Korea Beauty Brands!

It's a good thing when your favourite brand is endorsed by your favourite celebrity (^^ )!
I think i'm a living, walking contradictions of ironies.

Ok, it doesn't make sense.

I often emphasized that i'm not a girly girl, and yet, i think i'm super obsessed with Etude House, which is perhaps the girliest, fluffiest, laciest and frilliest beauty brand in Korea.
And i super heart it ok! Ever since i chance upon it last year!

I don't know, i guess i like it's sweet smell, and i'm ok with this shade of pink! Or maybe it's just the fancy stuffs they have that i like!
Anyways, the best part is this time around is it's endorsed by Lee MinHo =D!

So charming!
I super heart that guy, his so Choi SiWon-ish adorable =D!
(Last year wasn't bad too, Jang GeunSeok!!)

Then of course, not forgetting Kyochon and my 13 boys (^^ )! You don't know how happy i am when i know that they are Kyochon's latest spokesperson! Kyochon is my favourite fried chicken outlet after KFC ok, so don't siao-siao! You need to be like... super good to be ranked up there! And it's not because of Shinhwa or the 13 =P!
Too bad i didn't get the poster then, but oh well! It's ok (^^ )!

... ok, don't see the connection between beauty shops and fried chicken shops but anyways...

When i was in Korea this time, i think i visited like... almost every "beauty shop" in MyeongDong (they have like... 5 Etude House outlets there alone, all which i've entered and bought something from what turf) except Skin Food (never like this brand) and Innisfree (nothing attracted me to go in).

Ah, and then there's The Face Shop!
Let's just say it *used* to be my favourite brand (before Etude House attacks), but they had to change their spokesperson to Bae YongJun instead of the handsome Kwon SangWoo (my favourite married celebrity whose a father, hahaha!).

But of course, you shouldn't "judge a brand" by who endorses it! It's the extra freebies they give! So i still pay The Face Shop a visit, just to see if there's anything i can get, but alas...
SUPER PACK A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN STAND OK!
You'll get pushed (away) even if all you want to do is stand in the middle of the shop!

How do you bloody shop when the whole shop's full of Japanese ladies all going, "Yon-sama, Yon-sama"!
!@#$%^&*...
Ok, maybe they didn't go around calling "Yon-sama", but it's the same, super pack with Japanese ladies (ahjummas?)!

I lost the mood to shop, so i just dropped whatever i had in my hands, and left.
Besides...
Why shop there when Etude's just across the road, kekeke XD!

Overall, this trip has been fruitful =D!
Love the freebies, especially the Lee MinHo goodies! Nyans!

Might post about it another day, if i'm not lazy, hahaha!



ps: Wah, this post is so totally pointless and meaningless. I just wasted cyberspace, boo!

Everyone go awwwwwwww!

Backdated 27th July 2009 post.
---

Found some old pictures of HeeChul (^^ )!
I lost all of HeeChul's baby pics when my old hard disk crash. Don't mention it, it still hurts!



I miss her so much!
I want to give her a big big hug, and lotsa kisses!
I miss hugging her (despite that she hated it), i miss her smelly smell. I just miss her.
This is complicated. As much as i wanted to stay here, i miss her so so so much, it's just torturing!

Then when i'm back, i'll miss the boys.
Why do things have to be so complicated?
Bummer!



ps: She is so much more adorable when she's a kitty, now she's just a Devil like HeeNim! Hehehe!

Quarter-life crisis.

I came to realize that some people seem to think that i don't have and never have any problems in my life. You know they think so from the comments they make, whether in a good way or sarcastic way.

Well, just because i don't announce any problems i have with a loud speaker, nor make it public that even the Polar Bears up north knows what i had for breakfast today, does not mean that i don't have problems or troubles ok!

Personally, if i think people should know, i'll tell. If i think otherwise, then otherwise it shall be. It's that simple.
Just because i choose not to tell people, not to share what's troubling me, doesn't mean that i don't have problems! Sometimes i choose not to tell because i think my problems are not too important, or i don't want others to worry about me, or i don't want you to be unhappy because of my problems. I am happy when others around me are happy, and when they are happy, they make me happy, so it's ok. It's a circle!

And i seriously hate awkward moments when i tell you whats wrong and you don't know how to help me and just awkwardly change the topic. So isn't it better if i just keep it to myself?? Not that it makes you a bad person! It's definitely not! It's just well, why bother?

I also hold onto the fact that if you really care, you would eventually know. There are times when i want to tell, but circumstances prohibits because i don't know how to start. I also came to realize if people really want to know how you are recently, they'll ask. People who care cares. They won't leave you alone until they need you or something. You just know it!


Oh yes, i was hit with quarter-life-crisis some time earlier this year, and i can tell you, this coupled with a couple of other things, it's not good. It's horrible! It's like the whole world is falling! I'm thankful and grateful that despite being such an emo and sensitive person, i'm wonderfully positive (well, most of the time anyways), otherwise i really don't know how i'll get through this!

And here i seriously want to thank some people who had helped me so much (they don't know they did, but they made such a huge difference i don't think i'll ever forget to be thankful to them in a hurry!)... even though they didn't know, but still, i'm forever more grateful that they were there for me when i needed someone most!


And here is a confession i'm making. If you think it was horrible, wait till you find out that i was actually "hit" with "quarter-life-crisis" TWICE! Can you believe it?
That said, the last time i didn't know it was quarter life crisis, and i just mumble over it, tried to avoid it, and that's why it probably hit me extra hard when it came back eventually.

This time, i think i can say that i was lucky there are wonderful peoples around who has helped me through it, and i came to realize it's not that bad after all. You just need to stay positive and put things into perspective. I learn that avoiding it isn't the solution because it'll eventually come back (and slap you round the face). Just face it, and try doing something about it, then accept whatever may come even if it's not so good. Live the moment. Carpe diem.

I'm especially grateful that this "episode" in my life taught me a lot. It taught me a lot about other people, but most importantly it taught me a lot about myself and what i can do, and what i should do. Who i really am as a person.

I learned about my insecurities, and how to overcome them. I learned what and who is important to me.

The Australia trip especially proves most important to me. I guess being "away from it all" for so long, being able to be away from "reality", because it's like being on such a long holiday and away from the place, it puts everything into perspective. I learned to reflect on a lot of things i just tend to shove and avoid before.

