Hey guys! It's 2014 today!

Gosh I still am taken aback by the fact that 2013 is already GONE!

2013 was an amusing year for me, to go down the memory lane a bit:

Jan 2013: Got my 3rd and 4th piercings

Feb 2013: Got my 5th and 6th piercings
               Started my Uni first year

Mar 2013: Met my favourite Youtuber Dave Days and got a kiss from him xD
             
April 2013: Performed my very first K-pop Dance with the Korean Society members

May 2013: Went to CN Blue concert
                Got in Korean Society committee

June 2013: Had my first Uni exams

July 2013: Went to Sydney for the first time

Aug 2013: Participated in the Korean Society's welcome party-first time attending a Korean event

Sept 2013: Went to K-wave for the first time
                Performed a K-pop Dance again in Uni, this time I was the one who organized everything

Oct 2013: Started to study like shit for my exams...so no major things

Nov 2013: 2nd exam in Uni. Ended up badly but managed to pass everything ><
                Got my very first salary

Dec 2013: My 1 month internship
                Met up with my #Addiction Daphne Froggy....like FINALLY
                Attended #Addiction's wedding as a bridesmaid
                Hung out with my blogger idol Chanwon
                Went to Doraemon exhibition
                First time spending new year's eve outside home

I know my life is as simple as a 2-year-old kid's very first ABC book because I don't really have much major things going on in my life, but I am grateful for the fact that I'm still living on this planet. 2013 was quite a new turning point of my life because not only it's my last teenage year, but also it's the start of my life as a Melbourne UNI student, which I am proud of.


As for my 2014, today the very first day, I slept in till 12pm because I'm a bit sick these days. Before I started to watch the last 5 episodes of MARRY HIM IF YOU DARE, I decided to come up here to write about my NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS :p

Perhaps...It's just a rough guideline for me to live through 2014 without wasting it like shit again :p

1! STUDY HARDER!! GET BETTER GRADES

2! Keep my room tidy ALL THE FREAKING TIME

3! Drink honey lemon EVERY GOD DAMN DAY

4! Sleep early and wake up on time and not rolling in the bed with the phone for a freaking hour

5! Jot down things in a diary so I won't be so forgetful and to prevent procrastination

6! Read more USEFUL things

7! Get an 8 for my upcoming IELTS [I suppose this should be in the top 3 of the list :/]

8! Practice guitar more

9! Learn more Korean

10! Get a 25inch waist and hit 45KG

11! Get a boyfriend?!?! Sounds desperate LOL

12! Blog more diligently

13! Get better skin

14! Exercise EVERY WEEK

15! Earn more money

16! Go on a trip alone with my own friends with my own money

17! Learn something new: cocktail making/coffee making/skateboard

18! Don't leave things till the very last minute

Of course there are still tonnes of things which I may have forgotten right now, but I will definitely add them into this list whenever I remember them!

I just can't be contented with these right?! *laughs*
It's time I learn from my past mistakes and get my ass up to get things done! 


♥♥ Have a Happy 2014 EVERYONE ♥♥

It's been a dreadfully long time since I last did a blog collaboration with my blogger sweeties! Click here to read our previous collaborations ♥ We even have a What's In My Bag collaboration!!! Awww~ I miss them so much! 

The other day Maple proposed the idea of doing a blog collaboration on our makeup pouches because she's curious about what we all keep as collections. I am curious as well! That's why I agreed *evil laugh*


Here it is!!!



My makeup pouch is just an ordinary toiletry bag that my mom brought home from Genting's Hotel :p She used to bring her foreign customers to visit Genting whenever they came over to Malaysia for their business trips. She went there so many times until my house cabinet has quite a number of this toiletry bag!


To make it less boring, I added some studs myself. Bought the studs from eBay with a dirt cheap price.


And added a Michael Jackson keychain which I made myself when I was in high school!

I have to pinpoint that my makeup pouch is not at all glamorous with loads of branded things and tonnes of colourful things....so you might find it boring...I suppose :3 



Eye shadow crayons given by my friend in Australia for my 19th birthday.

My eyeliners. The one with blue lid is a waterproof one - I just use it to draw temporary tattoos on my hands! The one with silver lid is the one which I use to draw my usual eyeliners!


I never intended to COLLECT cosmetics because I don't think I will need them BUT these shimmering eyeliners are totally irresistable. At only 2.50 Aussie dollar for each, tell me how can I not buy them? They can work as eyeshadows too if you blend them out. That's why I collected all of them except for brown colour (because brown is boring....IMO)



Mascaras


Eyelash curler, eyebrow shaver, eyebrown plucker



My lip glosses



Double eyelid stickers. Someone told me that double eyelids will grow out itself after sticking the stickers for a period of time so I'm trying hard!



