Happy ‘the-world-ends-today’ Day!

Shot with Samsung Note. Edited with Snapseed.

If you’re at GMT +8 zone, it’s technically 21st December 2012. The day that the world is supposed to end, or half the world is supposed to end first. Because the other half would still be 20th December 2012. Now, it really wouldn’t make sense that in some parts, the world ends on 20th and not 21st. It wouldn’t be synchronized then, no?

#mindblown

So, when does the world really ends then? Well, we really wouldn’t know now. If we do, we are probably dead by then. I think it is times like this, with a pending ‘supposed’ apocalypse, that we should take a moment to appreciate what we have; the little things in life. The fact that I’m breathing and alive, with my family close to me, my friends who make me smile when I’m down and for the gorgeous sun rays that fill my mornings.

Today’s Blonde Moment.

Are you sure you're not blonde? #ThingsIGetAlot

I had one such ‘blonde’ moment today, a first in many weeks (but then again, the past few weeks have been dull and colourless). This happened when I was talking to A, my best friend. He was telling me about how he wanted to start blogging again, after so long. He had given me his blog address before but me, being the blur forgetful person I am, I had somewhat forgotten about it. But I did remember it was something with the words ‘skies’ and ‘blue’. I’ll let you read on;

Like I said earlier, I remember it was ‘skies’ and ‘blue’ and A told me it was in Wordpress. So, easy peasy I went to Google the three keywords I had and to my convenience, skiesblue.wordpress.com came up. Clicked on it, scrolled down and I saw pictures that I had no idea why A would ever post! It’s not porn, but it was this…..

Em, yea. And more and more of pictures of this guy…. Obviously, something weird was going on and I had to ask A!

And that was what A told me!!! I mean, wtf, at that point I scrolled through two pages and it was that many pictures of that dude I just believe what A said. I mean who would joke about this kind of stuff, right? Obviously, he did and thinks it was funny enough to troll me. HMMPH.

It turns out that his blog was skiesblueS.wordpress.com. I missed out by one ‘S’ and that made all the difference. Meh. Anyway, A beat me to blogging about this, so if you want you can read what he wrote; meme style! Link here; http://skiesblues.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/skiesblue-4life/.

I thought I’ll post a little more about how I’m doing and feeling lately, since I haven’t been updating much. Well, I, (hmmm) haven’t been the best I wished I could be. In fact, some days were pretty horrible. “There are good days, and there are bad days. And then, there are days that you feel so awful that you wished a sink hole would just swallow you in.”

Then, there are those days that you just want to drop everything and just leave. Run. Let time heal everything, while you disappear.

It’s really hard to deal with this, when suddenly all that I thought to be wasn’t what it was. I thought I was stronger, I told myself I could get through this. But frankly, I don’t have a clue. All I know is that despite everything, I keep looking back to the what had already happened. Sometimes really, (I don’t know if anybody will ever be able to feel how I feel or at least relate), when everything is lost, you find yourself missing and longing for it/them. You want to turn back the clock, you want to do things differently, you want to change. But you cannot. I cannot. And, it just hurts to be so helpless.

People change, but memories don’t.

21 days, the bro said.

If I told you I missed you, what would you do?

I miss my best friend(s). I know best, means having one only but I have so many friends that they are all my best ones. I really do miss them so much, and I’m really thankful for those who stuck on with me despite how insufferable, stupidly annoying and dumb I could be at times. Thank you so much, and I want you to know, that, it means the world to me. 

Of ice-creams, life savers and hugs.

There is only so much each of us can handle, there is always a limit to that. Imagine having to face heart breaks, one after another. How is it that you can still stand up to face the world with a smile, when all you want to do is just cry your balls out. Is it too coward to say, you’d just rather run away from them? But how long can you run before you get exhausted? Before you get too tired with all that happened.

At times, like these, trust me when I say ice-creams and hugs do save the day. If not that, you’ll feel better enough to face the world again. (I haven’t found my life-savers, yet though).

