Recap of 2013

So as I said in the last post, I'll blog about this if I'm in the mood and obviously I'm in now! However it will be a very brief recap of 2013 basically talked about my HAIR. Lollll. Since I didn't blog anything about my hair last year which I think because I was super lazy. Okay here is it. 

  

I went to curl my hair last year and straighten it back last year too! Haha. When my hair grew until shoulder length I was about to rebond it but my hairstylist said it will back to how it usually is in a short time, so he suggested me to curl it and so did I! After a few months then, the curl no longer looks pretty and my hair is totally out-of-shape. I couldn't stand any more so I went for rebonding. On the positive side, it looks smoother and longer! Hehe. Although it does not look super straight, it's still acceptable at least it looks natural. 


So which one do you actually prefer? The curly hair? Or the straighten hair?


I did not dye my hair because I think my hair was quite damaged and dryyyyy plus I couldn't think of any colour to dye.


[Random] Got a new spec too last year! Thanks to my papa. It's my second spec and my first spec was like 3 years old already. My friends even my mum actually laughed at me when they saw me wearing the new spec, they said I look weird but I think I look like minion what! Hahaha. 


Side view of my hair and it was taken during the last day of my exam. I had the longest exam ever because it started in 2013 but ended in 2014. Hahaha X) I think my stress level went 23479837442 in this exam mainly because I wasn't really well prepared. My soul was having vacation throughout the semester, not concentrating in the class, skipped class (guilty)...etc. In the end I have to wake up superb early like 5am on the day having exam and the first thing I'll need is coffee. You know having coffee with an empty stomach is really bad for you especially right after you woke up. I did this few days in a row and the aftermath is having light gastrosis. :/ 



[Random] Wanna be more feminine starting from this year onwards. Already 20 years old!! Feel damn old fml. 

I shall continue with my 'hair' post. So I finally decided to dye my hair last weeks to welcome the CNY. It was quite a tough decision to choose what colour to dye as I don't want to dye over and over again which will damage my hair since I got dry hair. :/ I wanted something dark because I was once told that straight hair looks better in dark colour. Haha. Of course plain black will be too boring so I chose purplish-black and the outcome was satisfying! I think it's really to important to know what kind of colour suits you, you can't simply follow the trend like 'Oh, now everyone is having red hair and I'm going for that too!' You have to look for or just ask your hairstylist which colours suitable for you since we have different skin tone such as warm or cool. 



Sad to say that the colour of my hair actually fades quickly. It's only the 3rd wash and I can see the roots turning red. 

Second thing also the last thing to recap. LOL. It's not anything exciting but it's that someone broke into my car for the first time!! So here's the story, it was Marathon Day and coincidentally I had to work in Queensbay.. The road access to the indoor and outdoor car park was fully blocked so I had to park my car far away from the mall. If you happen to know there's a small space right beside the roundabout at the end. I finished working at 6pm (luckily I was working on morning shift) and the time I approached my car, my remote couldn't function and so I thought maybe I'd just use the car key to unlock it. GUESS WHAT?? I saw my window was broken!! The engine couldn't start, shattered glass was all over the driver's seat and I was alone...and yea..I just...you know it. Haha. The next second I saw this I called my mum and in the end, all of my sis, mum and my aunties were there. Feel so blessed that everyone came to help me or maybe, spiritual support. Until around 9pm all the problems finally settled and I sit on my bag and drove home. Hahaha. You may want to see pics at below. 




I thought that maybe I parked at the wrong location and so the people there did this as a sign to warn me (it was a car park in the morning though) because I THOUGHT that I didn't lose anything valuable nor I put anything valuable that is visible. Few days later when I was about to hit the gym I only realised that my sport shoes had disappeared!! Then I came across that I actually put my kicks in the car at behind. I WAS SO CARELESS wtf I'd totally forgotten about that!! It's definitely a good reason to break my window since the sport shoes is so bright and it's a Nike! I only used it for few months and it's time to say RIP. An expensive incident to teach me a lesson. Now I'm so afraid to put anything in my car when I park it. Damn scary. 

That's it. Some more in neon makes it so attractive. 


I was actually to continue my new year's resolutions but it would be too longgggg and wordy. Hahaha. So I think I'd just split them into 2 post. See you!

Exploring Georgetown Penang; Breakfast @ Kaffa Espresso Bar | Green Hall

 Hi guys! Today I want to blog about my one day trip with my lovely friends, Cindy and Iryn on the next day after the exam. First start off with my fav pic of the day! Pic taken at upstairs of Kaffa Espresso Bar and the lightning happened to be so nice.


I have been so eager to have breakfast at Kaffa Espresso Bar since everyone is posting about it! So we decided to have our breakfast there since it's also near the historic area. Ordered salted caramel macchiato because I read the tips from Foursquare most of them gave good comment about this! I think it's pretty common for teenagers now to view the tips on Foursquare when you visit a new place and have no idea what to order. 


Egg Benedict! Salmon salmon salmon!!


 Act like a tourist! Haha.

I explored the area once last year but it was longgggg time ago and there's a lot of new coffee shops and wall art now so should have visit again! 




The one with the cap is Iryn and the bottom is Cindy. I guess you already know them since they always appear in my blog post. Haha. Wanna give a big hug to both of you to thank you for accompanying me through the ups and downs in my life. (:

Did I mention there's a fruit stall selling really cheap fruits and fruit juice?!! I bet you can't find any cheaper price like this in Penang any more! I'd orange juice which is only RM1.

 Located at Lebuh Ah Quee.




After a longgggggg and hot day, you know you'll need something, something that can melt instantly in your mouth. Yea! It's the ais kacang. We had cendol and ais kacang that's located at Penang road.

 

 We also went to Sugar Honey and Chowrasta market. Bought a second hand of Twilight first series novel at only RM12! Yea you can imagine how old is that book. Haha but who cares! As long as it still can be read.

Walked on foot the whole afternoon and we just had to pick the warmest time to walk under the hot sun. Hah! Anyway, I think this 'trip' is really fun although I ate a lot of local foods which is considered super unhealthy for me. Hahaha. And that was how we started our last second sem break! See you soon babes.



Dim sum at Bali Hai on the next day before they heading back to their home town. It was a brisk weather.

Dinner @ Ah Mo | Irrawaddi Road

So yeah!! I'm back again! I know that my blog has been dead for such a longggggggg period but I still hope that my readers are still supportive! 

The reasons why I've been neglecting my blog is because I was too busy with my college, jobs, assignment etc. I really don't have free time to blog but I hope I do in the future! Now I'm having sem break which just started on the pass Wednesday. I was so stressed and feeling tense about this exam maybe because I wan't really into study mode in this sem. I still have one short sem left and then graduate! 

Back to topic, today I want to talk about my dinner with my babes as a simple celebration after the bloody exam. This is the first post in 2014 and I know I'd have blog something about 2013 recap or new year resolutions bla bla bla. I will do that in the following post (if I feel like blogging about it).  

OOTN. Don't feel like wearing anything too fancy because I was so freaking tired. Anyway, that's my new bag I got it in Genting on last trip and flats from Jelly Bunny. 

Cindy, Iryn, yours truly. 

#typicalasian 

 Their mushroom soup impressed me!

Herbs crusted fish for me. Nothing special for me but my friends like it much though. 

*****
I had a new haircut yesterday by Kyozij from Aviation! Love how he put 100% effort on every customers' hair which also means took a longer time to done the job. It took 2 hours to done my haircut, wash and blow. LOL. 


More wavy and layered! Love it.


I will start my online business real soon. So stay tuned. Xoxo.
