My hair.

Its official : My hair is now shoulder length.. Or shorter, actually.

You see, I'm sick at home and the hot weather is making me feel worse. My headaches are bad and the doctor was like " You can't expect me to just give you medicine and make the headaches go away, it just doesn't work that way!". Then lemme ask you doc, just HOW does it work? But he gave me medicine anyway, to reduce the giddiness and pain. But the side effects of the medicine : you'll feel hot, and sweat a lot(that actually rhymes).

And so it was that I found myself sitting on the couch sweating(not perspiring) bucketloads, even though I had bathed like, 4 times in the last hour. Finally, I just couldn't take it anymore. I walked to the hairdresser and told her to snip my (nearly) waist-length hair off. Long enough that I could tie it, but short enough to not get in my way.

Hairdresser : You sure ar?
Me : Yeah, just do it. Very hot leh.
Hairdresser : (Ties rubberband around my hair) If I cut it this short, you can still tie, but let me warn you, it'll be quite short!
Me : Okay, whatever. Just cut it off. (Actually, I couldn't see how short she indicated because I didn't have my spectacles on).
Hairdresser : (Raises her eyebrows incredulously). Oooooo....kay.

You see, my hairdresser knows how much I love my hair as on the three previous visits I refused to let her snip a lot of it off. (I used to tell her things like : "Just trim a bit enough! Just a bit, just a bit!")

But once she saw that I really wanted to do it, she tookout this huge pair of scissors, then with one snip, cut off the hair JUST below the rubberband. Nearly six inches of my hair gone. Painless.

Hairdresser : ( Ties the hair into a small bunch with the orange rubberband) Nah. (Hands my hair to me).
Me : What do you want me to do with that???
Hairdresser : Keep lah. You finally managed to cut it off. Good for you.
Me : No, thanks. Just throw it away.

When I came back, I tried to tie my hair properly, but it just formed a short-ish bob that reached my neck. I'm so used to running my fingers through my hair until I ran out all the tangles, but now its so short it doesn't have any tangles.

Oh god, I feel bald.

P.S. I know I'm not bald, but to a person who's had such long hair in the past, this is really, really, really short. Some of my friends in school are gonna kill me.
