Switched Hairstylist

Decided to switch hairstylist after having the same hairstylist for years.
My childhood friend recently opened a saloon with his friends. Went for my first haircut with him today.
Patrick asked what hairstyle i have in mind. I just told him to recommend anything to me.
Told him that I dont mind if he needs to chop off 2 inches of my hair or so.
So he went on to work his magic.
Result - 1-2 inches shorter hair, with a bit of layers, more movement. Quite like it. It feels very natural and comfy.
Will visit him again in future for haircuts! :)

Ramblings~The Simple Life ~ Dance Inspired

Coming back from a laid back weekend trip to Lumut, it was refreshing to be back at home at last.

Today, being on leave, I just went with the flow with no concrete plans of to-do's today.

I just let the ideas come naturally. Most of the time today was spent spring cleaning my room, unpacking, having long, leisurely breakfast - reading my book while eating my dim sum & egg tart breakfast while sipping my favourite milk tea. Nice.....

After brunch, came home, went online. Willvhead to the dentist for a routine check up and head to gym. It's granny's birthday tonight but she insisted on eating at home. Uncle will be cooking some noodles and we'll have a simple family dinner at home tonight.

I was just having light lunch/tea with my brother (who was also on leave today) and was describing to him the importance of having a good dance mentor/instructor. Recently the 'So You Think You Can Dance' competition has just ended, and Hong was both of our favourites.

We were discussing his performance during the finals. I felt that he danced with all his life and soul. Each movement was very sharp and full of emotions. I felt that he genuinely appreciated and felt the song he was dancing to.

Similarly, I felt very much "in the song" whenever I am in my Jam classes. Especially when the instructor is good at bringing up the mood AND pointing out helpful pointers for us to dance better and make our movements sharper, yet smoother.

Very few things in life can beat the feeling of Dancing with All your Heart and Soul.

You feel that you are soaring - just as when you are living with all your heart and soul. :)
