let's talk about hair
Hey everyone!
I've something up for you guys. Actually not from me, but from New Idea, Australia. :D
I reckon a lot of your friends or relatives actually washed their hair EVERY DAY or TWICE A DAY, which is in the morning and at night. Worst still, you were told that you are not hygienic for not washing hair every day. Sounds familiar?
Well, I browsed the internet once I woke up and saw this little column of hair beauty myths! I love myths..! Just kidding.
Ok. So the first point that were mentioned is Washing your hair every day.
Actually hor, there's no need to wash your hair everyday as you will end up striping away its natural oil. I love my hair the very next day I washed and I don't end up washing it every day. Maybe 2 days once will do? Because I'm using Redken dandruff shampoo, it clears my oily scalp and by washing my hair every 2 days, my scalp oil grows and I felt more moistured the next day-loh.

Second point: Blow-drying soaking wet hair
I blow my hair once I washed my hair and due to my lack of knowledge of hair then, I had tremendous scary hair loss. Since then, I was introduced to use Redken anti thinning shampoo and it works! Really. It was worth to buy if you love your hair. So, before you blow your hair, assure that it's towel dried to about 80% and then blowed it and scrunch dry hair with your hand rather than using a brush. I love using hand to style my hair too. That's like innate comb!
There's actually another 2 points. And I have to cite the site, betul?

ps: Just in case you wonder if I'm using Redken products, the answer is YES! I love Redken and I have 4 of its products which is Dandruff shampoo, for thinning hair shampoo, volume12 ultra straight balm and volume 1 smoothing serum. Among all, volume 12 is my favourite top 1. Tame my bloody frizzy hair. :D
So, how often do you guys washed your hair? Do comment and share about it!

How much I *heart* internet
I'm considering myself as late adopters since I often wait for few months when new innovation things pop up in this world now.
ebay.com is an online marketplace everyone has heard of. Undoubtedly, a lot of my friends have already went through the process of buying their stuffs from ebay.com. But for me, I was reluctant to buy things online. "WTF? Is it safe? What happens if there's fraud?" That's my traditional thinking, alright? I don't even believe in things like internet banking since there are so many spams outside the cyber world right now.
However, my perceptions of all those negative elements have been slowly deleted by me. I'm seeing the functionality, the creativity and innovativeness of how internet make my life so wonderful. OK, I'm gonna tell you why, k?
Yes, nobody like queuing up! Especially when you see 20-30 people q up for the sake of payment!See? We even have to waste our time in order to pay to the firm. That includes post office, immigration office or maybe insurance company. You took like 30 minutes to wait for your number to be called, and it took like 3 minutes for them to process and say sayonara to you and hoping that you inject more money in future. Ridiculous.
As mentioned, you don't have to queue. All you do is, sit in front of your laptop like how you are doing now reading my blog and go to their website to make payment. You actually save a looOOOt of time by doing online payment. let's see what I've utilised:
1. Purchasing goods from ebay.com
2. Pay school fees online. (I see so many people queuing up to pay online.LOL.TIME for CHANGE and avoid seeing how they're happy to receive $9,000 per person they get from fees)
3. Renew my OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) online too. I was shocked to see 20 over people lining up and I end up paying online and received my new card few days later.
4. Online payment to your creditors ( in this case, that's my sister).
5. Online Student Visa/Working Visa
6. Textbookexchange.com.au : This is really a good website for students in Australia if you want to get a second hand book. Simply type the title of the book and they'll list out the seller's name, contact number and the condition of the book. And you simply choose the one that suit your budget and arrange for a meet up at city or uni to exchange between textbook and CASH.
So, what are you guys waiting for? Instead of running here and there to queue up, do things online now! :)
Signin' off now.

