Someone like you.

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

***I found someone way better than you.

SALMONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I'm a huge fan of salmon. Raw or cooked, I love it to bits! Especially smoked, yumssss!!!! Therefore I love Japanese food. I love sushi, handroll, soba, sashimi, anything! Except wasabi of course =__= So when I saw the Japanese buffet promo in Groupon, I jumped! Yes, I bought another deal from Groupon AGAIN. This is the 3rd time in 2 months =P But what's not to love about super cheap deals!

The deal is offered by Daidomon Japanese BBQ Buffet at Great Eastern Mall. I totally have no idea Great Eastern has their own mall O_o Our experience this time was way better than the first promo we bought from Groupon, the Dim Sum and Sushi buffet at Holiday Villa Hotel (limited choices and broken air cond). I guess restaurants at hotels are usually fond of conning people, hmph!

Did I mention I made a complain to Groupon? Yes I did. They sent me an email to inform me that the restaurant was experiencing some broken air cond problem and asked me if I want to postpone my appointment until they get the air cond fixed. And guess what, they sent me the notification email AFTER my appointment date! And they lied about the date of the air cond was broken! Hello! When I went there it was already broken! They messed with the wrong lady, so I replied their email and shoot them front and back, up and down. They replied me with an apologetic email and gave me 2 discount tokens! ^^ Hahaha! Talk about kiasu-ness.

Ok let's go back to the Japanese buffet. I didn't know they offer BBQ too, I thought it was just plain buffet and ala-carte. Alvin was having sore throat and coughing so we didn't have much BBQ that day =( Nonetheless I swept 5 plates of salmon, or maybe more XD

The salmon lover!

Alvin forcing me to finish the sushis =(

The sifu must be pissed with his wife that day. The handmade sushis are rock hard! I wonder how much strength he put to mold the rice! I think if I were to throw the sushi at someone, it will bounce back!

Sorry not much photos this time as I were too busy eating. Besides the rock hard sushi, everything else was nice! Even the ice-cream tasted different, soft like cotton and not too sweet. Alvin said it was Japanese ice-cream (no argument, since he went to Japan before ~__~ )

There were about 1500 vouchers bought for this deal. Hopefully they will have another promo as I'm hoping to go back again with such great deal!

p/s: because normal price is RM90 =___= 

Silence.

Everyone knows that I'm a noisy person. Everywhere I go people can hear my voice. I was dubbed as the chatter box back at high school. Even at college I still talked and laughed like nobody's business. I remember once I told my friend I was unhappy, instead of concerning, she said "I don't believe." T__T

But believe it or not, there are times I prefer to keep quiet and have a silent moment all by myself too, It's like my emo switch is turn on. A wall will be built with a signage hanging on it saying "Go away! Don't talk to me!" I will just stay at home, watch tv, paint my nails and chill. Instead of getting wasted at clubs or bars.

I don't understand why some people can't live on their own. They need to be surrounded by friends all the time. If they're left alone, it feels like they lost one arm. Do you know that you can only truly understand and find out about yourself when you're all alone? It's like self enlightenment. Usually people who MUST be with someone are immature, clueless and dependable. Whilst I can eat and go shopping alone. Seriously! I can! I'm a Capricorn ;) I don't like to deal with pettiness. When I go shopping with a large group of friends, I will either have to wait for them, can't go to shops that I want to go cos they don't want to or I feel bad spending too long in a shop while my friends wait for me. So I rather go solo or with a friend or 2, less people less pettiness.

And don't make me start about organizing a trip for a huge bunch of people! It's a nightmare! People always ask me why I always go trip just me and Alvin. I'm definitely not being anti social, but you try organizing a trip for 10! You'll scream and pull your hair so hard you go bald! But unfortunately my friends like to leave the organizing task to me. Double stress!

