I've Learned That...

             “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The end of another chapter...

I'm finally done with A-Levels! My last paper was on Monday and it went well~
The last few days has been fun and interesting. Compared to the days before that, anything can be labeled as interesting. LOL

On Monday right after our Economics paper, headed over to Midvalley for lunch with my friends! We also watched Now You See Me~ It was a great movie! I loved it and want to watch it again!
We walked around a bit after the movie while some of my friends went to shop for their prom dress~
I walked around the mall with Joon Tian and Zhixin and it was so nice to be able to talk to them. Due to exams, we havent had the time to really talk.
Kinda weird knowing that we wont be able to see each other anymore after this.
One and a half years... flew by just like that. I still rmb thinking how much longer i needed to go through all the exams and those lifeless days... and now, it's all over. I'm glad, obviously, that i finally get to have some fun, go on vacation and move back home!
This one and a half years has definitely gave me the chance to learn a lot, and grow a lot too. All the ppl that i've met during this period of my life, whether or not we'll be able to meet again in the future, have made a difference in my life. And all the memories are worth appreciating.
Originally, i planned to make a full blog post of an overview of my life as a college student, but now thinking about it, it wasnt very interesting although a lot has changed.


On Tuesday, i planned to sit in front of my laptop all day catching up on some stuff i've been missing out on due to exams. but there was a changed of plans~ Initially, i was suppose to just "accompany" Hueyying to Sunway Pyramid as she had some stuff she wanted to buy, but I ended up spending a lot too. *stabs myself*
There were just some stuff that i've wanted to get in a very long time but refrained to because i had to save money. I guess i just couldnt control myself that day. I was really happy with all my purchases though~ The satisfaction of shopping always makes ppl happy. : )

 i rmb i said i would not allow myself to buy anymore nail polishes this year but how do you expect me to walk into Beauty Credit when there's a Buy 2 Free 1 offer and not pick up something?!

I've always wanted a coral/orange colour and i've set my eyes on the one i bought for some time~

And i bought another glittery polish again. not surprising at all.

walked into Watsons and bought some basic make up items~

i planned to buy them when i go to HK but i couldnt resist it. some of them were on sale in Watsons~

btw, the L'oreal lipstick was a free gift (which cost rm35.50!), i thought i would like it but i dont... so i guess i'm gonna give it to my mum maybe. 

Yesterday, after lunch, Yongxuan and I sat at Starbucks while we attempted to get our itinerary for our Macau/HK trip done. We managed to get some of it done but it isnt fully done yet. It's just so hard to plan everything precisely when we're not sure of some stuff and cant get clear info about them online. so we kept saying, "唉 到时再看要怎样” but we cant be like that right? we'll end up wasting a lot of time deciding on stuff if we dont plan ahead. sigh... We'll need to spend some time figuring stuff out before we leave on Monday morning. On another note, I'm extremely excited and scared at the same time regarding this trip.
I just hope everything works out well~ and that we shouldnt worry too much because that will just make everything worst. I'm really excited to visit Macau though~!!! I've always wanted to go there. Maybe because i'm half Portuguese and a Catholic and also because of the Portuguese eggtarts! I cant wait to go back to HK again too! The last time i went, i didnt fully enjoy myself. and this time around, we're planning to go up to Victoria Peak at night! cant wait to witness the break-taking view of HK's skyline both from Victoria Peak and Victoria Harbour! also, cant forget about all the shopping malls and the food!
I know that it's gonna be extremely tiring and the weather is gonna be hot, but all in all, i hope it's gonna be fun!

Starbucks had a 50% offer on all frapps if you use a tumbler~ so i borrowed Hy's and got a Java Chip Frapp~ i havent had a Starbucks in ages that i've forgotten how much i like their Java Chip frapp.

I sometimes can find it hard to blog. Like i always say, i'm not good with words and there are so many times that i think way too much, worry way too much and end up not blogging about what i planned too because i was scared that no one cared or no one would understand. But, i'm trying. I'm trying to grow out of that phase of thinking and worrying too much. I'm always blogging in my head though... but i guess that doesnt count as blogging. hehe I have a whole list though, of things i want to blog about~ They are just short memos i made over the last few months. Some of them may or may not make their way into a blog post. I dunno. Maybe i'll just type them out in a memo-form, so that you guys can take a peek into my thoughts.

this is a screenshot i took months ago when i first dl-ed this cute Memo app i use~

I love it so much. it's now full of loads of random memos and lists i make everyday. 

