Magical.

Hello! :)

I'm glad Li Sim blogs, or else this blog would be so dead because I don't blog much *not because I'm lazy*

Anyway, I'm here to give a not-so-brief story on my holiday, which was simply amazing. :D

1. Oxford :)

Yes, I went to Oxford! ;) I was there for an interview for 4 days and 3 nights *fingers crossed that I'll be accepted* :)  Anyway, it's definitely a moment I'll remember for life.

I was in Oriel College, which looks like this :

- Photo credit to Loshni for this :)  - 

I'm glad I was in Oriel because everyone there is really nice :)  Dessert was great ♥  I used to think that interviewers would be like fire-breathing monsters thanks to one of my past interviews, but during my interviews (I had 2 interviews),  my interviewers were surprisingly friendly :)

The weather there was really cold. I believed it dropped to negative 7 degree Celcius one night :/ Yours truly could not stand cold weather. Ahaha. I had to wrapped myself up in 3 or more layers of clothes everyday. My heater was my best friend there. :')

Oh! There was a little bit of snow too! :) So I guess, it was my first time seeing snow ahaha! :D

Anyway, Oxford was absolutely amazing. I'll visit it again even if I get rejected ahaha! :)

2. Bristol
After my interview ended, I went to Bristol to visit my brother :) I spent around a week or more there. Most of my time was spent on annoying my brother ( yes, this is a part of my sisterly-love ;D ) and doing house chores for him. *applause*

3.London
I went to London for 4 days and 3 nights :)  During my first day, I met up with my favourite senior, JehYing! :)

She is so pretty ahaha! She was like my tour guide there, bringing me to Hyde Park, Harrods and her university, LSE :D She is still super kind, she bought me cupcakes :') Thanks JehYing! ♥ :)

On the second day, I went to Oxford Street to shop :)  I love sales ahaha! I didn't buy a lot though because I am a rational consumer *cough* ;) Anyway, I went sightseeing on the third day. Couldn't upload any photos now because the photos are still with my brother. He refuses to send it to me because it's such a hassle for him. Oh well.

4. Cardiff
I love Cardiff ahaha! I bought this bookmark made of sheep poo. AHAHA. Anyway, I went to the Cardiff market for FOOD ;) Not a fan of Welsh cake though :/

Sadly, it was raining on my first 2 days :( So I only spent my third day in Cardiff Bay for sightseeing. Oh well, being a complete optimistic tourist, we spent the first 2 days shopping and exploring at night :) There was these 2 guys who rode bicycles and did stunts to scare me on the second night >:(

5. Malaysia
So I'm back in Malaysia again! :D Although I miss the weather, food and people here, I'm slugging through my homework instead of going out and have fun. Sigh. Thanks Sunway.

First dream

lately I have been dreaming of death. There was two versions of this kind of dream that I had. This was the first :

     I was with my friend (Secondary school friend of whom I shall not reveal) in Africa doing humanitarian work. My secondary school friend had shaved his hair and was now sporting a new look. He was bald with stubbing all over where his hair used to be. We were helping starved African children and feeding them a soup of some kind. They were envisioned as these malnourished children until the ribcage could be seen kind of malnourishment. One of them had a leg missing because of war. He took the bowl from me and smiled the most kindest smile ever. Women and children alike were taking the food together.

     Suddenly dark clouds loomed over and a bunch of men with weapons opened fire in the plain fields that we were in.We ran and the kid with the one leg was lagging behind. I rushed over to pick him up and then pushed him to run faster. I fell down and lay there while the rain beat on. The cloud was blocking so much of the sun ray that only lightning flashes provided visible light. I lay there with mud all over my face to see my friend ran on. He ran and then a man shot him from the back. I screamed and tears streamed down my eyes. My vision was blurry and I woke up. I don't know whether if it was the heart pumping or the fact that I realised that the event was just a dream. I'm just glad that the dream is over or so I thought.

All I want for Christmas is YOU ~

  Since Christmas is coming near, I have two things that I truly want and yet so hard to get. CAUSE THEY FRIGGIN EXPENSIVE !

    First is a new laptop cause this laptop has such a short life that I'm afraid when I blink the battery might go from 100% to 0%. This laptop has amazingly become NOT portable because of the restrained lifeline (the cord). I hate to move the laptop because then I would have to unplug it and move everything (laptop, fan system, cable) to and fro my room which I find can be quite hassling. Gosh, why oh why must my laptop be so bad. Sometimes, I understand why my brother even gave this to me in the first place.

