Out and About

Went to Yum Cha at Gold Leaf (Burwood) today. It was good catching up with uni friends again. It's been so long since the last time we've had a gathering. Potter, Emma and I were the first three to arrive - literally. haha. we drove into Gold Leaf at the same time! Talk about perfect timing. Shortly after, Nicole and Ron arrived. Not know when the others were going to arrive, we decided to start eating first. haha. I had my usual favourite Football (Its like a sticky dough with minced pork inside. I always get it whenever I go to yumcha. hehe).

Lilian, Kei, Ken and Frank were the last to arrive. But by this time, most of us were already onto our desserts! haha. The Mango Saigo was soo refreshing! but it defintely filled me up after eating Doufu Fa (tofu with ginger syrup - Also a dessert). 

After finishing yumcha, everyone decided to go to Alvins for a bit, but I decided to go and get my hair done. I actually wanted to see Inception, but seeing majority of the others had already seen it, it didnt end up happening. 

So off to the hairdressers I went. I got my hair done at Aqua, in Glen Waverly. There was originally 2 Aquas in Glenny, But they've recently merged into one - the one remaining now is the one closer to the station. It was quite busy when I got there. They have a highschool special (Guys -$20 and Girls - $25 between 3-5pm). I thought that was pretty cool. A shame I'm no longer in highschool. haha! I was aiming to get my hair coloured, something like the picture on the left. But..It didnt turn out like that...so I'm not sure if I like my new hair colour. haha. I found it cool how they have these little ear caps, so that you don't get dye onto your ears, They looked like shower caps but tiny ones. haha. So after sitting there for about 40 minutes I got my hair washed, cut, blowdryed and then straightened.

The first girl who blew dryed my hair...seemed like a new comer. She didnt smile very often, and she was very rough with blow drying my hair. i did not like it at all. Luckily the other girl took over. So you can see on the right, my hair doesnt look anything like the picture, but I think it'll grow on me. Not sure whether I like it, probably shouldve chosen a lighter brown as the base, but I was scared it would be too bright. But anyways, let me know what you guys think. Yay or Nay? hehe. While getting my hair done, I found out my hairdresser enjoyed working over going on holidays. I think i enjoy both, work hard and then reward myself with a holiday. I love traveling the world. There are so many things to see and do out there that I probably would never have imagined. The hairdresser was quite funny, he was telling me that he was aiming to get a 6pack like Jacob. hehe. Wonder how many other guys have been influenced by Jacob?

Here we Go again - Philip Ardagh

Sometimes fleeting memories
of you
Catch me off-guard
like a scent  on the wind
and my mind is filled
with us
and the happiness
of then.
