Monday is Bongo Day

Oh gosh how long has it been?? I apologize (even to myself) for not having the time to do anything here.. I've been bogged down by exams and assignments it was not funny.. And as you can see, it ended today so here i am :) Anyway, there's not much to share this time, only 3 things:

[1] I'm trying to get a Lomo Camera! (woohooo) yup. I found a few candidates online, even the Diana and Diana Mini!

[2] My amazing friend, Joanne(i prefer calling her Sioky/Siokz haha) shared with me this amazing website : Eat Drink Chic please check it out it's awesome, it covers interior decorating, design, and fashion.

[3] another website I found through Apartment Therapy is Elle Decor :) by the name of the site, you would know it's all about interior...I'm an interior decorating and designing junkie (although I don't know much, I love to look at the photos and dream of some day having my house look like them)

aahh..getting super overdosed on Lomography now..

oh one more thing, i learnt something cool from my classmate 2 weeks ago. She got this tip from her lecturer. "Make it simple, but not simpler". It comes in handy when you're doing assignments and presentations :)

peace and love,

Reality Check

Ok, it's back to uni and back to the real world.

It really felt like I was in a whole other fantasy world during the holidays, which doesn't help ease the pain of getting back to the straight line..

This new year 2010 (Happy New Year, all!) I plan to do damn well in my studies..by hook or by crook. No buts, maybes, shits, oops, etc.

I plan to kick my course's ass to the moon.

That means new things/elements must be added to my life (or at least tried out or exercised):

(1) Study timetable

(2) Expenses + food intake diary

(3) Follow rules (1) and (2).

Thankfully, I did a good deal of exercise/outdoorsy stuff so now that I'm back, I get restless every evening to go out and burn some fat(or calories, whatever.)

oh oh, News Flash! I've rediscovered cycling!! omg it's so damn fun. can't wait to do it again. There's a place about half an hour from my place where we could rent bicycles and cycle the whole day or something. Yay! Can't hardly wait.

This year, my New Year's Resolutions aren't that much..

-Do better in studies.

-Get fit and healthy.

-Dress better for Uni.

-Initiate (anything).

-Practice piano like hell.

-Be a better daughter to my parents, and granddaughter to my grandparents.

b.t.dubs, stumbled upon another blog : notebookdoodles check it out! it'll make your day =)

pretty much it..

peace and love,

welcome back, me

wow, Europe was eye-opening.

(but isn't it always?)

everyone keeps asking me "how was Paris? how was Europe?"

I'm really at a loss for words..I just say "goooood"

all I can really say is..it's not what I expected..

BUT-you can't complain about the scenery..the countryside..oh.my.gawdd.

it is to die for.. that's one thing I love about Europe..or maybe the Western countries.

The scenery. The green. The white. Breathtaking.

capturing it on camera is not doing it justice but that's the least a traveler can do.

On my trip though, I learned/discovered a few things:
Jack Kerouac (although he's American)

Josephine Baker (also American at first)

Italians are worse than the French

I'm not used to the winter too well..

Paris is quite dirty, sadly.

I'm too sluggish to post any photos here cos even doing it on facebook is so taxing..

I'll be off to Krabi, Thailand for New Years on the 30th (woohoo!)

looking forward to that..

I'll leave you now with this song which sounded extra awesome while i was on the road :)

I met the Walrus

Check this out guys :)

Paris, j'arrive!

Wow, I feel like the worst sloth in the world..It's been too long since I last posted :(

feeling really bad...

My excuse: it's the holidays..I tend to do nothing but watch lotsa tv

(more like tv shows on the computer..)

It's about 2 days to my flight to Paris.

Yay!!

My mum, aunt, aunt's friend, and me will be going on a 7-day tour after being in Paris for 2 days

We'll be going to Italy - Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence...; Switzerland - Basel..; Monaco - Monte Carlo; and also other places in France like Cannes (!!!!), Nice (!!)

Aaahh this would be my first time in Europe and first time ever going on tour while I'm there :)

Oh, I will be visiting Disneyland too! should be awesome

I will tell you much more about it after I've come back from Paris, def ;)

On another note, I've come across more beautiful websites =)

Enjoy these:
