Naughty Lil' Brother

Well, hello as usual.

Long time no blog. And since I have some time to kill, I suddenly feel like blogging. Definitely not planning any of this, so I'll just go with the flow then.

Lately, I have been staying at home pretty much doing nothing; hanging out with my family and mostly, spending time "fighting" with my little brother LOL. We bicker almost everyday. Not sure why, but he seems to "enjoy" it. Can he stop being so naughty, like seriously o.O

I guess this post is dedicated to my little brother after all, though I did not plan any of this. He is naughty, but I still love him :) And one thing for sure, I will miss him when I go to study later on. #SiblingsForLife

Photos of us over the years:

Aww~ such a cutie!

Our fun date last year.

(Let's do this again more frequently ^_^)

CNY 2014

This was supposed to be posted on the 4th of February but I just realised I haven't posted this anyway so…yeah. Btw, I am currently in Bali ;)


Ni hao!

It's the time of the year again. Chinese New Year!! Err...although it took me four days to wish my blogger friends that. I hope you don't mind though. Anyway, have a great day and happy celebration with the family.

Cheese cookies

(This is the bomb!!)

Pineapple tarts

Some kind of nuts bar.

Chocolate chips cookies

In my case, I did enjoy the great food and relaxed atmosphere with my family. Although I do wish my elder brother was here with us during the special occasion. As always, the good times of togetherness with family will never go stale.

Enough being said. Just a little recap on what has been happening during the past month. I am still at home...doing nothing except laying around like a lazy pig. Been unproductive since forever and I certainly don't feel good about that. I hope I can study as soon as I can. God bless!

Anyhow, I started eating clean and exercise in order to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Since I always laze around and being passive, I do think that even a light exercise is good for me. I certainly feel myself becoming more energetic and happy ^_^ Trust me. Exercise really works wonders. I used to hate it, but now I adore it. Exercising changed me...from being grumpy to a happier person.

P/S: I've been guilty for not exercising and eating excessive foodies during CNY lol. But I promise, I will get back on track very soon (probably another week lol) haha.

Closing Up 2013

Hello people!

Now that 2013 has ended, I try to think about the way I live for the past year. I'm not gonna lie, but I'm kind of taken aback by how much I wasted my time and money last year. I traveled a lot and played my share...so I should be fully recharged to face the new book of 2014. God bless me ^_^

To close 2013, shall we have a little rewind eh? Okay. So I had my A level examination and then I traveled to Singapore, KL, Penang, Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya and Medan. Lots of leaving home then and lots of missing home too. Shopping? Yes please. I done that a lot too. Clothes, skincare products, bags, shoes, perfumes, etc. Did I even mention that I got my Note 2 and Macbook Air? I...definitely have been the biggest spender of the year in my family o.O

To be honest, I'm thankful for all that happened in 2013, whether they're good or bad; happy or sad; sweet or bitter. At the end of the day, the most important thing is we are still alive, right?

Enough is enough. To kick off the new pages in 2014, I shall resolute to do well in my studies. I reckon I have to leave my home again. This is sad. However, it's all for the best. Now that I'm going to start my university life soon, I kinda feel old ~_~ No matter what, I am going to get that degree! God bless ^_^

Slowly, day by day, I'm going to fill the pages of 2014 with much fun and interesting moments, hopefully. And I'm sorry if I'm not able to update this blog as much as I always do. With that, I shall end this post with a "Happy New Year!!" Yay! Have a great year ahead ;)

Uncle's Wedding

Hello gorgeous!

Sorry about the hiatus. But I am back from Medan, the historical place where I was born. LoL Anyway, this trip back to my hometown is the happy one. Firstly, my grandfather is all healthy again and I am elated for that! It seems like he has recovered from his past life endangering illness, Aneurysm :) Thank you for being well again, ah gong!

With my cousins and neighborhood kids :)

And of course, you gotta shop till you drop!

