ah, Im waiting in HKG airport. The plane is delayed for three hours. The plane was originally meant to depart at 1.05am but now the estimated departure is 3.55am *ouch* Apparently, the plane from Sydney to HK is late.

*sighs* unfortunately, everything is closed! at this moment, I wish I was in Bangkok airport even though I know it would be so hot and stuffy. But at least shops will be open and I can buy some books/magazines to read. The only thing that is opened is Aishi (sp) Ramen and Cafe de Coral; well, we are given food vouchers.

I just found this free internet kiosk. woo hoo. I think I have a 15 minute limit. So I will be logging in again soon.

Oh this afternoon, I had a bizarre hair-cut. It was cheap alright, like HKD 108, which is about AUD 17? But in a pretty hip looking salon. Anyways, so after all the cutting and blowdrying I thought that was the end. THen the hairdresser started putting my hair up and setting it in with bobby pins! I didn't know what to say. He was twisting locks of hair on the crown of my head. And with the remainder of my hair he tied it in a lopsided pony tail. I think its supposed to be some honky or jap style or sth! I asked if he could (at least) make the pony tail centre because I thought I look really weird. I didnt want to offend him and say can you take it all down!

I actually kept my hair up for the rest of the day. It looked alright, but just wasn't me. And when I got home, I took it down and noticed for the first time, how shaggy my hair was cut. I had asked for layers, but I got more than I bargained for. I had some layers that didn't even reach my ear!! I cant even tie my hair half-up half-down. Now I'm wondering if he decided to put my hair up so that I wouldn't realize he layered it too much!

Oh, Im tired. I think Im going to take a nap. Cheers
