Hi
.
.
.
What an awkward start to today's entry. I usually start off my blogs with the first word that comes into mind because I don't like to make it so unrealistic like I'm a great blogger/writer. I am just being normal and typing out my life situations and experiences.
So recently, as we all know, it was Christmas. Merry Belated Christmas everyone. This Christmas wasn't as exciting as the previous years. Actually, the previous Christmases weren't that exciting either. But the food was quite enticing.
Again, I didn't do much on Boxing Day either. I didn't go out to pick up cheap items like the rest of the world did but what I did that I hope is far more special was to eat home made vanilla ice cream that I made on Christmas. It was meant to be our Christmas dessert but unfortunately, it wasn't frozen enough and it was still soft and not quite frozen so instead I had it as my afternoon tea on Boxing Day. The texture was really soft and firm and it just melted in my mouth. It was a bit too sweet I admit but by far, I think that was the only fault for my first go. Next time, I want to try making another flavoured ice cream. What do you say? Perhaps green tea ice cream. I feel so happy that I actually put an effort to make something for my family for Christmas because I rarely do and considering it's my first time making that ice cream, I feel like congratulating myself for my efforts.
Being born in a family that isn't very outgoing, I was... I could describe it as being forced to stay home because I am by far the most outgoing person in the family. I don't even know how that gene could have been within me because neither of my parents are as outgoing as me. They like what is called 'Home Sweet Home'. Home is good. But too much home is too boring. In my opinion that is. Anyway, the point of that mindless rant was that because I am seen as a 'home girl', I personally developed a habit of 'creating things' when I am bored. By 'creating things', it can be making cards. Now tell me, who sits at home and make cards? Out of a large population, I'd say a handful because of the advanced technology and the laziness that people have developed. I, on the other hand, like to make cards for friends. I mean, friends who would appreciate a hand made/ purchased card. I find it very rude and impolite to bin cards that others have given them. But anyway, I made Christmas cards for my friends and family which took days and days and days. Patience was required however, 60% of the time, I defy that nature. I am quite impatient but I guess, if it comes from the heart, it's worth it. It really is like saying, if you admire someone, say your partner, you'd do anything for them. I thought that was a joke when I first heard of it but until you actually experience it, that saying tells truth about how much they care and appreciate them.
Anyway, I am going to leave it at this point and this will probably be the last post for 2012.
Happy New Year and look forward to 2013.

Welcoming myself back :)
WELCOME BACK !!! to another journey with me :)
It has been more than a month since I have blogged but i have honestly been busy and 5% lazy in posting a new post but i made it. here i am sitting in front of the screen typing away.
guesses on what the subject may be today? well i dont know either. i just want to type away...about my life? nah kidding. all of yous that know me know i dont have much to encounter in life besides what had happened in the last month.
HONG KONG!?! yep, you got it. who wouldnt post about their holiday. well i would for sure. i was meant to keep a travel journal with me and write it in daily whilst i was in HK but guess what, it's still empty even though i've been back here for more than a week now. i have been busy...and 5% lazy...like i stated before.
but here i am, wanting to share to you all about my trip.
to me, i'll describe it with simple words- life experience.
it sounds like ive never been overseas or something now. i have but it all seemed very different this time. the last time i left this country was about 4 years ago and more recently, 2 weeks ago. maybe because i am older now and somewhat more mature to understand the things i do to an extent.
honestly, the holiday was amazing as far as how excited i may sound here but it was simply amazing. friends ask, 'so how was your holiday in hk?'. i didnt even know how to answer them because it was soo good.
what did i do? nothing.... just living a normal lifestyle in hk like everyone else is. how is that fun, the way you describe it to be? well, like i said, it was an experience. you gotta experience it to know what it really was like for me.
it was like a stress reliever after a whole year of mess from family to relationships to uni. it was all a collage of mess.
right after my exam, a day or two, i left to hk on my own and i was obviously very nervous and excited that i was going to fly by myself. i was scared too, like what happens if the plane crashes and ill just be alone, away from my family but i didnt wanna jinx it of course so i stopped thinking about that and think 'screw everything and everyone in australia, i will just have my own definition of fun and will return to the mess later on'. that was pretty much on my mind the day i was departing to HK. with my positive motive, i aimed to have the most awesome-est holiday and that was the ''funnest'' part of 2012 to be honest, although it is almost coming to its end.
