Mighty Long Fall

Don't fall for it. Don't trip. Don't even lose your balance, because it may not be worth it, no, it may not even mean anything. Moreover, it means nothing to him. Rather, what you're feeling right now is useless. It not only hinders your concentration, but also makes you lose yourself. 

Don't think about it. Don't notice. Don't even let it get inside your head. Nothing will change if you continue to keep this up, it'll only worsen your condition. Faster, get over it. C'mon, you can do it. It's not as difficult as you think it is. This is for the better. 

Love can wait, but studies progress with time and time wait for no one. 
Hurry and pick up your pace again.
Leave behind anything unimportant. 

This relationship isn't going to get you anywhere, you know it.

"To you, I'm just one person out of many,

I pass you by,

I'm not special to you"

I'll give up. 

Mugcakes

1st attempt:

6/10. It was okay-ish, it wasn't very moist. In fact, it was really dry and it hardens quick. Didn't really enjoy it much.

2nd attempt:

8.5/10. This was probably my most successful mugcakes by far. It was really moist and chewy. Although it was quite bitter at first, it turned out fine after a couple more bites. By the way, I used a different recipe this time round (there's no eggs in this one!).

3rd attempt:

7/10. The shape and how it turned out was really pretty (the first pic!), look at how round it came out! I was surprised myself too! Hahaha. Then I tasted it, and it was too salty. I even resorted to adding milk and it's not that bad. 

Collapse

Guess what, I fainted today, for the first time. I mean, there are times where I almost fainted but this time I collapsed. It's not a thing to boast about but I just wanted to get it off my chest somewhere. I didn't tell any of my family members about it because I knew that they are just gonna make a big fuss about it and I just really hate attention, so don't mind me! Just some random girl complaining over here. :)

Last Day

Today marks the last day of the first semester break and I'm simply saddened by it's arrival. Why is this semester break so short? 
What productive things have I done except for watching endless animes and going on Tumblr? 
Why do I feel so sluggish even though I haven't done much? 
This semester's break has been a lonely one. But, nonetheless, I've got my Tumblr buddies to accompany me and they are such lovely sweethearts! :) If it's not them, I wouldn't even be trying to wake up every noon. I would have just stayed in bed and rot away. 

Anyway, let's get started on the updates:

Shu Fei and I went to a Cat Cafe few days ago. We've been planning to go to cafes for ages but unforeseen circumstances kept getting in our way, thus not being able to go to any cafes earlier. We went there at it's opening hour and some other people were there too (I didn't expect there will be 5-6 other people coming this early and also that day wasn't a public holiday either) Here are some pictures:

This is my kind of paradise. Cats are seriously so cute and their fur is so smooth and soft. I would like to raise a kitten as a pet but my family members would definitely oppose to it because we've never raised any dogs/cats, so it would be troublesome and tedious for all of us to train it (like where they can do their business and such). We went there for an hour and it costs $12 (their rates: $12 for the first hour). Didn't stay any longer because Shu Fei gotta rush off to school and somewhere else after that. Also, we didn't buy any food from there as it's quite expensive and no one seems to be serving them yet. Hence, we went to get Astons for lunch. I bought another SmoothieKing to drink along and it's Banana Island this time. They even gave me a redemption card! 

(My phone's camera is unable to auto-focus. I'm frustrated too, please let me change my phone to a better one asap.)

And here I am trying to draw:

They are all characters from Teen Titans, doesn't look like it, huh. My best one has gotta be StarFire at the top right hand corner, not bad right? By the way, it's Jinx, StarFire, Raven aand Robin that I've drawn, in case you can't recognise any of them because of my awful drawing skills. I've just finished the whole series from Season 1 to 5, plus the finale movie! And I'm started to miss the team already. I wish Cartoon Network would pick them up again and start a Season 6 because this yearning inside me is growing stronger. Just like how it's accumulating ever since HxH anime ended. 

It's okay, I can entertain myself with Teen Titans Go!, the chibi version of Teen Titans. Hehehehe. 

