I've been wanting to do this post for ages, but I never managed to find the time. Till now.
Well, basically, everybody and his dog knows that I got a major haircut in the last month. The same questions regarding my hair have been asked of me, so I thought I would compile them into this post.
Top Ten FAQs Regarding My Hair
1. Did you rebond it?
Yes, I went for soft rebonding, otherwise it would be pouffy and weird.
2. What made you get this hairstyle?
I've been wanting the Chinadoll-bangs for ages, plus I wanted to hack off all the old, dried-out hair, so it ended up like this.
3. Can I touch it?
Go ahead. It's not a wig.
4. What happens when you wear your helmet?
It depends. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes it'll just stick out at the ends and end up looking sixties.
5. What did your boyfriend say? [Hey, relatives have asked me that!]
Well, he wasn't thrilled, to say the least. Haha.
6. Do you miss your old hair?
No I don't.
7. What shampoo do you use?
Some unknown antidandruff shampoo they gave me at the salon, which doesn't seem to work anyway.
8. You look like Cleopatra.
Thanks.
9. You look like CleoFATra.
Thanks.
10. Isn't it hot?
Yes, as a matter of fact, it gets hot under the bangs. But ohwell. Small price to pay.
Bonus Question: How much did it cost?
Don't ask.
I write about my current obsessions and social issues I'm passionate about. Get inside the head of this Perempuan Giler Namun Tetap Fun.

I had one of my now-rare train rides to work the other day, and I was just busying myself with photos when a set of the MRT Unit walked in at Tampines! Ahhh. Have always loved them. Haha. What were the odds, anyway?
Attended my cousin-in-law's [it's complicated] nikah on Saturday. The dude she's marrying is a Young Lion, so a bunch of Young Lions descended upon the home, in addition to the assortment of relatives from all sides. Eye candy galore, even though I have no interest in the game whatsoever. They kept to themselves, mostly, but the best part was when Hello-Kitty-lookalike [I don't wanna put his real name here for fear of being Googled, I really don't want this to get around] came out of the house and salamed ALL the datuks and pakciks before he left! I was SOOOOOOO awed, and my opinion of him just made an about-turn. In addition to being hot and famous, he's also respectful! How perfect can you get?
Okay enough gushing. I'm sure Nat knows who I'm talking about. Everyone else can ask me personally if you wanna know.
Life back at work has been all right. Yesterday there was a cute guy, maybe late twenties, who chatted to me while I made his hot chocolate. "Sekarang memang tak ramai orang eh?"/"So you get paid hourly right?"/etc. And Bernie and Dan were both around. Well it's just nice to see friendly faces.
Like that Malay dude the other day who insisted I speak to him in Malay cos he feels more comfortable conversing in Malay. But when I used that tactic on his friends, they responded in English. Macam-macamlah.
It hit me last night, how much I'm going to miss LT. Every aspect of working at LT. Parking at Angullia Park/LT multistorey, going to BK, visiting the DBS Autolobby.. It begins to hurt. Belum genap satu tahun, and you decide to close on me! Sedihnyer.
Anyway it's almost a given that the two of us will be at One Fullerton, which is some consolation.
Okaybye!

Life's been just peachy, Alhamdulillah.
I went to PS the other night and met with some trouble parking Baby in the tiniest space imaginable. This cute mat Gilera was watching at first with a sympathetic smile on his face. Then as I started to sweat, he gave me helpful instructions. But that didn't go over too well either, so he said, "Nak saya tolong?" and I gushed, "Oh ya thanks!" before the words were even halfway out his lips.
So he got on the bike with good grace, and parked it beautifully for me. I didn't really see how he did it cos I was too busy looking down at his peach/pink sneakers. And no, no number-exchanging. I poured out words of gratitude, he said no-problem, and zoomed off.
But he was cu-uuuute.
That night was another Simpang night, and while on the way home, I was just thinking, Haaa last time roadblock kat sini.. Sekali I realised there was some sort of jam going on, and a few metres down I realised it was a roadblock. My third, btw. This was a selective roadblock again, so I thought they stopped all P-plates but no, after stopping me and Amin, they let this P-plate Phantom go!!!
Okay takper, I just surrendered the necessary documents and stuff. But even after they were done with Amin, they weren't done with me. I panicked inwardly, cos I was wondering whether it had something to do with the Lim Chu Kang roadblock. But the malay dude who was handling my stuff said to me, "Sorry eh, pasal kat license ader tunjuk 3A, tapi biler I screen takder 3A.." I shrugged it off, since I wasn't in a hurry or anything, and I had fun looking around at the other stopped vehicles. But inside I was thinking, "..biler I screen.." ke pe.. Haha. And there was a car that was stopped on suspicion of drink-driving. SO COOL.
Sorry, I'm of the train-wreck mentality.
Today we watched JPB [it's really Atikk's fault that I'm scared now] with Hanom, Natasha and friends. TOO FUN, espesh the noisy makcik infront who was discussing the plot with her husband who was two seats away.

[backlog from last week]
My Lonerguy Mood is joyous.
My MBB Mood is rindu.
Exam Week has been pretty good so far. Studying at DTE--Pizza Hut mats, Boy [who asked me, "Bawak moto ape?"], and a smattering of Wild Wild Wet mats. Three glorious exams with Lonerguy. The last of which featured him kitty-corner to me. And which ended off with a not-so-romantic lunch at SP. Hehe.
Nights at Simpang. Lovely lovely lovely. Abang Fakrul and cute Faizal with the glasses and of course, Atikk's very own Abang Apoi. HAHA. And the assorted cute guys. I <3 Simpang so much it's not even funny.
Mechanic's hot as usual. Paid him the regular monthly visit, and Nat very kindly took a photo for me--which is still in her phone, unfortch. And the next night he sent me a goodnight forward. Hehe. Cute lah that one. So quiet and unassuming.
I've been faithfully returning to DTE, hoping to see Boy again, but no go. I'm not giving up, though.
I lovelovelove my new hair. Some people now have the illusion that I'm cute! *jumps around*

Bye bye Studio 1!
In 2018, I was heading to Zumba class when I saw "The Brass Barre" printed on the directory of the same building. Immediately in...
