I can't help but let you know



Hey there girl. Seeing you reading this now means you have already clicked on the link I provided on your inbox. How are you doing today? Must be another wonderful day right? (^_^)  It's another tiring day for me if you would ask me. Tired and miserable legs..Awuuu. . .

So,

Are you wondering why do I lead you here? The answer is simply. The inbox is too complicated plus it's too darn long to read. (Hahaha....I'm just joking) I just thought It would be easier for me to get it done over here instead of the inbox.

I am not good in putting words together but I will  just make it simple. 
Remember couple of days back then, I was thinking to telling you something ?
Yea... That's right, you remember it. So, yeap...I was contemplating should I say it or whatsoever. But I guess I'll just say it. (>\\\<)

I found myself thinking...yea.. I mean THINKING or maybe having thoughts about you. Funny enough... There is this girl who worked across the place I worked, and she looks exactly like you in a glance(after a long run finding out why was she so familiar to me). As day passed by, glance by glance and glance again, she reminds me of someone I knew back in my friend but I just couldn't figure out who was that. Why does this girl image appears in my mind? Clueless. . . .

So,

I started scrolling on each and everyone of my friend list account hoping to find an answer until I stopped by at your timeline, clicked on your pictures and scrolled few photos and I found the answer.

The image of the girl that keeps appearing in my mind for this long time was actually YOU(that's right, it was you) I found out about this even before we started talking on the chat room and so on. It really amaze me at some point. Why was your image deeply resided in me. . . ? ?

I didn't bother too much about it back then since I only wanted to find out who was it. Life goes on as usual for me, Seeing her everyday reminds me of you again and again and again. Until...  something... seems to grew inside of me. I would say....my feelings towards that image(which is YOU). Sadly enough I am not confident to take any action as I have no idea what's the status on the other side.

By chance, I saw your post at FB saying "thank's for wasting my five months time" ...I was like, oh dear, that post sounded really ughh(know what I mean?) I thought I would pop by and lend you a comfort as a friend in the list. Didn't know how would you reacted too. Surprisingly, you gave me a pleasant feel. The warm feeling that don't happen often (laugh)

Well, from there it begins my conversation with you...

I just wanna to tell you that, I HAVE LIKEN YOU EVEN BEFORE I MET YOU.(which is weird eh)
Sounds cheesy? Hahaha... don't get me wrong girl. Because I am not trying to. I guess it would be better for me to get off this inside me instead of keeping it. I would never know what would happen to me tomorrow. So, yea.... I like you~ (>,<)
And I am telling it to you.

Henkel Singapore (color re-launching)

 

Yuhuu... It's my very first visit to Schwarzkopf Technical Centre. It's basically located at Commonwealth Mrt. Today's lesson is about the re-launching of the Schwarzkopf Essensity Color range. Nothing major to learn. Just some short brief of the color and the improvement.

 

So, here we go. Lesson starts at 10.00.Arrived to my designated place at 9.45. That's the Haw Par Technocentre. The Henkel Singapore is based inside this building. 

 




Yea, It's rather a small education and technical centre compared to L'oreal.



Decent product on the shelf.






 (Quickie) XD



Pass of the Henkel Office.


This ain't my classroom(hahaha). It's the conference room for the people who is working here. 


Yeap. That's the new color range they are re-launching soon in October. It's a non ammonia color. 


 Shortie, that's me...My hair color is BLACK. That's my real hair color. Ain't colored like my colleagues. I just had my hair washed with the new range color and treated with masque. Woohoo...


 What can I say. My hair looks healthy and shiny. Oh yea, not to mention, glossy!
(ENVY?)




Alright, below is the before and after of my colleagues hair color using the new range color. I'm the photog since I'm not doing any coloring. And yes, I did all the finishing touch of their hair. Shiny ehhhh.... (^__<)v

Things Your Hairdresser Really Wants You To Know For Real



It’s hard out there for a hairdresser sometimes. They have to be TALENTED, TACTFUL, EFFICIENT, and up to date on the latest trends and TECHNIQUES. They have to be able to create wearable art on people’s heads while discussing salacious celebrity gossip. I’m totally in awe of the people who do this job, and when I pretend as a random customers going in for a hair cut or color, I always wondering how I can make their job easier in order they don't screw up my hair and walk out with the best possible results. With that in mind, I talked to few many hairdressers friend as I could find and asked them one question: What do you really want your clients to know? Here are their answers, in their own words (and MINE as well) …


 

1. Bring photos. One thing that always sticks out in my mind is a class at beauty school where we all had a paper and pencil and the instructor described a hair style and we had to draw what we thought she was wanting. No two drawings were even close. If you have an exact idea of what you want your hair to look like, bring a picture. You can even bring in multiple pictures and say ‘these bangs,’ and ‘these layers,’ but if possible, choose photos of people whose hair is a similar texture as yours–the style will be much easier for us to recreate on you.


