A Life Turnover

I am not going to lie but it is so true that as we grow older, we experience more ,sometimes we fail but we learn more. 

I am the last child of the family. 

When I was younger, I tend to treat most things like bleh... don't give a damn about many things (eg grades, work, personal duties ) unless I am up for it, passionate about it, being pushed to or just to fulfil ' them '. I am proud enough to say that I am not rebellious and I usually am responsible in the things I do. ( Except certain things .. really depending on the situation lol ) Well calculating from the percentage view, maybe 70% I've done well.. lol ( that is not bad already okay for a growing young teenager ) I could say that some of my supposed to be independent stuffs are usually taken care of by my parents. I am not spoiled but because I am just young duh...  Don't judge me because I've seen worst. lol 

Getting out of high school was a turnaround for me. Not exactly right away but it took about half a year plus. I've learn so much during my first semester. Not exactly through my subjects but the people I deal with. My dad especially, I have encountered 101 lectures from him (probably more lectured than my lecturer's ever gave ) for not being as independent as I should be now at this age and of course, dealing with other humans. 

After my finals vice versa my 2 beautiful months of sem break, I am absolutely positive that was the one big turnaround I had recently. God knows how in the world , maybe hormones or whatever I don't know I just left all the childishness in me behind as memories and promise myself to never repeat them again. My mindset wasn't the only thing that changed but also my whole sense of style. I am very sure that I dyed my hair pink before this outbreak lol. 

I started clipping up my hair and started living without the cutesy little girl bangs. (Partially was because this pink hair really doesn't suit bangs much ) I also started changing my style of dressing , in the sense that I avoid wearing lala little girl clothes. And yes, trying to loose weight but just got fit and gained muscles .. lol . 

Come to think of it, I think the whole turn over started after a week when I dyed my pink hair.

Anyway, I started looking towards my future more than ever. I'm not talking about my studies and career only but also in relationship wise and decisions making. So many things inspired me to be more responsible in my own life. All the life events, news, testimonies and just casual talks with my youths and pastors really impacted me for a change.

In relationship wise, my dad once told me ( Okay fine, he just casually told me just a few months ago ) that I should only start getting in any relationship at the age of 21. To be honest 21 doesn't sound pretty nice for today's generations but come to think of it, I actually do not mind. What rush do I have in a need of a  boyfriend? For fame, for status? Obviously No lol. In fact this makes me have more time to search for the Mr Right, at least in 3 more years time. I shall make more friends during this period of time ! : ) * SEMANGAT * 

But seriously, I have no idea in my right mind that the kind of guy I would want to ever be with would ever cross my mind. 

This was it: HE must be financially stable. ( Okay I was joking..lol .. but not entirely. ) As long as he knows his future, what he aims for, and that his future will be stable and is able to support himself, myself and yada yada. 

HE should know his priority. He knows what is right and what is wrong. Obviously mature when it comes to serious business. 

HE should have a passion for God. I definitely not implying that he should be the holy, priest, hallelujah kind of guy lol.. As long he loves God and serves Him. Then that is right.

Of course, brownie points to that person who have great sense of humour, romantic, fun, loving, can cook, sing, plays music , sporty, yada yada yada :) ! 

As I mentioned earlier, I really do not think that rushing to be a relationship just for the status purpose or so on is really necessary because if I were ever going to date someone in Uni, and in the end having a LDR because of further studies.. what is really the point actually? You are going to end up breaking up.. or maybe not but you would just feel lonely, cry, missed and end up hurting yourself. You will be meeting new people oversea and who knows you will find someone there as well? Well unless it's what God had plan then of course things will go well even for LDR's . 

At the end of the day, God's hands is the greatest. If he ever lead you to a relationship today, go for it because it is what He planned for you. If it isn't , wait.. because He will give you the best. 

I've started to look at life in a different way. You got to live the fullest and you don't want to just waste that one life because it might end any time, you never know. I've seen and heard quite a lot of incidents in just this few months (from passing away's , bombed planes and missing planes, health problems and so on). It was never pleasing to hear things like this or even experience them.
To be honest 2014 have been a rough year. Take ' The Fault in Our Stars ' for example. Hazel and Gus that lived all their life with sickness. Their life is short but they somehow got to live their little infinity to the fullest. I mean, omg John Green you are so brilliant! * Still Cannot get over how great the story was! * I am in love with the whole concept and story of it and man it really inspired me vice versa taught me many things. * So touched I want to sob * 

Coming back to my topic, I am not saying I am finally 'Perfect'. Guys, people, hello.. we all are not perfect no matter how old you are. I still am lazy, forgetful and un-organize sometimes. We are still humans after all. Our nature still stays within us but of course I will feel guilty and will want to change that lousy attitude of mine.  

