where are my summer bubbles?

YAY!!! My hair's black again!!! *dances*
-

Let's rewind back to July 2009. Stupid ol' me always yearned for brown hair. Dad bestowed me JET BLACK HAIR, which, well, of course, I didn't like. I wanted dark brown hair because that's sooo EURASIAN-LIKE (And we all know that Eurasians are drop-dead gorgeous. Well, most anyway. And yeah, like hair colour can completely change your features. *rolls eyes* Okay, but that was (Emphasis on the tense: WAS.) me a year ago.). So anyway, I tried one brand in the shade black-brown. And of course, it didn't show up. So I dyed my hair again, using Revlon's Dark Brown, within a week. Yes, I killed my hair. But yes, L'Oreal's condtioner revived it. Thank you, hair god. But anyway, no one could tell the difference. Unless I stood under the light or the sun. My hair is, no was, that black.

Thereafter, thoughts of dyeing my hair still lingered. But I hate the new roots that come out (Or whatever you call them.), okay? I hate them vehemently. I mean, gawd. It's so friggin' UGLY. The other concern was dry hair. And a rather major one at that. Because (Okay, don't correct my English.) at one point in time, which isn't so long ago, I was rebonding my hair once every 4 months. Talk about chemicals, cancer blah blah blah. I'm heading down to six feet under. Practically sprinting towards it.

Now, let's fast forward to yesterday. Dorcas P. told mentioned that the Liese's hair dye was good. And I have been eyeing on that hair dye for ages because deep down, I still wanted to look Eurasian. Even if it's only my hair. Plus the one at NAC's Watsons came with a free cap (YAY!!! FREEBIESSS!!!).  So I bought the one in Chestnut Brown (because I thought Dark Chocolate wouldn't show, like the first 2.) and the moment I got home, I holed myself up in the loo and spent an hour in there.

And when I emerged, GUESS WHAT?!? JUST THE CROWN OF MY HEAD WAS BROWN. AND GAWD, WAS THE BROWN LIGHTTTTTTTTTTTT. I was thrilled that my hair's actually capable of absorbing dye but gawd, I looked like I was perpetually right under the sun, where the rays just hit the top of my head! And because my eyebrows like black, I had turned into the ah lian that I didn't want to.

Today, I got Revlon's Soft Black (I ran all over Simei and Tampines, trying to find Beauteen's Asian Black, because that was the colour of my hair initially, but I couldn't find a single box of it!!! *cries* Oh well. I think in 2 years time, all these chemically ill-treated hair will have been snipped off.) and just spent an hour and a half in the loo. Conditioning like mad.

But yes, I have my black (though not black enough) hair again.

Dear Hair,

You will remain black for the rest of your and my life until, of course, old age takes over. Even if you don't believe it, because of all the chemical abuse I have put you through, I love you. Always have and always will. So please love me back and do not go all straw-y on me because I will cry.

Love,
Charlene J.

On a lighter note, some stranger tried to find a soulmate in me. HAHAHA. (It's spam, I know. But let's pretend that it isn't.) Honey, you're completely dreaming. At the moment, I only have eyes for Huang Xiao Ming. Gawd. He's sooo friggin' cute!!! *has a fangirl moment*

'Cause it'll be a shallow one.

I'm starting to wonder if deep, completely intense love doesn't exist. If that's the case, I don't ever want to be in love.

-

And I shall start praying from tonight onwards that Vic and Barbie will get back together, tie the knot and have a million kids. THEY ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!

And and how do all those manga authors come up with those love stories?!? HOW?!? It's so incredibly romantic, sweet, PERFECT... Oh gosh. I want to be a manga character!!!

MARS is like the most emotional and romantic show that I have ever come across! But of course, watch it in fast-forward mode. It's s-l-o-w.

tell no one, peach.

I have been very random lately. The other day, I headed to the ATM to make a transfer for some (more) blushes and then, I thought "I need peach-flavoured bubble tea.". So I turned the other direction and spent a dollar and twenty on my peach-flavoured bubble tea (and saved myself 90+ bucks?!?). Today, I said something random to Dor, while we were out. I can't recall what it is now (because it was random). But it was dead random.

Oh yes. Another example. Whilst having dinner just now, suddenly I went 'I wonder how we will look like in Heaven. Will we be a beam of light? Will we look like Jesus? Will we look like how we look like when we are in our prime? Or wrinkled like a baby mouse? Or can we change our look whenever we want? Or will we all have one generic look?'. It's so strange because I wasn't thinking about God before that.

Yesterday, my bro, sis and I walked into ZARA and I saw a checkered shirt. And I was like 'Okay. That's the shirt that Josh MUST have.'. So I got him to try (He was so resistant. For what, I cannot fathom. Everyone looks good in checks!).

I was in a good mood.
-

And I don't know why the fact that Sun Ho made it in some L.A. news blog qualifies as a piece of news itself.

Of course, I read it.

Currently watching 'MARS'. It's an idol drama, starring Vic Zhou and Barbie Hsu (I LOVE BARBIE HSU. Her acting's top notch!). But it's one that deals with more serious issues, like psychological matters and sexual abuse. Of course, I'm watching it in my fast-forward mode.

I was just wondering how psychological stuff is just a matter of perception. Okay, obviously. But... Okay, in the show, Vic had a twin brother. His twin brother was the righteous, timid sort who got bullied (And of course, Vic's the complete opposite.). Vic found out that they were born out of an affair that their Mum had. He disliked his brother, told his brother the truth and the brother committed suicide. FACT: He killed his brother by playing with the latter's mind. But then, Barbie told him that no, it wasn't him. He didn't mean that. I think he accepted Barbie's explanation (But I can't really tell because there were no English subtitles and everything was in Chinese.)... But I mean, don't you see something that is wrong here?

