Hairstyles

I'm bored and I have nothing to blog about. So sue me. Since I've just finished watching 50 First Dates, and I don't feel like watching another movie, I'll blog about the changes I've gone through instead.

People say that the factor that determines a girl's look is the hair. That is why thing that I concern most is my hair. So, warning! This post will be filled with my narcissistic pictures which may cause nausea, high blood pressure, heart attack and sudden lost of consciousness.

Since I was young, I was never allowed to have short hair despite how much I loved short hair. My mom always says that, "Girls are supposed to have long hair." So, being a good daughter that I am, I never went against it. So my hair since I have hair until Form 5 was like this.

Not that long actually. Been longer than this.

That lame hairstyle. I did not like it but I did not dislike it either. Straight bangs and straight ends. I mean, if my hair were silky smooth, it would be beautiful. But my hair weren't even close to soft! I was ok having this hairstyle but of course, I grew bored of it and wanted to go for a new look.

Anyway, after Form 5, during 2007 Chinese New Year to be precise, my mom for the first time ever, allowed me to cut my hair. But not that short either. Shoulder length, that is. Well, I was ok with it since I wasn't even allowed to cut my hair this short before this. And well, I kind of like it.

2 Japanese girls and me.

Since I have had long fair for like 16 years, it's only normal if my hair 'bounce' once I cut it short. By 'bounce' I mean 'kembang' la. It was ugly. I looked as if my head got bombed. So the solution was to pick up the 80's style by wearing a hair band. And well, it was lovely :)

The following month, I got my hairstyle changed again. I would say that was my favourite of all hairstyles I had until today. It was so 'round' XD I thought that was the hairstyle that suits me best but I changed it anyway. It was difficult to maintain. I had to blow my hair everytime after I wash my hair.

Well.. unclear but still!!

Before I left for Kampar, I got an easier to maintain yet, up-to-date hairstyle. They called it the 'Bob Head' where the back of your hair goes up exposing your nape. I wanted to have that hairstyle since Form 4 or Form 5 after I watch Prince of Tennis and I persuaded Eunice to change our hairstyles together. She did not rejected my offer rudely but I can see through her expression which says like, "What the heck? You want me to cut that?"

It's not obvious but I guess you can see my hair went up behind.

A year later, it was the most famous hairstyle and she got that hairstyle as well. Doesn't this just prove my high taste in fashion? I was able to come up with that style one year before it became 'the hot'. Ok, ok. I shall not flatter myself too much XD

I kept that 'bob head' hairstyle pretty long since I did not trust the hairstylist in Ipoh or Kampar to give me a new look. During my second sem, I came back to Klang and got my hair trimmed. I trimmed of the 'triangle back' of the bob head hairstyle and went for straight end instead. Layered, of course. I went for straight ends because I planned to grow my hair.

My hair was damned straight and I did not even straighten it.

After about a year of having short hair, I kind of miss my long hair and I thought after it's long enough, I can change another style (mainly because since my hair was short, the styles available for me were limited).

Not long ago, in my third sem, I went to 'slice some hair off' since my hair was too thick and it looked messy. And just for the fun of it, I got myself pink stripes. Some very attractive hot pink stripes.

Attracts attention, no?

Two days into this style and I saw a girl in my university with the same stripe. She copied my style! @#$%^&*!! And two weeks into the new hair do, more and more people have the stripe. With the same colour, to boot! Damn! I'm changing my hair style!

'Chiou' leh?

So now, my hairstyle is just normal. Layerd, a little below shoulder and black. I do not know what the next style is going to be and I do not know what I'm cutting it. I do have thoughts to straighten it though :) but nahhh...


P/s : Man. Utd. will be meeting Barcelona tonight at 2.45 a.m. (or rather, tomorrow morning). United will be playing home and sure as hell I hope United will win because if they win, they'll be qualified for the finals of Champions League.

P/s + P/s : I noticed that ever since I've included a short note on Man. Utd. in my blog, United have been losing or draw against other teams. If United lose tonight (God forbid) I'll stop mentioning about Man. Utd.'s match before the match ever again. Yes, I believe in this superstition. Anything for the sake of United'd victory.

Plans for Third Sem Break

And so, it is my third sem break for a month. Supposedly, it's just a three weeks break but since my exam ended a week earlier, it makes a month break! Yay but at the same time boo.. Yay because it's a break :D And boo because break means lots of time and lots of times means boring =_=

I'm bored. That's the reason for my ramblings now XD So let me draft out what I'm planning to do this holiday.

