Serendipity

Got to know this meme from Kennysia.com, to post 8 photos of yourself with 8 different hairstyles.

Well, though I belong to the female species, I seldom change my hairstyles. If you know me for more than a decade, chances are, you’ve never sported me in short hair [except in secondary school years. My face doesn’t suit short and spiky hairstyles, though I yearn to do so.

I believe I’ve never told anyone about my ’secret wish’, except him. If I were slim one day, I’d do an album of myself, nude. I’ll also cut my hair short, standing on ends.

It’s seldom that I feel damn good about myself. So here you go, my collage of photos, in compliance with the meme.

I’m sexxxxy! :p The tattoo is photoshopped on, though I’m tempted to do a real one. =x

And in case you’re wondering, I was trying out some eye-mask for the top left photo, and it just so happened that my hair was in 2 cute, chun-li buns.

Being the rather observant person I am, I’m usually the one who spots friends and greets them first, or I’m the one who spots my friends’ friends before they themselves do.

Speaking of which, most of the time I see acquaintances, and since they don’t seem to recognise or see me, I don’t bother to go out of my way to tap their shoulders or wave hello. Exception is when I see my buddies on the streets, to which I’ll do whatever possible to catch their attention, DISCREETLY.

Usually I’d try to catch their attention and break a smile at them, and if they don’t see me, I’d just move on.

These few weeks, I’ve been bumping into his friends quite a lot. While it may be awkward, I’d still look at them, and should they look back, I’d still smile in acknowledgement.

But no, they don’t seem to recognise me nor see me, given the benefit of the doubt. And thereafter, when I bump into the same people, I don’t even bother to try to smile at them, knowing they won’t be able to see me, somehow.

Today, it happened again. The friend happens to live near my buddy, QW, and took the same 502 bus [after my NDP performance]. I kept looking at his direction, and he doesn’t seem to recognise me, so I just found a seat and sat down. Granted, I never really spoke to that friend before, so it doesn’t really matter.

But I’m just ‘perturbed‘ by this sudden leash of invisibility.

Mr Fireworks made me cry again. And somehow, even though they are short-lived, they seem to be pretty much the same old stuff. Boredom. :p

There’s No Place I’d Rather Be [click to listen]
Music & Lyrics: Jimmy Ye

I’ve walked the streets of Cairo and Bombay
I’ve seen the neon signs on old Broadway
I’ve climbed the Eiffel Tower,
The Great Wall in one hour,
Experienced sweet and sour but that’s okay.

Seen Hollywood, the sunsets in LA.
The London Bridge, Big Ben, the Thames, UK
I’ve crossed the River Kwai
Yet still I don’t know why
I think of you each night and every day.

There’s no place I’d rather be
You’ll always be a part of me
And even though I’ve roamed the world
It’s still my home I long to see.

This is where my family
And my friends grew up with me
So I’ll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be.

Cos there’s no place I’d rather be!

Nice song, and the tune’s similar to another theme song of the previous years. But I think this year’s song is quite hard to catch!! -.-"
