stress reliever

been pretty stressed & unhappy lately... funnily enough, the first thing I thought of was to go for a haircut. And that was what I did today after courts.

I used to dread going to the hairdressers as most of the time I end up hating my new hair cut. However, over the last 4 months, I've been to the hairdressers numerous times, even at lunch. Going to the hairdressers gives me some breathing space, time to digest the morning's events & to escape from the slew of phone calls.

Guess one can probably gauge my stress levels from the length of my hair. I've had long hair ever since my first year at university but after joining Zaobao in June, I've seen my hair shrink to shoulder length first, and then to a shorter bob.

Believe it or not, in my first month, I actually went to the hairdresser's three times, coming out each time with a shorter cut...

To be honest, i'm not a fan of short hair, but after each cut, my head seems to feel lighter and liberated me can finally think again. It's all in the mind I know, but it's one of the things that can make me happy besides binging on chocolates that make me fat.

oh yes n blogging n procrastinating when i'm stressed. need to get back to work... shall finish this some other time when i feel like having a go at escapism...
