Most of the time when I visit someone’s blog for the first time, I will check the about page. Then only I will continue to dig the related post or the recommended post. Simply because I want to know the person behind the blog.
It is quite often I found the abandoned about page. It is either fill with ‘coming soon‘ or the generated text from wordpress. Some of the reason: no time, don’t know how to describe about myself, etc. Whoa, got time to write about medicare advantage post but no time and no idea to write about own self. Might as well close down the blog or no need put the about page.
Anyway, I came across an inspiring graphic profile from wpthemedesigner.com. Besides writing about herself in the about page, the owner also made a graphic profile (montage) that consists of pictures related to herself and numbering it. Under the graphic profile, there is a short notes/description to the pictures based on the numbers. From there we can know more about her, i.e. her favorite food, games, TV shows, movie, nationality, etc.
It reminds me about mood board in advertising. It is used to portray the target audience, the feeling that we wanna get from the product’s ads, etc. It is similar to graphic profile from wpthemedesigner. I never thought of implementing it in the about page.
Well, if you don’t know how to write about yourself or how to start it, this graphic profile or mood board can be the alternative. 
I’ve been spending most of my time at home, in front of my computer to be specific. Less going out on the weekend too if not with my family. Gosh, I’ve turn into a geek homey girl~!
It just seems to be no interesting places to go in Medan unless for the food. The only great place to hang out and window shopping is Sun Plaza. Oh so boring, man. How I miss a walk to Petaling Street and Pasar Seni with the boyfriend. I don’t mind the 1 hour plus journey with Metro bus.
I don’t need a break to hotels in las vegas. A weekend break to Brastagi Highland is good enough. While I was thinking of going there, my friend said that she planned to go there too. Law of attraction. 
I’m looking forward to this weekend.
Still remember my words about designing a new wordpress theme for this blog? Oh well, it’s been a week since then. It is still in progress though. I have finished the content layout but I am having a hard time with the header design and the title’s font. It is as hard as choosing HDMI cables. Still making my mind to go for which way.
The overall look is very pinkie and organized. I want to have the look of chic lit’s cover too. This wordpress theme is gonna be Oh-so-me, from the color to the design, from the layout arrangement to the blog’s title. I have set a deadline for myself. I’ll finish the design by this weekend. After that, it is the boyfriend’s part to coding it.
I’m so excited cause this is my first ‘made-by-me’ blog theme. If everything goes smooth, both of us will have another area to venture on.
I have my bob hair for a good 15 months already. It’s been 4 months since the last hair cut, which was on last February, few days before Chinese New Year. It looked kinda messy and out of the shape now. I decided to have a hair cut today. Then the dilemma came. Should I have short bob hairstyle again or other style to grow it long?
Let’s see why I like bob hair. It is easy to blow dry and style. I won’t feel so hot with such a short hair in such a hot weather. My hair doesn’t fall off that much compare to the time when I had a long hair. People says I looks younger, forever seventeen. But, I was quite bore of the look. Besides that, it is the market demand – wanting me to have long hair. Macam betul aja.
Pfiuh. It was a tough decision. However, I have decided to leave the era of bob hair and welcoming the era of medium or even long hair. I know, it’s gonna be a hard time while growing from a short hair to a shoulder length hair. Never mind, let it be hard at the beginning but sweet at the end.
So, I reserved a place at Kie Kie saloon for this afternoon. Yes, it is not first come first serve, reservation is needed for hair cut service. I am glad that I am freelancing now, I can go there anytime I want, even on the weekday. Else, I will need to wait until weekend, which is extremely crowded. It is closed on Sunday though.
I’ve went there to had my hair cut since senior high school. It is a good 6 years. In between that, I had tried other saloons that is cheaper than Kie Kie, both in Medan and KL, but none suits me. In this case, price determines the quality. Really. Cheapo saloons that charge half price or quarter price from KieKie (IDR.60.000-100.000) had a lower quality too, from the way they wash my hair to blow hair to cut hair. Oh my..
The last shot of my sweet bob hair.
Besides that, the hair cut from Kie Kie can last long. Even after a few months, the hair style / look is still there. Bottom line is, I can wear a no branded clothes but I cannot risk having my hair cut at a not well known / new saloon. I am extremely sensitive when it comes to hair.
The price for wash + cut + blow is at IDR.220.000. Most of the customers will give the staffs some tips, at least IDR.5.000. I think I was the stingy and only customer who gave a big egg (read: zero) to them. Well, the staff did massaged my hand and even introduced Kerastase tonic at IDR.250.000, cause I have a hair loss problem.
But it turn into a minus point because she kept on persuaded me to buy. Oi, lau niang only brought enough money for the hair cut and transport, no credit card or debit card to use also, how to buy? Other than that, she did the most common mistake in washing hair. The water from the shower kept on ‘jumping’ to my face. I wanna wash hair not face~! -___-”
Alright, save your curiosity of my new hair style for the next entry.
Someone has hit the number twenty two~! Er, actually it is her 21st birthday but we counted it based on the Chinese calendar, hence we buy the ‘double 2′ candle.
It was a ‘cold’ night due to an unexpected-yet-expected attendance of somebody. But heck, we couldn’t destroy the birthday-girl’s night, so we pretend as if nothing had happened and put a smile in front of that somebody.
Pizza Hut (Suprapto branch) has become more radiant because of us.
