I WANT BLUE HAIR NOW PLEASE

I REALLY WANT TO DYE MY HAIR BLUE

I've been wanting to do this for a while now and I've been saving money.

But then I decided to do it myself. Well, me and Vill. She wants some purple and I want two shades of blue. I found a shop when I was walking around with Nadiah and it sold hair dyes of various brands. They also had bleach and just so many other hair products.

I want the bottom part of my hair to be visibly blue. So like a lighter than midnight blue kind of colour or maybe just bright, deep blue. As for the top of my hair, I want it to be really dark blue; blue black.

I'm so excited about this. Mostly because I'm going to do it myself. No salon. No expensive stylists.

I've watched so many videos on how to bleach and dye hair. I've watched tutorials on using different types of bleach and how to get the ombre effect. I now have a lot more information about hair dyeing than I did this morning. I know about different strengths of bleach and different brands of hair dye. I know why I should use foil and I know how to get an even colour.

I JUST WANT TO START PUTTING ALL THIS NEW FOUND KNOWLEDGE TO GOOD USE!

I am so restless. I just really want to dye my hair. It's so exciting; dyeing my own hair. It's so exciting to think that I'm going to have blue hair soon. It's so exciting to know that Vill is going to have some purple in her hair. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS EXCITING except the waiting. The waiting sucks.

And the only silver lining I can find is delayed gratification.

I will definitely love the blue hair so much more after all this waiting.

NOW PLEASE

I've also been thinking about actually having blue hair. Being a student, this would be great. I think I'll look nice with blue hair and I'd have so much fun telling people that I did it at home. AND, I would probably be more confident about dyeing my hair more often. I'm still in uni. I might as well make the most of it.

I doubt I'll be able to have funky hair in most jobs in Malaysia.

Speaking of jobs, I haven't found anything that I could possibly apply for that is related to my psychology degree. It's kind of sad. So I don't want to think about it more on this post. Maybe another post in the future.

I WANT BLUE HAIR NOW PLEASE

The Lecturer's Fangirl

It's that time of the year again. Time for the shortest month of the year! Which also happens to be my favourite month... for obvious reasons.

This semester has been going quite well. The subjects are interesting, the assignments are not as taxing (or maybe I've just gotten used to handing in 15 pages for each assignment every semester), and the lecturers are brilliant.

I get to see Dr. Eugene for 2 classes every week. That's 6 hours per week! This has to be the best semester I've had since I began on this psycho path. Needless to say, I'm a little bit of a fan of Dr. Eugene. His classes are always interesting and I love listening to him speak. It sounds to me that sometimes his brain wants to get the words out a lot faster than he his vocal cords can keep up with so he stumbles. Or he sounds like he's about to stumble. He's brilliant and no one can change my mind about him.

I also have Mr. Alex who is a joy to have, especially since he's the Biopsychology lecturer. He explains things really well, in my opinion and his notes are concise. Mr. Alex is to me in HELP what Pn. Nik was in secondary school. I love Bio and he makes me love it more each class. I'm actually caught up on all my biopsych readings! I was quite surprised when I realised it.

Now all I need to do I keep up with all the readings that Dr. Eugene gives us. Seriously, almost every scientific research journal is a bore to get through. The introductions are sometimes interesting but when they're not, 6 pages of a scientific prologue can be a little too much. After that, I get lost somewhere around the Methods and Results sections. The discussions are fine if you know what you're looking for. And of course, the conclusions are the best part but also the most useless section of the journal if you're looking for a line or two to explain the gist of the paper.

Anyways, this post is really just something I wrote because I feel like writing. And I really needed to get all my excitement over Dr. Eugene out to somewhere other than Davina's ears. The poor lass has been listening to me fangirl over him for the past 3 weeks now.

Happy New Year, y'all!

A Week of Thursdays

Howdy folks!

It's been very Christmassy here at home. I've been baking cookies and wrapping tons of presents. 'Tis the season!

I have, this week alone, baked 2 different kinds of cookie, made a chocolate tart and wrapped approximately 22 presents. I feel accomplished:) I still have 2 more batches of cookies to make and a couple more presents to complete. But hey, Christmas is still 3 days away.

