Technical Difficulties

Agh, had to delete my two previous post because there was a problem with the videos which made my sidebars disappear! 

Anyways..

Eid Mubarak and Malaysia's Independent Day on the same day! 

Initially I thought that Raya was yesterday, as it is back home but after being told that it wasn't.. and after researching a little bit after being told, I found out that Raya is only today in Australia. 

That was really awkward for me as I posted "Selamat Hari Raya" on facebook and happened to receive that comment. I have yet to actually reply that comment. I probably should..

Selamat Hari Raya once again and Happy Merdeka day to everyone back home! I wish I was home to devour rendangs and currys and all the kuihs! I wish I was celebrating in my baju kurung. I wish I could hear the fireworks celebrating two consecutive days celebrating Raya then Merdeka (if there were any that is..) I wish I could 'main mercun' with my cousins. I wanna wake up on Raya day, have breakfast and head up to pray. 

Shows me to never take anything for granted.

Selamat Hari Raya and Happy Merdeka once again! 

On another note, been crazy obsessed with piling up clothes together, mix matching them to see what I can come up with. Going through fashion blogs for inspiration. This was what I came up with the first time I tried. I even went shopping yesterday to purchase new goods for new styles but unfortunately couldn't really afford anything. 

Till the next time then. x 

vanity is not a sin

So I went to Kiera's housewarming today, thought I'd take some photos of myself as I hardly dress up.. 

Heh x

changed my tongue ring, it's a pair scissors now! 

Words

I wish I knew how to express myself in words. 

No, not emotionally I'm pretty sure I can do that fine. 

Express myself in opinions. 

Most of the time I wouldn't raise myself in class to give out an opinion is because..

Well, I don't know how to phrase my opinions. 

Words, I love words. They just hate me. 

It happens so often. Me, losing my way through a sentence because I can't find the right words.

Or not being able to form a sentence in the first place because I don't know how to phrase them.

Usually it takes me 2 seconds before I can start forming a phrase. 

Pathetic. 

There is not much a point in this post, 

but this has been on my mind for a while now. 

um.

Pictures? 

Just doing a bit of reminiscing and all of these are taken in KK. 

 Tshung Tsin Bazaar '10 

Heidi Chua & I 

 Sushi King @ City Mall 

This was taken in July 2010. 

It feels like so much have changed, yet.. feels like it hasn't been that long ago either. 

Kahmun Goh & I 

 Tshung Tsin Bazaar '10 

Tshung Tsin to me seems like a whole lifetime ago. 

I don't remember what I did, or how I did it. 

I am truly glad to be rid of that place. No offence. 

Alex, Ika & I 

 This was this year though. April 2011. 

@ Kara's place. It was a legendary night. 

I feel like a different person. The stuff I did that night I would not do now. 

I suppose I really did learn from my mistakes. 

Still an amazing night, no regrets. 

 After my first week in school. 

I remember I was supposed to do a photography assignment, but I had no inspiration so Adam & I decided to fool around since it was such a nice day! 

My farewell. 

Seems like forever since I left KK. 

Seems like everything has changed. 

It pretty much did. So much in my life is so different from what it was in this photo. 

And it's only been 8 months! 

blegh. 

Round 2

Fact #4: I have at least 2 of everything in my make up compartment. 5 mascaras, 5 eyeliners, 4 foundations, 2 blushers, 2 brown gradient eye make up. You name it. I kinda go crazy on it even though I don't use it much, heh.

Fact #5: I always switch my photo editing programs. I was pro photoshop a while ago.. and then I switched to picasa, then to photosomething-i-forgot-shhh, then now I'm liking iPhoto.

Fact #6: I have never lost any of my phones. I literally use it till the point of it's saddest state = death.

Anyways, 

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY 

KENNETH LO WEI JUN 

I've known you since I was 11, and we've been inseparable since! 

You are basically an extended brother to me. 

And a loser too. 