Recently I've been very quiet, prefer to stay mute in the office with my earphone on, listening to music or streaming ghost stories. People says when you have your earphone on, it's a sign to people that you don't want to be disturbed. It's a whole different story here, people still come over to talk to me! I don't want to talk! I like staying in the office during lunch hour to enjoy the peaceful and quiet moment too, plus I can lose weight and save money since I skip lunch or just eat biscuits from home.

Even the loudest person will have a moment they want to be quiet and observe the world.

"Silence is a true friend that never betrays."

Going lighter!

Nope, not my weight. In fact, I'm getting heavier =___= It's my hair color that is going lighter! Not as light as I wanted it to be, but I'm ok with the color. I got this hair coloring promo from Groupon again! RM98 for hair coloring, cut, wash and blow. Quite a catch, but after 2 days I bought this deal, another new promotion came out, only RM78. KNS!!!! *throw durian, papaya, watermelon*

The salon is located at the high end Hartamas area, right next to Mont Kiara. The salon is very pretty, unlike the other boring salon I always go. And all the staff in the salon are ladies! Pretty ladies! They all have nice hair and wear chic and fashionable outfit.

Oh! And guess who I met when I first stepped in to the salon. My ex lady boss! The scary lady boss from hell (literally). I used to work for 3 months in a publication company, I quit because I couldn't handle such diva! She is like the ultimate diva of all diva. She scolds people everything and anything! The toilet paper, the door, the phone, the files. She even throw money at waiters and files at a pregnant lady staff! OMFG!!!! She is horrible! And FYI, she was Mrs Malaysia. May God bless her pretty face and damn her ugly heart! As I stepped into the salon I heard a familiar voice, loud enough to be heard all across the salon =___= as usual. She is a bitch that screams "LOOK AT ME, I'M THE CENTER OF THE ATTENTION!" I quickly looked away while she walked pass me. Thank God the staff lead me to a seat discreet enough she didn't notice me. But I guess she won't remember me, that company's staffs come and go faster than I change my under garments =___=

I wasn't very impressed with the staff attitude at the beginning. I was 20 minutes earlier than my scheduled time. So I was left waiting on my seat. After waiting for 10 minutes I asked the staff attending the customer's next to me about how long I have to wait. She walked away without responding to me and came back to tell me I need to wait another half an hour with a very arrogant look on her face. I thought this is the kind of service they give to customers who come with Groupon voucher, since the salon is like some place for rich tais tais.

After half an hour, the arrogant staff came to attend me, I was like....shit, she is going to make me look like a piece of thud. But surprisingly, she smiled and served me with quite good manners. During the 3 hours process, we chatted a bit and got quite friendly. Therefore, first impression is important, but communication is even more important.

Not looking very attractive here.

Am I balding? O_o

Looked rather reddish in the photos since I took them during sunset. In real life it looks more blondish. I plan to curl my hair soon when my hair has grown to a suitable length. It has been years since I last curled my hair, 5 years ago? Can't wait!

The Power of Not Giving Up.

Life is a long journey, a path filled with obstacles and unpredictable weather. Sometimes the sun shines bright right above our head, blue sky with cotton candy clouds, birds chirping and butterflies fluttering. Sometimes there will be rain, thunder and storm. That is how we learn to grow and be a better person. A plain journey without any ups and downs are like an empty cup, you gain nothing.

I don't mind having obstacles in my life, it's tough when we're in the midst of it, but once it's over, we learn something new. It's just like fever, it sucks when  we are sick, but once it subsides, we will feel much better. And the best part is, I know my cup is not empty, it's half full.

Thanks Reuben for the premier tickets of the new movie, Real Steel. I thought it was just another robot fighting movie with computer graphics and actions. But it was more than that. It was about the power of will, hope and the strength of not giving up. No matter how small, how tough or how bad the situation is...as long as you have faith in your heart, there will always be a light in the dark.

And if your heart tells you something, follow it. Never give up on something if your heart tells you to keep fighting for it. Just like how I found my limited edition Burberry Cantley Confetti Heart tote! One year ago I fell in love with the bag, it was love at first sight. But since it is limited edition from the previous season, it was sold out everywhere. They even stopped producing it. I searched everywhere online, but all online boutiques said they no longer can get it at Europe. I even asked my friend to look for it at Burberry Singapore.

