Cute!


Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift ft Ed Shereen

"And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind."

On a different note. The power of one text, from the person whom you want to hear from most. That smile. Priceless.

Purple Contacts May Be Too Much Though

Your eyes reflect: Mystery and allure
People find you to be: Sophisticated, exotic, and intimidating

Your best trait: You can deflect criticism and make people forget your faults

What's hidden behind your eyes: A quiet passion


You think? =)

It's Always A Choice. Always.

I had a couple of negative moments today. One included getting into a minor accident with an "aunty" on the road. Another includes having ugly bangs to live with for at least another week or so because my hairdresser thought trimming my bangs senget would be a smart idea and when I hated how it looked there and then, I told her to cut it straight and she almost refused saying that it looked nice but did so anyway except her standard of straight isn't quite the same as mine. -___-

I used to love this salon and I had gone back to the same place for almost 2 years now. But I think after this once, never going back again. Then again, it's just me lah. So I got home, took a pair of scissors and cut my bangs straight. Still looks hideous, but well, it'll grow. For the time being, it's hairpins and headbands, ie, photo below.

Gotta cut me some slack with my narcissism, I had a BAD haircut!
It's worst than a bad hair day because a bad haircut lasts longer than a day!
The crappy thing though, is that my head isn't very hairband friendly. Hairbands hurt my head after wearing them for a couple of hours. Meh. Then of course, there was home-induced-stress as well. A serious question. Am I the only one who suffers from this??

But like I said, it's a choice right.

Sermon was great this morning. Incredibly inspiring. I get inspired easily though, this I have to admit. I keep telling myself, feeling inspired is one thing, taking action is another. Maybe I should start doing something!

Also, I had a good catching up session with the kawan today. Fish head noodles at a local hawker and some good coffee in a quaint little cafe, and some walking about and just being happy people. Love. I am glad that things are looking good for you too my dear.

And, I did two laps around the hill in the evening. I walked though, not run jog. But the effects seem to be similar to running jogging around the tiny park. I think it's the slope effect. Tiring but felt so good. And I smiled at every stranger who walked past me too!

It's true hey, that just the mere act of smiling makes one feel happier. So I just kept smiling and I think I was singing out loud at one point. I think the breeze and the extra oxygen going into my lungs was a nice touch too. Moral of the story, smile a lot + breathe in lots of fresh air, and you're making good progress to becoming a happy person.

And then it was salted egg sotong, spinach soup and fish fillet with spring onions for dinner with the daddy. My treat of course! And as if it needed clarification but I shall anyway, we ate out.

So all in all, today wasn't a crappy day. There were crappy moments, sure there were. Like how I am gonna need to look in the mirror and see my ugly bangs for the next couple of days... I think I can't live this one down no matter how much I tell myself that it's okay. Sigh.

So yeah, essentially, there was some bad, but there were good points too. I can choose to focus on the bad, but I won't (except for the bangs part - which I've already told myself I'll never go back to that salon). And later we're probably gonna have some sparkly wine which was a birthday present to me.

I hadn't expected this to be such a long ranty post. But well done having made it to the end, good on you.

Remember - Always choose to be happy! :D

She Can't Sing, She Can't Dance


Walks Like Rihanna - The Wanted

But who cares. Our hearts go boom boom, boom boom!

Pimple on my nose. Hurts a tonne. Gonna make it a point to go for pasar malam this weekend. Looks like a pretty packed weekend once more. Yay. All I need is some physical activity and that would seal it. Feeling lethargy mostly, need to get rid of that.

Have you seen that girl, have you seen her?

Simply. Beautiful.


Salvation - Gabrielle Aplin

Today, I learnt a lesson. That pinning blame onto others is as easy as putting hope onto others. Essentially, you can trust, but trust is only good while it lasts. Also learnt that shopping online really doesn't pay off well, in other words, I am not built to the one size fits all ratio.

That song though. Utterly lovely. Simply beautiful.

I want to be like that too - simply beautiful.

No Shame

 Pastel pink silk top & black skirt | Beige OL dress with slim blue belt | White peplum top & pastel purple skinny jeans | Floral print one piece dress | (clockwise from top left corner)

The first photo was what I wore to work today. But I tucked it in when I was in the office.

I've always wondered how people take photos of what they try on in dressing rooms and then post it on Fb. I guess the answer is, just do it. I wonder if companies can sue people like me us for doing such stuff.

Anyway. I have got flabby arms. Ugh. Muscles where go you? And if you're wondering why I look darker in the bottom two photos, it's because I used a different filter from Camera 360 which is my favourite camera app to date.

And today, is a day where there was some good, and some bad and a bunch of I-don't-really-know's. When things are beyond your control, you'd just have to accept it. Right? And just believe that everything happens for a reason?

Besides, who am I to judge.

Very Undecided

Very being an understatement at this point.

Ten Paragraphs

Prawn Peeling | The last time I had prawns was when I was in Hong Kong. Hm. I generally don't like peeling prawns. Think it all started when I was a kid and had an allergic reaction towards prawns, t'was when my very first ear piercing got infected. I had so much prawns at dinner tonight though, so much so I am pretty convinced I'm gonna get some form of prawn poisoning. -__-

Sore Throat | Visited the dentist yesterday. Had my teeth checked and polished. What's the connection between that and a sore throat you ask? Well, ever since I got back from the dentist, I've been nursing this weirdish feeling in my throat. I think it's from keeping my mouth open AND breathing in through my mouth for a long period of time.

Gone | Gone are those days where a certain form of anticipation filled my mornings. Gone is the expectation that I'd get a message out of the blue which would make me do mental cartwheels in my stomach from the excitement. Gone is the day that I look most forward to every year too, well, it's only 360 more days to the next one.

Drama Recaps | I have this habit of reading drama recaps. Some people think it's really weird, but well. I like it.

Online Shopping | My haul has yet to arrive. I am sad. And because neither purchases have arrived, I am starting to get a bit antsy. And my urge to shop more is growing stronger each passing day hour. But to be fair to the vendors, I paid on Friday, which gives them not much time to pack and send my parcel. So moral of the story is - Always do your online shopping and pay by Thursday latest so that you don't have to wait over the weekend.

Lazy Bum | I'm such a bum sometimes I cannot stand myself. It's like I have an entire monologue in my head  about the things I need to get done and I always end up not doing anything because it took too much strength to think through it all in my head already.

Candy Pink | I finally experimented with the pink dye from the bubble whip DIY kit on Friday. I had convinced myself that I'd go to Guardians after work, grab a bottle, go home and get it done. And I did. It was slightly pinkish somewhat red on Saturday still but after two washes, it's pretty much just brown now. Pft!

Nikon Ads | I'm never going to see them in the same light anymore. Haha, but in the positive kinda sense. Like, every time when the ad plays before the movie starts, I'd naturally smile. And smiling is always a good thing, when it's genuine of course.

Running Another Marathon | As hard as it is to believe, I am looking forward to running my next marathon. In all honesty, it's because the last one I did, I sucked so badly. I feel it is almost necessary to run a next one just to redeem myself and move on with life after that. My worry is that if I suck at my next run too, what then? Another marathon? Maybe that's why there are so many people who run marathons. o__0 Note to self: If you're gonna do it, please train diligently.

Headaches | I've been getting these recurring headaches so frequently these days. I wonder what's up with my brain. Please don't be worms, they're gross.

The Broken Ones; Dia Frampton | Maybe I see a part of me in them, the missing piece always trying to fit in.

I Love Sundays

Most Sundays. =)
