New Year Eve ♥ ![]() Can you believe another year had passed and today's already New Year's Eve? Trust me; it took really long to convince me that today is the last day of the year 2009 and we're slowly approaching year 2010. It's something to celebrate and something to dread. “Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.” I personally dread the New Year. Why you ask? New Year is suppose to be a happy day as a start of a new day. It would also mean, we're maturing, we're growing and more problems arise in this new year. Nothing much to dread about, just the feeling. I've ticked my book of 2009 Resolutions and there are some which I failed to accomplish and till now, I feel unsatisfied. So tomorrow on New Year, my mom's going to bring the family out to The Ship in Pavillion to celebrate her brother's birthday which is on New Year's Day itself. The following day, we're going to Red Box at Pavillion to have some karaoke with mom's friends. I really hope we wouldn't end up singing old songs. The next, we would be having a Christmas Dinner and my cousin would be back from Australia then. Then the following, the school reopens. Isn't there so many things left accomplish just yet?

Italy Trip [Part 3] ♥The final part of my trip. I skipped a day as I was pretty busy then. And ugh..how lazy I feel and how vulgar I felt throughout the entire day! I had the need to yell out a string of cusses and I swear I will soon. I feel so damn exhausted, that's why and I'm in a mood that the moment you talk to me, I might just snap. I'm answering people in 'Hmm.." and "Hn.." and "...." currently more than usual. Or worse at times, which I don't even bother answering. [//rubs the bridge of my nose] Day 9 [21.12.09] We woke up early again for the train ride back to Rome again. The trip was really short and we pretty much couldn't wait to get back to Rome. Everything single roman ruins was there and no where else. We looked for the apartment first thing when we reached Rome and it appeared to be rather close to the Colosseum. A little further from the Metro, unlike the first one but it was close to the Carefore Supermarket. The room was huge and large and was really cosy but the down side was the fact that we had to pay the charges in cash. Since the Colosseum was the closest, we decided to go there first in case of tiredness which always overcome us during a day with a train ride. Obviously, we had to pay for the entrance fee. Nothing is free, after all. This is the Italy Arc. "Silhouette" mode. This was where the rumoured Christians were killed during the Roman Empire until the Pope came along. My dad trying to push the rock. x3 It looks nicer when it's litted up. Day 10 [22.12.09] We went to the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill on the 10th day. It was drenchy and wet and it was really miserable and felt as though we shouldn't had left. But since we already paid for the tickets, too bad - we have to enter. We could only spend 3 hours in this area and we used most of it up in the forum since it's another rubble of ruins. Palatine Hill, on the other hand was a garden and we felt as though there wouldn't be much there since it's winter and it was raining, after all. They had marble then and it shows that the Romans were very rich. This arc was built by the brother of one of the Roman Emperors. We quickly went back to the apartment went we noticed that the rain started getting heavier. We hibernated there for a few couple of hours and decided to go out again when it steadies at approximately 3pm. We went to the centre of Rome and saw many Christmas Decorations all around. The roads were busy as it was offpeak and everybody was probably doing last minute Christmas Shopping. Capital Hill. It's suppose to be something like Tugu Negara but this is a building and not a statue. We walked about everywhere and ended up in a market square - Piazza Navona. They sold many things as well as huge sized doughnuts and it was tempting to actually buy one and munch on the way back home. We then walked back home and found out that we actually walked some distant! We passed the Capital Hill again saw how it looks when it's litted up at night. Much prettier. Day 11 [23.12.09] We went to the Vatican City. The Vatican City, as I said, is a completely different country from Rome. It's a country IN Rome, but it's not a city IN Rome. It's a country of it's own and this place is where the Pope lives. My sister playing with shadow. TaiChi! We went into the Tomb Of The Pope first, where all the bodies of the previous Pope(s) were placed. Cameras wasn't allowed because there ARE people praying there. We exited into the Basilica, the place where the Pope would do his sermons. ![]() We went to a small pizza joint to buy a few slices of pizza to eat as our lunch and went back towards the Basilica square where we meet the same couple we met at McDonalds the night before. We found out that they were both from Holland and the guy was originally an Indonesian. He said "Selamat Pagi" to us and we all answered "Zhao An". After talking to them for some time, we made our way towards the Vatican Museum! Muzium Negara is definitely not as beautiful as Vatican. There were arts and thepastry and old stuff from Egypt there and at the end of the museum, there lay the Sistine Chapel. All the arts around this chapel itself was painted by Michaelangelo; the person who made David back in Florence. He drew everything so nicely. Each story from the bible was made into an art and it was magnificent. Judging by the amount of time I mentioned his name, it seems that he is one of the best artist in the Roman Art History! