33 fun facts.

*EDITED* haha. sorry i just changed the header, the picture was supposingly for someone, but i guess it quite failed.

i've been wanting to do something out-of-the-box aeons ago.

33 because, 50 is way too many and 10 is no fun. there will be blank notes, because it just simply signifies that i am going to constantly update. fun! haha.

33 fun facts

1. i always check myself out in mirrors/reflective items. haha. extremely vain. doesn't really neccesarily depends on where, but when i mean seriously EVERYWHERE, really everywhere. i mean it. especially in shopping malls. haha. you know, you have mirrors and reflective glasses outside the shops? a-ha.

2. i hate chewing gum and sweets. why do people chew on them? i've seen friends who chew on them for HOURS, don't the gum become soggy after some time? and it becomes tasteless! i haven't chewed on a gum since 12 years old. and i don't consume sweets because i think sweets harm my teeth. i have some kinda 'rotten teeth phobia'.

3. i usually don't mind acting stupid if it makes someone smile. making someone happy makes me feel like someone.

4. i sleep with sleeping eyeshades. and i haven't been sleeping without one for a long time. it has become a habit. please google 'sleeping eyeshades' if you have zilch idea what it is. btw, it's the free thing they give you on airplanes (not air asia).

5. i like to make plans in advance because, i like to plan out my outfits. if i do things spontaneously, i always tend to repeat my outfits, fml man. and i dislike repeating outfits. haha. so if you want to go out with me, please let me know the exact timing. because a girl's gotta get ready, we're not man.

6. i feel absolutely, completely, naked without my watch. so i always wear my watch wherever i go. not wearing a watch makes me feel very naked. i've been wearing a watch since 7 years old. everyday to school, so i am very used to having a watch on my wrist.

7. i cannot differentiate left and right spontaneously. i take like 3 seconds to really tell it's a left or right. and i tell them apart by looking at my watch, my watch is always on my left wrist. haha.

8. i like having time alone. so i don't mind the occasional lone-shopping or the occasional book reading/tv watching etc. but i always make time for myself. either to reflect or relax. and i won't purposely seek for someone to talk to in msn/facebook/sms etc, unless i like you or i am used to talking to you. spending time alone gives me the opportunity to actually feel grounded or humane. if i'm always with someone, i tend to feel very dependent and i hate that kinda feeling.

9. i love post-it notes!!! they're cute and i always wanted someone to leave me cute post-it notes. but i only leave them for myself. how sad. haha. i write everything from addresses to appointments to user steps to phone number to things to do to things to buy to exam schedules on post-it notes! they're adorable. i heart them!

10. i hate people who questions my intelligence. period.

11. i can tolerate heat, but i cannot stand being in the cold. it's excruciating! that really explains the many cardigans, sweaters and pullovers. i am sure everyone has a favourite: the heat or the chill. mine's the heat. thanks!

12. my mother used to say sleeping on a book will make me smart! so when i was young i put books underneath my pillow, thinking i'd be smart. later in life someone told me, it makes me stupid wtfomgbbq man. but i still sleep on books thinking my brains would absorb the knowledge while i was asleep, so screw me. haha.

13. i don't trust easily and i don't believe things/people easily. there's a time to overcome and a sold foundation to build before i can actually believe in someone or something. you can say i am very protective of myself.

14. i like to eat bread! whee. haha. i would choose bread over cookies and biscuits.

15. i have the tendency to reward myself all the time. if you wonder why i like to buy things, i always FIND a reason to buy something. for example, 'i went for all my classes this week, i shall buy myself a pair of shoes' or 'it's been a week since i last bought something, i shall reward myself'. what is a shopping ban for right? i reward my own shopping bans by going shopping! is there some kind of cure for this?