The lifestyle i lived through was pretty much the same everyday. Jetlagged. wake up late. breakfast. go out until night. dinner. drama. sleep. boring huh? well wait to you read this.............. DISNEYLAND, KOREAN BUFFET, WESTERN BUFFET, SHOPPING, CHEAP MARKETS, FREE WIFI, EATING MACCAS AT 10PM, SEEING ASIAN CELEBRITITES etc etc etc. jealous yet? i hope you are so you are keen to read on hahaha
well first of all, disneyland was just aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome man!!! i got to see pooh and his friends. i got to even visit his place. and go on an adventure ride with pooh. i know this all sounds very childish and suitable for kids under 12 but who said Disneyland and its animation had an age limit? SAID NO ONE EVER :)
and buffet....and shopping... all was so goddamn cheap. it was because the currency was so damn good. guess i was one time lucky then :)
and what else? free wifi. free wifi just downstairs at maccas from my apartment. how good is that. unfortunately i could not scab free wifi whilst i was 14+ storeys high from maccas since maccas was an underground restaurant, like most typical shops and dining places.
what i learnt from the last day in hong kong, the day of my departure back home was that even the ugliest could do us a good favour and be so nice. well the ''non fiction'', ''real-life'', ''based on real events'' story goes like this:
i was at this restaurant just downstairs from the apartment because i wanted to eat Won-Ton Noodles with HK style milk tea. that's like the traditional type of food every tourist and locals must eat. if you dont like it, please get out. anyway, i was at the restaurant and it was packed because it was late afternoon where every one would have gotten out of their beds and made an effort to have an afternoon tea. it was something all asians in HK do. sooo getting back to the point, I was at the restaurant and it was busy but luckily we got one spare table to ourselves, without having to share with someone else (because that's typical in hk where there are restaurants that are as big as your living room). however, the table we got was next to this old man, tanned to the max, ugly as a troll. god i am so mean but that was the best description i could give. we were seated and the whole time we were trying to order food to eat, he was still staring at us. i was searching around the restaurant whether there was another table but sadly, no. so i was stuck with that freak. my order came in fresh within a few minutes and i got a HK style milk tea. a glass bottle of sugar was placed in the middle of the desk and as i reached for it, i could ''feel'' that freak was still staring at me.... i was kind of annoyed but i tried to ignore him since i dont want some stranger ruin my last day in hk. so i poured sugar in... nothing came out. i shaked the glass bottle and only a sprinkle of sugar came out. i was like omg..... kajfkjasdfkjhas wth. THEN it was like a prince charming coming to rescue my little annoyance. the freak that said next to us said 'lady, the glass bottle must have something stuck in the hole. here, use this one' and he grabbed the sugar that was placed on his table and handed it over to me. ' here, give that wreckless one to me and i'll tell them''. i handed the 'wreckless sugar bottle' to him. he placed it gently back in the spot on his table. i took a quick glimpse of the new sugar bottle and without trouble, the sugar poured out. i felt kind of awkward.. and so i looked at the 'prince charming' and said thank you for your help.