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My sister and dad was like "MALACCA!" and then when we looked at the map again, then, "This is not even Semenanjung! Wtf!?" ![]() Okay...Listen here.. My brother has that shirt the person in the picture is wearing. We have a Nikon camera too. Thing is, dad used the Nikon camera to take this picture and my bro was strolling somewhere with mom. And this person is actually a girl and not a boy! WTF! I was denying the fact that that was my brother when it's someone else and am still is. My sister said "That's not Brandon". I said "It Is dammit!" The staircase. It's so winding! The window up there. My part was taken without me knowing! D: It was not allowed to take any pictures in the holy place; the Sistine Chapel. So if you guys wanna see, I rather you google it or go there and look. It was really amazing. It was getting dark the moment we exited the museum but we were hungry so we just stopped by a random cafe which looks like the waitress were all asians; and ate gelati, tiramisu and cake there. It was really tasty and we didn't want to leave. This is another pickpocket story and this one is uber awesome. At least, the guy was. Heh.. We were in the metro to get back to the apartment. My sister and brother were both sitting down. My mom and dad was standing beside them and I was standing; hanging onto the pole in front of the door; more or less beside my dad. Then when it stopped at a station, this couple which looks korean/japanese/chinese; a tourist, entered and a woman came in behind them. It was pretty slow and it was obvious as I was staring right at the door. The woman put her hand into the guy's bag and took her hand out again with her hands empty. The guy looked at her then she mumbled something in Italian that we couldn't understand. The guy then checked his bag and instictively, he dragged the woman that was walking out back into the metro by the hood. [woahhh]. The woman started screaming something in Italian and I saw that she was holding a "baby". Another baby pickpocketing again, whatsoever. I didn't want to get into that mess though I saw everything so I just walked towards my family and stood there and stared at the commotion. One man came out from his seat and glared at her and that woman immediately shut up. I suppose that man's a police or something. But it seemed that the tourist didn't lose anything or the woman would be in deep shit. Overrated, theft is these days. We went back to the apartment and went out not long after to do some gift hunting. We found the Trevi Fountain earlier than expected but didn't stay long because we would be returning there the following day. Day 12 [24.12.09] It turned out that today was the PMR results was announced today. I'm pretty happy with my results. I expected lower, actually. But I shan't curse any farther. We went to the Spanish Steps. I didn't find anything nice there. Just the steps and the end. It was built by the Spanish people - explainable. The steps And that was pretty much it. We walked from there to the Trevi Fountain again; getting lost in the midst and I had to navigate all of us there. We passed by a place called "Pantheon" and just took picture of that place. We were not really sure what that place represents. 3 coins in a fountain; Trevi Fountain. Heard of it? ![]() Finally! The end! This post has a lot of pictures thanks to the Vatican. But otherwise, I'm satisfied. I can now close my book of agenda and read my blog once again about my experience in Rome. Currently watching the show; "Beyond The Realm Of Conscience" and liked it. イタリアの旅[パート3] Labels: italy trip part 3

Italy Trip [Part 2] ♥Another update and I really hope I have the time to update another four days. As you see, I didn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned but never got my sleep. I ended up taking my pillow to another room and read the bible, drawing and a KATA IMBUHAN book. Pretty desperate to sleep, right? But I honestly have to sleep. Oh right, I've forgotten to upload the pictures of the cathedrals back in the Miracles Piazza. Day 5 [17.12.09] We pretty much overslept and had yummy breakfast provided in that apartment. It was suppose to be a heavy day that day as we had a full day there. Perfection! Anyway, we walked towards the bus station to take a bus up to Piazza Michaelangelo. Yup, it's the naked David. But it's just a replica of the original. The original is situated in the Art Gallery which we didn't visit. Ughh, I look damn f-ed in that hat. But I had no choice. It was so cold that my ears starting hurting and I had no choice but to wear that hat of mine. We then attempted to walk back to our apartment which was pretty far or not so far away from the place we are at. Some random tower which we describe as a "Spider Web" building. We passed by the Florence Floating Bridge or whatever you call it but due to the restoration work again, it's all ruined! This was the other side of the bridge which looked nicer. Hehe.. We saw DUCKS! We walked on the bridge and passed a few stores. Mom got a leather bag from one of the stores there. Florence was pretty well known for leather and thus, it's cheaper there compared to buying it in Malaysia. What do you thing these locks are for? We went towards the Art Gallery of Florence and saw the statues. David was located inside but there was an outside Gallery as well and entrance was free, unlike the indoor one. We then used the map and tried navigating back towards our apartment and to our utter shock, we found Florence's Duomo & Basilica and ALSO THEY WERE UNDER RESTORATION WORK! The