Sand And Shoes

A pakcik with beer belly lay down in front of us and his wife started doing facial on him for reasons that escape me. He pulled up his shirt, lay down facing me and all is history. Two words: beached whale.

Despite the unfortunate event, the beach rocks anyway.

Back to Campus

Hey.

Just a short post by someone who’s about to be toast,

or roast under the hot sun at a place known as Tronoh.

I got my sunblock packed, my clothes in my backpack and also my snacks.

Hold my head up high just one more year, I’m a senior. Better get used to it while I’m down here.

Screw this. I’m posting pictures. Enjoy.

Dad got this as a freebie for attending some function. Naturally, I pounce on it the moment I saw the thing. I love freebies. Hee.

My Compaq CQ20 and the new laptop bag!

I decided that instead of buying a brand-new bag which costs around RM 250, (and yea I was ready to splurge, I worked hard for it) I scoured the second hand market and found just what I needed, for RM50.

Lately I’ve been an avid bargain hunter. Guess I’ve learned the value of money.

I’m ganna miss you, bed; and quality sleep.

FYI, I’m going to be a senior this semester. I just finished my 8 months internship and now going back to college. Truthfully I’ve no idea how to manage 4th year studies after abandoning academic books for 8 months. God help us all.

Dawn of A New Era

sunrise

I can't really say how I'm feeling right now. It's the end of another chapter. I'm just desperately clinging on to the very little days left before going back to college.


I love being back in KL. It's not that I don't like other places, but KL just feels like home. And you know I can be reallly homey. As if traveling Tronoh to KL every week isn't being homey enough.


So first thing to do out of college, apply for a job in KL, or Klang Valley; as long as I can stay home and within proximity of at least 3 malls.


I had a bad time when my family was abroad. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE. I got so homesick. I'd go home to an empty house during the weekend and start bawling on the floor, holding family member's t-shirts.


As if that's not bad enough, once I decided to sleep alone in my home. My grandma found out and so did my other relatives. They were constantly calling me to go to their houses.


Well I hated being pitied upon. I just wanted my dad, mom, and two brothers. So that night, I called my friend, telling her I needed a place to sleep. Couldn't make myself face grandma.


The next morning, grandma's maid told me that grandma was worried sick that she cried. And one uncle came to my house honking and telling me to follow him back home.


The drama of the whole situation was as high as my nose.


Funny thing is, before the whole moving-abroad thing, I couldn't wait to say chao to my parents. Going to college was a dream. I've been cooped up for too long and I wanted adventure. I wasn't much of a perfect daughter before the whole episode. I'm not saying I am now, because I'm not. Things have changed, I realize that I need my family to be near here.

To put it simply, I lost them for a while, and now I got them back. It was 2 and half years. It's like what they say, we can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness. Mind you, I didn't create that quote.


So anyway, I wanna apologize for this somewhat sadistic post. Next time should be a bit sunny. Anyway, I’m learning how to cook! I know Yay me. Update later.

Take care~

Never Can Say Goodbye

Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...

Tell me why
Is it so

That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Evertime I think I had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
That pierces me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more


Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let yo go

I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish, there's that doubt
*It's that same old dizzy hang up
*Can't live with you or without

Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go

Cute Laptop Bags, People

Hi, happy weekend peeps. First of all, please do add me on twitter because what better way to stalk me! I dunno, these days its pretty much easy to stalk on people with the internet and everything.

The other day I stalked on my company’s ex-managing director. Yeah. Because I got nothing better to do. So I typed in his name (SHH it’s a secret) and googled it and turns out he has a facebook account and I added him. Till this day, my request is still being ignored.

You know I feel that the air now is polluted that sometimes I get choked by imaginary very dirty air. What with the forest burning, AH1N1, the greenhouse effect, the car exhaust smoke, I mean are you kidding me? Who hasn’t gotten sick? Are you superman? Captain America? Mr Fantastic? Mrs Fantastic?? –_-!

I’ve been coughing for one week now and I swear everytime I sneak a little cough in the bookstore or at work, people just move an inch away from me; as if I don’t notice it. Oh I NOTICE. I don’t have Hinie people, get over it. That’s me and my friends’ nickname for the infamous flu virus ‘cos it sounds cuter that way. Put on your masks if you get paranoid like me. But do ignore the stares. They just haven’t realized that we live breathing in air with viruses!

I apologize for the long winded opening. Just wanted to update update update. So I’ve been scouring the internet for cute laptop bags (because in real-life they aren’t as colorful. But they do exist) and I came across sO many gorgeous ones that I have to share!

One of my first finds is by Gin & Jacqie called Candy Stripe Paul.

Paul2-600

This bag is more like a laptop cover than a bag actually. If you need to put your laptop into a case before putting it in your bag, then this is the perfect one! They’ve got 3 colors, but this one is my favorite because the color reminds me of candy and all things fun. There’s 2 sizes which is the 15” (RM 49.90) and 13” (RM 42.00) inches for your different sized laptops. Don’t tell me they’re expensive because really, what’s not these days? Which one do you prize more—quality or price. I’d say it’s worth it. Wait till you see the prices of the other bags. Muahaha.

Another one is called Stylish Carrie and this one costs RM 229.00 and it is in fact, a real bag.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         What I like about this is that it has a big space for the laptop wires, plus stationeries, handphone, books and other junks we might wanna carry. I think we can even fit in a little teddy bear inside, you know, if that’s your cup of tea.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         Look at how spacious this is!!

Another Stylish Carrie variation.

As if these bags aren’t gorgeous enough, I had to go and dig deeper into laptop bag heaven and I’m glad I did, because I found the beautiful collection of Charis Asher.

The Charis Asher collection looks very sturdy and elegant. I said ‘looks’ because I’ve never seen it in front of me, nor have I touch it. I’m really relying on my sight, reviews and gut instinct here.

The collection knocked me off my feet. Seriously. I have an idea of which one I’m ganna get myself, but I’m not telling. Just wait and see!

I just wanna thank the kind, creative and CLEVER people out there who designed gorgeous laptop bags that makes up for the laptop heaviness and that I don’t have to lug around a big bad black nylon sack and really makes me look forward to get that laptop to replace my beloved big-screen desktop!!!!!!
