swish-swash hair

yay!!! all's done!!!
just the exams left now...

stayed up all night thurday night-friday morning to finish up my report...
staying up through the night is all part and parcel of uni life and i wasn't giving that up for my last uni assignment.
and i didn't feel tired at all ytd morning... just felt relieved!
i slept at 3pm hoping to wake up in 2hrs but i ended up waking up at 7.30pm and i don't remember turning off the alarm. it's funny how when you're that tired, you unknowingly turn off the alarm and it's Always the Off button... Never the snooze button! even when every morning i hit the anooze button (many times)... you'd think it's only natural for me to hit snooze even in my sleepy state. i wonder how the body knows.
anyway, i wanted to get back into my sleep cycle so i went to bed at midnight even after a 4hour nap...
and now my body is whining and so is my head.
not sure if it's too much sleep or the lack of it.

that's not all i did ytd though.. sleep...
those who know me well enough will know that i usually cut my hair when i am stressed especially after a major assignment.
well uni has too many of those to be able to cut my hair ever so often (not to mention it's so darn expensive too and the boy will whine about liking my long hair!) but i think i deserve this one!
so that's what i did after handing in my assignment, still without sleep, i went to the city and tried my luck (coz i didn't make a booking) and i managed to get a slot!
so snip snip snip... my long long hair's gone! =D

i think it's probably the longest it's ever been in a very long time.
it was close approaching my waist and now it's just below my shoulders.
that's as far as i could go before the boy starts nagging...
why do boys like girls with long hair anyway? so troublesome!

well ok... it's partly me too. that was as much as i was willing to get rid of.
in fact i kinda missed my long hair already... the length not the dry ends!
i used to be able to go from middle-of-back-length to chin-length and not feel a pinch.
but i do now... a little.
then again... i used to be young and free.
i really think i'm growing old and it's the little things like that that kinda reaffirms it.
i used to go to my trusty hairdresser back home and tell her to cut my hair anyway she likes... whatever she thought would look good on me. even if it's short or if she just wants to try out a new hairstyle. she would tell my mum that i'm still young and can try out all sorts of funky hairstyles... but when i grow older i'll be more conservative with my cuts.
i guess she's right. oh well.

now it's muggin' time...
with my swish swash shoulder-length hair. =p
