For the last three years, ever since I gave birth to Jaden, life has been pretty routine.
For the past one month, it became even more routine than ever, with me having to prepare at least 3 full meals, a full cup of fruit juice, a fruit or two at least for him to munch on after his cod liver oil intake... and oh did I mention the constant washing dishes that never stops till he finishes his dinner? *wink*
One of my friends commented after I told him that I do a lot more than I used to in the kitchen and my time is usually spent in the kitchen area that I really need to take care of both my hands and it struck me hard. I used to put lotion everyday, caring for it when I was like going to go out with my potential boyfriends but now, after being married, its more like blah blah, like who cares anymore about my hands? LOL but its true, I guess I do have to still maintain lest that man in my life turns to other women..
Ok. I lied about me not caring any longer about my appearance. I am still pretty much a low self-esteem girl and I do feel so much better when I dress up, put on those heels (which has collected so much dust), make-up (though my skills suck major time) and have a good hair day. Hey! I am a girl after all and by making myself appear presentable enough to go to public places makes me feel human. There are many times I go out with my naked face (trust me! bad bad idea to look at me) and t-shirt and shorts and slippers. (I only do that when I have to rush out to buy something that is urgent / nearby / or when I think no one I know would be in that area) and when i do that, I really feel like I want to hide in a hole or something. Maybe its because of those two panda eyes I carry around with me. *ptuiiii* to natural beauty. Have you seen me au natural?
Well, anyway Hubby gave me a self-confidence booster yesterday when he volunteered to babysit Jaden for half a day and I go do my hair. For those that knows me, would know that I only do my hair once a year and well, it has been looong postponed.
So I made my appointment at a new salon and off I went to park my butt down from 1230pm-515pm. I came out feeling happy that the hairstylist was able to give me what I wanted (or near to it) and well, it had been quite a breather for me to be out of the house for once even if it meant these few hours.
I am sure Ms Ho is pretty much curious what I did to my hair, right? Well, I didn't have enough time to have it coloured just yet which I do intend to do. It has been far too long too black as long as I remembered except for the time I had it highlighted 5 years ago but that was a bad move! My bob from last year grew past my shoulders and I got what I wanted or half of what I wanted (half because no colour just yet) and I am aiming to go back to the salon in about three months time to do colouring. Anyway yesterday should have a lot of different chemicals in my head that I need to just go slow. The colour can wait. I am just feeling happy that I found another hairstylist I intend to be loyal to just because I like that he cut my hair and did my hair, listened and gave advice if this or that suited me more.
Total damage yesterday =RM388. So go guess what I did. LOL
and then I came back to the house.... back to chasing after Jaden to feed him his supplements because he absolutely refused to open his mouth for Hubby to feed him while I was away doing my hair. I tell you, this boy really knows who he can get his way with. Somehow I don't sound like a scary monster to you guys, do I, that till my son does mostly what I command him to do... its just that I am the stricter parent to him that walks around with the cane and whacking him without mercy.
Luckily the night before I had prepared a full tupperware full of pasta stir-fried with beef and onions. We decided to hit the Ikano Pulau Ketam steamboat, and with us, we took along Jaden's food and water, which was one of the best idea, because he was a hungry monkey and as soon as we were seated, his mouth started munching on his one big tupperware bowl of pasta, and of course a handful of meehoon and beef from my plate. Thats about what he could eat if he eats out but we try our best to avoid to let him eat out if we could.
Well, yesterday was good enough for me to feel a little free and now its back to being a full-time mother again until I head down to Sg next week by myself for a few hours (Jaden's Dr E's appointment). Woo hoo~ somehow I feel bad by saying this but I do love it when I get a few hours to myself like these...it really helps take off the everyday bits of stress in life.. I am not saying that I am really stressed out like others are but you know what I mean.. a little time to ourselves sometimes just helps us to stay sane. =) for me sometimes a cuppa hot tea can be enough for me to re-start my engine again after a 5-10 minutes break of mindrest and just tea.

Yes! I pledge my loyalty to Shunji Matsuo New Generation today onwards until my hairstylist shave me bald or runaway to Timbaktu. If not, I guess I shall just head there for anything that relates to hair from now onwards. I'm sorry, Monsoon ID that our relationship didn't last that long because my Eva ran away and I needed someone to tend to my hair (someone whom I can trust and a salon that is reputable -and also because Shunji Matsuo New Generation has an ongoing 20% promotion that I just could not resist!)
