What is it about a hair cut that makes even the darkest day bright? Not that today’s been that bad, but my hair’s been growing unmanaged for close to two months now (thanks to my hair-stylist who was moving) and it sorely needed some tender loving care.

It’s surprising how different I feel after chopping off a good inch or so. My head feels unburdened. Everything seems clearer. And most important of all, I’m looking gorgeous again, if I do say so myself!

Eric, the stylist, has just moved to the new Bangsar Village shopping centre (the building that used to be Hankyu Jaya and was then abandoned). His shop is now called “Kool Kutz inc.” (I know… what is it about these china-men and their bastardised English?!?), and it sports a very bright (read: hideous) orange theme. That said, as long as you pretend to be slightly colour-blind, the shop’s quite well done up.

What I really like about what they do now is that they don’t just force chinese-tea on you (as they do in so many of these places), but they actually asked if I wanted coffee, tea or even… get this… milo! And then when they brought out the drink, it was on a nice small little wooden serving tray together with a slice of marble cake! I knew there was a reason I was paying MYR60 for the pleasure… aside, of course, from oggling at Eric for half-an-hour (note: he sorely needs a cut himself) and staring at his cute bubble-butt when he was “doing” other clients.

Anyway… the Bangsar Village shopping centre is not very exciting otherwise. Its quite small and it seems to be dominated by dining and service outlets. There are no real “shopping” shops to be had. It’s definitely not a place to go window-shopping. For that, and an opportunity to splurge some hard serious credit (as in card), I have to wait for the Isetan sale tomorrow… drool…