2. There is no such thing as a “wash and wear” haircut unless you don’t care what you look like. “The only people who can do that are people who don’t mind what their hair looks like when it air dries. There is no haircut or style that will air dry your hair perfectly nice and/or wavy. For every haircut and style out there, you must put the effort into learning to maintain it and taking the time to style it.”

 

3. Count the products we use on you. You know how good your hair looks when you leave a salon? This is why. You would not believe how many people say they can’t get their hair to do anything and when I ask what products they use they say, ‘None.’ Let us know if you need help choosing the right products for your hair. Don't be cheapskate by opting cheaper products.



4. Celebrity hair is styled. It is always styled. No haircut on the planet is going to make your hair flow like Jennifer Aniston’s. Yes we can give you fabulous layers, yes we can angle your bob, but sorry I will not be in your bathroom every morning applying the heat it takes to get those locks glossy.

 

5. Don’t change your color too drastically, too frequently. Color touch-ups are okay every 6-12 weeks.  But a big color change like from blonde to dark, or blonde to red should be done 4-6 months after your last color service.  Your hair needs time to get healthy again in between each coloring.  If you want a different color change every 6-8 weeks, your hair will become damaged and less likely to take the color properly. Remember that your hair has limits–it doesn’t have nine lives like One Piece!

 

6. For updo's, dirty hair isn’t always better. ”Clean hair is sometimes better as it can be easier to work with. You can always give the hair a dirty or day-old look by using lots of good products as the updo is being put together, plus it’s nice to have clean hair for you special day.”

 

7. Don’t be afraid of bangs. Some people believe they cannot pull them off, but bangs are actually a flattering and versatile look. Your stylist can tell you which type is best for you as there are many: long, short, angled, fringe. Bangs will always need proper styling and the right products to hold them in place, but a little work is totally worth it.

 

8. For hair color appointments, come with clean and dry hair.  If hair is clean, the color will absorb properly. If the hair is dirty, the color may not take as well. Colors are much more gentle now than they used to be, so dirty hair is more difficult for color to cut through. Please don't come right after your gym for godness sake.

 

9. If your hairstylist tells you that your request is going to fry your hair, listen. We are not being cutesy and trying to get out of a little hard work. It means your hair will not lay flat, it will not be shiny, and no one is going to envy what’s happening on your head. If you still want to proceed, budget to get a deep conditioning masque, because what you currently have will not be enough.

 

10. Don’t blame us if we give you exactly what you asked for. Hairstylists want to make people feel beautiful and happy. If you tell us to take you from rich brown to a strawberry blonde, don’t get mad at us when you realize you looked better brown. We take pride in our work, especially when we nail the client’s request, and it’s hard when people don’t appreciate that.

 

11. We can make you look fabulous, but we can’t work miracles. As a hairdresser, there can be many pressures, and with all of the reality shows and makeover shows right now, people’s expectations are set higher than ever. A good hairdresser can help you to an extent, and a good hairstyle can make a big difference, but we can never give you a face lift, change your skin tone, or make you look 30 pounds skinnier (believe it or not, we get that request a lot!).

Man up dude !


STOP BEING HENPECKED AND STAND UP TO YOUR WOMAN TODAY



Well, the thing you ladies love about men is the fact that they're men. You love that they are so different from you, yet manage to complement you in many ways. You love that they are more about action than talk. You love that they show you their manly side (no, not that) on daily basis, yet let you take care of them even though they don't need it. This is why you ladies can't understand those men who willingly subject themselves to humiliation, degradation and loss of ego by hooking up with domineering women.

Yes, I am talking about you, the henpecked husbands and boyfriends. You put the "man" in manipulation and allow your women to control you. Yea, sure, she might wear the pants in the relationship, but do you really need to let the whole world see that? (No offense ladies, I'm just saying) So why not make this the year you stop being doormat and stand up to her like a real guy? If you are not sure whether you are a henpecked man, here are some clues. Choices are there.

THE BAG MAN 

The biggest sign that a man is henpecked is if he carries her handbag (gosh, I've seen enough). Carrying her shopping or grocery bag is fine. But handbag?? Have you ever looked in the mirror while doing that? Obviously not, or you'd realised what a horror sight it is and stopped by now. Tell her you'd carry anything in the world for her. Just not her handbag (for the god lord, just stop it, please).

CLOTHES HANGER

We've seen them at every shopping centre every weekend, waiting by the fitting rooms with at least 10 items of clothing, a forlorn look on their faces, Actually assuming they have such look; they're usually staring at the ground, so it's often impossible to make out their expressions. These are men masquerade as clothes hangers while their wives and girlfriends take their time to try all the stuff in the shop (and then eventually go all the way back to buy the item they saw in the first store). Tell her you'll hang out at the coffee place while she shops, and help her with the bags later (how that sounds to you, manly enough?).

