Yeah!!!

Hi all,

I just can't hide my excitement anymore. 1 more night to go, which I am going to be awake anyway...

I am excited. And when I am, I can't stop talking about it...

1 more night to go back home....

2 more nights for Chitrapournami!!!


Chitrapournami 2012
This picture was taken last year. I hid someone's face that I know with the number 2012. Actually during Chitrapournami, you will be busy taking the pictures of 'kavadi' but end of the day you will realize that you have captured the faces of your friends, ex-classmates, enemies etc.

I don't get excited for Thaipusam but yes Chitrapournami I do. Everybody who lives around Teluk Intan, Hutan Melintang and Bagan Datoh do get excited.

Vaange vaange, mari mari, lai lai... let's celebrate it together!!!

I can already hear 'urumi'....

Embracing the Natural You

Hi,

I have just realized that I should embrace the natural me...

I start to rebond or straighten my hair when I was 13. I have a curly, frizzy hair but back then, I did not know how to take care of it. I did not know that conditioner plays an important role for curly, frizzy and dry hair. Basically, I did not know how to take care of my hair.

When I entered secondary school...I was the teased for my hair by the boys and equally by the girls. The only difference is boys talk in front of me but the girls talk behind me. They called me 'bee hive' and even African girl because of my curly hair. I could not take it, peer pressure they called and my episode of hair straightening continued for 10years.

Then, I slowly realized that curls is the season now. Even straight hair girls go for curls...wow, I didn't know curls is such in a demand. Then I decided... to grow back my natural curly hair. It is not easy but I am determined.

I told myself that I did not need to sit for 7 hours in a saloon. I do not need to withstand any straightening hair cream smell. I do not need to withstand the heat of the straightener. I do not need to expose my hair to chemicals. I do not need to waste RM200 every 6 months.

Right now my inspiration is Merida from Brave:-

This is how my hair going to look like...:)
