2nd Visit To The HairDresser~
Filed Under hair, me, life | 20 Comments
It felt like Sat & Sun instead of Wed & Thurs during the 2 days Hari Raya break. On Monday I called Miko out of desperation to do rebonding as I couldn’t stand my fluffy and frizzy hair.
But my decision was well influenced when a good friend said it was too short and layered to be nice with rebonding.
And suddenly it hit me on Tuesday evening. Why not do colouring instead? My hair was pitch black and the hairdresser suspected that I dyed it black before!
And so, after getting approval from some girlfriends, I decided to change the appointment from hair rebonding to colouring on Wednesday at Miko, Prima Setapak.
Of couse, I used the 50% off chemical service which I could download for RM3.50 at Mystyle. I have used it last year for hair colouring and rebonding as well.
I was convinced opted for some dark brown for the base color and a lighter brown for highlight. I felt that the color was lighter than my previous colouring but it was more even this year round.
And the sissy hairstylist even did temporary straightening for me which I really like the effect after that. I should patiently wait another 2 months for my hair to grow before doing the rebonding. ^.^
And this time even after much persuasion, I managed to stick to my decision of no treatment. After all I didn’t really see any different with treatment after I did it on Wednesday.
The hair look OK in this picture coz it was after blowing at the hairdresser. But it doesnt look like this after I wash them coz I am lazy not good in hair blowing.
Here was my long, shiny, smooth hair before I stupidly chopped it off in March earlier this year to a short bob.

Bad Hair Year!
Filed Under hair, me, life | 14 Comments
I don’t know what’s wrong with the hairstylists. All they want is layer and shape! Even though I want straight and neat, they said it is boring. No style.
And then he couldn’t understand that I just want to thin my fringe, not on top of it. Which he stupidly did more layer for me. Even shorter. And it’s fugly. >_<
I feel depress even after splurging extra $ on the inner hair cuticle treatment which he said supposedly to tame down my frizzy, unruly hair. Crap. Ain’t no different. I felt that my Sunsilk intensive treatment which I bought at pharmacy does work better than then pricey treatment.
And to think that I have been keeping my hair for 4 months before going under the knife scissors again and he just snipped it off without second thought.
Now I felt 10 years older with the burden of frizzy hair on my head. Oh my, I even feel a little tired and aged.
It was a huge mistake to cut it short at the first place. Looking at my long, soft, straight hair in the picture doesn’t help. (/_\)
And yeah, I think I need the miracle of rebonding or straightening again.
The hell with fluffy, frizzy, layered short hair. The hells with boring straight hair that I don’t know why the hairstylists are so disapprove of.
I am going to make a different and this time, I decide!
P/S : By the way, Selamat Hari Raya Puasa! Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Happy holiday and drives safely!!! =)

Something is seriously wrong?
Filed Under hair, me, life | 16 Comments
Spammed!
When I opened my Gmail, I was shocked to see a long list of comments from this blog waiting to be approved. I got spammed real badly since Tuesday. If there were real comments, I guess I’ll be over the roof. (or even better if they are opps coming in, u know what I mean.)
Who wants to watch Paris Hilton sex tape anyway? You don’t, do you? You do?!?!? Awww…. Obviously you are at the wrong site then. Get lost, you pervert!
With over 100 comments a day about gambling and exquisite porn sites, I am just tired of labeling each and every one of them as spam! Darn spammer, just leave me alone.
I didn’t want to install the ‘captcha’ thingy as I think it’s such a dread to fill up since my little bloggy here are only visited by friends, virtually and in reality. But now that the alien is invading, I think I gotta do something bout it.
A girl gotta do what a girl gotta do. No?
Forget
How forgetful can you be when you are under the 30? Pretty much for someone admitting to have faster-processor-than-hard-disk-space-person I am. I forgot to bring my white jacket to office after bringing them back to wash. Not one day, not for two day that I forgot but 3 darn days in a row! I even put the jacket on top of my bag so I wouldn’t forget but obviously I underestimate myself. (=.=)”
Now for the third day in the office, I am trying to convince myself that I am not cold. It just pleasant breeze blowing against my skin. Yeah, not cold at all. No, I am NOT going to sneeze. I am alright. Not cold. *aahhh-chooommm*
List
BIG-BIG-boss wanted List A of the top 30 bugs. Fine. So the 3-pretty-QA-ladies gathered around in the meeting room for a couple of hours, while moaning and complaining and finally came out with List B and happily presented to him. But.. OOopppss.. he wanted List A, not B!
Darn, why didn’t he highlight A at the first place. (=.=)”
Pink
For the 3 consecutive days, I unconsciously put on pink shade on tops to work! Tuesday I wore short sleeved light pink shirt. Wednesday, long sleeved wide neck pinkish Tee and today, pink salmon blouse! And I was thinking to wear hot red top to work tomorrow but changed my mind. Nobody noticed except me, right? I don’t want to go into a pink-strike week!
Ticket
I almost never failed to get my regular ticket on Friday. But on Tuesday the ticket counter man told me the tickets were suspended. Fine. So I went again on Wednesday and it was ALL sold off and I felt like bashing the guy (if he wasn’t bigger than me but it wouldn’t be possible and so I kept my hands to myself).
And so I made a different plan which involved waking up at 7am in the morning (oh, what a dread even only thinking about it) on Friday which was way too early for me! Yep, no MC, I’ve talked myself out of it.
Hair
Never in my entire life have I had hair shorter than this. Yes, I cut it again. It was not on impulse; in fact I planned to cut for weeks as it was growing like stray grass. But the thing is I let the hairstylist decide on the style as I’ve grown comfortable and trusting his skill by his 1 single cut, previoiusly (I trust easily, eh).
And so now I have left side of hair shorter than the right side of hair and he said it is stylish. As well as heavy layering on my already short hair.
I couldn’t decide whether I look like a small boy or an aunty.
And I’ve learnt; stylish doesn’t have to have anything to do with young or feminine.