16. you may think i am your usual rihanna-beyonce-britney music fan, but i guess i am a true rocker chick. i love it when the crowd sings along, it usually brings me to tears. haha. i love songs with guitar solos, oh no. occasionally jazz when the time is right. i mean, lady gaga is cute and poker face is adorable, but i just get sick of it very easily.

credits to mindy chung. i love my mraz wannabe picture! i look adow-rable! haha.

dressed up!

this is a girlie post. so if you're a guy, don't stay any much longer okay. actually this is for a blog reader of mine, whom consulted me on a 'dress' dilemma the other day. and she wanted to know what sort of dresses i invest in, wtf.

i was.....ataken back by that statement. challenge. because, really i have no specific dresses i favour.

i was thinking since i was going to take pictures, might as well i just do this on a blog post. wtf. haha. i am sorry, i am no fashionista, but i just happen to like to collect clothes. so see me as a clothes collector.

i, well, have fetish over white/offwhite/cream dresses. they're pretty to look at. but a pain to maintain.

i like white dresses with floral designs or eyelet designs. they're extremely pretty and white coordinates nicely with any other colours!

i like lazy dresses. i have no idea their specific names but these are dresses i put on when i feel lazy or extremely laid back wtf. or when i feel extremely ugly.

more lazy dresses! anyway i don't really wear them. i don't know why i bought them. kimonos are laid back too, because it's such a lazy person's choice.

and i absolutely love empire waistline dresses (baby doll dresses). i mean, it's EXTREMELY me.

i er took a picture with this because i love this particular dress. wtf, i even wore it for company law extra classes, i remember hello. and this was from pull & bear, pavillion. and i bought it back in 2007, long ago! i remember clearly because erm, this is one of the few dresses, which is a good investment. (carry you home is playing and it reminds me sooo much of brandon, hi there!) good investment meaning i've worn it for than five times.

baby doll dresses in gingham prints and floral designs, very very me wtf. i have no idea why i love baby doll dresses. they're extremely versatile i swear. i wear them for shopping. i wear them for movies. i wear them for dinner. i wear them to classes (throw over cardigan). so wtf, i heart baby doll dresses.

very few colourful dresses because i am not an adventurous person. but i do have them because, i sometimes need some colours to make myself happy! apparently i am a boring person, so you can't really rely on me for having purple/fuchsia/orange dresses.

sorry another fetish. why do i have so many of these! haha. wth man. i don't know. um, smocked tube dresses are extremely casual. but easy to throw over with. just that these dresses have appeared to make me look very preggers, so i actually stopped wearing them.

after seeing this, i really should put them to use.

i don't collect floral dresses to the extreme, but i do not mind them. the trouble with floral dresses is that, they appear to make you look older. wtf. is that bad? i don't know. but the floral prints are so cute, sometimes it's hard for me to pass off.

flowy dresses are cute, but i seldom wear them because they appear to be very dramatic. i've only worn this like once? and i do not like long dresses! makes me look, short....sigh. and i never ever wear bubble hemmed dresses. because they're weird.

bandeau coral neck dresses. not my sort of thing. but i still have them. i hunch, so halter dresses don't look extremely too nice on me. but i try not to hunch these days! seriously. i have actually few more halter dresses, but really, i am too lazy to post up pictures. i am sorrrrry!



DRESSES WHICH HASN'T BEEN WORN AND ARE BRAND NEW. wtf man seriously. and i still have dresses which were pre-ordered last week. so, invite me to your party because i have so many dresses to wear.


so seriously, if you asked me what sort of dresses i invest in, i really can't give you a specific answer because i buy whatever that i really fancy in. i have not enough time to put up pictures of the rest. but i still have maxi dresses (what for did i buy them! they make me look short) and other unneccesary dresses. sigh. this jailbrid one is cute, but i've only once it twice i think.

ok, after this post, i have decided to really seriously, stop buying dresses. haha, SERIOUS.

it's extremely late and it's time to sleep. i am sorry if you find me extremely self contented talking about my dresses. but i find this post very self reflecting because, it thought me not to buy anymore dresses.

ps. so brandon! forget about the dresses i asked you to get for me. now i want shoes. haha. will talk to you which colour, but I DOWAN BOTH SAME SHOES!

thank you for taking 5 minutes off you 24 hours to read my dressy post!

yester-years.

today i was at college signing up for my subjects, for my final semester. i mean, TIME FLIES. i remember going to education fair in 2007 and now you tell me i'm doing my final semester. i cannot face the fact though. i've grown so much. and learnt so much. changed so much.


i was just a child, young carefree child once back then.

let's see how i've grown.


i was a very young, pampered child. because i was the youngest, my sister and my mum gave me everything i wanted and i was never caned! the most was just kneeling in front of the altar.

the baby bolster, which i named my blog after. which lived with me up to 21 years. which is now, lying dearly next to my pillow. i wished i was young and had no responsibilities!