Just kidding LoL

Another happy event was my uncle's wedding! I am particularly happy about this marriage because I think they make the most compatible couple. Now that they are happily married, I hope we will hear some good news from them soon ^_^ Babies, babies!!

Below are some photos from the happy occasion...and for the photos without caption, just note that if I'm in the photo with male then they're my uncles, if they're females then they're my aunties :)

The happy groom! ^_^

My baby brother

The happy bride ;)

My grandfather!

The groom's friend all the way from Germany ;)

The loving great aunt!

Oh ya! I also watched Catching Fire the first day it came out! Totally such an awesome movie. A little spoiler here: I cried when Cinna was beaten and I think he's dead.

Well, not much to talk about anymore...although I went there for 3 weeks o_O To sum up, 90% of this trip is all about me eating cos' Medan is where all the yummy food gathers! Gosh!! All the weight gained =_= Gotta start losing weight now :) Goodbye.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Greetings from Malaysia!

I'm finally home (actually been home for 2 weeks lol) after being away for more than a month. During those period, I traveled to Bali, Jakarta and also Surabaya. Nonetheless, I had my share of fun being in those places as I am able to meet up with my relatives especially my brother, Willy, and I also got to make a lot of new friends (well, mostly are already friends with my brother). I am glad to have made this trip although I might add, I do miss my mum. It's just crazy looking at how much I miss her every single day while being away from her. The first week being away was manageable, but the weeks after is where the absence makes the heart grow fonder. Shout out to fellow mama's girl out there yo'!

Anyway, I am happy to be home now and wishing my skin condition will get better soon. The trip might be full of fun stuff, but my face break out so much and I got so tan from the trip! Totally not feeling okay with that, but what can I expect; there is always a downside to everything. Just hoping for my skin to clear up before I travel again to Medan in ten days time. *finger crossed*

I don't know what else to write in this post since compressing everything that happened in 5 weeks time seems to be a quite difficult task o.O However, I can highlight some memorable events, not that those unmentioned are of any less important in my life for I believe any occurrence in any stage of my growth are equally important in shaping how I am today...although I can get so silly and stupid sometimes. What an honest confession!

The highlight of my trip would be my 20th birthday obviously ^_^ I received so much blessings from my family and friends; and I am thankful for each of them. Sometimes it's a wonder how these family and friends remember the day when I am born into this world. And I appreciate it very much. There might be days where everything just went awful and you wish you live in Elysium (I assume you watch the movie lol), but really the point is how these people remember your existence in this world; and that is the best thing ever. Do not even question why you are born in the first place!

The next highlight would be what I mentioned before, making new friends! It is difficult to see me making the first move in making friend because I am painfully shy. So I got to thank my brother for introducing me to his friends. However, I am only shy at first. I can get pretty crazy once I am comfortable enough. Surprise, surprise. haha

Another memorable highlight would be going on road trip to Karangasem with them. And when I say memorable, it is truly unforgettable. For now. LoL Apparently, I still got TAN lines on my body from that trip o_O I don't know why the sun was so blazing hot on that day and each step made was torturing. The sun beam was piercing through my skin the whole time! However, the scenery of the place was rewarding. I got to say that the place was breathtakingly beautiful. *suddenly remembers an inside joke* WOW~!!

Besides that, I also enjoy having the time to myself and my brother where we went to eat together. And if you guessed it, my next highlight are the food experience!  I really enjoy the food from this trip since I got to taste test different type of yummy food ^_^ Hmm...blissful stomach.

Breakfast buffet at Novotel Surabaya Hotel & Suites

Yummy porridge at Laota

Tiger prawns at Fish&Co

Nasi Padang at Rumah Makan Padang Sederhana

Dim Sum buffet at Golden Lotus Restaurant

Below are some of my favorite photos from my trip.

While now I get to be with my family again, I do occasionally think of those friends in Bali ;) I know it might sounds cliché... but I miss them ☕ ☕
