Welcome! You've stumbled upon the page of an almost-nineteen year old that's currently undergoing one of her "Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?" phases. She also happens to have a huge love for words, bright pictures and music, and constantly craves sweet, iced tea drinks. Buy her a cuppa, perhaps? refresh? || email || facebook

it's not like i don't care.
i'll be back, blogging before you know it. ( it probably won't last a week, anyway )
there are two packets of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups happily sitting in the sweets compartment of my refridgerator, and i am trying to ignore their evil little calls for me to eat them.
Elmo was my favorite Sesame Street character. just so you know.
other stuff i have to do: - watch the rest of Bones Season 3 - finish watching this week's TAI TV - catch up on new eps of ANTM - get around to reading September's Vogue/Nylon magazine (both are lying on my table, untouched) - catch up on three weeks' worth of Ryden/swimmer/SP/other slash - finish writing The Man Who Can't Be Moved and Brendon-centric drabble**
of good friends and after-dinner pictionary games.
1) today
i had an amazing day :)
i spent one half of the day walking around OU with the Clique, and then the other half with the Guavas - whom i have missed so much!
i had Burger King for lunch, then tried to watch a horror movie (Halloween) but i was too much of a wimp to watch past the initial fifteen minutes or so, so Jayne and i left, flitted from shop to shop in finding the perfect scarf (Zara!), bought magazines (Junk and Time Out) and reserved a gorgeous bag - not the bag i wanted, but a gorgeous bag nonetheless ♥
then, with the Guavas, we had dinner (roti planta) at Kanna Curry House and then played Pictionary at Terence's - 3 vs 4, and we (Andrew, WL and i) were kicking their (Terence, Huai, Joan and Vanessa) asses at first, but they won in the end. next game, boys, next game.
the game was hilarious. after finishing a round, in a bid to try and save paper, we'd draw careful lines around each picture. it didn't make much of a difference, though. but still, we were eco-friendly! *grins
due to that 'eco-friendliness', we created an Octopus with an external brain as a result! it was so cute i had to take a photograph.
i've never had such a fun day in a long time, guys. i love you all ♥
after scrapping their old website layout, the blog portion has been missing (technically, non-existent) for months and months now, and i'm glad that they've set up an extra site solely for blogging. it's been ages since i read some of RyRo's weird blogposts and Jon's wholesome posts (i love his the best, i have no idea why), and i'm hoping to read some Brendon and Spencer ones, just to see how their writing is like.
not surprised if Brendon's are all about CapriSun and cookies, though, that boy is such a kid at heart. ♥
well, knowing Ryan Ross (as a fangirl, not personally, of course - i wish), he got things going with the site's first blogpost, a post about interesting things at the VMAs, how the world works and prehistoric walking whales. um. o-kaaaaaay.
- i bought a Bones Season 3 boxset!!! it was a steal, considering how much i paid for the last two Seasons when i got them in Summit. i left it at Terence's - i can't wait to settle down and watch an episode or two when i get it back! i heard that Booth and Brennan finally kiss in an episode (thanks for spoiling it, Galaxie!). about time, after two seasons, don't you think?
3) mobile matters
yeah, so the phone that i was using after i lost my initial phone went bonkers recently. i realized that people weren't receiving my text messages, and i was wondering why no one replied to my text messages, too :(
so Dad got me this LG phone from this weird Maxis deal thingy, and i love it already, despite it having no games like Snakes (MY HIGH SCORE IS GONE *sob). i love the pretty pink font highlighter text when i write text messages and the cute keypad sounds (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do - I KID YOU NOT) when you press them!!!! :D :D :D :D
man: ehhhh... i wan de chiken mcnahget ah dat wan clispy clispy wan got cili wan ah. mcD staff: oh, you mean Spicy Chicken McNuggets? man: nonono the nahget got cili wan ahhh... me: *resists facepalming* mcD staff: um, sir, these? *points to the picture of the nuggets on a tray mat* man: YES YES dat wan! cili nahget. mcD staff: okay, one Spicy Chicken McNugget, set or ala carte, sir? man: NONO, NOT DAT WAN, I SAY ADI, THE CILI NAHGET AHHH
... the typical ahbeng + stupidity = ahbeng 2.0.