back at primary years, this is a prefectorial board picture. i was a prefect for a year till i realized the prefect thing wasn't for me, i settled in for a ketua kelas post. that's sabrina on the left!!! haha, coconut hair wtf. and that's kumutha devi, hi.

this was, form four. during church confirmation night. where's nat d cruz. haha. see, i was leggy back then too! hehe.

candid for LEO. iu director, funding director (very good funding dir.), membership director, kelefeh (wtf, secretary lah) and president! eh i was skinny back then too.

mo jern very imba handsome here. this is form five i think.

i've grown so much, and i don't want to grow!! stop me from growing up.

remind me how i've grown this fast.

random shu talk!

cute. i just finished my international monetary economics paper. and like all economics paper (you know, those which starts with ECON), i was again short of time. hello, people need to write in for an extension because really, it hurts my arm!


have you ever heard of arm sore due to exams? if no, take an ECON1087 paper. haha.


sorry have to bathe, i haven't taken my bathe this morning when i went for paper.
edited: ok i smell good now.


i think i just caught a cold because i am sneezing (bless me, and my heart because it stopped for a moment wth). someone taught me this, we say 'bless you' when someone sneezes because their heart actually stopped for a moment! cool, how come we do not say, rest in peace?


anyway, i was here because no, not to rant about my exams, but to talk about shoes!


yes shoes! today when i was taking my bag from the front of the exam hall, mun wah (the cf president!) stepped on my sandals and she exclaimed 'eh you're in sandals!' hahahaha. metropolitan people are so mean because they sterotype me by my clothes.


mun wah once said, when we were in sunway pyramid (for lunch i think, and i went to pick a card for special someone's birthday, but sad, wrong address!), and i was looking at shoes, she said 'marianne is always in ballet flats'. wtf. very observant, but why categorize me like that! haha. but i found it very funny i burst out laughing. i heart you, mun wah (but finish exam d, do not forget to return my precious macro2 notes)!


and it was true, i never ever wore any shoes, except ballet flats to class! how odd. i really really really heart ballet shoes (or some people call it cotton candy shoes, wtf!!)!! they're easy to slip on, cover my ugly toes. very convenient.

i love ballet shoes! converse there because i really want a pair of converse but i can't find myself forking out for converse!

i love the cream, off-white coloured pair. ( not the black and white one ) love love love. love love!

i.want.to.go.shopping.but.i.still.have.risk.management. shit. can anyone tell me where to get pretty shoes like that? that is from debenhams btw, but debenhams in malaysia is OVERPRICED! (according to the efficient market hypothesis in finance, usually the price falls, BUT NO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO SHOE!!)

somebody save me because i am trying to look for a perfect pair of white, comfortable BALLET FLATS! ok some criterias, has to be off white or cream coloured, and it's base has to be rubber, not the hard ones which produces the *kik kok* sound when you walk. and it has to cover my toes!

argh!!!

Ps. oh i dun like wearing heels, so yeah, don't advise me buying heels. they're so UNCOMFORTABLE! how can you pe-poLL wear them?!! they're not meant to be worn! rarr!

Ppppssss. and don't stereotype me by my clothes or shoes please! i feel sad because i feel as if my shoes n skirts give me my personality instead of me giving it to them wth! so no, don't acknowledge me as the-girl-with-ballet-flats or the-girl-who-never-wears-long pants. i feel saD!

5.40 am.

uuueeerghhh!! i just saw pictures from Bangkok and all i want to do now is go to bangkok.

bangkok is my favourite place to be!!! i am so stressed out about financial planning and international monetary economics and and and managing risk, i want to go shopping. *pouts*

i would marry anyone who would bring me there now. seriously.

5.30 am.

it's 5.30 am and i should be in bed. because it was a promise. i can hear the birds chirping outside already. i wonder why do ss2 birds wake up too early. seriously.


today i realized, people actually do read my blog. haha. the other day, there was a sweet girl from penang who added me in msn, telling me she got to know me from here. and my blog was how i met alvin too! haha, stalker.


but anyways, updates because i am still not willing to go to bed and it looks like someone forgot to check on me. awesomes!


this blog has been too much of what i am feeling. so this time, is gonna be, what i am doing! i miss doing posts on what i eat and what i wear wtf. so fun. and easy, less depressing! hehe.


