It was within the past few days when I realised, why girls take so long to get ready when they are wanting to go out. Heck, I'm a girl - for heaven's sake I look like one. But on the serious note, I do not bother with the things girls usually would to show that they love themselves.
It was last Tuesday when I joined the college's gym with Hema. After sweating out, we both went to the shower. She explained that she was always the last one out in the house, as by the time I was already dressed and good to go, she was still fussing about with her towel.
H for Hema, A for Azzie:
A: Wow Hema, you sure do take a long time. I'm done.
H: WHAT?! Ahaha... *pulls a lot of stuff out of the bag* I'm very vain. Everytime I shower I must moisturise. Don't you?
A: Huh? (Thinks of drinking water?)
H: Use moisturizing cream?
A: Once, in the morning, on the face...
H: That's it?
A: Pretty much.
H: How about at night? After you shower?
A: I don't bother.
H: Goodness gal, you're gonna shrivel up like a dried prune! I can't stand not moisturizing everytime after a shower!
A: *speechless*
Then it was only yesterday when I went to get my hair done:
L for lady at salon, A for Azzie.
L: You see your hair,
ah, very oily
worr. The oil block your follicle also, how your hair grow
like that? No wonder you got so little hair!
Aiyo. What shampoo you use? Colour your hair some more! No wonder your hair finish!
A: Um.... I use Loreal.. I wanted to protect the hair colour, somewhat...
L:
Cannot, cannot like that! How much hair you lose a day?
A: A lot?
L:
Got use hair tonic ar? Aiyo. I tell you that one not good. Your follicle all block. How hair want to grow?
A:...
L: What do you eat?
A:... Food?
L:
Ya la. You like spicy stuff? Sour stuff? Sweet stuff?
A: *in mind* isn't that practically.. everything?
L: You can eat, of course
lah, that's not what I am saying. But not too much of all that. Keep
natural...A: I eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
L: What time you sleep?
A: Depends. When there's lots of school work, very little. But I'm a light sleeper, 5 hours or less most of the time will do.
L:
AIYO! How like that? What kind of sleep is that?
A:... *in mind* When I shut my eyes for a period of time?
L: Your period ok
kah?A: Irregular. Sometimes there, sometimes not.
L: *GASP*
Ei, you got boyfriend or not?A:... *in mind* how is this relevant?! - "NO..."
L:
Fuuuh. Thank God.A: WTF. *gives the WTF look*
L: Haha. Laaa. Got boyfriend, no period,
like that no good right?A:.................................................................................
Alright. I get your point, I suppose. But anyway, is this what they meant, when a girl should love her own body? But what if I don't? I suppose that's why I'm oblivious to care about whether to buy this moisturizing cream or the other, whether the amount of sleep I am getting is
normal, what I am is what I eat... gah the list goes on. The thing is, I couldn't really care - till now! I suppose? Yeah. I am going to get my arse off this bean bag, and start shopping for... more skin products. And start cutting down on ice creams and ABCs... *gulp* and my precious caffeinated everything. Oh no.
1:46 PM Azzie's got style