Smooth

I was so bored one day that I decided to drag my lazy feet out of the house and satisfy my wanderlust (kind of). Got myself dressed up and went to NEX to get my cup of smoothie from SmoothieKing after some research. It seems to promote healthy and good smoothies. Also, NEX is somewhere the youngsters would hang out after their school and I was so afraid to bump into any of my sec sch friends I didn't want them to know that I'm wandering about alone. I'm such a failure. 

Sighs. Anyway, I got my hand on this smoothie called Angel Fruit (I think). Tastes like a mix of strawberries and bananas, it's pretty good actually. No wonder it's popular. Plus, the cup is made of styrofoam! The smoothie doesn't get warm nor does the cup collect water droplets on the outside. WONDERFUL. 

Look at it:

The amount of smoothie there is is also a plus point (more than what Starbucks serve for the same cost). I've been walking around NEX and shopping through CottonOn and UNIQLO while drinking it and guess what, I was only 3/5 through the smoothie. If it was the Green Tea Latte in my hand, it would have been long gone. The amount is shocking. Would definitely go back and try the other flavours! :)

I went back to Northpoint after spending my time at NEX to shop the CottonOn here. I have nothing else better to do, sorry. Anyway, I didn't find anything worthy of my money there so I went to POPULAR to look for Khaled Hosseini books, particularly The Kite Runner. The tumblr users which I follows are highly recommending this particular author and so it got me curious. And they all recommended that starting from his first book would be ideal so as to get use to his writing style. His second book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, has gained much love from the readers, so I can't wait to get my hands on his books. Unfortunately, POPULAR isn't selling The Kite Runner or A Thousand Splendid Suns, but they do have his latest work: And The Mountains Echoed. I didn't get it because I wanna stick to reading his first book. Hence, I went to the library to look for them but to no avail. Instead, I borrowed The Salvation of a Saint by Keigo Higashino, the same author for The Devotion of Suspect X. I loved his books because it's so intriguing, the way he weaves through the crime and all. 

Excited. 

Another day, my family and I decided to go out for dinner and so we headed to Jack's Place and it sure is packed. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long for a table for four. The down side was, there weren't enough waiters so it took a while for them to take our order. Dinner was great nonetheless. 

I ordered Grilled Salmon Steak and the salmon was heavenly. Hehehe.

Another waiter came afterwards to pour the condiments onto the baked potato and it tasted so much better.

I wanna enjoy a meal at their place again. 

Help

And I'm still considering getting a few more pairs of jeans because my classrooms are air-conditioned so I would be cold if I wore the shorts. What should I do?

Braids, curls, dyes.

This will be a post dedication about hair. Be warned. 

So, I've been practicing to tie braids on my hair because I've got nothing else better to do and my hair is quite long. But it is still not long enough for me to tie a satisfying braid. Nonetheless, the one in the picture is not bad, I'm happy. 

My hair is growing day by day but I've no idea what I should do with it. I mean, I certainly want to dye/highlight it at some point of time but I just can't decide when would be good. The coming semester or next year? Or maybe when I cut my hair short again? I just don't know and all those tumblr posts beautifying hair just makes me even more frustrated. Ugh. Like look at these:

 Yes, I just love red hair, especially these first three pictures. The ombre effect on the second just looks amazing. And the shades of red in the first and third picture looks good too, almost orange-y.

The colour of the hair above is very pastel-like and I most probably wouldn't dye such colours onto my hair because it wouldn't look good on me but it just looks so pretty here.

And purple hair too, I like the dip dye effect of this.

If I'm going to dye/highlight my hair, it would be either red or purple or teal. That's it. I won't give in to other colours. So, here are more pictures of teal dyed hair:

Highlighting your hair is so cool, like it gives people a peek-a-boo of the colour and also adds to the mysterious aura around you. Do you feel me? I think teal would be best highlighted on hair because red would be a bit too old fashioned and purple would be too emo-ish.

Today, 2nd Oct, I watched Princess Mononoke. 

