10, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1... Happy New Year!!!!!! 2006

31st dec

Time: 11.30am

damn.. (wat a word to start things off.. ) ok.. im supposed to be at the salon by noon.. n yet im still at home, rushing to get ready.. damn.. im always late.. (maybe i shall include another new year resolution --> to be punctual for appointments - social n personal ones, not just for work appts..)

Time: 1 pm.. Location : bukit gombak hair salon

Here i am sitting in a cosy salon environment.. attended by a sweet looking punk gurl part-timer.. dis is the first time in 3 years since ive decided to go to the hairdreeser to revive my hair.. the thinning of my hair is worrying me.. so ive decided to let the profesionals handle it rather than having me to have my own hair treatment in the toilet :-)

so.. we had a good hair wash.. a nice layered cut.. a blessful protein hair treatment.. followed by hair straightening.. and VIOLA!! i look like .. err.. somewhat younger.. fresher.. ahh.. as long as my hair is healthy.. dats all that matters..

one thing different about the salon.. somehow u dun feel that ure at the salon.. ppl are chatty.. friendly.. yes... the women bitch (yesh.. makes life more interesting dun they??) and we were all happily watching 'pontianak' story 2.. (i dint noe pontinak can ride a horse for that matter.. the next thing u noe, these pontianaks will drive a lamborghini or 'jaguar' soon enuff.. yah..our directors are losing their sane and logic nowadays.

i even met my old school madrasah school mate.. wat a coincidence..

oh yah.. there was this small little naughty gurl, whose cheeks are as round as eggs, who came for a haircut with her granma before she sets out for nursery school next year..

u shud have seen her... she was so bubbly.. brave enuff to come to smell the protein cream that was on my hair.. extremely intrigue by the steam coming out from my head..tickling all the customers who were around.. hehe.. she can barely sit still for a haircut.. but trust me.. after the haircut.. she looks even more adorable.. liek a little china doll with puffed-up cheeks.. hehe

its nice to be in a place where u feel rite at home.. maybe that's how u forged a bond with your hairdressers huh?

Time: 3 pm.

Ok.. 3 pm.. not bad i took 2 hours on my hair.. hehe..


Time: 7.30 pm... location: jurong swimming complex

Here i am sitting with ain selling countdown tickets at the front most gate.. aisha.. always up to sumthing on every new year eve's.. well this tym we are volunteering again with yuhua c.c. (yes.. helping kak mus out again..) the only difference this tym... we had another partner to help us out.. our old uni fren ..mustafa.. hehe.. of all the times to have him around.. but it was fun.. just having him around make me felt as though i was there for an MS event instead.. it seems that we were doing what information counter ppl should do instead of selling tickets.. ah-mahs, ah-peks.. pakcik..makcik.. ah-chis.. we were all directing them to the goodie bag counter.. something the cc should have foresee.. lack of direction sign boards.. heh..


Time: 11 pm

here we are at al- majlis.. happily enjoying my crispy chicken.. yummy..
new year's celebration dint turn out to be as 'happening' as i expect it to be.. except the usual entertainment by a rather stiff bellydancer.. and not-tht- bad vocalist ..

well.. i tink the kids had more fun than we do .. partying with all the poppers and mini trumpets and not forgetting their 'sprays' and funky party hats.. worn by the adults too.. hehe..

Time: 1 am

home sweet home...

"2005, a year filled with many happy and also sad moments. Whatever mistakes were done then, cannot be undone. Whatever bitterness of life we experience, we keep it only as a lesson in life. May 2006 will bring us closer even with our difference. May we learn to care and share. May we forgive and forget. May we cherish our loved ones throughout our lives. Hope the new year ahead will help us appreciate life with lots of love, faith, hope and dignity."
