Creepy Crawlies

Yesterday when I was chatting with Kin Wai...

And I didn't sleep well :( cos I was so paranoid that the stupid spider would climb on to me. STUPID SPIDER.

Wk's reaction when I told him about it:

" You know what you should have done? "
" What? "
" Vaccuum it. "
" WTF AHHAHAHAHA! What if it crawls out! " (I realised I sounded quite stupid saying that)
" No cannot wan. Vacuum already it'll faint wan. Then the best is after you vacuum it, go vacuum other things. Then it'll be stuck inside, cannot come out d. Or you vacuum small unwanted things like rubber. Then it'll hit it then confirm die. "
" AHHAHHAHHAAHHAHH! "

Actually come to think of it, it makes sense. Vacuum is the best solution because if I had whacked it, it'll dirty the floor and I probably wouldn't have the guts to go clean the mess up too.

My stupid brother's reaction when I told him about it:

" Omg the spider's gonna climb onto you tonight and bite you and then you'll become spiderman. " (he said that in the most nonchalant manner, while eating his whatever food)
" ... " (I stared at him for 5 seconds)

I really didn't know what to say. It was too lame for me to even respond.

I seriously hate lizards and spiders with all my heart. The sight of it disgusts me. When it crawls, omgggggg.

There's Something Wrong With Esther

First, continuation of Project 365! Pictures are mostly myself cos I haven't been doing much but being vain haha!

#166

#167 - Dad's reply when I sent him a msg saying I was watching a movie with Esther and would be back late. Dad's messages never fail to crack me up. I dunno why.
#168 - My mom's geng mirror which magnifies! Not this one, another side of it.

Check this out.

Look at how round it makes my face look! I look like a doll. Not Barbie, the other type with bigger eyes and small mouths.

#169 - Taken in the car while waiting for my grandma to finish buying her whatever fruits from the stalls I drove her to.
#170 - Today, before heading to the mall for a movie with Esther and Wai Tuck.


Sorry if I have just irritated the crap out of you with that face.

I like today's make up. Wasn't too dramatic, but wasn't barely there. Could have toned down on the eyeliner though. The best stuff I've ever gotten from MAC is definitely the Smoke Signals Smoking Eyes eyeshadow quad. The colours are so very pigmented, versatile and useful.

So today, we watched Orphan and I tell you, it's so damn freaky!

We were laughing at Esther the whole time after the movie. As in, my best friend Esther Toh. Not that psycho Esther in that movie ok.

Ok here comes my half-assed movie review. Don't worry, it's short and I won't include any spoilers.

It is surprisingly not as typical as most horror movies are. Well it's of course typically horrifying with all the killing scenes. What's not typical is that there isn't much gore but more to thrills. And at least there is an end to all that killings.

I like the surprise when they find out who she is. Very unexpected. I like how there's a proper plot and explaination behind everything in the end, unlike most horror flicks that end all of a sudden making the audience go "Wtf?". Or the type which is totally pointless where the movie ends after everyone's killed. Damn irritating. Like Halloween, a DAMN STUPID movie. Total waste of time and money.

Anywayyyy.

I also like the actress who acted as the main character, Esther,

Credits
Isabelle Fuhrman who looks pretty in this picture but after watching the movie you'll find her monstrous wtf.

At the beginning of the movie when she appeared, I asked Esther how come she don't look as ugly as she is in the poster (Btw check out her poster, she looks quite ugly there but not the one I posted here though, check out the other one, go google. I feel like plucking her eyebrows wtf.). Esther said "Cos she hasn't started to kill mah!". Wah damn true. Even before she started to kill she already gave me chills and her ugliness slowly crept in me wtf.

For a 12 YO, her acting was superb as a crazed kid. There were times when I had to block my eyes with my popcorn bucket or my right hand while my right arm was clutched tightly by Esther who hid behind. Her jerks and screams freaked me out a few times wtf. Wai Tuck who's beside me was laughing away wtf Laughing Gor laughing away WTF HAHAHAHAHH Wai Tuck are you reading this!!!

Yes, she's THAT freaky.

Also, thumbs up to,

Aryana Engineer who's only 7!

Isn't she the most adorable and the prettiest kid ever? My heart melted when I saw this picture. Just look at her smile! I personally don't like kids. I think they're annoying and noisy. But her acting and the look on her face totally made me go "Awwwww..." with my shoulders and eyebrows drooping already.

