Hello There, 2010

This is it... my last post for 2009
Written 235 posts this year... which makes it 235 memorable things to remember
There have been ups and downs, no doubt about that
But it has been a good year nonetheless
I've got my first experience in the working field, albeit only for my internship
Together with my uni life and assignments
It has been an eye opener, it made me realise what I want to do in the future
I already have things planned out after I graduate, but to realize it or not I will only know next year
They are some of my newfound passion... and I hope I'll keep discovering new things to challenge myself
I've also welcomed my baby girl cousin, Crystal, who has been put under my mum's care while her parents are based in Singapore
Unfortunately, I also had to say farewell to her four-year-old brother who had also been with us since he was a baby, he's gone to join his mother in Singapore... gosh, I do not like that country
Also, my good friend who got married this year... I wish her happiness for the coming years
My other friends who have graduated recently, I'm happy for them... how does it feel?
I can't wait for my turn!
My friends who are currently studying like me... let's graduate with success!
I wish my family and friends the best of health, wealth and happiness in the coming year
May it bring many, many pleasant surprises~!!!

Measuring Up

I'm getting lazier to blog these days

I'm preoccupied with so much to do and yet nothing to do

I'm thinking of something new to do, something to challenge myself

I like writing, I like playing with words

I'm thinking maybe I should start writing my own fictions, instead of just always reading them

I want to, but I can't find the time

I even have a few story plots lined up

But I'm kinda worried that I won't be able to write that well, won't be able to put all the emotions into words

I'm really amazed by all the good writers out there who are able to touch hearts with their writings

I wanna be like that too, but will I ever measure up?

All I've ever written are spazz and rants and cynical stuffs

But then again, I'm reminded of the times when my school teachers used to compliment my writing and told me to write in to the newspapers... which I didn't had the guts to

Or when my friends said they were looking forward to the day I publish my own book

I didn't know what to say, I'm studying journalism but do I want to be an author?

I think it's time I stopped dreaming and start realizing it

Casino and Strawberries

I'm back... after being away for 2 days!
Went for a family outing to Genting Highlands
Was reluctant to go at first... I don't really like the place
It makes me sick... just thinking about it makes me sick
It always left me with unpleasant memories...
I just hate traveling up and down the hills and winding road
Not only does it make me dizzy and nauseous, but the smell of brakes, burnt rubber and fern is just really... ugh
And I dislike Genting too... damn place smells like cigarettes and smoke!
But I decided to go anyway because my whole family is going so if I don't go, I'll be left alone at home which means I'll have to cook for myself and I really don't want to sleep in an empty house
I followed mum into the casino, was kinda worried that they'll check my ID
I asked mum whether the legal age is 18 or 21?
Not that it mattered... I'm already 21 anyway, lol~
But I just had a feeling that they'll stop me at the checkpoint and request to see my ID coz I look amateur-ish
I mentioned to mum that this is my first time entering a casino and she was shocked, she thought she'd brought me in before
I said no, that was years ago in the Star Cruise
But the casino in Genting is really huge and amazing, I was in awe
Countless of tables and even more countless of slot machines, feels like I'm in an arcade or something when I saw those lol
I really like watching the card dealers and bankers, they have such slight hand movements
They look so fluid, it makes me imagine and laugh to think if they behave like that outside of work too... like interacting with people and friends with all those hand movements, hahaha!
Anyway, sometimes I'm more interested in the banker than the game lol
Some of them are really good looking, there was one guy especially
Bankers are usually quiet and put on a neutral face but this guy is always smiling and talking to the players
I just stood there and squinted my eyes, trying to read his name tag, lol!
Followed mum around, she taught me the rules of the game and how to predict a win
She said her game is Baccarat and it's actually quite fun
I'm just really shocked at the amount of money that players would bet on
My mum bets like RM100+ occasionally and even I think that's alot
But seeing other players bet by the thousands, I feel bad if they lost
It's like... that's as much as someone's monthly pay and you spend it all on one round of game?!
I could buy a new handphone and a laptop with that money! D:
Tsk tsk... I told myself that I would never be a gambler, never get hooked on gambling... never spend my hard-earned money like that
I would only do an honest job and earn honest money...
From what I saw, there is no point in gambling... because the moment you win, you get exhilirated thinking your luck is here so you keep betting, but the more you play the more you lose, but you keep betting because you wanna win back the money you lost, so you fork out more money to keep playing... and the moral of the story is?
Gambling is addicting and you should not let it get the better of you, do not try it unless you have good self-control and a clear conscience... but if you have it you wouldn't be gambling anyway, LOL~
Stopped by the newly established strawberry farm on the way back
We get to self-pick the strawberries but the strawberries were small and not even sweet, the ones in Cameron Highlands would be better
I like the strawberry flowers, I want to grow my own strawberry plant T__T
Going downhill is another problem, the smell of car brakes really makes me wanna throw up
So I breathed more using my mouth than my nose so I won't smell it
It makes me sick, I keep saying "I never wanna go to Genting again!"
But I still go anyway, repeating the same lines everytime like a broken record player D:

