Home Is Where The Hans Are
To those who hasn't discover this awesome Youtube series movie, go watch it.
It's actually pretty cool. Low cost but cool. =)

I mean, sometimes, the cheapest movies of videos can trigger your inner-most thoughts. So go watch more videos. Anything, anything at all, just not nothing.

And here's what Ryan Higa said in his V'day video:

Stop worrying about being alone. The world is your oyster ;)

Aww this is so cute!!!
Yeah, my oyster. And one fine day I'll find my pearl. XD



So whatever that's bothering you right now, just smile and rock on.
Sometimes, something may seem so important that you thought it'll haunt you for your entire lifetime but its really not true.
The worst storms still end eventually. It's just a matter of time before everything's well again.
So c'mon, don't get mentally screwed up just because of the littlest things. Feel happy because of the big things in life. When there's a reason to cry, there will always be a million reasons to smile.
Rock on.

Look at me!
I'm still happily blogging here although I have problem watching TVD.
How great is that?

Off with her head at 6:12 PM

Wow I haven't been blogging for awhile eh.

So, topic of the day: Xia Xue's new blog entry.
Sorry to say that I'll have to agree with her this time, I seldom do, but that article she just posted is just pure original and true.
I really can't stand people like Adele, they have to put others down to make themselves shine more. And another reason why I'm not all in love with Mr. Steve Jobs. Uncountable of times, he'd talk bad about other computer products or software (Windows, mostly) when he's trying to convince people to encourage his creations. 

People talk bad about people, that's a sad sad undeniable truth. Everyone does that and you just have to accept it. I do it too, not proud about it.

But, sabotaging people in front of the media, and the eyes of the entire world is just so so unprofessional. It's just a matter of time for someone to actually throw eggs at him when he's stepping on people again, but too bad he didn't live long enough to go through that ( didn't mean to be rude there). He's a genius. But if he had better attitudes and knows about the existence of moral values, I'd loved him more. Just saying.

And this applies to Adele too. And yeah, she's fat. Lol. Sorry, but just agree, unless you're blind or has some deadly eye disease. Being fat doesn't affect the quality of her works, fabulous works, but if she's dealing with it this way, it might as well do. And you know what? It's okay to be fat. But to be fat and have no intention of doing anything about it? That's a whole other story. 

Nobody would be angry if you study a lot and not get good grades, but if you just expect those grades to fall from the sky and blame everyone else for getting better grades than you instead of feeling sorry, well, be careful cuz you might get slapped by someone really hard someday. So hard that all you teeth might fall off and you won't be able to afford dentures cuz you couldn't get a good job and be rich like people to actually worked for their futures.

What if we're just dreaming all along at 10:21 PM

Forever is just too long... Too impossible a promise to be made...


But when you say that a memory is gonna be in your head forever, that can really be the truth.
There're some great things in life, great moments, that we weren't able to capture on camera.
All we had was a pair of eyes, and an unlimited mind, and we swore that we'll remember them forever and always.

I have millions of personal forevers, all of them are equally precious to me. It'll suck so much, if I ever get hit by a truck and forget any single one of them.

And here's a tribute to one of my forevers:
The people I met, the places I went to, the lessons I learned in Oyama, Japan in winter 2010.

Just, be prepared that most of the pictures are awesome food.
Lol.
Part of the reason why I love Jap so freaking much.
Their food is of the highest quality.


SOBA SOBA SOBA WOOHOO FTW

I went to idk how many Jap restaurants after the trip to try out their ramen and soba, and hell, none of them ware as good as the ones I had in Jap. NONE.



Ahh, and of course.
The place where flowers bloom 24/7 all year round. Even when it's snowing, you see flowers.
A place where I've been dying to visit since I was a toddler watching Bananas.
I went to the one in HK when I was twelve, but the second time in Tokyo is just so much better, so much more magical.

It was nice cuz it was early winter (HK was during late autumn, which basically means late summer in Tokyo), but the winter clothes were a big big headache. They're just too huge and annoying. I could barely fit into the roller coaster seats.



C asked me about the toilets in Jap yesterday and TAADAA!
It's so cool I know.
The tub (covered to maintain the temperature of the water) is slightly shorter and deeper. And they have this machine thing, a timer, a much cuter one, which knows how to sing for God's sake, right above the tap (in front of the tub). And it's like you rinse yourself with clean water from the shower, then soak in the tub for 30 minutes plus plus, then go sit on the stool (hidden behind the door) and shower yourself with soap. So the bathing process takes about an hour or so. And it was cold, so the entire bathroom was practically filled with mist after that. 


And  I swear, I will never ever forget this beautiful family.
They're so awesome.
And omg look at Yukina (baby)!!!!

They drink green tea (green bottle on the table) like the way we drink water. I was practically in heaven. Green tea all day long.

Food: Terriyaki and vege tempura.



I miss cute college Jap guys!!!
Japanese classrooms are legendary.



