Never Be Anything But Loud

Each of One Tree Hill's episode was named after a song. When I knew that, I thought it was something really cool. To date, I've only named ONE of my posts after a line in a song that I was listening to while writing the post. This post isn't named after a song, it was a line that caught my attention the most while writing this. 

Why anything but loud.? Probably that pretty much explains who and how I am. Mostly in everything that I do, the way I think, the things I find interesting, the way I dress, the way I carry myself ~  I try to do it differently, not in an attention seeking kinda way, more like a "different approach". But at the same time, I have no problem swaying in the background as well. Of course, not everything is like out there for everyone to see and hear. Some just stays with me. If all goes out, if only I was ever that outspoken, I would be offending people everywhere I go, picking fights with everyone that crosses me =.=

On a more lighthearted note, I received something in the mail today =) 

I think you can tell what it is, but definitely not exactly what right.? 

And I gave myself a treat by having some Photoshop fun. Nothing very experimental, just something I do for fun :-) Yes, this is what I call fun...

                     

Red Woolly Jacket

As some of you might know, I am a big fan of the colour red. Recently, I read a post in Monochromachic where she mentioned something about Old Navy. I used to receive Old Navy clothes whenever my relatives come home from US, well at least up until I start requesting what I want >.<


Anyways, that made me curious on what their products are like now. Old Navy screams affordable in the States, and here in Malaysia, as far as I know, there is no Old Navy outlets here, only Gap ~ their sister brand. Gap also screams affordable over there, but look what happened when it hit our shores. So not affordable.!! So, I would also guess that Old Navy would be anything but affordable once it steps foot here. Back to the topic, I checked their site few days ago, and boy do they have really nice pieces and it is dirt cheap in USD. Being a sucker for jackets (in this hot weather.!!) I browsed through the women's jacket and found these two adorable little things.

Okay, so the 2nd one isn't exactly made of wool, but that makes it more Malaysian weather-friendly.

Adorable right.??!

Ramblings About Snow Pt. 1

Why doesn't it snow in Malaysia.? Yes, I am having those times where I wonder hopelessly and continue to dream that one day Malaysia will miraculously start snowing >.< The thought of putting on a beanie hat, mittens, snow boots and layering more and more is just so exciting. I am the kind that layers her clothes as if its snowing or as if we have chilly weather here to say the least. Even when the scorching hot sun is right above my head, I will still find a way to layer. I've not gone layering up to 3 pieces, but who knows right.? I might turn up to class one day looking as if there is a snow storm going on. Quite no life right.? Ahahaha =D I love my blazers and cardigans XD


Many girls in Uni, my Uni included, are the jeans + t-shirt kind. I used to be that. Those 3 for RM50 tees at Brands Outlet were what I considered the best deals available for people with a budget like mine. It still is, but their tees have become so common, the chance of running into a random stranger having the same tee as you is much higher now. Come to think of it, its really something to just wear jeans and t-shirts and be perfectly pleased. I'm really not that simple anymore I guess.

Anyways, I just want chilly weather later today. I really cannot wait to wear my new orange blazer. Ahahaha =D

* Oh and there's a "Pt. 1" to this post, as I know there will be more "I want to see snow" posts to come. I don't think I'm gonna be waking up from this "I wanna see snow" dream of mine anytime soon =P

0750 at Campus

Reached FBL at 7.50am, 10 minutes earlier than what I had planned. I don't even go for my 8am classes that early, its either I arrive on time or I will be slightly late. *elevator door opens..* There's already a very long queue there. What on earth.??!?! How can this be.??!?! Nevertheless, I went to the end of the line and queued up like everyone else wanting to add their subjects. They started giving out numbers at approximately 8.15am and by 8.40am I heard the officer said "Nombor dah habis. Datang balik esok..". W H A T. . ? !

How it looked like at 8.20am o.O

Went to see the lecturer whose subject I'm trying to add to ask for her permission and signature. She didn't want to sign my form and she told me to take this subject next semester o.O I didn't want to drag this subject till the next semester as I was trying to stick to my course structure. Anyways, I left her room without the permission and signature.

