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.๐Ÿ’ 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 fun๐Ÿ’“
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 it๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“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 netflix๐Ÿ’“
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 mantou๐Ÿ’“ 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.๐Ÿ’“

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 world๐Ÿ’“, 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 ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“

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.

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.

STOCKED UP SHELVES OF WINE

MARGHERITA PIZZA

THE COOLEST SAUSAGE PLATTER
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
