MCO 3.0 update and life lessons

 hello gorgeous people!!

im writing this at 8.46 am with about 4 hours of sleep in my system. i slept for a bit then woke up and had trouble falling back asleep again. i've been having trouble sleeping for the past weeks and today i think i know why. 

Earlier on i had thought that i was having too much screen time which is actually not good for assisting with falling asleep. I have been catching up with a lot movies since i just got a Disney+ account. there is much to update on the disney+ news but i think that would require a whole post on its own. coming up soon okay haha!

I have been having a lot of thoughts in my head especially at night when i'm trying to sleep. i mean i get a lot of thoughts too during the day but at least i can come up with an activity to distract me. phases like this happen a lot- when i constantly get overwhelmed by bad memories. 

today will be the day i get past that. previously the only way i dealt with the scary thoughts that keep me up was getting distracted. super early this morning around 6am, i thought of dealing with it through prayer. in the past when i would get paralyzed by bad memories, my mom was always close to me and i could just go to her and she would listen to me, hold me and give me the best advice in the world. now due to covid and travel restrictions i havent been able to be with her in more than half a year, 

Thankfully, i have the best boyfriend in the world and he is always trying his best to make me feel better and support me and protect me. he sticks by me when i get overwhelmed and i love him so much. at night though, im on my own. 

an idea that came to me today was that i can always pray about the bad thoughts, for healing over the bad memories. When painful memories flare up, they need to be healed and when you express that negative thoughts up to the Lord, it might get a little scary because you will think about it and feel all the traumatic emotions up on the surface again. dont be scared and surrender it to Him. I start with apologizing for not listening to His Word and that i need His help to be be more aware of my words actions to make sure i dont repeat any of my past mistakes. Then i pray for healing over the memory. Here was my prayer this morning:

Lord Jesus, I feel so ashamed for not obeying Your Word and I am overwhelmed with so much guilt and I dont know how to deal with it . Lord I ask for Your forgiveness Father. i know it is wrong to gossip and say negative words about people. Lord i know father that I should not have spoken rudely about my ex-manager nor should i have spread gossip about her ,that is not my place to speak about or judge. Father please help me to be more sensitive to Your Holy spirit. Lord help me remove anything in my life that is a barrier for me from listening to Your voice. Lord I need so much of You. Please help me to be more aware that my words and actions carry consequences. Lord I pray that the meditations of my heart and the words from my mouth will be pleasing to You. Lord you are my Rock and my Redeemer. Please forgive me Father. Amen!

my heart is calmer now that i have prayed this. the bad memories are actually from events that happened recently, almost 2 months ago when i befriended a person who was a very negative influence. Praise the Lord that i have cut ties with that toxic person. This is a prayer i found online to break any ties with a bad person:

Heavenly Father, you created us for a relationship. Lord, I meet and interact with different people each day, but not all of them have their hearts in the right place. Some people are agents of the enemy that is why I come to you, Father, asking you to help me discern godly souls from ungodly ones. Lord, I break evil soul ties with agents of the enemy that I have interacted with unknowingly. I renounce every covenant and agreement that I have made with these people, in the name of Jesus. I purify myself with the blood of Jesus and declare that I am completely free. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.

Hope this helps anyone out there! you can find more prayers here!

.

I have matured from the experience. I am thankful to always have my family with me as i learn my way through life. I am Loved. 

day 3 malaysia quarantine

hello gorgeous people. i dont think ive ever done a post at midnight before so this is super exciting. im also using a super work laptop with gaming mouse so im fancy hehe. ive been keeping my eye close on the news as are many people recently. the covid 19 thing is super scary but not everyone understands just how scary it is. some people like to compare it with other diseases with higher death rates then say that their immunity will carry it through so they have no worries. like i get that dengue prolly infects more people but this virus is new, governments have no idea how to deal, its airborne and spreading hella fast and there's crazy symptoms that dont have standard treatments yet so please everyone just take precautions and be hygienic. its elementary that people should cover their faces when they cough or sneeze and people should also wash their hands often especially after touching a public surface. everyone just please dont be gross and keep clean. wear a mask.
malaysia just declared a movement control order, forcing everyone into quarantine for a fortnight but honeslty it may have been a bad idea. more people are travelling now since the issuing. it hasnt helped with the number of cases too. also right now im not sure if theres a ban on interstate travel or nah cause policies are seeming to be changing every moving minute. but if the decision that was bugging me a bunch was the one to stop e learning. yes, it doesnt make sense to cancel since its online anyway but i dont think its fair to have people worrying about grades while some have to think about their survival. also online systems are usually shaky. also uni classes suck, the education system is the worst plague on humanity.
anyways we're well into day 3 of the quarantine an ive been keeping myself entertained. on the first night me and my mantao had an origami date. we made cranes which my cat proceeded to eat. yesterday was the first night there was a police patrolling our housing area and it really scared it. theres now an imposed curfew of 8pm every night. we re super staying indoors. today mantao taught me mandarin and i like it so we 'll be keeping it up. tmr we'll be making a youtube video so you can stay tune for that. i want our cat to be featured in this so imma keep hopes up that she'll be back for breakfast tmr.
its getting late. see you later alligator

life update

hello georgeous people. its been a busy day today and i honestly would need to sleep for a month to catch up on lost sleep. 

