extreme makeover

1 hair cut
1 session of eye brow plucking
1 sleeveless top for cny

-hair cut
this was long overdue [8 months since the last one]
my hair was the longest it had ever been since i started growing it out in jc 1
so it was getting rather shapeless/messy and heavy if tied in a ponytail
anyways..esther and i went to our usual hair soloon at toa payoh for a cut

you know how i always think all hair stylists fail maths
today confirmed it
i have a conversation to proof [translated from chinese]
the guy: how much do you want to cut?
me: er..3 inches lah
the guy: you sure ah..how much is 3 inches to you
me: *using my thumb and index finger to gauge* around like that lor..
the guy: HAHA that is 2 inches to us!

and so..my hair is very short now [def more then 3 inches looped off]
the shortest it has been since j1
and very thinned-out cos him thinks i have too much hair for my own good

-eye brows
agnes was going on abt wanting to neaten her eye brows [we met her in ps]
and she was so insistent on having it [even though she was "rushing" to get home]
so after we spent the afternoon in ps we trooped back to toa payoh to hunt for a place
and all the while she was psycho-ing me to do it too

we got to TP and the search started
agnes said she did it there before but couldnt rem where the shop was!
we walked everywhere looking for a place/shop that does eyebrow stuff
and we finally found one after super long
it was a nice spa place - warm deco, music kinda stuff
agnes did first and looked like she was enjoying herself entirely
so i went second..
its an interesting experience - the plucking and "shaving" and shaping
and so..i have nice eyebrows now:)

-the new top
i hadnt completed my cny shoppping yet
i guess its cos i buy clothes throughout the year..i dun see the need to rush for cny
but my mom still requires us to be in NEW clothes for the first 2 days
so shopping today was for esther and i to get enough new clothes
we looked at the usual places in ps - esprit, outfitters' girl..
and couldnt find anything
esther then manged to buy a purple skirt from bysi
and i reconfirmed the fact that i cant wear full, swishy skirts
they just look bad, really bad and its very sad

we somehow decided to get to little match girl
agnes started browsing through the racks [typical right:)]
she pulled out a top "eh..your skirt at home is yellow right? i think this can match"
it was a light brownish tanktop top
me: haarrrr...sleeveless?!
she: yah..just try lah....
so i went to try it
and it turned out quite nice actually just that im terribly unused seeing myself in it
esther bought the same top in white
yup..i think we are sufficiently prepared for the new year lah

the only thing not so nice today was lunch
we ate at mathattan fish market - order a fried fisherman's catch [i think]
and it got so gilat after a while
too much fried stuff - oil and batter taste only
i think i finished my oil quota for the week eating there

yuppers it was a day of escaping from school work
have to catch up now!
