One last ride

One last ride

Furious 7 almost certainly won’t be the last Fast and Furious movie. But at times it feels like the series’ farewell. at first, I thought the director would kill his character somewhere in the scene but i was wrong =.='' With the help of CGI and Paul's brothers Cody and Caleb Walker they were able to finish the movie and fill in the gaps that Paul had not yet finished. Paul would be very proud of the outcome ;)

It was so touching  at the end of the movie whereby they flashback the scenes of Paul and set a proper farewell for him. There are numerous callbacks and homage to the franchise’s entire 15-year history.  It’s impossible to watch these moments and not think about Paul Walker, who tragically died in a car crash in November 2013 before production had wrapped. Even though Furious 7 delivers the franchise’s requisite thrills, Walker’s real-life fate is never too far from the surface. Even though Walker is still present, his absence is already felt. It is strange to watch a movie that is this much fun and this sad all at the same time. The soundtrack for the Fast and Furious 7 by Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth '' See You Again'' by far my favorite song =)

well, I have to thank for the creator of this new technology for making Paul alive in this movie again=) he looks super Paul alike!

Aging

Aging~~~

Chilling and drinking sessions in bars or pubs are my hangout nowadays. Well its not very often as last time too as i am lazy to step out from the house!! so pathetically lazy right!! I used to go clubbing quite often last time which is just one year ago! i always on the go when friends ask me to. *kinda addicted to it. i still remember i skipped lunch break just to nap after all the consecutive clubbing while i was working as part timer in Genting..lol.. Hahaha I love going to clubs  just to dress up, make up, drink and hit the dance floor like you own it and of course to get some attention from guys around you! hahaha so lame, but i guess some girls thinking the same too. So whenever my friends call and ask me to go for a chill out session I will just reject their invitation lol. I personally think it’s really boring to just drink,chill and chit chat… When you’re young you want get wild* like eat sleep party and repeat!

But now… Things have changed hahaha. The last time i went to ZOUK was probably last year around August. I felt so left coz i can't blend with the rest coz i used to my kaki clubbing which is now thinking the same too " AHH... IM GETTING OLD,CANT CLUBBING D" and I refused to drink because I get drunk easily after a long break of no alcohol and i scared nobody take care of me when im drunk, worry that i can't drive back home;( The problem of getting drunk is that i will throw up and sleep without removing any make up until im sober around 7am in the morning to remove it and shower then continue to sleep without lunch. It is so bad for skin, digestion and i got sore throat the next day><

Another thing is obviously beauty sleep. I used to sleep late in the morning 4-7am or no need to sleep at all and just straight to my morning classes. But now i can't do it anymore. Whenever i have not enough sleep, the feeling is like i'm going to die soon. * BATTERY LOW lol..This is what’s happening to my life now. I get tired or sleepy when the clock strikes 1am T__T * still not so aging yet hehe.. If I sleep at 2am-4am, the next day I will wake up at 12pm and still lazy on the bed and still feels sleepy.

hmmm... is it a symptom of aging?

I wish that I could be like the cool kids

Sometimes, will you ever feel envy to those kids nowadays? I always think kids nowadays are super duper lucky as they own branded stuff not before they even born. The clothes they wear, I’ve seen some babies wearing KENZO! I mean seriously? Adult KENZO t shirt would have cost at least above RM500! I have seen a lot as I’ve been following my bf for his friend’s baby fullmoon party, birthday party etc, they are wearing GAP, ZARA, BABY G watch and tones of toys at home etc.. *yup, this is what happen when dating an older bf where all his friends were married and have kids. I know every parents wants the best for their kids, I would say if my parents can afford such life, they would have give me that life too. Unfortunately, im not from a rich family and I have to work my ass off to get one myself and pay my own college fees. But im still proud to be their daughter to brought me to life even life is hard, everything is money as I am not the only child, good family environment, provide education, care and love. Well, we must be grateful as there are many unfortunate people out there that are a lot worst than us.

The thing that I will never understand is that to what extend do you spoil your child? I saw lot of young girls which are younger than me carrying limited edition branded bags like limited Chanel Boys and etc. How can such young girls can afford such expensive bag? It’s not like RM7k-8k, we are talking about RM14k-20k per bag! That amount of money already can pay at least 2 semesters of my college fees!

I know some of them are from rich families but all of them?? But I would like to know if there are parents who really buy those branded bags for them? Ahem, even my bf that could afford one, he wouldn’t buy me one, he said I’m only in my 20s, if I’m carrying a Chanel now, what would I’ve been carrying in my 30s? Hermes? It would be too spoilt to have those in such a young age!

