sometimes i think that the only reason i'm not having a breakdown yet is because of my ability to procrastinate even though i have a million things to do. for e.g. i took fri off cos i have to complete 1 assignment, 1 presentation and 1 thesis title + purpose (it's harder than u think ok) this weekend. fast forward to sunday evening and i still have 1 assignment, 1 presentation and 1 thesis title + purpose to finish. did make some progress on the assignment but haven't even started on the other 2 things. was supposed to meet up with groupmates to put together the presentation today but they're just as lazy as i am to go out... probably haven't finished their parts either. haha.
spent the entire day today doing the assignment in between watching tv, surfing shopping sites (even though i'm not getting anything cos i totally blew the budget this month) and napping. if i had half the discipline of some people, i'd probably be worry free as of lunchtime or something. but nooo... and tonight i need to discuss the assignment cos it's downright vague and confusing and critique 6 papers for the presentation and come up with a legitimate thesis title + purpose which our supervisor can approve so that we can finally move on and do up our proposal.
so, seeing how i have no one to blame but myself if i'm rushing things last minute, i don't actually have the right to break down or get stressed do i?
next weekend i have a 50% proposal and the thesis proposal to complete. think it's unfair that the 50% proposal in lieu of exam is due on the last day of class instead of the first week of exams (which would've given us more time to complete something which is worth that much) but the lecturer seems biased against/for some students so i will not pursue an extension request.
i will have another nap instead and print out the proposal 2 hours before it's due.

trich(er) happy
so i spent a small fortune last night on my hair. yes, my hair. it was an awesome experience and i would go back again (confirm), but my heart still aches from the amount i spent. haha. yeah this is what happens when u're trying to save as much as possible but some things just get in the way. went to the ke.ras.tas.e hair ins.titu.te at j.'s s.alon with shereen, cos only she will understand the need for pampering. lol. been wanting to go for ages but only just made the appointment this month cos of the bonus.
we thought it would just be a matter of us going to the salon and getting our hair did, but no... it was a spa experience sia! well i should've expected it cos i read about it in a mag, which is why we were there in the first place. since we were first timers obviously they gave us the full package thingy ah. nice setting, very serene and plush, with a gushing waterwall feature and all. got changed into comfy robes and had our hair and scalps analysed. omfg! the machine magnified our hair 10 000 times and i must say mine is in a sorry state. damn gross looking u know. i already knew my scalp was both oily and flaky and hair was getting thin but she confirmed it i guess. scalp is also sensitive. why am i not surprised. hair is not bad tho, pretty good. there are supposed to be 3-4 strands growing from each root but i had like, 1 or 2. pathetic rite. each strand wasn't very thick also. shereen's was twice the thickness of mine. haha.
so onwards to the treatment prescribed by the hair stylist person. think i had to have like 4 different products on. so leceh for such a small amount of hair. wahaha. it was pretty nice, she really worked my scalp man. package also included a head, neck and shoulder massage so it was quite relaxing. haven't had a massage in aaaages. shereen added on a trim and a manicure. i didn't cos i think if i had a trim i'd be tempted to get my hair shorter than it should be. haha.
my only gripe was that the person assigned to me couldn't speak english and was using hand gestures and occasional words to tell me what's going on. it's one of my major pet peeves when service sector people can't speak english. i decided to let it go lah, cos she was quite nice. can't blame her if her clientele is mainly made up of taitais and she has no obvious need to learn english rite? *rolls eyes*
anyways, got my hair blown straight as a finale and it looked pretty nice. it seems that i'm currently growing a bob of sorts. hmm. ended up getting some products too cos i wanna continue having the results at home. shampoo for sensitive scalps and treatment to stimulate hair growth. the treatment will last me about 6 wks so i guess i will go back to the salon after that. if the analysis shows that there's no difference then i'll know not to go there anymore. haha. anyone wanna join? :)
