New addition to life!!

Ever since 2012, when the Mazda CX5 was launched, i had always dreamt of owning and driving this car.

It has been so very often that i imagined myself behind the wheels, making my way to office, enjoying the cruise to work (despite it always being jammed up).

Finally, i can proudly say that i own it now.

Its a dream fulfilled and i can tick one of my 'life's achievement' off my list.

Here's a snap of my new hubby, 'BruBru'

Yup, i picked blue because i couldn't see myself driving the a tame color like white, silver or gray.

Nevertheless, i still love my 'ex hubby', my Myvi "Goldie" really much. I still take him out for rides.

Happy CNY~!
well, i know it's kinda late wishing this considering it's already the 10th day into it.
BUT NEVERTHELESS, happy CNY?

For me, CNY 2014....so far has been one of the WORST CNY ever.
So many arguements and displeasure surfaced one after another.
Why? because my parents love to pick petty fights. Those small problems, small mistakes, small everything could be blown out of proportion.
(when i say OUT OF PROPORTION, i literally mean into 'OMFG THE WORLD IS GOING TO END BECAUSE YOU SPILL A DROP OF SOUP ON THE FLOOR' out of proportion.)

I'm pretty glad i haven't taken a single day off for this year's CNY. I hate....(yes, you read right 'HATE') staying at home. I just don't want to listen to my mom nag, my dad shout, my brother's incompetency with helping out at home (in which, resulted into me doing EVERYTHING).
So where do i escape to?........... Office and Gym.

At least i feel more at peace in office and gym. I have understanding close sisterly like colleagues in office, and when i'm in gym, i can listen to my music, sweat it out, all in my own world.
(oh, don't bother contacting me when i'm gym too...i usually have my phone switched to 'airplane mode' when i'm in gym.....)

SO, BACK to nagging and blowing things out of proportions....
YEAh, today, we received news that one of our relatives passed away. My parents weren't at home when i woke up, so naturally i'll ask my grandaunt ' where's mom?'
So she in turn replied me that they went out in the morning after receiving news that my aunt has passed on.

When my parents got home, mom said to dad to tell me what happened.
I made a small mistake by saying 'oh, i already knew'.
mom suddenly went all ballistic and 'OMG HOW YOU KNOW DID YOU SPY ON US YOU TWAT!?!?!'
then i told them my grandaunt notified me of this.... and she suddenly lost it.
She went to my grandaunt and questioned her as to why she told me that my aunt has passed on.
LIKE WTF?! It's just a small matter, you were gonna tell me anyways, why is it such a big deal who told me !?!??!

then my mom went on about how grandaunt can't keep secrets and balblabla....and how she caught her red handed on spilling the beans......
i'm like..WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!?
IT'S NOT AS IF THE WORLD WOULD END!?
SO SHE TOLD ME ABOUT IT....SO YOU WERENT THE ONE WHO BROKE THE NEWS TO ME....SO WHAT?!?!?!
Don't tell me if it were you telling me about the news, my aunt would revive and come back from the dead... NO RIGHT?!
no damage has been done! so why are you being a bitch about that?!

sometimes i can't understand what my parents are thinking.

Another thing is about the fixed deposit.
The other day, i depositted some money into an FD account. I mean, i'm doing this so that we'll get more returns than sitting there waiting for that measly interest rate of a savings account.
At least i'll get RM50 everymonth rather than a few cents every year.
Called my parents twice to tell them i want to do this ASAP because Feb is a short month, so we can get the interest payout faster.
No answer from them when i called, so i just went ahead and do it.

WHOA, later they all went all 'OMFG WHY DIDNT YOU NOTIFY US I THOUGHT I WAS A SCAM OUR MONEY IS ALL GONE '
yup, blowing things out of proportions again.
I told them to calm down and i deposited it into an FD account. At least it beats having the money sitting there doing nothing.
It was all for goodwill but NOOOOOooo..... they all went WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO ALL THIS WITHOUT INFORMING US WHY WHY WHY WHY......!?!?!?!?!?
(shouting over the phone and all)

I know a lot of you guys will say 'cherish your parents when they are around to nag you'...
really, i do love my parents, but lately they like to blow small petty things out of proportions...i can't seem to understand them anymore......
I know i'm practicing cowardice by running away (staying back in office, going to gym, SOMETIMES even spending an entire day in some coffeeshop just so i don't have to go home)
but i just can't take it anymore!

and now, my dad is pressuring me into changing my car..... And not just any car...
he wants me to change from a MyVi to a Mazda CX5.
dad, i'm not earning 5 figures a month.
And also, if you'd stop being such a spendthrift, i would be able to save up more.

2014, definitely didn't start out well for me.....