#DIY - Easy Flower Wreath

Hello readers. I know its been so long and I shall not repeat the reasons because it's the same lol. 

Today's post will be short,sweet and simple because I have been getting few request for this DIY project. 

Excuse my face.. 

This was an old sunflower wreath  I made last year. ( Sorry I don't have a better photo of myself with the wreath lol ) 

And today I will teach you guys how to make a very simple flower wreath. Once you know the technique, you can improvise however you want :) 

Things You'll Need: 

1. Glue Gun 

2. String ( any kind you prefer ) I picked the one with a wood texture.

3.Flowers of any kind . I picked white ones because I'm making them for a friend. ( I will suggest smaller flowers) 

4. Scissors

5.Glue stick 

Once you got all the ingredients prepared, lets start ! :) 

Get your string and measure it around your head. Add on 5 inch to tie later and any other adjustment. Then, cut . 

Measure about 5 inches or so away from the end and tie a loose knot. 

Place in your flower ( stem ) in to the hole of the knot. 

And then, tighten it. Make sure it's really tight. 

Do the same steps to every next 3 inches. ( You can play around with the length of the flowers. You decide.) 

at the mean time, you can heat up you Hot Glue Gun.

Cut out the stems so that it's perpendicular to the string. ( It doesn't have to be too flat. ) 

Glue the string and the stem of the flower with Hot Glue Gun to secure . 

Tips: You should cut each flower and glue them one by one so that the flowers will not fall out of the knot before glued. 

After completing all flowers, measure the string with the flowers again around your head, decide your own length you want and tie a Dead Knot. 

And TADA! you are done :) 

Easy peesy. Have fun !:) 

Food Review : Three Little Pigs & the Big Bad Wolf

Super belated post ! This was on Mothers Day .. I am pretty sure . 

So here's another Food review , which I have not been doing lately. All I do is eat and not do any review. Lol #nofacetosayI'mAbloggeranymore 

On Mother's Day we decided to go try out the oh so famous Three Little Pigs & the Big Bad wolf for Dinner. We literally Wazed the location even though while walking .The fact that we were so close yet so far, we almost gave up eating it. Seriously, the location of this restaurant in Bangsar is a bit too.. not expected. Some people did say it was unique but WHO PUTS an entrance of a (High Class almost) Restaurant INSIDE a Grocery Store ( Cold Storage if I'm not mistaken ) ? 

Oh well, we found it anyway... 

They have different menu's for lunch and dinner , from what I've heard. However we went only during dinner, so the concept was Big Bad Wolf. Therefore , what does the Big Fat Wolf eats? PORK !  

Pork Knuckles, super.. very.. BIG.. portion.  RM98 

Probably a serving for 4-5. Eating one piece of it already makes me fill so full = Jelak. 

But oh gosh, it's so good. Meat is tender, fries are yummy and gosh the mashed potatoes with added secret spices, I could eat them forever ! 

 and then we had The Wolf Favourite Pasta, RM29.  That's what they name it. Okay.. I don't really remember how this taste like haha but It's good I swear. Pork pieces plus the creamy texture and that poached egg.

Who the hell doesn't love poached eggs? ? ? D: 

EEEEGGGGGHHHHH ! ! ! Don't you see it?!  ( o v e r  r e a c t i n g ) but its okay because it's so good.

 Nothing could go wrong when you order an Aglio Olio Spaghetti, RM 19 . The aroma of it is still on the tip of my nose. So good you cannot resist. omg 

So, what is full without desserts?! 

White Chocolate Creme Brulee RM15. 

I admit it is costly for this small cup of dessert but hey, look at the bright side, you'll get to savour something so soft and creamy ( amazing texture ! ) oh and get fat ( well I don't think that is something good but who cares ), 

It looks like tofu, but NOTHING LIKE TOFUUU. 

Yum, are you hungry? haha 

Uhmm the picture doesn't look too appetizing but it definitely looks better in real life. Anyway, pictures can be deceiving ! You have to eat it your self. 

Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cake , RM 15 . 

The best is when you eat it with ice cream. It's the Bomb in your mouth! Best combination ever ! 