JOKES. he wasnt the prince charming. ew. *spews* but that was legit. that wasn't a part taken out of a novel. it happened.
so what i learnt was that, 'no matter how ugly someone is, they could be a hand to you when you are in trouble'.
i was still thinking about that 'prince charming' when i got to HK International Airport and was like, good men who have good deeds will receive good returns. a small event that i encountered could be a huge impact.
ok enough of the whole corny and cheesy and whole prince charming stuff...... HK was so good. i recommend it....but dont ever drive in HK. it is so dangerous. like everyone is always so busy and rushing that even when they try to intersect and go into your land, they are like 1 mm away from the front of your car and they are still trying to get in the lane. like seriously, they dont care... and it seemed scary to me because in Australia, you dont get any of that. if you dont let someone into your lame, all you get back is a rude finger back at you, not a damaged car...which is kind better.
anyway. i will stop blabbering now and allow you to leave my blog although i'd like to keep you all here to be ''entertained'' by my numerous stories of prince charming entering my life. kidding!!! LOL
btw, hope you all like the new template design i have chosen today. at least this one is not so messy and more simple than my previous one if you remember.
have a good day & night :)

dear diary?
I don't even know what to talk about today so I decided to title it as 'Dear Diary'. Why? I have no clue. Maybe because I feel like there is a lot to say that I can't explicitly and directly state in my blogs however today, I don't think I can contain my real self in my actual self anymore. That was a trippy sentence yeah?
BUT you see, I don't want to make it a habit to have emotional stories here because that is just too boring. Like who goes away depressed everyday. I did once upon a time but that's history. However, I have came up with this poem that I would like to share and here it goes:-
BUT you see, I don't want to make it a habit to have emotional stories here because that is just too boring. Like who goes away depressed everyday. I did once upon a time but that's history. However, I have came up with this poem that I would like to share and here it goes:-
When all is gone
To show how i feel
And over the hill
I could see the cloudy sky
Making me wanna fly
Away from the hurtful times
As the clock chimes
And every minute passes by
I just wanna try
To get back up on my feet
To feel the beat
Of my broken heart
Is it time to part....
Forever
And never
touch and feel each other
Its a shame
That those compromises
Were the promises
We kept and now its all gone
I cannot sleep until its dawn...
So I shall leave it here. Yes, I know it's a short poem but sometimes lengthy paragraphs doesn't make everything interesting.
the end~

Winning isn't everything~
30OCT12~
another tuesday. another day. another day of existence. another reason to live another glorious day. i didnt actually have a particular motive to type up a new post but i guess its what i call procrastination. however, i believe that it is pointless to post a blog if there is no particular topic to talk about because you might as well just go bury yourself underneath a blanket.
so for the past few days, i have been the usual on the outside but internally, there are still some questions unanswered.
almost everyday, i have been playing this online facebook game, 8 Ball Pool and its a multiplayer game so i play it with my dear friend, henry. however, today was different to every other time we have played the game. it seemed to be more amusing and i guess today, luck was on me. if i played pool in real life, i rarely win but i still enjoy playing it because it is really a time where you hang out with a large group and chill out at pool. its like a time where everyone meets once in a while. in my case, i think it is a very fortunate moment for all of us as friends to gather. so today, when henry and i played online pool, we discovered something. there was a logic to the game. whoever is solids, on most occassions, they will win. i can bet you on that. and when you see that the stripes are winning and they have to sink in the black ball, they ''magically'' miss or either both the white and black ball sinks. annnnnnnnnd..everytime we play, as expected, there were alot of WTF comments whenever one doesn't sink in their ball or when they lose.
so here i wanted to share a screen shot of our game so you'd be able to visualise what im saying as well:-

#27OCT12~ update~creativity~adoration
Another weekend has arrived again. i hate it. because after every week, i reflect and think 'what did i do this week'. counting the days i actually dedicated the time to study for my upcoming exams, it adds up to probably 6.5. thats 6.5 hours not including any lectures. i am quite disappointed but what can i do but .. blog about it? :)
notably, it has been hot for the last few days and its unsurprising. i mean, it is Queensland after all. However, the weather today isn't too bad with a few ghastly winds and also because i am staying at home, for once. no work to go to!
as an update to what i have been up to... whether you're interested or not, i shall continue.
