Life as of late

... hasn't been the greatest. If there's one thing I really want to do and can afford to do now, it'll be moving out. A few days ago while crying silently in the toilet, memories stirred and quickly I realised how days in uni when I was away from home were probably one of the best times of my life. All I want to do now, is work my way towards leaving home once again.

Distance does make the heart fonder I can assure everyone. And I am not only speaking for girl-guy relationships. For my parents and myself, I think only distance can tame the stiffness of the relationship we share now.

A recent gathering. Clockwise L-R: Esther, Cat, Chooi Yin & Sam.

A recent celebration, my grandma's birthday. Pictured here are almost all of my cousins (the grandchildren) . I'm not in the picture because I looked too cool I need to be cropped but you can still see my cool hands at the far right.

The ones pointed with an arrow are future cousins (grandchildren) in law, and circled in red are one of my cousins' daughters, the great-grandchildren? Is that how you call it? And how are they called in relation to me? Second cousin? 

Uncles and aunts, all of my grandma's children including their spouses.

Grandma and 2 of her sons (my laopeh at the right). Another uncle passed away 2 years ago.

My grandma's hottest granddaughter period.

Ok that is all for today. No excitement to write about anything.

Btw, I'm almost done with Eat, Pray, Love. I know, "omg Ee Von the last time I heard you talking about that book was 10 years ago you're not done?". Sorry, haven't exactly had the mood to read. But I'm glad I'll be on time for the movie.

As I read it I feel like I've been following Elizabeth around on her adventure and now that I'm left with only 10ish pages I don't feel like I want to finish reading it :(  

Everytime I finish reading something really good I'll get this weird empty feeling. It's like losing something, or a really close friend just left for somewhere. It takes me a really long to complete a book but at least I feel like I'm still on an adventure just cos I'm not at the end yet, you know what I mean?

Do you get this kinda weird reactions when you read?

I need to vent!

"Tomorrow's a holiday (Merdeka). You working meh?"

"Yeah. I'm sleeping."

So yes, eversince I started working, my undereye circles became more apparent, like undereye circles treatment advertisements you see. Just reverse the before and after picture. Fuck work, I absolutely hate my job. 

So I wanted to vent about this bitchy customer (you saw that coming didn't you?) but no, I'm not going to ruin my good mood now, and instead prepare myself for a good 12 hour sleep because tomorrow is a holiday.

Fuck countdowns. What were they for anyways? A reason to party and drink alcohol? A chance to stick around thousands of sweaty, people you do not know and risk getting jabbed with infected syringes by some psychopaths? No thanks. The TV wasn't made for nothing.

Ok excuse the negativity. Coming back soon, to blog like a sane person...

Happy tears

I first saw this video on Facebook and I cried almost immediately when the video started to play. I watched it about 3 times already and I swear I cried each time. Sounds like too much but yeah, I suck.

I can't embed the one in Facebook here so I searched through Youtube and found these two which aren't the same but they're pretty good too.

Please note that I'm not in any way supporting any war. These videos are heart warming because they show nothing but pure happiness when longings are rewarded.

On an unrelated note, I'm not very pleased at the moment. I placed an order on ASOS.com 18 days ago and until now, my package is nowhere to be seen. Well technically I won't see it cos they don't provide shipping to Malaysia so I made them ship to Wk's place in Melbourne but still, no news or package whatsoever. I contacted ASOS and they told me to wait for another 10 days. Like seriously... I had to pay like freaking 10.50 pounds for shipping and now I need to wait for almost a month to get my stuffs? :( They better make sure my order is safely delivered within the next 10 days or I'll... cry wtf.

Stupid Customers (more to come)

Looks like crap here but in person it actually looks pretty cool! I got a few compliments with this :)

I ran into somebody's car (in other words, caused an accident) last Monday and this damage cost me half a grand. Seriously, WTH. And I need to pay for my own car's damage some more FML.

Ok time to rant about work. Or rather, stupid people mainly customers.

We provide delivery service given that the customer stays nearby our shop - usually gratis cos sometimes some people can be such an ass-wipe they'll bug you nonstop for a discount, even RM1 makes them happy. 

It's ok to deliever it, but please don't expect us to freaking know where the fuck you stay like immediately!  And also, we are not 7-11. We have other jobs to attend to, don't fucking expect us to be able to do the delivery immediately like "Oh want to deliver? Ok today can!" and go on expecting us to go deliver it right away. Are you stupid or what?

