Coincidence!

Man, I'm sorry for the bad photo quality. It looked so great on my phone. Blogger app kills the quality!

So today was a really really amazing day :3 I had so many little little exciting things that made my day absolutely amazing!

But the highlight of my day would have to be dinner with my close friends :) at a Japanese restaurant :3 Though the lady could have been a BIT MORE FRIENDLY. But well, we shouldn't be too hard on waitresses(thats what he said), like seriously guys. Don't trouble waitresses. Get off your seat and get your own menu. We don't live to serve you okay. We just get paid to do it.

That made no sense.

Anyways! Being the pampered spoilt brat I am, I took the cab home because the winds were SO BLOODY STRONG, and not to mention it was spitting, and so so cold ): so I followed Re Gin back to her place, called a cab and waited :3

Okay, cab came yada yada. Got into the cab.

"HELLO, MY FRIEND"

What the heck, who is this guy

"Uhh, hello"

"Don't you remember me? Little Malaysian girl"

O___O

"Umm sorry.."

"You help your aunt at the restaurant right?"

"Are you the man who said you loved my country"

"Yea, I LOVE Malaysia"

"Oh HI!!"

So first off, I use the cab service twice every week to get back from work, sometimes 3/4 if I'm late for school :3 and I've met a LOT of cab driver personalities. Some really nice! Well, most of them are nice, they'd strike up a conversation with you(this is how I practice my social skills), and some of them, just.. Sit there quietly through the whole journey.

So, months ago, I met this cab driver who took me home and on the way back, he was really chatty! I got into the cab and we started chatting and he asked me where I was from, I said Malaysia and he said he LOVED our country.

You're probably thinking WHYY?!

But well, he just really likes our food. *shrugs Good man, good man.

So today we started chatting and when I got home, I had to pay him. CRAP. I only had like £5 left (i dont bring a lot of money out with me), and the fare was like £6-ish.

He saw that I only had £5, and he charged me for that price only! Which I think was PRETTY DARN AWESOME!

Not only did I get to meet this stranger again, I actually got a discount! And what are the ODDS of seeing this person again.

Just a random cab driver, but his kindness made my day :)

I love today.

Two more months to go!

I know I've been missing for a very very long time now. And I've been meaning to post something weeks ago, but well, I've got nothing to update ._. Life has been pretty much exams and tests for me.

Except for Easter! But well that's another story for another time :)

When I told my sister I was genuinely worried for my mock exam tomorrow, ~~because I put it off till the last minute~~, my sister's response to my procrastination :

Excuse me for bad grammar and the shitty quality of the photo, I'm so tired I can't think straight. Mock exam one after another has left me zombified for days now

Oh and today's my mama's birthday! :) Happy birthday, ma! Even though I can bet on the life of my unborn child that you'll never see this. I love you :)

Anywho, goodnight!

Side note : Omg! I used the blogger app on my phone to post this! I'm gonna start blogging more often now (one of the many lies I tell myself)

Meet my seal, Taco

Just a short post to let people know I'm still alive.

ISN'T MY SEAL ADORABLE. Say yes or leprechauns will eat your pet rabbit alive. If your pet rabbit is dead, it will be revived. And then eaten again.

Of Librarians and Chemistry

Dear diary,

I had a bad day. BAD

It all started after Biology class, when I went to the library with Fiona to finish up my bio practical write up and my economics homework, which was due tomorrow. All was fine and dandy. TILL THE LIBRARIAN SHOWED UP.

I was CAREFULLY replying someone on Whatsapp, trying to go unnoticed (because it is in the school's new STUPID policy, to ban students from using ANY electronical devices in the library, MP3s, mobile phones, iPads.)

AND THEN, THE LIBRARIAN JUST, HAAAAD TO SHOW UP. *rolls eyes. So I got told off, and yes, I do know it's my fault. But still, I hate getting caught. And I don't really like that woman because she acts as though as it takes a lot of skill and training to be a professional librarian. And I'm very stubborn and vengeful. So yes, I hope your drunkard neighbour pukes all over your car windscreen after eating a bag of Skittles, you librarian lady you.

Fast forwarding to the last class of the day, Chemistry. Chemistry teacher was NOT in a good mood at all. She contradicted herself MULTIPLE TIMES. Telling us off for NOT doing the sheets before hand, when she HERSELF said last time, to NOT DO THE SHEETS BEFORE THE CLASS, JUST READ. Then today she goes all "Why can't you do it without me telling you to? Talking to you people is just like pouring water on a duck's back. HOPELESS I tell you, HOPELESS."