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I remember i used to be so close to one of them. We practically grew up together. We used to spend weekends together, building fake houses made of manila card and make believe that we were millionaires (we have our own jets and limousine)

Then we became bestest buddies in school, and college.
We did a lot of crazy stuffs, it was as if she was my twin sister.
A lot of people even thought she was me, and i was her.
In short, we were the bestest best buddies in the world.

Soon, we went our separate ways. (i went to a different university for my degree and she, hers)
With friends influence in her university, somehow we drifted further and further apart.
We even argued because she was forcing some of her religious views down my throat.
(i'm not a very religious person, but i do believe in the big guys up there)

So with that, the arguement was never solved and we just let things be.
Slowly, but surely, we started to have less things to talk about.
She rarely comments on my fb anymore, and i rarely see her post anymore. (maybe she listed me under 'acquaintance'...well, i don't know)

I have no idea how this happened, but time eventually ate up all that we had together.
Ok, up till here... you might think 'yo gurl stop looking into the past. Leave that gurl and carry on!'

yeah well...it didn't really made much difference in my life. I've met crazier friends, did even more extreme stuffs and had friends that became so close, we could talk about basically ANYTHING!


it's just that, i feel it's a very sad thing to lose a friend of more than 10 years. Just like that!
Now, i don't even know where she is, i don't even know if she is married, i don't even know what she likes, heck~ i don't even know how she looks like now!

There were a few times a group of friends had a road trip, but sadly enough...yours truly wasn't invited.
I used to remember last time when we had any trips/outings...it's usually me the one planning and inviting everyone.
But now when they planned, they conveniently left me out.

Ya, well....it doesn't bother me much, but when i first found out, i was hurt. I was hurt so bad i even wondered what i did wrong.
Yeah, they were a couple of times i said i was busy/i couldn't make it for a particular outing (due to work...i was the first to start work among them) but that doesn't mean they could just shut me out like that.

I eventually got tired and numb on what they were doing.
I don't even go to some of their weddings anymore (OH~ CONVENIENTLY, THEY REMEMBER YOU WHEN IT'S THEIR WEDDINGS)
I don't even join them for CNY open house visitings anymore.

i just feel that, well, If they don't value my presence, why should i bother?
MY REAL FRIENDS, MY REAL SISTERS are the ones that value my presence.
MY REAL FRIENDS would go 'WE HAVE TO INVITE hito for his, we have to invite susien for this, WHERE IS SUSU?!'

So yeah i guess that's what they say.
Live and let live.
You lose this part, but you gain an even better one.
Friends come and go.
True friends stay with you.

I love my buddies~

FINALLY~~~!!!

AFTER A GOOD 1 YEAR!!!!!!!
...........
.....
...
.
..
i finally fell sick....like really nose-block-sorethroat-migraine-i-thought-i-am-gonna-die SICK!

And it's not a very good thing. It's so close to CF and i'd rather go to an event not having to sneeze every 2 seconds.
It's kinda annoying having to wipe your nose, and sniffle all over (especially when you have make up on your face...sneezing and wiping your nose...that's not a very good combination with make ups)
It gets in the way of contact lenses too.
i don't wear contact lenses on a daily basis...nor do i wear specs at all..
so sneezing all the time make me tear up easily, and it irritates my eye a lot!

i really hope that i'll get better by thursday latest.
i don't mind falling sick at the end of the event (which is on a sunday).....lol, that way i could apply for MC on the monday...........LOL...

GAh, anyway, CF in a week....
i was supposed to touch up on whatever i can today, but......i went to a friend's hse for a small birthday celebration, and ended up watching Hannibal till 11pm.
so .......yeah....

it's HOBBIT with the Sherlockians tomorrow....
SMAUG~~~~~~~~~~~~ <3 br="">
(and i hate those people who spoil the show....i received to many spoiler tags on FB/messages/watsapp...on purpose...those kind of scumbag friends.....useless perps...)

Travels, Trips and YOLO~

It's been a while since i last wrote anything here.

I finally figured out why.
My office machined couldn't support the latest javascript. The old junk's OS system is waaaaaaaaay too old to do anything anymore!
(and my boss, wants to wait till next year because of the department budget thingy...=_=)

I can always update my blog at home, but the thing is, when i reach home, i see my bed....and that's it!
i'm too lazy to write anything anymore!

LOL...anyway~~~
i think i've gotta start writing again. My english is slowly going down the drain and deteriorating!

I'm not gonna ramble on my cosplaying experience over the year. You can see that in my DeviantArt journal (if anyone is even interested in it....)