After 1 year, in the brink of giving up, I settled with another bag with a heavy heart, knowing that my heart is still yearning for the Burberry Cantley Confetti. And once a while I would still clicked the bag in Google just to look at it. And on one fateful night, like usual I saw the bag in Google and clicked it. My eyes popped, heart pounding and adrenaline rushing, I saw the bag and it was available!!! And coincidentally, the shop is the same shop I went to when I was at Penang earlier this year! I know the seller! Without 2nd thought, I called her at 11pm and immediately reserved it! The next day, I got the bag. After searching up and down, in and out for 1 year....I finally found you. It was like we were meant to be and destined to find each other...

It was love at first sight.

Nails!

I like pampering myself with manicure and pedicure. I always love looking at my nicely shaped nails with clean and neat cuticles. But sometimes I find it money wasting since it doesn't last long. Imagine going to the nail salon every time your nails run out of shape. One session is not that cheap, ya know. So I decided to do my own nail art instead, without the cuticles cutting of course, I don't know how =(

The rainbow colors of my nail polish collection.

I love this strawberry pattern! So cute!

This is my second time doing it myself, and it's getting better!

Polka dot turquoise nails. Retro cute!

Nail art pen from The Face Shop!

I used the pen to do all the dots, very convenient to use. I shall get the black color too!

This post is kinda boh liao. I just wanna show off my DIY nail art =)

The Invaluable Meaning of Photographs

People say I’m vain because I like to take photos. People who say that are nothing but shallow. I take photos simply because I want to freeze the happy moments and be kept as memories. So in the years ahead, I have some beautiful memories to reminisce, instead of being clueless about the pass. Remember, no one ever take a photograph of something they want to forget.

Back at high school, I always took my mom’s 35mm film camera to school to take photos with my friends, especially birthdays and year ends when we had nothing much do in the class. After developing them I will make collages with the photos with cute cut outs from magazines. Since then I’ve nurtured a hobby of keeping photos in pretty albums, I find it very sentimental and personal. Especially when you look back at the albums after 10 years, it just brings back so much memories with that extra personal touch.

And every year I will take a set of portraits of myself. I don’t find it vain, it’s just a way of keeping track of the years in my life and see how much I’ve changed throughout the years. We can only be 18 and 22 once, the photos of it is as treasurable as some “nobody-knows-what-the heck” masterpiece in the art gallery (minus the price, of course).

I just love this album box! It has dividers with 24 pockets each! Perfect for organizing! Thanks to Alvin ^^

I have this album where I keep a photo of each places I’ve been with Alvin too. 20 years later,  I can show my children how happening their mommy and daddy was XD

I love pimping my polaroids with stickers. I know there are many polaroid films selling out there with Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty and Mickey Mouse pre-printed on it. But my stickers are so much nicer with bling blings with space for me to write my own captions XD Last time I wanted to get a polaroid album to store all my polaroids instead of clustering them in the drawer. I saw online it was selling at such expensive price! And suddenly the light bulb above my head light up *DING!* Instead of buying expensive albums with limited pockets, why not get a namecard holder! The polaroid size is the same as a standard namecard! WALAA!

And not to forget albums for my lomo photos. Almost finishing, time to get a new one!

My polaroid album set is so cute! It comes like a DVD set, mocking the famous movies like Titanic as Titamoo, Child's Play as Moo's Play, Men in Black as Moo in Pink and Matrix as Mootrix. Cuteness!

Geez, let me count how many types of albums I have.
1. Self Portrait Albums
2. Trip Albums
3. Polaroid Albums
4. Lomo Albums

Why does one person need so many types of album for different types of photos. Dor yu, but I like ^^

An utterly unrelated photo, a corner I took over in Alvin's room (besides the wardrobe =P). Here is where I chill with my magazines, photo collage-ing and dolling up myself.
