I've been questioning myself these questions "Is this what I want?", "Am I choosing the right path?"
The feeling grows stronger when I was having my examinations. Is it a normal symptoms ?
Do people doubt about their choices and decisions when they are facing problems and difficulties?
I know that one day, I will be able to smile at myself that all this works are actually nothing compared to now. Just like the current me who's smiling at the past me, thinking that SPM was actually nothing.
I really envious those people who know what their dreams are.
They are so sure about what they want and what they don't.
How can they even so sure?
People always ask me to pursue things that I want, or things that I enjoy doing.
But what do I really want?
I don't know.
Maybe I don't know myself well enough.
That's why I am always confused and having hard time to decide.
But if I don't know myself well, who will?
I feel like I am a lost bird, don't know where to fly to.
Finding my next destination without Waze.
Still finding a comfortable place to build a house and continue my life.
I am always in my comfort zone when I was in high school.
I though that I will eventually figure out what I want after I graduate.
When I was in kindergarten, I don't make decision, because my mom will.
When I was in primary school, I don't make decision either, because I know that I am going to the same high school with my sister.
When I was in high school, there is one small decision for me to do. Which is to study science stream or art stream. Guess what I choose? I choose sub-science, which is like half science and half art.
Because I don't know what to study so I simply choose and go in the class that the school allocated me.
Then what's next? College. Mom helped me to do the decision. "Kinda"
I wanted to study hospitality at first because I think that's interesting. But my mom convinced me to study business instead. So yea, here I am studying business.
I wanted to study at Sunway because I have more friends there but I ended up studying at Monash because mom said that the university is more popular and better.
I took my mom's advice. Because mom is always right :)
I didn't blame her for asking me to study business, because I am not persistence enough.
I followed what my mom told me to do. She didn't force me to choose business, instead she let me to choose, and I accepted her proposal. So, it's not her fault for wanting me to study business.
No one can really do the decision for me because it's my own life.
Mom doesn't because she doesn't want me to regret for choosing things that I don't like.
If I choose the path myself, I have no one to blame, besides myself.
When people complain about their work is hard, and saying that they're enjoying doing those work at the same time, I am confused.
I don't know what does it mean.
Why do people enjoy doing hard work?
That's the dream that they want, they will say. They said that they are willing to sacrifice for their dream.
And I think that it's beautiful to have a dream.
They don't give up easily even when they feel discouraged.
How can they do it?
I am jealous those who have dream.
I hope that I can feel the same way like them one day.
My sister loves steamboat a lot. This is because she can drink bowls and bowls of soup until she is satisfied. While my dad prefer barbecue, he loves korean barbecue and always wanted to eat korean food. My mom loves asian food, and she's always ordering rice for dinner.
Everyone is having different preferences, and it's quite hard to choose what to eat for dinner.
Recently, my sister found this newly opened restaurant and suggested us to go and have a try.
It is actually a Taiwanese Steamboat, which is my first time trying.
The interior of the restaurant is designed in a creative way and I can see that they have put a lot of effort on interacting with the customers. As you can see there are a lot hand written words and photos of the customers on the wall as decorations.
The people there are super friendly and even though I speak fluent mandarin, I sometimes get blur as they have their taiwanese accent, which I am quite confused. It makes me feel like I am having my dinner in Taiwan again <3 Always love the food and shopping in Taiwan :D
(It is okay if you don't know how to speak mandarin, because they know how to speak English :))
There are 8 soup bases for you to choose from Pork Bone, Tom Yum, Milk, Konbu, Shacha,
Herbal and Taiwan Spicy
One pot can be shared by 2 people because it might be too much for 1 person. If you are a big eater, you can order side dishes.
We have ordered 3 pots, one is Delicious pot Seafood with Konbu base (Rm23.80), one is Selected delicious pot Beef with Herbal base (Rm38.80) and one is Roasted pot Pork with Pork Bone base (Rm38.80)
This is their light pot, with Konbu base. I really love all three of their bases and regretting not trying their milk and spicy base xP
One light pot is come with noodle and drink. We tried both of their drinks: Lemon Winter Melon and Wumei smoothie and I must say that the Wumei smoothie has a very unique taste xD
The seafood light pot with Konbu base.
This is their heavy pot, which come with Assorted appetiser, handmade meat ball, noodle/rice and drink. My dad really enjoyed barbecuing the meat :)
The ingredients in heavy pot is almost the same as the light pot, but with more food :)
This is their appetiser, which I really like it <3
Their beef sliced.
Their lamb sliced.
We ordered some meat sliced and a bowl of Braised Pork rice, which is a MUST!