Avatar X'mas

Got home late after celebrating Christmas last night... reached home about 2 in the morning? lol
Was too tired and tipsy to blog about the day...
Went with Sue, Soo Yin, Wendy and Serena for the movie and met up with Ee Guat, Yee Peng, Sok Ling and her bf for dinner at Papa John's
It was pretty fun, watched Avatar in 3D but I was really annoyed that my 3D glasses was blurry so I wiped it and the more I wipe it, the more blurry it got!
And also the glasses kept sliding down my nose so I had to hold onto it T_T
But the movie was awesome, seriously... it's so beautiful and colourful!
The character design and everything, the creatures... they just built a new world by scratch... much props to them!
I even like the blue people and the jellyfish-like spirits and the plants that light up when touched
The movie was kinda sad though, when they found out that he wasn't one of them and people started dying T_T
But the funny thing was, a person seated behind us was snoring, like... how can you fall asleep during a movie like Avatar?!
Hung out till midnight to celebrate X'mas but Sunway Pyramid was packed with people, restaurants and clubs have doubled their prices
Decided to have a drink at Hot Piper, ordered a tower of Carlsberg
I thought I could hold my achohol but it is true that drinking beer will get you drunk faster
After about 4 mugs or so, I was singing to 'Sorry Sorry' and 'Gee' with Wendy, LOL
We both lost it... but it was fun~
Was sleepy and dizzy and had a good laugh watching Wendy who couldn't walk straight after that!
Merry Christmas everyone~!!!

Laughter-Filled Christmas

Celebrated an early Christmas with my foundation mates at Mid Valley/Gardens, our first time celebrating X'mas after 4 years together? haha
Laughter is always guaranteed when I'm with Ah Bee, Shi Toh, Lemon, Yeu Nuoh, Mishel and Helena~
Went for karaoke session at Red Box, sang some K-Pop songs although most of them didn't have romanization... except for Super Junior's 'Sorry Sorry' which was so much fun singing to with Shi Toh ;D
I think I sang quite alot today yesterday, I feel better with friends singing along with me rather than singing alone... I'd feel so self-conscious and shy... and off-key omg! At least my friends will cover it up for me lol!
We also exchanged X'mas presents during dinner, my present went to Mishel and I received Yeu Nuoh's
Thank you, Unoe~! I love them! Got 4 gifts in one day, haha~
Gosh... hanging out and poking fun at each other, sitting down over a meal and cracking jokes every now and then that would make me laugh so much that tears well up in my eyes
I've never laughed so much like this in a long time, and it's always with them... the most memorable and fun times
4 years of knowing each other, I'm gonna miss them so much >_<
Hopefully we would still stay in touch and meet up even after we've graduated

Also done with my last exam paper today, can't say I'm satisfied but I've done what I could
This is probably the first time I've written so much in an exam O_O
I almost used up the whole answer booklet!
Okay not that big of a deal but it's still a feat for me, the whole booklet filled with pages and pages of endless writings!
Funny thing was that I was kinda taking my own sweet time in the beginning, keeping my handwriting neat and all... that is until the last few pages where it started to become scrawlings instead because I was racing against time lol... the hell with neatness!
I'm just relieved it's all over and I'm on my year end holiday now, phew
But I only have 10 days or so... some holiday, it'll pass in a flash! -_-"

I'm on a roll~ meeting up with my MGS friends for Avatar in 3D tomorrow!
Gaaaahhhh... I'm already excited just thinking about it, after watching the making of it the day before
All I can say is... I'm absolutely blown away... Avatar is an epic breakthrough, latest technology and first of its kind
I've gotta brace myself, don't wanna get a heart attack while watching lol... I have a timid heart D:
Staying out till midnight to celebrate X'mas as well? haha
Happy Christmas' Eve, everyone~!!!

[Edit]: Pictures added~ ;DDDDD

Present exchange


Silly pose~ no smiling! I find it funny lol


TB11 once again~!


Two big bullies, victims are always me and Mishel D:

Broken Record

I've been having a throbbing headache the whole day since I woke up
I don't know what went wrong, I usually don't get headaches
But I've been clutching at my head, rubbing at my temples... hoping to ease the pain, why won't it go away?!
Didn't even have the appetite to eat dinner
Haven't been able to study at all in this state and I have another exam tomorrow
Mum told me to take Panadol but I was abit reluctant
The thing is, I've never taken Panadol or any pain reliever all my life *is proud*
I thought I wasn't that weak and I didn't want to depend on those
But the headache was throbbing and I couldn't take it anymore, I have an exam to sit for tomorrow and I'm not taking chances
So I swallowed my pride and downed two pain reliever pills, sad that I could never brag anymore D;
Thankfully the headache is gone now, but I won't make it a habit to depend on pain relievers everytime
It's not good for our health anyway, our body is programmed to fight and endure... depend too much on pain killers and our body won't learn to function properly
Gah what am I doing giving health tips, I have an exam to study for!
Last paper... Fighting! Good luck to me! ;D

Also, today is 'Tong Yuen' festival~
.

