090909
Good morning ya’all! Wow I’m blogging in the morning again. ah~ I love the feel of waking up early & knowing I had enough sleep last night. I train myself last night to sleep at 2 am and I woke up slightly after 8 just now. (ekekeke sorry peeps, student life- no 8 to 5, it’s 10 to 2 now (2 as in 2 am, mind you!). I feel better today. I feel energetic & hopeful that the day will go better. Theory & philosophy of LD will start 1 hour from now, and a 3pm Ecology class later. In between the lectures, I’ll start on the scale one-point perspective today. weee! 
Hey it’s 090909 today! Nice date for that marriage, engagement, etc. boohoo.
Nice day to have a nice, fresh start.
OK, shower time.
Have a nice day ya all! *Hugs*
Entering the other half of 2009, I started by getting a new look and end up looking like Tina Fey with black rimmed glasses (thank god I wear contacts when I go out).
I didn’t expect the hairstylist in the KK outlet this week. I requested for him to cut & curl my hair. and he even said he’d seen me before! I told him, he used to cut my hair in Bangsar, KL long time ago. he,he.
The photos above doesn’t justify how it look like, but I so love the fringe. He is the only one that can ‘fringe’ side-swept me without the need to clip on with bobby pin for a week.
The aftermath (After 24-hours)
oh how i love the texture of my hair now! it is so imperfect! I love the flaws. I hate it when everything need to be perfect, to be in order. and how I’m not satisfied with my natural so-called straight hair, when i curl it with thongs, it will eventually become straight in just half & hour. Oh and don’t get me started on how i took half & hour just to tidy up my fringe just to make it stay side swept. It is a nightmare to have a super straight natural hair where styling require effort.
I’m the kind that keep on minimizing my time on these kind of thing. he,he. I admit it, i kinda miss my long straight hair but I’m loving the new imperfect curls. Did I tell ya that the famous hairstylist did my curls? Oh, I’m so going to brag about it over & over again. mwahahaha!
Anyway, he prescribed me to the japan-styling gel where I have to put it after hair wash by just scrunching the hair before drying it off. I don’t know what the brand called as it is written in japanese! He advise me to just spray some water spray in the morning, a salty water spray would be better and fix the curls with fingers, and walla.. it’s done.
I want to get that evian mineral water spray for my hair. or maybe sea salt hair spray. the beach-look wavy hair = awesome. Another thing is, I am used to blow drying my hair. Hmmm now I need to dry it naturally or using a diffuser. I don’t have a diffuser 
Maybe it’s time to visit that shop in the City Mall selling those saloon styling products and equipments? he,he.
p/s: Do you notice that I’m 5 shades darker? yikes. Thanks to the island trips & harvest festival where I was exposed to direct noon sunlight. Time to shy away from the sun and use back that traditional whitening products. he,he. Yes, I am still using traditional products despite all the luxury skin care products.
I’m the least accessorized gal you’ve ever known. My mon/aunt/female relatives keep on complaining why I look ‘plain’ during some family affairs/wedding/etc.
Most of the time I simply told them, I can tolerate nothing less than a diamond & that shut them off. hahahahahha!
I love diamond. They are second stable form of carbon after graphite. In jewellery industry, they are judged by 4C’s = carat, clarity, color & cut.
In scientific term, diamond defined as carbon allotrope with isometric-hexoctahedral crystal lattice, molecular weight of 12.01 u. High dispersion of light with 10 mohs scale of hardness (Though aggregated diamond nanarods, ADNRs are known to be more than 10 mohs scale of hardness, I don’t care, not that I want to destroy the diamond I’m wearing, LOL).
I was google-shopping just now, and this is the outcome of my perfect jewelry.

and who can resist that pretty blue-turquoise icon box with a white ribbon.
Ah! Thought of driving to the tennis practice wall after lunch but the weather doesn’t agree with me today. Sigh. Early this morning, I went out with my mother to do some grocery shopping at the Wawasan. I need to buy my facial wash too as I’m running out of it. I also need to buy something to overcome my breakouts. So I bought my usual Clinique liquid facial wash and Clinique anti-blemish solutions clearing moisturizer.

I have oily skin & I’ve been in constant battle with blemishes since I reached puberty. On top of that, I have extreme hormonal imbalance that makes it worse for my skin to stay clear & healthy + other environmental factors (dust, weather, etc).
By right I should discontinue using my 3-step solutions & opt for anti-blemish solutions clear skin system ( same as the famous 3-step but they put some antiseptic-smell ingredients in this system) but the lady over the counter said I still be able to use my normal 3-step with the help of the anti-blemish moisturizer (as it contain powerful Benzoyl Peroxide). Too much of these anti-blemish system also not good for the skin as it will dry up my skin. So yeah, I will still continue using my 3-step skin care system + the anti-blemish moisturizer. Problem solved.
I’m thinking of getting the scar removal too as my face ATM, full with ache-scar. It looks horrible and I’m too lazy to cover it with powder. But I’m running low on cash & I’m too lazy to run to the nearest ATM to withdraw money. Ha.ha.
Anyway, we had lunch with my cousin before heading to Likas Square to collect some dry-cleaning stuff & drove back home. (I volunteer to be the chauffeur today, LOL)
Oh, I’ve been looking up & down for my toothpaste. Seems that KK running out of these toothpaste. Oh goodie. I really need one right now.
Another thing that I’ve been drooling over the past half an hour, is the new…. (drumrolls)
Some of the features are:
1. Ultra thin with 3 pounds (!!!) weight
2. Brilliance Multi touch oversize trackpad
3. Now-you-see-now-you-don’t port hatch flips
4. Micro. Chip. (Even smaller than the smallest chip, heh)
5. Slimmer battery with the same 5-hours capacity.
6 Everything. wireless.
7. GORGEOUS. yes, you read it.
But I think some of the setback of slimmer, lighter notebook would be:
1. No internal superdrive (I think it is such a hassle to have another external superdrive if you’re on the go & need to burn/watch DVD
2. No cable port/ Ethernet port. OK, now people go wireless-ly everywhere but some really need Ethernet port. To have one I bet you must fork out another say RM109 for the USB Ethernet Adapter. ( YES i know the price because most of the adapter for macbook will be about this range); Video-adapter etc.
3. OK, to achieve in redefining thin, Macbook air shed the optical drive bla bla (read about their wireless feature!) but hey, not everyone owns a notebook & Mac at the same time, right?
Enough said. This notebook makes me feel shy owning the current model of Macbook because this new one is simply irresistable. YUMMY.
P/s: I wonder how much this one cost? 6K perhaps?
I clicked on the pre-order now button & the 1.8GHz cost about USD 3, 098.00. OMFG!