     The second thing I want is a Canon EOS 1100D so I can fill this blog with pretty pictures I see everyday ~! Even saying the name makes me want it all the more ! I always wanted to have a camera of my own to take pictures with. unfortunately, I never really got the chance to get my hands on a good one. Mostly because I share my parents camera which I find it to be pretty sad >-< The extra bonus of it all is I get to have it in this vibrant red colour which I love !

   However, such wants are not necessarily needs. Looks like, I have to wait for next year Christmas to get these lovely things when I have enough hard cash to buy it. Sometimes, Christmas isn't always what the holiday live up to be. Just saying.

Back again!

     Yes we have been on a long hiatus. I think it would come to two years since we lasted posted anything. Terribly sorry about that people. Me and my friend are currently in college and since we are swarmed with work, we just forgotten about this blog.

     Sadly, it's such a quite scene to return to this blog isn't it? So, I was wondering if I could somehow change this blog to something different. Maybe something with a little more pictures to make it livelier! Well, that is for all. Don't really know what to post now since the long absence.

Not a happy ending.

I know life isn't made of sunshine and rainbows, but how great it'll be if it is.

Things should be less complicated. Dramas should not exist in real life.

I feel sick. In fact, I am sick. I don't know what am I blabbering right now. Anyway, I'm tired.

Perspective and perception

     Recently, I have heard a talk from Acts talk that I really felt the urge to share with anyone who would give time to read this post. I was never born into a Christian family, so I knew Christianity through friends in school and college. They would always eagerly prompt me to join Christian Fellowship and so I did. Then, as time goes on by, I started becoming more accustomed to going for CF meetings. Then, one of my friends invited me to her church to experience the difference of being in church and just merely being in a college club.

     That was the first time I ever visited a church and I was so scared that I might be the one that stands out like a thorn but all my anxiety was thrown away when I heard the word of God from the pastor. They say that everything comes from God and that was not the only word to blow me away. the pastor preached about perceptive and perception and I shall try to recall as much as I can to make you feel what I have experienced on that fateful day. So here goes:

Perspective
     If you look at it this way, God is everything that we are not. We cannot be proud or rich or strong. We should be the weak, the poor and the humble while God is the Almighty. He is the one from above that has the power and authority to take over our lives and transform it. Life is short and we are here to carry out the duty that He has given to us and nothing more. We should be humble in everything we do and always obey His words and orders.


Perception
     There was a story the pastor had given to us :
"There was this lady who was ill and was suffering a disease that was disfiguring her. At one point, she decided to exit her house to find Jesus. She bent while she walked and made her way towards Jesus through the overwhelming crowd. As she reached Him, she touched His robe and was cured. He then said " Who touched me ? "
      That was because He felt power surging through His body to the woman. We must make a point to stand out from the crowd just as the woman did. We must be the fire for God and fire is also known as pur (in Latin I think) meaning lightning. As we know, lightning strikes the highest point in the open ground. So even though the woman was bending down in the crowd, her hunger for jesus made her the high point among the crowd. So, we must set and example to lead a life that represents everything that is good about God.

I'm sorry if in any way this message offended you. I thought that I might just write down here what I have learned in church last week. It was an amazing day that day and I wish that you have an amazing day too. =)

Wow.

It's only been 3 or 4 months since I last blogged but blogger sure has changed. Anyway, I'm impressed. 

Alright, I can't believe it's June already, I've been in college for 6 months already! That is unbelievable, seeing as how I am still the childish me. Oh well :)   Semester exam was over, I did quite alright except for thinking skills. Probably the worst paper ever.  I just can't recall my form 1 moral result so I can't be certain whether it's the worst paper. Anyone remembers pn.santhi? rar. 

Mock will come soon, then AS. Then I'll be having that long break that I need,  even though they claim it's a study break but let's face it, I'm never disciplined enough. I do, however, hope that I could change. I just need some assistance and motivation. Ice creammm . 

I like college. There is always a possibility of class being cancelled:)  and hope that it would never be replaced :D  

Okay, I'll have to sleep now. college. Please pray for me that I'll have less homework. So that I could watch more movies and perhaps blog more. GSC will be opening in paradigm mall ;)

p.s. Happy birthday kwanshuting <3 ;)

Embarrassed

      Yesterday I was browsing through my friend's list and don't ask me why. I saw this really nice guy with a really huge smile. He looks fantastically handsome with chiselled features comparable to that of an athlete. He is a complete stranger whom I never have the courtesy of meeting and he has a tall figure. I immediately blushed when I entered into his Facebook homepage because I knew it was wrong stalking people. However, I did not stop there. I saw the website to his blog and clicked on it.

