Today has been an action filled day. I'm exhausted and I think I probably gained weight from all the foodie adventures I experienced today. Had lunch at Rakuzen, spent 5 hours wandering aimlessly around Empire, shopped a whole lot and went to the Setia Alam pasar malam with Darren, Valerie, Denise and Daniel. It was quite okay. We spent a few hours goofing off at Pappa Rich and I went back around 10pm. When I reached home, I got ready and headed out to Daniel's to watch Star Wars Episode VI with the friends. And yes, it's Return of the Jedi.
Oh, funny story. While I was getting ready to head to Daniel's, my brother suddenly burst into my room screaming that there was a cockroach in the bathroom. I rarely see cockroaches in my house so that was a shock but my brother's utterly girlish scream was a hilarious moment forever engraved in my mind. When he burst into my room screaming that, Daniel said "Kill that cockroach! Are you a man or not?" And my brother replied "Right now, I'm not." Well said, brother, very well said.
In the end, Daniel and Darren killed the cockroach while we all watched, haha. Anyway, I just got back home a short while ago. It's almost 2AM and I'm exhausted. I'm gonna go watch The Avengers tomorrow! *grins*
Oh, here are some photos.
Outfit of the day. And yeah, I finally wore out my Topshop aztec print shorts today. :)
Lunch at Rakuzen earlier today! Ugh, I'm hungry again.
I shall continue to go watch some episodes of Rooftop Prince before hitting the sack. Ciao!
So, I guess I have a new Korean drama to obsess over. I haven't had one since the Dream High 2 fiasco, and I didn't even watch the last 2 episodes because I didn't want the script writers to fuck it up for me even more. Anyway, this drama is definitely much better than Dream High 2, and with much higher ratings too. Even better, Yoochun from JYJ is the lead actor! I'm not a fan of JYJ but I must say, it's impressive.
It's called Rooftop Prince. It's still airing. The 13th and 14th episode is airing next week, and it's scheduled to end at 20 episodes.
Can I just add, this show is absolutely hilarious. I laughed until I choked watching this show so far, and I'm already on episode 4, which is not bad considering how I only starting watching this late last night. I have heard of this show ages ago, before it started airing, but I always dismissed it, because well... I thought this show had no good looking actors and well, I always enjoy K dramas a little more if they have pretty faces! The romance and comedy is just a bonus.
I was sorely mistaken though. When the Prince cut his hair in episode 5 and underwent a makeover, I was literally like 0.0. Then I found out he was actually Yoochun from JYJ and I'm like "OH CHEHHH I should have known!" He's actually really good looking. :) Not as good looking as my biases, *cough*, but still very charming. Plus he's an excellent actor!
I actually really enjoy watching this show. The plot's so new and fresh; plus the actors are killing it. Lee Min Ho from The Moon Embracing The Sun is in here too! And nope, it's not the Lee Min Ho from Boys Over Flowers or Personal Taste. I think Lee Min Ho from TMETS should get a nickname or something, I bet it sucks being constantly thought of as the legendary actor Lee Min Ho from BOF! Whom I love too, btw. He was so badass in City Hunter.
I was ranting sharing about this show with Kim today and she said the lead actor aka Lee Gak aka Yoochun reminds her of Hyun Bin in Secret Garden. That observation truly stunned me. Of course! No wonder I'm so invested in this show and Yoochun in it. He reminded me of Hyun Bin, my epic bias, the awesome actor in Secret Garden.
Here's pictures of Yoochun in Rooftop Prince.
The Prince's three followers! Haha they were so hilarious, they were practically the highlight of this show.
Haha yeah, I realized I would like anything that reminds me of Hyun Bin.
So, school was tolerable today. I got into a really deep funk during BM though, probably over some really unknown paradox that's been battling in my mind with a really strong persistence. I'm better now. Anyway, Black Milk had a huge release today, and I'm thinking of getting these items.
Galaxy rainbow dress!
Peacock dress!
They restocked Aurora Skyes but it sold out within a matter of hours and my Black Ribs swimsuit is also sold out in my size. I'll get my black ribs swimsuit next time, I guess.
It's so gorgeous. I think it's currently my new favorite item in my wardrobe. When I saw this online two weeks ago, a roaring instinct was practically screaming in my head: OMG GET THIS! GET IT NOW! I listened to that instinct and I'm glad I did.
