"It is all about MY HAIR!" ~ Elle Woods; Legally Blonde 2.

Yes, before anything else, I am going to rant about my hair!!!

My hair, MY HAIR!!!

If you have read my previous entry, you would have known that I've had a hair cut. And it is unconventionally short for me in a weird way. But let's just say, many have given fine comments and for a moment there, I felt good about it.

But lo behold, after my own hair wash, the disaster of nature strikes and my hair now is out of shape! On the first day, of course it looks nice! It was washed and blown profesionally and every strand of hair is in order. But you don't get that everyday and since today is like every other day, then you would have figured that my hair was totally out of place. The ends curl out in the wrong way, it looked dry and bushy and I have to apply lotion on it to calm it down. And dont even get me started on the hair brushing moments. Basically, I didnt even need to put in so much effort in combing my hair when I had it long.

One word: SUCKS!!! - My new hairsyle that is

The only thing good about it is that it is short and easy to be tied, not to mention lighter and gives a swingy bounce. :)

I think I look better with my hair tied up then have it down!

And it rips me apart inside everytime I look into a mirror, talk about low self esteem!

Anyway, enough of my rants and hair obsession, now to the main event. Mdm Yiang and I went shopping today (again)!!! We went to Sungai Wang (we parked in Times Square) and let's just say we ended with several shopping bags and much satisfation on our reapings. :D

I must confess I have not had such a good time shopping in a long time. The company was good, the cash was sufficient (*winks*) and the hauls were pleasing to my every taste. I am very satisfied with my purchases and only wished we had more time and money to spare. This is the first time I got only 1 top (t-shirt) but 4 bottoms (2 pants and a skirt). Usually I get tops more. :D

Just to share some happiness along the way.... :)

Got a pink top (dont know why it looks red here) From Players Girls

I love this pants (Players Girls) so much! It looks great on me and feels really comfy too!

A short pink skirt, I thought it would look cute with one of my tops. :P

Floral orange shorts, I have a blue and pink one. Thought orange was kinda cute too. It was cheaper than the pervious two I bought from Curve. :)

Tadaaaa!!! The cherry on the sundae! I call it the "sumo pants" (doesnt show in the pic but it is seriously very large). It looks funny and overly big but I like it very much cause it's very unique and colouful. Yiang and I both feel "in love" with it from first glance and just had to get it in the end of the day. It has a special way in wearing and tying it and actually it looks very "sakai" but hey, at least it is a special way, lol. Btw, it is from Thailand and no this was not bought in Sungai Wang. Want to know? Hehehehe...

How it is worn...hahahaha! (After folding and tying it up)

Me mum also bought me some clothes (for CNY)... This is an Elle Active top, I find it kinda cute. :)

A pink Google T-Shirt. At first I was seriously surprised on why my mum got me a T-Shirt for CNY but she said "First day in granny's house all day so just wear T-shirt la". LOL, it was true and since every year after arriving at my granny's place during CNY, I would usually change my really nice clothes to just T-Shirts and shorts (hot ma) so my mum says it defeat's the purpose of dressing up, lol.

Previously, Yiang and I went shopping in Pavilion. And I must confess I really like the place and garments offered there. But of course as many of you know, it is a cut-throat mall and one can only purchase so little (if you are in my state la). Yiang and I saw and eyed so many garments but were unable to take them home. :( However I bought this colouful sweater from Pull and Bear. It looks weird and maybe even childish but I like it. It is striking and bright, just my thing. :D

Alongside with that, I also got a laptop cover (at last, got it) from Isetan, KLCC (10 minutes before I met Yiang then, haha). It's from Gin & Jacqie and most of all it is PINK! Nice!

And before all that, I bought a red cardigan (which I really like!) from MNG in Sunway Pyramid.

Is shopping cool or what?!

LOL!

Cheers to 2008 shopping! I am having a fine start :P

Ok, for the record, I am not really a shopaholic, but I do enjoy splattering my money for desirable goods once in a while. :D

Cheerios people and God bless!

A kiss of Tulips

BIG NEWS!!!!

HUGE NEWS!!!!

I CUT MY HAIR!!!!!

Bahahahahahahahahahahah!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!! Kakakakakakakaka!!!!

Yes, finally. After SO LONG.

