Less than 2 weeks

Exam is coming really soon! in 4 days! I don't know why but i am feeling really chill. Like seriously chill. Just came back from gym and dinner and waiting to shower. Maybe because i started early and not rushing to finish a module before its too late! I am left with doing exercises and revise and that is it. My flatmate is feeling really stress. She has been puking today and her tummy not feeling well. She looks pale. I can barely see her anyways as she has been in her room for the whole day. Like whole day! If i were her, I will go crazy! Seriously crazy because i cannot stay in a quiet room for too long. I will feel super depressed. I am feeling pretty hyper these few days. I was jumping, twirling and doing pirouettes in a grocery store while waiting for my friend to choose her snacks..hahah. We laughed ALOT! Joan and I can really click. haha. While Cammi is like our mommy. ehehe.. and just now, I think because of the caffeine, I felt so giddy! I wanted to run around so badly an

Midnight Post

I have been trying to sleep since 1.30am and it is now 3.30am. I couldn't sleep.. Must have been the mocha i drank just now. I didn't know my body will react to caffeine cause it usually doesn't. I usually can sleep after drinking mocha at night but today don't know why, somehow i just couldn't. Exams are coming so soon. Been preparing and still preparing until the day of the papers. 6 papers to take. OMG. But life, gotta suck it up and continue the journey. I miss home so much. Will be going back in less than 3 weeks! I know i am going to miss this place so much. Seriously. I am glad that I decided to exchange here and experienced great memories. Met so many new friends from different countries. All great people. I am going to miss everything here. Surprisingly, yes. But i am feeling homesick now and would like to go back to my boyfriend's arms and cuddle. Too long since we've hugged and cuddled >< . I've never felt separated from him because we

Last month in China

This marks the end of the lecture week. Very fast, yes. I never thought that i would feel reluctant to leave this place. I remember words in my head before the airplane lands Shanghai. "Would i fit in? Will i find new friends here? Who are my roommates? Am i going to reach my goals?" and so many more questions.  Turns out, things were working really well. Been to beautiful places, ate foods i have never eaten before, became a shopaholic, and became stronger, both physically and mentally. I have grown up. I feel that i am more independent now and more disciplined compared to back home. I have studied consistently and that is why i am feeling less stressed now. Hmm...maybe..hahah I really don't feel like leaving this place but I'm going to the UK next semester. It is a rare opportunity.. Can't just put that down. I want to travel around UK. I can still come back here for internship if that is possible but all in all, yes i feel reluctant to leave but there

Late Night Thoughts

Hey there! It's 2 am and I am still awake. Maybe because of the green tea i drank just now. Not too sure if I really cannot sleep because of tea.. haha. Well, anyways, I finished watching the final episode of Gossip Girl (I skipped from Season 2 5th episode straight to Season 6 last episode) I just can't wait you know-ain't so patient..hee. Anyways, after finished watching this, I feel that no matter how many times you broke up with the same guy, the first instinct is the answer to your future. When deep down inside tells you that he's the one, he is the one. No matter how far you guys go away from each other, in the end, you will be together. Not everyone will have the privilege to spend their lives with the person that they love so much. So, value and appreciated the person you love now. Not tomorrow, but today, now. Suddenly becoming a love expert, not. But that's just what i feel. Some things shown in series and movies are over exaggerated but most are based on

December

I have a lot in my mind lately. Have been reading a few topics in the Life Lesson by Robin Sharma and i don't know why but that particular few topics hit me hard cause it fits to what i am currently facing and plan to do but i don't know how to start. The topics gave me hints like how to meet my December goals. It has been awhile since I've read his book as i was distracted by unnecessary things such as online shopping and so on. I really wasted my time last week. So yesterday i decided to read his book again and i really learned something and it was at the right timing. From there i realised that we cannot force things to happen. Timing, timing, timing. It is really fascinating and surprising as well. I learned that we can be what and who we want. We just need to imitate. We just need to imitate the person's lifestyle and automatically, we will be who we want. I found an easier way, we need just need to act as if we are in a movie. Well, that is just my point of view

End of November

It is the end of November already. Time flies so fast when you are enjoying yourself. That is very true. I have one month left here and I don't feel like leaving. Seriously! I admit that ever since I've exchanged here, I have been buying so much. I have so many jackets now. Like more than 10. I never had so many clothes ever since high school because back then, i wasn't really interested in shopping. I would rather spend my time reading in the bookstore than shopping with my mom. I don't know why.. I would shop, sometimes, based on my mood. The thing is i bought so many jackets which i am not sure if i would wear them in Malaysia but some, yes. I definitely will. Like for the winter jackets, of course not. I feel like a new person now. Discovering the other side of me. I would say this new title of mine is due to peer pressure but also influenced by the low prices here. I just couldn't stop myself from buying. Oh noes. But i have to admit, once i am out of this pl

Shopping!

