M.I.A.N.I.B (missing in action now im back)

Sorry if I had readers that wonders why I suddenly went M.I.A for 3 months and if you don't read my blog anymore I'll totally understand.

You know how sometimes you feel so comfortable with doing nothing and start doing something is really a pain in the butt. I had been having weekly exams last three months and not to mention I had no time to sleep evenmore if you ask me to blog.

Here I shall announce my blog that it finally revived -  THANKS myspace pixel graphics  to Jillian which gave me some homework to do to get this award thingy which in fact I feel that I don't really deserve any. xP


*The Liebster Blog Award is given to upcoming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.
The Rules:1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves.2. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you plus create 11 questions for the people you've tagged to answer.3. Choose eleven people and link them in your post.4. Go to their page and tell them and no tag backs.

Here are the tag questions:

1. What is your favourite potato chips flavour and brand?
2. Are you currently studying/working/doing something what you love?

3. How many pets do you have?
4. What kind of people you despise?

10. What kind of eye colour do you wish to have?                                    11. What is failure to you and how will you overcome it? :)
Here are my answers to the tag:

1. What is your favourite potato chips flavour and brand?
 I would say my favourite potato chips is definitely this grain waves which is available in Australia. It has this healthier version of potato chips by using actually grains to make these chips even more crunchier. OMG I'm actually staring at my cupboard and can you imagine how many packs have I've consumed this year O.o I better not say. *shh*

The the flavour is definitely sour cream and chives for what-ever chips. I used to love pringles with this flavour since they dont have barbeque or sweet chilli but really it tasted so good. Not to mention it leaves quite a strong smell in your mouth so better brush after.



2. Are you currently studying / working / doing something you love?

 
I would say having my final year next year is really a terrifying thought when I think about it. Honestly this isnt my very first choice but I grew to slowly love what I do. If I can, I would open my small bakery right beside the place I work, that is the ideal dream. 




I know I can do it! Even toy animals can do that. =9

3. How many pets do you have?

The only pet I have is a dog. His name is snoopy which of course, you guessed it - a beagle. Snoopy the cartoon is a beagle too. And oh boy, I missed him. I can only see him once a year.





4. What kind of people do you despise?

I would say I don't normally despise anyone, but if I really really think about it, I think perhaps people that don't keep their promises. Promising to do something this minute and forget about it after, and worse if they ignore it when I reminded them. *pff- dont-do-this

5. Which will you choose, the person in front of the camera or behind the camera?

Behind the camera hell ya. Do you know how much effort and truth lies all behind the scene? In front of the camera 99% hides all the flaws that is normally present. If you want me to choose between these two, definitely having the know the person behind the camera.

6. What is your favourite pattern/symbol?

myspace pixel graphics
r.i.b.b.o.n.s~

7. Want to turn back time to change things?

I had done so much in the past but I would say what is done is already done. And you would need to learn from mistakes to have the knowledge to move forward. Without doing anything wrong you will never be this strong today. I thank God for me, here, now. No turning back! myspace pixel graphics

8. What do you first look physically on the opposite sex?

LOL to this question but truth is, I look at same sex more than opposite sex, does that mean I'm les? nope. I think many girls out there do the same. What for look at guys when girls are so much more interesting to look at - hair, clothes, shoes etc. Alright, back to the question. The very first thing I look at a random guy is that his style of dressing especially if he wears the nono's in my fashion-dictionary.

Socks with sandals? *eww


Jeans with flip-flops? *youmustbekiddin'me


Might even write a new post out of this no-nos and perhaps some tips for the guys that wants to look more fashionable? =D


Most interestingly, if you want me to really talk physical about guys; I would say I look at a guys arm. Hmm, but not really as in, I'm desperate to look out for guys but it's just a normal reaction at a first glance. *blush

9. Are you influenced by Eastern or Western culture?

I'm influenced by Eastern at home and Western now in Australia but I think all-in-all, deep down I know we have a better culture than they do in terms of no-sex-til-marriage, no-alcohol-til-you're-old-enough (as-in-not-so-young-compared-to-ahem), no names mentioned but you know it's true right?

