Finally got my hair coloured yesterday..alwyn brought us to his mum's hairstylist at tanjong pagar...she's quite old but very very professional...the place is very cosy and she made us feel very comfortable..we were the only customers and she started talking to us the moment we stepped in...throughout the time we were there, we had lessons on bleaching, hair colouring and hair styling...she's definitely not lk the usual hair stylist that we normally go to...we even started talking abt university studies in U.S. and she mentioned abt her son and her customers...we got a shock when we knew some of her customers include high profile personnals and president scholars...

She's really very different..and we got to know her better after 3 hours there...a highly educated lady whose been to U.S..not the usual aunties but more of a refined person..she prob did hairstyling out of passion and love..that explains why we were charged so so cheap for the service..only $20 for cut, wash and bleach...I really do admire her from a certain perspective..someone who can definitely achieve much more with her abilities but choose to open a hair salon in a nostalgic part of tanjong pagar..happy and contented with her little shop..doing things out of pure interest and out of satisfaction of doing new looks out of her customers...

Its really amazing to find someone lk her in a remote corner of Singapore where few pple pass by and needless to say, few yg pple around...where mostly older folks roam ard the mostly old shops which prob had been there for decades...its really a different experience for me yesterday and we gladly stayed there for at least 3 full hours...a place far away from orchard where yg pals hang out..and that reminds me I still have not visited some parts of Singapore which I had wanted to explore..places where its glorious days had passed and only thing left behind is history...I still believe I had many parts of the bras basah area still left unexplored...

Ok..need to go out already..tmr is the day and I’m looking forward to it...