I used to use an app called Wunderlist, it was a more organized app where you can tick off the stuff you've done but it wasnt as cute as this one!

A Letter To Dongwoon~ ❤

so here it is, once again.... : )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON DONG WOON~~~ 06.06.2013

Dear Dongwoon,

How should i start? It seems like i've mentioned everything i love about you already in tweets and previous blog posts. Or maybe i'm just kinda brain dead now to think about what to say.

Just like always, i need to mention how you and your gorgeous looking face changed my life. Those moments  when your photos (those photos look kinda embarrassing now when i look back kekekeke) caught my eyes on Tumblr and i just had to find out who you were. From then onwards, the endless road to being a B2uty commenced...

You were my bias from the beginning, although there are those days where Doojoon is so freaking handsome, or where Yoseob is so lovely (not forgetting how amazing Hyunseung, Junhyung and Kikwang are, i'm just lazy to think of adjectives right now hehe), that I start questioning myself why they didnt end up as my bias because i love them so much too but that's a problem every b2utys face, beast is just filled with bias-stealers (this isnt a word is it? but "thief" isnt the word i'm looking for)! I always wonder "what if" I decided to change my bias on one fine day... but somehow i couldnt imagine that happening. Maybe because i've been biased towards you for the last 3 years or maybe simply because you are my favourite~

Something i just have to mention, since the recent release of Will You Be Alright, i see so many B2utys praising you for how much you have improved (mainly musically) over the years, and it reminded me of how i've always liked your voice since the day i watched Beast perform a cover of Noel's Despite Holding On. Do not ask me how many times i've watched/ listened to that cover of Beast's, because i do not know. I sometimes just put it on replay for the whole day just because i want to hear that one part where you do the backgroud harmony/singing. I always knew you had the potential and in addition of your determination and hard work, you successfully proved to everyone that you are an amazing vocalist. I cant help but to be proud! From having near to no lines in the songs of Beast's first mini album to singing in the chorus of so many of Beast's songs now, you've come a long way. I always thought that it wasnt that you couldnt sing, it's just that you didnt even have the opportunity to let your audience to hear your voice! Now everyone hears your beautiful voice and are impressed by it. You really improved a lot in so many aspects, still lacking in dancing but that's okay, no one is perfect, although i must say, your face is. >___<

Over the years that i've liked kpop, there were so many times that i fell for so many other good-looking male idols. If you look back on my (embarrassing) old blog posts, you'd find that i always blogged about my new favourite idols that managed to catch my attention among the sea of boy group members. You know me, i always go for the good-looking ones, but... I always end up back with Beast and you. because at the end of day, it all comes down to talent and good personalities. and also improvements. there are just too many groups that i fell out of (or less) interest in because they were just boring. but with beast, you guys never fail to surprise fans. just your smile brightens up my day.

Lastly, I wish you the best in your studies! recently, you have been focusing more on your studies and havent been having many schedules and i've been bored not seeing any new updates of you. but i know, i just need to wait a little longer till Beast's comeback and i know it's gonna be worth the wait! Cant wait for you guys to show the whole world how awesome you guys are! humble and down to earth, these are the reasons i stayed by Beast's side for so long. Never stop being humble and i hope that you will get more opportunities to shine~

 photo time~!!!

yikes i'm kinda late again! I was procrastinating and I was too comfortable watching Youtube videos until i saw the time (10:43pm to be exact) and paused my video and came straight over to blog!
I reminded myself a million times that i shouldnt be late for Dongwoon's bday post but here i am again with my bad habits!
Anyways, as you know, i've been going through my A2 exams for the last few weeks and it has been... torturous. I dunno what exact word can fully describe how i feel about it.
and i havent been blogging much. it just havent been on the top of my priority list... Like how i put watching Youtube videos and clearing my files on top of. sigh....
I've promised myself that i'll blog once exams are over~ i hope i do keep to that promise!
A2 is gonna end soon. just in 3 days time.... it will all be over!!!
see you when i get my freedom back! adios~
