21st Birthday cont..

The ones that made it happened

A bunch of us college mates gather at this Korean restaurant at Desa Perdana to celebrate my none other, birthday! PS managed to book a room so we were so gleeful to be crazy without people staring. Only bad thing was we really need to amp up how to attract attention of the waiters because basically we were hiding inside the room.

Meanwhile...

During the actual birthday, I celebrate with my family. Dinner, cake, home-made muffins (from me!!!) and floating tanglung. The usual boring routine. Except, I got awesome pressies! Mostly heirloom and cash. Meh.

My birthday is kinda boring. TA!

21st birthday

I recently celebrate the big Two One in the weekend. I guessed I had too much expectation thats why when everything failed to go according to plan, I felt like beingna loser on my big day. The misery dragged on for the whole weekend but I'm determine to turn things around starting today.

Being 21 is not much different from being any other age. I surely did not grow wings, hit a jackpot or I went clubbing. I'm the same old me, only aged by problems. I felt like I aged another 20 years or so after hearing some issues we're currently facing.

But I know I shouldn't be such a drama queen. I realised it when you said it to me. Sure, it hurt like fuck but it was true anyways. It was a wake up call. I love you. You are my everything.

So excited to finally read my horoscope in CLEO mag March issue. My love match was definitely my one and truly love of my life! And apparently I'm impossible because I get emtional when I feel unappreciated. Happy Birthday Pieces!!!


My life is empty without you.

Hey Boy

Do you know how sad a life can be for a love struck girl?

Loving someone when you know there won't be hope. Loving that particular person till death. Watching him fall for anothergirl and settled down. Loving someone that is the pillar of your happiness but not getting the same considerationback. Being so close yet divided by a million miles. Loving so much till I'm obsessed with him. Falling so hard but not getting anything. Loving so much till my heart can't even hold it anymore.

Missing you like crazy.

Wanting you is an obsession.

Seeing you is the pillar of my happiness.

I think of you all the time, in everything I do, in every fantasy I dream.

It shreads me apart you can't spend my special day with me. All I want is you. Not my family(I love them but compared to you, they don't stand a chance). Not my other besties. Not my babies.

I want you. I need you. I will fade without you. You are my everything.

Hot pink

fresh out of shower

OKay I know it was weird to pose with a 'mushroom' but I really wanna show off how cute my tissue holder looks like. And maybe I wanna look all-pink today. Everything I'm wearing is in the pink or red color primer. Coincidence? Maybe...

I must confess, I adore PINK! Even my little snowflake jacket is Pink. I try to make everything at home, specifically in my room PINK because apparently to others, I don't give an impression of the girly type. Hmph. So I can only secretly pleasure myself while I'm in my room.

Over indulged in PINK is so good!

Since I'm just babbling about nonsense, might as well add in today I pierced my Snowflake lil left horn. Some might go WTF am I talking about. Let me introduce to you, my Snowflake, my lovely white S2 I bought a couple months ago. She has been wearing this lil common pink horn monster rubber casing that TOTALLY matches white and the light of my phone setting.

Today I was cleaning my table and I found a little gold droplet charm that used to hang in my belt. So since I had nothing better to do and it'll totally look so cute with my phone, I pierced the rubber with my sista geometrical pointy pointy tool and used tweezers to maneuver the iron.

Okay I get that it is boring. Well at least I got a lot of compliments about it. :)

Moving on to lesser boring, here is an updated picture of my baby boy, who got adopted many months back. Look at him. Chubby and so cute. Doesn't looked like he changed much. Maybe it has to do with the breed. Only a slightly longer muzzle hair but all in alll, so Adorable!

And lastly, a funky picture of me holding a orange lantern from IKEA. I assembled it all by myself *pat on the head. Very hard one okay, you must own a briliant artistic mind like me; to understand the concept of the lantern. Or maybe I'm exxagerating. My family made me feel like I'm the most briliant assembler ever so of cos I'm a little out of my head.

Did you know how boring it is to be a UCSI-an sometimes. Drove all the way to schooly to attend ECA300 briefing for like 15 min on a no school day and have to spent RM2 on parking, petrol cost and the milk drink I bought cos I was way to thirsty.

Hair cut

*not much difference, but certainly it feels lighter.

I recently got my hair cut, which I had to do because "Words are Poison". My parents kept remarking my hair is so messy, so long, so frizzy. In the end, I too felt it was messy, long and frizzy. Although I love the long part, my hair was really thick and messy. Felt more like a wig and so, I finally got the courage to cut it.

My last known whole head hair cut was in 2010 so I guessed my hair was untrimmed for more than a year plus. Went to saloon with my bestie JY and she and me got our hair cut by male hairstylist who unbeknown to them, JY is furious cause she really hates her current hairstyle. I, on the other hand, am loving it. Love love how it is still long yet it is layered and frames my face.

*My hair used to be a one-length cut.

On plus points, my hair which is naturally curly is showing the curls more obvious than before. I get comments like did I perm my hair.. etc. NATURAL BEAUTY IS THE BEST

I used to have my hair straighten when I was in high school. Pretty much everyone did that, cause we are stupid bitches who don't realise natural hair potential. Hair gets under torture chamber every year and my hair wasn't even black because it was so bleach and toxicated that it some what turn brownish.

