The Green-eyed Witch

So, I've been under house arrest ever since my buddy, Jinny went back to Singapore. Yep, that's how lonely I get without her 'cuz most of my friends are away studying in KL and Australia. Some have even become mummies which makes me feel very old as we are of the same (child-bearing?) age. You know, *talks in a hushed tone* I keep thinking that I'm still 20 years old. Hehehe. I keep having to correct myself each time someone asks me how old I am. And no way am I disclosing my real age here. Gah. xD I guess I stopped growing at 20. Or not.

I haven't been doing anything at home. Nope, not a single thing besides eating, sleeping and watching movies. But I suppose I did wash at most two plates okay! Oh and I've been doing random stuffs and wasting my dad's money like curling my hair in the middle of the night with my curling iron or painting strawberries onto my fingernails on the left hand and pink flowers with a white background on the right or buying that adorable pair of polka dot wedges or getting a half-year supply of green contact lenses. Yep, you read it correctly. I got myself green contacts so that I look like a witch walking down the streets. Get into my bad books and you may find yourself under a spell. Ha! :)

SomeOne was telling me just a couple of minutes ago that a 'something for you' card came in the post today. My reply, thinking that it was a card for me, was, "Heh. Why did you tell me?" (I wanted it to be a surprise) Then I found out that he meant the slip-that-you-get-in-the-mail-when-the-postman-delivers-a-parcel-to-you-but-you-weren't-home-at-the-time-and-so-he-left-it-at-the-post-office card. WELL THAT WAS EMBARRASSING. :S

Ima grab some pizza now. Fatness.
Less than three.

Ringing Bells

*READERS BEWARE; THE AUTHOR IS IN A MAJOR WEDDING MODE*

Okay, so I'm a weirdo who loves weddings. Also, I love Valentine's and cupids and white gowns. What can I say, I'm a Libra. I'm a hopeless romantic. Blame my sign.
P.S: SomeOne had better note this.

Maybe it's because of the exposure to Disney's cartoons at a very young age where the stories always end with 'and they lived happily ever after'. Maybe it's because of the romance comedies on Astro that I've been addicted to for the past few days. Or maybe it's simply because I'm currently PMS-ing. I am now obsessed with weddings.

Marriages don't always have happy endings, I know. That's the cruel fact of life though I choose to believe otherwise. I've seen happy marriages. To pessimists out there, they do exist! It's all about giving and taking (although I love calling the shots and being in charge :P hey I do give in every once in awhile).

I was lying in bed last night thinking about how much I want to be a wedding planner. I even had visions of a garden wedding, a pool wedding and a church wedding. Hehehe this is shameless! But seriously, if you're planning on getting married two years later (I would have graduated by then if everything goes according to plan), do get me as your wedding planner.

I think I just found my dream job. Maybe this is a little unrealistic... but since I said 'dream' it doesn't have to be :) Maybe being a divorce lawyer would be more practical these days. Hmm.

P.S: Hi, because I absolutely have nothing to do at home I decided to post something on my blog. Thanks!!

Good Morning Paris!

So after Dublin our next stop was Paris.
The French motorists were always rushing about. Hmmm. They don't give way to pedestrians. Hmmm. Unlike ol' Manchester. And they just had to step on the gas while we were crossing the road which sent us screaming in a frenzy like a bunch of mad people. It was super embarrassing. Anyway, what do you expect in a big city like this right?

We travelled around Paris using the tubes which were very, very efficient, I must say. The longest I ever waited for one was 5 minutes!! But the underground air is musty and smells of... pee. Most probably some drunkard peed there. Eeeew.

Uh-oh I'm bad mouthing Paris. Hehe.
Hellooo... This is PARIS I'm talking about! Who cares about the transport!
Everyone goes there because it's so glamorous :)



Eiffel tower. As if you don't know.



Notre Dame. This is where the Disney character, Quasimodo from 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' lived.


Ooooh... and this is my favourite place on Earth. Super duper love Disneyland. It was worth every penny I paid. More expensive than my Westlife concert ticket lor.


Champ Elysees. There... it's that famous street with all the branded stuff along it. Yer... no nicer picture of me. Couldn't open my eyes... too sunny. (Don't be vain. Don't be vain.)


This is Arc de Triomphe. See lah... they were doing some restoration works. Spoil the picture. (Arc, don't be vain.)


The National Opera-Opera Bastille. The plot in the novel 'The Phantom of the Opera' apparently took place here. See... got people taking wedding photos here!! I also want!!!


Nah... the overprotected and overrated Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci.


Foie gras. My Mum was like, 'You ate foie gras? Do you know how they make it? They force feed the geese so that they can harvest bigger livers,' when I told her. T___T I will never, never, never, ever eat it again.


Escargots (snails). Eeeew... I could feel them crawling in my stomach after eating them. And no, I did not puke.