     The very first post I read is about his amazingly good smile and how he does not smile nowadays. So, I read through the post and felt like cheering him up. Even though i do not know him, I know what I can do to make a person smile. With my heart racing a hundred mile and my cheeks flushing bright pink, I commented on the post as anonymous "You have a really  good smile and smiling makes you look even more handsome."

    I felt like I could leap with joy. Today I went to check his blog again to see whether if he would reply or leave the message as it is and guess what ? He replied "Thank you :) " You will never know when you could make somebody smile. I suggest you try it because it felt rewarding for me to make somebody happy.

One of a kind:)

Hello! :) I'm blogging simply because it's 29th of February. I'd have to wait for another 4 years before I could blog on 29th of February. So yeah, ahaha. Please don't expect anything from this post :)

I have no idea what to blog about. I'm procrastinating again. I'm neglecting my homework. That is bad. I miss those days where I could ignore all my homework simply because it's not important, at least not to me.

I should be kiasu. Everyone is kiasu. I need my kiasu dosage please.

I aim high yet I always contribute minimum effort. I have no idea what is wrong with me. I dread the day when SPM results will be released. I would be really disappointed with myself. Probably regret, whine and hug my friends to feel better. Oh please let me get 10A+ ..

Anyway, that's it :) I need nap, seriously.

Rushing and rushing as time goes on and on

Today my post will be super short because I'm already slacking on my homework and I have a Chemistry test tomorrow ! I'm relatively panicking !! Wish my luck tomorrow as I do battle with one of my most beloved subjects. I've made a bet with my friend so that he will splurge his money on me if I ever did good on the test without so much as doing an exercise. I am so going to do my best just so he could buy my next meal ! Till then, much love to those who are reading this blog. I am truly grateful for you readers who still have the time to spend on reading the post published here. So happy right now, I could cry tears of joy. TuT

WHY YOU WANT TO STARE ???

Seriously, just because I am really tall does it mean you must stare ? When I look at someone passing by me, chances are that they stare at me. I look at them and try to smile, they look away as if I did something wrong. I try to search your eyes to look at you and you don't want my eyes to communicate with yours . Then you look at me as if to say I'm being unfriendly and all sorts. This is what it's like in Malaysia ( Where I am living)

These people have seen models and other tall girls in television. When they see a tall girl in real life, is it really that different ? Am I an ALIEN ! Don't stare at me if you don't want me staring back at you. And if you don't want to smile back, then that is fine. Because I don't care and I will continue smiling at other people that stare at me. I'm frustrated in a sense that in their eyes, I always look like the unfriendly type.

I know that we are raised not to talk to strangers but then have the courtesy to smile at least to someone who smiled back at you. I may appear walking alone somewhere in Sunway pyramid or what ever places, that does not mean I'm a rogue. I can be friendly when I want to and I do not even bite. Puhlezz.

Charity poster ! Comments ?

Comments please ! I just got selected to do the poster for a concert charity that my moral group is having. Its in Sunway University ;D If you guys are from Sunway or just want to come and party Come on down! I will give you the information when I have it ! Selangor state people only please ! Haha XD

Because you're worth it :)

Hello! :)

Just want to say that I'm finally used to college life. Waking up early and sleeping late, no problem (Y) Just have to work on being awake during class.. :/

I've probably done more homework in college than in well, 5 years of secondary school. Either it's because I wasn't exactly 'active' in doing homework or because I simply have too many homework now. Ironically, I'm still on facebook ;) Hee.

I look forward to weekends now, more than ever. More public holiday please :)

I miss michelle:/

Anyway, bye.

You know what !

Why can't i do both ! I can do it both art and science ! =D I will manage both of my crafts and hone these skills to match and be kind to each other. So from now on, I am going to post all my crafts and arts here. This is going to be my art site for what I'm passionate about. My art and the creative side of me. the right brainer will be coming soon with some posted artworks. For now, this might either go both ways.

