Done quite a few things today, the day I planned to do my rebonding.
Before I finally go to the sacred place for hair, I went to the bank to get my cheque banked in. Took the chance to finally enquire about the problem with my debit card, wasn’t been able to use it anywhere, they suggested that I go to different place and try it again and let them know where can it not be used before coming back. Well that was what I planned to do, but as I was cashing in thru the machine, I remembered being able to choose the credit card account when withdrawing money, so I tried that this time. The reason for not being able to withdraw is that my debit card is not linked with any of my two accounts. So that’s it… its not link… for some reason the person in charge of opening my account when I applied for my debit card did not tell me it will not automatically be linked to any account. I was kinda late for my appointment so I didn’t end up going back to fix it.
*Skip the boring lunch details*
Took a cab to the place which Viki recommended.
Booked an appointment for 3.45 pm but only reached there at 4.25pm. all the watch repairing bank stuff and my lunch delayed me. but at least I got to do the things I need to do.
Quite a nice place considering its one of those HDB salons.You would think its one of those narrow, 3 seats for hair cuts and 2 seats for hair washing thingy, surprisingly not. Its quite a big place, it look like one of those famous Japanese salon where one would pay $40-$50 for a hair cut, but fret not. Its only $20 for a guy’s hair cut and a hair wash. I won’t disclose the amount I spent for rebonding yet, just read on. *hee*
When I enter the place was not what I expected, it kinda give me the assurance that they will do a nice job. My moo decided to go for a hair cut as well, they did quite a job on him and do his hair up. It was kinda cute haha. The poor guy waited for me for 3 hours..., he read all the magazines there is in the salon, even the Chinese written ones. Well not like he could understand any of it, but looking the pictures always better then doing nothing.
They give good service, Nice environment, not squeezy, people there have good attitude. They don exactly smile but they put effort in their job. They’re not one of those who will just chat with u a lot but do an easy job on your hair. You know? Like, chat chat chat, hair wet a bit nvm, parting slunted a bit also nvm.. that kind. Instead they’re quite particular about the details. You can tell by looking at them from the mirror reflection.
The only thing that worries me is the amount of time they left the chemicals on my hair. Don’t they usually leave the chemicals on your hair for at least 45 mins. That’s not the case this time. They timed it for 20 minutes only for the 1st chemical, and after the alarm went off, they didn’t leave me alone for more then 5 minutes before asking me to go over for my hair wash. I was quite worried, about if the chemical would really work well enough from such a short time. They wash my hair thoroughly I tell you, thoroughly. Each time I go over for my hair wash they shampoo at least 2 times and condition 2 times.
After that, the next chemical thingy lasted for only 11 minutes. Or was it 8 minutes, I don’t remember. I only know that they didn’t wait for the last 3 minutes to pass before they stop the timer and brought me for another hair wash session.
The chemical thingy didn’t last long, the only reason why the whole process lasted so long is because of their good job in the ironing process. They really took care of the details. It was quite a wonder how the hair turned out well even the chemicals wasn’t left on my hair for long, I guess its all about the skills. Thumbs up for that salon.
Guess what, the whole rebonding cost me only $120. There was of coz no free treatment and all. But they did a really good job, and they have hair treatment sold in their salon at the price of $20. I remember the last time I bought a hair treatment for rebonding, it was at an expensive rice of $40-$48. Plus they always recommend some kind of shampoo best for after hair rebonds.. you know…. Instead, this salon here provide me with a free bottle of shampoo, I only found out after that they was having this promotion of giving out free bottle of shampoo for rebonding if appointment was made before 4 pm. The price tag on the treatment was $38, but it was sold to me at $20, and the shampoo was $29, ‘sold’ to me for free. How nice of them.
I didn’t care much of the social service they provide. The tea pouring and the chatty part. I don’t think anyone who was looking for a good result should take importance in those. Of coz it could be a bonus, but what is better then satisfying results at a cheapest price.

Free advertising for good salon eh? Yeah I guess so..
After the boring 3 hours, I went off and hop on a cab home. I think I will be quite paranoid when I sleep tonight, I think most girls will, the “will it bend the next morning” feeling. The pillow lines and the neck lines.. the curve and all. Aaargh…
Can’t wash my hair tomorrow… until ermm… Thursday? I have work on Thursday, and my workplace have no air con.. I can imagine the uneasiness cause by the sweat and my restriction for hair tying. Ooooh, what a sacrifice. But I guess its gonna be well worth it.
It seems to me that my friends always think my hair wouldn’t stay pretty for long after rebonding. I always do the stupid stuff.. swimming.. tying my hair, clipping my hair etc.. this time I will persevere. I will not let anything be a reason for me to mess up my hair.
I will not tie my hair, I will not clip up my hair, I will not go swimming. I will not wash my hair until the day after tomorrow. And I will put treatment and condition my hair to the max…and and… tell me what else I should do. Don’t wanna screw it up no more..
My moo on the other hand kept trying to screw around with my hair. Threatening to twirl it all around if I decided to bully him. I feel so helpless and my murdering intent keep rising. He keep doing things that prick my every end of nerves and get away with it. Wait till the probation period for my hair finish… he will see the end of daylight *evil grinz*
For my hair, I will endure …………………………………………………………………………………
As for my Melbourne trip in June, it was supposedly postponed to august but there is a new turn of events. My dad has decided to put forward the date due to some family reasons and I will have to try rebooking my flight to be on the 1st week of july… Which happens to be my birthday as well. I hope I can get the seats on 5th or 6th of july or even 7th, so I would be able to hhmm even if not celebrate, spend my birthday in Singapore. Please pray for me that emirates have seats on either of this 3 dates….
Aaaawwww my moo was kinda sweet, upon seeing my entry about the flight details which I never have told him about, his eyes is almost filled with tears, coz he suddenly found out he might not be able to spend my birthday with me… Its amazing he didn’t stop me from typing this after trying to make me erase the above report about him.
Ok now I am off to comfort my poor hurt moo… so I got to go now… “god, sorry I didn’t pray to you at all for the past years and I always scolded how mean you are sometimes. But god, you’re suppose to be the ever forgiving god. So please would you kindly let bygones be bygones and take care of my hair? Also, give me the str to make a moo moo beef stew right now coz he just farted beside me. amen”
