Melaka + Gum

Hey guys!

I just got back from Melaka two days ago and the best thing about Malaysia is that whatever you buy, you get to divide it by 2.5 so everything is so much cheaper.

Sadly, I didn't really get a lot of things because my family wanted to do things other than shopping so the all but one of the things I got were semi-edible (gum). I think the only thing I bought that isn't edible is my brand spanking new Captain America t-shirt.

Ignore my ugly face

I guess this means I have to go watch Captain America: The First Avenger now. In my defence, I've been putting it off because I think it is going to be really sad.

Speaking of movies, I watched two while in Melaka, I watched The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug on Friday. You should have seen me rushing to watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey before I could go and watch the movie. We even went for a midnight show and got back to the hotel around 2 a.m. Now, I really want to rewatch the movie because it was bloody excellent.

I'm actually going out on Boxing Day with my friends and I wanted to watch The Hobbit again but I was outvoted because everyone wanted to watch Frozen. Hmph.

If you can't tell, I'm not a huge Disney fan.

Anyway, the second movie I watched was 47 Ronin. It's a pretty straightforward movie, based on a true story of 47 ronin, but 100% more embellished since the director threw in a dragon, a witch, demons and other supernatural stuff.

And the funniest thing that happened during The Hobbit is that at one part, gigantic spiders were featured and at one point, one of it jumped out of nowhere and it was quite obvious that it was going to happen but my father freaking jumped out of his seat and I still can't stop laughing.

Now to the more important part of this post.

You know how there is this thing where if kids don't really get to eat sweets when they're young, when they grow up, they will become sugar addicts?

That is me, except instead of sweets, I am a gum addict.

In 1992, a gum ban was imposed and the import of chewing gum was halted. So if I want gum, I'll have to wait anywhere from 6 months to a year until I can go back to Melaka and buy as much gum as I want.

I finished my last stick of gum yesterday and it was in those 5 packet things with 12 sticks inside. I finished 8 sticks on the very same day I bought it.

My dear darling gum which I have already finished

The packet still smells really minty.


[cries over lack of gum]

Just to be clear, I don't want the gum ban to be lifted. Mainly because Singaporeans can be quite childish and I imagine the whole sticking-the-gum-anywhere-I-bloody-want thing will still happen and frankly, I like the idea of not having gum everywhere.

Anyway, it is Christmas Eve today and I hope you are all having a wonderful time!

Daiso haul!

IT'S DECEMBER EVERYBODY!

*grabs party popper and attempts to pull the string*

How's your life today? Good?

So yesterday, I went to Daiso, because I needed a few things. Half of the items I bought were for crafts and the other half is simply for fun.

Now, if you don't know what Daiso is, Daiso is a Japanese store which sells goods, over 40% of which are imported from China. The best thing about them is that everything (in Singapore at least) is only $2! They achieve these low prices by purchasing all their stuff directly from manufactures in very high volume, which is something Walmart does as well.

Yes, I'm reading off Wikipedia.

They also vary their goods constantly, so customers will keep coming back. This also means that when someone recommends a product from Daiso, the same item may not be there anymore when you go yourself. However, the items I bought are likely to still be there when you go, considering that I have never seen these items vanish from their stores.

The store I went to is the one at Tampines 1. It is tucked away in the corner of the 3rd floor and is near Coffee Bean so if you are trying to find the store, just look for Coffee Bean and make your way there. Once you are there, it is impossible not to see Daiso.

Going by the order I found them, the first item I got was...

red felt!

In case you are wondering why I needed red felt, I wanted to make a fez. I'm not making it for any political or religious reasons, I just had the urge to cosplay the eleventh Doctor.

Yes, he is the man in the red hat. In case you were wondering,
the lady on his arm is his sort of dead wife.

My next item was...

colour pencils!

I've been drawing a lot lately and there is a shocking lack of drawing utensils in the house so I had to pop over to Daiso and get a few. No, I shall not show you my art because one, I don't think it is good enough for the web, two, they are mostly fanart.

The next item is...

a blue candle!

The smell is something called Blue Ocean and honestly, when it is not alight, it smells really good but if you ask me, I won't buy this particular one again. When you light a candle, one of the most important things is that it is not supposed to smoke. 

