Uhha and then?

Looks like i've not blogged since April. That's a hell lot of time. From the days it was blogging everyday to this state. So here are once again some tiny updates...

Work

It has been alright in general. Feels like the students are my friends at the same time. Dealt with a bit of an issue at one point but i'm just glad that's over with now. How dramatic.

On another note, i've got blogshop plans. So keep a lookout for that.

It's the bf and my 11 months tomorrow. :)

and that would be one month away from a year! :)

HAPPY 11 MONTHS BABY. *hearts

And it seems to me that life isn't interesting to blog about at the moment. So i'll leave it at that. Maybe i will start blogging a lot more when i get my own Mac. I need the passion to write back.

April Bells Ring...

and then April creeps in...

If you're in my facebook, you probably already know of my rather blown up March- April's fool prank. (Yes yes, why so childish Ms. Chian?! :P come on! Some sense of humor!)

I have never ever ever had that many likes and comments over a status update before okay?

I can only imagine the regret of all those who 'liked' it and have push notifications on their iPhone or other devices that constantly update you over new comments. Haha.. My my.

and well, the bff didn't help by helping me add that she's going to be a godma.

Note. She didn't even say when she's going to be a godma. For the record, i've always told her she could be my kid's godma. Oh. And she found out it was a prank earlier because i gave her a whole 'emo-talk' on how she could be my best friend and actually fall for this too (not the only one if i may add. You people know who you are! Tsk!) I wanted to spare myself from the heartache of seeing her believe me when i've already spent my whole life pranking her. Trust me, it's ranged from things like me having a disease and dying soon and pretending to be a boy from the nearby boys school who liked her and wrote her a love note. SERIOUSLY. Okay, then again maybe she's just being an awfully trusting bestie who didn't expect it. K LA, i still love you la. :P

But let me explain in more detail on how flawed this prank is actually later on. (If you know me well enough that is...)

So how did it start?

I was almost duped by Ms. Steffi Ho on the almost exact thing just before i decided to steal this prank idea. SO yes, sadly i am not the original smart ass (haha WL, i just called you an ass. :P) who came up with this prank idea.

So why was it flawed?

1. If any of you looked at my recent activities just below that status, a bunch of us who were duped or knew of Steffi's prank were talking about it. Hence, just a little more scrolling down would have totally given me away. Then again, i don't

know how many of you have her in your fb. And okay, who on earth would really look at my recent activities anyway. Haha..

2. I am constantly complaining of how many unknown people there are on my facebook. Why would i ask the 'mass public' of idk who(s) if i should accept a marriage proposal? I would have only asked my close friends directly (assuming there is even

a need to ask anyone for an opinion over something as important as my own marriage, lol) Besides, would i want to risk having to answer to every single person on my fb who might want an invite to my wedding. I'll go pokai! :P hahaha..

3. Forget the 'young ' age (because i know too many happy young couples with children these days, so i am actually starting to strongly believe in young marriages/ families), then how about the fact that the boyf and i have only been together for less than half a year? At least a year right........

4. It was SO close to the 1st of April!

What have i learnt?

1. That i am still in touch with my playful side. Lol. Not that it's a good thing, i think? :P speaking of which, i gave my relatives a scare. Forgot bout them family who are in my fb. Lol..

2. That i have got SO many supportive friends who actually think i am ready to be married now. And also believe in me getting married to him. Wee! :) haha.. in a few years okay?

3. That i've got so few friends who think it's important to advice me on a matter as huge as this. Less than 5 people actually msg'd me to ask about it right after the update, and less than 3 actually told me to give it a proper thought because it's a huge commitment. I had a self- inflicted emo moment then okay! HAHAHA! Asking for it. Prank people already some more expect the besties to make a point to call me. COME ON! IF it were ME, if i saw any of my best friends saying they have a possibility of getting MARRIED, I will FLY there personally to ask them how/what/when all okay! and i didn't even get one call! PFFT! :P

My final note...

thanks to all who bothered to make the extra effort to msg me about it and even more to those who put an extra thought on it.

congrats to those who had a hunch that it was an april's fool joke & decided to wait b4 saying anything at all.

to the close friends who will possibly be my bridesmaids, please know that i will never let you people find out about my marriage this way ever? You people will be the first few to know after my family. Not after 30 people have seen and commented on the status. Tsk QT, Marie, Jiahui........ korang ah! tak kenal aku lagi ke... :P bleh.

