happy twenty-fifteen

hi & ohmygod happy new year!!

I'm kind of in a state of shock where I am unable to comprehend the fact that I will be form 4 this year and turning 16 in a few months. It is also unbelievable that I have been ( kind of ) successfully blogging for almost 3 years!!!  I guess it's safe to say, it took me about 4 days to kind of cope with reality which gushed in all of a sudden, hence the overdue new year's post. ( the fact that my family and I decided to have a very unplanned trip down to kl for some retail therapy may have also been a contributor to my delayed post heh ) Anyway, we have an extra week of school holidays!! This is due to the floods and I hope everything will be ok soon.

Spent new year's eve and had a countdown at dhanya's house along with ng and looi and on new year's day we had a road trip to kl. So far, 2015 hasn't been that much different minus the stress of the extra subjects I will be taking in form 4. I have opted for the art stream, in the commerce class. Originally, my school placed me in the science stream of class 4sc1 but after much thought and discussion with my parents, I made a switch and now I am separated from all my smart ass friends. :((((((((  It definitely is going to sting when they talk about how hard their stream is and how tough the additional subjects that they are taking are and I will inevitably feel out of place during school talk but I made up my mind that I know what's best for my own future. Already there are uncles that are trying to talk me into changing my mind, telling me that if I do not go for the science stream a huge window of opportunity will close on me bla bla bla and so on. Some of my friends, I can tell, are already looking down on me but I am trying my best not to let them bring me down. I will work hard and attain success, till whenever that may be I HAVE to keep a strong upfront. No, I am not switching because my pt3 results suck balls. I switched according to my personal interest. I managed to get 8A's & 1B for pt3 which clearly isn't a good result but it isn't a bad one either. I was one of the three students who got straight As and one B in my school haha. I am also currently torn between taking eil or est as my tenth subj and I hope to figure it out soon.

Anyway, last year, I allowed people to get to me. There were some of my high points but I did reach rockbottom in 2013-2014. This year, I feel much more confident and much much happier. Despite my fear of entering form 4, I feel so light and free that I'm actually going to enjoy life. I've realised after much harsh confrontation that I am quite negative. Perhaps I am, or perhaps it is who I have become. Nevertheless, no one will understand if I say it is the latter due to certain events that have kind of knock me overboard.  I have had quite a lot of thought about it and I am going to be A LOTTTT more positive this year. I used to be an extrovert as well all throughout my life but that kind of changed in 2013-2014 and well I am going to go back to my old ways. I am not going to be that shy little lame friend that sticks to the back anymore, I'm gonna be bold and I'm gonna be confident.

I have quite a number of events that happened in 2014 which I am yet to blog about and I'm stuck between the decision of blogging on 'em or just focusing on new events and I believe I will be focusing on new events. However, I did go to Bali and there def needs to be a post on that!! Haha

anywho,


Here is my list of 2015 resolutions :

i. wake up early on weekends

ii. study consistently ( this is going to be the hardest shit ever )

iii. only watch one show a day and don't waste my time on useless dramas and youtube videos after          school

iv. do not let people intimidate you and do not be shy or an introvert

v. be more outspoken in class

vi. prepare and stick to a study timetable ( you're gonna need it or you'll regret this later )

vii. take part in as many competitions as possible

viii. homework must be done on the day given

ix. smile more

x. be more sociable

xi. finish tuition hwk on the day pre planned

xii. blog more often

also : ( they're cheesy but I gotta learn how to do 'em )

I genuinely hope 2015 will be a much better year for everyone!
It's so cool, isn't it? how each year 365 days can just pass by and teach you lessons that will lead you to a better year every time.  Happy new year everyone and may God bless us all :)

[cheesy but cute ok HAHAHAH]

Thursday @ Paragon & Plaza

before you proceed I warn you of the number of pictures below.

hi everyone!

I’m currently typing this in mw because I don’t have wifi till 12pm on my laptop but I have nothing to do so I just decided I’d blog about yesterday’s events. Basically a bunch of us from school decided to have an outing which we have been planning since before pt3. From escape to the ‘hop on hop off bus’, none of those plans worked out. Seeing as we are all from butterworth, it was also quite a hassle to just get transport to the island but we managed to do so anyway.