Okie… its just out of my curiosity.. that’s all..

Also, kids nowadays are carrying an iPad or iPhone with them. It’s the latest edition OK.. iphone 6 and  6 plus, while I am still using iphone 5s. Well, I don’t really care about gadget that much as I’m not a technology savvy kinda person, but I still remember last time I feel kinda isolated because my friends were all having a mobile phone, my brother pitied me and bought a sim card for me using his old worn phone. Since then, I use his phone until I decided to buy a new phone from my part time salary. Too bad, I lost it while I’m working in Genting. Ever since then, I never bought any new phones anymore. Now I’m using my brother’s iphone.* yup,my only brother=)

My sister once told me, “You have to work harder to get what you want rather than sit here and envy other people’s life”. So, I worked hard to earn the money, and now this is where I got my comfort life, not there yet but I can pay my college bills, spending expenses without thinking I have no enough money to spend, I don’t have to ask people money especially my family. I struggled last time, but I’m a happy kid now=)

# I WISH THAT I COULD BE LIKE A COOL KIDS

If you want to be the one, WORK FOR IT!

Manners Maketh MAN

While I was having dinner with friends, this topic came up to me as my friends are going to Europe for a holiday and was planning on what to buy. Of course it would be those luxurious brands. Well people would rather buy in Europe as it is cheaper compared to Malaysia! Besides that, they were saying chinese from China were the tourist spot in Europe and they buy A LOT!

Here’s the thing…

Luxury is a necessity in mainland China and motivations are based on functional utilities. It is true that Chinese from China has a powerful demand on luxurious item as they have the money to spend. Sociologists suggest that an increase in social capital boosts people make self-distinction. China has a big social class gap between the rich and poor. Rich people tend to be super rich while the poor are super poor. After the implementation of opening and reform policies in 1978, China’s economy moved from being centrally planned to market-oriented. Private sector began to flourish. People had different rates of increase of social capital, such as personal wealth, education resources and family resources. The needs of social distinction change social structures from a flat equal system to a vertical distinctive system. One of the ways to differentiate oneself in society was through luxury consumption for its rareness and superiority. However, sorry to say that majority of the Chinese are rude, just not because they are born like that but they are not being taught to be courteous.

While I was scrolling on Facebook, this article from bbc.com about social etiquette came to my attention and how it has become a STATUS SYMBOL. So now, even though you own a designer bags, fancy watches, jewellery, cars etc, all of that don’t matter anymore( perhaps we still need a few as self reward or self accomplishment) but it's now all about how you behave!

The article was about how China people behave. My friends visited China before and he said it was normal to talk loud in the public. So, they acted like a Chinese gangster-like throughout the holiday trip shouting in the mall like nobody’s business.. lol.. Nobody would ever think you’re psychotic. Fyi, if u acted like a very civil person, those local Chinese will bully you as an outsiders. Another thing is mostly all of them having a luxury item on hand. Can u imagine, the basic sales promoter in mall carrying an LV? For them, they would save months to own one. (*die die also need one) But yet, I wouldn’t confirm whether it’s authentic or not but still they are using luxurious brand as a status symbol. For a girl like me, I would have think an average class people carrying an LV, what about those rich ones. They would have opt for Hermes! Even in KL, I saw some carrying a Hermes already.

But here’s the thing, good manners plays an important role. If you don’t have manners, it would ruin your image and reputation even though you’re carrying a Hermes.  People would think that, that luxurious brand that you’re carrying doesn’t suit your attitude at all.

          # MANNERS MAKETH MAN -Harry-

‘MANNERS  MAKETH MAN’ which got me inspired from the Kingsman movie *btw great movie. In China, there are now classes that teaches you how to behave well to help improve your business, especially for the nouveau riche,  or to prepare you for holidays overseas so that you won't embarrass yourself for being rude inside the luxurious shops like pasar malam. They will teach you about how to raise your children, proper table manners on how to sit, how low can you bend, how not to break the wine glass if you are about to make a speech and how to pronounce luxury brands so that you won't embarrass yourself. Yes, I must learn to pronounce it right too, not only those Chinese. I myself think that, we must learn more and upgrade ourselves from time to time. There many to learn, including things like which fork to use for which food *especially fine dining where I always mistakenly use the wrong one! There would be 3 forks if not mistaken and spoons and all are for different type of food.

