I met a Youtuber!!!

 I successfully survived another week, with the starting of clubs and activities, going up to another level handling both, and I can say I am starting to procrastinate a lot more academically already *oops*

On Monday we had a meeting with the Miri City Council regarding the project we will be running about LA21, a formal one which we get to know more about the current running projects so that we can brainstorm more and won't clash with the existing ones. (I won't tell you I skipped three consecutive lectures because of this ._. )

At Friday night we had a Welcome Home Program under AIESEC, which can be understood as a closing ceremony for the whole exchange program. I missed it last year as I was still in foundation and I'm not back to the campus yet, through this I actually did feel that my exchange program is much more completed. I had a great time listening to stories and experience shared <3

A family I really appreciate

 Owhhh and also did I mentioned I cut my bangs (?)
You probably can't tell since I don't dare to post it on social media 6.6
Funny thing was I posted a story on ig saying "Was thinking of cutting my bangs. Yay? Nay?"
That night I keep watching videos of cutting bangs on youtube and the next morning I took a deep breathe and did it, thinking it was a YOLO thing. lol.
I got a reply in 5mins after cutting my bangs, a reply from mum, saying "NAY." Too late mama, too late.
My mum always not like us sisters in bangs, but both Zoe and I did cut our bangs by ourselves, thinking since we are so far from home, mum can't say anything. #werebellionkids *tsktsk*

here's a post haircut selfie. YayNay?

That weekend we went to town, had great food and... spend money XD

Bought a lot of things adding that atmosphere in the room, including a long mirror which I always wanted. Goshhhh I was suffering not knowing how do I look in my clothes for countless semesters and now finally a mirror! (Cheers to more daily ootd shots)

thanks for jio-ing or I forever won't get myself a mirror

Luckily we did went out that day, coz guess who I met!!!

Malaysian Chinese will probably know him, and it's my first time meeting Youtuber in real life!

I was shopping in a small shop, and when I look up there's him! Walked away so I can remember to breathe, and gathered all my guts and walked up to him XD

After I asked and there was a few more people finally dare to walk up to him HAHA (thank me guys, YOU'RE WELCOME)

sry ugly face I was too exceited

Other than that was campus and home, meetings and training.

A morning which I met two cute cats on my way to class ...

... and a night with a cup of rose tea from my housemate.

Life goes on with two reports waiting me to finish, and a few chapters to catch up. 

...owhh and I just bought my flight tix back home for a two weeks break (which my birthday will be at home! YAY!)

Y1S2 started?!

After touching down midnight, reaching the empty house with dusts and boxes to unpack, I cleaned the floor and changed the bed sheets, had a good night sleep and left all the work days after.

First day in Miri I went to a five star hotel, with a great beach view and nice food for a seminar. The sunset was too pretty we spent some time taking pictures with the sun setting into the sea ... but it didn't last long LOL There was literally five guys staring at me when this picture was taken, waiting for me to go dinner. (Why can they never understand how important an instagrammable pic is?!)

We had a three course meal dinner with desserts like this, which I can't finish it all.. except the dessert XD

We then spent the next two days at BorneoTropicalRainforestResort which there's a lot of extreme activities for you to experience. It's more to like a 度假村 and our main transport was a train(?) pulled by a huge tractor. 

 It's a place with centipedes as huge and as long as Dom's foot.

An abseiling tower four floors tall that I can't fit it in a picture.

We spent two days doing activities such as building our own raft and rafted in the river (which half way collapsed and three of us needa swim back), doing the big swing (which LiYee slammed on the surface of the water and got a palm-huge bruise), challenging the postman walk (which I grabbed too tight and got blisters on my fingers) and also EATING GOOD FOOD (food there is REALLYYYY nice)

Got back with a tired body and bruises all around, we then spent the left two days having more seminars, all very useful and inspiring especially for the coming semester. Ended the whole week with a brief interview and a movie.

Didn't took much pictures the whole week as I was too indulged in everything, and also we had a videographer with us all time (video won't be out so soon, probably a few months later)

Spent the weekend tidying up the house after a very packed week, dealing with stuffs and house bullshits, including a few bulbs in the living room that won't work, a back door that sinks a little and can't be open since it was raining heavily, a leaking pipe that dances when spraying out high pressure water (and we have no choice but to close the pipe outside the house every single time), two stoves that we had no idea how to lit, a few friends running around freaking me out by just trying to say Hi to me(named cockroach and rat), a mirror in the bathroom that felt down and shattered into pieces as the holding part was not strong ... and the list goes on. The list probably ended with -Should I stick my posters in the room? and -In what way should I stick all the posters in my room?

Rewarded myself with a nice brunch time, and after all it felt good seeing my lovely room (which was also quite empty rn as I have no idea what to add in my room LOL) and spending quality morning and night times enjoying my ME time.

