Bad hairstyle
I took the plunge and [let the hairdresser] snipped off my bangs. I look like a freak now. Perhaps that’s a little too exaggerating, I guess, but with so many friends saying they prefer my previous hairstyle, it’s making the bad haircut worse. =/ For those anticipating a new photo of me and my new, shorter [and slanted] bangs and tresses, my apologies, there won’t be any. Went out with Meifang [who has to work on Saturdays] to Funan the IT Mall for a $16.80 haircut at Kimage, which turned out to be quite disastrous for the both of us after all.
On my way there, I heard this percussion troop playing with their drums, and went forward to take a look as well as a photo. Anyone knows where this group came from? They were quite good at it! I could never get my tempo right if I were given a set of drums to play with. =P
Settled our dinner at VienTai, a vietnamese restaurant right smacked in the middle of Marina Square’s second floor [I think]. For once, I was the one who gave the directions [for those not in the know: I'm a directional idiot] to the eating places as well as the theatre.
Initially we wanted to catch a movie, but the timing was way too off for our liking. In the end we decided to take the expensive speed bus 502 home. 1.5 hours isn’t exactly speedy, so to speak. I’m seriously losing touch on my movies, and when they are scheduled to launch.
I understand how irritating it must be for my friends when I’m earning an income [when some of them are jobless], yet I’m complaining of the little expenditure like watching movies, taking express buses and such, but I don’t totally abstain from what I call, "miscellaneous expenditure". Miscellaneous being, that it can be avoided if need be.
Just feeling a little weary of the increased bus fares, movie prices and the like, while my pay is fixated to be the only unchanged variable.

Saw this pair of "robots" at Millenia Walk the other day. Found them to be quite professional, albeit the lunch partner’s blatant criticism that they did a bad job. Give them a break, will ya?
Heard from the radio regarding this pair from Thailand, performing at Millenia Walk for a limited time only. Not exactly sure what the performance is all about, though.
It’s ironical when you have manufacturers [especially from Japan or the USA] trying to personify robots, and here we have humans trying to mimick the jerky movements of the robots. It seems to teach us a certain moral: to be yourself. =)

News bite: Anyone interested in breaking a world record for Singapore? Be at Tampines Primary School by 2.30pm next Sunday, 24th July. Regina please confirm the details! There would be 4,500 balloons for participants to burst, unfortunately, each person is limited to one balloon only.
The Guinness Record for this section is 2,500 balloons bursted in 10 seconds with bare hands, so Singapore wants to try to break this record.
This is organised by the Soka Organisation and I’m contemplating to partake, all in the name of fun. =) Anyone interested?
