I want to prettify my room. Probably an overall theme of white but with pink decor of sorts as seen above. & maybe a bit of baby blue. I lust after the Philippe Starck chair but realistically, my butt would probably hate the chair &&& I can’t afford it :(

My room currently has, a freaking brown wall, brown curtains, orange cupboards, orange bedsheets, dark blue comforter, and an ugly ass green sofa bed. All of which I hate.

WTH man how on earth did I let that fengshui guy convince me to paint my wall BROWN. & I actually liked it for a couple of years until like recently >< I used to think that it’s a muted slighttttly greenish brown, but now it just looks like yucky dark muddy brown to me :( 

& I’ve been wanting to get rid of the stupid ugly sofa bed that just bloody takes up space in my room but my mom insisted on keeping it. Why? So her relatives can stay in MY ROOM when they come over to Singapore. WHY CAN’T THEY JUST STAY AT A HOTEL RARRRR. We live in a freaking flat alright. We don’t have guestrooms like people might have in Malaysia cos you know LAND IS SCARCE HERE, & my mom let this uncle that I reallyyyyyy don’t like sleep on my bed like WTF IT’S MY BED OKAY. You loan my room out like it’s a hotel room, fine. Grandma or whichever aunt wanna sleep on my bed, fine. But isn’t it common sense that you don’t let a guy (whom I really don’t like mind you) sleep on my bed?! & my mom shrugged it off like it’s nothing. 暴血管. 

Orange cupboards. Somehow when my parents bought the flat, they decided that orange cupboards would be great for my room, knowing that I hate orange.

Seriously, it’s as if my opinions don’t matter AT ALL.

Lol I started off talking about decorating my room & I end up ranting over my parents’ horrible thought process. Geez. Breatheeeee.

Anyway, back to room decor.

I want to get a painting/photo/print similar to the one above. I think it will have a calming effect on me lol. & I like the clean look of the decor.

Nugget I’m feeling kind of down after the rant. Shall just go to bed then.

Matching (sorta) tops with Mommy ♥♥♥ & we only realized when we took a photo haha :)

I just painted my nails! ♥

WAHHH ♥

Check out the awesome tan line. Of ALLLLLL the days to play beach volleyball, why the fuck did I choose to go play 2 DAYS BEFORE CNY. *facepalmx10000* It looks absolutely ridiculous UGH :(((

Anyway, a big big HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone! :D May you achieve all that you desire! (I think that phrase alone pretty much summarises all the Chinese proverbs or whatever you call them eg. 恭喜发财，年年有余 (Y)).

Yesterday had been sort of.. sad. CNY just kind of sucks for me, having only the paternal side of my extended family to visit (okay tbh I don’t exactly want to visit the maternal side ><) & we don’t do shit cept sit around the living room & watch lousy shows on TV. &&& I have to participate in awkward convos :( 

Every. Single. Bloody. Year. After CNY, I’ll go back to school after the holiday to hear of how much fun all my friends had over CNY gambling over mahjong and cards. Playing through the night & what not. It seems like we’re the only freaking family that doesn’t. & I’m told that we don’t because my grandpa doesn’t like gambling or smth. Okay fine can’t we just play then? Nopeeee. FML.

So I was pretty miserable at my relative’s house, like I’m not particularly close to my cousins so there wasn’t really anything to talk about. & I kind of hate talking about myself because well, what do you want me to say man. Sorry I failed at academia? Yeah I have a fucking sunburnt neck line. Yeah I know I’m tall but I’m the exact same height as I was last year so I don’t see what’s the biggie. Yada yada >:(

I’ll probably just spend CNY overseas when I’m older & have moved out of the house. 

I sound like a miserable cat. Meow. 

Oh sidenote, my cousin’s dogs are reallyyyy cute. Maltese/shihtzus mixed breeds & they are so fat & fluffy! ♥ Ah I forgot to take pictures of them :(

So here’s my outfit for Day One of CNY 2012. Dress from Rare (ASOS). Heels from Topshop. Didn’t bother to accessorise.

I was absolutely exhausted by this point. After just 2 hours of sitting around & doing shit. 

We’re supposed to have dinner at my uncle’s house tomorrow & he said I can play mahjong there so hopefully Day Two will be better.

I’ve been following the Bongqiuqiu vs. Silver Ang saga (or whatever you call it) with interest ahhahaha it’s pretty interesting. Silver Ang seems like she’s nuts, or is a scheming backstabbing bitch of a friend. Seeing as how she posted one ‘closure’ post after another (lol), she’s obviously just trying to feed on the hits that fuelling the fight will bring to her blog. & as much as I don’t wanna contribute to her blog hits, I can’t help going over to see for myself all the deluded nonsense she continues to claim even after Bongqiuqiu has given her (very much more detailed & sincere) side of the story. Siao siao.

