impulsive and indecisive

that's the two words that i can think of to describe me after what i did yesterday.
i highlighted my hair maroon colour.
while this might sound trivial to you, it's the most daring "stunt" i did after i pierced my ear's cartilage 2 years ago when i was in form 6(it was illegal and i wore earring to school everyday but i was never caught).
both actions dont sound like the normal me would do.
and i went into the hair saloon without the intention of doing anything else with my hair other than cutting it shorter.
nor did i went to gurney with my mother with the idea that i will leave the building with one hole in my ear.
hence the word impulsive.
and i know by highlighting my hair i just made myself a hypocrite.
i was so against the idea of applying something permanent in my hair when i was younger
and i said i will not dye my hair, ever.
yeah.
while i was sitting there and waiting for the dye to stain my hair, i started regretting already.
i thought about the possible damage that my fragile hair would have to suffer
and all the hair care product i have to use.
sigh.. conditioning hair is no easy job.
bearing the consequences already.

as for indecisive, i have always wanted to dye my hair red, or maroon.
but,
the hairstylist suggested dark brown and other shades of the same colour.
he said it's more natural-looking.
so after convincing my mother than i should highlight my hair and i lied that it wouldnt be something outrageous.
it was all up to me to decide what colour i want.
after what seem like an eternity to the hairstylist, i said
ok, brown it is to the hairstylist.
before he even managed to turn his back and get the dye ,
i said ,
hey wait! err i think i want maroon!thanks.
sigh..
the look that he gave me was like all the sales girls usually do when i go shopping.
O_o
i think the colour's ok
you can see it if u come near me
but from a far u can only tell that my hair's black.
plus, you can only see that it's maroon under the sun or light.
if my hair survive this, and i think red is cooler than black, i'll probably dye my hair next time.
so dont worry, i'm not a redhead, yet.
and oh, the colour will fade and turn to some non-maroon colour, maybe brown in 3 weeks time.
so i have to take loads of pictures before that!:)

a different kind of holiday

most of my year end school holiday were spent preparing for guiding camps.
painting banners, building towers and sculptures, burning the midnight oil to plan dance and then practice them.
Jota, EYTC , CHCHS's camp, CTC and Traplex.
although i've been to different camps, the competitons and rules differ slightly, and i worked with different people, the things i do was routine.
day in day out, we go to someone's place, the so called meetings were never ending..
and we stayed overnight, joked and then strived hard to finish the preparation.
and by the time the camps ended, our 2 months long holiday were gone too.

while for post stpm and spm days, i stayed at home watched tv, online and most of the time, hang out with friends.
didnt work after spm, went to a camp in MMU, then a trip to hongkong, came back, let myself rot at home, online(i was new to internet back then) , go out yam cha, played a bit of basketball. the holiday lasted for 6 months. by the time it almost ended, i couldnt wait for form 6 to start. i was bored to death.
post stpm days, worked for 5 weekends, couldnt take it and quitted. went out more, more late night outs, started to play a bit of pool this time and learned yoga!and when it was time to leave for university, all i wanted to do was linger in penang. i didnt want the holiday to end.
maybe subconsciously, i knew that was the last time i could be so carefree??

back to the topic of the post,
and now that i am in university now, the longest holiday will last for a month plus.
max is for a month and a few days:(
so i've been to every major mall in penang.
two very lengthy karaoke sessions,
played piano for quite a bit which is unusual..
i can play simple arrangements of canon in D
and a few new songs.
also, did a bit of reading these few days.
to be exact, i read two books.
amy tan's the bonesetter's daughther and michael connelly's the lincoln lawyer
two totally different genre.
my friend highly recommend me amy tan so i read it.
this is her first book that i've read
and it's pretty good. a lot of background on old china.
but i like the second one better.
i kept reading till the end.
and i think i spent4 or 5 hours on it.
a lot of suspense here and there.
it was a very very long time ago since i read fiction. about half a year perhaps??
it's amazing how long i can read a fiction book and not even last an hour when it comes to academics stuff:P
having read the two, i think my reading speed has deteriorated.
and so is my english.
maybe it's becoz i read too much in a short time for the exam??
the lecture notes are all given in point forms and also, i seldom read or refer to books since i dont have enough time to do so:P