i love myself and life in every aspect (other than the schooling aspect) has been really fantastic. i started an Instagram account for the cat that me and my mantao and are taking care of. her name s  Georgina and she is the cutest stray in the whole wide world. she s about a year old and her coat is white with grey and black patches. her collar is red and she hates it and always bites at it. she s also the hottie of the street and there is always some male cat out there trying to hump her. her instagram account is @littlegeorginapoo and she s got a fanbase building up. 

mantao and i met her when we first moved to the new room and on the first day, she jumped in through the window, from the balcony, into the room. thats where it all started. she kept coming back and soon we buying cat food and cat shampoo and bringing her out for playdates with other pedigree cats. she's our cat now and we love her and all her antics. we thought she was pregnant many times before but over time we discovered she was just fat. we wouldnt have her any other way 🐱

everyone else is doing super too! PTL! i have so much fun when im with the fam, my mantao and my cat. i love myself. 

its late and tomorrow is super long day so i need all the rest i can get. welcome March!! see you guys soon okay. laters aligator 💓💓💓

happy Valentine's Day 2020

hello gorgeous peopleeee!! happy belated valentine's day. i hope all of you get to spend a super special time with your loved ones this valentines. enjoy the flowers, the chocolates but most importantly, cherish the company and the memories.
yesterday i celebrated with a trip to taiping. it's kinda like ipoh just waayyy more under developed and with a lot more elderly people. we left for taiping a little bit behind schedule but the car ride was super fun and we went through a tunnel and had a super spotify playlist.
the drive was on a super spirally road and we passed long stretches of just mountains and hills. we reached taiping around lunchtime and we went straight to meet our friends and we all grabbed lunch together and i had a bowl of noodle soup. driving through taiping was really really stressful. it was like all the old people are driving with their eyes closed cause theyve given up on everything else. super butt clenching drive.
once we ate we went to WonderFarm Mushroom farm. mushrooms are not my favourite food ever and touching it is like touching wet sponge sometimes. but there are times where im in the mood for mushrooms like when my mom cooks it or when its in super small pieces that requires minimal chewing. but my mantao is super into mushrooms and he knows so much about them too.
one day he's going to have a mushroom farm and its going to be far superior than the one we toured on the taiping trip. i cant wait to see it! also during then i would have a lot more mushrooms in my diet but i'll like it.
then we went to an agropark. this agro park was relatively new but there was nothing much to see but maybe it was more of a night attraction cause it was too sunny to get any good pictures. one fun thing we got out of the agro park was, we got to feed koi fish and turtles and watch them squirm and worm in the pond. it was fun and it reminded me of when i was a kid and my parents would bring me and my sister out to a really fun park in ipoh, DR park. we would go have picnics there and when we had any bread left over, we would feed them to the fish in the pond there too. fish love their bread.
our last stop was a Spritzer eco park tour but it started raining by then so we couldnt walk around but the plus side was they have a cafe in there and we sat there just eating and chilling. there was a mini-golf golf course that we could see in a distance but we couldnt fully see everything cause of the rain. the food at the cafe was so-so but it was a fun hang out and the view in the rain was relaxing.
we left taiping at 6pm and there were horrible drivers on the road then too. there are too many heavy buses and trucks and motorcycles speeding around on the highway like theyre the only ones there. but thankfully we made it back safe and sound.
i hope all you guys had fun valentines experiences too. good night world. see you soon

Chinese new year 2020

Hullo gorgeous people! it is the eve of Chinese New Year and i am super exited for tonight. the fam has been planning a super hot pot dinner for a while now and its finally happening tonight. theres soup boiling now in the kitchen and we have so many of my favourite fish balls and veggies lined up. we reached ipoh yesterday around the evening and we did some spring cleaning too.
the house is super stacked with snacks and drinks and ive been eating so many of them. i like really cripsy stuff so all the deep fried fish snacks and nuts are really nice to have around. im also a huge fan of mandarin oranges and im super good at peeling them. if there were a contest for orange peeling i'd win it for sure.
since its a festive season, there hasnt been much to do out of the house. plenty of stores are closed and the malls are beyond crowded. sometimes shopping crowds get really rowdy too. plus, theres an influenza virus spreading, thats super dangerous. i do realise that in public a lot of people dont know the proper etiquette when it comes to coughing or sneezing so its best just to stay home. stay safe, everyone. i strongly recommend not leaving the house actually. home base is the safest.
ive been catching up on my rest and i didnt know how much i needed it. university life is tiring. with the extra time on my hands ive actually been reflecting on life. sometimes it gets a little scary so i try not to do it so much. it's a new year, im turning 22, super close to when people have that quarter life crisis. im already 2 years into my second decade and i have no idea how the time just passed me by.
i like to keep busy and channel all my energy into positive thoughts. ive been saying. 'i love myself' a lot cause i feel all giggly when i say it. it may sound a bit narcissistic but i think i'd rather love myself than hate myself (something i learned about from a netflix show actually). when i say it im also reminded of how blessed and how loved i am. ive even planned a surprise valentines gift for myself this year. i cant wait to do a valentines day post.