We're not humans with built in GPS. You can't expect us to hire DHL or Pos Malaysia to deliver your items to you can you you moron? Those people we send to deliver your shit are our own workers and do you expect them to be so educated that they'll search Google Maps for specific step by step directions to your house? 

And by the fucking way your area is so new it does not even appear in Google Maps. Yes I searched, just to help make our workers' lives easier because we're dealing with people like you.

Do you expect them to have a GPS? Or do you expect me, or the boss to personally deliver it? Stupid brainless people.

STOP URGING US TO MAKE IT QUICK, WE NEED TIME TO LOCATE THE PLACE. 

What's the point of telling us your house is 5 minutes drive from our shop? It's 5 minutes to you cos you obviously know YOUR area and the direction to our place but obviously not us! You want it free, then stop bugging the shit out of our lives.

End of rant.

Go For It

Totally hate this disgusting length of my fringe - neither long nor short.

Final-freaking-ly removed my ugly, horribly chipped yellow nail polish and repainted my nails this beautiful sky blue. When I say horrible, think of one patch of yellow at the centre of the nails of random fingers. I'm  THAT awesome-ly lazy.

Bought this Chanel tattoo set which I've been eyeing for some time but never had enough (non existent) balls to fork out the money until I saw it in this website, selling at a fraction of the retail price! Sweet. Not entirely sure if they're authentic but who cares! It's just a tattoo for goodness sake. Not that its going to sink into my skin and be permanent wtf.

Also got this double eyelid fibre thingie which Ringo aka Cheesie from Cheeserland talked about in this post. Bought everything from Minimaos.com :)

I told my brother about this double eyelid fibre thing, which naturally he asked, "Why do you need this when you already have double eyelids?" Ok normal.

I told Cat and she said, "You have TRIPLE eyelids, why do you need it???" 

LMFAO! Sometimes our exaggerative conversation just amuses me.

Bought these 3 Dior lipglosses off a sale, for the price of only ONE of it *peace sign :) But we all know how you pay for what you get... these were manufactured probably a year or two ago. I hope they don't kill my lips.

Today's goodbye kiss is from...

Purple lips! Purposely downsized it cos I know it looks a bit disturbing =P but I absolutely adore this lipstick!

Practice & Basics

Finally got these two books from Chambers Music yesterday. And now I'm half a grand poorer T___T 

I hate how a lot of music books are so fucking expensive and inaccessible here in Malaysia. If it's possible I always try my best to not advocate photocopying but the price and availability sometimes give me no option. Also, I was a student myself (still am) and I know how it feels to be burdened by the need to spend so much on music books. Even if you're not spending your money on it, your parents are. I don't know about others, but when I had to ask money from my parents to buy music books, I remember nothing except them yelling at how expensive they were.

Anyway, Ive read a couple of pages from the books. Very informative indeed. I'd say these are great books for violin teachers as well as students.

Pink in the Afternoon

Lunch at Vietnam Kitchen.

Honestly, I've never been a fan of Vietnam food only because I've tried it once and it wasn't a good one. Yesterday's lunch totally changed my mind. Not only were the food surpriseingly good, the dishes tasted just like Chinese cuisine! Jian and I shared this set which is supposed to serve 2-3 people. Holly cow look, there's 4 dishes to eat with rice ok and it was only RM 33++. That amount can probably serve 4 girls but I was hungry as athe beast so...

The purpose of this gathering is to make up to our absence during Mun Fei's (guy in the middle) farewell gathering last week. I look damn fcking weird and ugly T___T

It's funny how the two of us, get to meet up with the ONLY three guys in our course. Usually it's difficult to, cos either one or two will be away. Samuel (guy at the right) was at Birmingham, Jian usually at Seremban. Mun Fei's leaving to Missouri. We kept saying this meet up is only once every year so it's ok to spend a little bit more on food and laugh a little bit louder (actually damn loud it's quite some heads-turner) when it's funny.

 Managed to watch Salt before leaving 1U. Quite nice.

Being Asian FTW! Lol.

A very kind reader suggested that I end each post with a different coloured lips each time, reason being this way I can finish up my lipsticks. LOL actually I thought of it but not too seriously. Since she suggested, I think it'd be fun to do :)

Ok, a goodbye kiss from my girly, pink lips ~x

PS In case anyone's wondering, YES I did mosaic the area above my lips because I cannot tahan the misai, too ugly and disgusting to look at. I could have used Photoshop but it'll take some time and I'm lazy. So yeah. It isn't bad editing, it's called QUICK EDITING FOR LAZY PEOPLE. Kthxbai.