One of the best things that have happened in 2013 so far is my Japan trip~!
It was an awesome experience and yes, i've already planned and booked my flight for next year's Japan trip.
Next year's trip is with my BRO~!
finally i have a trip with my brother~~~!! it's been a while since we wanted to go anywhere, and EVERYTIME we planned a trip, SOMETHING is bound to pop up!
so this time, we just went on a YOLO booking spree..

funny thing was, the trip was not planned for AT ALL...
i just happen to remember that AirAsia had a 'free seat' promotion going on, and i just tried clicking into the website.
Turns out  i managed to get RM759 all inclusive (luggage, meals, everything!) return flight!
I turned and asked my bro whether he wants to go on a YOLO trip with me next year...
he went..OK..YOLO..ONZ!

the next thing that happened, the booking itinerary has been printed out.
so i'm so looking forward to next year's trip.
April is Taiwan, MAAAAYYBBEE September is Melbourne (parents wanted it) and December JAPAN~~~!!

oh, parents still have no idea me and my bro booked the flight..LOL..
my bro is trying to trick my parents into winter clothing shopping with him. (coz he does not have a single coat! the ones i have are either girlish, or too small for him.... my dad's one is too AH PEK for him...LOL)
The method he tried to trick is rather funny..
There was one occasion whereby it was raining outside, and the house inside had air conditioning on turbo.
he went 'IT IS SO COLD..WE NEED TO GO BUY WINTER COATS!'

i was laughing non stop at that statement. LOL..

Yay for travelling, NAY for money...... T^T
well, you've gotta travel when you're young...no?

Listening to : Howie D feat Shirota Yuu - If I Say
Mood : Meh~~~

Depressed, but i can't seem to pin point on what issue...

I've been feeling this for almost a month now.
I haven't been telling anyone about this matter. When i hang out with friends /family / colleagues....i can laugh and joke about.

but when i sit in the car and drive alone....i think of stuffs. Recent choices that i've made. Recent worries that surface....
I can't help but to feel helpless in situations like these.

for example, today was an outing with my group of very close friends, but somehow, i haven't been talking or responding much to the conversation as i always had.
I always feel that maybe i should just sit put and shut up. I try not to speak that much, and only listen.
There are lots of things that floats about in my mind, even now.

My relationship with my fellow not-so-close colleagues are getting worse, and my temper isn't getting any better.
When i reach home, i try to dash straight into my room, and keep myself couped up.
I don't watch anime, tv series or read manga or even cosplay that much anymore.

Everyday i worry about stuffs, but i can't seem to pinpoint on what.

Is this a phase everyone has to go through?
The 'maybe i should've done this', or 'maybe i shouldn't be doing that'...
I'm hitting the 30s in a couple of years, so is this like...a mid-life crisis?

ALLADIN RUN 2013 ~~ AGAIN!

While everyone was sleeping, OR not asleep yet this morning (1st June), i woke up at 4am, to prepare for my annual Run, the ALLADDIN RUN, organised by DKSH.
(i have no idea if the name now is pronounced as ALADDIN, or ALL-ADD-IN....lol, a few of my friends were debating on the name after i posted up the running tee. but oh well....XD)

I gone on a hiatus on running mainly because my running partner shifted and transferred back to Johor Bahru.  Till now i've not found any running partner. Also, maybe age is catching up (LOL!) because i despise morning runs. I can never get enough sleep (even if i went to bed at 8pm the night before). i mean, come on~~~ waking up 4am on a weekend!? that's blasphemy~~~!!!!!

AHEM, but anyway...today's run was a different one. With only 601 participants, i could see a very clear and huge chance of winning top 3 in the run. I'd imagine that if i run consistently at my pace and finish 5km in less than 30 mins should suffice. It's enough, but not merely enough to beat the winner for the Female Open.

By the way.... I came in 2nd ^_^

I clocked in at 28mins (official time) for the 5km run, but the winner clocked in at 23 mins. I was neck-in-neck with this lady at one point of the run. We overtook each other a couple of times, but halfway through the run, i had abdominal pains again....which resulted me in slowing down and she pulling further away.

When she was approximately 25 meters or so in front of me, i knew it was too huge a gap to catch up. Unless she tripped and fell, or i started sprinting like a mad Olympic runner, i knew i wouldn't be able to catch up anymore.

Thus, i remained consistent at my current pace, and finally finished 2nd in my category.

Although i lost to the winner, i'm relatively happy because the time i clocked in beat my previous year's record (which was, 32mins for 5km). It was a significant improvement IMHO.

ALSO, what i was really delighted about was that i also beat the previous year's winner's runner and record. That girl came in 3rd, approximately 1min and a half behind me.