I've also learned a few valuable lessons, which hopefully, will remind me of what matters and everything else =)!

All in all, i just wanted to say a big thanks to those people (who didn't know about it till now perhaps, kekeke), and i'll try to be a better person! Okwecan do it together yo!

아자 파이팅!
I love my 13 boys (^^ )!
I love you guys a freaking amazing lot too! Thank you!
Go go go!

Quantity and Quality.

It is possible for both to co-exist with each other.

Whenever the boys are concerned =D!
Can't help but feel so proud every time i watch this MV honestly (^^ )!

Koalas are awesome.

I heart them!
Super adorable!
His bloody Roonil Wazliby adorable!!
I'm super Roonil Wazliby adorable too.
Apparently you just emit radiant and happy and awesomely adorable feeling when you're near someone whose as awesome and adorable as you =D!

I shall rename Chilly, 3 years old, as Roonil Wazlib. Because it's a cool name, and he deserves such cool name!

ps: His the reason why i smell like a Koala that day. Oh yeah, his awesome! Lols!

pps: Do you know that it's illegal to touch a Koala in New South Wales?

ppps: Just in case you ask, no, i was not in NSW then, so i didn't commit any crime whatsoever.

pppps: Oh yes, Chilly's 3 years-old and a male and he loves me so i love him too =D!

ppppps: I MISS ANNIE (ㅠ.ㅠ)!!!!!!!!!

Do you remember your first BOOST?

(Written 3rd of July).

Oh yeah, i remember it alright.
It was May 30th 2009. I had my very first BOOST in this shopping mall called Westfield Marion (if i'm not wrong).

I remember it was Mango Tango something. A smoothie. And even though after that very first one i moved on to crushes, but it was still my very first BOOST, and i remember it very well.
The first sip. Heavenly!
Holy marshmallow and chocolate. It's like falling in love for the first time. It's like going home and HeeChul sitting at the doorway welcoming you home. It's like being able to have freshly squeezed Orange Juice any minute you want.

Yes, it's just that heavenly!!

And this went on, mind, for the whole of my Australia trip. I had it every chances i can, anytime and mind, it was winter!! But the weather is no deterrence for BOOST! I LOVE BOOST =D!

It was with deepest regrets that when i get back to Malaysia, i have to part with BOOST, but fear not, i know someday, someday, we will meet again. Yes, we will.


Then my cousin sister informed me that they have BOOST in KLCC!! KLCC!!! It's near where i am!! Yeahs!
That said, it was still a bit inconvenient for me to go to KLCC just for BOOST, so you know how much i longed for it, when i dreamed about it... TWICE!
The first time was some nights ago. I dreamed going to KLCC and seeing BOOST in front of me! How happy i was! But somehow or rather i don't know why but i didn't get to buy any of it =(...

Then yesterday's, i've decided to go to KL to get some stuffs, and i purposely plan the trip so that i would be able to go to KLCC afterwards (for BOOST). And that very night, i actually dreamed i went to BOOST and bought a cup! So honestly, you can really see how much i miss BOOST and how excited i am that it's finally here in Malaysia!!

But alas, my dream was short lived. It was just plain disappointment!
No, the shop's open. If it was closed i would probably be happier if i knew earlier what was going to happen! No... it was because... the drinks aren't just up to standard. Tremendously!! It just tasted all wrong!!

I ordered my favourite Lemon Crush! I was so happy the moment they gave me my drink, happy memories from Australia comes swooshing towards me like those huge waves in Bondi Beach! BOOST! LEMON CRUSH! XD
Then the first sip brought me straight back to earth with a huge slap round the face.
SUPER FREAKING SOUR UNTIL I FORGOT ALL OF SUPER JUNIOR'S MEMBERS NAMES OK!!
OMG!!
It was just plain horrible!
Initially i thought it was bearable, but no, it was just toooooo sour, i went back and got it changed!!

The guy explained it was probably because of the fruit (it was freshly squeezed) so even if they make me a new one it would probably still taste the same. Disappointed, but nevertheless, there's still Mango Tango Crush!
It was really nice of him to make me a new one, honestly! I really appreciate it, but alas...
It's sucked as well.
The mango's taste just isn't rich enough. It's like they dilute it with water.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BOOST??? WHY THIS!!!

I was just so sad ok!! WHY LIKE THIS??? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS???
(ok fine i know i'm overdramatic lar, but if you love BOOST as much as i do you would react the same too... and an overdose of dramatic cells might help btw)

It was just sad, just so so so so so sad ok!
Hi Malaysia, thank you very much for ruining the wonders of BOOST juice for me.
Now i feel like buying a plane ticket to Australia just so i could be reminded of the wonders BOOST had bought me ok (which is ruined now).
Ah (ㅠ.ㅠ)!



Update: I emailed BOOST, and they replied, and were really nice =D! They want to know all our opinions and everything, so they can work to improve BOOST so it would be up to standard like Aussie's! Go go go! Let's hope it'll be much better the next time! (^^ )

I like good customer service! One who actually pays attention to the customer's opinion, and everything! Me likey! Let's hope other services in Malaysia will improve!

I heart shopping in Korea!

Competition there are just so tough, they just *give* you stuffs so you would go into their shop, and no pressure to buy anything!
Of course, it's a gimmick (enter shop you'll probably end up with something out despite not needing it), but still! It's a brilliant idea! I LOVE free stuffs, and getting free stuffs are just wonderful!

And being really suaku, sometimes when i see them giving out something i wanted, even though i just entered the same shop (but located at the other side) like... 10 minutes ago... i'll still go in just to get the stuffs =P! Hehehe!

Half the stuffs in my shopping bag today are FREE! Don't you just love it =D?
Hahaha, and pretending i'm a fan of Lee MinHo and KimBum (oh so hot!) has it perks! Wait, i do like them! But does that make me a fan?
Anyways, got lotsa freebies! Love it!~

Forever 21 Korea is awesomest! They gave out this really fab yellow environmental bag today! It's huge, you can stuff everything in it, and it looks good most importantly! Can bring it everywhere =D!


On the other hand, and i think Korea weather hates me, lols!
Yesterday, i didn't bring my umbrella, and i got drenched in the rain.
Today, i brought my umbrella out (sky was gloomy), and it didn't rain. What is this?


Korean internet is WONDERFUL!
I can know watch all the boys show in peace now =D! Yeah!


