  • gender limbo

    There has only been two hairdressers which i have been two so far: my mum's bathroom and my mum's ol' faithful saloon, which she has been patronizing for the last decade or so. I suppose, then, my options are pretty limited.

    Ahh, all experiences to the hairdressers' have been normal, thus far, except for that one time where this male-feminine-ish hairdresser winked at me while someone else was washing my hair. Like, SPARE ME, I've got a life... unlike you . Or perhaps I wasnt wearing my glasses and saw wrongly... Hmm.  

    So, I went to get my hair chopped off last week, I saw this guy hairdresser whose fashion sense I didnt particularly fancy, I mean,  short tight white t-shirt with low jeans? C'mon, who needs to see it? Like anyone wants to see it... sheesh. Talk about public indecency.

    Next I see a Guy who's on his way to becoming a Female. Or perhaps he's a Guy who dresses up like a Female, still wanting to be a Guy but to be seen as a Female... I'm not quite sure, but gender limbo he's in. A pretty lady did his hair, but he just went on chatting with his Male friend who insisted on staying by his side the whole 2 hours. Then that hairdresser whose fashion sense I didnt fancy, went and blow his hair, and guess what? for the next 20 minutes I hear a steady stream of chit-chat, Manly laughs, and perhaps Giggles. Guess they have LOTS of things in common, for starters, they're all currently in gender limbo.   

    Life is filled with... different characters. Man!

    What the heck?! Well, at 15+, I'm learning Mandarin from scratch, literally. I'm like a banana, yellow on the outside, totally white on the inside.

    Best part: I'm the second oldest. The icing on the cake: the teacher won't speak English and she gives instruction in Chinese. ... Lost in translation. So, the upside of learning Mandarin is that i will not encounter this problem.....

    Chinese fella: What's your name?

    BananaBie: Kai [chicken and ...]

    Chinese fella: What do you think of my sister's party?

    BananaBie: Wo pu che tau [I dont know]... Wo ai ni [I love you]

    Chinese fella: Okay...What time are you leaving?

    BananaBie: San [3]!  

    Chinese fella: Oh, 3am? that's late. Would you like to go back earlier?

    BananaBie: Pu Yao! [dont want!]

    Chinese fella: Then what would you like to do?

    BananaBie: Wo pu che tau. Che bananas!! [eat bananas!]

    Chinese fella: Okay, freak job....

    BananaBie: Wo xi huan leng chai? [i like handsome guys?]

    Chinese fella: SHOO, pyscho!!

    BananaBie: OK!  Bu Yao wang ji, wo hui yong yuan ai ni!! [DONT FORGET, I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!] note: i learned up that phrase for a long time. =)

    Therefore, one must learn Chinese as a Chinese. Till then, hope nothing like that happens to me. =)

  • sniffing paint and ice-creams

    Today, while clearing my freezer of 9 TUBS OF ICE-CREAM, I asked my dog for her perspective of life...

    P1010984  

    ...

    She apperently did not respond because she was too deep in thought. Well, so much for trying to understand the mind of a dog... back to clearing ice-cream tubs, vanilla, chocolate & vanilla, potong, vanilla, strawberry, vanilla, bulla vanilla, vanilla, and vanilla. =)

    Some people are addicted to sniffing paint for that cheap temporary high, a hideous addiction...

    I have been forced to sniff paint for the past two nights, disgusting, you wake up still sniffing the fumes so thick that you can almost taste them; 18 mintues later, you're out of breath. I don't do this for kicks, it's partially dangerous, but my room doors have just been painted, again.

    Yea, what's life without a few freshly painted purple doors now and then?

  • Purple doors are not soothing to the soul.

    629146743_f09b26e8c1

    I step into the car waiting to go to school when i observed randomly that my front gate's design has 7 gold hearts clusterd in the middle... intresting, that I've never noticed my gate for the past 12 years. Into school, there's a big hoo-ha about today being Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day and my observation of hearts... coincedence? I wonder...

    7am to 5pm. Made my piano teacher mad, which means breaking some Chinese New Year law? Huh. Personally, I don't give the dickens for CNY laws... never observed it, never knew it existed till i made my teacher mad, and never will observe it. TAKE NOTE: I AM NOT REBELLING AGAINST TRADITION. I just dont fancy being superstitious. So, if you're feeling upset... life's like that, deal with it. =) 

    I do believe my sister spent 25 minutes of her life in distress, singing, "the shadow of the day will embrace the world in GRAY" against my bedroom doors which have been painted PURPLE.

    Out of today, i conclude that Valentine's Day is over-rated and purple doors makes my sister cry. The curiousity of life.

  • if you just realize what i just realize

    If you just realize what i just realized.... that it pains to be different in this world at times. Yea, you do comfort yourself that you are different from the "others" in the world... but then you realize, in your different-ness, that you speak greek to the "others" and nobody else can understand what you are saying. So, lost in translation, are you. A psychological japan where everyone can't understand your 'different-ness'.

    Right, and i am yet to figure out this blog thingy.
