overdue
i finally had a haircut!
woke up around noon, had my lunch and went to pacific mall ALONE. and what's worse is that pacific mall is a chinese mall that is far away from where i live. i haven't went there myself yet, so i was worried i would miss the bus-stop that i'm supposed to alight and get a transit. well i manage to reach the mall and go back home safely, without any mistakes.
i went to the salon for my haircut. surprisingly, there wasn't many people, which i thought there would be since it is still kind of a holiday. my hair was washed twice (one before the cut, and one after). the first wash, shampoo was used a total of 3 times! my god, i nearly fell asleep in that slightly inclined chair, with warm water flowing through my hair.
as my hair was being cut, i was kind of worried it wouldn't turn out the way i hope it will. but after the second hair wash, blow-dry and final touches, i was satisfied. my head feels so light now! i prefer haircuts by chinese hairdressers. they always know how to cut to suit one's style and face. unlike westerners, who always make my hair so short, and erm, the opposite of everything nice.
then i went to get a stick of curry fishball, and stood at a side as i ate. went around the shops. i saw a coat/hoodie, but it tagged at a price of $168 as it's imported from south korea. woa! the lady was giving me a price of $130. still woa! i left, and didn't return. i would 99% have bought it if she accepted my $100 offer. i went to other stores, but nothing really caught my eye.
one thing about shopping in asian/chinese places is that you never know if the items are fakes or if the prices are tagged high, so by the time they give discounts, they still earn alot.
i went back to don mills, and visited fairview mall, again. once again, i got nothing. so i came home. i helped roll 'tang yuan' balls! we added colours: blue, green, yellow and brown (from chocolate powder). red would have been nice, but we ran out of that colouring.
i know, the festival where we have 'tang yuan' (what's that called again?) was supposed to be on the december 22. but we just survived the exam period then. yippy, for we are going to have 'tang yuan' dessert!
got my long overdue haircut and made the overdue 'tang yuan'. hooray for free time! hooray for the holidays!
