I Am Not A Bimbo!

Just because I like pink does not mean I'm a bimbo okay? Everyone has their own preference on different things. I have different preferences on different things. And a pink hair straightening iron is just something funky from the usual boring black, that's all. As long as they work the same and yet, can provide options in terms of colour, of course I'll choose one that I think looks cooler/funkier/cuter/nicer. So don't get me wrong. I like pink only on certain things. I don't like to wear anything that's pink be it shoes, clothes or even accessories.

I've been wanting to get a straightening iron since forever. My first straightening iron was a Vidal Sassoon and it was so chunky because it first came out like so many years ago. Dad bought it for me during one of my birthdays which I can't remember, probably 15th or 16th. And yes of course, I asked for it. If my dad bought a straightener for me without me requesting, the world is definitely going crazy already.

And I have been swearing by straightening irons ever since.

The only thing is that... most of the time I get really lazy to use it because I have to wait for it to get heated up, slowly straighten my long and crazy lot of hair, and all that shit. It sucks to not have naturally straight hair. My hair's not naturally straight, its more like wavy and sometimes I call it stubborn because the ends just flick to one side and it's really irritating. And it's not easy to straighten them either. I had to do it repetitively and it doesn't promise that the flicked part will stay straight.

That Vidal Sassoon straightening iron is of course broken by now. If it's still working, it would have been about 7 years and that's a crazy long life span for a straightening iron. I'm now using some unknown brand which my sis bought from... can't remember where. And it sucks. It fries my hair and makes my hair really frizzy. My hair gets caught in between sometimes and just gets pulled off. There's not a single time I shed zero strands of hair while using that damn thing.

I also have this stupid, useless Panasonic Curler/Straightener, which does not work too. It takes forever to heat up and doesn't really straighten properly. Even when I used it to curl my hair, my curls go straight within an hour.

Total waste of money =(

Ok enough of my boring stories about straightening irons. All I wanted to say is, I'll be seeing that pink baby (refer to picture above) in Melbourne in less than 2 weeks time! =D And after 2 weeks there, it'll be back with me in Malaysia!!! =D =D

It's a H2D MK4. Got it at a lower price in the Australian Ebay. I personally think Australian Ebay is more trustable if compared to the Malaysian Ebay. Anyhow, I couldn't find any Malaysian seller who has a good straightener like Conair, Babyliss, Remington, GHD etc etc. I heard Sungei Wang has a few shops which sells them but ahhh. I'm totally not bothered to go all the way there and realise that I either 1. cannot afford them 2. cannot find a good brand.

I feel totally insecure with buying from sellers from the US, UK, Canada or any other countries out of Malaysia and Australia. I get really paranoid that the shipping'll be really expensive, or my stuffs won't arrive, or will take ages to arrive.

So since Wk's in Melbourne, I decided to try out the Australian Ebay and found these. Manja-ed my way to it and yay! =D

I heard a lot about the GHD straightening irons. Many claimed it to be the best and all that stuff but I simply cannot afford those. Ok eventhough I'm not paying for it but still. I did a whole lot of research looking for reviews and so far they have all been positive! But its a little scary that some reviews are quite similar so I don't know if they're the same people or maybe could even be the seller himself!

But whatever la. Everything's confirmed and paid so... shut up.

So yup! I can't wait to meet my pink thang hehe!

Braces?

I've been thinking lately...

... my teeth, particularly a few at the bottom part are crooked. And I seriously don't remember having such crooked teeth in my life. Yes, of course I have crooked teeth but definitely NOT THAT crooked. I noticed it few days ago. Wk and I came up with an answer - maybe it's my stupid wisdom tooth that has been growing horizontally, it pushes my other teeth as it comes out and that's why the already crooked teeth got even more crooked.

T____________T

And then I was thinking of braces.

Haih... I used to have such nice and straight set of teeth one ok...

Wk was watching it and I could hear him laughing hysterically over Skype wtf. Let me know if it's seriously *that* funny. I'd be happy if it does make a person smile.

More Volume Please!

My hair smells of awful hair dye stench now. Even after like 2 times washing it. First, after rinsing away the freaking dye, second, after rinsing away the treatment. But it feels so light and soft now. And the best part is that my split ends are all GONE YAYYYYYYYYYY! You won't know how it feels to look at your own split ends-infested hair unless you have MY HAIR. Before I got it all chopped off of course.

Anyway, anyone wanna see pictures??

Okay I see some (imaginery) hands up. Wtf.

I feel quite light (my hair, literally) and nice now so big pictures for you lucky readers! If anyone's anticipating...

Nah.


Trying to fake short hair but obviously failed cos my layers are too random that some are long, some are short.


Accidentally pursed my lips.

My previous hair was too long (Reaching my ahem but pls stop asking me how I pee and all that stupid question okay? Please use your brain and some common sense to think) and because it was of the same length, everything was weighed down and my hair got really flat at the top and thick at the bottom. And with that cut and length there was nothing much I could do with it. I couldn't tie them into a ponytail because the ponytail's too heavy, it pulls my scalp and it's really painful. If I use a looser band, my hair droops down in a while and I'd end up looking like some ah lian. If don't blowdry them or comb them nicely, it gets wavy and sometimes, looks like a freaking mop. I couldn't really style it because it's too long. Too long and too much hair to bun it up. Curling them ended up looking really messy cos everything's of the same length. The only thing I could do was to straighten, or blowdry them straight. But these tools which heats up the hair's really damaging to it.

So, the only solution to keep the length but still be able to do tonnes with it, is to superlayer it.



Also got it coloured cos my hair has grown so much since the last hair-colouring which was like last December? I know, that's crazy long. Even the hairstylist got a shock. Didn't get a dramatic colour though, just something that's close to my previous one. It's supposed to be an ashy-brown but I really hate it when it looks orangey/reddish brown in pictures taken with flash. So all pictures posted here were taken without flash to show its truer colour.

Ok I won't bore you guys with boring pictures of me being obsessed with my new hairstyle so, last one:



Sadly, it doesn't have that much volume that I wanted. The hairstylist wouldn't wanna cut more saying it won't look nice. =(

I'll definitely go somewhere else to get it done. I need more VOLUME!

Btw, something stupid happened. The whole process took about 3 freaking hours and I had to hold my pee for 3 freaking hours. HORRIFYING. When they finished rinsing the dye, I thought I could take a toilet break but they immediately applied the treatment on my scalp right after I sat on the chair. So freaking fast, like some machines wtf. When they finished applying the treatment and left it to be absorbed, I thought I could take a toilet break but they AGAIN immediately put the steamer over my head! WTF! So I tahan-ed some more. Then right after rinsing the treatment thingie, they immediately blew dry my hair!!! And it was already 8+pm by then and I realised I was the ONLY customer and they were preparing to close the salon already! Then after I was done, everyone (the other hairstylists) was already seating down, all packed up, WAITING for me to be done so that they can close the shop and go home.

How do you expect me to say, "Can I use your toilet?" when everyone's freaking waiting to just go home?

I zoomed home after that and stormed into the toilet and peed for what seemed like eternity wtf.

The end.

Made some mini pancakes, smaller than the size of my palms. So fun to make because it cooks faster, easier to control its shape, and they look so cute!
