New beginning, new chapter

"Friendship isn't about how long we know each other, but the sincerity and quality in it." And most importantly, the ones who really meant "I'll back you up and be there for you."



 
 



 
 


                                   




Sweetest thing I ever received so far from a friend. So touched. :')

End of chapter

So after a year plus of endurance and tolerance, I have finally raised the white flag. I surrendered. I am tired of compromising the things that ain't worth it. As a friend, I personally feel that I should be treated the same like how we should be treated. I mean, if you call yourself a friend and you feel unsatisfied or anything, speak up. Being stabbed at the back is already bad enough, being accused for doing the things I did not is far worse than that. People told me I have changed so much and the reason why I changed was because too many things had accumulated till the point where I couldn't smile and I became negative.

"We are just tired of being taken for granted. Throughout this whole semester you have contributed nothing." I'm utterly speechless. Sigh. Some people have this perception like they can step on you just because they feel they are better than you. Well, yeah. In the end no matter how much you did, people will not be satisfied. I know I shouldn't have even blogged nor cared about this but I'm just exhausted and sick. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally fine now. I know it ain't worth it being sad or frustrated over this matter. In fact, I'm even more happier because I'm outta this. I chose to end our friendship and I know it's worth it because I don't deserve being mistreated over and over like that as a friend. Maybe a little depressed still, but I'll be fine I promise. The old Sapphire will return soon, in no time.


Moral of the story - No matter how much you do in the end you can't please everyone. Choose your friends wisely, care about those who love you, and be yourself. Also, be genuine and treat others the way you want to be treated.

Monday.. not my day

"If you're a fan of Monday, putcha hands up!.." *nobody responds* See, that's how terrible Monday is. Imagine yourself partying hard on the weekends, and the next day you have to wake up early in the morning for class or work, kills joy isn't it? Well, that's why people tend to have Monday blues and so on. Nuff said. 

So, my Monday was super hectic and depressing at the same time. I had been at the college from morning 11am until 6pm at evening. Can you imagine how crazy hectic that was? I know I'm not the only one, but seriously the college could have manage the schedule much more better. *face palm* At least let us relax and have a little bit of break after the weekends. Well well.. I guess life doesn't always go the way we demand or want it to be. 

Now let's talk about the depressing part, so the reason why I felt depressed was because I noticed that lately I have been lost, like literally. It's like, everyday I wake up and I go to college just for the sake of attendance and good results. It's like imagine yourself waking up everyday going to class for the same intentions and goals, it just kinda makes me bored and lazy after some time. Apart from that I don't really feel the sense of belonging anymore. Like seriously, compared to the beginning of this course, almost everyday I would hang out and do a lot of different activities outdoor. I guess perhaps it's a good thing now for having a distance with the bunch knowing that they did something behind of me before. Maybe this is what it's meant to be. In life, we have to deal with all kinds of things regardless whether it's good or bad. 
Probably now it's the stepping stone for me in order to be able to handle well and much more better in the future. I know this is just temporary, it won't last forever. I just need to be strong and have faith in myself, hopefully I have enough strength and courage to go through all these.. hopefully.

This is how my Sunday went



Wake up in the afternoon, feeling like OMFG IT'S SHOPPING SPREE DAY! I'M SO EXCITED! Homies be like, wert?! whaz so fascinatin.  I'm feeling extra hyper and lame today, excuse me. *clears throat, serious face*

So, my day was absolutely well-spent, Yeaabsolutely. We went to Times Square, Low Yat, and Sungei Wang Plaza. I gotta say it had been ages since the last time I went there, and it felt extra awesome especially being able to be there with my love. REALLY. You have no idea how boring it is going to the same places repeatedly almost every week. It's like gimme a break or allow me to jump off the cliff please.

Apart from that, I'd really like to thank my boyfie for sparing some time and effort to bring me all the way to KL. Not forgetting the black transparent maxi dress from H&M and the delicious dinner. Basically, just want to thank him for everything. He's a nice guy although he's annoying sometimes. LOL. Love you so so much, my irreplaceable piggy boo!



Love this dress! Appreciate it so much. Thanks baby.

#Latepost Horror-fest

So, it was halloween, I decided to dress up as a sexy devil. Well, I actually wanted to go for leopard theme but I realized it was too last minute and I didn't have an appropriate pair of shoes. Hence, imma stick to devil. 
Overall, I met a lot of new friends that day and I'm quite satisfied with my performance. It's just that the crowd was kinda dead on that night. Most of them seemed to not paying attention when I was singing. I mean, it's alright. It's just a minor performance anyway. As long as I had fun, that's all that matters. Also on the other hand, I'd like to really thank my boyfriend and my best friend who came all the way just to support me on stage. Even though she was late and she missed my performance but I'm still happy that she made the effort to come and support me. It's hard to find people like them these days. I am truly grateful and touched that I have them in my life. Love them so so much! <3

Copper red hair

HOLLA PEEPS! So, after like few months of consideration and hesitation, I've finally dyed my hair into copper red. I've gotta admit, this is definitely outta my comfort zone because I've never tried red before on my hair. At the beginning I was kinda skeptical about it and then, the outcome was surprising. It actually SUITS me and LOOKS good on me! WELL, good experience. I'm glad I chose this color.
                                               
                                               
The hair product I used.




