3. play with my new poodle!! *she's so cute*
4. Check out the new Mesra Mall at Kertih

Oh yeah, my puppy poodle is all black and her head is as small as a tennis ball... and she likes to play with my feet... haha =D haven't thought of a name for her yet... any suggestions??
i've considered " miu miu", "minnie", "chiquita", "kacie"....... but none of them sounds right for a poodle... so please give me some ideas... hehe =D

Starbucks 2009 Journal

Met up with Cynthia and Aunt at KLCC right after class today.

we went shopping for christmas presents and then Cynthia and I went to Starbucks to check out the journal and tumbler. turns out the tumbler only comes out on the 17th so we only check out the journal and WE immediately fell in LOVE with it!! s2 s2...

It's leather bound, refillable, has really pretty pages and only RM 18 with any purchase of a Grande Drink!! =D cynthia took a signature chocolate + blueberry muffins and i grabbed a Toffee Nut Latte Frapp + cinnamon roll..... yummy=P

Phoned mom right when i reach home and told her everything... She supported 100%.. yay !^_^ she said it's really worth it.. hehe =D thought she was gonna say that i shouldn't waste anymore money.. haha...

Well a journal is a necessity... so it's alright for her... Wait, i should say a refillable leather journal that costs RM18 IS a necessity!! O.o

i'm now waiting for the tumblers.. hehe ^_^

Christmas Dress

bought this dress at Dorothy Perkins when i was killing time while waiting for my movie to start.... it was originally RM183.00 but they had a 50% discount... so i quickly grabbed it.. Furthermore, it's so comfortable that i feel like sleeping in it.. hehe =P

Well, no more buying clothes for the year... spent a lot in Nov on presents....

Counting down to Christmas! =D

Trip to Penang

We didn't do much.... reached penang at around 5pm on friday, checked into the hotel, and then headed for dinner at Island Mall, bought shoes and then went back to rest...

On Saturday , went for breakfast, visited Dr. Cheong (a good friend of my mom's) for a dental checkup and then got tortured...hahaha =S

It took us a whole 4 hours at the dentist and then had lunch at a nearby hawker centre.
brought the children back to the hotel for a swim, had a nap, and then went to gurney drive for the YUMMY food... everything was so cheap....

we went back to the hotel, had a "picnic" on the balcony, chatted with my uncle who came to see us, and then waited for Tracy and her mom...

After that, stopped at Wizard of Food for supper/dinner... chat chat chat...... go back to the hotel.... sleep... =/

Sunday morning, had breakfast, packed our luggages, went for lunch, and then headed for Queensbay Mall..
Love the forever21 over there coz it's not so packed like the one at 1U. Then i bought a watch and Tracy bought a tube dress. Saw some lovely clothes but we were rushing for time.


It took us 5.30 hours to reach KL coz we stopped for dinner and then we met with a traffic jam along the way.. some trailer carrying sand turned upside down so they had to clear the road and it was 3 lanes into 1 lane... so yeah....

Got home at around 12... had a light supper then went back home to sleep ....... that's all..

boring ryte?? =S

My first time donating blood is during circle K's january blood drive. so this is my second time donating.. I was really excited to donate blood coz i know that someone's life will be saved.

I'm planning to continue donating blood while i still can. following in my dad's footsteps.. haha =P

my mom will definitely be disgusted by this picture... haha =D

enjoying the time of my life... hehe =P

"Give blood, give life"

Delicious at 1U

We went to 1U today.. I bought a Jeans and hoodie at GAP.

then we headed off to delicious for a scrumptous hi-tea... yummy...=P

I ordered Banana pudding ( it comes with vanilla ice-cream and BUTTERSCOTCH!!! ) >.<

It's so delicious that i can't even describe...

Mom ordered the English tea for 2.. wow.. it should be English tea for 4!

We were so bloated after having that...

see what i meant??? it looks a bit small in this pic.. but it isn't so in real...

Then Eunice had Carbonara Spaghetti.. Another Superb plate!

Cynthia joined in a bit later and she fell in love with their scones so she ordered another one.. haha =D

Well, that's all.. Oh yeah, cynthia and i end up fighting over the spaghetti with eunice.. haha XD

to end this blog, I totally recommend that you guys go and try it out.. However, it's quite pricy tooo...

