Photo: Here comes September.

Before I know it, August flies by and September is here again. The last week of August have been pretty sucky for me; there are issues that came up and I needed to go through them. But it’s September now, a new month and it’ll be the start of new beginnings for my personal and my work life. Frankly, for work I know what to expect so I won’t say I’m thoroughly excited, but more like I'm feeling bittersweet about it.

Starting work means I’m another step closer to graduating and if there is any goal I have at the moment, it would be to graduate as soon as possible. With work, I don’t know if I can post as often as I wished but I will commit my time to still blog. :) Probably more pictures, less words? Anyway, here are some random self-portraits I did which were over-exposed on purpose (in case you’re wondering).

☀ + ☂ = ?

PS – Sorry for the word(less) back to back posts. I’m a bit tad bored, and I’m in the mood to edit and take totally random pictures.

Do you know what that kind of life feels like?

So darn distracted I cannot study. What the hell is wrong with me. Talk to me.

The Weekend Filler Post.

“It’s the weekends, the weekends…” to be sung in the tune of Friday by Rebecca Black.

So yes, the weekends have come and gone just like that. For the past 48 hours, I pretty much cannot recall much of anything useful that I had actually done. Yeap, I slacked off my weekends. Let just say it’s a bad habit of mine, because every time after I sat for any exams; be it a progress test, mock or finals, I must slack. Simply say, I’m really not in the mood to get back to the books. But I really have to, cause my final paper of an hour thirty minutes is on this coming Friday! And after that, I’m going to bogey down! Hehe. Anyway, I’ll post up a few pictures of what I ate and did during the weekends.

This is my Dad’s attempt at making Tom Yam Fish, it would have been a nice meal if it was not for the fact that the fish was bitter! Apparently, the guy who cleaned the fish accidentally cut the bile, hence the bitter taste stuck on the fish.

 Can you see what I see? Mommy cooked a whole big fat juicy chicken for dinner! I have never been so happy before! Recently, mom hasn’t been cooking up some real delicious meals, maybe cause they take up a lot of time and effort. Nevertheless, the chicken was awesome! Hehe. Roast chicken is next. :)

I finally got to paint my right hand nails. Why finally? Simply because I loathe painting with my left hands, they always turn out ugly. Anyway, I just wanted to point out that the OPI Black Shatter looks almost ugly on short nails. :( Seriously. I’ll admit that I didn’t paint the shatter polish nicely but I really don’t like it on short nails. Wait, till you see them on my long nails in the upcoming Pink Campaign post! I swear you’ll love those.

Okays, that is all for now! I have a call with my loved one, waiting for me. :) Tata!

By the way, I stumbled upon this picture on Tumblr and I cannot believe it is an Etude House polish! Which is why I’m running straight to Etude tomorrow to get it! Tee hee.

Can I wear this for my graduation?

Earthy Tones by Carmen Hong Kah Mun

Like recently, I attended a graduation for financial planners and I realised that in a few years time I would be in their shoes, except of course, I would graduate as chartered accountants. This got me thinking, about what I would want to wear to my graduation. So, I went to Polyvore.com and started to create a set. Ta-da! This is what I came up with. Do you think I could wear this to my graduation? :)

The Food Filler Post. [Part 2]

Hi hi! This will be a short filler post because I have an exam due this week and I haven’t studied yet. Well, I did try. But when I did the questions, ohmyholymama…. I got most of them wrong. So I figured I’ll take a break and blog a little because I simply miss blogging. :S

Anyway, this time, the filler post is about the lunch my mom cooked for the family. I’m not sure if you’ll classify them as Western or what… but actually I’m think it should be Western.

So, what is on my plate?

• Beef meatballs! (My absolute favourite. I heart the Chinese and the Western version.)
• Roasted garlic. (First time having them, and it might sound “Ugh, how can you eat the garlic just like that!” but it tasted really out of this world, unexpectedly.)
• Hash browns! (Again, my first time eating them. You can say I’m ‘jakun’. Haha, this was good too!)
• Black peppered hot dog. (Umm, so-so. Btw, anyone know of any restaurants that serve delicious German sausages? If you do know, would appreciate if you can drop a comment. I’ve been craving for them since forever.
• Mashed potatoes. (Can I be bias and say that it is good because I smashed them? Well, I did use my bare hands to mash them up. But the seasoning credits should go to my mom and sis. They used mozzarella cheese, plenty of butter and black pepper, that equals to an out of this world mashed potatoes!)
• Tomatoes and cucumber salad. (I hate tomatoes. So I don’t like this side dish.)

Till next time! My mom is awesome! Love it when she makes Western dishes.