im super thankful for this laptop that mom and dad got me this year. its the coolest laptop ever and i get to watch netflix, play games, and write my blog post on it. it's been keeping me entertained a bunch. but i also have to use it for school stuff. and a lot of school stuff too since theres so many assignments and presentations to do. i really like gaming and i have a game in my head that im gonna target next. its called Overcooked and it seems really fun. i watched some streams and its so funny. i really wish i could do super cool streams too but i think i need a lot of fancy camera equipment. i used to like watching mukbangs and i wanted to stream mukbangs then when i watch gamers stream, i wanna stream myself playing games. the constant is that i really wanna try it. its a signnnn... i have to do it someday. i really miss making youtube videos actually. i promise i'll get back to making videos soon too. my pink camera is the cutest.
yesterday i had a super fun family lunch💓. i wish i made a youtube video from that. we had yee sang and really nice tea. i was really excited about that lunch. it was the first yee sang we had this year but i was excited for more reasons than that. its almost dinner and i should get ready.
see you later alligator.

happy 2020!!

hullooo you gorgeous people!! this will be my first post of the year 2020 so i'll be wishing yall a happy new year a little bit late. HAPPY NEW YEAR. 😇
2019 went by pretty quick but thats okay cause ill be looking positively forward toward the future. i didnt do much to celebrate the new year but i did have a sushi party and a pizza party and it was super. i didnt do a post for the whole month of December last year but that was because i was so intensely busy. i had finals and family stories happening. i wont talk about it much but i will say good news is that everyone's fine and healthy now👏. that month was a really big month of maturing for me. i had to study for finals, do so much traveling by train on my own and it was also the first time i drove to KL on the highway. i also had the least contact with family at this point. everyone was going through something so i had to take care of myself, my meals, making sure i eat veggies, stay hydrated and also financing all my groceries and travel costs. im thankful that i was able to be there for everyone as well as maintain my own health.

a new semester will start about a week from now and im looking forward to my new classes. this holiday has been a quiet one. i didnt go on any trips but im enjoying spending time with my mantao. im always going to remember how blessed i am to have him. driving me places, encouraging me when i feel like a potato and taking care of me when i dont feel well. this year was the first time in my life that i spent christmas on my own. i was sick with an ear infection and the antibiotics didnt help until the last dose. i felt cold, dizzy and i couldnt eat. when the headache was too much to bear, my mantao called at just the right moment and i felt better once we talked. the day after christmas he came to find me all the way from a trip he was on.

my safety 💓

right now my mantao and i are resting up as much as we can before the rush of the new sem kicks in. we're playing a bunch of computer games and ive come to like it maybe a bit too much. there are a few games that i wanna write so much about but i think i'll save that to make a whole post about it. i like cute, farming games and the one that im playing all day right now is Stardew Valley. it is the most fast paced farming game ever and its so much fun. i tried playing the mantao's favourite game, Overwatch, a couple nights back and there was so much yelling involved. it was fun to finally try it out but i dunno if i can play it on a regular basis. 

other than gaming we have also unofficially adopted 2 stray cats. these cats were hungry and they made too much noise around the house so we decided to feed them- George and Georgina. Georgina is actually a preggo cat so we're reading up on how to care for her and the kittens. we feed them twice a day and play with them when they start screeching for attention. there are more stary cats around and as much as we would like to feed them too, our resources are limited and we dont wanna make our cats jelly. 

i havent made any new years resolutions but i wanna make sure that this year i will pay more attention to my health. physical and mental health alike. also i promised someone that this year i would start tracking my finances haha. i will chose to move forward in the year with happiness and love. 

time to say goodnight. see you later alligator.

new asus vivobook laptop and big eyes

hello gorgeous people, I'm writing this blog from the mantao's computer again but i actually have a new laptop. Thanks to my super cool daddy who picked out the world's best laptop for me.💝 i just got my asus vivobook A412 last weekend and it's a classy grey clour that i love. for a long while, I had problems with getting my Microsoft office 2013 to work on my new laptop and i just got them resolved this morning. my office licence was a permanent one and i didn't know how to transfer them to my new laptop even after deleting it off my old laptop. this morning it all worked out and im so happy to have that finally resolved.
i love this laptop! it unlocks with a fingerprint sensor and its so lightweight. the frame around the screen is so slim so you get most out of the 14''. the keyboard lights up so it has that super cool gaming computer vibe but i turned that off for now cause i have it feeling itll drain my battery and i can see the keys just as well. the memory is pretty big so if i wanted to game itll totally work out for me. i actually have a few games already downloaded. one i really like is iron snout and its about a ninja pig fighting off blade-wielding wolves.\
so far ive been using the laptop for watching my netflix and the graphics are all super good and the sound too. i havent tried using the webcam yet but i will get that tested soon when i try streaming.
today i had a little bit of a late start cause i was just so exhausted that i only woke up when my mantao called me. we also went out to breakfast today and got noodles. its been a while since we had a breakfast date actually and i had a lot of fun💓
we did a bunch of chores too like getting food, changing a broken container and getting the car cleaned. im so thankful that mantao accompanies me on these errand trips because its sometimes a lot to deal with on my own with parking and carrying stuff in and out. he does get tired sometimes and i understand because hes been so busy with his schoolwork. im so blessed.
mantao s also not feeling well this week cause he has an eye infection. hes on antibiotics and getting better now and the swelling has gone down. his eyes were actually big and hurting a few weeks ago but it went off after he used some eyedrops. it came back and we got it checked. he will get better soon, in time for our super road trip to kl this weekend. its been a while since we ve done a trip and he deserves a fun, relaxing time for all his hard work and effort hes been putting into his mushroom thesis. i'll keep finding ways to do surprises for him cause i really like doing it💓💓💓im so excited. i need to get on pinterest nowww....
see you later alligator.

