2603

I said I'd blog everyday to every little things in life from now on.

Oh well, here's to a very first post in 2 months. I knew blogging everyday would never work out for me cos life just ain't majestic enough around here for me to be putting up for the whole internet to see.

Anyhoo, I turned 22 with a BANG!
Partied it up some more with my homies in A Star Karoake.

My gorgeous ladies looking fab as always xx


Okay I am now old enough than being 21. Now what? LOL

hairy

Before I left to a dinner outside of town,I give a quick stare at the mirror. Carefully scanning the amber tinted strands of hair rapidly fading away for the past week. It stares back at me, looking awfully imbalance and wretched. A state of parched tresses, in dire need of a new treatment to replenish the once shiny gloss it gave. Red, perhaps?


Not to make it sound like one of those firstworldproblems or anything but it is one way or another. Having to look at it is just as bad as having all my hair covered with copper bronzed hair when it's not supposed to be looking like that. The sun shines too brightly in Tronoh, causing the colors of my hair to inevitably evolve to some distasteful shade of brown. It's only been less than 3 months since the last dye treatment yet those dark roots are makings its turn. Blurghhh..

RAGE

10 shots of flaming lambo, trippin over concrete pavement, regurgitating my insides and yet still not half the asshole you are. So how do I express this massive influx of rage while still keeping myself composed? To be honest, I've gotten sick and tired of being sick and tired of their attitude. Each one of them with no exception. Eversince I've moved into the new dorm, I was quite psyched to finally be living in a proper space with a decent pantry. By right, responsibility and hygiene is no longer an issue well obviously because we are all FUCKING OLD. We are not a bunch of 7 year old who needs to be scold incessantly about washing our hands after shitting. But nonono, I just had to live along with these ILLITERATE IGNORAMUS!! Must I explain to all of you that the kitchen is where you put your food not your rubbish you fucking tramp. They must all be stupid, that is the only reason why they would put leftover foods, empty food wrappers, rotten food with maggots at the kitchen sink. Why?! Why!? Are you even fucking humans? Yeah yeah ya'll look so "appropriate cum retardo" on the outside but incredibly dumb on the inside. Now before ya'll wanna say "STOP WHINING OLD BITCH AND CLEAN THAT SHIT UP" oh already did honey. The only sane people in my house, roomie and I being the exceptionally intellectual human that we are; bought scouring powder, scotch brite sponges and latex gloves to clean their shit up for fuck sakes. Not more than 3 hours later, their half eaten brain decided its time to wash their trash inside the sink again. If looks could kill, they would all be (insert nasty word) by now.

Pretty sure there will be a continuation to this post.

lifetime supply

I get a few people asking me if the bb1m voucher was here to stay or if it was gonna be distributed again next year. I doubt it. It's like giving candy to someone just to please them, with a catch at the end- votes! Politics, I couldn't care less.
So I was thinking how to spend the 200 voucher I got. Since I could get most of the books at our library why should I have the need to buy one? For the holiday, I went to Ipoh to check out some movies but it was all fully booked so screw that. Then my boyfriend wanted to use up his vouchers that day hence the decision to splurge at Popular.

I bought 2 novels worth about 4o bucks each. A magazine worth 5 bucks each and spent 9 bucks on this mechanical pencil. 4 packets of 2B pencil leads, liquid papers and some erasers. Basically I got a lifetime supply of school stuff lol I still have another 100 but haven't really figured out what else I should do with it. Maybe I'll keep it till the day it expires.

Stuck

What a way to end my Saturday night having the car broke down in the middle of a parking lot at midnight. Glad thing the area wasn't deserted and there were 5 of us or it would be terrifying to imagine the possibilities! All hopes were lost when my boyfriend tried to start the engine continuously but all it made was a purring sound that was slowly dying. We decided to manually move the car out of the parking lot so we could at least give it a push and maybe the engine would work. Sadly, a manpower of 3 girls and 2 guys didn't suffice. Car just would not start. We googled, wiki-ed and called friends to help us. But the closest friends was in UTP. Which is 45 minutes away. Soon the car started to smell like something was roasting inside. Being girls, we just complained about it and waited till the owner of the car came while the boys kept checking the engine..not knowing if they really do know what was going on or was it just for show. HAHA I joke.. the boys were helpful too. An hour passed when suddenly, a dark figure was walking towards the dim lit trolley area. It was someone we knew! Luckily he was there along with 3. They diagnosed the car and said.. " Let's push this. Harder" .. So they did and it worked!!! In the end, all it took was to push harder. Ahh underneath all that chaos, it was a pretty funny moment to remember. On a side note, it was a proven life lesson too. When things don't go your way, never give up that "way of doing"..you just don't know how close you are to succeeding.

