It's so hard to find good sheet music on the Net, but when you get one that's really worth playing, you can get hooked on it for hours. I've been playing "Inochi no namae" (The Name of Life) on my piano almost every day. It's from the "Spirited Away" soundtrack, and Tabby's "Schindler's List" theme sounds way good too but way too impossible to play, if you ask me. Well, I'm working hard.

(I don't think my neighbours like it very much though. =p)

I got a haircut yesterday. I got a bit of hair cut. It feels way good... to be able to feel my hair again. The way you can walk with it loose and it just flaps against your shoulders, which it can't do if it's too long cos' it just hangs down your back and weighs you down. Now I know why people like to cut their hair when they're undergoing some major emotional changes. It's the thing that really transforms the physical You, and it's pretty cheap too. Just $10 and all you do is sit still.

Growing your hair long (I reflect) isn't that much of a change. Sure, you get to look different, but it feels more like growing into a role, instead of belly-flopping yourself into it (which is what a major haircut does to you). You leave your hair alone and it grows. Big deal. Chopping off your hair, on the other hand, has a get-things-over-with, something we call in chinese "shuang3 kuai4"-ness that feels powerful, almost like a high.

Ok. Guess I'm making too much out of a haircut. I can't wait for the day I can get my hair chopped off, though it better be for a good reason. I'm still growing it long for Prom, cos' I've never done my hair up before, and I wanna see what that feels like first.
