Stupid idiot

2012-01-11T15:23:00.000+08:00

Woke up in the middle of the night feeling like an idiot because something came up in my mind!

You see, I had already went and buy an early morning ticket back for the four-weeks semester break and it's for those normal busses that stops in Hentian Duta/Puduraya!

Puduraya. I bloody hate that place. So bloody congested, and the people just stares at you in a funny way.Every single time I go in, and get out of the building I feel so dirty and disgusted. It doesn't make me feel safe, it smells of exhaust smoke, and the people stare in such a way that makes you feel like you don't want to fucking know what's going on in their mind at that very moment. I hate it, and I would try avoid it as much I can.

Best thing is, come next week I'll be uhm what's the opposite of boarding? Yeah, I'll be doing that from my bus in Puduraya, with my 9071317 luggage.

Uh huh. As per tradition, we have to move every single thing out of the hostel room and move back in again four weeks later, into the same bloody room. Plus we only get to keep TWO boxes of stuff in the common storeroom, so for the last two years my dad would come pick me and my load of stuff back - filling the entire boot space back seat of the car. But he then decided it wasn't worth the hassle and the money spent on the trip anymore so I had figure it out myself. Last sem it was YK who helped me with my stuff as she drove back to KL. This sem.. T_________T

Fuck lah I should have bought Aeroline instead, at a later time!

Gahhh why did I not think of it! At least with Aeroline I've got people help carry in and carry out the luggages, and it stops at Sunway/1U/KLCC where I can chill for a couple hours BECAUSE I JUST REALISED THAT : nobody would be able to pick me up in the afternoon! T_____T Mom dad and even brother are going to be working! Even if my mom can get an hour off, she doesn't know the way to Puduraya or those mentioned malls! asdfghjkl; T______T

I dread the packing up of all my stuff in this room,
and the amount of bag I'd have to carry back and take the bus. GAHHHHH.

Hair crazy

2012-01-10T17:58:00.000+08:00

Whoots, two papers done done done and just one more till the semester break!
Omg we're totally halfway down the exam season and believe it or not I still don't feel it!
The pressure's not there, and I doubt it'll come in anytime soon. Guess am just chillin' this sem then wtf
Anyways the last paper for this sem - looking back, we hardly learned anything from the lecturer!
No notes, no slides, no tips, book also cannot pakai (translated from English, in a terrible terrible way). How now brown cow?

So I've started using this shampoo lately because the previous one suddenly wasn't compatible with my hair, and this new one's great so far - my hair's all fluffy and soft immediately right after I shower! Usually kan after I shower I'll pull my hair together to one side, twist it like a tornado wtf and squeeze it dry, then it'll just stay tightly huddled in a neat bunch after. After using this one, right after squeezing it dry like that, with just a slight shake with my fingers the hair comes apart so easily. Don't know if it's actually a good sign for my overall hair health but whatever it makes drying easier and looks fabulous after it's all air-dried so yeah I like it. Fluffeh and messy whoots! :D

That said, here are some hair pictures that I rather fancy.

Now whatever made you think this was going to be

an intellectual blog entry with real depth and whatnots? ;)

I would love this a bit more for myself if the curls were just slightly looser!

Aren't these hair colours beautiful?

Beautiful, yet hardly achievable in everyday life for an Asian.

This is perfect - the warm colour, the loose curls/waves, the slight mess!

This one I really like too - a slightly more mature look.

Very pretty. It looks so soft and touchable!

See the recurring theme here? :D

It's all about VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME!

Ultimate dream hair : Blake Lively/Serena Van Der Woodsen's.
That, or the usual glamourous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway styles!

Or just platinum blonde all the way, regardless of style.
Think so blonde it's almost white. Think Gwen Stefani. Fuck yeah.

Looking at pictures of pretty hair and watching Gossip Girl during my exam week.
Yeap, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Cannot save already hahahaha!
Pictures credits to the World Wide Web, by the way. Thank you Internet people, mwahs!

Besto. Kurisumasu. Purasento. Eva.

2012-01-05T17:31:00.000+08:00

No, best present received at any time, ever! (*≧▽≦)

Tadaaaaaa! ♥ In a nice big brown box,

decorated with Alice in Wonderland and Christmas themed cutouts.

Opened to find...all these waiting to be molested!

And a candy cane, a red white candy cane complete with a little bell! (*＾▽＾)

First up - a souvenir tee from Hong to the Kong!

Funny story, I changed into this to go out for dinner with the family that day,

and out came my brother from his room wearing his I ♥ NY tee, not knowing better!

The next day, I wore my I ♥ NY tee I get from my aunt, and he wore the same tee again! (￣-￣)

ALSO, THIS THIS THIS! ☆彡

The most gorgeous black skull studded wrist clutch purse!
Isn't it absolutely divine? Gawd I love classic black skulls like these!

Apparently this is meant for those clubbing nights hahahaha supportive tak wtf ♥

What's in the Sephora bag?
What's shiny black with a touch of bold red?

THIS OMFFFFG! (≧∇≦) Hello Friggin' Kitty. In black and red lagi.
Isn't it funny that I'm crazy for Hello Kitty, but only when they're NOT in pink?

But hey that's not all there is to it. It's a friggin' makeup palatte!

In the most gorgeous shimmery and matte eyeshadows, and two rows of lip gloss!
I've tried them, and the colours blend really smoothly. Fucking best thing ever.

The back. Just because.

Find the hidden Hello Kitty wtf

Last, but certainly not the least, at the bottom of the box lies...

Hello Kitty's Sweet Happy Fun Book! *jumps in glee (*･∀･)

Just pages, pages and pages of brightyly coloured Hello Kitty information and whatnots!

Iron-on patches, stickers, and even a detailed Hello Kitty profile measurement!

I've actually heard of this book, but thought it was sold out and mourned a little until I got this!

There's even a replica of the Sanrio theme park in Japan's ticket.

Did thought of going, but tickets start from RM120 and above wtf man

Dah lah nak pergi Disneyland/DisneySea lagi. Kyoto lagi. Bankrupt! But so worth it teehee!

Thank you so very much for these perfectly thoughtful and amazing gifts!
Mwah mwah mwah so much love for youuuuuuu! （*＾＾）＾*）*kiss ♥

Self-insert wtf hehe I stuck the cutouts on my mirror, 'cause it's too whimsical and cute!

Happy 2012! :)

2012-01-02T04:18:00.000+08:00

Think it's good time to wrap up the past year and say a few words for 2012 :)

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you guys the best of this new year. A great 2012!
I know many have had a horrid year ~~two days ago~~ last year, and I really want to see smiling faces all around me in this coming year because nothing would make me more at ease ♥ When good friends are at war with some inevitable internal/external demons, it frustrates me so much that I can't do much for them and it kinds of makes me a little restless from worry. So let this be a good year, to everyone around me whom I care about. You, you, you, you and you! To Arashi!

Hahahahaha sorry that was just supposed to be funny, to lighten things up! ;)

Truthfully though, I've had a pretty good 2011. It had it's downs, but I think there were more ups.
I know I got really into Tumblr hahahaha and that distracted me to a certain extent, because my fire for Arashi did mellowed down a little (saying this while simultaneously downloading their three recent performances wtf) to a more stable and calm stage I suppose. Yeah I'm actually smiling to myself a little here over that statement, hahahaha! But I really do hope 2012's going to be a good year for Arashi, I want them to keep the momentum going to that when I go to Japan in July they're still going to be everyfuckingwhere!

Uh huhhhh, the best thing to look forward to in this new year - TRIP TO JAPAN! :D

In case you haven't heard from all my status updates and whatnots (like that girl Arti), YES I'VE BOOKED MYSELF A TICKET TO JAPAN!! It's the ultimate dream come true, and I could just die happy as soon as I land my feet in Tokyo hahahaha! Return tickets, including in-flight meals, insurance, reserved seats, return bus fares from LCCT-KL Central and taxes whatnots came up to only RM1000! BARGAIN OR WHAT. I'll be there for an entire week in mid-July, just after I finish my last semester and I plan to visit Japan every year from this year on. Serious. I'll seriously save for it every year and just go - it's going to be my own challenge for myself. Since I'm so devoid of life goals kan wtf

In 2011, also met someone amazing who has been making me feel pretty good for the past nine months (and many more months to come, I dearly hope!) ♥ Then I was appointed the Marketing Communications Director for my final year project - which is going to kill me in so many ways but I'm honoured enough to actually feel excited about working my cute little ass off next semester! It's the final semester good lawd how on earth did we get here from just being innocent little freshmen two and half years ago? Speaking of freshmen, that whole legend/myth/superstition of the Freshmen 15 (read up if you're not familiar!) apparently isn't that exclusive to the freshmen year wtf nor is it really bound to 15. I'm pretty darn sure it's a case of Entire Time Span of Being in University 50 for me wtf. I reaaaally need to get back to those fit days, however short-lived they were. Boy I miss those jogging at Gelora times with TKL and the rest, how we would always pig out on keropok/currypuff/laksa at GP after that and still managed to get relatively fit! I now look at my old pictures in envy and how ridiculously good looking I was back then wtf

Goodness last year was the ultimate ketamakan year - we did nothing but find places to eat and just continue eating! Late night suppers past midnight, to the extent of frequent car-renting and day outs where we hunt for food all days long hahahaha even now we have plans for a full day of food day out! I would say that the major recurring theme for 2011 was - KETAMAKAN! Did quite a bit of partying as well hahahaha up to three times a week, and got drunker more times than I should have! Those two Queen Bees we're even more hardcore! ;)

As for people, some drifted away a little (but still within grasp, thank goodness) and some opened up a little bit more. It's been two and half years that I've been in university and it still amazes me that types of people that make the world. But I guess without these differences - whether positive or negative, the world wouldn't be such a darn interesting one huh? ;) Thank God for the colours and spices of life! There's always going to be dimwits whose life purpose would seem to be to frustrate the living daylights out of rational, sensible people like us but at the end of the day, don't you think they make for pretty good topic conversations and for us to laugh ourselves silly at too? If I could choose to have a daily reminder of something for myself, I'd make it be that I never forget my ~~really awesome~~ sense of humour. I guess that'd be my best defense against the evils of the world hahahaha more reasons to get that tattoo I've had in mind huh! ;)

Well this has been an eye opening entry. There'a a certain clarity of mind right now and it's good that I am here to put it out in words for future reference. Goodness knows I get distracted easily enough. It's already 4.16am anyways, last I checked it was only about 1.00am after watching the Victoria's Secret Show 2011 in Star World, in high definition oh yeahhh! As a final word, I want to say thank you to you guys. Thank you for being there for me, thank you for coming to me, thank you for putting effort in understanding me, thank you for wanting my happiness, thank you for making my life a good one, and just thank you so very much for being yourselves in spite of everything else that's going on ♥ So much love for you guys, you know who you are! Going to go to bed now, goodnight loves!

The Naya Rivera Appreciation Post

2012-01-02T03:15:00.000+08:00

So Naya Rivera is really really hot. Like really reaaaaally hot.
Just in case that name didn't ring any bells, how about this - Santana Lopez. Glee.

asdfgorgeoushjkl;

THIS

Isn't she absolute perfection? ♥ Just look - WOAR WOAR WOAR I DREAMT OF THIS MOMENT BEFORE! But yes, just look at how mind-numbingly gorgeous she is - her eyes, her caramel skin tone, her long luscious hair, her pouty lips. Damnnnn! Even in this candid photo below she looks absolute stunning! Imagine someone looking like that walking across the street, betcha you won't stop ~~stalking~~ staring! ;)

Call me obsessive, but I love looking at her in motion as much as in pictures. The way she moves and her little facial expressions - perfectly executed for that sultry smokin' vixen character. And boy is that character fun! Santana Lopes tells it as it is, and she stirs up nothing but trouble in McKinley High. That Candy Striper / Kissing Booth episode, hot damnnnnn! One of the highlights of my 2011 hahahaha!

Annoyingly enough she wasn't featured that much in the first season, but right now she's getting quite some solos going on (is it Season Three or Four now?) and I'm nothing but delighted over it! Her voice - sultry sultry liquidy voice that is made of chocolate bliss ♥ Not quite sure how the chocolate comes into the description but it just popped in my mind okay!

I wasn't even the slightest interested in Adele until I heard this:

The first time I heard it was on Tumblr, the full acapella version and I just fell in love with Naya's voice!
Been loving that "Someone like you" song ever since then. So much emotions, and the way she (Naya, not Adele. but Adele's fine too.) expressed it. Oh and her recent version of Santa Baby - oh the yummy! I just love voices like hers - Mesmerizing, beautiful beautiful beautiful! ♥

Confession - I've always got this thing for troubled angsty characters who just holds in their emotions and only very rarely do you catch that glimpse of vulnerability.- especially only when it comes to matters of the heart. Like Edward Elric wtf strange example but that came up first in my mind or uhm that Nishikido Ryo character in One Litre of Tears or Draco Malfoy in those last few ~~books~~ ~~fanfictions~~ books. Wow lookit that, the variety of my fandoms hahahahah! Pictures and gifs are credited to the world wide web and the fabulous people at tumblr, by the way! Mwahs!

Sassy and smokin'!

Now isn't she worth this post and so much more? ♥

Her co-star, Dianna Agron's one of a kind of beauty too - inspiring, unbelievably down-to-earth, beautiful in the most classic sense and adorably quirky. But that's a story for another day! ;)

Back to December

2011-12-30T01:25:00.007+08:00

I think I've always been a sad person by default.

Rather than being depressed because something bad happened,

something good has to happen to make me NOT feel depressed.

Thought growing up would change things, thought growing up would make me happy.

But sometimes I just feel as if nothing's going to change no matter how hard I try.

If this is really who I am, why am I trying so fucking hard to fight it?

Because I want to be happy, that's why.

But I'm not.

I hate Decembers.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

2011-12-17T02:28:00.003+08:00

Terribly neglected kan, blog ini?
Can't quite organize my thoughts with coherency right now,
so let them many many yummy pictures speak for themselves! :D
Below are pictures of food stuff I had in the past weeks/month or so.

Starbucks. Good lawd the amount of Starbucks I had lately. Three times already this week!
Whether it's to camp there all day to get some work done, or just a quick tapao...sigh. Recently discovered and got super addicted to this one particular drink - green tea soy latte ♥ Perfect balance of green tea bitterness and mellow soy to balance it all out into pure perfection. (Repetitive gila) Not sure if it tastes as good iced, but a nice hot cup on any weather is happiness! This addiction is further encouraged by having friends who work in several Starbucks all over Penang. Thankfully, they only work very part-time! ;)

Levain Boulangerie Patisserie. Don't even know how to bloody pronounce it,
but boy do they know how to make bread. Or any kind of food served there. Or desserts. Or macaroons. I'm a total bread person, and stepping into that place was absolute heaven. All sorts of temptingly fresh bread to pick from, and a variety of pasta and (really really tasty!) pizza as well. The mushroom soup I had was good too, really thick, creamy and heavily textured with chopped pieces of mushrooms ♥ Fortunately, I missed the desserts section and only saw it after I stood quite a while in line and ordered the main courses. Otherwise I would really have been unstoppable, especially with the choice of macaroons.. Word of warning though, a full meal ain't exactly cheap.

Zhu chap chouk near Petaling Street! Sorry ah pinyin fail wtf.
Let's just say it's a nice hot bowl of scrumptious porridge with pork innards. Not so much up to my taste as my favourite zhu chap chouk in Penang, but still pretty damn good with a nice touch of crunchiness contributed by those deep fried pork..something. Just amazing on a chilly rainy day mmmmm ALSO, THOSE MEATBALLS. Soft, salty, succulent and oh-so-tasty. Best meatballs I've ever had! Yes, best! Uhm second picture is just a simple breakfast I made for myself when I was in KL. Simple buttered toast, and eggs with cheese and pepper ♥ So delicious, and made me look forward to mornings (or rather, noon) so much more!