Korean's customer service is awesome!
Was at the bookstore last week, and because they ordered the wrong book for me, there was some hoo-hah, and they were (figuratively) running around trying to help me sort it out! I had to go again the next day, but it is ok! Good customer service is above everything else (well, technically speaking!)! =D


ps: Still, forever more, hate Korean subway.
Sekian, terima kasih.

In Korea now!!

You know you are in a foreign land when you feel that you are closer to an angmoh (caucasian) than the Chinese-looking Asian standing next to you.
So racist what turf (= =").

I'm in Korea now =D!
So touristy this time round! Me likey! Hahaha!

My opinion on Korea!
Korean girls have a serious problem.
Ok, maybe only me who feels so lols!
Not with surgery or whatsoever. Not those! But with skin colour!!
They are WHITE.
Not fair, mind, but WHITE!!
Seriously, OMG!! This isn't the first time i blog about it, but it still shock me to see the amount of foundation the girl next to me applies! Like... talk about being WHITE!!

It's ok to look fair, but WHITE? Even angmoh, who we call "white" (omg i'm so racist), are not as WHITE!
Then again, i guess they (those WHITE Korean girls) provide good entertainment in an otherwise boring subway ride, kekeke! (especially when they apply super rosy cheek too!!)

Have i said how much i hate Korean subway?
If i didn't, here: I HATE KOREAN SUBWAY.
I use to love it during my last trip, despite the super scary transit parts (too much walking involved)... but this time. I just hate it. Super hate it. Somebody gimme a roller blade or something!

Korean guys are HOT! (duh! 12 of my boys are Korean!)
Hot hot hot! HOT!! HOT HOT HOT!!
Because they are all dressed really well (manbags XD!), and most of them are tall and buff! Good body! They carry their clothes well, their style, their looks (clean immaculate type, or scruffy but still really nice and "clean"!)... Me likey =D!

Tee-vees are awesome!
The ads (Lee MinHo!! Kim JunSu!!), the shows! Nice!

I miss Cam and Hollie!!
We had such a good time (despite it being super tiring and all), and i'm particularly amused at my ability to come up with really silly stuffs when i'm dead bored while we're waiting (being fans). Like asking them to choose between Lee SooMan and Park JinYoung, hehehe!

But that's not a difficult question! But this one... OMG! I'm still appalled that when it was a choice between LSM and KIM HEECHUL OF SUPER JUNIOR... and SOMEONE actually hesitated for a moment and ponder who to choose!! HEHEHE!


Ah, i feel so lonely now. Even more frustrated when i think of the boys.
Ok stop it.

Was going to post photos, but, hehehe, lazy =P!
Seriously, internet here is just awesome! I'm so going to miss it, kekeke!

I'm bias, and loving it!

My cousin asked me for a vid of my boys to see why i like them so much!
I send her this!

Honestly, watching the MV again... i just want to say.
MY BOYS ARE PURR-FECTLY AWESOME!!
Feel so every time i watch this MV XD!
I think this is one of their awesomest MV ever! Out of all of their other awesome MVs, hehehe, because it shows how awesomely brilliant they can dance!

Personally, i think my 13 boys are the bestest dancers ever! I don't know, i think it's a super bias thing (which is super true though)! I look at them dance, and all i see is perfection.

When i see other group dancing, i can come up with like... at least 2-3 criticism, bla-bla-this-or-that, even though they are actually super good whatsoever! But the boys... if i say "purr-fect", i'm just being humble XD!

I'm bias and loving it =D!
My boys are always the best! (^^ )

Pemasu Berbulu dan Putera Setengah-Darah.

Gosh i love direct-translating movie titles to Malay. Like Pemadam. Hahaha =P!

Yes, become "해리 포터" dee now!

To keep things short, i don't like the movie! In fact, i don't like all of Harry's movies!
Never had, never did... and since this is already the SIXTH movie, i think maybe i can say never will!
Then again, two more movies ahead! Things might change!
On the other hand, book 6 is one of the really good books (all of them are, but i favour book 6 and 7!), but the movie... er... well, we'll see!

That said, i do like some (very little) of the changes!
I also like the wall of fire part when Dumbly-dorr summoned fire to try save Berbulu... i mean, Harry! Super cool! He looks like Gandalf there, hahaha!

And i like the jokes they make, Rupert Grint's awesome! His my favourite in the movie!
And the twins are awesome possum, as usual (too bad there's so little of them!)! Plus this one Dumbledore's a lot better, not so PMS-y.

But ooh, it's depressing seeing Weasley's house on fire!! Why didn't they just use the Aquamenti spell? Even if it's a cursed fire, at least try lar! Just looking at their house burn nya!! What turf!!


And one thing i seriously have to point out! Don't think i have said it before, anyways...
I like Emma Watson! Pretty, good actress and all...
BUT I HATE THE HERMOINE IN THE MOVIE!!!
She's like a PMS woman strutting around Hogswart!!
Sorry, but it's true, at least in my opinion!

To me, Hermoine has always been a smart, calm, witty, intelligent and pretty girl, but the Hermoine in the movie just failed to portray so to me! I failed to "feel" the smart part from her, i just sense anger most of the time what turf!


One last thing, i like the little details they add in the movie!
Do you remember the last scene on Dumbly-dorr's table? Did you see anything particular on the table, something special, on it which was not in the book (at least, after millions of rereading the same book i'm sure they don't have this part!)?
LEMON SHERBET (or at least, that's what i think those sweets are!)!! His favourite sweet!

I always like little details you spot yourself in drama and movies! It shows how detailed the movie makers are =D!


This also mark the first movie i ever watch oversea! =D
Not one which i'll say it's my favourite, but it's a big enough movie and good enough to make the mark (^^ )!

To think it all started with a Miracle.

You know how when you hear stories about about other fan's fan-accounts and all you get jealous and everything? Especially when you're there too!!

Honestly, i get jealous, and i don't think i will ever stop (getting jealous)! It's not good, but really, i just can't help it XD!

Then again, i am reminded that i do have nice beautiful memories myself, which is mine, and forever will be mine.

It's not the best - it's not even close to "good" - but it's purr-fect to me.

It's the best of 'em all, because it's mine, and only mine (^^ )!


I love my 13 boys!

Life's too short.

The thing with Korean girls...
Do you know i can get you 10 girls in one train (if you're lucky, in one single carriage) who are far too white (mind, not "fair", but seriously literally WHITE!) than they are supposed to be, seriously.