At least i manage to retrieve some consolation from waking up so damn early on a Saturday (which was, by the way a public holiday because it was the Agong's Birthday)

Got myself an extra pocket money of RM200~!!
(it's either going into my funds to get an iPad Mini, or my Japan trip funds)
i remember last year my winnings (which was also RM200) went to my Comic Fiesta costume funds. I was saying whether or not i cosplay, depends on whether or not i won any 'sponsorship' from the run. LOL

So yeah, here's what i got in my goodiebag this year~~!!

Quite a lot of stuffs. But originally i didn't get this bag. It was a funny thing. The MOST IMPORTANT goodie to me was the Famous Amos cookie. And the first bag i got HAD NO COOKIE IN IT!!

i immediately went to the officials (in charge of goodie bag) and said to her..

' THERE'S NO COOKIE IN THIS BAG!! THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE GOODIE BAG!!! CAN I CHANGE?!!??!?!?'

Obviously she let me change my goodie bag, else i would've thrown some kiddie tantrum..lol! COOKIES ARE IMPORTANT OKAY?!?!?!

So yeah, here's how i look after my 5km run.

Super RED~~~!! can feel all the blood gushing towards my head. LOL!!

and, MiLO, my baby, decided to snag the tag from me...

Beaming with pride

I'm not too sure whether i wana join this again next year. If i don't have any friends/colleagues joining i might not want to anymore. But we'll see.....who knows, i might need the money? XD

Also, my HR manager was there and before the run, he said 'IF YOU DONT GET TOP 3, DONT COME TO OFFICE ON MONDAY'.....i assumed it was a FREE LEAVE for me....so, Jymmy, do i still get my FREE LEAVE? i ended up top 3.....

But anyway, i'm here....
There are a few backlogs that i will update in the future.
(stuffs like photoshoots, and my obsession to the more-human-like world...*coughsbenedictcumberbatch*)

ANYWAY~~
today's entry is just another normal post.
Oh, i received flowers in office today. (nope, not sent by any secret admirer...don't think i have any..T^T)
They were 6 lovely Sunflowers sent by my closest colleagues (i could actually call them sisters already...we basically spend our holidays together..heck, even helped them shift stuffs to their new house)
Thanks Giao Giao and Gaisi....i really felt so much better after the cheering up....
Loving the flowers~~~ <3 br="">

It's now on my table, giving me the sunshine i need everyday~

THEN, my journey to the gym was cut short by the disastrous traffic jam. Took me almost 2 hours to reach home. Usually only took me 20 minutes to reach home/gym. Apparently there was a crane that fell on a vehicle somewhere near a construction site. While i'm really sorry for the person who was involved, i'm kinda pissed off by those busybodies that stop and look.
Traffic Jams in Malaysia are usually caused by busybodies like those...not the actual accident victims.
Bunch of losers....

As i reached home, i thought..okay, maybe i'll just watch a couple of Criminal Minds episode and call it a day.
But, the worst news came in.
Received a phone call from my sister-in-law...and she told my mom that....well......let's just say, i am almost, but not just yet. (i know it doesn't make any sense...but meh....don't think i wanna say much anymore.)

Stress from work isn't helping out much either. All that is keeping me going is my Japan Trip in November.
Maybe this is a difficult time for my family, i just wish the powers that be could give us all the strength to pull through.
I may look all cheerful outside (i try to, i need to...my family doensn't need another moody-looking person to dampen the day..not when my bro is all bad mood almost all the time after he started working)

The only place i can rant is well..this blog of mine.
But don't worry, i'm not about to break down. I know i have family, friends and people who care for me. So i'm going to pull through, fight through and be cheerful ol' me again.....
I just need time. (seriously, now...i'm taking Orphenadol...i have no idea what that is, but that's what the doctor prescribed me)

Last day of 2012

And so we reached the end of 2012. So much for the Mayan Apocalypse eh? XD
2012 was a fun filled year for me. There were ups and downs, but nevertheless a truly wonderful year.

I've had my tooth extracted, went to soooooooooo many places (in fact, this year was the year i travelled the most! - Started off with Hong Kong, then Vietnam, then Kukup and finally Taiwan)
Next year it'll be Bali and JAPAN~~~~

so, Comic Fiesta 2012....(obviously this would pop up)
i really did enjoy it really much. With bless4 gracing our event (and what i heard from most people, they are a bunch of humble kids) and having a concert for us. Truly one of the best CF events ever.

I didn't really enjoyed cosplaying as much this year... mainly because i hurt my arm the morning of the day 02 event. (had a nasty fall in the toilet, bumped my head and 'acquired' a deep cut on my elbow) I couldn't move much and i felt crippled during the event. It's not helping much that i went and crippled my dominant arm.

