Today, I decided its time to give my thick long hair a good trim. Looking at myself in the mirror yesterday I swear I could see Janis Joplin (Bless her soul I do love her voice) singing next to me and we looked like twins with our thick one length hair. I couldn’t even style my hair at all. Finally I stirred up my guts and went to my 2nd least favorite people – THE HAIRSTYLIST. I get nervous when I sit there and having to watch them with scrutiny as they cut my hair. I had to explain and point out how important it is that they cut my curly fussy hair very very well. Luckily the stylist understood me and I think he was the same guy who gave me that awesome Penelope Cruz cut 2 years ago.  He did what I instructed – maintain the length but trim it with layers. Result – Lighter hair and I can see my face

However I do not like it when they suggest to go for REBONDING! The moment he saw my hair he asked if Im interested to do that process of killing my curls and make it straight. I told him a number of times I dont like rebonding and I love my curls the way it is as it gives me choices of hair styles anytime. Straight hair for me makes me look stern and harsh and flat whereas my curls I can style it wavy or as it is and I look fine with it. Why is it that they always suggest us curly haired people to straighten our locks eh? Do our medusa locks look very threatening to their shears? Nevertheless I hold no grudges to him as he was just being a hairstylist but just when I found him again I was told that its his last month working there AND the saloon is closing down too ..

Just when I found a hair saloon I’m finally content with, I end up having to find another one that can do a good job in understanding my fussy misbehaving but lovable locks!!!

HELP!!

Im such a terrible blogger I know so I apologise. Right now I feel so tired I could do with a major physical overhaul of ME!

Its been such a busy week for me and Ive never felt this busy in my whole entire life. I remember when I first left home and moved out of the country to join my husband (then boyfriend) I have never felt so excited with the personal space I was getting in a new environment. He kept telling me to go out and make new friends whereas for me I was sort of stubborn and couldnt be arsed in making any thinking I’ll get by as I already have my own set of closest friends back at home so why bother making a new network here, right?

WRONG!!! Eventually I got bored of going out on my own and missing out on some ladies get together. This year Ive made new friends well I have known one of them for almost 2 years now but I feel that, since she is now pregnant and no longer working, I got to know her quite well now. The other two I only got to know them this year but for some reason (call me a nuthead) I felt theres a connection amongst us as we can talk things on random mode all 4 of us without going blank if you know what I mean. As an appreciation and in the spirit of Christmas I decided to give them some gifts as my way of saying thank you. Call me a bit of sentimental one but its very touching to know that one of them actually toast a drink for me for introducing her to the other rest.

SO LADIES, A TOAST TO OUR FRIENDSHIP AND AN EVERLASTING ONE TOO!!

Yep this year I noticed thats what Ive been doing extending the bridge of friendship near or far and its amazing!!  So I am thankful for that.

And now Ive got my own free time but still got TONS to do but I’ll get to do my blog reading again from time to time. I miss my reading my blogs

Having my younger sister in town with her boyfriend was sort of taxing too. Dont get me wrong I love my younger sister a whole lot but man! just the idea of going out does sap away my energy and bless her for understanding her elder sister’s efforts of meeting up. Her boyfriend is an absolute teddybear and I’m glad I got to know him and meeting him for the first time. At least all my doubts about the fella are all gone now and I can lift this over protective barrier I put on my sister and cast it away for good. Im surprise to know they’ve got plans to get married next year which I think is TOO FAST considering its only less than a year they’ve gone out as a couple but have known each other for a year now. I think its wise to really get to know each other properly first but I shant say a word. They’re both grown ups and Im not going to be a nagging duck at my sister.

Right my husband is playing Christmas songs right now which is very un-grinchly of him maybe its the Christmas tree and the gifts underneath the tree has finally made him in the mood?

Toodles all, Have a great weekend !!

Being away from my family and from home only means that I will miss out on ALOT of events and today’s one of them.

TODAY 23rd November 2009, my youngest sister gave birth to her second child. A healthy 3kg baby boy. I am so happy for her and so relieved that she had a safe delivery although the doctor had to break her water for what reason I dont know unless some experienced mothers explain to me why or gynaecologist give me the A-Z of pregnancy and delivery. In the end she had to have Caesarean but nevertheless she is fine, I’m now waiting in anticipation to see the latest photo of the new addition in my family this cute bundle of joy whom I heard has chubby rosy cheeks.

As much as I want to be there I can only celebrate the joy all the way over here.

Hope your day started out great and it continues throughout the week !!