Pocket mirror is ALSO related to Korea. Talk about hardcore please *smirk*


Bracelets that I bring everywhere because you never know when they come in handy. These 2 are my favourites! Sometimes I will bring along one or two earrings but I've become lazier so none of them at the moment.


These are probably the most unglam things in my makeup pouch and I guess nobody keeps these things in makeup pouches except for me LOL! 


From right: "Kua-Sha" (saw my favourite blogger Rachell blogged about getting slimmer legs with Kua-Sha, so I bought one and keep it with me so I can use it whenever I'm watching Korean dramas), blackhead strips & tooth floss.


My concealer. I can't live without this thing.


Realize that I don't have a foundation and blusher? Because with my concealer, I don't think I need them, but, I'm actually prepared to buy in foundation and blusher AFTER I CONSULT MY #ADDICTION!

Who knows she might make me change everything in my makeup pouch after the next few weeks! HAHA! I'm prepared to do as she says anyway :p

That's all for today! Off to watch Korean drama now ^^

Don't forget to check out my #addiction DaphneFroggy and Maple's makeup pouches!!!

Last Friday after my work, my godbrother's sister, her boyfriend and her mom picked me up from work and headed for Mid Valley. I haven't been to Mid Valley for a loooong time. From hindsight, when I got back last year, I didn't go there as well, only went to One Utama with my #BADInfluence.

Anyway, back to the real deal. The other day, I heard from my colleagues that one of the most famous restaurants in town now is Sushi Zanmai. According to them, there is always a long line of people waiting to be seated outside the restaurant, typically during dinner time.

Fortunately, that day after work, there was no jam so we arrived quite early and all of us were starving, so we decided to have an early dinner. My godbrother's sister suggested Sushi Zanmai. Despite the fact that I'm on a diet (not quite, but still counted as one), I was still really enthusiastic about paying Sushi Zanmai a visit since my colleagues said that it's so incredibly famous nowadays. Of course I have to give it a try, right?! *kiasu much*

My advice for you is to go there early. To avoid the Q as well as to eat early dinner which is good for your health (because you should not be consuming anything at least 4 hours before you sleep to avoid accumulation of tummy fats).

We arrived at 6.45pm and were seated very quickly. FYI, the restaurant was already quite packed with people at that time, just not so full until we had to Q up outside.


At first waiting happily for the food to be served.


The food took a freaking long time to come and I started to get impatient ==''


I'm not a big fan of sashimi so I can't give any remarks about this dish. However, my godbrother's mom, sister and sister's brother were complaining that the sashimi were sliced into very small (and stingy-looking) pieces which was not really worth the price. 


This is like better class maggie mee with an egg on top. 


Beef rice which is also not really special. I personally feel that the Bulgogi that we cooked at K-wave was way better than this one (I'm being quite humbly honest though). 


My godbrother's mother ordered this because she heard me saying about the Curry Chicken Katsu from Melbourne is really really nice. Hence, she wanted to try something similar. On the other hand, I was well-prepared to try it so I can make comparisons. 

And you know what the result was?! GOD DAMN!


This dish from Sushi Zanmai is such a disgrace for the CURRY CHICKEN KATSU FAMILY!!! 

Curry Chicken Katsu is one of the most simplest dishes that you can find in Melbourne's Japanese restaurants. Or I shall say...Japanese FAST FOOD restaurants. Incredibly basic dish YET Sushi Zanmai did a BAD job on it. On top of that, this simple dish took like 40 minutes to arrive on our table. 

Judging by the looks of it, when it first arrived, I was already disappointed. 

After visiting Sushi Zanmai for the very first time, I only have one word to conclude: OVERRATED. Till now, I still don't have a clue why people are going gaga over this new restaurant. Is not worth the line at all. By the time we finished our dinner, it was about 8pm and there was a bunch of people waiting outside and I even had the urge to tell them "HEY DUDE, IT'S JUST NOT WORTH!"

I haven't written any foodie posts with personal remarks that seriously ever since I stopped blogging on my food blog, but this is just an exception because I really have to pinpoint that this restaurant is OVERRATED. 

To go or not to go, it's totally your choice. I've made my stance here, Sushi Zanmai is a go-once-and-no-more-place.

End of story. Good night.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately....My finals are starting on Friday!! 

OMFG!!!


I'm constantly in a grumpy mood right now, I'm just trying to calm myself down and act all happy-go-luckyy so I won't go around smashing things and even burning my lecture notes and books >M< 

My best medicine is this!!




