Random Updates

Wow, it's been such a long time since I last updated on this site. While for most of the time the excuse to not blog would be that I was busy, this time I actually am without a reason.

Anyway, Chinese New Year was lovely (how I wished it would never end), with a total of 6 gatherings, 5 sessions of 'Loh Hei' (is that how you spell it?), 6 sessions of card games, 6 sessions of laughter and a whole bunch of food. And to think that my mum's side of the family would mean that it would be a small celebration. I hope yours was just as well, if not better.



Well, there's nothing much to say actually, just that I've been gaining loads of weight from indulging non-stop, and that there's a couple of posts saved in the draft, that I've yet to complete. So people, I'm alive and well, if not eating, sleeping and rotting myself to death (as my dad puts it). Hah!


Till then!

Random Updates

Look at how time flies.



It is already the 6th week for most of us and fortunately for me, I am still able to have a firm grip on my assignments without losing touch fun and the datelines of course!

I am pretty aware at how dead this blog is, needless to say, who reads it. But nevertheless, I would still be updating. And it's a warning to you guys, because the next few posts might be too wordy to handle.

Anyways, the past two weeks has been a change for me. Not only have a made new friends (from my class. Yes, that is how pathetic I am.), but I have been practically spending my 'after-school' time with them, be it for Lunch, Dinner or to simply hang out to chill.

And I have indeed had a blast with them. It's not that I have totally forgotten the old pals' that I used to hang out with (both in Poly and in Sec Sch). In fact, I've been keeping in touch with them(you guys know who you are!) because I do cherish the friendship lah (mushy moment).

But having to hang out with this bunch of friends is like a total refreshment. What do I mean by that? Well, I do enjoy every second with this group but what came as a shocker to me was how direct they were when I asked them about their first impression of me (no offence taken)!

Now I understand how people judge me when they see me from a distant away. However, it was hilarious when most of them actually told me of the confusion they had when I appeared to be so much more friendlier that they pictured me to be (because of my dyed hair, piercing and so on...)!

I guess as much as we'd all like others to not judge us by our 'covers', someway, somehow, we will be judged like that. It is either we accept and move on, or we stay put and whine about it.

As for me, I'm not the least bit offended. In fact, I like the idea of making people wonder what the hell is up with me. Like I said, it's the things that bewilder people, that make you stand out. Hahah!


Other than that, the past two weeks has been awesome. Got to know my classmates better, got to hate certain things here and there even more, and most importantly, I got to meet the Mucus Clan! Dark Berry Mocha Frap was gooooooood.



And Jeanice, you better give me back my wood bracelet or I'll bloody Mary you.

Random Updates

You know what would be awesome? Owning a 'Daiso' shop.

If you've never been there, you should. Because the place is simply heavenly. You can buy stuffs, ranging from aesthetic products to kitchen ware, from stationery sets(the pens there are a steal!) to electronic items, to decorative boxes (very lovely designs, great for gifts!) to pouches and bags (I bought a laptop bag, and another smaller one for my phone!), from socks to shawls (I bought some toe socks! I miss wearing them to school!), from hats to slippers, from crackers to chocolates(the crackers are really nice, I like the spicy ones. The chocolates are just as lovely. And I tried those instant puddings and muffins and they were not bad.), from tea to bottled drinks. All from this simple Japanese shop!

And the best part? Every freakin' item is $2!


(Whaaaaat.. I told you I loved Daiso.)

I can spend at least 2 hours in there, and I have never been bored from walking around in 'Daiso'.


So just yesterday, I visited the one at Vivocity by myself (no, this is not a sign of sympathetic pleas). And after spending 2 and a 1/2 hours in there, I came out with a bag full of stuffs. And of all the items that I managed to buy, I left the shop grinning from ear to ear, because I bought myself a set of 370 pieces (with 16 different colours!) Origami papers!


I was really happy, so happy that when I got home, I took all of them out, arranged them accordingly (they were previously arranged in sets of four colours. Like white, yellow, pink, orange. Then another set of white, yellow, pink,orange. Wait, why am I even explaining this?!) and took a picture of them!





Upon seeing this, I know most of you would start counting and would jump at the moment to call me stupid because there are actually 18 colours and not 16. But the packet said 16 what.. Besides, the gold and silver only had a piece each (Why do they always give only a piece of gold and silver in every packet?).

(The gold one is above the silver, which is above the black. The reflection of it makes it look like yellow.)