When I first came to China, every price I see, I will automatically divide by 2. Then i will be like, OMG so cheap! Well, it is true, everything seems to be cheaper here except Shanghai of course. But that was before i found Taobao. Taobao is an online shopping website that sells literally EVERYTHING. Nothing you cannot find there. You can seriously find everything in there including vegetables and meat. Yes, veggies and meat.. So, i began my journey being a Taobao addict. It is so addictive that you will visit it as often as you visit Instagram and Twitter. Seriously. You will just scroll and look at everything they offer and then automatically something will pop up in your brain that you need something that you don't actually need, then you will start searching for it and soon, money will fly away from your purse. The thing is, Taobao make it so damn convenient for the buyers. Within 2-3 days, you will receive your purchases already. Arrive directly at your doorstep. You don'

oh Hey!

So it has been a really long time since I've posted something in my blog. This is because any Google related website is blocked by the government and that time my VPN sucked. well, mainly because it is free, so can't say much. But now, no excuses! i bought this VPN and it is super fast. #awesome! Not only that, I have unlimited internet access now in my room! Muahaha.. another #awesome! :) too excited for all these! Not only that, my home in Malaysia had some small makeover, which is the doors are all changed to new ones. I understand why my mom wants to change the main gate but i don't understand why she wants to change our bedroom doors as well, but oh well, she wants to change it. haha. 2 weeks ago i was in an emotional roller coaster ride. Was really happy for one day, then cried for the next 2 days. Emotional and i think it is mainly because of my PMS. >< and i also realised, i cannot drink green tea in the evening as i will not be able to sleep WHOLE night if

So far so good

So I've been here for more than a week already and so far, so good. I am really glad that I chose to stay in an apartment. Although we have to share the shower and toilets, I really don't mind because I have very nice flatmates and so many of my friends are staying in the same building as mine. So I am really happy with the accommodation. The flat is well taken care of and it is clean and comfy. According to my friend, the other building that I wanted to stay in is dirty because there are kitchen utensils provided for you to cook. I thought of cooking then my mom said, are you sure that you are going to cook? I was like, hmmm.. why not? haha but still luckily I didn't choose the other building and also I am glad that I didn't choose to stay alone. If not, I will be super lonely. But that is like out of my option anyways. So yeah. hehee. Today I had my 2nd lecture. Marketing strategy is really really exciting though. Maybe because I can relate to my dad's business

New Chapter of Life

So, it has been a week since I've left Malaysia. Arrived in Shanghai on the 8th of September then was picked up by the university bus. So far so good actually. The registration went smoothly and met my friendly dorm mates. So happy that I chose to live in a 4-bedroom apartment as I get to know more friends and of course I won't be alone as compared to if I chose to live in a single room. So, friends, check. haha.. My dorm mates are really nice and friendly. They are clean and not the messy type of person. Well, actually as long as they don't mess up the common area like living room, kitchen and toilets, I'll be totally fine. Wanted to blog for soooo long, ever since I've reached here but the internet service took me around 3 days to settle as our building is not equipped with free wifi. So, we have to share to subscribe the internet. Then I went for a holiday with my family in Shanghai for 3 days. It was an incredibly awesome trip! It has been awhile since we've

#bittersweet

You know that moment when you feel so damn excited and also so damn sad. Excited because you are going overseas and got to experience and feel new things. Sad because you will have to leave your family, friends and lover behind you. I just cannot take it. Being with them is my number one priority. I am going to fly to Shanghai in less than 24 hours. I am really sleepy and tired now but I know I just need to blog. Need to write out how I feel cause tomorrow will be a busy day... Last minute packing, check out if I left anything behind and blablabla. I spent my last few days hanging out with friends and of course with le boyfriend. His family treats me so well, and makes me feel comfortable being with them. I don't feel awkward at all being with them. So, we had dinner just now and hanged out awhile at home. When I was walking back to my car with Dan, i suddenly felt so sad that I will have to leave him for 5 months and another few more months when I'm in UK is just devastating

Shopping!

