Coins? Paper Money?

I always don't get why we need coins. Why not change all the coins into paper notes? Paper money is lighter, and more convenient to bring around. Some wallets even do not have pockets for coins! Mine is an example. And the consequence? I do not bring coins out, but always end up bringing coins back, and so my coins just keep increasing and not decreasing...

I ate dog food!

Oh yeah, I ate dog food! First time in my life!

Here, this is how dog food should look like:

Woof woof!

Dog food from Gourmet Sausage. The bottom most layer is covered with fries, followed by sliced sausages with meat sauce and onions, topped with cheese. I personally dislike meat sauce. Other than that, the dish is nice.

Gourmet Sausage has interesting menu. Other than the dog food, there are also two lost pigs, hungry dinosaur, and others which I couldn't recall. Funny names. Hahaha.

Movie Marathon

Hello again! Wonder why am I so free to blog these days? Because I'm currently having my holiday! And I'm lucky enough to have Golden Screen Cinema pre-opening free screening promotion to happen during my holiday, meaning, I get to enjoy free movies!

What's a Kuching-ian (meaning, Kuching citizen? lol) if you don't follow the Kuching trend, right? So of course, I don't want to miss the free screening! Woke up early to queue for the ticket yesterday.

Long queue despite it's a weekday morning! Queued for 30 minutes to get my free tickets! And I have to say, the counter girl is very effective! You should see her speed when she picked our choice, moving as fast as she can! Hahaha, thumbs up.

6 tickets altogether for 3 humans! Meaning, 2 movies for us - Upside Down and Twilight: Breaking Dawn.

Upside Down was...umm...weird... I don't know how to say that, it's just W.E.I.R.D. I wouldn't say it's not nice, but I wouldn't say it's nice either. Friend said it's romantic though. Anyway, our reaction after watching the movie is "....".

Twilight: Breaking Dawn. For your information, I'm not a fan of Twilight. Watched the first and second season, but didn't continue after that cause I find it boring...or rather, I don't get the movie... Reading the story book is better. And Breaking Dawn is still boring. The whole story circles around proving the kid to be theirs, and all they need to do is let the kid do the "magic", and it's proven. And the so-called battle never actually exist... like what?

Hall 2 theater. Not much people watched the early movie. I'm one of the first to enter Hall 2 that morning! The hall was empty and so I anyhow take picture until the lights went off, then I quickly scrambled back to my seat like an idiot. Hahaha. The photo is so blurry because I guess my camera couldn't focus in the dark.

Ending the post with a photo of me with the infamous mirror in the toilet.

Colorful Hair

I actually planned this post since last month. Wanna make it at least a post a month, but was too busy with assignments and exams that I don't have the free time to edit the photos, and, dragged my post to this month. Meaning, no post for March. Ouch. Anyway...

Here's my current hair - gradient bronze, or you can call it dip dye bronze hair.

Fact is, this is not dip dyed. I dyed my whole hair red (sweety pink to be exact) more than half year ago and this is what happened after the hair grow, plus, the color faded, not as nice as before anymore (though it never really looked red...it's reddish brown from the beginning...hais). Now the faded color make it looks as if my hair is spoiled...

I had always wished to highlight my hair red since middle school. I wanted something different from others, so my first thought was to highlight it in the inner middle back part of the hair (if you get where I mean?). Then I met a friend who did exactly what I wanted! Total coincidence! So I changed my mind. Then I saw Christina Perri's white highlighted hair, and wanted something similar, but red! Did photoshop and get this:

I wonder if it's achievable without bleaching. No way I'm bleaching my hair.

But then my friend reminded me as being a business student, meaning I'll most probably end up as an office lady and you don't see office lady with such hair do you? I might face trouble while searching for job...

Oh ya, did I not mentioned I'm a business student in my blog before? I know how people always mistaken me as a design student. Haha, now you know I'm a business student. Of course, there are reasons here and there why I ended up choosing business rather than design, but that's another story...

While editing the photo for my hair, I found brown hair to suit me quite well.

Maybe not really THAT well, but at least better than my black hair...

See?

I wish I could maintain my hair at brown, but considering the aftermath of dying your hair plus all those expenses spent on maintaining it, including hair treatment to prevent it from spoiling...? Better think twice.

This post was actually created to complain how I think my current hair color looks ugly, but in the end after all the editings, I think my gradient bronze hair wasn't that bad afterall. Well, at least better than my black hair.

Vermiphobia

It's 3am last night, and I'm awake. Am supposed to post this at that moment, but the computer isn't in my room and there's this rule in my house that we're not allowed to use the computer pass midnight unless under certain exceptions. Sneaking out to the living room to use the computer is way too risky and it's not worth risking that just for a blog post, so I could just wait till the morning when I'm free to use the computer.

So, back to the reason why I am awake at a time like that? I was awaken by a nightmare of me seeing a worm. Yes, just as simple as that. Awaken, crying hard. This may sound funny, but I'm actually a sufferer of Vermiphobia - phobia of worms, classified as Specific Phobia of the animal type. I just can't stand staring at a worm for more than a few seconds without crying. There's no exact factor to how an individual can suffer from phobia, but I guess there are 2 possibilities to how I suffer from this phobia.

#1: Genetic link.
Unreasonable? Well, Wiki says it's possible. Read this:

"It appears that family members of a person diagnosed with Specific Phobia have an increased risk of developing the disorder. Particularly, first-degree biological relatives of person with Specific Phobias, Animal type, are more likely than the general population to have animal phobias."

And since my older brother is also suffering from Specific Phobia (phobia of butterflies), and remembering my dad also used to suffer from such phobia (phobia of lizards), it kinda make sense this way. On a side note, dad is no longer phobia of lizards. There's a saying that phobia can go away on their own upon maturity, or maybe, dad just happened to overcome it?

#2: Trauma.
I had this bad experience of being frightened (nearly to death) by a little earthworm when I was about 5 or 6 years old. It was my first time trying to bath alone with the lights off. Then halfway I felt something moving under my feet, so I looked down and... there's this liiiiittle earthworm under my feet wiggling. I screamed and petrified. Grandma came to the rescue, but I was already petrified, not moving even an inch. So mum kinda believed that incident caused my phobia, but it could also be the other way round - the phobia caused that incident. Which?

So exactly how I get this phobia? An unanswered question. But one thing for sure, I'm currently a sufferer of Vermiphobia.

Cut cut cut!

I'm unwilling to visit the barber just for hair trimming once in a few months and pay the full amount similar to cutting your whole head. It's not worth, especially for me, who only thin my hair and trim my fringe, no one would notice whether I cut or not, it just look tidier that's all. So I suddenly had this idea of cutting it myself. All I need is a pair of thinning shears for thinning, and a pair of scissors for trimming!

So I got myself a pair of thinning shears.

The me before I start my trimming.

After thinning my hair, but left my fringe untouched.

Fringe trimmed.

So, any difference? Hahahaha. I wasn't daring enough to trim too much. But at least I do think it looks tidier, not from the photo, but from real experience within these few days after I trimmed my hair, I can see it tidier especially when I just wake up from sleep or after bath.

By the way, this is not my first time trimming my own fringe. Hahaha. I did that a few times during my middle school. Trimming fringe isn't really hard. But this is my first time using the thinning shears! It wasn't as easy as I thought! Anyway, practice makes perfect. Muahahahaha, what spirit! But this doesn't mean I won't be visiting the barber anymore, it just mean that I won't be visiting the barber as much. Lalala...
