Freshers Week [2k15]

Hi people of the earth, today I decided to spend a few minutes out of my so called unproductive day and blog about the freshers week!

At first, I have to admit I was a bit reluctant to join, simply because I'm not the best at socializing or making friends. Then, I thought to myself, hey this is your college life, go out and have fun! So with that mindset, I decided to ignore my 'social hermit' feeling and bought a ticket to join the event! And I managed to grab a few of my friends as well (i'm good at persuading yass)  

So for the first day, we had an ice breaking session, including some group activities. It was honestly one of the hilarious nights(or i'm just easily amused) but the last group activity really cracked me up. We had to make a costume out of newspapers and the models had to walk the runway on the stage. And oh my god, the male models were damn hilarious. I wish I had pictures but I snapchatted them so....they're gone.

For the next day, we went out of the campus and headed to Berjaya Times Square. We went for Escape Room! I've never been to one so I was really excited.We were one of the few last groups so we waited for around 4 hours until finally, we started the 'mission' at 11.45 pm. We managed to escape in the last 40 seconds, and it was dayumm mind challenging in the first two rooms After the whole game ended, I came to a conclusion that I suck at these types of games. (got no detective-ish mind its okay) 
We got back to campus pretty late, so I definitely wasn't 100% focused in lectures the next day (as if I am focused on the other days)


Lovely mates: (from left) Faizah, Jie Ying, Lucius, Loh Yi, Yin Jian, Me, Brandon, Wei Chun, Ash and Noreen 



Then the following day, we went to Jump Street in Petaling Jaya. Tbh, I feel like jakun jumping on a trampoline because I don't think , ever in my childhood I have ever jumped on one. So I was laughing so hard when I started to first jump because I was so excited. I will definitely go here again or maybe try the one in Penang! Loads of fun <3 I definitely had a great time experimenting new things with my new made friends and old friends. 



Ashley, where are your legs? XD



One personal reflection of mine: Sometimes, when you get out of your comfort zones, chances are you're gonna have loads of fun. You might feel scared or uncomfortable at first, but at the end there's nothing to be scared of, and it all will be worth it.

Thanks for dropping by, people!


O U T F I T D I A R I E S : Vintage Top

Hi lovelies, its such a nice time for me to write up a new post  (its 2 am now), i'm currently working on my presentation slide for this upcoming Thursday, so might as well take a 5 min break and blog a little. 

Glitter Wide Shawl- @wafashawl
Top - Satun
Black Condrouy Jeans- Bossini
Sling Bag: Sembonia
Sandals- Vincci
On lips- Wet n Wild Megalast in Cherry Bomb

This vintage top was purchased by my dad (i never trust his fashion sense, he bought it somewhere in satun idk) but he's my dad so I eventually will just wear what he buys. At first, I was hesitant to wear it because it was so vintage-ish: the material of the top, the design and not to mention the the pattern! It looked like I raided it straight from my grandma's closet (oops) But after the first try, I love it so much! From the picture above, you can't really get a clear look (i'll put up better photos in the future sorry), but the top is vintage itself, so its more of a statement piece. (at least for me tho)

Overall, I really liked the top a lot! I wished my dad had gotten more tho so I can experiment more with my style. I've been testing a lot of new styles lately, and just been getting out of my comfort zone. I hope I'll get more chances to try new styles soon (providing tht my mom doesn't yell at my fashion choice every now and then) Apparently, my mom doesn't always approve my fashion sense (too bad). What's your favorite statement piece? Would love to know <3

That's all for now! Thanks for reading.

fresh new start. again?

Hello guys. Guess what, I made another new blog. Yeah, no surprise although I loved my old blog so much. But things had to go wrong. I wanted to change to a new layout, but I ended screwing up during the process, so what better way than to start again? Let's start fresh, again//ughh.
edited with picmonkey.com


I can't even recall on how many times I have changed my layout and ended up just doing another new blog. Oh well, and another thing, the two posts before this are taken from my previous blog. Decided to put them here, so my blog won't be so empty,considering i update 24/7(i'm being sarcastic)

Other than that, I missed writing. As in fic writing, but my writing skills have been really terrible lately, because god knows how long since I read any fanfics, so I really don't find any inspirations these past few months. I did have a few pieces of stories, but they're just random chapters of the few stories in my head. The only writing I have been doing are lab reports and academic summaries. 

Back to the point, so hopefully i'll stick to this one for another few years, and not screw up again when i'm changing the layout. Oh, and don't ask me with names. I had history with names and a fond of changing them. Okay, that concludes that I'm an indecisive person.

This post wasn't supposed to be long //

Good night people. Happy Independence Day, Malaysia!

MY SPM MRSM 2014 ESSAY: A Stranger Who Brought Me Back to Life

this post was taken from my previous blog, which was published on 10.12.2014, 0009 
_________________________________________________________________________________

Hi again earthlings! Cepat tak I update hehe, well it's the first time ever two posts in 24 hrs. This post is actually promoting my writing skills cewwah no la, just kidding. I just want to share with you guys my continuous writing essay that I wrote for SPM MRSM 2014. Yes, the story is sort of a love story obviously, all of my narrative essays are basically one shot fanfics.

