5 May, 2008 - Curly hair day

Took leave today with Fenn to perm our hair in Bugis :) Went with dar to Chinatown and had breakfast alone at Macdonald's cos he was already late for work..if only we could have breakfast together hmmm drats after drinking a cup of coke, i felt unwell. No good to drink cola early in the morning..

Left Chinatown at 9.30am and took the train to Bugis. The morning train crowd at this timing were mostly tourists, retired couples and kids. I felt like an "one day" unemployed young adult wandering about aimlessly hahaha But i was thinking to myself...if taking train rides could lead one to discover one's aspirations and dreams then WOW...life would be a whole lot simpler with a few less lost souls. Like the saying goes,"there is light at the end of every tunnel."

The train ride is my muse for my thoughts on true financial freedom today. I think true financial freedom is when our money is working hard for us rather than us working too hard for our money. Investments, shares, trading, unit trusts, fixed deposits etc etc etc not us chalking up enough work hours in an office cubicle :)

Anyway, got to Bugis at 9.45am and walked around the complex twice. None of the boutiques were opened and after walking two rounds, my feet were tired and they walked all the way to Ah-Kun for a cup of kopi-O. Kopi-O was served in an cup plus saucer giving it an old school feel keke coke and kopi proved to be a perfect cure for constipation :p

Fenn was very punctual and both of us walked to Eddie's place for the much awaited perm hurray. 11am til 4.30pm...that's how long we sat in the salon without any food and toilet breaks, bless us both! Women are creatures of high threshold of "pee tolerance and hunger pangs" to any beauty related stunts. Fenn look like a Japanese doll with her curls :) but my hair look messy lei...untamed curls..and i am trying to flatten it abit hahaha women

After we are done with our hair, we had a very late lunch at MOS burger...and confessed to Edwin that we are happily eating together after a perm heehee

Took another train ride to Dhoby Ghaut to check out the ring shop and another ride to Chinatown to look for dar.

Went to CGH to visit Chee Wee and hear him described how doctors "drained" the pus in his throat arrrgghhh scary. Sent Bah Gay home and we headed home. Long day *yawn*