Duomo. We had to pay for the entrance and we kind of, was short of money. So we didn't enter it. Sadly enough. The Basilica's entrance was free and we just charged in. Hehe. As usual, the cathedrals in the European countries and magnificent. With all the amazing arts and architecture, you just can't believe that you are actually mesmerized by it. Here are some of the pictures in the cathedral (basilica) We felt cold around then and it was getting darker. We went into a cafe and ordered a hot chocolate and Tiramisu. The Tiramisu was so delicious! The taste of coffee wasn't strong and there was no alcohol in it unlike most of the others. I really want to eat the Tiramisu there again. We continued walking back and got to a place that represents a pasar malam. It sold many things, original and made from china stuff. Day 6 [18.12.09] We checked our of Florence today and took a train to Naples. It was 3 hours long and my butt was sore then, hehe. Hoping that Naples would be as beautiful as Venice and Florence was a face down. The place looked like a rundown version of ROME! The car honking continuously and the really bad traffic. The lack of traffic lights and the amount of "hak yan" scared us. The landlady fetched us from the train station and walked us towards the apartment. The way she crossed the road itself was scary. She didn't look left nor right and just crossed assuming that the cars wouldn't hit. I was really terrified. After checking in, we attempted to walk around Naples but got freaked out by the hazardous and chaotic traffic. We wanted to get to the Duomo only to find that it didn't look as nice as the other places, VERY RUNDOWN. But to our hearts content, there was an exhibition going on somewhere near the Duomo and we decided to just look around. There was even a Michael Jackson figurine there. We didn't bother to take our cameras out because there certainly wasn't anything to see other than cheap clothes. We ended up walking back to our apartment early and wasted a day in Naples. Day 7 [19.12.09] We woke up early and set out our trip to Herculaneum, which was the town closest to Mount Visovious but so much to our hearts hated it, it was raining and the shuttle adviced us not to go there today or it would be a total waste of money. It was 16.50 euros per person. So we didn't go and hoped really hard that the next day would be dry. Instead, we went to the town of Pompeii. The town that was left with complete ruins because of the lava flow from the volcano and destroyed the entire town of Pompeii. 2000 people who lived in Pompeii died of suffocation of the lava gas. Thankfully, everybody was fast enough to runaway before the lava flowed towards the town. We got a preety friendly English Talking Guide to show us the way. You'd be surprise on how big the ruins of Pompeii is. It's ludiciously HUGE! I took a lot of pictures here and it could easily make up to 50 pictures. I only picked a few nice ones. It was raining but we could manage with an umbrella and our jacket hoods. This was situated in the female's shower if I wasn't mistaken. This was where they got their source of water. A tree that's still alive all this while. The garden of Pompeii which grew fresh thankfully to the lava. Each colour of the small tiles on the floor represent different things. Green for vegetation. Red for meat/blood & Yellow, I've forgotten. This is called, the pee pot. A potty. The place you pee into. They had pizza in olden days as well and that is their stove. The thing in the middle of my family members is the place where they dough the pizza. Amazing, isn't it? We then walked back and ate lunch at an area which fleeced us! We were already down with cash and this guy told us to eat at his family's restaurant. We didn't read the door at first indicating that we could use the credit card to pay for our meal. Everything was VERY EXPENSIVE there and when my dad wanted to pay for the bill, the guy said no credit card. When we exited, then we saw the sign. Gah! We took this picture on our train ride back. This is suppose to be Mt. Visuvious. It was still pretty early when we got back and we didn't want to waste any time in Italy. We decided to go to the 'more civalized' part of Naples and thankfully, yes we did. We took a tramp to Dell Ovo Castle which was really beautiful and it was overlooking in the ocean at Naples City Lights. The castle in sight. This private ships. Only the riches could buy a ship and hold in this port. I have a feeling that the hotels here are having some kind of competition. All the hotels had Christmas Trees at each room window and I liked this best! Day 8 [20.12.09] It was an awesome day. The grounds were dry and the sky was shining brightly that it hurts! We went to Herculaneum again and bought tickets to Mt. Visuvious; the volcano! It was a pretty winding trip up to the mountain but it was damn worth it! The shuttle suddenly stopped halfway and we all got down to play with some snow while the guys adjusted the chains onto the wheels to continue his way up the mountain. When everything was done, we got back onto the shuttle and made our way up. We were greeted by a husky which was uber cute! I should had got it's picture! Anyway, we made our way up and were given only 2 hours! It was tiring but we just ignored that! The view was awesome and the cold didn't affect us because hiking up kind of brings out some sweat. Ignore the hat man! I made that snowball! And trust me, when you use that one that I made, you could break somebody's skull with it. It took several attempts to actually shatter that ball! His was not enough to crack a skull. A gentle pinch