I’m 35

I cant really believe that I’m 35 now, age is catching up. I really felt it everytime I had new addition to my small family. But now, 35, another 5 years that I’m going to start with 40s. So I gave it a thought, I have been so generous to family and friends around me but I’m a frugal to myself except food and traveling. So for this 35th birthday, I decided to have something different. I want a change, in some good ways, in so many things and for myself. So I told myself to get a new haircut. I had been fickle-minded about it, until I made the decision and told myself to go ahead with it before I changed my mind again. I made an appointment with a hairstylist that I had never met, showed her a pic of my sis and told her I wanted a Korean perm, something similar with my sis. I wanted to say that my hair was so virgin that I hadn’t had any perm or colours since birth but I got it curled when I was 8. At that time, big sis and I envied my mum so much so we asked the neighbour next door to perm it for us, it was some bubble curls that made my sis and I really ugly. But it was a history now, some beautiful memories we shared growing up together. So this time, I got myself a perm to celebrate my birthday. It doesn’t look much different, despite the price that I have paid. But I really love it because my hair seems to be volumised. Then I’m going to get it coloured two weeks later. The hairstylist told me to do it on a different day so that the chemicals won’t spoil my hair so I should trust her. Oh then I went for facial too, something that I missed for many years. In fact the beginning of July marks the busy months ahead for my family because mum’s and youngest sis’ birthdays fall on April and February while the rest of us are on the second half of the year. We have been busy celebrating birthdays for each other but I think I need a break for myself, which I think I’m an introvert.
