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. :)

WOWWWW


I had an amazing weekend!!!
Friday night - fav class by fav instructor.... followed by my fav food for dinner, then met up with friend for coffee.... (of course, i drank hot choc instead of coffee/tea...knowing well that caffeine keeps me awake). It was really nice chatting to my new found friend... we chatted non stop for almost 2 hours...
Sat- Bleary eyed, sleep deprived Gym Hopping day. Sleep deprived due to some disruptions in my sleep quality/hours for the past one week... Still went to gym nevertheless. Body and mind was half awake when I attended Body Attack. Nevertheless, I still managed to be my crazy gung-ho self in the class - since it was taught by fun people :)
Immediately after the class, I RUSHED to change and waited for my friend to hitch a ride from him to the next gym. Time for BodyJam! While we were in the car, we chatted about the usual stuffs. He asked me for comments on his classes and is always open to suggestions for improvements. No wonder he is such a good instructor - he actually bothers to improve himself continuously, despite already being the one of the (if not, the) best instructor. While chatting with him, I felt a sense of deja vu. Yeah, one year ago, I went gym hopping as well - one of the Saturdays. We talked about the same topic too - his classes.
Somehow, I realised that in this one year, many things have happenned to our group of friends. Some friends have distanced themselves due to misunderstandings. Some friendships fell apart due to one of the party having found his other half. Somebody came back from overseas and thus filled the void which used to be there, and somebody got dropped out of the circle due to the lack of void now. So many things happenned in the past one year. The future is really hard to predict.....OKOK, back to my weekend story.
Sun - too sore to workout. Went shopping instead. Bought some casual wear and......gym wear [*smiles sheepishly*].