and everything breaks. ![]() This is the crater and it's blur for some reason.We then hiked down back to the shuttle and back to Herculaneum to take the train to Sorrento. Another beautiful and magnificent town. There were Christmas decorations all around and saw many souveneir stores selling different things and considering that Sorrento is one place where the rich stays, the stuff being sold are pretty cheap! It ranged between 5-30 euros. It's cheaper compared to places back in Venice and Florence. We then overlooked the ocean from a far end before going up close. When we got closer, the breeze was much better. We didn't walk by the port. We walked about from a high spot. It would be freezing to go near the water area. Venice was cold enough. We had a feeling that the faded island is the Isle of Capri. The most beautiful island in the whole of Italy and where the rich always go. I'm sure you've heard the song "The Isle Of Capri". The port. My daddy! We dreaded to leave Sorrento thanks to the beauty. But we went home anyways and it was close to darkness. Heh. So, the final part of my Italy trip would be posted tomorrow! イタリアの旅[パート2] Labels: italy trip part 2

Italy Trip [Part 1] ♥Well, this is only part one of my post and I have about 150 pictures that is needed to be uploaded and stuff like that. It freezes halfway every now and then and I have to re-upload them. It's really not my fault but photobucket//blogger's fault if my blog hangs and yeah. Other than that, just scroll down and you can read about my happy time in Italy for 2 weeks or more specifically, eleven days and a half. Day 1 [13.12.09] We reached Rome also known as Roma at about 5.45am at Leonardo Da Vinci airport. It wasn't like our airport where the airplane goes into a lot and place the extender to the door. For Italy, we have to get out of the airplane and run through the cold towards a bus which would take us into the airport. Well, at least that would be the fresh air we would get for the time being. Parents collected the luggage and proceeded towards the exit to get onto a Limo my sister requested online so we wouldn't end up walking in the chill morning looking for our apartment which was located about 30 minutes away from the airport! We packed and burhsed our teeth as normal and drank soup for breakfast since people like me, don't eat in the airplane. I have some thing against the food there, everything just smells bad. Our apartment is located opposite the Roman Colosseum and above the metro! Convenience! When it got brighter, we went out to take a few snaps. Rome was just a touch down airport. We didn't really plan to stay there for long yet. We just walked about; not far from our apartment then walked back home at about 5pm and got onto the bed. We had jet lag then and so, we slept all the way until the next day. We totally forgotten about dinner, but whatever. Guess why? We skipped one meal everyday. Not a very healthy diet, right? Day 2 [14.12.09] We started our real trip today. We woke up at 4am thanks to the long sleep and had our brinner [Breakfast & Dinner]. We had malaysian instant curry noodles that we packed for the trip to save cost. We slacked around by watching television, bathing and doing anything that would keep us occupied til 8am when we started packing and making our trip towards the Roma Termini Train Station to Venice or rather known as Venezia. Us on the train and NO! I AM NOT LALAPOSING! That's my mom and I eating chocolate croissants that we bout from the station. 0.90 euros! If those numbers were from MYR, I would call it cheap! But once it comes to euros, it's RM4.50! Oh shucks. Anyway, the train ride was pretty long and we passed by a snowy area. I had to take out the Coolpix camera and took a fast snap because the train kept on going underground and I was cussing the entire way there. I managed to take 4 pictures but I would only show one. That place is called Bologna. Slightly southerly compared to Venice but it's an intercity so it's generally colder. Venice wasn't snowing but they had water coast and therefore it's warmer! Venice was well - beautiful. With all the canals and boats and the main reason that there are no cars at all so there is not frightened feeling that I would get hit by a car! But we would have the scare feeling that we would fall into the water though and that isn't a nice idea in Winter. Venice is beautiful, is it not? People said that if ever the ocean tides go high, Venice would be the first to sink. In the morning, the tides are really high and water was actually coming in close to the apartment. Scary but nice. Another picture of Venice. We went to the town to find a Supermarket and stopped by an area which represents a China Town. That supermarket is in fact, the first place we found eggs! We had lurked everywhere and the eggs just seems to be impossible to find. I guess the italians doesn't eat eggs as much as us Asians do. We bought a slice of pizza for 2 euros for dinner. Don't they look delicious? Day 3 [15.12.09] Today is a bigger day. We went to the St Marco Basilica which is one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. The only down part was they had many scarf-foldings. They are doing some restoration work before Christmas therefore there are so many cranes and stuff which disrupts the picture. We took a water bus to the other parts of Venice to look at the duomo and basilica there. It was literally flooded thanks to the high tide there! We had to walk on stuff which looks like a table to not get our feet and pants wet. The risk of falling into the water was also at a higher risk here. Isn't it fantastic? Fun