GATSBY

Was reading through some of my hairstyle magazines and came across this really good and detailed article about WAX in JPN. So I decided to do a translation and add some nice info for those who would need info either way...

I am gonna start with Gatsby... which most SG guys hate but still use either way...

FIRST the matrix chart...



ORANGE (Short Medium – Medium)
Enables hair to move freely and to look like it is perm. Hair looks and feels more natural and is really easy to style.



Purple (Short)
Used mainly for hairstyles which require a hard hold. It can also withstand active movements and holds for long hours.



Red (Short)
Specializes in making spikes and hair stands or edges, this is the most popular among the series.



Blue (ALL)
Makes your hair look healthy and also gives a wet look without being sticky.



Yellow (Short Medium)
Makes the hair spikes look soft and yet retains its shape.



Green (Medium)
Makes the hair look and feel airy. Has a texture which is easy to mix, making restyling easy.



Black (ALL)
A very strong set and keep power. Best to be used in conjunction with another wax as a finishing.



Grey (Short)
For matt look without curls.

Prowler

Living in the Darkness,
Always awaiting the opportunity,
Disregards any particular warmth,
Exploits the surroundings and weaknesses,
Tearing through all to reach its goal,
Devours,
Devours,
Devours,
Leaving none for scavengers,
Cold blooded yet not one by nature...

It's sad that you and I share the same traits and common name...

Forward

A decision made and acted upon should never be frown upon or worth regretting. This was how I have always felt about stuff. Sometimes, when the situation calls for a quick decision and to ease the suffering of related parties, it is made at the consideration of the well-being of all. It does not and never will be one sided; being such would only amount to regretting the decision made.

Reflecting on bad decisions made would always be the best way to learn. Regretting will get me nowhere as I would just keep pondering on my mistakes and yet not move forward. But does the other party sometime hope that you would move on so soon? I'd separate the time frame for both as short term and long term. Reflections being short term as you quickly address the wrong choice made and think of what you could have done to better it, leaving no time for remorse and jumping to the next phase. Regrets can last a lifetime, amounting to long term. You do not get over it and it comes back to haunt you all the time. You run from it, seek solace and possibly distract yourself from your negative emotions but yet, in the end everything hits you twice as hard and often lessons which could have been learned becomes irreversible scars, embedded into your memory, lasting to be worse memories that haunt you over and over again.

Scars do not heal over time. They are merely forgotten and are easily triggered by events, people. We only run away from them, burying them deep within but yet they spring forth faster than any sweet memory and eats into us. They are a reminder to us at times too, that in our happiest moments in life, that when we are probably at our most vulnerable moments, we must never be complacent and to be alert to avoid a possible comeback. So do we associate them with reflections or regrets? It is of a nature that takes two shapes... and often to how we would want to see it. Yet, the determination in human is such, that sometimes we think and feel that we have learned from a mistake, we truly haven't and it is just sitting there. Waiting for us. In its darkest moment, spring forth, causing more agony and regrets for life.

Prep Prep Prep Prep

So much happened this week (I lump in last week's saturday and sunday too)...

Foremost, on Saturday I went to ZARA for winter shopping! At last I got my winter clothes! They were costly but the design was good anyways and cost just $200 (on average per piece) than the ugly ones at WinterTime or any other so-called specialised winter clothes shops! Spent a total of $885 on 4 pieces... I think that's the norm right? There was this Sherlock holmes look alike one which was like $399, some other similar one which was $349, and a jacket which costes $199 and a normal cardigan (?) for about $99. I think ZARA's stuff are quite cheap actually... but some people told me that I can find better ones in UK itself... well, that's when I am there. Now, I am going there and surely I do not wanna be caught wearing the same stuff for like 1 month?!?

For sunday, I shopped mainly at parkway and the nearby stores... was DESPERATE for black stuff... I recall looking for black utensils etc but then there were none so I settled for white ones. Other than usual kitchenware, I got some nice electronic appliances too... Was actually set to get a normal boiling kettle for hot water... but instead got a superbly big one which can boil and store water for long.. it does quite a lot of rubbish too but I am not too sure of it at the moment. LOL. My wonderful steamboat set was also reduced to a small all-in-one kinda steamboat machine... I wanted one which the frying pan/wok would be over the heating element so I can just swap the wok for another etc... Oh well, it's ok either way... just not so convenient :P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah! Since this is about my prep, I shall lump this in too! I was SOOOOOOO glad that I managed to get my VISA! The Brit High Commission gave me up till 31 OCT 2011!! See how long I'd be away from dreaded SG! LOL. Did I mention my exit permit was approved too? It didn't even require much other than a few finger clicks! LOL. Now I'm really set for UK...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, I managed to get my BLACK bedsheets set too... along with towels with black and brown patterns... why not all black right? It seems impossible to find any.. so I just make do with that... lol anyways the pattern looks good too so why not?

Now what I left with is...

Pillow n Bolster
eeePC
Black curtains (?) if it's really possible

Oh and I made my hair ash blonde yesterday... MWAHAHA
