Anger

Sunday, 11 May, and it's Mother's day. A rest day and a nice day.

Had a good sleep and woke up at around 12, then headed to The Curve to meet my friends there. Everything seemed nice until before i have my haircut. Three of us wanted to have a haircut and therefore we went to this saloon named Snxxx, which claimed themselves specializing in hairstyling and the pioneer in Malaysia's hairdressing industry when it comes to introducing hair trends. Okui had his haircut here last time and it was quite nice... so with some expectation and excitement, we stepped into this saloon.

The junior hair stylist was quite talkative, and to make my expectation even higher, she guaranteed me that I'll be good looking with the new hairstyle. However, I already felt something wrong during the half way, but i thought that's just the way the haircut should be and therefore i kept comforting myself, kept thinking that it'll be fine... and i thought giving opinion while the hair specialist is concentrating just doesn't seem to respect them.

And the results really surprised me and i gave her a astonished look. The hairstyle just didn't suit me and in fact it was quite terrible. I kept telling her that my left side there seemed a bit unbalance but she insisted that it is the shape of my head, nothing to do with her. I leaved the saloon with unsatisfied and angry face, and my friend Dennis suggested me to go back and complain to them, rather let the incident to spoil my mood for whole day long.

So i went back to the saloon and complained to them. I guess my gaze could kill anyone who has a eye contact with me and that girl didn't show up. The other hair stylist came to me and tried her best but there was nothing much she could do...

Once bitten, twice shy, I'll never go back to that saloon again after i had my terrible haircut there. But from this experience, I realized that may be i was a little bit overreacted. It is never easy to control your emotion especially dealing with anger. According to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger: Anger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage." And i think he is right, you can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions... Sounds pretty easy huh? But I guess there is still a long long way to go...