But, in any case.....
Day 01

Prince Diamond of Sailormoon R

This was the dude that i cosplayed on day 01. Not many people recognise the Black Moon Clan though. I guess it's too obscure? lol....but i enjoyed pretty much cosplaying him. Especially with my team.

Me, Tsubasafan, Michiru and Riko

During the event, we split up to get our secret santa gifts. Reason why we had it during CF was because we thought it'd be great that everyone got something from our ACG fandom. 

We originally wanted to have our secret santa on the first day, but hui ching had a nightshift the day earlier, so she practically slept through the event. LOL....

and then later the night, Tsu and Riko left, leaving me, relyss and michiru to enjoy the concert.

high 5 session with the bless4 members!

EVERYONE went up on stage and high 5-ed with them. They were so humble and down to earth people. Truly one of the highlights of the event. I was thankful that i stayed back and listen to their concert. When they sang Genesis of Aquarion for encore, i couldn't contain my happiness.
THANK YOU FOR GRACING US WITH YOUR PRESENCE ~~!!!

Day 02

Sebastian Michaelis of Kuroshitsuji

I was in pain the entire day because of the fall. I almost couldn't make it for the event. But thank god Relyss and Michiru was with me. Thank you so much~~~!!!

That aside, i'm really glad i went. I finally cosplayed one of my dream characters. I feel i could retire now with no regrets. (3 characters that i really wanted to pull off before i hang up my hobby - Sanzo, Yue and Sebastian)
not that i'm retiring anytime soon, but will most probably NOT suggest anymore new teams to cosplay. I'll probably be riding on people's plan starting from now. and a bunch of recycled costumes. LOL

Then, come the night of secret santa exchange..!
I dunno about the rest, but for me, i feel it's great that we all exchanged gifts of our fandom so that we can all gush about it when we receive it. My secret santa, i still don't know who was it, gave me this awesome supercute Nyanko Mug.

My reaction when i received it........i totally couldn't explain. I was screaming like a mad person. Up to the point Relyss had to say ' CALM DOWN. HOLD YOUR EMOTIONS!'

Yes, it shows how much i love the gift. It's now in my glass cabinet casing. Only to be used for special drinks (coffeee la.what else...haha)

but, THANKS AGAIN MY SECRET SANTA~~~!!! <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

Also, my loot during CF...i spent almost RM300 on the stuffs there. Mainly because i bought 4 'Betrayal Knows My Name manga'

Also, thank you so much MICHIRU for the kuroko calendar. And LETS SAMA SAMA PAKAI NYANKO when we are on our flight to JAPAN~~~!!! <3 p="p">

That's that for Comic Fiesta.....

Cosplay Ball was another fun event i attended this year. 

To me, the cosplay ball is more of catching up with old CF members.

I was surprised people remember me. Shaun was sitting the same table as me, and when he saw me, he went ' hitokiri sien!?!? THE hitokiri sien!??'....i was like..yeah..haha...

then he went on about how we knew each other back during when i was a college student and stuffs..It was cool catching up with Shaun. (FYI : he was known as Hisashi Glay back then. which is why i never really added him on FB....couldn't find him..hahaha)

Then Chibineko and Swing (OMG YOU CUTE CUTE LOVEY DOVEY PAIR~~~!!) came and sit with us and started chatting away. I didn't know that many people in the ball, but surprisingly, all of us could just conjure up a conversation.

Then Dei came over and we had a long chat. It's awesome that he is releasing a movie in Aussie soon. It's really just.....nice and warm to have all the old friends sit together and chitchat.

And lol, once again with the coscard. Shusuke was going all 'YOU HAVE COSCARD? DUN LIE~~~~~ I KNOW YOU HAVE~~~'..

i was like..errrr..i really dun have. i have my business card though. LOL

Shusuke was the uber GENKI uke....like omg..i could see myself 5 years back in her...hahaha....

and my secret santa gift from the ball??

DORAEMON~~~~!!!!!
so uber cute..~~!!! XD XD
so yeah....2012 was a blast.

i'm going out in for my NYE countdown with my fellow colleagues in a bit, so i guess i'd better say it now..

HAVE A HAPPY EXPLODING 2013 YEAR~~~!!!!

Listening to : Camus & Ren - Baby! My Strawberry!

who said it doesn't hurt?!?!!?

After months and months of procrastination, i finally swallowed my guts and went to the dentist.
Of course, i still went with my dad. haha...

I keep hearing from people
'oh, it doenst hurt'.....'it's ok, just an ant bite'...

well, it's either your ant is a puny sized ant, or you pain receptors are all dead, coz i can ensure you..

IT HURTS A WHOLE DAMN LOT!!!!!

okay, back to how i got myself into this shit..