FACT is that he killed his brother. HE DID. But if he accepted Barbie's explanation and believed that he didn't have the intention of doing so when he told his brother the truth, then... What exactly is this?

Okay. I'm not eloquent enough, so I'm gonna go back to my drama.
-

I don't really want to think nowadays.

blank.

I haven't been blogging because there's nothing in my head worth blogging about. My concerns are trivial and my thoughts... Well, I like to keep them mine.
-

Anyway, I now understand what it is like when you just don't feel it anymore.

foodies!!!

Lalala. Because I'm completely bored out of my gourd, I'm gonna blog about the strange things that I love to eat. Okay, they aren't strange. They are only strange because OTHERS say they are. To me, they are completely normal, edible foods. And I know I shouldn't start a sentence with 'because'.

Scambled Egg

2. Add sugar.

Oh gawd. I'm incredibly bored. BUT I prefer boredom to fatigue and frustration.

And I'll not be held responsible if you decide to try these recipes. I do not get tummy upsets from these. But it could be due to years of conditioning.

borrring.

I don't really know what to blog these days. The first week of unemployment was spent eating. Haha. Eating's good. Hmmm... I slept in, surfed aimlessly, slacked like I would never be able to slack again and of course, ate and ate and ate. Sounds as if I have been starved. Haha.
-

Anyway, I'm bidding that sedentary life farewell. I have got to do a major operation clean up of my room, study Japanese, revise French, expand my non-existent vocabulary and think about what I want to do with my hair. HAHA. I really want to do something to my hair... But getting it dyed means roots in a month?!? Which is hellishly disgusting. And perming it = Frizzy hair. Which is equally disgusting. Ughhhh.

And no, I don't want to do nothing!
-

Alright. Another senseless and mundane entry. I hope Tuesday's training for my new job will be fun.

Bye.

'Life is a jigsaw puzzle. You don't know whats going to go where, you don't know where the pieces are but you do know that you need to keep looking for the pieces and figure out where they go. All events that happen to you is a piece of your puzzle. if you are stuck in a rut at school or work and keep asking yourself the "what if" question then its a sign telling you that there are no more pieces of the puzzle to be found where you are.'

*GLOOM*

Finally plucked up the courage to view last semester's results. HAHA. NO WAY MAN. I'm not the curious sort. But I had to find out if I were gonna register for Year 2 or Year 3 next semester. And yay! I have been promoted to Year 3 (The faster I get out of school the better! You don't know how much I hate the crap out of it.).

My results were dismal, by the way. Got a friggin' B+ for French (Okay, why am I not upset about my Math, which happens to be my major if you didn't know, results?!?). I'm incredibly annoyed with this. And I hate all these stupid Bs popping out all over my bloody transcript. UGH. And because I didn't take my exam for Linear Algebra I, I'm gonna be facing some serious clashing of classes. Oh yay me!
-

Stupid French. Just you wait!!!

blood red lips are staring at you.

I have got an interview tomorrow but gosh! I'm so dreadfully lazy to go. The job's only for 2 weeks. If I were offered the job and I accepted it, that would be my last job for summer hols. HA! Seriously. I'm just this ginormous tub of lard.
-

Woke up around 10 plus today. Read blogs, marvelled at Yutaki's photo-taking/editing skills and how much he looks like JJ Lin (A more dashing one. What are you waiting for?!? Go check out his blog NOW!), took my lunch, studied a bit of Japanese, slept and slept and slept some more. Oh gosh. This IS life. Rotting away. Hahaha.

I really hope I get the job tomorrow. It will be kinda cool. PLUS training will be provided.
-

Gonna go study Japanese now, whilst watching '100% Entertainment' so that I can be an even more 'Ah Lian' on Friday (Meeting Wei Ching!!!). HAHAHA.

Love you, Charmian Poon, and the MEANINGFUL conversation that we had. *HUGS* (:

I'm actually feeling quite sick of makeup. Looking at my desk (chock-full of makeup) makes me nauseated. And I just enquired about 2 sample-sized lip products.
-

Staring at 2.5 months of hols ahead is giving me an 'empty' feeling. Or maybe it's because of the drama. Hmmm... Now's the time to start cracking the books, like I planned 12834252403590450405043054-35 years ago! Haha.

Expect entries in French and Japanese!

Till then,
tullah and toodles!

ennui?

Hmmm... I'm thinking of getting a camera but I don't really know how to cam-whore because every angle of me looks bad. Oh well.
-

Work ends on Sunday. WOHOO!!! I'm really stoked! I have a love-hate relationship with my job but it's taking up more time than it should so goodbye! Haha. But now, I'm wondering what I'm gonna do with the next 2.5 months. Hmmm...
-

Anyway, I guess something kinda cool happened yesterday. Hmmm... Well, it's cool only because it's not something that is a norm for me. But SIGH. I'm completely uninterested. And it only happened because I was wearing thick makeup! *rolls eyes*
-

I'm completely in the Taiwanese mood now because of 'Down With Love' and this entry's way frivolous because   I'm blogging out of boredom (Oh gosh! Bored already?!? *astonished look*). I'm waiting for 8 o'clock to hit so that I can go get my running done.

Doo doo doo.