I'm not kidding when I say that every few seconds, a black wisp of smoke would emerge from the candle and I couldn't do my work because I was too busy staring at the flame. And neither is it meant to smell burnt, but this candle is not exactly following the rules, is it? Lastly, when I put it out, black smoke emerged from the candle.

*Glares at blue candle*

Not to mention I stood there at Daiso for a long time, just choosing a candle. I felt like an old woman.

And lastly, this item took forever to find...

a Christmas tree!

It's not decorated, mainly because I don't think it can handle the weight of baubles and stuff, but if I find a light one, maybe I will. I know it looks horrendous, but trust me when I say it is just the lighting, because it is really pretty.

*Gazes in admiration*

And that is all I got from Daiso! I'm not rich, I can't get a lot of stuff. These 4 items bankrupted me as it is. So Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whatever it is you are celebrating and I'll see you all soon.

Ciao, Sherlock Holmes.

Subject combination

Hi guys!

Two updates in a month but they are so far apart, it might as well be one month.

I got my subject combination around two weeks ago and I am very fortunate that I got my first choice.

It might also because I chose literature but practically no one else did because they hate the subject.

So my subject combination is SS/History,  Literature,  Chemistry and Physics. You all have no idea how glad I was when I realised that I didn't need to take geography. In fact, I am currently having a private party in which I set all my old (and now useless) Geography stuff on fire. It is very calming.

And flammable.

Chemistry is compulsory in my school and then you have to choose whether to take Biology or Physics the next year. I chose to take Physics instead of Biology because this year, there was quite a large amount of focus on Biology and my results just went pfft. So physics it is!

For the secondary 2 2014 batch, I would advise choosing subjects you like and can score well in. Whether you want a class you can enjoy class yourself in or a class you can score easily in is up to you.

For me, I chose my happiness over my marks. My Geography marks are actually better than the rest but I didn't choose it because I knew if I took such a class, I'll end up having a nervous breakdown. I really hate Geography.

The only part I chose marks over happiness was for my Physics and Biology but even then it doesn't really count because I am fine with both but I just don't feel like failing science next year.

According to my tutor, I might find myself failing my maths next year because it needs to have "a strong foundation" which none of my subjects have. If my subjects were buildings, I built them all on the titanic.

Let's just see how everything works out next year.

Ciao!

Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey...stuff

I think my blog has received a grand total of one view since I last checked...

Hello everyone! It is the month of November and that means that the school holidays are coming up, for primary school students that is. Secondary students have already started theirs and have since commenced the ritual of sleeping at 2 am and waking at 10 before going on Tumblr for the rest of the day. Wait, what's that? It's just me? Okay.

So what have I done so far? I watched many movies, mostly on my laptop..

Well, not all of them. I haven't watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Breakfast Club or War Horse. I also didn't watch either of the Star Trek movies, my Marvel movies or my Pirates of the Caribbean movies, because I already watched them before and also because I have the discs at home. Except Star Trek. I do not have Star Trek discs at home *cries in a corner*

Speaking of Marvel movies, has anyone watched Thor: The Dark World yet?

Before you ask, YES IT WAS FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. OMG, I loved it. Brilliant sequel to Thor and The Avengers. It's like reading the perfect fanfic, you know, there's angst and fluff and plot and smut.

Just kidding, there's no smut. But seriously though, go watch it. Then you can come back and cry over it with me.

Quick reminder: there are two post credit scenes. Yes, two. So remember to stay for both. I left early and I missed the last one urgh. Idiot Hui Ying.

What else? Hmm... there isn't that much left to say. The highlight of my holidays was watching Thor The Dark World. I am going to watch another movie soon, hopefully. I am broke after watching that. Not to mention I plan on hanging out with my friends as well.

I have 16 days left until I know my class allocation next year O_o

Also, I have discovered I have no talent when it comes to DJing. None, none at all. Haiz... here's an example of a good one. 

Pretty sure that's about it. I'll post again on the 22nd when I get my class allocation. Wish me luck! 

MY EXAMS ARE OVER

My exams are over! I did alright, for my standards.

Considering the fact it has been quite a while since I had an in depth discussion about my life with you (not that you actually want to know), I shall tell you what has been going on so far.

1) I became a hundred times more obsessed over Benedict Cumberbatch.
I mean, come on! Look at the man!

