It's A Choice

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed and figuring the next step to take. It's a choice.

I can either continue to feel as though my whole day is crap or,

I can make my day better by doing happy things.

I choose the second option.

Today, just this morning, my patience has been tested a couple of times. And mind you, I have a very small amount of patience in me. The fact that I haven't screamed my head off at some useless annoying humans in the comp lab is enough to prove that I am utilising that very scarce and precious resource!

Anyway, just a something to post so that people who also woke up on the wrong side of the bed can know that you are not alone and that your day does not have to be that way the whole day.

Good day people. Smile!

FML lah

1. My stupid less than one week old phone charm effing broke! T__T Can someone buy me a new one, because if I were to buy one myself I would be damn depressed.
   
   I managed to fix it. It looks a bit cacat-ed but at least it's not wasted lah.
   
   
2. My jaw is numb, I suspect it is something I had for dinner but everyone else seems fine and I had the exact same food as the last time and I was perfectly fine then.
   
   
3. The mother said, "Looks like your tummy is getting bigger". Double fml. Stop feeding me already. Edmund, I want to join you on your diet!
   
   
4. I am still not done with the freaking essay which I started since 2 weeks ago. I am in my super slacker mode. Bloody irritating not getting any work done all day.
   
   
5. My hands are so dry but I do apply my lotion but I have this tendency to keep washing my hands so I keep re-applying lotion. It's bloody annoying also.
   

My cacat-ed phone charm!!

小世界

It's a small small world after all.

Chinese characters up there courtesy of BabelFish. I typed, "small world" translate to Simplified Chinese.

Sometimes.

I wonder why people behave the way they behave, don't they know that it might hurt someone else or do they just not care? Or, should I be asking myself if I am too sensitive?

Sometimes.

I wonder if it's meant to be this way. You look around and you realize that what you thought was the case turned out to be something totally different.

Sometimes.

Coincidences are just plain scary because the world seems to be too small a place, at times.

Ironic how I was talking to a friend of mine just yesterday and I was saying "Why is the world so big?" when we were talking about places we would like to visit.

Nice video eh? I even participated in a ballet performance to this song when I was younger!

It's a small small world after all.

At Yum Cha Session Yesterday

We were in a conversation and Kev said something along these lines...

Ivy, you go back make Sao Shi (Sushi) lah, Mandy you go back MSN/ online lah, and Ai Li you ah...

.

.

.

go back wash face only lah! T___T

That's how "impressive" my life can be interpreted as at the moment.

Remember that post?

Remember the KCARE mani / pedi post I wrote sometime last week? I guess I am taking back the recommendation. It's been only a week and the nail colors are already chipping!

Even if I were paint it myself, it usually is able to last for one full week before chipping and that's FOC mind you.

But I guess, the whole purpose of going to the salons and paying people is more of getting the nails cleaned thoroughly. So, I don't know, subjective lah subjective..

Promotions / Shopping tips:

SHINS (I think) in MV is selling OPI top and base coat for RM57. So it's a good buy I would say?!

Also, Why Pay More is selling Ipanema's (selected range) for RM21! Urghhhhhh. Period.

I just watched Twilight. Yes, really finally. After so long.

Top 5 for Today

I haven't been posting much. I blame the lack of inspiration.

1. I just found out what an "Amarula" really is. All I knew about it before this was that it was a drink. Apparently, it is the second largest seller in the cream liqueur category after Bailey's Irish Cream (that is according to Wiki though). I can't wait for March!
   
   
2. I bought a new phone charm off a deaf ang moh lady who was going around McD PBD yesterday selling these tiny little trinkets from key chains to nail clippers to phone charms.
   
   
3. I miss my doggie!! :(
   
   
4. I cooked prepared my own breakfast this morning. Bread, fried egg and black pepper sausages :) with a cup of instant Hazelnut Cappuccino while watching Glee on Star Channel.
   
   Feeling rather random, I was just wondering. Brewed black coffee with maybe just a touch of sugar would be so classic, instead of my 3in1's.
   
   
5. My eye shit was black color. Haha! Kena tinted from the leftover eyeliner which I was too lazy to try to remove.

See what I mean by lack of inspiration?

Canggih

We now have this canggih-fied hot water drinking system back at home. Or at least I think it is canggih lah.