At the age of 4, being the mischeivious kid that i was, i was running up and down the stairs...
of course, a kid's balance isn't THAT well, so i slipped, fell, and bumped my tooth on the side of the stairs.

That particular tooth chipped off, and it never bothered me eversince.

AFTER 20 years, it's like....oh, why not i give the owner some pain...
*initiates pain button*

so yeah, it started giving me slight problems...and started to turn black....
THEN, it chipped off even further......leaving only the root and exposed nerves.

I had no choice but to extract it as the first dentist i went to said that there were no other choices except to extract it.
That time, i had wanted to extract the tooth, but then the dentist advised that it's better to only do 1 thing at the time (i did fillings and washed my teeth that time)

omg, good thing i listened to her, otherwise i wouldn't have any sides of the mouth to eat at all..!

AND SO, now ......it's lunch time...my tummy is grumbling, but my tooth hurts. (post extraction syndrome)...

i dun dare to put anything into my mouth..heck , i dun even dare to drink water...

HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW?!?!?!!?

this is how my misearable face looks like after extraction......

Workout and Motivation

Workout and Motivation

How often do you workout?
- Almost everyday (except 'that' particular time of the month)

How long do you workout?
- hmm..depends....if i have a run or marathon coming up, i would run more in the gym. Most probably 1 hour or so to build stamina.
- Also, if there's a cosplay event or photoshoot, will most probably put in an extra 30 mins.

Where do you workout?
- Usually i'll hit Fitness First after work during the weekdays. (except wednesday, that's the time i play badminton with my colleagues)

What do you do when you workout? (run, cycle, resistance, etc)
- I run most of the time. Occasionally i row the boat (there's this boat rowing machine in the gym) and i cycle (my very own RPM with my anime songs.... :D)

What is your motivation?
- Cosplay.......that's the one and sole purpose i'm putting in so much during gym. Works wonders!

What is the hardest part of working out?
- hmmm....getting started? the first 3 minutes into the run, you'll feel like....meh, can i stop now? Maybe coz the muscles are just being lazy? but then when i hit the 6th or 7th minute, i start to hasten up my pace......sometimes completing 10km in a run without even knowing it...haha...

Are you the talkative type?
- errr....not exactly. I usually shun myself out of the environment during my workout period. 2 earphones stuffed into my ears. That's all i can hear. Which is why, i prefer to hit the gym alone. I do go with friends, but then they know my routine. ^^

Any favourite quote for working out?
- Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what gets you going. You've gotta turn working out into a habit. Just having motivation is not enough.

Well, i guess that's that for my workout Q and A.
I saw this from myfitnesspal, and thought it's a good way to make myself realize certain goals when i workout.
Hope this helps you guys out there....XD

Be proud of your every being....

Had a nice long chat with See Wah today about what we've been through all these years to get till how we are today..

Since i've changed my working timeslot to 8.30am, i decided to ask See Wah out for a yum cha session at around 6pm @ Upstairs Cafe.
Yeah, i get off work at 5.30pm now, and i realize with that 30 minutes of difference, i manage to do A WHOLE LOTTA STUFFS.....
(saved a lot of time from being stuck in a jam)

ANYWAY~
we basically talked nonsense, ranting on people and lol..a lot of reminiscing.
It's amazing that 2 person, who have nothing in common back in school and college, ended up sharing the same smiles and laughter because of one common thing.....Cosplay.

I've always remembered See Wah as 'The Girl Who Sat In Front'...or 'The Girl Who Is So Ever Studious'....
Now that i think back, yeah...she was really the studious type.
and she has always known me as 'The Girl Who Makes Lots Of Noise' or 'The Girl Who Always Dissapears After Rehat Time' (yeah, coz i was part of the olahraga team..training starts after rehat LOL)

So yeah, there were a lot of laughters....there was this one particular incident regarding our Sejarah teacher.
I was called to answer something written on the board. The thing was, i was sitting at the back end of the class, and the sentence that was written on the board was SOOOOOOOOOO TINY that even she had trouble reading it even sitting in front.

But i managed to read the thing and gave a correct answer for that question.
she then said everyone clapped because i managed to read that tiny writting..
What puzzled me wasn't my eyesight......it was....
WTF I MANAGED TO ANSWER A QUESTION THROWN AT ME?!?!?!?!? HALLELUYAH~~!!!!!! *throws confetti* what acheivement i have made..!!!!!!

Then, on the way driving back, i began to think back on my schooling days.
i was never the studious type, books weren't my ally (except Comics and Manga - used to smuggle them to class to read..LOL!)
I was the average student in class with some Cs and Ds and occasionally Fs..LOL!!
BUT HECK, i don't care...because i'm proud of what i've become now.