And these people.
What can I say?
BFF? Totally. =)



THIS!!!!
Sashimi fish cubes and rice, and egg, I think.
SO fucking gooodddd!!!!
AHHH!
And expensive (guilty).
I had this in some higher ranking sushi restaurant in the Jusco mall in Oyama.



I had such incredible food for breakfast omfg.
I mean, here, all I eat is bread or cakes or random Malaysian food, but there...
And this was so freaking delicious you have no idea.

So that's it, my Jap description, I think I owe you guys this. I remember being too damn tired to blog about it when I first came back. I uploaded half of the pictures on FB though.


So that's it.
Another forever in my life.

I was bored, so here's a little some-some for you awesome people:


Heh ;)



Saw this on TUMBLR and OMG I wish I have this on one of my switches. So meaningful.

More than just a lullaby at 4:12 PM

Hey people, Happy Saturday!!!

So just a few moments ago, I finally managed to make myself sit down and practice my violin. My teacher just gave me my third piece right before the CNY break started. So I was working on it, my lesson's on this coming Monday. So me. He gave it to me like 2 weeks ago and I'm only responsible enough to take a look at it 2 days before my lesson. I was practically sight reading and I was like "Hey! It's sooo eee-zayyy!" Then when I was about to reach epiphany (LOL Alexandra Wallace), I realized it sounded abit too minor and that's when I decided to listen to the pros play on Youtube. And I died right after that.



It's called Adagio, so it was suppose to be slow. But I wasn't prepared that it's THAT slow. I mean, it's 2 pages long, so I thought well, maybe it's slightly moderate kind of thing since it's long. The examiner wouldn't want to waste so much time on just one piece right? I mean, just look at the video!!! 8 minutes plus. How long my entire exam's gonna take then??? My sister said she wanted to sleep listening to it lol wth. But seriously, it sounds so much like a freaking lullaby. Great, how am I gonna keep my examiner awake like that?? Big problem huh.

Oh well, God bless me.

***

Omg school's starting again in 2 days. FML. I'm so not ready to go full-swing. I mean, the next long holiday in in March for goodness sake. That's almost 2 months away. Wake me up when 2012 end.





Friday, January 27
Safe and sound at 5:29 PM

Again, another irrelevant title.

It's the last 3 days of the CNY break and I'm sitting here, soaking myself in incredibly hilarious videos. Go Jenna Marbles!!! And for the first time in ages, I'm downloading songs again. Just a random piece of information but yeah, I'm actually taking time to click on hundreds of buttons and working the computer's butt off to import more songs into my playlist. My computer is so so underutilized. I really should be catching up with my music and theory and serious shit like that but my soul is too carried away by those movies and crazy songs and cousins whom I've just said bye-bye to. Aw I miss them already... 

I just checked out that zodiac luck feng shui thing today and BOOYEAH! The pigs are gonna rock this year FTW. No, I don't really believe in things like that but damn it feels really good when you see your luck being predicted as good as this. It's just something to reassure me that everything's gonna be okay this year, if not, better. Okay, and maybe this kind of stuff is just for insecure people and I'm one of them. Whatever. My point being, this year brings fantastic to those who were born in year 1995. Anyways, may the year of dragon being joy, prosperity and all the good luck you need to you and people around you. 

Oh and I swear I'm gonna study for all my exams this year. I swear.

Underneath your love at 6:29 PM

A life lived with love is a life lived.
A real love story shouldn't have a happy ending, because they'll never end.
And sometimes, all we need to do is drop our masks, and give them our hands.

Focus on what's important to you at 11:57 PM

Don't ever let something minor ruin something that means a lot to you.



This advertisement...
My eyes couldn't stop making tears. Seriously. I can't imagine, in another 3 years or so, there'll be times when I'm so wrapped up in my studies or university life that I just can't come home for CNY. That really sucks to the max. When everyone here is like all lively and joyful, eating so much and laughing like nobody's business, I'm half way around the globe eating cold pizza staring out the window, watching the snow pile up in the driveway and stuff like that. Sooooo depressing. Snow during the happiest week of the year. When it's all sweaty and warm here, in a good way, I mean.


TVD review: Things can really really change, a lot. It takes so much effort to join two hearts together, but just a tiny little speckle can kill everything between them. It's pathetic, but so true. And sometimes, we just give too much, when that someone else isn't interested the same way you are. And sometimes, you just don't get what you really want from them despite everything you've done to earn it. Relationships are just too freaking complicated. Too sophisticated to be described in words.

So, anyways, HAPPY CNY PEOPLE!!!
Go home.

Beautiful Manhattan at 9:57 PM

It's dark outside, like DUHHH cuz it's pass nine. It's Wednesday night, meaning, two more days till CNY break strikes in. I really should be doing something productive, like my theory homework, but hell, Gossip Girl is too exciting to pass. Plus, I'm totally in CNY mood now. I mean, it's like the best best festival in the entire year. You get breaks (a week!!!), you get money, food, new clothes, fun with family, travel around, and just enjoy the presence of PEOPLE, coming to your house, awesome movies, super funneh variety shows ect ect ect.