-___-

Then she asked us whether we ticked off the topics we have covered on the syllabus sheet she gave us. We had to EITHER answer " Yes, I've ticked the sheets" or "No, I will get the punishment". I was pretty hopeful cause I did tick the sheets! Like 5 minutes before class ._. So me and another girl were the only 2 who didn't get the punishment. yaaaay. Btw, punishment was to come at 8.45 tomorrow, when classes USUALLY start at 9, for a detention -_- Yes, we are 18 and we still get detention.

I was pretty glad cause I don't have classes till 10.45am tomorrow, so I get to sleep in, and I get to wash my hair in the morning :) I hate washing my hair at night because it takes way too long to dry, so I end up going to bed with a semi-wet hair, and I can't use the hairdryer because my hair has been really dry after the bleach. So I really LOVE, my timetable because it's perfect :D

I couldn't WAIT for class to be over. Like seriously. THEN, a MINUTE before class ended, she told EVERYONE, to come in early at 8.45 tomorrow, for her to correct our homework.

So EVEN, the people who do NOT have a detention, have to be in COLLEGE, and 8 FREAKING 45 in the MORNING. Thank you chemistry teacher, thank you for contributing to the shittiness of my day.

I'm pretty sure there's a PERFECTLY good reason why she does these things to us, some deep Confucius morale behind all her actions. But right now, I can't bloody see shit.

That is all, thank you diary for listening to me.

New Year, New Promises, New Desktop

Happy New Year guys! :)

To be honest, I can't wait for 2013 to end so I can start 2014 ._. I just want 2013 to drift by because I honestly have nothing to look forward to but the summer :( I wanna go home so badly! But first, I have finish up my AS exams then I'd be freeeee to go! Again, not very looking forward to that either :(

And the holidays are coming to an end soon. *WAILS* I truly feel I've not fully utilize every second of my December break properly, it's all just, day by day of unproductiveness ._. If that's even a word.

In a few more days, my life would be nothing but, test scores and class averages. *sigh* I have nothing to look forward to every week, but endless tests and revision :( But at least I have a few events planned in between now and summer! An All Time Low concert in February on Valentines Day with Mel and Barcelona trip with my college mates in February! Yaaay :) Oh wait. There's also the DofE expedition assessment, which I'm totally unfit, unprepared, and not looking forward to. Why? Cause the last "practice" expedition, there was so much whining, complaining and the occasional screaming, I wanted to run into a tree hoping to drop dead -__- Seriously. If you're so scared of a little mud, just stay home.

ANYWAYS, I changed my desktop again, but probs gonna change it back to Stitch again cause the bright colours hurt my eyes @_@

Its Finn and Flame Princess, in fan fiction form! :3 Aren't they adorable! :))) Yes, I'm in a weird phase again :( Even my phone lock screen is a fan fiction picture of them

I just find them so sweet :') (even if I haven't watched the 3rd season of Adventure Time, but I have read quite a bit about them) :P

Anyways, I'm gonna go finish up my homework now :( And hopefully finish season 2 of Breaking Bad :D I realize watching TV series makes time fly waaaay faster :)

Xiao Bai Chai says HARRO :)

Hoping to start the new year with a bang! Or bangs, for my case :P Don't worry, its temporary. I don't like bangs :(

BYE! Enjoy the rest of your holidays, WHILE YOU STILL CAN :)

Expectations and Disappointments

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY CUTIE PATOOTIES :)

I have been really lazy on updates and I had too many photos to upload if I wanted to blog, so I think I'd update you, starting from Christmas day! :) Every other day between Christmas and October, I was kidnapped by highly trained ninjas from the Himalayas and forced to be their dancing midget.

SO! Christmas! :) Christmas morning was pretty sad, because instead of waking up to beautiful white snow, we woke up to hail. HAIL. As in hail STONES. Hail is basically, tiny pieces of ice, falling from the sky. I'm thankful they weren't the size of ice-cream trucks, but they still hurt. So, plans for Sunday mass was cancelled because I didn't wanna die from either slipping and falling, or getting hit in the eye, and slipping and falling.