So the total add up .. 

 I admit it is very costly for a meal. haha but having it occasionally is fine right? ( eg, Mothers Day )

Definitely a recommendation for this Restaurant ! 

  Bangsar Village (03-2283 2270)

- Opening Hours: 9am - 11pm

 Tropicana City Mall, PJ (03-7722 3561)

When the sun goes down and the Pigs go home, the BIG BAD WOLF comes out to play...

Bought my mom a gift for Mother's Day. 

Yes, it's a very Shiny Bracelet. 

Ends it with a family selfie . 

Be Brave to take A Change- HairStyle

Before getting killed, I swear to God I wanted to write a blog post earlier but couldn't because my Iphone4s charger wire was sent to the hospital and have not came back. Therefore pictures can't be transferred. But... I finally got chance to use my momma's . 

Yes I've been busy with final projects and all the blah blah stuff, eg driving test. WHICH KILLED ME TWICE if you've read my previous sob sob blogpost. Anyhow, I finally passed it after failing dua kali on the same spot, the slope and got my driving license ! yay 

Right after getting my driving license, the so called ''brave'' me went and did something '' brave''.. make sense? lol.. Okay lets get to the point, I dyed my hair. So what if I dyed my hair? It's okay what.. Ehem, I have not finished my sentence, I dyed my hair a vibrant colour. To be honest, I never thought it would be this bright/ almost full headed vibrant-ness everywhere but I guess what's done is done. I gotta learn to get use to it and pretty much give more love to it ! and, ... take care of it omg.

Ps, I wanted more of an ombre-ish mix of colour but a little more extreme but then not too extreme too.. make sense? lol

( Question to those who have not seen me or in any recent pictures posted online .. )
What colour was it that could even shock myself when I saw myself in the mirror after washing off the dye?

But seriously, I got scared that moment. I'm pretty sure I lost quite some hair while dyeing. ( I literally gave that Mother of God (meme) Face.

You'll see..

..

..

..

This picture is without any filter. Yes it's pink ,, it's very vibrant but this colour is actually Magenta, or some people would call it hot pink.

I rather not talk about how I wanted it to be dyed. It is, not the same, except it does have the same shade of colour somewhere at the bottom. ( My hairstylist did not really do a good job , but it's okay )  Besides, this colour  makes me feel so Emo. I Instagram searched #PinkHair and most photos of the humans with this shade of pink are so Gothic... omg. #Idon'twantthat

I looked at myself and I cannot resist telling my whole family they just gotten a real Jap girl. Don't you think I look like one of those lala looking Japanese girls out there? hahaha ( Maybe it's the bangs, or the bun )

Anyway, I told my self I will have to get use to the change. Eventually I would, I must . On the first day I dyed my hair, I was so not use to the pinkness when I look at myself in the mirror and down at the ends of my hair. It was like wearing a Pink Wig lolol.

I have to love and give the extra care to my hair now, since it was bleached. To be honest, I never gave much thought about bleaching my hair. ( One reason was because in the first place I never wanted to bleach 90% of my hair, but I told you, my hairstylist did not really do a good job.  ) I started worrying after I dyed my hair. Worrying about hair colour gets ugly after a week or 2, hair gets damage, hair gets split ends, all the 10,000 worries.. Some moment there I did had some regrets but I told my self I should not. Yet there were some people that say nice things like You're so brave and Your hair is really pretty ect ect ...
yes thank you :) but if in just a few weeks it gets horrible, touchwood it's like right in my face I get the punishment for getting those compliments.

So, I am to stand out and just show the world confidence. I am thankful my parents gave me full support too. ( I love them so much. No words can explain how greatful I am to my parents! ) 

I play them with different styles each day ( if I can ) Usually I love having my bangs down because it makes my face smaller and more Me but with the pink I was amazed that I could play around with my fringe , side bangs, mid partings , clip up, whatever and still look pretty good in it ! :D

To be honest, having bangs with this hair doesn't look that good lol.

I especially love sweet styles like a simple french braid or any kind of braids! I always loved how it looks like with coloured hair ♥

French Braid done by my sister ♥ You can see a slight orange on the left of my hair too.
 My hair is really the most amazing in pictures. It can never disappoint me.

This picture proves ;)

Stands out so much isn't it? lol

So..

How do you like my Half-way Tucked in braids? haha ♥

The pink makes this easy braid way more prettier.

Why Stress and Upset? Where is the Faith and Trust?