After since I left Taiwan, I have always craving for their oily pork rice ! So yummy but sinful xD
It is Rm25 for 2 meat sliced, Rm7 for 2 vegetables/ meat ball (you can refer to the menu above)
They also come with complimentary dessert if you order one Heavy Pot.
Since we ordered 2 heavy pot, so we got 2 pudding dessert :D One is mango flavour and the othe tone is honey lemon <3
I have never buy so many things in one month in my life. And now I did.
I feel like chopping my hands off, when I do online shopping. I always ask myself to control
but still I ended up buying so many stuff xP
In this month, I spent so much that I told myself not to buy anything things next month.
But I am already spending like water flow :P
Oh well, money that is spent can't really bring you anything but happiness if you bought the right thing. So, today I am going to share things that I have bought in the month <3
1. Biore Cleansing water
I always prefer makeup remover that is water base. And I am actually currently using the Bifesta makeup remover, that is perfectly fine removing my makeup. So why I change to this?
While I was doing "window shopping" in the mall, I saw the board written "Huge Sales", and you tell me, who can resist this kind of word ? So I went in Watson and got trapped inside >.<
Guess what? This is having sales and I remember my cousin sister said that this is quite good, so my itchy hand go and spend extra money on this, while I am actually planning to buy my contact lens solution only. Good marketing strategies huh?
2. Clinique Moisture Surge
I actually got this for FREE, as I joined the giveaway competition <3
Didn't know that I have this kind of luck. This is actually not bad, and it is light weight and it doesn't leave sticky residue on my face. I don't really enjoy using moistening cream, which will make my face sticky and oily. So I really enjoy using moisturiser that is in gel form :) Glad that I got this :)
3. Simple Facial Toner
This is also one of the bought in Watson. Coincidently my toner is going to finish, so I was thinking which brand to try next, and then I saw this. When I was in high school, I used to love Simple products, especially their facial wash. All their products are so gentle and nice.
So, I was thinking, why not use something simple ? Since I have so many "un-simple" skincare products xD But the older I get, my skin doesn't really enjoy using it. My skin need something more moisture and this Simple is TOO simple for me, that I feel like I am using mineral water on my face xD Oh no, I suddenly feel so old :O
4. Black skinny pants
Bought from ezbuy (aka Taobao). I just found out this website that helped people to purchase things from taobao. It's like a Taobao agent, and their service is fast and efficient and the people are super friendly! Oh yea, and it is also trustable :) At first I was a bit worry that I am going to buy things from this agent, because I used to buy from the Facebook taobao agent. But their service came out quite good and they're always having discount like free agent fees or free delivery fees :D So I really enjoy shopping with them :P
5. Black dress
This is from taobao too ! How can their things to be so cheap? Feel like living in China so I can buy as many clothes as I want without thinking so much xD It's actually an off shoulder dress, but it doesn't look like it is in the pictures xP
6. Unicorn Onesie
OMG bought this at around Rm25, where it cost Rm100+ in Lazada and other websites !
Really glad that I bought this, as the quality quite not bad.
Don't ever think that China quality is always bad :P
7. Grey sweatpants
Bought this sweatpants less than Rm10. Yea, I told you I can't resist cheap stuff xP I think I will wear it to sleep, even though there is actually quite a number of people wear sweatpants outsite. My sister said that I look like a pregnant lady cause of this pants xD I though I look quite cool here LOL
8. White wedges heels
My second love from taobao <3
This pair of heels is so nice ! Omg I finally owned a white heels <3
Really love the design, and the height, not very heavy and painful when I am wearing it.
Plus, it is also damn cheap :D
9. White skinny jeans
Yay for skinny jeans. Got this pair of jeans from H&M cause I think that I will wear long pants to school more often. So, here's my another pair of jeans <3 Really love white colour, even though it makes me look fatter o.o
So, that's all for my May Hauls :)
Hope you guys enjoy it and I will see you guys soon.
Should be studying right now. But I cant help sharing this post here.
Final is coming real soon, in less than 5 days.
I actually bought a lot of things in May and I wanted to post a Huge May Hauls here.
But it seems like it will take up most of my time. So I decided to delay that post first.
Oh yea, since exams is here, I also stopped watching drama.
The other reason I stopped watching drama is that I haven't find any nice drama yet.
So no favourite drama for this month :/
So what I am going to share in my May Favorite?
Song <3
I have been loving the electronic kind of song lately :D
It help to smooth my emotions and also make me feel good.
You know my favorite melody is always those sad songs right?
Listening to those songs don't really inspire me or encouraging. Still, I love those songs,
because it means that there's someone feeling the same way like me <3
Okay, one of the songs that I want to share here is
1. Alan Walker - Faded
Before this song got real famous, I already know this song.