SOCIAL MEDIA

Some women have the tendency to tell the whole world - or at least their Facebook friends - how much they love their men. They'd wish these guys happy birthday or anniversary with lovery dovey message and so on. If you're commenting on her post, you know she has got you wrapped around her finger (I'm telling you this dude, it's sweet but...). Tell her you'd rather she only express her feelings to you personally, as it's really nobody's business. (Well, in a nice way, of course)

YES DEAR

If you find yourself saying "Yes dear" in response to almost everything she says to you, it's time to man up, dude (this is some serious sissy matter). Some disagreement and conflict in a relationship is normal (and even exciting). Tell her if she wants someone who agrees with everything she says, get a dog. Dog is a good company, they even shake their tails with agreement! WIN.





If you feel familiar with what I'm saying, you have got to do something about this, dude.

don't judge nor talk about me before clarifying the situation


There it goes again... Thing gets ugly again just because I did not ask before punching out and left the salon despite clock ticking at 21.07. I really hate it. I am only a regular worker who employed by the company you are running yet it feels like I am physically binded or perhaps sold to the company. Whatever fucking things that you do needs to be asked before hand. And that makes me feels like a prisoner. Sometimes I ever wondered will I ever make it to survive until I standout from my level. Feels like a seed that is waiting forever to grow.

Reached home and receive a short text from my BOSS. Started pouring all the incident that happened today. And I'm like, "what the FUCK man". Is this all you heard from my branch manager??? Is that how you gonna fucking judge me based on verbal communication between you two?? Damn... You even mentioned that I'm a "lone ranger"? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I work with the colleagues. We poke, we joke, we shoulder the tough time together(except with my branch manager) and yet been told I'm a  lone ranger?? I've been fucking scrutinized from the cover and framed AGAIN. Fucking hell no man. God... you must have mixed my blue print. This is not what it's supposed to be. I try so hard to make my way without recipe and this is what I get?

Come on man, you don't have to do that. Sometimes I ever wondered, do I have the Fucker Face written all over my face when I don't smile. Does that pissed you off and you just tryna work your way to get me in trouble?

Too many complication and misunderstanding.

I should have quit..

I should have just leave the hairdressing world...

not because been judged blindly by these muthafucker, but for my own sake, my hand.... fuck...

#Hashtag #Literally #Annoyed



Here's a  really nice thing about me - I never get worked up over viral Internet fads. You want to dance Gangnam-Style in a club, Harlem shake with your colleague or plank your muthaf**cking face in the middle of the Orchard Road? More power to you amigos~

But web lingo? That shit drives me plain crazy. Take the word "obsessed". Once upon a time, it was awesome word. Potent. Menacing, even. More importantly, it was reserved for when you were passionate about something to the point of being a little loony - basically, when you were  actually obsessed.  It's the same with the word "literally". For something to be described as literal, it has to be exactly, unexaggeratedly true. So if my blood was literally boiling right now, I'd be dead. The other day, however, I overheard a conversation between two girls that (quite possibly literally) brought my blood pressure up by ten points.

Chirpy girl #1 : "OMG! I'm so obsessed with adding pesto to my salad"
Chirpy girl #2 : "Totally agree, that is literally the best salad dressing ever!"

Now, HOLD THAT UP. Unless Chirpy Girl #1 thinks about pesto every waking moment of her day, I'm pretty sure she's not obsessed. And come on, Chirpy Girl #2, let's not even argue about pesto being the best dressing ever - I mean, everyone knows sun-dried tomato wins any day.

My point is, no one just "likes" anything anymore. Appreciating anything, even slightly  requires you to be obsessed. In fact, scour the Interweb and you'll realize  that about 10 tweets a minutes are hashtagged #literallyobsessed about the most frivolous things - think eggs Benedict and fluffy pillows.

And on that note, hashtagging has suddenly become de facto web lingo - even Facebook has caught on. These days, no one uploads a photo Instagram with a cute succinct caption anymore - now you've got to include hashtags with every damn possible adjective you can think of. Apples are now captioned #breakfast #delicious #red #fruit, etc etc. It makes my head hurt.

And while I know that most this lingo is just bad English and innocent hyperhole. I'm beginning to think there's a sneaky undercurrent of one-upmanship right below the surface. Say your friend puts up a picture of a new pizza parlour in town, captioned "Loving the pepperoni slices at this joint!" All you've got to do is shoot back a snappy "Obsessed!" and you've not only shown her how much more you like the place, you've also declared that trumping her pithy adoration, you have successfully moved into full-blown mania.

And that little hashtags #thehighlife along with the picture of your new heels? Just a gentle  reminder to your social circle that those pumps may looks plain, but they're designer.

Enough is enough, people - let's stop with these exaggerated declaration and the online display of affections for yesterday's lunch. After all, I'm pretty sure the Chirpy Girl duo wouldn't literally want to eat pesto in their every day of their lives right?

It's time we went back to calling a spade and telling it like it is, I propose a sweeping ban unnecessary hashtags, literally non-literal statements and the word "obsessed". Because, believe me unless you've thought about something so much that you turned into a full-page rant in a magazine. I'm literally sure you're not #obsessed with it...