the view

Don't know about you but when it comes to choosing a room to stay, I'm quite picky about what I see outside the window. I need my everyday viewing to be easy on the eyes and pleasurable. Fortunately I've been quite lucky...the view from my room is always really nice and soothing to the eyes. Sometimes I pity those having window views of another blocks of building. Even worse, a blank wall.

When I first entered, this was my view from the top floor. UTP looks beautiful as dusk falls rapidly :)



...but it looks more majestic as the next day dawned so brightly!


But I had to move on the second half of the year.
Here's a picture of my view since I moved here in May. Still nice altho not as nice as the sunset scenery I get to see everyday before..

This picture here is the view outside my block. The block on the opposite are the boys block. BLOCK. Shit why are there so much blo...ck.

UTP may suck here and there, but the scenery ain't bad at all :)
Just a random post..like I said, it is time to rekindle the spirit to blog!

into the wild

The day I landed in KK, it was already my best friend's last day here. If I wasn't able to see her now, it would be months or even years till we get to meet each other again. Even though she's only staying in Cheras which is a few hours of bus ride from Ipoh, it still seems impossible to just pick a day and hang out. All hopes to meet and catch up always ends up with a rain check. Luckily we managed, along with two of my other girls. Drey is here for her internship and it's already been more than year since we last met during the road trip to Ranau and now that I get to see all of them again, is truly awesome!

We met at Sandra's family chalet in the deep secluded part of Pogunon. Where the river water is cold and crystal clear. A place un-urbanized.

Pictures from dear Elsie :)

Reunited! Can't believe we're all turning 22 years old this year.

..yet as cliche as it sounds, I still feel like the girl who tried to live her dreams out whilst battling sappy drama in highschool *ahem

Sandra, Drey & Elsie living their teenage years. HAHA I joke.. we are still considered teenagers right?

Modoit's Chalet. This looks so nice..being right in the heart of nature.

Upon looking at this photo, it reminded me that it has been 5 years since high school. Yet the friendship we have still blooms every year. You guys are truly soul sisters to me :) Appreciate all the love given. Muahhhh!

Bottom picture taken in 2008 at the same location!

Walking on sunshine

I spent my short holidays basking in the glorious sun as I embraced the wonders of Borneo's greatest getaway with good company. For a week, the weather was absolutely heaven. Yes it is smashing hot but at least it didn't rain. And what can we do when it rains? Nothing. Well if you're Asian, you know what to do when it rains. FAST GRAB SOMETHING AND COVER YO HEADS!

Ok I'm starting to digress so I'll just post up pictures.

Took off about 10am from Jesselton Point, KK. Skies so blue even the water sparkles.



Arrived at Pulau Sapi Sabah! It took us only about 15 minutes of boat ride from the jetty to the island. Boat ride was prolly about RM15 return. We decided to go to Pulau Sapi was because it was the least famous. Manukan and Mamutik had way too many tourist it was overwhelming.
As you can see, there isn't much people here. Maybe cos this island is a tad bit smaller compared to the rest of the islands.



Small or not, the island served its purpose. Such breathtaking scenery this is!


Having fun under the sun doesn't mean you can simply neglect the harmful effects of it. So I got overboard with sun creams and sunblocks I could almost pass as a mime. It was almost too theatrical looking LOL





My 2 beautiful ladies, Drey & Elsie soaking up the fun as the Canon camera becomes priceless for a second. I put it on top of some stone not giving a shit if it fell to the sand. But thank God it didn't.



Mark took a warmly picture of us all :)


Drey & I.