Patience Running Thin

Didn't get enough sleep last night, probably 2 hours or so
Thing is, I went to bed around 12+ and tossed and turned till maybe 3 with shitloads of things going through my mind and finally I drifted off to sleep but I had to wake up at 5, feeling like I had never slept at all
The day before, I was like 'What's there to study anyway?' and come midnight when I was packing my bag and file for the exam and I went 'WTFOMG where did all these notes come from WTF I remember now WTF I'm so screwed I'm good as dead for exam tomorrow'
So I went to bed with a heavy heart and a heavier mind and damn random things just kept popping into my head it's as if they don't want me to fall asleep, like 'serves you right we're gonna plague your mind all night'
And damn, I can't remember any of them right now even if I tried... If I could remember any then at least I could make a joke out of it right here right now to compensate my lack of sleep but none!
I think I'm paranoid...
So I thought I'd wake up earlier at 5am and log on to the computer to read up on some articles for the exam but guess what, even my computer is boycotting me
Like what the hell, of all days and all times it chose this morning to refuse to start up properly D:<
I tried and tried and tried again till it finally worked around 35 minutes later but I was beyond pissed by then
Ended up I retrieved the files to my desktop but I didn't have the time or patience to read them anymore, thank you... you piece of shit of a PC
Aaaaaaah... how was my exam today?
Nothing went wrong yet everything went wrong...
It wasn't that bad like that horror story our tutor told us that's the problem with exaggerating tutors but I was glad the questions weren't that hard, I'm already thankful that they didn't ask us to draw diagrams and shit using the comp because my computer skills suck, the only thing I use to draw is Paint which even everything turned out unrecognizeable
One thing I beat myself over is that I didn't have enough time to complete the last question, I barely wrote a paragraph or so but screw it I didn't know what I should answer for it anyway
However, I always try not to leave the question empty and always try for an answer no matter how crappy or nonsensical it is because even key points get you marks
The other mistake was that I didn't proofread my answers before sending them to print, yes print... imagine a computer lab with 30 students sitting for the exam all typing away, smashing the keyboards and sending for printing and that's all you can hear... doesn't it just makes you go crazy and a little paranoid?
How am I supposed to hear myself think amidst all those keyboard smashing?
Yes, I didn't think and I'm amazed at how I managed to complete the exam, okay half-complete the exam but with 2 typing mistakes, one being a letter I forgot to capitalize and two being mistaking 'empathic' for 'empathetic' but screw it what's the difference anyway I'm not gonna beat myself over it beats myself over it anyway
Seriously, these kind of exam shouldn't exist, it gives students a nervous breakdown!
What happened to the spacious and quiet exam halls where you're at peace to actually think and you could even hear a pencil drop?!
I went to Aeon Jusco on the way home to somewhat comfort myself...
Bought that white headphones I talked about a few posts back and I'm utterly disappointed
The sound quality sucks ass it friggin' cheated me what's with the bullshit "superb sound quality" and "volume control"
Even my cheaper earphones sound so much better and twice louder than this ripoff headphones which not to mention also hurts my ears!!!
I'm calling it a day... T______T
I'm tired, sleep-deprived, feeling crappy and I'm writing too much
.

Exam Blues

Sigh... I have an exam tomorrow but I'm not the least worried about it
I'm scared because our tutor warned us that it's not gonna be easy, there will be casualties and all
I'm nervous that things might go wrong during the exam
It's not like the usual paper written exam, this time we're required to do it on a computer
I personally think it's stupid and dumb, there's no telling what could go wrong
The computer might hang or shut down or shit I don't know anymore and they're putting the student's education and future on the line here!!!
I'm scared shitless actually, but I don't really give a damn anymore
It's like I'm through with all this, all these years of studying and I'm tired
Exams after exams after exams, I don't know what to think anymore
I've become mellow, I don't see the point anymore and I couldn't care less
(Isn't it a little too late to rebel? I only have one more semester to go... Ahahahaha)
Oh well, good luck to me~!!! ;D

