On some days, you'd be lucky to catch one typo from a magazine you happen to read.
Well, on some days, you're just plain unfortunate. I caught 2 typo/spelling mistakes halfway through reading this week's issue. This isn't the first time I'd noticed such blatant errors and nor will it be the last. Not that I'm complaining or anything--no wait, I am... what happened to the very useful spell-check? Or are they too good for it now? I fear for the future of our entertainment magazines. (LOL! I typed "feer"! *is subconsciously adapting to bad English*)
Hmm... I should have a separate tag that says Engrish or something. Lol...
Aver-readyBeisdes, I like to go to the bay-side

Hair:
So after the third Virgo (mom, zy and esther-mama) complained about my crop of messy poofy hair, mom finally had enough and made me go straighten it. Got dragged out of bed at 10am this morning and down to the saloon at 11 plus only to find that the shop mom wanted me to go wasn't open. Went to the one next to it instead. Mom kept asking me in front of the hairdresser if I wanna do it and I'm like "I don't wanna do it at all but you're the one who wants me to do it so do you want me to do it here?" and she nodded sheepishly.
Spent 3 long and arduous hours of sitting in the
rather comfy chair. A couple of highlight-worthy scenes was the lady boss drying the back of my shirt for me and offering me a drink and the hairdressing dropping the hairdryer on me and the lady boss gave me a bottle of shampoo and conditioner for free after that.
So after the second time the guy rinsed off my hair, I was leaning forward in the chair coz the back of my shirt was a lil damp. The lady boss asked me why aren't I leaning back so I told her my shirt's a lil wet and she'd took up the hairdryer and started drying it off apologetically. Asked me if I wanted something to drink too and since it's gonna be another hour or so more, I said yeah ok. I thought she's gonna give me a glass of water or something but she went out and bought a small bottle of OJ from the adjacent grocery store. =3
Next, the hairdresser guy was blow-drying my hair and his hand slipped coz of all the moisturizing stuff they slap on my inherently dry hair. It landed on the part where the neck connects to the shoulder coz I managed to twist away a lil (would've landed on my head if I didn't...) and it hurts. Accident and all so oh well. The lady boss gave me 2 small bottles of their shampoo and conditioner but on hindsight, maybe I shoulda asked for a discount or something. Lol...
Me: Before straighteningMe: After straighteningVote: Before or After? Which looks better?
The first thing I thought of when I looked into the mirror was "Uwaaa...
Nico Robin...". Bro told me not to insult her. Lmao!

Food:
So after flattening my hair to epic proportions, I went across the street and bought Botak Jones. Their famous Fish and Chips is delicious but their Cajun Chic is a lil iffy--but I like it just the same. Haha... Was a lil caught off-guard when they started calling for a Miss Tressa instead of Theresa. Lol...
Got home and after finishing that up with bro, we had mooncakes. Since it's the Mid-Autumn festival today. Workplace's got sales of mooncakes with good discounts so I'd bought durian mooncakes, cempedak mooncakes and mango mooncakes from Goodwoodpark Hotel and champagne white chocolate mooncakes from Raffles Hotel. Yum! Even though the champagne white choco mooncakes tastes more like white choco mooncakes without champagne and the snowskin mooncakes are all sticky and melty and gooey. My 20/20 hindsight tells me I should've bought the rum and choco mooncakes from Marc and Leonard instead. I can feel the rum on my tongue after I bit into the choco. Ah well...
So stuffed now! I had one and a half Mos Burger with natjie and buffet dinner yesterday too. So gonna turn into a pig tomorrow. A pig with ugly hair. Lol!