But as most of you know, I am a "long hair type". I adore hair with natural extensive length! Which is why I rarely visit the "barber" (lol). But CNY is approaching and my worn off spit ends on my waist length hair is drowning me out. So finally, I had decided to really CUT it. To a certain "long" degree of course. Meaning CUT but not that short la.

*Note the usage of the word "barber" instead of saloon.

And since I was feeling rather mundane and undecisive, I told the guy to just do whatever you like with my hair with the condition that it wasn't going to be short. Meaning still keep some length la. It was rather surprising since I was and always is particular about my hair whenever I am in the "barber shop". I guess you could call me a sensitive person when it comes to me hair. My previous"barber" visits has always ended up in me "threatening" the stylist before the cut and an almost tears scenario later on after (due to unsatisfaction and "hair loss").

Yes, I am one of the most difficult people to please when it comes to hair cuts. But today, it was all just so nonchalant. So numb and so... "nothing". When the guy was cutting my hair, I knew I didn't like the way it was turning out to be and yet I just sat there, observing in silence with hollow emotions. For a moment there, I thought I could feel several shrimps swimming in my head. :P

After the cut, wash, blow and massage, I stared at the big "barber" mirror and gazed at my new look. It was SHORT.... not short - short. But short (in my opinion). This was the shortest I've had in 10 years (I had short China doll cut style when I was 11). Seriously. Well, in a general and common view it may seem ok (shoulder length) but for me, it was just.... SHORT! The side was trimmed to the side of my "fringe" then going all the way down. I don't know all the particular ways to explain it in detail but for it it was just SHORT!!!

However, it felt really light! Seriously. I mean I wish I could have snapped a picture of the floor then to show you how much hair "adorned" it. My hair, my precious long virgin hair! If I were in my previous condition when I had my hair cut, I would have literally just cried from looking at it. But today, as said, I was just numb. I didn't even get angry at the guy! As the matter of fact, I am just.... "blur" to the max. "I just didn't care."

The only thing I took "joy" in was that it was a new and fresh look and I felt lighter. I kept flipping and bouncing my hair around. Like shooting a hair commercial. LOL. But anyway, everybody who saw my hair after the cut said it look really nice on me (which only consisted of family member, haha). And that it made me look younger (pffft! As if I don't look young enough already :P). Seriously, if I put a hair pin on my head (I have to now to block my "fringe" from dropping) and throw my hair back, I look like a kid. Like 16. Literally. Bahahahahah!!! The back of the hair is still "long" so to speak but the front and side is short, so from the front view, it seems like I had short China doll cut hair. LOL.

I have a little concern though. It may "look nice" (after being freshly cut and profesionally blow-ed) but what is going to happen after? I am not vain enough to take care of it constantly (which is why all my previous hair styles are simple - long and straight). I dont do anything "healthy" with it but wash and natural dry (lazy people like me dont use hair dryer) and I certainly wont go back often to trim and maintain it. So I guess in a month's time, it will be out of shape.

Bahahahahahaha!!!!!

As usual, Philee Tan always regrets what happends later after a hair cut. Anyway, as said earlier, don't care. Later only cry about it la. :P

I didnt take any pictures of my new hair cut to display but there are some random pics taken by my dad from tonight's dinner. It was my aunt's 54th Birthday and my uncle took us out for Chinese "fine dining" at this place called The Ming Room in Bangsar (which the bill ended up more than RM1k for only 7 peeps). So here are some photos to enlighten my boring blog and hopefully you get to glimpse a little of my new "hair". LOL.

We had a bottle of 1998 Belgium wine. And of course with my previous history with alchohol, I only had very little and I didnt even finish it. :)

First "Yee Sang" of the Year...

And here comes Mr. Lobster!!!

Lots of lobster meat wei... as in seriously with scallops etc. And later another lobster dish too.

Vege!!! And I actually ate them all. :P

Oink oink!!!

Oink again...hahah!


Lobster meee.... since it was my aunt's bday, mee was a compulsary.

"Suit Kap" with soya. In literal English terms, it is a special kind of couple frog punya fats!!!

LOL, for real. Suppose to be for "beauty"....hahah.

"Blur".... Look at how short my hair is (hard to see, cause I am in black)!!! LOL!... Random shot by dad.

