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.

HOTEL ROOM MIRROR

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.

CUBOPARK'S CARPARK

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.

MONEY CAT

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
