He’s Not Like All Them Other Boys

Three days after filming these videos, they are FINALLY up! :D

Enjoy watching these you guys! I hope you like them! If you have anything to say, nice or not so nice, any complaints, whatever, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post or on the videos itself. This is just my second time doing these videos so I’d love some tips on how to make them better. :)

Oh btw, I’m sorry about the lighting. I know it’s not very good, but I’m filming with my webcam which should also explain why the videos lag a bit sometimes.

I promise to try and fix all these problems in my next video!

In the meantime, I hope you see something you like and buy something nice for yourself! :)

Love Is All Around Me

Hello everyone! I have no internet at home right now because my modem was struck by lightning. :( So I won’t be able to blog until my internet is fixed, which I hope will be by tomorrow. Lol.

If you’re wondering how I’m blogging right now, I’m blogging from school. :p My Chemistry class is starting in, 2 minutes!

In the meantime, until my internet at home is fixed, you can check my Twitter. IF I’m not too lazy, I will be Tweeting from my phone. Emphasis on IF I’M NOT TOO LAZY. I haven’t been Tweeting much because I’ve been too lazy to Tweet from my phone. Lol.

Okay, gotta run ya’llz! Chemistry class! :)

In The Heart Of The Night

I don’t know about you, but I am so happy that my blogging has become a little more regular. I love holidays! :D

But I am giving everyone a heads up, once classes start again, my blogging is probably going to back to being sporadic and inconsistent. :(

Don’t you just love the word “sporadic”? It sounds like such a smart person word! Sporadic. Spoooooraaaaadic. If you drag it out, it actually sounds kinda kinky too. Wow, how sexy. It’s a smart AND kinky word. I can totally see a sexy librarian using this word to seduce a man.

I think I’m going to try it.

Unfortunately, right now, I can’t think of an equally sexy phrase to accompany the word. Coz if I just keep saying “sporadic, sporadic, sporadic”, the guy is probably going to think I’m crazy, not sexy.

Okay, right, back to the point of this post! I am so easily distracted, goodness!

Okay! For those of you who know my brother, you’d know that he’s a pretty funny guy. Maybe not all of you think so though coz his sense of humour is quite eclectic. I blame it on the hours and hours of The Simpsons and weird Youtube videos that he watches.

Fortunately, the both of us have the same sense of humour and Bryan often has me in hysterics.

The other day, we were in Sunway Pyramid and Bryan sees two Perodua Kenari’s parked next to each other and his whole face immediately lights up and he goes “I HAVE AN IDEA!”

His idea?

He wrote the word “FRIEND!” on two Post-It notes and pasted them on the cars.

Omg, SO funny! I couldn’t stop laughing! But I was also quite scared that the owner’s of the cars would come out of the mall while we were pasting these things on their cars and beat us up. Lol.

I am laughing to myself right now. But my aunty is next to me so I am desperately trying to control my laughter because otherwise, she will think I’m going insane. My shoulders are moving up and down in silent laughter but she hasn’t noticed yet, so I’m in the clear. For now.

But seriously, does it get any funnier? :p

He’s ALWAYS doing things like this!

The other day, he changed his name to “God” in my mum’s mobile and texted her saying “Why did thou not go to church today?” and he planned on sending her a Bible verse everyday.

Obviously, my mum knew it was him when she read the first message. She hasn’t bothered to change his name back to “Bryan” so the other day, “God” texted her and said “I have tuition until 6.30pm”. I guess even God wants to do well for his PMR exams. :p

And sometime ago, he came into my room wearing 6 balaclava’s.

679-SPARCO-COOLMAX-BALACLAVA

For those of you who don’t know what a balaclava is, that’s it up there.

Racing drivers wear it for two different reasons. To prevent their helmet from smelling like hell coz they sweat when they race, duh and as a fire safety so they don’t get burnt if their car catches fire. I think.

Anyway! He comes into my room wearing 6 of these, one on top of another, and starts pulling them off one by one.

When he gets to the last one, he goes “I don’t know where the other 5 have come from coz daddy has only ever bought me 1.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Omg, so funny, can die!

Sometimes, I really wonder where he comes up with these things.

But hot daymn, give me a brother like him over someone with no sense of humour ANYTIME!

A Heartbreaker Right From The Start

Coming from a non-Muslim (immediate) family, Raya never held much significance for me as a child. However, because my grandfather’s brother is Muslim and both my parents and grandparents have close friends who are Muslim, every Raya, we would have “open houses” to go to and relatives to visit.

As a child, visiting with relatives and friends during Raya was not at the top of my priority list. Although I didn’t dislike it, I wouldn’t say I particularly enjoyed it either. I mean, come on, I would much rather be spending the time at home watching tv or sleeping or something like that!

However, recently, I’ve realized how important Raya is to me as a Malaysian. I find myself looking forward to Ramadhan bazaars and visiting my relatives and friends during Raya. And you have to admit that the Raya spirit is just SO infectious!

Although, I have to be honest, Raya music drives me CRAZY! But then again, Chinese New Year music drives me CRAZIER! The ONLY festive music I can deal with is Christmas music! Everything else is enough to make me want to put a shotgun to my head! Lol.

Anyway! Yesterday, it hit me that I am SO PROUD to be a part of this beautiful and rich society that is Malaysia. I am so lucky to be able to experience and live with so many different races because there are people all over the world who will never get to experience these cultures and the way we live.

Sure, we have the occasional racial issues amongst each other, but for the most part, we are a harmonious society and I am so thankful that my parents have raised me to never pay attention to race because we are all the same and we are all Malaysian.

So! Even though I am not Muslim, I look forward to Raya every year because I am Malaysian.

And Raya, is as important to ALL Malaysians as it is to all Muslims all over the world.

I hope that you and your families have a smashing Raya! As good as mine! :)

Pictures below are from this morning when I went to visit my grand uncle.

I’d Come For You But Only If You Told Me To

Hello everyone! So, the long promised dailydress post is FINALLY here! When I first said I’d blog my “massive” dailydress post, I had FOUR outfits to post.

This post has SEVEN outfits. :p Heh. Procrastinator much?

I’ve been busy okay! I’m so sorry! I hate that my blogging has been so sporadic lately but I really can’t help it because I have so much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it! I’m trying my very best to post as often as I can but that is obviously, not very often. Lol.

I’d like to say that my posts will get more regular but unfortunately, until all my university applications are in and my exams are over, I doubt it will. However, I do promise to try and blog as often as I can. :)

So, I’ll stop rambling now and you guys can scrutinize and “hate-it-or-love-it” my outfits. Lol.