The semester starts quite lightly... WHO AM I JOKING.

 Just finished my math online quiz until midnight 2am last night after spending hours revising back what I learnt the whole last semester. A lot of brain cells were killed doing that, RIP. 

The first week haven't end and I already have two assignments due, with numbers of test that I lost count (not to mention the spot test that will suddenly pop out, out of nowhere)

... but well, I still can spend time writing here, so life is still okay HAHA

Despite all the pressure I tried my very best to ignore, not forgetting to spend some time to chill, telling myself it's Week1, and always remember to de-stress.

First try drip brewed coffee, with quality coffee powder which then filled the whole room with relaxing coffee aroma.

Second movie of the semester, LOGAN. 

Sitting on my left and right are huge fans which the one on my left hand side cursed out loud so much during the movie, I was first shocked, and the next second felt like digging a hole and bury myself. LOL.

Aaaaaaaand, we received our YNWA album yesterday!!!

We were not expecting it to reach so soon but goshhh it's already here! The quality of the album is no joke, with poster and a picture card which I got Jin's. 

This album means a lot to me (?) as SpringDay really got to my heart. I had a deep interpretation for SpringDay's MV and cried buckets becoz of it (do lemme know if u r curious abt it, I can make you cry XD)

Huge thanks to this one below!

Effortlessly started my semester with amazing memories!!! Looking forward for more <3

Rozu Quarteziiiii

I have this obsession for pink things recently, either the darker matte pink, or rose quartz (which is one of the color of the year for 2016... and also one of seventeen's color)

Yepp, say hi to my new rose gold acer laptop, dad gave it to me as a gift the day before I left to study, LOVE.

This picture was slightly bright, which was taken at about 5am in the morning after spending an hour to make the rose quartz and serenity.
Another pink obsession include this:-

Okay no.

I just spent the whole evening here at the airport, when its so hot that I sweat by just sitting, until now freezing while running, all about 5hours.
And yes, the day had come, time to go back to uni, time to face the reality, time for all the pressure.
Mom and Bii was at school and Dad was working so no one send me off at the airport today (sobs a little) which also means I woke up really early in the morning just to say goodbye to them together with endless hugs and kisses.

I can foresee that it'll be a very busy semester, which I hope I can quit slacking off and put all my efforts to make this semester a great one. If I update less here, I hope I'm really busy doing something meaningful.

Will be reaching at my place past midnight tonight *TT* and needa spend some time tidy up, followed by a whole week of whole day seminar. Hope this won't be a very long night so I can wake up on time early tmr.

Let's see how this semester will turn out, hope it's a one that I won't regret, and that's all I hope.

CNY '17

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR~!!!
I know it's late but ...ehemmm... it's not over yet =)

It's another long break here, since it was quite hectic before CNY preparing things for the festival, friends and relatives coming back so there was endless meetup. Although it was quite tired but surely a time filled with happiness.

This was before CNY we went to a cafe and had an amazing night singing on stage and chat whole night.

The day before ChorYat was super hectic, we went back to help grandma prepare then got home a while before going back to dinner. All K.O. on the way back home XD

Choryat toilet ootd

breakfast on car

us four siblings breakfast with grandma

when you are the eldest but shortest ._.

That night I went to my friends house just to pay a visit, then after dinner about 9pm we randomly decided to go to the nearest state, Perlis to visit our friends. It was a 1hour++ drive, we dropped by a few houses, chatted and then went for supper before heading back in the wee hours.

Always great to have this crazy bunch of friends

groupfie in the middle of the road because we can

And of course I met up with my primary school and high school friends too, usually both together coz the small town I stayed has only a primary and a secondary school, and we literally grew up together XD

the huge gang

small meet up before we went visit our teacher

Other than that there was a few days out meals and movies with the family, both mom and Bii were having a whole week school holiday so we got to spend lots of time together, staying at home being a couch potato watching random movies and varieties... I literally transformed into a stone from a worm ._.

There was also a few days during CNY I was suddenly sick, suffering from red eye and bad indigestion. Red eye was okay, it won;t do any pain just stopped wearing contact lenses a few days to prevent infections, but indigestion was a huge pain. I literally felt like my stomach stopped working for a few days and it all accumulated, can't really eat anything coz I kept puking, that feeling was like hell =/ Got better after the whole week, thank God I won't simply eat things anymore haha.

Lou Sang

This is another Chinese tradition. We went to have this after me getting better. 

I totally ate this for three times, with different people and places XD

Now CNY is over, starting the semester VERY SOON, I'm already pre-stressing the stress I'll be having, good luck and all the best!!!

Healthy JAN!

I sometimes love how the year started with a holiday, a long one like this, which I used to hate a lot.

I used to think that it is a waste of time, especially at the beginning of the year, and you're not doing anything, very unproductive.

