The Short Hair Scandal

Except for a short period of my life where I donned long hair (which was mightily unkempt), I've mostly sported the short or bob hair cut. I just didn't have the time to deal with the straightening, curling, or whatever it is that women are required to do before they get out of the house to buy a bag of salt from the grocery store.

I've wanted to write something about how An San, a rising archer from South Korea, got flack for sporting a short crop. Despite her performing with near stellar perfection.

How is having short hair a sign or declaration of anti-men?

Are men who wear their hair long anti-women, then? I don't even know where this is going because it doesn't even make sense. LOL.

Short hair is simply easier to manage. The flip side is that if you have to attend a gala or a big event, short hair is even harder to style!

PLUS, some women just look fantabulous with a short crop! Miley Cyrus, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, Meg Ryan, Natalie Portman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Victoria Beckham (I don't even remember her in long hair - lol), Katy Perry...so on and so forth.

And have you seen Anne Hathaway and Emma Watson in a boyish or bob hairstyles?

Get a grip.

I let that one blow past me. I pick my battles. But recently, another South Korean actress/entertainer got criticized harshly for chopping off her locks.

Song Ji Hyo, for as long as we remember, has always worn her hair long. Whatever wind blew her way that day, she decided to be free with the clipper and scissors. She went with the pixie cut and internet citizens went berserk!

Some people even demanded her stylist be fired. Like wow. You guys really know your priorities.

Come on, guys. Short hair is cool, it's chic, it's classy, it's convenient, and if someone wants to chop their locks off, so be it.

And what does short hair have to do with anti-men? Please, fill me on this one. I have no freaking idea.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
