I won some 1 for 1 hair voucher thingy so I decided to ask Glenna along with me so we could do our hair + catch up hehe. Haven't seen her in awhile, so glad we finally did meet :')

The hair thingy didn't go too well because for some reason when I called to book the appointment, the guy told me it's free... but when we went down to do it we had to pay. We paid for the price of 1 for the both of us but still :-( lesson learnt to always double check T.T

ah well, felt kinda shitty.. but hey time spent together was priceless ;-) HAHAHA

We spent a lot of time just catching up and talking, I rant to her like crazy as usual haha. I'm just so thankful for her because she is one of the few friends I have that I know I can turn to anytime :-) she knows I've got her back too hehehehe

Headed down to ion after, she had to leave early for dinner with her parents.

So we just walked around forever 21 and went to Kate Spade to check out cute wallets HAHAHA

She also accompanied me to do something I've contemplated for awhile now...

get my helix piercing hehe.

Okay to be very honest my threshold for piercings is generally very low. I would say it's probably because of the fact that my dad only allowed me to get my lobe piercings in sec 4, so I tend to be more sensitive towards piercings? idk hahaha.

I've always wanted a helix piercing but the thought of actually getting it always scared me HAHA. I don't even know how I finally had the courage to finally get it but I did it :-) I spent the night before reading up a lot about the pain level, the myths of piercing the helix, recovery period, aftercare etc.

say hi to helly the helix piercing ;)

I pierced my right helix! My right lobe piercing was left to close because it got infected :-( I repierced it already and now it's all good hehe. I pierced it at Xcraft where they used a gun... and yes I was a bit wary at first but I went with it anyway after reading up online. The risk of infection and all is the same if your piercer doesn't do it properly or is unhygienic, regardless of using a gun or needle. It was so funny because I asked the girl, "Do you have a helix piercing?" and she just lifted up her hair to show me her whole row of multiple helixes HAHA. I also asked her if she pierced for people and she said "yes, many times already :)" which left me feeling a lot more relieved hehe :-)

I think the pain is really bearable, the piercing itself didn't hurt but it remained sore for abit after. I felt that repiercing my right lobe was slightly more... shocking?? idek HAHA i think it was because the gun sound was a lot more louder (as it was nearer to my ear hole). Anyhow, I'm so glad I finally got it pierced and it's healing well :-)