Antipodean at Telawi Street, Bangsar. Known for their coffee,
but I'm hardly the person to comment on the quality of coffee. I'm more of a tea (or in this particular case, strawberry milkshake!) person. Dessert person too, but Antipodean's dessert really sucked. The lemon meringue was a disappointment. Not even mediocre, it just sucked. Oh that's the book I was reading then - Fruit Hunters, just RM10 from the Big Bad Wolf sale. That's a really good book, very informative with lots of never-before-known fruit-knowledge and I just couldn't stop reading until I finished it. Did you know that there's a type of berry where after having just one bite of it, any sour food you eat for the next couple of hours will taste amazingly sweet! It's so amazing that it was actually banned in America for fear of the affecting the sugar industry. There is also a type of fruit that looks exactly like a woman's sex but I forgot the name. Good luck Googling wtf. Back to my main theme, that's a plate of chicken lying on a bed of grilled tomatoes and long beans (or was it asparagus?) in some balsamic sauce. So good, tangy and not too overly sharp. Yums!

Fried quail's egg with fish sauce and soy sauce, Penang. Rose soda float, and Sprite float, Melaka.
Went with my aunt's friends from Germany around Penang, KL and Melaka recently. The first picture's from this Thai Buddhist Temple in Penang where they so happen had a little food/culture fair in aid of the flood victims. It's one of those must-visits for tourists in Penang, because they've got this huge Sleeping Buddha figure in there and the interior's quite beautiful really. We also tried the famous coconut ice-cream selling outside the temple, and some spicy but so addictive somtam from the fair! The next picture's nothing special really. Took a break at the Old Town near Dataran Pahlawan after a long day of walking and exploring ~~and eating~~. The rose soda float was really refreshing, and smells lovely. Very pretty too, teehee.

Breakfast buffet at the Holiday Inn, Penang.
That was just the first round. A yummy variety of ham slices, salad, yogurt, bread, jam, cereal, pancake, syrup, fruits, eggs, noodles and so much more! Confession - I love buffets, especially breakfast buffets. I love the many different choices of food that I won't usually get everyday. Like ham. And yogurt. And lettuce. And almonds. Just look at all the almonds I heaped on the bowl of rice puff cereal and milk ♥ Think I ate enough vegetables to fulfill my daily recommended requirement for the week wtf. On the right is a banana split from this restaurant along Batu Feringghi. Beautifully landscaped with koi fishes in their ponds, fountains, soft lighting, lush hanging plants and a garden featuring many monkeycup plants and flowers. Food? Only so-so.

Food shared is food enjoyed! :)
Had a potluck picnic with the Adwavians at the Penang Youth Park. So much food! A whole chocolate cake, cupcakes, bunches of fruits, two tupperwarefulls of yummy fruit salad, fried mihun, KFC (generously sponsored by Dr Shu), a whole tong of drinks and junkfoooood. Of course we couldn't finish them! We weren't going to donate anything to the monkeys stalking us either. At one point one came so near to us and we all got so scared but still want to be brave to protect our food, so funny okaaaay! Reminded me of the incident at TC Kuantan last time with the gang hahahaha and up until today Zhen Ru still remember that the monkeys stole our Super Ring wtf grudging much? ;) Next one is the Sushi King Bonanza whoots! Went with the Perak Gang, and had so much fun choosing, hogging, snatching and booking those platefuls of RM2 sushi! Probably the only time I go so crazy over Sushi King hahahaha it was so good, and so bloody worth it! The salmon slices were so generous it was long enough to wrap around the rice in a circle okay. Shit, damn craving now.

This restaurant by the road near..Ampang?
In a white building that looks like a summer mansion, but a pretty structure. The food's a little pricey, but what I love about this place is that they decorate every table with a small vase of beautiful live roses and baby breaths. A very nice touch, and they smell lovely. The interior of this restaurant's is quite pretty, with soft pastels and cafe-like ambiance. I had this fish (cod, is it?) carbonara, I think. Don't remember lah. >____< It was quite delicious. Creamy, and the fish was soft and flavourful. Next came the desserts, which were locally made gelato and really weren't that great. Don't think I'd really have the craving to come back here again, because for the price we're paying, there's so many more prettier places that offer better quality food. But that said, I wouldn't mind coming back here again lah if ada orang nak datang cuba.

Favourite place ever for a cheap quick yummy lunch/dinner - Marufuku, Jaya One.
Prices ranging from around RM6 and above for a bowl of noodles (mostly udon ) and even -dons , the food's absolutely satisfying and delicious. My favourite's the Marufuku trademark udon as pictured on the left, just udon noodles with half-cooked egg and a little broth at the bottom. Simple, delicious and satisfying, especially if you love eggs! The yakitori served there is really amazing too, you can choose between soysauce-grilled or salt-grilled. Love the salt-grilled one! Salt-grilled chicken parts and innards, okra, shiitake mushrooms and even chicken skin all perfectly salty and grilled. SO GOOD. A typical meal for two with noodles, green tea and a few extra side orders usually costs less than RM25. Been here so often the people there know us! I'm so coming here again during Study Week holidays next week! :D After a nice meal there, desserts are usually at The Bee nearby for some heavenly Last Polka ice-creams. Featured above are flavours in French Toast and Guinness. They even have nutella, strawberry cheesecake and teh tarik! Last I heard, they updated their flavours with rum & raisins, can't wait to go try it out! :D

Strawberry Forever, Penang. All about strawberries!

Got this sweet deal off Groupon for only RM20 or so - chocolate fondue set for two and a strawberry pudding each! Strangely enough, the fondue isn't actually an item from the menu. Which is a waste, because it was absolutely crazily gooood! The chocolate sauce was done perfectly, not too sweet and not too bitter either. Even Grobe who's not really a sugar person liked it very much! :) We sat here for a couple hours using their speedy wifi and just chillin', slowly nomming our desserts as Ciara and YK came to join us later. Truthfully, the normal stuff there are so not worth the price at all, and not that great. But this, this fondue, was done so well I wish it was on the menu so we can get the whole BBP to come and share it!

Wow I was planning to just put in a sentence or two for each picture, but look how it turned out. I guess I'm a natural after all! ;)　

The Big Bad Wolf strikes!

2011-10-17T02:51:00.000+08:00

Stuff of legends wtf
I've heard about it, I've seen the posters all around and I've angsted over NOT being able to attend it.
BUT NOT THIS YEAR. THIS YEAR I SURE AS HELL GOT MY BOOK-LOVING ASS THERE! :D I've nothing but praises for how they handled such a huge event! Okay maybe not, probably got a complain or two but was truly impressed by the management and system they had there. Well done Book Xcess (or whoever was in charge of it.YK reckons they've hired an agency for the event management and publicity, which is most probably true because they would obviously need an expert in events to organize such a huge one was this), well done!

So I took last last week off from university and head down to KL/Sitiawan for some family matters. While in Sitiawan, found out my brother's won two media passes for a day ahead visit to the book fair, only open to the media! YES, that means millions of books and we'd be the very firsts to sift through and grab them bargains like nobody's business! But sadly, as much as we contemplated over and over driving to KL for a day-trip, it just wasn't right. So we stayed on in Sitiawan. T_______T Eh but kan I don't think I've seen him very often reading a book lah, lately he's been buying so many books, hundreds even ever since the last Big Bad Wolf sale but everytime I see him he's stuck in front of the laptop playing online games -____- He even got a brand new bookshelf for his room and it's all filled to the brim already. More than half of which I reckon he's yet to even started reading! I DON'T EVEN!

Anyways, we were driving back to KL from Sitiawan in two cars and he didn't even stop by at home before speeding of to the Big Bad Wolf sale in Serdang (which is thankfully, could be considered nearby!). I was following my dad's car so we went home to unload all the stuff and luggages, before YK came by to pick me up and off we went to the sale! TAPI TETIBA KESESATAN JALAN! EPIC! T__________T I was so excited tak sabar-sabar, sempat lagi imagine how it would be like and how I would start book-hunting, then suddenly we're on goodness knows what highway like tepi-tepi bergunung-ganang hutan-belutan all. SCARY OKAY, like on the way to Seremban already wtf AND THEN CAR NO PETROL ALMOST SAMPAI EMPTY DAH. Highway damn bloody endless some more have to pass by three tolls, one ringgit each! By the time reach the book fair kat MAEPS, Serdang near UPM, both damn mangzhang (irritable) already wtf also, they should have put more banners and directions to the Big Bad Wolf Sale, especially in that UPM/Serdang area itself.

Commercial break - guess who's got a feather headband! ;D ♥

Okay back to the story. Sampai-sampai there (like forty minutes later perhaps?), woar MAEPS is huge! Even from the numerous parking lots all over, the building seems small and far away! Damn I should have taken a picture kan? Damn excited that time until lupa dunia already. So randomly park somewhere, and saw that there were shuttle busses everywhere. Brownie point count - one! Along one stretch of the road, there will be at least two or three busses to shuttle you to the Exhibition Hall so people don't really have to wait actually. Which is really great, because that place's so barren and the sun's so terribly sunny.

BOOK SALE HAUL ONE.

The shuttle stopped along the entrance of the hall and there were tents lined up for the comfort of those who have to queue up. Luckily, the queue wasn't that long and they were letting people in in batches of twenty-thirty people so it was quick. There were even stalls (I think?) selling food/drinks at the sides, with tables and chairs ready. Brownie point count - two! Went in, and mind went blank like those dream-comes-true moment. I think i stopped breathing for a bit as well, it was that huge and that awesome! Piles and piles of books stacked on each other, as far as the my eyes can see. AND THEN I ATTACKED THEM.

SO FRIGGIN' DIRT CHEAP! In this first trip, I bought a total of 19books for RM174! Got three cookbooks - Nigella's Christmas (don't judge me), Japanese Kitchen (not that surprising huh) and Jamie Oliver (for Mins) for RM20-R25 each. Some Saiyuki and Samurai Deeper Kyo for RM3 each (original price about RM35 okay!), classics - Oliver's Twist and Emma for RM6 each, Reading Lolita in Tehran and Red Azalea that I've always wanted, and other random books that looks interesting. Also got the Natalie Wood one on a whim, because I watched the short series of her life on Hallmark for quite a few times last time, and thought her gorgeous. Besides, it's only RM8, if I didn't like it I can just give it to anyone. Would have gotten more if the box I was holding wasn't so terribly heavy!

Free three years of Book Xcess membership, whoots! :D

Time nak bayar for the books kan, there were a surprising number of cashier counters lined up from one end to the other, and each had ANOTHER cashier counter in front. Meaning it was like a two-layers kind of row of cashier counters. Brownie point count - three! They had at least three staff assisting in each counter too so the payment process was really quick. They sorted the books according to the prices, and the person behind the cashier will key it in accordingly. AND if there's just too many books for the owner to carry, they'll get a porter to trolley them out to the pick up point for you! Brownie point count - four!

At the pick up point, either you or your friend will be given a tag so that they can drive in to pick up the books at the Exhibition Hall exit. There'll also be people selling drinks under the tents set up, complete with chairs for you to sit and rest while you jaga the books. Then bila your friend sampai with his/her car, the staff on standby there will help you with the books, carrying them for you to where you want to put them. Brownie point count - four! If only they had more staff at this point though, because nobody helped us. The few of them were too busy layaning some questions, and not even one came to help though they were right in front of us. Boo them. And tak cukup signs to guide people to the pick up point! Grr, makan them brownies balik!

BOOK SALE HAUL TWO! :D

Well that wasn't going to stop us! I went back for another round with my dad and brother the next day! :D The Harmony Silk Factory for RM8, been wanting to read that for so long! The Principles of Uncertainty for RM10, whimsical illustrations on every colourful page, love how utterly random it is. And there's some other books that seem interesting enough! I must confess though, am such a total sucker for nicely done front covers. Like The Elephant Keeper and Ben Okri's Starbook, stories I wouldn't usually be brave enough to step out of my comfort zone and buy for myself. Am also a sucker for books about life during the old Japan times, or old China history. Especially books on the Cultural Revolution, and geishas wtf. I can't wait to read them books one by one, and not having to slow myself down just because I'm worried I won't have anything else to read after. I know right, am such a book nerd! :D

Lookity look, guess again who got what for me! :D ♥

A charming little weekly scheduler/organizer, beautifully done with vintage-like brown paper inside. Goodness knows I've been looking for THIS book for years, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Of course, pretty much all the big bookstores sell it, but I want it cheap! I want it dirt cheap! Am never going to pay full price for books anymore! ;D So yeah let this gorgeous little scheduler be a preview of the great book that I will one day have. That, and Murakami. Book Xcess, you'd better stock them soon! ;D

Green tea frapp is always relevant

2011-10-02T15:46:00.000+08:00

Funny how time flies so quickly. As cliche as it sounds, it's very much how I feel.
A year ago, I attended the funeral of my grandmother. Another year back, I was attending colourful events with equally colourful people in Penang. And now, here I am on a rainy day, sipping my green tea frappucino and talking like an old cat lady reminiscing past glories. This year has been good to me though, so far. Best of all, I found love, in the most unexpected of place and person ♥

Penang's weather is so unpredictable, especially during the last quarter of the year. Wow look at me talking about the weather. I clearly have nothing much else to say. To be honest though, I only opened this page to start a new post because I've got nothing else to do while I wait for the epic Arashi commercials for AU KDDI smartphones to finish downloading. and Facebook is getting on my nerves lately. Too much, Zuckerberg, too much. But seeing as it's the only portal through which I can contact people (MSN lays forgotten) and heck, even 20% of my grades for Japanese comes from posting up stuff on our Facebook group wtf so cannot go cold turkey totally emo Facebook.

Oh and have you heard, I've become a sort of a baby nommer lately. You know how in primary school you always hear of those old witches/bomohs/shamans who noms young kids so they can maintain their youthful looks? Yah, I've turned into that lately. Especially ridiculously adorable little babies whose cheeks grow sideways into fluffy marshmallows, and them fat tiny little hands! OMNOMNOM! But Grobe always say cannot cannot, she don't let me nom them. Boo her. :(

Monochromatic. Yes/No?

2011-10-02T01:49:00.005+08:00

Why hello there! Kind of went under the radar after the ke-over-an of the last post huh! ;)

News is, I'm back in Penang! The new semester has started and crazy how time flies and suddenly I'm already in my third year. License to go all cocky on the juniors huh hahahaha! I know I said I was totally going to blog about some things and even made a list and all. Well screw that. I'm way too lazy to dig up and blow the dust off them memories. Let memories be memories, eh? :) ♥ (EXCUSES WTF) One thing I'm really going to do though, is to talk about the great time I had celebrating my birthday with the happy shiny people!

Not now though wtf for I have visited the Forever21 shop in Queensbay and spend some good time camwhoring while trying on clothes! Gawd that was such a good day, just escaping to Queensbay on a weekday afternoon with the Grobe, then going all ketamakan with Japanese food and trying on pretty clothes. It's like a tradition dah hahahaha when both have no class, mari kita serang Queensbay! :)

Okay F21 is totally running dry of dresses lately, I don't get their latest collection/trend! Like, wtf bring them sinfully sexy cute dresses of past seasons back! It used to be that I would refrain myself from looking around F21 too much for fear of falling in love with ridiculously overpriced prettiness that I cannot afford yet cannot live a day without pining/itching for them. Now, it's like round dua puluh kali pun susah nak cari something that I'd really really like to wear. Which is actually different from saying that there isn't anything that I like. I like many many things there that I find aesthetically pleasing but I know I could never wear or pull off unless I start adopting an eating disorder or two. And also because sometimes they're just not my style. Uh huh, I so AM picky like that.

and so the other day, I FOUND THIS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS DRESS! :D

Note how it fits in all the right places, and the material feels so comfortable and well, worth the price. Can't stand those flimsy, practically see-through tops and simple dresses that costs bloody three figures. F21 are so good at doing that. I don't even understand where all the money goes! What, into gallons of bleach for the clothes to thin out for that transparent, worn-out effect? Or into decorating with store with bright shiny things and good rockin' music? Yeah, that must be it.

