So, I went to get myself the symbolic haircut today. Every time a particular issue gets me down, I’ll go get a haircut. There’s this Chinese saying that describes the hair as “san qian fan nao si” (literally, 3000 strands of worries). Hence the haircuts come when I tell myself to put things down.
According to JY, if she does what I do, she’ll never have long hair. *bleahz* Sickening…
I was/am trying to keep the hair long again… it’s been a while since I had long hair.
Quite a couple of “unlucky” things happened today. In Biz canteen, this gunk of dunno what filth just dropped down from the ceiling on my head. Was black and sticky and damn gross…
Then on the way to town, I was kinda spaced out and tripped while going up the bus. Scrapped my forearm and the irritating guy behind (part of an irritating couple with the girl yaddering on and on in this high pitched noise from the NUS bus stop) made this sarcastic comment: “woah… relax”. I felt like turning around and glaring at him plus kicking him in the ****s but I was just too zonked out to react. Just passively walked away… Can’t believe it… ha… losing my edge.
Having consecutive bad luck happen to you, my first reaction was to call someone up to complain and to be soothed. But well, I’m glad I didn’t. Coz at the end of the day, I realized that though bad things can happen to me, there can be many good things that happen as well.
Like today, met up with HD. Went for dinner which I paid more!!! Haha! I must state this lah… not coz I’m stingy or anything, but coz HD’s the one who spoilt me. I used to feel very awkward when people treat me; but HD, such a nice friend, always insisting on paying. So now, I’m so used to having him pay. Tsk tsk…he spoil the market rate for everyone else… I also think it’s not good. (to rely on men to pay…loses the independence of the modern contemporary woman)
But the main point is that, I had fun hanging out with him today. Though he sorta played out his fantasy as social escort (that’s another long story)… Heh!
On a whim, we went to Citigem (the jeweler with the Fiona Xie and Jo Peh ad) to look at diamonds. It was quite hilarious coz I was quite determined to go “con” a bottle of mineral water out of Citigem.
The whole objective was to pretend that we’re a couple and that I’m trying to make him buy a diamond ring for me. This part is like so easy to act man… haha… just be myself. Ha! So I happily tried out a number of really nice diamond rings, throwing “hints” at him in front of the sales person, asking bout the discount prices etc. while both of us were “um chio-ing” (silently smirking) at our little play.
In the end, I got my mineral water! Haha! That was all to it.
Really dumb thing to do, but in the end I think doing small, stupid, silly, spontaneous things like that with good friends can be quite amusing.
I think I miss being silly.