A day of relaxation..

(eh... don't you think i have the potential to be a foot-artist?? i wrote this with my feet.. isn't it perfect? =P)

Spent my last day at kemaman in Awana Kijal.

We bought some silk batik cloths at Noor Arfa and some kaftans as gifts.

Then i proceeded to the pool at 2.30 and then mom joined in a little later. Surprisingly, my motor senses were working with me.. my breaststroke style went very smoothly and i didn't feel tired even after a few laps.. haha... =D

Anyway, we swam till 5pm coz more and more people crowded the pool.

Afterthat, We went to the beach for a walk until 6.30pm and then had dinner at one of the restaurants.

When we were at the beach looking for my cousin, i was thinking... " it's so bored here.. i just took my bath so i can't possibly get into the sea.."

and then it struck me!!! i cried out to my mom " why are we NOT taking pictures since we're at the beach???" hahaa.. i'm crazy sometimes.. hehehh XP

hurh!~~~ my mom looks prettier than me... not fair.. =(

Saw this cute little toddler that reminds me of my cousin- EVA!!!! miss her la...

arghh... so cute.. geramnya! =S

And then saw this couple and thought that it was really sweet.. awww...

I hope i can have something like this when i grow old.. ^^

till then~ keep it cool guys!

New hair colour

This pic was taken last night after i dyed my hair.

Not really clear coz it's dark, but you can see a little bit of the reddish colour on top.

Btw, the restaurant is actually floating by the Kemaman river.

Very breezy and cool place to have your meals..

Who wanna come?? haha =D

Fujifilm F47 ^^

Got a new digital camera..

at first i was just gonna borrow it for the fraser's hill camp coz my Z1 battery is gone-case. but then i fell in love with it and told my mom that i'm gonna save up my money to buy it.. haha =D

However, she said " use your salary to buy la"............. ?!

i didn't expect her to give me salary .. haha XD So that's my decision - to buy it with my salary.. hehe =P

The model is F47, Fujifilm.

Countdown

15 DAYS!!

I'm counting down the days till i start my Bachelor (Hons) in Psychology.....

Can't wait can't wait!!

So excited about the subjects, new environment, new circle of friends, new lecturers etc.

Since young, my mom has trained me to get motivated to do something by having something new.. ( can't really expain it so here's an example) ->

If,

....my mom wants me to start using a cup instead of a bottle = she'll buy me a cute cup
....my mom wants me to love going to school = she'll get me a nice school bag

eventually, If,

.... i wanna love writing/doing my homework = i'll get a new mechanical pencil
.... i wanna start excercising (swimming) = i'll get a nice swimsuit

haha =D now you know where i get my motivation...
of course i don't do that EVERYTIME... i'm NOT so materialistic okkkayyy...besides i'll get broke if that's the case..
i just need some refreshment every now and then.

Well, everyone who's gonna start in august, can't wait to see you guys!! =)

Life here

Life here is quite the same everyday.. sometime i just feel like it's groundhog day...

Every morning, i just get up at that same hour, leave home at that same hour, do the same things for the whole day and then go home at that same hour, watch the same channels, go to sleep at the same hour..........


I can't stand going thru the same old routine everyday!! i'm just not that type of person. I need some changes, some excitements, some inspiration...

Although i seem to be in a very, and i mean VERY, obeying mood this time back here... I don't complain much even if i don't like the chores i was told to do.. I actually haven't quarelled with my mom since i came back... broke my record !! haha =P

I'm not sure why i'm in such a good mood but i'm enjoying it!!! XD

Peace, yo~~

Haircut...

Remember how i looked like???

Well, i went for a hair cut yesterday at ZING and here's the conversation between me and the hairstylist:

me: " i want a trim, just the ends"

HS: "ok.. the bottom part ( 3inches) is quite thin"

me: "yeah, so don't make it thinner"

HS: "ok, i didn't intend to"

After 1 hr of snip-snip-snips...

I went from this

The conversation ended with...