The colors are so beautiful, truly galaxy like, just a kaleidoscope of colors, all blending together in harmony, a perfect juxtaposition of shades and hues, all in all, just perfect.
The material is seriously soft, like a down of feathers, and it looks really fragile, it being chiffon and all. It looks as if one hard tug will rip it apart but after close inspection, the material is actually kinda tough. Well, for RM150, I'm really satisfied with it. This color is sold out worldwide too and I can't believe I got the last few ones available. :D
I also got a Zara studio shirt.
I absolutely adore the collar details! Collars and gold cuffs are making a huge comeback so yeah.
I also received a blue polka dot ASOS dress and a brown chiffon shirt with a sequinned collar.
I'm not a very big fan of sequins, but sequinned high-waisted shorts and tops with sequinned collars are all the rage now, and I actually don't mind 'em myself.
One thing I'm disappointed in is my ASOS blue polka dot dress though. I thought it was going to look exactly like the picture but I was sorely mistaken. The dress's cutting itself was all wonky and the brown belt included was too big for me. My waist is about 26" and that belt could only fit people with waist size 30" and above.
I also received my ASOS jewelry! I got my wraparound eagle claw clamp bracelet, my eagle claw ring, my swirl ear cuff, a wings ring and also a really cool long silver skull ring.
So, I'm pretty happy with what I received today, exempting the dress. I'll be receiving my Black Milk stuff soon too, oh and Black Milk will be having a huge release tomorrow! I'm so excited but I'm really broke so I'll just watch the other sharkies snap up all the stuff and be disappointed. Hahaha.
Truly had an amazing time at the Israel Houghton & Planetshakers concert at the Metro Tabernacle on Friday night. It was just so epic. We were right in front of the stage and we were all screaming and dancing like crazy. It was honestly a perfect way to spend 4/20. I'll not elaborate much but I returned home at almost 1AM, exhausted, and my feet and throat hurt so badly. When Planetshakers started playing Nothing Is Impossible, omg, I swear, the entire crowd went crazy. There were a bunch of Africans in front of us and they danced with no inhibitions too. They were really friendly. It was really fun dancing with them, haha. :)
I barely took any photos, probably cause I was too distracted, along with my other friends, hehe.
This was the crowd last night. We were right in the very front. This picture is not taken by me. Credits to whoever who took it. :)
The tickets! Actually, a lot more of us went, but these are the tickets I had with me at the moment.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words but honestly, I feel like the pictures I took did not do this incredible event any justice. This concert was truly amazing and I don't think the pictures I took captured the frenzy and fervor of it all. Probably because I was using an iPhone 4s camera, not my handy DSLR, and I was really distracted from all the dancing and singing, hahaha.
Anyway, Israel Houghton and/or Planetshakers, when you come back to Malaysia next time, I'm definitely going again. I wouldn't miss it for the world. :)
***********************************
Woke up quite late this Saturday, still feeling dizzy from the epic Friday night. My ears were still thumping from all the loud bass speakers and shrill screaming. My feet hurt from jumping too much. My throat hurt really badly too. I was still in quite good spirits though, lol.
Anyway, Mum and I decided to go to Publika. Had lunch at Food Village and lattes at Ben's. I love Ben's! Their flat bread is delicious; with the perfectly cooked tomatoes and awesome Parmesan. Omg, I'm feeling hungry just reminiscing about that flat bread.
I honestly really love my iPhone 4s camera quality sometimes, teehee. Of course, I definitely prefer my DSLR, but lugging that huge thing around is really tiring at times.
Anyway, I got Belgium chocolates too! Six tiny pieces for a whopping RM61. *shakes head* I don't even like chocolates. I just got it out of curiosity and it was so pricey, haha.
I got back home around late afternoon and proceeded to watch more episodes of MBLAQ Hello Baby. I loved the eight episode! Then, I invited Darren, Valerie, Daniel and Rachel over to my house for a How I Met Your Mother season 7 marathon. We chilled in my upstairs' living room with the Chatime drinks that Valerie brought over and we all had a heated argument over whether Ted's future kids or Robin's future kids are hotter. I personally think Robin's future kids are hotter. Too bad hers are imaginary, but for imaginary kids, dayummmm they're hot, hahahaha.
So it's been a fun Saturday. School reopens on Monday and I have not done any homework nor projects. I think I'm screwed but I know I'm definitely not the only one who did not do it. Hahah.