laptop and bird problems

hello gorgeous people!! im doing this post on a whole new setting. my laptop totally gave up on me like a week back so now im depending on my mantao's computer and maybe the PC's in the library. i kinda like my mantao's computer cause its big and the tippy tappy sounds of this super keyboard makes me feel like im using an old typewriter thing and the lights are pretty cool too.
so i was halfway through an assignment when suddenly there was a black stripe across my screen and turning it off and on didnt get rid of it. i took it to an asus service center but they said it would cost 450 and take about a week to get it fixed. my laptop is about 5 years old right now and maybe its time to get a new one but i really liked my asus zenbook. i bought it just before my GCSE exams and i i studied so hard and got really good grades so i thought it was a lucky laptop. also i have butterfly stickers on it and i like them cause i got them on a butterfly farm trip with my dad.
i managed to get my assignment done and soon i will need to get slides done too. ive been looking into new laptops now and i havent found one in particular that i like yet. i dont have many requirements for a new laptop cause its mostly for work and messaging and streaming but i dont game and need all the fancy speed stuff.
today in particular i really missed my laptop cause i really wanted to edit a video i just filmed. its a mukbang of me eating a giant pizza jelly. i guess ill just put pause on that for a while. but i will get back to it.
theres a lot of stuff ive been meaning to do but i havent got to it yet. like i really wanted to start a scrapbook and learn more origami and get into candle making but i havent done any of them yet. i started with searching up places where i can either get bees wax or soy wax but theyre kinda hard to find. also i really want to do a puzzle but i left all of them in ipoh and i wont be going back for at least another fortnight. i like doing puzzles and i love reading but thats also on pause. for now i guess what i have going on is netflix and i really appreciate sissy for paying for our monthly netflix💓
this sem is a slight bit slow going cause my regular baby shark gang isnt here so i did freak out over finding an assignment group but im so blessed that for both my subjects i have managed to find groups easily and with people i sorta know and they were nice to invite me into their groups.
another thing thats been going on with school is the whole utar ambassador thing.
so last wednesday i was supposed to be on duty to bring a bunch of china students on a campus tour but when i opened my door to leave my house, there was a scary bird perched on the door grill. if i moved the wooden door to go out, the bird would fly in. i tried so hard to shoo it away; i used a broom, i threw the baby firecrackers at it and i played gunshot sounds on my phones but it was like a stoned bird and nothing freaked it out. i tried making a run for it and it came so close to me i cried. also i left the car keys in the house so i couldnt get to class. my mom really came through for me. she drove home all the way back from work to get rid of the bird for me. she really is the strongest woman i know. i was crying and she kept calm and told me that she would handle it for me. i am so blessed.
often times its easy to forget that you have been so blessed with so much and act out all ungrateful and brat-ish. but then you can always come back from it and redeem yourself. i really really needed my mom to be with me that day with the bird and im so blessed that no matter what happens, regardless of anything and through it all. she will always be there for me and i hope i will be able to do the same for her.
right now shes on an amazing adventure and i cant wait to tell you all about it but its late now and i need to sleep cause i have a class tomorrow.
talk soon guys. laters alligator.

your 20's are for you to figure shyt out

hello gorgeous people!! it is a cold monday morning and it actually has been raining so much in the past weeks. im actually a fan of this weather except for the part where there might be a flash flood during this time.
so much has been going on lately. i think my last post should be scraped off since i am not actually moving back to ipoh. it took time to realise that i dont actually like ipoh as much as i said i did. the thing is, when i moved back, it occured to me that my life isnt based in ipoh and i have nothing going on for me there. Sure we own a house, but i dont know any people in ipoh. my life's all settled in kampar for now. the first week of my stay in ipoh was so hard on me. im so thankful that my dad was there to help me acclimatize to the new environment in ipoh. happy happy
despite that i found it hard to live in ipoh. other than my dad i had no one around. it was always silent around me and it was so scary staying alone and being left with your own thoughts. in the internship office there was no one to talk to and when i came home the lack of company continued and that loneliness is so emotionally draining. maybe some people will interpret this as me being needy or immature or attention seeking. but theres a reason why people in solitary confinement almost always lose their sanity.
im most thankful for my mantou💓 who was always encouraging me throughout the hardest of days. ill always remember all the things he would say to me when i would call him crying, straight out bawling my eyes out. thank you for all the sacrifices you made me for me bb. and thank you for always prioritizing my happiness.💓

