Day 5: View from HKU + hair cut

Not much will be said in today's blog, the heat really gets to you. Being lazy today :)

But I visited HKU again to help out my roomy register. 

This is one of the views from one of the buildings, I have no clue what the names are yet, because the university is practically on a mountain side, so it gets confusing at times, getting to one building requires a million steps and 10 lifts...

Ok so I may have exaggerated a bit ...

Other from that...

I went to get my hair cut.

As some of you may not know, my hair was literally reaching my hips, I found it easy to manage back in AUS, but in HK I just couldn't, I'ld either sweat too much down the back side of my neck or didn't know how to style it up because I was so exhausted from the heat to do anything...

So I decided to get a hair cut, I did go to a recognized place but you needed a booking, as the saying goes...

Ain't nobody got time for dat!

I turned to one of the old school streets and saw an old Chinese man in a salon shop, and instantly though...

Hmm... It's a bit shifty, but it would do.

Yes. I was desperate for a hair cut, but I didn't trust myself enough with a pair of scissors. 

"Gotta support the small businesses you know."

As I entered his store, I spoke to him in Chinese, but I guess I still needed more practice as he didn't understand me too well :(  

To shorten my dialect as some weirdo fob, all I said was "cut"... "Bei yi chin?" (How much?) before i knew it he was whipping out a calculator with the digits. 

English was no help at all. So I didn't get the style I wanted.

My hair was in his hands...before I knew it about 30cm was gone. 

GONEEEE!!!! :(

It does feel weird with short hair, and i know what some of you might be thinking..

"DAFUQ thats not short!"

Well.. to me it's the shortest my hair has ever been since primary school.

I'm having mixed feelings about it. As silly as it sounds I miss my long hair, and it hasn't been even 24hrs yet, my pillow hasn't even styled my hair yet. Only time will tell how I'ld adjust to everything.

That's all for now. 

Bed hair update: 

~Good morning!! 

(It's really sunny outside)

Day 3: HK's humid weather + my troubles...

The warmth in HK is starting to get to me, most mornings I've been waking up with bad headaches..feeling dizzy, and tired. Tho I do drink plenty of liquids, I feel it's not enough. 

Just checked the weather forecast for this week, looks like it's gonna be another scorching day.. And throughout. 

I'm starting to miss Melbourne's unpredictable weather :(

In addition, there's no need to wear make up, the stuff just melts off your face, especially if you're outside most of the day. I've also noticed that my skin condition is not coping well to this weather... Hopefully, it's not an allergic reaction to something, and that I will adjust within the following weeks before uni starts, and get my daily routine back on track. 

I'll blog more later, off for some brekkie! :D