HS:" so... what do you think?"

me: "erm... it's kinda short.........."

in my mind: *there goes the hair that i grew for 4 months!! T_T*

WEll, i'm a person who adapts quite fast so i'm used to this haircut already.. haha =D

Marc Jacobs "Daisy"

Those who've really observed my blog before this should know that the Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT was in my wishlist for quite some time...

Well, it isn't now!! coz i just bought one with my salary.. (well, mom chipped-in RM50) hehe =)

I just love the scent.. it's sweet, elegant, cheerful, serene, yet simple and casual... just perfecto!

I bought the 100ml one coz it's more worth the money.. but it's quite pricy, so i'm gonna use it bit by bit... haha =D

the bottle is so cute right?? ^^ the petals are actually soft rubber...s2...

MNG outlet

Went to East coast mall on friday and got myself a white shorts from Mango Outlet ..hehe =)

The label says it's a new york limited edition piece.. very nice comfy fabric and great cutting that makes my butt looks smaller.. hahaha =D

I've never seen any MNG outlet anywhere around KL.. the clothes they have are really cheap. My shorts' original price was RM120., but i bought it for RM23!! hehe =P

Too bad they don't have much of the MNG basics..

well, that's all from me..

LAME-O

So1bored2over3here4.5if6you7can8read9this0you're1not2blind3............

yay..... you score one!

I'm LAME =.=

Friends vs ME

I was thinking about this all the way from kl to ktn yesterday night- Why can't i have friends like normal people do? all the tears still doesn't seem to let me see a clear answer.

Since high school, I realized that no one ever asks me out for movies, drinks, shoppping etc. It's always me who asked them out. The only people that i'm close to are my family members. I don't have friends whom i can pour out my problems to, share my happiness, get crazy with etc.

Maybe it's my fault that i don't know how to keep in touch with them or whatever.. I'm struggling to learn that... but still, i've never seen any difference. Yeah, i maybe quite cold and quiet, but i'm just shy. I don't have the tendency to make loud noises, catch attentions, so maybe that's why i'm invisible.

My best friend, S.ying, is in singapore, so of course we can't hang out as much as we used to... but how bout all these friends around me? i'm like smoke flying around and then forgotten as the bigger wind comes and blow me away.

Maybe it's also how i grew up. i'm the only child, so i'm used to playing alone, doing things myself etc. Furthermore, I used to move alot because of my dad's job, so friends just come and go.

This emo time in the bus also made me realize that i don't have any strong points that people can remember me of. Like some people are really helpful, caring, smart, artistic etc etc....... I can't even find anything in myself that is me. Well, except of all the bad things.

I don't know if this is self-pity, low self-esteem, whatever.... I've been going thru this up and down period since forever. When i'm my in a normal mood, that's when i'm struggling to overcome all my bad characters but i still drop and go back to my original self, which i really hate coz no one likes that original self.

Feel like giving up.

EVness

I'm starting my degree in August 27th. BA of Psychology.

I really should give it my all, study hard, discipline myself.
Lots going thru my mind now. Lots of worries about the future, present..

Words can't describe my feelings right now. Maybe someday, it will all come clear to me and God will open my eyes to see what he wants me to become..

Moments of low self-esteem always creep up behind me after a few weeks or months of happiness/ confidence. I never know why. I just hate those moments.

well, this is me..

~till then, peace.

...People I miss who are Overseas...

I just realised that Wei Yien is leaving for US this month!! Gosh, I was so busy with my new job that it's so hard to keep track of all my friends... sigh.. Hope that i can meet her before she goes there..

I also realised that i really miss a lot of people that are overseas.. and the songs from the soundtrack of Full house in the internet cafe is making me even more emo... T_T

1. Seoh ying- my Bestie since primary school (Singapore) *thank god that she's coming back to kl soon... hehe =D*
2. Yun Sin- Bestie in high school (TX, US)
3. Wei Yien - going to US anytime soon (US)
4. Sarah, Ann-Marie, Jennifer Kriwan, and their parents- my cousins , aunt& uncle...can you believe that i only met them ONCE in my life?!! That's why i gotta save up money to visit them someday.. have to know them better..(Ireland)
5. The Brights: Mr. Richard, Ms. Tracy, Chet & Sawyer- they were expats for about 5 years at my hometown.. and they went to our church.. so we're good friends (TX, US)

SO many people to visit, SO little money.... sigh... T_T

Hope that we get in touch always and i'll go and visit you guys soon...

