Day 2 without Asye in the same country...

Today I changed my phone. I used my old phone, the Walkman phone, coz it has a World Clock application. So that I'll know what time is it in Cape Town.

Went to a wedding today. The wedding of the son of mum's old friend. Her youngest son is studying in Uniten too, and my mum expect me to know him coz he's going to be in the 3rd year. But since I'm a STUDENT of Uniten, and not a friggin SOCIALITE of Uniten, I don't know him. Lots of guys at the wedding. Probably Uniten students. I dunno.

It's a simple wedding. Only a small number of guests. A lot different from all the grand weddings I've been to. Grand wedding definition: Venue is at a hotel or a prestigious multi-purpose hall, food served on the table and is seldom buffet style, there's a slideshow showing cheesy potraits of the bride and groom, and as if they're not vain enough, there's someone who'll make a speech about how they met (boring). Sometimes there'll be poem recital.

I notice, other families, during Raya especially, the whole family will wear the same colour of clothes. During Raya or weddings, my parents will wear the same colour, and I'm THE ONE LEFT OUT. They don't wanna wear the same colour as me. Like today, I wore beige and they wore yellow. They think they so cute wearing the same colour huh?? Puhleaze! I think during last year's Raya, I wore purple and my parents wore yellow, and my cousins were all like, "Kak Nana, why you're the only one wearing different color??" Coz my parents don't wanna include me that's why! OK, fine, as if I care. At least Asye always ask me what colour I'm wearing and then he makes the effort to wear the same colour too. At least someone wants to look the same as me!

I feel bored and lonely coz everyday there'll be a good night call from Asye, signalling bedtime. I can't study EIS coz it's so boring and makes me more depressed than ever (as if I care about patents and trademarks what the heck). Instead, I'm reading Cosmopolitan. I learnt that:

Guys feel proud when other guys check out his girlfriend. It's as if he makes the right choice and other guys approve of it. But some guys, especially the ones with low self confidence and feels that his girlfriend is cuter than him, will feel threatened if other men looks at his girlfriend.

Hahaha. Guys are so funny.

I'm sick of the whole protein and eating lots of eggs diet. I'm on a new diet. I still eat lots of protein, but I take carbs too. Complex carbs, like wholemeal bread and oatmeal. Complex carbohidrate takes longer time to digest, so I'll feel full longer. My workout routine has changed too. It's called a Couch Potato Workout Plan. Haha. I watch TV, and when there's advertisement, I'll run up and down the stairs or lift weights. Haha I'm the fittest couch potato in the world. I have to make sure I manage to slim down before my trip this June (yes!!I'm going on a holiday!!)

Anyway, last night Asye texted me. He's supertired that time, coz he haven't arrived at the hotel yet. He has been touring Cape Town and taking tons of pics and eating KFC coz the chicken there are halal.He said the scenery there is breathtaking and I feel sooo jealous!

Needs vs. Wants

NEEDS
1.Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
2.Mild Liquid Soap
3.Cleansing milk

WANTS
1.Flower Princess EDT 30ml
2.Clinique Suncare SPF30
3.Clinique Even Better

LIP PLUMP PRODUCT REVIEW
When I applied it, my lips doesn't become plumper. Maybe coz my lips are plump already? But I like it coz it's a lip primer (like a face primer), so it acts like a lip concealer. And I really need that coz my lips are like smoker's lips even though I don't smoke. That's so depressing. Lip Plump makes applying lipstick a whole lot easier too.

Day 1

Day 1 without Asye.

Went to KLCC. Time for some retail theraphy. Blew my money on Benefit's Lip Plump. And then I walked around and Dorothy Perkins had a sale. 50% off some clothes. I tried on three outfits. One is a red top with ribbon. It's a size 10, so it looks baggy on me. Can't wear it with skirt. It has a low neckline, so I'll have to wear it with tube. And I already have lots of tops in that colour.

The second outfit...a black dress. I think it's a black top with that little skirt attached to it. But since I'm so short and it's a size 12, I looks like a dress on me. But it's more expensive that the pink one, so I didn't buy it.

The third one...is a grey top. It sort of flatter my figure, and I can wear it with jeans,thighs and skirt. So I bought it. Feels guity though, a new top isn't on my shopping list.

Since I spent more than RM100 today, Parkson gave me a RM10 voucher. Hmmph! The value of RM10 today. Redeemed it for a trendy pencilcase which I'm going to turn into a makeup bag.

