why wy?

breaking the silence...

exams are almost over, thankfully. Joe is here, and it's been good. Except I forgot that he snores. In my ear.
Belinda, my classmate, offered to swop her partner for joe, when I told her that he washes dishes and gives super neck rubs. Then, I added that he makes loud noises in his sleep.
Belinda went oh. Yes, the same tone I used when a guy tried to sell me a car with insanely high milage. Joe wasn't pleased when I told him that his trade-in value was pretty low, even though I wasn't planning to trade him in at all. Really.

Am pretty pleased with myself for scoring a $10 haircut at a chi-chi salon on Smith St, where the lowest deal is $72. It will be by a student, but hey, it is just a matter of time before they are going to be professionals. The lady asked if I would mind more than "just a cut'', because the students are at a time that "they need to experiment'. I said sure, and noticed the very large, very punk poster on the wall. The salon has also won many awards, but if you have ever seen the contestants for these hairshows, it may not be such a good thing. Am going for the cut on Tuesday, and if it really turns out awful, I will do a sinead o'connor and wear a beanie till spring.

Have been meeting up with Terry, a friend of Lingam's, who is formidably intelligent and funny. Not that Lingam is not ;)
And on the topic of haircuts, Terry just got rid of his bad 80s, flock of seagulls orange mop for very basic black spikes. Go visit him at projectmaya.blogspot.com

You know you are definitely homesick when you are willing to pay $6 for a thosai and it is fabulous. Not because it is really fabulous but because it's here. When I get back I'm going to eat my way through Little India, and onward to Geylang for supper. That reminds me, we are going to try to make our own soyabean milk. Will keep you guys updated.