AND FOR NOW.... Don't be too disappointed.

HEHEHEHE!

PS. I WILL NOT GET MARRIED UNTIL MY ARMS (as seen above) ARE MORE TONED. TYVM! :P

PPS. There's a very high chance i may have to stop modeling due to the rules of a new possible job. *hear my heart break*

Thought Diarrhea

in the good comfort of my piggy nightie all day, everyday.

I'm bored. So with that, found that as a pathetic excuse to liven up this blog by adding another post. Good for me. Yay.

Random thoughts of the day:

Have you ever passed a judgment on a new couple thinking "this person could do better"? I'm quite sure most people have. But a lot of times i realize that once you get to know the person that was supposedly 'not good enough', that the particular person turns out to be even better than the 'person that could do better'. And some people whom you think is super hot and could/should have anyone they want turns out to be scary and perhaps even bad in a simple thing like kissing. (inside story thought about here. lol)

Have you ever thought if a reason is needed to love and be loved? If there is a reason, then it won't be unconditional love anymore right? But how many people do you know love unconditionally now? If it were unconditional on one side, there might be a lot of abusing and taking for granted in the world. When have you last seen a couple that is both unconditional? It's because it's conditional that's why people have expectations in relationships too right? And without expectations there's no growth isn't it? Without expectations, one could do as s/he wishes? So i suppose, despite being pro-unconditional-love and pro-needless-of-reason-to-love, that in this realistic world, you do need a reason to love. But those reasons must have nothing to do with looks, wealth, and all those superficial things.

Ah, maybe i'm just full of shit. But poop is a vital part in keeping our body system going. Oh well. Don't mind me. Like i said, i just gave myself a pooping excuse of a reason to blog. Tempted to X this page without publishing it because maybe i don't make any sense. But nvm, i'll post it and hope in some twisted way, some of you get what i mean. Speaking of which i don't think anyone even reads this blog.

For now, back to the bed in the piggy pjs.

Oh! and i think if i ever get my own Mac, my blog would start to have overflowing pictures of me. Whoops! Pray that i don't get one then. Haha..

Updates in my very Dead blog.

Don't blame me for not updating my blog! I did say i would blog here very minimally and only when there's anything seriously worth blogging about. Haha.. but i figured since i don't want to spend my whole day in bed today (be it on sleeping, watching tv or reading.. they are all stuff done in bed for me these days. Such a lazy ass. :P ), that i should sit up on a proper chair, steal my sister's Mac which i have grown to love for it's speed, and go online. You see, going online using a lappie has turned into a chore ever since the iPhone existed for me.

So here goes, UPDATES!

1. I'm not blonde. My hair is still short, messy and in shades of i don't know what colors. Speaking of which, time for me to do something about it. I'm having mixed feelings between having it cut really short and dyeing it jet/ blue black (okay, blue black may be a bad idea if i'm going for interviews), or just letting it grow grow grow. If i don't let it grow now, i have no idea when i would ever let it already.

2. I just got back from Taiwan. Trip with the mother & grandmother. :) Talk about bonding session. I'll blog it in more detail when i sit down and ask my mum for the list of places we went. I hate being so noob in mandarin! AAAHH! It's like how i normally know stuff about wherever i go when i travel coz i write about it? But this trip was so hard for me to write about because i can hardly read most of the signs. I only know about perhaps 2 words out of a whole sign, especially when it's in the ancient chinese writing. Just you wait, i'm going to go for some intensive Mandarin course sooner or later. In fact, it is in one of my plans to go to Shanghai (since i've got relatives there) to do it for perhaps 3 months? When... that i don't know. :P To the closer people, pictures are up on fb anyway.

