Hair Loss

I went to the hair dresser to get my hair cut today.

As usual, I will instruct the hair dresser not to layer my hair because my hair is already very thin!

My hairdresser will then asked if I am facing the problem of hair loss. Always, I had to tell them that I have a high forehead and I think I am not facing any hair loss.

Previously, there was this female hairdresser who said that my hair is really dropping while she pointed to my sides of my 美人尖.

What is 美人尖?

According to the official defination in Baidu, 前额正中发际线向下凸一尖，称美人尖。因为古代美女额头正中的头发往往都会往下再长一点，形成“M”型发际，所以俗称“美人尖”。

Of course 美人尖 is not just limited to girls.

Even Nicolas Tse has it. Hahaha. SEE~!!!

Yesh. She pointed to this part of my hair line and cited that I am having hair loss!!!!

OMG!!!

After that, it got me so paranoid till I freak out when I see my hair on my study table. I thought I am really experiencing hair loss.

OMG. This photos shows all the different kinds of hair loss that you can experience.

Know how hair loss can transformed you. It can totally changed you!!!! And it's a bad change!!!

Case Study: Prince William

Just look what hair loss has done to Prince William.

Look~!!! He was so dashing and handsome previously.

Just at the age of 25, Prince William is experiencing hair loss. He is not looking as good as before! Well, i got to admit that he seem to age a lot too. However, hair loss is just like an addition to his woes of his aging looks. Apparently, Prince William mentioned that he doesn mind but I do mind!!! Hahhaa.

Today, my hairdresser mentioned that I have an oily scalp and the pores are going to get clogged which may eventually lead to hair loss.

OMG!!! I am getting a new shampoo tomorrow. An against oily scalp one. Hahhaa.

In addition to my measures to combat hair loss, I also got this from the 药材店.

HAHAHAH!!!!

MAI SIAO SIAO HOR!!! Japanese brand okay!!! Yohmo tonic!!!

Apparently, I was told by the uncle at the shop that this tonic encourages hair growth.

How do I use it?

Just merely massage gently onto scalp everyday after bath. Hahahha.

I have been using it for months but I dont know if i see improvement! Hahaha.

However, my friends did mentioned that my hair got thicker. =)

Fortunately, my dad is not bald. Genes play a big part in deciding if you have hair loss.

I really hope that I wont bald because I am already not good looking. Being bald will make me look even worst. Hahaha. God, please help. hahaha.

Okay, i need to go. Bye.

PS: I hope that my gift gets to you.

还珠格格

A really long entry.

I was rather shock to know that quite a number of people come to my blog based on their search on the web.

Having Nuffnang ads, I could trace what were the keywords that led readers to my blog.

Amazingly, 还珠格格 were the the most popular keywords that led them to my blog.


Isn this amazing? Hahhaa.

The drama have already been aired for more than 10 years ago but people are still searching for 还珠格格 on search engines.

Even though my blog is a personal blog and I seldom write commercialised entries now but i feel like dedicating an entry to this famous drama that took Asia by storm. Hahaha.


Do you know how famous 还珠格格 was?

The drama was aired in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan, HongKong, Korea and many other countries and had enjoyed really high ratings. Apparently, reports from websites mentioned that Korean television broadcasters had to shift the drama to a midnight time slot because it was enjoying very high ratings, beating all other local dramas at that period of time. After the 环珠格格 craze, Korea even had a rule which limits the amount of Chinese drama that can be aired on local tvs!!

In Singapore, many were crazy over the show too. I have a Ang Moh Pai army friend who has only watched 2 Chinese dramas before and they are 还珠格格 and 流星花园. SEE~! 还珠格格is that popular!!! Both dramas were really popular in Asia and no other dramas have yet to match with their achievements until now.


The show propelled the careers of 4 main leads to new heights.

I remembered my family got the VCD of the drama from my mother's friend and we got hook on immediately, Everyday, we will just stay in the room and just watch from morning till night. We will rush to toliets only when the theme song was playing. No one is supposed to watch the drama if he/she wakes up first the next morning. We must wait till everyone wakes up and watch the drama together. My mom did not want to cook because she didn want to miss any episode. My dad had to 打包 food for us every evening when he returns from work. Needless to say, we had our lunch and dinner in the room too because the VCD player was in the room and we couldn miss any single part.

My sister could even imitate 晴儿 then. I think most of you will be puzzled now because you may be unsure who 晴儿 is. Hahaha. 晴儿 is the girl who serves 老佛爷in the second sequel of the drama.