In fact, this afternoon, i saw one which... scared the bejeepers out of me. Serious bejeepers, i had to use all willpower i had in me to try not to smile or laugh out loud.
And because i shall not be mean (karma and everything), even though nobody knows who the girl is, but still! It's still mean, so i shall not say a word.
(ps: You may ask me personally though, since it won't exactly be a "public announcment" if so.)


Haha, sometimes it just takes one word from the tee-vee to put you back on track =).
I can't deny that i wasn't disappointed that it had to come this way, and to think it still effects me (though not as strong as before) after all this while!!
But oh well, life's too short, i shouldn't waste it dwelling on unhappy negative stuffs or stuffs i had no control over! I'm so totally sick of mind games! I seriously wonder why people do that? (i hope i don't do it unconsciously man, because seriously...)

And well, i'm glad that it didn't "hurt" as much as before! It's an improvement, and hopefully it'll continue to improve in the long run =D!
What has passed has passed! Unfortunately and "too bad" it may be, but oh well!

Life's too short, use it to focus on the happy and positive things in life =D!

It's been four years.

You learn to be grateful just by thinking about it.

Personally, i always think it was fate, and it is fate.
One way or the other.

I truly am very happy that it has been so for four years. I am really and truly very grateful. I honestly don't dare to hope for more, just extremely grateful (^^ )!

Thank you!

My theory on being a picky eater.

You see, a lot of people said i'm a picky eater. I don't deny it. I'm very picky with the taste. I think it has something to do with me being a Penang-kia, but anyways...

For example:
I don't eat taugeh. Ugh, loathe it! I think this is my most un-Penang-ish ways, because i seriously hate taugeh!!
I can actually spend the first few minutes before indulging on my delicious plate of Char Koey Tiao picking out ALL the taugeh, no matter how small they are, out, so that not a single one is left!
I could've ordered one without the taugeh, but i have this theory (oh yeah, i have lots of theory) the CKT won't taste good if it's not fried with taugeh, that's why i rather spend time having to pick them out.
HOWEVER, once i tried CKT without the taugeh, and it actually tasted EVEN BETTER. Since then, i'm converted. CKT without taugeh is the bomb! Hah, take that taugeh!


Anyways, back to my theory on me being a picky eater... hehehe.
A lot of people said i'm picky, but ahah, you see...

I don't eat a lot of types of food which most people will eat. (Like taugeh.)
BUT... i eat a lot of types food which most people won't eat.

So... whose the picky eater now?
(duh, majority over minority, so i'm still the picky eater =P! You've got to realize halfway through this entry that it's just another one of my bo-liao entries right? Hehehe!)



ps: But apparently, even though i'm a Penang-kia (born in Penang), but most said i'm a KL-lang dee, since i've been staying here all my life. What turf. Identity crisis.

I'm not excited about Harry Potter's new movie release.

No seriously, i'm not.

And seriously, i think this movie poster's a bit gay. I've seen a few of their posters and i think all the quotes (which i think they get from the book) all sounded totally wrong.

Considering what a big Potter fan i am, having read all the books a gazilionth time... am seriously not even the least excited that it's releasing soon.

Last year when they changed the release date, i was like "oh ok" and wasn't even bothered by the change. But maybe because Twilight played a huge part, but anyways...
Malaysia's release date is next week, and i'm not even hyped about it! And Half-Blood Prince is one of my favourite books (actually all of them are, except Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix which i've reread the least, maybe only billionth times nya)!

Hmm... except ooh! I'll get to see Daniel Radcliffe again! That's a reason to be excited! And Rupert Grint! His just hilarious!

But boys aside, it isn't exactly a secret that i never like all the Potter movies. I mean, i will and want to watch it! And it's definitely nice not having to use my imagination once in a while, but seriously, the movies has never really done it for me.

Yeah yeah, i know the "cannot-follow-exactly-as-the-book" theory blah-blah, which i've heard like a million times (probably because i've said a million times how i don't like the movie)... and i've also explain it a million times! There are books which movie is so much more nicer than the book! And those movie made loads of changes too, but it's still nicer (than the book)!

Personally, my theory is that it goes down to how much of "author involvement" there are in the movie, and maybe how good the script writers are. Those movies (which i've mentioned are nicer than the books) all contain the feel and excitement you get when you read the book, and even though there are changes, they stick to the feeling you get from the book, so maybe that's why. The author plays a huge part in making sure filmmakers don't go too far from it!


All in all, i'm definitely going to watch the movie asap! And certainly am going to rewatch the older Potter movies, but as i said, i *still* think that Potter movies are not really good! But i really do hope this one proves me wrong (^^ )!



ps: Reading (Harry Potter) rocks!!

pps: The Dumbledore from the 3rd movie onwards is just about as favourable as a pile of Stinksaps.

ppps: I love using quotes and everything from Harry Potter to describe stuffs etc! Haven't been doing it a lot these days, but still! It's nice =D!

The thing with haircuts.

I'm always up for cutting my hair and getting new hairstyles and everything. Even changing hairstylists till i find a suitable one who i'm comfortable with, otherwise i don't mind going to different hairstylists. Your hair grows back, so even if it's a very sucky haircut, it'll grow.
I still stand by what i say now, despite realizing i'm getting really picky and fussy after being spoiled thoroughly by my current hairstylist.

But anyways, today for the first time i so badly wanted to kill the new hairstylist. Thus, the above "standing" i've made DOES NOT APPLY to me now, because:
a) There is an important "event" i'll be attending a few days later.
b) I just conveniently gained a few pounds. The new hairstyle did not compliment the weight gain and other way round.
c) See point a).
I'm supposed to look good for the event! And now... *bawls*

Because my hairstylist wasn't around, and i badly needed a haircut, so i thought i'll just go to the other hairstylist at the same salon. BAD CHOICE!! BAH!!!

Dangs! I'm not being a drama queen ok. I so totally looked like a little dude now!
Like *the* HeeChul's short hair, just girlier or something i think.
The ironic of it. Today's his birthday.

Gimme back my old hairstylist!

