Thanksgiving Post

I wanted to write something like this at the end of this year, but I thought today is Thanksgiving, and I kind of lack of topic to write.

I mean it's pretty obvious on what I am going to write - how thankful I am.

According The Secret, being thankful/grateful integrates positive mood and therefore positive outcome. That's why every time when I am not happy, I will always think how lucky and how blessed I am.

But then basically I am grateful for everything that's too long to mention, but I will still write out as much as I can.

  • You, if you are taking your time to read this, I am really grateful. I mean the blogshpere is getting bigger, and a nobody like me is somehow a somebody to you. Because most of the time, I thought my sis and I are the only one who read the blog. A BIG thank you 


  • 3 ouf of 5 of my friends had family problem (financial, affair, internal argument, etc.) I am not particularly happy for their ugly story, but that makes me understand how awesome my family could be. 

  • Going to UWA. Gosh, I just don't want to mention how hard I've been working before and during my days in UWA. It was an awesome uni, it is not entirely perfect, but I really enjoy my days.

Especially the study group gang who went through the happy and somehow....hard time too. Beside, compare to my local friends, I am the really really lucky one whose parents do not mind spending a fortune on my education. I mean if you know what I mean, it's not that easy to have friends in uni especially not your own hometown. And this bunch of guys, are like super awesome or what !!! 
  • I am so healthy. I have slight low blood pressure, but so far I haven't been experiencing any inconvenient problem. Also, I can walk pretty long without feeling tired and that's why I am not afraid to travel somewhere new and unfamiliar. Thanks guan yin for a short and walkable leg too !!

  • Facing death. I know it's weird that I mentioned in here, but having people around me passed away makes me appreciate my life more and realized how useless are all the material stuff. Because when it comes to the matter of life or death, money is nothing at all. 
  • Big eye and long dark hair. Ok, FYI, my hair is pure virgin, it's a baby hair, it's my most important asset amongst all my body parts. I always thank myself for take caring my hair so well (and my hair is very happy of having a nice owner like me). Second, my eye, I did nothing on that, it's my mum's eye, so I should thank her for that. 

  • Oh, one more, pole dancing. It's a good opportunity to learn another form of dance which surprised me so much. And I don't want to post a picture on that, will do that later :D 
  • Everything and everyone in my life.

 P/S: something from Audrey Hepburn 


For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.  

For a slim figure, share your foodwith the hungry.  
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.  
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.  
People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed  
and redeemed; never throw out anyone.   
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find them at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,  one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. 

P/P/S: It's already 1.31am when I finished this post, so it's basically not thanksgiving already. But I think thanksgiving should be an everyday thing, right?

So....Random

10 things I just want to write out


  1. I really hate the feeling of nothing to do after exam, I must feel occupied, therefore I tried to engage myself in looking forward returning to Malaysia and going to China.
  2. We need to be poor in order to be rich, we need to miss something in order to get something.
  3. A house, need to a bit messy to be warm
  4. A kitchen, need to be a bit oily and disgusting, to be fulfilled. I feel happy cleaning up the kitchen, meaning I did cooking throughout the semester
  5. We need to leave a place, in order to know how meaningful is the previous place, to appreciate, to love, and to miss. 
  6. The end of something, is always, is always, the beginning of something
  7. Always look at others' flaws, and be proud of yourself, and be happy; Always learn from others, to know how much you flawed. 
  8. It's the end of the year already, everything pass so fast, gosh 
  9. hmmmm...
  10. I think that's it

EMO

So you know how there're the share articles running around facebook with the title 'I am pretending to be strong, I am actually week', 'I am so tired for acting strong', etc... And yes, today's post is going to be something like that.

It is nearly impossible to keep oneself happy for 24/7. According to 'The secret', everytime when one is in the 'blue' mood, the best way is to start thinking positive thought to generate happier feeling. But it is always really hard to be happy when everything around goes so fucking wrong, everytime when happiness is near, something bad will happen. No, I am not trying complain about how messy is my life.

The hardest in the world is believing myself. Thinking I am able to do really good when evidence showed nothing. And then you keep falling and falling again, where failure seems endless. So when negative events 'outshines' the positive. So even the positive events looks so tiny, and 'doesn't worth the happiness, as something worst is happening', right?

Saying all the positive phrase to others are not hard, hardest is to when I'm trying to apply those to myself. But I never stop saying positive phrase to others, because they will always tell me things I use to tell them.

And my task now, is learning to adjust my own mood back, align myself back to the right track, with no rush, take my time, shifting from the wrong to the right, from the right to better, from better to great.

p/s: According to someone, when you are not feeling good, writing out your feeling will help you to feel better, that's exactly where blog seems so useful

Mini-featured

Pretty much a very random and boring post.

Ok, so every time when I finished a post, I'll see if I want to put it in Innit @ nuffnang to generate more reader..  Then after probably hours or days, I will check if my 'nangs' is high or not. But normally it couldn't be any higher, errr...... like 4-5 is consider high for me as I am such an anonymous in the blogsphere.

