METRO CRaZy SALE~!


Metro Tampines Closing Sale is on!!!

50% discount store wide...

Went there in the afternoon with my mum to "experience" the HOTTEST Sale of the Year.

And i really mean the hottest... Literally hottest... The crowd was never ending and the air-conditioning was not able to sustain the "coolness"... ="_"=



Look at the crowd... Scary...


Managed to buy the luggage at $39.90 (both).

Phew... That's my first reaction when i squeezed out of the place. Nevertheless, it's a good bargain. :)

Good Bye & Cya Soon...

22nd of June.

8pm. Reached home, feeling rather low. You said not to send u off at the airport but i wanted to.

9pm. Decided to write u a card. Went to Big Book Shop near my house with my dad and bought a good bye card just 5 min before it closes for the day.

10pm. TH came to pick me up. Was excited and anxious to see u.

10.30pm. You called. Oh NO! u went in and passed the immigration counter.

So near yet so far. it's really worse than not sending u off. Can only wave and see u through the glass panel... how ironic...

Now, it's endurance time.... Cya in 3 weeks! :)

SaMSunG K3 MP3 PLaYeR ReVieWed

Saw this gorgeous Samsung K3 mp3 player during one of my shopping spree. So decided to search for reviews and found some interesting recapitulation which i'm gonna share here...


Some pics of K3 to begin with...

K3 with speaker wallet



Bloody Mary colour
Mojito colour



Most of the reviews rated K3 as sleek and profound.


The only problem is the fingerprints left on the screen, which i think wouldn't be a prob since a wipe can solve it. It is as thin and sophisticated as nano. I personally like the blue LED light with the black K3. Looks really cool... It definitely can make an impact, not a big one but still, to ipod nano.


A video from youtube to show the features and usage of K3.

SicK - Telogen Effluvium

We read news everyday about disasters, diseases, diplomatics, illness, controversies, etc. However, the thought of all these happening to us seldom cross our minds. Not that i would've thought of... if this isn't true.

Telogen Effluvium. I'm diagnosed with this condition which is the name for temporary hair loss due to shedding after some shock to the body system.

In a normal healthy person's scalp, about 85% of the hair follicles are actively growing hair and 15% are resting. A hair follicle usually grows hair for 4 years then rests for 4 months. The old hair then falls out and a new hair begins to grow. When the hair rests, it changes into a club hair. When the new hair starts, it forms under the resting club hair and pushes it out.
Thus, it is normal to lose up to about 100 hairs a day on one's comb, brush, in the basin or on the pillow, as a result of the normal scalp hair cycle.
If there is some shock to the system, as many as 70% of the scalp hairs can be precipitated into a resting state, thus reversing the usual ratio.




The resting scalp hairs, now in the form of club hairs, remain firmly attached to the hair follicles at first. It is only about 2 months after the shock that the new hairs coming up through the scalp push out the "dead" club hairs and increased hair fall is noticed.

At first the fall of club hairs is profuse and a general thinning of the scalp hair may become evident but after several months a peak is reached and hair fall begins to lessen, gradually tapering back to normal over 6-9 months. As the hair fall tapers off the scalp thickens back up to normal, but recovery may be incomplete in some cases.

Because nail and hair growth are under the same influences, an arrest in hair growth is often mirrored in the nails by a groove across them coinciding with the time of the shock to the system. This is called a Beau's line. The time of the shock can be estimated from the fact that a finger nail takes 5 months to grow from the posterior nail fold to the free edge. So if the groove in the nail is half way down the nail then the shock must have been 2 1/2 months ago.


Beau's line on my thumb.


Among the common causes are high fevers, childbirth, severe infections, severe chronic illness, severe psychological stress, major surgery or illnesses, over or under active thyroid gland, crash diets with inadequate protein, and a variety of medications.

I had a very high fever of up to 39.2°C for 4 days during my Hall Production in March. Maybe this might be the cause of my condition now, or might it be due to psychological stress? Whatever the causes, it is still not gonna change the fact that I'm losing my hair! Juz like ppl who had undergone chemotherapy. Even though they will grow back after 6-9 months, I still can't image how I'd look like before my hair finally grows back, hopefully back to nothing less than normal. Meanwhile, a nice hat or head wear will do its job...
