DIY hairstyle

Got myself a new toy lately. A Philips Saloncurl Ceramic aka a hair curler. The ladies will know what it is.

I have always curious about these curlers whether do they really work and is it hard to DIY the nice hairstyles as per the pictures on the box. These curlers are not cheap. The cheapest I think is about RM100 or so. Knowing myself very well, I won't spent such money on such thing. I rather spent it on a good meal or clothes or shoes. That's me.

Anyway, since I have accumulated a certain amount of Bonus Link points (thanks to my petrol usage) and there's nothing much to be exchanged with my oh so little points, I finally decided to exchange it with a hair curler so I can save cost on my saloon trips ;)

The box arrived just in time cos I was in one of those 'quite free' moment. Immediately I try out the new machine. Quickly going through the little manual
book and I'm all ready for some curling actions. Insert the plug to the main socket and turn the machine on. Waited for about 3 mins and the indicator says I can start curling. Tested it out on a small lock of hair and the result is good. I decided to do the curl for the whole head. It's not as easy as I thought. I have to part my hair into 2 sides with a hair clip. Start doing from the side of the head and working backward to the back of my head. When it come to those hair which is at the back of your head, it's hard. But I still managed, I think. After finishing my left side hair, the result looks satisfying to me. So I continue with the balance of the hair.

After about half an hour I'm done with curling my hair. And I am very satisfied with my own works. The curls are sexy. Too bad I don't have anywhere to go tonight. Sent a photo of myself with the new look to my cousin for some comment and she said it's nice. As if I have done i
t in a hair saloon. I'm posting the photo here so maybe someone can give me some comment?

What does this mean?

Last night I had another weird dream. As everyone knows, I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately whenever I sleep but last night's dream is still very fresh in my mind now.

I dreamt I was pregnant and went into labour. I don't know how the scenario start but all I remember is I was walking around with a big tummy and suddenly I need to give birth. Scary indeed. Worse thing is, I had to give birth in somewhere which is not a hospital. And a close friend or relative help me with the giving birth. I remembered she told me to 'push' and then they start pulling what seems to be the umbilical cord out from me. Yuck! The next minute I remembered a lot of shouts for 'push' and then the baby is out. It's a baby girl. A very beautiful baby girl. It is indeed a scary scenario with me going into labour without doctors and nurses and not even in a hospital but somehow seeing the newborn baby bring a very warm feeling. Funny thing is, the experience of going into labour in my dream seems so real that it's unbelievable.

The dream is still bits and pieces to me now. After the giving birth scenario, I saw myself in my old house. Weird cos I no longer stay there. My parents were there. Dad was playing with the baby. I remember seeing the baby girl's face for the first time. She's indeed very beautiful. Big eyes. Fair skin. Quite a lot of hair for a baby. She is wrap with a white towel. She is quite big a size for a newborn.

Another scenario came in, a wedding. Not mine. But an uncle of mine. Nothing much unusual about the wedding. The usual round of waiting for the dinner to start and all the yum seng follow by all the guest going home. Still, I don't know why I have to dream about it. But I did saw a grand uncle of mine holding the baby.

It is indeed very weird. Don't even know why I had such dreams. As I'm writing this blog, memory of this dream is slowly fading away. Except the baby's face which remain in my mind.
Wonder what does this dream mean?