We used to have that massive huge water filter thingy whereby you have the hot and cold option. The ones that have the huge ass container which you have to turn upside down that one. Yes. Then I cannot remember what broke but it was thrown out because spoil already.

Then we used the normal boil already then keep in thermal flask system. I personally didn't like this system but what to do. Lucky me, the flasks got old and had to be replaced. And lucky me, the daddy is a person who is willing to spend on 'modern and unconventional' technology.

So we now use this tiny hot water boiler which runs on electricity and (similar to those kettles you find in hotels) but this is even better.

This looks like those 'push for hot water' flasks but the thing is, it constantly keeps the water heated at whatever temperature you desire. Meaning to say, it can be constantly heating the water at 88 degrees or 90 degrees so on and so forth.

And to get hot water, just push the unlock button, and press the pour out button. When the water in the (let's just call this cute mini canggih and awesome boiler, MiniB) MiniB runs low/ out, just open to lid to refill water and it will start boiling the water and keep it reheated through out the day.

Best part is, there's also this energy saver function! Just I don't know how exactly does it work yet. That part for later.

Running late for Film meeting now, got to run!

Mr Mao & Good Memories

This is super random. But it's one of those, if not now then when moments.

I was looking through my past assignments folder to find something to help me write the soon-to-be-due essay for my Psychology of Film class.

And I opened this file named MAO ZEDONG which we - Betsy, Sharon and Kevin and I wrote together for our Human Personality assignment.

It is 20 pages long and it records a total of 7,745 words.

... and it is a damn well written paper! At least I think and feel so. Really. As I was reading through it, I felt this sense of pride and amazement that we actually wrote something of that standard!

Then again, issues with standards are subjective but I think we scored pretty well for that report too no?

Anyhow, I now understand what Mandy meant when she said, 'This is not the best quality of work you have produced', when I sent her some of my other work for proofreading.

Looking back, the past few years we've all spent together, through the thick and thin, good and bad, through the stressful periods, through the happy moments, through the nights we all stayed awake to complete assignments, and all else..

.. I've learned and gained so much and I owe it to all you kawans who stood by me, who taught me lessons I will never forget, who supported me, who helped me grow to become who I am today.

Love you all. Sincerely.

If you've read my post on what I carry in my bag and if you think that I carry too many items for my own good, you should watch this:

Seriously, I don't think I am overdoing it already loh!

Okay, something to share with all females out there.

I went for my mani and pedi with the mom in SS2 today at this place called KCARE ( diagonally opposite McD, next to Guardians). They are a what I would call a all-in-one thingy. They have a salon upstairs, they sell a wide range of hair products downstairs and they have the 'nail spa' downstairs too.

The catch is this, they are having this promotion so you pay RM55 for both mani and pedi. OPI products and it's a relatively decent place lah, but don't expect 5 star standards lah okay. Promotion ends tomorrow. Hahaha!

The stomach is *ugh* bulging, think I should stop snacking now. T__T

Opps, I did it!

-_-

Yeah. I was playing around with blog templates and was sure that thought I had saved my previous layout but apparently I didn't so.. I was forced to change it and finally I decided on this because it is simple and I can't find anything to complain about it.

There you go.

With the change, I also lost some of my recent most latest links. A certain someone's link would be Mr. Small Bee aka Cheang Seu Foong.

So if you're reading this and realize that you're no longer linked, kindly leave your url at the-now-bigger-and-fatter cbox -__- and I will see to it that you be added again.

I was planning to write about something more intellectual today but it's all down the drain now because of this frustrating tiny mistake.

How do you like it compared to the previous anyway?

On a super random note.

You know how random (and sometimes, weird) people add you on FB and expect you to add them just because they added you? Normally, when I see no mutual friend(s), my mind goes straight to the 'Ignore' button already.

But then sometimes when you are bored or if you are so free (like me), you decide to check their profiles anyway, you notice they have a rather 'impressive' friends list?!

Watched Morning Light. Finally. Very inspiring, makes you think about what you can achieve and that through hard work, most things are possible! But crossing the ocean is just not really my thing right now, of course unless it's fully sponsored. Would be a good show to put on for a possible upcoming Sailors Night though. :P

Pedi and mani with the mom tomorrow... Yays!
