There's just something monumental about getting a haircut. I'm not one to go for a haircut all the time, it's because to be honest, I really really love my hair. It's the only thing that makes me feel pretty, alhamdulillah.

Ever since I started wearing a hijab, I started getting a massive amount of hair loss, some of that beauty I once had, has slowly disappeared. Every time I give my hair a wash, a huge chunk of it will be lost. I guess it's time for a haircut.

After I got my haircut, it just made me feel like I needed to change. Not only physically, but my lifestyle. Its like, a new era. So I'm trying out something, most possibly a thing I've not usually done before. Like, organising things, and really starting to consider being more disciplined, and more importantly, get over my past.

I've also started trying out an activity I call, "gym hunting". I bought a class package under Guava Pass. So far I tried out Hiit2Fit and Fire2 Studio. Fire2 Studio was okay and friendly, though their bikes need improvement. Hiit2fit's technicality was amazing, because you can check your heart rate while you are working out so it shows how much effort you have put in to your workout. But the coach was unfriendly and everyone was unsupportive and unsociable. Hopefully they can work on that.

But that doesn't mean I would completely change the things I do. I'm not sure I've said this before, but after the SPM and A-Levels debacle, I slowly stopped doing the things I usually do. For instance, read.

I've been reading good books nowadays and there is not one book that I've read thus far which have disappointed me. I've read The Boyfriend List series and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. It is a light-hearted book, and the author manages to slip in some mental health sentiments into her work, which I find astonishing.

I think I am too caught up with my problems that I do not see other people's lives and how much more horrid life can get. I've read Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns and I've bawled over and over again, as much as I did for his Kite Runner book. I like ATSS more because it looks at the suppression of women in Afghanistan. It made my heart shatter when I read the afterword because some of the things that happened to the fictional characters Mariam and Laila were actually based on real life events. One day when I look back at this post, possibly when I have more funds for myself, please please consider donating to the UNHCR or The Khaled Hosseini Foundation for Afghanistan.

Truthfully, I miss the joy of reading. The feeling when you just can't stop reading your book. I love LRT rides, waiting for my friends, sitting on the couch late at night, just to have a good reading session. And here's to you, Aynn. Never, ever, change.
