wat a blow
there must be smthg abt me. smthg that makes guys wanna tease me. up till now, i still dunno wat it is. maybe its my easygoing nature. maybe its my niceness. perhaps its my sense of humour. or maybe somehow, they can sense the playfulness in me that welcomes such unseriousness..... but i cant pinpoint it and find it rather amusing that in watever environment, i somehow become the teasing target.
i've been going for the messy-crazy-woman-hair look after my recent haircut. just for fun, a change, u know........ its quite simple, just haphazardly hot curling my hair in the morning and applying some gel thingy to keep it more in place.
on the 2nd day i styled my hair this way, i was still quite selfconsious that it looks too crazy. my mentor, O, asked, "you blow ur hair every morning izzit?" "yah, how you know?" "of coz la, unless you sleep sitting upright." "but i tot it looks quite messy??" "its deliberate rite?"
yay! at least he understood that its on purpose.
the next day, i was rushing, and really did an all-out job. O looked at me and asked, "did you get a new hair blower?" "no, why?" "coz i tot it blew up since ur hair...." he didn't complete his sentence. by then i was oredi laughing so hard, he was laughing too but trying not to lose too much composure. turning to another colleague, he said in all seriousness "b, can u teach her how to use a hair blower? u know, there's a switch to control the power..."
O is a guy who sits in a fishtank - that's wat we call all pple who are highlevel enough to have a glass office/room of their own. basically, he is a manager, so far the youngest i've come across in my company. yet, in his busy-ness, he was able to send an email saying, "kindly refer to attached when in doubt". the attachment was a hair dryer manual.
i've reverted back to normal naturally wavy hair since.
