Braids and blings.

Hectic, hectic, HECTIC schedule this past two weeks!! Been running from Science practicals to Inter-school Drama Festival play rehearsals (which are coming along well, btw!) to tuitions to Sports Day tryouts!

And trying to fit in meals, homework, blogging and whatever else, whenever else I can. The next thing that's coming up is the Inter-house Malay Debate Competition, otherwise known as Bahas.

And to add even more celebration to the party, Mid-Year Exams are coming up fast! Time and tide waits for no man, but I really wish it would wait for just this one girl here :(

When people say Form 5 is no ride in the park, they are not kidding! It is busy as hell. But I realized something just now, in the car on the way home from Add Maths tuition. I'm actually truly and completely happy. Everything I need is here right now :)

Things are finally going right in my (busy) life and I'm content. I'm not wishing for anything... unless you count more free time on my hands.

And maybe a new pair of shoes wouldn't hurt? :D

I shall try my best not to mess this up! Better knock on wood. Anyway, enough digressing!

I love hair braids (on your head, not anywhere else! Cause I think I've heard about braiding hair down there before -_-"), but they take practice to perfect and I'm just a lazy girl.

A few days ago after school while waiting for Biology practicals, JiaJia our resident cheesy cougar puffs, did this to my hair!

It's a hairband... literally!

I've wanted to try out a braided headband for so long but I couldn't do it with my curly hair, and my hair (although rebonded continuously since 2007) has never been frizz-free enough to do it.

It finally is, though! Thanks to a new Pantene hair product I'm using called the Pantene Hair Mask which performs miracles on my hair! I used to always despise cheap Pantene products but this one is a huge surprise.

It makes my hair unbelievably soft, smooth and straight with lots of weight and volume to boot. Before, I was using a Wella Professionals leave-in cream that cost like... 5 times more? It was like B$20 a tube!

But sadly, it wasn't working very well for me anymore and my hair was doubling in size and becoming tangled, rough and unmanageable. It even stuck out at my shoulders -_-" Looked like crap, basically.

But no more! I heart my natural-looking straight hair now!! From past experiences (wahseh, sound like expert!), I have an inkling feeling that the Pantene Hair Mask contains silicone, which does absolute wonders for hair! <3

I also finally did something I've been putting off for a few weeks. I blinged the whole back of my phone! :D

Woohoo, my phone is officially pimped out!

Left lubangs for the camera and flash.

It's such a glitter princess now! That sure took care of the fact that my phone had been starting to look plain and lack-luster. My phone's almost 1 and a half years old! But still works like a charm and I love it to death.

I haven't blinged the front yet though. I used the sticker-type blings that are easily removeable. I just cannot commit to applying crystals permanently with epoxy glue! I am non-commital. Fuck.

That would explain a lot about some of the decisions I've subconsciously made in my life :( My brain tells me yes, I want this! But my heart tells me no, I'd better not. (Or is it the other way around?) Grrr!

No no, happy place, go back to my happy place!! I am supposed to be extremely blissful, remember? Yes :)

P/S: Phew, now that this blogging thing's done, I can continue catching up with new episodes of Grey's Anatomy! PPStream is love. And that's a fact.
