The Long & Short of It

I have been contemplating on cutting my hair like I always do every year..okay fine, up to last year where I kinda grew sick of my long hair. It somehow get in the way especially when I feel that I just couldn't maintain it. I don't have that much moolah to go for treatment whatsoever and God forbid, me colouring my hair which means even MORE maintenance work..haha.


I just like to have a fresh look but then I will quickly realize that while I don't mind the convenience of having shorter hair, my face looks rounder with that length of hair. Then I quickly wish my hair will grow out quickly and while previously, it does, nowadays they take a loooong time to grow to a favourable length. I think my hormones are slowly depleting due to older age now.


Anyway, I guess somehow longer hair looks better for me but oh, the frustration of maintaining it! Why can't my hair be as well behaved as a majority of girls. So freakin frizzy although it will get tamed just a tiny bit when I wear good products like for example loreal anti frizz. But only for a few hours. Then I have to physically run my fingers through to keep the anti frizz shape.


Seriously how do girls do it? It's so hard you know. But then again, being a guy also has its downside when it comes to maintaining the physical appearance. While we used to think girls spend even more time preening themselves, honestly if you check out the gym, the guys also have to live up to some sorta expectation such as build up muscles so that girls like me can gawk at them while working out. Or blame it on Jacob from the Twilight saga. Kidding. Most of them are so young, I feel like a cougar if they ever caught me gawking at them.


My hair looks totally different from the one you see at the top of this blog. Now it looks like this...


The big nose is in the way again.


Pardon the tired face...I is so shagged after work.


Okaylah, maybe not much of a difference as I've mentioned that due to older age now, my hair takes a longer time to grow out. I guess I've been contemplating because recently, I used a different shampoo solution from a brand I've used for years. I. Hate. It. I should stick to the usual solution which is the Sunsilk smooth and manageable range. It does live up to its expectation of being er...smooth and manageable. I actually am currently using the solution for damaged hair even though my hair isn't damaged. Go figure.


So how now brown cow? To cut or not to cut? Sigh. Otherwise, I'll just have to wait to finish up this shampoo before switching back to the usual one. Talk about being adventurous.


Oh yesterday I actually tied two pigtails (is there any other words to describe them?) because I wanted to have the cascading curls when I wake up in the morn. Er, I ain't see any cascading-ness but at least my hair doesn't become so frizzy. Hence why I bothered taking pics of them because I feel so pretty today :) But then again, it does have the wavy looks..somewhat. I guess it will work slightly better if I apply some anti frizz solution prior to tying them up? We'll see.


Whatever it is, my hair has character and frizzy or not, I love me hair :) It doesn't look over treated, over coloured (it is still in its natural black colour) and best of all, it still looks very natural. So me.

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