Cameron trip

Okaayyy... finally i've decided to blog about my cameron trip..

Don't ask me about the journey on the bus.... i'll cry... >.< my back ached throughout the journey and i get stiff neck after i wake up from my naps... sigh...


Neway, we departed at 2am on the 30th Apr, reached Ipoh, had lunch, went shopping for local tit-bits, went to Jaya Jusco to shop, i bought a jeans and cap at ESPRIT... hehe.. and got a free denim bag.. Then we left for Cameron, had dinner, slept quite early coz we were dead tired..


Next morning...


breakfast, went down the hill and stopped at the cactus valley-> bee farm-> some vege shop -> tea garden --> Off we go back home.. fast rite? =/


So,that's about it... let the picures tell the rest of the story then..

steamboat..

their tomyam soup had a different taste but delicious!... yumm... =P

Lavenders!!! hehe =D they were so beautiful...

~keep it cool~

ReSuLtS....

I've gotten my results.... not what i wanted but at least i'm done with HMC!! haha =D

Got "Pass" for Stats and human comm... Thank God! I was like a blind person in a dark room studying stats.. had no idea what i was learning... i was worried sick that i'm gonna fail it and stay back at HMC.... well, i passed and i'm happy! =)

"credit" for Psych. kinda disappointed but nothing can be done.. need to work hard in my degree..

I'm planning to join the august intake.. almost 5 months of break is kinda extreme but the May intake is starting in one week so can't go for that now.. besides, I've made lotsa plans... like going for trips (which i won't be having any once i'm at Help U)..

So... my results in the 1st sem has a major difference between the 2nd and 3rd one... hehes =P i was too excited when i just started.. so of course was hardworking la... haha...

To all of my HMC friends.. hope that you guys get what you want in life in the future. Keep in touch!! =)

Random thoughts of mine...

I think almsot everynight back here at my hometown can be labeled as "emo-time"... When i'm not watching tv or talking to anyone, sitting alone in my room, going online.... makes me think alot about everything..

I realise that i'm a person that needs a lot of privacy or in other words, i need a big personal space compared to other people. I managed to downsize the space i needed to have between me and other people, whether physically or emotionally. however, it's still bigger than most people.. maybe it's because i'm more of an introvert, as according to my psychology for personal development textbook.. Well, to anyone who's reading this, i hope you understand it coz i may get upset over some petty things that invades my privacy..

Another thing i've discovered is.... No one ever seems to initiate a chat with me in msn... it's always i'm the one who starts the conversation or they had something important or boring to tell me.... i wonder why?? it really saddens me that none of my friends ever thought of me if something exciting happened to them.. maybe it's just my imagination or maybe it's true that i'm just a normal person that people dont pay attention to... there we go...emo time again...

Well, these thoughts and feelings will not affect me to give up in life.. I've gone through much major disappointments and drama in my life.. so, these just come and go once in a while ... I know that the only thing that matters is my family and my best friends.

Surprise from the Brights

It was a normal weekday morning today. Woke up at 8am, stretched till 8.30am, took my bath till 9 and left house for breakfast at Hai Peng. Reached kerteh around 11am.

I was dragging my feet to go through the same old boring routine when my mom's worker told us that there's a package for us from US.. I took a closer look and knew that it's from Tracy Bright our expat friend who moved back to US in 2006. I opened enthusiastically and saw the calendars that she gave us. It has different pictures of their holiday trips in parts of the world. She gave one to my mom, one for Steve (another expat friend), and ME (for my apartment in kl) haha... Really thoughtful of her =)

There was also a letter for us and some gifts as you can see in the picture below.

Left to right: the letter, bendable photo frame, candle decoration, bookmark for mom, book clip for me, and another bookmark for moi!! =D

notice that the last bookmark has a black bead on the ribbon... It's actually a mini Grand piano... haha.. XD

THANKS MS. TRACY ... tho you probably don't know about this blog.. hehe =P