Ok fine, i admit that i myself am probably part of the "fault", but but in my defence it was because i was so used to my old hairstylist... and i probably give that guy too much credit rofl =P! Hehehe!




ps: It's not that his bad! He just didn't know how my hair is like, and don't understand how i want my hair, unlike my usual stylist. Oh well, you can't win them all lols what turf. Now i'll have to look for a way that will make my hair look better!

pps: On the plus side, IT'S SO FREAKING SHORT NOW WASHING HAIR IS A BREEZE!!~ Yeahs!~
And i can go back to styling my hair when i go out. I came to realize as much as i love my hair, laziness got over me that when my hair was longer (before the cut), i got very lazy to wash it so i didn't bother with any hair products before going out =P! Kekeke!

Do you Twitt?

Have been thinking of getting Twitter for the longest time, but just... didn't. I thought it'll be cool that i can update my thoughts etc blah blah whenever i want, using my phone and don't need the computer blah blah blah...

Though now i still can't, but anyways, LeggyPoo got me to Twitt. And i've Twitt. So do you Twitt? Follow my extremely boring and lame thoughts and thinkings which are also weird, retarded and definitely random at _eikochan.

Someone had already taken eikochan, and she didn't even use it. Jeez!
If you don't use that name, then DELETE IT ALREADY! You're taking my nickname which i've been using for years!

So anyways, since i can't have *that* nickname, and i can't think of anything else (and it's either eiko-chan or eikochan, no eiko_chan, sorry, very anal with the way the words are supposed to be etc), so _eikochan it is.
LeggyPoo thinks it's super difficult to type, but what the heck, i'm awesome and special so i shall have a special nickname =D!

Oh yeah!




ps: I suspect the "awesome" part is the result of too much "How I Met Your Mother" (or possibly due to the effects of living with HRH Princess Kim HeeChul). I usually use fab for myself.

I told you I is wonderful.

Adorable isn't he =D?

You won't believe the amount of pictures from Aussie that i have in my com!

That said, very lazy to post all... or even most... so you'll just have to settle with some... once i got around getting them ready to be posted =P!!
(ps: Posting animal parks pics first definitely =D!)

Because i am wonderful.

I think i take wonderful pictures of animals =D!





I may not be good in taking pictures of humans, but apparently it's because i'm talented in animal photography =D!

You can't have 'em all you know =P!
(Oh great, now i've said it sure kena jinx as well one. Dammit!)

Because i had been procrastinating.

Here are some pictures which are probably years-old because i had been procrastinating in posting them =P!

My first "bento"!

Nothing much, but i like =D!

Yummy BBQ Chicken!

Super good!

DESSERTS!

I heart you!

One of my best buy ever!!

My Starbucks tumbler! Costs RM10 nyah, and it's super amazing!

Finally...
Stupid RM1k cat who always kacau my HeeChul!

If you see this cat, please give him a kick, thank you!
An "animal-lover" i may be, but i'm more a "HeeChul-Lover". Sekian, terima kasih.

On getting my hair dyed.

I find i should've update my Blog with some stuffs to make it more interesting. Not like it was interesting before, but, you know, i like to think that it was (and still is) interesting =D!

Anyways, the most interesting thing that happened today (apart from me going totally fangirly in the cinema watching 17 Again. I don't care what people say man! To hell with peer pressure! I think Zac Efron is HOT and i shall say his HOT dammit! I like boys who looked clean and like they've been under a shower! OCD-much but whatever! Zac Efron's HOT!)... is probably reading XiaXue's Blog!

Personally, i agree with what XiaXue said about the dyeing-your-hair-part. I also think the other guy was a bit too quick to judge someone else he probably don't know even a pinch off (except from appearance). I shall end what i say here in case i got spewed into the whole issue-thingy, because i've read some other Blogs commenting about it and i do have some points i wanted to point out, but nah, i seriously very malas to argue with people, because chances are you'll never see the end to it (depending who though, i've debated with some really nice people before who disagreed with me, but at the same time respected it's my opinion and don't force me to see things their way nor judge me for whatever basis i make my point, which i really like =D!).

I honestly don't like it when things turned to a heated debate. To me, if you don't like what you see or read, go away (thats what i did with the Blogs i mentioned above). It's just that simple. You can disagree with things (and made sure you are heard), but you cannot force people to see things your way (nor judge or insult them, it's just wrong).
(ps: i can find a hundred different arguments to go against what i've just said, but i shan't bother with covering the loopholes, even though kena a lot of time before when people just take you very generally for what you say even if you're trying to convey something else).

So putting this part to a stop, it's like someone going to a Big Bang concert and complain, scolded them and asked for SHINee.
Erm, hello, Big Bang concert lar, it's not like you're forced there! Just go to SHINee concert lar!

Besides, the main reason why i'm writing this is about hair-dyes, not anything else, mind.


I agree with most of what XiaXue said about getting your hair dyed. It's ridiculous to say the reason i dyed my hair is because i'm trying to be someone else. Pfft!!

For one, i have been dyeing my hair for quite some time (hmm, round 4 years to be exact?). From darker colour, to some slightly reddish-copper-aunty-colour (OMG!) to even slightly brighter and lighter (to some extend perhaps lala too) colour which Joyce refers to as Ronald MacDonald hair. Rofl!

The reason why i dye my hair is, well, apart from because i wanted to cover up some of my gray hair (not like it matters because they will still magically grow strand-by-strand), but anyways, the main reason is because it's fun to get different colours for your hair! I always change my hair colour!

I know the judgments some people will pass on me without understanding the reason why, and some of them don't even know me ok! But i honestly don't care. And mind, because i always cut my hair, i don't bother (at all) to touch-up the roots because i know next month or so i'll probably get a new colour, so why bother? And it's nice getting new colours! It's exciting (to some extend)!
Ok, and apparently i think i have hair colour issues as well.
I can look at my hair colour one minute, is totally in love with it, and then hate it the next. What turf.

But it's still ok lar, considering i change colour with every hair cut, so i can change colour until i find one which i like! =D


And regarding bleaching my hair blonde, i honestly honestly wanted to do that!! HOWEVER, well, a few reasons had been holding me back.

• How if it turned out wrong and is those very fake yellow instead?
• Damaged hair (actually i looked passed this point, but thought i'll just add it here)
• How if it doesn't look good on me (actually i looked passed this point too; my theory is to just hide for one month if *I* (not you) think it doesn't look good on myself)

But ultimately...

• It's freaking expensive ok! You need a few bleach jobs to get it properly done, and i don't like the sound of that AND how much (the $$) it'll sound too.