It's the time in life that couldn't be retrieved back no matter what you do. I enjoyed my schooling days, my college days. Skipping classes was a norm to me, it's the little rebelliousness that makes everything enjoyable in college, no?

It's not all about the As and A1s or all that that matters to me.
I'm a designer now, and i'm proud of it.
I am what i am now BECAUSE i was what i was last time.
It's the road that i've travelled last time that lead me to who i am now.

I was a fat girl...like DAMN FREAKING FAT girl last time. I still remembered when i went to Sunway Lagoon, on that slide, the float had difficulties moving forward, and the staff there mentioned

'Ah Moi, you terlalu berat la!'.....(translation : Girl, You are too heavy!)

yeah, that hurt my feelings a lot. To a thin person, maybe that is just a plain sentence with no malice...but to me that time, it hurt me....a lot...like thousands and thousands of needles piercing through me, and the ashamed look i have when he mentioned that. But, of course, i laughed it off and took it as a joke. But in actual, it was painful.
Then there were those that laughed at me when i ran slow, when i clumsily fell down during PE classes and what nots.
Yeah well...look at me now..

I'm a designer, I'm a cosplayer, I'm a runner, I play badminton and I am a frequent gym go-er.

* Below sentences are directed to those that have laughed at this fat girl, or labelled me weird *
Tell me now, how many of you manage to run 12.3km without stopping and finishing that distance in a little bit more than 1 hour?
How many of you have the guts to wear unique and special looking outfits (back then, Cosplay was deemed as WEIRD PEOPLE WEARING FUNNY LOOKING COSTUMES aka CRAZY PEOPLE)
How many of you know how to play badminton, and have the stamina to play 2 hours straight?
How many of you go to gym and spend at least 2 hours there?

Most people often thought that
'Oh, that fat girl...she can't do nuts. She can't run more than 30mins straight.'
'Oh that fat girl, nah...she looks like a walking burger'
'Oh, that fat girl...well, she'll forever stay like that'
'Oi you so fat, move aside!'

Well, all i can say is..Thank you very much.
I can't do nuts? well...Watch Me.

I've done more things in life than you have ever done. I may not be the smartest in class, I may not have straight A's, I may not know that many scientific terms like others..but all those aren't important.
A's are just alphabets on papers. Smart or not, depends on how to look at it.
I'm happy being me, with family who cares for me, with friends who laughs with me, with colleagues who share with me.

This fat girl has lived her life happy and there will be more happy days for her to come.
Tell me now, how did you live your life so far?

Loser...in a good way

It's never easy to drag yourself to gym everyday. Heck, it's never easy to say no to food, sweets, snacks and the like.

Imagine eating only oats...well, been there, done that.

People kept asking me things like
" Why do you slave yourself at gym everyday after work" or " why pay so much just to torture yourself"....

Er, my good friend, it's a lifestyle...yeah well getting into the drill is difficult..no doubts there...but it's the motivation that gets u started... The rest it's up to determination and habit.

So I may be a loser here, but I m losing those shackles that would cause me an early death. Had I not changed my lifestyle, I would've weighed more than a whopping 100kg now.

So all I wanna say is...it's never too late to change yourself..the first step is always the hardest..but get into momentum, and you'll come to realize that there's so much you could achieve in life. NEVER IN MY LIFE...had I imagine that I could complete a 12.3km run in less than 2 hours...but I did it....break the boundaries...if an oversized girl like me could do it...anyone can!

Ps : and my source of motivation?? COSPLAY.....:)

Bonus or not, i don't care....SPENDING LIKE A BOSS~~!!

Well, for the past week, i've been a bimbo....i was so broke, i think the theif, hacker or whatever would be so dissapointed, in fact, i think the thief would be richer than me..

i only have RM20 left in my bank account....and all of us (me and my colleagues) were all hoping that we'd be graced upon with the arrival of our Bonuses.....
we were told that we'll be getting it on the 15th..........or so we thought...

So we all basically stalked our bank accounts......and to our dissapointment (or rather MY dissapointment), i am still left with RM20.....

And then OFF i went to Pyramid.....
at first i was going all 'OH, NICE CLOTHES BUT I HAVE NO MUNNEEH~~~~'
'OH, IF I HAD MY BONUS I WOULD'VE BOUGHT THAT, I WOULD'VE THIS and THAT'....

then after that, i went....HECK CARES!!! i still have my credit card...
thus, i ended up with a pair of shoes, and a biker leather jacket from Forever 21....
IT WAS A STEAL!!!! i saw those jacket in Topshop, Esprit and the likes, and it was RM300+++
(WTF !?!?!)
but here, i saw...the last one, and it was my size.........for RM129....*grins*
it's like, it's meant for me..!!!!!
so yeah....when i went to the cashier, i just randomly asked ' Do you have....like, student's discount or sumthing like that'....that cashier said yes and i went OMG *grabs student card out*

WOHOOoo...at the end of the day, it costed me only RM116....BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
for those shoes, it was a perfect fit, comfortable and it had slight heels...PERFECT.....(for my CF2012 cosplay)

besides that, i could use it for work..LOL!!!