It is quite a pity that 含香 passed away due to a car accident right after she had just gained fame from the show.

Anyway, i watched the drama again 2 years ago before I enlist because i got hooked onto it once again. Hahhaa.

Anyway, at the period of time, there were cards, pencil boxes and many other 周边山品 with the main leads on them!!!! Hahaha.

The 2 couples in the drama. I like to watch the pair of Alec Su and Vicki Zhao because 小燕子 was really cute and playful. Unlike 紫薇，she had many bad points and Alec Su just embraced all her good and bad points despite being a prince!!! I think this made their love more touching. Furthermore, they are so much funnier and I think both Vicki Zhao and Alec Su look better too. On a side note, Vicki Zhao looks better in period dramas.

On the other hand, 紫薇 and 尔康 didn have much problems as a couple because 紫薇 is a princess while 尔康 is an Imperial Guard. Was his position called 御前侍卫？Hahaha. I forgot. Thus, the writer could only write on stuff like 尔康 getting blind and their lines were always very 诗情画意 and 文绉绉. Hahaha.

And how can we forget about the much hated 皇后 and 荣嬷嬷!

Until now, I still dont understand why 紫薇 and 小燕子 pleaded for them when the Emperor wants to kill them. Hahaha. Who is that kind hearted on earth?

I bet Michelle teared when she saw 荣嬷嬷 pricking needles on 紫薇. Hahaha.

Last but not least, the drama had so many nice theme songs and they were really really popular back then too.

I wanted to put the videos up here but there are really too many to choose from!!!

《你是风儿我是沙》，《当》，《雨蝶》，《有一个姑娘》......

Therefore, I shall not put up any of them here then. Hahaha.

环珠格格 is so famous till I believe it will always be remembered by many. Until now, I think only 流星花园 was quite famous in Asia but it's achievements still cannot match that of 还珠格格.

Hiaz. Childhood memories~!!!!

Bye!

I Wish I Can Study For Long Hours

I wish i can study for long hours so that I wont fail my tests. Hahaha.

Anyway, I got back one of my quiz and I got 9 marks.

Not out of 10. Not out of 15. Not out of 20.

It is over 25!!!

Fortunately, that test contributes to only 5% of the overall score. Hahaha.

I dont think my gpa will be high enough to allow me to apply for my exchange next year. Hahhaa.

It's okay. I can still visit Taiwan for a tour. Hahha.

My outfit for school yesterday.


Shirt From Ben Sherman
Jeans From Zara
Shoes From Converse (A birthday gift from my army friends)

Nothing special actually. Just felt like imitating Meiqing's blog entries previously! Hahhaa.

Why cant I imitate!!! We are best friends okay!!! Hahaha.

Bye~!!

Alzheimer

My friend recommended me this video.

It's about senile dementia.

I thought it was rather touching despite the poor acting and language. Hahahaha.

Michelle, you need to watch this!!!

Michelle Lim Ai Yi, you must watch this!!!! Hahaha.

Because you will definitely tear!!! Hahha.

A few days ago, Mom went to Grandpa's house and she was told by the maid that there was one day when Grandpa asked her what was the time. After replying, Grandpa said that he need to rush off to a place. Apparently, my grandpa told the maid that he needs to go over to kindergarden opposite his home to fetch my brother and me home. This was what he always did when my brother and I were young. My grandpa is diagnosed with mild senile dementia now.

Felt a little upset when my mom told me about this.

Anyway, I think Iam going to be kicked out of school soon. Hahhaa. I am practically just watching videos everyday. Hahaha.

Bye.

韩流来袭

안녕하세요~!!!

I am going crazy over a particular Korean variety show these days. The title of the Korean variety show is We Got Married. OMG!! It's darn nice. Hahaha. It's actually a reality show which brings Korean pop idols together and let them experience a married life.

I know many of you will probably think that I am mad now. Hahhaa.

I dont care. It's really a really really really nice show~!!!!

OMG!!! I cant seem to get enough of the show till I went to look at all the previous episodes~~!!! Hahahaa.

Gosh~! When will the next episode be coming up?!?!?!

Rude Taxi Driver

I woke up late today and I need to cab to school.

The taxi driver was really rude~!

I wanted the taxi to just go straight after it entered NTU because the taxi had to go straight or i will never reach my destination. Thus, I said, "Uncle，你一直走直直。”

Know what is his reply??

OMG! He was darn rude!!!!

