G-L-A-M-O-U-R

What a hot day today! The sun’s so bright that I have to spend the day looking like this.

Yup, even indoor. In the classroom. In the laboratory.

Haha.

The terrible truth is that I am yet again the luckiest recipient of the eye infection. At least only one eye this time.

I went to the doctor yesterday. The 24 hours Donggongon Clinic. I was wearing my sunnies while waiting for my turn. I kept on getting glances. (Note to self: In the event that I ever become famous, this is certainly not the right way to stay anonymous.) When I showed my swollen eye to the good doctor, he took the torchlight, had a look-see at it. And then he laughed. He actually laughed! The dialogue went something like this:

“Bah, nokuro ko?” He asked.

I took off my beautiful pair of sunnies. “Intaii po gia mato ku. Nokuro maiti tu irad diti?”

“Sira po irad no?” While taking his torchlight.

“Di konihab po.”

He took one look. One look. “Kotuton ko bo gia tii! Haha”

“Hah, kotut? Oluor pondoh diti.”

“Depends on the site of infection boh gia” He gets a little-wittle technical now.

“Jadi haro katu gia mc untuk do kotuton?”

“Bah, onuan ku dika mc untuk baino.”

“Suab? Osonong no gia ti suab?” Since I’m amusing him so much, I decided to take full advantage and asked for 2 days of sick leave.

“Hahaha.. It’s not infectious. Actually, today you can even go to work. No problem.”

“But I’m teaching a bunch of teenagers!” Still trying my best to persuade him.

“Hahaha. You can explain to them about eye infection.”

Pffft.

I made him laugh early in the morning and he only gave one day of sick leave.

So, I end up looking glamorous all day long today. Luckily it IS a sunny day.

*In the event that you are wondering about the language, it is Dusun. But I am no good at writing it down ^_^;

Red eyed alien



At the peak of the red eyes. It certainly get worse before it gets better. The lids were so puffy and reddish. At this stage my hubby nicknamed me alien.
Of course, I wasn't smiling like this when it happened.

Hah, who's the alien now?

Can you see my brand new hairs? Short hairs really stand straight without the help of any gel.

School holiday

Pffft.

Almost three weeks and I'm still not feeling it. What a way to start the holiday this year. A week before the break is due, poor El got the pinky eye/red eye/conjunctivitis-call it whatever you want, it IS very contagious. So, daycare is a no no (eventhough, I suspect El got it from there).

I took one day off and then had to bring El to school for two days while waiting for my mom to come over. And guess what? By Sunday, yours truly starts to have reddish eyes. And on Monday I start the first day of school breaks with watery, red eyes. To make matter worse, Bono left eye got infected too. But I was still thankful that both El and Bono had the red eye on one side only. And it took me two fricking weeks to clear off the infection! Even now, my eyes is still pinkish.

So, I was hoping to go for some shopping (cause all the money in the bank are burning a hole) and may be visit the Logos ship by this week. What do you know, hubby finally succumb to the red eyes since Saturday. Aaargh! (I told him, it was bad karma to call me alien) So this evening, we are going home to his kg to stop the cycle. But hopefully the in-laws won't get infected lah. Beside hubby is like a bear with a thorn in his paw.

Now, I better start packing. And I was so looking forward to paint my nails with the gradient design. Siap google the tutorials lagi. @_@

Happy holiday everyone! Won't be able access the internet until we return to KK.

No Poo

Poo as in shampoo.

I've been living without shampoo for one week now. I know it kinda sounds gross. Probably now you are imagining me looking like someone who doesn't bath much. I promise you, my hair looks fine. And I certainly don't smell bad-dear hubby sniffs them for me ^_*

Recently, I joined Natural Parenting group in Facebook. Someone mention about this thingy and I was intrigued. So I googled some more. It was kind of scary reading the dangerous stuff in a shampoo.

Someone mention about the need of shampoo-to cleanse the dirt and oil from our hair. Conditioner? We use it to moisturise our hair after that. So every day we repeat this step-shampoo, rinse, conditioned, rinse. Well, I washed my hair everyday.

But since giving birth I'm experiencing the all too familiar hair loss. Now I have spikes of baby hair on my head. So I was thinking that maybe I can give these new batch of hair a more natural start. Nothing to lose, really. If it fail I can always go back to my shampooing way.

There are different methods of cleansing your hair without relying on shampoo.

  1. Sodium bicarbonate with apple cider vinegar (ACV) as a conditioner.
  2. Soapnut liquid.
  3. Using water only.
  4. Oil cleansing method (OCM).
I've tried the OCM using virgin coconut oil (VCO). Eeww. It was so gross. Or maybe I did it wrong? The next morning, I took some soapnut and soaked it in hot water for 2 hours. Took the water and added half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Shake it and massage the solution into my scalp. Rinse and I felt better.

That was one week ago. After that I've been using water only to wash my hair. So far, I'm liking it because my cleansing ritual is much shorter now.

We'll see if I can manage it until the end of this year. Baby steps.

So, anyone want to go no poo?

So much to do, so little time

I surf the internet instead.

It's PMR, other students on a break. Weeks ago I planned to complete all the reports, papers, worksheets, kad 001 and 5 S this week. Its the second day of PMR and so far I've only manage to prepare the exam paper. Sent it to bilik cetak and now waiting for the babu (aunty) to print it. But I have to say I did most of the diagrams using Paint *clap clap*. Usually I just scan but since I'm spending the week warming up my chair, might as well do a better job. (*_*)

Some of the said diagrams. Feel free to copy but I have no idea what you are going to do with it.

1. Haber process


2. Sublimation of iodine


3. Crossing over during meiosis


4. Addition of coloured lights

Duh. These days, my work life is so exciting *roll eyes*

Maybe I'll try to draw something nice like Chegu C. One of this day. But I really have to stop this blog hopping activity. Should be completing that Kad 001 while waiting for my paper.
