un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez


same old brand new me?

The term break which lasts for a baffling 4 days from today till Thursday has begun. Gonna have to use this time to really catch up on all my readings. Been slacking, and that's no good.

My brother has just left for New Zealand with his girlfriend.

In addition, I'm feeling a flu coming on. In fact, my nose is so stuffed up now that it's such a laborious effort just to breathe...

"Enough enough!! What's with the 'same old brand new me' title? Issit some kind of whiny complaint again??"

Oh, that title. Actually that refers to my new haircut! Heehee... I tried out a new hair salon today after sticking to my usual hair stylist for almost 10 years now. Thought I wanted a change, wasn't sure exactly what kind of change, but just something different. So happened that someone recommended this hair salon in Marina Square to me. Said it was good as in professional, nice ambience, friendly staff and reasonable pricing. Hence, I visited chapter 2.

All I can say is, I'm in love with my new hair ^^. Nicely layered, tapered at the back with streaks of red over a dark brown base. Thought it brought out my skin colour and face nicely. Outstanding yet not too flashy. Wanted to post some photos of my new look, but looks like my brother has taken the card reader along with him to NZ... Darn...-_-". So no chance, another day perhaps, if I remember =P.

Btw, there's a 20% discount for students from NUS, so that's quite a bargain for students in particular (not sure about other institutions but I guess it extends to them too. Call up to find out!)

So yay! So excited about my new hairdo!!!