This girl never fails to cheer me up. Just by looking at her smile and comical facial expressions will make my mood better! This is a new Taiwanese Drama called JUST YOU 就是要你爱上我 starring Aaron Yan and Puff Kuoh! WATCH IT! I've recommended this drama to my #addiction and my bestie and they are now busy watching it HAHA! I'm a good promoter! To be an even BETTER promoter, here's the official Youtube channel.


By the way, can someone tell me SHOULD I buy this necklace?! It's from the drama! I love that girl's character LIANG  LIANG so much! Kinda start to miss her already because the drama is coming to an end, planning to buy this necklace which she always wears in the drama. Will it suit me?!!?! Since I'm not so adorable like her...Still I find this necklace CUTE! Any advice PLEASE!!! 

Anyway, I have a feeling that I will be having PAPER PHOBIA soon~ My whole room is full of papers: lecture notes, books, post-it notes, bullshit papers, tutorial sheets.....DAMN!!!

Seriously, studying makes people grumpy! Sometimes I wonder if this is the right thing to do, but oh well...You know how cruel and realistic the world is. How can you survive without a University certificate.

My exam is starting on this coming Friday! FML!

Business Law on Friday
Accounting Process and Analysis on Monday
Organizational Behaviour on Tuesday
Business Finance on Thursday

RAWRRRR!!!! *DINOSAUR MODE ON*

I'm going to take a shower to calm myself down and continue with  my studies!

Since young, I've always wanted to celebrate Halloween. Unfortunately, I grow up in Malaysia, which is a place where majority of people don't give a damn about this spooky yet interesting festival. Come to think of it, throughout my 19 years of life, I only celebrate Halloween ONCE when I was 6. I dressed up like a fairy :p

My passion for Halloween grew greater when I visited the States when I was 12. At that time, it was 2 weeks before Halloween so I saw people selling tonnes of Halloween things at the shops. You can imagine how envious I was at that time.


When I got to Melbourne last year, I made a vow that throughout 4 years of my college+university life here, I must at least celebrate Halloween once. Well, after all, you only live once, and what's more?! You are only have your teen and your youth ONCE! How pathetic -__-

And then I figured out, in the city of Melbourne, we have a Zombie Shuffle event every year!!!! I never know the exact date and time for this event that's why I never attended. Last year I co-incidentally bumped into those ghouls while I was heading home from grocery shopping and they scared me to death!!!!

I thought ghosts are afraid of sunlight @@ That's what I thought at that time :p

Anyway, I SAW THEM! All of them, so even though I didn't attend the event, I had already seen them. So no regrets.

This year's Zombie Shuffle, I MISSED it! I didn't know when it's going to be held and by the time I knew about it, it was already over.

Thankfully my bestie Alanis went there the very last minute and I got these photos from her to share with you all. So that you know what's Zombie Shuffle!!!!

Check em out!!!









I don't own these photos. Photo credits to my bestie Alanis (from her iPhone) :p

If you wanna see MOREEEEEE bloodily terrifying photos from Melbourne's Zombie Shuffle, please click HERE!!! <---- ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

ps: Guess what?! I'm blogging from my Uni's computer! First time doing this because I'm soooooo busy with my studies these days, and I thought I MUST blog about this before October ended. So yeah~~ PLEASE appreciate my effort KEKEKE :p

Around a week or 2 ago, I created a group chat on KakaoTalk app with my blogger sweeties: Daphne (#addiction), Xixi (#trebleclef), Vincci (Smiling Eyes), Ivy and Kah Mon. 

Then one day, out of total boredom I started ranting that we haven't been a blog collaboration lately. Ivy came out up with the idea of doing a room tour and I immediately agreed to that :p Daphne is unable to join us this time because she's worried that her hubby might be against it and Xixi is reluctant to clean her room...HAHA...no no, truth is, she has a roommate and it's not really that convenient. 

Since I'm gonna move out AGAIN this year...I will anyhow do another room tour before leaving this rectangular room! 

I had a square room in the college's dorm last year and this year I rented a studio apartment which is 7 minutes walk to school :3 Finally no more sharing bathroom with other people BUT the downside of it is that I have to cook on my own and do nearly EVERYTHING on my own. Worst part of it is that the electricity is not included in my rent. 

So the collaboration for this time only involves me and Ivy (check out her room here)!

Alright enough blabbering, I'm going into the real deal now, just that I have to pinpoint beforehand, this is not really a ROOM TOUR, like literally~ Cause I'm pretty lazy to clean my room at this moment (preparing for exams....always the BEST-EST excuse!), yet I'm always proud of my room's decoration, which is all done by ME! Single-handedly!


