Flinstone on Google today :D hehehe
Yaba Daba DOOOOOOO.

I really miss dancing a lot. It used to be performing every now and then but now I completely don't get the chance to. It feels less convenient because all the dance clubs have practices on days and times that I'm not available. Hardly dance in the club as well because my usual dance buddies are not here with me ): *puppy eyes.
My dance group last time doing the Pussycat Dolls.

I finally got my lazy ass up and did some exercise today! my tum tum hurts though after so much of push ups and sit ups lol.. I'm such a lousy person right now. I used to be able to do so much when I was training for badminton . No wonder that I'm getting rounder these days. It's all about food food and food! Such a glutton. No dance practices and no trainings. pfft Hard to maintain la.

I'll never get sick of this song (:


My Straight hair ):


Crazy girl again.... hehe

HAHAHAHA I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS VIDEO.

I love my mum just the way she is
(:
Always so adorable!

Look at the way she dances. This was taken at Indonesia.



The family is shifting in our condo because the renovation project is taking place at our house soon.





I'm getting excited :D whee! Now we can start planning on the interior design of our own rooms... yay yay!

I did a post on this before this. I had pictures of the ideal room that I would love to have.

Me and Selina set our minds on a rose and lace themed bed room (: Hopefully things goes well.

I have been quite bothered and upset because of the way on how certain people treat their friendship.
Honesty really is important in this sense.
I've been fooled around for my sincerity and my effort in wanting to keep a friendship for a long period of time. Making use of me only shows the selfish behaviour anyone could have.

At times like this, I really wish people could for once stand in my position and think.

I fell sick but still try to accommodate my friends so I have enough time for their birthdays and planned outings.
STOP SAYING THAT I'M TOO BUSY FOR YOU AND DON'T TURN UP WHEN I TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO.

My throat hurts so bad because of the swollen tonsil inside, I lost my voice for some , stupid cough and my stomach have been giving me so much of crap. It's such a crappy week for me.

I don't have any days of people not making fun of my voice when I try to talk. I'm trying to talk when it's really swollen inside.

I went to sing k today because I promised a friend that I would to make up the minimum number of people required in a room and my throat got worst.

Luckily for people who bother to ask and help me. Thank you Jason, Alva and Ching Yee for the difflam lozenges, hot honey and chrysanthemum drink.

I miss Booger so much because she's always there before this.

nyehehehe Purposely put this up (:
This is some random ramen picture haha.

I finally had the time to rest! Finished my final assignment of the week. Although there will be more coming in after my mid semester break, I'm not thinking about it just yet. haha *Jumps around the room* yay! I'm excited. Just woke up from the longest nap ever after having lunch with my lovelies from uni (: . It has been a routine every single week that I spend time with them and I'm quite glad to have them around because there's no one else would would sit down at Starbucks and have green tea frappucino with me besides Lisa pfft. Violet's awesome as well.
Part of my weekly lunch. Fattening! New York Cheese cake pfft :S


I had cravings for Malaysian/Indonesian food recently (I have cravings all the time and no one can escape that taste of home). Bought nasi goreng, keropok and plenty of other stuff to satisfy my cravings. mmmmm good stuff !



I had this talk with Alex a few days back on how I'm worrying about things and people but he managed to make me feel better and not to mention tagged me in one of my unglamorous pictures that shows a seemingly possessed Curryna.


hahaha scary?
Can't blame me just by looking at the fact that I am constantly protected by my parents and every single thing that I do are done for people. I'm the kid at home who listens to my mum and dad in every single decision that I make or at least I take them into consideration. I do things that my parents wants me to do. I have and do the responsibilities at home, I have their trust in my results and they never question me in them. I am afraid of not getting good grades. Therefore, I tend to work off my butts just to I could maintain my grades but it got me thinking that I constantly harm my health by the insane amount of worries and stress.
It scares me if I can't live up to standards or just be that person (hmm expectations.. a lot of them).

