The Chinese New Year 2017

Hola!

The Chinese New Year for 2017 just ended and in a way it's the beginning too (according to the Chinese calendar 📅). I had so much fun back at home with my grown-an-inch-taller niece! She's growing too fast 😢

Planning for a Wedding - Bridesmaid Version

Hola!

I'm not sure how married couple plan and arrange all the dets from the beginning but I'm pretty sure it;s really tiring. Even you hire an event company to settle everything. Just being a bridesmaid is tiring enough for me when I used to always think that a bridesmaid's job is just to look pretty and pose for the camera next to the bride. Pfft.

I'm gonna write a small part of the wedding preps and issues based on a bridesmaid point of view.

No-Plan Plan

Holla!

Last weekend was great! Can't say perfect, but it was good enough for a short getaway. I haven't been travelling out this year. Going back to home town doesn't count of course. So, my friends and I booked our ticket to Langkawi awhile ago. I've never been to any beach trips in West Malaysia hence I think it's a good time to explore Langkawi.

Overall, it was an enjoyable one. It wasn't sunny throughout our stay (such a turn off) otherwise, everything was great. Langkawi isn't a huge place to explore. Would fit those who wants a no-plan kinda plan. 

Random walks, random restaurants to dine in, random conversations, basically everything was random for us. Didn't particularly plan for anything. I feel pretty fun that way. Probably just what we all needed from our working lives. Our days are literally planned - what to do, where do have dinner, who to meet tomorrow. 

I think city people should try out this kind of plan. It's less hectic than a planned trip and it's really fun!

Til then!

Seoul, Korea

Annyeong haseyo! My final trip for this year was to Hawaii! But the flight had to transit via Korea for a day so I got the chance to explore Korea just a very tiny bit. The tour brought us to a 'place' (haha! sorry I don't know what place is that but it's just 15mins from Incheon airport) where we had our lunch and then we were allowed to snap some photos with their costume on.. 

It is winter now in Korea so the weather wasn't sunny but the trees are as pretty. The rest of the pictures are the snaps I got while exploring the streets. Last but not least, I found out there is a Charlie Brown Cafe in Incheon Airport! WTM!! I didn't know about it when I arrived the airport. It was only when I was catching my flight back to Malaysia then I passed by this cafe! >.< Didn't have much time to take a sip so I just snap a few shots. :( There is Helly Kitty store as well, just further down Charlie Brown's cafe..

My impression towards Korea is.... I don't like it. Not because of the weather however, it was because of the people. Maybe it's their culture, or their personality, I don't know. The people are unfriendly (seriously it's not just me) and sometimes rude. Once they know you don't speak Korean or not a Korean at all, they will stare with this horrible face like you owe them a shyt. Or they will talk to you without looking AT you. ..? It's so much different from the Korean dramas that teens are crazying about.. totally-insanely-honestly. Probably only 40% of Koreans will be nice to you ( I assume their partner are not Koreans) and when you find these 40% of people, you'll cry of relief, knowing that not everybody 'HATES' you.

And another good example was.... I was on the plane and sitting at the isle seat. So this Korean couple came and waited for me to stand and let them in. My pillow fell on the ground and the Korean girl just KICKED IT AWAY. 'Nough said, mmkaythanxcibaikia.

For once and for all....,

I
WILL
NEVER
LIKE
KOREA
OR
THOSE
60%
KOREANS!

JAPAN FTW!

Blue Date

Hola!

Don't really have time to write until today! Hopefully more free days to come then I'll have time to write more often. Urghh.. 

Anyway, last Sat and Sun was productive especially Sunday. Watched Riddick on Sat night in Tropicana City Mall. In rare occasions GSC Tropicana's tickets are slightly cheaper. Bought my first Moleskine organizer. And it's in the Peanuts limited edition organizer! Freakin' expensive. *the end* Need to save money for my trip next month! >.<

Bought a Snoopy bearbrick for Mr.A few months. But I decided to give it to him only yesterday. Hahah! 

Sunday - I went out with my college mate in Sunway. Biasa lah catch ups and updates. :)) Got some British pressie, saw some really weird dressed ladies around Sunway's convention centre on behalf of the food fair thingy. We had a shot of Instax and I love it cause I can't spot my braces! At least not that obvious. *wink* Then I went to Austin Chase to wait for Mr.A :)

This was taken this morning. :) Pretty sky but not a very good Monday. My car almost....ALMOST got clamped. Lucky I ran out in time. Kesian to all the cars...yellow is not really a good colour.

That's all for now. Coming long weekend! Yuhuu!

#throwbacks 1

Hola!

This is just a throwback for last weekend. Meh.. I'm getting more and more paiseh with my picture's quality cause I have been blogwalking and damn, their pictures are so darn pretty! >.< 

*SAVE MONEY MODE ON*

While these are throwbacks (some of them are from 2012 haha!) that I miss dearly. :) Sometimes I just don't know if I posted the same pictures twice....or thrice. Wtm... Memory #phail. I think more pics coming IF AND ONLY IF I have a new cam. :)))

I can't remember the name of this restaurant but the pizza is good. 

From the same but forgot the name restaurant

That's it!

Ron 95

Hola..

*sigh* I heard the news of RON 95 and Diesel oil increase RM0.20/litre with immediate effect from 3/9/2013, 12 AM. Such a sad sad news reporting on how the government is trying to help their own people. I personally think it's affecting majority of the people. Unless you're like......super freakin' rich.

I, myself is from an average family. But I was pretty lucky because I'm one of the 80's babies so my parents afford to raise my brother and I better back then. We were brought up with less problematic situation compared to what my generation is facing now. And I don't even want to imagine the next. However, I am today, a degree holder but so what? I'm so underpaid and I was questioned for a GAZILLION times:-

WHY I DON'T STAY OVERSEAS TO WORK?

Auntie, uncle, ladies and gentleman, adik, kakak and abang sekalin, YOU STAY IN MALAYSIA SO LONG NEVER READ NEWS IS IT?! OVERSEAS ALSO GOT FINANCIAL CRISIS YOU DON'T KNOW MEH?! EVEN THEIR OWN CITIZENS CANNOT GET A DECENT JOB, YOU THINK THIS OFTEN-MISUNDERSTOOD-AS-MADE-IN-CHINA-GIRL CAN MEH?!?! 

~~>:o/

For those who are working overseas, please die there. Don't ever look back. There was a saying "Setinggi tinggi tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah jua." Cut the bull crap and please pinch whichever teacher teaches you that. It's 2013, this saying is no longer valid. Why? Cause you can build your home WHEREVER you wish. If there is any reason, any reason at all that could stir you move out of this place, please do. 

Some people say "If you don't like it here, then leave." Well I think it's a really brilliant idea. For me, not that I don't want to but I can't even save enough monthly to reach my MIGRATE-TABLE goal to move out of here. Seriously. Of course I wish things will get better *fingers crossed*. It's such a beautiful country......................................if you minus the SENSITIVE ISSUE.

I'm happy with my job though the pay is shyt. But I just have to suck it up until I have enough to move my ass out of here, kan? Or will I ever have that chance...?

How now brown cow?

That's all! I wish my car drinks water!
