of looks, math and hair colour
Today I had an epiphany. Or something to that effect, because I spent all of 10 seconds thinking about it before reaching out for my toothbrush. It dawned upon my great self that my great life would have been lalaland perfect (as in ‘I’m lucky to be alive with all limbs attached’ perfect, not ‘I’m a multi-millionaire and I live in a great mansion and I am a celebrity ala insert-famous-celebrity-name-here’ perfect) IF ONLY I had the following three things:
1) Great screw-you looks. Forget the ‘you are beautiful in your own way’ looks. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, some can be beautiful if you look really hard. That wasn’t nice, you say? Oh sorry, please put your hands together for reality. If I had the option when being reincarnated to choose what kind of looks I’d like to have in my next life, believe you me that I would have ticked the ‘perfectly symmetrical facial features, drop dead gorgeous’ field.
Fact: Pleasant looking people usually get a jump start in life. Dirt poor growing up? You’d be the first one to be married off, to the neighbouring village’s equivalent of a tycoon. Born with a diamond-encrusted silver spoon? And you are complaining because… ? I don’t understand the utter misery of being rich and beautiful but lonely? Please, come over here and I’ll gladly switch places with you. No charge.
2) Great mathematical knowledge and skills. If there was one thing I regretted most in high school, it was not paying attention to algebra in Form 1. Little did I know that it would be the beginning of my poor understanding of math and a lifetime of blank looks when people talk about trigonometry. Until today I do not know how to get ‘x’ from the weird combining, deducting, multiplying or dividing of ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘f’ etc. I suck so bad, it’s not funny.
3) Great hair that I do not need to dye every now and then. Actually this was the point of my blog post — as Chinese New Year is coming soon, I went to buy a couple boxes of hair dye because I was not blessed with a head of natural dark brown hair. They started turning white in my late teens and because I’m vain like that, I have my hair dyed.
So they have this range of colours that says: Iced Latte, Cafe Latte, Praline, Butterscotch, Black Cherry, Terracotta, Golden Honey… you know, shades that go beyond light/dark brown, lighter/darker brown and lightest/darkest brown. I suppose in a couple of days I’ll have Chocolate-coloured hair. It’s quite stupid lah, but so is this blog post. Damn anti-climax right?

if this is an advertorial post, it’s the best one EVAR!
really? i just called the shades stupid. i only bought it cos it was the cheapest
Those shades sound more like the menu at a coffee place!
There are white hairs creeping up on me as well. With blond hair they’re harder to notice, but if I grow facial hair, which for me, for some reason, has every colour in it, the white ones really stand out.
i suck at algebra too!

Oli: But did you understand it even just a little bit? I don’t!
She comes in colors ev’rywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?
Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?
You think you suck at math? In secondary school, I NEVER passed math. I’m talking about modern math not add math. My highest score was 23 (or was it 28?), and that’s because I copied from the girl next to me. My lowest score was 3 out of 100. Its a miracle i passed my SPM math. It was a P8, but it’s still a pass!
even if u call the shades stupid, it’ll still be the best advertorial evaaaaaa should it be one.

in: HAHAHAHA i failed math in spm , beat that
ky: where’s my monehhhhhhh