But as I was saying, isn't that the most fab dress over! Plus it looks good on my skin tone and my uhm fuller figure wtf. Cinched in the right places, puffed out slightly at the needed areas and fits so snugly on where it matters without looking too much of a try-hard. How is this not love? :) ♥ BUT THIS PIECE OF AWESOME COSTS RM109 WTF which is truthfully, pretty reasonable sort of. but as fate/luck/life/whatever would have it, I just happen to be someone who hardly buys anything that needs me to fork out more than RM30 FML.

Well, if I can't bloody own it, might as well make that best of it by taking loads of pictures and cheating people into thinking that I actually have an enviable wardrobe by setting it as my Facebook profile picture wtf

Sorry, snowflake interruption alert! Too much boobies hanging about. Not recommended for general audiences wtf even the originally-risque picture on the right has been Photoshopped for the safe viewing of acquaintances and family members on Facebook. But do agree with me that my hair looks great in those pictures! Sadly in reality it only lasts like fifteen seconds after I fluff them with my hands, and then it turns into some healthy-looking but really limp flat hair. Which I don't like. Yes, bring me my brightly-coloured messy unhealthy fluffy hair anytime! Ke-dollarsign-ha! ;D and is it just me, or does plain colourless contact lenses suit me better? :D

Gawd I'm so thankful that my skin have been good to me lately ever since I used this amazing toner that made SUCH a difference in the quality of my skin. Who knew looking around Watsons for the cheapest bargain for a toner could lead to such an improvement in my shallow life. Perhaps I'll do a post on it soon, here. Pfft not that I'll even be paid for the free advertising, but hell it DID made my skin look great so it deserves that at least. Why am I talking about a bottle of toner like it's the most important thing in my life?

So yeah as you would have already known, it was my birthday almost exactly a month ago DEAR LAWD I JUST REALISED THAT. A MONTH. Time, can slow down a little bit ah my brain cannot catch up. A couple of days prior to that, I got a message on Facebook from someone telling me that he'd like to send a gift for my birthday. Remember this picspam post? Uh huh, the same kind friend from Japan wishes to give me a gift for my birthday. And a perhaps about a week ago, I received it! :D

It came in a pretty pale blue paper wrapping bearing a beautiful sakura motif fabric photoframe, a simple but lovely birthday card and a tiny little stuffed teddy keychain.♥ So much thought and kindness from A-san! Thank you thank you thank you! I'll have to put together a nice gift for his family and him for Christmas nanti. Maybe more of those Penang white coffee? :)

In the words of Sho-kun, " こんなの初めて！" ♥

2011-09-01T02:03:00.002+08:00

Warning: PICTURE HEAVY.
Such is my first time in the City of Entertainment! Spent several hours editing these pictures, I ain't going to waste all that effort! （＾＿－）Seriously though, should be paid for all the hard work, making those pictures I took look remotely appealing isn't so easy as clicking a button! But since I'm not getting paid for all the advertising, might as well tell the truth and clarify that pictures may ~~very much~~ differ from the real thing. It was kind of..shabby and like, takde effort to do things properly like that. AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Don't even get me started.

So with that said,
yes I went for a little daytrip to Genting Highlands last last Friday! (＾∇＾) It was this episode of Himitsu-chan where Sho-kun got forced on a roller coaster with Oh-chan and basically dieded there that made me want to go to a theme park for some thrill and fun fun fun! but uhm as expected, I uhm chickened out and didn't really went crazy with the rides. Ahem. Don't judge meh.

Cable ride up.
A little fail while looking for a parking space at the cable car building place area thing, went around it a couple times but still couldn't find the entrance and then somemore drive against a one-way bus lane like a boss wtf quite funny really. The panic and the confusion. Teehee.

Obligatory let's-take-a-picture-with-someone-who-is-driving picture!

Sampai-sampai the parking area and getting out from the car, whoooo the air outside is so much cooler than the air inside the car, even with the aircon on! (Warning: plethora of redundant interjections involving the awesome-as-hell weather starts now) Then it started drizzling a little, the kind of light rain where the surrounding world quiets down to a hush and the air feels so incredibly fresh. I FRIGGIN LOVE IT! ♥

Getting on the cable car, all tinted blue.

Hello plant blocking Genting's mural/advertising/whatever on the back wall.

Photobombed.
Must take picture first before all the terror and thrill kills the makeup wtf.

Took us some time to look for the outdoor theme park where the ticketing booth should be,
and stopped by a bakery for some mushroom and cheese quiche with salad mmm so yummy!
Not that expensive either, about six bucks? So many more tempting yummies there
goodness gracious me I can noms bread and pastries ~~and get fatter~~ for a whole lifetime and never get bored okay! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

The first ride I was talked into getting on.

What is it called again, Spinner? Something like that? Damn powder this picture captured the entire ride in its glory and got bonus clown by the sides somemore. Am so awesome I don't even. BUT SHIT THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FLY OFF AND DIE. Think a superhero life of flying ain't going to cut it for me, too much anxiety on the poor heart. At first when it's spinning low it's still fun you know like wind in hair and all that, but when it gets higher it's like OMFG IMMA DROP MY HEART OUT SOMEWHERE AND DIE. Like that. And this is just the first ride wtf I was like closing my eyes and just bearing all the horrors within my lily-livered self wtf while YK seems to be having a jolly time, occasionally looking back to check if there's still life in my eyes.

gif ain't mine.

A tad na..fuck how do you spell it? Nauseous? Nauseous yes my friend Google just confirmed it!
Really lame, coming from someone who used to get all correct for english spelling tests in primary school.So yeah insides got all wobbly from the spinning, but I soldiered on. Soldiered on to the next, and possibly the lamest (albeit very pretty), ride in the theme park - the Carousel wtf negative thrill and excitement okay, good place to calm the nerves down and take some pictures though teehee!

Clear and sharp pictures for the Carousel moved as quickly as the Earth spins around the Sun.

Ribena break! (Walaupun baru dua rides!) (*＾▽＾) Really, all throughout the day it was just makanmakanmakannnn, making snack stops so frequently hahahaha the first was for breakfast quiche, and now it's for Ribena and Rocky ♥ RM4.50 punya Ribena WTF DAYLIGHT ROBBERY MUCH? Padahal actual price like RM3, and if kira cost price lagi murah okay like what RM0.30? (Stingy much?) Come here everything after seeing the price terus no appetite already wtf

Oh yeah forgot to tell about our terrible customer service experience. At first, buying the tickets for the cable ride wasn't so bad, the person behind the caunter barely lifted up her head to look at us or even so much as say thank you, which is fine okay typical lah but then at the theme park ticket counter, the girl was so rude! We asked about the type of rides in the indoor park and she said curtly that it was in the pamphlet and continued staring at us impatiently with a condescending look, after pressing for more details she then opened the pamphlet up and smacked her palm insolently on it to show us the map of the indoor theme park without saying anything more. As expected, no thank you either. And it was just barely noon, imagine how she would treat the other visitors when she's worked a couple hours more? Having to deal with this even before we started the day just made the visit seem a little less unpleasant, repulsive almost. Speaking of customer service, and plain old good manners, I was in Jusco Melaka the other day and as we walked in, even the security guard greeted us with a smile. So much difference okay. Sigh. Getting over it, okaaaaay next ride!

ZE CYCLONE (I think!)

Peace and serenity amidst the rattling and screaming on the Cyclone(?).
Quite the opposite from the person behind the camera. That person's a wreck.
But still somewhat comforted by munching on smuggled-in Pringles and Rocky while waiting wtf

Hearing them screams and clatter of the metals, I was like

gif ain't mine.

But rode it anyway.
THE GOING DOWN PART. Like hanging on to dear sweet life,
while feeling my heart being ripped out from the back and left behind while my insides are throwing a rave party
like nobody's business. and it went round for three rounds?! BRB DYING TILL IT STOPS.

Enough, enough turmoil for my poor soul.
Let us now take the Spinning Ribena Cup Ride ~~and camho~~ please. /cowardly custard

Bottom picture to make up for the severely lacking in grace punya pictures above HAHAHAHA but hey, there's me smiling with teeth ~~and looking so silly at it~~!

Love how ~~Arashi~~ colourful this ~~Arashi~~rainbow-like building is ♥
It's always at least half-covered in mist. So pretty and dreamlike. LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CRAZY COOL WEATHER, made me so happy and comfortable ♪ Gawd if only the temperature in Malaysia is exactly like this all throughout, that's just be so awesome. Then taking long walks wouldn't be such a hassle! Really, I love walking around and all, I just don't like to get all sweaty and uncomfortable (AND TANNED!) under the sun. Unlike YK there who loves warmth and the sun so much that she gets worn-out from the lack of sunshine hahahaha we're completely opposites! （＾＿－）

BUMPERRRR BOAT!

Undeniably the perfect ride/game/whatever for someone who is very comfortable being in control of motor vehicles! ME ME ME! Despite the long wait, we had a great time bumping around and more bumping around! Plus, it's a one-person thing so after overcoming the slight fear of not knowing how to control it, there was no stopping anybody hahaha they gave us ten minutes to ride around, lifejacket provided of course. The water's a little..filthy though. Like I wouldn't want to drop in there, ever. Not even if someone pays me to. *shivers ( ･_･)

Wet shoes?
All the colliding and banging did splashed the dirty green water onto us though. Eeeeee.
Ok time for another break, did we stopped by for some herbal eggs (random tak?) before or after this ride? Oops think it was before, and as we waited and sat there to noms, most passers-by were subjected to our hard judging hahahaha okay fine I confess, I was the one doing most of the (unfair) judging and also made (~~possibly~~ undeserved) conclusion on the lives of others based solely on appearance while my companion secretly tsk-ed in disapproval and judged my unwholesome character in return. GAWD WHAT SENTENCE IS THAT EVEN so wishy washy and twisty twasty.

NEXTTTTTTTTTT! Pirate Ship! *gulps
Oh wait, and the Haunted House thing before, which was so cheap and tacky they wouldn't even spare a couple bucks to at least hire some real dude to chase people around. Seriously?

Uh-huh, live in action. Dude next door judging me hard for my lack of guts.
Notice how everyone else is like: "Omg wind in hair I'm so fabulous and delightfully full of life" and then there's me hanging on to dear sweet life. Opted for the er middle seat of the Ship so that I wouldn't go so high up wtf and my good friend here decided to have some fun with my camera, chuckling and enjoying herself while the Ship swung around back and forth and I too, dieded back and forth. MY HEART PEOPLE, MY DEAR DEAR HEART. I don't even.

This calls for an ice-cream break.
See how ~~easily bribed~~ contented I am.

That was while queuing up for the boat ride around Dinosaur land!
Though it was more like Dinosaur Island, with a moat surrounding it for the boat ride and dinosaurs, rocks and plants in the middle. It's a bit high up so the view's pretty great. Bet YK got tired at one point after a gazillionth time of my expressing how pretty damn fucking amazing the weather is, only that she was too polite to tell me ~~to STFU~~ so （＾＿－）Wow first cuss word since I started this post, aren't you so proud of me? *beams

View from the top.
That's the Corkscrew (betul tak?) ride at the distance, yes the one with 360degrees loops with blue red railings. For the record, I would never go on it, not ever. We clear on that?Then there's the Go-Kart track and you know what, before this picture was taken the mist was so thick we couldn't even clearly see that roller coaster railing, and the bumbung biru kat kanan tuh ngan area parking kat bawah tuh was barely visible, all covered with this mystical mist that comes and disappears just like that. YES I AM SO IN AWE. (*ﾟ.ﾟ) Witnessing and hearing of things like this, I would sometime think that this Earth is such a remarkably exquisite place that God has created for us and I'm so grateful to be living and breathing in this ahem Beautiful World (coincedently Arashi's new album title well what do you know （＾＿－）). Moving on (also an Arashi song, by the way).

Am surprised at how awesome this picture is (ok not really no),
because in reality it's quite dilapidated and so obviously human-made with plastic and whatnots.

Boat ride (that fits up to twelve people) starts!
and might I add that Cross Process is the best photo-editing effect ever!
It gives such warmth to the hair and skintone, little blemishes too just disappear under that glow ♥

Boat pathway around the Dinosaur Island.
Lots of koi fish under the ~~murky~~ waters that visitors can feed with food pellet sold at the stands.

Elephants, with saggy bits of torn rumpled plastic for stomach.
No kidding, apparently nobody bothered to fix it. Poor thing *pats

Philosoraptor? ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ )

Sorry, couldn't stop at two examples. Boy do I love internet people!

Meanwhile, the view on the right is of the rest of the theme park.
FERRIS WHEEL!! (* o * )

Then suddenly, there was a gate in front of us that opened,
leading in to some warehouse-looking space inside.

It was all dark as the narrator educated us on the history of dinosaurs (should be lah, didn't listen as was busy taking pictures WITH FLASH. Teehee.) Then there was lighting and dinosaur-noises and they introduced and highlighted each dinosaur with their eating habits, complete with moving models of the species. Like this blue one here, moving it's head about which was kinda fucking creepy as I was seated in front right next to it. Kept seeing visions of it opening it's mouth and coming at me wtf but had to keep cool cannot freak out, as there were people around wtf nice picture though kan? Padahal in real life cannot really see nor hear anything, it felt unkempt and rather neglected. Sigh it could've been really great with the right execution and effort (also known as, more budget please!).

Nothing to do so take picture of the exit door.
Note how eerily the water glows in green. Like a horror movie waiting to happen.

☆--:*:--☆ Walls Strawberries & Cream FERRIS WHEEEEEEEL!! ☆--:*:--☆

So pretty, and so incredibly nice to ride in (something here sounds wrong hmm) ♥
The kind lady who was in charge (whoots good service for the day!) was so nice to us and let us enjoyed the ride for three rounds, and even offered a fourth round but we YK said we should give chance to others.

It was such a refreshing ride and so pleasant,
taking a break to go around up and down, chit chatting while slowly breathing in the cool air and enjoying the view of (almost) the entire outdoor theme park. Lookity look, more mist and ~~Arashi~~ colourful buildings! I know right, I am so mesmerized by the agreeable weather and the mist, it felt so good and so incredibly comfortable ♥ I hereby declare this my favourite of the entire theme park ♥

Our faithful companion, Mr Pringles.
After the ferris wheel, we walked around indoor looking for this other ride but somehow ended up with us having KFC hahahaha and a 4D Motion Master (I might have just made this up, zero memory on what it was actually called wtf) treat after that. That one's like, 3D animation playing while the seat moves around accordingly and like got air blowing from below and crabs climbing up our legs that kind of simulation. Pretty interesting experience, I'd say! (＾∇＾)

When we finally found the ride we wanted to take earlier, Flying Dragon or something, it was already too late because we wanted to watch the Motion Master thing (again, unconfirmed name) and it was already evening then. Sigh so many rides were closed up too, for maintenance and for like, major renovation. Didn't want to go back at night, so we left in the evening.

Not before scoring a balloon-teddy from a clown!
A couple days after it shrunk beyond believe, like it was never blown into teddy before and the little employee name tag drawn by YK lagilah kecil comelnya hahahaha! and here comes the best parts of the trip, in my humble opinion - unexpected surprises!

A FOGGY ATMOSPHERE!
Oh it was perfectly delightful, didn't have to turn on the aircon at all. Just roll the windows down with the hands out and soak in all the mystical chilly air ♥ It was like being transported into another land, a wonderland where sinister secrets hid in the very shadowy air we breathe. mmmm. Though I'm sure it made it quite hard to drive though, having to concentrate so much more to see where we're going. But as a passenger, it was just so nice. I couldn't have love it any more!

