Fishytail braids

Last Sunday, I decided to finally learn how to do a fishytail braid cause I have nothing better to do, obviously HEH You can google up if you have no idea what a fishytail braid is, it's actually called fishtail braid but I purposely added the y to make it sounds cuter (x

Anyways, it's not really the new trend or something, it's been a while since last year I think. I searched for tutorial videos on youtube (duh!) and found this video which shows the easier version of fishtail braid and she explains it quite clearly. It turned out to be way easier than I thought! I find other videos either to fast for me to catch up (maybe it's just me who is slow to pick up HAHA) or it's only video without anyone speaking, weird much. So here goes!

And showing you my #1 attempt on fishytail braid;

..which ended up looking like the normal french braid T_T So the trick is to take smaller chunks of hair to cross over, geddit geddit? Btw, I like how my hair looks so soft here.

TIP: Do practise in front of a mirror, it makes things easier and faster, at least for me (: 

Then, it gets better with the #2 attempt! Like they always said, practice makes perfect :D I can see the difference, can you? 

Last but not least, my #3 attempt and I'm loving it! ♥

Nice not? ( ´▽｀)
But how come it still doesn't look like the one in the video? HMPHHH D:
Maybe cause I don't have thick hair and I wish I have highlights then the braid would look pretty!

#OOTD

And this is me, going out with the fishytail braid and ignore my ugly fringe that is not behaving that day.
Mint Crotchet top; Cotton On
Spaghetti Strap & High Wasit Short; Forever 21
Flats; H&M
Bag; Charles and Keith

So do try out the fishtail braids and show it to me :D It's so easy, you can even have style it on a daily basis and say goodbye to the plain ol' french braid ~

Hope y'all are enjoying your holidays as much as I do!ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ Till then,
xx.

Late 2012 Resolutions

Hello there! *waves while clearing the spider webs and dust* I know it's has been only a week since I updated but my stats has been dropping drastically this time *stab self* So it's time to put my procrastination to an end!

I actually drafted this post back in June but I think it will be more like it to post it in July, in conjunction with the whole 'second half of 2012' thing, if you get what I mean. The next thing I know, July is ending in a few days as I'm writing this post now, MEH. I was searching for my first few posts in January to see what I've written for my 2012 resolutions since I've forgotten a thing about it #aging but to find that I didn't wrote any  this year probably cause I never seem to fulfill most of my resolutions for the past two years HARHAR IKR, typical me *snort*

Oh well, it's never too late! There's just something about 2012 that words can't even describe, like a good vibe y'know. I shall just list some and we'll see if I can fulfill them by the end of this year #challengeaccepted.jpg

1. Be thankful at all times, be it bad or good. After all these years of living and complaining, (or maybe a sign of aging or I'm more mature now *cough*), I start to appreciate things around me now, even if it's those little things in life. I always remind myself how lucky I am to have what I have now compared to those who are unfortunate.

#2. Eat healthy, workout and live healthy. Ever since I entered college, I've gained weight yet never did a thing about it. I always tell myself I should start exercising and go on a diet but it just never happens. Until earlier this year, I started stalking a bunch of fitblrs (fitness tumblr) and it totally changed my perception, slowly turning me into a fitness freak. Losing weight is not about starving yourself, it's actually more than that. There's a healthy way of doing it! It's not wrong to have good food once in a while to reward yourself but most importantly is to eat healthy :D I think I can write a long post about this and the workouts I did, I have so much more to say HEH Moving on... Of course I want to lose some weight, but the main target will be looking fit and healthy. I'm now 4kgs away to reach my UGW! I've been putting off my workout and eating healthy plan for a month now and I'm pretty shocked my weight still remain the same. Time to work my butt off again once I'm back in uni!

#3. Be optimistic and aim for the best in everything I do. I'm no longer a sophomore now, my third year of degree is starting in a week time. I seriously can't imagine I'm already half way through my course, but still I feel tiny at times comparing to those who resemble a walking encyclopedia in my batch. Time to buck up and feed myself with more knowledge, if and only if I manage to get rid that lazy habit of mine when it comes to studying. On a side note, I tear a bit everytime I look at my friends' graduation photos, they do motivate me in a way as well gosh I can't wait for that day myself. 2 more years to go, baby! I hope for the best but I need to learn to prepare for the worst as well. Never put your hopes up high or going too over-confident, it kills #truestory

#4. Save more, save less. I'm proud to say that I did manage to save this year, not a big amount but hey it's still an achievement for a big spender like me. I cut down on unnecessary shopping though it's still hard to resist at times HAHA I have to tendency to buy something every single time I visit a shopping mall. There's just forever too many stuff in my wishlist and it's never ending le sigh if only money grow on trees! Besides, I learn to earn my own money to buy instead of just asking from my parents. I guess I've already fulfill this resolution by 20%, I still need to save more T__T

#5. Be happy(!) to increase my lifespan and indirectly making me a better person. Less grumpy, less mean to everyone HAHA A day without a smile, is a day wasted (:

