The saga continues..

So this is the 4th instalment of "The Chronicles of My Bad Mood" saga. One would be wondering what could be wrong now since I got home yesterday, spent time with lovely family and caught up with friends whom I haven't seen for ages.

Despite the super long journey home (delayed bus and traffic jam), pimples which pop out like volcanoes, and the lousy exam result which I barely scraped through, I was still happy and glad just to be home. Until this afternoon.

You see, I went for a haircut a few hours earlier. Now, some of you out there might've known already my trips to the salon usually ends up in disastrous outcome, save for a few rare ones (Ideas). So, nothing new and I should have expected this right?

But come on. How difficult isit to just give a person a bob cut like this.

Just have to cut it straight across the whole hair length right?

My hairstylist (It's out of courtesy I did not call him a hair-cutter) of the day was a rather cute young guy, with a hairstyle ala Kim Hyun Joong in infamous Korean F4 drama serious.

The current hottest hairstyle which is all the craze for Korean male celebrities.

I still think Jae Joong of DBSK wears it better though. There's no denying this guy's just HOT.

Back to the story. Judging by the cool hairstyle and nice dressing sense that guy has, I thought he would give me a decent hairstyle. Or at least something close to what I want.

Here's how our conversation goes.

Kim Hyun Joong-Wannabe (KHJW): What haircut you want?

Me: Something like a bob. Cut straight behind and I want the sides to be long though. Not too layered.

KHJW: You want something like your current hairstyle?

Me: I want the behind to be shorter and less layered, so it's more like a bob.

KHJW: You had a bob last time?

Me: Not really.

KHJW: Ok. So this is what I'll do..(proceeds to "explain" whatever he's going to do to my hair)

10 min later.

KHJW: This portion (refer to the back part) is rather thick. I'll try to thin it as much as I can.

Me: Er, I don't want it to be too thin. I prefer it "pong" anyway.

KHJW: Ok. (proceeds to thin my hair anyway)

Me: Er, don't shave too much off ok? Cause I prefer it to be "pong" and I still wanna tie it sometimes.

KHJW: Ya, sure. Too thin will make your hair very frizzy when you tie it. (still continuing to thin off my hair though)

Me: -_-" (decided to trust his proffesionalism).

KHJW: How you want your fringe to be?

Me: Below the brows, I want it to be swept to the side though.

KHJW: OK. (Snips of a LARGE portion. Tries damn hard to make it right but it's too late.)

KHJW: Errr, I don't think your fringe can cut any shorter liao, cause they will become "qiao".

Me: "Bloody hell, then why snip off so much in the beginning????!!!". Alright. Just leave it. I'll fix it later.

KHJW: I try to blow-dry for you first. (Proceeds to blow-dry and comb frantically but of course to no avail).

Me: It's ok la. I'll wash them later and see how.

KHJW: Alright. (Thin off more hair from the right side.)

Me: -________-""""

KHJW: We're done. (Brings a mirror and justifies whatever "creation" he has made)

Me: (Too tired to argue.) Ok, can I pay now?

The end product is something so totally different from what I've wanted and described. I've got a short bang instead of a side swept one, VERY layered hair, and totally not a bob. In short, it's the typical Muarian Ah Lian's cut which most of the "hairstylist" in Muar so hell-bent on giving me. I swear it's a conspiracy between them. Would have argued with him if it weren't for I wasn't feeling too well then.

Which makes me wonder. Is it my communication ability or their understanding ability. And I could almost swear they are all trained from the same academy. The watever theory of haircut they cited to me sounds almost identical, word to word. Bloody academy. Never teach how to access different people with different needs though.

Mum did not make it any better by keep telling me it's like no different, except for the bang which is ugly. She kept saying I should crop it shorter like what Rui En had in the "School Daze" drama (somehow she thinks I resemble her a bit).

On days which I'm ugly, fat and pimply, I would toss my hair for a bit, and would smile because at least I still have gorgeous hair.

Now that I'm ugly, fat and pimply, whenever I toss my hair I want nothing more than to hide under a rock. Or perhaps I could don a school pinafore, go back to school and try to blend in as one of the Muarian Ah-Lians.

In case you are wondering how bad it is, here's a preview.

Guess it's karma for laughing at those hideous extensions.