So that said, even ME MYSELF wanted to try bleached blonde ok, and most people around me would know that i'm not the biggest fan of angmohs IN GENERAL. To be blunt, i don't like angmohs (in general). Yes, stereotypical and general comment blah-blah (on why i don't like angmohs). But why can't i be so when angmohs themselves stereotype girls with dyed hair are trying to be angmoh? Even angmohs stereotype Asians ok, why can't i stereotype them (on why i don't really like them)?

So ok, i wanted to bleach my hair to blonde... and i don't really like them... er... so why do i want to *be* them?

You can say because i'm trying to "pass myself off as Japanese or Korean" - which i DON'T, i only want to be myself and do whatever that *I* like, or what i think is cool, and not according to what YOU think or like - but seriously... trying to be angmoh?? Are you kidding me? What turf.
(I myself have disagreeing opinions on Japanese and Korean society's typical view on matter of appearance, so no way am i trying to be them, because it would made me a hypocrite.)

You don't have to "want to be angmoh" just by bleaching (or dyeing) your hair. That's just turfing judgmental AND stereotyping.



ps: And btw i don't like it when people say angmohs come to Asia to look for Asian woman!! Too stereotype opinion. Even though, i know it's difficult when er... sometimes you see a presumably less-attractive old angmoh guy with a hot young girl...
I want to go to Australia lor! But that doesn't mean because i want to marry an angmoh (though it does sound nice to have mix-kids), i just like it there!

And about angmohs attracted to Asians because they look Asians. What turf??? Racist much?? Cannot that the angmoh is attracted to the Asian girl (or vice versa) because they love each other very much and all those stuff?? Must it be about the appearance? Like that how if the angmoh is trying to look like an Asian (in theory it could happen)? I better don't look for an angmoh boyfriend dee, later people say my boyfriend is shallow because he only wants to be with me because i looked Asian. I'm so considerate towards my future (which is not likely to happen at all unless if it's Zac Efron or Lucas Till or Aaron Johnson) boyfriend. What turf!!

Massive update!

Oh yeah, i've finally gotten my ass around to do some very procrastinated updating!
On what?
MY PROJECT365!!
Haha, it's not forgotten ok (just massively late)!!
I find that a lot of people has given it up, but well, not me (yet)! Slow, but better than never =D!
And boohoo, actually i'm not exactly finished yet! But it'll do for now!

My last update was Day 109, and now it's Day 130! Lols, it has been a really long time isn't it? Hey, internet was limited ok when i was in Aussie! But ah, the days of super fast internet (ㅠ.ㅠ)...


This Blog requires lotsa updates too, which i don't think i'll be finishing it anytime soon... and there's still FB... and my files (OCD and all, don't ask)... BAH!

Oh well! Fighting (and stop procrastinating!)!

I don't care what anyone say!

I still super heart Jay Chou!
It's like he has etched himself into my heart, you just can't get rid of him XD!

I'm seriously the world's worst fans!
I don't know all his songs (by heart or not).
I don't know what's he doing currently.
I don't memorize anything about him (if you tell me his name i would probably go, "Oh really?". Oh really, i'm just kidding lar duh!).
I don't even keep myself updated about him!! etc etc.
Horrible fan or not?

BUT!
But i know he still gives me this warm fuzzy feeling everytime i hear his songs, or whenever i see him on tee-vee. So yeah, i really do still super heart him, fangirly speaking, he still melts me everytime i see him, and i think his HOT no matter what people say! So yeah, hehehe =P!

Sometimes i don't even bother telling people i'm a Jay Chou fan! It's like something which comes naturally, i know i like him - i have, am and still do - so i don't need to emphasize on that fact. I don't even bother being a "good fan" because i don't find it necessary having to proof to people that i am his fan!
I like him, i know it, and that's enough. (And if you don't like it, you can eat my pants!)
(Note to self: Buy more pants.)

He got Best Male Artist last Saturday at GMA (^^ )!




ps: Same thing with w-inds. =P! I still love them (Keita!!~) very much ok!

pps: My Jay song of the moment =D!

The song which made the whole of Redang rang because i was singing it aloud (K-session) while being (pretending) highly emo =D!
Hey, you do need to inject emotion into the song don't you, kekeke!

Boy's Generation!

AGAIN XD!!
(albeit it's Boy's Generation this time round!)

My opinions on it!

• I super heart my boys! They are so adorable! XD
  
  
• OMG Nichkhun (the one in purple pants)! CUTE! Like a little boy nya! His expression XD!
  
  
• JoKwon never disappoint me. Never. (The one with the yellow pants and a big smiley shirt). Whether in a good way or one full of sarcasm... well, it's for me to know and for you to find out. I can't afford having 2AM (PM? OMG i can't differentiate who from who where and what (= =")...) fans chasing after me with kimchi in their hands, aiming them at me, right?
  ps: I secretly thinks (ok maybe not so secret anymore) that JoKwon wants to be like me, or like my girlfriends. Cue at 2.26, the one with the light yellow pants. OMG!!!
  
  
• Key is cute! (light pink pants, black white top.)
  
  
• I find the "manliest" one is the one in hot pink pants. From er, 2PM (or 2AM?). The ironic of the whole thing. Manly dude in hot pink pants?
  (OMG GIMME MY SEUNGRI!!!!!!!!)
  And he gives me the air of one whose thinking, "OMG what am i doing here? I'm manly yo!" (or "JYP better be paying me enough to do this..."... lols!)
  
  
• The guy in orange pants is funny XD! It's like his rather manly, but his acting so girlish, it's like those dudes in the movie whose manly but acts girly!
  ...
  Ok, not a very helpful description. Bah!
  (His like those guy in drama or movies, who looks manly, but very shy and quiet and one way or another was forced to act "girly" and sweet. Lols!)
  

How much do i prefer this over Wonder Boys? I don't know, honestly, there isn't much JoKwon-ness in here for me to prefer this over Wonder Boys =P! LOLS SO MEAN!





pps: Don't get me wrong lar! JoKwon is a good entertainer ok! He plays his "roles" very well. It always shocks me when i see him perform on Korean music shows like MusicBank, when he sang 친구의 고백 with fellow 2PM (2AM?) members. It's like... OMG IS THAT JOKWON?. So manly there ok!! And his a good singer (and i like him best in the group so far)!
.
.
.
.
.
That said, you how first impressions are always most important?
And because JoKwon's first impression on me is well... yeah... so... yeah =P!