A beautiful photo to end this post.



I'd take more pictures when we were snorkeling, banana boat riding but I don't bring along my camera when I go in the sea. So yeah.

hopes

It's been a while since I last gave a fuck on this blog. Told myself time and time again that I'll make an effort to change the ever mundane vibe I get every time I get on here. Glad to say that I did a mini face lift and did some super complex coding to do it. OK not, just got it somewhere free online. So that's it. It took me no longer than 30 minutes till my excitement just poofed out in another milkyway. Oh well~

I'll be home for Christmas

I am dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

If only in my dreams..

BUT MY DREAM IS COMING TRUE!

things that annoy me #2

So there's this sudden uproar that's been bugging the entire campus these days. A so called effort to eradicate the social problem that they allegedly believe is going haywire. The curfew goes something like this, students are being restrained from having their freedom to be anywhere they want after midnight. So basically the "higher" authority wants us to stay put in our rooms and if God forbid we are to be found roaming around the campus area after 1 in the morning, we'd get a fine. What the fuckety fuck is this? First of all, we are not a bunch of boarding school kids ya'll can just instruct us to not go anywhere after midnight. That's the luxury of being in a private university am I not right? The fact that we could go out and have a fucking midnight supper or just go to the cafe and just sit or fcking talk to the ceiling or whatever and not be questioned why. If they really think that locking us up in our rooms is going to sweep all problems under the rag well think harder. If the girls and guys wants to talk after midnight, let them talk what more could there be? They wanna spend some romantic cozy moment together at the bench underneath the lamp post, let them have that romantic moment. It's not like their gonna be making babies right after the lights goes off. Okay fine, even if that was possible that's their own godamn problem. Don't drag the whole campus cos it ain't fair. Truthly I'm not even a fan of staying up late, hanging out till the wee hours and driving off to the city but I still felt a part of my freedom is being taken away. This "putting things into consideration" with student representatives is fine, but why must those religious congregation be involved? Such total nonsense. We'll see how this plays out. But for now, just to piss those people off..I'mma step out from my room and prance around the opposite block. Whatcha gonna do about that?

things that annoy me

Lately, everything around here seems to enrage me. If not because of people who literally have zero brains, its about people who thinks with their knee. Oh wait a minute, that is the same thing, same shit. First of all, I don't get how some people can still be closed minded at this century. Being present in this era is supposed to make us more liberal in all issues whatever that may be. We're supposed to be in that generation where discrimination and prejudice are a thing of the past. There is no race who are more inferior and superior to another race no matter what issues you put on the table. Honestly, it's embarassing to have known someone who is obsessed with being a colour and treating people with no equality. You, have no right to insult someone by how they look let alone on what race they belong. It doesn't give you the right to humiliate others just because you thought that was funny. Every sneering comments you make about this person only reflects your own true personality. You are racist, disgusting and miserable. You take alot of shitty people around with you, joining in the bandwagon full of idiots. Yeah, I know everyone talks alot of shit about most people. But we only talk shit when the person did something bad to us. That's only human nature to defend ourselves by attacking back. But this, this! This person for as much as I know has never done anything that would make the public justify your acts towards this person. You may not know it, but you and your miserable posse are clear example that people still proves to be shallow and narrow minded. You preach day and again about wanting equality of treatments yet you're giving the total opposite. It is sickening for me to see you verbally harassing someone whose eyes shows deep sadness and loneliness. I might be wrong, that person might just probably be some kind of lunatic. But I actually engaged in a conversation. And I honestly do not understand why people would avoid this person. I hope one day, you'll get off your high horse and start thinking with your brains. As far as I can see, you're the one busy being a colour while every other person out there are color blind.

The most wonderful time of the year

It is finally the fourth day of December!!! To me, its without a doubt the most anticipated month of the year, cos it signifies a lot of wonderful things that's just waiting to unravel. Not only is it the last few days of the year, it's the time where holidays are just at every corner, I mean how sweet is that? Just 21 more days till Christmas Day and 28 days to a brand New Year! Another year has passed me by leaving me with all the bitter sweet memories. Time however, still never cease to amaze me.