Gorgeous, need I say more?

2) I became obsessed with Tom Hiddleston.

Now here's the thing: when you've got the Cumbers-bumbers-wumbers (Simon Pegg's words, not mine), Tom Hiddleston is bound to pop up on your Tumblr now and again. They are both equally cute, and handsome and are usually the cause of many fangirls' ovaries exploding into tiny bloody pieces (lovely visual image, I know).

My not-so-healthy obsession with the man is due to the fact I watched Thor, as well as The Avengers, and Loki was literally just UNF in them. I have a problem, and it's that I prefer villains to the heroes themselves. This can be quite a problem when something tragic is going on and I'm just smiling inappropriately simply because the villain looks cute while killing.

Example: In The Avengers, Loki digs out some poor dude's eyeball and all I could think was: Wow, he's cute.

Loki, not the poor guy, I mean.

3) I've watched more movies in the past two weeks then I have in my entire 14 years of living.

Since my exams ended last Wednesday, I watched Thor, The Avengers and Star Trek: Into Darkness. I watched 3 and a half movies (the half is because I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides for a short while before going to sleep) in 3 days and while others are certainly capable of watching more movies in the same amount of time, I still find it incredible that I watched so many movies.

4) Speaking of Star Trek: Into Darkness, I became a trekkie and joined other fandoms as well.

Yes, I have joined others to become a trekkie. I don't think STID was that good of a movie and I felt that Star Trek, the first movie of the reboot series, was much better. I've also joined the Marvel fandom and now I'll have to update my Tumblr to show the new fandoms I joined.

5) My Tumblr underwent so many face lifts that I lost count.

Bit of a life lesson here: your Tumblr is YOUR own. Your Tumblr is essentially your life condensed into tiny pictures and gifs and manips and allowing others to dictate what your Tumblr should be like is equivalent of allowing others to dictate what your life should be like.

If you think your Tumblr is awesome, then it is fucking awesome. If you think you have the best Tumblr in the world, then goddamit, you have the best Tumblr in the world.

But let's not lie to ourselves, it is obvious I have the best Tumblr in the whole world.

6) I discovered I am unable to feel normally any more.

The fact that I do not ship 10 and Rose (referring to Doctor Who here) but still cried during Doomsday, when SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT 10 disappeared before being able to tell Rose he loved her, but did not cry during STID, when SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT that Captain Kirk died (don't worry, he came back to life) and that I am more attached to him than 10 and Rose, is rather worrying for me.

Not to mention, even though my exam results are fine, I still wanted to have a little weep when I came home (I didn't) and thought I would put Thor on and cry. Let me repeat myself, I wanted to watch Thor. Out of all the sadder movies I could have chosen, I chose Thor, which is essentially a comedy with violence thrown in at the end.

Point proven.

That's about it really, what I've been up to since I last had a nice long time to have a chat over a cup of tea (don't be stupid, Hui Ying. You still can't make a proper cup of tea) and discuss with strangers about my life.

Always remember, 42 is the answer to Life, the Universe and everything, and you should be fine till I see you next time. Bye!

Dead, dead, dead

Good God, it is already half way through September! You know what this means?

I've got 3 days to finish my Welcome To Night Vale episodes before the next one comes out!

Hahaha, just kidding. More like: I have less than two weeks to my EOY exams. Fuck.

Seriously, it is practically the end of the September holidays and I am still chionging homework when everyone else has more or less finished and has started revising.

I am so very, very dead.

So if you are still procrastinating, I suggest you start studying NOW because if you don't, you will die and your mum will kill you before selling you to Hannibal Lecter. He will eat you for dessert.

Bye.

The problems with limited memory space

Remember how I used to complain about my old phone with an astounding memory space of 181MB?

Well, my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini has a space of 4GB and somehow or another, I have already used it all up.

As I am typing this, there is a notification saying that I can't download Restaurant Story because there is no more space.

I'm starting to suspect that this is because I downloaded a 28 chapter podcast.

But c'mon, it's my Welcome to Night Vale podcast! (Can you believe all 28 chapters are free? Neither can I!)

Wouldn't life be much simpler if our phones had unlimited memory space? Just think about it! All the apps that you want in your phine with no danger of using all of it's memory space.

Alright, I'm going to go and delete more apps to make space for Restaurant Story.

