Mane Man - The Life & Styles Of Shunji Matsuo

I have not been going out much since I had not been working for a while and living on a shoe string budget and being invited to an event is a good excuse to come out of hibernation and just 'glam' for a while.

Being a long time customer with my tresses under Mr Shunji Matsuo , I was invited to his 10th Anniversary party held at the National Musuem. Spotted a few Mediacorp celebrities, Project SuperStars 2 contestants ( clueless why they were there though ), and of course some ambassadors and their spouses who are Shunji's long time customers.

A showcase of haute coiffure encapsulating 5 decades of hairstyles beginning form the 60's. Clothes worn were designed by Thomas Wee who also worked with Shunji in the most recent SFF earlier this year.

As I always say, pictures speaks a thousand words ......

Take My Picture

I dont believe in
In your sanctity
You privacy
I dont believe in
Sanctity
A hypocrisy
Could everyone agree that
No one should be left alone
Could everyoone agree that
They should not be left alone
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming

Zahir

"Love is an untamed force.
When we try to control it, it destroys us.
When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.
When we try to understand it, it leaves us lost and confused."

Cast No Shadow

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

Drifting

I sometimes find I'm drifting
Through this life without effect;
I often wonder if I'm truly
Worth what I've been blessed.

I search through days that have been hard,
To try to understand,
The many trials that I have known,
The life that I have had.

You see me in my daily grind,
So confident and strong;
Yet when I am alone,
I questionJust where I belong.

I often try too hard I find,
To analyze and guess,
To scrutinize, investigate
My life I will confess.

For somewhere deeper, there must be
Some meaning to this life,
Some way to make a difference,
Give a reason for this strife.

Is there some hidden meaning?
Some agenda to be found?
A greater purpose waiting
If I care to hang around?

It teases and it taunts me,
Always slightly out of sight;
A hazy vision out of reach,
Where darkness hides the light.

I struggle to bring clarity
To what awaits me there,
And yet this weak illusion
Always fades before my stare.

It seems the harder that I try,
To focus through the haze,
Just serves to add more questions,
Through my endless, tired gaze.

Perhaps I'm trying just too hard,
To understand it all,
For can we ever truly know
Just what we have in store?

Each incident, each moment passed,
Just adds upon the next,
But in the end, will I find truth ...
Or will I be perplexed?

Perhaps I make it harder
Than it has to be sometimes,
But will my searching bring to me
My meaning over time?

Or will it leave me broken,
And confused as I feel now,
While questions bring no solitude,
To this, my wrinkled brow.
