♥hair model

My hair is NO LONGER A VIRGIN.

Hahaha, did I shock you with the big and bold words?

I finally had my hair dyed for the first time, at the Loreal Academie. We were all actually gonna be MODELS, for the very first time. There was Amanda, Fiona, Jon and I, but Jon only came for the second day. This whole thing was introduced to my stylo milo friend, Geraldina. Hahahaha. SO COOL LOR! I was totally fascinated by everything in the place, and the whole idea of us being models.

DAY 1:

We had to go down to the Academie at One Neil Road, but we had no idea how to get there. I was slightly late, but decided not to risk being late for this sort of thing, so I took a cab down, and picked Fiona up halfway at Chinatown Point. It cost me around 17bucks for about a 15-20 minute trip, sheesh! Amanda somehow managed to find her way, and hey! She's not so dumb at directions after all! We went up to the Academie and Eddie introduced himself, together with Kate, to do up our hair. We initially thought Kate was very unfriendly, but in fact, she's actually very very nice! The first day was supposed to be the preparation day, whereby they will dye or highlight our hair, for the Seminar on the second day. There was a breakfast buffet, so we went to take some food. As we took the food, we spotted goodie bags. We did something that we should be discreet about. Heehee.

Hairstylists preparing "wigs" for the seminar.

Our crazy aluminium hair, and my first time!

We so cute and small right! HAHAHAA.

I was told that my hair would have blonde highlights, and I might have to go back looking abit like an Ah Lian, good thing I brought my cap out! Amanda had her hair highlighted with brown streaks, and Fiona with dark brown streaks. While waiting for our turn to wash our hair, all of us were doing last minute mugging, because Amanda and I had paper in the late afternoon! When my hair was washed and let down, Amanda and Fiona was shocked. But when it was being blown dry and combed, it actually looked quite nice! Something new, a very different style for me! It looked weird for awhile, but the longer we look at it, it's actually quite nice. Hahaha. After we were done for the day, Fiona went to meet her friend, whilst Amanda and I dragged our feet back to school, to take the stupid paper. Friends had both positive and negative comments about my hair. There were more positive remarks, because they found it cool. Hahaha. But really what, while you are young, you should try every kind of style, why be so boring?
At least I'm willing to experiment, not like some people who are so stagnant, and have fucking alot of stupid comments about others, when they don't even look at themselves before they talk.

End of preparation! Can't really see the colours in our hair.

Look at the toilet signs!

After the paper, I went to Island Creamery with Weijie, Amanda, and Jon, to cheer the fatty up. Hahaha. Weijie really liked my current hairstyle at that point of time, and kept asking me to runaway on the second day so I could keep the same hairstyle. Damn cute lah he, still say willing to pay for me to go and highlight my hair. You said it already!

My highlighted hair!

DAY 2:

I woke up damn on time, but Daddy had problems doing things on his own, because he has been experiencing great pain. So I had to help him with simple chores, before I went off. So I was slightly late again. I got on the train, and got off Tanjong Pagar instead of Outram Park. I initially thought I was lost, but managed to find my way with some directions from a guy playing PSP as he walked. I actually reached the doorstep of the Academie right to the dot on time, I was even faster than Jon and Fiona! Amanda was going to be late, but she soon came.

We went to the room where the class was going to be held, and bye bye to my highlighted hair. Eddie clipped all our hairs, and we looked hilarious! Amanda looked the most retarded, couldn't stop laughing at her. The class was being filled in with I suppose Hairdressers, and the class soon started. They talked about the Matrix products they were going to use on our hair, and I was the first to go up. Eddie was going to dye my hair Jet Black Violet, like under the sunlight my hair would have a reflective purple colour, otherwise it would look like just shiny black. Before he dyed my hair, he asked the audience to come and TOUCH my hair. Eddie thinks he's damn funny lor, he said, "Only can touch the hair, cannot touch below." It felt damn weird, when everyone suddenly crowds around me, and starts to touch my hair. I could hear my three friends giggling at the side. They also had their fair share lah. After Eddie used the Dye, he asked everyone to come forward to SMELL my hair. Waliao, this is even weirder man, people were sniffing my head, like as if I was a dish of food. After me was Fiona, then Jon, and lastly Amanda. After my time was up, Kate brought me to wash my hair. She washes your hair like as if you are in a Spa, very shiok one! I had a little chat with her, and she's seriously very nice. I was the first to be done, and this time, Eddie asked everyone to look at my hair. People came forward and started tugging and pulling my hair, to try and see if there was a reflective purple under the light. Yes it did. Then there were people trying to take PICTURES of my head. HAHAHA. It really tickles my funny bone.

Fiona's hair so cool right. Amanda's was even nicer but didn't get to take a picture of it.

There was a lunch buffet this time, for another seminar for Kerastase Paris, and when we went over to Kope the food, the people there were very well-dressed and the place was grander and classier than the room we were in. Food wasn't that great, and we had already planned to eat Dim Sum Buffet. Hahaha. Before we went off, we took some Lipton Tea and Coffee packets as door gifts, and we had an additional goodie bag which consisted of Shampoo for our newly coloured hair. Hee hee.

The wide-spread of buffet lunch.

Aftermath again!

A picture with Kate and Eddie!

The four of us walked over to Chinatown, and I discovered that Chinatown has a great resemblance to Stanley Street in Hong Kong! Amanda, Fiona and I had been trying to find the geeky spectacles that are the in-thing now, and we were so bent on finding it! Weijie came down to meet me, so I went to find him whilst the rest went to China Square or wherever that place was. We met back at China Square, where the three of us girls bought for ourselves really cute and cheap Hair rubberbands. It was time for some Dim Sum because it was already time. As we walked back through the stalls, we spotted a shop with many sunshades. And Ta-dah! We found three geeky spectacles, just nice for the three of us. So happy man, we kept wearing it for the whole entire day.

The bunch of nerds.

We entered Tian Jin restaurant at Pagoda Street (Just outside Chinatown MRT), and it was dim sum feasting time with my Buffet gang.Hahahaha. "Happy happy dim sum steaming in a pot!" We ordered from the wide range of variety, and most of it was Prawns, where we ate until we grew sick of it. However, the Mango Prawn was ultra nice. It was so worth our 17bucks per pax man. After the buffet, we all went our seperate ways, and Weijie and I took a bus down to VivoCity.

Look at the variety of food!

Our mantou creation.

I'm talking champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