Beach volleyball this Saturday! I’m effing excited cos it will be 1. the first time I’ve played vball since IDKWHEN & 2. the first time I’ve played with Lijie, Peishi & Ju since IRLYDKWHEN :D

We’re planning to have an all-nighter mahjong session on Friday though.. Bloody hell I’ll for sure KO the next morning at Sentosa -.- Really really excited for mahjong too though! :D The only time I ever get to play mahjong is when we have sleepovers at Ju’s house :/ Nugget.

CNY is in 4 days & I haven’t bought any new clothes D; & my hair is effing long. Chicken nugget my hairdresser left the salon & I lost his name card & the salon refuses to tell me where he went. ZZZ. So I’ve been dragging on cutting my hair cos I’m afraid a new hairdresser will butcher my hair. I LIKE HOW IT IS OKAY.

Bah. Why won’t the stupid salon pick up my call.

Well I’m being dramatic. Or maybe not. It really did feel like I was in the 80s or something. 

I’ve just returned from a 4 days trip to Kota Kinabalu, mainly to attend my mommy’s cousin’s wedding. 

I don’t know if it was the heightened expectations of the ‘amazing food’ that awaits us in KK, or that I half-expected some sort of development in KK ever since the last time I visited it which was like.. at least 6 years ago? I have no idea gosh just damn bloody long ago alright.

We didn’t really eat out that much, just 2 meals of local fare & 1 meal at a Vietnamese chain restaurant (we got desperate). The local fare came highly recommended & it might not be fair basing my judgement of ALL KK food on just that 2 meals but heck it, they were seriously under par. 

My basis of comparison? Well the food you can find in Singapore. Let’s see, we had fresh seafood for dinner the day before, which was utterly disappointing. It couldn’t even compare in the least bit to even the zhi char at the food court below my house. & the place was pretty packed. Sambal Kangkong not fragrant nor spicy enough. Black pepper-ish crab was doused in soya sauce. Butter sauce accompanying the lobsters was watery & just wasn’t all that impressive. Drunken prawns was horrid, where the soup was sickeningly sweet.

There wasn’t really much to do in KK. New malls had shops that we could find in SG, and prices were comparable so there’s no point in getting your stuff there. & the shops were pretty lame anyway. Older malls were just like bad versions of Far East Plaza. 

Walking on the streets was somewhat terrifying. I constantly looked behind me, discreetly mind you, in fear that somehow would run up behind us & kidnap/rob us. & to think mom forced me to bring nicer clothes -.- We stood out with our ‘nicer clothes’ & it was as if we had “WE’RE TOURISTS & POSSIBLY HAVE TONS OF MONEY ON US” plastered all over us. Gosh. & my parents were totally unaware of the stares we were getting. Or they couldn’t be bothered. Pissed me off that they were so nonchalant about our safety.

Ah well. The wedding was really nice though. I might do another post on the wedding when I get more pictures from the camera or perhaps if I steal some photos from FB. I just needed to rant a little. & oh, no clean toilets once you step out of hotels/homes. You have no idea how happy I was to be in the washroom at Changi Airport.

Oh how I love Singapore.

Now I’ve just finished watching Secret Garden in my kdrama marathon of 20 episodes straight (cept for a 5 hour nap I had in between), & I’m officially adding Hyun Bin to my celebrity crush list :D

I realised that the asian actors I like all look kindddd of alike. Okay like Lee Byung Hun? & Tony Leung Ka Fai (hey he looked really cute in that one movie that I watched wtv it is okay don’t judge).

& the cool thing is the actress he dated before, Song Hye Kyo, dated Lee Byung Hun before O.O Lucky bitch. I don’t even find her that pretty why does she get all the hot guys.

Ah back to the point. Secret Garden. I shall place it as my favourite kdrama of all time simply cos I can’t think of another kdrama that I liked more.. although I bawl my eyes out at almost every kdrama -.-

Anyway. I love it for its cheesiness that for some reason doesn’t make me cringe but rather just LOL at the ridiculousness. I love it for its originality & funny little bits that make those moments memorable, despite the show having TONS of kdrama cliche at the same time. Rich guy? Check. Poor girl? Check. Evil mom? Check. Memory loss but recovers anyway? Check. :/ & most of all. I love the casting. There was chemistry between everyone (cept for when the supporting couple kissed which looked really awkward to me, & the director dude who had REALLY bad acting), especially between the leads.

