Looking your way!

During those days when I was in the polytechnic, my faculty was situated at a “hilltop”. Sometimes, I will walk up the slope through the side gate. And sometimes, I will walk through the main gate up a less gradient slope, pass the other faculties like Business, Accountancy.
Getting to school was a real hectic one I remember. When I was staying at my old place, I have to walk 15mins to the bus stop. Then walk another about 10mins up the slope to my tutorial room or lecture theatres.

8am lesson is my MOST dreaded lesson because I will have to plan backwards and minus away the travelling time, I have to still wake up at 630am! So if I do wake up at 630am, I am only left with 15mins to bath, comb hair, look good and then get out of my house.

What really left my mouth gapping is when I reached school and I see gals from other faculties already dressed to the nines with make up…
I usually find it quite amusing cause I hardly even have the time to brush my hair lest talk about putting on make up.
My guy friends will usually like to go through Route 2 cause got pretty gals to bowl over. And they will always ask me “Sigh… You ah! Must learn like them la!”
I gave them my dagger stare and said “I am good already!” though I was just clad in berms and T-shirt.

I guess keeping my face free from make up has been part of me already.
No one has really seen me with make up unless they go for weddings together with me. Sometimes, I find myself looking like a “painted cat” when I do put on make up. Haha!!!

I was actually reading the news from ChannelNewsAsia this afternoon and saw this article that got me go “hmmmm….”
“Plastic surgeons see 20% more patients during festive seasons”
I feel that lately, looking good has become quite an in-thing.
There are shows on being slim, making over, looking good.
Sometimes, I wonder – Isn’t it sad that in reality, there are many who feel inferior when they are with the “perfect” look.
But again, what is a perfect look?