OMGLOB!

I JUST REALISED THAT CHRISTMAS IS THREE DAYS AWAY!

THREE DAYS!

THREE!

AHHHH!!! :)

Ok. I have calmed down.

I am really excited about this Christmas. I'm actually baking more than one cookie. I usually just make one batch of butterscotch melts and mum buys the rest. But this year, we're not getting any from outside so it's up to me to make sure that the coffee table is stocked with cookies!

Which is why I have made 2 different types of cookies so far. The usual butterscotch melts and chocolate meringue cookies. I still have to make the peanut cookies and coffee snow melts. So, yes, this Christmas is definitely special.

The other thing that makes this year special, at least for me, is that I've actually managed to get presents for everyone on my list. It has worked out beautifully. :) I made an effort and it paid off! I still have a couple more gifts to get but it is considered done.

So, good Christmas:)

Have I mentioned how excited I am?

I think I have.

Anyways, I want to watch Supernatural but I have them on DVDs and my laptop doesn't have a CD player therefore I can only watch it on TV. And that can only happen when I have control over the TV. In this house, I rank the lowest on the remote control controller list. So, not much hope. But 'tis ok because I have till 7th of January. :)

One more thing. Back when I still had classes, I had Thursdays off. And right now, this whole week just feels like one long Thursday. Everyday is Thursday!

Till we meet again.
Allons-y!

Dancing Like The Doctor

Last time I was here, it was November!

So, days have been ok. The sketchy week kinda dragged on for a while but I think it's almost over now. Day's aren't sketchy anymore but I can't guarantee that they're free from spasms of emotional turmoil. Still, pretty good.

I'm now on series 6 of Doctor Who. I like Eleven. I was reluctant to start series 5 because Ten was just perfect in so many ways and I didn't want to be disappointed by Eleven. I mean, what if he was less awesome?? Also, I've read some stuff online about people not being very happy about the kind of Doctor Eleven is and the series in general. So, I was worried.

But I soldiered on and I'm glad I did!

Yes, personally, I think series 5 started a little slow on the emotional upheavals but Eleven is adorable. He's got his own style and he's quirky in ways that Ten never was. Also, he's changed a bit in the general character. The Doctor has always been a no weapons kinda Time Lord. No guns, no violence. Always try and save everyone.

It's different with Eleven . Yes, he doesn't use guns but he's ok with other people using it and he doesn't try as hard to save everyone. However, I don't think this is bad characterisation. I think it's more like the Doctor has evolved. He's been through so much and this is who he is now.

Also, I really like Eleven's inherent weirdness. He's a big 5 year old. Arrogant too but he's earned the right to be. Eleven is twitchy and restless and awkward. It's fun to watch! Matt Smith is doing really well, I think:)

Phew. That's a lot of Doctor Who. Anyways, the series picked up and the emotional upheavals have arrived.  The Van Gogh episode was killer. It really was. I can't wait to finish series 6 so I can move on to the current season :)

Anyways, school has been good. This is the last week of classes for the semester. Which means, exams are next! Fourteen weeks of lectures and it all comes down to 4 days of exams. Oh well. I'm not to worried. I have a plan of action:)

What matters right now is the book sale tomorrow! BIGBADWOLF! ROSE! (That's a Doctor Who reference. Don't mind me:))

So yea, book heaven tomorrow! EHHHE:)

OH! I showed my brother all the sonic screwdrivers online. I want! Ten's, Eleven's, River's (the one Doctor gave her in the future), and the Master's laser screwdriver. I shall collect them! (Which reminds me, Davina has small Dalek thingys!!! AHHH! EXTERMINAAAATE!)

Finally, I'm very excited about this Simple Plan secret santa thing I joined. My secret santa sent me an anonymous message saying that my gift has been delivered! AHH! I can't wait to see it!

AND, I'm going to mail a gift to the one I'm secret santa-ing soon! Just need to get stuff together! This is exciting!

Ok. Food awaits. I'll try not to keep this page un-updated for long ok. Cross my heart.

Here, have this gif of Eleven dancing:

I shall employ this dance move the next time I dance