Hyun Bin & Ha Ji Won are like the perfect couple, in my eyes at least. I so so wished they were a couple IRL, & then I found out he dated Song Hye Kyo -.- DAMN. WHY. Then I found out that he’s in army now & he broke up with her before that OH YEA. So now I’m hoping that Ha Ji Won doesn’t marry off in the next 2 years & they will get together when he comes out. Ahh~ how idealistic.

IDK what the shit they are doing & that looks like a tap to me.. ._. I just thought he looked cute here.

Empire State of Mind | Life + Times

I love my coffee press! ♥♥♥

BAH I’ve been playing Sims Social OBSESSIVELY for like the past IDK 3-4 days.

I’ll wake up, & spend the next 12 hours staring at the stupid sim walk around the house. & after like 2 hours of playing I actually decided that OH. I need to get Sims 3 Late Night! So I went to get the game the next day & happily paid 48 bucks for it -.- It lagged like shitttt IDK why all my previous ones barely did! & it was so annoying to play cos you would go to the lounges or whatever right. & 90% of the time there was NOBODY there. Total waste of my money.

Ey digressed. So yeah I’m finally starting to get over this lameass time-wasting game. Seriously I only have like 1 month or so left to A’levels & I’m spending all my time on this -.-

Anyway, this is what my sims house looks like.

Ahhaha so pink I know. I’m actually kind of sick of it so I might change it into some kinda candyland house. 

Side note. I’ve been having dreams about this one person rather often. Hmm.

It’s 4.30am now. I’m a night owl. Hoot hoot.

I was the first to cry :( 

Sent Siyu off today at the airport. She’s going to study at UK & will only be back next year June. That’s like another 9 months or so :((( She’s like one of my best friends plus we’ve been meeting up like at least twice a week for the past 2 months so it was really hard to say goodbye.

For some reason, phone calls make me cry. On A’levels result day, I didn’t cry upon receiving my results or anything. & only did when I called Lijie, & again when I called Ju, & when my mom called me. So Siyu called Yanghan to ask if she was coming & Yanghan wasn’t so they had to say goodbye through the phone, & I started crying after that. How lame huh she wasn’t even talking to me -.-

Digressing, I saw this band called The What at the airport. I got off the taxi at T1 & basically stepped out into this crowd of hyperventilating fangirls. I was like “what the?!” & then realised that right behind my cab was this van & there were these dudes unloading luggages & whatnot off the van. I stared for like 5 secs, didn’t know who the hell they were, & had to squeeze past all the fangirls to get through the entrance. Went to tell the rest that there’s some kinda band & they are probably from UK since, well, there was a UK bound flight? No one knew who the hell they were -.- Cept of cos the teeny boppers lah. Then someone somehow later found out who they were & we were like “What?! What kind of lameass name is that?!” :/ But yeah they are rather cute.

They started taking pictures or videos of the crowd & people (tons of UK-bound students departing so they were like our age & I don’t think they knew who the hell they were) just decided to go chap in the fun. Siyu waving at them: “Hey I don’t know who you are but I’ll wave at you anyway!”

End of digression. Siyu didn’t even cry! D;< Bojia & Mabel starting crying at the departure gate & I was bawling away & Siyu’s dad was happily snapping photos of us crying -.- UNGLAM.

I’ll really miss Siyu that silly bimbo :’(((

I had dinner today with Siyu, Bojia & Yanghan at Wild Honey! 

I was pretty apprehensive about going there for dinner, since Wild Honey’s concept is breakfast items from all around the world ALL DAY :/

Siyu raved about the food so I figured no harm trying yeah.

We ordered the European, Tunisian & Mexican breakfasts to share. 

European: Eggs Benedict with Parma Ham (quite nice)

Tunisian: Tomato thingy in a pan with Brioche (very average)

Mexican: Burrito (I like!)

All were priced at SGD18++ each. & I will say that they are WAY overpriced :/ 

I mean yeah they are better than the average breakfast you can get at cafes. But in the first place people don’t put that much an emphasis on quality breakfast anyway. So while in comparison the food you get at Wild Honey might seem good, it’s actually not that big of a deal.

Meh I don’t think I’ll be going back. Unless someone insists & drags me there -.-

Side note: I’m craving Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao like CRAZAYEEEEE :(((

Dinner at Wild Honey & ice cream after at Cold Stone Creamery! ♥
