very selective when it comes to rekindling friendships. (esp ex.bfs)

I’ve been on a DVD marathon ever since I came back. Watched ‘1408′, ‘Skin Walker’, ‘Perfect Stranger’, ‘Fantastic 4′, ‘28 Weeks Later’,'Reign over me’ and ‘Original Sins’! It’s worst when my brother has a full box of DVDs laying around! It’s like an addiction.

I can’t believe how BP has flourished! It almost (if not better) than Malacca now! We have too many concept cafes, malls, we even have Carrefour and Pantai Hospital. Now, since when did that happened?! Pretty soon I am sure we are gonna have Starbucks and Coffee Bean too. which is scary…I don’t wanna come back to another “KL”! :( sucks.

*************

In a separate note, I’ve been having all these unnerving feeling for the past few weeks. I don’t believe that anyone in the right mind who wants something so bad would just sit back and not do anything at all. It’s just crap.

Fucking crap.

i.n.t.e.n.t.i.o.n

I walked out of Marie France feeling like a million bucks. That’s when I’ve decided that my weekend is too bloody precious to be bog down by the emo trip.

I guess I just have to be extra careful next time at work. I sometimes forget that there are stricter rules and regulations that I need to adhere to and human feelings that needs extra delicate attention. Unlike in web agency, everything can be resolved and laughed at over a beer.

Whatever happens on Monday, I’ll have to deal with it then. No point crying over spilled milk. As long as my intentions are not evil, I am sure everything will be ok.

come. come my lady luck

All the mee goreng for breakfast, lunches and nice hotel food is not helping in my weight control program! Shit shit shit shit shit! :(

The launch is just a couple of days away. Hopefully everything goes well as planned and we can all go for our own weekend getaway!

Good luck to us!