fact; Pigeons are fed so much in Venice and they are so fat! The bridge of sigh was under restoration work. It's much prettier than this but now it just looks like a bridge embossed into a poster. Horrid! Do a google image search to look at how it's like. This bridge is where all the prisoners which was sentenced to death; given a last chance to look at the Sun before they die. ![]() This was like...so random? We went walking after that and bought some Venizian Face Masks. We missed dinner as well that day and ate some small stuff when we woke up some time later. It was really exhausting and not to mention all those walking! Day 4 [16.12.09] Woke up early again as we had a train to catch to Florence. The trip was about 2 hours and we saw Bologna in snow again. I just can't extinguish the thought of snow in my head. It's really something great. Mom bought some croisants again to eat on the train. We named our family as 'Wai Sek Family' because we packed our bags with food from the airplane and other stuff given by people. We had 5 cardboard biscuit (Luxury Biscuit) ; 5 Cheese ; 5 Fruit Cake ; 5 Tolberone Chocolate and a lot of sweets. We reached the apartment with a fairbit of getting lost but the place was fantastic. It looked like a blackalley area at first but when we entered, it gives a homey aura. It was a family business and according to my sister, the daughter of the owner sounded a little bit Singaporean without the lah and the mah. We left our luggage outside our room as the room was not cleaned up yet. It was safe anyway because the owner checks around reguarly and wouldn't allow any stranger in. In fact, they are the first people that actually came to Malaysia before. They had a scroll of all the Malaysia countries at their reception. For once, I felt good to be Malaysian. We took a regional train later on and went to The Miracles Plazza where three main attractions were situated. The Leaning Tower Of Pisa, The Duomo and The Basilica. It was really nice there with the wind constantly blowing. ![]() My mummy and daddy!! ![]() I look damn f-ed here so whatever. After taking ludicriously amount of pictures here, failing light was approaching and we took back the train to Florence. It didn't occur to me until much later when my dad mentioned it. My dad nearly got pickpocketed on the train back. There was this middle age woman standing in front of my dad looking as though she was looking for something small and having trouble. In between my dad and me was another middle age woman carrying something which looked like a baby with it/his/her face covered with a pink blanket. My dad kept on saying excuse me to the girl in front and she just ignored it and then he felt his wallet being uplifted. He then snapped his hand onto his wallet and nudged the "baby" at the back of him and she goes yelling "My baby! My baby!" and when she said that, the woman in front of my dad just walked away and my dad and I walked towards my mom, sister and bro which was already sitting down. There was another pickpocket incident but I'll explain that when I talk about that place instead. I shall end part 1 here and only resume part 2 and probably 3 later on this week. I'm actually pretty lazy to update stuff with loads of pictures. That's just me so... イタリアの旅[パート1]
Saturday, December 26, 2009 7:13 PM
The Truth Is The Lie ♥ ![]() I'm back from Italy and honestly, I do not wish to leave that place at all. It was paradise there and everything was perfect. Except for the rain which was certainly in the way most of the time. I spent Christmas on transit and it was horrible. The crowd broke into a hand of applause when the airplane landed in KLIA and my sister and I was giving the 'WTF' face? I am thoroughly sure that somebody started it and people just followed. I have a few pages full of notes and 800 pictures from the camera to pick to update my blog sometime later. I have to resize and edit them properly and that really depends whether I wish to spend so much time trying to do that. The pictures from the DSLR is huge! I might just take it from the ordinary camera but there certainly isn't any sparks when I do so, right? Anyway, thanks Allysha for updating my blog once. I didn't go to Montelpuciano, sadly enough. But I did pass the Volterra station on the way to Florence if I wasn't mistaken. Italian food there are way much better compared to the Italian joints in Malaysia. It's fabulous there and stuff. Weather wise, it was pretty cold and miserable in Venice and a little in Florence but not so much for Rome and Naples, thankfully enough. It was also a good thing that we didn't go to Paris & London this year. The incident of the crashed Eurostar in Paris was horrible. I took the Eurostar train last year and imagine if I was in their shoes this year! I wouldn't be able to attend school for the first few days. I've changed my layout thoroughly so out of boredom but I kind of like it? I missed so many stuff for the past few weeks and I have to catch up on those. I still can't believe I missed Christmas alright! And today is Boxing Day; but I wouldn't get gifts since I'm not in the USA. Eculid.. 真実うそだ
Friday, December 18, 2009 4:34 PM