And he is forgiven for not knowing what I am thinking.
I want a man who's understandable
He must trust me and also be trustworthy
He must give me some freedom and I will give him his.
I want a man who's responsible
He can be childish but he can't be irresponsible
He can be playful like a kid, but he must have the gut to take the consequences.
I want a man who knows how to make me laugh
He can be a boring person who only know how to say cold jokes
but he must not make me cry.
I want a man who's free of financial burden
He can be not from a rich family but he must know how to earn money
He can be not buying me expensive present but he must at least have the heart.
I know you might think that this PERFECT person doesn't exist in the world
But who knows?
He might just standing somewhere nearby and finding a nice timing to appear in front of me.
Regardless of all the characteristics, it doesn't really define a person.
What if there's this person exist, but he's actually a rapist ? LOL
Fake might be real and Real might be fake.
All I really want is the one who truly loves me and will take the responsible to take care of me, without leaving me alone no matter what happened. And that's how I define love. <3
OMG But I am not ready for SWOT week and exams >.<
I had my last day of school on Thursday, and it ended quite well.
As I had a lot of fun with my friends, whose birthday is on that day!
So after my class, I went to find an empty room for the little surprise.
The surprise is a success, and I am glad that she enjoyed her day, just like me :)
Later on, we went to Sushi Zanmai at Pyramid for dinner and llao llao for dessert <3
On my last week of semester 3 (aka Year2 semester 1), nothing went abnormal, it's just another normal school day for me. Go to class, have lunch with a bunch of friends, and go home. Without any of my conscious, the day has came and it's time to say bye-bye to my "friends" and lecturers, who I only talk in that semester.
It's weird how they became my "Hi-Bye" friends so quickly, while we're still so closed to each other last semester. It is very hard to have a close friends who you will keep on contact, no matter what course/ university you're studying. It's like a routine for me every semester: school starts, makes new friends, study together, school ends, bye-bye, and make new friends again when school starts.
So, I really appreciate those who take the effort on making the friendship last longer, cause I am not good in lasting a friendship. Like I can't simply start a conversation with my friends, even when I want to. I just don't know what to say. So, I am really thankful for those who find a topic and start the conversation first, to avoid the awkwardness.
I am not that kind of person will randomly say hi to my friends in whatsapp and ask what they've gone through, how's their life and stuff.
I will only start a conversation with them when I need help o.o
If you ask me "Are you ready for the next semester?"
A big NO for you :/
I am already not ready for exams, how am I supposed to be ready for next semester?
Even though I am quite excited that I will be going to study at another country next semester la.
Studying is always not my cup of tea. I don't enjoy studying, but I enjoy knowing those knowledge.
You know what I mean? Like I don't like to memorize thing, I prefer understanding more.
But studying is like memorizing the whole syllabus, and vomit all you've memorized and put them in the examination paper. I just can't memorize (or I should say I hate memorizing).
Well, it's kind of too late to say I hate what I am studying now.
Maybe not hate, but not enjoy? Looking at my sister's work, playing with Adobe and art, I kind of regret what I am studying now. But, Business is what I have chosen :|
I just have to try my best to enjoy it and score well.
She recorded the footages of her life (only the exciting parts) for record.
It's quite normal for people to record their life into a video. Some people recorded them using words like me and some just recorded them into a videos.
So, these are some of her videos :)
To tell you the truth, only those who know us/in the video will enjoy watching at it.
You might get bored watching at it because you might not interested in our life. :)
CNY 2016 Ep1
CNY Annual dinner Ep2
Eat everywhere Ep3
Cousin's birthday Ep4
I am quite proud of her, as she learnt all the technic by herself, without anyone teaching.
As she's not studying mass communication, she have to put effort in making those videos and try to make them look interesting.
But, I believe that one day, all the hard work will pay off.
Im not saying that she's wishing to become popular like Bubz or AndyMetSonia, those popular vloggers, but those videos will help us to remember all the beautiful moments that we once had. Those memories are priceless and it will remind us that we've a wonderful life <3
This evening, I brought my mom to a cafe that is newly opened at our housing area.
My mom did a lot of things that embarrassed me. I think that it will be an interesting topic
about my mom, I decided to share it out here. So, here goes the story.
1. The first thing she asked the receptionist was not "what do you recommend/ what's your best seller" when she wanted to order a cup of coffee. Instead, the first thing that she asked the girl who takes our order was "is there any promotion going on?"
