A Comforting Thought...

My Dearest friend S always has a refreshing spin on things...Today it was:

"Ever get the feeling that we're normal and the rest of the world is crazy?"

HA!...THAT CRACKED ME UP!

lol, I guess I could afford to flex my perception...maybe being a minority doesn't necessarily imply that we're the weirdos!

Apart from that...I forgot to report on the outcome of my friend going to town on my hair...I think carefully styled I could pass as a bonafide Wii Avatar :) Luckily I don't own girly accessories cos she so wanted to stick a bow on me Hello Kitty style! In any case I'm loving short hair again...the only reason why I grew it long was cos a ponytail is convenient in summer and I look more my real age with longer hair...now I look 18 again...albeit like a very tired world weary one. Apparently the way to tell how old an asian really is is by the eyes...

I am still incredibly exhausted from the past week...I don't know how I'm supposed to get the bare minimum of study done-arghhhh!

Those Tell-Tale Signs...

You know someone is in the midst of some kind of "life crisis" when something funny happens to their appearance/hair e.g Britney Spears...or the metro guy who's hair precious who shaves it all off after he gets dumped?!

so, I was waaaaay overdue for my locks to be trimmed and having the serendipitous gift of finishing early due to an exam, I seized the opportunity...

when the lady said "how would you like it?"

my response was

"Don't know/don't care, just cut it!" (in a nice tone though). LOL (that's my usual response anyway, hair grows back it's not something that I'm particularly attached to unlike the typical girly girl).


So anyway rather than just a straightforward trim, she took the liberty of "fashioning my hair" into a pretty different hairstyle...complete with FRINGE (cos that is just so "in" right now)...


I have not sported a fringe since the age of 12! weird.

Now I really don't recognise myself. My first impression was "I think I look like a supercute cartoon character". Definitely more asian- perhaps even anime-esque?

If I wear my glasses as well my friend thinks I resemble a supernerd- I guess I look a bit like an Asian Daria(3rd from left) but with short hair where as previously I looked more like Jane(2nd from left)...note both of their "not impressed" facial expressions? yeah that part only came after 8 months of being back in the city and now seems a permanent fixture until I manage to escape...

This new hairstyle is definitely quirky- can't wait to show my girly friend E who is going to scream lol looking forward ;) She, quote: "I Hate you with short hair!"(soooo superficial!), plus she also hasn't any appreciation for quirkiness='downright abnormal'...LOL we both know if it weren't for school there is no way in hell we would ever have managed to become such good friends! The girls at school all advised me to not cut but grow it out long and feminine but eh, not a fan- too high maintenance, and I guess I was in the mood for different...I guess a little quirky expresses my inner personality more accurately. Before I looked really normal conventional and boring...

BEFORE: think Juno








ie: ponytail is extent of "hairstyle"




NOW: it's more like Amelie but longer.

so, more belong at an artsy fartsy design exhibition or low budget amateur film competition *LOL definitely got the daydreaming bit down pat! will be interesting to take note of whether I get treated differently and how...
