Hair Cut!

This morning, woke up and check my email. After that, I was playing with my guitar and then, Gek Teng came at about 11am. She told me to play guitar for her. So, I did. After that, Reeda called and said she was going to pick us up now. Reeda arranged long ago to meet up with me and I told her if I could bring 2 more SIngaporean wives along. She was happy to have them join as she is a really nice lady and like to know more about Singapore as well as she will be going to Singapore at the end of July..for about 2 plus months.

Reeda is a lady from church who plays the french horn in the orchestra band. The church I attend has a small orchestra band. We went to "The American Cafe" for lunch. Jan met us there. We had a great time talking about Singapore. As we talk, it makes me so proud of Singapore. I had cajun chicken salad for lunch as I did not want to eat sandwiches or pasta. I do not want to feel so full. Some of them ordered pasta and could not finish their food. After our talk, Reeda sounds really excited to be there. Hope we did not paint too good a picture of Singapore that she will be disappointed. Ha. After our main dish, Reeda ordered a huge dessert where we all shared. It is melted marshmallows with some part roasted with melted choc and vanilla icecream with biscuits in it. It is very nice and amazing.

Lunch was a treat by Reeda. After that, she sent us back to our apartments. Half an hour later, me and Gek Teng went for a swim, taking advantage of the nice sunny weather. The water was just nice-not too hot & not too cold. After swimming 26 laps (in a probably 20m pool), we had a short sun tan. Yes, I am a bit tanner now. It was a great swim..Went back to bathe and then, I went over to Gek Teng's house to return her something and to tell her where "Church's Chicken" is as she feels like going there tonight. "Church's Chicken" has the best fried southern Chicken so far. So I recommended it to her.

Spent time at her place talking and watching TV. She was also playing "Neopets" (games online)which again, I influenced her and got her hooked up. I am such a bad influence. Glad she and her husband think otherwise-her husband is just so glad his wife now will not get bored!

Angeline joined us later at Gek Teng's house as I guess she was also bored. Today, me and Gek Teng usually go for grocery shopping and our husbands will take us out for dinner. So, it is our day off from cooking. Angeline still cooks. James seldom bring her out as she seems picky in what she eats, so she'd rather cook. I usually go out on Wed with my hubby and Teck Meng. Teck Meng is a funny guy and we are quite close to him.

So, when they came back, we went grocery shopping and then, went to "Cici's Pizza" for dinner. It is a pizza buffet where they always top up freshly baked hot pizzas! It is so fresh as they just took it out from the oven. Pizza tastes really nice when the cheese is melted hot and bread still crispy. There were usually sausage pizza, pepperoni pizza, just cheese pizza, egg and cheese pizza, ham egg and cheese pizza, spinach pizza, hawaiian pizza, spicy pepperoni pizza. My favourite was the ham egg and cheese. They actually crack an egg on the pizza with ham and cheese. Very nice. They also have salad bar and pasta. All for the price of US$5! Which is about S$8! Very reasonable as if I go pizza hut to eat, it will be more expensive...and the food is limited. However, this was buffet so we ate and ate and leave all the crust at the end as that will be too filling. I had about 10 pizzas. They have dessert pizzas too-apple pie dessert.

After dinner, went back and watched "American Idol".My favourite is finally out. It is so strange cos Anthony had great comments from the judges while the girls sang badly. But he was out. Sigh...Anthony is great and he has been through a lot. He went through many throat surgeries when he was young and the doctor told him that he may not be able to speak, let alone sing! That is why he keep saying that this is an American Dream for him. That is why despite whatever circumstances, we have to be hopeful and think positively.

After watching TV, CT told me that he needed a hair cut. I excitedly told him that I could cut for him as I always wanted to try cutting people's hair!! *Muahahaha* (evil laughter). So, I laid newspapers and he sat in it and I just cut. I did not know how to start..and we were both laughing as I was really lost at what to do. But after starting, I kind of gotten the hang of it and begin to visualise myself as a pro. So, I just kept snipping away! His hair went on to my shirts and pants. Oh well..it was messy! After that, I had to use his shaver to cut some parts...it was tough. Take a look at the finished product.

I think CT would not want me to do again after how messy it was with hair all over the floor and how troublesome it was. I wanted to do it as the hair cut here is expensive and some of the colleagues had a hair cut and it turnout out a disaster.

Just had a hair cut by ME!
