What do you see in that colour?

At Glasgow botanical garden on the first week I was there.

In the park of Glasgow it's easy to spot people basking under the sun. For an Asian like me upon looking at such scene, can't help but to think all this people were out of their mind. When the next summer came I was one of these people sitting on the grass basking under the heat of the summer sun. For months waking up to the autumn and winter weather, cold and wet was all i ever felt. It was really pleasant to see the sun and the heat when summer came. Once a while when the wind blew my way, the cool air was still felt but the heat of the sun soon disperse the coldness.




The summer after a year. Was sun bathing.

What do people do when they sun bath you ask. Some had their lunch, some took naps, some hang out with friends, some just relaxed and watched the world moved around them. Then it occurred to me that no matter if you were black, Caucasian or Asian, everyone was having a good time under the sun.

Back to real time, I recently dyed my hair to a lighter shade. Does it ever occurred to you that the colour of your hair could define who you are? In a way affect the public perspective on you? Take for example, blondes are always view as bimbo. Even if you are not born blonde but by dying your hair blonde could send a public perspective of you being a bimbo. It never occurred to me until recently. I see people by their character and not by their hair colour. And I assumed everyone do but I was told that hair colour do affect the public perspective on your character. Before I did my hair, I was told by my colleague not to dye my hair blonde because people will get impatient when facing a blonde. I don't know how much this is true but I had my share of experience.

I went to work with my newly dyed hair. A lil shade of blonde and lighter shade of brown. I tried to test the theory of blonde causes impatientness. All I can say is no cases of impatientness but I faced a lot of troubled patient. Not a good day I must say. One patient came up to me and start throwing tantrums over paracetamol. I clearly told him I gave what the doctor wrote on the prescription and he understood that it's the doctors fault. Nothing to do with me but still he wanted to do all the dramatizing in front of me. Do I look like someone that you can just throw out your frustration on. I want my black hair back. At least no one dares to pull this act on me. I could 'sell' my advise faster. I guess this hairdo makes me look younger and more stupid where people don't 'buy' what I was telling them. The 1st patient I dispensed with this hairdo pulled an act of counting the total types of his medicine to make sure all his medicine is enough. *faint* start the day with the patient thinking I am some dumbass. Now I just need to convince them light shaded hairdo people are NOT dumb. In fact they are the best! I'll show them.