So I was just getting comfortable, comforter and pillow in arms revelling in the perfect temperature when we zoomed past some blurry sunflowers and I was like, "wait wait wait! are those sunflowers?" YK's eyes completely lit up hahahaha and quickly stopped by the roadside, asking me if they're real and of course, I had no idea. So we gostan all the way to the junctions and turned in. TO FIND AN ABSOLUTE HEAVEN OF THIS:

SUNFLOWERS.
ROWS AND FRIGGIN' ROWS OF FRIGGIN' SUNFLOWERS!

So much joy and sunshine! (*≧▽≦)
We got SUPER EXCITED and started climbing here and there taking pictures and calling out every few seconds "eh look at this one!" or "omg so pretty this one" or "eh eh see this!" or "holyma this one!"

I don't think I've been in quite such high spirits in a while. Discovering something as amazing as this, it just made my entire ~~day~~ ~~week~~ ~~fortnight~~ ~~month~~ year! SO FRIGGIN' HAPPY UNTIL CANNOT EXPLAIN!

Turns out, it was some hydroponic farm thing. So pretty and cheery, no? ♥
They were even selling cherry tomatoes, lettuce, sweet potatoes and such but it was quite pricey. No surprises there. We soon got over it, and continues on our journey. Not without more continuous raving about our amazing luck in finding them sunflowers!

Hahahaha and armed with a comforter and a pillow in my arms, aided by the best of weather, I soon fell dead asleep on the way down hill. So asleep that when it started raining with the windows open and YK had to close the windows WHILE driving (coz the window on the passenger's side have to tarik up dengan tangan sometimes) down hill with the road all slippery, I continued sleeping through it all wtf when I opened my eyes, we were already in Ampang for Korean food hahahaha so sorry! A moving vehicle is my biggest weakness! (*＾-＾*)

Korean barbeque, whoots! First time ever trying Korean food!

Muka bohdoh baru bangun tidur.

Ok sila tarik balik statement sebelum nih, no more muka bohdoh.

Comes with platefuls and platefuls of side dishes!
About seven or eight, I believe? There's the regular kimmchi that I didn't tried because YK said it wasn't that great today, and then there's the anchovies with peanuts coated all sticky and sweet, the boiled taugeh with shredded carrots, green leafy vege with sesame seed and also tofu and konnyaku-like stuff covered with kimmchi spicy sauce? So banyak kan? Even comes with a plate of fresh green lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, garlic and chilli.

MEAT AND MUSHROOOOOOOMS! MAJOR LOVE!

Look at them glorious glorious meat.

And fat melting off like cheese. Mmmm. ♥
Came with sesame oil with salt and some bean paste for dip. So yummy! We also ordered a bowl of kimmchi soup and rice for the both of us. Obviously couldn't finish it all, don't judge mehhhh Q__________Q Had to tapao most of the meat back sigh if got one more person, then it'd be perfect! But such a fulfilling meal! Such a fulfilling DAY! What an adventure! (*＾▽＾)

Gawd longest post ever, or longest post ever?
Tell me though, are the pictures too horrifyingly large?

Shallow Sleep

2011-08-03T17:05:00.000+08:00

HAHA I think the lack-of-response does play a factor after all in the posts I put out on this blog.
On Facebook, instant likes, comments and replies on pretty much everything and on Tumblr, with every refresh brings something new along on the dashboard and people talk to each other.

But with blogger...

gif not mine.

Gosh I know right, am such an attention whore. (｡･_･｡)

Recently, for the past week or more, I've been having dreams. I wake up several times at night, tossing and turning until I fall back into sleep, into another dream. These dreams I've been having, they're not the usual bunch of random elements thrown in, they're different. So rich in details, so misleadingly realistic, so many familiar and unfamiliar faces, so full of emotions and so complicated story-wise.

Yesterday, I had this dream of people I know in real life fighting it out and there were blood (and tears) shed. Odd enough, it was the second dream of the night, prior to that I've already had another different dream and woke up after that only to fall asleep again to have THIS dream. Funny thing is, in this second dream I could remember bits of the previous dream, as crazily irrelevant and different in scenario as it was. In the first dream, at one point there was a beach and Grobeh was giving me pickled mangoes and melon milk. At the second dream, at one point in the midst of all the tension, I went to the store for some quick refreshments and thought of Grobeh, then started looking for pickled mangoes and melon milk in the display. I've never had this happen before so it was quite interesting really.

But what really bothered me is the recurring theme in these dreams I've been having for the past week or so. The same emotion, the same tension, the same feeling of anxiety played out in different scenarios

In all these dreams, I always had something that was bothering me.
Whether is it some huge assignment I had to pass up in mere hours, someone I really care for went missing for a long time or people that I love get hurt and I could only do so much to save them, there's always something like that that puts me at such a state of unease and anxiety.

And always, always when I suddenly wake up in the morning,
I feel this rush of huge relieve that that was all just a dream.
Anxiety, unease and finally, relief. Always.

Anyone reading Decoding Dreams for Dummies? Care to explain?

OOH PHONECALL ♥
GOING TO PAVILION!
GOT TO GO, BYE!
Kuantan tomorrow! (＾□＾*)

"遅く目が覚めた　晴れた朝のこと"

2011-07-26T16:39:00.035+08:00

Well well well, look who's back.
Dude I've been gone so long when I type out dashboard, the link to blogger doesn't appear anymore wtf
instead, Tumblr comes up. The addictive goodness that is Tumblr, oh the endless joy! (*･∀･)

Visual example of endless joy

Goodness knows whatever happened to the 30-Days Challenge I took on.

Good news is, I'm done with my eight-weeks long quite-enjoyable-yet-stressful internship. I did learnt quite some things about the PR/Media Industry in Malaysia and met a number of very interesting people that certainly add colour to the world. The good, the bad and the average - all part and parcel of the working life. Heck, even life itself in general. Diplomatic much? （＾＿－）

So the current update of my life is that I'm living in KL at present,
about 60% moved in to our new place in Kajang and what I do everyday ever since I'd wrapped up the internship programme is eat, sleep twelve-hours a day, fangirl and watch television. Note the absence of socialising. Yeap, lifestyle of the rich, famous and fabulous indeed wtf.

Highlight of the week - Driving around in KL (alone!) for the first time in my life!
Coming from someone who is yet unsure of the road to Queensbay Mall, this feat is really a feat worthy of a thousand praises and shoulder pats okay! Drove (my good ol' saga kesayangan ♥) all the way to Bangsar and Damansara Heights, and then to the new place in Kajang and also very recently, to Kit's workplace in Ara Damansara! LIKE A BOSS. HEBAT TAK HEBAT TAK.

Expectation of response towards the above question

Probable reality of response towards the above question, FML.

I know, I fail. But let's not dwell on that too much,
I am now going to have an abrupt change of subject to pry attention away from my faults in life.
Gosh I need to have a list of stuff I've been meaning to talk about!（＾∀＾）

The Accidental KL Cupcake Trail

The +Wondermilk Cupcake That Rolled

Details of a Fun and Exciting Internship Programme

The National Zoo Outing of Twenty Years Ago

Things I've Received and Want to Publicly Thank For

Recent Updates on Arashi That I Am Very Excited About (Tentative)

That's about it really, as far as my memory works. I've been going out quite a lot and doing many things all throughout the past couple months. Thing is, I hardly take any pictures anymore and you would know that I won't be very much inclined to blog about stuff that I can't show through pictures. Hence the lack of anything much at all lately. Hopefully things will change, and I will get so bored out of my mind that I will finally take out the camera, start snapping away and come back to documenting my life here in this blog. (*＾-＾*)

So this is the rant post.

2011-05-23T21:30:00.003+08:00

WHY AM I SO MISERABLE RIGHT NOW.

Bunch of insects/mutantmosquitoes/bugs bit my feet a couple nights ago
and they're itchy as hell even right now! Plus, they swelled up quite a bit and all red.
Not a pretty sight. They were so itchy I woke up in the middle of the night last night and
couldn't stop scratching. So fucking miserable okay. Dahlah it was the night before internship began.
Luckily I've got myself a kitteh to make it feel all better. Genius!

FML said insects/mutantmosquitoes/bugs just got to my thighs. ITCHY CAN DIE NOW!!

Didn't bring any lotion to this house, skin dry as a dehydrated desert on a no-water diet.
Slight-OCD self cannot help but to fiddle along with them, leading to bloody consequences.
Disgusted or not wtf I ALSO CANNOT TAHAN MYSELF OK. Somemore next two
months everyday dalam tempat aircond, gila tak mati kekeringan. Or blood loss wtf wtf.

Moisturiser left satu dua titik. Concealer left satu dua titik (THE HORROR).
Eyeliner sudah long time toss dalam tong sampah. Mascara BRB DYING OF THIRST.

(HOLYMOMMA SEEMS LIKE THE CAUSE OF MY MISERIES IS THE LACK OF WATER AND ALIEN BUGS!!)

Haven't shopped for reals for work-appropriate Clothes. and Shoes! Watch!
Umbrella! Makeup! SHOES! Everything-Can-Fit-and-Still-Damn-Bergaya-as-Hell Bag!

Talk so much, macamlah ada banyak sangat duit kan FML T______________T

so this is the view from this room,
right behind this laptop screen.
it's nicer in real life.

WHY, IN THE END, I'M NOT THAT MISERABLE AFTER ALL.

Pretty good first day of internship!

Got myself a pretty, smart and nice boss. Can give cupcake, treat me lunch and gave me a lift back home somemore. Plus, so encouraging in getting me to ask questions, giving valueble insights on the working world of PR and constantly asking how am I doing with what I'm doing. So far so good, sure did learnt some stuff and enjoyed the day!

Didn't take the bus on the first day of work after all, which is a major comfort. and arriving slightly more than an hour earlier and roamed around the area checking out gorgeous (read: expensive as hell) mansions and houses. Priceless. Thank you, for always being there and ever so helpful in everything. ♥

There's only one other staff in the PR Department. and she's really soft-spoken and talks to me real nicely, offering to help out and bring me around all the time. I can see that they really want me to learn as much as I can during my time here, and oh did I mention, I'm the only intern. Scared.

Had yummymummy tuttifrutti last night.
and banana toffee icecream before that.
ketamakan much? Also, see how easily pleased I am?

THE END.

the light before we land

2011-05-15T16:45:00.000+08:00

It's inevitable, as it always has been.
The semester break commences, and I go back.

Back, not home, mind. Because home is somewhere else;
somewhere cosier, somewhere more familiar in its scent and sight,
somewhere on which the term home could no longer be used legitimately.
Just like a very close friend whom having left Malaysia more than a decade ago,
still calls this land home, I don't think I could ever call any other place home. This small rented place on Jalan Tiga, with the bougainvillea tree at the front, its heavy clusters of deep purple blossoms an exquisite facade for its decaying insides; this is the home that I speak of. This is where the heart is.

It's inevitable.
How every time I take a little holiday, I distance myself from the outside world.
Holing up the in the rooms here, I read and reread. Old favourites, mostly.
I stay here alone, I read. I watch and I listen too, taking the time to relish every little bit.
I indulge in doing nothing close to productive, merely spending some quality time with myself.
I cease to pick up calls from acquaintances, I neglect my multiple cyberspace personas, I abandon such things as emails and inboxes, and even simple things like replying text messages (however sweet the sender could be) slips my mind without much effort. For slacking in keeping in touch, I am truly sorry.

Then again, I can't help it. It is to be expected.
because this is the best time for some soul-searching.
because after months of being in the (excellent) company of (excellent) people,
one needs a little time for oneself. One needs to figure things out and do a little thinking, a little rearranging and clarifying of thoughts and sentiments in regards to pretty much everything.
It is at times like these that I have my own opinion about everything, and I have so much to say, so many things to respond to, so many thoughts to express that I feel I could go on typing like this forever.

Though more often than not, I keep all these to myself, letting slip only the occasional sentiment or two in the most ambiguous way possible. I am very much a contradiction, as you would know if you've been with me long enough. I say one thing, and I do another. I believe one thing, and I act on another. I think one thing, and I feel another. I say I keep everything to myself, and here I am giving away to such profound, reflective thoughts that should remain to a great extent, private. Chances are, I won't even publish this here.

I've always believed that nothing is ever absolute.
In any given situation, philosophy, or assertions, there would always be an exception.
There is always a "but..'. There is always, without a doubt, a way out of it, whatever it is.

Truthfully, I don't even know where I am going with this. Please don't take me too seriously, or analyse to deeply the things I've just said. It wasn't expressed with much organisation, nor rationalization. Let's just think of this as a midnight articulation of what is going through my mind as of this moment, sans the ever-present mental filter. Unguarded and unpremeditated (pretty sure this is a valid word wtf). Don't judge.

Will stop now for mind is getting too full of twists and turns and branching offs in different directions. Will have to resort to Arashi for some fluffy entertainment and fangirlism. That's why they're escapism.

Especially since the kitteh is so far away from me.

Day JyuuGo, JyuuRoku

2011-05-15T16:34:00.003+08:00

Hullo there! I'm back in cyberspace!
and boy is this blog dusty! *blows away layers of dust
So yeah I'm in Kuantan now and let's go on with Day 15! :D

Day 15 : Something that you don't leave the house without.

Aside from the usual money and handphone(s),
it's lipbalm. sebab my lips get really really dry I ain't kidding you.

and a hair rubberband, for saat-saat kecemasan! Not because I actually need them,
but using them to tie my hair up in a bun for a while gives me the nicest messy little waves after so yeah I'm all for it!

Day 16 : A picture of someone who inspires you.

ARASHI AGAIN?! Fuckyeah.

They do inspire and motivate me.

Especially Nino, Aiba and Sho.

Nino, because I see such similarities and he is quite the odd one
Aiba, because he is an optimistic little puppy made of pure sunshine

and Sho, because he is driven, professional and diciplined in his work.

and that's a wrap for today!
Just got some really good news ♥

a little scared to hope and expect but..
I would really like the plans to go through! :)

Day JyuuSan, JyuuYon.

2011-04-10T21:02:00.003+08:00

Hoho this is by far the easiest to answer! (￣▽￣)
and I bet twenty cents that you all already know it anyway!

[Day 13 : A picture of your favorite band or artist.]

because I can't simply choose ONE.
So here's two of the group ♥

and another two of my favourite in the group! ♥

[Day 14 : A tv show that you're currently addicted to]

Arashi no Shukudaikun!
There's a total of about 170 episodes to it

and up to date I have about 120 downloaded

and just found another 10 subtitled ones today!! (≧∇≦)
Will watch some with the Fire Extinguisher nanti. ♥

Why I love it?

because there's them nomming yummeh (and sometimes odd) food,

there's them playing dorky ridiculous games that don't really have a point

and then there are the guests that bring out different funny sides of these five boys

and last, but not least, the crazy humour. almost every episode is laugh-out-loudable!

Well, that's the favourite Japanese TV Show.
As for English, the ones I'm really into right now
is How I Met Your Mother, and Big Bang Theory! ☆彡

Day JyuuNi: Revisited!

2011-04-10T19:58:00.000+08:00

Just because there is so much more to be said. （＾＿－）☆

As I was saying, I am seeing someone right about now.
This is surpising, isn't it? I don't confess to such things so openly.
I'm not exactly one who publicises my relationships out loud like this.
but a surpising number of people already know, while some guessed.
Especially people in school, I guess we're not exactly subtle hahahaha!

It's scary though how things progressed so quickly.
In a blink of an eye, we're here dah at this point.
Scary, but somewhat exciting too! (＾∇＾)
but still pretty scary, even at this point.
I'm going around in circles here, aren't I?

and then just a few days ago, unbelievably,
homemade ice-cream all the way from Armenian Street,
in yummeh cheesecake and strawberry flavour! ♥

thankyuu sugar. sweetest thing or what? ♥
I don't even want to know how quickly (and dangerously!)
you had to drive to get back here in time before it melted. （￣ー￣）

That's all to be said for now. (potong stim much?)
I guess I'll just let the story unfold in time. There's too much!
In the meantime, know that I'm happy, as of right now.
The days ahead are unpredictable, the future unsure.

