back and safe;

(Edited.)

Oh, yes, free hugs? ;)

Truth is, my laptop fell into the ocean (don't ask me how! Use your imagination!) while I was flying across the South China Sea on the way to Taiwan and it fell so deep I had to send out my rescue team out there to help me look for it, submarines and all things high-tech to help me detect it. At long last, my baby was back in my arms. So yes, that pretty much explains why I've been away from the bloggersphere for almost two weeks.

Bullshit. Trust me to come up with this crap in less than a minute. I surprise myself all the time.

I'm back from my Taiwan trip weeks ago, prom passed, Genting trip went and back, and now I'm safely back in JB feeling very homey and have been staying in the house 24/7, except for the occasional meal out. There's a Topshop sale going on and I'm not even motivated a tiny bit by it to go out. Feeling pretty lazy, see? And the pollution here is horrible, I don't wanna get my pores clogged with dust and and... whatever clogs up my pores. Haha, so princessy, complaining.

My godma from Melaka came to JB, and has been staying with us for almost a week! It's always so nice to have a guest at home 'cuz my grandma will always cook a whole variety of food to impress him/her/them, and we get to enjoy too! I'm not being bias, but I honestly think my grandma is really really good cook. She's the competitive type, once you say her dish is even a tad on the negative side, she'll correct it until it's alright the next time. She does have a weakness of course. She gets annoyed if you criticize (although constructively) her food. Haha.


Wait, I was talking about my godma. So yes. I love it when she comes! Apart from good company, I get driving lessons! This is probably really embarrassing. I got my license last year, but lack of practice for a few months left me feeling like a newbie again. Don't worry though, I'm getting the hang of it after hours of practicing with my godma's help. Not that it means I won't have to go "training" under a real instructor again next week. My dad insisted. Ugh. Sien.


Edit: I won't have to go for professional lessons no more! :D


This post is getting boring again.

Bye.

adieu;

Yesterday, was supposed to be my first weekly post on "FRESH FINDS FRIDAY" where I feat-
Wait, what "FRESH FINDS FRIDAY"?
I haven't got much ideas what to post yet, so yes it's a bad idea to start with, and so yes, screw this shit.


By the time you  read this , I'm already/going to have the time of my life in Taiwan with my friends! *Screams! Shouts! Screams! Shouts!*

YES, HEHEHE. SO, SUE ME ;P

 ANYWHOOOOOO,  If I'm not mistaken, this it the very first time I'm going out of the country (PLEASE, shut up about Singapore being a different country, although it is. This probably doesn't make sense, but to us living at JB, Singapore is so near, it doesn't count. More on this next time) without my parents, and saying I'm excited is the understatement of the year. Going shopping later, and eating, oh yes food come to me me me! AHHHHHHHHHHH :D

Be back in a few days! Stay tuned!
xx

PS: Wish my boyf and two other buddies were here. :/ You know who you are!

Yawns;

Hi, all!

Presenting, the charming me.
*roll eyes*

So, a little update! Here to announce that I'm actually a wee bit  bored out of my mind; and that's crazy because one week of sweet and long-awaited freedom has not passed, and here I am, complaining already. I could barely comprehend how my life ahead will be for the next 6 months or so, with nothing worrying (academically speaking) on my plate and a full load of time to idle. Oh, the joy!


Except I'm not feeling it much now. I want to do something. I can't camp out in front of the laptop every single day with a chunk of fattening Cadbury milk chocolate by the side (like right this instant)! I had a lot in mind while doing revision for my upcoming exams, mentally making lists and lists of things to do during my break, to try, to experiment, to pass time; but I realise a mistake now, and that is I only mentally noted them down. So naturally, I didn't remember much of it after 5 minutes back into my revision. Now, before I go on, I think you should know beforehand I've a memory of a sieve.


Especially when it comes to lists. Yes, see? I have a valid reason whenever I don't stick to them.


I vaguely remember the things I really wanted to do though. Go shopping. Catch up with close buddies. Go celebrate post-finals. Even the mammoth task of tidying/cleaning up my room; ALL of which I have already done. What else, what else. I even watched videos on cooking to pass time! This from a girl who can't cook for shit to save her life.