CNY IS AWESOME!!!!

LOL this is weird but I kinda miss Jenny Humphery. I love the way she used to dress.

Words meant to be said at 4:49 PM


OMG MN MN MN YOUR RED VELVET CUPCAKES ARE HEAVEN SERIOUSLY EVEN MY MOTHER LOVES THEM WTH!!!! =D

And they are really pretty tooo!!!!





The new Miss Malaysia 2012.
Hahahahha!!!
Dude I want the recipe!!!


And I swore to HY that I'll take Tumblr-inspired pictures of the charm bracelet Carmen gave me.
So taadaa:






I had another one with flowers as the background and it was suppose to be really pretty, but I didn't realise it was a bit blur till I started to edit it. Too bad. And I'm not gonna go out there just to take another picture. 

Can't believe I need to go to school tomorrow. And violin lesson. Shit. Can I just rewind the entire weekend please???

The best in this kind are but shadows at 11:04 PM

Honestly I still can't understand what this sentence means. Fail.

Oh my Gawd. I can't believe Tyler is breaking up with Caroline. I mean, they are one of the best couples ever and he just went bitchy all of a sudden. Which, brings me to my next point. Guys. They can be the sweetest best friends, the person who knows you the best, but the moment they get involved in some relationship shit, as in the moment they get a girlfriend, BAMM! they're the shittiest jerk you've ever known. It's like... They are so freaking attention seeking and insecure that they'll do anything to win that girl's heart. In simpler words, they're willing to sacrifice the entire forest for one single tree. The forest being friendships and other older, more important relationships with people they know. Two buddies can punch and tear each other's faces all because of some pretty girl they both like. Wow their friendship just doesn't worth much, does it? Yeah you probably think I'm just some poor and disappointed woman being let down by several assholes. Sorry, but what I've said is true. Very true.

So basically, I've given up trying to rely on males, treating them as an actual FRIEND. Not just a play-buddy who makes you laugh like nobody business and nothing else.

Ugh I can't believe the flu bug bit me... Seriously my nose is like forever blocked, and my eyes can't really stay open. And that's the reason my piano lesson was crap today. Teacher was super frustrated, I can tell.

I could wait patiently but I really wish you would at 6:18 PM

DROP EVERYTHING NOW 

There's this thing about my titles, they'll never relate to my posts' bodies.

Just done cleaning up after my hamsters and I guess I'm gonna blog about them. I know I know, I haven't been talking much about them since Looney existed but I swear I haven't been neglecting them. I have been the only person cleaning their cages and giving them fresh hamster food. So I don't really have the heart to abandon them. They're probably the reason Looney's still alive. I mean, I got lots of idea on taking care of rodents because of them. And come to think of it, bunnies and hamsters are actually pretty similar.


  1. They don't do much. Seriously, most of the time they just sit around, sleep, eat, or just... Stare at the wall blankly...
  2. They won't get bored eating the same food for the rest of their lives. This is so sad.
  3. They seem to understand me perfectly when I scream the word "NOOOO!!!". And I will not be convinced otherwise. (ie. They're just too startled to continue what they were doing.)
  4. They look terribly like freaking seals when they lay on their stomach 'cuz their fat tends to cover their legs. Hahaha!!!
  5. They can be the most adorable things you ever see. =)
  6. They don't make noises. But my hamsters too squeak a little, when something's bothering them. OR when they fight. Gosh hamsters love to fight, sometimes for fun, but there are times when they end up half dead, and that's when I have to operate YJ's Most Awesome and Efficient Hamsters' ICU. Maybe I should include this in my Vet Uni application next time.
  7. They have this magical power of keeping themselves clean even when their cages smell like sewage water.
  8. I love both these little darlings.
  9. They're one of the most human-friendly animals on earth.
  10. I'll never feel bored, just sitting there, watching them.
There. Pets are soooo easy. They'll never complain, and they'll always be there when you need them. So, bring home little animals people!!!

Carefree at 12:00 AM

Omg I seriously have to start changing my post title font to italics. It looks so weird all neat and upright...

It's the sixth page of chapter 2012. And the first Friday of the year. This supposedly-the-last-year-we're-gonna-live is going on fine, so far. Not that I'm expecting any worse scenarios. CNY is coming soon, about 2 weeks left to another full week of holidays, mixture of craziness and rotting in my gran's house. 

It's midnight, sharp, and I could really use a glass of coke right now. =)

Some distant place in the future at 4:32 PM

If we ever meet again, both of us living our own new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and authenticity, I'll tell you how enchanted I was to have met you, how grateful that our lives crossed path, even it was just for a while. Cuz maybe, maybe it's not always about the happy endings, maybe it's about the story we shared. Billions of people waiting to be invited into our lives, but out of that huge crowd, it was us that made that particular story a reality. It's amazing, come to think of it, how fate had this story specially made to fit into both our lives. So, no matter what happens after this, no matter how many years have gone by, the memories you and I had will be kept safely, hidden deep down in my heart, and it'll never be forgotten. 

