Happy 1 year and 1 monthsary!

HAPPY 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTHSARY!! I'm so happy that we're able to make it till this day. We have gone through so many ups and downs together; obstacles, challenges, arguments, sweet and lovely moments. You're the first guy who taught me so many things, brought me to new places, and also gave me so much excitement. I couldn't ask for a better relationship. x
It was our anniversary, and so I decided to bake some red velvet cupcakes for my boyfriend. To be honest, it had been approximately 6-7 months I last baked any cakes and I actually thought my baking skills would have deteriorated BUT thankfully and fortunately, my first attempt red velvet cupcakes was a total success! I'm just so glad and relieved! 

If you're wondering how to bake red velvet cupcakes, you may refer to this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/red-velvet-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese-frosting-recipe/index.html  
BAKING IS FUN, FUN, FUUUNNN.

We had Thai food for our dinner and it was delicious and satisfying. The Tom Yam soup tasted spicy but good. Overall, it was a simple anniversary celebration and I'm happy as long as he is with me. I'm looking forward to create more awesome memories with you darling. ILY. 

The best in my heart.

Le spicy seafood Tomyam soup.


Pineapple fried rice. SUPER GOOD! MUST TRY!

#NoteToSelf&Others Be you, be original

Be you, be original simply means be your own version and be real. I notice that people around me always say, "Damn, I wish I have skinnier legs just like hers", "I wish I can be like her", etc. Frankly speaking, even myself too, it is undeniable that sometimes I do compare myself with others. Yes, we humans are never satisfied with ourselves. E.g. you have an Iphone 4, but you demand for an Iphone 5. But this is what I realized, if you are going to compare yourself with others, you are not going to be happy or satisfied with yourself no matter what. Trust me.

I notice that people who often compare themselves with others are usually the ones that have pretty low self esteem. I mean, I'm not stereotyping, labeling or judging anyone here. Think about it, why do they compare with others? Some people say "Women are haters/ jealous creatures." Actually, not all. Some women are naturally haters or jealous creatures because they have low self esteem, insecure or they're not satisfied with the way they are. That is why you see, they tend to put on layers of make up, so that they can cover the imperfections and cope with the society. 
Also another thing, the media has influenced people by creating this picture-perfect image of what everyone wishes to be, whether it is skinny, fit, photoshopped beauty, etc. Truth is, there is no PERFECTION, unless you're a Barbie. No one is perfect and media doesn't display that. In fact, the media encourages everyone to be a different version of themselves and to live in denial. People need to stop dreaming that they would look like Kim Kardashian, Mila Kunis, and Megan Fox. You're not the girl you wish to be or the girl from the magazine. It will never happen unless you decide to be plastic. No offense people but get real!

          

Think of this way, "I am me, and you are you. I have good friends, family, relationship or others, and I am content with my life." and trust me, you will feel so much better rather than constantly comparing yourself with the rest. I strongly believe that god created each of us differently so that we are unique in our own way. Also, I personally think that everyone is beautiful in their own way. So don't compare, be content with yourself. Always remember that you are definitely special because you are you and your own version.

People come and go

They say people come and go. It's true. They do come and go..
Looking back at my high school times, I used to have bunch of friends who told me that we would always have each other's back no matter what. Sadly and unfortunately, things did not turn out that way. Most of us stopped keeping in touch ever since we graduated from high school. Not to say all, I mean, I still keep in touch with a few of them through Facebook and WhatsApp. I believe that most of us have changed. We were so busy pursuing our dreams and careers, hanging out with new friends, etc. I mean, even myself too. I admit, I've changed a lot in terms of mindset and attitude. I'm no longer naive, extremely active, super self-centered, and arrogant like how I used to be. But no matter what, I know that one thing is for sure, if they really treated me as their true friend, they would have at least put in some effort to maintain our friendship, and they would have at least tried to text or call me.

Yes, nobody likes being forgotten. The feeling sucks knowing that you were once an important person to them, and now you're just completely terminated or erased from their lives. Sadly, there's nothing we can do about it. We can't beg them to stay. Just like what we usually say, "it takes two hands to clap", we can't patch things up without them putting in any effort at all. And yes, we can't do anything but to accept the fact that they're gone, and move on.
Oh well, but look at the bright side, it's also an advantage that at least we get to identify who are the true ones, and who aren't. At least now, I have found my true friends and I know that they will always have my back no matter what. I strongly believe that those who are meant to be in your life, will stay despite what happen and how far the distance is.

So don't frown. SMILE AND MOVE ON. There is no point crying or whining over an expired bread or spoiled milk. Exactly, we can't do anything about it. So just try to occupy yourself with your hobby or favorite activities, and hang out with a couple or group of new friends. You can't just sit down and complain that people come and go but don't do anything about it. And if things don't turn out well, just remember at least you have tried. You have a choice. x

Language and social skills deteriorating

So after like no-idea-exactly-how-many-years of not maintaining or developing a healthy reading habit, I have finally made up my mind that I am gonna read at least once to thrice per day. Well, I am not exactly a fan of books and long essays or articles because number 1, they bore me out, and number 2, lack of interest. But I realize that reading is actually quite essential to all of us. And that is why we need to read, like it or not.