One. Watch the movies I've illegally downloaded which are 50 First Dates, PS I Love You, Brokeback Moutain (yes, but I'm not gay. Guat Shan asked me to download this! >.<), Without A Paddle (though I haven't downloaded it. Planning to.), War of In Laws 2 (the HK drama), Chow Cheng Chi movies, and some animes. Do recommend if there are any nice ones, ok?

Two. Go sing karaoke in the haunted Green Box in Jusco Bukit Tinggi. Just in case you havent's heard of it, it's haunted. I cannot 100% assure you that it's haunted, but I've heard from several different sources and they all came to the same conclusion. One of the sources came straight from Guat Shan's mom's friend's son. It seems that this boy, along with 4 of his friends went Green Box one night. When they asked for the bill, the Green Box workers charged them for 6 persons. When questioned, the workers said that there are indeed, six person shown on the CCTV. Some even say cinema 4 and 5 are haunted. But of course, I'll go in the morning :D

Picture taken at K-Box Ipoh, and they are all humans.

Three. Finish writing one or more of my short stories.

Four. Maybe go shop around with my sis for some shoes. These days, I kind of have shoe fetish. This is not weird for girls. I have like only 3 pairs of shoes now and this is considered little for a girl. My mom have like a pair for each of her garment. Some are still brand new! And Guat Shan have like I don't know how many pairs. She just buys when she feels like buying. And my sis have heels for every different occasion as well. Yes, that is normal. One season, it's fetish for shoes and another, it'll be fetish for bags, clothes etc.. Girls!

Guess which is mine?

Five. Pack my bags for my Sarawak trip. I'll be spending 5 days of my holiday in Sarawak- Kuching, Sibu and Sarikei to be more precise. This trip was pre-planned since sem 2 in which the people who will be joining me are Guat Shan, Sito, Ah Wei and Ken. More updates by then.

Six. Well, if possible, I would like to cook :)

Onigiri or Japanese rice balls. Made during study week.

Seven. A week or so after coming back from Sarawak, we (the same old housemates) plan to drop over at Kenji and Leon's place (they share the same apartment). They rented an apartment in Setapak since they'll be pursuing their courses there. Kenji, Khai Chiah and Wei Chyi will be back in Kampar 1.5 years later but Leon and William will only come back 2.5 years later. By the time the two come back, I'll only have like half a year with them before I graduate, of course, unless I have to resit my year(s).

Pyramid of Friends.

Eight. Do some crafts, maybe? It has been a while since I last laid my hands on crafts. I made some labeled 'key chains' for my friends after exam and well, I still have the hook of it. Since I've bought some red threads, I'll continue to sew the 'Fu' word for my mom. The last time I did, I ran out of threads. Searched everywhere in Klang but still can't get bright red. Somehow managed to bought a few from Kampar. All the way from Kampar, for God's sake!

Nine. Wait for my Monbukagakusho Scholarship letter. If I passed the form screening stage, I'll have to revise for the test. Subjects included are Mathematics B, Biology, Chemistry, English Language and Japanese Language and I've only brought home my Biology books. How bias of me. I have no confident for Mathematics and my Chemistry is just so-so. Worst still, I do not have any Sciences in sem 3 which means, everything is vague. My Japanese is only in Level 3. So, well, as much as I want to go Japan to study, the test stage freaks me out. Not only that. If I passed the test stage, I have to undergo the interview stage in which if I fail, I'll bid the scholarship goodbye. But if I were to pass, I'll still have to study the language for 1 year plus then sit for the Japanese university entrance exam. I guess you won't blame me if I hesitate to accept the scholarship, no? ^^;

Study also must style lah.

Ten. Lepak more? Sleep? Snap more photos? And think of what else to do. If I'm in Kampar, sure I'll go fishing though.


Long sem break for me indeed.

Edit :

As for item four, about buying shoes, my sis will only be back on 5th of May and I figured that I can't wait that long. And so, when I went to Jusco Bukit Tinggi for dinner just moments ago, my kayah bought me this pair of shoe.


Cute, no? Maybe you notice that the right foot shoe has an extra padding. That's because, according to the sales parson, my right foot is smaller =.=


Whatever it is, now, I have a pair of shoe for Sarawak! Yay!!

