New haircut @ Toni & Guys Academy, New Oxford Street

Few months back I realised my hair was really long, which I liked, but there were too many obvious split ends. Hair cuts in UK aren't exactly cheap so I put off cutting my hair till now. Being in London, I suddenly recalled about my free hair cut in Toni and Guy Academy in Malaysia. So, I started googling 'free hair cuts' and there were a list of people looking for hair models to get free hair cuts and wash around London in Gumtree's website.

The haircut I did in Malaysia took four hours because it was a bob cut. This time, I was just looking forward to getting half of my hair chopped off just to be sure there will be no split ends.

I sent a couple of text to some students of Toni and Guy Academy who avertised on Gumtree. The first two were fully booked till late august! Luckily, one of the student introduced me to her friend who needed models.

It started off with the student explaining to her supervisor how she plans to cut my hair. It was something about angles and terms I have never heard of. I remember back in Malaysia, the supervisor drew on the mirror to show how to cut my hair.

After that, I had my free hair wash by the student. Then one hour of hair cut. My haircut gets assesed twice by the student's supervisor. Once when my hair was still wet and the second time when my hair has been blowed dry.

It was a pretty busy day for everyone at the academy. The haircut was alright :)

Britain's thriftiest guy

I am amazed at how his mum works as an ironing lady earning 5pounds per hour but is able to save up till 20000 pounds for each child.

Aberdeen beach


Aberdeen beach is more happening than Balmedie beach. Both are situated in Aberdeen, 20 minutes drive apart. But Aberdeen beach is nearer to the city, hotels and it has rows of restaurants nearby. It lacks the sand dunes that Balmedie beach has. Summer time at Aberdeen Beach was packed with people if its a good weather and there will be a long wueue at the ice cream stand.
The beaches are really clean and the sand is better than the ones down south of England.

Summer at the beach

I have been to Balmedie Beach in Aberdeen a couple of times. It is one of the cleanest beach I have been to.

Beach shoes!

Jellyfish

Shells

Crab

Dog trying to bury the crab

Meeting other cute dogs
The only difference between the beach in Malaysia and Aberdeen is that, I have to bring a jacket because it gets cold.

The horror

A horrible way to die.
A horrible way to lose your parents.

A video on how hot dogs are made

Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NzUm7UEEIY

There were comments from some people that they will never eat hot dogs again. But, for me, after watching the video, I was amazed at the machinery used to make sausages!

Bruised again

Four days ago I accidentally bumped my thigh onto the bed's headboard and lol behold, I ended up with this huge bruise which was very obvious in every photo I took at the park yesterday.

I seem to be bruising myself big time on a yearly basis!
