A Happy New Week!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  :)

Hahaha I'm still in the mood of new year cause I'm awesome like that.

Finally met up with JeanNie and LeongChin last night! So happy! Didn't get to meet up with the rest but its okay, time will come for us to meet again!  :)

Planning to visit JeanNie at Kampar!! :D Shall really make this a reality...weeeha!

JeanNie asked me to update my blog and now I'm so energised and motivated to write something on this space but I don't know what to blog about.....Egypt? Korea? Both are equally awesome so its really difficult to pick!

Nevermind. Today, I shall blog about my new favourite color.

Its....G R E E N!

I fell in love with GREEN on the last day in Korea. To be specific, on the 27th December 2010. 

WHY?

Cause... I bought that green color long sleeve top in DongDaeMun (30 BUCKS ONLY DAMN CHEAP COZ ITS LONG SLEEVE AND QUALITY SUPER KAO GOOD) Errr okay back to my main point.. and... I wore it on the last day cause, well, I felt like it :D 

and... IT SNOWED OK. IT SNOWEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD. 

I mean, I've seen snow on the ground, snow on the mount. BUT, I've never seen FALLING snow before. On the last day in Korea, it finally snowed.

Hence, I've decided that my new favourite/lucky colour will be and shall be GREEN. 

:D 

Okay I shall blog about my Korea trip since I've already mentioned it above. Haha!

So...... On the first day. We landed at Incheon Airport. Stayed one night in Seoul  :) 

SMELLLLLL THE KOREAN AIR BAYBEHH   :P

Visited the 63 Building, which is the tallest building in Korea (Was told by the tour guide)

Kissed my new found boyfriend which I dumped a few minutes later cause he refused to move. True story.

Made a glass/mug/cup out of ice.

They gave us a rectangular ice block, and we're supposed to make those like...errr.. A&W Mugs! 

make 3 sides round-ish, and another side would be the handle!

Making the handle is tough cause if you exert too much force, it would then break off and you'd have no choice but to make a mug with no handle. (Refer to the person in the middle - cause she broke the handle :P)

Upon completion, you'll be asked to bring your handmade ice mug to the front and the person in charge will fill up the mug with orange juice! then you can drink from it! like what we did  :)

It was a fun experience but, not my thing, really.   

Then we went to Myeong Dong for some SHOPPING  :D

Day 2 - Jeju Island (!!!)

 We went to watch the Nanta Show  :)

NANTA' is a non-verbal performance of free rhythmical movements that dramatize customary Korean percussions in a strikingly comedic stage show. Integrating unique Korean traditional drumbeats in a western performance style, NANTA storms into a huge kitchen where four capricious cooks are preparing a wedding banquet. While cooking, they turn all kinds of kitchen items - pots, pans, dishes, knives, chopping boards, water bottles, brooms and even each other- into percussion instruments.

 oh btw do you like my boots?

I LOVE THEM. 

 Rachel got called on stage to try the SOUP they made! and eventually she got "married" to the guy standing beside her  :P

Evie and myself had such a hard time trying to not laugh so much. LOLOLOL SUPER FUNNY LAH SERIOUSLY....

The next day, we went to the Korean Culture Experience Centre, where we learned how to make Kimchi and had a chance to wear the Hanbok  :)

 SELF TIMER FTW! :D

Kimchi om nom nom nom

..... To be continued   :)

Hello there, Twenty Eleven :)

Its 2011 already. In fact, its already the 2nd day of 2011. 


Just to do a small recap of 2010, it was a rather good year for me :)


I spent 4-5 months in Perth studying, and then continued my studies in Miri, Sarawak. 


Last month was a realllllly awesome month!
Went to Singapore to visit Ling, went to Egypt with my family and went to Korea with Rachel and Evelyn. 
Egypt was mind blowing, its simply magnificent..really. I had so much fun and made many new friends during the trip =)


Korea was...where our dreams came true. Three of us went on our first holiday together, on our own. We saw falling snow, for the first time. We went skiing, late night shopping, spent Christmas away from home, in a foreign land. 


2010 wasn't the best year of my life, but in 2011, I'll make it a year worth remembering :) 


Cheers to the new year and God bless everyone!

New Addiction

Have I mentioned.... that I've recently developed a new love towards this thing called headband? They are so awesome and makes it so easy to be a girly-girl on lazy days.  :P

I got myself a headband from FashionValet (brand: Alainn) recently and brought it with me to Singapore. Wanted the one in beige but unfortunately it was already sold out by the time I wanted to purchase it :(   (So be sure to get yours the moment you set your eyes on any of them! They run out pretty fast so gotta act quick to secure your fav piece!! :D)

Gonna get myself a second one soon-ish.

I got the Olive one! :D

Spot it! ♥

Wore it again the next day, and it matched my maxi dress!

And oh that's some expensive popcorn from Garrett Popcorn, Singapore. 

I loved the packaging! So cute!