A quick update

How the hell did I not blog during the month of July?

Sorry guys.

It's Singapore's 48th birthday today! :D Yeah, that's pretty cool.

This has to be quick because I am not supposed to be on my laptop so a quick update.

I've joined 4 fandoms: Sherlock, Doctor Who, Supernatural and Welcome to Night Vale. This is definitely going to be bad for my health. If you are part of any these fandoms, high 5!

My exams are next week so I am going to study after getting off the laptop.

I've joined a little YouTube group but I'm not going to share which group is that cause I know I have people from school reading my blog.

Hi! *waves*

Ok, I've got to go. Bye!

What teenagers are entitled to

1) A day to sulk
2) Be bitchy and have no one comment
3) Constant compliments
4) More food
5) More money
6) Less nagging
7) No school
8) Life
9) No homework
10) 2 6 month vacations a year
11) A holiday with no homework ( YOU HEAR THAT TEACHERS? AMERICAN TEACHERS DO THAT, WHY CAN'T YOU?)

If you can't tell, I'm majorly pissed.

The 5 things that irk me

There is something very wrong with that hit counter over there, I have much more visits than that >:(

Anyway, hi guys! 

My laptop is still confiscated and I'm starting to reconsider blogging from my phone, seeing as it will just make everybody's life easier.

I don't really have any idea what to blog about so today, I shall just tell you 5 things (more or less) that irk me!

ONE

I hate it when my phone crashes. Or hangs. Or does something it is not supposed to. 

You get the idea.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not looking at porn, but sometimes you just need to close down your phone as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Like when the boss calls you for a last minute meeting and you're playing Bakery Story on your phone.

Let's just say... awkward max.

Can you imagine going into the minute, and your phone is still playing the song? DE DE DE DE DE DEDE DE DE

No thanks.

TWO

When people talk to me when my earphones are in. I know sometimes I am the one who said 'Hi' first but your entertainment value has been used up. Now leave me alone to listen to my music in peace.

THREE

When people call me while I'm playing a game, or listening to more music. I will be happily playing Virtual Village 4 or listening to the latest song I downloaded when suddenly, totally silence and everything hangs. I will just be like, "What? What?! What is going on?" Then the phone starts to ring, and of course the ringtone just has to be loud and obnoxious and completely embarrasing. One minute it's just radio silence and the next, "AH AH AH AH STAYING ALIVE STAYING ALIVE AH AH AH AH STAYING ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

FOUR

When people think it is alright to invade your personal space. NO, IT IS NOT ALRIGHT. IT IS CALLED 'PERSONAL' FOR A REASON. Please, back off. By at least 5 km. Or 5 planets, it is totally fine by me.

FIVE

When we are in a crowd and some idiots decide to stop. Like come on! 

As you can tell,  I am not a big fan of crowds. This is why my parents keep me away from big events. Because I start threatening to murder everyone under my breath. 

And that's it! The 5 things that irk me!

See you soon!

The problem with love

Hey guys!

OK, is there something wrong with the format?

...

Nevermind, it's just me.

Sorry that I haven't been on for quite sometime. My laptop has been confiscated (the world is about to end) so I can't blog that much and I really dislike blogging from my phone because it's irritating.

What about this weather huh? I can barely see in this haze, I'm pretty sure I am going to bump into some poor soul and then we will become friends and start dating and get married...

Yeah, that was a pretty shitty introduction to my little segment today:

THE PROBLEM WITH LOVE

Seriously, it's nice to have a crush and be in love and all that jazz but for those who are FA (Forever Alone) like me, that shit gets real old, real fast. Let me show you why.

(The following problems are made up, in order to make sure some poor sap doesn't end up being the butt of jokes)

So I really like this guy and I'm pretty sure he likes me back cause he smiled at me in the hallway the other day but then again, he could be smiling at my best friend who was with me. I heard he is a player and a lot of girls say that they have been with him but I'm sure they are all lying cause he helped me and he was really sweet and I really like  him, but he has a girlfriend but she is terribly mean to him and isn't good for him...

You get the point.

So I shall point out all the problems and give you a big heaping spoonful of medicine and get-your-head-fucking-straight advice.

1) He smiled at me in the hallway

My teachers smile at me in the hallway. Point proven.

