fantastic service at hairkunst, the curve

On Saturday, I put up an SOS on twitter.

I made the call to Hairkunst while still driving and managed to score an appointment with Jojo.

At The Curve, I called them again because I couldn’t find their premise. It’s because the shop is located with the offices. You have to take the lifts behind Sakae Sushi to 2nd floor. Nice decor, nice music and complimentary internet usage (with a laptop!!!).

The service was outstanding. Jojo was a joy. She patiently listened to my hair predicament and then told me what she could do. She was never once patronising and best of all….none of those product pushing bullshit.

I told her I wanted a soft fringe and layered body to offset the kink where my straightened and natural hair meets. She gave me exactly what I wanted but better.

The price for my do? I had earlier withdrawn RM500 to make sure I had enough to pay for the cut and some impending products I may succumb to purchase.

I was shell-shocked to be charged the grand sum of RM55.

tax, shopping and irresponsible dog owners

i’m trying to do this tax thingy and i’ve never been so baffled before. thank goodness for the suan and ky in answering my n00b questions. seriously, wtf is this…how do people do it? filing tax is fucking shit.

my cosmetic stash bought from strawberrynet has arrived safely. i’m quite impressed with the way they had packed the stuff. each item was meticulously wrapped with silver coloured paper or bubblewrap and then placed in a box stuffed with styrofoam.

#2 – it has arrived!

#3 – styrofoam nuggets.

anyway, i’ve been following this forum thread about a puppy owner seeking donation of RM1500 for CAT scan for her sick 3 month old puppy. seemed like a legitimate case until it was revealed how irresponsible the owner is and how the pet store owners (who sold her the puppy in the first place) themselves have taken to task to care for the poor puppy instead (kudos to the folks at Fluff Pet Store in NZX). all because the owner claims she and her family members have no money. wtf, no money why get a puppy? stories of irresponsible pet owners get me really fucking angry. if you can’t afford it don’t get em. they’re not toys that you can chuck and dispose when you’re bored or when they’re sick. caring for a dog takes up a lot of money, time and patience if you’re lacking of any of those just don’t fucking bother ok.

now, back to figuring out this income tax thing -__-

how far would you go for good health?

following my last episode with severe menstrual cramps, i decided to start taking care of my health by consuming bak foong pills, a traditional chinese medicine used for regulating menstrual symptoms. they’re supposed to make my womb strong and healthy.

i got my supply from eu-yan sang, a leading chinese traditional healthcare company in malaysia. i’m supposed to take a bottle of this on a weekly basis. i can’t really tell whether it’s working but i’ll know when my next period arrives.

anyway, this morning, in a mood for some light reading i decided to check out the ingredients of the bak foong pills. check em out:

#2 – the ingredients.
semen and faeces

okay, at first i thought they were just some tragically spelt words but imagine my surprise when google revealed that Faeces Trogopterori are indeed poop. rat’s poop. flying rat’s poop to be specific.

at this point, i wasn’t so sure about googling for Semen Sesami Nigrum. click the link if you want to find out what’s google’s explanation for Semen Sesami Nigrum.

well, i’m not going to stop taking my bak foong pills, they did cost me about RM90 for 6 miserable bottles. so how far would you go for good health? chugging your own urine, anyone?