I started out my day with a surprisingly apparent tenacity that seemed to stun everyone. My friends, my parents, my brother and even my maid. I woke up this morning, and immediately started eating a bowl of fruit and drinking three cups of water. Then, I got ready and set off to the club for a full day of sports and intensive calorie burning training.
Okay, now, why is it so surprisingly to everyone?
There's only one reason, actually.
I am a huge couch potato.
I didn't use to be. I used to be an extremely athletic person who would find chucking down an entire regular Dominos pizza and a can of Coke by myself ridiculous. Uh, no, just one slice of pizza for me, please. That used to be my motto. I had a ridiculously small appetite last time, which is why I was so skinny back then. Honestly, looking back to how little I ate back then makes me wanna bang my head against the table. HOW CAN YOU EAT SO LITTLE? HOW THE HELL IS 6 PIECES OF CHICKEN MCNUGGETS ENOUGH? I only started eating pizza when I was 12. I've never eaten nasi lemak in my life, until about three weeks ago. Anyway, I'm straying away from my original point. My point is, I was ridiculously picky back then, and I still kinda am now, as all my friends will loudly point out, but I have to admit, my appetite has greatly increased and I have come to a point where I can finish two regular pizzas and one huge bottle of Coke by myself without any help. *ducks in shame*
Anyway, I am so unfit now that it's crazy. My parents even started to urge me a little to go to the tennis court and swing some balls now. They never used to urge me to do that. Last time, they would urge me to not exercise anymore and just stay home and relax. Haha, time can change anybody.
Okay, so, I really think I burned off like 2000 calories today. Seriously. Well, 2000 calories is not a lot, but I'm still quite happy with it. My body's aching a little, but the pain's a lot less than I expected, considering how unfit I have become in this span of 4 months.
I even had to walk home from the clubhouse because apparently everyone wants to punish me for being so unfit recently and they think that me walking home is the best punishment there is.
Okay, yeah, this blog post is becoming a whole load of nonsense but I really need a place to randomly type anything that pops into my brain and I think my blog is a perfectly good place for that. Oh, and I weighed myself a few hours ago (I keep a weighing scale in my room and it's like right under my mirror lololol), and I lost like 4 kg, which is a big success, because losing weight is nearly impossible for me. I can easily keep my weight constant and I can even more easily gain weight, but losing weight? Nope, impossible.
And I've recently starting to develop a liking for MBLAQ, maybe because of Lee Joon (He's seriously adorable) and I started watching Hello Baby (The MBLAQ season).
The kids are all so adorable!
Here's a "family photo" of them.
I think Lauren is seriously pretty and so freaking adorable. Leo is adorable, but yes, very naughty and hyperactive (as all little boys are). Da Young is very quiet and very sullen, and honestly, I was a bit annoyed at her at first. I thought she was some spoiled little brat. But if you pierce through her hard shell of body armor (I'm being figurative here), she's actually just really vulnerable, insecure and shy. I actually cried a little in episode 4, when they visited the child psychologist and they did an analysis of her. I think almost everyone cried at that episode, haha.
EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO ABOVE.
EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A KPOP FAN. I'M SERIOUS. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
I was literally in awe throughout the entire dance. I even downloaded this video and stored it in my electronic devices. It's just so... hot. Hahaha. And yes, I still do not consider myself a K-Pop fan. I only like certain K-Pop groups because honestly, sometimes, their music is just really good. And yes, sometimes, it's a whole load of crappy autotune and pretty faces and in sync dancing, but honestly, sometimes, it's really raw and emotional too. It just depends on which side you choose to look on.
And yes, I still find K-Pop really annoying sometimes and I will not automatically defend K-Pop if an anti K-Pop person decides to insult it right in front of me. (But if you insult B2ST or MBLAQ or Big Bang or Kim Myungsoo or Jinwoon in front of me then I'll fucking kill you haha just kidding or maybe not).
But yeah, I'll admit, I'm totally in love with Korean dramas, hehehe. Guilty pleasure.
Okay, this blog post has been a load of crap.
Bye!
Went to the Curve yesterday with Darren, Valerie, Daniel, Jess, Ean and Denise. It was fun! We spent hours in TGI Friday eating and chatting. We were also reading some lala girl's blog and omg, Denise and Ean are so mean. :p Then, we went back to Valerie's house and had a Modern Family marathon. I also watched Oh My School and I realized I am in love with Lee Joon from MBLAQ. So hot!