over the weekend i did a lot of thinking and i decided i cant continue with the ipoh move for another 3 months. my spine was killing me from the life i was living in ipoh. i needed to see a doctor so bad and when i did, i got a needle in my ass and was so close to getting admitted to the hospital and getting an MRI. with scoliosis, im not a stranger to getting x rays and being poked and prodded all over but i was hearing of the possibility of doing an mri for the first time. i  know people only get it when they have concussions and that sometimes people's teeth fall out after the mri.
i got a doctors letter for my university and a 2 week MC to get off any office work or whatever. also im under so many meds and theyre muscle relaxants so they get me all groggy.
if all my paperwork with the hospital and the uni goes through, i should be out of my internship by this week. so i guess im extending my study. im strangely okay with that fact. a year ago i was obsessed with completing my study on time and i said that by hook or by crook i would never extend my stay in kampar. with me postponing my internship itll take an extra 3 months to graduate and im bummed but i know its not the end of the world. people grow up at different speeds. the 3 years of uni is just a guideline. there are people who have figured out their whole lives by 22, played everything by the book, stayed right on the tracks. like sissy (nerd). but there is no fault in swerving off the course and letting things play out on its own. i remember a rant i posted after my a levels, about how stupid standardized tests are and how we rate our future based off the scored but theyre nothing other than random numbers given by luck and circumstance. i know that regardless how hard it gets, i will graduate. ive always given my best shot and im not going to slow down based on a bad lecturer, or a bad grade or a bad experience. and im not gonna stay bummed about the extra 3 months because what's 3 months more in a uni compared to 30 years youll prolly spend working in the field and whats 5 years of studying compared to 50 years of a fulfilling, content life.
(it's wednesday night now) the sem is gonna start next monday and im just enjoying the last few days of sem break before all the nerding up starts again. i think i'll prolly plan a picnic trip or something fun. the last week really took a toll on me and my skin started acting up. i woke up this morning and there were red patches on my left cheek and that really freaked me out. im happy that i got it checked out and and treated so it's less red now. i have the best chauffeur in the world💓, who took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to bring me to get checked and also driving me around regardless the weather. im the happiest girl. home really is where love is.

three days before i move to ipoh

hello gorgeous people!! blogging is super cool thats why im back. ive been watching a lot of how i met your mother recently, me being on sem break and all and im super pumped that blogging comes up a lot in the show. im not sure if blogging counts as social media but i much prefer spending my time on my blog than on my Fb or ig accounts. im actually not on either of those sites now haha.
im always most bloggy when im on sem breaks but this time my holiday is shorter than normal because my coming sem is an internship. thats why i'll be moving back to ipoh for 3 months. i dont know how i feel about it though... i was super excited for all the shopping of the work clothes and snacks for my stay in ipoh but now i dont actually feel anything, its kinda like, 'oh well, lets get this over with'. i mean its just an internship. i have to move back to ipoh where ill have a house to myself but lets be real, i dont live in the world's safest neighborhood. the street lighting is bad, there's always dodgy people rounding the place at night and the only security i have is a small rusty gate that might as well not even be there. even our locks dont work. well, at least we have wifi. i would get a guard dog if i werent so afraid of dogs and preferred the tiny ones you carry around in a cute purse.
so the company im with is a jewelry retail place and i think its super that i got it because i really like shiny stuff and omg i want so many diamondsss hahaha.

BOUGHT NEW WORK SHIRTSSS

for the remainder of my stay in kampar, it's gonna be a lot of cleaning up, packing and just sleeping. i have been sleeping a lot to conserve my energy and just catching up on all the sleep i lost during finals season. i did have a lot of all nighters. maybe i'll do a youtube video if i feel like it. but for now its been a lot of netflix and sleep. also a lot of eating too.

ALSO I CUT MY HAIR 

i realised that i havent had a post up since my birthday and i can say so much has happened since i turned 21. ive had close friends graduate, ive had conflicts with people im not acquainted with anymore and ive had one or two car accidents and also many a meltdown due to academic stress.

HAPPY CONVOOOO

regardless of everything thats happened, im still labeling 21 as my best year yet because it's also the year i found someone special to go through all that girl drama with me. im so blessed to have my baby mantou. thanks for always being there for me and for everything you do to make me super happy 💓💓💓

life update (21st birthday)

Hello gorgeous people! its been super long since my last post and so much has been up! i'm done with most of my school work for now so i decided its timeeee. i keep trying to recall what super fun things ive had going for me since my absence and honestly other than my birthday, i havent been doing much.

