HELLO BABEH!
First of all, congratulations everyone for surviving the 2012 apocalypse, I would like to wish everyone Happy New Year as wellll! And now its 6 months countdown to good food.
Hehe, this post is inspired by kaihuiiiiiii and her posts for the past few years. xx things I did in 20xx. But thinking that it wouldnt be possible for me to post too many things as i grow older. I've decided to stick with 10 things first. Hehe, its sort of a first time I'm doing this sort of thing (usually I dont get in the mood), but since 2012 is a year of firsts for me, I've decided to do this for the first time! Be excited please. :P
Well, I dont update that frequent because I'm kinda busy with work for the past week, its either that or i've been too occupied with my mind until I couldn't find things to blog about.
ANYWAY, I should cut the crap and lets get started! Well, I'll try to sort it out in an ascending order, it depends on how well my memory is.
1.
I MISSED CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Never in my life I've missed chinese new year before. UNTIL 2012. Thanks edexcel for placing our exams RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF CNY. :( I missed the angpau taking, steamboat, FESTIVE COOKIES, CNY FOOD, the firework playing, PLAYING MAHJONG and sho much moreeeeeeee. I didnt even get to go back to Taiping! my part kampung! I actually spent alot of my time there when I was really young. And seeing how i'm going to miss chinese new year again this year, it is sad indeed. Sigh, altho I could drive my mom still stayed behind to fetch me around and make sure I dont skip meals. Well, it was a first for me to stay back in KL for chinese new year, THE ROADS WERE SO EMPTY. Unlike usual days where theres always traffic even when its the weekend, the roads were clearrrr and smooooooth. Its a traffic condition that I would LOVE to drive on. CAN STEP ONTO THE PEDAL AND GO VROOOOOM. Oh boy I'm making myself missing my baby. Well, one of my math papers, C3, fell right on the first day of chinese new year. Instead of the usual tradition of staying up very late on the eve of chinses new year, I slept very early. Ohwell, it was indeed one year ago, details might be slightly blurrer than preferred. :P
2.
Singapore trip!
Teehee, right after the exams we went to singapore! That was my third trip to universal studio. :O
._. Sudden crave for the icecream in coloured bread in singapore. Haha even so, the trip was fun! Universal studios singapore is just sho lively and fun! BUT THEN HOR, Its damn hot lor. I've rethinkied the whole thing through, its either because that singapore is near the equator OR because I'm there thats why its sho exceptionally hot. :P Apart from that, we've gone on lots of roller coasters! Luckily the crowd wasn't too big. Teehee.
3.
I Survived A-Levels.
You know what, all the bullshit about A-levels life is harder than uni life is plain crap. It has been only 3 months and I feel like im walking into a pathway of darkness already. Before I get carried away, I have to say, I sort of missed the good old times. Hehe, especially the breakfast gang, where we would all go to hp tower and eat half boiled eggs, with milo or tehtarik. Occasionally skipping lectures just because. Rushing up math homework because I'm too cheapskate to pay the fine. Battling with the clock everyday while driving just to get a better parking spot. Nawwwwwww, I remember there used to be 6 spots where no one could double park meh. Those were the days :')
4.
Went to my first prom!
Well, I didnt attend my high school prom because, I went to egypt. :P Welllllll, I couldn't say everything went well that day, I woke up terribly late and I had no time to deal with hair and stuff. At that point of time I still couldn't do nice up-dos. :P I think I woke up at 3pm that day, thanks to celebrating my last a level paper with a whole night of games and some movies. :P Well, everyone looks awesomeeeeeeeee. I didnt know people in our class know how to dress up one lor, besides a fair few who actually took the time to dress up well and look pretty in class. The rest, including people like me, just couldn't be bothered. Saw lots of people I know that day, including my other friends that weren't in that class. AND THERE WERE SHO MANY PRETTY PEOPLE IN PRETTY DRESSES. :3 Heh.
5.
Went to MTV world stage!
It was my first concert! Well, mainly because I never wanted to spend sho much money on things like that, AND the timing wasn't always right. For this I really have to thank kk for getting us x-zone tickets for a okayish price. The thing I couldn't believe is I actually watched Justin Bieber as part of my first concert. And I probably know less than half the songs he sang. KARA WAS THE BEST :3 well, atleast i know most of the songs they sang lar. We actually went there early and waited under the hot sun for 4 whole hours, the lengths we go to get a good seat. :P
6.