After procrastinating my "rolling out of bed" session, I went downstairs and greeted my hosts and the little kids :) Little 9-yo- James was super excited he ran up to me and said,

"LOOK WHAT SANTA GAVE ME!"

"What?"

"Call of Duty Black OPS 2!"

"I guess Santa must be a very modern guy"

Then during mid-day, I went to Chai and Yang's place to slack till our hotpot session at night! :) It was a really simple gathering, but I really enjoyed myself :) We just sat round talking about our high school life, the good, the bad and the retarded. Then later we made use of the last packet of agar at their place and made MORE orange jelly! :D (I really don't know whether they genuinely like the jelly, or they don't wanna hurt my feelings so they tell me that the jelly tastes good)

Lol, we improvised for this jelly cause the orange peel had a hole in it so the jelly was leaking into the bottom of the cup ._.

Finished product, TA-DAAAA *again*

This jelly was special :) Cause Yang didn't wanna dice it, so he sliced it and placed it perfectly in the jelly mould :) Ain't it pretty!

Hot pot was awesome, and a successful one too :) Minus the part where the oil splattered on people's faces because the sizzling pan on top was too hot :P

We were all sitting round the table, awaiting our painful yet unexpected death.

Overall it was a huge success :) Minus the part where we had too many tao foo pok that we couldn't finish :( sniff. Always remember people, the greatest feeling in the world is not love. The greatest feeling in the world, is biting a tao foo pok drenched in curry, and have the curry slowly and beautifully burst in your mouth. It's like the feeling of a thousand butterflies, in one release. Because, love will always leave you, but the oil from the curry, will forever be in your arteries :)

Have a blessed Christmas :)

Autumn :)

At the start of the week, it was foggy for about 3 days. It made it much more colder and darker in the mornings, it was so hard to get out of bed and walk to college :( But after Wednesday the fog cleared and the weather was so lovely :) Slight wind, as the leaves drift about as though unwilling to fall to the ground, ohhh it was soooo pretty! For the first time in a long time, I actually ENJOYED walking to college!

BUT! If you're like my friend, who's currently studying in Bristol, because he cycles to college, the wind blows against his eyes forcing him to squint, and he has to constantly bear with the on coming flying leaves that hit his face as he cycles :P HAHA! Poor thing!

So yeah, just wanted to upload a couple of photos of England in the autumn! :)

Photos courtesy of Mr. Julius Ting :P I WOULD take a photo of the spiderwebs with the condensed fog myself, but I was running late for the bus :( So THANKS JU! :)

Don't they look awesome?! Look at the little droplets of water in the first photo! Couple of weeks ago was the spider's mating season. They were all getting in onnn with the ladiess ;) And there was SO MANY spiderwebs round. And yea, I walked into a couple without noticing until I got home :x Wonder whether I disturbed their sexy time

This was taken on Wednesday while I was walking down from college cause I had a half dayyyy :) The hill might not look steep here, but TRUST ME. For a person with short legs, its hell of a hike up -_- Owhh, love how the leaves are orangey-brown :) Like the faded strands of my hair -__-"

This tree was amazingly light yellow and pink! It's so so gorgeous! (':

I LOVE AUTUMN, BEST. SEASON. EVER!! I wish it could stay this way forever :(

Lonely movie nights

Yesterday I was SO BORED. Came home, had no homework and Wednesday(today) is the only day I don't have test periods, so I didn't have to study (:P), andd, I was feeling a bit down and lonely :/ So I decided to watch a sad romantic movies to kill time :/

Couldn't think of any, I even googled "Sad movies to watch after a break-up" -_- And even though I'm not recently broken-up, I just wanted something to trigger my emotions, cause well, I felt sad :( Everything that came up in the lists were all so "meh" So I decided to pick my own movie. THEN! I remembered Blink 182's "I Miss You" where it goes something like

We could live like Jack and Sally if we want,
Where you can always find me,
We'll have Halloween on Christmas

SOOOO, it inspired me to watch Nightmare before Christmas! :) I thought like, HEY! Sounds like a very eerie, creepy, love story, why not?

WRONG! It was not romantic at all, 90% of the time "Jack" was trying to be the main character, finding the "good feeling" inside of him and finding another purpose in life. And Sally is this sad, creepy looking rag doll creature who cares for Jack, a LOT. Like a little fan girl. So yeah.