The people at FV were so friendly and I love love love love loveeee their packaging. (Yes I'm a sucker for nice packaging. I'm a girl,okay) 

Too bad I didn't take a picture of the packaging arghhh 

Anyways, Thank you FV for the awesome customer service + product + packaging + everything else :P

Hmmmm which headband should I get next?
The red one.

Eh no, I think I'll get the navy blue one...

but the purple one looks nice toooo..... 

What about the maroon one?! :D

*continue day-dreaming.............

and maybe one day my prince charming will get me all the headbands and I won't have to worry about the hole in my purse anymore! *giggles

The day is here!

Goooood morning lovely people! :)


Heading home today!! Wheeeee


Done with finals, done with everything I need to do here in Sarawak.


Glorious Klang, I'll be back in a couple of hours! Reserve those bahkutteh for ME! :D

Random Snapshots

 ♥ my awesome cousins

 ♥ myself   :P

Hmmm time for a hair cut/trim.  Been so longgg.

Salon visits, anyone?

OHHH! on a super happy note, Congrats to JQ for making it to the top 10 of Mirrors Ambassador Search!! :D :D

Will be going to Korea in December, and spending Christmas there! Best part - the 3CUZ (Myself, Evelyn and Rachel) are finally living our dreams - to travel together on our own!

Feel so grown up now. Haha

To forgive and forget - Life's hardest lesson, but learning it, slowly but surely.

Life is way too short to make enemies or be mad at people for so long anyway. Stop hatin' start lovin'.

Will be selling away a lot of my clothes after my finals. All of them are either brand new or worn once/twice only. Do check this space after 27th November! 

Wardrobe clearance and crazy prices!!  :D

I need a new hobby. Buy me a shopping mall, anyone? I'll manage it with all of my heart and soul. LOL.

No, really. 

I spend hours just browsing through online boutiques and drool at beautiful pieces. 

Makes me happy just like that!

Oh! And I saw a rainbow earlier~ So pretty but too bad I didn't bring my camera back to Sarawak, had to use my phone to capture the pics instead. 

Something smart

Hello dear readers who've not given up on my rather dead blog just yet.


I'm here again, this time, trying to write something to destress from studying.


My finals begins next tuesday, ending on 23rd Nov. I'll be returning home on 27th for a good three months. 
Yes I do love holidays but why does it have to be so long? Two weeks to 1 month is good enough already. I hate rotting around doing nothing. Blergh.
Well, at least I'll be attending summer school at Subang.


Yesterday, I have no idea what I was thinking but I wanted to show my friend pictures of the Curtin campus in Perth. So I went to Curtin's website. (The one in Perth)


ok - brb - toilet break  :P


ok back.


So... yeah. I was browsing through the website, looking for more pictures of the campus itself. Then, I came across a link that I thought was interesting. and I clicked on it.
It was the greatest discovery of my life. 


No, seriously. No joke. 
I have no idea why I haven't heard about it before  T.T 
Such a waste!


This is the website  : CLICK 


Tell me. How amazing is that.  *tears of joy


you have no idea at all, how long I was staring at that page, clicking on each country's name, looking at the list of universities.. and just, drool. Yes, that's it. Just, freaking, droooool like an idiot in front of the computer.


If there's one decision that I regret, it would be the decision whereby I chose to go to Murdoch. *smacks self
I was THIS CLOSE to going to Curtin in Perth, and then probably have the slight chance (that I now no longer have) of going on an exchange semester elsewhere. 
Life would have been so different. So, very, ultimately, different. 


But I guess everything happens for a reason. 


Soooo, yeah. Maybe the reason why I chose Murdoch in the very first place was because I was fated to....
- fall and trip and sprain my ankle on the first week of class in Perth
- hurt my tailbone because of the impact of the awesome and glorious fall
- have an absolutely boring uni life in Murdoch


and then....
- failed to go to Curtin Perth just because of that ONE FREAKING LETTER Murdoch refused to issue....


and then...
- live in the city of the dead, a.k.a Miri
- be 30 mins away from the nearest mall which cost me RM40 just to get a cab to send me there to buy groceries and get back to uni.
- live in an on-campus accommodation whereby I'll receive sms saying "Welcome to Brunei" (coz its damn near Brunei)
- have weird lecturers (No, weird is not the word. Noob sounds more like it)
- and best of all.. I'll be having my graduation in the Uni's gym! zomg how exciting!!! :D :D
yes, the last moment of my life as a student will be photographed, completed with awesome props like dumbbells. I can't wait to graduate. seriously. 


Okay I shall stop complaining because all of these is not anyone's fault, but myself.
I'm such a lousy decision maker. 


Despite all the complains I make about living in Perth or even Miri.
Its not all that bad. I do have great moments and happy times in both places. I've made new friends from different background in both places.. 
Its just... human always ask for what they can't get, don't they? and as usual, grass is always greener on the other side. plus, girls love to rant. so, just let me do so.


