Getting older… and hopefully wiser

September 28, 2009 Paris B 24 Comments

Look what I found while combing my hair last night…

hair

A pure white hair!

Admittedly it isn’t the first I’ve ever found on my head but coming on the cusp of turning a year older it is a nasty reminder of age catching up on you. It was so traumatizing I had to go lie down 😛

So excuse me if I’m feeling a little blue 😛 *drama queen*

    Aw Paris don’t be blue! 🙁 This is completely normal! Think of it as a complete new chapter in your life! (Not sure about your age but a new birthday is always the start of something special :))
    Hope you feel better, love!

    Paris, I have been colouring my hair for so long, I don’t really know how much gray I’ve got!!

    Besides, this is an opportunity to experiment with cool hair colours!!

      Yeah I know – I’m only glad my hair usually goes blonde/gold instead of white for now 😉

    I have quite a few white hair myself. It’s normal, don’t worry Paris. And you can always dye them and experiment with colors. Happy birthday!

    PB, I’ve found a couple of white hair myself, and I don’t blame the age, I blame stress 🙂 And with your work? I’m sure its because of stress 🙂

      Hey Nikki

      You know what? That might be it too! Stress is terribly aging.

    Definitely stress if its around this age. You were probably thinking too much about something.

    Don’t be blue Paris! You’re far from old lah!
    I started graying in my early 20s…but who cares!
    Only problem is I have to constantly dye my hair which is a pain!! Total genetics on my end, since my dad was graying in his teens–shocko.

    Happy Birthday dearie!!!

    Well. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been having white hair since I started working. Serious. So, it’s been.. what, 4 years I’ve been having white hair?

    But yea, I screamed my lungs out too, the first time I found a strand. Now it’s like, “Bah. Humbug!” LOL.

    Aww PB 🙂 White hair can be cool too! Plus it’s a right that one usually has to earn slowly with respect and dignity through the journey of life.

    If it makes you feel less traumatized, then I won’t be shy to admit that I’m barely 20 and I’ve had strands of white hair popping out here and there since my teens 😉

    Mine’s likely a combi of stress and genetics… although I don’t know why a gal who hasn’t even started the horrors of working full time has to put the blame on stress 😛

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️

I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
