"To help or no to help?", "How to help?", "What should I do now?", "Where should I go after this?", "What if I am conned instead?" ...

These are the questions that flood my head whenever I see road accidents and decided to drive pass them. Earlier when I was driving home, I saw a motorbike on the ground and the lady was slightly hurt but she was able to stand and there was no bleeding. My heartbeat was so fast as if I was the one who knocked her down or got knocked by someone else.

I wanted to help so so badly but others already stopped to help (or look, I'm not sure). I didn't know if I would be of help. I didn't know how to help. I didn't know if it was ok for me to stop my car at the side, I didn't know what to do when I get down. I hated myself. I was afraid. This isn't the first time I felt like this. To see someone in need and just drive away. I teared when I drove pass the lady just now and I really wish that I'd be more courageous next time. I realised that offering help takes not only kindness but bravery. I want to equip myself for situations like this so that I won't feel like a total crap the next time I see someone in need when they are involved in an accident. I pray today for someone experienced to just share with me what to do and what not to do when I decide to help the people and maybe when I have the info, I'd share here so that other people like me can also benefit from this. I know God heard my prayer and I am confident that one day, I will be able to help at least someone.

Thank you for reading!

Love,

For many years now I've been wanting to dip dye my hair. Pink, Blue, Purple, Red? I couldn't decide coz all of them look so super good. I never got the courage to do so but also because I've never wanted to spend a big sum of $$$ on the mane. Somehow, this year I felt I should do it because if I don't I'd be too old for it :D haha!

After few weeks of thinking, I've finally decided to cut and colour my hair. It was last Saturday after work, I went to Unique Essence (5 mins drive from my house). Until then I have not yet decided what colour to go with. I went there with 4 photos and let the hair stylist, Suki, pick. I never regretted since that decision was made. However, I'd like to share my experience that day. First, Suki cut my super long hair. I love the length and the shape! Then, her helper came to bleach the lower half of my hair. The bleaching process was one of the most torturing process ever! I sat for about 4 hours with very very minimal movement. My back was as stiff as a tree bark. I was in pain, still could not make any big movement to stretch. I tried to sleep but my position was uncomfortable to fall asleep in. When I finally see her coming to check my hair I was leaping in joy inside. So finally after the dread, the bottom half of my hair became dark yellow like this: 


The moment I saw my hair looking like that, I actually thought of backing out. I was scared. This was the most drastic thing I've ever done to my hair! And the texture was so so rough it felt like my barbie doll's tangled hair D: But of course, I let them carry on...
So the next step was to make my hair look like this:

Nice right? I was soooo excited for my hair to look like that minus the pretty curls. Haha! Who knew that the process of getting this beautiful colour means you have to go through this:

What a sacrifice... 
They sectioned my hair into 2 parts, the top layer was dyed in Ash Green and the lower part, Blue. And it resulted to this... You ready?

Oh, how nice! 
This was taken the day after when I was in church.

The torturing 7-8 hours at this time, is worth it! I wasn't supposed to wash my hair until 48 hours but being me, I washed it the day after. Like 24 hours after. I regret doing so coz the colour did come off a little. And to maintain the colour I cannot wash my hair daily, which is such a torture. I guess this will be my first and last time. Oh, let me also share what shampoo I have to use. It's Schwarzkopf's Color Freeze which cost RM30.00 per bottle: 


OK, so I am happy with the final product of my hair and I feel it looks really good now that the green colour is more obvious. It blends so well with the blue. And yes, I be honest. I feel chio and received so many compliments. The total cost was RM320. I am not sure if it was normal or over priced but I'm happy with this though I don't think I'd do it again mainly because I won't get to wash my hair daily. I hate oily looking hair ok? Ok, since I spent so much, let me post one more photo for your reading pleasure :P 



Thank you for reading!

Merry belated Christmas, everyone!

So this year's Christmas was somehow special for me because...

Family Time
Sean's mum organised a Christmas dinner and invited my parents over. In the end, my sister and grandpa came along. If you know my mum, she dislikes gatherings apart from family and finds it awkward to mingle with people whom she's not close with. But to my surprise, she agreed to come for the dinner and I have my sister to thank. My sister persuaded her to RSVP. I was praying to see a change in my parents and I take this as one. I was on top of the world knowing that my family and Sean's family would meet. And the night was sweet!

And here's the family Christmas dinner :) 

Spent time with my beloved grandma on Christmas Eve 


So glad that our hard work was paid off. Thanks, guys! 
Wishes Came True
This year, I never expected anything much in terms of receiving gifts. I thought, as the years go by people will tend to forget / don't bother buying gifts. Well, I was wrong. I received so much. I received some of the things that I needed to get but haven't got them myself  (coz it was pricey). I received a camera. A good one (I wished for it). In PINK. I also wanted to get myself an eyebrow pencil but haven't got the time to find one and I received one. Ahem... It's Shiseido! And because my eyeliner smears so much on my oily skin, I needed a eye primer... And I got it... it's from Urban Decay! And because I was super sick from end Nov until Christmas, my bff Serene gave me the most thoughtful gift that literally put a smile on my face when I unwrapped the gift. I also received other gifts from many people and I am very thankful for each of them. It's truly the most wonderful time of the year. I see God in everything and I thank Him for being so good to me.

Tadaaaa!! I still cannot believe I own this pretty thing. 

The Christmas Angel 
The idea of this campaign went so well! I'm so proud of my church! I thought of giving back to the community this Christmas, instead of  bringing gifts and exchanging with one another, I encouraged the church to bring canned food items or packed food items to gift to the community in CCF a month before. And it went so well. :') Thanks to those who helped me and made this possible.

"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:17-18

Truly the meaning of Christmas is that Christ is celebrated and glorified.

This photo was taken before the area was filled with the items.

Thank you for reading!

Love,