#6. Update my blog more often! HEHE and be more efficient despite my commitment as a student. Speaking of which, I haven't even blog about my family trip last Dec *slap self* People get bored easily, so you gotta update your blog frequently" - @vivyyusof ‪#NNBMY2012‬ This year has been quite a fruitful year for my blog so far that I've never expected in a million years. Someone just recently told me "Continue that good blog of yours. With such content, you never know the length you may experience under blogging.." That is INDEED encouraging. To me, I'm just a nobody-blogger but thanks to my humble blog that has gave me tons of opportunities besides widen my social circle and made me step out of my comfort zone. Perhaps it's time to come out with a new blog layout, a domain and maybe my first name card? Need more $$$ for all these too HAHA we shall see then!

I guess that's enough for now. 6 resolutions for the remaining second half of 2012 (: Hoping for a magnificent one! Life is too short, and too strange and too awful and too unpredictable to wake up with regrets and to not try to get more of what you want. Do what you have to do, for you. Love the people who treat you right and forget those the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, but it's going to be worth it.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step, you ready? Cause I sure am!

[Spoiler alert]: Kembara Media 1M trip coming up next!

Here comes the fighter

Yuhooooo, I am back again after a long weekend including today, another public holiday in Sarawak (: And yes it's June already! After a few more weeks, we would be entering into the second half of 2012. So you know how they say new month, new beginning and speaking of which we actually have 12 chances in a year to have a new beginning. May was considered quite awesome after a  major breakdown somewhere in April, I guess sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things. So, I was hibernating at home for the whole month of May, doing what I do best, well fed and pampered besides having a couple of good things going on as well. Now that June has arrived, I've been anticipating for this one news in order to put my sorrow to an end. Surprisingly, it was out earlier than all of us expected - OUR FINALS RESULT. I've passed my other two modules(!) but I still have to resit for the module that I've flunked earlier. To be honest, I still can't get over the fact that I screwed it up once or maybe it's just the asian kia-su genes in me overreacting.  But the thought of screwing it up again is really driving me up the wall, which would be probably the last thing I wanna do. A swirl of emotions I couldn't quite pin down. I think about it every night before I go to bed...and I ended up having a hard time falling asleep. I know how unusual it is of me to dump  everything out  here but I just can't help it. 

This is exactly how I feel. 

I've learned that life isn't a bed of roses and how it can seem so daunting at times. People may go like, duh it's just a paper, why so emo.. I even said that I'm fine but I don't get it either why am I babbling about this all over again, eff emotions ahhh it must be the cabin fever. No matter what are the odds, I still have to face it. I can do this, I can make it through!

Be confident. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something that we aren't. 

I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of non feeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.   

                                                                                                                                           — Sylvia Plath

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter. 

There's a fighter somewhere underneath this skin and bones; When you stop fighting, you stop living. We all need that thing that’s worth fighting for. Maybe it’s a certain someone, or a special place, maybe just an idea. So find your right, and fight like hell, till your battle is won. 

把握生命中的每一分钟，全力以赴我们心中的梦，不经历风雨怎么见彩虹，没有人能随随便便成功。

You have the strength, patience and passion to achieve your goal, all you have to do is TRY. 

Last but not least, to all the fighters out there! ヽ(´▽｀；)/♪

A Rainbow Halo

If you guys are following me on twitter or a friend of mine in FB, you would have known the big fuss I made about the ring around the bushsun this morning. I received a call from Dad who was at work asking me to take a photo of the peculiar rainbow that is surrounding the sun. I don't know why but I have goosebumps all over after that, quickly grab my camera and headed outside. After a few minutes of squinting my eyes just cause the sun is too bright today, this is what I saw!

A rainbow halo #cerealspitting.jpg

It feels like the sun is in a bubble *poke poke*

Since nobody cares to explain what sorcery is this, being my usual self, I went and ask Uncle Google and this is what I found;

“ In folklore, a ring (often called a halo) seen around the sun or the moon means precipitation (usually rain) is coming — Source.

But somehow it's not true cause it didn't rain after that, not even a bit the whole day. Uncle wiki helps as well, which I didn't bother finish reading it cause physics isn't my forte, like how it occurs due to refraction or reflection of light with ice crystals instead of water yadaa yadaa yadaa Somehow it's a mysterious optical phenomena that is actually not uncommon at all, there are people who witnessed it before in the other parts of the world (Here, here, here, here and here).  

I guess I'm lucky to be able to see one, it's just one of those extraordinary Saturdays perhaps ♥ 
Happy weekends!

Cheers to the freakin' weekend!

First and foremost, a big big apology to my readers (if there are still any around) for the sudden hiatus. Been busy preparing for my practical exam ever since I got back from Terengganu last Saturday. Fyi, I'm now on my sem break, finally some time to rest after a crazy and jam packed semester. All these while, I've been anticipating for my 3 months sem break to come but not anymore. Shit just happens, I'm utterly disappointed with myself.

