Childhood dream no. 4756190= Fulfilled
Friday, June 23, 2006 You know when you are young, say, like 5-9 years old, kids that age often like to dream, it's as if dreaming is like part of their life. I, without a doubt, belong to one of those dreamy naive little souls. Still remember those days, where i dont really have my own toys but leftover treassures from my brother and sister, and due to the age gap between me and my siblings i wasnt really welcome when they are having their own fun with their more matured childplay. Therefore, out of desperation and maybe a slight blessing of creativity, both of my hands became my proxy superheroes... One thing good about pure imagination is that, u can perceive anything and everything and a small pair of hands of mine will turned out to be the best looking superman and batman's toy. Set aside those things, i used to dream alot, a whole lot more than now... I have alot of weird childhood dreams, alot of unrealistic ones and some are reachable... Ever since i started my path along the human psychology and mind, i begin to look inward more and realize that some of those little dreams could really be something that i wanna do, and would really be something that i will be so proud of if i've done it, so.. i decided (around 18-19 years old) to try my best and fulfill each and every tangible childhood dreams i use to had that i can still remember. For the past 2-3 years, i've completed some of those dreams, such as dressed up like a mafia for some occasion (my prom), snowboarding, picked up judo, started my weapon collection, became someone that's physically abnormal (i meant my blackhole-tummy and super high metabolism rate), jumped down from second storey (sorry, mom n dad, but i wasn't drunk, high, drugged or any sort, just wanted to try it out), and now.. finally, getting my hair braided.. FiNALLY!!!  Predator in the house!! Rear view  oh.. my hair arent that long, 30-40% of what u see are extensions.. Aerial View  Seriously, it looks like shoelaces from up close. 19th of June, 2006, a day that i shall try to remember at least.. it's that memorable day that i finally got my hair braided. After much of research, calculation and contemplation, i finally went ahead and did it!!! Many people thought that i had this thought of getting my hair braided from the image of Bob Marley.. but actually.. the thing that inspired me for this was the show Predator. (Notice, my hairstyle is exactly like that alien-predator) For anyone who's curious about the entire process, as in, what exactly is this, how exactly they do it? how do u feel? etc, i shall put down all those in here.. step by step.. First up, there are alot of different types of braiding, and this one in particular is what u called a single-plant braiding. It's different from cornrolls, double witted, micro-style, and etc. The whole idea of single plant, is to 1) pick up a strand of ur original hair (say 5 inches), 2) pick up a strand of hair extension (with the color u desire of course) with the length of 2.5x longer than that of 1), then 3) skillfully use the strand of extensions to 'wrap' up ur original strand of hair (it works like how u bandage a finger, starting from the first joint), 4) braid it and pull it tightly once in awhile, while braiding (it was freaking painful), 5) use a lighter or a burner to burn the end of the strand, and use a pair of scissors to trim the ends, 6) final touch by trimming the baby hairs ontop and side of ur scalp. It might sounds simple, but it was one hell of a long procedure, it took the hairdresser a good old 8 hours and 7 minutes to finish a head with that length.. and now the question here, "is it painful?", oh HELL YEAH.. it's like having a good old 8 hrs and 7 mins of external head seizures.. everytime when Mary (the hairdresser from Cameroon) uses her strong fingers to pick up a strand of hairs of mine and tie a knot with the extensions, i felt like being phlunge by a dagger.. it was hell for the first 2-3 hrs.. but after that.. say what? Anyway, it might be as painful as hell and so on.. but, at least i think it's really cool.. especially for an attention seeker like me (i would considered myself as mild in that case), and yeah, a completion of a childhood dream. leaving skool f-r3d at 9:42 PM 1 pokies {WTFPWNKTHXBYE} |