It is great that China now has this kind of class, to help educate people about manners. I hope Malaysia would come up with this concept too as not everybody knows which forks and knife to use during fine dining as they come in a few sizes! *typical Malaysian, just joking=)

Life 101: Enjoy your uni life while you still can :)

Life 101: Enjoy your uni life while still can

As you go through uni years, everything become upside down with piles of assignment after assignment, exams after exams, party after party. Everything last minute:/ But at the end of the day, we still live life to the fullest and enjoy uni life while we still can:)
 
Before you know it you are transitioning out of that chapter of life, awesome memories and friends for life are still stay deep inside your heart... However it won’t take you long for it to hit you, that although uni has given you the accreditation to start earning money, it did not prepare you to deal with the rest of the excitement life will throw your way. 

Just like what my friends have making a fuss about it that they wish they were still studying without all the working headaches...

To be honest, I missed my uni friends a lot.. Deep inside, I still remember how we used to hangout during break times between classes.. We watched movies, talk crap, gossip, did last minute assignments together even we had to burn our midnight oil and etc... After I differ some courses, I'm way back behind them:( Now i am really felt the loneliness without them.. Mixing with the juniors really makes me feel old:( YES, oldest in the class:/

Besides that, after graduating from uni, it will be lesser and lesser time to meet up with each other due to time constrain.. Some might be busy with work etc, only some occasion that we make up our time to meet up such as birthday meet up..

Just last week, me and my friends managed to meet up! Like AT LAST!!! Many comments came out like WAH, you getting slimmer d, what's your secret?!!, WAH, your hair grow so long d!, who is your new BF huh??!!*sarcastic way etc etc.. Endless of chit chat and all... It's really a good catch up.. I really love it very much especially our long awaiting karaoke and spa session AND HOLIDAY TRIP TOGETHER!*planning still in progress. I really hope everyone of us could make time for it.. 

So yeah...

#TRUE FRIENDSHIP ISN'T BEING INSEPARABLE, IT'S BEING SEPARATED, AND NOTHING CHANGES :)
 


Bonding time with long lost friends

Wednesday no blue! It has been a long time since I hang out with my girl friends. Last Wednesday, me and my friends has decided to have our own girlies time in Feugo, Troika sky dining. It was a chilling place with a semi-outdoor dining facing the beautiful KL Twin tower.

us with beautiful background *perhaps beat Marinis

Service-wise, Troika Sky Dining is one of the best,people there were very friendly and helpful. Upon reaching I was ushered to our table where my friends were waiting. We also took a lot of pictures before KL Twin Tower's light shutdown. #girlsbeinggirls The place is actually a residential area so it closes early around 12.30am. The atmosphere is cooling as it is open air and I notice there was a lot of foreigner hangout out there. *perhaps you can find ur future mate if you're still single.. Lol

a lot of foreigners *ahem,..ang mo

We had a good chat and laughter and of course we won't missed out out gossip *secret. It has been a long time since everybody is busy with their working life.. It is very hard to to gather together when our schedule is not fixed. One of my friend is a flight attendance in MAS. So ahemmm... It is always a time we ask her to buy something she she fly to certain destination.. How good to have flight attendance as friends, right?!! Of course I'm got to pay her back, but the advantage of it is that u can own your desired product with a more reasonable price compared with local Malaysia price and some products that can't be found in Malaysia. It saves me a lot of $$$ in purchasing branded stuff!

Overall, it was a fun date and I hope it happens more often in the future! :)

 mandatory mirror selfie=)

Post CNY Fever

Time passes really fast!! No more holidays for me=( I miss those food, yamcha session  with friends, gatherings, and of course some gambling session..HAHAHA * I’m not a gambler but just once in a while. AND I discover a new food in town (Taiping of course)

TaaDaa… Roti pizza!!! Roti canai ala pizza. Fyi, it exist for quite a long time but now only I have a chance to eat it as I’m not going back that often. It is surprisingly yummy and you have to call to book half an hour earlier. It is crazy because I never ever queue for food in Taiping! I thought it queuing for food only exist in KL. HAHAHA

After teatime, it is normal or it’s a ritual Taiping people will be hanging out in Lake Garden have some evening walk. Have you heard of Taiping Lake Garden? I am very proud that I’m born in a small town with one of the nicest lake in Malaysia with its iconic hundreds of years old angsana tree covering along the road.

It is a very nice cozy place to visit and have a picnic as those angsana trees are big enough to act as a sun shield so you won’t feel hot. It is a recreational park where people do exercise and taichi in the morning and evening. Not only that, the lake has other use that is for St. Valentine's day. Yes! You hear me right, St.Valentine’s Day is usually some Chinese ritual thingy regarded as the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day practices in Malaysia and Singapore(mainly). On that day, single women would write their phone number on the oranges and throw them in the lake. * call me maybe LOL. Single men then will try to collect as many oranges as possible and eat them. It is said that when men eat oranges, the taste will give them an indication of their possible love! Sweet represents a sweet and joyous love, while sour means a bad fate. But I never see men eating it..haha… That’s what people say. So, believe it or not, it’s totally up to you.