& the outcome. Well, something new I guess? x)

Seafood @Port Village Restaurant

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this restaurant or even been to there before. & well, I gotta say their seafood was super delish. They serve like enormous and juicy crabs. (I'm not sure if it's practically all the time or I'm just lucky due to the crab season.) 
Overall, the veggie and prawn were quite decent but the crab was DELISH! Love how they cook the crab with Marmite sauce. Also, the environment was good. I love how the restaurant is placed near the sea, and I bet it'd be perfect going there at evening because we get to see the sunset while eating seafood. 


 So big so juicy. YUMMMZ.

#5th of Oct Working for Tiesto rave event @Sepang

Hi guys, it's been a week, I know. As usual, I've been really busy and exhausted due to work, college and assignments. Trust me, I even have insufficient of time to do my favorite activities like watching series, playing games and others. I feel as if my life has literally changed from free and lifeless to ultra busy. I find it really ironic because when I'm super busy, I kinda want my lifeless days back. Whereas when I'm super free, I'll be searching around for jobs and singing contests to participate. *ultimate face palm*

Okay anyway.. two days ago, I worked as an ambassador for Marlboro. The pay offered was 500+ so I decided to take the job. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I fancy working for ciggies, alcoholics and clubs. I mean yeah, I don't usually work for these jobs unless the pay is high.
Overall, it was quite a fun and new experience. I've gained so much knowledge about cigarette (P.s. Just in case if you're wondering, I don't smoke.) and also I've made a lot of new friends despite my legs and backbone hurt like crap. T_T *sobs sobs* It actually took like almost two days to fully recover.

These are the photos taken that day. MEET MA LADIES! :

                   







YUP, That's about it. 
I'm looking forward to work for more upcoming events in the future. STAY TUNED.

RESULT IS OUT!



Received the news that the result's out this morning. So immediately after class, I rushed to the faculty and collect it.
Well, to be honest, it didn't turn out as good as everyone expected it to be. Everyone was actually expecting an above 3.5 cgpa, even my boyfriend told me if I got above 3.5, he would treat me an expensive meal. But it's okay though. I know I have done my best and I'm glad that it all paid off. Don't worry guys, let's be positive because this isn't just yet! I'm gonna try harder this semester and achieve better result.
I KNOW I CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. CHEERIO. :)

I NEED A VACATION!

It's just the 2nd week of college and I'm already feeling like killing myself. I have two assignments to submit and I need to present next week. I mean like seriously, my college is kinda ridiculous sometimes. Guess what happened on last Wednesday? I went to my morning class, waited for an hour for the lecturer to arrive, and in the end I got told that the class was cancelled. REALLY? In my mind I was like "EFF YOU, I woke up at 6 something and came to class for nothing?" Seriously, there are so many things I wish to complain, but I'm keeping my cool here. Okay, calm down, calm down. I'm going to get wrinkles and pimples soon if I'm constantly piss off. *DEEP BREATH* At this moment, I really wish I can evacuate college, assignments, all the nonsense and go to somewhere peaceful and relaxing for a vacation.

Saw this on Google. It feels so magical & fairy tale-ish like a place where mermaids stay. I've no idea why but looking at it kinda ease my stress and worries. 

"After hurricane, comes a rainbow." - Katy Perry. I believe that bad things will come to an end eventually, as well as the good things. Nothing stays permanently in our lives, even ourselves, we will leave this place one day and it's unpredictable. For now I just gotta keep my faith, be strong and optimistic. I hope all these will come to an end soon, hopefully a positive ending.

First attempt Sukiyaki

So, I'm sure you guys would have noticed that I'm a huge fan of Japanese food. Well.. I feel that Japanese food is addictive as in, you just keep wanting more and MORE after trying it once or twice. And frankly speaking, I never thought that it would taste so good though. I mean, I used to not give a shit last time when my friends told me "Hey, you should try Jap food, it's super good." I would be like, "Oh really, whatever.." People usually say best things happen when you least expect them & yup, it kinda make sense. Agree?

So, after a while I have finally decided that I will learn to cook probably a few Japanese dishes. Honestly, I was kinda worried and skeptical on my first attempt, but fortunately it turned out to be good and I was so relieved, THANKFULLY. I mean of course, the outcome didn't taste as accurate as the exact sukiyaki but it still tasted good, and as a newbie, I'm proud to admit that I absolutely love it and I'm satisfied with it. Overall, the difficult parts of this dish are the slicing and flavoring parts, other than that it's fine and it is an easy and healthy dish. Received compliments from my family. Definitely worth the time & effort. GLAD, GLAD, GLAD.
To cook a sukiyaki, you need to prepare :

Sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup soup stock
1/4 cup mirin
1 pound thinly sliced beef meat/ chicken meat
1/4 cup sugar
2 medium onions, sliced
4 ounces yam noodles (shirataki)
1 cup sliced bamboo shoots
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup soaked, rinsed and sliced shiitakes
1 cube tofu, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 leaves Napa cabbage, sliced
2 tablespoons oil

Directions
Mix soy sauce, sugar, stock, and mirin together in a bowl. Arrange meat and vegetables on a large platter. Heat an electric skillet to 375 degrees F.

Add oil to the skillet and heat. Brown meat in the oil, adding sugar slowly. Move the meat to the corner of the skillet when well browned. Add other vegetables, keeping each separate. Add sauce and cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and turn all ingredients while cooking 2 minutes more. Serve on small plates.
