My New Hair Regimen

Am so tired of my hair and want to cut it shorter or even completely low. Before I do, am going to try some new products and see how it works.
I went to sunway pyramid today and spent over a hundred ringiit on these hair products; they better work or else...!


I went swimming afterwards, then I applied a mixture of oils on the hair to begin my one week of trial. I mixed coconut oil with olive oil and anti dandruff oil, put on a shower cap and am in bed updating my blog before retiring to bed.....Tomorrow I will continue by washing the hair and flat ironing it, the new products are;



Herbal essence moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for my dry-frizzy hair


So happy to have this 100% coconut oil, all the way from India. My flat mate told me that it will make my hair grow fast and healthy just like Indian hair!


Hair serum, will apply this before I flat iron the hair to protect it from the heat



100% olive oil, this is very thick and smells awesome too. I will be applying it to my hair every night before I sleep.




Wide tooth comb to detangle hair after washing, and rat-tail comb to make lines before flat ironing.



My lovely lovely FLAT IRON. This is the best thing I have ever bought.



Me, last week and my hair. Next week I'll take another picture to see if therez any difference. Hope I get convinced not to cut my hair!

7 Years of my Life Gone to Sleep!

"I must sleep for at least 6 hours a day or else I wont be able to function" was my number 3 on the list of 5 important things to know about me. My class mates had an in-class training for me and some of my other colleagues as part of course work that was worth 15% in Psychology of Education on presentation skills. We were asked as part of the training activity to prepare presentation slides on "5 things you want your class mates to know about you".....

Exactly one week after my lovely presentation and getting good comments from my classmates and even lecturer, I finally realized how much of my life time I have actually wasted by allowing myself sleep for so long hours.

This is simple logic and calculation that even me who barely managed to get a C in Statistics can do. There are 365 days in a year, and since I am 23 years old that means I have slept for 8395 days (365 * 23). I sleep for at least 7hrs a day which is a total of 58765 hours in my life time (7 *8395)..........I have slept 7 hours in total sleeping.......

This is so disheartening, I cant believe that I have used only 16 years out of my whole life. Truth is, it may not even be up to that number of years if I take out time I use to shower, hang out with friends, eat etc. I may end up having not even up to 6 years of productivity in my life....how sad

My calculation could even be wrong for all I care, the bottom line is I SLEEP TOO MUCH. The irony is AM NOT WILLING TO SLEEP ANY LESS cos as my lecturer said in class today, an average adult needs about 6- 7 hours of sleep for good health and sustainability of the body metabolism and blah blah blah

Life sure sucks; I sleep 7 hrs and feel am wasting my time, I sleep less and am told itz not good for my health. Am doing what I want to do, whether it takes my time or not, am still going to SLEEP.