I'm going to Ningbo so soon. In 2 days! My orientation is on the 8th of Sept then i will travel around Ningbo and then Shanghai. Need to find out where to go in Shanghai then stay somewhere near the Metro as my dad and lil sis will be visiting us in Shanghai on the 12th. Too bad my 2nd sister is not joining as her class is starting on the 16th and she must attend the class which will only be held once a month. And this first class is super important for her. So, too bad she couldn't join us.. :'( Anyways, I've been using the 'I'm going overseas' reason to shop. I shopped sooooooooooooooo much. Everytime when I enter Uniqlo, I will definitely come out with something purchased. I am always happy with my purchase as I only buy those with value buy. I feel so damn satisfied buying the clothes at a cheaper price. For example, the pants was originally priced at RM 149.90 and then became RM 79.90. It's 50% discount man! I was hooked at a pair of boyfriend ank

Love

I wrote in my previous post that I have something to talk bout. So I would like to start talking bout it. You know that I went Singapore 5 days ago. The first day we went there, our friend Xiao Yin joined us and le boyfriend likes her before. So, obviously the green-eyed monster slowly crawled up to me and I was jealous. I don't know why. I know that he is already over her but I was not sure. I felt insecure for a moment so after the Night Safari, I sort of ignored him cause I felt hurt. (for no reason), i know.. >< At night when the lights are off, I couldn't stand it anymore and so I whatsapped him and told him exactly how I felt and slept. I didn't know my message would make him stayed awake till so late at night. I felt so sorry the next morning knowing he slept so late when he was supposed to feel recharged for the next day...oh well, he made me feel jealous! :P When I read the messages he sent to me, I feel so touched and teared a lill. I was happy as he explain

Singapore Trip!

Image
So a group of us went Singapore for a sort-of-like a weekend getaway. We bought USS and Night Safari tickets online as it is at least SGD 10 cheaper. Well, we got to save pretty much as we are Malaysians and SGD 1 is equivalent to MYR 2.5. OMG. But oh well, once in a while, it's worth it. :) And the memories are irreplaceable and priceless. Day 1 We gathered in the Airport in the morning and we took the MRT to Chinatown as our hostel is located there. The location is strategic and convenient as it is near to the MRT station as it is our choice of transportation to the places we want to visit. The place we stayed is 5Footwayinn Chinatown2. We booked a 6 room dorm. Although the room is a little small as it has 3 bunk beds, however, the room is clean and well maintained. Only 5 hot and cold showers are provided but 3 of them are pretty small... I have nothing much to complain as it worth the price I paid. I was surprised myself as for the price I paid, I expected something lesse

Singapore trip!

Hey there! I am really really bored in the office. Nothing much to do now. Just sending emails to enquire bout the exchange program stuffs. For now, all the documents are done. Visa done. Fees paid. Accommodation fees paid. Flight tickets booked. Everything is done. For now, I just need to start packing so I wouldn't leave anything important behind. Gonna make a super long list on what to bring and so on. I am very very nervous, again, cause I checked the email sent to the students that are going for this exchange program, very very few Malaysians are exchanging! And the worst part is I don't even know if I know any one of them! omg.. Guess, gonna have the new-girl feeling all over again! That is very very scary. >< Okay, gotta put that aside. Guess what, I AM GOING SINGAPORE! Although can't shop much as the currency is 2.5 times ours, but I am able to enjoy my trip with the funniest and the craziest bunch of people. Haha. I really really can't wait to board

Work

I have been working in my dad's office for the past....1 to 2 years already. Since now I am going to study overseas soon, I am passing down the workload to my sister. haha. Now she get to taste the pressure and learn how to handle agents. Well, she has to learn this someday. So now I am very free as she is doing my job which is now hers. Good luck working my sister! :) Anyways, I am now blogging cause I don't know where else to go or what else to do. I have to stay in the office as there will be an agent coming and I will have to teach him about the patters and bla bla. Told my mom already that we are no longer teaching the agents bout the patterns anymore as they are going to pay us to identify the patterns anyway. Oh well. Just this one. After this, no more. I really really don't know what to do now. Search for where to go in Penang. nahhh. I have friends there. Hmm, maybe I can help Dan to plan the trip to Singapore with our fellow friends. That's a good idea. ha

Etc

3 more weeks and I will be leaving the land I've been staying for 20 years to China for the exchange program. 3 more weeks. Sigh. How I wish I have more time here to, you know, chill and enjoy life a lil. Friends suggested to visit Singapore. I love that idea but I still prefer to visit Penang and Melaka for food. I always choose food first. hehee. Well, maybe I will visit Penang with le boyfriend or something.. *hint hint* teehee. I always,  always crave for food. You know some girls will be like oh no, fat, not gonna eat that. I'll be like dudeeeeee, chilllll. However, sometimes I will still be like them too, once in a while . I'm still a girl ya know. Okay, back to my sentimental mood. I'm gonna miss everything here. Although it's just 6 months but still, living in a place that I'm not familiar with and the thought of leaving my family, friends and especially him, tears my heart. I suddenly don't feel like leaving. I want to stay here. But, I know that th