Kirtisha’s mum fetched me to Penang around 11am while jy, tung, munira and manvinder took the ferry to gurney. The main planner ( looi ) couldn’t make it at the last minute which was slightly annoying not gonna lie LOL cause we were all quite clueless of what we were suppose to do in penang. Originally, we were meant to board the hop on hop off bus since it was cheap ( myr 19 only HAHA ) and it would be adventurous  but in the end all of us just ended up having some retail therapy at paragon and plaza.

[ fun fact : I have never been to gurney paragon so it was much more fun for me lol ]

kirtisha and I arrived earlier ( as expected ) so we decided to shop for a little while. As we roamed around we passed a “spongebob mini theatre” where they were showing, I presume, snippets of spongebob episodes. There was a show at noon which was just a 5 min wait and kirtisha wanted to go but no I stopped her HAHAHA.

We then went to h&m and got superrrr excited because they were having a sale. The majority of dresses there were selling ONLY FOR RM 25 ????? and there were even rm 10 muscle tees and skater skirts which aren’t my forte but still???? Rm 10 in h&m????? damn. HAHA soon after we were over our shock of how cheap the clothes were the others arrived and jy was so hungry that she literally dragged us out of h&m to find a restaurant for brunch

we had breakfast+lunch @ miam miam as suggested by jy since she wanted to try their famous french toast which I have seen 837792739 pictures of on instagram. I didn’t mind going there too so that was where our first stop was. ( all photos are taken on that day through our phones so please mind the quality ) 

they had pretty deco but it was so awkward to take pictures LOL so I made jy go and take some but she didn't do that great of a job HAHA ( look below lmao ) but A+ for effort jy!! HAHAHA

the bottomless ice water which I appreciated so much because most restaurants only serve super sweet drinks which I don't like at all.

"i am fantabulous bow before me u peasants"

[ all smiles but we were actually starving and were mad because the service was really slow ]

despite that, they were nice enough to tell us that the restaurant is non-halal so it wouldn't be suitable for munira. We wanted to get up and leave but munira repeatedly kept saying that it was fine and she didn't want to eat which was so irritating because she clearly was hungry -_- if you want to eat you don't have to be shy dafuq. I was fed up so I just decided to keep quiet and sit there and enjoy. 

anywho, tung's food came first. Not sure what it was but it was some kind of lobster soup with a side of french/italian bread idk. She said it was super salty and she didn't really enjoy it. 

tung's soup and bread

[ buy one christmas tree get one free salty soup set HAHAHA jk ] but she does look like she's promoting the tree AM I RIGHT AHAH 

a little later mine and jy's spaghetti arrived ( we decided to share a plate of spaghetti and french toast but they came in HUGE portions so we ended up not being able to finish the french toast ) 

the bacon = 9000000000 thumbs up man 

the spaghetti as a whole was OK. 

Kirtisha's chocolate souffle thing idk HAHA fancy food ain't up my alley

Manvinder's

omg manvinder's was heavenly!! I have no idea what it was but damnnnn it was good. I only had a bite but I loved it. It was like bread covered with cheese and bacon, simple peasant food but absolutely scrumptious!!

tung's dessert, it was soooo weird. idk it was crispy at the top and moist at the bottom THAT SOUNDS WRONG HAHAHA ok im sorry it just tasted awfully weird, in a nice dark choc kinda way

and finally....

THE EVER SO FAMOUS FRENCH TOAST WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IS FAMOUS because it tasted like regular 'ol french toast I have every sunday morning at home lol, the cream was a nice touch though! might try it home made.

[ lets all take a moment to appreciate how perfect the above photo would've been if it weren't for the half eaten spaghetti so disgustingly sitting there at the side HAHAHAH crap ]

as I previously mentioned, jy and I wanted to share both the french toast and the spaghetti but we both have reallyyyyyy miniature appetites so we ended up forcing ourselves to finish the french toast which in the end we failed to do HAHA

"you better eat at least two or I will murder you", I said as I grabbed another fork and stabbed the french toast and forced it into jy's hand

I DON'T LIKE WASTING FOOD OK AHHAHAH

in the end we tried but this was what was left >:( 

the bill came up to just about myr150.10 which to me was really reasonable!! all of us divided it and payed rm30 each which was ok I feel.

then, we proceeded to h&m where the girls went on a shopping spree HAHAH I tried on a few clothes but I only liked one and it wasn't even on sale!! D: I was devastated. It was rm 60 and it was a minnie mouse sweater thing. It was so cute and I was in loooove but the price was ridiculous. I contemplated so long and finally made the decision to get it because well I would've remorsed if I didn't. I absolutely do NOT regret my purchase.