Mystic River

Just finished reading this novel which I borrowed from my uni's library
It's called 'Mystic River' by Dennis Lehane
I have no words to describe how awesome this book is, it's friggin' mind-blowing!!!
It's so good that it practically gave me the chills while reading
I've never read a book that's so powerful and mind-blowing, it just messes with your mind a little...
It's messed with mine, fucked it up just a little, I love books like these... gives you something to think about after you've finished with it
The book is a mix of crimes, murders, betrayals, friendships, love, mystery, trauma and with a little twist thrown in
The suspense haunts me, I couldn't read it in one go yet I couldn't put it down, took me quite a while to finish it
It's so heart-wrenching the way everything felt so real, you just know how good the author is when they can pull you into the story, immerse you in the plot and make you feel what the characters are feeling
That's what this book did to me, I friggin' cried over a psychological mystery crime thriller, dammit
I don't usually read crime thrillers like these, but I think there's always a start for something
I'm probably gonna be a fan of Dennis Lehane's books, just as I did with Suzanne Brockmann's
I also love how the dialogues are something that you'd say in real life
The lines are not always smart, but funny sometimes, it's not something that's made up
Gosh... I cannot get over this, not every book has a happy ending... what's more with an ending that leaves you mind-boggled... like 'you'd have to think for the ending yourself, I ain't giving it to you for shit'
Like will Jimmy get away with all of this a free man? Will Sean ever get to put the cuffs on Jimmy like he said he would? Dave... how's Dave doing in heaven or most probably hell, maybe he's still trapped with his lies underneath the Mystic River
To think that all three of them were childhood friends...
Like the saying, old habits die hard...
I think this quote pretty much sums up the book,

"There are threads in our lives. You pull one and everything else gets affected."

I just found out that this book was made into a movie of the same name
Mystic River which was released in 2003, no wonder it sounded familiar
Starred Clint Eastwood, Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburne and Emmy Rossum... those are some big names there!
I'll have to watch this...
Gawd, this was one pretty unforgettable book, thanks for the memories!

Divine

Watched 'A Christmas Carol' with Sue and Soo Yin today
It was not too bad, but not great either...
It gave me spasms, my weak heart! D:<
I'm more excited to watch Avatar in 3D, lol
Before that, we ate at Papa John... first time eating there
It's quite good actually, the pasta and pizza
I also bought an X'mas gift as the exchange present
But I find it too cute so I'm keeping it for myself! Muahahaha~
It's oh so Divine~! ;D
I'll just have to get another gift...
I really shouldn't buy cute things as presents, I'll grow attached to it and can't bear to give it away T__T
I'm not a Christian, I don't celebrate Christmas... but I like the shiny glittery ornaments!
I like the red and green and white of this festive season~
Guhhh~ went to check out some headphones too
I'm surprised that it was kinda cheap, I thought it would be over RM100
But it's only a little more expensive than my earphones
I'll probably get it on my next visit...
Good bye Dr. Dre's Beats, my dream headphones... for I cannot afford to fork out RM1000 >_<

Fairytale Wedding

Attended my cousin's wedding banquet earlier, well it's past midnight now
It was held at Sunway... real classy and everything
Throughout the banquet, all I could think of was...
'Dang, when I get married... it has to be like THIS!'
Everything was so wow, from the decorations to the program line-up to the guests to the food to the live jazz band... just guhhh~
It just makes me wanna get married too >_<
Mum was gushing too... she told me,
"If you want a wedding like that, you have to marry a rich man!"
Lol, it's only natural for all mothers to want to marry their daughter off well
Finding a rich husband is one thing, but the trickier part is finding a rich AND loving husband
Those criterias fit my first uncle well, I'm kinda envious of how loving my first uncle and aunt are... they're still so touchy feely and mushy at their age... it's like they're living in their own world
I'm kinda torn between feeling happy for them... and wanting to yell "Act your age please! No PDA allowed" at them, lol I kid... I'd never do that
Is it creepy that I want a husband like my first uncle? LOL o_o
Marriage is a blissful and beautiful thing~ *tear tear*
Some pics which I took when I reached home lol, no pics of the banquet coz stupid batteries failed me... again and again I hate you die stupid thing die! D:<





The corsage which I tied to my wrist, pretty lil' thing ;D

Answer

Stuuuuupid imeeeeeeeeem player not working?!?! ----->
Maybe it's time I remove it, reduce my bandwidth or something
Anyway, had dinner with relatives last night
Received a RM200 red packet from my third uncle~ :D
I'm nearing the goal of getting myself a white Samsung Corby!
Saw this huge billboard ad of it on the way there, man... do I want it badly!
The dinner bill came up to quite alot, like RM600+... which I don't think is worth it for the food we ate
I could buy my dream phone with that money! D:
My egg sandwich sucked today for some reason... maybe coz I added too much mayo and it became all gross, lol -_-
I've been listening to the same song for the past 3 days and I'm not sick of it yet
It's 'Sorry Sorry - Answer' by Super Junior and has reached 167 playcounts
I like this better than the original 'Sorry Sorry' dance version
Maybe coz I'm a sucker for R&B songs like that ;D
I like the soulful vocals and catchy beats, can never get tired of it