Frankly, honestly, seriously, I don’t know what to do with my hair. It’s not straight (those are rebonded, btw). It’s not wavy either. It’s frizzy and curly. So, can someone just tell me what to do with my hair? Sighs.

Photo: Tomorrow.

Will be sitting for my mock exam tomorrow. Failed the last paper terribly, I’m going to need all the luck to pass tomorrow’s test. Finals in 10 days more.

Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson.

Not as polluted as I believed it would be. :) Except the water is green, and the sand not as smooth as the offshore island in Pattaya. But, who am I to compare.

…#boyslikegirlsisback

Even though, Boys Like Girls are down to three members, I’m still excited to hear their upcoming latest songs. They were so good with the first self-titled album and then their second, Love Drunk. Their songs helped me through the tough times of high school, through the ups and the downs. I am sadden by the depart of Bryan, who claimed he got kicked out. But the moment he changed his twitter handle from @BryanBLG to @BryanEMB, I felt as though he no longer want to be associated with Boys Like Girls. So, yes. It seemed like his choice, wasn’t it?

Welcome back, Boys Like Girls. You have been severely missed.

Vintage Camera Wish List.

So, I was browsing as usual and I wouldn’t believe what I stumbled upon! Vintage polaroid cameras! I know that they have been around for ages but to be honest, I have never seen one in picture or in actual. And they just look so gorgeous and one-of-a-kind, which makes me want to have one! Now, top on my list of cameras to get are a polaroid, then a Nikon D7000, then maybe Micro Four Thirds and last, a lomo camera!

Hmm, since my birthday is over already, can I have these for my Christmas present?

Pictures credits to Loomography. (Psst, you can get the polaroid cameras for me from there. Hehe.)

“Reflecting on yesterday.” + [Eggstastic Pics]

So, it was Father’s Day yesterday but It wasn’t much of a “Happy Father’s Day”. A little goes a long way; it is also true that a tiny issue can affect, so much as, to spoil a supposed beautiful day. How can we let a day, an hour, a second go by with so much unhappiness. Sometimes, we have to know when enough is enough. And to learn to let go.

“Mom said, that maybe we should have done more stuff for my dad since we did so much for her on Mother’s Day. Yes, I got to admit that fathers are usually the less celebrated ones. Maybe I don’t know my dad well enough, but I do know that he loves me in ways that I, myself cannot put into words. Nevertheless, I love you, Dad. <3”

* * * * * * * * * * *

Well, I’m sorry to start off with an emotional bit but, it is something I had to let go off. :) Anyway, I have some pictures of some unique red-dyed eggs (those for the full moon babies) that I wanted to show you all. I did think how inappropriate it was to mash it up in this post but I didn’t want to spam by adding yet another random post. So, here it goes!

Chicken-poxed Egg. Dare you eat this? :)

  This is just ugh! Haha, so scary looking. Reminds me of an evil eye!

Find Penang Homestay Rentals.

These days we can rent just about anything; cars, rooms, houses, bags, clothes and now, homestay? Well, you read that right, it is homestay that you can rent. Have you ever heard of a homestay programme before?

home·stay (\ˈhōm-ˌstā\), : a stay at a residence by a traveller and especially by a visiting foreign student who is hosted by a local family

That was the definition of homestay from the Merriam-Webster dictionary. But these days, homestay aren’t just limited to foreign students. In fact, I’ve been on a homestay programme before and I got to stay in a ‘kampung’ house. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but it was a bad experience for me as the house was filthy and dirty.

My semester break is just round the corner and I might be planning a trip to Penang. I was considering in staying in a hotel, well, that was at least until I stumbled upon Penang Homestay’s website. Now, I have decided homestay was the way to go. Why the sudden change of mind, you ask?

 

Well, you see, the homestay I’m talking about is not the usual homestay programme or what not. It’s basically a short term rental of a room or a house, if you’re travelling in a big group. Take this condominium I spotted for example.