this week is week 13 and indeed, it is the final teaching week of the uni semester and it was all about exam hints and revision. so besides uni, i had work on wednesday night which awfully dreading!
the following day, i was invited by the course convenor of this particular course, Employment Relations, to attend a short afternoon tea session with other fellow students. of course, it wasnt all the students who enrolled for this course was invited. only 12/483 students were selected to have this wonderful afternoon break. why? well, i guess it all starts from this very popular quote, 'no pain, no gain'. It was for students who achieved a High Distinction in Employment Relations. i must admit, i have worked particularly hard for it to be achieving such high results for my assessments so relating back to the quote, without the hard work i have put in, no special invitation from the course convenor. So what did we do? well, the course convenor invited us to a cafe that was located at the university and each one of us were shouted a drink and nibbles. i was surprised and felt kind of bad for having a course convenor who i felt like i was a stranger to, to be shouting me beverages and so i ordered a latte. it is my most favourable drink so i thought why not treat myself to a latte. it was great. the texture was incredibly smooth. goddamnit, couldnt get enough of it! anyway... we had a chill session where we talked about topics that were related to the course and our experiences in regards to employment. everyone had something to share so i was like trying to dig up some stories and experiences from where i work. it wasnt too bad. i made some new friends and learnt about everyones culture. it was definitely a worthwhile invite.
the next day (friday 26th), it was an incredibly hot steamy day. it was 33 degrees i heard but i reckon it was just beyond that! i had an early tutorial and i woke up a tad late for my bus. so i immediately jumped out of bed rushing to get ready and you can picture the rest of my rushed morning. by the time i finally got out of the house, i only had 10 mins till my bus came and usually it takes me 15 mins to walk to that bus stop. with my long speedy legs, i arrived there within 7 minutes. i was speed walking so fast to the point you couldnt figure out whether i was jogging or speed walking. but anyway, when i got to the bus stop.... i was huffing and puffing and finding shade to chill until the bus came. i stood there and waited and waited and waited. can you believe it?! IT WAS LATE T_T like really!?!? after i broke the record of arriving there within 7 minutes, it was late. by the time the stupid bus came, it was already 8:35am and it was 13 minutes late. i was kinda annoyed that i didnt even say HI to the bus driver when he said HI. oh wells. so blahh blahh...on my way to uni with the comfort of a weak aircon. so that was my morning adventure.
In the afternoon on the same day, it was still hot. i couldnt help it but text shelly 'i want ice cream'. so yep, we went and got desserts along with Tai. We went to Fusion Cafe in Robertson because from memory, their desserts are so godlike! I had Grass Jelly with condensed milk with green tea icecream. i thought one scoop of ice cream was enough considering how much sugar it has but this shelly, had grass jelly with condensed milk WITH vanilla icecream WITH green tea icecream WITH red beans. the counter chick got so confused by her order even and we spent a good 15 minutes trying to explain to her the correct order. we were not satisfied with the service but who cares, they really have good desserts! oh and i forgot to mention, tai got some chicken and rice thing. the food was served quite quick and we immediately gulped down our dishes. well we didnt really gulp... anyway, so we spent a good hour and a bit hanging out and eating before i had a lecture at 6pm. yep, it sucks to have classes on a friday night however, that will be the last for this semester! :) yep, so shelly drove me to uni. it will certainly be a month and a bit before i reunite with most of the 'people i know of'.
and today? today, i woke up at 8am to do the laundry because dad doesnt know how to do the laundry which makes me lol a bit but yeah... i was bored, knowing that i had to study. it was kind of my goal for today but i think i'll just let it go :) and so i was bored... and guess what i did.