Changes

Ever since the summer break started, I began to change myself little by little. I started by changing my facial product to H2O+. I love this product so much as it is water based and for me, a simple person, doesn't like heavy stuffs on my face. I just wanna keep it as natural as possible. And this is my first time applying toner, eye cream, and mosturizer on my face. Well, it is already alot for me. hehe. I can't imagine other girls who apply all that three then continue with foundation then BB cream, eye shadow, eye liner, and other stuffs that I don't really know.. Not a very girly girl here. haha. Anyways, then I started to work part time. My first time ever, after 20 years, part time job as a promoter for Hotwheels. It was hell tiring. Luckily it was just during weekends and the pay was RM 130. Did that for 2 weekends then 5 days during the Raya celebration. 10am-10pm can hardly, hardly pass. OMG. Well, at least I gained something from it. I was able to observe a few

One more month

So, one more month to go. To buy thicker clothes for the cold weather, necessities and so on. I am trying to figure out what to buy. hmmm... I seriously have NO idea at all to what to buy and what to wear. OMG Again, thinking of studying overseas for the first time is making me nervous and at the same time, excited. Crazy, I know. I just don't know what to expect. I know I have a few friends going there as well but not sure if I can be in their 'clique'. hahhaa. Should be alright, I guess. Reminder: Must not be shy. There's so many things I would like to do there. Join their Dance Club, travel around China. Last but not least, study and improve my grades. I am pretty sure the study environment there is totally different compared to here. Right.....? *shrugs* Well, my hair is done. Travel bag, done. I still don't know what to pack... Oh noes. So, in this month, would like to spend as much time as I can with le boyfriend and friends. Hang out, chat, stay over,

July

Image
So, i have started the month of July by shopping. Online shopping as well as impulse buying. I just realized i should not buy to many summer clothes as I will definitely need thicker clothes in China and UK for autumn and spring. I really really really cannot wait for this exchange program. It feels scary as this will be my first time overseas alone. I have a few friends in China and UK campus and yet I am still feeling nervous with the whole new environment change and I think I will get cultural shock during the first week. Haha. Need to search for more sweaters and long pants and shoes. I definitely can't wear my birken there! haha. So, shoes.. Nike? I was thinking of Timberland. Dan told me Timberland is not really necessary cause it's just autumn and spring instead of winter. Most probably Nike as I will need it for travelling and dance. Talking bout dance, the China campus dance studio is HUGE. It is bigger than Malaysia campus's 4 times. 4 TIMES! I am most excited b

May

The month of May where you can see everyone camp in the library, study area, computer rooms and other common areas. Well, for me, I'll just stay in my room and well, "study". I have 6 papers to sit and now left with one. So near yet so far.. My last paper will be on the 27th of May. 2 friends' birthday on the 25th and 30th. Mom's on 31st. Pimples were popping out at the beginning of the month. Most probably due to stress but now it is so much better already. I just bought my pimple cream, guess it's a litttllle too late but well, still needing that! Friend just asked me to dye my hair ombre. But what colour should I dye? I mean, my hair is naturally brown, I've never dyed my hair before. So to have my hair with a different colour besides brown and black will be a little weird. I mean, I don't think I suit to have colourful hair. The colours will fade away and it will not look as nice as when it's fresh from the saloon! Should I or should I not.

Dance Production

Image
The dance production by Nottingham Dance Club is coming really really soon! I will be dancing for about 5 to 6 dances on for this production. Excited, yes. Nervous, yes. I feel so lucky for joining this club and get to know so many friends and they are really fun people to hang out with. Practices are from 6pm-2am almost everyday. I've been surviving with 2-5 hours of sleep everyday last week. I am not loving my body for now but I will sleep as much as I can after the production! Well, the long practices and late night sleep is worth it! I really enjoy performing in front of the audience. Will definitely feel super nervous but at the same time, the blood rush in my body pushes me to perform better for the audience and self satisfaction. I won't be experiencing this anymore when I transfer to UK and China for my 2nd year, say if I get the offer. So, I would want to enjoy every second of this dance production. As cliche as it is, I will really miss the dancers, my friends and the

