The comfort of talking to your hairdresser
Monday. 7.31.06 4:40pm
Today I went to get my hair cut, because of my
out-of-the-blue reaction to noticing my split ends. I'm glad Idid because I had such a pleasent conversation with my hair stylist and it made me feel really good! I mean it is their job to be friendly, sweet and all, but this girl was just so cool. Of course I thought she was cool, cuz she is also Malaysian and therefore I could chat to her on a lot of topics. But I couldn't believe the things I was telling her and what she was telling me about her personal life. She told me she had been seeing a guy for 2 months and he was a customer of hers before, she told me her dad died, she's from KK, that she has 2 bros and 2 sis. That she was a middle child like me and loves eating at restaurants (from the Entertainment book)! It was so nice to speak to a Malaysian person.
I find that it is difficult to find many young Malaysian people in Perth. A lot of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hongkies, but not my fellow country men. So it is always nice to see one and chat about stuff back home. Sometimes I find I cannot share the same humour with my Indo friends and Aussie friends.
*sigh* And only a Malaysian can spot a Malaysian. Though I will forgive this girl this time for thinking I was Singaporean from the start. :p She did say I looked Koren or Japanese if only I didn't speak. So I guess that is kinda cool :)
From the start of the day I felt like such a disgusting scrub, cuz I couldn't care less about my looks when I am going to work. When I found work was cut, I decided to go
CUT my hair. hehehe. Yeh...it was a good girlie day for myself. I noticed people started looking more at me after I got my hair cut. I guess the hair do really does do a lot for your personality, confidence and style. I had been contemplating shaving my head....just to see the reaction and faces of people too. hehehe. :D
I also asked her how I could become a hairdresser myself. But she said I had to be 17 or 18 to start, it is too late for me now. :( My dreams are killed of being a hair stylist...hmmm unless I could just be an old lady hair stylist. Or move onto the next dream..
hairdressers are way cheaper than therapists.