Sorry sorry sorry sorry naega naega naega meonjeo nege nege nege ppajyeo ppajyeo ppajyeo beoryeo baby

shawty shawty shawty shawty nuni busyeo busyeo busyeo sumi makhyeo makhyeo makhyeo naega michyeo michyeo baby

Ahoy, Matey! Aye, aye

Yay for my 3OOth post since I started a little over a year ago~!!!
This is probably my longest running blog, I'm so proud of myself~ T_T

I dreamt of not one, but two dreams last night/this morning...
It's so crazy shit and absurd, I don't know if I wanna write it here lol
The first dream goes like this...
I was outside of my aunt's house and the next thing I know right,
This black rhinoceros came out of nowhere and started charging at me
I was scared shitless and thought OMG I'm going to die!!!
I quickly climbed the neighbour's gates and stayed there
Huge sweatdrop... can I say "Phew~"?
I thought I was saved coz the rhino couldn't reach me and knock my ass over
But come on, humour me here... a rhino can crush the gates easily and tear me to shreds in real life... but this is a dream that doesn't make sense so deal with it!
The thought that why hasn't anybody come save me didn't hit me anyway
So right, then I saw this car pass by slowly and suspiciously...
Then the front door opened and it was a lady smirking at me
She threw out something like a hook and it got caught on my aunt's car
And there they go, the evil lady towing my aunt's yellow Ferrari away
What am I supposed to do? I was sitting on a fence (haha, pun!)
With killer rhino waiting to crush me below and the car thief getting away
When my aunt came out, I told her that her Ferrari got stolen
And she said, "Oh no, not again?!"... lol looks like it wasn't the first time -_-"
LOL that was some batshit crazy dream there, my aunt doesn't even own a yellow Ferrari!
How strange the mind works, it just makes up things when you're not thinking!

I usually can't remember my dreams when I wake up, but today is just exceptional... I wonder why, must be too weird to forget
The second dream goes like this...
I was on a pirate ship, yes... don't ask why... I have no idea either
I just know that we're not pirates, we're the good guys
The real pirates have gone missing and we're just snooping around
Finally found their hidden treasures, everything's so shiny~
Had my eyes set on the gold nuggets, thought I might as well take it since the pirates won't be needing it anymore
So I took the treasure chest-full of gold nuggets, thinking I'm gonna be super rich!
Went home and showed my family, I'm gonna make mum proud and happy!
We were all jumping up and down in excitement and happiness...
That is... until I saw this little instruction attached to the gold
It says something like, "To eat, poke through the eyes and squeeze...etc"
I was like... isn't this gold? How do you eat gold? O__O
Turns out the gold is not actually gold, it's golden banana... and it's not any banana, it's my banana plushie T______T
(--For reference, please see here: Banana --)
What a let down! Can't I be happy and rich even if it's just in my dream?! D:<
Boohoo~ that's it for my crazy shit and absurd dreams!

Just a little thing to spazz about, 3OOth post anniversary and all~
May I present, my 2 favourite guys from YG... *drumrolls*
SE7EN and Tae Yang~ !!!



Looking good there my boys!
I like Se7en's hair like that, haven't seen him for a long time since he went to US
I'm glad he's back and working on a Korean album!
He looks so hot, like he just stepped out from a movie!
Tae Yang is just guhhh~ I love the cutie pie shy guy too!
.

No Idea

I know why else I was sad yesterday... T__T
I scratched the surface of my precious watch at my cousin's wedding!
My heart aches so badly... Ouchhh >_<
The surface is not flat like most watches, the surface of my watch is cut like the bottom of a diamond
Shit man, should've been more careful with it
My heart bleeds... it's not perfect anymore! DDDDD:
My prized possession... guh~

I was somehow comforted later on though
My first uncle brought out cherries and later before going home, my grandmother gave us another packet of cherries!
I simply love cherries, they're my favourite fruit!
Aside from apples, peaches and strawberries... don't they all just beg you to sink your teeth in them?!
Hmm, I've also noticed they're all red in colour...
After eating the cherries, I always wondered what to do with the seeds
Should I keep them and wait for my country to have a drastic temperature change to grow them? lol
I thought of growing it in my room, cold with the air-con and all
My mum asked me what am I gonna do with the seeds
I said, "I wanna grow them."
Mum said, "Grow them under your bed."

