Barbie's Day Out
It was the last day of my annual Singapore International Film Festival outing and I had two movies to catch; one was in the morning at eleven and another at seven in the evening. Since I had the entire afternoon free, I was out running errands and went shopping with Shiling. I was having a minor wardrobe crisis for work as my current collection was getting crummy. I spent $160 at SouthHaven in Wisma Atria and was eligible for double chances at the mall's lucky draw with my Citibank credit card. The nice lady at the redemption counter told me I could get a free make-over as well if I was interested. It was a quarter to five and still some time to seven; for the heck of it - I thought why not. It was a relatively short wait for my turn to get my hair done and this is me after getting my hair made over:
The hairstylists were not particularly innovative; I noticed that 8 ladies out of 10 had their hair curled (even those who had curls in their hair; they just had curlier hair after their make-over). I had contemplated having my hair curled when I finally muster the patience to grow it to an appropriate length. After this make-over session, I am quite sure that I will not be curling my locks anytime soon. I look like a Barbie doll and was quite uncomfortable with it since I felt quite like a Stepford wife. While waiting for my turn at the make-up counter, here is a picture of my two BFF since secondary two; Shiling and Peixin. We were catching the evening show at Lido and they graciously waited for me to get made over while catching up on the latest gossip.
Finally, the make-up was done and here is a picture which Shiling took with her new digital camera. The shot that the photographer took was rubbish as he posed me in quite an uncomfortable position. 
Last self-portrait of the day. My brother saw me when I got home and said I look hideous with my curled hair; my housekeeper said I looked 30; and Chris summed it up best "You look like an SPG". Nope, I think curled locks just are not meant for me.