10. What eye colour would you wish to have?

I want to have green eyes  =D

 Or blue?

Hmm, must start finding a husband with these eyes. *lol

11. Lastly, what is failure to you and how do you overcome it?

Failure for me is like when it suddenly hits you in the face and seems like tomorrow will never come. Failure creeps in when you start doubting yourself which might sometimes be the only reason of your failures. I would say believe that today is a day and tomorrow will come so live like you're going to overcome today! Learn from your mistakes and try to outsmart yourself by repeatedly saying, I will not do this stupid mistake again!

Thank you for reading all my lame answers but it may give you a deeper understanding about me.

♛ Keep calm and carry on ♛



 Even when waves get rough and sky come falling.
Stop when you feel most stress and smile when you feel most sad.
When you realized all of what you're feeling now is just this second.. Of thought.
Next time when you look back. It's all a joke or a lesson. That made you YOU today.

It's funny how I'm writing this post because I'm d*** angry about how facebook FORCES us to use timeline. How can I ever see who likes what and the lil comments that comes first and last. You can prioritize posts and I h*** it. How am I suppose to know what's the latest stuff in my friend's profile when he/she decides to put last week's post at the top? LEFT AND RIGHT - is so confusing. How to even know which comes first when top to bottom is the perfect way to go. I get all confused looking left to right diagonally then my eyes get all zigzagally (if there's even such word). Worse of all, profile cover? Now I've got extra work to make one for myself and update both profile picture and cover, hmm. I shall put this!



So predictable eyy?
I actually like the damnprofilecover.com word more than the "this timeline shit sucks". Sigh. Btw, it's really from google not my own made-up picture.

What do you think about the Pros and Cons of our new Facebook timeline? 
Or like there's even pros.


Right. KEEP CALM AND MOVE ON. =3=

no way i could ever get rid of it now

Shop till you drop

You know why tumblr is so IN these days? Everyone like posting up photos and not typing words. A picture speaks a thousand words? Yes, a thousand words that are not true because everyone interprets them wrongly unlike words.

Anyway, I still stick with blogging because its where my heart really spits out my mind.

Not to mention lately I've been splurging a lot on junk food. Grain waves chips, pringles, scones (is it even counted), chocolate :O (so not me) etcetc.

Thanks to michelle from Melb, she bought me my fav krispy kreme donuts. Half a dozen. OH NO. I'mfatimfatimfatimfatimfat.noyourenot.Yesyouare. Nevermindeat! Ohno. I'mfatimfatimfat! Sorry, I was talking to myself.

Glazed sugar coated donuts = heaven.



Current collection of junk food!

I skyped with my sister the other day and she was on a diet while I'm on a food marathon she was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...I was like..the picture..:)


Hmm, oh yea, what was I blogging about again. Ah yes, the title. 
I have been shopping (oh yes) because it's my easter holiday and I am desperate to enjoy.
Not to say I spend too much but just enough to use up all of my working allowance =P of April.

Hmm, these are some stuff that I've got. Beauty products to random s***. =)

1. My 21st Birthday dress. Will wear during my birthday this year. ;) Won't show you the back of the dress now because it's too pretty =D The price is.....*deng deng deng dengggg* 20 bucks. Not too bad because it's a very expensive brand and good material! I'll update you next time when I wear it (on my party post!)


2. I have been finding this kinda bag for so long :O The photo looks like its brown but it's actually peach colour. Got the same one with Charlene during our shopping trip. See the tag says it's 30 bucks but I got it for 5 bucks only! :) What a deal!

























3. The tie-up bodycon skirt with the colour I like. Turquoise. It's only 4 bucks! LOL. And branded too. 
Where to get this sort of stuff in Malaysia, RM12 so pretty and good quality?! Noooo way. 


4. The shampoo and conditioner that I've been eyeing on for a year now. Finally, I've got it. They're both from SASA hongkong because they had free shipping and these two cost me around $10 bucks after discount!  I'm talented at cheap offers aye? *You don't say* =p


5. Another lip cream that I bought from the website mainly because it was on the Vivi Mag on January this year and just so that this came across when I was online shopping - SASA so yea, bought this. I would recommend anyone with crack or dry lips and don't really like super oily creams on your lips - try this! :) I forgot how much it cost me thou. 