So I decided to post it on my blog and share it with my readers(if you ever exist). I wanted to post on wattpad or aff but I decided its not aff-worthy so I made to decision to write it here.

In case you wondering, I used four pages, handwritten during my exam. I was actually running out of time so I had to cut short my story, the ending is actually different so I guess, wait for an epilogue(?) haha. I got a 40/50 for this essay, still wasn't my best tho, I wished I could have done it better.

Anyways, enjoy the story, Do feel free to drop any comment, regarding the story so I can improve on my writing skills. Of course, I did a few grammar tweaks, some sentences-changing here and there when I rewrited it. By the way, I changed one of the characters' names into Minho simply because today is his birthday! #24YearsofMinho Hehe :P

Enjoy <3

A Stranger who Brought Me Back to Life


I looked into the mirror to find a hideous reflection. Messy hair, dark under eyes circles with a forlorn look plastered on my face. I was such a wreck these past two weeks. I had not been getting any sleep lately, or at least I tried. I had been locking myself in my apartment, tossing and turning between the living room and bedroom. I did not want to breathe any more. Not after what had happened. The boy I loved and cherished for my whole life, Minho, dumped me because of some random girl he met at a club. I did not know behind his gentle expression, there were pools of lies in his eyes, full of deceit and sweet talks. I should have known better when Taehyun advised me not to compromise with a sly like Minho. Regretting now was not a choice although one thing for sure, I did not want to stay under the same sky as him anymore.

I got out of the bathroom and made my way out of my apartment. The place reeked with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. I had not been nice to myself lately. With a empty heart, I climbed the stairs which lead to the rooftop of my apartment in the city of New York. It was almost dawn at that time, so the sun shone its magnificent rays. Unfazed by the sun's beauty, I stepped on the edge of the rooftop. I could feel the cold concrete floor as I took my last step bare feet. The cold wind sent shivers to my spine as I looked downwards to see the bustling of the streets. I was high up on a 10-storey building where no one down can see me. I was ready to do it. I was ready to end my life forever, hoping to never be so heart -broken ever again. As tears slowly dripping from my eyes, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. As I was reaching out my left foot in the air, ready to jump, something out of the blue happened.

...

I was yanked backwards and felt a pair of warm hands around my waist. The scent was also familiar, similar to Minho's BOSS perfume, 

"Minho?" 

The question rang in my head. I looked upon to see a stranger's face. Feeling angry and confused with a hint of regret(thinking it was Minho), I pushed the stranger away from me. 

"Why did you stop me? Can't you keep your nose out of someone's business?!" I bawled at him. He stared in bewilderment and said, "You were jumping off a building, I was saving you from dying. Were you trying to kill yourself?" 

I replied, " So what if I want to kill myself? Leave me alone, I don't want to live in this planet anymore,"  I screamed in agony for holding the pain that's been inside me so long. If I wasn't killing myself, I would be dead sooner because I was slowly dying inside. I started crying hysterically and fell to the ground. I let myself drowned in more hot tears as I hid my face behind my hands, not caring the stranger's presence. At that nick of time, I felt a pair of warm hands hugging me tightly, stroking my hair. I wanted to push away but I couldn't find the strength to; his hug was the comfort I've been longing for. And as long as I remembered, my eyes closed as I felt so secured and serene in his arms.
...

I opened my eyes to see an unfamiliar environment. I was not on the rooftop any more, I was on a bed. The stranger noted I was awake, and flashed me a smile, with a simple " Hey,"

The stranger introduced himself as Jongin. Apparently, we stayed at the same apartment except his was at a few levels below mine, He is currently taking ballet and jazz classes at Julia's Arts Performing Academy downtown. " Are you okay, did you had a good nap?" He asked. I gave him a weak smile and reassured that I was fine. I thanked him for saving me even though deep down in my heart, I did not mean it. I was still devastated and wanted to end my life as soon as possible.  

We chatted for a few minutes then Jongin decided to hit me with hard questions. "Why did you wanted to kill yourself? Don't you love yourself?" I looked into his eyes, and feared to tell him my reasons. But he had a trustworthy aura, my guts saying I should tell him my story. So I poured out the whole reasons, told him how my relationship with Minho ended me killing myself. I thought he would judge me on how terrible person I was. Instead, he flashed a smile and touched my hands. 

" Can you get ready, I want to bring you somewhere."

I changed into his smallest pair of clothes, ignoring the fact that I could have went upstairs and change in my apartment. I tied my hair neatly and looked into a small mirror in his bathroom. I tried to search for a smile in the empty face of mine, but nothing came out. All I see is a pathetic girl who just lost her boyfriend. 
...