Went back to my room after that, stayed for a mere 10 minutes, then head out again to campus to return a book that I've borrowed from my lecturer since last semester. This lecturer managed to help me with my subject registration issue. A senior lecturer signed my form and told me to add this subject ASAP. At the end, I managed to add this subject and I'm still sticking to my course structure =) Whheeeee~~~~

After everything is settled and done in campus, I walked back to my place. Suddenly, I remembered that there was something in the mail for me today, that is waiting to be collected at the apartment's office. My orange blazer.!!! It was one of the few birthday gift I bought for myself during Finals last semester and after waiting for 2 weeks, its finally here =)

Mine =)

That is all I have for now. First half of the day wasn't bad at all come to think of it. God provided me a way out with my subject registration mess and also the joy of finding something in the mail. Hahaha =D Will look forward to the remaining second half of today =)

Cool People Walk Alone Too

I thank God even though today has been tiring both emotionally and physically. I put up a good face, the "professional" face during ROC practice which was close to half a day. It could have been much worse, but hey look on the bright side, at least I get to go on with my next semester according to my course structure, I can take all the subjects according to the structure, and I don't have to retake any papers =) That is something to smile about.

Being the kind of person who has this fear of seeing her own results and the habit of getting someone else be the deliverer of bad news, so I asked a couple of my friends to check my result. Then a text came..*jeng jeng jeng* *face turned black* definitely not what I wanted to see. I remember ever since starting Uni, I can say my ultimate fear is getting below a certain CGPA. Went to one corner of the room and called a friend of mine and ranted all I wanted. 

Then the hard part came ~ telling the parents...Chose another corner of the room with a window. Talked to my dad and told him that there might be a chance he has to start paying for my tuition fees. The lecture he gave was surprisingly short. In fact he told me some really encouraging stuff, hearing that I went on more bout the financial side of things instead of how I should start working harder for better grades. *Don't worry who's gonna pay your fees, that's for me to worry. You just make sure to work harder to get better results* Every kid would I guess be rejoicing when their dad mentions that. I felt even worse, more guilty in fact, started crying and he kept saying everything will be ok... All I wanted at that time was to go back to my room and be alone. But I was hungry, so no choice, have to walk into a restaurant with my eyes red and swollen >.< 

Second half of the day came which equates to more practices. Honestly, I wasn't in the mood and if I were rebellious enough, I could have just walked back without even thinking twice. Walked into the room and saw some people clearly very pleased with what they have gotten *tahan, don't cry MeiTheng* Practice didn't go so well, couldn't nail my ahem role and its so clear that scenes with my ahem role could not move in the progress chart because of me. I know I am giving my directors a hard time and making them more frustrated by not letting loose and all. I really am trying, maybe there's something seriously wrong with me.

Practiced dismissed for the day, grabbed my stuff and left immediately. Went into my room, locked doors, called my friend and cried talking to her probably even freaked her out a lil'. Didn't head out for dinner, don't know if anyone had any plans, no one called, didn't bother to call either. I like spending my nights even my days alone anyways =) Cool people walk alone too you know =P Did a little bit of laundry, watched some One Tree Hill and that's basically how today went. 

Emotionally draining enough.?? With disappointments here and there.? 

For me ~ y e s.

Something Chambray

 .: C h a m b r a y :.

Personally, I consider chambray both a colour and a type of fabric, I say its denim. After seeing chambray appearing a number of times in the blogs that I follow over a period of time, I decided maybe its time I get one of it, be it in the form of a blouse or a skirt, for myself. Sounds like what every shopaholic will tell and convince herself with when she is well aware of her unhealthy spending habits. Anyways, I am now the proud owner of a chambray skirt =) What is there not to love.? The light blue shade and the denim texture of it and how it can go with everything just like a faithful pair of jeans. I can even do the denim-over-denim thing that I've been wanting to do ever since I bought myself a denim oversized collared shirt almost a year ago. Plus it doesn't have the floral print that some deemed as too feminine. I don't know if this is currently an it-thing or what, but I am just so drawn to it. Ahahaha =D

70 bucks investment :-P

Bought mine at Cotton On(Sunway) together with two blouse and 2 charm bracelets. I spend too much at Cotton On *tsk tsk* And I shop too much whenever I am back home *tsk tsk tsk*

By the end of the week...
And yet I still complain I have nothing to wear =.=

Lastly, enjoy the remaining of your break MMU-ians...And for those who are going for ice-skating while I am here practicing for ROC, enjoy yourselves yea.!! =) There will be another time...

