happy independence day! independence day meant so much to many people. it's the day when our ancestors truly experience the freedom, not having to obey orders from conquerors. from that day onwards, our nation shall govern the country. how did you spend your night yesterday? did you feel the relief of being an independent country? guess not many people had thought of that,huh? frankly speaking, though i love my country but i'm not patriotic to the state that i dance around with malaysia flag.

yesterday i fell asleep the moment i reached home from work. i had been deprived of sleep since lately. i slept til almost 9pm before i woke up and took my bath. after that i went downstairs to have my dinner only to find rice on the dining table. mii cooked chicken rice but obviously the plate of chicken wasn't on the table. i ran to the fridge to search for it but to no avail. in the end,i called mii as she was out with dad and karen. she laughed nonstop as she finished the remaining chicken because she didn't want to waste the food. she thought that i had my dinner. -_-|| obviously my mii dreamt that i took my dinner with her. feeling quite cranky and hungry, i was speechless and was contemplating whether to continue my beauty sleep. mii was quick enough to ask me not to get back to bed and wait for them as they had packed food for me. gee, how did she know what is on my mind?

finally they were back with food. -_-|| they actually packed dad's leftover food. ish...they were so mean but it was compensated with good leftover food. my dad's principle of life is to have good food no matter what happens. guess i did benefit from that i never had to worry bout whether the food served was delicious.

though i'm on the brink of having no life but i did go out! haha.. just that i was out from my home at 11pm. our mission was to meet michy who was busy working. that snail was not really sure of the directions to her workplace but luckily we were not lost lost. yeah, you read it right! when i said not lost lost, it meant that we were not completely lost. perhaps lost a little but someone denied it.

anyway, michy was so surprised to see us. i reckoned she was so touched til she almost cried. ok, i exaggerated la. one thing's for sure. she was really excited and happy to see us. though we missed fireworks during the journey to meet her as we were too busy looking out for KLCC, i was glad that this year's merdeka celebration's a success! no heartbreaking or guilty moments as compared with 4years ago.

guess time really does heal everything, no matter how hurt you are, no matter how upset you have been, no matter how you think future is too vague and you wish to just stop the time. i'm truly blessed to have friends around me during that period.

princess no more...say hello to auntie~ before any of you jump into conclusions, i guess i better explain myself. no, i'm not holding grudges or have anything against aunties. in fact i love to chat with them as they have been through a long journey in life which they are more than happy to share it with anyone who is willing to listen. though they nag at times but they are right most of the time. don't you just hate it at times? it's as if they can read your mind.

anyway, the reason for my title is because i guess many of you have noticed the change in me. at least most of my friends realise it and when i ask guys for their opinions, they just have to be so honest and frank. it's like a slap on the face, a really hard one indeed! many people have been telling me that i have stopped dressing up when i go out, even when i'm attending classes. it's so not me in the past. i agree with that as i'm too tired to dress up nowadays.

i'll grab the clothes that first caught my sight even if i've just worn it like 2 days ago without even realising it til my friends point out that fact to me, be it working attires or casual wear. my principle of dressing up is yet another type of way to respect the person(s) i'm out with has been thrown into the deep blue sea. i guess working life has definitely affect my life one way or the other. perhaps you'll wonder the connection between the matters.

it's really simple after u've known the reasons. that shopping queen that you used to know who so happens is also the owner of this simple blog has lost her title. it's sales period now. everyone has been shopping and purchasing lots of stuff excitedly during this long malaysia mega sales since july. believe it or not, i've not even been out shopping! gee, it's sales period and i don't even have the time to go shopping let alone taking the time for personal grooming sessions. if i have the time, i'll choose to sleep instead. i'm practically at the edge of having no life.

my beauty regime which includes washing face twice a day, exfoliating face at least once a week, doing mask at least twice a week and removing whiteheads or blackheads at least once a week has gone haywire. my facial wash is empty but i don't have the time to buy a new one. luckily due to my past experience of wasting money by buying more than one set of facial care when i go shopping, i still manage to find one facial wash left. my exfoliating cream for face is almost empty but i still have a replacement. phew~ my past habit of shopping too much comes handy now. haha, but my mask is still full as i'm too tired to do mask anymore. my exfoliating face step has been reduced to once a month. thus my friends say that i look like an auntie right now. they say that i don't even fit into the HOT auntie category. -_-||

if you have noticed, i don't even wear contacts nowadays. it's not that i'm too lazy to wear it but it's because i don't even have the time to visit the optical shop. i'm in serious need to change my specs as my eye powers have increased plus i really need to buy contacts so that i can at least shed off some auntie aura from myself. thus i set time with my mum so that she can accompany to the said shop but it's always being cancelled at last minute because i can't find the time. other than chatting bout my work in the car with mum, i don't even spend much time with her anymore. i either sleep or go out with friends as i've been cancelling too many friends' outing plans. so sorry for that, my friends~

laughter is always the best medicine! on friday night, i went for movies with my sisters,kerry and her bf and of course karen, michy, chris and his sis and friend. we watched ratatouille in gsc, 1U. someone was hardworking enough to actually buy the tickets earlier but he bought 8 tickets instead of 6 tickets. in the end, we got to meet his sis and friend as one of his sis couldn't make it that night.

