Feminine wiles

My weekend has started! Almost la.

I've had my hair cut and my facial done - yippee! Less chores for the actual weekend. Now all that's left is a pedicure - always wanted one but never actually went to get one, because it just feels weird to have someone sitting at your feet and scrubbing them clean for you. But, you know there are certain phases in your life when you just feel you have to dye your hair red or buy that pair of super-expensive jeans or try a full body massage? Well, it's that phase in my life where I just have to see if a French pedicure does it for me.

Ok, all those sounded like it came straight from a brainless chick-lit novel. Too bad, I feel a little light-headed at the moment - because of my new haircut. It's not exactly new, just layered with a bit of bangs, like how it's always done. But it always feels good to get a good haircut, that makes your head feel lighter; and a good wash, that makes your scalp feel oh-so-clean. I'm beginning to like Razor Edge at 1U's old wing. Been there 3 times and had 3 different stylists, and this time, this stylist was good. I think men stylists treat me better than women ones do. Ok, that's not supposed to be some sexist remark, but it's true. Men stylists listen more to what you want and give good suggestions that don't turn out to be mistakes. And this particular stylist gave a really good wash - haha - 15 minutes of scrubbing and massaging my head, amazing fingers. Ok, better not get carried away. Anyway, the last really good stylist I had was at Jantzen in Mid Valley, who migrated to Australia after about a year, and although that place costs an arm and a leg, he's done quite amazing things to my hair. I've been on the trail for a good stylist ever since. This new stylist at Razor Edge seems rather too young - yes, experience counts when you're dealing with hair.

Today's also the first day at work, where I don't share a cubbie partition with anyone because she's left. Feels good that the competition's left, but I'm anticipating that I'll be bored soon enough without the competition. Hoping against hope that my boss digs up interesting stuff for me to do before my mind wanders.

The Gap store opened at 1U yesterday and I forgot to go check it out after my haircut. Heard that it's the place to go for a good pair of jeans, and yes I've been searching quite long for a well-cut one. I'm not one who's given to lying flat on the bed just to zip up skin-tight jeans. But I do want one that looks good, makes my legs that wee bit longer, slims my thighs, or better still, make me look like a super-model. Haha. Unless Gap jeans can do that, I doubt I'd be willing to fork out good money for them. It's the main reason why I've lived in my only pair of Levi's for so long.

Okay, back to work now ... only 2 more days before the 5-day Deepa-Raya holiday, yippee!