Okie, enough of the oranges, let’s see a few shots of me hanging out in lake garden * Thumbs up =)

jumping shot, anyone??

laughter is the key of happiness=)

whether old or young, they are hanging out here

you can even take a nice #ootd too =)

People fall in love in a mysterious ways

It's the time of love again. How were your Valentine's day? Whether you're single, in a relationship or somewhere in between, we all have an idea of what we expect on Valentine's Day. We hate to admit it, but our expectations are usually far way different from the reality of how V-Day really goes down. BUT isn't it everyday  a Valentine's day?? V-Day is just a day we set to be remembered anyway. For me, I would love to have an impromptu date, receive flowers on a random day etc rather than celebrate only when there are special day purposes. It is not necessarily must be celebrated in in fancy restaurant, with surprises, flowers and presents.The little thing that you did add extra points even though there are none of these. A simple dinner at home with handmade card will do.

 LOVE, is a powerful strong word. It comes in different forms and the way people receive or give varies individually. To me, mutual connected feelings make me feel loved. That feeling provides you the security which you know that person would never ever let you go no matter what. That affection without limitations allows you to be comfortable with yourself without hiding your flaws, your weakness and still want to be with you and love you with all your worse parts. Even if you're not a very wifey material (* can't cook, LOL) or hubby material.

Love is all about gie and take, to inspire and grow together. When two people are together, they share their dreams and hopes. They want each other to be part of their life to get inspired and grow together along their journey. However, there will be always a challenge awaiting when one could never catch up with another pace, and they start to draw apart. Compromise is the key! You feel loved when your partner are willing to accommodate with you to walk at the same pace, or even inspire you to do more, to do better in your life. He sees you in a way no one else would have, truly understand what you really want in life.

I’m lucky to have someone by my side that support me all these while and all the wonderful people around me especially my parents. During the month of love,don't only think about yourself but people around you as well. I wish you all to have a wonderful romantic night with your loved ones. 

Overloaded clothes from shopping? Sell them!

I always attracted to buying things online especially bags and clothing. I do even shop for skincare products online! I think it is convenient and i like to browse pictures. But i do background checking before purchase so i don't get cheated.

Recently, I downloaded an app called Duriana that works as a site for people to post and sell their pre-loved item and do shopping at the same time. How good is that. I actually known this app for some time but never bother to try it out until i realize my closet was pack with unwanted clothes which i don't want to wear anymore and some are still new with price tag on it=(  So i decided to have a try and sell my pre-loved there.

Suprisingly, it works! I sold a bag. I am so excited as this was my first business deal ever! Now here's how Duriana works. Duriana is a new mobile marketplace for all things beautiful, discover, buy and sell using phone. As easy as that! It lets you discover amazing products for sale all around you , from your friends & neighbors, trendy blogshops or cool local shops you have yet to discover. Find great fashion, vintage items or beautiful handmade pieces.

We all sometimes buy something we never use, or get the wrong size, or receive a gift that's not quite our thing. Well,  don’t let those beautiful items go to waste, share the love with the duriana community and can earn some pocket money :) It is just like set up your e-commerce shop in less then a minute with a mobile and website that seamlessly enhance your e-commerce presence. It's FREE!

Time is NOW

Time passes very fast nowadays. I don't know why but perhaps I'm getting old? 24 hours a day seems not enough to spend! Chinese New Year is around the corner, assignments due date is coming nearer and I've been thinking about how much I've done this year. Had a little conversation with the girls today and to think about how much I had gone through, I'm glad I AM STILL ALIVE! lol

I always have this little habit where sometime before I sleep, I tend to think about life, what am i going to do next after i graduate, and what i've done throughout my life, what incident that i regret the most etc.

A quote  "People often think about their future, but the forget if they'll survive tomorrow." which hits me pretty hard. Like what usual parents say, you have to do this this this, so you can have a better future. It is true, thinking about your future is a good thing but I often think that enjoying the moment is as important as the future. I used to think money is important, so i did part time job at night and i went to class the next day in the morning. It is very tiring, i didn't have enough time to hang out with friends and enjoy college life like other students. I felt being left out. By the way, I am quity stingy in someway..lol My friends would always ask me to chill and spend some money =.=''  It's reasonable too as you earn that money that are meant to spend anyway.

You can have all the future or the money you want, but always give appreciation whenever you can, whenever you have the chance to, cuz the only thing you do not want to lose is the moment, the chance, the time you could have.  