And so, this is my short update. Pretty random, I know.


Oh, and while walking around Vivocity, I found this tree, and I took a picture of it. I used colured sketch in this case to edit it. I like how the sketch makes every detail of each flower stand out.




The Tree Of Life

When adding a colour isn't enough.



And these are the A-1 'balloons' that I was talking about a while ago.





I need to find time to blow them before school starts, if not they'll try up. Speaking of these 'toys' that we used to play, I miss buying boxes and boxes of sparklers.





I remember the times when my brother and I would burn the walls along the corridors, with our names. Apparently we thought it was cool to leave our 'trademark'. Then there were the times where we broke off the bits of the substance, made a trail of it from out doorstep to some other place, ending it off with a huge amount of the mashed up bits scooped together. Then we'd take some dried leaves from my mum's potter plants, use our magnifying glass to shine the Sunlight on it. The moment the leaves get lighted, we'd throw them at the trail we made. Then we'd hide for cover just in case our neighbours were around. Seeing the final 'explosion' at the end of the trail made us so happy that nothing else could bring out mood down. But soon after, we'd get scolded for leaving burnt trails along our corridor.


But it was all worth it.



And what to end this post of with another item that made my day. Jujubes.




It's not found at Daiso unfortunately. They used to have it at 7-11 but now, they can only be found at those Chinese Medicine Stores. Just in case you're wondering what these are, they're actually candy! It's chewy candy in a form of a distorted teddy bear, with sugar sprinkled all over. And it's menthol flavoured, which means it's cool and refreshing! Hahah, I have no idea why I'm advertising it, but it is definitely a lovely sweet, one of my favourite.


And no, I'm not a smoker. Just because there's menthol in it, doesn't mean I smoke. Meet me some time, then I'll give you some.



I think I wanna start my own 'origami' videos soon. I might, if time is on my side!


Loves.

Back from the grave

I think it's been long enough since I've last blogged. I wouldn't want to sound idiotic and whine on and on about things. Let's just say, the reason why I didn't blog for a long time, was due to stressful times in Life. I'll leave the imagination to your guys.

Anyway, I'll "repay" the blog by actually posting two posts. Why? Because when started blogging, one aim for this blog was to have an update every week.

Fret not, the posts won't be a repetition because it would be utterly stupid to do so. It won't be rantings about my school work or teachers. Instead, I've found some interesting stuff to blog about.

But first, the "quizzes" from Shera's blog.

1st one: Random facts about me

Rules :

- each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves

I'll definitely not tag others to do it, because quizzes like this should be done for fun and not by "passing". And I'm tired to wreck my brains to think of 10 people.

- bloggers tagged need to write on their on blog about their ten things
and post the rules.

- at the end of your blog you need to choose 10 people you`re going
to tag and list their names.

- don't forget to comment on their site that they`re tagged.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)I think that Toe-socks are the best creation ever. I have no clue why I LOVE toe socks but they just make me feel "all fuzzy inside".

2)I HATE the colour PINK. Especially HOT PINK. But I love the Singer PINK.

3)I LOVE watching people get body piercings and I'm in LOVE with Thaipusam(Indian festivals) where people carry heavy kavadis by piercing metal rods through their body. I like watching the lion dance performances too.

4)I LOVE going to 'Toys R Us'. I love playing every single toy there, removing the toy baby's diapers, playing with the swords and machine guns.

5)I have a habit of twirling my pen between my fingers. I find it entertaining.

6)I have to stretch and "crack" my neck, elbows,finger,back,knee and toes before i head to school. This way, I wouldn't feel lethargic, but feel energized all day. My mum thinks it's gross and that my head,elbows,knees, toes and fingers would drop from my body one day.

7)I have so much junk food in my room that I can start my own "mama shop".

8)I have five black trash bags of soft toys. I used to be a lover of soft toys. There was once when I didn't want to go home unless my parents bought me the soft toy that i was hugging. Fortunately, they did. . My room and bed used to be filled with toys, leaving me with no space to sleep on my bed. But my dad started giving away my "precious" to his friend's kids. I'm left with only five bags now.

9)I think that I am a very stubborn ass and tend to not listen to people's advice if I feel that I am not in the wrong. But before you go around telling that "kethlyn's an ass", I'd like you to get to know me better and then judge instead of judging from other's opinions. No one is good enough to judge you if that person doesn't know you well enough.

10)I'm allergic to Panadol. hahah.