2. Then she later found a jar of biscuits that writes "try me", and she asked the lady at the counter "is this free?". ~ Aunty is being aunty xD. ~
3. After ordering our drinks, we found a place to sit. Then she asked "why it takes them so long to make a cup of coffee? Where I only take a few seconds to make a cup of kopi-O" after a few minutes. *be patient mom* ;)
4. When the drink is served. She straight away stirred the coffee, without enjoying the coffee art/ the scent of coffee. Okay, maybe that's totally fine. But the way she stirred the coffee, so hard that she thought there's condensed milk underneath. *my mom is too cute* ^.^
5. After having a sip of the coffee, she popped out a sentence. "why is the coffee so bitter ?". She even asked me whether they have condensed milk/ sugar, so that she can add some of them inside. But mom, that's latte ! The most not bitter coffee xD
6. She also complaint that the coffee is not hot enough. *asian being asian* who likes to eat/drink super hot food/drink. The coffee is not suppose to be too hot la.
7. Then, she complaint that the complementary biscuit is too small ~ She asked me to see whether she can asked for more FREE biscuits ! *no way mom!* o.o 8. Later on, she muttered to herself that she should bring her bread/biscuit to the cafe. *mom, I can hear you ~ and the answer is still a NO !" :P
9. She finished her cup of latte and complementary biscuit in less than 5 minutes and wanted to leave the place. *mom, you should enjoy your there and chill la~*
10. Before she leave, she said " aiyo, the food here is so expensive. I rather stay at home and enjoy my kopi-O and biscuit that cost me less than rm10" xD
My cappuccino, sister's pot of tea and mom's latte <3
Even though my mom did so many things that embarrassed me. I still love her <3
April has been always my favourite month. Not because I love the number 4, but because I was born in April ! In the month of April, a lot of thing happened. I always wanted to have daily vlog, but I always don't make it. Maybe I am still not used to talking infront of the camera. But I did consistently updated my dayre and blog, which I feel very happy d :)
Oh well, now let's see what I've been loving in my favourite month :)
1. Makeup
Benefit Shy Beam
Tried all the products in this Pore-fesional kit, and I found that my favourite product of all is the Benefit Shy Beam <3 It's actually a liquid highlighter, that will make my nose bridge and cheekbone higher, creating a western look <3 I also tried to put it under my dark circle, and it works ! Maybe better than my concealer xD.
From the color of the product, it might not look as light as I though it is a highlighter. But after I applying the product on my skin, it has the magical effect that make my skin 10x lighter :o. When I first used it, I actually put quite a lot, and it make my nose bridge like 10x brighter than my skin tone. I feel like I've over contouring my nose and make me look hilarious xD
2. Song
Weibird Wei- Think of you first
This song is so nice <3 I've been listening to this song for a few day (few times per day) and I am still not bored about it yet ! I don't know why this song has the ability to let me feel heartache.
I am listening to this song while typing this post now.
第一個想到你, 沒有任何原因.....
hmm... not sure who I am thinking right now, maybe it's just my imaginary :/
But, this song is actually not saying about relationship.
This song is actually inspired by William (Weibird) who is dependence on smartphone.
He said that people nowadays are very dependence on smartphone, that the first thing they woke up is to check their phone, which shows they can't live without it.
I didn't think that the lyrics was so meaningful until I listen to the song closely and read the description. Hope you guys enjoy listening to this song, like me <3
This cereal is really nice <3 I am actually not a big fan of cereal. I always add yogurt/ milk to enhance the taste of cereal. But with this, I do not need to add any extra flavour to it. It's tasty, crunchy and delicious itself, as it's already sweetened with brown sugar. I've tried both cranberry flavour, and apple&hazelnut flavour. And I still prefer this cranberry one, even thought the apple&hazelnut flavour is similarly tasty. I always like to munch something when I am studying or doing work. Eating this make me feels like I am eating something healthy and non fattening xD That's why I really love this, where I can finish one box within a few days :P
4. Drama
Healer <3
Omg omg Ji Chang Wook is damn handsome and cool <3 Maybe better than Song Jong Ki xD
In the midst of works and assignment, I still got to watch this drama, makes me feel very blessed. At that period, the most exciting of the day is always after I done what I've to do. Because I always make myself to finish my work first before I watch drama <3 And Ji Chang Wook has became one of my motivation to finish my work earlier :D
Chang-Wook is acted as a guy names Jung-hoo, an illegal night errand guy with the code name Healer. He is always equipped with wearable smart gadgets and he is always running at the rooftop, accomplishing task with his fighting skills, which make him super attractive la <3
So, one day, one of his client asked him to go check out a girl, named Yong-Shin. While he is following the girl around, he slowly fall in love with her and he also found something related him.
One the journey to discover the truth and resolve the mystery from the past, they will have to deal with the conflict TRUTH vs FATE. Quite an interesting story :)
So that's all for my April Favourites.
Hope you guys enjoy reading :) Bye ~