But at this very moment, all is well ♪ And I'm telling you this.

Hearts the Fire Extinguisher ♥

Day JyuuIchi, JyuuNi.

2011-03-31T18:11:00.000+08:00

I can hardly remember that last time I slept in.
It's so much harder to wake up when everything's so comfortable.
I can hardly remember that last time I properly flailed and fangirled.
It's so much harder to go crazy over Arashi when there's hardly any time.
Time flies, so much more quicker this semester. Was it because we had so much fun?
It's like I just blinked a couple times, and suddenly I'm already here, in this present state ♪

[Day 11 : What's in your make up bag?]

Makeup bag as in?
As in the bag with makeup that I bring out
or the bag (if existent, that is) that I keep my makeup in?
Imma go with the latter, because the former's nonexistent!

No secrets here, I do use quite a bit of makeup.
*ashamed ~~but not really wtf~~ |･ω･｀)
Ever since I entered my late-teens/early twenties,
my skin decided to go all puberty on me wtf hence, scars and breakouts.
Which brings to loads of makeup needed to hide them imperfections
and holymama I used to think an eyeliner's the shiznit, but right now a concealer's the #1!

Here's my makeup bag/box then. There's lipgloss, eyeliner, eyecream (ANTI-AGING, no less),
blemish balm, eyeshimmer, moisturiser and random nonsense all in a state of disarray like that. Yup, disarray, that's me there. Gosh do I sound glum today or what. Oh oh that day damn funny, instead of Subaidah, Loudao said Sudaibah! and not too long after, self-sabo himself with "seniors buli juli" WTF HAHAHHAHAHAHA i don't even. Wait, how is this even relevant again?

So tomorrow's the Communications Night that PERKOM's organising. (*・_・)
Tonight's the full rehearsal and tomorrow by noon we have to be there to get stuff ready
means busy busy busy maximum day tomorrow! But hey, at least there's an after-party after that!
Hope I won't dieded too soon, bought the greatest nude suede pumps and it debuted last night!
and since I have just about a gazillion datelines to fulfill this coming week,
Imma do Day JyuuNi for the 30-Day Challenge in this post as well!

[Day 12 : Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is.]

Domokun says, save meh!

because it is the cutest thing, and somewhat relevant ♥

Hoho the timing for this question.
Yes, I'm seeing someone right about now.
It's going great, and I'm happeh nyappeh.

Day Jyuu

2011-03-28T22:06:00.001+08:00

HOLYMAMA! HELL WEEK IS HEREEEEEEEEEEEE! ヾ(‘ロ‘)　
Two group projects, one assignment, one individual project and an event to plan!
All by this week, all before 1st April! and we just started working on them!
but never too busy to have a little bit of fun here and there. ♥

Day 10 : A photo of your favorite place to eat.

Before you accuse me of failing to grasp the concept of "a photo" instead of "a gazillion photos", in my defence, I live in so many places in Malaysia! So it's only natural that I have loads of favourite places for food, especially here in Penang with my NomNomMax buddies!

But here, in Penang, this is my favourite place ever.
Located on my favourite street too, this Amelie Cafe!（＾∀＾）ノ
Serving homemade Western food (some Italian too!) from breakfast to tea time,
though a tad on the pricey side, the food's always wholesome and delicious!
Plus, doesn't hurt that the deco's all handmade craft and oh-so-quirky old school. Pure love.

Next up, favourite nomnom place di second home, Kuala Lumpur!
and nope, despite what my IC and soon-to-be-permanent address may say,
I'll never ever be a KL City girl! Sorry, I suka duduk kat Kuantan tepi pantai okeh! ♡

Guess guess guess where is this!
Okeh nemai I'll tell you anyways, it's Delicious! (＾∇＾)
as in, the place called Delicious. but I bet you know that already wtf.
Again, harga a little up, but the variety of food and desserts, mmm yummeh!

and finally, Kuantan. Home Sweet Home Kuantan. ♥
I have way too many favourite places for food back here, back home here.
from awesomesauce currypuffs in Gelora, bestest cendol in Midnight,
porkiest hokkien mee in that food court, to the most incredible currymee in Hoiyin!

but still. favourite place to nomnom is still here. ChaCha Restaurant. ♥
walaupun jarang datang makan sebab mahal, but japanese food is always win!
a homey place that hardly anyone knows, expect only the most authentic home-styled of food!
and random knickknack japanese ice confectionaries hidden in the corner of the restaurant too.

Gosh I'm such a foodie, how could I possible restrict myself to just one picture!（＾＿－）☆

Day Kyuu

2011-03-21T23:41:00.000+08:00

Back in the room at last! *long sigh ε-(´・｀) ﾌｰ
Feels good to be able to relax and let loose like this.
Been out for fifteen hours, and it's hard to play nice when tired.
Laundry piling up, and huh just noticed the towels on my sidai baju thingy.
Blue and yellow, Ohmiya colours. Nyaa that's nice, cheered up for a while there ♥

Day 9 : A photo of the item you last purchased.

This month's CLEO bought yesterday, boring tak my life?
Besides a breakfast of milk, Tiger milk biscuits and ~~Snips~~ Nips
(yang cheat one, because hardly any raisins! the horror!) today.
But coming back to a nicely folded blanket is a pleasant change.

Day Hachi

2011-03-21T15:43:00.001+08:00

OMG C10 COULD YOU BE ANY COOLER?! (｡･_･｡)

As in sejuk punya cooler, not kakkoi punya cooler wtf.

A little overdue, but here, Day Eight of the 30-Day Challenge!
It's not so much as it matches my mood, than it's just stuck in my head right now.
But then again my brain comes up with random song lines that fit the situation occasionally so.

Day 8 : A song that match your mood.

Favourite song after Ninomiya Kazunari's Niji.
THIS: Gimmick Game
Also by Ninomiya Kazunari.

Because the lines that go,

どうしてだろう
あなたの指が
ワタシだけには
汚く見えてるの
why is it that your fingers
look so dirty to me?

また違う世界で
自分だけ満足して.
You're in another world again
thinking only of yourself.

あなたの首筋、ホラ、嘘が見えた。
Look, at the nape of your neck, I see lies.

きみの首筋、ほら、唾をつけた。
Look, at the nape of your neck, I've marked it mine.

Maybe because it's my current message ringtone,
that it's been stuck in my head for days now! (・∀・ )
Also, he got the inspiration for the lyrics from Ohno and Sakurai!
I love the melody, I love the lyrics, I love the way he sings it. RAWR!

let's play, six six six.

2011-03-19T23:25:00.001+08:00

Whoo three posts in one day, that's a first! (*･∀･)
Just felt like showing off two pictures taken just minutes ago.

The first one on the left is the view outside my window.
It was raining really, really heavily just now. Pitter patter.
and the sky softened into such a soft muted shade of faint orange,
gloomy dark clouds looming it's way into scene. A melancholy kind of beautiful.
Isn't it exquisite how the world turns so silent just as the rain starts to fall? I love it.

And this! THIS!
I went off to read CLEO, didn't I?
I reached this page, saw the name below this ad
and literally gasped out ~~roud~~ loud in sheer disbelief!

It's Takeuchi Yuuko!!!!
As in, the actress Nino's been a fan of for ten years!
As in, the actress Nino self-sabotaged just to please her!
As in, the actress Nino wore a suit for in a friggin' game show!
As in, the actress that Matsujun kissed in that one drama last year!

and the saddest thing is that no one I personally know will get this FML. T______T

And this, today. On a Saturday afternoon, no less.

WanKimm: I already GOT DOWN ON FRIDAY FRIDAY GOTTEN DOWN ON FRIDAY ;D
Me: Suddenly it sounds so wrong to me. What if Friday's the name of a person!
WanKimm: If Friday's the name of the person, I hope she's hot!
Me: With a name like Friday, she's got to be smokin' hot! ;)

and bonding over a shared opinion neck, shot and limes.
Super hot indeed! Boy is Facebook fun today or what! ♥

Day Nana

2011-03-19T18:52:00.000+08:00

Day 7 : Your dream wedding.

Well since I've already disregarded most of the rules in this meme,
like by posting up 18359 pictures instead of the usual "one picture of.." and the likes
I might as well continue on with this tradition! （＾＿－）☆

I'll start off with the proposal first,
because I've actually mentioned this to Mins and Grobe before
so I already know exactly what I want to write about!
I don't think many of you know this but I kind of sort of fairly in a way
have this obsession with..ferris wheels!!

I even have a folder created specifically to simpan pretty pictures of ferris wheels!
And as if that's not crazy-obsessive enough, I actually have a specific ferris wheel that I stalk wtf
It's the Cosmo Clock 21 located in Yokohama, Japan. Also the largest clock in the world! (*･∀･)
I think all this nonsense started after watching the Honey & Clover anime series, and from then on ferris wheels have always been associated with feelings of slight melancholy and a subtle kind of romance. Pretty too, these things are, very much so.

Whoops terpesong so jauh!
Point is, take me to a ferris wheel,
ask anything of me and I'll say yes for sure. ♥

Omg damn malas to continue today's post already!
Let's speed things up a little yeah?
Dress. White, obviously, but with a little quirk to it.
Black lace have always been a favourite.

Or a little kimono-inspired one.

Or if budget's not an issue, I'll get Vivienne Westwook to design me an original.

Ceremony. Garden. White chairs and tables, lots of flowers and greens.
Or an evening one. With lanterns, candles and pretty warm lights by the lake.

A pretty cake like this would be great too!
Alright that's all for today,
Imma go read my copy of the latest CLEO now! ♪

NEVER AGAIN.

2011-03-19T18:39:00.002+08:00

Last night was..eventful, to say the least.
It was really fun; we were even given a bottle of Absolut!

With the three crazy awesome girls! ♥

but I hereby swear off alcohol for at least three months!
Okay maybe a sip or two very occasionally, but that's it. NO MORE.
and even after this self-imposed ban, no more drinking when mad tired!
Because then self-restrain cease to exist, and I just can't myself the morning after.

Worse still, this isn't the first time this week.

This ~~morning~~ afternoon,
woke up to my hair tied up in newspaper rubberband,
room key slipped under the door and a cocktail of emotions
made up of embarassment, major guilt and appreciatian. I don't even.

Can't myselfing, like this. Only less giggy ~~and adorable~~.

Never again, never again. *headdesk
But moving on, since earth is still spinning!
Another episode of the 30-Days Challenge coming up!

Day Roku

2011-03-16T01:47:00.011+08:00

Hectic hectic weekend.
Lazy lazy Monday and Tuesday
spent mostly on soft yellow sheets.
Yellow here, yellow there. I likes. ♥

Day 6: A photo of an animal you'd love to keep as a pet.

I've always, always wanted a pet at home.
You know, other than the colourful fishes that my father keeps.
How are little fishes (pretty though they are)
that ignore you all day count as pets I don't even. (*・_・)

So given a chance, I'd love love love to keep this as a pet!

Cliche and conventional gila kan!
I love both cats and dogs, but..a puppy is too irresistable!
Like, nyaaaaa~♥ I'm so getting one when I get my own place nanti!

Not that I'm complaining about the pet I keep right now.
Ehhh haven't you heard about it? （＾＿－）
It's a pet head. A nice bald head, to be precise.
Sebab nice to pat. Here's a picture.

Its name is Boolat ♪
and it comes with a person called Eugene.
Also known as Loudao*

*subject to changes wtf

Day Go

2011-03-14T11:50:00.004+08:00

Well this is nice, a quiet morning to myself.
It's White Day today, did you remember? (^-^ *)

Had an 8am class just now, and the PERKOM meeting soon after.
Breakfast of coffee-flavoured milk and a marie biscuit or two.
Wow boring meaningless information much?
Here's a little quiz to spice up your day wtf because your life so revolves around me wtf
Question: How do you know if it's my Laundry Day? (and Faraha always knows! ♥)
Answer: When I'm wearing my pink-striped shirt, or the baju kurung. ☆彡

Day 5 : A picture of something you want to do before you die.

This is kind of cheating really,
because rather than a picture, it's a moving picture! (*＾-＾*)
I may just be a tad obsessed with ~~arashi~~ gifs like fucking seriously.

though as always, these aren't mine, tumblr's!

I ~~need~~ want to see Arashi live before I die, that's what.
Even if I ceased to obsess over them in the future (realistically speaking like duh),
I'd still want to go to one of their concerts, and watch them live just for nostalgia's sake.
After all, there's nothing quite like a Johnnys' concert, and it'll be Major Awesome!

and perhaps witness a mass butt-grope or two. Just sayin' ~♪

Day Shi

2011-03-13T19:22:00.001+08:00

Okay today's challenge of:

[Day 4 : Your favorite photograph of your best friend]

might just be a little difficult for me.
I'm sure you've heard me say that I've never had a best friend since primary school
because the word "bestfriend" itself conjures up images and impressions
of things that I don't actually do, even with a super close girl friend!
You know, things like telling each other their deepest darkest secret,
having meetings in secret hideouts and the oh-so-often girly sleepovers and whatnots.
Blame it on the mass media and the one too many girly feel-good movies, I say. （＾＿－）

Best friends in Standard One, all the way to Standard Six
and we're still good friends up until today, Lumsie! ♥

It's not as if I'm a total anti-social with many acquaintances and zero friends though,
I mean in the end it's still the quality that counts, not the quantity of people I know right.
Ah though I did had one childhood friend who lives at the end of the road,
and I would meet and play with her for hours everyday, schoolday or not. Oh fond memories ♪

How did this turned out to be a story of me and my best friends (or the lack of)!
You're here for the pictures, (*･∀･)／♡＼(･∀･*)
so imma now throw out here pictures with really great friends with whom I could always
talk to no matter how long it's been since we met and I know I can trust! Mwahs to you peeps!

We got close near Form Four, right? ♥
Rumae, resident bottomless-pit and kaki keluar!

We've still pretty damn close up until this very moment, no?
Arti, who never judges, and provides ample entertainment just by being herself. ♥

It took some time to get comfortable with her (because scared wtf)
but I could always rely on our Queen here for her infinite kindness and rational mind ♥

How do I even begin to describe my fondness for this Diamond ♥
Always funny, always caring, always fun, always hot, always understanding.

MY TWIN SISTER! ♥ I can't believe I spoke so little of her here
until Arti told me she's not very familiar with this Faraha here!
So here's an extra long comment, to the sweetest ~~durian~~ hunny bunny ever.
We've only just met for about half a year, and already I could trust her to this extent.
It's unheard of. But I do, because she could always be depended on for many many things.
Plus, she's got the sense of humour of a i-dont-even-know-what and totally cute! ♥

So this is more of a fatherly figure wtf than best friend. Say hi to Boolat.
Sometimes taofung wtf but nevertheless still sayang us walaupun dibuli everyday ♥

Last, but definitely not the least! A girl of many, many nicknames.
Lastest one is "Grobe", but stay tuned for changes okay? （＾＿－）
I am seriously reconsidering my whole I-havent-had-a-best-friend-since-primary-school
policy because I don't think I've actually ever met anyone so caring and accepting of me before ♥

Kidding. That ain't my favourite picture, funny and amusing as it is!
I couldn't find the original for this favourite (amongst many others) though.

nyuu ♥

Wow just realised that this post could be potentially offensive.
As in, there are many more really amazing friends that I could have mentioned
like Virudh, whom I've had a little rough patch with a while ago but we made up beautifully
and TKL, who helped me so much in my times of need and never ever complains ♥
and also Charan, who is ever the mean bitchy Club Taikor that he is and food-enthusiast （＾＿－）

Ok SAT, shutup now. Perlu ke list down everyone I know wtf.

Day San

2011-03-11T19:56:00.001+08:00

Day 3 : Your idea for perfect first date.