Last Dinner For Sem 3

Just like every other sems, yesterday we had a special dinner, some sort like a farewell dinner for ourselves, the housemates. Except for this sem, Sito wasn't able to join since she went back earlier and Leon too for some reasons but we have Kenji to join us. This dinner was suppose to be held every on every sem after our finals.

We went and bought the ingredients on Thursday morning since yesterday morning we had to sit for our Web Page Deisgn paper. Anyway, the cooks for this sem were Guat Shan, the expert in soup, Kenji, the expert in herbal dishes, Ah Wei, the expert in new dishes and me, the expert in the same dish-but-always-different-in-taste dishes XD And let me tell you it's a good thing because I'm sure no one wants to taste the same thing every week.

I cook with style :D

So, I started cooking at 4.50 p.m. since I need to blend the garlics for my curry. I was a little unsure since it was my first time cooking curry. Since we do not have blender, I used the ermm.. the 'bowl and cylinder made of rock' (whatever you call it) thinggy. Hence, I started peeling the garlics and smashing them into a pulp. When I was about to cook, I found out that I was supposed to use onions not garlics. Doomed!

But anyway, since I'm the expert in new taste, I continued my cooking with garlics. Half way cooking, I notice that my curry was lack of santan. My mom usually use 1 kg and I only bought 1 biji. Now, my curry looked more like rendang. Damn!

My curry-rendang.

Ignore that, it tasted ok anyway. Rendang is still in the curry family, no? XD

The other 3 cooks, Guat Shan, boiled melon soup.


Ah Wei fried some colourful fried rice.


Kenji steamed 'yin yong' fish a.k.a fish with 2 different taste.


Looks delicious, no? Of course it is. I mean, of course the dishes were better than what we cooked in sem 1. Back in sem 1, all we use were instant and canned food and heck, we were so proud of it. Have a preview.

Sem 1 Dinner

Sem 3 Dinner

Yes, we've improved a lot. Maybe by the time we graduate, we can forget about being Scientists, we can open a restaurant.

P/s: Manchester United will be facing Chelsea tonight in Stamford Bridge. Win this Man. Utd. and we'll be a clear 6 points ahead of the blues!

Edit : 2-1. @#$%^&*!!!

I'll Miss You, TD-ies

It's my exam week so I do not have the time to make a long and lengthy post. Ironically, I do have the time to make a short slide-show-movie -_- (Time taken to upload this video, 6.5 hours! *is annoyed*)

Anyway, since there are only 2 days left before the separation of Science Stream students (the Physics stream, TD will be leaving for Setapak and PJ), I made this video as an appreciation for the friendship I have with the TD-ies through out this one year.

We might not meet again, we might not remember each other after 5 years but whatever the future is, let us not forget how we effected each other, be it positive or negative.

P/s : Manchester United will be meeting Barcelona (away) today in Champion's League. I'm not hoping for too much. Maybe just 2-0, United's favour, of course :D

Edit : It was a nil-nil draw and Man. Utd. only possessed the ball for like 36% through out the entire match. Worst of all, Ronaldo missed a penalty! D: A bit disappointing but don't worry, there's still a home match. *sees light*

Study Week (Short Update)

Omg! I've been trying to update this post since yesterday thanks to the stupis streamyx. I just feel like plucking the router out, burn it and throw the ashes into the lake. Anyway, yes, I'm having my study week now. So, this is just a short update on how university students behave on study week (although this is not the case most of the time) XD

Day after tomorrow and it'll be our final foundation exam. 'Tambah Minyak'!!

P/s: Manchester United will be facing Blackburn later at 12.15 a.m. and Chelsea is just 2 points behind Man. Utd.. So, Man. Utd. must win the match later!

Edit: Man. Utd. ended with a 1-1 draw againts the Rovers :|

A- Nerd

Alright, so I was browsing through the net and I came across this nerd test and these are my results.

So I'm more of a Science/Math nerd, huh? And second to tech/com nerd? Okay, I can accept that but I'm 28% a dumb/dork/awkward nerd? ...the hell?

After adding some facts, subtracting the uncertainties, multiplying the actualities, dividing the qualms, differentiate the suspicions, integral the truth, power the details and surd the doubts, I'm equivalent to an A- nerd. Should I be happy? :D