I noticed that recently I have trouble constructing a sentence due to a super long time of not reading or picking up some new vocabs to learn. I mean like seriously, I have lost some confidence in talking and writing. Trust me, even now, I'm having a little difficulty to construct a fine sentence, and NO, I wasn't like this before. Few months ago, I actually had a pretty high self-esteem in all that like I can just talk confidently and naturally.
I guess one of the reasons why my languages and social skills have been deteriorating is because I'm constantly in front of my laptop and phone. Well, not to say 24/7, OF COURSE. HAHAHA. I'd go crazy myself if I were. Maybe like 5 hours a day? Humans tend to get lazy and comfortable once they have everything they needed. Like, we have all the applications on the phone, hence we start to take things a little too comfortable because we feel convenient and satisfied with what we have. And once we are comfortable and contented with our lives, we feel lazy and not motivated to do anything else. And therefore, my languages deteriorated because I stopped reading. And this is bad, I know. Also, I think it's essential for me to hang out with my friends to maintain a good and healthy social lifestyle.

I won't say my English is excellent or perfect, I mean, I can speak and write decently. It's just that sometimes I have difficulty expressing certain vocabularies and it sucks because I used to know that word and then all of a sudden I just kinda got unfamiliar with it because I haven't been using it for a while. And, I even have certain epic fail pronunciation of words. Have you all ever thought of impressing anyone with your new-learned vocabulary and you just kinda pronounce it wrongly, and the next minute the person notice it and correct it for you. It's kinda embarrassing though, but at least we learn. And life goes on.
Just in case if you're wondering, my chinese is worse. Some of my friends told me my chinese sounded really funny and weird! And that is kinda embarrassing? Lol. Okay seriously, there is a lot of improvement to be made here.

Here's what I'm gonna do to improve myself, and I thought it would be helpful for you guys too.
1) Get out of your comfort zone and pick up some new vocabularies to learn.
2) Read 1-3 times per day.
3) Meet some friends and start to maintain a healthy social lifestyle.
4) Avoid using computer and phone too often.
5) Blog or write a diary.
6) Watch your favorite show or movie with subtitles on.


PEACE OUT!

Chill out after the second paper

TWO DOWN, ONE MORE TO GO..
So this morning, I sat for my 2nd paper. And guess what? Surprisingly it turned out to be quite easy, yeah quite! Well, I actually thought the questions would be difficult so I spent literally the whole night studying and memorizing every chapter. I wouldn't say it was a waste of time doing that, in fact, I'm even more happier and relieved that I've done my best for that paper and it's over! And no, I'm not gonna say I'll be definitely getting an "A" or "A-" for this subject cuz' they say things come best when you least expect them. If it's meant to happen, it will be! :) AGREE?
I was the third earliest person to leave the examination hall. To be honest, I actually finished up the questions within 30 minutes time and I was hesitating whether to leave because it was kinda early, and people would notice it. So, I decided to stay for another 10 minutes.

Took photos after the exam, look at our tiring faces.


Ran outta idea of posing. Seriously.. ._. 

Spot something? "1 malaysia". LOOOL!

SOOO.. I followed Olivia and Priscillia to makan lunch at dataran sunway. We went to this restaurant called "Penang One", they serve delicious Penang cuisines like Asam Laksa, Cendol etc. Me and Olivia ordered Char Kuey Teow and Mochi, and Pris ordered Cendol and Asam Laksa. And yeah, it was a good and short outing. We had quite a lot of fun giggling over and taking about silly stuffs. Most of the time, both of them were making fun of my chinese accent because it sounded funny and weird. Well.. Well.. the effects of not speaking chinese often? Gotta work on it. ;) HEHEHE. 





And yeah, that's about it for today. Have a nice day lovelies! x

#Day1 Hari Raya holiday with the family

It was evening and the weather was fine. So, my family decided that we're going for a swim at The Club. We arrived the place at 4 something and we swam for approximately an hour plus.  All of us swam except dad because he's afraid that he's gonna drown inside the pool. SAVE ME, SAVE ME.. Haha, just kidding! He didn't wanna swim because his legs're vulnerable. Bad bones and stuff. Well.. people avoid swimming as they grow older. And no, he wasn't like that last time. He was much more sporting and he even encouraged me and my siblings to go for swimming practically most of the time. Oh well.. People change and not everything stays permanently. Sad case.

                                Me and my mum. Hot, isn't she? Haha.

    Dylan: "this is your goggle ah."

Daddy's holding his favorite book- reader digest while Lawton is.. I don't know what he's doing. 

"Yay. Finally I'm in the pool, the blue blue pool."

After swimming, we headed to one u for dinner and movie. While on the way, me and mum camwhore in the car. I taught her how to pose sexily in pictures. Hahaha!! 



    Duck face. Sexy? HAHAHAH!


