home at last

"ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain. We have arrived Kuching International Airport. Thank you for flying with us and we hope to see you all again."

*looks outside the plane window*
Finally.... though it has only been 3 months so far that I've been away from home since I started uni, I've missed being home so badly. To be honest, it's the comfort that I really miss but somehow everytime I get back, I get so busy, going out and all that I have so little time to enjoy the comfort as much. However, this holiday, I make it a point that I do something new - something different.

I baked!



I hiked!


One of the things that I love about my little hometown..

You get a beautiful scenery especially when during a long-distance drive. Early morning is best because then, you get to see the sunrise amidst the misty, cool air. And of course, there's also view of the mountain. I've always thought that just by looking at the mountain is breathtaking enough but climbing up a mountain and actually being up the summit is even better. Yes, it's a lot of hardwork to climb all the way up there which can take about an hour plus or more depending which mountain but worth it, in the end. 

I AM PROUD TO SAY I CLIMBED UP WITHIN 45 MINUTES!best personal record!
hee

I have roughly 3 days left here. And, I still have so much to do on my list.

Men in Black. Have you watched it?



Right after exams, my friends and I went to watch MIB!! whoots whoots!! It was my first time being at Jcube AND to the movie theatre. [I'm a happy kid!]

It's finally my sem break now but how I wish classes would start already. On the contrary, when classes are on, I'd wish it's a holiday. HUMANS. We all wish for things that we don't have. ;)


Anyway, MIB was fantabulouso!! Super hilarious. Now, for those who have not watch it, don't worry i'm not going to spoil it for you. hee.. I'm stuck with pitbull's song 'Back in Time'.
If there's one thing I learned from the movie, it would be that "...in times when you can't solve something, have a pie.."-Agent K

Lovin' Will smith. He's such a good and versatile actor. IF someday I could meet him in person, I would so totally ask him to go out for a drink or something. BIG DREAM, i know. hehe.

take risks. have confidence.


Take chances where there are opportunity and chances are that one or two people will take notice.

They say, "move forward and never look back."

But, some days . . .you really need to look back - look at what you've accomplished, friends you have made, lessons you have learned, times when you fell and got up stronger, places you have been and think to yourself, just how far and perhaps, how good you have survived your everyday.

... then maybe you could be even more grateful for everything and go through a better future ahead, ya know? 





small bites about singapore #3

This was quite a while back but it's some of these things that made me intrigued with the arts and well, food at the same time. A friend of mine brought me to this place called, 'Red Dot Museum'.

Apparently, one friday night a month, they have an event going on 'MAAD' which is a free-entry event for the public whereby local designers showcase their artworks from little cupcakes to bags and recycled trash into beautifully weaved items. This trip was quite an experience for me because it really did inspire me to make use of those little things which other people will throw out but of which I'd usually keep but don't know what to do with it. [Most of the time, I'd use it to make my 'homemade' gift cards and notebooks which I'll write about it in another post sometime soon, hopefully.]

During the event, they even had local band playing, which I'd recommend to you all BUT I wasn't sure what band it was. :X THEREFORE, if you're around Maxwell Road, from Tanjong Pagar MRT, do drop by the museum to find out more. Worth a trip! Just a tip, look up on days that they are open and the time! or even any upcoming events, given in the link below this post.




singlish, anyone?

not stress, just anxious

I guess it's been a while since I actually have the momentum of studying day by day to prepare for exams which includes the joy of waking up early and sleeping late.(no kidding.) As what I've learnt back when I studied psychology, my CIRCADIAN RHYTHM is totally off.


It was super embarassing when i walked out of my room without realising I was not wearing both my slippers. :X my roommie laughed at me.
As a reminder to myself, "SLEEP EARLY! WAKE UP EARLY. save yourself some embarassing moments that could happen."
BUT, I can honestly say that college days trained me good.. in terms of finishing up assignments on time and preparing for exams within such short period. I really do miss college days.

"start by struggling, then in time, you'll find it easier..."





FUN FACT: Did you know? Midnight is the most crucial hour for your body to sleep because it fully repairs itself during that time.

bad hair days



So here's the story. . .,
One of the days before class, i decided to wake up early but my hair was in super mess. I was a sad child. Then, suddenly, *DING* i got an idea! And as you can see in the picture above, I ended up styling my hair with half bun and ponytail. I thought it's look weird but it turned out okay. (i think)
le plaits!

...and one of the days, i tried to plait my own hair and for the first time ever, i did it!! not too shabbyy ;)
All these while, I've been wondering how do people plait their hair from top to bottom without looking at it and now i know!

The end.

Quite an achievement for me, i must say. teehee

Tata!
