THE SHIRT WAS BLACK

I SWEAR IT WAS.

and also, “hello my sweetmeat” and Szus crawling around making sheepy noises is TRES AMUSING I SAY. the rest of Arabian Nights pales with the bit about the cheating jester’s wife, which SADLY I MISSED because circumstances had me rushing to the toilet just before the second part of Act1 began.

okay basically we arranged to meet at KAP at 6.30: as usual, tim was early, jono was on time, and i called them at 6.30 to say “i’ll be late” O: on my arrival i gave them the shirts (jono, i srsly dare you to wear yours) and then we argued about what colour jono’s shirt was (IT WAS B-L-A-C-K) and then i ordered a $3.30 meal of cheeseburger and small fries :D and jono bought me a large green tea because “aren’t you going to be very dry?” but i’d gone toilet and when i came back THERE IT WAS.

anyway today i went to cut my hair! :D at essensuals evolution toni&guy, by a stylist called jonathan. it cost only $28!!! original price $35, student discount of 20%. which, according to my mom, is the same price that this guy at bukit timah shopping centre used to charge me for a haircut. at first when i called to book an appointment, the receptionist told me marcus would cut my hair, but when i got there jonathan came up and said “hi, i’m jonathan, i’ll be doing your hair today”, so i raised my eyebrow and said “the receptionist told me marcus would be doing it, actually”, causing some confusion because jonathan obviously thought i’d've preferred marcus, but in the end i told them it was my first time there and i was just clarifying :/

the cut was really good! except for some fringe issues): like at first jonathan only trimmed and layered off a bit of my fringe, but it was still sideswept and pretty long. it looked srsly good but my mom had told me to get rid of my fringe, so  he hemmed and hawed and finally gave me bangs. damn, because i defn think it looked tons better the first time around, with the sideswept fringe.

he said a lot of weird things lol like he complimented my hair texture (okay that’s not weird, according to most stylists my hair is like, super good to style with). and i gathered that his fave word is “edgy” because he kept on using it hahahaha. and he said “when you grow older, you become prettier, too” and i was like “uh huh” and he said “no really!” and i was like, “what, is that from self experience?” xD

then later i told him that even if my hair was suitable for the cuts in the Toni&Guy collection (i didn’t know hair salons had “collections”), my face wasn’t, and he said, “no lah, your features quite okay what. but anyway the hairstyle is meant to suit a person’s personality also. then by the way you speak to me you’re quite a fun person lor”

hahaha super amusing thanks. he was kinda cute himself, really. had this short fringe and short hair and glasses. in fact, looked mightily like the brother of one of the people i learned violin with last time, when i was still attending violin school.

well that’s about it-

EXCEPT MY DENTIST LASERCUT THE METAL BAR OUT OF MY MOUTH AND SHE LEFT THIS BIT OF METAL STICKING OUT. IT IS LACERATING MY TONGUE. i’m going to NUH tmr to get it fixed, thank God.

/edit Braces fixed. Tons better. The professor dude who saw me was from Japan and I couldn’t understand a word of what he was saying, given his very very very strong Jap accent. So I just “mhm-ed” my way through the entire thing.

Also, forgot to blog about The Smoke Machine! from Arabian Nights. It was super super amusing because after the big puffs of smoke that were supposed to be there, out came little ”farts” or smoke kindofthing, y’know. Jono kept elbowing me and going “SEE THERE IT IS AGAIN” in a very loud whispery voice. I mean, the first few times I didn’t catch it, but later, when I was like actively looking out for the extra smoke, it was pretty darn obvious.

during the show, after many extra smokethings:
Jono/Tim (I can’t remember who): “I bet it’s Kester operating the smoke machine lor”

after the show
Kester (and others) in his full glory: “Fuck Arabian Nights!” then,
“oh yeah you know the smoke machine? I was the one pressing the button button thing”
Jono/Tim: “OMG SEE I TOLD YOU”

As usual I’d nearly collapsed with  laughter. It’s all I seem to do when I see these guys. Laugh until my face turns red and have them staring at me going, “Look she’s turning steadily redder”, and, “Yeah I think she’s laughing too hard”.

I have two $5!  discount referral cards from Essensuals, off the already very Cheap! Student Price! of $28! discounted from the Original Price of $35! In case you are Clueless here’s the math done by my trusty genius brain:
(35 x 80/100) - 5 = $23!!!
Essensuals absorbs GST for us poor unfunded students, too!
PLUS PLUS if you go there with my referral card I get like, credit. So if both my ref cards get taken my next haircut will be $18!!! UNBELIEVABLE.

I have no idea why I’m plugging Essensuals but maybe it’s because I suddenly have this unfounded totally physical crush on my stylist. Something about the glasses. And the fingers. I’m defn going back there. Srsly (coming from a self-declared salon-hopper, mind). Also, their hair skills are muchly there and worth the $23.

GO GO GO (Keshia this means you)!