Cheers, to the future,
to us.

Hey =)
School's starting tomorrow. Hell yeah. My mom is already pressuring me in piano and my studies, what the hell right? But whatever. She... Hasn't really been in her best mood these days. Weird. But whatever.

I don't really have anything to say right now, just, happy going-back-to-school!!!
I know it sucks, but just one more year, one more year and these sickening routines are gonna die forever. Peace.

Oh and btw, look what this lovely person from Tumblr did for me!!!! :


Awww!

Chapter 2012, Page 1 of 366 ♥ at 7:16 PM

My first post in year 2012.

Hey y'all!
I said I'm not gonna post my new year's resolution and I'm gonna stick to what I've said.

But here's a little something about the stuff I'll try to accomplish within the year.

- Be someone better. As in nicer. Yes, I'm trying to be nice.
- My A's. Yes, all of them.
- Music. Like always.
- Someone who'll mean the world to me. Gosh I sound so desperate. But I'm serious. It doesn't have to be a relationship kinda relationship, but I wanna meet this person that'll change everything. For better or worse.

That's about all I wanna post about my resolutions. No rocket science, no being president of USA, just plain... normal... I guess you can put it that way.

Once again, HAPPY FREAKING 2012 EVERYONE!
Cheers. =)

As a teen, I spend way too little time in my room. at 11:30 PM

Just a random fact, but true.
It's like... Everyone, their room is practically their entire house and mine is just a place for me to change and bathe. Funny I know.

Less than an hours till the final seconds of 2011. 2011 had been okay, ups and downs, but honestly, there were more of the former. So I guess I should be satisfied. Like I said, 2012 is gonna be more tense than ever. But I'm prepared for it. Maybe music is not that difficult or annoying or pointless. I mean, maybe I underestimated myself in my capability of handling these instruments.

The hell, why am I writing like that...?

*Fireworks lighting up the night sky like fireflies in the forest*

It's probably already 2012 in Aussie and Japan and Korea and maybe Russia. I don't know why, but the ending of this year and the coming of the following one means so much to me. 2012 is gonna change a lot of stuff, no doubt. School's gonna end forever, I'm gonna leave for college, people are gonna leave, but awesomer ones are gonna arrive... So I just wish you guys all the best in the brand new year. 

No matter whatever mistake you did this(last) year, it should really end. Live 2012 like a brand new, clean piece of paper, think of it as a fresh start, another chance to do everything right. It's time to let go of the past and embrace whatever that's waiting ahead of you. Live to the max.


Raise your glasses:

May 2012 bring joy and love.

Cheers.

Sandcastles. On the ground. at 4:35 PM

Hey, one more day and 2011 is officially history.
Well, I have lots and lots of stuff I wanna tell y'all, but I thought Xia Xue did a really good job wishing all her readers, so I'm gonna borrow some of her words.
(Go read her blog!!!)




So, people, follow you heart, embrace your dreams, spread more love.
=)

HAPPY 2012 Y'ALL!!!
You guys are awesome, by the way.

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? at 11:14 PM


    To my future husband or soul mate or whatever... :

    DARLING DON'T BE AFRAID, 
    I'VE LOVED YOU FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
    AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOR A THOUSAND MORE,
    AND ANOTHER THOUSAND MORE...
    (you get the idea)

    No no... I'll dedicate the entire song to you. I'll do a cover on it, I'll sing and play, I'll shoot an entire movie based on it, all for that one special person that I haven't met.

    Wow this sounds crazy.

    Anyways...

    School's starting in less than a week, I have tons and tons of homework to be done, and school stuff to pack, shoe laces to get tied, IDK 18 or 20 textbooks to dig out, uniforms to be ironed, pens to be gathered and put into my pencil case ( they're all scattered everywhere), tuition days to be remembered (shit I forgot all about the new schedule thing) and and MONEY! Shit I overspent this holidays. I swear I'm not going out till CNY. Oh, and about CNY, I need more new clothes. See! And the list goes on and on.

    But (yes there's always a but), my heart is constantly telling me to leave everything to be done by themselves. It's like my last long holidays ever. EVER!!!

    Stuff that I'm supposed to do this holidays are mostly left undone.