This was his reply!!!!

“小弟，去Changi也是一直走直直leh!!"

WTF!

Furthermore, it was in a really sarcastic tone!!!

Is he having his Monday blues~!!! What's wrong with my instructions!!

Anyway, I just feel like posting this photo. Hahhaa.


My attempt at an emo pic. Hahaha.

I seem to enjoy being alone these days~! Hahhaa.

Anyway, credits to YiLong for taking this photo for me.

Bye.

Giving Up Of Seats

Reserved seating/priority seats are common sights on trains in developed countries. Being a first world country, the trains in Singapore definitely have reserved seating.



Actually, I always give up my seat for those who need it more than me. I think you can also give up your seat even if you are not sitting on the reserved seats. However, there are times when I am unsure if I should give up my seat! Hahaha.


1) Is He/She Old Enough

First, I am unsure if that uncle or auntie is consider old enough. Seriously, how old is old? Hahaha. I think someone in his/her 50s is still consider rather young. Usually, I only give up my seats to those who look really feeble. I am not trying to be mean but the retirement age is now set at more than 62. I cant be giving up my seat for someone who is deems fit and healthy to work by the government. Furthermore, some may find it an insult if they think they are not that old. Today, an auntie stood right in front of the reserved seat and starting staring at the guy who was sitting on the reserved seat. Complying to the immense pressure let out the eyes of the lady, the guy just offered his seat to her. I felt rather puzzled because that lady look like she is just in her 40s. She could be at the very most in her early 50s....I wont give up my seat for her. Hahha.

2) Pregnant or fat

Next, I am always unsure if the lady is fat or she is pregnant. Some ladies have thin limbs so when they have bulging tummies, i can easily see that they are pregnant. However, some are not really slim and it makes it hard for me to determine if she is pregnant or fat. I am sure you must have watched several sponsored variety shows of channel 8 by Expressions, Jean Yip or London Weight Management! Often, girls on these variety shows mentioned that they sink into depressions because many give up reserved seats to them thinking that they are pregnant! I don't wish to be a baddie!!!! Hahhaa. Therefore, I will choose the safest way if i am unsure and continue to sit on my seat.

Okay, i guess this summarizes my dilemmas when it comes to giving up of seats to the others. Hahhaa.

Just felt like blogging because of what i saw this evening. Hahhaa. I guess it's a break from the stress the comes from my mid term this friday!!!

Uni life is boring and tough. Tons of stuff to study.

Bye~!!!

When Studying Goes Wrong

As the title of this entry suggests, this is what happens when studying goes wrong.




Hahhaa. I need to make better use of my recess week to catch up with the others!!!

AHHH....Taiwan!!!!!

Friends in Green

This afternoon, I was chatting about my army life with my classmates.

I find out that it's hard not to talk about army after being in it. Hahaha.

I chose this photo because I was from the batch that get to wear both types of uniforms. Hahaha.

I do agree that serving national service can be a waste of time but I am glad that I have completed it. Often, I listen to others talk about their experiences while giving their advices to me before I enlist. Now, it's my turn to talk about my experiences to my younger cousins before they enlist. Hahaha. I am also happy that I went through my 2 years of national service without "chao genging" except for a single day when I had live firing! Hahahaa. Lastly, I forged great friendships during my stay in the unit. I think our friendship is especially strong because we have been through hardships together. Even now, my army friends and I still talk about our outfields experiences! Ha. Oh yeah, i wont and cant forget my really dumb ps who always annoy me too! Hahaha.

A blury photo of my army friends and me.

Thanks for your gifts!! Hahaha.

Bye!

平凡不过的21岁生日

生日快乐！

Wedding = Socialising

Went to my cousin wedding yesterday.

My cousin held her wedding at Meritus Mandarin Hotel.

This was my outfit for the wedding.

I think I need to grow some meat. Hahhaa. I look skinny.

I felt a little tired during the wedding as I had to do a lot of socialising. Hahaha. During the wedding, I had to put up a pretentious smile when talking to my uncles, aunties and cousins. Questions like when are you getting a girlfriend/boyfriend and when are you getting married are always posed to the younger generation. Perfect starters for conversations!!! Seriously, I am sure many of us are sick of answering these questions. However, we still have to reply our relatives with a smile because they are JUST being concerned. Hahaha. I am not really pissed off but this has already become the norm for all family gatherings. I dont always meet up with my relatives so I dont think it's okay for me to tell them about my relationships once I see them. I believe my relatives will probably think that I am mad if I suddenly start sharing all my problems with them yesterday. Nevertheless, I think I am rather close to some of my relatives.

