Permanent Hair Colour

Permanent hair colour apparently means it is not meant for colouring grey hair. No wonder those cute and attractive colouring kits don't work for me in the recent years.

So instead of meaning 'we colour your hair permanently', it means 'we colour only permanent hair colour'? Mind you, my grey hairs are very much permanent in colour and existence.

Hair colouring is rather an important topic (or action) for us women. In my younger days, hair colouring was a self pampering plan to look forward to while getting other hair treatments.

Choice of colour was often influenced by the current trends featured in my favourite fashion magazine, secretly hoping it can make me look like the model wearing colour! There are numerous brands out there to choose from, with a dark Asian mane, its hard to go wrong.

Now as life progresses and body starting changing it's pace with the growing numbers of candles on my birthday cake, hair colouring has become a chore.

Far from being trendy, I now focus on hiding certain contrasting strands on my head. For uniform and natural results, it is better to stick with natural colours, this, I learnt the hard way.

And hey, isn't our grey hair the sign of wisdom through the years of our life!

The perks of being a FTWM

Selamat Hari Raya & Eid Mubarak to all!

Since I am feeling rather happy today, thanks for the upcoming holiday seasons, I thought, why not look at the brighter side of life... why not look at the brighter side of being a full time working mother (FTWM).. Here are some points I instantaneously came up with (which is a good thing, no?):

1) Put my (donkey) years of school & university education into use at work
2) Build up my career, or at least, maintain it.. too lazy to climb the ladder
3) Keep my mind active and on the go while dealing with various issues at work
4) Have a retirement fund - good financial back up for when I am this grumpy old lady
5) Enjoy employment benefits - Medical coverage, family & personal insurance, covering my other half & Little One, so I can indulge on other worldly material luxuries, eg cloth diapers *evil laugh*
6) (Struggle to) Learn & be an excellent multitasker & master planner at work and home
7) Get hubby to help out with the chores at home, otherwise he's the second baby in the house
8) Try to take over the world (quote courtesy of Pinky & The Brain cartoon) - Ok that I am kidding, but if i get to accomplish my FTWM-ness, then I am on top of the world

Often I only look at the downside and stressful side of being a FTWM... Gets me so tensed and moody on certain days, it takes some knocking of sense into my head by hubby to perk me up. Not having time for myself, always rushing to complete house works on weekdays nights and the whole of weekends, and no time for exercise... then again with the amount of running around I do on the house chores, I think it pretty much makes up for the lack of exercise sessions.

But hell, life's not a bed of roses... then again it is a bed of roses, and the roses come together with thorns, no? Live for today or you will lose the moment worrying about it... so philosophical eh

Bite the shoe before it bites you

I'm your regular shopaholic shoeholic who (used to) buys shoes at the drop of a hat. Amazingly I've not bought new shoes in the past one year, since the pregnancy... Ok I'm not so holy, I got one pair of flats and one fake crocs Mary Jane in between, but it is negligible compared to my normal mode.

I'm in for most trendy and pretty looking shoes and sandals, and I don't care if it bites. I believe that a new pair needs to be worn a few times for it to adapt to your feet. You just need to tolerate some nasty bites that will heal with time. As they say, no pain no gain.