Came to the uk
I guess this is the most major event in my entire life. Its not everyday you go away from home to a foreign place. Its the first time I'm here in england and I'm stuck here until, well june i hope. When I was little I used to dream and dream coming to the uk to study, however in these dreams I always seem to neglect the fact that I will be living alone. And living alone sort of comes in a package, self cooking, self cleaning, self laundry, self organizing things, self transport. I've come to realise, as long as you want something done, you'll have to do it yourself. If I want to go out, I'll have to get my butt out in the cold and walk to that place. Unlike a few months ago where I could just drive there or ask my dad to drop me off. Its different here, life is different. Well, I've been able to make new friends, of course. I wish I could go out and talk more to people not from Malaysia, but, im hopelessly shy. I'm not even kidding. -_- Sigh. Well, I hope the new semester will bring out the bravery from beneath my heart, and underneath the thousands and thousands of layers of fat. :P
Well, apart from that, I'm adapting fairly well towards the lifestyle here. The inner cheapskate in me just seem to gain sho much light, its coming out of the small little box. :P I'm also better with dealing the cold now. Anything above 0 is okay, as long as it stays positive I'll survive. And when its sunny I'll be sho happy. :3
7.
Picked up photography, and learnt abit of photoshop!
Well, showing pictures will always seem to be a better idea than typing in situations like this.
i loveeeeee this pic.
The entrance to the lourve museum
TeeHee, I believe I've posted a little something about photoshop a few posts ago, so i wont elaborate much. Its a recap afterall. :P
8.
Spent my birthday in the uk!
I'm really lucky to have lovely friends who took the trouble to meet up and celebrate my birthday with me. :3 I even got to try 2 different restaurants in one day! Thats a luxury as a student in the uk. I went to gbk for lunch with my course mates. And met up with my isaac zhiyan popo wernyi + wenying in jamies and olivers for dinner! I EVEN GOT MACAROOOOOOOOOOOONS. Damn they taste sho good, especially the caramel one. :P The food there was greattt! Teehee, It was my first atas meal in the uk! :P
9.
Went clubbing for the 1st time.
In my whole 19 years of life, I've never been to a club before. Yes, I live in a deep hole, away from all the influences and noises. Katak bawah tempurung. ._. Anyway, I've decided to go to one, atleast one! to see what its like. Well, it was an eye opening experience for me. Well, playing in oxford st at 3am is fun i would say. Apart from that, the crowd and the drunk people were, less appealing. Especially when they appear out of nowhere to attack you. LOL. LIKE POKEMON. HAHA. :P The music was insanely loud until the person beside me became inaudible. And I WALKED about 3 Kilometers back home, IN HIGH HEELS. :') I'm sho proud of myself for that. Heh, nevertheless, it was fun with great company! :D
10.
Spent Christmas in Paris!
As you can see, some of the pictures from above are from paris! The city of lights, the city of love. Paris is beautiful indeed. The trip was better than awesome. It has been awhile since I've last been to a trip with my family, or rather as the french would say, mon famile. Well, we went to most of the places we wanted to go, AND I EVEN WENT UP TO THE TOP OF EIFFEL TOWER! That moment up there was spectacular, definitely a must see. At night there was Christmas Market in Champs-Elysees, THE WAFFLES WERE DAMN NICE. LOL. shuper nice, makes every other waffle i've tasted like mehhhhhhhhhhh. However, the metro does stink like pee when theres not alot of people and the wind blows. ugh, disgusting. And unlike London, there are quite alot of things open in Paris on Christmas day! there was even another christmas market near the sacred cathedral in Anver i think. :O Ooooooh and I had turkey for christmas dinner! And there was mussels in wine and escargot and french onion soup. yum. :D
Well, After writing everything i realise that 10 is not enough. But It will have to do, for 2012. It absolutely doesn't mean that I've only got 10 things done this year, Well, obviously I've done alot more but these are the ones worth writing about. Well, as you can probably see, 2012 is a year of firsts for me, its nice to experience new things and widen up my horizons at the same time!
Ohhhhhhhh, I went to the new year celebration in london yesterday and the crowd was insaaaaaaaaaane. 2 hours before midnight and the main viewing areas are closed already. :( NEXT YEAR MUST GO EARLIER TO BOOK SPACE! But the fireworks was awesome lar. :D
Time do fly, yesterday a friend reminded that its 2013 now, Theres a big difference between our age this year and our age last year. :( SAD LO.
ohwell, I have loads of studies to do because i was away for almost 2 weeks. :( hopefully i get things done in time! Till then!
