Who'sLaughingNow?

Mummy they call me names 

They wouldn't let me play

I'd run home, sit and cry almost everyday 

'Hey Jessica, you look like an alien 

With green skin you don't fit in this playpen' 

Well they pull my hair 

They took away my chair 

I keep it in and pretend that I didn't care 

'Hey Jessica, you're so funny 

You've got teeth just like Bugs bunny' 

Oh, so you think you know me now 

Have you forgotten how 

You would make me feel 

When you drag my spirit down 

But thank you for the pain 

It made me raise my game 

And I'm still rising, I'm still rising 

Yeah 

So make your jokes 

Go for broke 

Blow your smoke 

You're not alone 

But who's laughing now 

But who's laughing now 

So raise the bar 

Hit me hard 

Play your cards 

Be a star 

But who's laughing now 

But who's laughing now

-Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now.

^Just because I've been in a very teen-angst mood lately. 


Hmm.. Everything seems so blown out of proportion when your in a state of ..mmm.. how do I say this without sounding "emo" . Uhm. When your in a state of holding on to the very last inch of your existence.


Yeah. That didn't sound melancholy at all.


Ahhh crap. lol. That sounded a bit over-exagerated but whatever.


It's like you don't know what you're meant for anymore. You don't know how to live your life, why you're living the life the way you are now and why it seems like forever to get back to normality. I felt like I somehow lost my way. 


Well I think I've found inspiration/motivation. It may only be a small bit of guidance, but I think I'm starting to see life in a new perspective lol. 


I need to stop worrying, Need to stop caring.I know it sounds a bit dramatic, but when your the type of person who worries over the tinniest things which eat you up inside you come to a point where you just really don't give anymore. Like there are better things to do with your life than to just dwell on useless things that won't even matter a day later or week. Why should I care? Worrying only wastes your time over insignificant things when you could be happier moving on, to forgive and to forget. 
I think with this in mind, the world would be a happier place. 
Or at least my world would be.


Screw all those people who tell me different lol. Tell me I'm not good enough, I'm not pretty enough, I'm not nice enough, I'm not smart enough, I'm not perfect enough. 
Because you know what? No one is perfect, so why the fuck should I be?
I'm me. I'm still learning to be me. I'm still learning. But isn't everyone? 
I'm so tired of everyones crap. Whether you mean it or not, who are you to tell me how to live my own life. Yeah okay, I'm a bit stubborn. But seriously, I can stand it, up to a point. But after that point, everything just rains on me like a freaking rain storm. 
Add the occasional hail whiplashes and lightening burn storms and you got the perfect mix to make me feel like shittiest person in the world. 


I don't know why I feel so strongly about this. I think everyone feels societies pressure to fit in at one point in time of your life. To feel like your being forced to be moulded into everyone's expectations of you. And when you're not what everyone wants you to be, you stick out just like a nail that everyone wants to hammer in. Is that how Andrea felt? Whatever her reason was, I feel like someone needs to give a voice to those that are still feeling vulnerable and insecure. A voice to those that aren't in a state at the moment to voice out their opinions. Someone needs to help those that are feeling this way because a person can only take so much shit in their lives, then before its too late, their gone. If there's no-one, then you can only rely on yourself really. If you can't say anything, who else will. 


Well whatever. I'm so sick of all this now. Numb almost at the feeling its put me through. You could say I use to be a passive person. A person who got pushed around, but didn't do much because it was always taken lightly and as a joke. But seriously, if you don't realise what you're doing to a person without taking the time to know how it effects them, then I think we shall have a toast for the douche bags and for the assholes out there that don't get it. 


So tell me, 
Who's laughing now?

Thoughts.

I guess I haven't looked after this blog as much as I hoped I would. 
A lot has happened since I last blogged. Wait. I can't remember when I last did... all I remember was I had just found out I was going to Europe... Oh wow, oops..


Since it's Uni break at the moment me and mum have been doing our homework and planning our trip for next year. So I guess its going to be:


London --> Paris --> Milan --> Venice --> Rome --> London.


