I curled my hair for the first time EVER!

I've been wanting to curl my hair for years now but don't really have the guts to do it. Not a risk taker when it comes to my hair. I've been on the same hairstyle almost all my life, just longer and shorter (but it has to be below shoulders). Mom disapproves me spoiling my hair with all types of chemicals too so she's not into me doing any coloring, straightening or curling of any sort. Though I managed to color it once 2 years back but didn't get around of doing it again. Maintenance is such a fuss and expensive!

I finally did it yesterday. I opt for digital perm and the whole thing took FOUR hours! It was that long cos I have thick hair and since my hair is still a *ehem* virgin, it takes a lot longer time to absorb the chemicals.

Saying my last goodbye to my straight hair


Chemicals spread evenly on hair.


The thingy that makes the hair curl! My hair is long and thick. Add in those rollers and sponges I felt like I was carrying two heads instead of one. Super heavy! I couldn't even move my neck.

I came to the saloon prepared. Brought along a book I purchased yesterday. At least I didn't have to spend the FOUR hours reading some past issues of Seventeen and Cleo, or flip through pictures in the Chinese mags.

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. So far so good! I'm going really slow and taking my time to read this one. Don't want to finish another book so soon.

The result!

So what do you think? While doing my hair, the hair stylist asked my age and when she found out, she said I have baby face. Yes you can see me grinning from one ear to the other the whole time! But when I was done and my hair was all curled up, she then said "No more baby, big girl already!" LOL! Some commented I look more matured now. I personally like it but I'm still not used to styling curly hair so I'm a mess right now.

Not only it was FOUR hours, I had to carry those heavy curlers on my head, now I can't wash my hair for the next three days. What women are willing to go through in the name of beauty -_- No pain no gain!

Where Rainbows End by Cecilia Ahern

When we reached the airport yesterday, our flight is still 4 hours away and we were so early, our check-in counter was not even open yet.

I got really bored and I didn't want to drain my phone's battery from emailing Zech and checking on facebook/twitter all the time so I went to the book shop hoping to get some magazines because they are a a few ringgits cheaper there compared to here (or how they like to refer it as East Malaysia).

So there I was in the shop going through shelves of books and magazines when I saw this book, Where Rainbows End by Cecilia Ahern. Now who doesn't know Cecilia Ahern! If you don't know her by her books, then you know the movie that they've adapted from her novel, P/S I love you. I glanced through the summary and I thought the story was cute.

Thing is, I haven't been reading any books for so many years now when people ask me if I do like to read, I'd say only magazines. Truth is, since way back in primary school and all through my high school years, I love books! If you can't find me at the CD store (there were no mp3s and I was a big fan of buying my boybands original CDs. You know, N Sync all that), you'd find me in a bookstore. I'd go out shopping and bring back 3 different books and 3 different CDs. No clothes, shoes or whatsoever in that category.

So I was quite hesitant in getting the book, not sure if I still have the interest or vibe in reading. I know the author is famous for great novels, the story from the summary is something I know I would love to read. With the thought of spending another 4 hours waiting? I grabbed the book, took the latest copy of Women's Weekly and Her World, purchased!

Where Rainbows End by Cecilia Ahern

Guess what? I bought the book at 4pm yesterday at KLIA, 4pm today I'm done reading it! Done in less than 24 hours. I still got the vibe after all. Still a bookworm at heart! Event slept at 2am last night cos the next page can't wait for tomorrow.

All I have to say is, I love the book and was quite sad that it had to end. Yet I was so excited in getting myself another book! Most probably also by Cecelia Ahern. Any other suggestions? I love romantic comedies be it for movies or books. Sappy romance with hints of humor.