SO YEAH...TAKE THAT!! EVEN IF I HAD NO BONUS, I COULD STILL SPEND MONEY..!! BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!! *shudders at the thought of next month's Credit Card bills...but..OH WELL....XD XD*

Friday the 13th

I feel whatever that happened today earned it's place in this blog of mine. From broken windscreen to missing earrings to eating rotten food, twas a day to remember.

First of all, what started my day was...my broken windscreen.
Was driving along NKVE heading towards Damansara when suddenly I heard a loud 'pop', and the next thing i know, my left arm was covered with shattered glasses.

(click on pic for wider image)

So started my bad luck streak.

Reached office, met a nooB and sorry excuse for a driver...she parks her car ON the line...I suppose she must've thought that her car was an airplane.

Then, halfway through the day, my earring stud went missing. Couldn't find them anymore...it was as if it fell into a dimensional porthole or something...

FINALLY, I think I must've eaten an expired bun pastry, which resulted in a rather bad tummyache.

So after the day is over, I bled a hefty RM400 to replace my windscreen. But the day became brighter with awesome company...they were there for me when I needed them, they assisted and gave me strength. Thank you so much for everything today. Grace, Jeslyn, Jillian....thank you, and thank you again my dear jie jie's...!!!

Tattoo Type 2...FINALIZED~!!

After so many surveys, researches, drawing and referencing....finally, i got my tattoo type 2 design.!!!

well, not much of a self design...basically i plucked this off Fate Prototype.
The moment i saw the 7 masters' symbol, i was hooked.
And coincidentally i was searching for designs with Wings...but not too much of a fantasy element.
I actually tried mixing a few winged designs initially, but then none of them worked out...(more like, all looked mutated..LOL!!)

then when i saw Fate Prototype, i went HOMG NICEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! the placement of all the wings are FANTASTIC!!! i wanted to put ODD numbered wings above my ankle, but NEVER got the design right.

In case any of you are wondering how does it look like...here's the image of it.


I'm not TOO familiar with Fate Prototype...because mainly it's a prototype idea of how Fate/Stay night should be, UNTIL they scrapped the whole thing and turned Saber's character from a male into female....(AWWWWW SHUCKS!!! Sakurai Takahiro as Saber is totally DROOLABLE..!!! His EXCALIBUR beats female Saber hands down!)

This design is from the 5th Master's symbol....not entirely sure who the servant is, but then the master had this tattoo on her left cheek. I figured instead of my cheek (my dad would disown me if i had a tattoo on my face..=_=), i would put it on my left leg.

So..er..yeah..now imma finding people to go with me to the tattoo parlour..LOL!!

My life so far~~~

i see everywhere on my FB...countdowns countdowns and countdowns..

OMAIGOD why do you guys love to countdown so much???
all my CF props and costumes are not entirely done yet, and with that said...i dont even dare to tell people who i am cosplaying...LOL..

it's my principle...if i don't have it ready to go, meaning i'm not ready to go..LOL..get it?
haha.....unless i have everything ready..(wigs, boots, costume...parts, and props) i wouldn't claim i m going to appear as so-and-so....

i'm no seamstress in this area, so i practically suck in sewing...
i'm having a hardtime figuring out how to 'pencilize' my pants...
lol..you know those pencil pants?? those that looks like a carrot cutting?
i need to shrink the bottom part of the pants..and that alone made me @_@;;;;

and my mom has been bugging me to edit the photos from my bro's wedding..
GOSH....it's like a mad year end rush!!!!

But, on a sidenote, I FINALLY CLEARED MY CREDIT CARD BILLS!!!
OH MAI GOD...after an excruitiating 4 years with 4 digit debts, i finally cleared it off..!!
so heed my advice young ones....it's fine getting a credit card, but YOU HAVE TO MONITOR WHAT YOU SPEND IT ON!!! if possible...use CASH...the 'Ka Ching' is always better than a CREDIT-LOAN-SHARK that's hidden in your purse....LOL

I will most probably update this blog with more cosplay tutorials in the future..there are a few on hand, but i haven't really compiled the photos yet..LOL!!

till then..~~~XD
CHEERS~~~~