An update. ♥Hello fellow readers :D By the way, it's Allysha here blogging for Amanda while she's at Italy. Well, Amanda apologize for the lack of updates because she said that Internet or Wi-fi facilities are not every where and easy to get in Italy. Oh, and she used Linux operating system there =p Before this, Amanda was at Pelago in the province of Florence, region of Tuscany. The region of Tuscany is located up north of Rome, on the eastern shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea. I guess that place is synonymous with amazing food, great wine tasting and lush rolling landscapes :) Surely as a product of its environment, Tuscany gave birth to the Renascence and many of the artist whose work inspired it. Central Tuscany also supports a thriving agricultural industry and is responsible for its world-renowned reputation in wine and olive oil production, as well as a growing trend in agri-tourism. Hm-mm, and she sure have visited the Cathedral and Leaning Tower of Pisa at Tuscany. By guessing what Amanda told me, she's now in the cities of Florence since she told me she's at Stefan's birth place. What about the Duomo? Ponte Vecchio? Oh, and you can visit Montepulciano too! The town of the Volturi's place but it's not in Florence. Amanda, just in case you read this post, I might not be able to get your PMR results for you. It's not that I don't want, but my mom said I have to get some authority letter from you if you want me to get it on your behalf which is obviously too late in this case. 'M not totally sure whether anyone can just help collect someone's results so easily. I'll try doing it but if I can't get it done, well, then that's just it. I'll ask the teachers and see how too. That's all; ♥

Goodbyes for 2weeks? ♥Well, this would be my last post before I leave for Italy and might start blabbering lots of words about it later on together with my results, but whatever. Daddy bought a DSLR and it D5000! Hehehe, dad wanted to buy the D3000 but after a few convincing from the promoter or whatever, he prefers the D5000. But that guy in Foto Shangrila didn't give a better discount compared to the one Allysha told me; J One at Amcorp Mall. Hehehe, so my dad got about RM500 discount off and it was exactly in his budget! x3 Hehe, I was abusing the usage of it until my dad whacked my hand, whoops. There was a woman with her daughter that wanted to buy seven D90s. x___x Wow! Anyway, I'm going to leave for the airport in less than 2 hours time, so I'll try getting all this gifts for all my dear friends alright. But don't go throwing eggs at me once you don't like it. Pretend you like it so I wouldn't feel bad! x3
Wednesday, December 9, 2009 3:49 PM
Dignified? ♥I have not been blogging...rather regularly and I know that. But I have reasons! I've been spending too much time talking to people on the other side of the world and I've been writing my stories [also not so regularly]. In fact, I've been surfing around different blog skin sources to find a more 'Formal' one. I can hardly find those anymore besides the one used in wordpress, of course. I found a few in blogskins by this designer and some of them are really nice and I might plan to change to her skin anytime soon. In fact, I already have one in mind. Anyways, why am I blogging again? Because the voices told me so, right. Or the more perfect answer is, the voices of my friends told me so! That is more precise! Until I actually come back from Italy, I wouldn't have anything coherent and sane enough to blog something so boring everytime. All I know is, I have to focus on making new friends in Gaia and have a really fun time in Italy. Remember, I am NOT going to provoke the Volturi!. x3 I doubt there's a place called Volterra in Italy anyway. At least, I'm not going there. x3 And I'm not going to Juliet's- from Romeo & Juliet- birth place either because that place is pretty much boring. .___. And well, since I am already blogging, I might as well post some pictures of the earrings I made on my last class. x3 I am in love with them. Especially the blue and pink one. x3

Swollen Ankle ♥Well, people have been asking me on why I never updated my blog. Hey, you people don't even leave a message and you're complaining!? Haha.. Anyway, it's actually laziness. I just don't have anything to blog about until my return which would probably be together with my PMR results and that is certainly something I do not wish to know. It's practically fun for two weeks then depression for the rest of the month until school reopens and that is really un-FUN? Anyways, I had a bad sprained ankle when yesterday when I attended my brother's VBS concert. Hmm, all I wanted to do was take a video of his performance and it was horrible. Not the dance, but him. I risked my poor ankle just to take a video of his no-enthusismistic and embarassing himself of more than 500 people in Church! And yes, it's swollen. It swelled pretty badly that I have to limp for two days and today, I could finally walk properly with a little limp now and then. Ugh, it hurts. I put the Deep Burning Lotion, Hot Rice & Hot Egg - yes! Till that extreme just to heal my ankle before my trip to Italy. Why must I get this before the TRIP!? I'm going to suffer a lot when I have to run after a train there ever. Gosh, somehow, today I just feel pissed with some unknown reason.

Vampires ♥I was just reading in JustJared about this and I just had to laugh at that small bit of punt hidden in there. ![]() Glee starlet Lea Michele looks lovely in leather at the L.A. premiere of New Moon on November 16 (Monday) and at True Colors Cabaret in New York City on Sunday (November 29). The 23-year-old actress wore a Shoshana L leather dress by Theory to rub elbows with Twilighters and rocked a gown by Helmut Lang while performing in NYC with her former Spring Awakening co-star, Jonathan Groff. After the premiere, Lea tweeted her thoughts on vampire romance: “I don’t understand the vampire rules…how come Stefan and Elena can ‘do it’ but Bella and Edward can’t???” Ha!This is like so true. .___. As in, seriously..