Ok, so I was checking just now if my previous post had any reader (I know, so annoying rite). And surprisingly, I had been 'mini-featured' 

Haha, Congratz to myself :D

A day with Care Bear at Fremantle

Hihi,

So I went to a mini Fremantle trip today. The thing I like Perth is that, in part of taking it as my 'second home', there's always something I can do like a tourists, extra points today for the awesome weather. As many people had been saying Perth is always boring, laid-back lifestyle, I can ensure you Perth is like a place, where the longer you stay, the more you will be surprised.

Ok, so the day started with brunch at La Porchetta

 Highly recommended if you are travelling Perth with low-budget though


And yes, it was so yummy that could make me stunned :D 

Follow by that, I decided to go to timezone and saw the Care Bare catching Machine. You know, the machine that you thought they will cheat your money away, and so I decided to try my luck, 3 times of 1.20 dollar and here it is, the Happy Care Bear :D 

(My face damn red, like drunk or what)
And then the day preceded with  walking around, honestly, no target, just walk around  Fremantle like a free bird. So I am really sorry with my no description pictures. (mini p/s: Care Bear will be in all my photos)
 Ok, if u are curious about my outfit, I am going to tell where I get everything like a bimbo blogger. 

Top: Aud20 from a random boutique in Claremont, looks really expensive, but only 20dollar, so happy
Jeans: Levi's from Mid Valley, favourite Levi's outlet in M'sia. Around RM230 or what
Grey Singlet: RM40-50 at HangTen
Fake Ugly Chanel-Inspired Bag: Aud20, can pretty much get a better one in any blogshop
Ballet Flat: Discount at around AUD30-40 from Bardot. 

Ok lah, seriously my outfit has nothing special like most other fashionable blogger. 



 So windy and you can see my hair and face so mess up


Super big sub-marine, damn cool


 There was this cute love shape logo behind his butt, so cute

Fremantle is like really historical place with full off story behind every path. Most of my history-lover friends love Fremantle a lot as there are really a lot of things to be explored. I have no idea how to explain how I am fascinated with many things at here, because I am not a history-person, but Fremantle doesn't stop surprising me even I've been staying here for around 3 years. 

There are a lot of sculptures around Fremantle to pay respect to those great mens. I didn't bother to take many pictures of them because I don't really know them well and I didn't want to fake myself to like them by keep taking pictures with them. But I still respect those 'great mens' because they did such a good job on shaping WA. 

But then I saw this really nice sculpture which I felt really connect with. 


 So I posed with them because I also 'left their homeland to brave an unknown future of WA'. Hahah, no lah, WA is not unknown to me, but still 'left my homeland' right ??



Last one, I LOVE PERTH. You probably can't see how awesome is the scenery because I don't own a DSRL(or is that DSLR??), but it was plainly fucking awesome.

p/s: Why is that I never have that photogenic face, why is that I always look worse in photo than my actual face...haiz....

My Wedding Photobook

Due the fact that I have finished my exam, I'll have so many time to blog some crappy stuff. Owwhhh.....remember I said I'll post Ronny's 21st photos, NOT ANYMORE, BLAH BLAH BLEH BLEH, partly because there are all not presentable at all.

And I don't have any outings/party photos because I am more of a home-movie-popcorn girl.

So I am going to blog about my future wedding photos =.= (I know it sounds so random, but I just want to share mah, cannot meh ??)

Compare to traditional wedding photos, where you used fake background, etc, modern wedding photos are more 'commercial', you get what I mean, look here ......... 

I mean, this one looks exactly like from some sort of advertisement company...... I personally don't like when the background is so big, where the bride and groom takes like so small portion of it.

Ok, let's look at one of the model in Malaysia, Leng Yein.


 Ok, this top 2 are basically not my favourite, it looks exactly like some sort of magazine photoshooot, but I always think wedding photos should be lovely and warm instead of overly sophisticated.



But this top 3 are my favourite, sweet and warm, nothing too extraordinaire (except the first one), that just tells something, agree not?

Modern photographer would actually chose real location with real scenery to do the photo shoot. I myself is not familiar with all this stuff, but getting all real scenery sounds more fun, but I guess it could be pricey though. Below are all my favorites: 










But still I think some of the colour setting is very commercial........I know... I am so picky right? I don't even know which one I really like. Not something like SATC movie Carrie's wedding photo shoot, too sophisticated for me.

So far, my favourite bride is kim ong from kimong.com. Sometimes I feel like I am just like her, love ballet, love tying my hair all up with no fringe (though not everyone's favorite), something simple, not too much....... Hoping to meet her in person :D AND and and .... her wedding shoe are amongst my favorite, a not so Jimmy Choo Jimmy Choo's.Her hairstyle is definitely something I'll do for my wedding




Don't really have that many of her photos, you can just go to her blog to know more about her. And one more similarity is that we both do pole dance...... 