Nice yummy foods:
1. Creme brulee
2. Macaron

Okay, you can go and try them now. Bye bye.
You see lah... I didn't do any work again. Later I have a full dress rehearsal (for Mnight) some more.

Greetings from Dublin

Hello hello... :)

Me went for a uber nice long break during the Easter holidays. I wanted to blog after coming back but I was quite preoccupied with dance practices. Yeah... me and my smart idea of performing for Mnight. Super hard work okay.

And you know what! I FORGOT my PIN number because I didn't use my card for 12 days. Now I have zero cash(I use that card to withdraw money) and I can't pay using my card. T____T
*speechless* I ended up owing everyone around me like the Malay proverb 'hutang keliling pinggang'. Hehe. Ok lah, I'll find time to go to the bank. [Whispers]I'm left with five euros from my trip though. :) See... I didn't spend all my money after all. Smart consumer leh.

I have a lot of assignments to complete. T___T But I keep putting them off. Procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate!!! *vomit* I will start TONIGHT!

Lemme show you some pictures of Dublin. Will upload pictures of Paris and Amsterdam next. Save the best for last. :)

Cliffs of Moher

The Burren. This whole place is made up of granite. Apparently the grass over here grows throughout winter because granite retains heat. (I was listening to the tour guide up to this point... and then I fell asleep. Sigh. I paid the tour company to sleep on their bus.)


Connemara. The winds were so strong I literally flew the moment I stepped down from the bus. (P.S. I'm light!!! Hohohoho.)

Kylemore Abbey. An English man from Manchester built this for his wife but she passed away not long after that. She contracted some disease when they were on holiday at some place.

Wow, I remember quite a lot. I'm impressed with myself :) *claps* No wonder I forgot my PIN.


St. James park
Sorry, it's supposed to be St. Stephen's Park. St. James' is in London.


A statue of Molly Malone. I don't know who she is but she had lala in the basket.

The famous Guinness Storehouse. I drank beer and got a little red in the face. Please... I had only two mouthfuls. Sigh. I'm such a goody-two-shoes. Yay!!

Posers. I likey. Haha.

Cheers!!

Till then. Don't miss me too much. Muacksss.

Yesterday and Today

I went to the gym for a workout yesterday :) (You know, since I'm gaining so much weight like nobody's business and I've already begun to see the signs, for example, puffy cheeks and a really flabby tummy)

This is the second step to a healthy lifestyle. (I'm already practising the first one-eating healthily. I eat OATS for breakfast everyday to lower my cholesterol level, okay...)

Honestly I didn't know what I was thinking at that time. Jogging Brisk walking certainly isn't the most pleasant thing in the world. Plus I only lost 54 calories after a 20 minute jog which is crap. I feel so cheated. And later that night, I ate a slice of chocolate cake for dessert which I almost immediately regretted but it was so tempting I couldn't resist it. It's so frustrating sometimes. It is so difficult to lose weight but so easy to gain weight. But then again, who said life is fair??

Today, I had pancakes and egg tarts for lunch (high calorie foods again) T_________T
*They were homemade*


Delicious pancake served with bananas, strawberries, hazelnut butter(nutella), and topped with golden syrup.

I know the picture doesn't look too appetizing. I used a blue tint(blue is an appetite suppressant colour) so that you won't feel like eating it and won't drool all over your keyboard. See, it is for your own good.

Sorry, no pictures of the egg tarts.

I baked and played cards the whole day. There goes my 'today'...
Gotta get some work done tonight. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Random fact: I'm beginning to like Professor T. His accent is sooooooo cute and I found out that I can actually understand his lectures if I pay attention. *loves*

Classic death

The Power of Music

Is it just me or has the sudden change in weather induced drowsiness? Mind you, it's already spring. Nice, sunny spring :) It's been a long time since I last took a nap but for the past couple of days, I've been falling asleep while SITTING UPRIGHT in my CHAIR =.=

Something then hit me. I remember reading an article in Reader's Digest about a girl who was suffering from a sleep disorder. She just kept sleeping and sleeping and sleeping. I don't remember what the name of the disorder was but there was no cure. I don't want to die from excessive sleep. T______________T

Something hit me the second time. I realised that I had been listening to soothing, relaxing and calming music for the past week. Well, it was supposed to enhance concentration, something I lack, right? I have got to the bottom of the Sleeping Corrinne Mystery. See. Told you I'm a detective (read:Sherlock Holmes). Just to prove my new theory, I went and searched it online. And then... I stumbled on this page with the title 'The Use of Music to Promote Sleep in Older Women'. I am NOT older women. T_________________T

Another worrying fact is, plants that were exposed to loud, rock music withered and died whereas plants which were exposed to soft, classical music grew faster. (You can read the article here) ZOMG, I'm not hitting the clubs anymore. T_______________T

P.S. I've been to the club only ONCE in my entire twenty years of life.
