Hairspray

Hey y’all… it’s me again, Mr.Yet-Unemployed… *grunts grunts*

So Mr. Yet-Unemployed here is still a living, breathing and growing individual. So he needs a hair-cut when his hair grew long and needs to re-touch when his darker roots sprouts. Yep, so I just went to get a hair-cut… fabulous hair-cut.

Me and Sakura visited Seri, this new uber cool Korean hair dressing chain that just opened yet another branch at Chinatown. The décor is really nice, with Victorian boudoir and really nice plushy couches. The lighting is fantastic although the place was rather warm. Must be caused all the steam machines and hair dryers in action.

Anyways, my hairdresser, Sena-shii is really nice! First she asked me why is my skin so white and she showed me her arm and commented that she is so yellow. LOL. I blushed. Then, she proceeded to ask me what hairstyle would I like. I wanted a really short and neat hair that is very all American crew. Then she prescribed me a style that would so suit me… the one that some Korean megastars have. Love it!

We chatted, and was in disbelieve when I told her that I majored in Science. I told her that I want to do fashion design next and she totally think that design would suit me more. It struck me like a lightning….

All my life, I love Science and design is my hobby. Any sensible boring fart will then proceed the route to do Science as it seems more respectable, stable and ‘normal’. At least that is what the 18 year old naïve me had thought. Over the years from a teen to an adult, I saw that if I want to give 110% of myself in my work and be proud of it and also enjoy it, I will have to go with design.

I love the company of my Scientific friends. They are not bothered that I may style differently from them. Their basic T-shirt and blue jeans are endearing in a way to m e as well. Yet, many can see that Science is not perhaps the thing I should be in. I don’t look like a Scientist at all. That, my previous supervisors and Sena-shii can tell from a glance.

Have I been ignorant about myself or blinded by the King of Boring Farts. I admit that I was dazzled by the easier way out to do Science. Afterall, it had been quite convincing that Science can give me a good life, where I may once in a while feel out of place but things will be fine in the end.

I love Science, and I always will… but I want to try other things as well. I want to be a flight attendant if I get the opportunity, for a couple of years and I want to be doing design for the rest of my life!! I don’t car it is freelance or for someone. I am 22 and the clock is ticking…

Still, I have to get past the first hurdle… get a job (eew so anti-climax)…
