Guess who did I have lunch with today?

Deng deng deng.

PAU!

No, like seriously. I actually met up with Pau in Hartamas. It's been quite awhile but hey, marikh blood runs deep! ^^ It was pretty fun catching up!

I then went to PJ to get my proper driver's license. The picture was badly cropped so my head looks huge on the card. Still, it's better than my previous severely-tumored face. The lady at the counter wasn't the most brilliant of employers in the facility. There were people doing some drilling outside the building but she didn't even bother raising her voice as she spoke through that thick piece of plastic divider on the counter. Rahman and Alisya can tell you that I am partially deaf to my own national language so whispering words over the sound of earth being pounded through left me as confused as a mushroom in the desert! That aside, I have to say that the service is really swift at the JPJ's office. 10/10.

Anyway after that was done, dad dropped me off at the saloon in OUG. I usually get my hair done at SunCity but I heard that they jacked up their prices so I headed to the one next door. 150 for a cut+highlights. Another 80 if I'd like a layer of base. Sounds good.

As per usual, I'd talk about how I am not fond of layers but that I would like some muted highlights and how badly I hate my bangs. My previous "stylists" would then give me a blunt cut, lowlights with the occasional mistakes and weird bangs. Pure DTPs of the design world I tell you.

This time- it was different. The stylist had opinions! OMG. SHE HAS OPINIONS. I was so impressed I just gave her the go ahead to chop off half the length of my hair, layer them, slap on some crazy highlights and dust the base. All without taking a glance at the color pallete! Unfortunately, I am not digging the fringe. She kept using the words "my idea here.." and "the purpose here.."... What revelation. I am so liking this woman already, not in a lesbian sense, mind you. She definitely thought it was time for me to drop the whole prim, proper, uptight and heavy aka 'sei ban' look. Honestly though, is it THAT scary? I did get a bit worried when she used the word "Japanese" while describing the highlights and the bangs.

No pics though. I'm waiting for my fringe to grow out of its awkward phase. LOL. I don't feel comfortable looking Japanese.