Hence, all the sickness came from there. It does not only involves my studies but my surrounding as well.
I'm not saying that I have some terminal disease or something *touch wood* choi! but more like I fall sick so easily and it takes really long for me to heal. ):

haha my dad told me to take it easy because I'm just putting unnecessary stress on myself.
I'm such an insecure stinky poo pfft.

Booked my flight to get back home on 5th November. I'm waiting for that day to come! No more bao ka liao baju hahaha (Sorry. Not a winter person).



Toywatch for Long legs (: Finally arrived at my place.
My friend recorded this without us knowing. Pftt I was scratching my hand coz there were like ten thousand mosquitoes!

Sometimes I really wonder how love can make people so selfless and sacrifice so much. Is it mainly because the fact that "love" does not exist but the fear of losing someone to depend on, the yearn for companionship and social constructions?

It really makes me wonder and angry at the same time because for this so called "love", people ended up hurting themselves and losing their confidence in so many things that they do. I don't like seeing the people around me getting hurt or putting themselves in positions that makes them look vulnerable.

I tell all my fellow girlfriends that girls should be strong and have dignity. We must not look ugly or act anyhow vulnerable for a guy who doesn't know how to treat us right. Same goes to guys who meets the wrong girls.

BUT is it really all that simple?

Gila girl hahaha

I just finished designing my Ipad magazine application content. Put on my facial mask while drinking a glass of honey drink mmm. This is life! Oh yeah. Did I mention that I have less work for the next one week and the mid semester. Boy oh boy how excited I am to just take a whole week off and do something relaxing like travel to places I have never been in Melbourne, sit down and finish up my Paolo Coelho novel, do some shopping, bake cupcakes, watch some good films and hang out with some friends. (:

AND I still want my rendang!

My hands and feet looks horrible right now all thanks to the video shoot at Philip Island. The itch from all the mosquitoes bites does not want to go away and it's all red and sore now from all my scratchings. Hate the feeling of itch pfft. Hope no one would notice them *hides*

On an unrelated note, I went for the Chadstone VIP sales yet again this semester. My my I'm such a shopaholic. I'm having my "confession of the shopaholic moments" nooooo. All the unintentional spendings haha. It feels good but yet bad at the same time.

To my dearest sister and best friend,

It's your special day today and I know that you will enjoy yourself (: .

You have been such a great sister teaching me so much on life and I love that about you.

I'm glad that we'll always have each other through all life experiences be it obstacles or happy events. We have always been so close since we were little and I thank God for that and the family.

You'll always have my blessing and I'll always love you no matter what.

hehe it's funny because we held each other's hands all the time in every picture we took when we we're little starting from our "mangkuk" hair days (mum used to cut our hair using a bowl)
I love days of:
our performances when we learnt how to play the organ and piano, when we travel around, when we play our favourite cooking games (rojak biscuits-_-" haha!), our spice girls/backstreet boys dancing group dancing days, watching shows and tv series together, shopping together, tasting out food together, play dress up, when you helped me with my make up during my first prom... The list goes on and on.

I love the fact that:
You love Britney Spears and Sex and the city as much as I do, you listen to me when I needed someone to be there, you take care of me and always look after my feelings, you laugh at me even when I'm being silly, you kicking my butt when I'm carrying my milo, you saying that the food I cooked is tasty, you doing your baby voices (nyamy nyamy hahaha!), you acting crazy, you in your bedak sejuk every night before we sleep

AND

most importantly, you being you.

The beauty of family bond.

I'm tearing a little right now because we haven't been able to celebrate our birthdays together like how we used to with you and the family being so far away ):
I miss you, Christina, Joshua and dad & mum every single day here in Melbourne.
I love you so much.


ps: Chrissipoo. You too (: I love you. You presents are on it's way.

Alva showed me this website on Scorpian woman and I find it quite accurate. hahaha So boys! ahem :P


First Few Dates


Scorpio women are hard-to-know at first, but they also love meeting people who intrigue them. Your best shot at wooing the enigmatic Scorpio woman is to be fascinating to her love of mystery and power. She's not going to stick around too long if you play up your insecurities. She also wants to know who you are, not have it handed to her on a platter. She's drawn to those with traits of determination, ambition, sexual confidence, profound spirituality and self-control.