Ahhhhhhhhhh, I can't wait. 


Anywho, guess times have changed since the 17 year old me. I'm sure it's changed for everyone else as well. Times are harder but I guess its a whole different story now. Whole different game play. Everyone seems so onto it thought. Keeping up with change and adapting so well. Sometimes I feel like everyone around me is moving so fast I just can't catch up. I guess its cause I'm still in the process of discovering myself. I'm so confused as to who I am right now it's not funny. Yeah you probably think, don't be silly Shannen! Your Shannen, who else can you be? But honestly, I'm still a working progress haha, still piecing my life together. I guess that's what lifes about, discovering yourself in the midst of everything else. 


Mmmmm...


So...


I got B+ for chem? 
Yeah okay. This is going nowhere haha. Don't have any of my creative juices flowing ! Recently anyways. Maybe that's why I feel so unmotivated to do anything haha....
Well, one things for sure. I'm going to aim high for my upcoming tests. A+ it all the way!.. 
Or. I'll settle for A- or B+ ..lol... I'll be happy either way. Ah okay. this blog is going nowhere. I just came on here to put something here just so that it doesn't feel as empty as it was before. 


Happy holidays 

Freedom.

So I just finished my exam (: ... I am so hyped. 


What am I currently listening to? 
Dear Professor - The Dean's List


Such an awesome song. However, a lot of their songs I do not recommend because the lyrics are just ugh.. I'm not a big fan of their lyrics and messages, but I love the melody to this song. (:


So what else is new? 
I am currently trying to save up for a Sony NEX-5 to compliment my Europe trip next year! :D...

   

I love how its half way between a standard digital camera, and a DSLR. Its compact, yet it has the capabilities of a DSLR which is awesome. I hate the bulk. I hate carry such unnecessary things that take up too much space in my bag or something. Its just unhandy. So I think this camera is perfect for me (: ... I'm wanting to buy the 1 which comes with 2 lenses. The pancake lense and the 18-55mm lense.    


My dad is willing to pay for half... since yeah, it is kind of pricey but hey, It'll be worth it when I go to Europe/London. Definitely compliment my trip well (: .. Will be taking SO many photos of buildings and historic venues. Can't wait! 


And I want to change my room around. I want to paint a feature wall as well. I've always wanted a Royal blue colour. Well considering its my favourite colour, I would want to paint it that colour. But I don't know if it would darken my room too much. I mean, my room is already limited on light since it has only 2 small windows.. sometimes I feel like I'm in prison considering there are actual bars on my window (mainly to prevent burglers from entering my room) but still. It's really dark, even in the afternoon, plus my carpet is blue coloured.. plus my bed has blue/white coloured duvet cover and pillow case, So.. I don't  know if it's going to be too dark... 
I really wish my room was brighter. Plus. I want wooden floorboards. 
I know I have wood underneath my carpet. But I want wooden floorboards that are painted white. Oh man. It looks so nice. Then I can actually buy really nice rugs to match the theme of my room and it would make sense to have so much wood everywhere. Wooden cabinet, wooden desk, wooden dressing table. Just that, it would be extremely cold during the winter.... :/ 


I've always loved looking at bedroom designs. One day, when I have children, I think, I'mma go full out. I'm going to ship them from IKEA (because I just LOVE LOVE LOVE IKEA!!!!!!) and going to go hard out in decorating my boy/girls room. (preferably a girl, because I can design it the way I would want it when I was little hehehehehe... ) Well of course, incorporate what she would want also... I guess.... hahaha.  

But yeah.  It's just so classy and clean looking. Simple and clean. 
Oh man. I so want white floor boards. 


Anywho. I doubt I will be able to strip my carpet and paint the floorboards white. Don't think my mum would approve >: [ .... 

Magic.