    • Music: Oh... HAHAHHAHAHAHAH! FTW... But I DID spend some time on piano practical. I swear I did. Probably it's because mom upgraded the piano. I"ll come to that next time, or later. And yes, it'll be all annoying bragging. YESTERDAY was the first time I've touched my violin since December started. I'm glad sight reading on the violin is so shitass easy. Theory. Ah that bastard. Screw music theory.
    • Get over that someone: I practically hate you now. Bye bye.
    • Tumblr followers target: AWWW 20 more to go only mahhh!
    • The BF project: Well I guess I sorta failed. But I earned something more than a freaking relationship.
    • Old books to be read: FAILLL
    • Diet project: I'm surprised even I have the courage to mention this.
    • Studies: I was suppose to drill on Add Maths... Heh... But... BUT... I can do Log blindfolded now though. What 'CHEEHHH'?????? It's so freaking confusing kay!
    • Make Looney not get out from the house compound: Freaking bunnies are freaking hard to train wth.
    • Make friends: HUGE HUGE TICK HERE
    • Finish up my love story: I forgot my plot.
    • Bake: K lah.
    • Go watch every cool movie I've missed this year: ALMOST THEREEEEE
    • Learn guitar: I think I'm gonna give up.
    • Learn HTML: blank
    • Save money: Went negative here.
    • Figure out my future: AT LEAST I know that I'm signing up for January intake in Taylor's.

    So yeah... I'm so fucked up. But that's cool. Things... are gonna work out. At least I hope they will...

    Hey, and I just realized how fucking small this town is. It's like I know him, he knows her, she likes him, he knows him, he dated her, she's BFF with her, and she's friends with him, and I realized I should have talked to him more. And now I'm like FTW. I screwed up like 5 or 6 relationships in one go. Wow I'm awesome.





    Monday, December 26
    That's just what it takes at 10:17 PM


    Okay, hey, Happy Boxing Day, Happy Day-after-Christmas, Happy 5 more days to 2012.

    I'm back home again, and I promised you some pictures from my eating trip, but I'm tired shit. So please be satisfied with some of these photos, give me a few days to get things sort out.

    So, I was suppose to place these pictures at the end of the post, but I've searched high and low, in and out for that fucking SD card, and I think these photos deserve primary attention. Because of them, my room looks exactly like the one Bella and Edward had their first sex in. Okay, that's a little bit of exaggerating there... 



    One of the best lessons I've learned to far, is to listen and understand, before you be all judgemental and bitchy, cuz there's always a story behind how people are behaving right now. Don't rush to the verdict, give them chances to speak for themselves.




    Obviously, it's a Tumblr thing.
    Those of you without a Tumblr, you're missing out loads. They have the awesomest quotes and life lessons awaiting, just for you. Now go go go create a blog and please remember to check out mine!
    ;)




    Another Tumblr-ish thing.
    I tried writing it on the cardboard behind the white parking ticket (yes, it's a parking ticket from Queensbay thankyouverymuch) , but it turned out to look a great deal like shit. I wonder how the Tumblr people does it...




    YUMMMMM!!!!
    *this is merely for showing off purposes*



    I didn't get to drink their coffee this time, but I'll never get bored of taking pictures of their instruments. Makes me wanna be a barista too...


    I really don't know what I'm suppose to say or do right now.
    I mean, what is right, what is not?
    What'll work, what won't?
    What's the best, what's the worst?
    What's expected, what isn't?
    What I need to do, what I don't?
    What I should believe in, what I shouldn't?

    The boundaries between these extremities are so so vague.
    I've bitched about this before I know, but I still can't get this making-the-right-decision thing...


    Before I go:::



    Say hello to my new niece!!!
    The cutest thing on earth.
    =)

    Just look at her, her world, how simple it is...
    I wish I could be like her again.

    Hearts, kisses and hugs at 5:00 PM

    It's 22nd December 2011. 12 days till school reopens, 9 more days till 2012, 3 more days till Christmas Day, a month till CNY. So, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND SEASON GREETINGS PEOPLE!!!

    I just came back from a 3 days camp, and I'm leaving Ipoh again in less than 24 hours, with sore legs and arms, and mosquito bites, AND, memories of awesome hugs. ;)

    I have the sudden urge of hugging every single person I know. Maybe I'll go set up a free-hugs booth or something for charity next time.

    Okay, I'm really lazy to describe the camp now. Maybe I'll just not blog about it. Btw, it was awesome. I'll bring my camera tomorrow and pictures will be up when I get back. No promises, but I'll try my best. 

    Till next time,



    HOHOHO...

    MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS!!!

    INFINITY

    Hey, it's a Saturday night in mid December, I'm listening to old love songs, reblogging girly and lovey dovey stuff on Tumblr, Googling for another romantic comedy to accompany me through the night. It's just, I've been hopelessly romantic and well... pink... lately. It sounds really weird and wrong, but oh well, that's what you get for sinking yourself into Tumblr world too much. But then, suddenly, I realize, maybe it's really not important - what you're Expected to do or to be. Maybe what you really should care of is what You, yourself is thinking about. We aren't born to please anyone, and certainly not everyone. You'll never be good enough for every single human being, so why torture yourself? Why waste your youth living in insecurity and uncertainty? Why, do something you don't really have the heart in doing just so that people will look up at you? Why, on earth, try so badly to impress others, when all you need is to feel good about yourself? We always overlook what's really really important to us, and spend all our life to chase stuff we want, just to satisfy our so-called needs. 

    Cuz most of the time, when we're trying so hard to convince others to accept and love who we are, we'll lose ourselves and fall into reality's mould and we become who we are presumed to be, by the rest of the free world.