Life is like a ferris wheel, at one moment you were high up as if you're an inch away from touching the clouds but a moment later, everything fall apart and you are down at your lowest and everything fall apart, on the verge of breaking down. In fact, I've surrendered myself and gave it all out. Although sometimes circumstances will force me to fall on your knees, at the end of the day, I still have to keep calm and get up cause life's too short to be sittin' round miserable ╮(╯▽╰)╭ ♪ I'm just thankful to have such supportive family, friends and classmates, it wouldn't be possible without you guys around supporting me.

There's a fighter somewhere underneath this skin and bones. 

“ Chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don’t lick your wounds: celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You’re in a lion fight. Just because you didn’t win doesn’t mean you don’t know how to roar. — Grey’s Anatomy

A note to self; it's not the end. 

“ Next time you’re stressed, take a step back, inhale and laugh. Remember who you are and why you’re here. You’re never given anything in this world that you can’t handle. Be strong, be flexible, love yourself, and love others. Always remember, just keep moving forward.

So PL0520, I have no other choice but to see you again. No worries guys, I'm all fine now. I'm strong, remember? I will update soon, promise (:

Happy 11/11/11

A day that only comes once in an eternity. At 11.11.11 on 11.11.11, the time and date will be a perfect same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backwards as forwards, which is also the time this scheduled post is posted while I'm still in my slumberland :P so practically I missed it LOL

Blink and you'll miss it. 

You can it's overrated or it maybe just a date for you, but it can be the an important big day worth remembering for others. So what's your #111111wish?

Of course I know they don't come true. But still, let's make this day a memorable one!

The Big Two-Oh

I'm not a girl, not yet a woman... This is it, another new beginning for a new chapter of life (: There will be no longer a number '1' in front of my age. I'm turning old with even more wrinklesgreat responsibilities to bear. I'm afraid to grow up because sometimes it seems like things will never feel this beautiful again. But still I need to keep in mind that I will never be this young again, I'll have to enjoy and cherish every second I have. I'm now a 20 years old young adult, time to act like one I guess? :P

I don't really have a particular wishlist for my birthday this year; I just wish to

• Pass my second year of degree!
• Have good health and unlimited happiness for my family, friends and myself.
• Be a better self in all things.

Happy birthday to my dear self. I'm a big girl now but will forever still be my daddy's girl *pat self*

Since I was a kid, birthdays have always been all about celebration and presents and as I grow older, I came to realise that what's more important is what good stuff have I achieved as I grew a year older but that still doesn't change the fact that my birthday is my favourite day every year and it's OUGHT to be remembered and celebrated #likeaprincess! ;) Now where's my present? HAH

I count my blessings, I owe the big boss up there a big time for His never ending love, mercy and grace throughout these 20 years that I've lived. I'm just beyond thankful and blissful for all that I have now, especially my family, my boyfriend and friends who are always my pillars of support. I would be nothing without you guys <3<3 Once again, Happy birthday Hilda! 

Much love,
A year older me.

P/S: 24 hours ago, it was the boyf's birthday.
P/P/S: 24 hours later, it will be Mummykins' birthday!
P/P/P/S: Triple the happiness ♡

With each sunrise, we start anew.

Each and every day is a given choice. To start over, move forward or change directions. All you have to do is decide. — Tere Arigo ☼

Photos are taken while I'm on my way to Ampang this morning around 7-ish. It's beautiful, really beautiful.

TGIF

It's Friday, Rebecca Black's day people! Fridays have always been my favourite day of the week cause the next day is Saturday and Sunday comes after that! Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend ♪♫ Part of it is because I normally don't have class on Friday and I get to see my boyf on Friday as well heh

Do you like Fridays too? Who doesnt?! If not,

So this girl named Rebecca Black was actually trending in twitter for a few days last week and now she's back trending in twitter again! In case you don't know who the hell is she (SHAME ON YOU), she's a 13 years old girl who became famous by singing the Friday song and got over a millions views on her youtube video.

Even Lady Gaga liked her and said that she's a genius! I like her too cause she loves Friday too, just like I do. Here, meet Rebecca Black ♥ 

So now I got another reason to love Friday cause I got a song to sing just on Friday! This song is kinda addictive HAHA and no, I don't find it annoying cause probably I'm immune to it already LOL Click here to watch her official video;

& you might wanna watch this as well, I bet it's gonna made your Friday (; 

I suppose it's not a great Friday for everyone, especially those from our neighbouring countries who got attacked by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake last night. It was felt as far away as the Thai capital Bangkok, and in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi. Now, this is scary! Will Malaysia be the next victim? :S BBC News reported that at least 75 people were killed. My prayers and thought will always be out there with them, so don't forget to #prayformyanmar!

& earth hour is happening tomorrow, so what's your plan?

Edited:

Support the EARTH HOUR tonight at 8:30 pm by joining the rest of the world in turning our lights off for 1 hour to make our stand against climate change. Remember, every watt will make a difference!
