Jonal Chong Hair Studio

And so.. following Her World's promotional advertisement, I made this booking with Jonal Chong for my mother and I for today.

The hair cut was okay for both my mother and I. But the experience was not good at all. First we had to wait despite our booking. Then we realised that the same guy who was busying with another customer's dye had to attend to both me and my mother. They didn't even ask if who wanted to go first. just went ahead to cut my mum's first. So I sat there waiting, den when he cut my hair, my mother sat there waiting. (There were times we were BOTH waiting cos he had to tend to the other lady who was dying hair.)

Worse was, he didn't even seek my mum's approval on his haircut. My mother had to prompt him to tidy up a few loose ends after he ordered a shampoo guy to remove her shoulder towel. That was when I had the time to check my fringe to realise there were a few loose ends. When told, he even insisted they belong to the back! But I know my fringe better. URGH!

And and, he allowed me to check my back, for me to realise a few stray clumps again, so he trimmed but didn't let me verify thereafter! And when making payment, my mother discovered some stray clumps at my back (cos he didn't let me verify remember?) and he had this long discussion with my mum insisting the stray clump was due to the hair being at e wrong place! Well, if you knew my obstinate mum, she won and he was coerced to trim it nicely. But i realised another stray strand of hair on my fringe that I JUST cut it off with my elephant scissors.

Haha.

And I was forced to pay cash for I dunno what reason. (guy said they dun accept VISA!?) I couldn't be bothered to find out le. He even suggested I sign package! What crap! I won't even THINK TWICE about NOT gng back. And when I enquired, only to realise that some hairdresser called in sick today. That's why they're so short-handed. So I suggested next time they could let the customer know, so the customer may decide if she wanted to return another day and dun have to suffer such negligent treatment! He tried giving excuses for his stupid decision. URGH! Totally not sweet.

What a tiring haircut. :(

P.S. After we got home, my mother felt some raw skin at e back of her neck. That's when I saw the cut caused by the razor when he was trimming her back. Please dun go there la. I totally discourage you from even TRYING. My neighbourhood got one simple salon much much better.

A road less travelled...

My Sec Sch teacher once preached, "why following the majority? why not embark on the road less travelled?"

Today, I had the opportunity to take a short walk home on a route very different from my usual. This route, though I haven't taken in a decade, seems so familiar and brought so much nostalgia back. It was the route I walked this once when rushing to school with a mate. But the most precious memory was two decades back, when I travelled that route everyday, to my kindergarten 1 and 2 - PAP. It held even greater memory, when I was still a toddler and my aunt just got married. My aunt and uncle will walk me over on weekends, just to buy a simple bottle of Coke. It was such a sweet outing then, as being so young, every outing was filled with fun.

So, I embarked on this road less travelled, a very quiet walk back home today. Reflecting on my past three decades, thinking back about my memories on that route. It was so emotionally boggling, like filling my quarter-filled emotions flask with water and over-flowing.

Yes, I am in pain today. But I do not know why. My pain started way before this road less travelled home.

I need time. I need space. To sort out this pain.

In Pain

Why does the heart hurt so much?
Could it be the fear to part?

What is it reminded of?
Could it be the love lost?

Love isn't even in the equation anymore!
Maybe absence is the most painful of all.

Department Outing

I figured I should post something else besides how excited I am about work.

Tmr is my training day, so not gng to work. :D I'm looking forward to it cos its a 'Lean Thinking' Course. Supposed to be interactive (at least i read from the course description). But yes! I wish I could work, cos still got so many things haven't sort out and Sunday I have to brave the crowds MYSELF! Grrr.. wished at least B or A or J can go! I dun even know L! -.-

Anw, last Fri was our dept outing. Oh, it was so fun! You know, I so totally dislike bowling etc etc. But we went bowling. Even as we were asked to go get the bowling shoe at the shoe counter, I was asking "CAn I not play?". But it turned out great! Was quite jealous org. of another team who has B scoring XXXX for them. Think he got ~165 points! But was so much happier to know that A was also pro. pro = spin ball, curve or some pple call hook i think. And A did eventually hit ~165 too! haha..

Critically, I think it was the team spirit that made my day. Everybody was watching out for one another. Like after I throw my ball, I'd turn and walk back to see all four of them eyes fixed on my rolling ball to see how many pins i hit! They seem even more concerned about my score than I! Haha, and not to mention the encouraging shouts of 'Spare! Spare!' from B, which eventually did help me to spare!

Oh, and we did some silly stuff. Cos i had this one pin left on the side, B was asking me to 'push the ball' like the 5-yr-old kids' way. And I did, to have the ball go all the way to the drain. -.- so i challenged him. The second time i couldn't strike due to one last pin standing, B went to 'push e ball' too! haha. cos B insisted the way i push is wrong, like i have to apply even pressure from both arms. Zzz z.z... And ya, guess what? pushing the ball causes it to go longkang. ('x')

Yepz, that pretty much summarizes my very exciting dept outing. YooHoo! =D
