Blog Amateur's Frustration........
ARGH!!! was kinda into blogspot after aloy gave me some tips(well... kinda very basic stuff) on how to customize my blogspot. Initially found some success in adding links using html code.(yaryar, laugh all u wan! i'm an amateur ok!!)
But the more i was involved, the more i craved. I wanted much more! Esp when my blogspot is so dull now.....
Comments from Edison,
"Your fonts not easy on the eye"
"The links column is weird. Its not a column by itself."
"Why dun u juz change to LiveJournal??"
Demoralised man. But i tried again. Went to read up on the codes. tried to split the links column so that there were 2 seperate columns instead of the post column floating over.... but cannot..... I could change the template... but i'm stubborn la.... & i realised the comments feature is not built-in for Blogspot.... then how?? Livejournal?? piangs.....
& so i tried LiveJournal.... but equally frustrating, coz the templates they have are so limited! & also the fact that Blogspot actually does sound much cooler than LiveJournal rite??(CHEAP THRILL!!!) aiya.... damn xianz man.... howhow???
aiya.... juz gonna rest 1st.... if really gonna change to LJ, i'll repost my stuff from Blogspot lor....
2day somemore going out in the afternoon to shop.... haha, wanna satisfy my shopping craving. & actually still contemplating on whether i should go change my hair color. That stupid saloon auntie at Far East still have the cheek to charge me if i wanna change it.... she's responsible for the bright ahbeng color i have now!!! sighs... actually i noe its my problem at the end of the day, serves me right to allow her to chose the color.... wat2do... gotta learn from this kinda cockup lor... i see the color oso sad... hmmm... kk, think i better tell the story of my mishap, otherwise u all dunno wat i'm toking about...
~~~~One fine Friday, 20th Feb '04~~~~
I had a busy morning... dental appt 2gether with my mom. Drove her to see some Mayers warehouse sale at Bedok/Changi. Spent at least 1 hr there, looking at ovens, fridge, washing machines, dryers etcetc..... fast fwd to afternoon====>>
Met up with Steph & Peijin at orchard MRT... Actually no mood to do hair... coz so tired after waking up early... & i was more still undecided on the color i want..... after much deliberation, we (or rather, they, since i still dunno wat i wan) decided to go take a look at this saloon in FarEast where PJ did her hair. I tot her streaks were nice la... some dark blonde or brown... When i was there, still din noe wat i wan, n was somehow the boss convinced me that she would do cheaper, since my hair was as long as a gir's.... but still quite long la... like slightly shorter than ekin cheng's ganster hair.... the boss/auntie flipped thru some mags n show me various styles.... dunno y still cant decide... in the end she say she chose the color... n i saw this style which look quite good, n still allowed me to maintain my length.... the moment she cut finish, i knew it was a goner! it was shorter than wat i asked for!!! i already told her so many times in btwn that i wanna keep it long... n she onli left the sides long!! bloody hell!!! i always hate stylist who wanna do it their way... so inflexible!!
she asked me for the color... i said the effect i wanted wasnt juz plain streaks, but whereby the 2colors were more natural, the streaks blend in well, not juz plain straight lines... this is the onli thing she achieved... think she cant comprehend english... seriously man.... coz i asked for coolers that werent too bright, cooler shades, & so she chose copper base n light brown... i was thinking, lightbrown quite ok..... guess wat... the light brown looked more like bright gold!! the ahbeng type!!! wahlau!! exactly the type of color ahbengs went for when dying juz caught on in s'pore... it looked juz nice.. but when i left, realised normal lighting made it look so beng! onli warm-white lighting made the color pleasant to the eye.... fashion disaster eh!!
& her english confirm got problem! she was asking for my name, n couldnt even pronounce it! she kept going "agent? agent? those sell house n insurance 1 huh!?" bloody cockanadan!!! its ADRIAN! aa-der-ree-ern! no wonder she gave me a bright chaoahbeng color when i wanted something else!
& the whole day i was so xianz... go out oso not really in the mood, went ktv at nite oso feel so down....self conscious about my new ahbeng look! something that i've nv been, nv wanted to be, always hated! now i've ended up looking juz like 1! the place shouldnt be called "HairStudio Plus" lor.... its "BengStudio Plus!!".......
~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~
oh well, actually dun really bear so much hatred la.... juz letting out some steam.... if i still cant get used to the color, i'll probably go back to good old Mr Ong to color it... another $30 onli.... better than the $50 the auntie wanna charge for correcting her old ahlian taste....... i'll post my pic after i learn how to upload it(or maybe after i can accept the hopelessness that wats done is done..?)
juz gotta learn from this lor..... advise to all those who are gonna color their hair:
Go to some1 u can trust!
Dun trust the stylist if he/she looks beng or lian(unless of course u wanna go for that look)
and like i always say, its nv any1s fault... u made a decision, u gotta bear the consequences watsoeva.
But the more i was involved, the more i craved. I wanted much more! Esp when my blogspot is so dull now.....