*random insert of a photo featuring me posing sexily on Ana's lap*
ANA: Yep, this girl right here.
*Jesus. What the hell was I wrong with me?*

(continue)
OK, to be fair, I wasn't given the chance to cook! My grandmom finds me a hassle in the kitchen even when I really am indeed trying to help. Uneven chopping of garlic/onions/chilli/etc is a waste of time, apparently. So usually within 10 minutes, I'll get shooshed out of the kitchen. Poor me. I'll blame my grandmom if her great-grandchildren starve because their mommy (me) doesn't know how to boil an egg.


AHA! Just kidding. I'm not that horrible. Boiling eggs is fine. I do a plentiful good job at it. I think.
But I'm ready to learn! I don't care, I'm gonna bribe my granny to teach me.
How else am I gonna survive overseas if I can't cook? Take outs/microwaved food everyday? No thanks.

ps: the photos above have absolutely no relations with the post, not entirely. Just for fun, you know. Because I'm lacking it. Oh mee gourd. I'm so bored.

Discover

Time is precious. Have you ever spent hours at a time in front of the computer, browsing the Internet, signing in Facebook, play a game, skype with some friends, but towards the end of the day, you don't remember doing anything "productive" at all? In fact, you felt you have wasted time. I don't know about you, but I used to find myself in that situation almost all the time. 9 out of 10 times, after I finally get off my laptop, the guilt comes.

Not so much anymore. I feel nowadays, when I'm online, what I do is I'll go "discover". I secretly (not so secret anymore, is it?) pride myself in this. Usually, I'm the person who looks for new food to eat in town, new boutiques, new websites, new photoshop tutorials, new blogs, new DIY crafts etc. You get my point. The few things I'm less interested in are gadgets and technology and perhaps movies, but what I  am interested in, more than compensate for my lack of it in certain fields in my opinion. Not to say I'm proud of it or anything.


So I'm thinking, maybe (a big maybe) I should do a weekly post on my new discoveries. It could be anything, I want it to be flexible, so that I don't feel too pressured to post something. Maybe, every Friday or so?  What should be in my first "FRESH FINDS FRIDAY" post? *thoughtful*
The reason simply being I want people to feel this:

ok, so stay tuned to see if I really end up wanting to do this project!
it's a big deal because this would need commitment.
xx

ps: In case I'm really signing up for this, can anyone come up with a better name than "Fresh Finds Friday" ? It sounds a bit tacky, but that's the best I could come up with at the moment. Any help? 

Purple Brown

Short photo update, in case you didn't see it on my Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Heh.

I was more than surprised to see this colour. I didn't expect it'll be so bright under the sunlight! It's better than expected and its my favourite colour so far! Coincidentally, this hair matches the colour of my CK spectacle frame and my new sunnies! Double the love. I don't think I'll ever go back to light brown again. 

I can even pull off a punkish look with this hair, HI ;)

Shopping trip;

Post on my recent splurge. I hope I don't come off as show-off or whatnot. Just pretty happy with the purchases and I'm here to share it with you guys  ♥  I hope you guys share the same love as me for these darlings below!

1. Denim Zip Bralet
2. Crop Tee
3.Red 50s' Classic Sunglasses

TOPSHOP. My recent fashion fad: Cropped tees and bralets. How can anyone not love them? They fall in the right place just above your waist. I think it's one of my favourite new trend since the time when collars with metal tips were everyone's must-haves. I'm not certain whether they still are in trend, but I need to have them (tops with metal tips) in my closet soon.