Speaking of my birthday, IM OFFICALLY 21 NOW GUYSSSS. SUPER FUNNN!! being an adult is a huge responsibility and im really enjoying life as it happens. i feel good about being at this age at this point in my life. now i can vote for government, go to bars and drink in public and i think i should invest in property soon! Yay ADULTHOOD. 

on my birthday, dinner was a super simple cause it was weekend and no one booked any plans so we were super spontaneous. we went to a restaurant in a mall and i got pasta and it was yummy! then we went to get cheese cake because i like cheese cake especially creme brule cheese. ahh 

we walked past a puzzle store and sissy got me a fun, little puzzle to do cause i love doing puzzles a lot and it was so much fun to do. it was a really cute design too, a disney tsum tsum one.

After one mall, we hit up the mall next door for some ice cream. we went to haagen dazs for ice cream and i got us a chocolate fondue and it was so good!! we had sides of mini ice cream balls, sides of fruit, brownies and cookies. it was a really fun time with the fam.

also what's been happening is i recently extracted two of my wisdom teeth and am now recovering from that too. it just got really painful one day and i was like in my room, feeling like death and crying so hard. the pain was only on my left side so i had both upper and lower wisdom teeth removed. it had to be don one by one so the top went off first since the lower one had an infection. a bit later the bottom one came off and it was harder than the first since there were stitches involved. during these two weeks, i couldnt eat solids so i lost a bunch of weight which im now getting back. it was an experience tho.

im gonna go rush to a class now. see you later alligator.

Unicorn cake!! ipoh!

Hello gorgeous people!!! hahaha i know it's been a while but i have been super busy with school and so much drama like its so tiring. i managed to catch a break yesterday during an internship interview. i had to catch a train to Ipoh yesterday and it was super fun and the interview went well! after the interview, me and my friends went to get cake and it was the cutest place ever. it was a themed cafe and their specialty is the unicorn cakes. I had a mini one and it was the best cheese and jam cake ever!! they had a lot of really cute stuff on their menu like mermaid cake and a boba lava cake. and the drinks looked really good too but we didnt get any.

The decor of the cafe is all pink and they had so many cute back drops and props for photoshoots. LOVE.

the 3 pictures below are my favorite. i really had fun. gotta dash. see you later, alligator.

Penang Trip with the fam!!

hello gorgeous people!! i know it's been a long time and i miss being on this blog but i have a super title this time and it's about my birthday trip with my family to Penang!! this trip was to celebrate mine and my dad's birthday and it was such a nice trip!

We stayed at Mansion One Hotel and it was a pretty decent hotel except for the registration counters. we booked a studio suite and it was pretty fancy with a kitchenette, a dinning table, a tv section and two queen beds. it was nice but i do wanna comment on their disorganized check in and check out systems. they only had two staff behind counters and they kept disappearing to find their own missing staff. check in at 3 took us an hours wait and the line of people waiting to check it was a long line through a stuffy corridor.

The first night there we had dinner at a food court somewhere along tanjung bungah and it was a big one. it's called Viva and there we had our first serving of char kuey teow, fried oyesters and fish ball soup. sissy then saw this stall selling special apom and we liked it. it was apom with egg, coconut and brown sugar all together. it was super.

then we went to this fancy, container, night market. it was called CUBOPARK and it was just so-so, just overpriced hipster food.

SOME PLANTS

The next day we went back to tanjung bungah for breakfast and i had the nicest bowl of fish bowl soup at a corner coffee shop that was across a super busy market. the breakfast was a good one to get us going for our beach adventure after that. parking in batu ferringhi is a nighmare but we found this private parking spot and for five bucks we were all set for our big beach trip.

FAMILY BEACH TIME 

That evening i met up with a friend for tea and he took me to this cafe called China House and we had really good cake and coffee in the most adorable cafe ever. it was classy, with a small art gallery going on up on the second floor. we then walked around the congested, touristy area around the cafe and i had this cute pic with some art and murals.

For me and dad's birthday dinner, we had reservations at The Wine Shop, this classy place in Tanjung bungah. it was the most classy diner ever!! they had wine bottles stacked floor to ceiling and they even had those sliding ladders you see in grand libraries. the menu was impressive and i liked that they had little prawn crackers to nibble on while you drank.

After dinner, we had planned to get some burgers and hotdogs at a nearby store but it was closed so we drove to Gurney Drive for crepes. it was a cozy house turn cafe, called the crepe cottage and it was my second time there. we ordered two and shared them and it was the funnest time ever!! i need to get some dinner now. but ill be back soon. laters my alligators

super fun week in kl with my daddy!!!

hello gorgeous people!! i'm back in my super secret location after the most fun week of my holiday in KL. i was there since the sem break started but school will reopen again next monday and i think it's too soon. the last sem was a tough one with most of my subjects being killer subjects but thank God i made it through and im super happy. i plan on taking it easy next sem with only five subjects so i can spend more time on this blog too! yay!! 

during my week in kl i bought new clothes, ate good food and watched a couple of movies. clothes and movies will get their own separate post later but now i really want to talk about the foodddd!! the best memory i have with my daddy this holiday is when he took me to burger lab for the first time. it was so cool! ive always wanted to go and we finally did and the burgers were soooo good!! we had a lot of good food this time round but burger lab with my dad was the coolest! i took a bunch of pics but they all went missing and i was super upset about that. i still wanna talk about it though.

i got to do all the ordering and the menu was the coolest ever. each burger had cute names so i went for the cutest ones i could see. i had a beef burger called, The Juicy Lucy and it was so yummy and big too. there was bacon wrapped around the patty and hot melted cheese in the middle of the patty. i remember it squirted on my face when i bit into it and it was so funny. daddy had a chicken burger, an Ivysaur and it was the best burger my dad could get cause my mom's name is Ivy haha!! it was good but the egg in it made it soggy and i found the batter a bit to salty.