Most people say, enjoy ur life while you can. Time won't reverse the moment for you. So, now I's going to enjoy my college life and relax before i step into the real reality working life =)

Health Vs Wealth

Many people know the important of health but not everyone is willing to change their lifestyles, especially their eating preferences and start to exercise. For me, im a couch potato. I can sit on the couch snacking and watch drama the whole day,skip dinner and ended up having supper. Now i felt my digestion system is getting bad =(

I am trying to eat as regularly as possible, eat more fruits and veges and spend more time to exercise, well perhaps have a walk with my dog together every other day.

Health  is  the  most  important asset of our life because  in  some  cases  no  matter  how  rich  you  are,  you  can't  buy life. Many people neglect about perfect health because they are preoccupied with other things they think are  more important such as earn as much money possible in order to have a luxurious life. In facts, without health, we would not enjoy wealth at all.

In my opinion, I strongly agree that health is more important than wealth. Therefore, it is better to start taking care of our health before it’s too late. This affects me when what happened to my grandma three years ago after having kidney failure, my family are putting health as a priority.

Lifestyle affecting our health.

Bad Lifestyle = Bad Health

Trust me, having a  healthy diet, doing regular  exercise, not smoking  and not drinking  too much alcohol can help you stay well and enjoy a long life. You’re never too young or too old to switch to a healthier lifestyle.

Dogs are Man's Best Friends

I have a pet at home which is a Shih Tzu, her name is Belle. I randomly wanted a pet three years ago where i accidentally stumble upon a very cute puppy for sale on Facebook. It was love at first sight. *  I WANT HER VERY MUCH and i bought it =)

The respond from people around me before i bought the puppy were not so encouraging because they said that having a pet is a huge commitment and money concern for a college girl like me. Everything must be consider such as to train the puppy to discipline, pee and poop, teach tricks, spend times walking her around the park, make sure she eats well and grow healthily with regular vaccination and etc. I believe i can handle her just fine so i bought it. I've always wanted a pet of my own and my dream came true=)

Now, she's almost four year old and she's still like a dear puppy to me who sticks with me all the time ask me for belly rub, welcome you at the door when you're back home and all. She always enlighten my mood whenever i have a bad or sad day.

Dogs are man's best friend.Dogs. There’s a reason we call them man’s best friend. We can learn so many things from a dog’s behavior, personality,and the willingness to provide their family members with unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship down to their very last breath.

Dog doesn’t judge you, he doesn’t care how you dressed or no matter the situation, your dog is happy to see you and greeted you from all his heart in front of the door. You are greeted with the same enthusiasm each and every time you walk in that door. If you are too busy with works and slightly ignore them, they don't hold grudges on you=)

 A dog is handing out pure love, sparing no expense, and asking absolutely nothing in return but love from you, NOTHING ELSE MATTER. You'll never lonely when there’s a dog around. When I need a good laugh or some therapy, I'll always have my dog around. 

Cheers x

Plastic Surgery? Good or Bad?

Facebook is part of a platform to mingle around with friends, as information provider, sharing information and etc. Whenever I scroll on Facebook, there will be posts about pretty girls that were being compared before and after comparison, analyzing their face and body features. There you are, critics everywhere.

 " HATERS GONNA HATE". But what is wrong with plastic surgery?? People have their own reason for it,right?

For me, improving our self-image with plastic surgery is one of the benefit to self-boost our confidence because if we are not satisfied with our own skin, we tend to be self-conscious, inhibited, and less effective in activities. For example, you like a guy *handsome and charismatic BUT you don't have a presentable look that make you think you are not compatible with him which leads you to give up without even trying. As each of us has a "self-image," a perception of how we believe we look to others is important whether you are going for an interview, we must look presentable, at least with some make up on so you don't look like you're just wake up from sleep without shower. 

Plastic surgery whether cosmetic or reconstructive encourages and promotes a strong, positive self-image. Even a small change on the outside can create an extraordinary change on the inside, allowing a boost of  self-confidence.

However, there are always a limit to whatever we do, same goes to plastic surgery. Plastic surgery may be addictive because human are greedy, maybe we did for the first time to enhance our eyes, second time maybe we do a nose job and eventually doing repeated surgeries until it becomes out of control. It is a very bad idea as we will never fix it anymore. So, one thing to be consider is that we don't overdo things until it becomes worst.

In the end of the day, it is still up to us to decide whether plastic surgery is a good or bad thing because everyone might have a different perception. We shouldn't judge people unless we step into their shoes and walk their life they had lived.