2) He could be smiling at my best friend

If you aren't even sure who he was smiling at, always assume he was smiling at the wall and that the smile was sincere.

3) I heard that he is a player and a lot of girls say that they have been with him

If you have heard that he is a player, then he most probably is. Some of those girls may have been lying but that's only a small percentage.

4) He helped me and he was really sweet

Doesn't mean anything. He is most probably just playing you ^^^

5) I really like him, but he has a girlfriend

STAY AWAY YOU NITWIT DON'T BE A HOMEWRECKER

6) But she is terribly mean to him and isn't good for him

Not your problem. Keep walking. Unless of course they are in an abusive relationship, in which case get involved by calling the police.

And there you have it, problems with love. 

P.S  Nothing happened to me, I'm just thought this was a good idea to write about while just staying awake through pure adrenaline.

Ways my pen name have been misinterpreted

Hello!

So my friends always start questioning me while is my pen name Moxxie? I shall tell you a secret, I called myself Moxxie after the shoes moccasins.

...

Yes, these are moccasins.

  In my defence, I did not know what they were and thought they were an expensive brand for sexy high heels.

                                       

Jesus*, I am a danger to well dressed society.

Anyway, my friends kept on telling me the many ways my pen name could be misinterpreted so therefore, I present the pictures people have sent me to demonstrate my pen name.


                                                       

Seriously, this dude is creepy.

They have got to be the ugliest reject barbies I have ever seen.

                                       

And enjoy laughing at my misfortune at choosing a shoe for my pen name.
                                              

P.S I am fully aware that I am using His name in vain. Also, you guys are going to want to kill me when I tell you that I am not a Christian. *Runs for cover*

P.P.S Sorry about the pictures, they are refusing to obey and stay in a straight line.

P.P.P.S Have you heard? Charice is gay!! O_o
                                                      

Urgh

So if you follow me on Tumblr (highly unlikely, seeing as I have not given you the link), you would know that my mum grounded me for she is extremely dissatisfied at my results. Her dissatisfaction has resulted in my grounding.

I am now unable to go and watch Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek: Into Darkness. If my mum is pissed, you do not want to see how much more pissed I am.

Yeah, that's right.

I was carefully judging my mum's mood to ask her this and when she was in this excellent, laughing mood, I asked her. Her mood could not have changed faster than lightning, I swear.

My own mum threatened to slap me. She then proceeded to put me on house arrest. I can't do anything this holiday but work.

GODDAMIT. 

I GOT BAD RESULTS, I DIDN'T GET PREGNANT OR HIGH OR START SMOKING.

I had to call up my friend and cancel our plans, do you know how embarrassing that is? The whole exam period, I was like "Hui Ying, put all frivolous thoughts out of your head or all your plans will just be thoughts" So I did and I might as well have told myself that now cause I can't go and watch the bloody movie.

I am so fucking pissed right now. I waited a month for this movie to come out, I made myself not think about it to get through the exam period without fucking it up and now I can't go?!

THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT.

The face of the Earth

Hey guys! Sorry for disappearing off the face of the Earth since that angry blog post. So update: I actually passed my maths and science but I've failed my Chinese again for the third time in a row. Sigh.

I'm actually quite lucky. God managed to grant me two miracles. One more would have been nice but I can't complain.

So if I don't blog after this, you know I either got my laptop confiscated, my mum killed me or I simply forgot about this blog.

My class has a little performance coming up at the end of the year, it isn't open to the public #sorrynotsorry It's a small thing for our parents to showcase what we learnt in English and Lit over the course of the year. And after a long time of being indecisive, we finally decided on a theme:

DREAMS

I'm actually really pleased about this and I am very hard to please. I have plans to make a little playlist later and I'll share it with you guys after it is done.

Dreams is actually a really broad theme and it can be interpreted so many ways. It can mean ambitions or the actually literal thing so naturally, there will be that magical factor in it.

I'm really excited about this! :D

Also, next term in my music class, we have to form a iBand which is basically a band with people who only play instruments on their Apple products. It's actually really cute and geeky!

My favourite example is this cover of Payphone by Max Schneider and Avery. They're really good singers and their video is below the words being typed.

And we got introduced this group in school and I couldn't stop fawning over it.

How is that not adorable?!

That's all I have for you peeps so please continue visiting the blog even though I am a huge couch potato.