    Credits to those amazing bloggers on Tumblr, the movie Remember Me and Friends With Benefits, and The Back Up Plan.




    Be fearless enough to follow your heart.
    Maybe it's how happily-ever-after's are formed.


    Cheers to the teenage years.
    =)

    Boredom Reasons Kill.

    Oops, sorry, it was suppose to be Boredom KillS, but it's not like I can write Reasons Kills or Reason Kills, so it's kinda awkward here...

    So, holidays, to be honest, it's kinda okay. Some parts were superb, definately, some parts boring, some normal. This week, I haven't really been going out with anyone but my family, but it's kinda awesome in some way. Cuz, you see, when school's on, I don't really get to go out with mom to random places like the post office and whatever in the morning, and go eat unnecessary meals. And siblings fights... It's annoying sometimes, alright, maybe it IS annoying, but hey, I won't be able to do that for too long. 

    Okay, that's it for now.
    Chillout.
    Read more love stories.

    In the beautiful streets of Taipei IV at 6:28 PM


    I know I said that I'm done with the Taipei review thing, but I'm dead bored now and well, maybe I'll just edit a little, and take my time to upload the pictures while I catch up with my really stupid drama. 

    Soooo... I think I skipped the Dan Shui part, I don't know, too lazy to check back.
    But lets start with Yang Liu.
    Went there right after Yu Ren Ma Tou.


    That place was really effing cold, explains the coffee. It sucked, but to prevent myself from freezing...

    Yang Liu was basically stones and geology stuff, stuff that I'll probably never understand. But it was very beautiful, they preserved it pretty well.



    Beautiful.
    Just beautiful.

    Then we travelled by cab to Jiu Fen.



    I think a scene from 那些年 was filmed here. That part when they led their wishing lantern.
    Jiu Fen is a really really old street. A place where the miners have fun after work. Have fun, here, means to get wasted and go hit on prostitutes.
    Anyways, they managed to keep that really old architecture and crap like that. Quite pretty. =)


    ***

    Last full day in Taipei.
    We went to SOGO and around centre Taipei, 101 tower and stuff.


    Oh, and they have McCafe.
    =DDD

    Here's one thing I'll always do when I'm out of the country: 
    1. Check out their airport toilets.
    2. Travel in their taxis and buses.
    3. Eat pork burger in McD's.
    4. Go get some coffee from McCafe.
    5. Go search for stars.




    And their coffees are damn cheap. Unlike this deadly place, a stupid cup of Starbucks costs freaking over 10 bucks. It's just Starbucks. Coffee packed in airtight packets. With a 100% automatic coffee machine. Crazy one. 
    Their coffee, from any cafe is like Rm4-7, depends on the size and type.
    This latte above cost like 5 bucks.


    SOGO wasn't open till 10am, so we went shopping in their groceries part.
    Heh.
    And I was like OMFG all their food was imported from either Japan or Korea.
    Korea still ok lah, but 80%++ is from freaking Japan. They might as well just let the Japanese government rule Taiwan...



    Lalalalalalalalala....
    Macaroons. =)




    I ate this in Japan too.
    It was like some cream puff, but instead of cream inside, it was ice cream.
    Green tea, if you're wondering...




    FTW.
    ANPANMAN ANPANMAN ANPANMAN!
    アンパンマン!!!!!!!

    I couldn't find Pororo...
    Anpanman is awesomer idc.




    Get this.
    Before they open, they'll brief all their workers and they'll get into their lines to welcome and bow to the customers. Oh and before that, they'll serve tea to those who were waiting outside.

    I felt like those CEO you see in dramas...
    LOL


    Lunch was at the famous Ding Tai Feng.
    Seriously, theirs was wayyy better than the one in Pavilion or Megamall...
    And their menu had more variety. A bit pricey lah, but worth the wait and the money. Fyi, we had to wait for an hour to get our table.



    The must.
    Omg I'm missing it already...



    超奇怪的。。。 他们很喜欢喝酸辣汤。。。

    I forgot how we got back to centre Taipei...
    But dad, sis and I went hunting for bubble milk tea while mom took the naggy bro back to the hotel.



    I didn't know Comebuy was from Taiwan. Hahahaha!
    I thought it was like Chatime or something, just operated by locals who gives too much damn to act like Taiwanese.
    Comebuy's Oolong bubble milk tea was heaven. Like HEAVEN. And their pearls. Their pearls have taste one. Tea, I think, but definitely way better than those you get here.
    I mean, Chatime's oolong also not bad lah... But they still have a lot to learn. ;)




    Spent awhile watching the sunset from my hotel room balcony.
    So prettttyyyy!!!
    I wonder if Manhattan's summer sunset is any close to this one...



    Manual focus.


    After that we walked to Xing Guan Shan Yue, but they had like 3 buildings altogether. Crazy.



    Street performers and artists.
    They rocked man.



    It lit up the sky like a candle in a dark room.