I'm going to make this blog into one of my artsy fartsy site. Although this is just a resolution, I am determine to make it happen. After all, I had stop watching TV for one day. Now to just permanantly stop watching TV. That would be great X)

Quintessential College

Today was the most amazing day I ever had in college.Never have I experienced so many friends welcoming me and showing hospitality beyond measures.Even though we were from different programmes, it was simply serendipity ! When I came to college today relatively tired due to burning the midnight oil, I thought to myself this was going to be a long haul until I met this outgoing girl who introduced me to her friends from all walks of life.It was basically an explosion of friendliness that was showing before my eyes. I never seen or HEARD all the different people with their respective nationality congregate in one spot.

If I were to know about this, I would have already chose to sit in that place for a long time.Yes, it was a sweet unexpected twist of fate that I who was just an early bird trying to find a power plug to source my laptop and do my assignments, found this spontaneous ball of people whom I got to pleasure to meet after 1 MONTH ! What have I been doing in college during those times I wonder.God knows, seems to me like college is easing up on my social life. For now. Still dealing with studies though.

Being really shy did not help at all in college.I think these people really helped me to break open my shell for the first time. As in truly break open and not just chipping away the shell.I can never asked for more and these are going to be times where I had found a place to belong to.I will forever treasure these moments and share it with my grandchildren and so on.

Rest in Peace for me

Dying in Australian Matriculation. Never expected it to be so tough. Have to do assessment and this and that. Not to mention during the first day, I already had difficulty solving problems in my subject. Not to mention , on the very first day, I had to catch up with the others because I missed orientation ( to the future people, don't do this or else you might regret later in college.) and I had to re-schedule my timetable because of clashing subjects.

Its like war of the subjects when I look at it now. I have to take 5 subjects and as if 1 wasn't already hard.Now all i got to do is stay strong and head fast. I pray that I could only cope and follow whatever path may lay ahead. Now, I will have to use all the will power I got to survive until the end. typing all this out and pouring it out makes me feel like I have the strength to do it. To go forth and come what may. I feel empowered writing this and I hope this will not be the last encouragement I get. Im going TO GO OUT THERE AND DO THE SHIT >=D

First few days of college! :)

As I've mentioned earlier, I'm attending Sunway College for A-levels:) So, here I am, blogging about my first 2 days for the sake of remembering it 10 years later. Joking, I just feel like blogging. Ahaha.

Well, first day of college was - exhausting . Went to the foyer and registered around 9 am. Hunted for people that I know or might know and was so excited when I found people from SMK Taman S.E.A and my primary school friends;) . Ahaha. Then I saw more people from SMK Taman S.E.A . But most of them were in other programmes:(

Anyway, went to the multi-purpose hall for orientation. It was mostly filled with talks. Bla. Ate something from the cafeteria then wanted to go to the library with emily and crystal since MUFY students have test on their first day ahaha! Yes, they have math and english test on the first day. We ended up getting lost and decided to just hang out at the foyer.

Then I went back to the hall to register my A-level subjects. Oh! I met many nice people:) Was really lucky to get the teacher's signature real quick and went to the multimedia zone to activate my sunway account. I felt so ulu for not knowing how to on the computer. Ahaha! i'm so used to laptop that I keep pressing the button on the monitor. I completely forgot about the CPU. Luckily a nice guy helped me on it:)

Managed to end early and went to Sunway Pyramid to meet Kelly and Li Sim:) Sorry Kelly! For being late on your birthday:( Hope you had fun:D

Second day of college was better. It's exhausting as well but.. better. :) Had a tour in the library. Gosh, I love the library:') Then there were some activities organized by the ALSCO ( A-level student council). Ahaha! During the human knot thing, there were lots of sweaty hands, including mine ahaha! Then we had a campus tour by this really cheerful angmor girl from ALSCO. She was really cheerful and cute :D Ahaha!

During break, I ate something with my new friends then went to take photos for student ID. Gosh, such a long queue:( Anyway, I think my student ID would look funny since I was dozing off. Oh dear, I should not have stayed up late the night before:X Oh well:)

Oh! Then there was this musical adventure by Mr.Kingsley (an indian lecturer who teaches physics and i think he interviewed jongwey last time lol) and his team . It was really nice, like really really enjoyable. Imagine him singing a mandarin song, so cool right? :D ahaha! The performance was cool B)

I thought we were having english placement test after that but it turns out that it's for international students B) Yes, I was super happy ahaha! I thought I could go home early but anyway, had to stayed back to wait for my brother:)

That is probably all.. At least that is all I could remember. Ahaha, i'm getting old:/ Anyway, hope I could take my driving lessons soon! :D

P.S. Lots of hot guys and girls in Sunway! :D hee! and oh! my timetable is :X i'm going to be a zombie at this rate.