3. My job hunt has been futile. Because... i haven't been actively looking for a job anyway. If you've read tweets anyway, i did go for one serious interview. I've got other offers but ah, that's a whole other story. I did relatively disappointing in that one interview though, given the 'standards' i have and had set for myself. But it was a really good experience. I turned down the 3rd round interview because by the end of the second interview, i realized the job was seriously not for me. So, no regrets at all. All about the growing process and self discovery i reckon. Speaking of which, i'm thinking of part-time studying Law. I guess it's an interest that didn't die the way i had thought it had. But ah, one step at a time. In the meantime, i shall start looking at the bff- QiTing's textbooks and see if it freaks me out.

Wait a minute, how did my supposed-to-be-short update turn into a whole essay?

P.S. Time for friends to date me out if not i'll never bother changing out of my pjs and step out of the house once again. And don't give me sorry excuses like "But you only have time for the bf now." because honestly, the bf is working a whole lot and i hardly even get to see him now. :( so yes.

P.P.S. To change the new font of the blog or not? :)

Lazy to Laze

People say that the dog sometimes is exactly like their master. Looks like, acts like. In my case, totally true. THAT is EXACTLY how i look every single day now.

Well, you can call it a lack of motivation or having no drive. But if you think about it, i AM entitled to a few months (and it's only been weeks) of slacking before starting work. Right now, i should be having the time of my life. Only, i really am not.

I had plans to travel to a whole lot of countries after graduating. Well, Mumbai was done. But i was thinking about all around Asia, or all around Europe. Crazy long travelling holidays like that. But reality sinks in, i'm not.

Hey, it's okay. I'm 21... I have years more to travel.

But i am truly lazy to laze around already. But with that said, don't expect me to be going out every other day too. I kind of love not having to get ready to go out.

I feel my brain cells dying by the day. I feel like everything i have studied is slipping away from my 'self-suspected-dementia' brain. I NEED TO START WORKING SOON. I can't wake up just to go to bed anymore because i don't know what to do.

I need a drive and motivation back.

Congrats to me.

A Prayer for the Chinese New Year.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

on a smaller note, but not that small really.

Please pray that my grandma has a speedy recovery and can be discharged tomorrow?

I would hate it if she couldn't make it for reunion dinner because she is pretty much the most important person in the family. She is an amazing person and she deserves to be with her family on such a day. Not in the hospital.

To those of you wondering what happened, she's been not well for the past few weeks. And this morning she said she was feeling extremely awful and that her heart hurt. She's had heart attacks before and numerous opts, so to be safe my parents brought her to NUH. Their still checking through reports to see if it is really a heart attack or something else.

It's crazy how i just wrote that my first resolution this year is to spend more time with her and this had to happen. Heartbreaking.

Either way, i believe ah ma is going to be alright.

She'll be there for my convocation, my brother's, my sister's, my wedding, my sibling's wedding, and she's going to play with her great grandchildren. :)

Thanks for all your concerned reply tweets and messages people. And also the prayers. I'm sorry i couldn't do it personally one by one. I truly truly appreciate it. My whole family does. :)

MUMBAI Day 5 & 6 &.....

Okaaay so i do realize that i'm totally breaking the flow by blogging about the trip in parts and in gaps of days. :P MY BAD. But i can't help it coz i'm blogging with my brother's laptop and he usually is using it anyway. Or at least, he's using it when i'm actually up and not sleeping. Haha.. graduating has made me a lazy bum.

we went to Morshe ( i think thats how its spelled. i'm too lazy to zoom in the picture to see the spelling.) mainly for Cheese Fondue. Damn, i didn't even know they had such a thing in Singapore. SO... where do i get it in Singapore? It's sinfully good. We had two of it. Haha..

Yummy right... Damn, i wish i had melted chocolate with marshmallows now.

After that, we went to the Sports Bar. Because *jeng jeng* there was a Liverpool v Man Utd match which my brother and i of course couldn't miss. Plus it's pretty cool to see the 'sports bar scene' at Mumbai. Well, there were other fans there.. but if we didn't request it from the bartenders, they would have kept the cricket game or Asian Cup match on.

