Comment on Places to stay in Singapore by adam

I stayed on the fifth ring road north of Beijing in a resort built around hot springs, which was really nice and close to the touristy spots but I wouldn’t recommend it because the taxi ride in and out of the city centre is a nightmare (unless you make friends with PhD students).

If you get stuck looking for places in Singapore, just send me a message and I will ask my kids – I know about 20-25 locals that are currently at home and they will all have recommendations. I hate Orchard road so if it were me, I would try for a less expensive place in/around Suntec just for the location.

Heavy Rain is a lot of fun. Thankfully it doesn’t seem to be AS glitchy later on in the game – or it didn’t for me at least. I really enjoyed it, but after you go back and play around with your earlier decisions…

Well, there’s not much more reason to play it.

Joseph – you should check out the keratin straigthening procedure. It’s a bit more expensive but it’s supposed to be much better for your hair.

Ok. Thanks!!! I’ll try it even if it doesn’t work, cause it’s only hair and it’ll grow back.

The reason I asked this is because alot of people said they’ve had bad experiences with it(They said there hair was damaged, started to fall out and stuff like that).

But, I think it mikght actually work and can’t thank you enough!

Hi Joseph. It’s been a while since I posted this (my hair is long and curly again now), but here’s a quick point-by-point response.

I have thick curly hair. I didn’t get any pre-treatments (aside from a deep conditioning immediately prior, as part of the process). My hair was not damaged at all (in fact it never felt healthier!) The straightening is only to hair on your head at the time of the treatment, so new growth will be whatever your hair is normally like. Think about it like dying your hair in that you will have “roots”, but not quite that bad since new growth is weighted down a bit by existing hair.

If anything I conditioned my hair less after it was straightened (because I didn’t have to do anything to it to stop it from being frizzy). So yeah, that was my experience. Your experience may be different, so don’t hold me to it!

Hey Nick, I am thinking about having my hair chemically straitened. I know all about the costs and stuff, but I don’t wanna damage my hair. I have THICK CURLY HAIR and I’m going to let it grow out some more cause I am going for an emo look, but I need to know what kind of pre-treatments I should get and would it damage my hair?

How long will it last, cause if it lasts until your hair grows out it wont last very long for me cause my hair grows pretty fast. Is this a waste of my time cause I want it so badly!?

Also, will I need to condition it regularly afterwards so it wont look dry?