Ok, to sum up, my wedding should be small and lovely, probably not more 150 guests so that I can chat with everyone without being tired. A mix of western and Chinese and nothing too big, a small one with 150 guests and some hello kitty decoration (lame!).

Psychology - where you start to learn yourself

The thing I like about writing blog is that I can talk to myself like nobody is reading when actually you will reading. Fine.....

Sudden urge to talk about why I chose psychology at the first place...

Accounting was my best subject when I was in Taylors, I am pretty much in the top 10 in Taylors. When I was doing accounting, I strike for perfect score, and when I wasn't doing well, I'll blame that as my mere carelessness rather than because I can't understand. So most of the time, I would assume I had grasped all the knowledge in it and there are no reason for me to perform less than perfect. Because in the world of accounting, there are always very straightforward, there are only 'right' and 'wrong'.

There are nothing like 'thinking box' in the world of accounting, everything is in the book, hence, you can get all your answer in you small little text book. Similar to the world where I was raised, we were trained to do 'good' things, 'follow' order and listen the 'right' one from the seemingly 'right person, healthy environment, etc'. I was not encourage to ask and being curious of things outside the box. When you behave in the socially accepted matter, you are the 'good' kid, and if you behave outside the 'social boundary', you are the 'bad' kid. Kids who demonstrated outrageous behavior (i.e. had awesome idea, willing to violate teachers opinion, who seek 'free thinking', etc) are not acceptable, that is, openness to experience, describe by psychology model.

While management and economy is different, everything has no boundary, there are always someone who had a different opinion from you, always conflicting ideas and opinions. Similar to psychology, where everything is in a 'mess'. I remembered asking my senior how to perform better in my psychology units, and he told me it was hard for most Asian as we were not trained to think the way, while Caucasian had different mind concept with them.

Before I took psychology, I had received advice from different adults suggesting it was a really hard course, I had no fear at all. Up until I started learning, I realise everything is not in the book. Everyone is arguing different p.o.v. The lectures are not explaining from the book. Research was conducted from 6637426347264738642 sources out there.

My point is, I might not do well in psychology compare to most Caucasian, but I learn so much from it, where I started to 'think of the box', and 'listen opinion by not believing 100%' (and things that are not tested).

My mum would have still be unhappy for me to take psychology, but I really hope one day I could bring her to the world of psychology, where the world seems endless, where the world has no boundaries, and so much to explore. I once told someone, studying psychology is like at the end of the day, you realize you learn nothing, because there are no exact answer. And the philosophy of the knowledge is integrate more and more ideas. 

And yes I am very happy because I had become more critical thinker than last time, I did not agree with people easily (doesn't mean I'll argue), but I will provide my opinion on that matter. The best lesson I learn from social psychology is that 'the best model is always the one where you keep counter argue and then it's still strong at the end of the argument'.

That is why, most of the time, I would encourage people to think at different point of view when they are arguing with themselves. I know there are no exact answer to support one particular model, but then by standing away from yourself and look at the world differently is always the wisest way to do your own thinking.

p/s: After listening to my friend on how bad the psychology in Malaysia, I am so fucking glad that I did my degree at OZ :D
P/P/S: NO, there are not pics about me, sowwwwyyyyyy

Some random post that might not interest you

So tomorrow is my final paper, at the same time of feeling excited, I also miss group study with my uni mates. You never know  how hard to get close friends at uni, but for this semester, studying is so much fun with these dudes. I miss you guys  !!!!! But most of you are leaving after this semester, hopefully I can get new friends for the following semester。

The thing about end of exam could excite me, but at the same time I also don't like the feeling of 'suddenly nothing to do', you get what I mean?? It's like waking up realizing you are blank and nothing. But good thing for this summer holiday is I'm going for a China field trip, which I am really looking forward, can't wait to go ShangHai. At least for a month I'm occupied, but I think for that 2 months in Malaysia I must plan something in case I am too free and waking up to wait for sleeping again =.= WTF. Hoping to learn sewing, and also hoping my mum would get me a sewing machine and I hope I can really do something, and also helping grandma to bake some cake, biscuit, etc, helping mummy to think about the interior of our new sweet house, checking out with friend, must must must practice piano and calligraphy, read newspaper to posh up my English and Chinese, etc.

Anyway, must really plan so that I feel occupied, hate the feeling of too free and nothing to do.

Random facts that most you might know already:

1. Kenwooi.com is the feature blogger for this month, so happy for him
2. Nuffnang is in China, Oh My Gawd
3. I miss my friend
4. Saw one vintage bag that my sister might like, hope my mum will get one for her she is here
5. Mummy says she could buy me a UGG boots for my trip to China :D
6. I really think I am awesome

Lanvin for H&M

Lanvin for H&M is releasing on 23th of November, one of the store is located in HangZhou, so excited as i am going there soon. But Ronny told most likely to have crazy long queue to grab this stuff, and will be selling like hot cakes. I'll be deriving at 29th, assuming nothing much left =.= Not going to arrange any of this