This will be a written post only. Bare with the words. 

Hi. I know it have been awhile. I have been fighting war with Finals for the past months and weeks and finally it just ended on Tuesday except for one more final exam. Besides I have also been taking driving exams for the past few weeks and managing the PTPTN stuff hence all the busy-ness and stress. Life have been hectic since the first day of driving exam. The worst is, it feels worst than taking SPM. Why? The fact that if you failed one single action during the driving test, right on that spot they fail you, in a blink of an eye which I wish to CURSE when it happens ,'' you mothafaka..''

On the first time ever driving test, truth is I wasn't that nervous until I started moving the car and everything happened just to fast. Too fast that RM200 just dissapear in a blink of an eye. Went up the slope and never cross the line twice. I was angry but I shouldn't be because partly it was my fault. I was too nervous. Thankfully I passed the On the Road test. Which if I failed that too, I probably breakdown sooner. 

Before the second test on the next Wednesday, I have been asking for prayers from my pastor and church. It is to said that prayers are powerful and I know it is. Also, this verse have been very true to me, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, in all your ways submit to him and he will make your path straight. I held on to this verse , making sure I will remember it so that I will not get nervous during the test, and that I will go through everything well with His guidance. I really really really submitted all onto His hands.

  Ps. Though I want to bribe as much as everybody, I never did because I trusted Him.

At the end of the day, I failed. Again. Of all places I failed the slope again. I was so angry and upset. I couldn't believe I  just wasted another RM200 again?! This time it wasn't the nervousness nor the line problem. I did everything well until I was suppose to go down the slope. Somehow the meter wasn't right and I told the JPJ people (the person examining me) about it , which I wish had never say anything.  They did not care nor bother and of course... I went backwards and the man came to me and said, you failed. I WAS SO ANGRY, FUCKING ANGRY.  I explained / argued /( I don't know which) to them but obviously ..how can I win? Who am I? Datin? No. 

I was really really upset, angry at myself, at God , at the shitty car, at the shitty rude people. I literally cried a whole river when I reached back to the seat.( It never stop till I sleep that night, continued while writing this ) I was really upset about God. The fact that I put my trust into God hands and all, things still didn't turn out straight but then I told myself, there is a reason why God do not want me to pass yet. Maybe He wanted me to be safe because if I start driving sooner, touchwood something might go wrong or He just want me to know that not all the time He will answer prayers right away. It could also be that Satan is trying to make me stray away from God further and no matter what, I will NEVER EVER be apart from God because He is still true. 

Though times I really don't know if making up my own analysis is Good or Bad because every single time I say.. '' I think.... '' My father will say this is one very bad habit of mine. He does not like it . Wait sorry, everyone does not like it. So it's very frustrating, does this mean I should think that even with my trust in the Lord, He made me fail because I was never meant to pass? I was never meant a winner? Just wow, wow at all the negativity. What could I do? I'm still human.. where's the support when I need to? Without it, all I could think of is I am no good. Which is painful to think of. 

My father is really odd sometimes. I don't even know if I should take his sympathy because at the end of every sympathy, there is always a turn around that shoots me back saying that I am wrong. At the end of the day, all I know is I am always wrong and I will ask myself, am I the worst person on earth? because all the things he says makes me a person that isn't meant to be an ordinary human. I am rude, I always say ' I think..'' or always uncertain like 'I don't know... maybe..'.  

I wished I could be the perfect human that no one could find fault in me. Every human isn't perfect, that's what the world says. My parents and my sister, they are not perfect too. But I guess my imperfection is the worst. (You see, I just used the word I guess. FML.) Sometimes I just don't understand why would people even be friends with me if I'm this horrible. People usually ignores and talk behind the backs of the odd ones. 

Getting Fat with Sister ♥

I was planning to update this a bit earlier but could not find the time to. Assignmentsssssss .  So Unni just finished her 4 months intern-ship and she's currently having fun with her life for now.On the Tuesday, she actually stayed back in my uni to explore, then to go out with me after class.

 Fyi, it was a sisters day out kinda thing . 

Coordinate for that day.

Japanese Mickey Mouse Buns.

sigh. If only that country was right next to mine. Only In my dreams. 

Anyways, back to the sister day out topic before I lose myself from reality again. 

We went to Curve to have lunch at Sakae Sushi. We were very hungary ! Therefore, what's fat? Fat means extra chubbiness , Fat sounds good so Let's Get FAT! No. Sushi omg sushi.