Henceforth, it's like forevermore, to me, secretly in my own head (ok not so secret anymore again)... it's like he had always wanted to be

Sunburn is not funny.

Thought of posting up a picture of the burn, but decided against it. Just in case i get sued for posting inappropriate content what turf.

What is sunburn?
First it feels like something is burning your back.
Then you can't sleep properly.
And when you do you wake up and feel like holy crap what's on my back!

Then it hurts.
And you have to carry two super heavy bags which you have to use your shoulder.
It was ok... until you realize you're actually a very hyperactive-jumpy person and...
Holy crap!
It actually hurts just by jumping!!

Then you got home, ah, HOME!! And ALOE VERA!!!
Which was honestly super disgusting (but it really helps) but very funny too because i kept laughing out loud because it was so cold and HeeChul came over because she was trying to console me (or maybe she was finding it funny).
Then it was, well, good! Yeah!
...
Till it hurts!
And worst... ITCH!!
WHAT TURF!!!

Just now, it itches SO BLOODY BADLY OMG!!
I seriously considered finding a tree and rub my back against it, like Baloo from Jungle Book.

Then sometimes when the sunburn thinks i don't have it enough for the day...
IT BLOODY BURNS ME!!
BLOODY HELL!!!
(ok, it all sounded wrong...)

All-in-all, having a sunburn sucks!
Will i do it again?? Do i still dare go under the sun and risk it again?
No for the first one (sunburn part), but YES for the second one!

I love the sun (it's kinda a love-hate-relationship), i love being under the sun especially if i'm at the beach (depends, shade must be nearby so i can run to-and-fro every few minutes, good exercise), so if given the chance i would still go under the sun and run around like The Kid on Crack i always am.
Best feeling in the world!~
But this time with super a lot of sunblock or suntan lotion. Not risking sunburn from the sun again! Even though by being under the sun i'm actually still risking it =P!


Another "present" from Redang would be that i've gotten tanner/ darker.
BY A LOT!
And when i say a lot, i *mean* A LOT!
I look so different now!

Which is fine really. I'm honestly not those girly-girls whose afraid of getting even a little darker, and that is from someone who needs 6 months to return to "original-skin-colour" with the risk of staying that colour forever (so racist, sorry!)!!
And as much as i do prefer my original colour, playing under the sun in the beach still rules over staying original, so yeah.

My only complain is:
1) My tan is never those nice tan. My mom says i looked dirty, literally. What turf.
2) Last time i wore this sleeveless which left some really unpleasant "bikini-lines" on my shoulders for six month, so this time i opt for something which leaves less line (but which did gave me more sunburn)... but apparently my neck is still kinda fair. Uneven skin tone. So i now look like i have three tone.
Face one colour, neck one colour, chest another colour.
WHAT TURF BLOODY HELL!!

Why lar can't i ever get a nice tan!! BAH!!!

Oh well, sunburn sucks, BAH!!

No more, please!

I remember telling my cousin sister i hope i don't get anymore soft toys for my upcoming birthday (20th June btw, mark it in your calendar XD!), because i just have too many of them! You'll be shocked!
Then again, i do love all my soft toys i have because they're my stars =)! Especially those people gave me, kekeke!

Anyways, on the other hand, i'm back from Australia! And check out some of my loot!

Which also goes to show that sometimes we should just eat our words and shut up.

ps: The one at the back is not from Australia, as adorable and cuddly as a Koala Bear she may be. (No, actually she's not, she bites!!)

God loves me.

Because they heard my prayers and granted me this:

(Stoled from Flickr =P!)

BOOST!!!
THE ALMIGHTY AMAZING ABSOLUTELY FANTASTICALLY WONDERFUL SUPER BOOST!!
BOOST XD!!!

Just when i thought i wouldn't be able to get it anymore (ㅠ.ㅠ) *tears of happiness*!!
BOOST XD!!
I miss it so much... it's been like... a week since my last cup T-T (i can have it everyday honestly)!!!
I miss it so much i've actually thought of ways to see how my cousin sister can "da-pao" for me when she comes to KL =P! Do you see how much i love it now (^^ )?

BOOST XD!!!



ps: The "God" mentioned in the title is of course, Guan Ying. I'm not Christian, nor is the "God" mentioned Lauren. Just in case =D! Thank you.

Dear friends.

It is with utmost regret for me to inform you guys that i have, unfortunately, gained a lot (a lot a lot) of weight from my recent trip to the land down under, Australia.

So i hereby declare that anyone, no matter who, who makes even the slightest mention or comment about my weight, or weight in general (or anything which i deemed related*), shall have their heads down the nearest toilet bowl. Or hanged by their toes.**

Thank you.




* My decision regarding such comments (whether they are or not related) shall be final.
** Whichever choice is to be decided by me, which is also final.

I miss Australia.

I remember doing this quiz on FB some time back (when the new FB came around and everyone started the "doing-quiz-craze"), on which country i should live in (something like that, can't find it now), and i got Australia.

Because apparently, it's Beach+City+People+Wildlife+Outdoor etc all in one, all the things which i truly love!

That said, the time i got that "answer", i actually doubted it because i've never even given Australia a thought (even though i really like that place, or to be more specific, Gold Coast). I mean, i'm happy being in Malaysia!

That was before i was *really there*, and so now...
I MISS AUSTRALIA!!
(and i super miss BOOST!)

I miss just about everything of it! Even the freakingishly cold Adelaide weather (i honestly wonder how did i survived Seoul last year? Did i get weaker in just a years time?) to the super windy (but very sunny yeah) Gold Coast's Surfers Paradise!! I love and adore Australia so much, it's like falling in love over and over again everyday i wake up =)!

And i get to do all this fantastic things which i had always wanted to do! In fact, i've accomplished like... half of the things on my "To-Do-List"! Doesn't that just tell you something about the amazingness and wonderness of Australia?
(ok, i sound like a travel agent or something now, i hope i don't jinx this!)



Then again, as much as i love it there... i know there's something, or to be more specific, SOMEONE, that keeps pulling me back to Malaysia.
And everyone knows who that someone is =)!

The Hee with the Hee necklace (^^ )!
I'm home baby (^^ )!

Crikey!

I am the happiest girl alive.

I've been to Australia Zoo!
(and even splatted on the sign!)

