Long hair, go or no go?


HELLO EVERYBIRDEEEEEEE!!!!! 




Noticed something different abt me??? 

All girls like to ask this! IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!!! hahahahaha



ok fine... u may not notice... NAH! MAKE IT VERY OBVIOUS FOR U ALL OKAY!


(A picture of me during one of my birthday celebrationS!)


IT'S MY HAIR!!!!! It's longer now! And BLACK! hahahaha


why??? Singapore's weather is so fucking hot and all... why would I want long hair??? well there's a few reasons:
1. I ALWAYS had short hair... since I was born... my parents didn't want me to have long hair because it's quite hard to take care of it. 
2. I wanted a change. I had like medium hair length, short, and super short! but never long.
3. To irritate my project mates. They regard me as a BRO so yea this is to add on my femininity or whatever there is... haha! 


I would say that this is a good change? I kinda like it coz I look prettyyyyyy! HAHAHA! SO SHAMELESS!  
From the side! 


If you guys are wondering, HOW CAN MY HAIR GROW SO LONG SUDDENLY? duh it's hair extensions... and this is how it's braided on...

It doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.Ok probably the first few days. Once I got used to it, its actually nothing much. I wanna see how I look with long hair so I went ahead to get the hair extensions. Why don't I grow it myself? Well, my hair take ages to grow because I have natural curls.... to wait for it to grow this long, I will die first.


Come come let me answer a few questions that u guys might have with regards to hair extensions
1. can you wash it?
Duh you can! it's just more inconvenient as you have all these braided stuff... All you need is extra care and be gentle. 

2. Can you dye it?
My extensions are all natural i.e real human hair. I can dye, curl or straighten it if I want to. Basically it's like normal hair. 

3. Do you feel any discomfort?
I have low pain tolerance, so it kinda hurt when the hairdresser kept pulling my hair to braid it. Also, for the first few days, it's kinda troublesome as I'm not used to it. It's a pain to wash and comb my hair. I got so irritated I almost went to take those extensions out the next day. But I thought of the 200 dollars that I spent I just tolerated it. haha! I took 1 week to get used to this... cut me some slack as I had short hair all my life ok!!!!!!!!! oh and the thought of those extensions being some real human hair is kinda scary. like those horror movie? the hair will try to strangle you or something when you are sleeping... HAHA! sorry I'm a weirdo. Well, I just don't think about this. Use my bimbo-ness and think about how good I look instead hahaha! OH OH! And Singapore's weather is FUCKING hot. So the long hair doesn't help! 



I know that it's not easy for someone to just go and do the extensions as you might worry about alot of things. Unable to take care of it, not getting  used to the look, scared that people will judge you and those. And yes I did thought of those. Many people especially girls (those bitchy ones) always come and irritate the hell out of me by saying things like, "OMG CYNTHIA! WHY IS YOUR HAIR SUDDENLY SO LONG
? HAIR EXTENSIONS HUH! (than they go and touch it all) OMG EEEE DON'T YOU THINK IT'S DISGUSTING? just let it grow like mine la!' I didn't type this is caps as I'm agitated. I typed it in caps because they always say this kinda stuff damn loudly in public. -.- 

I gotta admit I was quite pissed off at first. If you are gonna answer your own questions than don't ask me anything. And I don't like people touching me, be it my face, my body or my hair. If you wanna touch go touch yourself and leave me alone. Anyway, coming back to the topic about people judging, the answer is to simply ignore or rather, embrace it. Come on, do you have natural brown hair? or your eyelids are naturally coloured? or your iris is fucking green? or your nails are naturally pink? So tall without your heels? Your boobs are naturally this big? Your nose is naturally sharp? (sorry this is meant for the bitches that I met... not u) All of us put on makeup and stuff to make ourselves look better. some even put on cosmetic lenses into their EYES and you say extensions are what? gross? at least I won't get any infections or go blind. The point I'm trying to put across here is, you have to feel inferior or bad at all when people try to put you down. As long as you are happy, you are fine the way you are. :)


Anyway, I did my hair at angel xin, the branch at city plaza as it's nearer to my place. (too lazy to travel hehe) this is webbie: http://www.angelxin.com.sg/ you guys can go check it out! Their service is not bad as they would match your hair colour so it will look super natural. I dyed my hair black before doing the extensions and there wasn't any match. So they actually went to dye the extensions to match my black hair without any surcharge! so awesome right! They were also super patient and nice. I would rate it 4 stars out of 5! (Minus one star as the deco of the place is horrible. There are A LOT OF ROOM for improvement for the deco of the place.)

NOTW: Fat Braided Nails

Apologies for the unsightly title.

However, I'm merely depicting what's on my nails. Initially, the idea was to have some nice braided patterns on my nails. I saw some really cool ways of painting braids on your nails and was totally inspired to try them out of my nails.

But the thing is that, I have weirdly sized nails for an adult. My pinky, is probably only about 0.5cm tall and I don't usually grow my nails because I play sports and guitar/ukulele, so it's really hard having long nails! So this design was totally awkward on my hands, and after much self delusional talk I had with myself, I think they still look like some abstract patterns, right?=/

Here it is. And don't laugh.

And I hope you guys have a lovely weekend! :)
