Astro Outing

It was rather disappointing. The people whom I have not met for a long time all decided not to come due to personal reason.

And hence, I was left alone with a computer geek and a 宅男 who explicitly self-proclaimed. The 宅男, as usual, talked about himself, about what he had been doing, how he would be single for the rest of his life coz he work in army, and how he is not earning enough, and what would it be life if he had gone to university. Conclusion: Bored.

After the lunch, we went to catch the movie: Quarantine

This is one sick show, because of its documentary way of filming, the scenes were often fidgeting. Is like having seasickness, nauseous and dizzy. It did not help when the show is all about gruesome. But I was too sick to be taken aback at those sudden "suppose to catch you off guard" scenes. I was feeling really sick after the show, and all the 宅男 could say was, "I feel sick too." -_-|||

An average show, although the lead female's acting was superb. It looks like she was really scared.

After the movie, I decided go for some shopping and the 宅男 decided to tag along, not my idea of shopping. He would be waiting outside the shop while I was scrutinizing the price tags of the items. I kept hinting him whether he wanna go back first coz it's gonna take some time since I was shopping. My third attempt finally got him off my tail. Hee hee. That's when I decided to my hair a change.

Oh yah, Miss Diyumi, he asked about you leh!

Feeling sexy again!

I finally got myself a decent hairstylist once again! Another impromptu visit to the saloon, Reds at Plaza Singapura.

A revisits to my old posts, I realized I would always walk into a saloon spontaneously, on a really bad hair day. And yesterday, my hair had gone so bad that I was wearing hairband to keep my grizzly hair tidy. So Reds were having promotion, and I walked by their saloon 3 times before I headed in for their cut & colour promotion.

I was being served with Sprite, a packet of biscuits and a hand towel. I only managed to finish my Sprite coz 90% of the time I was sleeping.

My hairstylist was Luis Wee, and usually I'm not too comfortable chatting much. Anyway, I told him this: "Hey, I came in without any hairstyle in mind, so you can be creative, but please keep my hair length." This sentence usually ended up with good results. The last time I said this I got this really nice haircut which I liked.

I was first treated to a light hair wash, because he said a too thorough wash would cause sting later during colouring on the scalp, so I supposed he wanted to keep the natural oil. The light hair wash took about 10mins. After blow-drying my hair, he set to part my hairs with clips, and commenting how my hair was very flat, and whether did I perm my hair or colour my hair before. The last time I coloured my hair by a professional was 3 years ago, and a DIY last year on 31 December. Anyway, he told he would give me a double layers, so that I have more volume on the top of my head. I think he took about 45 mins cuttng my hair, coz He was really careful with the parting and keep combing until he was satisfied. Surprisingly, my hair didn't come out with each combing, which usually did when I comb myself.

After the cut, I was pretty satisfied, but somehow I felt it didn't really end there, so I asked him, "Are you done with the cut?" I probably sounded very exasperated, so he used a comforting tine and replied, "I trim again after the colouring, not quite yet finish". During the colour choosing, I wanted something natural, coz I had my black hair for a few years, I'm afraid I would grow to dislike the colour after 3 days, choosing something dark and natural, has a more sense of comfort, as the colour doesn't contrast too much with my skin colour. The package included highlight, so Luis recommended the two tones for me. As assistant came over and started to part my hair with clips again, she was asking Luis how many parts to divide, and how to part the hair also, something technical to them. As they colour my hair and wrap with the foil, I recalled my last highlight attempt was done with a shower cap with holes and the end result was very chao ah lian (rough and unbalance division), plus the fact the colour was very chao ah lian also. But I was 21 years of age, so can tahan the chao ah lian colour.

After the foil wrap, they started spreading the base colour on the rest of my mane. After which they placed this machine above me, which it has a huge ring hovering above me and dissipates heat on my head. After about 2omins, I was ready to go and wash my hair again. While they were blow drying my hair, they were doing closing and were in quite a rush, so I was being asked to make payment, write the membership form and choose my door gift. Too lazy to pick my specs, I just squint my eyes and I wrote the form and sign the check. LOL.

I must say, I was very satisfied when I put on my specs and see how nice I looked, after almost a year of horrible hair.

End results:
The highlights

Nice? =D

Now I just have to moisturize my hair till it is sleek and glossy!

Einstein's Riddle

A friend sent me this link: http://www.manbottle.com/trivia/einstein_s_riddle. A logical riddle.

I solved it in 20 minutes using grids, which I was appalled at my own accurate answers and speed, considering that Einsteine said 98% of the world can't solve it. I swear I didn't see the answer altho I must admit some luck was involved. Check out the answer, it showed Einstein solving the question with equations! Yeah, he probably took 20 minutes also, like me.

I am so amazed by myself, coz I can be so smart and so goodu at the same time, which makes me: Amazing.

I don't if I am logically inclined or I am behavioral disabled. I made my boss vomit blood all day long by my stupidity at work.

I'm too logical for my own good. Bleahz!

Let me know if you solve it too, at least I know I ain't the only weird kid in the blog. =) EEE student should have no problem lah hor.

Sibeh Sianz...

My Jap class is postponed to December.

The more sianz thing was, I thought I had backup my Dad's photo in my Samsung phone to the Sony Ericsson, but I didn't! Shit... It was a batch of interesting photos!