But slowly I came to realize that only in this kind of holidays, you'll be doing what you want and what you like, and it's actually much more productive than just blindly rushing classes and assignments.

For me, I spent the last two weeks doing what I really want, focusing on my hobbies. Music, reading, cooking, exercise etc. (owhh also drama and anime XD)

The first accomplishment this year is I started to exercise daily and also eat clean. It actually started last year end, after I came back from all my vacations. Although I am quite sure that it won't be able to last the whole year, but at least right now I am doing it.

I'm visiting the gym at a daily basis right now, and everyday spending at least two hours there, focusing both on cardio and weight. I'm not aiming to slim down but just to stay healthy.

It usually start with about 15-20mins cardio, followed by 60-90mins of weight training, then ending it with 30-40mins cardio. I usually choose the treadmill for cardio, walking fast or sometimes jog. For weight I have my personal trainer which I used to visit about four years ago. Stomach will be focused everytime, while back+elbow and leg will take turns.

It's actually very hard to maintain, going to the gym at a daily basis, especially you have sore legs sore arms even getting down the bed is a pain, some more to the gym @.@ 

Also when you're training, all thoughts come into mind. "Why am I doing this?", "What am I doing here?" and that can't be more normal at first, especially lifting those weights doing that routine and time seems to pass SO SLOW!

But trust me, day by day, exercising will become a daily part of your life, and missing one day make you feel so empty and guilty. Until that day you do it like you eat and sleep, hang in there!

Okay now to the eating part!

More protein, vege, fruits, fibre. Less carbs and oil. Simple but so hard.

Breakfast can be soy with bread, eggs and fruits.

this is yummehhhh

Lunch can be normal, more grass aka vege. Homecook will be better.

Dinner try to keep it as simple. Fruits and maybe some biscuits (low sodium high fibre kind)

DO NOT SKIP A SINGLE MEAL. We are human beings that need food, no skipping.

Exercising daily might be hard, eating clean would be even harder. Try to avoid outside food and big meals, which is very hard. 

So far I haven't have a single cheat day yet. YAY. Which I think will be today since it's Bii's birthday HAHA.

Anyway, no matter doing anything, enjoying is the most important.

It started off with a black out

2017! It's a new year!!!

People have plans and goals to reach, it's a new start!!!

Me? Owhhh I blacked out on the first day of 2017. Yepp.

I didn't expect this as my health was quite okay for the past few years, I collapsed in front of the crowds in public after feeling a bit dizzy. I was considered quite lucky as there was someone who grabbed me and I didn't knocked on anything. 

This was my third time (?) fainting for the same reason, it's always unexpected, but no big deal.

Goshhh, you won't know how paiseh it is when you wake up after that, with eyes locked on you and everyone giving you that weirdo glare (perasan onot i dunno)  

I have to say my health condition was like a roller coaster drop when it enters 2017. VERY SCARY.

First day I fainted and followed by a few days ear block (?) until today. 

It felt like having high pressure on the ear drum and sometimes it's so worse that it hurts. I can barely hear any, not even myself talking, which makes me in a VERY wobbly emotion. #emotionallyVERYunstable

Until today I'm still taking pills applying this an that (which I don't even know will it work), things haven't get better and finger crossed in won't get worse.

I can't go anywhere else, imagining losing my ear sight somewhere else I don't know (okay I know I'm scaring myself) but right now I'm just being very careful. VERY CAREFUL.

My daily routine will be like: Going out with grandma in the morning, help out at Dad's shop, go home with Mum after she finished school, enjoy some self time, exercise, help Bii on her study, sleep.

I am very careful with everything I eat, because I was thinking this ear problem might be because of the seafood allergy (oops!) and there was this scenario that we all went out to a fancy restaurant and what I had was tea (and some grass aka vege ._.)

So far it's already one week into 2017, finished a few novels, some anime (natsume!), some korean dramas. Loving life right now, just hoping things will get better.

Hello 2017!

Blinks... blinks... and blinks...

Tbh I'm so not ready for 2017, I felt so unprepared, stepping into another new year.
Or in another way to say, I have no feelings for this new year.
I'm turning 20 soon this year, and this thought didn't even fear me, not even a little. I forgot since when, I embraced the thought that age is just a number and nothing else, I learnt to appreciate every single chapter of my life, and not to just rush through it. Hope that I can always keep this in mind.

I spent the last night of 2016, watching NHK then Johnny's countdown, as usual, missing those days sitting in front of the computer in the dark with Zoe watching countdown a few years ago. Now we're miles away, but still doing the same thing. Physically not together but heart, always.

Looking back my 2016 resolutions, I've achieved more than I expected. I felt so touched to the people I met and the chances I was granted, will definitely work even harder to pay it off!!!
