Bad Hair Day
» motherhood
I wonder why the shoes found in HDB shops comes in sizes like 22, 23, 24, whereas those in shopping malls are size 2, 3, 4. Anyway, I finally bought the first pair of baby shoes for my girl. It is actually a pair of white colour open toe sandals with a yellow tweety bird. Sandals for her this time; I won’t have to worry about missing any cardboard inside the shoes anymore. Not very pretty, which is an important factor; so that I won’t have to bother about dirty black oil stains and resort to carrying her to avoid dirtying the precious leather, maybe never need to wash them at all. And yes, the sandals don’t squeak. I guess only parents find the “squeak squeak squeak squeak” sound amusing, everyone else probably gets a bad headache and tries to flee from the haunting sound.
And I bought her back to the same shop we went some months ago for a haircut. It was a total disaster. I specifically told the barber(ess) that she only needed a trim; I want to keep her hair long. But she snipped off so much of them. The front is so short, it further enhanced her “kok kok” forehead (like a big bulging bun). The back is short too, no way to try tying her hair this Lunar New Year. Damn ugly! And last of all, I don’t understand why she must insist on layering her hair. I thought I told her I wanted to keep the hair long, why create problem for me by cutting away all the longer hair! Argghh! Angry! Should have found a photo of those china doll hair style bob look to explain my point, she probably needed visual instruction! Won’t step into that salon again. Now I got to dig out those cute girlie hairclips to add some girlish touch to Yauyau.

Hee hee… at least your baby has hair to cut. Sara only has little itty bits of hair that stand straight up like a Golliwog! My husband’s asking me if we can gel her hair down for Chinese New Year…
I just noticed your baby’s first birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Any big birthday plans?

Ok, maybe I shouldn’t complained too much….but seeing the ugly hairstyle just makes me want to complain some more. Especially when Lunar New Year is coming, and also her birthday. Speaking of birthday, yah, PARTY time! Well, just a small party. Felt rather bad if I don’t have some kind of celebration for her.

Speaking of shoes, I also bought a pair of sandals for Ryan recently from Clementi. Nowadays I bring him out to the playground after his dinner and he keeps wanting to touch the ground and walk around. (not that he can walk or stand properly yet!) Just to keep his feet clean, I decided to get him a pair.

Same reason here, to keep the feet clean! I am also tired of washing her feet clean or keeping her off the bed and sofa after letting her wonder around at the lift lobby or playground.