Damn cliche this one omg!
but hell I'm so going to do this anyways.
because I have about 13 pages due 12pm tomorrow.
and I have a thing for procrastinating, apparently.

Let's see, I'm not so much of a daytime person so dinner at a nice cozy restaurant would be nice.
Preferably Japanese, Italian or Western? ♥
or better yet, assuming that this is not a blind date (because I just don't do them)
and assuming again that I should know this person pretty well already
I'd super love it if that person were to cook for me! (＾∇＾)
Like, just a simple meal of pasta would be more than great!
Because I think it brings out a person's personality, no?

After that, maybe we could go out for desserts? Watch a movie?
and later chill around somewhere pretty, like the beach!
Oooh you know what would be super fun, a visit to the funfair!

photocredit: here.

Like, those really old-school ones like in The Notebook and there's pretty lights,
endless laughter, kids running crazy and pink fluffy cotton candy all around. Sweet!
(notice how I didn't mention ferris wheels, I'm saving it for something else! ♥)

But in Malaysia, got hope for such a thing ah? As if! (*・_・)

Yeah that's so about it, because I'm boring like that.
~~but still damn awesome nonetheless wtf~~. NEXT!

Oooh afterthought,
or you can just skip all this nonsense,
take me to Japan and I marry you terus! Deal!

Day Ni.

2011-03-09T17:16:00.003+08:00

Brr the library's so cold I don't even!
A delicious mug of hot chocolate would be perfect!
But alas, I am stuck here with two Major Paper due this Friday FML (*゜Д゜*)
Anyways let's get on with the 30-Day Challenge, so far so good, no?

Day 2 : Your favorite movie.

MEAN GIRLS, FOR SURE!

simply awesomesauceness! ♥
incradibly witty script written by Tina Fey
great cast includes Rachel McMaximumPrettinessAdams
Amanda Seyfried and of course, Lindsay Lohan ~~before she went crazy on us~~!

and best thing is, it's been years since this movie's released
and people are still quoting them, making macros of their lines in tumblr!
plus, fandoms collide in the most hilarious way through Mean Girls! （＾∀＾）

Even our resident Mr. Fabulous gets dragged into the game!

Great stuff, ain't it?

Day Ichi.

2011-03-08T23:24:00.002+08:00

Because I don't have much to write about these days,

or rather I'm filtering my thoughts way too much for my own good

so stealing this idea from Maureen's blog, I've decided to do this!

It's a 30-days challenge, which is great because it's so much easier
when I'm told exactly what to do, or in this case, what to write about in my blog entries.

I can't possibly update continously for 30 days though so there's going to be breaks in between!

Day 1 : Your favorite song

Day 2 : Your favorite movie

But anyways, let's suck it up and start on the first one!

Day 1 : Your favorite song.

Ninomiya Kazunari's Niji.

#1 The piano intro is already beautiful ♥
#2 His voice is amazingly clear and in every syllable that he sings,
you can hear the how undeniably pure and real his voice is
#3 The simple everyday-life kind of pretty lyrics with a story to it ♥
#4 Well, Nino wrote it so. Unashamedly biased, aren't I? （＾＿－）
#5 This particular line that goes:

これからはちょっとぐらいのわがまま
言ってもいいよでも私にだけよ。

because i share the same sentiments in regards to being with someone.
you can say them to me, and i'd like to say them to you too. well, something along the lines.

#6 ohh and this line too, because it's almost heartbreaking.

何で言えないのかな？
「好きだよ」一言よ。たまに聞きたいな。

#7 Because this song always puts me in such a mood, Major Loves! ♥

Oasis.

Warm choco banana muffin.
Bittersweet dark mocha frap.
Arashi videos. Lots of it.
I am happy. I am contented.
I am in my own little world. ♥

"今日は楽しかったはlie" ♪

2011-02-26T10:24:00.003+08:00

Ok so this the the post where i rant my heart out and if it doesn't pleases
you then there's that little cross at the upper corner that you can click.

I am tired. Exhausted, worn out and every other words in the English vocabulatry yang sewaktu dengannya. See, I can't even spell vocabulary anymore wtf. Sure, this is mostly my own doing, I confess. But what the hell, just because I brought this all on myself doesn't mean I can't complain right? It's my bloody right. Judge me all you want. Sleep, I haven't been sleeping a lot. What DO I do when I'm wide awake at 4am in the morning? Going online, stalking Facebook and worrying about things that I shouldn't be worrying walaupun ada assignment berlambak yang tak sentuh lagi.

I've always thought that starting the assignment the night before was the worst thing I do, but yesterday we brought procrastination to a whole new other level. Deadline was Friday 5pm, we started doing it at 12pm! It wasn't like we were even busy the night before, sempat go yumcha for Clubbing Post Mortem lagi after midnight and lepak kat cyberspace up until 4 in the morning (hey, this is Gwen's song!) Priorities, what is that I don't even. Don't get me wrong though, I don't regret it. That was one hell of a fun night though I did kind of tainted the mood in the end. But hey, I'm just saying.

And then I'm up kind of early right now because it's so cold and yeah was thinking of doing my laundry until I get downstairs and the washing machine's in use. DAMMIT. Plus, I think my cough's back again, with a little sore throat tagging along. Lagilah cannot sleep, waking up to drink water and coughing throughout the night.

AND FOOD. I have not been eating much the past few days. There was this one day where I touched nothing for more than 24hours and still I didn't feel hungry! In the event that I do feel the slight pang of hunger, my appetite's so gone I really can't take in any food. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? I want to enjoy food and I want to nomnom max with my nomnom max buddies again! Oh wow revelation! This could be why I am feeling almost cranky and wiped out lately!

So yeah, on a nice Saturday morning, I am here ranting while waiting for the washing machine to finish it's job. In less than an hour I will be heading to Queensbay with the girls and camp out in Starbucks, finishing work. Well, at least that's the official idea. The unofficial purpose would be to camp out in Starbucks and suck up their bandwidth downloading Arashi stuff. Yeah speaking of Arashi, I haven't even been fangirling lately, WHICH IS SAYING A WHOLE DAMN LOT. New PV, single and performances pun tak download lagi since more than a week ago! What is wrong with me like seriously.

But yeah, I'll be out again later and tonight there's Project Wasted whoots! I kind off love my life right now, but not precisely right now as of this very moment I am typing this you know what I mean? Anyways, got to go and get ready now. See, even now my priorities are screwed up. Oh before I go let me give a HUGE [1999*4##111] to all the sweetest patientest (wtf is this even a word) people who are tolerating me everyday and yeah, i raff yuus! ♥

once again, gifs ~~never~~ not mine, tumblr's!

Let's not end this on a sappy note,
so imma just shout out right now that
I AM MAXIMUM CRAVING FOR HOIYIN!
Best curry mee in the entire world I don't even!

Nomnom Max Day 1.

2011-02-16T01:35:00.005+08:00

Okay okay first of all, sorry guys for lying to you all. m(_ _)m
I said I was going off to bed already but here I am writing stuff wtf.

It's already almost 1AM and I have tons of Japanese homework
to finish up for my 8am class tomorrow! Well, technically it's already TODAY.
Gasp. It's getting really tough you know, to the point that early morning busrides
to the class won't cut it anymore for completing my homework and three-times-a-week revisions!

Oooh and promotional activities to plan for
for our upcoming fundraising PERKOM Car Wash Event!

To add up to the stress, apprently there's a mid-term test coming up this Friday
along with a Promotional Writing (100% COURSEWORK) assignment due this Friday too!

Freeter!Nino gif credits to the ever-amazing tumblr! ♥

AND THE PERKOM Full-Day CAR WASH EVENT THIS SUNDAY!
AIESEC's Global Village Event on Saturday to attend (ALONE) too! (ﾟДﾟ≡ﾟДﾟ) *panics

Can't exactly complain ~~out loud~~ though,
been doing nothing but goofing off and having major fun since Friday itself!

Having stayed up the entire night (and only having a couple hours of sleep the night before) to complete the previous Promotional Writing assignment, I came back into my room on Friday afternoon and dropped dead on the bed. Received many texts and calls ~~that I blatantly ignored~~ in that few hours until came 10.30PM, I got a call from Faraha! I actually had take a few seconds to look at her name blinking on the screen and decide whether to pick up or not HAHAHA sorry!

But despite my hesitation, I did picked it up and AM SUPER GLAD I DID!
Because it was an invitation to go for some nomnoms! (*＾▽＾) ♥
And thus I spent the rest of my Friday night in some sort of sleep-induced daze
together with the Munch, Diamond, Faraha and YK, eating our way around the island!

Gahhh I miss having several places to yumcha in one outing/night!
Back in Kuantan, especially after FormSix, we always have to have AT LEAST two places to yumcha, didn't we? Third place to yumcha is optional, but always very much welcomed. God I miss those crazily boring (sebab tak tau nak yumcha mana dah) but awesome times!

So Friday was great, because we went to FOUR PLACES! (≧∇≦)
First up was Coffee Island for their yummeh mushroom soup. Sadly the pancake place was closed so YK brought us to some Secret Beach! ♥ It was really dark and quiet, but really really nice, with rocks trees and everything. Started getting creepy for me though after a while. Reminded me of the beach near the Tennis Court and Teruntum Zoo. Eee.

Thankfully the spookiness was soon offset by YK's collection of oh-so-funny-can-die-but-not-really-but-secretly-quite-hilarious-also-actually jokes! That sure was major fun hahahaha! Lepas tuh balik rumah ke home-sweet-Khaleel (Arti, Akid was there too tengah2 malam!) but because some of them couldn't get to eat what they wanted, we just had some drinks there and moved to Kayu after that for real food!

Gila tak power makan max sampai about 3AM? （＾＿－）
Nomnom Max Trilogy to be continued later! ~~No promises though wtf.~~
I have a feeling I'm forgetting some details though but oh well.

5am.

2011-02-06T04:43:00.011+08:00

in a blink of an eye, the week-long holidays have come to an end.

i find it rather odd that the less i do with my time,
the higher the chances of my remembering what i have been doing.
as opposed to the busier i am, the less likely i am in remembering what i did.
shouldn't it be the other way round normally? ;D

that said, yeah i've been home for the holidays!

you know, everytime i go back, i learn something about myself.
whether it is my newfound appreciation for Quiet Time Alone or Mean Bitchy Friends,
there's always that certain aspect that i find myself pondering over.

i wish i could express this in a much more articulate and clear manner
but i am not a certain newscaster named sakuraisho so i will leave this to your imagination.

on a somewhat-related-but-not-really-actually note, i find it a tad offensive when friends ~~complained~~ voiced out their slight dissatisfaction over the fact that i have been pimping arashi out way too much here. nah, maybe [offended] is too strong a word. perhaps [hurt] would suit this context better. no, [hurt]'s pretty strong too. well, figure it out for me, will ya? ;)

the thing is, i don't often say things here that i don't particularly have any use for. at least not anymore since the uhm opening of a whole new other blog to cater to that specific purpose teehee. seriously though, i don't want to make this an unnecessarily explanatory rant but all i'm saying is, read between the lines will you? believe it or not i am not as shallow nor as superficial as i'd like to be. it is precisely because of this natural disposition to ponder and care way too much about every little thing that i've grown to yearn for the carefree life of superficiality.

this would explain why Mean Girls is my favourite movie and not The Pursuit of Happiness wtf.

gosh we tease jerwin for being a Romantic at 5am
but i think i may just take the title of Brutally Honest at 5am.
i have a feeling i will regret posting this entry later in the day.
but i will NOT delete nor erase it. this is a journal after all.

going off to bed then. goodnight sugars.

P.S. 嵐, 最高！

not dead.

2011-01-31T14:39:00.001+08:00

just to prove i'm alive wtf.
i have so many posts in draft
but no mojo to keep me writing so.

a lot has happened in the past few weeks
but i'll talk about it soon. well, relatively soon.

i've chopped off my hair!
it's pretty short already,
and most of the uhm karat part's gone! :D

but having healthy and soft silky hair sucks i tell you.
effing hard to style it and it just wouldnt listen! RAWR!
i'd take damaged and wonderfully messy hair any time.
bring on the trashy. bring on the ke$ha.

oh and background's horridly edited
because surely you do not want to see
my roommate's clothes hanging out!

wow is this an intelectual/witty/thought-provoking/profound entry or what.

古里。

2011-01-02T22:19:00.001+08:00

Fuwahhh I'm on a roll here! I suppose I could partly give credit to the incredibly slow internet broadband connection, am busy downloading things teehee so what better way to while away the time than to write out some things here and there! (*＾▽＾)

Happy 2011 guys! What did you do, did you have a great celebration?
Did you partied like there's no tomorrow? Did you get drunk? ~~Did you get laid wtf.~~
Or did you spend some alone time reflecting on the past year and made resolutions for 2011?
I feel like I haven't been talking to some people as much as I should (and want) to so drop a line to tell me what you've been up to! I've been wondering lately if Ruru is still working in Gardens, if Char's exams dah over, is Pao still taking driving lessons, how was the champagne during Artikus' birthday celebration, has anyone gone out with JulieBiscuit in Kuantan and WHERE THE HECK HAS THE CMF@S DISAPPEARED TO?!

So. As mentioned in the previous entry, 古里。ふるさと。Furusato。It means hometown ♥

A special project by the five Arashi members who each went to different parts of Japan, the countrysides to mingle with the locals and work with them for a while as a sort of tourism promotion on the hidden beauties of Japan? Something like that lah hahaha I can't be bothered with the details and I haven't been catching up properly anyways but I do know that this is a song they sang for the project, as part of this year's Kouhaku event that they hosted for NHK.

(Gawd Matsumoto's smokin' pretty with his new hairstyle!)

山も風も海の色も

いちばん素直になれる場所

忘れられないうたがそこにある

ここは　ふるさと ♥

On another note, isn't it amazing how I always manage to relate Arashi with everything that I'm talking about? Here I was thinking of writing about that week in Kuantan and suddenly we've already gotten to the topic of these five dorky gorgeousness, complete with pictures and everything hahahaha but like I said, the timing's perfect. The song was performed on the 31st of December 2010, and anyone who loves their hometown could definitely relate to the beautiful lyrics~♪

Now that all's been explained ~~and promoted wtf~~, let's get on to the main topic then, shall we?

(HAHA i said that, but two seconds after typing out that sentence above I went to watch some Arashi videos instead! Do you know what if dipped in liquid nitrogen, a balloon deflates (and freezes solid) but when you take it out after that, it inflates back to its original size when it starts to defroze. Brought to you by the informative D no Arashi tv show! (*･∀･) )

ANYWAYS.

Yeah so I had a month-long semester break last month
and went back to dearest hometown Kuantan ♥

To be honest for the first few days I did nothing but sit in front of the laptop and while away the time on Arashi nonsense ALL DAY (and night!) LONG. staying up until the wee hours of the morning, usually 5AM and waking up during teatime, usually 3PM. I sure did paid up all my sleep debt accumulated in the last few months of 2010, with extra interest! （＾＿－）☆

Having hibernated under the comfort of warm, warm blankets for about half my time back home (GAWD WHY AM I SO CHATTY TODAY FYL), it was time for some socialising whoots! First up, we met up for lunch at Arti's because our MUET teacher Puan Zuriati was going over to her place for a little visit! It's been quite a while since we saw her, that other time we went over to her house to see her newborn baby girl, right? Now she's all grown up (relatively speaking)! Too bad tak sempat take picture masa makan, because Arti cooked (and Aqid helped) some yummy yummy pasta and even made DESSERTS RAWR!

I don't think I've ever seen cupcakes that blue hahaha!

It was so blue (and leftover wtf) that a certain individual had his suspicions on them for causing that certain individual's sudden facial muscle/nerve condition. Didn't stop us from nomming a truckload of them though HAHAHA the silver balls were very pretty for nommings. Next up, I want brownies woman!! I demand it! But ah we had a great time laughing, especially at all the secret jokes regarding ridiculous nicknames we gave the teachers and gossiping all about the shocking new couples popping up amongst our old schoolmates. Hilarious!