HOW WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIVERPOOL? :P HAHA

We went early. Coz we were kiasu like that. Plus with the time difference it's really cool coz the match was 8pm our time. My brother and i had a basketball/netball (in my case) shootout.

I WON.

my brother wearing my Liverpool jersey. And well, considering it's more of his size than mine.. it's fine. :P i'm wearing a top i bought in Hard Rock the night before anyway. :)

the crowd at the bar.

After leaving, we walked down the street and spotted a small stall that sells like carved brass keychains. Made a few for my family.

And then Pooja insists we eat this donuts that were beyond good. Thought i was going to die out of being overfull coz i pretty much drank 3 bottles of beer at the Sports Bar.

And yeah, it was good. Especially since i chose all the chocolatey ones. :) CHOCOLATE FTW.

Next we went for this carriage-ish ride. We could have had the normal carriage rides, but we decided to be crazy and take this one that spins round and round as you go. Needless to say, you end up screaming half the time along with cars around you honking. Instead of looking at the scenary. Haha..

After that we went to this old school looking amusement park. Friends from Singapore come in to JB, go to Danga Bay and think that the amusement park there is old school right? The one we went to that night was beyond old school. The ferris wheel was MANUALLY pushed okay. The way someone pushes you on a swing when you were a kid? Yes... it's the same way they help you spin the ferris wheel. It's pretty thrilling really coz it goes really fast, and it's made out of old metal which makes you wonder if you'll fall off anytime (being as heavy as i am now).

The next day... was our last day.

So i chop chop went saree shopping for the bff- Mariee.

I liked the one i got her. But she's taking forever to meet me and get it from me. GEE.

ALL MY EFFORT WOMAN! :P

i wanted to get one for myself but Pooja's grandma was such a sweetheart and gave me one. :) AND NOW, i just have to wait for an Indian friend to get married SOON so i have a chance to wear it. ANYONE? PLEASE GET MARRIED SOON!

We went to an Indian snack shop after it to buy a whole lot of nutty things.

Soccer girls, you know where i got your snack now. :)

Spent a bomb there. SEE! My brother and i so sweet right? Couple clothes some more. Haha..

Went to do last minute shopping...

and to a CD store to get Bollywood movies. I got two. One that a particular group of my friends will love watching. Only, that it ended up not having subtitles. GAHH! Bummer.

While waiting for Pooja, a sweet dog came towards my brother and sat in front of him.

He was constantly sitting around that area. My brother and i started having a convo on whether that dog is like Hachiko waiting for his master. You never know right...

Met up with Pooja!

And she brought us to a roadside store to eat Pani Puri. Something you only get there i reckon. She waited for our last day, so that if our tummies can't take it.. we can have our tummy flu back in Malaysia.

You have to stuff the whole thing in your mouth in one go so it won't spill.

It's nice really. I took about 6 of it i think? LOL. The face doesn't do the whole "it's nice" justice only because it's hard to bite with your mouth full. I don't wanna choke you know.

We went back to Pooja's for dinner. Yums. And then to pack up to leave...

ALL SET AND READY TO GO!!!

or NOT.

As most of you tweet followers should know, i ended up staying for 3 more days? Because we couldnt find my passport and it ended up being in the top compartment of my brother's bag (or rather Anthony's bag). One of those fateful moments, i can only blame my memory and my brother's inability to find secret compartments in bags. Haha..

So i had a few extra days, where i didn't go out much other than to the Malaysian Embassy when i thought i lost the passport. Okay, speaking of which , i just remembered i forgot to email the 'ambassador' or something that i am safely back. Should do it now.

But i got to see the veggie market on the way there.. and this is how it somewhat looks.

Veggie everywhere!

A picture of the room that i spent in for a few days. Pooja's sister's.

How can i feel not at home right? ;P

SO that's it. Mumbai for you.

I will MOST definitely be travelling to INDIA again and not just to Mumbai this time.

Perhaps not as comfortably as this time as well.

As to when i'll do it, we'll see.