I hope you had a memorable birthday in KK, I hope you lighted it up on fire for me.

Miss you too. 

 Alex's Farewell

Your 15th Birthday!

Falls Creek 2011

A few photos, as promised from the snow trip! x

 Half way through the trip (2 and a half hours later) we made a stop at Benalla. Had a lovely lunch there where the pasta I ordered was absolutely brilliant! Stopped by Coles to buy some steak and meat for the barbeque and stock up on snacks as well. 

 Part way through the journey, again, we had a quick stop to take in the scenary. Take a few photos here and there then we sped off again. 

 Just arriving in our luxurious apartment. It was really what you can call a "party house".

 Just chilling out while barbequeing. 

 OF COURSE I bundled up warmly. 

 The morning after, view from our balcony. 

 Luigi! Also known as Adam Tam! 

 A bit of a play right by the side of our apartment. 

Curious child, tsk. Look how intrigued I am seeing snow. It was my first time.  

 The main ski lift area. After snowboarding for the first day. 

Amazing sunset. 

 A beer after a long busy day. 

Fierce.

Mister Mode: Fashion Night Market photoshoot before we left. 

Best form of Therapy

Gotta love retail therapy, especially when it comes in the form of a sleek and shiny macbook. 

Finally managed to get one to call my own.

Random Facts

Fact #1: I need sleep to function. Solid 9 hour sleep. If not I'd be either too weary or I will come down with a migraine. Maybe it's just psychological thinking that makes it happen but it does happen.

Fact #2: I hate ageism and sexism so bad. "I'm not a typical girl. I don't like shopping or wearing heels BLABLABLABLA". Why do we have to be stereotyped anyways? We are individuals. Different. Everyone. And with the age thing. "Oh no you won't understand you are still too young". Being more subtle helps. But it is still annoying.

Fact #3: I really would like to go on a 'surprise' date. As in.. the person who asked you out, surprises you with a fully planned romantic date. A picnic.. or road trip.. or whatever. A proper date. Where it's not like 'oh so where do you feel like going? Movies?' It's the thought that counts remember. No need fancy dinner dates..

Okay just felt like spitting out random facts about myself. Yep I'm vain like that. Bye.

Insomniac

I have no idea why I'm still up when it is already 1am, and to think that I was planning on waking up at 4am to study. That plan is over. In fact, I'm on the brink of a migraine right now.. I can feel it threatening to invade my poor mind. Whatever, let's move on before it really does.

Time has been on my mind alot lately. Especially concerning that time changes people and matter and things and everything. I suppose as time moves forward you do too (omgah i bet people are just like no shit bella). Anyways.. getting to my point. I've changed. Thinking back (how cringeworthy was i back then ew how did i ever have friends) I was the girl that all the girls didn't like because I always hung out with the boys. No.. it's not what you think. I just clicked better with them. I never had girl friends.I can definitely say this has changed this year. Now we (the girlfriends & i) are always scratching our heads trying to find guys to come out. Huh....
Not only that I used to be quite confident in talking to guys (whoah okay getting a bit cocky whoops) but like not confident but.. at least I didn't try to run away from them.

Yes.. I tend to avoid boys like a plague these days. At least boys I don't know. Something is wrong with me. Maybe being in an all girls school has brainwashed me to think that boys have cooties ewwwww. Hahahah.

Whatever this is getting way to personal for my liking...

I miss Russ

and my KICK

 and my family.. 

damn this was last December.. visiting Toorak for the first time. Things have definitely changed.

Falls Creek 2011

Seems like a faraway dream. 

and I'm craving for it bad. 

Falls Creek 2011

4 days. 12 people. Snow. Sun. Fun. 

Super fun.

So we went up to Falls Creek on Thursday morning. Can't believe it's Monday and over. Learnt how to snowboard? Although I can honestly say I learnt more how to fall than to stay up right. I'm hurting everywhere. Photos should be up soon so till then..
