A girl needs her time out

(Before the haircut: Note my out of shape, Playmobile, mop)

Joy's joining her husband in exotic Oman this weekend. But she agreed to put aside time from her packing to have lunch with some of us ex-CMP ladies at Raffles City yesterday. Four foodies convened at Ding Tai Fung then proceeded to Canale, which is supposedly known for their cakes.

The cakes were all right. I think with other patisseries the likes of Bakerzin around, Canale tastes pretty much like the rest of the pack.

Thereafter, I finally found time to go for a haircut with Pauline^. She's a funky gal who looks like she's just stepped out of a Japanese teen magazine. People look at me with disbelief when I tell them that my hairdresser is in Yishun. But I like the fact that she always has a plan for what my next haircut would look like. Talk about forward thinking.

I found her by chance. A salesgirl in Raoul was spotting this beautiful short hair, and I plucked up my courage to ask her who her hairdresser is. She whipped out Pauline's namecard, and the rest is history. Apparantly the salesgirl has been recommending many of her customers (male!) to Pauline.

We always talk about our kids when I'm there. She's got a girl who's just a few months older than Kai. Love her style!