Also, my aunt told me a joke/riddle when we catching up after the wedding ceremony
She asked me, "What do you call a deer with no eye?"
I stammered, "Uhhh..." but I couldn't think of an answer
Then she answered, "No idea." (Get it? No-eye-deer)
She asked me another, "What do you call a deer with two eyes?"
I couldn't come up with an answer again, "Uhhhhh..." I sound like a retard
I was put on the spotlight, everyone expecting me to try for an answer... it was unnerving!
She decided to end my misery, "It's good idea." (Get it? Good-eye-deer, if you didn't... you're just as hopeless as me!)
I just thought it was funny and smart ;D

The moment I saw this middle-aged man walking in with shoulder-length hair and sunglasses
I wanted to laugh and tell my mum, that man looks so out of place!
But at a second glance... hold it, the man looks somewhat familiar...
OH EM GEE that's my third uncle!!! I wanted to faint or crawl into a black hole
He looked exactly like my dad during the 70's for goodness sake!
What did he do, go back in time?
Just throw him a bell-bottom pants and go hippie, why don't you?!
Both my uncles are so lol, they were abroad for so long that they forgot their Bahasa and Hokkien already
My third uncle told us a funny encounter at the airport, when he was picking up my first uncle and aunt
He looked at the board and it says, "Flight bla-bla... Tiba"
He was wondering what is 'Tiba', is it an abbreviation for something?
'Tiba' is actually the Bahasa word for 'Arrived', it just didn't click to him lol

I don't get to meet them much, maybe once every few years
But it's always nice to see them, family reunion and stuff, good times
I'm gonna miss them somewhat when they return to Taiwan and Australia
How is it that they're part of the family but I don't see them as much
I wonder for how many years more can I see them like this

[Edit]: Oh geez, I almost forgot what day is it today till my elder brother called home, my mum answered and it sounds like my bro is asking us out to dinner, his treat
When they hung up, I asked my mum what's that all about?
My mum said, "None of you remembered what today is!"
I thought for awhile then it hit me like a tonne of bricks...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY~!!!

Lol, I feel kinda bad and guilty for not remembering
I lost track of the date T____T
.

Sadface

Woke up at 8 this morning, got prepared and dressed to attend my cousin's wedding ceremony
I only slept like what... 4 hours last night ;x
Excuse me if I start blurting nonsense...
Initially, I didn't felt like going to my cousin's wedding because of some issue that caused a rift between our families
It's hard to look at that person yet alone congratulate them
But it was nonetheless nice to see my uncles and aunties again, some who came back from overseas
It's amusing to see the look on their faces when they saw how much I've grown up
I'm kinda proud of that fact, I'm more mature now... I'm not that little girl you used to know anymore
Chinese weddings are so... phew~ so many rituals to follow!
Seriously, I get tired just looking at it D:
I like my cousin's Golden Retriever though, it's huge and furry!
Kinda looks like a lion, his name is Rex
My face kinda fell though, I used to have a Cocker Spaniel named Rex too... till it went missing
I miss his droopy ears, silky black coat of fur and his sadface D:
Guh, how did my cousin's wedding came to my missing dog?!
Anyway... I forgot what else to say -_-"
And shet, I got an upset tummy from all the food T__T
.

Mangafied

Good gad, I think I just saw Miyavi the Japanese rocker in a manga, no shit!
Is it wrong that I find this very amusing, lol?
Not only is the manga title called 'Ashita Tenki ni Naare' a song which Miyavi sang, but the character also looks like him!
I recognized the hairstyle, visor and outfit that Miyavi wore in some of the pictures I saw of him
My goodness... Miyavi in a manga... when is the cue to laugh?
The artist/author must be a fan... lol ;p

Let Me Hear Your Voice

I miss my DBSK guys...
Didn't realize how much I missed them, how much I've left out on them
Until I saw recent video clips of them at a Japanese music festival
They look different somehow, like all the drama of that contract controversy has taken its toll on the boys
They don't look as lively, as energetic... they don't smile as much as before
My poor Changmin especially, he looked gloomy, down and thinner
And it breaks my heart more than I'm letting on
He's the youngest, he's quiet and reserved... who knows how is he taking it all in?
I know that I've neglected them for awhile in favor of the new boyband MBLAQ
I haven't been keeping up with them, I don't know what they're doing anymore, I don't even know what hairstyles they sport now
But I haven't discarded them, would never... DBSK will always have the #1 spot in my heart
To me, they're the greatest boyband ever in Asian music history!
I just think it's too soon and too sudden for them to have any controversy or scandal, the 'Rising Gods of the East' should not have to end in this way
I was listening to their song 'Love Bye Love' just now, the moment I heard Changmin's voice hitting the high notes
I felt so overwhelmed and touched, how much I love and miss his voice
More reasons why they should never disband, they harmonize so well together
They're great as they are now, but they can be greater still, creating their own legend
I know they can... and they will


Dong Bang Shin Ki hwaiting~! ;D

Back of My Mind

Why, hello December!
Gad, the days pass so quickly...
Each passing day brings me closer to my doom... or something like that
I'm so... so... so... I don't even know how to describe it, sigh~
I'm practically living a free woman's life, worries, obligations and priorities stashed at the far corner in the back of my mind
In the midst of all this, I'm actually reading mangas again!
Currently reading 3 mangas simultaneously, and all three has Prince in it!
Okay, I must have a thing for Princes or something ;x
My internet connection has been playing tricks with me lately...
It goes off every now and then, and that pisses me off!
Guhhh... I didn't even touch the damn modem or cables! D:<