THIS:
the original picture was photographed by myself. the editing and photoshop was also completed by myself. what led me this sort of creativity? well, i dont photoshop or edit pictures because i am just that lazy and natural is good. well it really was because it related to 2 dreams i have had. one was some time ago and the other was last night. well i'll tell you guys a very short story and here it goes:-
this guy and girl. same age. got together. dated. girls parents disliked it. guys parents were neutral. broke up. one formal event was going on. the both went and at that stage, they so called couple were not back together. until this very night. the guy leaned towards her and gave this girl a peck. she was astounded. why? - she thought. guy explained that she was 'the one'. girl was so happy because she had been hoping for this day to happen. the girl denied and said that there are heaps of other girls. the guy argued back and state once again that she was 'the one'. girl threw herself on her and the typical actions happen. the guy walked the girl, hand in hand, towards where his father was sitting and when they got there, the guy didnt speak. the father understood (since they were holding hands) and the father accepted that reality. the girl's parents happen to randomly pop up and gave their daughter a deadly evil stare. BOOOM! the end.
this other story i wanted to share goes very similar like the one just told:-
this guy. this girl. same age. got together. dated. girls parents disliked it. guys parents were neutral. broke up. they went to this religious place where they met each other again after a long period of time. the girl was playing with the younger children who like the girl very much. the guy decided to join and soon they were all playing happily. the guy talked to the girl about their previous relationship. the girl was being a good daughter and denied that it cant happen again because she knew her parents would dislike it so much. the guy denied and said nothing else mattered and jumped for her and gave her a peck. the girl gave in for a bit. then retracted back to her normal self ... but what happened next? BOOM! the end - mystery is left for the future to discover.
So, those are my 2 stories i wanted to share. it sounds cliche but dreams are dreams. so back to the photo, that was a quote from Winnie The Pooh, a character i love very much since i was a child and until now, i adore him. the quote really relates to me and i cant express it enough through a picture, words or action. yet, the future is left for itself to uncover the real truth.
I shall leave it to here and i will get back as soon as possible after i have satisfied myself with the study i plan to do.
PS: i am devastated because i dont have the camera to take pictures for a while because my mum took it with her overseas. and my phone has crap picture quality however, i try to post one picture for every new post. && perhaps share your views in the comments? :)
again, i really appreciate the time the readers took to read this. ty

In the afternoon on the same day, it was still hot. i couldnt help it but text shelly 'i want ice cream'. so yep, we went and got desserts along with Tai. We went to Fusion Cafe in Robertson because from memory, their desserts are so godlike! I had Grass Jelly with condensed milk with green tea icecream. i thought one scoop of ice cream was enough considering how much sugar it has but this shelly, had grass jelly with condensed milk WITH vanilla icecream WITH green tea icecream WITH red beans. the counter chick got so confused by her order even and we spent a good 15 minutes trying to explain to her the correct order. we were not satisfied with the service but who cares, they really have good desserts! oh and i forgot to mention, tai got some chicken and rice thing. the food was served quite quick and we immediately gulped down our dishes. well we didnt really gulp... anyway, so we spent a good hour and a bit hanging out and eating before i had a lecture at 6pm. yep, it sucks to have classes on a friday night however, that will be the last for this semester! :) yep, so shelly drove me to uni. it will certainly be a month and a bit before i reunite with most of the 'people i know of'.
and today? today, i woke up at 8am to do the laundry because dad doesnt know how to do the laundry which makes me lol a bit but yeah... i was bored, knowing that i had to study. it was kind of my goal for today but i think i'll just let it go :) and so i was bored... and guess what i did.
THIS:

"Some people care too much. I think it's called love" - quoted from Pooh Bear |
this guy and girl. same age. got together. dated. girls parents disliked it. guys parents were neutral. broke up. one formal event was going on. the both went and at that stage, they so called couple were not back together. until this very night. the guy leaned towards her and gave this girl a peck. she was astounded. why? - she thought. guy explained that she was 'the one'. girl was so happy because she had been hoping for this day to happen. the girl denied and said that there are heaps of other girls. the guy argued back and state once again that she was 'the one'. girl threw herself on her and the typical actions happen. the guy walked the girl, hand in hand, towards where his father was sitting and when they got there, the guy didnt speak. the father understood (since they were holding hands) and the father accepted that reality. the girl's parents happen to randomly pop up and gave their daughter a deadly evil stare. BOOOM! the end.