It was like the euphoric feeling couldn't stop even after the trip! I was smiling like the world is made out of all things good and sweet, it was just the best feeling in the world! I was really so happy!
That said, now looking back at my pictures now, a little regret why i didn't take more pictures of myself there! There's only a few!! (and not like i can go back there anytime soon!)
I guess i was just too happy being there i forgot about everything else =P!

The best part of the trip was being able to meet Charlie, Bindi and Graham, the three crocodiles!! I've seen them on tee-vee so many times, being able to see them in real life was just amazing! Very unbelievable! They are so beautiful (or the proper term, "What a beauty!")!

Then the "highlight" of the trip! I manage to see Terri Irwin (only her back though, but she said "Hi" to my cousin sister!) and met Bindi Irwin, i even took a (group) photo with her (^^ )!! Shame i wouldn't be able to meet Steve =).


As a little girl, i know that i love animals. I'm amazed by them! Apart from the cartoon channels, i also like watching Discovery Channel or Animal Planet (depends what program though).
And definitely, i've been watching Crocodile Hunter since i could ever remember! So Steve Irwin has sorta been like a childhood hero to me, or at least, a conservationist i highly respect. I've learned so much from him!

For starters, his entertaining and funny, it's definitely better than watching other boring educational programs ("Conservation through Exciting Education"!)! Another thing is he really reaches to his audience! You really learn educational conservation messages from him, and it really makes you feel like you want (and can) make a difference! I wouldn't be surprised if i'm so go-go on conservation (though i know i'm still far from purr-fect) because i was influenced by him!
A few things i've learned, just because an animal looks ugly to the "ordinary human", it doesn't mean they are "bad". In fact, i love crocodiles, lizards (exotic, not the common house type) and even snakes. It's probably an indirect influence from too many episodes of the Crocodile Hunter =P! (ooh, and i remember calling an Iguana cute once, and my brother stared at me weirdly =P!)

His one of the person that i really want to meet! I remember telling my dad that i wanted to go to Australia Zoo and meet Steve Irwin! And after so many years finally, i was able to go to Australia Zoo!! Too bad i was 3 years late, but it's ok, because it's just such an amazing place, it's great just to be there! It's the best place ever!

I'll definitely write about it another day! Let me just immerse myself in the happy feeling that i've finally made it to Australia Zoo (^^ )!~

YEAH!!



ps: Haha, this entry (about Steve) was sorta 3 years late =P! I just couldn't get myself to finish writing it, but yeah, i finally did (^^ )!

"HeeChuu"

My 3yo nephew calls my cat "HeeChuu".
Just now, he was repeatedly calling "HeeChuu", "HeeChuu" while eating his paupau. I was seated opposite him and said, "HeeChul".
Which then my nephew gave me the cutest, most adorable, cheeky, super cute smile ever!!
ADORABLENESS! XD
Words just can't describe how cute the smile was ok! (^^ )

OMG it's so cold now, why why why!!
That said, i know when i'm back in Malaysia, i'll sure start complaining "hot hot hot". I can never be satisfied can i =P? (that said, i honestly prefer tropical seaside-ish weather =P!)



ps: Initially, my nephew says "Cat" whenever i show him pictures of my cat. I told him it's "HeeChul". Now, he will say "HeeChul" whenever he see my cat's picture, and sometimes, even lions and other cats which look slightly like HeeChul!! Rofl! The adorableness XD!

pps: Oh gosh, talking about my warm fluffy puffy bun paupau makes me emo!! I better be ready for a good scolding, or be ignored for really long time (unlikely, since she's a very forgiving puff though very naggy) when i get back!!

Dyed hair is a curse.

No, seriously, it is.
First off, once you go "dyed", you never go back. At least for me it is.

I remember the good 'ol public school days, where dyed hair is a no-no. So the minute after SPM, everyone like... rush to get their hairs dyed.
I remember my first dyed hair... thinking back... OMG!
It was a brown base with blonde highlights. It looked nice sometimes, and lala most of the times what turf. Oh yeah, everyone had "those days". Sometimes it's just not wise to let people decide for your hair, even if they know what they're doing. (ok i'm kidding, i let my current stylist decide everything for me =P!)

After that, i grew my hair out and cut off the dyed parts, and was "black" for awhile. Then i dyed my hair again at this Aunty-ish hair-salon (omg i don't know how my mom got me to go there. The colouring was good, but the hair cut was...).
Then after that... WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE all the way and the black never see the day (ironic or pun or neither? Hmm...).

Oh yeah, and the "weeee" has been a good 4-5 years dah. I've never had black hair since.
Wait... am i that OLD?? (lols!) =P

Anyways, the "curse" part is having to re-dye after every few months!! The roots!!! GAH!!!
I don't do touch-ups, because i'm always looking for a hair cut, so it's kinda pointless. The plus point is i can experiment with different hair colours and eventually find a colour that i like (till i go for another new colour), the bad point is in-between dyes... the black roots!!

The funny thing about the roots is, when i had a lighter hair colour, my roots are not very obvious. However, since recently i've gone for a darker hair colour... the roots are OMG so super obvious! But isn't it weird? Isn't light+dark = larger contrast as opposed to dark and dark?

Either ways, i'm so not enjoying seeing my roots! That said, i like how the black and the hair colour blends!
If only at the parting... kekeke!

I NEED A HAIRCUT!!

If i said i was in England...

Would you believe me (^^ )?
Gosh, i love old buildings like this!

New Moon.

OMG i didn't know the trailer was out!!
Gosh, i like how the wolf doesn't look too scary or monstery (even though looks fake... but anyways, i don't like *that* wolf. Not Jacob lar, Taylor Lautner just because (i want Steven Strait or Corbin Bleu)!!

But hmm, after all the hype about Twilight, i think Poo's opinion is getting to me (what turf go away Poo), that i don't find the "woo-hah" and all the "ahhhhhh *girly squeal*" for the series anymore. Or maybe because i'm getting bored of it? I'm actually quite tired of it dee (gasp! what happened?)!! Overrated perhaps?? Or maybe i just don't really like New Moon so i don't feel the need to be excited over it? (that said, i thought i *liked* New Moon what turf).

Ok, i'm so contradicting myself. Just ignore what i've just said.


I'm leaving Adelaide tomorrow morning =(! I'll miss it here!
It's small, there's no 1-Utama or farm animals around or anything (that said, those people *are* leaving me so what the!!!)... there's no mamak, and nighttime is practically online or sleep (or eat and get fatter)... that said, i'll sure miss here!