The month December brings alot of melancholy
Last month of the year and everything, a time to reflect on what we've done throughout the year
It seems like only awhile ago, that I still mistook 2009 for 2008
New years always make me feel like that, takes me awhile to adapt
Alot has happened this year, though I can't possibly remember every single detail that happened every year
That's why I have this blog, although I don't pen everything down
It's still nice to have something to remind me ;)

Delusional Illusion

Just got home from a full day of shopping and a movie
Didn't buy anything much though, mostly window shopping and groceries
But I did buy a pair of shoes, a pair of wedges actually
I usually don't buy heels like these, but I simply fell in love with it
And insisted that I must have it, even if they're a little too tight
They might be a size smaller but I thought it's fine
It was the hype and the urge that told me to buy it, buy it, buy it!
But here I am, suffering the pain with my feet in a-little-too-tight shoes, cutting the blood circulation lol
I really, really like the shoes though, no regrets about that
I guess either my feet or the shoes would just have to adapt ;x
Watched the disaster movie 2012 with my family
I was gripping the edge of my seat the entire time
It was that intense...
Okay I did not actually grip the edge of my seat, it was just figurative speaking
I was tensed though, it was one hell of a good movie!
I felt so edgy, luckily I smuggled in my snacks which I bought earlier
Munched and chewed away the anxiety on the dried fish strips, lol
I just watched a magic show on AXN just now
This amazing magician, Cyril, who performed in Malaysia
He's just extraordinary, his magic felt so real... there's no way it could just be eye tricks
Like how he took a chick and turned it back into an egg, mashed the egg into a lemon, and the lemon into an orange
Took a knife and cut the orange, the lemon was inside, cut the lemon and the egg was inside
What happened to the chick then?
He recreated life by smashing the egg on the table, and the chick just pops out from it, no joke!
This is the real, real magic... this
And he's a good looker too, albeit kinda short
He reminds me alot of the Japanese icon, Gackt
I thought he looked mixed... possibly with Asian blood
I was right about that... googled him now
And it says his real name is Cyril Takayama, of Japanese and French parentage!
Bravo! bravo! What was that again?
I can't think properly right now, my feet are killing me and cutting off the blood circulation to my brain D:

Finale

I'm having trouble watching Episode 16 of You're Beautiful
I think the site server crashed coz too many people are trying to access it
It is the FINAL episode anyway, it's bound to attract tons of viewers
I'm just dying to watch it already!!!
I can feel the depression sinking in already now that the drama has already ended, 16 episodes does not do it justice!
In Episode 15, we get to see the real brother, Go Mi Nam, though also played by Park Shin Hye
I must say, the scene was hilarious... they just placed her head on a buff and tanned guy's body
The real Go Mi Nam has a very cool and mysterious aura, was hoping to see more of him... but no such luck
We only know that after taking over his sister's place in the band, there was a 180 degrees change and now he's extremely popular among the fangirls
Ugh shit this... I want to watch the episode finale!

Just a random thing that got me thinking out of curiosity...
I'm still attracted to men, no doubt about that... lol
But if I were to ever turn bisexual... it would be these girls' doings
For me, I'd take a double look at girls who are either very pretty or androgynous that makes me go, "is that a girl or a guy?" lol
I've always liked Dakota Fanning, ever since she was a little girl... lol don't get me wrong I'm no pedophile!
I just think that she's an extremely talented child actor, she looked cute with her shoulder-length hair and missing front teeth
But dayummm... how did she turn from this,



to this fine young thing?!?!







She looks stunning, beautiful and classy now!
Gosh, the things puberty can do for you... lol
I'm absolutely shocked! She was still a child not long ago!
Well she's still young... I cannot believe this face belongs to a 15-year-old
She looks at least 18!
I'm gonna watch New Moon not because of Edward or Bella... but because of her!

Now this, this just enchanted me and swept me off my feet the moment I saw pictures of her... yes, HER
I thought she was one of the J-rock guys that had you guessing their gender
But I was wrong, she's actually a model and ulzzang (people with pretty faces that found fame on the Internet)
Her name is Park Young Hee and I'm absolutely smitten, I feel like a 13-year-old all over again lol~









She's so pretty and gorgeous, just like a porcelain doll
I love her sharp features, her eyes, nose, lips and her perfect V-shape cut face
She's my ideal type of girl... jeans, sneakers and hoodie
I'd turn lesbo anytime for her, and girls like Jiyoon of 4minute, LOL~
I can name a number of females that I adore; Son Dambi, Sung Yuri, Kim Taehee, Ha Jiwon, Goo Hara, Nicole, Narsha, etc ;x
I don't know if I can, but I can try to be bicurious bisexual, lmao xD