this other story i wanted to share goes very similar like the one just told:-
this guy. this girl. same age. got together. dated. girls parents disliked it. guys parents were neutral. broke up. they went to this religious place where they met each other again after a long period of time. the girl was playing with the younger children who like the girl very much. the guy decided to join and soon they were all playing happily. the guy talked to the girl about their previous relationship. the girl was being a good daughter and denied that it cant happen again because she knew her parents would dislike it so much. the guy denied and said nothing else mattered and jumped for her and gave her a peck. the girl gave in for a bit. then retracted back to her normal self ... but what happened next? BOOM! the end - mystery is left for the future to discover.
So, those are my 2 stories i wanted to share. it sounds cliche but dreams are dreams. so back to the photo, that was a quote from Winnie The Pooh, a character i love very much since i was a child and until now, i adore him. the quote really relates to me and i cant express it enough through a picture, words or action. yet, the future is left for itself to uncover the real truth.
I shall leave it to here and i will get back as soon as possible after i have satisfied myself with the study i plan to do.
PS: i am devastated because i dont have the camera to take pictures for a while because my mum took it with her overseas. and my phone has crap picture quality however, i try to post one picture for every new post. && perhaps share your views in the comments? :)
again, i really appreciate the time the readers took to read this. ty

#22OCT12~
dear people reading this,
how you may have stumbled across my updated post, i appreciate it either way. however, this blog's purpose is to keep a track of my life events and a place for me to express my feelings and all.
lets get started. you may have realised that there are all these punctuation and grammar problems here but i am feeling very lazy at the moment.
i am currently sitting at a study desk on level 2 at uni library staring out at a view of nature, unsurprisingly.
so what has everyone been up to? well ive got my own story to tell.
work...work...sleep..work. uni. mmm sounds about right however i'd like to share what i had for afternoon tea with my dad at Cafe Mi.
Indeed, that is my afternoon snack. HK style milk tea is probably one of my favourite drink because tea that is brewed has a really strong 'tea' taste and how it gives you that wonderful bitter tea taste. and milk tea is just heavenly soothing. next to my cup of HK style milk tea is the SPAM ham and egg sandwich. i love spam ham so much and it mixes in with egg cooked in anyway so perfectly. they're made for one another, really. It was so good and i couldnt get enough out of it!
To be honest, i dont know why dad took me to eat afternoon snack because he dislikes eating out and think restaurant food is expensive, unhealthy etc but he picked me up from work on Saturday and was like, lets go eat afternoon tea. astounded as i was, i followed him. and also because the relationship between my dad and i arent that intimate, i was more astounded. however, it was a great time and all and i hope in the near future, we'd be able to eat out and i guess, have a family bonding time :)
What i also cant get enough out of is this wonderfully sung music peace: Be Your Everything - Boys Like Girls
so that's the artistic highlight for the past week.
hmm, whats next, oh yep. so i mentioned previously that i am at the library now. well prior to that i had a 8am lecture. i was very attentive in that lecture only because it was the revision lecture and usually the lecturer gives out some hints for the finals. so indeed, i focussed so hard that i thought i was going to reward my deadly cravings which was FISH AND CHIPS.
so after my lecture, i immediately made my way down to the food place and bought fish and chips. it wasnt that expensive, $6, considering i was satisfying my cravings and stomach so thats alright. so it was 10am when i have finally found a study desk. i was like so excited so i took a picture of my fish and chips meal :)
hmm, what else do i have left to share with you all?!
i know this is a relatively long post but i missed you all so much so i thought you guys should just keep up with my life for the sake of it hehe
oh yeah, do you like these stickers?