6. My current french manicure. Did it myself when I was bored yesterday. :) Not too bad. 


It looks oily because I applied this super good product that I've bought lately also.


It will make my nail colour stay and dry in seconds! Just as described on the back of the bottle.

Lovin' it!

7. Just bought a Hello Kitty Candy found by someone  in the famous Adelaide Sweet Shop.



FYI: I've actually ATE THE BODY! =O

And here comes the scary part.


THE EYE LEFT! I'm sorry, too hungry. Bleh. And sorry that I didn't focus on the eye.

8. And another hello kitty key chain added to my collection. Show you guys my collection when my HK wallpaper arrives in a few days.

Only cost me a few dollars.
I'm in love.

10. Last but not least, the most random thing ever. 


A decorating kit. To eat! 


11.  I almost forget this one. I bought it from SASA website also. There have been all good comments on how to make your leg calves thinner. And it really does work. Trust me.

Every night wearing it. Not only its warm and comfy for the cold weather and yet no exercise and you'll have thin legs! 

*Jillian- a comment on your latest post, who says you cannot have thin legs =D lol*


That's all folks. Thank you for reading!

A glass of plain water



A Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students:
“How much do you think this glass weighs?”
'50g!' ....
'100g!' ..... '125g'

..the students answered.
“I really don't know unless I weigh it,”
said the professor,
“but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this
for a few minutes?”

'Nothing' …..the students said.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student.
“You're right, now what would happen
if I held it for a day?”

Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis &
have to go to hospital for sure!”

… ventured another student
& all the students laughed …
“Very good, But during all this,
did the weight of the glass change?”

asked the professor.
‘No’…. Was the answer.
“Then what caused the arm ache &
the muscle stress?”

The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?”
asked professor again.
‘Put the glass down!’ said one of the students.
“Exactly!” said the professor.


Life's problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you.
You will not be able to do anything.


It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to ‘PUT THEM DOWN’
at the end of every day before you go to sleep.


That way, you are not stressed,
 you wake up every day fresh &
strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

Remember my friend …

'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

Relax, life is short. Live to the fullest / foolest :D !

Everything paid off well

Remember how stressed I was the previous post? Studying most of the time is really exhausting, especially when you've tests like almost every week; not one but two. =( Anyway, holiday is just another week away and I'm so pumped up for it!


Today was quite a satisfying day. Before I went to bed last night, I prayed to God hoping to pass the test today. Fair enough, I did, and yet He surprised me with such happy results without me even putting full effort in it. I've got lots of other things to focus on but still I went to church without fail every week because He is first in anything I do. I truly believe my vision is nothing compared to His.


I am grateful that he gave me the strength, determination and courage to wake up every morning to face all those new tasks waiting ahead of me. I will never give up my family nor relationship nor studies, work, friends and most importantly my Love.


Thank you again. Hallelujah!


Just left another paper that results is yet to be announced. I want to pass that too, in flying colours, with faith. And also DFD practical test coming up on Friday. Oh boy, please don't screw up Avril. I beg you!



. Haven't been sleeping very well lately. Too tired to even type another sentence

Have a good night!

Parent's love. Reminds me of grandma T^T

I need desserts because I'm stressed.

See, I'm now officially known as pimple girl because I have 2 pimples on my face. I normally don't have any =( It's true and people normally ask if I do facial and all that. The answer is nil nope no takda! Not on a daily basis. But I've done facial with my sister before (not to say I never done it) =P

Tomorrow is my dosage form design exam which consists of CALCULATIONS. The part which I suck at most. Hopefully I don't do stupid silly mistakes (like how I did all the time). Oh Lord, I need you to guide my brain to think and my hands to press the calculator correctly 

Anyone reading this now, pray for me tonight okay? I really want this exam to be a breeze for me.

And another pharmacotherapeutic coming up on Wednesday, however can't wait for the week after that because there's a two week holiday break! :

 

AND OF COURSE. I NEED DESSERTS TO REVERSE MY STRESSFUL TIME NOW!

 
 
 

GOSH. HOW I MISS THESE PLACES