However, I am not too sure what kind of questions can we ask during family gatherings. I got to admit that I ask lame questions like how is school and when are you enlisting too. Hahaha.

Okay okay. I guess I need get used to this since i am guilty of asking lame questions too. Hahhaa.

Anyway, I offically declare that I am too stupid for musical instruments.

Anyway, I should be studying but I am not!!!!

Bye!!

Random

A random entry. Hahaha.

Went studying with Melvin and Meiqing at NIE yesterday. Overall, we chatted quite a bit but I managed to complete some of the work. Anyway, it's definitely better than when I am studying at home. The computer and the television is just too much of a temptation.


Empty canteen.


Messy table. Hahhaa.

Meiqing and Melvin hard at work.

Took a photo of ourselves before we left. Hahhaa.

Anyway, have you guys bought the I-weekly this week?

It is the one with Donnie Yen on the cover. My article is published! =)))

I had actually sent out my article the week before so I thought it would be published last week. However, i saw my article this week instead. Hahhaa. Sometimes, life is just about uncertainties.

Yeah. This is my article. Actually, I find it badly written after I read it again today. It is about dialects AGAIN. Hahaha. I am always writing about dialects. Somehow, my articles on dialects seem to be striking a chord with the editors more. Hahaa.

Nevertheless, I still won myself a watch from Cosmopolitian. It's a ladies watch but I can probably give it to my mom. I am hoping that they will change the prize when I claim for it next month. Hahhaa. Anyway, they always do so.

As usual, the editors made changes to my article. This was what I had orginally written.

阮的批

很喜欢上星期杨丽玲的《自由论》。

喜欢江蕙，也喜欢台语歌。庆幸自己小时候是公公带大的，所以还能够听得懂福建话，并且感动于歌词的含意。曾经听人说过，台语歌曲所能带来的感动大大多于其他语言的歌曲。我原本不这么认为，但在接触了台语歌曲后，我才明白其中的道理。江蕙的《家后》，《落雨声》和《甲你揽牢牢》---- 这三首歌有着含蓄简单的歌词却能制造出澎湃动人的情感，“感动度”之然不在话下。

新加坡在过几十年将很有可能完全失去我们的方言。试问：失去了方言，我们仅仅失去了一个毫不重要的地方语言吗？

真的很希望方言能够在本地电视重见天日。

PS: 阮是台语的我的意思。批念pway，是信的意思。

I wanted to make the letter sound more interesting by giving it a hokkien title but it didn work out. Hahaha. I really thought it was creative!!!

I have a craving for snow skin mooncakes!!! Hahha.

Okay, bye!

Everything With Fries

Went dining with my best friends at Everything with Fries.

Seriously, food wasn that nice and service was really bad. First, we requested for iced water and the waitress told us that there wasn enough cups in the restaurant at the very moment!! Wth! Aren restaurants supposed to have cups more than the maximum capacity that they can manage? Next, they didn pass us the forks when they served their food. Are they expecting us to eat with our hands?!?! Lastly, they forgot an order of us and made John waited for his order for more than 30 minutes!!!! This is totally unacceptable!!

Melvin with his REALLY TOUGH pork chop.

Sometimes, it is really nice to just listen to my friends talk about lives. Hahhaa. Anyway, we were all so agitated when we talked about our skin. Hahha. I really hope that we will all have good skin.

Friends forever.

Shopping Trip

Went shopping with Meiqing yesterday.

Meiqing bought lots of pretty clothes while I just bought a book. I saw a nice vest but I wonder if it's worthwhile to get a vest now. Hahaha.



Our outfits yesterday. As usual, Meiqing dressed fasionably while I looked just like an average joe. Hahaha.

We bought books to enrich ourselves. Hahhaa. I need to buck up on the command of my chinese language now!!!! There are many Chinese and Malaysians in Chinese studies!!! They are seriously freaking me out. Hahhaa.

Shall end off with photos that were taken when we were having dinner. Hahaha.

School is starting next tuesday!!!

Friends in Ntu, feel free to meet me for lunch. =)

化妆前后

Well, take a look!!!

OMG!!! Isn this exaggerating. 差太多了吧.

Take a look at this video.

Hahaha.

没有丑女人，只有懒女人。

School is starting next week. I am rather excited about it!!! Hahaha.

Bye!
