Bubble!
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 | 3 Comment |
I just DIY my hair color using Liese bubble hair color, chesnut brownActually, Mom bought them. Most probably I would have chosen a different color (cassis berry maybe). Anyway, she decided not to use it and gave to me.
I actually thought the end result would be darker (coz Mom doesn't like light colors), but not really, can see brown color.
And I was worried that it's not even. But it is even :D
Well, I followed the instruction, but bottom half of my hair was quite (very) light due to previous coloring. So, I was worried that the end result won't look nice (I thought they'd be patches here and there or something).
I did leave on the top half first for like 5 minutes before I continue to the bottom half, then left it for around 25 minutes.
While washing (shampooing) afterwards, my scalp was a lil' itchy but only for a while.
I'm pleased with the result.
It smelled bad at first, typical hair coloring smell. However, the hair color came with a small sachet of hair lotion (leave-in, not rinse-off kind) and it smells lovely :)
It was really easy to apply because it was foams not the typical hair dye.
Almost like shampooing.
And it costs about the same as other hair dye, I think it was S$20?

i mean, to change the blog skin
it's been way TOO long
honestly I don't ♥ this one THAT much (a tad too childish with the cat and i'm not even a cat person - except if it's hello kitty hee hee), but i like the format, exactly what I want (with the comment and all, except no post time, need to figure that out)
anyway...... better than the previously missing pic skin :p

Ok, this is another backdated post (kept the Drafts earlier on, followed some other bloggers' foodsteps - haha you know who you are).
Monday, 2 Nov'09
Today I gave my official resignation letter to my boss.
However, the HR person is on leave (coz last nite was her wedding dinner haha) thus, no announcement yet.
My boss & I will inform my sub-ordinate (1 person only lar) first before the annoucement.
I'm sure lotsa colleagues will immediately ask me where I'm going (I'm not sure whether the announcement will mention about me leaving Singapore, but obviously I'll be serving more than 1 month notice so, people might be curious).
And I'll say Australia.
And they'll ask things like:
why?
have you found a job?
have your husband found a job?
have you bought a house/flat?
and when I answer "no" to the last 3 of the above, they'll say something like "wah, so daring"
well, this will be the 3rd time i leave my job before finding a new job
although this time is for a totally different reason :p
and this time i really feel sad leaving my job
i actually don't drag myself to work (only drag myself to wake up coz i hate mornings haha) and I don't actually hate Mondays, I guess coz i enjoy working at TBS :D
ah.. as for the "why"s, I'll probably say "why not?" haha...

it went something like this: (with heartbeat that went much faster than normal)
after a discussion with my boss and another colleague in a meeting room, i said i wanted to talk to my boss.
so, the other colleague went out of the room (since the discussion was already done anyway).
I was really lost for words, not sure how to say it.
I was like "errmm..." and my boss went: "are you resigning?"
and i said yes.... she asked why and i said i'm migrating
and i went on to explain more details, last day, etc.
so. there.

Last Saturday I had to go to the warehouse for gifts packing, right?
I can claim a total of S$30 of taxi fare for that 1 day.
The past few times, the taxi fare is around S$13.60-14.50 per way.
Of course I don't know which way to take to go there *it's just so weird that almost all taxi drivers will ask which way i wanna go*
When asked that morning, I just said anything, any way.
Of course assuming that taxi driver will take the shortest possible way.
This time, it felt like it was already longer than usual and the view is definitely not the usual one (it was passing thru sengkang area, and i started wondering why they hell are we at sengkang area????)
anyway, i didn't say anything until i glanced at the meter and it was already S$18 and still no sign of that warehouse area (which is near expo, a well-known area so, no way the driver lost his way).
i asked him, is it still much furher? i told him, usually my fare is not even S$15 and not this long. i said usually i didn't go thru this way
(the whole journey was slightly more than 30 minutes, while usually it's only 20 min).
he obviously felt bad and said i can just pay him S$15 later
anyway, when we reached, the fare was S$22+ almost S$23 and i handed him S$50 and he said that he'll just take S$15 and i said ya
i feel bad coz it's quite different, BUT then again, how would i know if he didn't purposely try to cheat me?
if it were my 1st time taking the taxi to the warehouse, i wouldn't know and would have paid him the full fare, right?
it was really a much further way, and when i asked him earlier, he said this way is all highway. Hello, 1st of all it was a Saturday morning, no traffic! 2nd of all, the usual way is also highway all the way hmmpphhh
anyway, i know that my fare home will be around S$18+ coz from 5-8pm there's a +35% peak hour surcharge (and true, it was really S$18+) so i really didn't wanna pay the full fare
i took the receipt though, and i think i should've mentioned that i could only claim S$15 per way
i just wonder if he thinks that i will claim the full amount while paying him only S$15
*sigh*
