something happened, when it should not have in the first place.

consequences have got to be paid.

Min & Shunji Matsuo makes me feel brand new

It all started with Hubby patting my head. 

He then commented that its time he gives me some money to go do something to my frizzy unkempt hair. 

Of course, I took that comment positively and even jumped in joy immediately.

People that really know me, would know how I only usually visit the salon once a year to get my hair done. 

I am not the type of girl to go to the salon every now and then to do treatment, color change or even trim my hair.

Yes, I am a hobo like that, praying every now and then that I shall have a good hair day.

Seriously, I think I fail as a woman.

Anyway, back to my hair and how it made me feel brand new today after visiting back Min & Shunji Matsuo @ Hartamas. 

Initially I wanted to tryout this raved-about salon, as they were all over almost every girl's blog and how nice and good their skills are.. wonderful products and their swear-by hair treatment ... but then again, I could not bring myself to head over there as 

1) the bloggers are sponsored

2) they are very very expensive where treatment is charged separately even if you do colouring/rebonding/perm with them.

and anyway, Min & Shunji Matsuo did leave a lasting impression on me as my perm did last till now, and it was rather manageable with a nice cut. I actually like what the hairstylist did to my hair and I still like what she just did to my hair today.

Before Min, I did go to another salon but that hairstylist was just practically following the books instead of going with his intuition as a hairstylist giving someone a new hairstyle so it came out quite wrong and I didn't know how to style my hair after that, giving me much problems ... so yea, I can be really really anal and also loyal when it comes to sticking to a salon.

So what did I do today to my hair?

My look is inspired by Carly Rae Jepsen and also Jung So Min in Can We Get Married drama. I kind of fell in love with that cut and hair length. I sometimes scare myself silly when I look in the mirror with my long hair aka dry grass. Not to mention, my big barren forehead with the bald spot that I obtained from my pregnancy stage. That is also the reason why I don't look like any other girls who can tie a nice ponytail or bun, because my bald spot and forehead makes me look like an alien from outer space.

Ok, so what exactly did I do to my hair today that costs me a bomb? No, don't ask me the price...

1) Hair Cut

2) Soft Rebonding as I have Mufasa hair if I don't tame it with rebonding. (I am so grateful to the person who invented rebonding)

3) Colour + Treatment

Outcome?

What do you think?

Finally, I dyed my hair. 

I am not brave enough to dye bright colours or fall/winter colours which is currently trending among the girls right now. I chose a safe colour, just goldish brown over my dark black hair so it will just come out looking rather natural and not-in-your-face kind of colour.

Maybe, maybe next time, I shall have it a bit redder. :) or pinkish brown, whatever that does not make me any darker looking as my skin is already really tanned enough.

Truth be told, I might have this hairstyle before, just different in hair length ... but anyway, after coming out of the salon today, I feel like a brand new person rocking my newly styled hair. =)

So what do you think? Suit my face shape? =)

Happy Birthday you :)

ICQ was what that brought us together. 

Connected us in fact, through a mutual friend ... and from there, a beautiful friendship happened.

We met up for the first time, went on a movie date ... and just like magic, we clicked. We actually clicked. 

The friend, then took me out with to meet other friends, that were also connected to the mutual friend and with their invitation, I took up a game challenge and actually went all the way till the finals. 

How wonderful is that?

So what challenge is that?

You can read all about it here ...

We kept in touch, went out when I was back in Penang for holidays and well, I really like our friendship. It was just plain healthy, non pretentious and very comfortable.

So what friend is this? 

It is a friend who understands my love for all these idols, the one that knows which idols I love best and will try to score me tickets or at least inform me of my favourite idols' arrival in Malaysia.

Once, I was given a pair of tickets to go watch Pussycat Dolls and that was superb. Just because my friend was there with me, seeing me go gaga over the Pussycats.

We never really got a chance to meet up during other concerts since but I know there will be one day and we will enjoy it silly. 

Today, its my friend's birthday and all I want to do is to wish her a smooth-working life and happiness always because she really deserves it !!!

Happy Birthday HunYee babe!!!! Hoping you have a good one :)

Love you !!!!
