Dinner with Friends

Last night, Amanda invited my other friends and I for dinner at her house. =D Grace came to pick Eileen and I. She baked chocolate cola cupcakes for sweet people like us to eat. Haha The cupcakes were nice. =D It has been a long time since we gathered at Amanda's house for a dinner like that. I like the crispy tomato mee and chicken curry. Not to forget, the rest of the food. haha Amanda baked bread pudding for us to eat with vanilla ice cream as dessert. After eating, we took some pictures around her house. Since there's a slope at Amanda's house when you want to drive out of her house, we had a little rollercoaster ride there last night when we went back in Grace's car. Her car slided down a bit before going up again. haha We laughed the whole way in the car due to the different funny stories which we told each other. Grace said it was due to the diluted alcohol with sprite. haha Anyway, it was a great night to hang out with my old friends before leaving for KL tomorrow.

Enter-K II

Last Saturday, I went to Enter-K with Grace and Eileen after work. At first, we had so much energy to sing but after an hour or so, we all became too tired to sing. haha Instead of singing along, we just sat down on the couch. We had our free of charge food and drinks while watching the people singing in front of us. Haha We didn't take many pictures but we took many videos of us giving out many horrible concerts. haha It wasn't as crazy as my previous karaoke because Grace and Eileen were very neutral and passive type. They didn't jump around the room to dance and sing or lie on the table to sing. We sang mostly sad love songs because Grace liked those songs. Eileen said she couldn't imagine what kind of songs Grace would sing if she were to break up with a guy because those songs were already sad enough for her when she is single now. Haha Not only that, we sang many songs by Britney Spears too because Grace liked her songs. After singing till almost 3pm at Enter-K, we went to Red Tea Road in town to buy bubble milk tea. Eileen didn't drink because she said it was fattening. We went to hang out at Grace's house after that. Eileen wanted to play with her dogs but they kept barking at her. As for me, I stood quite far watching them playing with her dogs because I'm afraid of dogs. Haha I had to leave earlier for church after that.

Prawn Fishing II

Just one day before Alison went back to Singapore, we went for prawn fishing. Alison came to pick Eileen and I. It was supposed to be the 3 of us only because the rest couldn't make it but in the end, we decided to wake Lilian up from dreamland to join us for prawn fishing. Haha When we reached there, we were the only girls again as usual. Eileen said prawn fishing was an old man's hobby to explain the reason that we were the only girls there. We fished for one and a half hour. We managed to catch around 8 or 9 prawns but they were smaller than my previous prawn fishing trip. Thanks to an old man who gave us a few of his prawns too. Haha

My Ambitious Dream to be a Hairdresser

HAIRDRESSING is the art of arranging the hair or otherwise modifying its natural state. Closely related to headgear, hairdressing has been an important part of the dress of both men and women since antiquity and, like dress, serves a number of functions. From the late Middle Ages, hair styles in the West have been greatly influenced by changing fashion. In the 17th century, for example, courtiers followed the lead of the balding Louis XIV, who wore a wig. In the 20th century women of all classes eagerly followed the example of film stars with such styles as the platinum hair of Jean Harlow. Until the 20th century, fashionable hair styles generally were limited to the upper classes, and the dictates of fashion were relatively rigid. Today, with the general increase in wealth, the improvement in mass communication, and the trend toward informality and individualism, women (and men) in all classes can choose the style and color of their own hair, or of a wig, that best suit their needs and tastes. After looking at so many hairdressers cutting their customers' hair, I had this dream to cut my own customers' hair. Guess what? I had my first customer last week. Haha After telling Gerald that I could really cut his hair for quite some time, he finally decided to let me cut his hair. It was my first time trying to cut someone's hair. I thought that it would be easier to cut a guy's hair rather than a girl's hair. I was totally wrong because to me, they are equally hard to cut for someone like me after my first experience. I took more than an hour to cut a simple hairstyle (it wasn't a style at all to be exact). It was a disaster. Whenever he asked me how was it, I told him that it looked fine. Well, I thought it looked fine. I didn't know it was so uneven. When I was finally done with it, he went to the big mirror and he told me that it was uneven and weird. In the end, we had to go to the saloon to fix his hair. This was the conversation between the REAL hairdresser and him:

Hairdresser: Wow! Your hair was too long and your teacher simply cut it for you in school?
Gerald: Erm, yeah. My teacher is my friend too. She told me she knew how to cut so I let her cut.
Hairdresser: She just learned how to cut someone's hair?
Gerald: Yeah, when she was cutting my hair, I felt like crying.
Hairdresser: It's ok. I will fix it for you but I guess she had ruined your front hair. It is too short.

After 30 minutes.... everything went back to normal. Both of us laughed when we stepped out of the saloon. Now, I never dream to be a hairdresser anymore. I doubt I have any second customer too. Haha

The more you exercise, the more you eat

Yesterday, I went for Aerobics with Grace and Amanda. After exercising so hard for half an hour, Grace and I went back as we did not want to do the Yoga. Amanda is my only friend who enjoys doing the Yoga. Anyway, as soon as we stepped out of the place, we already went to 7 Eleven to buy sweet drinks especially me who went to buy a cup of Slurpee to drink. 20% of exercising was gone immediately. Haha We went back to shower and Grace came over to my house after that. She left her car at my place and I drove the both of us to Amanda's place for lunch. It was stupid of us because we should have just driven there with our own cars. Due to our dumbness, I had to drive all the way back to my house to drop Grace off at her car instead of going straight to work from Amanda's house. haha Anyway, I had a nice lunch over there. We ate spare ribs cabbage curry with rice. 50% of exercising was gone. Then, we ate durian cakes, mooncakes and bak kua which she bought back from Ipoh. 200% of exercising was gone. Lol It was a nice lunch. =D