Anyways, I took a Parkson brochure. It says there on 30th May there'll be a sale exclusive for Bonus Link cardmembers only. The time: 10am-11am. I thought, "Waa...why one hour only??Some more I have to come back on 30th May for the sale!" It will be a crime to miss this sale, coz Clinique has bonus time. Buy RM290 and get a 7piece gift set plus bag(usually you have to buy RM310 to get gift set). I was excited coz the gift set consists of the items I need: liquid soap, moisturizer, mascara, Turnaround concentrate, eye cream n lippie. And the bag is oh so gorgeous! I told myself, "Nevermind lah. Can come back on 30th May."

Then I went home and read the newspaper and then...ohmygod today is 30th May!! And the time isn't 1 hour. It's from 10am-11PM! Duh! Sometimes I wonder how I can get an A for Differential Eqn!

I miss Asye already. He texted me, saying that he has landed in Cape Town. I can't wait for him to come back!

Bye bye Asye!

I woke early this morning...9am...it's early OK? Coz it's holiday. Holidays means I'm supposed to wake up at 11. Planned to go to KLCC with my mum today, but then she said she doesn't feel like going. Reason? Her favourite Indonesian drama series is showing on ntv7. Mind you, she'd seen the entire series before on tv3, this is just repeat. Haihh... Dunno what to say la. Will I fancy boybands and Indonesian actors when I become a mother one day? I see lots of mothers are into boybands.
Anyways,the bf's going off to Africa tonight. Huhu. For 10 days!!! How am I going to survive 10days? I'm so jealous he gets to travel while I'm stayin in friggin Malaysia, cramming for my EIS final. Whatever. All I know is that I'm gonna miss him sooo bad.
Will write in this blog more often from now. How I survive 10days without being in the same country with my bf. Haha. What an idea.

A message to Asye before he leaves Malaysia...

I know I'm supposed to come up with a sweet going-away message.
Haha. So many things to tell you, but once I start typing, I have absolutely no idea what to say.
Don't be sad OK? You're going on a HOLIDAY. And kidnappers must be TOUGH.Hehe.
Hope you have a fun, memorable and enjoyable trip!
Pray that you have a safe journey.
Have fun hiking, sight-seeing and whale watching!
There'll come a time when you get to experience all that with ME ;) Soon. I promise.

Randomness

Heehee. Changed my layout again. Maybe the cute girl theme doesn't really suit me, plain & boring is better! Just like my life! Teehee.

I'm craving for food as usual. All I can think about is food. No, no (forced myself to think about other things). Arrgh!! It's hard. Grr...OK, I won't touch that chocolate. Oops, I ate it. OK, that's enough. Arghh I'm eating popcorns next!

I'm so bored. Here I am blogging, writing a blog that people don't read. Usually I will read back my own blog, reading back what I wrote myself. Hihi.

Happy Saturday nite everyone!Urgh. And my stomach is grumbling. No,no, I must not eat.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

I'm so miserable right now. I got EIS test tomorrow. And my parents are planning a trip this June to London, we already got the tickets but no place to stay!I've never been to London when it's summer, and I'm really really looking forward to its summer sales right now!!

Wishes...

I WISH...

1)Nando's has healthier options for sidelines...instead of those high-in-saturated fats(but delicious) peri chips and mediterranean rice.

2)Sushi King opens a branch near my house.

3)my mum would stop buying junk food. She loves buying chocolates and crisps and waited for about a month before eating them. Everytime I see those food, I feel so tempted to eat them. I wish that everytime she buys those junk food she would eat them immediately so I won't have to see them!

4)I have a treadmill at home. I hate those rich girls who have treadmills in their room, just for the sake of showing off that they're fit, but never uses them! If I have one, I'll run 200km every day!OK,I'm just exaggerating.

5)I can travel! I need to get out of Malaysia, there's no more cute bags here anymore.