          Me, mama, and papa.


We had Kenner Rogers for our dinner and it was filling and satisfying. We ordered half chicken with three different side lines, some muffins and dessert in the end. 



             Muffin mwafinnnnn.


My favorite- Brownie with ice cream on top. Hot and cold at the same time.

Love every single moment we spent together. I wonder who else can replace them. They mean sososo much to me!

RELATIONSHIT RELATIONSHIP RIRAYSHENSHEEP

So these days, I've been hearing lotsa lotsa stories about breaking up/ betrayal and so on. Well, it's sad to know that relationships had to come to an end just because guys stopped trying after they got you.. they feel absolutely comfortable and there's nothing to be worried of knowing that you won't leave them. But of course, not every guy is the same. There are some guys who still try even after they got the girl. And don't get me wrong gentlemen, I'm not stereotyping how guys are like in relationship or being sexist/ judgemental here. Chill out homies. Most relationships ended either because the spark is gone/ one stopped trying/ unable to tolerate each other/ can't cope with each other's differences/ too busy for their partner, and so on..

Today.. I'm gonna share a little bit about my relationship right here.  

STAY TUNED GUYS. 
TIK-TAK-TIK-TAK. 
5..4..3..2..1..and.. ACTION! :D



Me and my partner got together for about 1 year and 9 days. His name is Marcus, just in case you're wondering. We knew each other through a friend and we met like the end of 2011. In between of our relationship, we did break up a few times and got together back. I'd say, our relationship is sweet and lovely but difficult at the same time. We've been through so many ups and downs together.. we fought like there's no tomorrow and threw things at each other, but when we are both happy, everything just instantly feels right to us. We are both egoistic and hot headed people, it takes one of us to give in sometimes.
The one thing that keeps the relationship going is the love that we have for each other. We might quarrel massively for few times and stop talking to each other for days, but eventually one of us will make the first move to either make calls or text. 

Frankly speaking, no relationship is perfect in this world. If you're expecting a prince charming to come after you with a horse, you need to seriously cut down your expectation and get into the reality, yes REALITY. Every relationship requires plenty of toleration, compromises, patience, and give and take. Also, it is about learning each other's flaws and not giving up easily. I admit, I used to be naive back then that I didn't really know how to handle or maintain relationships. I would react according to my emotions and most of my past relationships ended because both of us failed to compromise each other. Oh well, the past is the past.. I learned from our mistakes and look forward to be a better person.  

I'm 20, and I'm still learning how to tolerate and compromise better, and be more patient with my partner. I'm not perfect, I've flaws like bad temper, sensitive, impatient, and selfish. And even sometimes, I'm not sensitive toward others' feelings. I might hurt others with my words or actions. Learning to cope with your partner's flaws is definitely not easy, it requires hell a lot of patience which I'm improving myself at now. GIMME A BREAK *GRABS A KIT KAT..MUNCH MUNCHH*

So, in order to maintain a good and healthy relationship, there are several things you can do for it:
1) Participate in new activities, such as mountain climbing, fishing and others. (That will keep the excitement and sparks in your relationship)

2) Put down your ego during arguments.

3) Have a good communication with your partner. (Communication is essential in a relationship)

4) Accept your partner's opinion. (Something that I fail to do sometimes. learning..)

5) Be supportive.

6) Be understanding when your partner's busy. Give them time and space. (Girls are needy sometimes, we demand for a lot of love and attention from their partner. Try to occupy your free time with your hobby, keep yourself busy at times.)

7) Surprise them with gifts. (You don't have to take off your clothes to keep your relationship exciting. Be yourself and be comfortable.)

8) Respect.

9) Have some space when the arguments get heater. (Be alone and go for a walk, do other things to calm down.)







SOOOO, I hope this is helpful for the people who are going through some difficulties in relationship. Feel better now? :)

PEACE OUT! x

Holla holla.. New F21 clothes to my closet!

Hey lovelies, as you can see, I'm a huge fan of Forever 21. Every once a week I will go to the shop at One-Utama or visit their website/ fb page for the new arrivals. I'm so obsessed with their clothes. Forget about Prada, Gucci, LV, Burberry. F21 instead!

These are the new items I bought: -

                               Stripe design cropped top and polka dots jeans.





So much love. <3 
Thanks to Mr. MGWC.

Bye July, Hi August!


   Hi lovelies! It's August; A new month, new chapter, new beginning. I can't believe another month has passed just like that, in a blink of an eye. Time flies, indeed. Oh well, *shakes head* tsk tsk, sighs.:'3
Looking back at the month- July, there were so many ups and downs whether in relationship, college, friendship and some other stuff. Many things could have been better if I did them in several ways. But looking back has definitely made me realize how to react and be better next time. Words can't describe how grateful I am for each lesson taught or given.. It's indeed a beautiful month for me and I will never forget what happened. So emotional. *sobssobs* lol.
So yeah, I hope this month will be an awesome month to me.

AUGUST, BE GOOD BAYBEH!!