MY FAV MEMORY 

 the first meal i had in this kl trip was actually in Shah Alam. sissy took me to this cafe and i loved it!! mainly because they had waffles and waffles are everything!! the name of the cafe confused me a bit cause it was the same name as a popular clothing brand so they could be the same company trying to branch out. look how yummy my peach waffles look!! the toast and eggs were good too.

PEACH WAFFLES ARE EVERYTHING 

My mom joined my dad and i in kl for the weekend and took us out on a super fun family meal at Naught Nuris. its our favourite place to get ribs! the food and the ambiance were all amazing! the restaurant is an indonesian food specialty place so their menu is like a cross of indonesian flavours and western dishes. i need to talk about their ribs cause they are like the best ribs in the world. its sweet and spicy and the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. ah! the sauce is so good too! so syrupy! we like their fried noodles and rice too cause they come with more pork and crispy toppings. the salad was bomb too cause they topped it with extra crispy pork skin.

FANCY INDOMIE😘

 i did a lot of fun things this time round in KL but i didnt manage to get a vlog done cause i didnt pack my camera but i guess i can save that for another trip. during this trip i managed to get mt two favourite snacks. one has been a long time favourite of mine and the other, a new snack i discovered. i have always liked bubble tea and Koi has been my favorite for a long time. the golden bubble pearl milk tea is the best and i managed to get mine in Midvalley. yay!
my new discovery is the fun franks from nathans and i loved it!! you get to pick between beef or chicken sausages and then it gets dunk in batter and then deep fried on a skewer! how fun!! it was crispy and like a deep fried sausage bun so yummy!! they had a pretty extensive menu but the sausages were so yummy! also gotta love their fries! their fries are so thick and you can get them plain or with an assortment of cheesy toppings. i got really happy when i found out they came with a super cute fries fork. its a special red stick just for eating fries. the fork is somewhere in my bag and when i get it i'll post a picture.
its friday today and i just found out that i managed to get car sticker for the coming sem that starts on monday. yay!! it's actually lunch time right now and im going to get something to eat. laters alligator 💓💓💓

my attempt at organization

hello gorgeous people!! i know its been a while since i had an update and i missed updating you guys so here's whats been up. it's getting towards the end of the semester so very clearly busy busy busy!! but among my busy study schedule, i have been looking forward to tell you guys about me trying to get more organized. it started off with my underwear. i bought a 16 slot underwear organizer that is so cute and pink and it keeps up with the pink theme of my room. i got this online on lazada and thought it was pretty cool especially for rm 6 during a sale. the hanger didnt come with it so what youre seeing is the one i slipped in to hang in my cupboard.

the next thing i got was a watch display case. i decided i needed one when i took a long time to decide which watch matched my outfit of the day and then finding where i put them. also they kept falling off my tiny dresser. i ordered this through a friend and honestly i have no regrets. it looks so so cool and i like the shiny aluminium base and the cool glass display window. classy is what it is! look at it!

the last thing i got was so cool i ordered two, one for me and one for my mom!! we are both big fans of accessories especially earrings so it make sense that we got these. it's a cute, clear, plastic box with 3 drawers for your earrings and necklaces. i actually dont have enough earrings to fill up all the slots but i do plan on having it filled by semester break. shopping time! earrings actually do wonders for framing your face and it makes you look so girly its amazing! i saw it on shoppee and knew i had to have it. its actually a lot easy to use like any storage drawer except this one is so cute! 

so these are the 3 organizers that i have gotten and im thinking off getting a shoe organizer next. i have to get my dinner now. see you later alligator 💓

FIVE FEET APART REVIEW

hello gorgeous people!! my update schedule has been a bit backed up cause ive just been crazy busy and when im not busy im crazy lazy. this week is a pretty relaxed week school wise since most classes have already ended in preparation for finals. 

this post is gonna be about a book i read a couple weeks back, Five Feet Apart, by like 3 authors i havent heard of before until this book. the title didnt really call our to me but i got interested once i watched the trailer and saw my teen crush, Cole Sprouse!!! AHHH he's so so soo good in Riverdale!! i was gonna watch the movie with my sister but we couldnt get tickets and so i bought the book intead. to be perfectly honest, i didnt have very high expectations because i kept hearing that it was like the ugly twin of The fault in our Stars. i love the fault in ours stars so much that if i were only able to watch one movie for the rest of my life, it'd be the one. i remember crying in the cinema watching TFIOS and then getting cake after that, still drenched in tears. it was such a good movie.

if i had any positive expectation though, id be incredibly disappointed. for starters, i dont like books that changes the narrator every chapter. one moment we're seeing things in Stella's point of view and the next we're looking at Will's. plus, do you hear how cheesy the character's names are?!