Italy! ♥Well, I am never the type to actually posts an orchestra on my blog, but this is plain awesome. Suikoden II intro theme song! And Suikoden had never been those popular video games and they actually played it in Switzerland! Uwahh..I want to go to Switz now! :3 The way they played it is so beautiful. How can they do the orchestra there and not in Asia? Anyway, I'm going to Italy and I'm praticularly happy because of that. Do you know how long I've been wanting to go there? Oh, how much I love my parents! Heh, don't worry, I didn't go to Italy to provoke the Volturi. :3 I have no intentions on getting myself killed by vampires. Heh.. Obviously, Rome is the main attraction! Missing Romeis as though, missing the main part of town. It's a city centre, so my interest is not really there other than the colleseum and the wishing fountain. I remembered loving this place when I watched the TVB show "Triumph Into The Skies". I'm also going to Florence. Do you know who's hometown is this?It is Stefan and Damon Salvatore's (Vampire Diaries) birthplace! Hahaha, I remembered that well, I think! Naples! A port town actually. :3I'm not very sure what is there to see in Naples but judging by all the image I've seen it's a very water-base area. Remember Venice and the Gondola? Yes I'mgoing there too! The town which floats on the water. Wow, I better be careful not to fall into the water or I'm going to have a hard time swimming back to the surface. Heh... I just can't wait. And right, talking about Italy and the Volturi, I've already watched New Moon with a couple of friends. Well, I can't really say that my ratings are fair but I will only give ★★☆☆☆ for the movie. I'll give you the reasons. It's good because; i - The effects are just plain awesome and the scenery wise is much much better compared to twilight. ii - Jacob Black shirtless? Well, who wouldn't want that! Man, I love all the Jacob scenes! It's bad beacuse; i - The plot was horrible. ii - Edward looked as though he had a knife stabbing him throughout the entire show. iii - The bloody show ended with a cliffhanger! One thing I have to admit is; Chris Weitz is an awesome director. He is much much better compared to Catherine Hardwicke. A couple of characters caught my attention other than Jake. Hmm, Paul ; Demetri ; Felix, Alec. Don't ask why, I just find them hot. :3

Nanowrimo ♥I'm finally done with my nanowrimo. Yes! 50,000 words in the month of NOvember is definitely over. That is certainly one good news. But the bad news is, it's already December! Oh goodness! How did one month pass so fast? It's just so unfair! I want my holidays to be longer now - I'm bloody hell serious! I got my certificate as well! I'm really sorry Xinyi, I couldn't upload it. It kept on hanging my computer. But I can share the certificate with you if you want. (: Gah, now it's back to uploading my fanfiction.net story. So sorry to those who waited. --sigh.

Beads Working. ♥Have been busy arranging the positions of each bead on my bead board and I really hope my creativity skills are enough. Sadly, my creativity level is very low..and I need some help with that. Eep.. I have been stressing out on this way much more compared to the time I was stressing out for my PMR and it is not very good considering. Look exactly how my computer table looks like currently. Filled with stuff stacking all over - causing poor me to actually strain my hands and fingers to type. My bead board directly opposite my keyboard and kind of blocking my way to type. The right side of my table. .__. The left side of my table. Yes, I'm bound to get scoldings from my mom. And to inform you, this is just my computer table and not my room study table which is obviously worse. So to say, "No visitors during the holidays if possible". Unless you do have a very good reason to because it's really embarassing to have a room and place in that kind of condition. Mystery Google. Yes, try it out and it works like your normal basic google.com.... or not?Just try it and be astonished by the results it gives because... ((spoiler)) Heh..just a short update to tell ya that I don't really have the time to update my blog. Another 10,000 more words and I'm done for the month of November. Hiatus mode could be back to acitve mode. My dear reviewers would have me back and I love {♥} you guys! And don't forget New Moon too! And one more thing, I found this picture of the Cullen Clan and kinda..loved it.