    A freaking Christmas tree by freaking Tif&Co right under 101.




    Heh this was slightly better than the first one I had.
    Not slightly... It's A LOT better.

    After that was walk walk shop buy eat and walk more.
    Went to 诚品 before going back to the hotel and bought C's present. =)


    TaoYuan International Airport.
    Crowded like frog.


    Oh btw, I saw some guy who looks exactly like Lee Min Ho in City Hunter at the security check. I was digging for my camera right when it was still on the conveyor belt like some mad woman. But fuck, he was walking too fast, towards another terminal, at the other end of the airport. Screw it.




    First time I've seen Porsche Design with my very own eyes.
    Before that was all glossy pictures from magazines, news, articles and Millionaire Asia... And I was like WOWWW!




    Eeek...There was this super adorably Hello Kitty gift shops that sells things that cost a bomb.
    Japanese again.

    So I guess this is it.

    But I promise, those random photos in random posts thing will still be on.
    =)



    Peace.

    What are we Really living for? at 9:29 PM

    I spent the whole goddamn day thinking about life and what I haven't been through yet. I know, it sounds so  depressing. Reason, I've finished another Jodi P. book. About a girl, lady actually, doing wrong stuff, making mistakes and sucky decisions which changed her life into a roller coaster ride. But at least, at least she had the luck to love the right guy. No lawsuits this time. Just complicated medical terms from Mars or Venus, a young mother, and a guy who lacks realisation who vowed to climb every mountain in life together, and needed something to trigger the love they had for each other. I couldn't take it anymore so I cheated a little. I skipped to the last page when I was reading the last few chapters and that final page alone, made me cry like #^*($!@#&...



    Lol. It was to freaking windy. Even the dog had problem keeping his hair fabulous and kempt. 
    -Taken in Dan Shui. Needless to say where in Dan Shui. *winks

    Oh, and just fyi, I'm giving up uploading pictures from Taiwan. Too damned lazy an ass to do it. Look, I'll just post random yet adorable photos in random posts. With caption and all. Best of both worlds.


    Oh and I was just happily telling C: I found the second supply of macaroons in town. Me so freaking excited. It's just a few steps away from the first one I found few weeks ago. But this has more strange flavors. They had like durian macaroons. What's next? Celery?

    So... I was saying, my first supply is some strawberry juice shop near my violin studio. Yes, it's a juice shop. How cute right?! And the second one, I had dinner there, that's how I found out. It's a one-horse-town kind of shop. All snug and randomly decorated. Those tiny diners you see in small town American movies. They had old country songs playing from the hi-fi, tables and chairs all unmatched, inappropriate-sized shelves displaying irrelevant stuff. But, but, the weirdest part of the restaurant, they had really nice pictures of new York City and yellow cabs hanging on the walls. And, they serve scones. LOL! With earl grey summore. Talk about irrelevance. 


    I forgot.
    I forgot how it used to be like.
    I forgot what I was expected to say or do.
    Now, we're just living in memories, hoping that time could heal everything.
    But the truth is, I don't think it ever will.
    We were thought not to give up, but what if giving up was the only way to reduce the damage?

    Now I really want a pup at 3:11 PM

    My neighbours are away, to HongKong, I think. And they had this lady coming to their house to feed their dogs and water their plants. Then the dogs managed to sneak out yesterday, and she just didn't care to chase them back before she closes the gate. So those poor dogs just wondered around all day and night, and the rain was effing heavy last evening. So this morning, mom decided to let one in (we couldn't find the other one). The reason we didn't want to host them before, they scare the fuck out of Looney. Like seriously. They're really friendly, actually, but they get super curious when they see other animals. So normally, when they have the chance to get close to Looney, they'll make super cute sounds and start to sniff and lick him. And bunnies, they're not comfortable with loud noises and foreign smells. And the dogs would probably poo and pee all over the place and stuff like that. So yeah that's the reason. But she was all cold and wet and hungry this morning it melted my heart.

    And damn, Fluffy is so freaking cute and nice and obedient! Makes me want my own dog so much. I fed her human biscuits cuz I don't really have dog food and rabbit food is too effing expensive to be gobbled like that, and she did whatever I asked her to do. And now, she knows the rules, she's only allowed to be outside the house and she's suppose to go to the grass to eat... Oh, plus, she responds to my call. Every single time I call out her name, she'll dash to wherever I am. Unlike Mr. Looney BunBun who'll only come to me when he wants food. That pretender .She's adorable. And I really really want a pet dog. A golden retriever would be nice. =) Too bad my dad's too stubborn to realise anything positive about dogs, or any other animal. 

    Get this. Everyone in the family but him was out of town for like a 2 days this week, and he was suppose to feed Looney. He didn't want to open the cage to get Loons' bowls to fill up the water and pallets cuz he was afraid Loons might burst out of the cage and flee, and he didn't want to get his princess hands dirty. This was his great plan: He poured water into Loons' water bowl with a watering can, and dropped Loons' bunny pallets one by one, through the gaps of the cage, into his food bowl. How brilliant! 


