    How To Henna Your Hair

    So Jacinda and I decided to henna our hair. She wanted to try something new and I just wanted to get rid of my horrible hair colour. She stayed over on Friday night so we could do it together. It was quite fun but it didn't help my awful hair colour much. Instead of blond streaks, I now have orange streaks. Jac's hair went from a light yellowish brown to a very nice reddish brown though.

    Ingredients:
    Henna, 1 packet. We used Cobra brand from Little India.
    Water. As much as needed (we used approx. 500ml)
    2 eggs.
    1 tbsp olive oil.
    Optional: Tea/Coffee powder.

    Other things:
    Tin vessel
    Comb
    Gloves
    Shower cap

    Preparing the mixture
    Step 1: Pour the henna into a tin vessel and slowly stir in water, until the mixture is gloopy but not runny. It should have the consistency of thick melted chocolate. We used a pot for the mixing.
    Step 2: If you want the result to be a lighter shade of brown, add some tea. If you want the result to be a darker shade, add some coffee. I added LOTS of coffee powder (about 1 measuring cup) but my blond streaks still turned out orange.
    Step 3: Cover the mixture with Glad wrap/Saran wrap and let it sit overnight, or for about 6 to 8 hours.
    Step 4: Add the olive oil and crack the eggs into the mixture. Mix it well.

    Applying the mixture
    Step 1: Comb the mixture through your hair. It's much easier if you have someone to help you. USE GLOVES. The henna dye WILL stain skin as well as hair!
    Step 2: Put a shower cap on and wait 1 hour.
    Step 3: Now thoroughly rinse out the henna, and shampoo your hair. You might need to repeat this step a few times in order to get the henna out completely.
    Step 4: You're done! Dry your hair. The smell of the henna will remain in your hair for a few days. My hair still smells like coffee.

    Jac's newly dyed hair. Can't really see the colour properly though cause the lighting's bad.

  • INXXSPIRED!!

    I'm sick of all this laziness.

    I admit it. I'm a blob. A blob of a person gradually turning into fat, accumulating dust and the occasional piece of useless trivia.

    Recently I've found blogs like
    http://www.parkandcube.com/
    http://www.yasminetran.blogspot.com/

    And they inspire me to NOT be a blob any more! They have some awesome fashion projects I've always wanted to do, but unlike them, I've also always been too much of a blob to turn these ideas into reality. And although I have exams coming up (grrr), I also think that there's no better time than ANY time to start the first project of my new unblobby life!

    To document my foray into the world of Some Talk, Some Action (as opposed the world of All Talk No Action that I currently reside in) I think I shall start a blog/website.

    To Do List
    1. Think of a name for my website
    2. Get a doorknob (Yeah my door has no doorknob on it)
    3. Paint my room
    4. Go rollerblading every Sunday
    5. Make food
    6. Unblobbify myself :)

    On a another note, I'm really getting kinda... blobby and fat. My boyfriend will be in for a nasty shock this December when he sees the extent of my blobbiness.

  • I FOUND IT!

    I found THEM, to be exact.

    Here's my daddy's Nikon SLR from before I was born.


    And here's my grandma's Fujica. Oops I thought it was a Pentax. 

    So beautiful <3 I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE LOTS OF FILM PHOTOS AND ACT ALL ARTSY HEHE!

  • I can't find my Dad's SLR :(

    KNNBCCB I can't remember where I put it.

    Maybe I'll use my grandma's old Pentax. But how can an SLR camera disappear from my small house just like that?! Steffi has taken many many photos with her film camera and I haven't even found mine. BTW Steffi you bo jio bitch.

  • Fire in the house







     



    My neighbours' house, 2 doors down from me, caught fire on Friday night. I came home after movie & tau huay with Sexytime and their respective boyfriends to find 2 HUGEASS fire trucks parked below my house. And one black, BLACK building and a black hole where my neighbour used to live. Also, I had to wade my way up the stairs and swim through warm fire-extinguishing water with charred debris floating in it.

    The wall and ceiling above my windows are now black with soot :( I'm gonna have to repaint my walls!

    And I really hope the Malay family who lived there has insurance.

  • I got hit

    I got hit. No, not hit on. I was HIT.