i'm thinking of indulging myself with a few james patterson's books.
have been eyeing maximum ride for quite some time.
just that i used to to think it was more worthy to splurge on clothes than books.
same applies to medical books.
that is why i have much fewer books and more clothes to pack compared to my roommates.
and since i wont be able to go to korea this july coz there's no more places left for juniors,
i can spend the money that's suppose to go to the trip.
i'm super depressed coz i wont be able to meet up with people from taiwan:(
no more trip around korea as promised by chris.
he's from korea and promised to drive us around seoul!!!
and in seoul they can watch tv from their cellphone!
and i was planning to backpack around korea with leo.
all the plans gone down the drain:(
most of all, i dont get the chance to skip boring lectures legally
and have fun and meet interesting people.
and there was nothing i could find to replace that trip in prangin mall.
i'll try gurney again next week.
maybe a few good books can take my mind off the matter.:(
reading can be therapeutic if no memorizing is required.
sure hope that applies in this case.

think i'm going to eat more banana.
it's said to cheer people up coz it contains tryptophan.the good thing is, it's not very fattening:)
but not sure whether that's true.
if it's not, i'll turn to ice cream and chocolates. that always work.:)

I passed!!!!

wohooooo!!!!
for once in a very long time, i'm glad that i passed.
yes, i kind of forgot when was the last time a pass made me so happy!
and now, year 2 is waiting ahead.
that means, more stuff to cramp inside my head.
but i'm still happy!
there's only one thing that i would like to change..
i want to make the holiday longer!!:(

celebrated with joe and hanee at queen's bay
it wasnt a planned celebration since i was told by pj that the results are out
when i was about to go out.

watched spiderman 3 but i think it was kinda long winded.
tried to buy something for myself but couldnt find something that's cheap for me to buy.
so i'm going shopping with mom today!:P

and also, i wont be able to go to korea this july coz all the places are taken.
sigh.......
wont be able to meet up with mei leo zion amy sarah and chris
i'll miss you guys!
but the good thing is
since i dont have to save money for the trip, that means i can spend the money on shopping!!!!
wohooooooo!
cool!

penang redbox rules!

went to redbox with yj yesterday.
booked a room for 2 students..
sang from 2 to 6pm.
non stop.
and i paid rm10!
wahahaha..
well..
if u guys cant remember, they used to have the rule that 2 person can sing 2 hours only
but yesterday, they let us sing more than 3 hours and we left coz yj was in a rush..
if not, maybe we could've continue until 8pm??:P
but then when i reached home, felt so sleepy..
sigh.. getting old means getting fatigued easily

craving for pool now.......

10) wash my own clothes
11)then fold them

yes, as u can see, i lost lots of stuff.. i'm very careless i know

also, i've fallen sick for at least 5 times. mostly fever..
diarrhea.. uncountable..
and the cat fleas bite was the most recent one
oh ya..
i slipped and bruised my knee


it's a big transition definitely
to move from penang to kl
it's going to get tougher
hope i have the strength to finish the path i've chosen.
i'm sure it hasnt been easy for you guys too.
or perhaps, you have gone through tougher phase..
i salute those who managed to survive:)
still....
growing up sucks:(
leaving home sucks even more.

Holidays

it's for a month only:(
so much shorter compared to others:(
still..
i've been looking for it since err the 1st day i started uni:p
a lot has happened since the last time i blog..
went to taiwan, met a lot of interesting characters, saw lots of nice buildings and views,
and above all, learnt a lot!
also, i bought a laptop during pc fair,dell's xps M1210
during exam week, i was attacked by a bunch of black microscopic creature.
they are immortal unless u chopped off their head.
resistant to heat, and alcohol.
i'm talking about cat fleas.
and how kind of them to leave me souvenirs-- disfiguring spots:(
so instead of being able to wear nice stuff for holidays, i'd have to stick to jeans.:(

here's a couple of things i'm planning to do for the holiday:-
1) meet up with old friends
2) not to leave penang island
3) watch lots of tv until i'm sick of it
4) shop
5)play piano
6)awatch movies
7) watch house, gray's anatomy, prison break, etc..
8) swim
9)dance!!


hopefully there's enough time for me to accomplish all those.
so dont want to think about returning to kl:(

home sweet home

:)