So.. it appeared all my photos had disappeared.. totally thought there was something wrong with my computer :/.. but I found the source.
Aparently my blogger is hooked onto my picasa web albums and if I delete photos off that.. it deletes everything on here.. HOW DO YOU STOP THAT?!...

Grr..

In other news.
Just want to post a couple of photos on here (: .. This was pretty fun.
We hung out with Will for a few hours. Watched a movie.. which I picked.. and it was TOTALLY SHIT.
Hoodwinks I think it was. The 2nd one. omg. The first 1 was good, but the 2nd one is SO BORING. I paid $17 or something for the 3D version of it, and i fell asleep in it. It was totally horrible, never wasted so much money on a useless movie ever.

Anywho, Will drove us to Mt. Eden and decided to crash there for a while (: .. It was nice ! Hehe.

Someone was taking wedding photos! But in all honesty.. Mt Eden is the worse place to take it. It was really windy up there, and unfortunately for the bride, her vale kept flying and swinging in all different directions. That was entertaining lol.

It twas fun (:

PackYoBags...

...because I'm going to FUCKING EUROPE. 

Yeah okay, this isn't really fresh off the block news, but I really haven't updated my blog so long plus I'm still hyped up about it! 

 Man... Europe..

Okay well, buzz kill alert. I have to wait till next year hahaha. Still. Thats like, less than 9 months away! Going during Feb woohoo! :D...
It sucks how we're only going for a short period of time though.. and my mum wants to go EVERYWHERE. So it's like we're going to pack our itinerary into like 3 days per country/city/town/w.e.   :\ .. thats like IMPOSSIBLE. I don't know how we'll manage to do that. Theres just so many places to visit.

Including : THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE. oh man. I want to poke fun at the guards. Heh. Always been a dream of mine (; ... 

Plus so many others. London Bridge, Eiffel Tower, The Colosseum, The Sistine Chapel!! 
Oh boy. 

This DEFINITELY deserves a DSLR camera to go with this trip. You just can't go to countries like that without a 12MP+ DSLR camera. You just can't. Plus, my camera died. Zzzz.. Well kind of died. Lets just say it needs glasses... 
Dad's still thinking about it though. We might just settle for a Sony cyber shot if things become too pricey. 

Oh well. I'm SOOO KEEEN.

a LittleGirlsDreams.

Have you ever felt the rush of adrenaline as you get pumped to go explore the world around you. That you get to bring your handy dandy little camera and take as many photos because you know someday you would want to relive the exact moment you had, journeying through the valley of some exotic rainforest, or the backstreets of a large city.  

I've traveled basically half the world with my family. I am eternally blessed for that, and I know it is hard for a family to travel every year, but my family seems to always keep to it, and keep to it we do. I seem to have inherited my mums interest in traveling and I'm glad I did. Because travel is not all for the luxury or pleasure. It opens ones eyes to more than what they can see within their home boundaries. I've been to cambodia and to the poorest side in China. Little villages in Japan to where using a toilet is a horribly set concrete dip where you can honestly see everything. and I mean EVERYTHING. The toilet door is only like a metre high and honestly? It was SO hard to go toilet without feeling utterly self conscious because the guys toilets were right next door. And the barrier was also 1 meter high as well...

I should have taken a photo, but the smell was such a put off because they never clean it. All this shit and what not go down the concrete slab into a grassy patch. And there it lays decomposing...

Gross I know.

I can't say I was grateful at that moment. Because I did complain. I complained a heck of a lot and kept asking my parents why on earth would we travel half way across the world to a place like this? It definitely was a culture shock but you eventually learn to understand their living habitats. I know now that going to those types of places certainly make you more aware of what you have now, and what things become a luxury to them compared to luxuries back home. 

I can definitely say having experiences like that truly make me the person I am today.

I already know what my future is going to behold. I just need to make enough money and have a job that can do that for me. A job that enables me to travel travel travel :D

My favourite places I'm dreaming of going?

The list will certainly grow as I get older but meh, more things for me to do. 

First stop? 