like most romance novels, theyre both dying teenagers, here to teach us to appreciate what we've got going for us and that true love conquers all. maybe if i were a 9 year old i'd like it and not to say that im skeptical about feeling and shyt but like, some people should really get over themselves.

the storyline was a bit to draggy and slow going, not exactly my style. but the worst thing for me was the ending. goodness, the ending made me want to rip my hair out! how unrealistic is it to throw your whole future away for a guy you just met and barely know. if she hadnt gotten the transplant, id rip the book apart. also, i was too steamed about that to get mad at the cliffhanger ending. so they got over each other in 8 months and finally meet again by complete coincidence. what was that?!?! do they get back together? no? well we wouldnt know. but what i do know that it's a window for a sequel and im not so sure if thats going to be the smartest way for me to blow my money. 

Ive got to get back to my school work now and i think i'll be filming a youtube video later. haha see you later alligator

weekend adventure to KL

hello gorgeous people!! this post comes a bit late but i have been crazy busy and i think im bound to get busier in the coming few weeks. to take a break from my crazy uni life, i treated myself to a trip to KL last weekend. i took a train right after i aced my ecommerce test in the morning. the trip there was fine except that i was on a seat next to an old dude who kept his legs spread so wide it was too close to me for comfort. like i need a personal space barrier!!!! i reached on time, got on an lrt and then had a super yummy dinner with my dad. we had hokkien fried noodles with lala soup and fried noodles is like my favourite thing like EVER!! it was so good and it was my first time having lala soup and i LOVED it!! it was a tiny weenie bit spicy cause of the chili padi and ginger but the lala was plump and fresh and the soup was sweet from the goji berries so it was super good!! i had ice cream with fruit too after dinner. 

the next day i woke up later than usual probably cause of all the travelling i did the day before. it was too late to go get a croissant breakfast that i like so i went to a coffee shop that sold something similar but it wasnt as good. but i had a pretty good bowl of beef noodles with really tender meat slices. 

we went to 1 utama after that and i was super excited to get my all time favourite bubble tea, Koi!!! its the best but you can only get it in kl so i always make sure i get my fill. i love their pearls. i also shopped around and got earrings and a pair of gudetama socks.

I went to a different mall later that night, Atria, and i wanted to get some food that my friend and i could do a youtube video with but there was nothing interesting for a food challenge. i like KL supermarts in shopping malls tho, the variety is endless. and thats how were able to get this brand of luncheon meat that we like, golden bridge. the best canned meat there ever was! 

on my last day i woke up bright and early because sissy was gonna take me out to breakfast to the actual OG croissant place and good thing we went early too cause the parking was good and so was the table. i had a ham and cheese croissant with roti kahwin on the side. then we went to the mall for a while and i bought some clothes from Cotton On which were on sale and they were so so cute and so so cheap. honestly i have got to start talking about my style and clothes soon. i have so many style tips and accessories i want to talk about. i could yak about it forever so that will take time but it's coming soon yalls!

maybe it'll come sooner than you'd think. i have to go take a nap now, this new gelato scented candle i got from Bath and Body Works is making me sleepy. see you later alligator

Welcoming our latest addition to the family

Hello gorgeous people!! it's a sunny Sunday and i have just taken a nice cold shower after completing my chores. its a pretty warm day and ive been hearing a lot about a super intense heatwave going around malaysia. take care guys! water's always good for you. i'll be fine because im a hermit and i rarely leave the safety of my home so everything will be chill on my end.
im excited for the new week ahead. have a presentation and a computer test lined up but nothing too major. the hell weeks of the semester have already passed. this week will also be my family's first week with our brand new car!! we just drove our new baby home from the store yesterday and it was such a rush. this car is also the first car that has my name under it's registration and thats pretty cool cause it means im part owner. i like this feeling of owning something so adult. i felt this way too when i was 16 and i got my first laptop, like i was such the adult, that i have everything put together. the Ooi's have 3 cars now and we're so thankful for God's provision!
Im actually car illiterate so i cant tell you all the fancy insider guts of this car's abilities but what i do know is it's a Produa Beza. its brown but a bit purple like the colour of a mild bruise. the boot space is huge enough to fit a couple of pigs and you can also fit a few more in the back seat. yup super spacious. the insides are super cool too! theres a functioning radio, bluetooth connection and a lot of fancy buttons that do stuff that i dont know about! there's really so many buttons cause the door opens with a button and a sensor and the engine starts with yes, another button too!!
my dad and i had a really funny experience with the car yesterday. we were at a gas station, filling up the tank, and we were both out of the car. i think he locked the doors as we were getting it filled and this car has a futuristic unlocking system so its kinda complex. he managed to unlock his driver side door but we spent i think a good 10 minutes just trying to get my door opened. i dont know what happened too but it opened after a while and i just laughed about it on the way home.
we took the car to the mall yesterday and we'll be taking out to dinner in a couple of hours. this car will take us on a super many cool adventures next time and i cant wait to write all about it.

so how was your weekend?😘💓💓