We hopped into his mini cooper as Jongin drove us somewhere. I did not know where were going as I did not bother to ask. I dozed off in the car as the sad melancholic song on radio played to my feelings. I woke up to see Jongin looking attentively at me, He smiled and told me we have arrived at our destination. I looked out of the car window to see an old abandoned looking house in a suburban area. He opened car door for me and led me to the front porch of the house. Feeling confused, I tugged him and asked, " Why are we here? I don't want to visit anyone," He gently laughed at my question and replied, " No, we're not visiting anyone. Just put your trust in me," He held my hands and went into the house. I looked left and right to find dusty and old furniture and a few frames of pictures hanging on the wall. I looked to see Jongin;s expression has changed. His eyes softened a bit, only this time he look a little bit sadder.

We went upstairs, still hand in hand. I thought I must be crazy to follow a stranger into a house, but my life was not a bed of roses anymore so I decided to follow along his lead. I gave him my trust, because if he would done something bad to me, he would already done it at his apartment.

We went into a room full of children toys and books. "This was my favorite room when I was a child. I spent my whole childhood in this room," He exclaimed happily and let out a grin. I looked at him with a blank expression, not comprehending his cheerful exclamation. He made me sit on a sofa while he searched for something in the bookshelves in the room. He took out a photo album and made his way to the sofa. " I want to show you something," he said. He opened the photo album and showed me an old picture of a woman and  a man holding a little boy. I guessed the boy was Jongin, and the two elderly was his parents.

"Shin Min- ah, I want to tell you something. You see, the woman in this picture was my mom. She died at the age of 25 because of lung cancer, so I only had seen her when I was around 1 or 2 years old, I would do anything to see her again," He looked at me with a sad smile, tears forming in his eyes. After his mother's death, his dad died because of a broken heart and took drugs. Jongin was an orphan since then. He was raised by his aunt.

He then touched my hands and gave me a warm gaze. " I don't want to see you wasting your life Shin Min- ah. You still have a long way to go. Please, I remembered how my mom suffered, saying that she did not want to die because she doesn't want to part ways from me and my father. She was having severe stage of cancer, and she was too weak and fragile. And I lost my father too. Please, do not waste your life over a boy. That boy, Minho is just a passerby in your life. You will find someone better soon," He gave me a weak smile and let go of my hands. He was drained in his own tears.

Tears were forming in my eyes as I slowly realized on how much I could have wasted my life if I had jumped off that builidng. I looked to Jongin, seeing his pain expression on how much he misses his mom. His words made me realized that how much I wanted to end my life and at the same time someone is wishing to bring back a life. I was grateful to him. I was grateful that this stranger was kind enough to open up and help a stranger, like me.

Wiping the tears in my eyes, I hugged Jongin and whispered, "Thank you. Thank you so much for saving me," I looked at him and wiped his tears away, " Don't cry anymore, you look ugly when you cry." We both let out a hesitant laugh and sensed a great friendship in the future.

After that, I was determined to live my life the fullest.

Hello lovelies! Right now I'm blogging from my phone considering it's easier this way! So as you can read from the title above, I'm going to do a review on Hermo! What's Hermo you say? 


                                                                                        

All above images are screenshots from hermo.my 

Basically, this website sells beauty products, ranging from makeup, skincare, body care to perfumes etc! 

So, after a few times of temptations and temptations, I just had to try their service! I consider myself a great makeup lover so   when I first checked their website, the products they're selling are eye candies! Oh so tempting! Obviously because they sell mostly Korean stuffs (ps: kpop fan here) 
To be honest, I have only heard about this website a few weeks ago if I'm not mistaken, so I think it's fairly new( do correct me if I'm wrong) because buzz about this website was just recently..(or i'm just really clueless)
A lot of people posted pictures on instagram about Hermo, and there were ads on youtube, so how can I'm not seduced to buy a few stuff from there? Plus there are tons of great deals at their website! They're aren't lying about that! Most of the products have discounts and a lot more cheaper than the store prices.

For me, I bought two products from their website. And I got the free shipping deal! Major cool! I ordered last Tuesday, around 2 pm. The instructions for the order payment are also very easy to follow, making it a very useful website. Plus, for the shipping, they let you to choose the shipping method and courier. And there's even special requests if you have any! These features definitely caught my attention! And guess what? The shipping was no joke. My items arrived the day after, which was very efficient and fast! (Gdex is efficient, as always) 

So I was definitely satisfied with the shipping and when the products arrived, I had no whatsoever complains. Nice packaging and products were in good shape. 
The sealed package
    


The packaging comes with a box
Inside the box: The products and invoice receipt
                                     
                         

Overall, I was very satisfied with the service! 5/5  Definitely a website you need to check out if you're looking for beauty brands from Korea and so on! Do you guys want a review on the mascara or lip tint? I would be delighted to do one. Until  then, stay fab! And thanks for taking the time to read! 

ps: I wasn't sponsored by this affiliated website. The review above are purely honest opinions from me. plus, i'm not that cool! oops