Don't Tell All:

It's a known dating faux pas not to run down your dating history, especially if you're tempted to present it in a "loser" light. That goes double when on a date with the Scorpio woman. The Scorpio woman may even be horrified at your spilling of sexual secrets, since it's a sign of how you'd treat a relationship with her. She wants a discreet man who won't betray her secrets to others. So on a first date, you might want to:


Keep the conversation on neutral, but very interesting topics.


Tell her about your accomplishments.


Wear a subtle, but musk-y cologne.


Watch her eyes for clues to her interest.

Playing with Fire


The Scorpio woman is a mesmerizer who enjoys playing with her sexual power. It's best to avoid coming on too strong or too soon. Let there be space there for her desire to grow, and intensified with sensual looks and touches. She responds to a subtle 'slow hand' lover, over one that acts on impulse.


A big issue for Scorpio women is respect. They are all-or-nothing when it comes to giving themselves. So they want to know a man can handle their passion, and won't bail if it gets intense. That's why a slow build, where trust is the foundation, is better than taking chances of getting hurt. She responds to gestures of devotion, but not ones that are sentimental or cutesy.


A Scorpio woman can be serious, and doesn't liked to be teased when she's wrestling with something heavy. She responds well to someone that respects her inner needs, and that there are times to go deep. If you understand the ebb and flow, you can give her the space she needs to work it out.

Scorpio women are focused do-ers, and often have a very pragmatic view of life. They may see into the layers of a situation psychically, but they are grounded in realities. They admire men who are also determined, productive, and don't waste their natural talents. In other words, they like men who've got it going on.

Chun Yik got me addicted to Bossa nova tracks by playing some of Olivia Ong's songs in the car on our way to Mount Dandenong. (: What a nice way to enjoy a relaxing night. Did some work while listening to her albums. She have such a gentle, sweet but yet solid voice at the same time. She sang a lot of songs that brings back a lot of memories: Sometimes when we touch, First of May, The rose, L-O-V-E etc.

Photo of the day! Awesome stuff.
Went to have lunch at Miss Marples today. The boys picked me up from Caulfield after my class and lunch such was great! (Minus the fact that we all became conscious after the fattening meal haha). We also went to "Pie in the sky" for their pies and sky high to take some pictures. The "giant" chair wasn't so big after all. Chun Yik was the tour guide for today since he have already been there a couple of times. It was funny because apparently we "paid" a lot. Therefore, we had to take pictures and visit the attractions. I had fun!

We should have more road trips (:

): on a super unrelated note, I hate it when I'm being forced to do things. I'm me so just acknowledge the fact that I can't be somebody else. I don't have to conform or follow the norm. I do things my way. That is my prerogative. There's a reason to why I'm close to people who deserves to be close to me, there's a reason to why our friendship last for such a long time and there's a reason to why we protect one another. It's not pretentious, I may be shy but I am sincere, they don't force me to do things, and we accept one another. All of us may have flaws but all these imperfections turns into perfection in our eyes. We don't need to be perfectionists.

I feel like doing something to my hair at the moment. haha I know this is yet another vain post. I made a mistake by cutting my hair 2 months ago and now I ended up with a hairstyle that doesn't fit a lot of styles.

Hopefully the hair grows longer at a faster pace :/

I was thinking of dying my hair to a different colour. Like this:

These are very badly coloured hair using basic photoshop techniques. I have not much time to do a better looking one.

Second picture damn cacat -_- I accidently selected some part of my face to change colour.




Well I know that my dad will never give me the permission to do this. China man haha. I'll try to ask though.


On an unrelated note, I personally think that the personal preference and interest in music does not define a person or make any individuals anyhow "cooler" than the other.

Every form of music can be a great piece of work be it those club hits, Indie rock bands, sappy love songs, and even Asian music.

What matters most is knowing how to appreciate good music.

I can be listening to Steve Aoki's or Lapsap's music when I feel like dancing, I can be listening to John Mayer, Augustana or The Kooks when I feel like relaxing and I can be listening to Asian hits, Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera when I feel like singing.