Keratosis Pilaris: A new info for you
For those of you who know me better, you realize that there are red bumps around my upper arms. Those red bumps have followed me for years, probably 6 years ago. I realize that those bumps were actually f*king irritating that I wished to burn those skin and God would let me grow a very nice and bump less skin.
Due to that, I couldn't really wear nice tops. Sigh. And that's really pathetic. So, last year, before I came back to Melbourne, I thought, " I should spend money and see the skin doctor"
For the first time, I went to Lim Skin Clinic and were charged for about RM130 and were given 3 bottles of cream and a soap. I used that for 1 month plus and I see no difference.
So, I gave another try and went to Tropika Clinic and were told this is Keratosis Pilaris (KP) and it's due to hormone. *But that doesn't mean I'm hormonal imbalance, alright?*
I was stunned when I was told that this could follow me till I reach the age 40s. WTF? I was also given Cetaphil Intensive Moisturizer to alleviate the stupid bumps. That cost me about RM80. Still not much effect. :(
I goggled myself and I found that many people actually got KP. Some even have it on buttocks and legs, and I got this on my upper arm. :(
Guess what I found?
KP Duty by Derma Doctor, a moisturizing theraphy for dry skin and exclusively for KP. I read the comments and were so ecstatic that,
"I FINALLY FOUND A TREATMENT!!!!!!!!!!"
BUT, BUT, BUT..
THIS IS ONLY SOLD IN US..
GosH!!! And there's no shipment from US to Australia. HOWWW? HOWWW??
Someone please help me!!!!
How possible can I get that?

Another saturday
Hello, everyone!!
Isn't it good to see Gracious back on track--->blogging?
It's been exactly fourteen days since I came back here in Melbourne. The best thing is, the weather was good when I reached here. It was cooling like the day I left Melbourne. Sometimes, I felt that I did not even leave Melbourne back to Malaysia. 3 months holiday were gone just like that. *blinks* ahh I miss home now..
It's raining outside now and the whole city looks so gloomy now. I woke up at 9.15am and I thought, "Should I go and continue my dreamland now?"
Let's get back to reality now!
Well, facing the beginning of the semester is not really my cup of tea. Most time, I see new faces and I thought to myself, "That's when my friend from previous semester ends and new friends from this semester comes". I meant some friends, ok? A friend of mine told me that it's good to extend the friendship here, but in my perspective, I prefer little friends but with long term relationship. I don't want hi bye friend anyway.. Well, that's just my opinion. Why wanna care right?
I'm more than ecstatic that I'm having fun with friends I know this semester. At least, it's not the worst compared to what had happen to me in my first semester. You should know what happened if you are my close friends. *winks*
Well, my classes are pretty organized too. 4 days of classes. Phew.
But, It's also the month where everything are in doubts.
Talking about my co op, I'm clueless. What am I gonna do in that company? Will I find a job here? Which company I'm going to work with? When can I find the job? How much I'm going to get at least to keep my stomach full? After all, my main point is to get a job here. Whether low or high pay, that doesn't matter to me anymore.
I went to RMIT Career Fair few days ago and I came back with disappointments. I was told by the representatives that they only want PR.
Sigh.
Anybody wants to adopt me? Please.....? :O

a new 'thing' in Victoria.
It was 9pm when this actually happened.
Well, that was real close to what happened in most movies.
I was laying on the floor watching 'Gods of Honour' with my sister when I felt 'something' actually moved me.
This lasted for few seconds and I told my sis, "Wey, stop moving, can or not..."
"You were the one moving!" she said.
So we sort of arguing who were the one moving first as she claimed to witness my legs moving ( That I didn't even knew it).
I even jokingly told her that it must be earthquake if it wasn't her to move the whole place. We sort of argued bout this and I even placed a cup of water on the floor.
As I stood up, I checked my MSN and guess what???
It's a real EARTHQUAKE!!!
Adrian messaged me and he felt that awkward earthquake! I went to heraldsun.com.au and there were already a shocking news up there.
I opened my eyes so big that I started panicked and all sorts of illusions came to me. Then, both my sis and I started ringing friends and family to see if they're ok.
A relative of mine replied, " I didn't feel it. Could it be a plane just passed by?"
Anonymous: "Could it be Godzilla????"
Anonymous: Must be Indonesia! ( but this is no valid. Indo is soooooo far away...)
AunAun must've felt funny and bewildered that earthquake happens in Melbourne..