2011 has taught me to be stronger in life. It taught me that friends will come and go as they like but family will never leave your side. They'll be there through good and bad times. It taught me that old friends won't always have your back but the new one's are starting to stick around more making the "leaving so far away from home" sadness ain't so bad after all. It also never stopped reminding me how grateful I am to have a loving boyfriend cum-best friend by my side every single day. Being side by side with him throughout the whole year in UTP really didn't felt like I was at the wrong place. He made everything better here. Sleep becomes easy, food taste better and the weekends are never dull. He just brings out the colour to my lack luster life, and in 28 days he turns 21 :) I'll be waiting for that super magical day!

2011, introduced me to a whole new life too. Finally stayed at a hostel longer than 2 weeks :P Had two KK-ians as roomate which is always a plus especially being in this part of the country. Met a group of awesome friends who aren't just pretty on the outside but also beautiful on the inside too. I can actually see us in 5 years time, all still together going to the same destination. Tears are shed and laughter all around this year are all normal I guess. Jealousy, hatred and disappointment aren't permanent. It's just there to remind us that as humans, we're allowed to feel that way.

Oh well, before the post turns sappy, I think I've written enough for today. Test 2 is coming up and so are final assignments, projects and presentation. I got a lot to cover before I get to enjoy these few days of 2011!!

breakeven

I found an old blog of mine that was created for private intentions 2 years ago. I only managed to write a few posts back there, but all that there was were pretty intense. Pretty much written with anger,frustration,rejection and broken promises. Love was a whirlwind matter back then but I stood still knowing what it all meant even before it was laid on the table. One thing that I found was that, I was blunt, real and blatantly expressing myself without worrying prying eyes lurking around. Why can't I be bold and let it all out anymore? What am I afraid of? Or rather who? Nobody can give me the answer I need yet I look around searching for the unsearchable. When must I realize that if words spoken from my mouth are capable of inflicting pain to a certain someone, I should go on regardless. I can be excused from committing another blunder. I mean,if you can, why can't I?

a week to roll

Yyyyahhhhooomaaaigoosshhhhh

Do you know why I'm so hyped? I am having a one week holiday!!! ONE WEEK 7 DAYS that is the equivalent to our semester break, mind you. As ya'll know very well I diss the UTP holidays quite alot cos the free time that we have can't be considered as semester break. And don't get me going on the 2 days mid semester break. Like what the shit right? Anywho, won't be coming home cos well going home means spending a fortune. And no I don't have a fortune right now so best to stay put in little Tronoh for a little while.

This week was too hectic for me. Literally had incessant classes from 8 to 5 and quizzes,test and more test and oh ya, test! What really keeps me going through the day is the thought that I'll be over done with my very first year in UTP. I may not be there yet but I'm closer than I was yesterday. It all takes a little push from the people that matters to you. Surround yourself with people who are willing to reach the same exact destination. That little light over the tunnel. Imagine being at the end of the line side by side with that people. You have the choice to choose your finish line. And I am glad as hell that I am surrounded by a people who not only devours success but also values life dearly. The thought of us grabbing hold of that future, is what makes me get up and jump in the shower every frickin morning :D

Yyeahh gon be' kick starting the week with a trip that I'll be having with the Society of Petroleum Engineers to KLCC. Uber excited since this will be my virgin visit to the towers! Balik2 Suria KLCC, mana tahan kan? Ohh and oh my family is coming over the weekend. I should remind them to tapao me chungkian from home.

Tata now and draw a smile on your faces, it never hurts to smile.

a piece of Cameron

One fine day, a road trip to Cameron was blurted out. I, the-sucker-for-all-kinds-of road-trips is more than gladly to be saying yesssss to this short yet full of wondrous experience. Take me anywhere adventurous, I will be there! Just as to justify myself,this here is my most hyped up self which lets me be totally willing to tryout whatever that comes in my way. As the saying goes, our life is like the roller coaster. You can either be godamn scared and cling to your life or be the one that puts yo hands up in the air screaming your lungs and enjoyin all the rush and thrill. See, got improvement anot? I am so damn motivating and hippy like shit right? Hahaha And that is how I ended up in Cameron with love and my awesome girlfriends ♥

But seriously tho', I am on a journey to self lovin. Let me just enjoy my youth, so come along if you wish. No strings attached :)

...aaand back to the point! No more straying away I promise.

