Malaysia Day.

So today happened actually because we got a tweet from Joe (after today, Joelie) asking to hang out since it's after trials, and we should catch up before drowning in books again. (I was sick at this time so I wasn't really in the convo) Anyway, our parents were all okay with plus since Joe got his license and car, it just made things easier.

This is Joelie, the driver and man for the day. I was pretty curious to what people thought though, either he must be a real ladies man to have so many chicks around him or he's just gay. (*cough* V-neckBrightBluePants&TightShirt*cough*)

These 2 pretty ladies are Marie (Mama Tanz) & MeiKuan (Bestfriend)

They were the girls of the day! ♥

I stayed over at Cait's place last night with Callie to watch 21JumpStreet so Joe picked me up first at Cait's. He actually sent me a text message saying,

' Get out, get out, get out of your bed, and come into my car instead' 

You cannot imagine how my reaction was cause it sounded so wrong on so many different levels.

Then we kinda got lost trying to pick up Marie and then headed to old town to pick up MeiKuan. 

Silly girl was wearing a jacket the WHOLE day cause she had tuition after. Hats off to her though cause even in a tee and shorts with my hair down, I was already sweating buckets!

Ended up going for Ice Kacang in old town! *\o/* Totally satisfied all our cravings. But after devouring our ice-y desserts, we headed off to State for Chatime where we talked and camwhored like crazy on Mama's iPad.

Quite Pai Seh cause we were cam whoring facing the 'bartenders' so they were actually taking turns to watch us!

Camwhored so much to the point we were doing it at GUARDIAN. Check out the dettol and hair-dye in the backgrounds!

Soon after though, we had to send MeiKuan back for tuition, so as Joelie drived, we talked and camwhored so more!

Ended up chilling at MeiKuan's tuition til her class started, so we were really just doing random stuff.

(This is how Joe got 'Joelie')

 Once MeiKuan's class started, we took off to OUG Parkson to buy some mushrooms and sent Marie back. Joe then sent me back but his car broke down at the traffic light to the turning into my housing area. 

I STARTED TO PANIC. I was just going 

' OMG OMG, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!' 

And Joe was just like 

' Chill only, I kena before so just wait, we'll be fine' 

He was right, the engine started again after awhile. When we reached my house, he actually went past it, so I said nevermind, just do a 3-point-turn. And as he was doing so, his car engine just died. Like BOOM DIED. 

I had to wake my dad up to check out the car and apparently the engine looked over heated. When the contractor doing my backyard (My house is under partial renovation right now) came out to help open the hood, a whole lot of smoke just exploded out of the car! But after the contractor, my dad, granduncle and neighbour took a look at it, Joe called his dad and Papa Joelie came to Joe's rescue. 

All I can say is, I had a really good day with great friends and I thank god that Joe's car broke down in front of my house. 

Cause MeiKuan's fingers damn itchy backside.

Hair Chalking.

You might ask, wtf is this 'hair chalking'? Well refer to the picture above. (I took it off tumblr)

Hair chalking is basically colouring your hair with chalk. It's not permanent and it'll wash out instantly when in contact with water! I posted a profile picture on facebook after I chalked my hair about 2 weeks ago and since, had a lot of people asking me to teach them how to do it. 

Since trials are over, heck why not? But mind the pictures and their quality. My sister took them for me and I was too lazy to edit them, so just ignore and look past all the towels and what-nots of the backgrounds.

WARNING : 

Can stain clothes, hands (For a few hours) and gets messy.

You're going to need :

1. Pastel chalk

2. Hair brush

3. Water or hairspray

4. hair dryer or heating tool

5. Gloves (Optional)

Step 1 : Comb through your hair. Get rid of whatever knots you have cause you'll have a difficult time combing your hair after.

Step 2 : Pick a section of your hair that you want to chalk, and tie the rest of your hair in a pony tail to make sure nothing gets in the way with you and your chalking! (I suggest you do this in the bathroom over your sink)

Step 3 : Wet the section of hair you plan to chalk. What I normally do is I just stick my head under a running tap and soak that section. Spraying on the water isn't going to get good effects and it kinda damages your hair more. (Explination below)

Step 4 : Choose your chalk and 'colour' your hair. Just wedge the chalk and hair together between your fingers, get a good tension between the two and pull till the end. Repeat a couple of times. (Refer to the pictures)

You should get something like this after  few goes. (:

Step 5 : Dry the chalked section with a hair dryer or heating tool. This will set the chalk in your hair. (If you have dry hair like me, I recommend you use a hair dryer, refer below)

Step 6 : Comb through the back and you're done!

TADA! This was the profile picture I used. 

OKAY. So just a few tips and questions to answer.

1. What chalk should I use and where can I find them?

Use pastel chalk. Its more for arts a crafts to draw on paper and colour and it's definitely not the same as your usual black board chalk. The pigments of pastel chalk are smaller if I'm not mistaken. Just DO NOT USE NORMAL CHALK. I got mine at Daiso for RM5 though the quality isn't that good, but hey, you got to give and take for 18 colours for just RM5. You can also find them at Art friend (Gardens mall) but they're much more expensive. (If I remember correctly, about RM4 per stick) I think it's of a better quality, but again, you gotta give and take for 18 colours for RM5!

2. Does chalking my hair damage it? Would it stain my clothes?

This is solid proof. My comb is officially stained from hair chalking. Yes, it can stain your clothes especially when it's wet, so make sure you wear something you don't mind getting dirty. Also use an old comb you're willing to let get dirty and stained. Which is also why I said it's optional to wear gloves because it can also stain your hair for a day or a few hours. And it's sad to say but yes, hair chalking can damage your hair. Remember, pastel chalk was made for drawing and art, not for hair purposes. 

3. Is there a difference between using water and hairspray? And also a hair dryer and heating tool?

Yes, but VERY slight. It's really based more on self preference really. I prefer using water over hair spray because it's easier to get on and wash off. Also hair spray is stickier to work with and to comb after but on a positive note, it helps the chalk stay on longer. Also, I just prefer using a hair dryer instead of a heating tool because I have very coarse dry hair. I'm already damaging my hair with chalk, so I rather not damage it further with a heating tool, so I opt to use a hair dryer instead. It's also a cleaner option because I won't have to stain and clean the heating tool! :D

Anyway, that's basically it! :D

Hope you guys have fun trying this out, experiment with colours, and if you're doing this with a friend, braid each others hair cause it's really nice braided. (:

If you have any more questions, just comment and ask me!

Have fun!
