As planned, had my hair rebonded today - S$155, inclusive of the $5 Chinese New Year surcharge. Last visited Desmond's salon about a year agao and today, I left the salon with a brand new hair style and a feeling of brand new me - so much lighter and fresher! No more trouble in the morning - no more blowing of hair, wax, sculpting lotion, pins, clips... perhaps, can even catch a few more minutes of sleep or conversation with Dearie.

Last night I was thinking how best can I spend my day off. Decided to do something outside rather than spend my time sleeping at home. There were a few options - go for a Javanese massage, buy a magazine and enjoy coffee in Starbucks or watch Memoirs of a Geisha. I have decided not to call anyone but to enjoy the "ME" time!
Decided on watching "Memoir of a Geisha" alone before dinner with Mum and Jaz.

Thought the show starts at 3.45pm and when I arrived at the boxoffice at 3.35pm, then did I realised that the show started at 3.25pm! I thought the cinema will be empty since its a normal school / work day, but I was wrong. The couple who was in front of me at the queue in front of me was given tickets in the "first three rows".. luckily, I was alone, managed to get the 8th row from the front.

I've never read the story but Dearie said it was a good book. I went into the theatre, knowing that it will be good show. I left the theatre feeling that its a great show. The scenery, the story line, the eye-candies...etc. Never thought of visiting Japan, but after the show, I think I might.
The love the different roles have for the ones they loved, gave them courage and motivated them, to step forward, to do things that is out of their boundaries. I was moved by the last part, the unexpected plot. If all things and relationship could end up as beautiful...

Despite a treacherous rival who nearly breaks her spirit, the girl blossoms into the legendary geisha Sayuri.
