Long hair

While digging through my 11+ year old CDROMs looking for old debating pictures, I ran into other pictures that were taken during my student days.

Here’s one from 1994. This isn’t too visible from the picture, but I kept my hair long when I was in my final year in NTU. Not till past the shoulder length sort of thing, but just about long enough to have tied it up using a band.

How did that come about? Well, I figured that since I was in my last year as a student, I’d better start trying out things I would not be able to effect when I started working proper soon. My Godmum was amused. My mother was less so but she was tolerant enough not to banish me from the house. And I wasn’t dating anyone that year, so I didn’t need to impress anyone.

Which is really sort of cute, since that’s been the only point in my life so far I’ve kept my hair past the short crop with a partial left side parting. These days, Ling knows I get really uncomfortable when my hair grows long, and it’ll be a trip to one of those cheapo/quick-n-dirty 10 minute pseudo-Japanese barbers to cut it short again.:)