Hours later.....A tiring 2 hour drive but a worthwhile destination eventually. I don't usually get motion sickness but that day felt like rolling upside down like your head just decided to roll and ball. Fak thatshit thus I slept halfway through. But I still managed to stay awake and capture the famous road sign!

Checked in at Cameronian Inn Tanah Rata. We decided to stay at a resthouse cos well we came here to not be curled up in a room. We were out most of the time so it was more like a place to keep the bag and chill for a minute or two before heading out again.

aand look!! A toy poodle in the window! It was seriously peeping us through the window and once I spotted that little cutesy I was in love..sadly he kinda got scared and went back inside :(

If you're at Cameron, do not miss the Scones and the Apple Pie. One of the best scones I had was in Lord's Cafe. It was yummmerrsss but my favourite butter cream scones were out of stock. Its funny knowing that scones are an English quick bread which is really popular in UK, but while I was in London since 2008, never once did I have or heard of scones. Hahah

Passed by this beautiful European mansion that was built during the colonial era which has now turned into a hotel. The Smokehouse Hotel was so lovely so I'm guessing it's pretty expensive to stay here. Surrounded by beautiful flowers,the cold chilly breeze and the warmth ambiance gave me sweet angelic chills. To top the view off, a white Benz was complimenting the whole vibe :p

This view looks like something from a dream. Doesn't it?

My boyfriend is very supportive. Told him to stand near the flowers so I can take a pretty picture of him. And he did it with no persistent hesitation and did it with a smile sumore :)

Dusk came too soon so we all had steamboat for dinner! The night begun to be very cold but luckily, we could warm ourselves with warm delicious foood. Charcoal Steamboat is tha bomb. Screw heater lol

After dinner, we were looking for a place to chill and dance. But there weren't any around so we chilled for a while at the pub. It was a relaxing-laid back pub. Filled mostly tourist with their beers. So we ordered a draft of beer and some cocktails for us ladies. Our mission to get tipsy failed!! But fret not, we still gots Halloween..true anot?! Bahahha

The Chinese Trio!

While in Cameron. People have said that we look like Thai, Indonesian and that Chia Wei and Rozen looked Singaporean.
Booyeah talk about blending in.

After a glass of beer and glass of tequila sunrise+screwdriver+bailey we were still composed as ever. Hardcore drinker ok lol no

We didn't wanted the night to end so swiftly but the car was empty on fuel for almost an hour and there were only 2 gas station which to our luck, were closed and was out of fuel. Seriously devastated......

Came back around midnite and was well prepared to sight see the next morning! Cameronian Inn provided us with breakfast altho it was expensive. RM7 for some eggs but we just had to try the scones once more. The morning after, we went to the park just behind the house and it was a nice place for picture taking!

We did the jumping pose like a million times. Who knew jumping would be so much fun. Hahha

LOOK!! The poodle went out and joined us! And the expression we had is confusing to me still. Chia Wei looked like she never saw a dog. I look scared of that dog. And Rozen just looked like she wanted to kidnap the dog and bring back UTP. Hahahha :D

Next up!
STRAWBERRY FARMMMM!!!

The most anticipated place...

It was only a mere 2km but took quite a while to reach becos of the narrow roads and congestion. There were so many cars and the roads are just too small.

See, we could literally just pick leaves along the way and have a bag full of it. Cars had to cramped up to the sides to let other cars pass by.

Breathtaking view of the Cameron Terrain from the BOH Tea Platform Cafe.

#cubabayangkan every morning wake up to this view?
A cup of hot tea and some butter scones to melt the heart.

The girls & moi

Our very own talented artist imported directly from Korea. Ohyeah.

Our next top model gracing every shot with her fab style :)

Left Cameron with a big heart filled with joy,laughter and love :)
We all took a piece of cameron with us. Thanks for wonderful memorable experience guys mmuahx!!

Back to Ipoh