as we sat down and laughing our way moments before the movie started, michy suddenly mentioned bout her being lonely. she added that her left and right were family. at fist i didn't quite get her meaning til i looked to her left. lol.. oops, left were chris and his family and to michy's right were my family and i. it's totally unexpected that we sat in such a way. poor michy~ *hugs*

as the movie was about to start, we were still laughing and busy chatting. karen constantly guided me to the popcorns as my hand didn't aim properly. i almost ate her fingers. i was busy entertaining myself til i almost choke on my drinks. -_-||

throughout the movies, i was shocked twice til i jumped a little. i didn't realise that both michy and karen noticed it until the both of them couldn't stop giggling though no funny scenes were on screen. i didn't know that my reaction was that big. now, that's embarrassing~

luckily the girl at the counter didn't spoil my mood that night. i repeated my orders thrice before she finally managed to register my orders into her understanding. gosh, i almost lost my patience at that time as i was kind of hungry. i ordered ice lemon tea combo and soft drink combo. since she gave me two sizes of popcorns, i asked her the difference. guess what was her answer?
.
.
.
.
.
.

"the size~"

omg!!! as if i didn't have eyes to see that or i was too retarded to even realise that glaring fact! i raised my eyebrows and gave her that i-knew-that-they-were-of-different-sizes-so-just-tell-me-which-box-of popcorn-was-for-which-combo. guess she's not alert enough to read my facial expression and hence i need to dictate it to her.

i finally meet them! *pic credits to jo!


lol..ok, i know this post is supposed to be featured last month but i'm too busy to online and update my blog. it's an excuse for laziness and procrastination. the fact that i'm busy with work and too tired after work shouldn't be the reason i use for not updating my blog. i apologise for my incompetency to maintain my blog at its best. guess i still need to learn how to find time and sleep less than 6hours per day.



however,the fact that i may look older than my real age scares me as everyone has been telling me how women at my age should really take care of my daily routine or else my skin will age faster than it should be. i don't want to look old though it may help in career, being a professional.



anyway, thanks to shaz, i finally have the chance to meet some of the bloggers. it's supposed to be his birthday party but i think it's more like a bloggers' gathering to me. *sticks out tongue* the good news is i manage to chat with sylvia when the both of us are sitting down for dinner, unlike previously we stand and chat for less than 5 minutes! i get to meet jo the big eyes girl and mikel again. the surprise appearance of steph, the colourful hair girl. i still envy her hair to this date! of course not forgetting beng han who thinks that i'm eri though i've introduced myself as kylie. he's really blur case. haha... finally someone is more blur than me.







contrary to most beliefs, most bloggers are not weird or stuck up. at least they don't appear to be like what people perceive bloggers should be. they are really warm and friendly. actually shaz has invited lots of people and he even make the effort to introduce them to us but due to my inability to remember names, i forget most of their names. so sorry for that~



haha..i'll post the pic of the birthday boy when i have time to download them from jo's multiply site.

i need a break! gosh, i was busy in july as it was peak period at work. just when i thought i should be free by august as it's off peak period, i was totally wrong. off peak period for audit but peak period of tax as need monitor the tax instalment payments of clients. i felt contented that it was over as the last day was on 10th august and the next instalment would be by 10th of sept. perhaps i should learn how to laze around at work. lol. by doing so, i would be more free as i didn't need to push myself to finish the work in my hand in the shortest time possible. if only i knew how to relax and not push myself too much.

if some of you might have noticed, i was quite impatient nowadays. crappy things just got on my nerves and pissed me off easily. perhaps i had forgotten how to channel my anger by bingeing on food. many of my coursemates and friends said that i lost my weight to which i didnt believe at first. since they insisted that they were right, i decided to try on some of my old clothes which were kept in the luggages months ago. i couldnt fit into them anymore as i gained lots of weight. to my horror, i could wear them now. it's a good news of course as i didnt have to waste money to buy new clothes.

on the other hand, it's definitely a bad news! that's because i lost so much weight only after 1 month of working life. i could imagine myself looking like an alien after few months if the weight loss continued. i really need to learn how not to stress myself too much so that i could put a stop to the weight loss situation.

haha, yeah, i know that this post is all bout myself. i guess i need to update you people bout me. will blog bout other stuff much later. please be patient with me as this time i'm not consistent with the blogging routine as a result of hectic schedule instead of the usual procrastination.

i guess it's time for tag again! being tagged by michy

10 Things I Hate!!

* Food I hate : those with garlic and onions... i just don't like onions and garlic because i can't stand it's taste. though i know onions are good for health but i don't like them~ ok,i'll still eat the food but you'll see me taking my time to push them aside.


* Fruit I hate : pineapples simply because i cut my tongue every time i eat them. they just hate me! sob...sob...


