Hi guys!!!!!!!! Missed me much?

I’m at Starbucks, Jusco Tebrau City now. It’s really hot here although it just poured like mad =.=

I think this is my favourite mall in the entire state!

And no, I have not settled in yet unfortunately. I’m here with my family and they pretty much only care about buying stuff and not helping me settle in so I’ve only been to my room once. For like… 15 minutes just to put my stuff down wth.

I think I should probably stop buying things because I’ve been going A BIT overboard with my shopping here o.O Bought a few shirts (okay close to 10 wth. But most of them are formal shirts so they’re ESSENTIAL okay??!), jeans, shoes blah blah blah. But I still want need more stuff. I wanna try looking for them at Bugis.

For some reason, I was pretty determined to get white shirts because I think white shirts look most apt at the hospital but now I realise almost all the cab drivers here wear white shirts =.= And I have a thing against cab drivers because they’re always so dishonest. But thank goodness everyone uses the meter here

I think I’m gonna go now. Don’t know how long from now I’ll be updating again but just check back soon okay?

Oh by the way, P1 WIMAX, STREAMYX OR MAXIS BROADBAND???????

That’s all!

Cya!

Holidays are going to end in a week and I’ll be leaving to JB really soon. Which means I need to start packing, which I hate doing. And I’ll be carless when I reach JB. How great! That means I’ll have to trouble someone to ferry me around. Which I hate even more =.=

I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I booked my tickets so early. I think I was just too bored being cooped up at home. But now I don’t feel like going to JB anymore. Downloaded the orientation week timetable a few days ago and *yawns* I am not excited anymore about Year 3. I’m just going to keep my expectations really really low to save myself from any disappointment.

I’ve been bumming around for most of my too-short holiday and although I wished I’d been more productive most of the time, I realise that I actually do enjoy bumming. A lot, actually.

For some reason, I think I had some quarter life crisis and wanted to try to do so many things once the holidays started. Things that I ambitiously planned to attempt doing this holiday include:

1) Making my own shirts - check!

Okay they were pretty futile attempts because none of the shirts I’ve made are actually wearable. I mean, I can put them on and they look like shirts but I’m scared to wear them out because I’m scared that they’d fall apart. Which they probably will because I have such horrible sewing skills. Learnt to use the sewing machine in a day and didn’t have much practice before I started sewing my own shirts so they came out pretty bad. And I’m too lazy to make more because I need to draw and cut everything on my bedroom floor since I don’t have a proper workplace and doing that gives me major backaches =.=

This is a skill worth honing though.

2) Cooking – check!

Only tried doing it twice because I kept procrastinating and I only succeeded once but that’s pretty good already for me. I realise that I don’t enjoy cooking. AT ALL. But I’m glad I tried.

3) Revising – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ROFLMAO WHAT WAS I THINKING?

Enough said wth.

4) Learning to play the piano – not checked.

Plan went down the drain.

5) Getting a part time job – not checked.

Didn’t work out because I was too picky. As much as I’d like to earn some pocket money, I wasn’t going to voluntarily torture myself by doing something that I didn’t like after slaving away in medical school  for a freaking year! (Thanks to stupid CBP) The only places I’d voluntarily work at were either an education agency or an advertising firm or a clinic/hospital. But none of that worked out so yeah.. nyeh. Maybe next time.

6) Blogging more – check!

I think I’ve been updating my blog more frequently during the holidays! And I appreciate all the comments I’ve been getting so keep them coming please!

7) Picking up Photography – check!

My favourite pasttime at the moment (quite evidently)! Definitely going to keep venturing into it.

8 ) Reading more – not checked!

I read a total of zero novels. Boohoo. Should refrain myself from buying more books because I probably won’t have time to finish them.

9) Less shopping – check!

Bought super little for myself but spent quite a fair bit on Christmas presents for my family. Am quite pleased with myself

10) Stop being a potato – not checked!

Need to start exercising!

11) Traveling – errr.. check?

Flew back to KL to go down to JB to look for a place in mid-December. Then to KK early January. Should’ve planned earlier so could’ve done more. So yeah, something to keep in mind this year.

12) Learning Hokkien – not checked!

I didn’t make it past laughing at myself for sounding so cheesy wth.

***

Hey! I have 6/12 things checked! I’m pretty content with myself Yay!

Now all I need to do is be a better medical student! Which shouldn’t be that hard right? I’ll just need to kiss every other coursemate’s ass and every lecturer’s ass and slave away on my books when I’m not kissing anyone’s ass and be more outspoken and more open-minded and kinder and more passionate and friendlier.

Sounds simple enough =.=

That’s all!

Cya!

It’s how you wear it that matters.

So stop starving yourself to save up for that overpriced Louis Vuitton bag. Carrying it around will not make you look any better than carrying a random environmental friendly grocery bag.

I honestly don’t get why some people ONLY wear designer clothes. Sometimes, some people only wear designer clothes that they can’t even afford. What’s the reason? Ego? Oh yeah ego can feed an entire country.

No. Wait.

Ego can’t feed an entire country. The amount of money spent feeding your ego might be able to though.

I’m not trying to be mean here. I’m just trying to state my disappointment at how some people can be so condescending sometimes. Judging people from the brands of their clothing? Or should I say, belittling people just because they’re not wearing expensive clothes? When did humanity stoop to such an alarmingly low level?

Weren’t clothes invented to protect our bodies? When did our clothes decide who we are?