Review on Baskin Robins, TGI Friday, Auntie Anne, Carl's Jr

I woke up this morning, feeling all motivated and excited to transform my blog into a nutrition website. I gave up halfway while searching through the nutrition food labels. There are LOTS of food to go through and I'm just so so lazy.Anyway, I managed to review a few types of food. I'll update more on other food types soon.
-TGI Friday Potato Skin-

-My fav Baskin Robins Rainbow Sherbet ice cream-
-Baskin Robins Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Asye's Fav!-
OK, I'm too lazy to upload anymore food labels.
Here's what I found after browsing through many food labels:
CARLS JR.
I searched for Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger. It has about 920kCal and is high in saturated fats. Even if I share with my bf and split the burger into half, it still has a lot of calories--460kCal. Chilli Cheese Fries also contains 920kCal. No way I'm eating at Carls Jr. again.
AUNTIE ANNE'S PRETZELS
My favourite almond pretzels contains 400kCal. Omg! Can't believe a piece of pretzel contains that much calories! Another favourite of mine, the Dutch Ice has approximately 200kCal and is high is sugar.
MCDONALDS & KFC
Go read the nutrition information that they give away for free.

Calorie Counter

Came across this calorie counter website. Searched about Nando's. I'm addicted to Nando's, thanks to my mum, she's a loyal customer there.

Usually I would order 1/4 chicken leg + rice + peri chips...but lately I prefer 1/4 chicken leg + rice + coleslaw. I always order the leg part coz in comparison with the wing part, the wing part is bigger and thus, is more loaded with calories and fats right? Wrong! Read on...

-Quarter Chicken Leg & Thigh-
-Quarter Chicken Breast & Wing-


Yes I was right, the chicken breast calorie is higher than the chicken leg calorie...by 97kCal only!!! And surprisingly, the leg part has more fats, calories from fat and saturated fat than the wing part!!! OK, the carb content in wing is slightly higher by 0.1g...big deal *eyes rolling*. But the breast part has so much more protein in it!!!

I am so gonna eat the chicken wing after this. No more leg for me! No wonder all those fitness gurus insisted on eating chicken breast rather than leg.

OK Here are the total calories I consumed everytime I eat at Nando's:


1/4 chicken leg...346kCal


Rice......................223kCal


Coleslaw..............282kCal


TOTAL...............851kCal!!!!




OMG NO WONDER I'M SO FAT!!!

I heart skincare products

I've overcome my bag addiction (I think...). Everywhere I go, I see bags and I feel...nothing. These days people like bags that are made of leather with those ugly metal buckles. Eeeugrh. Where have all the cute bags dissappeared???
Anyway, I'm a beauty product junkie now. I'm so happy Kiehl's finally came to Malaysia!

Fav songs

Lately I've been feeling sharp pain in my right, left and lower abdomen. Was worried like hell, what if it's something serious? I told myself, no, it's just wind in the stomach. My mum said yeah, it's probably wind. She told me to rub this cooling balm on my stomach and guess what? The pain dissappeared. What a relief.

Anyway I'm so bored I guess I'll make a list of my fav songs...


1.Can't Fight This Feeling-Reo Speedwagon
2.Forever More-Puff Johnson
3.I Love You-Celine Dion
4.It Might Be You-Stephen Bishop
5.Just the Way You Are-Billy Joel
6.Love's Theme-Love Unlimited
7.Through the Fire-Chaka Khan

I'm so uncool coz I don't listen to the latest songs. But the latest songs are like crap. You call that MUSIC??

I'm craving Kinder Bueno and cupcakes. Blame it on progesterone, the book says. Cupcakes at The Lawn,KLCC are better than Cupcake Chic, but it's a bit expensive though.

Beware of fillings! Prevent cavity!

Today I indulged in my favourite activity: SHOPPING for HEALTH BOOKS. As you all know, I'm a hypochondriac, a shopaholic and a bookworm. So that is why I had so much fun today!
At home, I started reading one of the books and it says that tooth filling can lead to infertility due to its mercury content. This is only for silver and black filling, the non-toxic white filling is harmless. So I told my mum to look into my mouth and tell me the color of my filling. It's really hard coz my filling is at the last tooth at the back. Mum said that she saw only white stuff.I said that's my tooth, not the filling. She insisted that my filling is white. I hope that is true. *Worry*Worry*

Concealer

My Clinique concealer is running low so I need a new one! I dunno which one to choose between these 3...

Benefit Erase Paste
A concealer that camouflages and brightens. The concentrated, creamy, blendable paste conceals target areas: dark circles, discolorations and flaws. With the special brightening shades, signs of stress and fatigue are a thing of the past! The jar is pretty cute too. The price is $26, around RM129 I think. I'm not sure if I wanna spend that much on a concealer.

Erase Paste comes with a fully illustrated step-by-step lesson. This stuff is so rich it needs its own scoop, so a mini spatula is included.