One thing about my dad taking pics is he doesnt say "Cheese" or 1,2,3! He just snaps whenever he can without warning. So I dont really have a decent pic and I wasnt much in a mood to bother posing. As usual, my SE level did not permit it. :P

I dont know why but I like this pic, gives an annoying look but sorta emo and nonchalant feeling. Again, not the length of the hair!! Yes, its all about MY HAIR!!! Sue me!

Enough said.

*******************

I just had to post this pic up:

J.Co Doughnuts!!! Muahaha, at last!

At Pavilion with Yiang, I bought a dozen of them and she bought half a dozen. Btw, shopping there was great, we just need more CASH...lol.

Okay la... enough with pictures and yakking. Unless you wanna hear more about my HAIR!

LOL.

So please have a pleasant weekend and God bless

*Hugs*

The Beauty of Flight in Traumerei...

It is a very lazy and free afternoon. More like early evening. And given the carefree nature of finished chores and the comfort of Jules Massenet's Elegie: O Douz Printemps by Joshua Bell, I must confess I am in a splendid position to blog with liberty and wholesomeness.

I don't have anything in particular to post on, just some daily experiences and notions. However I seem to be in quite a bit of a cherry mood. Many reasons may be the "fault" of it but I take pride in this moment to savour the gladness of this enlightment and make use of it by conveying it here.

Yes, I feel cherry. Splendidly. I feel as if a cage in me has be unlocked and whatever in it has been set free. And I adore this feeling. This feeling of liberty and wonder. It makes me want to waltz and just float away, ascending to which ever cloud that bears my heart and dreams.

Perhaps this is a dreamy moment. An unreal present time in which I take pleasure in indulging. In desiring the unphantom-able dreams and making believe they are true. I guess I just feel NICE. Nice, indeed.

The sensuous Besame Mucho by Andrea Bocelli is currently serenading my senses now, giving me a sweet touch inside with a lingering feel of beauty. I guess a Rumba would perfect the moment, *chuckles* but my darling bolster could only be so stagnant. *Sighs in smiles* I pray you too would experience this cherry feeling somehow, sometime soon.

I love you, I love you all. I do, I really do.

Dancing in the moonlight

Currently listening to: Impromptus (4) for piano, D. 899 (Op. 90): Impromptu No. 3, Andante by Frank Schubert

I feel like someone is pulling both my eyes in the different direction. Weird? Or sick? More like horrid. No, its something more. Something more complicated and twisted. I just feel erm... well.... the current word would be morbid! Yes, morbid. I am morbid. But not in an ill way.

Have you feel so driven apart inside whereby you feel like there is another person living inside dying to burst out. I am not talking about esteem issues or "inner voices". More like dual personality. No, I am not mentally ill. It's just a hunch. A thought in my head.

Lately, I am just so driven apart inside. I just don't know who to be or how to act. And it seems like I can't choose or both sides just don't want me. And I end up being "nothing". Less than nothing. Like standing timeless in limbo. Numb. Not being able to get out. And as much as I detest so, I must confess I need help. I need you to pull me out. I need you to choose a side for me and have it accept me. For I can't accept it or neither, for I am "hollow".

Okay, now I sound like a sorrowful and emotional poet.

I am no drama queen (more of a solo backstage princess, lol). But sometimes I feel so much drama inside. Try portray a Chinese Opera performance going on endlessly in you. With all the mask, action, movement, drama and foul play. If you are a typical banana like me, then you would come to see that Chinese Opera is really complicating and hard to decifer! LOL, but I admire its art and beauty in everyway.

I can practically hear the "took took CHANG" inside my head. :P

In general reference, I am suppose to be in my "comfort zone" now. But I am far from comfort.

I need to snuggle in some strong and warm arms... Not wait, screw that.

What I need is a big teddy bear aka Santa Claus cuddle.

Too bad, santa claus doesnt exist. And there aint a giant real like teddy bear to comfort me.

So I shall hug my darling bolsters instead and dwell in its hugginess.

But now, I think I need a smooch. (LOL).

No, I need to smooch someone!

MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Hmm.....

How about a big fat and cute suckling baby with rambutan cheeks?

Yes...ehehe. But no, I might crush it. Cause I definitely will hug it too tight too.

LOL.

I think I shall just go and smooch Smoochiepup and cuddle Coriander.

And then dream of a handsome prince who would do so to me with love. :P

*Hug and be hugged!*

God bless!