Anyway, today, I went to OU with Chok Yan. :D It was fun too. We bought ear cuffs from Diva (lol as if I don't have enough ear cuffs already) and then we basically wandered all over OU window shopping and gossiping. Haha, I swear, we gossip non-stop whenever we go out. Then, we went to watch Battleship. :) OH MY GOSH that movie was so bloody epic! Watching all the sound effects and stuff in the cinema is seriously mind-blowing. Rihanna is a surprisingly good actress, I thought she was just another diva, but I must say, she really impressed me in Battleship.
All the explosions and extra-terrestrial stuff in Battleship was just so bloody epic. It makes me wonder how much money they spent on this. They blew up so many ships, buildings and cars! Hahah.
Oh well, I just got back home and I'm really tired. It's been a fun few days. I'll be going to KGSAAS tomorrow for an entire day of tennis, swimming, squash and golf. And on Friday, I'll be going for the Planetshakers concert with Joyce, Jeslyn and a bunch of other people. :D
I have shit loads of homework and projects, but aha, I don't wanna give a shit about it now. :p
Term 1 has finally ended and the term 1 holidays have already started. So far, it's been going great. Slept over at Kim's house on Friday with Chok Yan and Sam. We went out to Kota Kemuning and had lunch at Delifrance and stopped by Chatime to relax too. Then, we went back to Kim's house and spent the rest of the time holed up in her room painting each others' nails, gossiping, comparing clothes, blasting loud music and all in all, having normal teen girl fun.
I'll post some pictures now.
This is all the stuff I packed and decided to bring to Kim's. And yes, I seem to have a fetish for black stuff.
Sam did my nails for me! Leopard print. :3
We spent the rest of the night watching Paranormal Activity 3 in Kim's super posh karaoke room. Oh damn, that movie was scary but I wasn't really affected by it much though. All in all, I'd like to think that I remained rather calm and collected throughout the entire movie. Hahah... well, maybe not.
We also played The Drinking Game with 2 bottles of vodka and 1 bottle of soju that I brought over. And lol wtf, Sam gets drunk so fast, it's ridiculous. I'm never drinking with her again. I think only Chok Yan and I have high alcohol tolerance in this foursome of friends.
The next morning, Kim's driver dropped us off at KLCC. We proceeded to have breakfast at Dome's.
Got this two pairs of shorts at Topshop in KLCC! The tribal print one at the top is RM123 and the dip dyed dark purple/red one is about RM189. Oh, Topshop, you'll be the death of me. Well, if Black Milk doesn't kill me first.
Another close up of my nails! Hehe, I love them.
Anyway, it's been fun. :D
But I'm never walking around KLCC in heels again. Hahaha.
And yes, I realized I practically go everywhere with my Topshop leather shorts and my Forever 21 black leather boots, as shown above. Probably because they match everything, heeeee.
The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath- Sylvia Plath
So I finally received some of my goodies today, after almost a month of agonizing wait.
My Black Milk purple galaxy leggings. I absolutely adore them. Best thing in the world.
My ASOS aztec backpack with leather straps. Adorable, no? I recently have a fetish for tribal prints.
My lovely letter from them. And yes, I have already purchased killer shoes to match my leggings.
And yes, my ASOS ear cuffs arrived too!
Can't wait to try them on. :3
So far, I'm really pleased with what I received. It was worth the month long wait. I'm super scared for my Black Milk Cross of St Peter black leggings though, 'cause I got 'em in a different size and I'm scared it won't fit me. Their leggings are super stretchy but that fact alone is not enough to soothe my growing anxiety. Sigh, oh well, YOLO. If it doesn't fit me, I'll just MAKE it fit me. Hahaha.
SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK. OMG.
The Black Milk ribs black swimsuit is officially restocked! I think I'll get it next week, once I receive the rest of my Black Milk items. *grins*
Black Milk's next official release is on the 26th of April, if I'm not mistaken. I'm so excited!
Gonna continue working on my new story now. I actually really love it and I'm willing to stay up the entire night typing furiously on my laptop, eyes fixated on the screen, brain permanently stuck on a mixture of caffeine high and inspiration and my heart steadily beating on regular intervals, but with the occasional skip beat at any special parts of my story.
Of course, it's most probably not any good, but I love it and well, I just feel happy when I write it, so maybe that counts for something.