Everytime I think of The Cardigans, Cruel Intentions pops out. This is not the soundtrack for the show but it's a nice song.


I'm going to watch Cruel Intentions again after this. This is like the 5th time I'm watching it. (: Love it.

I know I say this very often and people might get sick of this but nobody can see things the way we see.

So many things happened recently. Not exactly the best time but somehow we always find comfort by just talking and we never judge one another.
(ps: It doesn't have to be me having problems. I get affected even when someone close to me feels troubled. This is how much I care)

Well, it's a natural thing for people to make mistakes and in many situations, we are not aware of what we are doing. It happens but there's never been any occasions in which I completely fall apart or can't control myself. I guess it's partially because of the people around me and I know that I will always be fine.


-_-" Always so emo. nyehehe but I love repeating this so much because it shows that I'm grateful and these people meant the world to me.

My family, Booger szejia, lexy ah pek, baboon Sonia, Sharveen and Alva. Sarang hae. Loves.

I just watched two films that can be labelled as being ridiculous and bad when people first watch them.

Phobia 2: I had high expectations on this film being purely a good horror flick after doing some research online for the top 5 horror movie of all time with it's first version being in the list. The second version does not fall on the same category as the first but it is a twist of comedy and a little bit of horror. However, despite me thinking of how funny those scenes were and considering the fact that some part of the plot did not make much sense, I still think that it is a pretty interesting film. Do not expect a good horror film but just expect something different. I give credits to the director for bringing in creativity by coming up with a trailer that spooks people out but a film that turns out to be something different. People don't watch this for a good story but to get entertained. The final scene left me laughing so hard because it's an ending that makes fun of the horror genre.
haha well, it really depends on personal preference. If you enjoy films that don't make sense but love new ideas (and comedies). Watch it. If you don't, don't bother.



Piranha: I got to give director Alexandre Aje credits for bringing films like this to a whole new level. I never had the interest for man eating films like this in the first place but I have to admit that this was a pretty good one! . The first part of the story seems a little slow in pace and does not show much scenes that would make people have the impression of this being a good film or anything great. BUT I AM TELLING YOU THAT THE SECOND HALF WAS JUST GRUESOME! It was the longest gore feast that a film has ever fed audiences with and I must say it was well made. The gore effects were just amazing considering the fact that the director puts every single detail and process together. It is a film that would make you laugh and make you jump out of your seat (hahaha more like I did! ): . Mr Eu had so much of fun laughing at me and he even confiscated my scarf just so I could concentrate on the film. ) Once again. It's all on personal preference.




Moving on to something that brings back a lot of fond memories and just being an enjoyable film.

Ice Kacang Puppy Love: I don't love this film for the techniques applied on the film but purely for the storyline and the fact that it's a Malaysian production. I had a great time laughing and smiling throughout the film. It's such an adorable and touching film (: + all the famous names from the Chinese music industry. What is there to hate about this film? Oh yeah. The innocence of love and the life of "Kampung/village" people.

I think no matter how much you talk about wanting to be with a bad boy/girl, hot guy/girl, at the end of the day, it comes up to this one person whom you can picture yourself looking at and being with for a long period of time. Talking and imagining is just a phase you put yourself in because you just have not met this person that your looking for.

hahaha -_- What a weird thing to blog about.

But yeah. What matters the most is how your heart feels.

I don't just have feelings for the sake of having it. I have feelings because I care for that individual. These feelings takes time to develop. It's not just for the sake of just finding someone and getting married-_- (Lame excuses).

and I believe in being a better person and still looking good (as you can call it with my own term--> glam) not for anyone but for your own. Breaking up is not an excuse for you to treat yourself badly and look horrible. I'll never look ugly for a guy haha.

I had a pretty relaxing weekend and I finally get to sing again (: . What a nice way to end my weekend! Like I said before this, I just want to relax, not have any bar/party related activities (getting old haha! ), and I know who I want to hang out with (at least I have time for myself this way and not get too busy)