this is Katarzyna, Cycle 10 of America's Next Top Model (you'd think after so many cycles, ANTM would FINALLY hit menopause, but nooo - it already has a Cycle 11!)
sorry for spoilers!
god i'd kill to look like her. or even dress like her, but then if i pranced around KL looking like that, soon ah bengs will stop me mid-prance to ask me if i'm interested in joining their lala crew.
no, thank you.
i want that scarf!!!!!! my latest obsession : scarves, if you didn't already know. i have a purple one from Forever 21 and a sparkly pink one from my aunt that i wouldn't be caught dead wearing out ever, and i want MOAR! i'd like a checkered one next, preferably the one from Topshop, but it's dead expensive.
it looks exactly like Sebastien Lefebvre's when he wore it back in February, though!!!! *flail
i just got back from university. thank god. Wednesdays drain the life out of me - four hours of lectures in the morning, two hours break that doesn't usually turn out as a break in the end (meetings, last-minute mugging for tests, etc) and then two hours of MLit tutorials that's usually the final straw for me.
we had our Assignment 1/test today. it wasn't so bad, but then again, it wasn't so good either. i'm just glad that it's over!
now, i just have to do up those posters for the Carnivale, and then pull an all-nighter for another Reporting For Print assignment.
right after i my post two days ago, too. i know you're doing it on purpose, Ross. STOP STALKING MY BLOG ALREADY, you hot internet skank, you ;)
no words can describe how much i love this band - they blow my mind every single time. seriously. fangirl or not, their music is awesome - i even managed to convert some previously anti-PATD people into fans.
ha, i sure proved them all wrong!
oh, and Melissa just told me she received the package from FBR containing our shirts!1!!111!1!!!!
i hate this part of the semester, i hate it i hate it i hate it.
assignments, quizzes, presentations and summaries are being flung at us left right and center, barely giving us space to breathe. just when i thought i've finished this major essay and i can have a good night's sleep, a new one springs up like mushrooms after rain.
jfc i can't take it any more.
last night, i was talking to Foxit about how awesome would it be if we could only skip these years of university and go on to our dream jobs without having to go through all the hassle. he agreed. lol the pair of us lazies.
sigh. it would be awesome, though, just imagine :(
after last night (i barely got any sleep, mind you), i know one thing's for sure: i have come to hate Issues In Publication and Design with every single bone in my body. it's possibly even more retarded than the CCS subject we did last sem. okay, maybe not, but it comes close.
I NEED A BEACH HOLIDAY, PRONTO. *pout
once we were done with class (and a moody Miss. Usha), we headed up to the roof to shoot some full-body shots of Jason and Florence for the carnivale posters.
i still suck at photography - i'm not getting any better, but hey, everyone has to begin somewhere. my brother thinks that one can just take excellent shots just like that and calls me lousy just because my pictures don't look like Smashpop's. willing to trade sibling for a beagle puppy or a bunny (whom i shall name Spencer) - please leave your offers in the comment box!
ha.
Jason and Flo walking (in heels!).
no, silly, Flo, not Jason :P
and lastly, me being me, i took pictures of grass.
omg its past midnight D: D: D:
time to go read Global Societies for tomorrow :'( :'(
i lost track of time (also, i am a bad person with dates) so it took me a few hours to actually realize that today was the 6th - and then i ran downstairs to yell Happy Birthday and give her a hug :D
this picture was taken two days ago when a family friend brought over this jelly cake that i didn't like so much but mom loved it because it was healthy and fruit-filled. it was too bland for my taste - it didn't taste as sweet as i wanted it to.
AND GUESS WHAT?
LeeYee and i are in JUNK this month! or rather, half of me, because i was busy looking at Ryan turned my face away :D
Monica, Ellie, Bao, Donna, I OWE YOU MY LIFE. iahfiahfadsffadfjiadfnaksdfn
Saw Loser recently had their last gig in Singapore before an 'indefinite hiatus'. they're a band based in Singapore and Japan, and if i'm not mistaken, Sam and Masashi (lead singer and guitarist, respectively) were previously from a band called Pug Jelly which was generally more popular, i guess, since they were featured in LIME and everything. Saw Loser was born after Pug Jelly ended.
since us Malaysians (namely me and Lee Yee) never got to see them live before the hiatus, the others in Singapore decided to get us and Cynthia (who couldn't make it to the show) a video!
