skirting around summer

I wish boys would dress like boys, and girls would dress like girls, and help us all avoid awkwardity! Embrace your body, people. Don't be fooled.

This Etsy seller located in China sells such wonderful (handmade) skirts! One skirt costs around RM 100, but most are in the RM 200 range.

All skirts have the same name (HIPPIE SUMMER DRESS/ELEGANT HIPPIE DRESS) but each are so unique and colorful.

Here are some of my favorite. Girls, wouldn't you like one for yourself? :D Wearing one would make it feel like you're spreading summer colors all around. Yum!

Tumblr is an artists' dream and nightmare-it's a coveful of treasuries and a platform for better exposure, but if his or her works are not trademarked/copyrighted, someone will re-blog it over and somebody else again, until the art reaches a point of "who made this in the first place?"

Pasta for lunch! If there is one meal I can cook well, it is pasta plus Campbells soup as sauce. Or if you prefer, pasta soup. Soup with pasta. This particular version of Campbells soup was made specially for the people of Hong Kong to cater to their tastebuds! I read it in my Marketing notes once. I doubt this flavor is available here, maybe in Cold Storage.

Yes, the color of the meal is rather bland and unappetising...

I like to see people's smiles :)

So there I was in the shower, splashing water from the bucket when suddenly, the tap ran dry ._. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!! NOT NAO!!!!!

Today I spent time looking at Railay, Phi Phi, Ao Nang and Ko Lanta on wikitravel. All of them sound like they offer the same things, but have distinctly different accomodation ranges and activities! What to do now? Railay sounds great though, with limestone cliffs for rock climbing and its accessibility to the beaches nearby. Phi Phi, ah, Phi Phi-that's the gem right there, with closest access to the best Thai diving sites and Maya Bay. Plus, cliff jumping! Ao Nang and Ko Lanta are just there 'cos there are tonnes of acc. close to the beach in a big range. Any ideas?

creed

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

I've always liked this song. Reminds me of...UPSR year. Yup, that's when this song was popular. The MV is hard to understand, but I like how the band is playing while half submerged underwater!

to learn

"To learn, you must love discipline;
it is stupid to hate correction."


Proverbs 12:1

day 4

"summer" break does feel summery. it's been hot and windy all day long; so good to dry laundry! what have you been up to?

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
mark 12:30

Whenever I hear the Taylor Swift song going "Time slows down whenever you're around," I BET she's talking about my Malaysian Studies lecturer. Or history teacher.

Interesting Stuff

Fuji Instax Mini. Cheaper than Polaroid. Smaller instant photos.

Chalkboard paint. Apparently, only RM 5 at Ace Hardware! Of course I won't do that to the piano :x maybe something smaller. like a mini bar fridge :P

These recycled clocks out of vinyl records by Pavel Sidorenko are eco-friendly and stylish!

Dahlia ear studs. I'd love one of these in a vanilla cream or pale peach. So cute. These turqoise ones (not updated on Seenamon yet) will do for now (I have two pairs on hand). The colors remind me of the color scheme of 500 Days of Summer.

Simply adorable handmade rubberstamps from Kulit Manggis. Hmm, perhaps its time for Seenamon to get one of its own ;)

Inception was excellent. Simply because it was an original story that appeals to people and makes them talk, cos hey, who doesn't dream? Almost all the stuff in the movie I've dreamt of - the houses on the water, the stairs architecture, the dream in a dream, and the falling off Cobb's apartment into nothingness. Scary! Have you dreamt of any before?




Oh, and I tak jadi pergi Ipoh :( namun, kawan-kawanku masih dapat pergi, dan itu yang matters! :) PTL


I'd like to end with one of my favorite scriptures:

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline."

Ps. 111:10

Haaaay gurrrl.

D showed me this video. Hi. La. Ri. Ous!

people are driving me crazy!!! are you driving someone crazy too?

saved

Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved. For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort...I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.

Phil 3:2-3,9

american spin and spanish arm

Zooey Deschanel looks like Katy Perry...but a nicer version.




Sam came over today. Did you know she changed her Facebook name from Sam to Samantha to Sam again?

Today, there was only me and the other student at class. We were quite capable of learning patterns-so the instructor taught us the American Spin and the Spanish Arm. The Spanish Arm is a bit like a Right to Left or a Left to Right, but it turns the opposite direction during the second half. At first I couldn't see what was so Spanish about the moves, but after the arms were used, you could see that it was similar to the Spanish flamenco (?) dancers' stance. Cool!

The American Spin...the other student could do it quite well. But the best I could manage was a Malaysian spin =.= It's something like a pirouette on ice. I never pirouette/spin nicely, even when I was a kid.

After class I went to pick up some stuff from Miss Petite. We're meeting again tomorrow for more items. And of course, dinner with college friends + Mr. V at Cheers. Mmmm...can't wait for the fish head broth mee hoon.

sour cream and chives

Today was the last paper (Retailing). After I left early, I went to check my email, sent out an email and went downstairs to buy lunch (a packet of pasta + sauce in powder form. I think you call it instant pasta?) 'cos there was milk in the fridge at home, and being typical Asians, nobody in my family drinks milk as it is (unless it's Dutch Lady chocolate/strawberry milk) so I have to use up the milk before it spoils. I've been using milk in the crepes, but 1 liter of milk is a lot to use up. Anyway! I rang Sam and asked her if she'd like to watch Inception at 3.45pm at MBO (because it's RM5 day and my exams are over) but she was preoccupied.


After leaving college, I went to stock up for Seenamon for this weekend's bazaar.





My favorite part of the semester: sorting out my notes! This enjoyable activity lets me separate official handwritten notes from other notes. And so I did. Looking through how much I learnt this semester (not much), but not able to bind them together because I can't find the stapler. Chi kek.


I wish you a very terrific thursday tomorrow.

"Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you your heart's desires."