Bloom Concealer

Easy to apply, it's just like a lipstick. Cost about RM50 I think.

Red Earth Skin Perfection All-in-One Concealer

Conceals everything! Redness, dark circles, dark spots, flaws, uneven skin tone! Not sure about the price though.Have to find out first.

*Sigh* My mid term is this week, why am I surfting the Net about makeup??

Random

Gosh I love everything in Roxy but I don't like to buy them. Coz a)I'm 21, not 15 and b)practically everyone wears Roxy.
-----------------------------------
I wonder, why do the people who works at Dreamworld are lazy makciks? Too lazy to get up and lend blur first-timers a hand??
-------------------------------------
Thing that I'm into right now:
-Pastel colors
-Cupcakes!
-Raspberry viennies biscuits
-Jelly Belly
--------------------------------------
Important lessons learnt:
-Just because you look great with coloured contact lenses when you're a teen, doesn't mean that it'll still suits you when you're 21
-Never buy clothes that cost RM13.90. It will ruin after just one wash.
-----------------------------------------
God I hate it when I chat with ex-schoolmates and they're asking me where I live, and it turns out that they live just nearby and then tries to ask me in great detail where the exact location of my house is.

Grrr...

OK,first of all, I would like to say that I'm totally pissed off with Maxis coz I waited for hours for my bf to reply my sms, and when I sent him another sms, 3 messages came in all at the same time. Turned out that he HAD reply my sms and had been calling me, but thanks to Maxis, he wasn't able to reach me. Great.

TMNet is also lousy. Chatting is so hard coz sometimes the connection is very poor.

Today my mum and I went textile-shopping at Jln Tar. I'm into simple designs (small flowers, white background), got two Chinese silk for myself.One thing I don't like about Jln.Tar(or any textile shop) is they keep insisting you buy what they sell, and it makes you feel bad if you don't buy it. And when you've bought it, you walked down a little bit more, and you discover that another shop sells the same kind of material, but CHEAPER.

How they named the textile is influenced by current issues. Last time there was "Kain Mawi"...now there's Kain Angkasawan. Hahaha. The Angkasawan has tiny stardust all over it.
Gosh I'm so fat I have to quit living on a steady diet of Nandos.

Update

I know I should update my blog more often. I should’ve written about my disastrous first week of special sem. And followed by disastrous second week when I only lasted for one day there. About how my name have been called upon a few times in EIS class and all the dumb answers that I gave. That would be funny.

My ex-roomate still chases me up till now. Last night she even said she wanted to sleep over at my room. NO WAY. My new housemate, Dania laughed when she found out about this. “I think among all her roomates, she loves you the most,” she told me. Err rite. Scary.

My bf is going away to Cape Town this 29th of May. For 10days! I don’t know how I’m going to survive that 10days. This is his first real vacation since we’re together. Before this it was always me who went on overseas trip. I wanted to go on vacation too! Since I’m taking special sem, I’m only available in the middle of June onwards. My parents suggested that we go to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. I was like, hell no! It’s so depressing, I want to go somewhere outside Malaysia. My dad suggested Dubai as first choice, followed by London, but I know overseas trip isn’t going to happen. I hate my life. (Lost count of how many times I’ve said this)

But it’s true. I do hate my life (sometimes). I have no friends and I hang out with people who don’t even like me. They’re only pretending. I hate feeling lonely like this. Which is why I wanna have lots of kids in the future and be best friends forever with them. There’ll be a Nana Jr and Yasser Jr and I will teach them maths and science so that they’ll be geniuses in school (unlike me, I was hopeless at maths back in school.I want them to be better than me, with all the knowledge that I have now). We will do fun things together, like taking vain self-potraits, eating sushi, shopping, bowling, watching movies, TRAVELLING. Hihi...I can’t wait!

I'm fat...and I can't sms people

I hate the fact that I can no longer fit into all the kebaya which I had since I was 16.
Since I turned 21, I think my body is morphing and I don't like it.
I think last two sems I was 43kg and the following sem I gained about 6kg and hasn't been able to slim down since :(
Waaa why change so fast??Another thing I don't like is that I feel like I'm living in the 17th century. Internet connection at my house is really bad, I can't download songs, chatting is sometimes not possible either. Surfing the web is even worse, it takes ages to open a webpage. And lately people cannot call me and I can't send sms coz according to Maxis, there's some "disturbance" whatsoever at my area. Pfft! I'm so bored I have no connection to the outside world!!
