It was so hot in Vũng Tàu that I perspired non-stop. My clothes were soaked through. I wished I had brought 3 sets of clothes and underwear for each day to change out of! I tried to shower thrice a day.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any body scrub or deep cleansing shampoo. So the twice-a-day showers and shampoo-ing didn't seem to help very much. I still felt grimy all the time. Once home, I stood for a long time under the hot shower, scrubbing the skin and scalp. Still the scalp itched and didn't quite feel clean.
The girlfriend texted to ask if I'd like to join her for a hair-cut tonight. Yes!! I definitely needed a scalp tea-tree/mint treatment done too! She fixed up everything and drove us to the salon.
At the salon, the more I looked at my hair, the more irritated I got with its dry and split ends. When the stylist fingered my hair, I casually asked if I'd look fine in a bob. The last time I had a bob was when I was 16! That was the stupidest look ever. The stylist replied "Sure", with total conviction. So I trusted him. I meant to only trim an inch off the ends. But on impulse, I decided to do more.
The girlfriend was horrified. She went on and on about how the man was going to scold her for being a bad influence. I simply smirked. Nope, I didn't ask the man for 'permission'. I've had long hair for 3 years. I'm sick and tired of it. I'm a big girl and I shall do whatever I so please with my hair.
I'm very very pleased with my new bob. It also means I've to moisturize my neck most zealously.
We met the man for dinner. The poor boy did a double-take when he walked into the restaurant. Otherwise, he wryly admitted I didn't look too bad in this bob. And now, he vehemently denies that he is against short hair. He states, "I was never against you cutting your hair short!" Well, he thinks I look cute in the bob. Oof. On the other hand, the man's father went 'EIOOOW!' and I love it that his mommy likes it!

very very nicely cut bob! clean but keep a touch of feminine in it!! =)
Short hair is great. A good hairdresser is essential. Looks like you have found one!
I kept my hair long for a time because the stupid guy wanted it too. I got so fedup I had it all chopped off when he was too far away (in KL) to stop me. Muahahahaha!!!
I likey! But I will hate it when it starts to curl at the ends....
I love it my dear!!!! It suits you very, very well! You always had style but this adds an element of 'character' to your persona! Stick with it....for a while at least!
b.muse: YAH! Like, FINALLY!
elaine: that's why i didn't dare to cut too short!
eveline: was lucky to have found a good stylist. u look fresh in short. u look so young!
pebbles: mine curls anyway because of natural waves, so don't care. will just blow dry or something.
Belinda: THANK YOU! Am definitely sticking with it for a bit!
Impy - you did, and you're his girlfriend! So the standard for me is much, much lower :)
I love your new look. Period.
=)

i'm always haunted by my mushroom hair in sec school to ever think about cutting it off again.
always secretly jealous when people pull it off!!!
nice bob!
honestly, i've been thinking of bobbing it again!
So tempted, as my hair is just dropping like nobody's business...
dawn: wahahah. and did i care? not really....OOPs.
orientalQ: i'm sure you can carry it off!
corsage + carrie: thanks!