DIVA. I also bought something from Sunway Pyramid's DIVA the other day, but I can't seem to find it on their webpage, so yeah, I can't make a collage out of it, unfortunately. It was a really pretty teal-coloured feather earrings, and the best part is I bought it during their sale! From RM36, to only RM15! How awesome is that? They were having this "BUY TWO FOR 30" promotion, and if it wasn't for Mao (she bought the second accessory), I wouldn't have gotten the darlings at such great price! ♥ 

1 & 2. Bershka tulle back bandeaus 

BERSHKA. I absolutely adore the bandeau in neon pink. Perfect to wear it under those sleeveless loose jersey tops. I bought them in both black and pink though, because I can't decide which I like better. Haha. Besides, both  are rather easy to match with my clothes, so its not like I'm wasting or anything *defensive* ;)

1. Round Sunglasses

2.Tunic with Cut Out Side  

ASOS. I've started online shopping with my mum's credit card a few years back, but then I stopped right away after the first two experiences because some suspicious transactions were made after my purchase. Started again this year with my own card, not credit but debit. I personally think it's safer, but I don't know for sure. Anw, couldn't resist these babys , and my heart told me to get them. So, I did.

Now all I'm waiting for is for them to safely arrive at my doorsteps on/before 11th June. I sincerely hope nothing goes wrong with the delivery. Not enough trust in Malaysia's post system. : /

updates

You know how few weeks ago, I said I'll blog more once I'm a "free bird"? I realize I have a problem. Because once finals were really over, I'd been going out so constantly, the only time I'm home is when I want to sleep. The next morning would be packed with plans and outings again. The next day would be the same.

At least that's how it'd been these few days. Maybe things will be another story next week around, when all me and few of my buddies have, is each other. Not that I'm complaining. I rather this for some time, before I go take up a part time job once I head back to JB. I need the break!

Updates on the last three days:


1.Dyed my hair.
 Yes,really, again.This time by my dear MAO. In two years, I've dyed it a total of 4 times. What a surprise my hair is all dull and dried out. Anyway, I felt I really did step out of my comfort zone this time. Purplish Brown. Ha! I was kidding about the comfort zone part, I'll always stick to some sort of brown. I would never wander too much away from "safe" tones.  Blond or green or flaring red or something crazy just isn't me. I'm boring like that ;)

2.BBQ with college mateys.

I regret to say this...but I wasn't really buddies with my college friends until the end of the last semester. We're not BFFS right now, but at least it was better. I felt it was my fault that we never got to know each other very well; me and Natalie had mainly kept to ourselves most of the time because we weren't all that fantastic mingling with new crowds.

Things turned a little different this year though. I really believe it's 'cuz of Twitter. Suddenly, everyone in the class has an account. From there, we progressed. The first outing for me with my college mates was to IKEA. Meatballs/Apple Crumble/Cheesecake/Chicken Wings/Sausages any one? That day, I really did finally feel I'm part of the class. :)

As I was saying, BBQ. Possibly the last class gathering... Here goes a photo:

BBQ gathering at MY PLACE APARTMENT.

3.Karaoke Session
Went singing with some of the buddies right after their exams were over (we end on different days), and had a great time! Picked few songs we have never heard in a super long time like "HOLLABACK GIRL- Gwen Stefani" and "FERGALICIOUS- Fergie" . Boy, wasn't that fun! I bet the boyf was rolling his eyes all the while at the back when we were having a good time belting out those songs. He can't take songs like that because he's born in the wrong age. The music he listens to, you'll think he came out of the womb the same time as my parents. Shakes head.

4.Went shopping
Multiple times. You would have thought I'm no longer going Taiwan. You know how in Taiwan, most of the clothes (really nice ones too!) are rather cheap? Really, I mean I've never bought pretty clothings at a lower price anywhere.  Sure, qualities aren't assured, and in most shops, you can't try them on. But since I'm a "Free-sized", its pretty worth it for me, and I really don't mind much about the quality because I get bored of certain style pretty quickly, so I'll keep replacing them with new ones.

As I was saying, shopping. Bought RM250 worth of clothes in just three days. Yikes. I'll show you guys the stuff in another post.

5.Packed my belongings
Yes, I've packed almost all my stuff into the cardboxes. Today is 1st of June. I'm only moving out on the 23rd. Almost a month earlier. Haha. Somehow, I'm really hyped about moving out from my room, and I genuinely like packing for some reason. Some of my friends like YY and Natalie didn't get it. Nat is even worse, she's going back tomorrow, but she managed to procrastinate and just started really packing just now. I don't know how she does it! Gee.


OK. Long enough to be a uber boring post already.
Bye.