Snip It Off~!
Filed Under hair, me | 12 Comments
After plucking all the courage from the star and the moon and weighting all the pros and cons and thought of what-if for 1001 times, and many yes-no-decisions and consult 50 friends I finally made a decision to cut my hair short. Yes, short.
I have been having long straight, hair for the past 10 years, rebonded for 3 or 4 times, permed one time but it was long all the while. The last time I cut it short, above shoulder length (God forbids boy-cut) was in 1998, after a week I joined the university as I was staying in the hostel, to keep minimum hassle.
My heart skipped a beat when the hairstylist cruelly snipped away 10 inches of hair with one single cut! His face shown disagreement when I said I wanted to cut short bob hair. He insisted of medium length bob for the first try and cut it short later in couple of months if I want.
I was so relieved to hear his suggestion as deep in my heart I was a little anxious to cut real short. And after 25 minutes, with various advices on how to keep my hair healthy and prevent further hair loss and keep a healthy scalp and also recommendation of shampoo and hair products, it’s finally done!
Some friends said I look younger while some said it is more mature. The others said the hair is more stylish and some prefer me with long hair. Well, for me? I think it’s a good change and I quite like it. 
And yeah, it cost me RM200 for all! >_<
RM30 for hair cut, RM120 for scalp care shampoo (1 litre) and RM50 for Sebastian Crude Clay.

Flat & Straight~
Filed Under happy, hair, me | 12 Comments
Well, Angie and Wuching suggested me to cut it and Min suggested perming or cutting it too! But hey, I always have long hair, except when I was little and when I was in my first year of university where I cut it short (which means above my shoulder) but hey, I really love having long hair! So, cutting is not an option at this moment..
I’ve thought about perming too as it is such a trend now with so many of my colleagues perming their hair, either big locks and curls or simply Maggie-mee style! 
Knowing myself well, I am a lazy person who does not like to spend much time on maintenance. Yeah, better spend more time on the bed in the morning.. 
So, I did again! Rebonding for the forth time! This time, I made use of the Mystyle sms voucher at Sense Studio, Uptown. The rebonding cost RM400 (so very expensive!!!) for my long hair and RM45 for trim (I felt cheated coz normally it is free when you do rebonding) and Keeyit permed her hair again as she wanted to make it more curly (and she has much more to complain)!
So, after the 50% discount with the sms, the total damage is only RM225 (even though more expensive that the one I did at Sungai Wang last year at RM190). But then again, that was just a small salon, not like this classy salon.
After 3 hours, my hair is super straight and flat! Initially I felt that my fringe look kinda funny as it was too flat and short. But now it is rather okay but hair is still quite straight. Thinking of washing it off on Monday night, rather than waiting for 3 days. I do not need super-straight hair, just as long as it is not fluffy or frizzy..
*happy*

Bad Hair Day!
Filed Under hair, me, life | 7 Comments
Once a year, at certain times, I would feel quite frustrated with my hair! The moment has arrived!!! I do really dislike my hair now. It is fluffy and rather messy if I don’t put enough cream and serum to it.
A few weeks ago when I still feel OK with it and rather like it. But when I had crab dinner with my ex-colleague, at the minute she saw me, she exclaimed “Ben, what happened to your hair?! It used to be smooth and nice like Ves’!” 
It is certainly not a nice thing to hear but I know she was just being straight forward as she always have been and that was one of the reasons I like her.
The last time I rebonded my hair was in August 31st last year, that is about one year and 3 months away and thus my hair isn’t as straight today. I am thinking of rebonding again this weekend and it would be my fourth rebonding treatment ! I permed once in year 2003 and I absolutely hate it as it makes my hair very dry and damaged. Perhaps the process isn't as good as what they have today.
So, should I or should I not?

Quite uneven..
Filed Under hair, me | 6 Comments
I finally did it. I have never done it before and after contemplating for quite some time, well I went to the Miko salon today to colour my hair! I only want to dye full head brown colour, no fancy colour or stuff. I am not that hippy. =P
But seated in the salon, feeling rather inexperienced in this, the stylist managed to talk me into highlighting as well and so I agreed. She even chose the colour for me! Mahogany & brown.. Hmm..
The process was rather long, 3 hours! After washing off the colour, I could see the top of my hair being rather yellowish but the rest of the hair was black. Bad feeling started to creep in..
What have I done?!? It looked like cheap DIY dye-job at home and reminded me of the destruction I did on my roomie hair when she asked me to help her colour it 6 years back in uni. I started to regret and thought of ways to undo my hair color?! Can I tie it to work? Or should I dye black again? My imagination started to run wild.. and panic.. Arrgghhh..
The junior guy stylish, whom rather rough in handling my hair, told me that it is due to my hair was still wet and he started to blow dry it..
And ahhh.. it look much better after it started to dry, but hey, the top of my hair was still much brighter than the bottom part! And then the rather-cool-senior-stylish cut my hair around 2 inches shorter and more fringes, I mean shorter fringe. I kinda like the hair cut though.
And ta-da… after 3 hours, hmm… it was still too bright on top of my hair. I think he highlighted too much at the top!!! The bottom part is still rather dark.. >_<
Not too happy at the overall effect though Yit told me that it is fine. But it is cheap, only RM175 for hair colour, highlight, treatment & hair cut; as I used the MyStyle sms voucher of 50% off for chemical services~