New york (:

Oh man, city lights, shopping, yellow cabs, high rised buildings, those brick buildings you see like in Stewart Little! I just love those. ( I really don't know the name of it.. I'm sorry..)

Everything just seems so much more BIGGER in New York. Plus I do have a few friends there, so it would be such an awesome experience to go experience New York culture.  Man. :( and eat a true American hotdog. Haha, and their donuts. Aparently they're amazing!... I want to watch Broadway shows, and emerge myself in the crowds at timesquare and absorb all the unhealthy lights at night time. Haha. Anyone keen on joining me once we graduate from university? (; ... I'm keen on group adventures! Haha.

Okay well I'm not going to keep naming all the places i want to go, because that could seriously take up TONS of pages.. but eh..:\ New York is definitely my first stop!

Back to reality, I've been feeling rather shitty lately. I don't know why, I just do. I miss Roskill, I miss how everything use to be. How you knew everyone that walks pass you. You knew the teachers and you could ask them about anything and joke around. I still don't see how university is the place where you have the best time of your life. Even though there was alot more drama in highschool, I think at this very moment, I would trade it for that any day. I just don't want to grow up :( .. (I know.. I sound like damn Peter Pan) But its true. :( 

Everything seemed so easy and straightforward back then. Its like, all you had to focus on, was getting good grades and thats it. Everything else was laid right in front of you. Maybe it's because I've been semi-spoon fed for some of my life haha. I mean, timetables were done for you, classes were arranged, assignments were told and reminded to you and you would KNOW when you had an assignment due because the teacher told you. 

I guess people have to grow up sometime or rather. I can't be thinking that now though! I'm turning freaking 18 in like 4 days. But I just still see myself as that vulnerable little year 9 asian chick who wouldn't shut her trap and would get kicked out of classes for talking too much. 

Oh how times changed.

BabyLetMeBurnTheNightAway.

Okay so where were we,
Oh I don't know, its been too long since I've updated this damn thing. Darn, I didnt stick to my New Years resolution. 

Strike 1

So I'll pick up from where I left off? 

Went to uni, yada yada yada, new atmosphere yada yada yada, no social life yada yada yada. 

Yeah, I thought it would have been more interesting than that, however my routine EVERY single day is

Wake up at 6am

Uni at 7

Lectures

Go Home

Watch a little bit of TV

Study

Facebook/tumblr 

Sleep

and rinse and repeat.

I could turn that into a song. Titled Story Of My Life... so far anyways.
Trying to keep up with the work at uni is like trying to keep up with my bunny when he escapes. The moment you think your getting closer, he takes off, and so your left trying to catch up once again when you barely caught up the first time. Its quite annoying really, plus exams in like what.. 3/4 days? and I haven't even studied half of my subject yet.. oh and did I mention I have a 1200 worded essay about racism .. after reading a 55paged essay and 8 paged reading.. I have to compare and contrast the 2 main themes... Plus I have an abstract thats 300 words long.. Yeah. I'm having the time of my life. 
So you see, my life so far isn't as bitter sweet as most tell uni as being, yes I've made a few new friends, yes I'm turning 18 soon so I WILL be spending that partying all night, but besides that, nothing to really overly exaggerate my happiness about. 

This truly sounds like an extremely depressing blog, but it really isnt.  

I mean, keeping up is hard, but the final outcome will be amazing  (: ... So  chase it like that pot of gold, stick to it like mud and savour it like the pie I had this morning. 
 Because someday, it'll ALL be worth it.

SunBeachTan.

So today It was Angela's birthday day out. 

How can I describe this in one word....

AMAZING. 

:) .. I totally loved it. Thank god it was sunny today!! .. All of us got a great tan out of it as well. 

(super hard for an asian to get tanned... its quite annoying really...)

 

 We travelled by ferry to Motuihe Island. 

It was quite a nice and peaceful reserve with a strip of land that had beachs on BOTH sides...

 

I don't take geography but if I did, I would probably be more specific and name that particular piece of land...