IT'S CUTE AMIRITE ok I don't care I find it cute and it was worth rm60 HAHA idk it is really really cute.

I was also looking through the accessories section of h&m to find that they were all also on sale! I found a set of 6 pairs of earrings only for rm10. Wanted to buy it but decided not to because I only really liked 2 out of the 6 pairs lol

After the rest made their purchases, we headed to the washroom because jy wanted to change into her new clothes ( I admit I was half tempted to do so too but I didn't because kt said we were to go back in a couple of hours, so what was the point right? haha )

annnndddd... this happened

"let the selcas in the toilet begin"

#failedmirrorshots

w/ kirtishaaaa

munira has perfect teeth man

as we were taking this we didn't realise that jy was out of the bathroom andddd she snapchatted 

...this HAHA

After that, we walked to gurney plaza. ( as we were walking also I managed to take pics lol wtf I am obsessed ) 

"ok smile"

"brader I wasn't ready"

When we reached plaza jy went to meet up with her friend while tung and I went to  padini while the other three ie. manvinder, munira and kirtisha wandered off without us gossiping about who knows what at who knows where HAHA. We finally all met up at chatime where kt said it was time for us to leave but I rly wanted to shop more so I asked my mum if I could come back with a ferry and she said ok!! I was overjoyedddd. Munira, manv and kirtisha then went back with kt's mum while Tung, me and jy went to the milkshake factory as tung wanted a drink.

She got a ferero rocher one but she said the tiramisu one tasted nicer. I would've gotten the bounty, nutella or maltese's one tbh HAHA but I was superrrr full.

tung looking satisfied af with her shake HAHAHA

the service @ the milkshake factory was great!! the guy was so friendly and allowed tung to try some samples before her purchase.

then we went to mango where I changed into my minnie mouse sweater thing that I got @ h&m a few hours ago ( lmao ) and headed back to gurney paragon.

There, jy went to naraya where she bought a bag and tung and I proceeded to bath and body works. It smelled heavenly in there omghiuwsjkaew. I wanted to get their pink chiffon body mist which smelled just idk IT WAS SO DELICIOUS but I had a budget so I just ended up getting a small bottle of warm vanilla sugar room spray which I sprayed ytd in my room and it smelled like a christmas cookie ok yumz.

 ( also tried more body mist's samples but didn't get any as you can see above HAHAHAHA )

after that we went to search for some phone cases for jy at switch and went to brown pocket for tea. Jy belanja-ed tung and I to a triple choc waffle and she had a random latte.

the triple choc waffle! ( it is unbelievable that this was taken with an ip5 cam and not a dslr right HAHA )  please do not steal this photograph.

( these were taken with a redmi. also not bad right HAHA )

 

jy & her latte

Also, did I mention that brown pocket has amazingggg service? well,  they have AMAZING service. The staff was so friendly and they were so polite and patient and were just so kind overall omg 10 thumbs up for their service man, they were so nice.

i look like a frog next to tung

#derpfacesatitsbest

"so hot la jy faster take the picture"

then as we stepped out of brown pocket we saw this

it doesn't look as nice in the picture as it does in real life!!

tung & jy

jy & I

 after that we headed back to h&m where tung changed her shirt for a smaller size and then my dad called and was kinda pissed since it was already pretty late and it was dark out and he didn't want me taking the ferry when it was so dark so we took a cab for rm20 from gp to the ferry terminal ( which to me was a rip off. I mean his meter wasn't even working wtf.

but I was desperate to go home lolz

 [ on the ferry ]

 which is how and where my trip ended. It was a lovely day and I look forward to more outings like this w them.

ok bye for now!
