Expressing  Compliment

Putri    : Desi, is that you?

Desi     : Yeah, it’s me

Putri    : I thought you were Dian Sastro.

Desi     : Stop joking around.

Desi     : Really? Thanks.

Putri    : Where did you get your hari done?

Desi     : I got it at the Star Salon

 Putri   : That’s strange! I also go to that salon to cut my hair when it’s due, but they have never                          given  me the hairstyle that looks best on me.

Putri    : That may be right. Do you remember the name of the hairdressers in the Star Salon.

Desi     : Yes, it’s Bian Nugroho.