No, they don’t. Because we’re supposed to decide the things we wear. Don’t wear something just because everyone’s wearing it. Wear it because you think you can pull it off. Because when you think you can pull it off, you probably will. But let’s assume you have at least SOME sense in you la.

Moral of the story: Wear your clothes. Don’t let them wear you.

Yay. Done. I sound like a PSA wth.

And to prove my point, I shall show you a rather ugly shirt that I made.

Remember the last time I kind of lost my mind and decided to make a shirt from scratch?? Well, I made another one wth.

Based on this design that I random drew one night:

The inspiration came from a chef’s uniform

And the final result looks like this:

Yes I sengaja made the photo so small so you won’t be able to see it clearly.

Jauh panggang dari api yeah I know shut up thank you very much.

But the buttons are cute right right right???

And honestly, I don’t think it looks too bad on me.

Not too good, but at least it looks better than on the hanger.

RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT???

*takes out gun and loads it with bullets*

RIGHTTTTTTTTT??

That’s the most normal photo that I was able to take.

More insanely posey photos after the jump. Not for the weak hearted thank you. Read more

Yes I just revealed your age to the entire world so you can go dig a hole and bury your head so no one can ever find you wth.

I’m a bit rusty at dedicating posts to people so here goes nothing. And ZOMG I can’t believe when I first got to know you you were only 15. Gee, thanks for making me feel ancient! (although I’m only 19 *cough cough*)

Sorry for not being able to celebrate your birthday with you for the 2nd year in a row. I hope you’ve had a good one, though. And I hope you have a great year ahead Yes, just a year so I can wish you another great year next year. And repeat cycle 93482734 times. Although I probably won’t live to be 93482737 years.

I’m not gonna get all squishy mushy lovey dovey so I’ll just wish you a REALLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Hope you’ll continue to be that awesome person you’ve always been, or awesomer.

Even when evil people are trying to get the best of you.

I know you’ll be strong enough to punch them out of the way

And I hope you’ll be able to take greater jumpshots!

Don’t worry, I only started taking jumpshots at 17 so you’re way ahead of me

And I hope that you’ll be able to make better decisions about the most important things in life, like whether to buy a pink dress or a fuchsia (omg I can’t even spell that word) one?? ZOMG ISN’T THAT LIKE THE HARDEST CHOICE EVER? wth

To end this perfectly awesome post, I shall post a totally hobo photo of us.

Okaylah, here’s a better one

Happy Birthday Zoé!!!

Today was a day of failures. Technically, ‘today’ is yesterday because it’s a new day now but let’s not get too technical.

So I decided to push my boundaries in the world of cooking (waiseh) and TRIED making fettuccine carbonara. Keyword: TRIED, as if that wasn’t obvious enough.

Just like any other time I’m cooking (not that I’ve cooked much but I probably should have) I got all the ingredients ready.

I got the recipe from some random website from Google Search and it looked simple enough so I decided to give it a go. And the end result looks like this…….

It looked OKAY, smelt good and tasted… SWEET.

Honestly, I don’t know what went wrong I followed everything on the recipe.. and my pasta was al dente okay which means my cooking technique isn’t THAT BAD right?? (okay I did waste an egg when I tried to get the yolk. I cracked it too hard and everything just flowed into the sink wth. Thank goodness I was smart enough to crack it by the sink)

I think it was the cream

Anyway, I dumped most of it. Sigh. This is why I didn’t wanna try cooking. Because it can be so wasteful. And I’m no rubbish dump that can gobble up any food that tastes like it belongs in the rubbish bin, which makes it worse.

I think I should stick to making desserts la. They’re so much easier to make.

Sigh. I is sad.

Nah show you sad face wth.

***

Then, I decided to play around with my camera because I was bored and didn’t know what else to do (although I should be doing a lot of unpacking and repacking). I was trying to play around with really low shutter speed and move my hands around to have that whole *insert person with lots of hands* effect.

But like, super fail also hahaha. Most of the photos look like this:

Okay that was a lie. This is actually one of the better shots where my face is relatively clear because I managed to not move it for 2 seconds while moving my arms.

Moral of the story: Theory and practice are two separate things.

I should try using multiple exposure next time but it’s hard to do that when you’re taking photos with A TRIPOD AND SELF-TIMER. *hint hint* Who wants to be my photographer? *bats eyelashes*

Yeah, obviously that didn’t work out.

But what finally worked out were my self-portraits (which never seem to fail me actually wth).

Syok sendiri #1

Syok sendiri #2 I really like this photo (for now)! If I were to be the Prime Minister or some DYMM one day I’ll choose this photo to be hung at all those government offices, which is a very self-cheating thing to do because by then I’d probably be 80 and balding with a beer belly and a sinister smile because I’ve siphoned so much money wth.

Very cheesy pose, which reminds me of those bridal studio photographers who are so annoying. I don’t need go to a studio and pay a bomb to strike a cheesy pose okay! I can do it in my own bedroom thank you very much. The photo’s a bit blur though, because you see, when you use self-timer, the camera doesn’t focus very well. Something I learnt from my extensive experience wth. So.. again.. who wants to be my photographer? I’ll do all the editing myself (unless I don’t have to).

Oh! I watched Ghost Whisperer just now and Melinda’s (that’s her name right?) husband died!

Super tak jadi lor today. I mean yesterday.

That’s all!

Cya!