(I called it an isthmus just because Auckland is a isthmus too... and its covered by sea on both sides.. and is a small strip of land joining 2 parts together... ) 

From my knowledge anyways... 

(dont trust my accuracy sorry, It's hardly ever correct .. hah... nor should you diss me, because hey, I call it what it is, and what I think it is ;) )

Anywho.. we took amazing photos. 

Setting up for our sun tanning...

There was absolutely NO ONE on the beach.. we were totally secluded. 

Oh. Of course, except for the 2 boats that were out a sea. But meh, non of us cared. 

We just wanted our tan.

This was pretty fun. However it took us a while to even get on the damn thing...

 And.. this is what you get for not putting as much sun lotion as you're suppose too... 

Well, she burnt really easily... so it would have been recommended to put some every hour.

We decided to travel to one island every holiday. This trip was only $25! ... how amazing is that? .. 

&&

Oh yeah. We had fun. 

YourAnAlien.

Fav song at the moment? 
E.T. by Katy Perry. or should I say Katy Branson?
Did she officially change her showname ? ... I'm not too sure.. haven't been up to date with the tabloids in ages. Thats what I heard a while back anyways.

Update?
I'm back in New Zealand.

THANK GOD.
 :) ... I'm a happy chirp now. 

However its super hot at the moment, I never realised how hot Auckland can get during the summer but nevertheless its quite cooling compared to Malaysia. 

So what else has happend? 
Sorted out my university things. However, I have 2 clashes and I can't do anything about it...
I have to watch the online lectures to catch up.. how mega retardedly lame is that. 
Oh well....
It's my fault for enrolling late...

I suppose. 

Karma bites back like a bitch. -tear- However I DO have 2 new year resolutions that I DEFINITELY want to follow through this year. (I say this every year... ) 

• no PROCRASTINATING.
  (uni's no time to procrastinate. . .)
• I HAVE to become more time efficient and manage my time wisely so I don't ALWAYS go late to things..

and thats basically it. 
I can talk a whole bunch of stuff like 'becoming a better person' , have good penmanship in all my notes bla bla bla. But those are the same every year. 
(I'm the type of person who wants to keep a tidy and pretty looking book with nice hand writing and different colours to suit its purpose. But by half way through the year I'm totally like 'screw this' ) Heh... 


I get lazy.


OH WELL.
I'm Shannen. It's like a trait of mine. However I do wish I wasn't. I wish I was the extremely outgoing type who enjoys going out and meeting all her friends every single day, but I don't have the willpower to do those kinda things.. every..single..day. 
I prefer a day in, kick back in my sweat pants and tee and chilling with a cup of green tea watching something which amuses me. (which is basically anything BUT british comedy)

Oh and I bought new nailpolish from Malaysia. I'm really liking candy colours. 
I should go buy fluoro green and hot pink. 

Totally awesome. It'll probably look even more better.


Hmmm...

BeingSickIsSoOverratedNow.

So I've been in Penang lately :) ..

Did a little shopping here and there however theres not much sight seeing to be done here. I guess it's because I've been to all the places before, and I'm only here for my grandparents to celebrate CNY all together as one big fam bam !

I should post photos soon-ish but my cameras out of batt :( ...

So. An update?

Unfortunately, my update will probably consist mostly of how I've been feeling sick this entire trip.

Quite sad... however, I did enjoy shopping

Best Buys : 

This is officially my baby. I don't go anywhere without this now. I'm in love with it! ..

99RM  = $45 NZD or so.. don't quite know. 

CHEAP RIGHT?!... 

I bought my skull candy earphones with $40 . 

and IT BROKE.

I'm definately taking care of this one.

So I bought this at Stefeno. After searching around Sunway Carnival Mall I finally found one that was big enough and was not too tacky or plain. I don't know what to use this for. I guess I'll just use this everytime I go out. Might be a bit too much for uni? Unless I'm meeting up with friends after then heck yeah.

Price? 