Infruriated ♥Went to One Utama with Olivia today, well, Khai Yean couldn't make it although I asked her last minute. Claiming that her parents wouldn't allow her and they didn't give her a valid reason. Sadly much. I guess I'll hold her presant a hostage now hmm.. Spent most of our money on books at MPH. Trust me, it was painful but it was worth it? Can't say yet. Anyway, we shared money to buy Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice and Dark Visions [Olivia's mostly]. The cover is the same as Allysha's one - you will get the idea if you go to Harper Collins website. Anyways, I don't wish to talk about that place because that was the place the money went into the drain. Anyway, the main reason we went to OU in the first place was to catch a movie. ![]() It was good. It wasn't as bad as what people said, but it wasn't as awesome as what other people says it as well. The end of the world looked a little bit fake but all the details put are all very nicely done. I would rate it ★★★★☆ Haha..fair no? It could had easily been five but to be more precise, four stars is the better choice. Outside the cinema, I saw people that I wish I did not see them. Jonathan, Egan and some other girls which I wasn't sure who they were. Probably after I left, they came in. Saw a couple of people there. I saw Yen Yin aronud the supermarket area. I was staring at her and she stared back at me. Then she pointed at me and my eyes widened. For a moment there, I didn't know who she is until I came back home and remembered it. I met her in BM tuition. She's a year older than me and studies in SMKDJ. Then I saw Jo Ee. Kind of stalked her in Homing but just for a short while. Heh..We were kind of waiting for Olivia's brother to meet up with her and stuff and on the way we saw Firbie. Heh.. That is what you get if you stay at an area for a little too long. :)

♥I am here to post about yesterday as you know, I hardly post a thing other than the birthday wishes. Heh.. But I really hope everybody in the birthday bash would enjoy themselves a lot. My sister returned from Melbourne already and there she is, taking over my time slot and that's part of the reason no one saw me online in the morning. Sigh. But it wasn't entirely her fault until the afternoon. Streamyx killed our line again and there. Horrible connection we have - don't you think? ![]() Yes, that's her eating her instant noodles. She had a major pimple break out there. Austrailia was really hot and dry by the way she said it. It was probably worse there compared to Malaysia's hot weather. Okay okay. That's enough with the main character, role or whatever. It's my brother's birthday and since I am not the photo type much, I only have four pictures. ![]() "Happy Birthday Bran Bran" - it says. Look at the strawberry, peach and kiwi fruit. Honestly, they are really sweet and tasty. Not like the usual one you find here but those which taste as though they are from overseas. Yumm.. And the chocolate too.. ![]() He gave that -close ear- reaction because we started singing the madagascar birthday song. It goes like this.. ♫Happy Birthday to you, ![]() He started spitting out saliva on the first blow and I whispered to my mom that I wanted to have the other side of the cake. Heh.. Not that I remembered which side he blew on now. ![]() It was more of "Blow harder la. You so ah siu jie one" Hahaha.. He had to blow three to four times to extinguish to candles. ![]() And yes - he finally cut the cake. I had to position his hand there because he wanted to cut in the midst of all the candles and the carbon stuck at the tip. I certainly do not want carbon inside my stomach, do I? Haha..that's about it I guess. There would be a bigger party on Saturday with my other family members and then I would have more pictures. I would try my best to update my blog with pictures if I have the time. I was not really the type to update pictures along with long blog posts. That is why sometimes I prefer LJ because they do not really accept much pictures other than icons and mood bubbles. Okay, well to these people that think my New Moon craze had went down to 0%, I will say - no! It is just that Robert and Taylor thing that is making me crazy bout so listen up people like Allysha, Kriel, Ella and some other people that thinks that I am betraying Sir Robert Pattinson and going towards Lord Taylor Lautner. How much more intense and heat come out through this simple near kiss they had? I am talking about Jacob Black and Bella Swan and NOT Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart alright. I love for who Jacob is and I had always do. I love Robert Pattinson as a typical fan-girl as he is the hot one out there, alright. So if you want me to say it, it might be a mix of an equal. True, I have lose some...interest..for Robert Pattinson but still, he is still some hot, sex-symnbol out there which everybody knows - is trying to hide from all his fans. The hug. It has to feel warm. Anybody with that type of body and is being hugged by it, will definitely feel secure unless - of course - it is the body of some kind of murderer. LOL ![]() I didn't know what was this. I just found the picture. Read the two blue paper parts - it is the quote from the book. Hehh.. Click to enlarge it. ![]() And that picture of Robert Pattinson is yummy. - Edward 9/13. 13 September.. Bella's birthday! -yes! I remembered! ![]() I think this was her album that Renee gave Bella for her birthday. It looks like it. Angela and Mike and whatever else that is inside her album. ![]() This was just plain random. I found it in someone's photobucket account and I really wondered whether this picture really existed on the news. Gosh, it's raining and it's also time for me to start with my nanowrimo. Another half more to go in less than half a month left. I can do it. I have reviwers which is waiting for me for the upcoming chapter and I promised them I would write it on the 1st December 2009! It's a promise and I would fulfill it!

Blind Justice ♥ ♥ Blind JusticeSame soul that I've believed in and missed in my lonely life Holy war to save our soil Same fight we could do I hoped, for the genuine justice Dune, people in hunger where to go... Tore my heart, my friend, that's you wanted to? No can make my faith illusion Can you stay with me? Or just go away You see my tears, it's a doomed reunion... Honestly, I have no idea what had gotten into me. Just this video .. I've watched it several times, but never failed to get bored of it yet. Looks like my Suikoden fandom had utterly returned. I lost my trust for several things. Hmm...another two more days to go, huh? Labels: blind justice |
