~ Randomly...

"Ang moh kia" was my mum's first response to my new hair colour+highlight.

I wanted red as base colour and purple as highlights. I'm wearing red as base colour and copper-blond as highlight now. Cos my hairdresser said purple won't contrast well with red unless I bleach it. But, bleached hair loses the colour faster and is much more damaging to the hair. I trusted her and took up her suggestion. 'Cos the last time I loved my hair colour, it was thanks to her good recommendation too.

And, of course, I love my new hair colour now! The best thing about it is that it's considered CHEAP when compared to what Wenn paid for her colouring job (Opps, sorry, darling, to remind u of the heartache). My hairdresser said the colour accentuates my very nice (and expensive) haircut from -x- (dun wanna do free advert here since they are not likely to charge me any less). I agree!

It's a totally different feeling I harbour towards tomorrow as compared to Dec 2005 and for that matter, May 2006 too.

Dec 2005... I left PL because of so many reasons. Reasons that I know made a lot of sense to me then but are totally silly and irrelevant now. I left quietly, and in a semi-hidden-away manner. I will always regret how the management handled the leaving of their staff. Not just me. But also, prior to me, and subsequently after me. I will always remember how I sat in the school hall, talking to Chung Khian and waiting for CJ, Zie and Kay to be done so we can walk out of the school together, for the last time as colleagues. I also remember the people I took photo with when they started to filter out of the staff room and came to bid me good wishes. Photos that I've been waiting for the whole of last year and I haven't got them till now. I dreaded that last day. I just tried to convince myself it was the right decision (and it was, in some ways, I do believe). And I still miss the work I did there, from time to time. I still miss the children, from time to time. I still miss the time we had when 'carefree' was an apt word to describe us. Yes, I miss the mass dance too.

'That thing you do' 'This love' 'Superstar' 'Speed of sound' 'Just a ride' and of course 'Dreams do come true'

May 2006... I left NIE (LSL) because ostensibly, my job there was done. But, honestly, I couldn't wait to leave. The place, too damn far. The work, too damn boring and hazardous to my hearing and sanity. The colleagues, too 'individual'. The boss, too cranky and idealistic. But, I was resigning into unemployment again and the mentality to join MOE (which, we know by now, was a temporary illusionary escape). I procrastinated for one whole month before finally applying to teach. Inconspicuous omen. I miss the mango from canteen 2. Ok. I miss the cheap canteen food.

Jan 2007... I'm leaving MOE! Er... !!!!!!!!!! And joining my new company the very next day. Research. Something I've wanted to try my hands on since graduating from uni. And an old colleague as a new colleague! Er... !!!!!!!!!! That's better. LSSSSS reunites with PPGMCE! Kick ass!