* Veggies I hate : those that taste bitter such as bitter gourds. the only reason i still eat them at times is my mii says that they are good for my skin. what to do??!! i'm a vain girl!

* Celebrities/People that I hate : those who appears to be all saint but actually they are sucky person. how on earth i will know whether they are sucky person when they aren't on air? it's simple~ look at how they treat their make up artists, hairstylists, managers, etc.


* Event/Situation/Incident that I hate : when idiotic guys are looking at me with their 'i'm-actually-raping-you-with-my-eyes' kind of expression..damn yucks!! i know i'm not hot but still i don't deserve that look. ok la, i admit that i'm discriminating people. if that guy is cute or gorgeous, i don't mind! look all you want! *sticks out tongue*


* TV shows/movies that I hate : horror movies..coz i'm so afraid of ghosts. actually people dislike to watch it with me too as i'll suddenly hold onto the person next to me. be it his/her hands or cover my face on his/her shoulders. my ex-housemates used to say that they weren't shocked by the movie. they were shocked by me instead as i created a more horrifying stunt.


* Music I hate : anything that i feel is disturbing or by particular singers. can't type their names or else i'll be thrashed by their fans.


* Household chores that I hate : mopping the floor. i always have backache after that. perhaps i should say wash the toilet as i've not washed it in my entire life(up to this date,of course! if my future bf wants me to wash it, i'll consider bout it. he better be the best bf in the whole wide world or else, i'll just hire a cleaner to clean it when he's not around~ i know it'll be deceiving him but sometimes white lies won't hurt??)


* Things that you hate around the world : people who thinks nothing but himself/herself. in words, it's just plain selfish.


* Things that you hate about yourself : blur case, clumsy as i always fall down, don't have enough energy to do heavy chores, being too sarcastic til it sometimes hurt other people's feelings



The Face Behind The Blog


i was still a freshie in college. life being spent as an outstation student involved doing the household chores myself. just imagine that i had never wash my own laundry previously, not even washing my own panty but during my college life, i had to do laundry myself. so what if i called mii when i was washing my own laundry for the very first time? i needed step-by-step guidance. i still survivied those times though at the beginning my hands were allergic to the detergent. mii had to buy those extra mild ones for me. i know many of you will think that i'm a pampered girl. mii has really taken good care of me~


this pic of me was taken during an outing with my sis, kerry and evelyn. not forgetting kerry's friends, emly, eric ew and eric tan. i missed the time when we hang out together at redbox as they had nice voice. guessed student life came to an end after few graduated. it's the memories that's left. i'm truly blessed to have known these angels. btw, they camwhore lots too. that's the climate of any outings with them around! craziness is part of the requirement~


i miss having a family holiday trip~ actually i miss holiday trip with friends as well. all the memories are just simply marvellous. in fact, i love to the feeling of being around people. the warm, fuzzy feeling makes me feel loved~


it's the first time i dressed up in all white outfit. i prefer all black though i look slimmer and sexier. lol. i'm not blessed with sexy body and the only way for me to look sexy is to conceal my shortcomings with black outfits with compliments my whole outlook. i'm practicing the 'if you aren't born pretty, you have to dress up pretty' concept. guess it's fading soon as being busy at work makes me lazy to dress up. a lame excuse for a lazy girl like me.

down with a bruised knee & a swollen feet oh gosh, i'm once again in pain. this time, it's double the pain as i have a bruise on my left knee and a swollen right foot. *screams out loud* as some of you may have known, i'm totally immune to falling on the ground but this time it's different as i hurt different areas. luckily it's not both my knees or else i guess i'll bleed immediately.

i was out for my lunch when it happened. i didn't see the BIG hole on the ground and step right into it with my heels. kerry couldn't manage to save me this time as she was holding her office documents which needed to be attested on her left hand and her mobile phone on her right hand. as i was trying to break my fall, i succumbed to grabbing kerry's leg. it sounded quite wrong but i didn't have time to think at all. it all happened so fast. the uncle who walked past us was trying to help me up but kerry already did. he screamed, "aiyo"! *thanks uncle for feeling the pain though i didn't know you*

i was stunned for quite some time. it's not because of embarrassment as i fell in front of uptown 5 during lunch hour when many people were on the street. it's more to like i was so afraid that i might sprained my right ankle for the third time! i felt a jolt of pain on my right ankle. i thought it's a gone case as my ankle was previously hurt quite badly twice. if you people had noticed, my right feet looked swollen all the time due to the previous injury.

good news: yay! i didn't sprain my ankle for the third time~
bad news: oh no~ i had a swollen foot which made me feel like a giant elephant.

it's a miracle that i still could walk with a bruised left knee(my blueblack was getting obvious) and a swollen right foot on heels back to office and went to chinese medicine shop with mum as she insisted on buying ointment for my foot. i couldn't post the pics right now. perhaps would post it much later.

i wish i have bigger feet so that i don't fall as often as now. guess this wish will never come true~