I hope that I have good news for lit tomorrow.

P.S I have fallen in love... with Benedict Cumberbatch. 

I am dying. 

HE'S JUST TOO CUTE.

THIS IS TOO STALKERISH.

BYE!

Okay... apparently I'm a fuck up

If you couldn't tell, this is going to be a fucking depressing rant with tons of swearing so you might want to give this one a miss.

I had my exams for this month, so I've been studying, barely any time to blog so excuse the lack of updates.

Let's start from the beginning, shall we?

First of all, I had Chinese. My worst fucking subject so I've been studying and studying for a long time. Come exam time, I was not even fucking prepared. So I sat for my Chinese exam and fuck it all, I was always terrible at it anyway.

Let's proceed: Literature. I thought I did pretty well then my classmates start telling me how they wrote two pages and a bit while I barely wrote a page! A page and a quarter of bloody inferences.

And then I hit fucking rock bottom.

I had science. I never had much problem with this subject but for some inexplicable reason, I fucking lost my head. I have to date lost about 12 marks. Out. Of. Thirty. 30 marks.

30 FUCKING MARKS. AND I HAD BEEN STUDYING SO HARD FOR THIS CAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE DISAPPOINT OF SCORING HORRIBLY AND WHAT DID I DO? I FUCK IT ALL UP BECAUSE I COULDN'T READ THE BLOODY QUESTION PROPERLY.

I DIDN'T FINISH MY QUESTIONS, I GOT THE IMAGE AND OBJECT CONFUSED AND ALL OF THIS QUESTIONS ARE WORTH 4 MARKS.

I am a fuck up.

Now, we move on to my last exam: Maths. You would think that with my disappoint, I would know to be more prepared for today.

I fucked up again.

I couldn't finish the questions and I didn't know how to do several questions and I have lost approximately 15 marks.

I would be lucky to pass my exams.

I am a fuck up.

A bunch of news

Holy mother of chocolate fudge, I have reached a thousand views on my blog.

Oh my gosh.

Soooo... you can't judge me for not blogging for almost a month. You are not to judge.

I have been busy, mid years are coming out and I should be starting my revision for Chinese and stuff. I need to learn all the vocab and Chinese idioms cause of Chinese, every tiny mark counts. I'm the type who will just learn a few days before the exam and this results in me failing by half mark. I am unwilling to go through that again. This is the first time I actually freaked out about my exams about a month earlier then when it actually starts.

I apologise for my English. As I said, I am tired. And busy.

My next piece of news, I am starting dance classes. Yes, after 14 years of living, I will be starting dance classes. What dance, you ask?

Jazz and contempory and maybe, ballet.

Insanity!

I won't lie, I am bloody terrified. Professional dance classes are a whole uncharted territory for me. Leotards, ballet shoes, contemp shoes?! All completely new to me. But I need to dance, because I am going for an award that requires me to complete 20 hours of physical recreation in 8 weeks.

Eight weeks.

That is 2.5 hours of an activity per week. That doesn't sound bad...until you consider most activities with an instructor and stuff are like 1 hour. I have to take at least 3 classes a week about something I have no experience with.

Good job, Hui Ying, good job.

If you have any advice for me, please comment down below.

In other news, my toe is bruised again because I knocked it on the sofa. Ow, ow, ow.

I think that's all my news, I'll update you on the dance thing soon.

Kthxbye

Update 29/4/2013: I will be taking jazz and ballet lessons. And I nearly died, cause all of the equipment will cost $120 give or take. How am I supposed to tell my mum this?! Mum, if you see this, sorry. FML

My Muar Trip :D

Hi guys! So this is my Muar trip :D!

24/03

Packed my bag the day before. Clothes, sweats, bras, pads (just in case my period came. It did), insect repellent (Very important!!!), deodorant (I keep on forgetting to use it), jacket and cap!

Excited for my trip to Malaysia!!!

 25/03

 I had 4 hours of sleep. 4!!! How did I survive the day without coffee? OMG, I just can't. I woke up, got dressed, and my dad drove me to school.

Leaving!

9 people liked that photo so I guess 9 people were happy to see me go. I feel the love, guys, I really do.

