When I step into a hair dressing shop, the hairdressers normally have a lot of fun. I remember when I did a weird haircut in sec three that gave the hairdresser such a headache because what I had in mind was so weird. Then there was the time when I cut my shoulder length hair to a short guy style. The hair dressers were all shocked and tried to talk me out of it. One of them even asked if I was terribly upset about something. When I leave a hair salon, the stylist will all be trying their best to hide the fact that they are all staring at me and not really paying attention to their respective clients.
Some things never change.
I ended work early today. On the way home, I got a sudden urge to go to the hairdresser's. I decided to dye my hair red. Not auburn or brownish red but RED red. In all, I think 4 stylists worked on me. The first stylists didn't know how to mix the dye for the colour I wanted so he called the colourist over. 3 stylists then discussed the colour and one of the student stylist came over to show me her own red hair to see if it was the colour I wanted. It wasn't. We discussed things and a colour was agreed upon. two stylist applied the dye on my hair. One for each side of my head. After the colour had set, another person washed my hair as all stylist not busy at the moment gathered round to watch. It was really hilarious. The one washing my hair said that his hands were stained red and his friends would think he had been eating too many red eggs. Another stylist who was washing somebody else's hair predicted that cars would stop if I stood by a road because my hair looked like the red traffic light. When I looked into the mirror.... WOW! Bloody red! The roof is on fire! Help! Volcano erupting. As I left, all the amused stylist were staring and one told me to count how many people would stare at me when I stepped outside.
My parents almost had a heart attack. My little brother loves it. My grandmother thinks it's cool. My maid giggled. I showed it to my sister in aussieland via webcam and she replied, " MY EYES! MY EYES...

WOW! Hello everybody! To think I'm actually blogging. I've been so busy with work that email is all I have time for nowadays. I work from tuesday-sunday and usually get monday off. yesterday, however, the stage manager called to say that she could manage on her own and I didn't have to go to work. So i had both yesterday and today off which is great!
I think I'm a workaholic. I really quite enjoy my work and the people here are so much easier to get along with than at the last job. after the initial two weeks, i started to talk to people so i'm not that ignored anymore.
The director has turned out to be possibly the nicest director in the world. He is so polite and nice. The type who says thank you to everybody and respects everyone's opinion. one of the actresses and I were wondering if this was the way all aussie directors worked.
*The production involves an aussie-born chinese director, an aussie-born chinese actor and an ang moh aussie actor.
Two filipino actors including one who is based in the UK. There is also a temporary stand-in actor who is a filipino
The aussie-born chinese actor and one of the filipino actors are trained doctors in their respective countries.
Interesting what doctors get up to. I wonder why they went to med school in the first place.
The aussie-chinese actor (ex-doctor) was telling a little story about how hard it is to get old people into hospital wards.
He was trying to get an 84 year old man who had just had a heart attack into a hospital ward. He called Cardiology. Cardiology told him that as the man was 84 years old, he was Geriatrics's problem. He called Geriatrics who said that the old man belonged to Cardiology. He told Geriatrics what Cradiology had said and they said to try some other department. Eventually, he called back to Cardiology and insisted that they ward the patient. So Cardiology said, " Ok, tell us more about the patient." So he said, " He's an 84 year old man who had chest pains while having sex. He clearly belongs in the cardiology ward." And the Cardiology people were so surprised, " Weel, if his young enough to be having sex... we'll take him"
So I guess the point of the story is that an active sex life can be beneficial to health. Especially in old age.
jun, wen and ah boy. Now you know what to do if you need to be hospitalised while in aussieland.
I watched Unleashed today. I really like Jet L moviesi. He can really fight. And his moves are the real deal. Not like jackie chan's nonsensical fumbling fake kung fu. In this movie, the fight scenes were really cool. When jet li whacks a guy up, he really whacks a guy up. There was a bit more emotional depth in this movie than in his previous ones. It was obvious that he was trying his best as an actor to portray emotions. But he didn't do too well in the department. I don't think his wushu training encouraged him to be emotional. He should just stick to fighting.