Teacher and us ♥

Aqid tengah busy memgambil gambar ini!

Oh wait, I just remembered!
Didn't Pao, Vrudh and I went for nasi minyak breakfast behind the dontknowwhat back there a couple days prior to this event? Yeah we did, sorry I forgot! Hey wait I think I even talked about it already, the one where we went to makan breakfast (what an unfamiliar concept wtf) and crashed Arti's house eventhough she wasn't feeling well? Yeah we did that huh hehehe!

Anyways after Pn. Zuriati went back home, we stayed over just a little longer just chilling ~~and more gossiping~~ until the few of us went with Aqid to the hospital for a checkup. Hmm I have a bad feeling that my timeline's all messed up. But whatever yeah we went to the hospital and to quote aqid, buat havoc kat situh! ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

sambil menunggu, sambil bercamwhore.

and so weird Khamal Afro was there too so uhm Arti grabbed his glasses!

and I was made to do the same hahahaha
I don't look quite as good as her though!

OK SORRY CONFIRM TIMELINE SUDAH SALAH
SEBAB PAKAI BAJU LAIN DALAM GAMBAR-GAMBAR INI FML.
Oh oh oh the hospital checkup was the next day, the morning (pfft) we went to Hoiyin for ~~only the bestest bestest chicken curry mee on earth~~ breakfast! Whoops, shows how bad my memory is hahahaha yeah now I remember, we went back home right after the lunch even with Pn. Zuriati wtf.

Oh lookie, belated birthday present! Mwah mwah!

Wrapped in gauze nonetheless hahaha! (*＾-＾*)

These are pretty heart-shaped glass earring. Yeah, GLASS YO.

and these, are the most gorgeous bangles in my favourite colour!

Prettiest things ever no? Thank you so much darl! ♥

Okay for the next event, I really have no idea when it happened wtf
could it be the same night of the day we went to the hospital? The load of us decided to gather in TC but sampai-sampai, so many people there and it was already drizzling lightly so tukar tempat, tukar to Old Town SABS (unofficial name HAHA)! and then the most serabut serabutness happened wtf someone informed me that Old Town was full, so I textd everyone to go to Bulan instead, which as just at the end of the same row. After grabbing a seat in Bulan and joining three tables, I was told that ONE GROUP ALREADY GOT A PLACE IN OLDTOWN WTF.

Fuckers thought it'd be funny to take a group phone picture.

Where's MY phone you may ask?

Being used to TAKE this picture, sebab tak layak masuk FML

I HATE YOU GUYS! Arti's phone also kononnya tak layak FHL.

Mind, we were all going in a group of three or four cars. So there we have it, my group in Bulan and another in Old Town. AND THEN see see the group who told me that Old Town was full HAVEN'T EVEN REACHED ANYWHERE YET and was still searching for parking! *dieded so fine in the end the Old Town group came over to Bulan and everyone met in Bulan, makan minum and lived happily ever after.

muhibbah much? ♥

here's another one!

or so some of us thought.

Halfway through yumcha-ing, we were made to play games. Not just any games, but the troublesome game of Mafia ntah apa and Police & Murderer ntah apa. Apa lagi, menjerit-jerit lah kat Bulan nak explain rules, nak memberontak, nak gaduh siapa jadi ketua game, siapa jadi doktor, siapa kena bunuh, nak break kejap, siapa nak order makanan (PAOSUEN) ini itu ini itu aduh bising btul lah orang kat Kuantan! （＾＿－）☆

Manusia Paling Bising #2.
#1 ialah Arti. Saya paling diam wtf.

I'm not kidding, after we left that place I actually felt my throat getting sore.
But still belum give up, nak jugak pi lepak kat pantai sebab plan nak gi tengok bapuk tak jadi. WAIT A MINUTE I think the timeline's getting weird again hahahaha the bapuk thing confused me for a while. Was that the night we actually went to Old Town SABS and chatted about the glorious world that is fanfiction and uhm gay porn wtf why is it always this topic when we're out with Terri hahahaha! Nemai we move on, yang penting gambar berlambak macam biasa sebab nak nampak happening dan ada social life wtf. Remember the hospital picture of Arti above?

This is the process of it, and the stylist.

Motif hair makeover di tepi pantai?

But here's the result anyways! (・∀・ )

and uhm another random one because I'm starting to feel

neglected right about now (in my own blog nonetheless)

Wah my hair so long ~~and gold~~ last time!

Yup, I recently had a haircut, it's all shortish now!

gambar paparazzi! jengjengjeng!

obligatory self-taken group picture ♥

Dammit I've just reached the limit of pictures I can upload here in blogger MAJOR FML.

Hence, abrupt ending because mood officially sudah hilang. Kthx~~chee~~bai.

Oh yeah and all the implied-anger are total terminological inexactitudes,

the fact is I couldn't be happier back home with these bunch of noisemakers.

There, I said it. Now let me go drown myself in Arashi awesomeness.

And go listen/download/watch/readthelyricsof Furusato. It says it all.

black pearl

2011-01-02T00:19:00.000+08:00

THE WEIRDEST THING EVER!
without any notice whatsoever, it appeared!

OK WEIRDER, i just remembered that i dreamt about this before wtf
this very moment of typing that sentence above with that title above wtf *goosebumps

anyways it happens often so back to the topic, SOMETHING CAME UP!

i woke up one day and there, it was there, staring back at me in the mirror!

i rubbed and i scratched with all my might but to no avail! (‘ロ‘)

there, there it is. can you spot the black pearl?

no its not a dirty spot on your laptop screen

and yes, that is a random mole on the side of my bottom lip wtf.

guess who else has one like that teehee ♥
her names rhymes with rumae wtf.

i really have no idea how the hell did it appeared there over night!

nevermind the slightly-fainter mole in the middle of the botton lip,

it's always been there. guess who else has one like that too! （＾＿－）

hello there good looking mr. matsumoto.

out of the 3474 images (yeah, i checked) in my Arashi folder,
i have like only twenty pictures of him so i had to use google wtf

hell yeah i'm talking about you you pretty.

oh and by the way people, happy new year!!

i had the bestest celebration ever ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ
and didn't got back to the hostel until this morning whoots!

but more on that later, because the timing just got perfect for me next post.
the next entry will be titled ふるさと。Furusato。
because it's the new song sang for the Kouhaku Uta Gassen last night.
and it is simply beautiful and just perfect for the next post!
You may want to google translate that to see what I'll be talking about ♥

oh yes, and happy birthday miss artikus! ♥

and RIP your childhood! ;)

1992*4##111 ♥

2010-12-30T14:37:00.002+08:00

This is the Christmas Gifts (Meaningless) PhotoSpam!! yup, that's that. loads and loads of meaningless picture from the two christmas gifts i received this year! there really isn't any point in this actually, just a personal record because i know in fifty years from now i'd forget all about it. heck don't say fifty years lah, even in fifty days i doubt i'll remember much about it wtf. but really, i couldn't be any more grateful for these presents ♥

☆--:*Hadiah Kurisumasu Nombor Satu! *:--☆

from the very same kindness in this post!

ok that wasn't really the present, it's just the packaging wtf.

open it up and there is it -
heavily Arashi-featured magazine pages,
~~a peeking Ohchan~~, posters and..bubblewrap?!

FOR THIS?!!!!! ∑(O_O；)

YUP YUP YUP, the latest ARASHI album [Boku no Miteiru Fuukei]
all the friggin way from Japan! Hurrah!! (o￣∇￣o) ♥

the prettiness inside! two CDs whoots!

the moar prettiness inside inside! ♥

and the obligatory Nino pimpage wtf.

the most ingenious song title - 1992*4##111

written and composed by Ninomiya ~~Oshaberi~~ Kazunari ♥

“好きだよ”とかそんなかっこいい言葉じゃない~♪

(these are not cool words like "i love you"~♪)

永遠なんて存在しないものだから~♪

(because things like "forever" does not exist~♪)

1992*4##111 actually means [thank you] ♥

ahem moving on now. goodness knows i digressed. moving on to:

☆--:*Hadiah Kurisumasu Nombor Dua! *:--☆

this is actually from another friend in Japan!

this gift is actually in respond to something i sent over

because they enjoyed it tremendously in Malaysia. (＾∇＾)

a much much bigger box! ☆彡

and it says confectionary on the item description form teehee.

pretteh card and sparkly snowflake stickers!

AND THIS!! THIS SO MUCH I DONT EVEN. (*゜Д゜*)

a whole 74362kg of candies and various ~~cuticle~~ cute nomnoms

(okeh slight exaggeration wtf sue me)

but it's really close enough to one whole kilogramme!

and as mentioned, the next 9712 pictures are
individual (meaningless) shots of the stuff in the box. (*＾-＾*)

hello kitteh christmas candy!

much prettier and cuter inside! ♡

can't say much for the taste though. ahem.

lookie, a whole packet of assorted Hi-Chews!

in grape, apple, strawberry and orange flavour!

(pretty obvious fact really.)

Moar hello kitteh maskot snack! (*･∀･)

i have my doubts about this but it's incredibly adorable

so i'm prepared to forgive it of anything.

Koala (NOT PANDA wtf) マーチ.

Maーchi? March? Machi? Town?

a long strip of five packets in choco and ichigo!

if i had to compare, i'd say it's pretty similar to hello panda. ahem wtf.

めっちゃ可愛いでしょう！♥

The next one, it's all kanji so i've no idea what it says wtf

but i'm pretty sure it's ume candy. plum candy. sounds yummeh no?

Now this, isn't candy. Instant soup i believe,
miso soup perhaps even?

in manila clam, wakame seaweed and shijimi clam flavour! (*＾▽＾)

Ok this one, i really don't know what is it!

it's biscuit, that's all i've figured out so far wtf.

with some kind of nuts maybe? chestnuts? peanuts?

somebody please tell me! hahahaha!

random fact: the first kanji 本 could be read as hon (book) or moto (origin/source).

why do i know this?
because 松本 reads as matsumoto. as in jun. （＾＿－）
plus, 日本 is nihon. japan. it's amazing how i can say all this

and yet have absolutely no idea what biscuit is it hahaha!

next up, Fran Creamy Mousse! ☆ i've always wanted to try this out!

but now that i've got this, mcam tak smpai ati plak dh wtf.

tadaa! the big picture hahahaha! super happy! (*≧▽≦)

2010-12-14T21:34:00.010+08:00

i can hardly call myself a movie buff
but i just saw the trailers for a couple of great movies
that i am LITERALLY DYING TO WATCH!!!
SUPER EXCITED, MAJOR CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! /exclamationmarkoverload

let me introduce the three must-watch movies of the coming 2011!

☆ 1. Pirates of the Caribbean 4 : On Stranger Tides ☆

FAVOURITE MOVIE FRANCHISE EVER EVER EVER!
and if the second and third sequel's any indication,
this is going to be great, FOR SURE! WITH ALL CERTAINTY!

Major welcome back, Captain Jack Sparrow! ♥
Major hello-there-good-looking-actor-slash-genius, Mr. Johnny ~~Kitagawa~~ Depp! ♥

Cast does NOT include Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly.
I am not their greatest fan but I dare say I've grown quite fond of their characters. Shame.
New cast include:

(wait for it)

Penelope Cruz! *cue (･_･ ) look

yeah i know. i was like totally (･_･ ) too.
but apparently Gemma Ward was casted as a mermaid!
yes, there's going to be mermaids, lots and lots of it uh-huh uh-huh *wriggles eyebrows

screencaps galore ~~because i have nothing to do like that.~~

~~now spot the rumoured Akanishi Jin!~~ （＾＿－）

☆ 2. Norwegian Wood ☆

Movie adaptation of the popular book by Haruki Murakami ♥
I love the book, I really do it's so beautifully subtle and I love his writing style!
Starring :
Kennichi Matsuyama (of Death Note and L fame.)
Rinko Kikuchi (of Oscar-winning movie Babel fame)

I'm super excited (and kind of scared too actually) for this movie!
Watch the (subtitled!) trailer, it's set in Tokyo 1969 so there's the whole old-school vibe to it
WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. and the breathtaking sceneries! (＾∇＾)~♥

look at the colour tones used, gorgeous.

I really am anxious to watch them bring these complex characters to life!
I've never thought that the character Watanabe could look like Kennichi, I had always imagined him somewhat homely and smaller, someone like Ohno or Nino perhaps? You know, the average-boy look that no one really looks at twice. and Naoko! I had that image of Aoi Yu in mind, perhaps a little taller but that kind of quaint quiet personality, the ones you never really know what they're thinking about. As for Midori, hahahaha I keep thinking of Becky! I don't think she's an actor but she totally charmed my socks off in that one episode of Himitsu no Arashi-chan. She gives off that Midori-vibe: well-liked, quirky, talkative but still girlish.

☆☆ GANTZ ☆☆

Double stars because it's GANTZ ~~and I'm nothing if not biased~~! ♥
Ask any manga-reading dude, I bet you 20cents they'll know what I'm talking about here.
Only one of the most popular classic Japanese manga ever. ASK JERWIN HAHAHAHA!
I talk so much but actually I don't even read this manga wtf too much gore and violence.
But here, watch the trailer! Full of alien-fighting, creatures-bombing goodness! (＾□＾*)

Good news is, they're releasing this movie WORLDWIDE! Yes, even Malaysia!
but but but, I believe it's going to be dubbed over for the America release, eff their lives.
Please don't do the same in Malaysia, please please please. Dahlah June only keluar!
I have a feeling I'll rewatch this like five times at the theatres. Oh and starring:

Kennichi Matsuyama (yah again, same dude from Norwegian Wood)
Ninomiya Kazunari ♥ (of ARASHI, Letters from IwoJima and about 85142others fame ♥)

blurry screencaps because there's too much movements and action!

Plus, I recently found out that Kanata Hongo's in the movie as well.

As a kid, he acted in Moon Child along with Gackt and HYDE! ♥

and as a teen, he was in NANA the Movie with Mika Nakashima as SHIN! SHIN! ♥

here, extra gorgeous screencap because I love Nino like no other.

spent three hours on this post wtf /nosociallife

downloading trailers and screencapping and editing

YOU THINK EASY JOB AH WTF THEREFORE

YOU BETTER WATCH THE TRAILER(S)

AND COME TALK TO ME ABOUT IT! OR ELSE!!!

'tis the season

2010-12-13T18:19:00.001+08:00

its incredibly stupid
but realising that,
it still hurts all the same.
i hate this feeling.
but there's nothing
i can do about it.
i hate this feeling the most.

消えぬ消えぬ
五月雨のあと
乾かぬ涙の痕
消せぬ消せぬ

because it's been playing on repeat since yesterday
because i love the heartbreaking beauty of these words.

also, i cannot get this line out of my head:

少さなすごく少さな普通の幸せ♪
such a small, small and humble/ordinary happiness ♪

~~i couldn't agree more. we have too much in common.~~
~~can i call you kazu? lets get married.~~

that said.

