Lazy Sunday
I wanted to blog today but I'm too lazy to transfer the pictures of my cat into the computer.
I'll just leave you guys with this picture.
Can you guess who this is supposed to be?
Yup, it's our Indian Chief, super-star, beautiful and talented Sheylara!
The Husband kept going "Wah, really look like lei."
Then he'll stare at the computer screen for another 10 seconds and "Really look like!"
As you can see, I just can't forget about those boots.
You're never too old to play with dolls
Just found this website Candy Bar Doll Maker and I have been hooked on it for quite some time.
This just brings me back to my childhood days when I actually thought paper dolls were fun! I remembered begging my mum to buy them for me so that i can have a 2-dimensional doll that has it's arms and legs all in fixed positions.
Then I discovered the joy of Barbie with it's movable arms, legs and neck, which were at times detachable too.
Hey, I didn't do it purposely! They just happened to...errr...drop off! Yeah, that's right!
So while I was playing around with the doll, I created this.
By the way, this is supposed to be me.
I know I know, I don't have eyes as big as this, neither are my eyes blue, and neither do I have such a big head on top of such a small body.
This is just artistic license ok?
But the dressing is very me.
I love feminine dresses and I love cute bags.
And for the weirdest reason, I love to pair dresses with sneakers. Heels are so obvious.
While I was messing around with the doll, I was suddenly feeling a teeney little jealous of the doll's wardrobe. She has like tons of clothes and hundreds of pairs of shoes. Jealous of a virtual doll....weird right?
I will be making one doll for every of my future blogs to represent my friends. Only my gal pals ok. The site has not provided a male template to work with so I doubt you guys wanna have girl avatars.
Hmmm...maybe Morte or Khallrik wouldn't mind....
Speaking of my friends, last Saturday's surprise birthday party for Suvena was a huge success!
The barbeque was great, the company was great and the look of shock and happiness on Suvena's face was the greatest of all!
She was delighted with her presents. Hello Kitty table lamp anyone?
For all my friends whose blog I have not linked, have no fear, it will be linked one day...soon...I hope.
Coz Aelynna is the one taking care of all the website, my job is to blog and make sure I paste the right links for the kaoanis. All the pictures I have uploaded, she has to do some background work (I have no idea what although she did try to explain to me).
She will put up the links and everything, but since she's so busy now, I will just leave her alone....
(Coz if I nag her too much she may decide to quit being my technical support then I will be in big trouble.)
But now that I have discovered the joy of putting up pictures, I think she's gonna make me learn to upload them myself or kill me.
The Earth is Flat
After I announced I was rebonding my hair, some of my friends actually expressed, quite strongly in fact, that I should NOT do it. Davienne said I have pretty curls. I want to ask : Where?
Well, it's too late now. The deed has been done!
So let's not dwell upon the state of my hair and move on to a new topic.
I was quite excited recently because my favourite author, Terry Pratchett, has just published the paperback version of his latest book from the Discworld Series. I immediately got my hands on one.
Discworld, to the uninitiated, is a fantasy world that that parodies our real world. It is flat, supported by 4 gigantic elephants, standing on top of a humongous turtle. And the turtle, happily carrying it's load, swims through space.
Don't laugh.
Before the accepted theory that earth is round, people did think that the earth is flat and was supported by 4 elephants on top of a turtle.
Now, with advanced technology, space travel and all that stuff, we come to know the earth as a sphere. We, human beings, have accepted and believe in the spherical world. Well, most of us anyway. The people of The Flat Earth Society believe that the earth is flat.
They believe in the flat world whole-heartedly. So much so that any evidence from NASA is regarded as fake and out to brainwash the masses.
Err...I'm digressing, aren't I?
Back to Discworld.
Since it is a made up world, anything possible or impossible happens in there.
The grim reaper or Death makes an appearance frequently and TALKS LIKE THIS.
But my all time favourite characters in the series would be the 3 witches.
They do not do anythings that is expected of witches.
Things like dancing naked in the moonlight, possessing a huge array of mystical symbols and knives and stirring a huge couldron with mysterious ingredients is unlikely to happen.
They do have flying broomsticks though.
What they do possess, is a whole lot of common sense.
Perhaps why I like this series so much would be the sarcastic humour, and Mr Pratchett's ability to write on something happening in the real world and make it seem totally silly in Discworld. Sometimes, I would go : Yeah, why are we doing that anyway?
And yet, the story always ends realistically, well as realistically as it can in a fantasy world. There is the "happy" ending in the sense of "good has triumph over evil" ending, but there is never a "fairy tale" ending.
I will leave you all with advice from Discworld, by one of the witches, Nanny Oog.
Nanny Ogg is an...interesting character....
Well, read the quote and see why~
Never trust a dog with orange eyebrows. (don't ask me why)
Always get the young man's name and address. (self-explanatory)
And always wear completely clean underwear everyday because you never know when you will be knocked down and killed by a runaway horse and if people found you had unsatisfactory underwear on, you'd die of shame. (errr....)
Maybe this explains why I have so much underwear. 
We are organising a BBQ this sat~
I am so excited. I love BBQs! 
Curly Fries
I just got a haircut.
After 3 years of heavily abusing my poor tresses with rebonding, dyeing and bleaching, my hair looks like some avian species' nest.
So I hardened my heart and went to the hairdresser to lop it off.
He did a good job, I must say, although he did take quite long to cut my hair. I sat there for a good hour or so. He even apologised to me for the long haircut.
He cut off the horrible dried ends and layered my hair. After he finished with flat ironing my hair, I thought I looked cute.
Shorter hair means hair that is easier to wash, easier to dry...good move in my opinion.
But after the first shower, and I washed my hair....
I hate my natural curls.
Why is it that people with naturally super straight hair wants curls and people like me, who have naturally curly hair want bone straight hair?
The Husband is the only person to see the before curly and after curly version. So naturally, I had to ask him.
"Dear, straight hair prettier or curly hair prettier?"
"Err...both also nice." (he learns fast)
"But which one nicer?"
"Straight hair look younger."
That's it. I'm rebonding my hair.
