The Manual: How Hiaow Are You?

Stop pretending as if you dont care about how you look.




According to my acute sense of observation and detailed analysis, i deduce that there are essentially 5 level of hiaowness. Which level are you?






" Hiaow
vb a term used to describe a vainpod
Mally is so hiaow, everytime must spend at least 1hr in front of the mirror then
can go out one. "


Level 1

People with level 1 hiaowness are easily recognisable because looks are really last on their appearance. Personal grooming? Proper etiquette? What's that man? They live in their own world and the world revolves around them so there's really no need to care about appearance.


Usually they are very very busy people and that's another reason for their low level of hiaowness- they have no time to care! People in this category are too caught up with their hectic schedule and paper chase. They set high expectations for themselves and expect to accomplish everything. Naturally, appearance gets pushed down right to the last position in their list. I find it quite sad though.

Sometimes you see they just wear their pokadot pyjamas out of the house.


General Characteristics:
  • messy, unkempt hair coupled with sprinkles of dandruff
  • creasy garments with occassional holes
  • emit body odour(all the time)
  • thick plastic framed specs, usually black
  • bad breath
  • clad in slippers, flip flops, clig-clogs..
  • long, dirty nails which traps snails, slugs dead millipedes



Examples

Albert Einstein, thomas edison.




Level 2

Level 2 is a slight improvement from level 1. Level 2 people are usually associated to level people for they once share the same habits. Level 2 are usually level 1 people who have just experienced a failed relationship and begin to realise their inadequacies.



General Characteristics

  • combed hair, limits to side and centre parting ONLY (strictly no gel)
  • simple clothing like t-shirt and pants, maybe creasy at times
  • emit BO after strenous exercise only.
  • geeky spectacles
  • footwear upgrade to sandals
  • long but not so dirty nails.

Examples

Mary, Sally. (aiyah, i cant think of any specific ones here)




Level 3

Level 3 refers to most people and is a vast improvement from level 1. *applause

One out of 7 people on the street (excluding orchard road) belongs to this category. Secondary school students always fall into this sector of the society and it isnt a bad thing. i mean why spend so much time dressing up when your main priority is to study for O levels! hahaha! Feng liang hua. No need to be so hiaow one.


Usually at this level, people will proceed to level 4 hiaowness very very quickly once they have the time and money.




General Characteristics

  • Centre and side parting with gel, wax, hairspray
  • visits the barber regularly to make sure hair looks neat
  • clothes are ironed most of the time.
  • outing clothes limits to t shirt, jeans, bermudas
  • footwear is ALWAYS trackshoes.
  • nails usually cut
  • usually no body odour because sch give free deodourant YEAH!

Examples

Students.





Level 4


Population of level 4 category will spurt up after major exams are over and people got lots of free time to pay more attention to their presentation. They will go out more often, look at how other people dress, learn from them, buy their own clothes and establish their personal style. People in this level visit the restrooms regularly to make sure hair is in shape.



People in this level continuously seek for self improvement and are always in for the latest trend. Girls start to buy makeup, nail polish and do manicure during lectures (discreetly). They go shopping to search for latest fashion, making sure they dont become a laughing stock. But sometimes, they are not really sure of their taste and end up buying ugly things.


General Characteristics:

  • Neatly combed hair, sometimes with fashionable new hairstlyes are armani, blah blah.
  • Varied clothing with a commendable effort to impress
  • wears acccessories like earrings to add a personal touch
  • many pairs of shoes for more choices, although mostly are imitation
  • beginning to swtich from specs to contacts
  • never fails to put on deodourant and cologne, perfume.
  • nails nicely trimmed and cut
  • visits toilet regularly





LEVEL 5

WAHAHAH! The ultimate group of people, level 5s. No one can ever beat them in their level of hiaowness anymore. they are hiaow until cannot hiaow.

They turn whenever they see a reflective surface. Whether is it a display shelf or just a plane of glass, they never fail to take a glance. No, they're not looking at the items on display, they're checking on their appearance. In some cases, u see them fiddling with calulators, they're actually trying to see themselves inside. Sometimes they might just carry a mirror with them.

Super hiaow. They get irritated by small gushes of wind cause it disturbs their hair.

People at this level spend almost 80% of their allowance on appearance and they rather starve to death than look ugly. They are those that would wear small pieces of clothing in a freezing cold weather to look good. Even they die, they must look good. Girls will have all sorts of makeup, and colours from the entire rainbow spectrum.

General Characteristics:

  • Lots of fashonable hairstyles, everchanging
  • Dresses up to the nines and dress to kill
  • Try every single method to look better, including plastic surgery
  • Owns enough hair gel, wax, makeup to open a SASA shop.
  • Cupboard overflowing with clothes
  • Go for branded goods like gucci prada LV
  • Spend a bomb buying a LV wallet but no money to put inside
  • Particular about every single detail of their appearnace including the type,colour of socks
  • manicure pedicure everyweek
  • Visits the hair saloons more than visiting granny