So.. I went to school and tons of people asked why my shirt was so short. I told them I got my shirt altered but it was a badly done job. That's not the true story. The real story is... I altered it and cut the shirt too short. Well, that takes care of my aspiration to be a fashion designer. *dumps dream in trash* I spent the next one hour goofing around with my friends and camwhoring. All pictures will include me cause frankly, my friends (ahem, RX) look terrifying when they camwhore.

Then, we got on the bus and went to Malaysia. The first place we went was like this store where I bought gum and M&Ms. Then we went to this jungle place where we were greeted by a large set of rules. My personal favourite was this one:

Who did they catch and what were they doing?

So here's my theory. Because they put up that rule, it means that they have caught someone doing something coughindecentcough right? Right. So it must have been something pretty big to have put that rule in place. It can't have been kissing cause frankly, kissing someone isn't that big of a deal.

By the way, the rule underneath: Do not make excessive noise ;) You guys get it, right? I know you do. High 5, fellow sick minded people!

So we went on through the broadwalk, looking at fugly snails til finally finally we reach the most southern point of Asia. Wow.

This is when we were turning back. Actually, running back because it was SO HAWT! This was when we saw a monkey!

Monkey!! And we were turning away, it turned as well and showed us its monkey balls. Gross. By this time, it was actually time for lunch so we went for seafood. I could barely eat anything because I am allergic to seafood and nobody gave a shit.

Then we took a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong bus ride to Muar which we camwhored even more.

That's me and my best friend, Li Xuan. And then, the other two girls are my other best friends, Ruoxi and Chi Shan. If you follow me on Instagram, you would know Chi Shan was my roommate in Muar.

We ate Monster sweets which I didn't know existed still. Monster sweets are my favourite sweets since I was young. That's why Li Xuan's tongue is red. And Ruoxi was being a bimbo and camwhored with a water bottle. And we ate cookies. I LOVE COOKIES.

When we reached Muar, we had tea then we went straight to dinner. Ok, I shall warn you. We camwhored a lot so this post will have pics mostly of us.

This is my other roommate.

We ate very little as we ate A LOT on the bus. Then we went to the hotel and took a shower and collasped on the bed and slept after bathing.

Our hotel room at Muar(:

26/03

Ahh coffee, the best damn thing in the world. We had breakfast where we all shared our sleeping stories. Apparently, I am a blanket stealer and left my friends to share one small blanket. In my defense, it was cold. Like, my-teeth-can't-stop-chattering cold, alright?

We spent the whole day at the kampong. They gave us food and drinks, yum!

This was when we went to look at their pineapple and palm farms.

When we came back, we played spinning top, weaved the leaf thingy, made a kite, stuff like that.

Not mine. Li Xuan's. Then we had lunch and we went to our "foster family's" house. We stayed there for an hour before going for a tractor ride in the boiling hot sun.

That's Alicia. She's an amazing dancer and I totally heart her. We went to different places and all I remember is : WAH LAO, SO HOT and HEY, FREE FOOD.

Malaysians are very nice, keep on giving us free food but it was also very awkward lah, because I can't speak Malay. I only know some words like, makan, saya, cikgu... Yeah, that's it.

And you know where we went after we got all the free food? For dinner. But dunno why I very hungry and I ate 2 plates. Woah. The whole time I was in Muar, I ate like one plate and veggies during meals and stuff hahaha.

The good thing about the Muar trip is after dinner, we just head back to the hotel. I don't really like it if you make me go out after dinner because all I want to do is sleep!

Head back to the hotel and I filmed the Harlem Shake! Yup yup, I was cool like that but the sad thing is I can't show you guys the video because the video is not in my possession and my friends do not wish to have their video uploaded so must respect their decision lah!

27/03

And before you know it, it is our last day in Muar! After breakfast, we went to a wet market and there were a lot of cats!

                                       

And they were oh-so cute! But there was this guy right, he tripped over the kitten! :O And then I was like, "HE KICKED THE CAT!" Obviously  I know he didn't but let me be my usual drama queen self lah!

And then we went to JB for lunch, it was again a long ride which everyone but me feel asleep. We had A&W for lunch.

My waffle after it was eaten

And then we went around and camwhored even more...

And that was it! Good bye, Malaysia and hello, Singapore! :)

I hoped you enjoyed the excessive camwhoring pictures and the lacking details that took me almost a week to write! LOL