Music and Movies

I was crestfallen and feeling mellow for the past 2 days...
Something went wrong with my iTunes player two days ago
I switched on the computer and found that my iTunes has reformatted itself
It was just an empty shell, my over 700+ songs were all gone... POOF!!!
I didn't know whether to cry or faint -_-"
I'm not really bothered about the songs, I have them backed up in my iPod
I'm really upset coz I've organized the songs meticulously according to playlist, genres, bands and what not... and now they're all GONE!
Just thinking about it makes me sad and angry, coz I can never reorganize them the same as before
How can Apple do this?!?! What the fudge! D:<
I couldn't listen to any of my songs, I had to listen through Youtube and because it's too tiresome to search and stream other songs, I kept playing the same song over and over again I almost went crazy D;
It also meant I cannot sync my iPod or update it with new songs because that would erase all my old songs, so fudged up!
I finally understood what they meant when they say music is life
I was really at a loss and lifeless without music
But... surprisingly my previous iTunes player is back today!
I was about to jump for joy and thank the heavens when I noticed something was off
Like WHAT THE HELL... almost half of my songs are gone!!!
There are only 391 songs in my player right now!
What the fudge... Oh No no no no NO! DAMN IT
I'm happy and thankful to have my songs back, but I'm not so happy coz I lost half of it
Gad, some songs cannot be retrieved coz they were from CDs, and my disc reader is not working... lost mostly Se7en and DBSK's songs T_T
Also lost all of my J-pop and J-rock songs...
Oh well... no use crying over spilled milk T_______________T

I wanna watch a couple of movies that's gonna release soon
One would be the continuation of the Twilight saga, New Moon
Heard good reviews and responses of it
Second would be Ninja Assassin, never thought I would watch it
No no, I'm not a fan of Rain, neither his music nor his movies... Rain can get lost
The reason why I really really wanna watch is because his boyband MBLAQ member protege, Joon, is also in the movie, playing the younger version of Raizo!
It should be fun to watch~ *hyperventilates*
Also gonna watch 2012 this Saturday with my family ;D
.

Floral

Look what I got today! ;D
Was lured by the very persuasive PR students to visit their booth and fill up their questionaire, which was kinda easy... given that all the answers were provided lol
Fixed a puzzle under 10 secs, drew a lucky number and tada~
I won this...!



It's cute and I love it, thank you good people of PR! ;)
I prefer taking care of artificial flowers coz I suck at caring for real flowers lol
My flip-flap is still alive and green and healthy, though it never seems to grow... oh wait, it doesn't!
It's actually my friend, Lemon's campaign... it's their turn to promote this week
Gambateh! Fighting to you Lemon! Hope your campaign will be a success~
I want goodie bags!!! Lol ;x

Sick Masochistic Lion

Just watched Twilight again on Astro just now
I love that movie, but watching it for the second time now and it seems cheesy
The lines are so cheesy it gives me the chills lol
Finally figured it out, I love the image of Edward Cullen but not necessarily Robert Pattinson
My favourite lines would be,

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..."

"What a stupid lamb," she said.

"What a sick, masochistic lion," he said.


Can't wait for New Moon to release on the 27th
I hope it will be as good, if not better than Twilight
I'm really anticipating Dakota Fanning's appearance the most!

Corby, Pretty Please

I WANT a Samsung Corby ~
I want want want want want!!! *throws a fit*
I was flipping through a newspaper from several days ago when I came across this advertisement for this brand new phone, the Samsung Corby
I did a double take and the phone looks somehow familiar to me
I had my suspicions, so I started googling and putting the pieces together
It's the same phone that the characters in 'You're Beautiful' are using!
And I knew I MUST have it~!



There are only 4 colors available in Malaysia: yellow, orange, pink and white
But.. but.. the one Jang Geun Suk's using is lime >_<
I'm thinking of getting maybe white or orange...
But the price tag is kinda heavy on the pockets... okay who am I kidding it's gonna burn a hole through my wallet and then my pocket!!!
It's friggin RM700++!!! I'm just a poor student lol
I don't have that much with me now... maybe if I wait till Chinese New Year
I told my mum about it just now and she refused to hear me lol T__T
I'm usually not interested in phones, but somehow I'm really keen on this one
Something to remind me of the drama when it's over...

I slept at 5:00am this morning, finishing up some work which I blame myself for procrastinating so much
Got only 4 hours of sleep when I had to wake up at 9:00am and leave for uni at 10
It has been a long and exhausting day, I'm totally drained and starving
The only meal I had at breakfast was two pieces of toast and an Iced Milo at lunch
I didn't have anything till I came home just now at 9:00pm!
The reason was because my group mates and I stayed back at uni to record a TV news for our assignment
Phew, anchoring and TV news production is way far from easy, believe me
I'm seriously having double thoughts about actually becoming a journalist >_<
