I started shaving my legs... last year? See, I never bothered before that, I mean, its not that i liked having hairy legs or anything, i just didnt see what the big deal was. Its not like it was THAT bad, not visible from far, that's alright! JUST DONT STAND SO CLOSE TO ME!! :D im beautiful from afar, same goes for the acne problem, i guess. Just stand 4 or 5 steps away from me and we'll talk like that... i have boundaries?! HAHAHAHAHA or just dont wear your specs/contacts. Either way, it works.

But yeah no, i never even thought the hair on my legs were a problem until i was in form 4, after or before (can't quite remember the details now, OH IM OLD) sukan, i was sitting with my friends at the assembly ground just talking and laughing and being retarded (cause that was all high school was about, wasnt it? being retarded 24/7 and having no care in the world). when suddenly a guy friend of mine said,

'hey limay, your legs very hairy hor.'

:D

...

:D

...

:O

...

:/

Say what?!?!

So i look down at my legs and suddenly, SUDDENLY the hairs are all jumping out at me and LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME IM SO OBVIOUS WOOHOOOO!! and im like O.O wow, i never noticed you guys before. Hullo. and right after that i became more conscious of it, but i brushed it off and i said it didnt matter. IM TOO YOUNG TO START SHAVING MY LEGS, IM TOO YOOOUUUNNGG, just like how i was too young to start wearing makeup to school, and stuff like that. So i convinced myself that NO ONE CARES, and again, not visible from afar and WHO STARES AT YOUR LEGS TO NOTICE LEG HAIR when you go out with them?

FREAK.

he just HAPPENED to notice cause i was sitting hugging both legs in front of me, so it was noticeable then. right? right? exactly. *nodnod* so i didnt care, still wore my short shorts, mini skirts. Then in my first year in the UK, went to floormates room and we were all talking about it and she's like GASP YOU DON'T SHAVE YOUR LEGS?!?! blablabla (something about her boyfriend pointing it out to her so she realized they care) and i was like NUUOOOHHH I DONT THINK IT MATTERS! and she's like,

'you think it doesn't, but GUYS NOTICE OKAY. IT DOES.'

and im like,
'ITS JUST LEG HAIR, NO. I DONT CARE.'

and then she went,
'i have an extra shaver. you want?'

'NO.'

went back to my own room. one day later,

'hey so you said...'

TT

and that's when it started. was genuinely surprised at how fair my legs looked without the hair though. MY LEGS ARE NAKED WITHOUT YOOOUUU, NO AIR, NO AIR. okay, i honestly dont know where that came from, i guess its too early to be blogging? excuses, excuses. but i talked to a lot of my other girlfriends and i think everyone started shaving around the same time. Wow, reality slaps us hard in the face around THE SAME TIME, i don't know about you, but i find that pretty cool. Tempted to high five you all now. :D woohoo, VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE COMING YOUR WAY, hands up or you'll be slapped in the FACE! :D

Its funny though, how girls have to shave their legs and remove underarm hair when guys just have it so easy. WHO STARTED THIS SHIT?!?! So i googled and,

Removal of the hair from the underarms was part of a collection of hygienic or cosmetic practices recommended by Prophet Muhammad (570-632) as consistent with Fitra for both men and women and has since usually been regarded as a requirement by most Muslims.

In the West, the practice began around 1915 in the US and UK, when one or more magazines showed a woman in a dress with shaved underarms. Regular shaving became feasible with the introduction of the safety razor at the beginning of the 20th century. While underarm shaving was quickly adopted in English speaking countries, especially in the US and Canada, it did not become widespread on the Continent of Europe until well after World War II.
... STUPID WOMAN IN THE MAGAZINE. i BLAME YOOOUUUUUU. maybe she had some sort of genetic mutation and just DIDNT have underarm hair. Huh. i think it went from shaving underarm hair, to shaving legs to, removing hair from the ... yeah. HAHAHAHHAHAA reminds me of that conversation we (sara, bren, ping, seng, bryan, yaw) had over lunch? dinner? at MV, how it used to be the trend for women to have lotsa hair, and now its just, YEAH NO HAIR everywhere. HAHAHAHA

evolution gives us hair but we SHAVE IT OFF.
screw evolution? we dont need no hair?
save for the hair on our heads? huh.

Well anyway, its alright, it gives me the opportunity to do shit like this,

summer trip last year, at glasgow

*friend puts pant leg down*