As for now, I've kinda given up on aspiring to have an awesome-wonderful-kickass-uni-life.
All I want to do now is ace my exams and at least appear to be less stupid. and of course, be happy.




Hmmm now, should I continue studying or sleep.Okay I think I'll go for the latter.


(See what I mean by me being a lousy decision maker?)   T.T 

Time to go crazy!

Errr. Not now of course, but during my 3 months holiday!

Lets seeee.. To do list:
- Spa day with JQ Lee
- Bazaar-hopping day! who wanna join!?
- Meet up with Ming
- KOREA!
- Huge party in January for all FICM'ians   =)
- Sell away all my unused clothing!
- Plan and start on my big project!


Bwahahaha.. More to add on!
Hoooraayy!

How do you spell the word "good"

I wish I could be a better person.


Sometimes uncertainties in life make you somewhat blurred about the future, sometimes even something that is staring right at your face makes you spin right round. (Okay I didn't make sense did I) Sigh.


I know hardly anybody reads this space anymore, but this is a personal space of mine for me to jot down my thoughts and scribble nonsense whenever I want to.
There is so much I want to do in my life. So often I let go of all those chances just because I'm afraid of what others would think of me if I fail. Yes, I'm a sore loser. I have not failed any subjects since primary school up till now. I am a very competitive person. I trained myself to either do well, or do extraordinarily good. Failure was not an option. I have extremely high expectations of myself. As long as its not 75% and above, its not good enough to me. That's why I am so very picky when it comes to assignments. Heck, even little things like how to hang my clothes or even how much to arrange my items in an orderly manner, I am sooooooo darn picky. Yes I may sound like a perfectionist, who has a super tidy and neat room, a clean study table free from random items such as cotton buds, left over bread and what not. But I'm not. My life and my thoughts, they are all over the place. Just like my room. It totally reflects on my life. 
So messy. So, so messy. 


Some people said I'm a confident person. I do my work with all my heart.  I don't care what others think about me. 
Truth is, every single day before I leave my room, no matter where am I heading to, I'll at least try on 3 different shirts/skirts/pants/dresses. Just to look good. Just so I can actually FEEL good and be slightly more confident. How people think of me, matters SO SO SO MUCH to me. I cannot bare knowing someone dislike me or even think that I am not a nice person to hang out with. I know nobody is perfect in this world, but argh. (Gawd I don't even know what am I typing anymore)


I have everything I want in life. Awesome family members, caring friends, parents who are willing to sacrifice and pay so much for my education. I don't have any life-threatening diseases, nor do I live in an unbearable condition.




Today, I also received my first Fail in my life. No, I didn't fail any exams whatsoever.
It was my assignment. I scored 48/100 for my Management assignment.
Reason: Lecturer mentioned instruction ABC, another tutor mentioned instruction XYZ.
So, since the lecturer is like the leader for the subject, I followed his instruction. But, because I followed instruction ABC, I was penalized for "NOT FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTION"--Quote the tutor with instruction XYZ


Yes, its very near the passing line. Yes, some of you may think "aiyah this girl nothing better to do, like that also wanna complain"


The thing here is, many people told me to complain to the lecturer about it. I didn't. 
Num 1: Lecturer and tutors = 1 team of colleagues. I'm sure the lecturer will have something good to say about the tutor anyway
Num 2: I realized that things happen for a reason. In the future, there will be conflicts of instructions from various decision makers. It may be the two marks that I've lost that made me so upset. But these 2 marks, are the best marks that I've lost. 




You may not understand what is the big deal. but it's okay.


Today, I became wiser.

An urge to scribble

I know I've said this gazillion times, but there is really nothing exciting in my life to blog about  :(


I've been shopping so much recently (grocery shopping that is)


I feel like we're such monsters, referring to my housemates and myself.


4 of us finishes a tray of eggs in less than a week.   o.0


At the rate we're eating, I'm gonna turn into a big fat lazy bimbo one day. real soon. *gasp


The only thing that I'm excited about is the HOLIDAYYYYS.


I know that when the holidays finally arrive, I'll be complaining about being bored and having the urge to do assignments. Gosh why am I so difficult?!


So lets seeeee, 43 more days to finals and 77 more days till I breathe in Korean air. Hahahaha. I sound so dumb. Lalaladida..


I saw a rainbow the other day  :) Totally made my day! Wheeee


(okay if you haven't realise, this post is full of nothing but pure bullshit just cause I'm so bored and tired of reading powderful enggrish)


I wanna swim and go to the gym. AND SAUNA TOO!!!  :'(


Dear Celcom Broadband, please speed up  :( Pretttyyy pleaseeeeeeeeee


Dear Laptop, please do not fail on me anytime soon (Ooops daddie says not to use the word "not"). Let me rephrase, Dear Laptop, please be fine until I finish this semester (at least)


Dear University, please organize more fun-filled events and not some stupid quiz day =.="


Dear Ng Kai Ling, please come back at the end of the year before I die of boredom.  Please and thank you  :D




Bye bye
