Posh

Yesterday,sis and me went for haircut.Today,it is A.Amelia's turn.Because i am now into blogging about places to go for haircut,she was kind enough to try a new place so that i can have a blog material.

After the usual breakfast,sending Alyssa and fetching the boys,we decided to go on our little adventure,salon shopping.

At first we thought of going to DZE but don't know why we ended up at this place called Posh.After the bridge at Pekan Cina,turn left at the traffic light.It is located somewhere in there (I will try to get the precise location the next time i go).

This salon has been in operation for 2 years (Imagine,I didn't know it existed until yesterday when i saw the small sign board).Their business hours are from 11am-8pm,everyday except Monday.The place looks new,modern and quite professional.The atmosphere inside is nice,not too crowded and intimidating..comfortable and relaxing.

So,i assumed for a place like that,the price will be around RM30 or more for a haircut.But when i went in and checked out the price list for the services they provided,it is actually very reasonable (maybe cheap too).For a cut and wash under the director,it was only RM25 (compare that to what i had yesterday *regretting*).A.Amelia said the wash is one of the best she had and the hairdresser took her time to snip.Not that she takes a VERY LONG time,just long enough for you to feel that your $$$ is worth it.

The people there are friendly too.Some salons especially with young hairdressers,they tend to be a little proud but this place,they are generally okay.Besides that,they also talk when necessary only.What do i mean by necessary...They will ask what you want and maybe suggest some styles for you but they don't really promote their services that much.I dislike it when all they talk about the entire time is 'you should do this','you should buy that' or 'your hair looks dry and this and that..i think you need this treatment and that'.It is okay to promote a little but not the entire time when you are doing or when you have said that you don't want it.So,this is another plus point for Posh.They talk when they need to,do not promote their products and services but at the same time,they are still nice.

Other than that,what i like about this place is that there is not much waiting.There are 5 seats and 5 hairdressers (2 directors and 3 stylist) and that means when you are seated,you are sure to be served in awhile.Comparing that to many salons nowadays where they have 8 seats and only 3 hairdressers.Having a seat doesn't mean you will be served in a short while.Sometimes you might even have to wait for an hour or more.So,this place is good in a way that there is not much waiting when you are already seated.

Finally,they serve you drinks if you choose the director.It is just something different from what the normal salons in AS would do.So,if you are one who is always thirsty when you go to a salon,then this is the place to go =)

So....i will rate this place 4/5 just from wathching.I will rate it again when i have a haircut.

A&J

Three months since i last had a haircut.Usually i will go after a month or two cos my hair becomes flat very fast.But,then seems like it is TOO frequent.And that is why i ended up with 3 months this time.

Where did i go this time for a haircut...Wanted to try DZE but had to wait for an hour and i have dance class at 6.30pm so decided to go to another place.

SO....Finally,went to A&J at Taman Badlishah.Bro went there once and the outcome was quite okay for the price.That is why i decided to give it a try there.The salon looks okay,not as nice as Line1 or Jimmy&Guys though.There was no one when sis and me went.Sis went first and then me.The guy paid a lot of attention to what we wanted,the length especially.After getting the length right,usually they will layer and snip a lot to get the shape and all.BUT this guy didn't do much.What i noticed about mine was that..he took the fringe and cut to the length.Then, the rest into 4 sections and cut that to the length.And the back again into sections and cut a little.And then..WA LA.Done!It took...the most 10 minutes.

IMAGINE!TEN MINUTES to cut a girl's hair.Usually it will take at least,minimum..30 minutes.The haircut was okay..but then i didn't like paying RM25 for less than 10 times he used the comb and taking so fast to finish it.As though he had not done anything and feels like i can ask my mum to give me that cut.

For those who wants a really quick haircut and doesn't mind the price..then this is the place to go.He follows exactly the length you want him to cut (unlike Line1).So..it is okay for me,but i would want someone who spends a little more time on my hair for that price.

No updates

There has not been any updates about my dance lately because i didn't attend my class.Not because i didn't want to attend but because i was stuck in Penang and had to miss them.I am actually SO looking forward to going this week.

I had my Moral exam on Friday..so had to stay back in Penang from Wednesday until Friday.I can't be driving back to AS just for my dance.It will be too much especially on my parents' pocket as i am now driving back EVERY WEEK.So,that was the best solution.



The other day,when i was out wth my friends,the dance uncle called.He is really so sweet.He asked me how i was with my dancing and the hip movement,whether i was improving,learning new steps..and also wished me good luck in dancing (I need a lot of luck especially in learning those tough moves).I was so touched..It is not always that people remember you like that.I wished him all the best in the surgery he is going to undergo and hope that he will recover fast so that he can come dancing with me again.

He underwent his surgery last Friday.Hope that everything is fine.Do you think it is okay for me to give him a call now?Or wait for awhile more,let him rest?Hm....

A day around Penang with friends

This is the first week (i think) i am in Penang on Sunday.And it so happens that,Esther,Erny and OKC are free.So,they decided to come down to jalan-jalan.

