9 May 2010 (Sunday) Teacher Idols Makeover at Pavillion

It all started when Dhilip nominated me as Teacher Idol, and we were informed that out of all entries from all over Malaysia, the four of us were lucky to be chosen

My maid took a shot of "before" me as I got ready to go to Pavillion, meeting at STAR

Alycia, Priya and Chelsea from the STAR accompanied us to our first stop: Hair Makeover at Esprit Hair Saloon

We were so early Esprit Hair hasn't even opened yet, and the workers(equally early) are sitting outside waiting

Sathia gets hair done first

then Hardev

Malay teacher Norazila is sitting this out because she wears a tudung and decided not to get her hair done

My hair? very par pai lor....no less than 4 persons did my hair!! First this shampoo boy washed my hair

Then Eric coloured it

Ashlee styled it and chose my colour

Absolutely loved the revolving domed hair dryer that spun like the earth spins round the sun or is it the other way round?

Then: the man himself: MIKO!!!!

Miko Au

He is giving me expert advice on how to style my hair!!! the Director!!

I am in awe of him, but he is in awe of me!!! He is learning English, so as to help in his presentation as he is doing a lot of live shows and demos!! He confesses he doesn't like to talk, but loves demonstrating..he is talented!

you cannot layer your hair

you cannot perm your hair.

you cannot cut a fringe or bangs

you cannot cut too short

In short, my hair looks exactly as before!!! (he has cut the end so they fall in a cascade)

Eric, the 19 year old who already knows what career direction to pursue:hair styling and sculpting

Ashlee is Eric's sifu

The we trotted off to The Loaf for lunch (partly owned by Mahathir)

 Looks very busy, but look again, those busy pple behind are dummies

 Hardev and Chelsea

Our photographer and Sathia

 Bacon bits spaghetti (Alycia's)

seafood Marinara, mine ( I only ate the seafood, scared I could not fit into the clothes later!)

I needed two cups of coffee

 Had to rush to Parkson to keep the next appointment

Our patient lensman

and the hardworking team who worked whole day on Sunday! (9 to 7.30!) Alycia, Chelsea, Priya, (all camera-shy) and Shiow Chin, who popped in even though she is not on duty!

Of course I need to take a mandatory pciture of the liu li fountain that is now the icon of Pavillion!!

Watch out for our unveiling in the Sunday Star!