In the movie she's a mute and partially deaf. I checked her bio out and in real life, she's actually really partially deaf! I feel so sad for her! Such a talented girl with such a pretty face but with a partially-impaired hearing. :(

Ok end of half-assed review. Not exactly a review cos I suck and reviewing. So, go watch it. Definitely worth the money.

P.S. I added the 'Currently Reading' section! My vocab is seriously getting more and more horrible these days. I often find myself getting stuck not knowing what's the right word to describe a situation, an object, a feeling etc. Even right now. I knew the right word's not 'getting stuck' but I just cannot think of the word I want to use. It's somewhere in my mind but I just can't seem to find it. Also, I always end up using the same word again and again. And it's frustrating. Hopefully by doing this section, I'll be more motivated and determined to finish them books and update constantly. I went to the bookshop today and saw so many books that looked really interesting but in the end I didn't buy any because I decided to only get them once I've finished all that I have right now. They're not a lot. Most of them were read half way, before I put them aside and forgot about them. And now, I have to start all over again. This seriously cannot be it. Gotta start reading more!

Curlsss

Ok so I was a little bored and sampat, I did a tutorial on how to curl long hair using a small curling iron. Omg damn weird la, it's as though I was talking to myself. Wait, I WAS talking to myself for real o.O I don't understand how people manage to do it when they talk and to tutorials. It feels so weird! But oh well. I still did for the fun of it. Video editing is really addictive!

Thank You

Just now while Esther and I were in my car on the way to Aeon, we saw a man on his motorcycle. It caught our sights because he had a kid behind him. That kid was really tiny and was at the back, holding to the man. What's more horrifying was that the kid was not wearing a helmet. And to make things worse, it was raining.

And suddenly I felt so thankful that I'm born with all the luck I can get.

I'm lucky because at least, I have a car to drive around. I'm lucky to be born in this family, being showered with all the love and protection I can get. I'm lucky that I have the money to watch a movie with my friends.

As we passed by that motorcycle, we both were complaining to each other how irresponsible the father was.

Then again, I came home and thought, what if it's because the father had no choice? What if it's because the father couldn't afford another helmet for his kid? What if it's because the father didn't have time the to stop some where and wait for the rain to stop before he continues riding to wherever he was heading to?

Sometimes we tend to complain and judge about other people so much because we simply do not realise that there is more than what meets the eye.

Today I learnt that instead of wasting the time and effort to judge and talk about other people, I should really be grateful and be thankful that I am blessed with a loving family, friends and boyfriend who are always there to provide me shelter, love and protection.

I may not believe in the existence of God, but I believe in karma and I believe I may have been good in the past and that is why, I shall always be blessed with everything I need. I will never complain about my life anymore because I know, I am far more lucky if compared to that little kid who had to hold on to his dad on that motorcycle, under the rain. My life may not be perfect, but it's beautiful when I have so many beautiful people around me to show me about life. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder; beauty to me is there when there's happiness and joy.

And I am really, really thankful for that. I'm thankful for what I have right now, right at this moment.

The Family Day

So after work today, I came back home. Showered, washed my hair, blew it dry, got all the stuffs ready in dad's car such as the robe, hat, scroll, my violin, etc. Drove up to Fotorex at Jaya One, PJ.

A woman did my makeup for me. Because the thickness of my eyelids are uneven, she stuck some sorta tape on it. I never knew it could work like that! Hrm Imma try it next time since the uneven-ess of my eyelids are quite irritating sometimes.

The service was quite professional. The photographer professionally arranged our positions and directed our poses. I took one with my violin and he showed me from his camera. It looked really nice! I hope the others will turn out good too.

The only sad thing is that my other sister is not around to take the pictures with us. She's in uni in Sabah right now, or probably enjoying her Sunday with her boyfriend who's there studying at the same uni as her. The last time I talked to her, I said,

"Haha, you can't take graduation pics with us!"

And she replied,

"Fck la"

LOL! I guess it runs in our blood. Or probably just us siblings influencing each other. It probably started with me mastering the art of swearing when I was in high school. Then the younger ones began to learn haha! There's not a single day where we siblings will talk to each other without even swearing. Not meaning it of course, just for the fun of it.

Anyway!

After the shoot we went to The Curve and had dinner at TGIF. Good stuff, good stuff. Meal was hearty but I was hoping to eat a little bit more haha! Ok better not, when I think of this msg from Esther,

"Shit Shit Shit. Monday got go jogging or not? I damn fat ady. Put on 2 kgs. 2KGS! FML" "It happened over the weekend T__T"

LOLOLOL!!!