I used to get into trouble because teachers and perfects don't believe me when I told them it was my natural hair color and yet they still insist that I dyed it. My dad had to write a letter to the school to declare my innocence. LOL. Memories, aren't they amusing sometimes.

Anyhow, back to my current, beautiful natural hair (kinda not so AL natural tho cause I also dye it every few months or so -_- ) nobody notices my new haircut. Booooooo.. Most comment I received was, it is still the same length.

OMG, they don't understand what is called trimming is it? I don't need another 2009 fiesco to prove my point. It hurts me nobody NOTICES MY HAIR!!! I can spot a haircut within the first 5 min I see someone. I have the eyes of an hawk. Or a stylist; so to speak. Teehee.

Chap Goh Mei - 15th and last day of Chinese New Year

Look at how stupid they looked with plastic bags over their heads because they're afraid of a little drizzle. Pfffff...

The last day of CNY also known as Chap Goh Mei, Chinese Valentine, the day where all holiday mood is declared over after 15 days of merry making and celebration.

So how did you celebrate the last day? Did you follow the custom of mandarin oranges being thrown into the lake? Because for the first time in my 21 years of living, I celebrated Chap Goh Mei. I honestly do not know the existence of this particular event until like recently where I read in the papers the customs of Chinese Valentine. How sad am I?

So, since it was yesterday, the memory is as fresh as an oven baked cookie. I was so excited about throwing mandarin oranges that I did not see how stupid it looks. Apparently you have to write your name and phone number on the orange and throw it into the water and guys will scoop it up and whoever happens to scoop it up will end up being your life partner.

So, in the end, I did not do that because 'seriously'... I don't think it's a safe way to meet new people. And I don't need to throw An Orange since my heart has already been locked up, key thrown away type of forever love. Teehee.

But I still went to Chap Goh Mei event in Taman Jaya Lake. And behold! I've fulfilled one of my life long dream of lighting and setting a floating lantern into the sky. Hopefully it carried my wishes to the heaven.. :)

BTW, when I was about to finally able to light up my lantern, it begun to rain. LOL! I was so nervous it won't be successful because it was drizzling and I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I MUST LIGHT UP AND SEE IT FLOAT or I won't leave. It was lighted up beautifully, flew up to the sky with extreme speed and did not got tangled with the trees and cables or whatsoever.

I must say, I'm SO HAPPY. Even till now, the day was magical because I get to spent it with my loves.

And looked how cute I'm below! 14th day of CNY at Pavilion. A lot of those customary chinese drum dancing going around.

P:S:: Gleaneagles Hospital where my aunt Grace worked as an admin, hired the traditional lion dance for almost RM5,000. OMG!!

RM200 book voucher

Ta-dah!! May I present to you my goodies that I *robbed* from Popular Bookstore. Why did I use such an illegal word to describe my purchases is beyond any common logical thinking but I guessed this is the best I can describe my loot.

The above only cost RM156.45 and I kinda never bought so many things at one go before and so unlikely I will ever again. In case you are wondering, I still have the last piece of RM50 voucher; waiting to be exchanged ASAP.

Now now, did you think I spent all on myself? NEVER!! Eventhough I really would love to. I bought the Jazz cd for my mum; RM50 gone like that, some mandarin novels for my dad (which OMG I had to ask 3 different people to translate for me on the spot, but all smiles cause the guy was kinda cute!!! Tho he reacts differently on what he thought of me... haiyoh) and PMR revision books for my sister.

And the rest some stationaries, a Mouse and finally a bottle for me. I've been using those office-like-water-bottle and I looked so serious when I bring it to school. Hence I bought a cute red lady bug which is unlike the usual *Amanda, who critizes people for using stuff that are way over rated by their age.

Let me tell you a story about my previous deceased dino bottle.

On one fine day, I brought my bottle along to bff's car and forgotten to take it home afterwards. Unfortunately the bottle got lost in between (and God knows where it is now) and bff denied that it was his fault thus I start my new sem without a good bottle. So whose fault is it? He said his mum could have thrown it away thus the mysterious dissappearance.

I still blame him though.

Back to the main topic, I love my RM200 voucher!!! I bought random stuff at 0 cost. Thank you Goverment, but then the cash is originally from the tax payers which in the end, we have to applaude ourselves? Huh? :)

Beauty in the Eyes

Honestly speaking, this fine piece of poetry was not written by me. I copied it from idk where back in 2007. Probably from the newspaper since I don't own the internet back then.

Your beauty makes my heart skip a beat
Every time our eyes meet
Your beauty is my delight
Your beauty knows no height.

Your beauty is in your eyes
Which sunk the deep blue skies
Your beauty will never fade
Cause you are the best thing God has made.

Your beauty is like the sun shining in the day
When I look at you, I can't look away
Your beauty is in your smile
It makes a second with you worth while.

Your beauty is in your hair
Your beauty has none to compare
Your beauty is a sign
Of how lucky I'm if you were mine.

Good luck trying to speak this lovely words to your partner// or shall I say soon to be gf/bf during Valentines? :)
