bye bye long hair

Since Dec '05, I've been lamenting about the chore of washing the long hair that I have, conditioning it, waiting for it to dry before dashing off to bed, having to "organise" my activities around how to sleep FAST, EARLY with dry hair.

(so you can imagine how many thousand times Ad has heard me say:"Shall I cut my hair?" and "I WANT to cut my hair") hee....

Finally, in late march, since the last drop of my conditioner ran out (perfectly timed till the last drop on this faithful day...), I went to my favourite hair stylist, Jas (the lady whom I've known for almost a decade, our first meeting was a memorable one, tell you later.... story getting distracted....)

Okay, so so, conditioner ran out, booking made.... After taking a pee break before sitting down for my hair cut, I took a good last look at my long long long hair and took a snap...


yup, my long long long hair...

I took a deep breath before entering the salon, not sure if I'm going to hate what I'm doing, regret like S**T or just LOVE it....sat on the chair, got my long long hair washed, conditioned for the last time at the salon (yes, I did asked if she could cut it while it was dry to save the water, shampoo & conditioner... answer was NO *bleah*). In a flesh, my long long hair got tied up in a pony tail....


this look reminded me of the Jedi-look that we created while we walked down Orchard Road in a Jedi suit hee....(got to find the pics for that! see, got distracted again!)

In less than 2secs after Ad took this shot, Jas appeared from nowhere, armed with her scissors

and SNIP, SNIP, SNIP! 3 cuts!

and its GONE!


and here it is!


heh.... after 20mins, here I am, with a fresh new look, new style and maybe a whole new wardrobe? *HINT* *HINT* hee....

the funky back! (which I'm still trying to recreate after 10days.... :(((( )

the new ME!


-------------------------------------------------------------

okie, the short story of Jas & me as promised earlier:

I met Jas almost a decade ago (whoa, sound like very old hor??? *eeks*), in fact, at that time, she just joined her previous salon as a senior stylist. I made a call over the phone for an appointment to cut my hair and she was "appointed" to me. Since then, our client-stylist relationship grew and blossom into a firm friendship. One whom I know I can count on, any time. (THANK YOU JAS!)

That was defnitely a memorable day for both of us, her new job.... me had super long hair wanting to chop it ALL off. (yeah just like what I did 10days ago hee...). So, she asked me at least 3 times:" Are you SURE you want to cut it?" before I washed my hair, after I washed it and waited like 20mins after I washed it. I think she just wanted to make SURE of it. She wont want to screw up her first few jobs at a new salon by having a disgrunted client hee.... Imagine if I wanted to "trim" and she thought that I wanted to CUT? ha ha ha.....

yes, she cut my hair that faithful day, to trim away the painful memories of a broken relationship to initiate a new lease of my new life and I never looked back ever since. She was there for me during the harsh days, the early wee hours of my ROM, wedding ceromony and even super early hours of photo-taking for the wedding albums. She constantly created new looks, new style with every photo shoot. Something I truly admire about her. Yes, I love her!

Fate brought us together. Trust made it last.