86RM = uhh... $40 NZD or so? I don't do conversions too well as you may know...

Might be a bit too much for a bag considering I'm in Malaysia and I could probably find a decent bag for about 30RM or so, but I was going for quality.. and I don't want it to break :) ..

I can honestly say I'm satisfied! 

Please turn you head to the right as I can't freaking make this photo turn up right!!

Darn thing.

Anywho...

I was wondering, what do you call your mothers brothers wife in english? I've been constantly trying to make up words for it but Aunty was the best I could come up with.

No Suprises There...

But yeah. Seriously.. :\ .. Well. My Mums brother is coming over from Taiwan today at 7pm ^^...

and his son is THE MOST adorable thing IN THE WORLD. Honestly.

He can shoot baby model mags. Hes got the BIGGEST eyes and his skin is pure white. and cheeks are rosy red. Hes too cute. I'll snap a photo or two.. however.. he doesnt like me.Because of whatever reason he just has something against me. Or maybe it's because I scare little kids with my freakiness...

or maybe my chinese is like ...Chinglish. Ha Ha.

hey hey.. I've been improving.. somewhat. My accent has become quite Malaysian like right about now and I can speak a few sentences in Hokkien. So TAKE THAT mother fuckkkerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh yeah.

GG

Anywho. Tomorrows CNY I shall definately post photos of our family group photos and what not.

Till next time

I'm out!

PackedIntoOne.

We went to KLCC and visited the Petronas Towers as we do everytime we come here. Exactly like tourists I know. 
But we always need a reminder just why we are so proud to be Malaysians [;...

Our trip into the CBD.

 Picture Perfect Moments..

I made a vid, but unfortunately it took FOREVER to upload. SO. I gave up after a while.
Yes. I made a vid because I was in a cbf mood to bother typing about it.
I'm lazy and quite lame, and unfortunately my 1 year of Media studies did not contribute to how I made this video.. because all I did was 

1. Select videos
2. Cut to my liking
3. Select my chosen videos
4. Clicked "Movie" In Picasa. 
5. And Added audio track. 
6. Waa lah !~

You think Ms Bogle will give me an E for it? 
Whole years lesson compacted down to size. Take that Miss B.

Yes, my lack of efforts to do ANYTHING lately has been reflected through my poor efforts in creating this video. 
I seriously am so lazy to do anything now. Maybe it's my recovery from my fever, but I seriously can't be stuffed even to get out of bed in the mornings. I just sit there pondering what the ef am I going to do on my laptop today, and just browse through my Ipod. 
BUT. 
We did end up going out at nights, so that was okay I guess. 

 Can you see the CNY in the air? Heh...

Today we went to Mid Valley. 
Which is probably catered to fairly rich people. 
In all honesty... Even though I do love me some bargains in those fairly over crowded malls where absolutely EVERYTHING is on sale.. I do have to say, I prefer malls like in KLCC, and Mid Valley than other places like Sungaiwang and around Time Square.
I just like the whole atmosphere.

1. Aircon
2. Its too fucking expensive and overpriced for what a typical Malaysian would  purchase things from, which means less people.
3. They have western stores.
4. Madam Kwan. 

You don't see Madam Kwan on the road sides at Hawker stores. 

nor do you see her being the CEO of big cooperation. But Hey.

I also made Butter Cake with my cousin for my brothers birthday tomorrow. 
As much as I can't stand cakes, I don't mind baking them. 

so long as I don't have to eat it [:  

We melted this cocoa block to make chocolate :) 

 

 And then we poured them into shapers

 Then let it cool and popped them out :P 

Yes it ws quite tasty for sho xP

Then we covered the Butter cake in whipped creamy 

goodness :3

And did a lil DIY Deco . Finishing product ! 

For a chick who doesn't cook or bake often, this was a pretty good effort (Y).

So anyway I went to Pavilion as well. A place also for all the foreigners and rich Malaysians to hang. However. I'd LOVE to hang here anyday. It was so glamorous I loved it.