Camwhored a little before removing the make up and the clothes. I quite like this 'Office Lady' look.

I decided to wear a skirt instead of the black pants I wore during my convocation cos the black pants is seriously too long that it's sweeping the floor. And I don't have higher heels to go with it anyway.

During convocation I wore this lilac Vincci peep toe sling backs and god I swear I'll never touch those heels again! They gave me blisters and I was walking with it the whole day (at some point, had to run cos we were late) during convocation and my blisters broke and the friction made the wound worse!

Its seriously really, really bad. I'll take a picture if I remember to and post it here one day. Stupid stupid shoes. I'm not gonna touch them again. Everrrr. Ok that means, I need a new pair. HAHAHA!

Lastly before I hit the sack,

On that day few hours before convocation, I drove around SS2 and dropped by Kimarie for a trim and a wash. I love how salons can blow dry my hair all straight and neat. And the way they wash, my hair can stay not getting oily for up to 4-5 days! Usually it gets oily by day 2 or 3 if I don't wash my hair. When your hair's as long as mine, you'll understand why I dread washing it.

Anyway, it was so cheap! The senior stylist's price was only RM 25! Usually when I get a trim and wash it cost my RM30++ even in Klang! And it's not to say those salons are very well known. I'm not saying Kimarie's well known but at least, they have a website and they have branches so I supposed it's a quite established name already.

The trim was quite nice. She didn't cut much which I absolutely like because I hate stylists who don't listen to customers. And she also fixed my fringe which I previously snipped myself (ok, secret told) and it looks a lot better now. The whole cut+wash took less than an hour which was really good cos I was actually rushing.

I asked them for their hair colouring price and omg so much cheaper than what I paid! I'll definitely go there for my next hair job ;)



Ok good night!

Graduation - The Flowers

I've been awake since 6.30am and was randomly surfing the net while uploading pictures. I hate how I can't sleep much when something exciting's coming up. I'll be heading to the photo studio to take some graduation pictures with my family. And I don't understand why I feel so kan cheong with it also. Yesterday while chatting with Wk,

" Your life so nice hor? Don't need to do anything now. "
" ... where got! "
" Yala. You have nothing to worry about but how to wear your mortar board so that you'll look good in the pictures. "
" Wtf. Eat shit la you. "

He's got a point anyway. Wtf. -_-

Gahhhhh I can't decide how to wear my mortar board hat to look ok in the pictures! The last time I let all my fringe down I didn't look like a graduate at all lor! But if I put all my fringe up it looks quite ugly! I know that's how everyone wears it but I've seen people who wear it nicely! I shouldn't have trimmed my fringe laaaaa.

#162

Bought this from G2000 on the night before my convocation. I thought it's compulsary to wear a collared shirt (which I don't have, I just realised) but actually it's not. Didn't regret getting it anyway, since I don't have one.

#163


#164

A gift from Chooi Yin during convocation! So thoughtful and I didn't even get anyone anything! I feel like a useless friend now... T_T

#165

The lilies my friends got me.

Yesterday I realise that the flowers are slowly turning brown! T_T That's the bad thing about real flowers given as a gift. You can't really keep them except in pictures. So I decided to quickly take pictures of them.

The bouquet of white lilies Esther, Wai Tuck and Sim Mei got me. So pretteeeeee!

This was it on that day before they met me.

Half bloomed.

Now all nicely bloomed.




This was given by mom and dad.

On that day I was telling Cat that my parents surely will not buy me any flowers. Few days before convocation when I asked my parents to attend, my mom said, "Need to buy flowers ah? Go pinjam from people only lah" haha! Yes, my parents are like that. They don't bouther much about things. She even told me, "Huh? Must go the ceremony ah? Sure very boring one." LOL!

True enough! They did not get me flowers before going! This bouquet was bought at the very last minute from the many booths set up in uni after the ceremony. I know because when I met my mom and Esther and the rest, my dad was not there. And when he came back, he threw a bouquet of flowers to me saying "Nah" wtf. HAHAHA. I know it's not bought from florists also because it's not a very nice bouquet.

There's a rotten rose in it! My sister's finger's pointing at it.


Looks more like a valentine's gift than graduation haha.