It's a nice movie but I don't really like the male lead character because I have no idea which side is he on. He is being so indecisive and selfish. But in the end, it all works out, somehow. Well, the animation and music is awesome as always, Studio Ghibli is the best. 

Next, dinner with the secondary school peeps! Athirah, Xin Lin and Jessica! <3 I love them by tons and millions. 

And they gave me belated birthday presents! Ahhhhh. I feel like I'm about to cry already. 

 This is from Xin Lin and it's SUPER ADORABLE!

 This is from Jessica, there's even a handwritten card! I love handwritten cards!

And this is from beloved Athirah with lovely and sweet accessories!! ;)

We took a picture together but I guess I've to wait for the owner to upload the photos~ Anyway, I had a great time and it's never boring with you guys around. I really missed those times when we were in the same clique and hanging out together most of the times. 

I miss y'all a lot a lot.

I feel so lonely in poly..

I'm surprised you guys got me presents because I didn't get two of them any and the guilt is building up on me now. And so, I've decided that I'll definitely get you two presents next year! It's a promise I made to myself and I'm a man of my words! 

Now, I shall get back to Tumblr and trying to finish the Teen Titans series. :)

And happy Halloween month! 

Roushan Thing #1

Okay, okay, I'm finally back to blogging. I've been so damn lazy because it's the holidays and my days were just so boring that I didn't even feel like blogging it. -.- Despite the boring days, I try to make an effort to bring something interesting everyday. For example, shopping. Hehehehehe. 
So, my package from DressLink arrived a few days ago and it's quite a big parcel. 

Well, considering the amount of clothes that my friend and I ordered, this is quite reasonable. Hehe. The clothes were packed nicely into the plastic wraps and were sorted out accordingly inside the parcel. I'm satisfied with the green army coat & bralets & ripped shorts. However, the tank tops, which I thought were supposed to be loose, were actually quite tight-fitting and when I wore it, my tummy shows. 

Yes, I'm disappointed, but what can I do when I've already paid for it, right? I guess I just have to lose weight huh. Oh, talking about losing weight, I just lost weight by 3 words. Amazing right? Turns out the weighing scale in my house is spoiled and I've been taking the wrong measurements all along. I worried myself for nothing but I still wanna lose more fats (around my tummy area, thighs and face). 
Anyway, back to shopping since I'm such a shopaholic. I've bought about 6 more shirts and 1 pants from sale. 3 of the shirts are 3 for $28 and the other 4 are $10 each (CottonOn was having a sale, I just can't resist). And so, money were spent. The bright side is, I get more shirts to choose from and probably be more fashionable. Also, I'm planning to get a part-time job to earn back those money and pay off fees at the same time. Okay, I'm all motivated to work now! Yosh! 

Next, I've finished the Castle crystal puzzle my sister gave me for my birthday present! Here are the pictures: 

 This is the body of the castle which I had a hard time building because the pieces doesn't fit so perfectly. 

 The body of the castle + 4 side towers

The body of the castle + 4 side towers + the main tower

The completed version with the flags added to it! :)

And I complete this within one night, I feel a strong sense of achievement. Muahaha. I should get more crystal puzzles because I had so much fun building them.

Moving on, although I've been drinking lots of iced green tea latte lately,

 And these two cups of green tea lattes are from different times. Gosh.

I've also been drinking healthy fruit juices!

And I've also bought apples to eat when I hungry, this is to help me stop eating snacks whenever I'm craving for some. :) I think this is also sort of an accomplishment? I don't know, just felt like showing this part of me off. You're free to ignore me. Hahaa. 

 This Dorayaki from Four Leaves tastes so delicious and it really gives off the Doraemon feel. 

And this piece of cake from McCafe (I have no idea what it's called but my mum said they're not for sale anymore) tastes real good too! The brown part tastes like matcha green tea to me, and I like matcha green tea so it works wonders to me. Hehehe. 

Look at my perfectly bun-ed hair:

I'm so proud of myself because of this.