You should have seen the line of cars parked infront of the mall...

Also. We love Malaysia for this particular cafe..

We enjoyed this thoroughly [: ....

 Best range ever. 

Anywho. I'm off to Singapore tomorrow morning at 8:45am. I hope it shall be an eventful few days. Won't be bringing my laptop along so will catch up after I get back and before I head to Penang on Tuesday.

I feel so rushed but hey, least I get to go Singapore which I haven't been in quite a long time. 

Sentosa Island here I come! 

JustAnotherPhase.

So another day in paradise. 
As if I need anymore reminders. Days have gone quite slow. I feel like I've spent a week here when it's only been 3 or 4 days. 

Is it suppose to feel like this?

Or maybe it's because I've been sick these couple of days...

I wish I had photos to show you how 'fantastical' my holidays been going. But so far not so much :(....
Besides the awesome shopping malls filled with tweens.
Its honestly like New Market. But an asian version. 
(I'm not even talking about midcity...)
I'm talking rich tweens... dressed up like they have a purpose in life to become those chicks you see on the cover of magazines. 
My cousins part of "the crowd" 
But she has cute friends [:

(Cousin Jay on the left. Middle her friend. Right yours truly)
I stand out so much. But what 'evs. I can be asian. I'm freaking asian for gods sake. 
I should get back my old hair. The one with the exact same fringe as my cousin. 

Maybe it's just because I'm more white for my own good. 
White washed over and over and mixed with other many different colours. 

All it is is just tweens trying to grow up faster than they should. 
Maybe it's because I'm nearly 18 that I don't feel the urge to want to grow up.
Oh well :(...

Considering she's my cousin, shes pretty cool at times. So you gotta love that. 

My 14 year old cous. x


In other FLASHING NEWS.


Shannen Dyed her hair.
Gasp. Shock. Horror.


No no. I did not dye it a totally bright spectacular colour again. 
Keep yo pants on.


I dyed it dark brown. I feel more... well I wanted a change.
I don't like feeling 'normal' or feeling like I've been like this for ages. I hate being boring. Which is why I always changed my hair colour or hair style. 
But what ev's. This hair colour shall last me. 
I'm content. 


[:

Haters gon hate. But that is my hair colour now. 
My hair feels so fucking rough though. I don't know what they put in that malaysian hair dye.
The lady said it was aparently sulphur free. 
Whatever that means.

It doesn't smell as bad I suppose? 


Oh well...


Guess I can go visit my grandparents in a few weeks all free and happy now. Don't need to get lectures on  my hair colour of choice. 

It's 'decent' enough for Chinese New Year [:...
Which by the way, is so very soon! 
<excitedasfuck>

My appetite hasn't come back yet. But I hope it does when Chinese New Year Comes.

I'm going to Singapore next week ! To celebrate my dearest brother's 14th birthday. 

I think he's 14....... oh snap!
:S !

How bad of a sister am I .... :\ .. 

Well. Lets hope it's fun!  
Let's hope it's something to blog about.
However, I haven't been to Singapore in like 11 years. SO of course it will be fun. 


Lets have a toast for the good times to come.


Maybe.

Shit. Did I say typhoon? 

I meant Monsoon.......

HONEST MISTAKE. 

Which reminds me of the Tokio Hotel Song.. 

"Running through the monsoon..beyond the world.. till the end of time..where the rain won't hurt..fighting the storm..into the blue..and when I loose myself I think of you.

Together we'll be running somewhere new.. Through the monsoon.. just me and you..."

Lovely.

I have to say, it's quite chilled in Malaysia right now. It's Typhoon season which means it rains every single night, but I'm kind of thankful it does. I didnt get the sudden heat rush when I stepped outside of KLIA. It was slightly windy with probably 20% humidity. (Might lack accuracy but hey, I was relying on my toes to feel the weather. )

As you do.

Best time of year I would say. 