    Just, I want a dog.

    In the beautiful streets of Taipei III at 12:26 AM

    It was late noon, we got daddy from his conference hall, and wiggled our way through the narrow stairs of the MRT station, got on a train that brings us to Xi Men Ding.


    Okay this picture looks... weird...
    It was the reflection of a piece glass...

    Xi Men Ding was basically shopping.
    But damn it was late autumn, meaning, they were all selling winter clothes... Wool and stuff, which obviously, isn't suitable to be wore here. So I didn't really buy much. Just kept eating.

    Oh, I bought a really cute winter hat though.



    Oh look!
    Anpanman!!!!
    Just if you don't know what's so special about this doll (I'd prefer figure), it's really famous now, in Japan, among toddlers and kids. It's kind of a hero...
    Something like Pororo in Korea.




    I actually wanted to just watch a movie and let the time past since I couldn't really find any suitable clothes to buy home, but the fuck, one movie ticket was like Rm30++ and I was like O.o... Bitch!
    So no movies.

    Ps: Photos I'm posting are random pictures of random stuff which I find interesting. I seriously have no patience to post everything.



    Heh this was so cute.
    They were advertising for some company, can't remember what company, but it was really smart. Everyone just had to stare a bit longer.

    It was lunch time (late lunch, actually).



    There's this thing about so called 'hawker stalls' in Taiwan... Their all self serviced. No one's gonna come to your table to take your order, even the beverages, so one's gonna bring you food to your seat for you, and you have to go around the place to look for your cutlery and sauces. And in this case, the cutlery was in a drawer under the table and the sauces were in a little wagon at the back of the restaurant.



    This. THIS!
    This was effing good no kidding. We ordered like God-knows-how-many plates and I doubt I'll ever have enough.

    There were also noodles, soup and stuff but... Was too hungry, so ignored the existence of my camera and my job as the photographer.



    This tasted like milk... And I'm not a fan of milk.
    So...
    Yeah, bout milk tea, I wonder how Taiwanese stand drinking them every single day. I got bored in less than a week.



    When I see underwears, I think of you, Siobhan.
    XD




    In the beautiful streets of Taipei, I was standing at the end of a zebra crossing, waiting for my mom buying my brother is freaking robot.


    Then we went into some CD shop.
    Mostly Taiwanese artist, but of course, there was more...



    C, they had like a huge column for SJ and I thought it was quite cheap. Bout Rm20-30 for an official album. But I didn't know which one you have or which one you don't... So... heh...




    Hey hey, before you say anything, I had to squeeze through a bunch of high school boys in their uniforms to snap this picture okay...
    Those boys...
    There was another big column for SNSD.




    Jay Chou had his own rack for God's sake.
    Movies, books, albums, concerts, posters... Just name it.

    And at the last column of his rack were books. Novels, of Taiwan dramas.




    AWWW!!!
    This drama rocks.
    Oh btw, I passed by the cafe where Yang Chen Lin cried and all, thinking of his ex!
    And that beach where Song Jie Xiu thought she was about to kill herself.
    Both along the road from Dan Shui to Jiu Fen.




    Tian Bu La.
    I find it... Normal. Something like that bean curd thing you get everywhere in Korea.
    But Korea's was better cuz they had that really really epic soup. That soup was so freaking sweet and... nice.




    Yup, this is the infamous Tian Bu La.




    Yeah yeah, Taiwan, famous for it's Dou Hua, but seriously, you come and try the one in Ipoh's old town and you'll know what's awesome.
    Ipoh has the best tau fu fah. No doubt.




    Heading out!!!

    Then we took a cab back to centre Taipei.

    Along the beautiful streets of Taipei:


    FUCK THE WORLD!!!



    Okay, this is blur, so much noise ( I got not nice nice flash so I had to keep adding the ISO... MOM!!!! FLASH!!!), and my hair, or rather, the entire me was awful cuz I've been out from morning to night, and the one holding the camera was my dad.
    This photo was cropped and edited and still...
    Haiz...




    This is pretty disgusting too...
    Carmen, there's a reason why there wasn't much photos of me.
    My mom refused to touch the camera.




    Eslite bookstore was a heaven.
    The whole stinking building of freaking books.
    Whatever language, whatever type, whatever... I don't know.
    Just... They have like everything and anything.
    OMG right?


    That thing was so damn big we could just stay there for the whole night.
    So we had dinner IN the bookstore and continued to book-shop after that.



    Some normal Taiwan-style restaurant with a stupid name and a cat as it's logo.
    Smart.




    It was okay.
    The only dish I really adores was the cod fish. You don't really get to have cod fish in M'sia often. It's more like seasonal and it's not cheap either.
    This reminds me of Japan.
    There was one evening we had shabu shabu for dinner and it was just cod fish and vege and udon. Perfect. =)




    So here, I end my third post on Taipei vacay.

    I kinda miss that place now...