I was having dinner at the coffeeshop with Mum & Dad on Monday, which we later went to Sheng Siong for grocery shopping. So Dad was carrying the sackof rice on his shoulders, back like his heydays when he was young, strong and handsome lah! So I took a series of his backshots... Coz somehow it reminded me of 朱自清的《背影.

Now I lost my own version.... Argh!!!

Update: This is 5 minutes later after the above. I found the photos. -_-|||

9 months later...

Miss Gwee and Miss Ng still cannot forget my birthday blunder ultra hilarious reaction! We actually still laughed to tears when we were talking about it! Bleahz... Die... That unglam scene of mine is so stuck with them forever.

Caught the Ave Q with the 2 of them, and only when with them, I actually forgo my weekly mahjong! Well, on top of of that, Marina Square was having quite a bit of sale.

Saw this pair of red shoes which was so apt to wear for CNY from Club Marc... $20 leh... Tempted to buy but the heels looked so weak that I think it will fall apart within the hour I wear...

My birthday is on Chu Si next year... I can come up with a theme party... celebrating 4th year anniversary of being 21 year old.

Snoop from Miss Gwee's vocab, a "ching-chong" theme partee!!!

Ave Q is fabulous! Laugh until I cry!

Today is a busy Sunday for me... My fingers didn't had a good rest from punching those ATM devices, and the computer keyboard. $xxx fly away today... $ for Jamie's tuition class & course materials, $ for my own Jap class which starts next week same time with Jamie's tuition, $ for the Bird Park Tickets (I got free tix for PA membership signup, so bought the other 2 at 30% off) and $ for next week's lunch. Bleahz....

Quite excited to pick up my Jap again... and be a student again. =)

Dreams Come True

I wanted and new and affordable camera; I got it.

I wanted compensation for the awful taxi ride; I did.

I wanted my stupid shoes to fall apart, it happened!

Now where's the job I wanted?

Once again, I totally throw my boss off his guard, and showed my best side: Ultra Blur & Blindy Eyes

He was looking for this laptop, I told I only remember it was placed under the table, and hence I looked under the table and said, "Nope, not there."

My boss saw the laptop 5 minutes later, under the same table, just beside me.

All I could uttered was, "Sorry, too blind". You all should have see my boss' face, and he was totally speechless. And me, was burning red with embarrassment.

I wish I was really Doraemon and then I could hide into my pockets!

Police Car

I wasn't jaywalking, but I was crossing without the green man on, when a police car was turning right into when I was. I thought it was funny that the car paused to let me pass. And I actually stunned for a second, thinking, "Shit! Police Car!"

Compliant, Complaint

I lodged a complaint against a taxi-driver on the day I bought my camera. Had wanted to take MRT that day, but by the time I walked to the station, my feet were lamed from the high heels shoes, and seeing the crowd on the track, I made my mind to take taxi. And to take the taxi, I had to lame all the way to Jurong Entertainment Centre. -_-|||

And so, the moment I boarded the taxi, I played with my new toy. After 10 minutes, or so, then I realised I was at Alexandra Road.

Hello, I didn't tell you which road to take, so you take long route is it?

I was burning mad with desire to told him off, but thinking since I did not tell him which road, fine, CTE CTE lor. But the idea of letting him diminished when he ask me where is Ave 2 (I stayed at Ave 4), and couldn't make a left turn appropriately.

I had encountered taxi-drivers who took CTE, but that was way before I knew KJE-Mandai was nearer, and I gave him the green light to take CTE. I also had drivers taking KJE and cut woodlands, also bloody expensive, but yet again, I was the goodu who believed Mandai was congested. But this time, this driver was quiet all the way until he was unsure where is Ave 2. A bit too much in my opinion. Chao geng also cannot geng until like that.

I lodged my improper English complaint on Wed, and today, the customer feedback replied me. Out of their goodwill, I got $10 worth complimentary taxi vouchers.

In my opinion, not so bad.

Here's what I wrote:

I an utterly disgusted at this driver. He had took a long route without my knowing, neither inform nor ask my preference of the route I would like take to take. I usually take taxi back from Jurong IBP, and I do not need to tell the driver "go by KJE then Mandai Road", for this route is shorter than going by CTE. Most drivers had the initiative to tell me the route he/she will be taking, but not driver of 1363K. He covered a total of 33.8km, taking 37 mins using CTE road, where I usually covered 24.8km and using only 26mins using the KJE in another taxi, in a non-congestion road. I shall not even go through how he misheard Ave 4 as Ave 2, hence unable to make a right turn after the Lentor ave near Yishun Ave 1. Fine, I gave him the signal to go straight all the way before making a right turn at Yishun Ring Road. His muddleness not only cost me extra $15, but also additional precious 10 minutes, excluding the walking time I need to make for stopping my trip outside Blk 666 instead of my own block. I hope to see some compensation being made and also, demerits from the driver. Even if he is not a seasoned drive, he should have the decency to tell me the route he was going to use.


A very passionate complaint, right? Was mad leh! $35, can buy 3 pairs of shoes you know!

Conclusion: Don't mess with an ex-EEE student, we are damn hardcore standard-compliance, faithful follow procedures and nutty over precision!
