But after 4 days...



It's truly the best thing I've ever dared to force myself to try...

The ocean is vast and wide, filled with beautiful life that you do not see normally. Being so close to the wilderness truly change my perception on life. To be a bit cheesier, it's like diving had given me a new breath.

The Travelling Gup is now officially a Travelling DIVING Gup

Go try it if you had not... Seriously...

The Hair Story

Posing at one of Cambodia's ancient temples

As many of you would have known, I had my hair chopped short for the first time ever in the beginning of this year.

Well I have had a lot of different comments coming my way since then too. Bad comments are many but out shine by the good ones anyway XD ... I had weird questions too, like..

"Leonie!! You cut your hair ah??"

-.-"

"No lar... I woke up in the morning and suddenly notice it grew shorter!!"

**Thank heavens this is only in my mind not mouth**

it's not even a "Leonie!! you cut your hair!!", it is really a "Leonie!! You cut your hair ahhh?".

Can't resist rolling my eyes sometimes... XD

There are some reasons why I made this decision to slice my tresses. Many of you also know that I had been through what is now known as a very traumatic time of my life (I am such a drama queen * XD * )

The amount of hair cut off, to me, symbolizes the bad past which I want to let go. As new hair will grow from the root, that's the new fresh start that I want not dwell in the stupidity from the past. I had dyed my hair for the first time too =) This is the new color (for a new era) that I want to see in my life.

Have I told you how much I love my new hair? I love how it looks in the morning, I love how the color is so amazing in the sun light, I love washing it. I just love-love it...

I think I will be keeping my hair short for the time being. This new hairstyle kind of gives the illusion that I am younger. Age is catching up fast!! I am quarter of a century old this year!!

Looking forward to this weekend. I need a hair trim badly... My hair is in my face!!!