These stickers glow in the dark really well. its from the cartoon called Hotel Transylvania. i havent watched it yet, i probably wont get to anytime soon but i heard it was pretty hilarious. i dont know. the last movie i watched was Bait. It was about shark attacks and omg, long story but getting back to the point of these cool glow in the dark stickers. one night, i was heading to bed right..so i turned off the lights and all. jumped into my bed and from the corner of my eye, i saw something light up. i literally just dived through and hid underneath my blanket. i was scared myself. my heart was racing, thinking, did i just see a ghost or something. i am not being dramatic here. it was like a trauma! then i realised.....those glow in the dark stickers. so i got out of my bed and turned on the lights to examine them. i was kind of fascinated, not saying ive never seen glow in the dark stickers before but they just shone so bright!!
but lastly, i would like to share to you all, I AM CRAVING FOR NACHOS MELTED WITH CHEESE AND CREAMY CORN SOUP.

Another unproductive afternoon.
Good Afternoon all. I am back again with another blog post because it is kind of getting addictive and I do want to try keep posting for you all who read it! :)
My day has unsurprisingly been wasted once again because I have simply been youtubing and was only focused for like half an hour at the very most! However, I call that an achievement alright. I should really get studying because I have 3 separate assessment items held next week and I am certainly not looking forward. One is an oral worth 20% and the rest are just quizzes that I have to study for. I really need to get going don't I? =/
However, this blog isn't about me whinging about my poor efforts but to share to you guys that I had KFC at about....11pm last night. Yes, I do feel very fat and bloated after I ate it and considering I work there, it sounds kind of depressing. You would think I'd get sick and tired of the chicken and the smell but I really love eating chicken! That's all I can say.
I even took a photo for you's because it might be mouth-watering to you :)
The oil on it is simply fattening but oh wells. I haven't had KFC for at least a month now. Drumsticks are my favourite part of the chicken. It is just so gooooooood! Mouth-watering?
I was eating that piece of chicken whilst studying last night. It was some sort of motivation, really :P
That was really all I wanted to share today however I have a whole list left to go but that's alright, there's always tomorrow.
Toodles ♥

greetings, everyone! :)
To my dearest blog,
Oh how much I have missed you since the last time we came in
contact. I recall that it has been 1.5 years since I have blogged and I have
missed you badly enough to start posting a new blog for the world to view and
reflect.
Today's date is 17 October 2012 and personally, this special date has marked a special moment in my life however that will not be shared any further.
So today, I woke up at 10.30am. I was so tired and lazy to get up and maybe it was because I slept at 2am. So what what was I even doing up so late? Well, I have a legitimate reason alright. If I did not stay up that late, I would not be blogging right this very second and doing whatnot. Might I mention, the reason why I came back to blogging was because of Paul's little motivation to drive me to blog again, to give life to my very own blog after what seemed like a century.
You might think how does Paul and blog relate? Well it did. He started his new blog after a year or so with its purpose of uploading pictures with his new professional Sony camera in which he is a very dedicated and loving parent to. After viewing his most recent snapshots, I was motivated to start blogging. I wanted to start anew with my blog and let the world know I am alive.
So here it is. The first blog in years! I was thinking before I even started this post, 'What should I write about? I don't want to bore people about my life'. And so I decided to take a selfie. Oh my god. I have not taken a selfie for a while now and damn, I was even shy to look at my own face! I took numerous shots and I was thinking to myself, wow, I have grown up so much! I mean, look at my face....it's not that chubby anymore. Talking about that, there goes the first point about the benefits of blogging.

Selfie- Yes, my fringe is up because it is so damn hot today! And because I slept so retarded, my fringe was not....'behaving well'. |
To be honest, I was even shy to upload a selfie! But now it's uploaded, enjoy :)
Must I congratulate myself for taking my time to blog finally as I have self-promised. In the near future, I will try to blog just so I have some sort of time to waste but yet also, to show you more on my life journey. Future posts will vary from poems I have written up by myself to photos.
Stay tuned and enjoy life :) Thanks for reading peoples.