So how was my day you persistently ask..?
As if you would be remotely interested in how my day went. But I guess this is my blog. 
And I'm talking to myself, or atleast a figment of my imagination... (maybe I should give you a name. like. Blob. Or Hailes. I like that name. Don't you?) 


Well of course you do. Because that has officially been assigned to as your name. [:

God i'm such a weirdo.....

So. I had to wake up at the most earliest hour yet. 
8am.
It was tough. It was daunting. 

But I did it. (-YUS!-)


My To Do List.

• Hand in Study link and try and find my record of results for NCEA Lvl 3.
• Go to clocktower to ask about my Uni application and why hadn't they received my damn documents.....
• Go buy my brother some last minute stuff.
• Go fetch forms from ASB for mum.

Be back before 11am. 

Oh yeahh. That was an accomplishment. I felt like Xena the Warrior princess after I was done with that shit.
Less glorious of course.
Nevertheless, my day was filled with me running around like a crazy person trying to get things done.  
It didn't feel like I was about to go on holiday at all in all honesty...
I use to get that feeling you get the night before you go on holiday.. that knot in your stomach because your so damn excited to be flying out to some place more foreign than your own. 
Flying was my favourite part of my holidays (as odd as that sounds.... )
It still is, I'm just not that excited about coming here anymores..


Nevertheless..
the flight to Melbourne was... entertaining [:

 My view from my seat. 
I hate getting seats next to the wing. It pisses me off because I can't see jack most of the times. 
Its hella annnoying.
Add THAT to 'Shannen's List of Pet Peeves'
<heh>

Oh. And i would also like to share with you this.
I may sound REALLY old fashioned or.. like I've been living under a rock for the past century...
but. As I was flying economic class...
DID YOU KNOW THEY HAVE SOCKETS AND USB PORTS AND SHIT?!
I was utterly amazed at that. 
That made my day. 
You don't see that on MAS. 
Or.. maybe you do. And I just haven't stepped out of my rock in decades. 

I thought these only exist in First/business class :( ...


Anywho.
The trip to Melbourne was quite fun. I slept most of the time onboard. BUT I did watch Letters To Juliet. 
That was a good movie I guess. 
Amanda Seyfried is such an extraordinary actress. She does so well in these kinds of films. I never really got her character in Mean Girls.. But Mamma Mia was truly amazing. So was Dear John.


So the food onboard Emirates...
I would rate that 6/10. Not so much for my liking...
It lacked... flavour.
However, this is airplane food we're talking about. But heck. MAS and Singapore Air has amazing food. 
Maybe I'm too bias.

When I reached Melbourne I realise how amazing Australia looked at night compared to New Zealand. Maybe because of the big population difference but it seriously looked so beautiful with the surrounding lights around the airport.
Maybe I should consider living there instead of Canada. However it might be too hot and humid for my liking. I like it Cold. ..Yup.

Ignore my cameras incapability to focus correctly. I swear to you it looked amazing. 
:( 
Why couldn't we have gone on holiday to Aussie. After spending 6 hours lazing around Melbourne Airport, i went to go walk around the shops at like 12am at night and started talking with this guy who was a shop assistant. 
MAN his accent was amazing. Aussie is starting to grow on me. 
Anywho. Australia is quite expensive. While I was surfing the stores, I came across a cafe. 
Like no kidding. They had pies for $8. Which is probably like $10-$12 NZD ? 
Are you serious? 
Internet was $2 per 15 minutes. 
Fuck.
Their standard of living must be amazingly high. However their salary makes up for it no?
Anywho. The 6 hours went by fast. Did a little light reading. Watched My Sisters Keeper on my laptop which I would recommend EVERYONE to watch. Shopped around with the Aussie money I had.. slept a little. 
Alls well ends well. 


Not too excited. But I guess if you go on a trip with high expectations, you're not going to really get the most out of your trip. 
Hopefully the best is still in stall for me [: ...


p.s.

Did you know they built a mini Jungle inside the KUL arrival area ?