I had to leave around 10.30am to fetch them from the jetty.It took me some time even though there is the new expressway because I didn't know how to get to that.Ended up going through town which was not that jammed but there were a lot of traffic lights.Luckily,i reached just in time.

After picking them up,went to Tanjung Bungah because Esther wanted to collect some shells.The weather was not that sunny,so thought that it would be better to go there first.The beach was quite okay.Only a few people were there.So..walked,collected shells and took photos.Everything was so nice until we got sand stuck to our slippers and the unexpected wave that made OKC and Esther wet.Took us some time to clean up after the walk.

Around 12pm,we went for lunch at New World Park.Ice kacang,fruit juices,pei tee,loh bak,fried kuey teow and fried belacan rice and fruits..

Next stop was the temple.Erny said she wanted to go so we did a quick stop there.She and OKC went to pray while Esther and me walked a little round and then sat in the car to sembang.

Then,it was to the Botanical Garden.Admission is free but the ride on the tram was not.RM2 for adult and RM1 for kid..which is quite reasonable i think.Walked around for awhile,took some photos and then took the ride to get an overall view of the garden.The tram was really,very slow.Anyone can walk faster than it.

It was around 2pm when we came out of that place.Everyone was a little tired.What is the second best thing to do besides sleeping for girls?So..there we were at Queensbay.Shop after shop we went in.Ranking of who spent the most: Esther,Erny,me,OKC..

Finally,makan place..Fruit juice,longan drink,fried kuey teow,laksa,hokkien mee,egg tart.

After eating,sent them to the jetty to take a bus from Butterworth while i headed back to aunt's house.

I was SO TIRED and i am sure they were too.Everyone should have no problem going to sleep yesterday cos i surely didn't have it.I was out before I realised it.

*Hope that you guys enjoyed yourselves..cos i surely did.It is fun to do something different sometimes.See you guys in AS during Raya..*

Grandma's birthday

We celebrated my grandma's birthday in Butterworth this year.Had dinner at Kim Hee Restaurant.Many of my relatives turned up so it was quite a big gathering.Food was okay though the servings were a little small.Overall,it was fun as we got to catch up with each other on what has happened.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH MA...
You are a really wonderful and great grandmother,
And we love you so much.

SP

Friday...the usual morning breakfast with A.Amelia.Remembered that today was A.Praba's birthday so decided to do a little surprise for her.

After lunch and sending Daniel and bro,we headed for Sayang to get the cake and then...off we went to SP.It rained the whole way but we still made it day.No rain will stop this crazy bunch from doing what we want =)

There we were in front of her house at 4pm.When sis called her to ask her to open the gate,she did not believe that we were really there until she looked outside.SURPRISE!


Trying on her new exercise machine..actually more of shaking machine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY..AUNTY PRABA!

Hope you enjoyed the little surprise..

Miko eating meat

This morning,i had to feed Miko,my pet tortoise.What i will usually do is,pluck a leaf from the jambu tree as his plate,put the meat on it and then wait for him to eat if my dogs are out.The dogs will try to steal his food,so i had to be there till he is done,like today.

Dinner and dance

I am actually VERY LAZY to blog about the dinner and dance i went.So,will just write a summary of it..ok?

Before...was a disaster as i was in a rush and was sweating nonstop.Then,went to fetch A.Molly and off to the restaurant.Luckily there was still a lot of parking space.Then..found our table,sat there,listened to people karaoke-ing and smiled at a few people from my dance class.

Then..the dinner and dance started.The food was okay only.As for dance,there were three performances..cha cha,belly dance and jive.The rest was open dance floor.

I danced with one of my sir square rhumba and cha cha and with an uncle,cha cha.Those two dances are quite popular so the dance floor was quite crowded.Had to be careful where i turn and take the next step.Did bump into people a few times and it is so scary,just in case i fall or something like that.

So..overall,the dinner and dance was okay only.I expected more from it so was quite disappointed.

*I need to learn more dance steps*

Result day

Yesterday...the results came out.I had class in the morning..so you can imagine how much i could concentrate during the 2 hours.The lecturer let us off before 1pm..and guess where we headed for lunch.Mcd where there is wifi.

First thing we did at Mcd was,take out the laptop and wake it up from sleep (ya..we already turned it on while on the way to Mcd).Sis checked hers first.THE WAITING was horrible.Results came out and she failed her Tax.She was so upset and i,on the other hand was getting VERY WORRIED that i will fail to.It was my turn next.The long wait again..The results came out and i passed all my papers.I was so glad.The rest of my friends were checking theirs too.

So..that's a little about how and what my results were for the last semester.I hope that it will be good news again for this semester.Gonna have to STUDY HARD cos ACCA sure is tough.

Tomorrow

My results will be out tomorrow.
Hope that i pass all my papers.
If i do,then i will be the HAPPIEST person for the day.
If i don't,hope that Penang won't flood.
I have no plans what-so-ever if i were to fail.
So,wishing and praying VERY HARD that i won't fail.