lunch at face2face. where i feel their sarawak noodles taste better than their 'wooden mee' (ala pan mee wth).


so this is a what i ate post....with a what i wore post...and a what am i doing post...haha.


me! because i woke up extra early. and had nothing better to do, and i just felt like doing it today. please tell me have i grown horizontally? i hope i have. le sigh.

le siggggggggggggggggh. international monetary economics. there's 8 graphs of 8 different mechanisms to remember. how did i do it for macro2! it just to be so fun.

i told brandon a couple of hours ago, how i detest ime. but really, i think if i had better notes, and a better lecturer, i would really love this subject. it's really interesting, albeit confusing.

leeeeee siggggggggggggggggggh, it's time for bed. because me nerve calming song (always on

my mind) has just ended. love you, whoever you are, reading this. thank you, for taking 2 minutes of your time reading what i have to say.=))

half of a year. compounding pictures.

yes, i am finding time to at least jot down something for me to look back 20 years later and think 'oh this is what i did 20 years back'.


i am struggling. seriously, i haven't had such a battle for such a long time, it feels so surreal this time. having to battle between finals, a break up and decisions to be made for a trip which was pre-planned (with not much thought of its consequences), i find myself staring dreamily into nothing-ness.


i mean i used to be so grounded on my own feet, what happened to me. i miss me. that's why i keep finding myself insisting that i need so much time alone. to find myself back. it's just that my alter ego has been working for far too long.


so in no particular order, these are some events which took place. (when i was still happening and not preparing for finals)


my first half of two thousand nine:


genting weekend with family. which i spent reading organisational behaviour in the room. it was samseng's 4th birthday.

ryan gan's 1st birthday at dish deli, solaris mont kiara. very quiantly place. but i hated the furnitures.

s vien(xi wen)'s 21st birthday at mc donald's where we gossipped for hours!

we ushered the first day of two thousand nine in dickson's house. oh dickson is my new found friend whom i met on 25th of december 2008. haha.

brandon's cny open house where we messed around with his things.

my 21st birthday trip. and yes, i need a little trip right now. but pangkor was too slumber for me. i would've died if i stayed another night there.

my 21st birthday dinner with the college mates, wished jo n yenne was there! wtf. dinner at tomoe/tomeo, wtf, forgot, sorry. but it was such a fun night!

arthur's farewell dinner at his place. where yee vonn learnt to play her first mahjong game, with my guidance. haha.

random lunches with college mate, which we ended up doing regularly now. like every wednesday followed by foosball, isn't it! haha. where they guys will lose. this was in kim gary/wongkokcharchanteng(forgot sorry, remind me xiwen!).

two thousand nine was also where i bade farewell to many people who means the world to me. that was perhaps the last laughter we had at the airport.

in two thousand nine, i took random pictures of people's feet, wtf. haha. no, in two thousand nine i finished many OB assignments and felt that we should celebrate it! this was at pizza hut where we forgot to call mei yen.

fung keng's birthday at orange, hartamas. where we ended up having bah kut teh in kepong!

one of the many gambling sessions during cny. this was the first night at weng's crib! where i still had my beauuuutiful long curly hair wtf. that was the last time i curled my hair, boo-hoo.

eric's 21st at orange, hartamas. and dinner at puchong. this was before cny i think. IS IT? i am mixing up my dates, help me!

ee vonn's 21st at negara ampang. where i had to drive there, no thanks to yin wai. scary. and the picture above is the after party! at old town, wtf. haha. where the girls sat there and listened to the guys talking about dota, wtf. sigh.

the surprise for ee vonn at eric's crib! where we found a dollar under the table mat.

dinner with lee hom. haha. wait till he sees this.

sai ho's 22nd birthday at long bar, one world hotel. where his prediction about wern n dickson not coming became true!

so, how would you rate my half a year? haha. i still have been skipping classes like nobody's business. but then i feel weird this year. not as happy as i was last year. maybe i just haven't found myself and really, i think too many dilemmas have been bogging me down.

please pray for me that i find myself. haha. so that i can actually start reading my international monetary economics. it's a sickening subject.

the only thing which still has kept me happy would be shopping. haha. does anyone know where to get nice hangers or hangers in bulk at cheap prices!? i used to get them from the suppliers directly. i have no idea where those 30 hangers i newly bought went to. so please pm me if you know where to get nice and cheap hangers in bulks! thank you.