It’s a resort condominium, full with various facilities with 3 fully furnished bedrooms. I think it would fit a family of 5 comfortably. The idea is that instead of booking probably two or three hotel rooms, you can actually rent a condo unit for a few days. There is much more privacy and of course, you don’t have to cramp in a shoe box. I recall, my parents renting a condo unit before; I think it’s nicer that way than to stay in hotels. Plus, you’ll actually save some money. Guess how much the rental of this unit is?

Tada! Only RM 300, daily. That is way cheaper than a lot of hotel rooms! I mean if we’re talking about a family of 5.  Based the screenshot captured from the website, you can actually check the availability of the unit. Yeap, how convenient, right?

Pssst, I checked the unit for June. And it’s available after my exams, where do you think I’ll be heading to then? :)

Till next time, peeps!

Hi. Have we met before?

Soulless April’s Fools.

There are days when you feel so empty, alone, ugly. You think that you should put on make up to cover those flaws. But they don’t seem to help; they emphasizes more on your imperfections instead. Imperfections, you wonder why you can’t be fcuking perfect. That was all that you wanted anyway; why is it so hard on the soul to strive for perfection?  And while you’re on that impossible quest, you lose yourself, your friends, your loved ones.. you became someone else; you can’t even bear looking at yourself in the mirror. The only thing you’ve ever had was yourself and you’ve lost it. What do you do? You wished things would be like they used to. Then, you realised you’re back to square one, feeling empty, alone and ugly. And that life is a vicious cycle.

Kimberly!

Miss her like crazeh! <3 Meet my oldest, closest and best-est friend in the world.  (and my eye bags too =.=)

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!

Because life is too short for dull colors.

Some colors are so dull; labeling them as dull is an understatement. Neon is the new black. Oh, yes baby.

It’s my right hand, so mind you the nail polish isn’t properly applied. But I’m learning and getting better at it too. It’s like falling down and getting back up; I’m getting better in that department too.

 

Girl: Look at my toe nails! I painted it in your favourite color!

Boy: Wha…aaaaatttt? It’s too bright. Toe nails’ color aren’t supposed to be so bright.

Girl: :(

Hearts Thomas Sabo all the way!

Random #3: Skittles

They help me study. Someone owes me 18 more of these sugary study helpers.

The I-Lost-Something Blues

Have you ever had that feeling when you lost something, you just had to find that something back? And that no amount of money can replace that something which you lost? Even if you bought back something similar, you still can’t really replaced what you have lost and you definitely can’t forget what you lost either?

I’m having one of those moments. It really sucks because I bought a replacement but I didn’t really liked it. It just wasn’t the same; the casing, the brush, the design, the color. And you must be wondering what-the-hell did I lost. I lost my irreplaceable lip gloss.

I can imagine you laughing and saying, “Oh puh-lease. Don’t be so dramatic. It’s just a lip gloss.” Well, it’s not for me. It is so much more than that. I dug out like every other lip gloss I had but the texture is just not right. Sighs.

The lip gloss I lost is the one with the black thingy in between. The one in the picture belongs to my sister. So, if you ever find one similar to that, please tell me where I could get it. Thanks. I’ll love you forever.

Hunting for a new skin.

Not for myself, though I highly doubt that it's even possible. If the scientists are researching, can I make a request? I want a new flawless skin. Thanks. :)

Anyways, it's my blog who needs a new skin. And if you didn't already noticed, the skin or layout if you prefer to call it that has indeed been changed. I striped the old one off, with a heavy heart of course, but I had to since I couldn't identify the problem, It's something to do with Photo Bucket and exceeding bandwidth, which I didn't understand because I'm a noob when it comes to these stuff. So, before I took down the old skin I was looking for a new one but I didn't quite like what I found. I'm still looking around. If you know where I could find skins that you think I might like or is suitable for my blog, drop me a comment or a mail or leave the link in my Form Spring box at the side toolbar.

Right now, I guess we all have to deal with this Blogger layout. Oh, what do you think of my header? It's not much; I didn't photoshop-ed it anyway since my laptop died on me like a few weeks ago. And I'm using my brother's desktop. Super slow. But is doing its job well.
