what i said about how things decide to take a drastic turn just when you expect them to head the way you want them to.

i almost booked a flight back to KL. that was what happened. (edit: i actually booked  a flight home. That was what actually happened.)

it was like Jenga. you build it up just so it could fall apart.

you pull one out. i pull one out. you pull another one out. and i pull another one out. until it is full of holes all over.

so you pull one out safely and then feel relieved to leave the shit up to everyone else to screw it up, it goes one big round and comes back to you. now it is your turn to screw it all up. read more

What i realized so far, is that, as a human, we need a break from everything. Including a break from a break.

That is it. Holiyear has been a major success so far. Somehow everything just happened, i didn’t even plan them on purpose. They came one after another.

And then everything started falling apart. I felt like a major fail. I took too long a break. Now I need a break from my holiyear. read more

Supposed to only come back on 21st July but decided to changed my flight very last minute. That’s 2 weeks earlier than my scheduled return.

Don’t ask.

Anyway, had been flying budget airlines all the while and this was my first MAS flight in a very long time, and was completely overwhelmed. I forgot how luxurious it could be.

I was like OMG THEY ACTUALLY GIVE PILLOWS! OMG BLANKIES. OMG FREE FOOD. OMFG YOU CAN ACTUALLY ASK FOR WATER WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY WHAT TURF.

After flying low-cost airlines for such a long time, i realized how much effort normal airlines have put in to make their passengers feel great. Not to mention to compare with budget airlines. And i was very touched! And i felt very very bad about not finishing the food (it was nice, but i was just not that hungry). I mean, it was such a waste! And it was for sure not easy to prepare all these things. And the maintanence and stuff. I wonder if they actually make much profit at all. Flight wasn’t even half full when i flew to Kansai. read more

The transformations are done.

I must say i am really really impressed. 5 messiest rooms in Malaysia, now i can say that i don’t mind staying in any of them.

So, let’s have a look of the 5 entries!

2. Liew Li Ping

Whoa, this one i quite impressed. Her room looks really livable now. Very neat and i love the pure white concept.^^

3. Yvonne Mah

Her old 5-in-1 home office really appalled me. Yvonne is currently sharing her bedroom with her 4 kids (age 10, 6, 3 and 20 mths). 0.O. She would like to win the prize because the extra funds would help to replace her old, donated, worn out TV cabinet and sofa. read more

Hmmm. I kinda ran out of pictures on Japan. Here are many many big pictures for you from Edinburgh!

Edinburgh is a beautiful city! I loooooove!!! Very very Goth. And there are plenty of Goth shops and people dressing up Goth everywhere!

Just have to excuse my atrocious ensemble a bit throughout this entry though i normally don’t pair my outfits liddat but it was really too cold.

Some free tour thing. Basically it is a 3-hour walking tour where they bring you around, tell you stories (mostly gruesome stories about tortured prisoners and ghost, didn’t think so grimly about a city so beautiful as Edinburgh), and… erm, that’s it. read more

Or a puppy. Or a bunni. Whatever. I actually prefer bunni. It’s cuter. But somehow a bunni in Japan is very likely to give people a wrong impression. So i typed hamster.

Anyway, i dunno how it works in school nowadays, but if i’m allowed to write my essay with tons of pictures slot in between words, i for sure can score this “My Life as a Hamster in Japan” essay.

For once i feel like turning my blog into one of those– this morning i had yaki onigiri with umeboshi on top, and then i went online and chatted with Carolyn, she told me her cousin’s uncle want to introduce me to his godson. I wonder if the godson has got smelly feet. We loled. And then i listened to MEG’s Beautiful. I love that song. And then about 3pm i opened a pack of Jagabee potato chips, it is slightly salted one. It is nice and crispy. Now my left knee is a bit itchy. I think i got bitten by a mosquito. Ok i am going off to pachinko now, bye xoxo– blogs. read more

heh. You guys think my room is messy. Wait until you see these other 5 pack-rats.

The funny thing is, these messy people actually won RM2,ooo vouchers to shop at IKEA from the Go Clean Your Room contest i wrote about. So i’m now feeling very sesat dunno to feel happy or sad for being not messy enough.

I really salute some of these people. The amount of effort they put in shooting and editing the video and all, i wonder why they didn’t channel the energy into tidying up their room in the first place. (But then if they did, they wouldn’t have won RM2,ooo. Amazing isn’t it.) read more