    I was walking along Orchard Road (with Daniel) one day, when I saw this slightly weird-looking man. He was wearing this ill-fitting blue-green polo tee tucked into khaki (khaki green?) pants that came up almost to his armpits. Since I was texting Jacob at the time, I just gave the guy a once-over quite amusedly and resumed typing on my phone.

    Suddenly, I heard a "PIAK" sound.

    I thought nothing of it, quite distracted by the task of messaging my boyfriend, since my brain is usually unable to process more than one thing at a time. Then it hit me (haha pun) that my shoulder was hurting, and I realized that the "PIAK" sound actually came from something having had sudden contact with  my shoulder! But I couldn't figure out wtf hit me (haha, pun again) till I suddenly remembered that weird looking man. HE HIT ME! It wasn't a bump on the shoulder from walking past me, it was a PUNCH or an elbow backwards AFTER he had past me, right square on my left shoulder blade. I froze in my tracks, spun around (probably with a bewildered/indignant look on my face) to see that guy lolloping away, backpack bouncing up and down.

    Daniel figured by the look on my face (he also said later that he'd heard the "PIAK") that the guy had done something to me and went after him going "EH. EH DUDE, WTF? Apologise now!!" The guy turned around, on his face a curious mixture of fear, confusion, guilt, dread and apprehension that seemed to say that he knows what he did, he knows it was wrong and he shouldn't have done it, but he did it and he didn't know WHY and it's too late now, and he's mentally berating himself preparing for a scolding.

    Then I realized he was probably mentally retarded. Or had Tourette's syndrome or some other syndrome that causes you to do things that people are not supposed to normally do. So I just shrugged and asked Daniel to forget it, though he did squeeze a "Sorry" out of the weird man before we walked off.

    But the whole experience was really weird. I have never gotten HIT by a stranger in the middle of Orchard before! In fact it's such a weird, unlikely and surreal experience that I'm beginning to wonder if he did actually hit me, especially since I wasn't paying attention at that time and didn't really know what was going on. Except Daniel did hear him hit me, and my shoulder did hurt for the rest of the night. What an odd experience!!


    Well on another note, Tomo from Toni & Guy had his show on Sunday. It went quite well I think! But the judges were really unforgiving when examining our hair though. They literally went through it with a fine-toothed comb. Hope Tomo scored well! Maybe he'll get promoted to Senior Stylist :)

    Willy the only guy model in the show.

    Stressed out :(


    I love Jojo

    I can't wait to fly over to Illinois to visit Jacob in December :) But booking air tickets is turning out to be a real hassle, not to mention that I am poor and can't afford most of what's left. I need to book real soon, before ALL the tickets are sold out. Sigh if only I wasn't such a n00b at this. I've tried at least 3 times, but I've either been waitlisted and subsequently cancelled or asked to fill out some stupid form that they never sent me.

    ZEN ME BAN???

    Waargh. And my CT idea journal is due in 12 hours. FA group meeting in 9 hours. Mid term exams in less than a week. And I have NO CLUE what is going on in Econs at all! Stressful leh. I'm getting really tired of school already and it's barely been a month! :( SMU is the boringest place ever. It is unbelievably mugger and boring and I wish I went overseas to study instead. Oh well.

    Some excitement in my otherwise boring life

    Clique went for picnic at Cluny! One of those rare times that everyone's there but nobody's drunk. So proud of us, and the fact that we'd managed to have some good wholesome healthy fun. With yummy food! Nicole actually brought a proper PICNIC BASKET (containing her homemade deviled eggs omg ). Dunno where she gets all these useless but cool things.



    Silas and Kenny... orgasm. Jackson reaching for his "gua dunno what fuck" (guacamole) flavoured chips that he thought would taste like pandan and kaya. So glamourous.



    More of Jackson's uncontrollable gluttony. That's why he's awesome




    Also, went for the Singapore Ferrari forum (Fchat) and Porsche drive around the new F1 Singapore circuit with Daniel in his sexy ride!! I was just happily snapping away with the camera the whole time.



    In all, there were 16 Porsches, Lamborghinis and Ferraris; a lot of them were yellow. (See below: yellow yellow yellow white.)



    The circuit was super bright cause of all the lights, though they're pretty much just redundant and wasting electricity right now since the race hasn't started yet, and street lamps have always sufficed for usual traffic. It was almost as bright as daybreak.
     


    Here's Daniel the weird boy. And the LIGHTS omg what a waste of electricity seriously.



    No more excitement for me for a long long time now :(