HoiYin is closed for the day! T___________T
how cooooooooooooooome, i want my super yummeh curry mee! *whines instead, we went to the behind Alliance Bank there for nasi minyak sigh it was suspposed to be me, pao, arvend, safuan and virudh but in the end it was only me, pao and virudh cilakak that other two! satu bangun lambat, satu lagi tetiba takde transport! but it was a good meal with good company nevertheless ♥

extra large to show you how much i love kuantan wtf

after breakfast, on aqid's insistence (not really actually),
we decided to dropped by arti's ~~spanking new~~ house for a suprise visit! only to be greeted with loud barkings and angry growls wtf and looking at her place, i seriously want a yellow-red painted room! like, yellow on all sides, with one bright-ass red wall just for impact. damn. but i foresee difficulty in sleeping with such bright colours hanging about the room atmosphere hahahaha chatted, stalked, gossipped, laughed, teased and some random frolicking later, it was already almost four hours since we were out. funny how meal times lately always dragged on for a couple hours huh? had to leave and let our feverish arti rest, made a little pitstop at Pantai Selamat where i got a little somethin' somethin' for a certain groban （＾＿－）☆

after all, 'tis the season to be jolly!

does anyone else remember the time in formsix
where i took the liberty of singing this particular line over and over again in the most annoying way WAY BEFORE IT WAS EVEN CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS? heck if my memory serves me right, i repeatedly sang it randomly all throughout the day in the first half of the year. oh boy was i annoying back then hahahaha i don't think i've changed much though, eff your life. (*^^*)

i'll be here in kuantan until the end of this week! so people, let's go out and watch movies okay? i am particularly dying to watch So-sial Network, Narnia and Rapunzel but have sworn my life to watch Rapunzel with the Grobe again in KL/Klang so we HAVE the watch the other two okay!! Yumcha too! This is not a question, it's a must! Ooh okay one episode of Mago-mago Arashi done! Gotta go! Toodles! ♪

p.s. am super bored of this blog design already! but am too lazy to do anything about it, somebody do it for me! i'll pay you with virtual cookies and real-life hugs! (´･ω･｀)

to be free

2010-12-11T21:20:00.001+08:00

Oh right. Now i remember why i ceased blogging here.
BECAUSE THE BLOODY IMAGE UPLOADER IS MAJOR FUCKED UP.
plus, the internet connection here is so messed up i dont even.
disconnects EVERY HALF MINUTE LITERALLY i swear!
i really don't mind really slow connections ~~because at least i still get to download~~
but when it breaks off every few seconds...ASDFGHJKL;
SO NO KL POSTS YET FYL. PLEASE READ DIAMOND'S.

That said, i'm super glad to be home at last ♥
(Abrupt Change of Mood much?)

i've never been one to miss home very much..

it's true, i can emphatise with others' homesickness very well but i dont feel any longing for home in particular.
usually i just miss the lets-do-nothing-and-sleep-all-day feeling that being home coincidentally offers instead. the only time i was ever homesick was those couple months after i got into university. but then again, this could just be a very good case of Denial or perhaps the Process of Detachment. whatever, we shall analyse no longer.

but when i do get home, i'm just really glad because the best feelings are all here :)

the feeling of waking up after a 12-hours sleep to an empty house
quickly plugging the speakers to the laptop and blasting out ~~ARASHI~~ music at an indecent possible-neighbour-distrupting volume while singing along with the cheesiest, loudest songs.

the feeling of not having to walk under the rain/sunshine/whatever just for a meal,
plus not having to pay for everything for myself teehee plus tons of yummy fresh fruits within reach! oranges, persimmons and kiwis omnomnom galore!

OH AND THE FEELING OF DRIVING YES DRIVING. major bliss.

the feeling of opening the fridge for the 64918th time just for the heck of it ~~while mom complains in the background~~. yeah i know, bad habit. can't help it!

nomming the most delicious, smooth warm taufoofah from the pasar malam ♥
and generous neighbours dropping by to leave some food/snack/pastries for us ♥

oh and it's been raining lately too. such a nice warm feeling ♪
it's rather contradicting, but the rainy weather makes me feel warm instead of the tradisional cold one tends to complain of in weather such as this. i love the cool breezy weather, because then, i can put on my uber comfy ~~albeit a little holey..YES HOLEY~~ purple hoodie (oh you know which) and sip on a warm cup of tea while rewatching my collection of Arashi tv shows.

if this isn't heaven i don't know what is.
though reading this, i feel like i'm such a difficult person to live with wtf.

i know i have posts like this everytime i'm home
but oh what the hell, being home never gets old. ただいま ♥

It's been a while, hasn't it? ♪

I got so occupied recently

ever since the last post
and the holidays started

I hadn't noticed at all

the fact that it's been a while! (;^_^A

until today during lunch
(or was it during dessert?)

with the diamond and the groban

i was told,

it's been a while hasn't it?
So get to it quickly!

Therefore, the conclusion is that

it's been a while. m(__)m

But i am here now!

I'll be back soon,
so wait for it! ♥

p/s. This is totally a parody that nobody will get! ;)

Ultimate Fail!day.

2010-11-19T21:42:00.005+08:00

Hello, Mr. Failboat Sho ☆

because he is the ~~gorgeous~~ embassador of fail.
Honestly I don't know what's wrong with today!

Everything just wasn't the way it was supposed to be. ＿|￣|○

How this day sucked.

(in point form because no blogging mojo today wtf)

Woke up late at 11.20am padahal meeting Grobe (aka Abuela aka Apriltan) at 11.30am.
Reached Jbtn Bendahari at 11.55am, rupanya tutup 11.45am sampai 3pm. *curses
Jalan to Bakti to makan, Chinese food auntie tutup kedai hari ini.
At Bakti, this bird hit the ceiling fan and dropped with a great thud on the floor,
barely missing our table. Major shock. ☆⌒(＞。≪)
After lunch, went shopping at KeMa. Found this gorgeous gorgeous notebook!

Colourful and sans lines, just the way I like it ♥
but RM12.90 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
So we got the brilliant idea to buy coloured paper and bind them instead!
Now faster acknowledge how utterly ingenious this idea is,
because otherwise you wouldn't feel as cheated as we did later! *hints darkly
Pergi bank to take money for school fees (at the end of the semester, no less).
Tried twice in confusion, only to realise that it was a CASH DEPOSIT MACHINE wtf.
Was supposed to take out RM1020 (fees were RM1009.90), took out RM1200 instead.
Went to a nearby photocopy etc shop to ask about binding the coloured papers, was closed.
Next up! Jabatan Bendahari : printer machine did not work!
Managed to pay the fees anyways.
Went down all the way to Art School to ask about binding coloured paper,
semua tak guna spiral comb yang keras (dan cukup berkualiti) tuh wtf.
Balik bilik. Wake laptop up. Geddit? 'cause it was in sleep mode! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ) wtf.
Got text message from Mukhlis said there's a meeting in like ten minutes.
*starts throwing things around in frustration

Commercial break! ♪

Gorgeous skull earrings for only
SATU RINGGIT YES ONE RINGGIT!
After meeting, dinner with the Grobe and the Queen (aka Zoe).
Bus waited at the Aman Stop for 15 minutes! Sorry Queen you had to wait so long!
Dinner Location #1 and Dinner Location #2 (aka Backup Plan) BOTH CLOSED!!
Lepas makan, almost forgot to bring along the umbrellas!
Back to the nearby Sg Dua stationary shpo to pick up our binded notebooks. Get this.

Total cost per self-binded notebook: RM11.10!! Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)

Bloody hell is wasn't even A4 sized,
only half of an A4 (A2? (･_･?)) in fact!

Meaning, including the cost of coloured paper,
total damage per book : RM 15.60!

WHAT IS THE POINT THEN,
OF GOING THROUGH ALL THE TROUBLE?!

2010-11-03T22:52:00.001+08:00

lately there hasnt been many personal entries here huh.
honestly there's not much to update, life's still like that.

these days i dont feel the urge for show-and-tells anymore
i hardly take pictures, my camera havent been charged for weeks
and the last time i uploaded pictures on facebook was almost half a year ago.

maybe im just getting old like that.
but here, for the sake of updating.

breakfast today.

crackers, toast, cheese, cake and fruit.

i sure enjoy a leisurely breakfast ♪

i say breakfast but in reality it was probably past noon teehee my bedtime have been officially reset to 4.30AM. i've been literally sleeping past 4AM for the past week! wasn't even doing anything academically productive, just browsing through the World Wide Web and a research work or two. But hey, at least i ~~recently~~ checked my exam schedule.

you see, im in kuala lumpur now, it's supposedly study week and finals officially start next week. but here i am lounging my heart out. sleeping, eating, reading comics and nothing more. went out and about town with the girls yesterday, i had a good time! thankyou to all the darlings who cme! (^-^*) though i am so broke now you've no idea, broke in both cash and card! the horror! i dont know how am i going to survive the next few weeks in penang, and i sure aint going to ask for more money from the 'rents.

after a day out

ah mom's here, just arrived from kuantan this afternoon!
and i am so sleepy now, because i've been waking up early the past days.
off to sleep then. maybe an ARASHI video or two first though ~~which will inevitably lead to more than three hours worth of videos~~. teehee.

★ You too, Ryo. ★

2010-11-03T04:32:00.018+08:00

oh shit i forgot.
i had bloody forgotten.
not only is it miss diamond's birthday,
but it is also the birthday of NISHIKIDO RYO! ♥

i didn't do a birthday post for my first love matsujun,
i didn't do a bithday post for my current love nino,
nor did i do post for ARASHI's 11th birthday.

but here, whilst still in the mood of birthday posts,
imma make a birthday post for dearest Ryo-chan!
and a little ending note of something i just realised! (*^^*)

Now, why do i like Ryo, who's not even an ARASHI member?

Well you see, in the context of everyday life,
Ryo would be the friend's friend that i've often heard of,
met a couple times before and have tons of mutual friends with.

first, he made me shed litres of tears in that drama.

secondly, he worked with my favourite girl, erika in that same drama.

third, he worked with Nino in that drama.

fourth, he worked as a Japan Airlines staff in that other drama.

how is JAL relevant, you may ask?
because they have an ARASHI Jet, that's why.
YES, a plane with ARASHI plastered all over the outside.

six, he sings in my exact type of voice. mmm.
(in case you hadnt noticed, i have a thing for voices)

seven, well seven, is the difference between him and ARASHI.

ARASHI is made of 50% cute, 35% dork and 15% holymama hotness.

while sir nishikido here is made of 50% holymama hotness,
20% dork, 20% cute and 10% sharp tongue. （＾＿－）☆

okay imma throw in another 10% of love for his sunshine-bright smile!

and that's seven reasons why nishikido ryo deserves a birthday post!
(that, and the fact that my internet likes me enough to allow photo uploadings)

亮たん　お誕生日おめでとう! （*＾＾）＾*）

11 years ago, September 15th, a group of five-boys debuted in Hawaii.
11 years ago, November 3rd, this same group released their first single, A・RA・SHI.
11 years, it took them 11 years to reach this peak of popularity
they've certainly come a long way.

You deserve every moment of this success, ARASHI.
Happy birthday, kinda. ♥

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

2010-11-03T00:43:00.010+08:00

ahhh it's here, it's finally here, the third of november!
happy birthday, sugar ♥ ヾ(＾∇＾)
*throws rainbow-coloured confetti

oh where do i even begin this.
how could i ever sum up the eventful one and half years that i've known you
in such a restrictive space, with these cold hard words?

im afraid i dont have the photoshop skills to edit pretty pictures like you did for my birthday

nor do i have the flair of words to write you a ~~smutty~~ fanfic featuring the pretty akame
(or one with ryo on top and kame at the bottom perhaps?)

nor do i have the wealth to afford you two tickets (another for mom dearest) to tokyo.

*bribes with pretty!jin nonetheless.

but here's a story.

you see, more than a year ago,
i happened to walk pass this bunch of people by the art school bus stop
they were laughing and chatting so heartily in their funky outfits
flashing confident smiles, one stood out amongst the rest
she was so strikingly beautiful. i looked at them in envy,
knowing full well i could never quite fit in with these seniors.

ah but fate has its way of stirring up people's lives (^-^*)

i was suddenly introduced to you one night at our second home, khaleel.
turns out, you're not even a senior, we're in the same batch! *gasp wtf
the days after that, i fondly recall the red 99notifications that pops up often enough
because we couldnt get enough of spamming people's walls
and making senseless conversations in facebook comments,

more KATTUN bribings (*＾-＾*)

and then, now, hundred of notifications and roti tisu later, here we are.
in this group of kindred spirits, in which one could talk about anything at all
and sharing the same values, discontentments and believes.

if i had to choose one thing to say about you,
it is that you always understood things.
whether spoken or unspoken, you understood them.
and you have a wicked sense of humour like no other （＾＿－）☆
and for that, i am truly grateful to have you as a friend.
thank you for everything,
from today onwards too, thank you.

i wish you all the happiness life can provide,
and all the love and kyaas your heart can hold.
i pray that your coming days will be filled with laughter
so terribly loud people might think we're insane! 八(＾□＾*)

dont you ever stop sparkling, miss diamond ☆彡
sorry, couldnt resist teehee.

"These rocks don't lose their shape, diamonds are a girl's best friend"

happy birthday intans!

（*＾＾）＾*）mwah! ♥

on human relations.

2010-10-28T14:05:00.002+08:00

"Those who are knowledgeable have rich conversations, and whatever worries you go to them with they can give you clear answers.
They have an extensive field of experience, so they can say "this sort of issue needs this…"
and show you more and more of the inside of their drawer.
So they're broad, but when each problem comes with a set answer, it ends up making them shallow.

A deep person gets lost deep inside their own thoughts, and then ends up forgetting what the hell they were talking about.
But they realize that the more you ponder over something, the less you're able to grasp the answer to it.
That maze-like feeling is intriguing. Aren't conversations more interesting when they don't have a goal or an answer?

For example, if an M-1 Champion guests on a talk show, they'll talk about the M-1, just as they would on other shows,
and you can imagine what they'll say, so it gets boring. Personally, I find conversations that go where they will more interesting.
That may be hard to make happen on television, though."

interesting perspective, no?

FINALLY BLOGGER WORKS WITH ME AGAIN!

i've been dying to blog about this,

you know how much i've been lacking er ~~motivation~~ time to blog lately!

i has it finally, (*≧▽≦)
an ARASHI 10-11 TOUR “Scene”～君と僕見ている風景 phone strap!

i'd been waiting for about three weeks when one day my dearest ex-roomie waiwai told me she saw a letter for me at the office and picked it up for me! mwah mucho appreciates! ♥

i collected it from her a couple days after, the very same day i arrived penang.

BEHOLD, THIS. (warning: huge pictures ahead!)

all prettily decorated with patterned-tapes and stickers!

a cute little note was included, with Tokyo Disneyland stationary!

okay i should be explaining myself here hahaha!

you see, i recently made a new friend online.

well, a few new friends actually who are very nice people.

this girl in particular, i discovered, is an ARASHI fan as well! (O_O；)

AND SHE GOT TICKETS TO THE ARASHI CONCERT!

to the KOKURITSU one! the one that seats 70000 people no kidding!

and so she very kindly got me the tour phone strap, among other things! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

said other things ♪

YES BANDAIDS! ARASHI BANDAIDS!

and this. the icing.

isnt it awesome! and oh-so-pretty!

i love the colours!

its like ARASHI,

but slightly less ~~crack~~ brightly coloured,

but still cheery and happy! (*≧▽≦)

my first official Johnnys goods.

oh the sweet sweet taste of fangirlism.

but wait! guess how much it costs!

2000yen. meaning just about RM70.

YES RM70 FOR A PHONE STRAP!

even without the 0 behind i'd consider twice!

which shows just how kind and generous she is! ♥

but hold on a minute, there's more.

she visited Tokyo Disneyland too!

and got me these pretties! (＾∇＾)
(i think lah. it doesnt say but i doubt it's johnny's goods right)

here's how it looks on my phone.

too precious for words. i'm like super careful with it.

and im so grateful, to know such a kind person!

there's another friend of mine too, i met from the same place.

she sends me pretty pictures of mt.fuji and autumn in japan.

it's great isn't it, to know such thoughtful people.

i wish i could do the same for them too.

thank you, you lovelies! ♪

next up, we've decided to arrange a little christmas box for each other,

by her suggestion. i've already started collecting little pretty things for her.

this is really fun, i love planning little knick-knack presents! (^-^*)

here's a little aiba-spam to end the post with.

just because he's been awfully lust-worthy lately.
like really. messy hair messy shirt; rawr indeed.