Beta year’s first trimester has come to an end now with me just sitting for my last paper for this Final barely hours ago. Was it a good semester you may ask. I would say, give and take ~ ok ny la. Nothing much to really shout about. Undeniably, it has been a semester of meeting new people, adjusting to the environment and culture here and most definitely trying to embrace what this place and the people here can offer. It has been a tiring one as well...

Truth is, I know that this could be a much longer, close to never ending post if I were to tell you how things didn’t go as planned and how things turned out differently for me here. And by didn’t go as planned and turned out differently, I meant that in a not so positive way. I wasn’t negative from the very beginning though. You have no idea how positive I was at the beginning ~ so positive that it could probably cure cancer *haha..exaggeration*  Then things started to not turn out the way I expected it to and I realized some hard truths. Truths that are though painful to accept and realize, but I’m glad I realized it sooner than later. With those revelations, I could pretty much say I started to get tired. Tired here as in lazy-to-put-in-effort-and-respond-to-things kind of tired. Call me unwilling to try and put in an effort, but that’s cause you don’t have a single clue how hard I tried at the beginning. I also have this amazing thrill like never before to want to go home all the time and the feeling of wanting to run out of here every chance I got. Anyways, if any of you are curios and wanna know what happened, come ask me and I’ll tell you. I wouldn’t mind sharing. Definitely not going to do it here.

Then, because I was embracing my new found alone time, I kept myself busy with a few stuff. And this is the short list of things that I did to practically keep me sane...

- Talked on the phone as if there was no tomorrow and as if the phone charges were free

- Started following more blogs, give and take around 6 now

- Gave blogging a try, hence the birth of this blog and

- A Picture a Day - September 2011 ~ enjoyed doing these the most

And before I cabut for my much needed and awaited semester break, here are two pictures I wanna share…

Before Beta_1 started

As of now when Beta_1 has ended

Well, the closet did expand =P

~ I can’t wait to get home.!!!

~ Can’t wait to see the hand-me-downs that I’ve gotten that is just screaming to be touched and seen

~ Can’t wait to cook a real meal for myself even if it’s just frying eggs and experiment in the kitchen

~ Can’t wait to watch TV =P

~ Can’t wait to have hot water for showers

~ Can’t wait to eat my favourite char siew noodle from my favourite kopitiam

~ Can’t wait to have the house all to myself

~ Can’t wait to sing on top of my lungs without the fear of anyone hearing and seeing me

~ Can’t wait to do so much of things.!!!

Have a good break peeps and may you be recharged for the new semester =) That is what semester breaks are for...

Reporting at 2am...

Hello there, I've decided to write a post because...well just because actually. Nah, its most probably because I've not written anything anywhere for a while now, so yes, I wanna "get in touch" with writing again ~ before it gets rusty XD


Well, Finals are almost done. I've got 2 more papers to freedom. Gonna cabut from here on the day I finish my last paper itself. And September is also coming to an end, which means my little side project (which I extremely enjoyed) "A Picture a Day ~ Sept '11" will also come to an end. By the 30th of September, there would be a total of 30 pictures in that album :-) wooOtsss.!! So planning to do this again next year :-)


Other than that, been studying for Finals and also this - been blog hopping to check out what happened during NYFW =P This is strange considering I don't even know what season it is now and I've never followed any Fashion Weeks before. All the blogs that I've bookmarked and been following didn't talk much bout the shows that went on under the tent. Instead they talk more about their blogger events held in conjunction with Fashion Week. Trust me, these things that fashion bloggers get to do and the events that they get to go to, looks so FUN and EXCITING.!! I'm not gonna use the word awesome as it is so over-used these days, people use it to describe practically everything that its losing its meaning now ~ such a sad fact...


So, I guess that is all I have for now. Hope to write in again when Beta_1 Finals are officially done and history. Nites y'all =)Have a great day ahead...

How Nice To Feel This Way...

Feeling so at home right now, not just because I am at home, but its the people here, the place here...