It may not be a nice bouquet BUT! it's the thought that counts and so, I love it as much =)

Daisies given by my juniors. And no, it's that I'm really likeable in uni or anything, all my coursemates got one. Every senior who graduates will get one from the juniors.

And I thought they were sunflowers at first haha! I forgot sunflowers are much bigger than these.

Ok time to get ready for work.

Why nobody can answer me?!!

" OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!! "

" What? "

" YOU KNOW MELBOURNE NOW HAS LINDT'S CAFE ALREADY! "

" HAHAHAHAH! Ya I know! "

" WTF WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!! "

" AHAHAHA another reason for you to come right? :D "

" Hahah! Guess who told me! "

" Aileen lorrr... "

" How you know one! "

" Hahah only she will tell you this kind of things la "

---

Haha. He knows me so well. And his friends too :)

I went to the Postgraduate Fair at IDP today and GRRR SO ANGRY!!! I can't believe this! All I need is just a freakin' answer - Do I freakin' need to go through an audition for specialisation in Teaching. I emailed University of Melbourne's School of Music but they didn't reply me. I went to IDP before this. That lady obviously didn't know anything and instead kept asking me to attend the fair cos she assured me representatives will be there and they'll be able to answer me. I got all my result slips ready cos that lady said if I apply on that day the application fees of AUD100 can be waived which is totally great because AUD100 is a lot for me. So I went today, and it's fruitless AGAIN!!!

STUPID.

I wasn't exactly late, was there around 12pm and there were already people queueing up for enquiries at the many Australian universities' booths. But not all were long queues la. From what I saw, only popular ones like Monash & Melbourne were quite packed with people.

Yes. Long queue at Melbourne U's booth. So I waited for about 10 minutes before I got to spoke with one of them. Then I told her I needed to know about requirements. She took out the book which I ALREADY have. Honestly, damn irritating la if really everything's already in the book or in the website do I still need to be there? Of course I got something I don't understand only I go there and ask one lah!

Reminded me of that stupid ang moh in Melbourne U's School of Music I met when I was in Melbourne. Stupid ang moh told me to go back and check out the website after I asked her a lot of questions she couldn't answer me. STUPID. OF COS I'VE READ THE WEBSITE LA IF NOT WHY I KNOW MELBOURNE U HAS MUSIC COURSES! WHY I WENT THERE. I said I wanted to meet someone who's in the faculty because I need to clarify about things. That stupid fat ang moh (*touch wood!) just wouldn't move her fat ass to arrange for me and asked me to check the website. STUUUUPID. No wonder she had to work there. With that kinda stupid attitude she'll probably have to work at that counter for the rest of her life lah.

Ok anyway, back to the fair today. Then I told her what's my problem and in the end, she too couldn't answer me. It's seriously very confusing.

I want to take the Masters in Music Studies by Coursework in Performance/Teaching. And in their website, it says that students who intend to do the Performance specialisation need to go through an audition. Er... so what about Teaching?

I asked a lady from IDP before and at first she answered me "YES" instantly claiming that it's under the same category. But I don't understand! Why the hell must the uni mention only students under Performance specialisation needs to go through audition! It sounds as though students who wants to specialize in Teaching don't have to go through an audition! But it's not mentioned in the website!

Today I asked a girl. At first she too replied me just like the lady I met earlier at IDP, an instant "YES" but after a while, she told me she's not sure actually. And she say she'll check it out for me. Wtf. Then I asked her "So I can't apply today?" and she said no since I'm not sure of the requirements yet. WTF.

I drove all the way there and purposely brought all my certs and all thinking it'll take some time to apply and all. In the end I still CANNOT apply and STILL DON'T KNOW if I need to go through an audition.

But the good news is that, she told me eventhough I can't apply today, I can always apply through IDP another day and the application fee will still be waived. That's the first. Second is, she asked me to leave her my enquiries and that when she gets anything she'll email the info to me. Well at least, AT LEAST, somebody's responding to me now.

It's seriously so damn frustrating. I just want to know whether or not I need to do the audition that's all! Why is it so hard to just answer me? To me having an audition and not having one makes A LOT of difference! If I don't have to go through an audition, I can save a lot of my money learning violin! I can use the time to teach more and earn more money! I don't have to worry about getting an accompanist which means more money needed, and a place to record my audition tape! I don't have to worry about posting the tape and the risk of it being lost on the way!

But if I DO need to go through an audition, that's a totally different story already!

Haihhhhh why want to give Melb U money also so difficult wtf.
