Pardon the pictures. This is not meant to be an emotional post, in fact, I rather it be an inspirational one. It's just that I love these kind of pictures a lot, if you know. (They have the same kind of style.)

So, one of my first realizations in 2014 is that... it's time for a change! I think I have mentioned previously before about how much I love being stuck in my little comfort zone and I have been getting so used to it these years, I rarely stepped out of the comfort zone to do something different.

It's sounding so inspirational but actually, it's just relating to two very down-to-earth, daily matters.

1) My hair. I have recently just cut my hair again, despite having a bad feeling that day, despite me telling myself I'm never stepping into that salon because that stupid hairdresser always messes up my hair. And I found myself stepping in again, and because of staff constraint, he was the one who cut my hair AGAIN. Can you believe it?!!?!??! Okay, and needless to say, my hair looks messier and more untamed than it originally was. Totally defeats the purpose of a haircut.

What I meant to say was that, okay I experienced 2 really good haircuts there, with a particular hairdresser and he has since left that salon, and I have been getting bad haircuts since. Well, not necessarily bad, but hairdressers who don't understand how crazy my hair can be, and the kind of style I want. So, being the wise person I am, I should be changing to another salon right? But no, me being happy in my comfort zone and most familiar salon, refuses to leave in search of something better.

2) My eyes. Most people should have known by now that I've been getting red eyes ever since late August, and you probably see me in spectacles more often than you see me in contact lens. Well, it has been fine for the past 2 months and even when I was working in Gucci and working contact lens almost every other day except during my offday, and for 12 hours straight. But just yesterday, the red eyes came back again. I told myself umpteenth time I should stop visiting that particular optician's shop, because he hasn't been supplying me good quality. I have received, not once, not twice, but thrice. Three occasions of expired contact lens. Well, even if the supply came in with expired ones, as an optician, it is his responsibility to check before passing it to me. And of course, my own responsibility to check before wearing it, which I did, luckily I did, every single time.

But due to convenience's sake and slightly cheaper prices (neighbourhood shops always cheaper), I have been going back to him again and again and again. But issues kept cropping up again and again too. Because he doesn't stock up much supply, so he will order from his supplier if I need it. (Oh then tell me why someone who doesn't stock up much can have contact lens that are expired, considering contact lens expire a few years after manufacturing). Like I am taking a much longer time to get my contact lens. It was 2 days, then 3 days, then 5 days. I think I had enough.

Even though now I cannot change much (I can only grow out my hair) I am going to take a change from now on. And goodbye to these people. I hope I will never have to see them again. Too many chances given, it's time I step out of my comfort zone to find something better.

Also hoping it will apply to my school life and I will stop hiding in my shell hahah. It's my final semester afterall! Despite how much I am hating it.