The Food Filler Post.

Does this awesome, deliciously looking bun looks familiar to you? Can I also say that the picture is heavily photoshopped? (You’ll know why at the bottom of the post) :P

Anyway, my mom decided to do a similar bun in the same fashion to please my brother, who has been bugging my mom to make them… since my parents aren’t bringing him to KFC for the AM Smart Breakfast. This is how she did it.

It’s pretty simple if you want to try to make it at home too actually. Here my mom used potato bun, but I wouldn’t recommend that as you’ll get a salty and sweet taste. A bit funky, actually. Haha, of course you can opt to use a normal bun. And also, my mom didn’t fry an egg, instead she fried up some chicken patties and place them in the buns! Taste pretty awesome, and it’s almost hassle free. Of course, you’ll need an oven to melt the cheddar cheese on the top.

And now, you’ll probably want to know why I said the KFC picture on the top was heavily edited, right? I’ll show you why.

Looks damn disgusting, right? And to think back the time when it was first introduced and I had so badly wanted to try them. But I never had the time, which I thanked God, I didn’t, now.

A break from this world.

My lovelies. <3

If I were to take a break from this world and I could only bring two stuffs along with me, I would bring my Domo beanie (which I named him Dodomo) and my Canon S90, Cammy.

 Meet Little Dodomo with his new Lego earphones!

Valentine’s Day Guide: Forget those cliché gifts!

The most celebrated over-rated day is exactly two weeks away. Girls love this day, guys loathe the part where they have to crack their brains to think of what to get their beloved girlfriends without disappointing them, of course. And honestly, some gifts are so synonymous with this day that the prices rocket sky high. Plus they can be so cliche, it’s boring really to get that kind of gifts.

I would so prefer to get this kind of roses that will last an eternity than fresh roses. Plus, you know the guy actually put in tonnes of effort for this. Trust me, they are not easy to make.

Chocolates are too fattening! Unless you want your girlfriend to be fat, don’t give chocolates. Give her Sticky candies instead, they taste awesome! And they come in with I-love-you messages on it. And if your girlfriend needs chocolate to live, give her those strawberries dipped in choco. Mhmm, delicious.

 Teddy bears are so yesterday! These beanies and plushies are really much nicer to hug than a furry bear.

  I think if I got these for Valentine’s Day, I would go speechless… then scream OMG. Hahaha. Isn’t it sweet if your boyfriend turns up in a shirt with your initials on it.

Note: The pictures in this post are pretty, ain’t it? Some of them were taken from Google Images and some was taken by myself and grabbed from my friend’s FB. I took like a whole entire day editing these pictures and putting them into nice background in Photoshop! So do appreciate it. :)

My deepest, darkest secret is a good laugh.

I feel miserable today; I really do. Mood swings at its peak now. :( So, I thought of posting these few pictures. Made me laugh. A little, at least.

My artworks from Lower Secondary. Gosh, they look so fugly!

My deepest, darkest secret is out! I so suck in Art! HAHAHA.

And these, of course are the best of the lot. Got myself an A for it. I know, it’s nothing compared to any artists work. But hey, at least I don’t suck that bad. I’m much better off with my photography skills now anyway. :)

Have a good day, y’all!

Oh my! Stationaries?

I know I have been MIA-ing from my blog for about a week plus; well let’s just say I’m pretty busy with tonnes of activities.

My weekends was gone to a Homestay Programme in Perak (I’ll be blogging about it soon) and the following weekdays was spent in college. By the time I came back home after college, I’ll be too tired to even lift my finger. So, what more about blogging. On those nights I slept around 11 pm, which is early for an insomniac like me.

So, I thought I’ll post a filler first.

Alice in Wonderland themed journals! God, these look so pretty. :)

I could really use something like that. Hint hint. :D 

I love to blog-hop from one blog shop to another; it has become like my favorite hobby recently and I stumbled into Aly & Kate. And my, it’s not usual blog shop that sells clothes. They sell preeeeeeettty stationaries. They have planners, journals, decoration stickers… anything you name, they have it.

I want this! God, I love polaroids.

Ballerina rubber stamps.

Do drop by there, clicking on the pictures would bring you to their blogshop.

Maybe you do know, maybe you don’t know yet, or maybe you do know now that I am so so in love with papers, notebooks, planners, journals... basically stationaries. I have always wanted a Moleskin notebook which costs around RM 90 for one. The funny thing is I know if I were to buy one of those Moleskin notebook, I could never bring myself to use it.

 

I got this notebook for my birthday from Kimmy about a few years back and till today I haven’t touch the book yet.

Guess what, I still want more and more notebooks!