Cheerleading

Image
So, I am a cheerleader. Suprisingly, yes for 2 months already. I wasn't planning to join but it's my friend's club so I just join for fun. Cheerleading is never easy. It is not just girls dancing around with pom-poms. It requires skills to hit the stunts such as liberty, tick-tock, pitch, peel off, cradle and etc. It is my very first time to experience standing on people's palm. The feeling is crazy. I remember during my first time doing it, I was shivering. Scorpion Bow and Arrow We went for practice at our coach's gym yesterday and I sprained my ankle. The pain is terrible. I hope I can recover soon as we need to practice as much as we can for the upcoming competition in Singapore on the 29th of March which is next week! Cheerleading is way harder than ballet. At least, for ballet, you are still dancing on the floor but as a flyer, I need to stand on the guys' palms and if I fall, the impact will be BIG. And flyers must be fit. I will need to workou

Chinese New Year

Image
Today marks the 7th day of Chinese New Year. I had a really great time for CNY especially this year. I spent my first day visiting temples in Kuala Lumpur. Pictures taken from Tian Hou Gong Second day was my birthday as well. This year is my first time celebrating with my family members and relatives in Ipoh. I had so much fun. All of my relatives agreed that this year's CNY celebration is the happiest yet compared to previous years. We didn't gamble as my uncle and aunts aren't real gamblers. So it wasn't that fun..However, I am really glad to be able to celebrate CNY and my birthday with my relatives. I also visited a funfair which is really small yet interesting. There aren't any rides that suits my age as most of them are for kids below 15 i think.  Went to my friend's house to 'pai nian' and lost in gambling. Well, it was my first time being a banker. Should have stopped when I earned my money! Well, take it as a lesson and a new y

Chinese New Year Flowers!

Image
Chinese New Year is around the corner and so my family decided to go for flowers shopping! Where to get fresh and beautiful flowers of all kinds? Sungai Buloh, Malaysia. You can get every flower you want there. No doubt. So I have taken a few pictures during my visit. The colours and fragrant of the flowers mesmerized me. They are so beautiful and I found some unique flowers that I have not seen before. This place is huge and full of different types of flowers.   Different flowers brings different meanings according to Chinese beliefs, and of course, positive meanings. I am blessed that I am able to enjoy this amazing festival every year with my family, relatives and friends. mun

Google

Image
Today I have attended the Google Student Ambassador  (GSA) event at Asia Pacific University. I learned so many new things for example, features in Google Plus, Google now and many more. I also understand why YouTube views always stuck at 301 for a certain period of time before jumping to the real number of views. It is really cool. I plan to join GSA this year and hopefully I will have the chance to experience being a GSA. GSA seniors shared their stories with us during the event. They attended an event last year at Yogjakarta. All expenses were paid for from the moment they depart from the LCCT and till the day they arrived at the LCCT. ALL expenses were paid including flight tickets and et cetera. They couldn't even find a chance, a chance to spend! Imagine how cool is that! I see Google is really REALLY rich. Well, this is clearly shown in the movie The Internship. They taught us about Google now which is like your assistant, showing you the weather, traffic jams, reminders a

Coffee

Image
Visiting coffee shops has becoming the trend. When friends want to have a catch up session, where will they go? Coffee shops. I've visited Artisan Coffee at Section 13 twice and the coffee is still satisfying. www.artisanroast.com.my On the left of both picture is mocha while on the right is latte and cappuccino. Both tasted great. I came back for the mocha again. :) Will come back for more. Definitely. Hmm, i should try their cakes.. mun

Style

Image
I am not stylish but I love fashion. Ironic but yes. I love looking at people dressing up instead of dressing myself up. I love casual. Shirts and jeans with heels or sneakers. As long as it is comfortable. I am the type of girl that prefers pants than skirt. www.ootdmagazine.com This is what i am talking bout! It's casual and comfy. Not too much going on. Just a simple style can change the look of a person. Dress comfortably. Just my opinion. mun

Bringing my blog back to life!

I have decided to bring my blog back to life. I stopped blogging since 2013. Well, i think i should start writing and express what is buried inside me here. Sometimes when i was bored, i really don't know what to do as when i'm onlining, I don't read 9gag nor visit Youtube. Not doing these means onlining is of no use. I will just check my Facebook. That's it. Nothing else. Pretty lifeless i know, but what else can i do? I want to start watching Korean Dramas but I can't find one that suits my taste. I want to visit websites that is knowledgeable but somehow, they are boring! So, i have decided to start blogging! Post my favourite Korean dramas, American series and my daily experiences or weekly or monthly.. So, that's what i am going to do! *feeling excited* Yayyy mun
