waah... long time no update!

i had been super vain lately, buying dresses, dyeing hair, getting highlights and ow... getting manicure. yes... my wallet hurts, but haiz... youth only comes once. besides, i get over this phrase soon enough, and you guys will see the sloppy, irrelevant, denim skirts clad, juz grab anything from the closet Sijin again. but it feels really nice to dress up once in a while. but it really takes up alot of time. hmm... my hair colour. i had to go Kimage twice to get a satisfactory result. the first time i wasn't happy with the non-existence highlights. everyone complained saying they couldn't see any change from before. (vomit blood.) no one noticed i even dyed my hair again until i told them. ($80++ wasted.) Luckily, my friend told me that Kimage can redo your hair till you are happy with the results as long as you bring the receipt to them within 10 days of the first service. Not bad!! i have to say, i really feel very pai sei that i requested to do re-highlights. but the stylist was really nice about it. he even gave me a scalp massage when he could have spit on my bowl of hair colour. In the end? My highlights are pretty obvious now... but i think i will attempt a lighter shade of brown next time. People usually get experimental when they are teenagers, me? i go a little crazy when i become 22.
I went a little Stephen King frenzy over the week, reading 2 of his newest books within 5 days. I got his latest hardcover-Lisey's story first, then gleefully grabbed the newly released paperback-Cell, when i juz finished Lisey. He is really a marvellous writer. Truly, remarkable prose and awe inspiring imagination aside, i think his greatest talent lies in the fact that he managed to create characters so real i can absolutely relate myself to them. Stephen King really managed to capture the quirks, idiosycracies and characteristics of people stunningly on the mark. I went " woah... bulls' eye!" Personally, although Cell is a pretty good effort by Stephen King, i like Lisey's story better. Read it and you know. I find it very touching.