I LOVE MY FRIENDS, SERIOUSLY.
from L-R: Shingles, Sam (aka. Lucky Valentine), Masashi Kimura and Jimmyyy
Saw Loser, we wish you all the best, and i hope you guys get past whatever that caused your 'hiatus' because we're all missing you guys already.
SAM, YOU'D BETTER KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO COME TO MALAYSIA OR I'LL STEAL YOUR MILOPENG.
milopeng reference in this video and reasons why Sam is awesome (GOD, HIS ACCENT):
happy 21, Spin! i couldn't bear to photoshop your best friend out of the picture as he is insanely gorgeous. sorry for having to share the limelight :'D
it's been a busy few days!
i'm back from college/uni (i can never get used to calling it uni, so i just call it college all the time, and people get confused, lol). although it was a pretty long day, i felt that it was one of the more productive days, because we finally finished our third attempt at designing a poster/flyer for the Carnivale event. pretty proud of this one! i can't show it to you guys yet, but when it gets accepted, i will! *crosses fingers*
anyway, Merdeka eve this year was spent online with the Clique, and LeeYee and i were the only Malaysians present - we didn't even realize that it was past twelve before going OMG ITS PAST MIDNIGHT! HAPPY MERDEKA in all caps. lol fail. still, damn festive right :)
last year's was spent at a barbecue party at Terence's with the Guavas and our mutual best friend called wine - don't know why it didn't happen this year. *sigh* it would have been nice if it did, but i'm not complaining.
anywayyyy random pictures over the weekend-
eyesssssssssssss.
(omg some idiot is honking endlessly right now somewhere down the street, impatiently waiting for the person he's waiting for - funny how some people don't have the brains to just use a mobile phone.)
and food pictures for Kamilla:
Four Seasons platter consisting of a meatball in some tomato-like sauce, crispy mayonnaise prawns, deep-fried crap pincer, and this little dough basket with diced vegetables and pine nuts. i didn't like the pine nuts much, but the others were okay.
this is sort of a special dish - we only eat this whenever we're in groups at a formal Chinese restaurant for dinner.
they call this dish 'Longevity Noodles' usually eaten on someone's birthday, due to the belief that these noodles will prolong the life of the birthday person. i think. no idea. i'm not that superstitious, really. anyway, this dish consists of thin noodles in oyster sauce, with bits of fish, mushrooms and vegetables on top.
Chinese tea, a staple whenever the Chinese have meals. this time, it's Chrysanthemum tea - Dad's favorite. i like the other kind better, but i have no idea what it's called, just that the tea is usually a few shades darker.
food talk aside, the lecturers are trying to kill us again. work is constantly piling up, and if i don't get a headstart soon, i'm going to drown. :(
there are two packets of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups happily sitting in the sweets compartment of my refridgerator, and i am trying to ignore their evil little calls for me to eat them.
Elmo was my favorite Sesame Street character. just so you know.
other stuff i have to do: - watch the rest of Bones Season 3 - finish watching this week's TAI TV - catch up on new eps of ANTM - get around to reading September's Vogue/Nylon magazine (both are lying on my table, untouched) - catch up on three weeks' worth of Ryden/swimmer/SP/other slash - finish writing The Man Who Can't Be Moved and Brendon-centric drabble**

i had an amazing day :)
i spent one half of the day walking around OU with the Clique, and then the other half with the Guavas - whom i have missed so much!

then, with the Guavas, we had dinner (roti planta) at Kanna Curry House and then played Pictionary at Terence's - 3 vs 4, and we (Andrew, WL and i) were kicking their (Terence, Huai, Joan and Vanessa) asses at first, but they won in the end. next game, boys, next game.
the game was hilarious. after finishing a round, in a bid to try and save paper, we'd draw careful lines around each picture. it didn't make much of a difference, though. but still, we were eco-friendly! *grins