Then towards the end, he finally realizes that Sally's his "good feeling" he's looking for. And what, that lasted 30 seconds. Then the credits start to roll. -__- Super potong wei. seriously.

The story line felt so genuine and original, but it wasn't what I was looking for :/ I still prefer Tim Burton's Corpse Bride to this though. Even though Corpse Bride was a bitttt creepy. But there's still something hauntingly beautiful about Emily :) I think I've said this before ._. De javu whoaa :/

OKAY! So the movie for tonight is,

I hope it's good! Otherwise, see me ranting tomorrow about it :P Goodnight!

I like trains

Played with electrical trains with the boys after dinner :) And I was so amazed! Cause when they asked me to play with trains, I thought we were just gonna sit on the floor and pretend we were conductors and stuff :/

Turns out it was trains that run on electrical tracks!! It was SO COOL! Maybe cause I've never seen it before, and, or I'm easily amused :P

I only took a few pictures cause I was too busy playing :x

Powered with knobs, that goes Forward and Reverse :P

Thomas the tank! :) The boys' favourite cartoon when they were kids :) William's current favourite!!

James' super antiquey train which he claims is the fastest amongst the rest! :PP

Here's a short video to show you how awesome the trains were!! :) And how fast they moved! This is just low-medium speed though :/ And the classical music in the background was not intentional! Though it really fits the scenario! hahaha :)

Another video to show you Thomas the tank! :) Sorry the video is so small D: I had to flip it with iMovie and it somehow shrunk after I uploaded it :(

NOTE : LOOK AT WILLIAM'S EXPRESSION WHEN HE SEES THE TRAINS MOVE :P

SO ADORABALLSSSSS :)

Electric train sets, so English :P

Bunsen burners and braids

Today for chemistry we were told to braid our hair. Yup. BRAID. OUR. HAIR.

Cause we were gonna do an experiment involving the Bunsen burner so our teacher (p/s: she's Indian) made all the girls braid their hair -___- Which in my opinion, did not make sense, cause the seniors didn't have to braid their hair during their practical! Why must we?! D: And its not like its that easy to burn our own hair unless we were "whipping our hair back and forth"

One of my friends even said "OMG! She's turning you guys Indian" HAHAHA

So last night, the day before the practical, I spent around 45 minutes learning how to do a French braid )': Cause my hair is not long enough to pull it to the side for a normal braid *whines* AAAND, after going through countless of YouTube tutorials and turning and twisting to find the right angle in front of the mirror, I finally succeeded, ONCE. The next morning, was in a rush, forgot what to do, screwed it up -__- So it just ended up looking like a wannabe French braid )':

Andddd, it kept falling apart and hair was flying everywhere cause my hair is still too short *grumbles* Butttt, made the best of it and made sure my *once pink hair* was visible!

Stubs of hair sticking out :(

SEE! My hair is no longer pink no more DDD': Its just some funny orange-brown colour. And the colour looks so unhealthy! So gonna re-do my hair during half term!! :) :) And and, my face is getting worse! LOOK! The redness is more intense, and you can literally take a whiteboard marker play "join the dots" with my pimples.

I WANT A SMOOTH COMPLEXION SO BADLY )': Been trying everything and nothing seems to work for me. And it really upsets me to wake up and look into the mirror and see pimples having a fiesta on my face

Orange jelly project! :) :)

Last week we had a small get-together at Chai and Yang's place during the Mooncake Festival :) And Pui Yi wanted to make jelly for everyone! But we didn't have a place to store the jelly, like a jelly mould. So I suggested we use orange peels! Since I got the idea from 9GAG a couple of days ago and wanted to try it out :/ And it was a total success!

Picture below was the photo from 9GAG k :P

We didn't use coloring, so our jelly was all transparent :P Less talk, more photos! :)

We had a huge problem when we started pouring the agar into the orange peels, cause they kept toppling due to the round BOTTOM :( Sooo, we quickly gathered everything that could sit the orange butts in :P Cups, mugs, bowls, plates etc :)

After a few hours.. :)

IT WORKED!! :) :) CUTE RIGHT!

Me and Re Gin with our jelly with fruits in em!

See how it comes off so perfectly! :)

Mission accomplished! :)

Super cute 9GAG post that I found and had to share :)
You give me the fuzzles :3 but sometimes I wish I could do more than just miss you every night :( How I wished things turned out differently, but for now, I just wish the days and months would pass quicker, so I can see you once again :)