I totally deserve this! *NO SHAME-ING*

READY?!?! DANG DANG DANG DANG!!!


This is the back of my door!

Spot the blogger queen Xiaxue on the left corner?

Hebe from the Taiwan girl group S.H.E

Hyuna - hottest chic

Yoona

Jimmy Lin - my perfect dream guy

Some random post cards and a poster of Brunetti (remember that dessert shop that I blogged about here?!)

My keys are forever hung at the door knob because the door autolocks whenever it's closed, I got locked out 2 or 3 times already because I forgot to bring the keys out. 


If I got locked out *touchwood* on weekdays, I have to walk 10 minutes to get the keys from the housing agent and open up to get my keys and walk back to return her! Waste of energy and time!

Worst thing about getting locked out is during weekends, because the housing agent's office is closed and we have to call the locksmith. My friend got locked out once and she called and was charged 132 DOLLARS!!! *AUSSIE DOLLARS* Just to open that damn door!


For me...I just went to my other friends' houses and rotted there HAHA!


After you enter the room, directly on the left is my closet. (too small for me)

Photos of my blogger queen Cheesie and Qiu Qiu. 

On the left, photo of my mom, my godsis and her mom and me taken at my god sis's 15th birthday party.

Avril Lavigne.

MJ and Orianthi.

Random photos of me and Erica all over.

On the right, I have Rainie Yang's photos which I cut out from some contact lens advertisement!


Inside of my closet! 

Cheesie again and polaroids taken at my friend Daniel's birthday party.



Then you can see my bed!

I NEVER FOLD MY BLANKET! That's the ugly truth! (I was doing my laundry when I took this photo that's why there's no bedsheet!)




I'm dead proud of myself please! THIS THING TOOK ME 2.5 HOURS!!!

From right: Jung Yong Hwa oppa, Jang Keun Suk oppa, then King Of Pop Michael Jackson!

And yeah...watch my vlogs and you will see this in the background!!!



At the head of the bed..

Christina Grimmie! Favourite Youtube celeb!

And a Simpsons paper with Yong Hwa oppa's name (direct translation) that was given by CN Blue's fans club ;)




At the end of my bed. I never used the TV before! Don't really like Aussie TV channels.

Ignore my gigantic luggage bag xD

Kimmi Smiles, Louna and Dave Days! Most of the photos are autographed! I went to their meetups in Melbourne ^^
"

Directly opposite my bed, is my study table!

I have lots of quotes that I copied from the internet! 

Photos of Korea and Japan!

Dangling from the bookshelves are my selcas with the cutest Youtube celebrity DAVE DAYS and some Voodoo dolls and Macaron keychains given by my talented cousin (she made them herself) :3


On the right of my study table is this wall, full of my guitar goddess Orianthi's photos! Some of them are even autographed!

Jung Yong Hwa and Jang Keun Suk oppa and CN Blue newspaper cut out which my bestie Wei Chern gave it to me when I was 17 :p And a cartoon version of You're Beautiful drama characters!



On the left of my bookshelves, I have Wu Chun!

The 2 teddy bears are sitting on my accessories' boxes (they are actually plastic food containers)!


Anyway, I apologize for not showing my room thoroughly, because I'm seriously too reluctant to tidy up my room!

Perhaps you will notice that most of the decorative items are quite similar to those in my old room. I just added more things :p Kinda a lot more! Typically the wall beside my bed :p

And guess what~~~

Upon reading Ivy's blog post, I realise the accommodation fee in Malaysia is god damn cheap! RM 300 + for A SEMESTER! You gotta be kidding me! This room of mine is 240 DOLLARS PER WEEK~!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAFUQ~!!!!!!

Anyway, I'm going to move in with my bestie next year because her parents bought her an apartment in Melbourne and she wanted me to move in with her. She even gave me complete freedom to decorate the entire house! We are going to make the house something like this or if you are watching the hit Taiwanese drama "就是要你爱上我", the concept will be similar to 程亮亮's room ;D

Believe me! I'm getting better at doing things like that...To be honest...I actually love doing this kind of things! If I'm good at drawing, I would've studied designing - jewellery, interior or fashion :p HAHAHA! Too bad fate had it otherwise, I'm stuck with figures and money. Nevermind, I love money the most :p

I will add more things to my new room, give you a tiny tip on what I'm going to add:
My new idol from the drama I mentioned just now. Puff from Dream Girls!


Ballet photos! 


Figure skating photos!

Off to eat my super early dinner so I can study in the library till night~ Mind to let me know what opinions/comments on my room deco?! :p Any ideas what I should add to my new room next year? :3
