The Close of Yet Another Chapter in my Life >.~

It's the end of another year again. Time really flies, in just a blink of an eye another year had flown by and I feel that I have tons of stuff that I have yet to do. *sigh* However, either way the saying 'time waits for no man' is really accurate. For if you let time pass you by, it's gone forever. There is no way to turn back time and even if there is, well in my opinion, where's the fun in life if you were able to re-do something in the very same moment as you had the first time? You Only Live Once, right? #YOLO I think I only completed like 5/12 of my resolutions in 2014! XD hahahah pathetic! I know! However, I did a lot of other things instead. It was a year full of unexpected events and gifts. I love them all. Especially all the time spent with my loved ones, those precious memories are ones that I would hold and keep safely locked away in my heart to reminisce sometime in the future. :) Let's recount some of my favourite moments throughout the entire year of 2014. :) 


My favourite would have to be my recent getaway to Bali, Indonesia. I absolutely love getaways and also travelling. It is absolutely one of my favourite things to do! Travelling brings us new memories and experiences in new places as well as strengthen our bonds. I think that I enjoyed every getaway throughout the whole 2014. There was another earlier in the year where I went to Port Dickson and the Malacca. That was another really amazingly relaxing trip. I would like to revisit these places again sometime. In my opinion, I would say, 'Great company + Great food makes a trip worthwhile no matter where you're headed'. My one wish is to make more treasured memories with my loved ones. At the end of the day, that is all I truly ever wanted. :) 


Next would definitely have to be the festivals!! XD No matter the festival, I definitely enjoyed it to the fullest. This is the time where you would be able to get to know a different culture altogether! I usually try to attend as many open houses as possible. :D Still my favourite festival is definitely Chinese New Year! All the 'Ang Pau' you get to collect and also the reunions with family members and the gatherings and the food!! OMG! The food is one thing I love most about Chinese New Year. That plus amazing company equals a totally amazing and unforgettable memory! heheh


Well, my next favourite would definitely be birthdays! XD Be it mine *i definitely love mine best* or someone else's, I love the planning, the presents and the celebration itself. I also love surprises and I got my fair share this year for my 20th birthday! I grateful that I have amazing friends that I can and will keep for life which are also there with me during the ups and downs. Not to mention my family which is there with me for the rest of eternity! hahah no matter how annoying I get, they always tolerate and help me get back on track! HAH! There's just too much to say about the amazing people that I have met and kept along the way to this point in my life and I'll leave that for another time. :)


Now to move on to my next favourite thing this year. It would definitely have to be the unexpected christmas gifts that I have received from Santa *I totally believe in Santa even though I'm no longer considered a kid* If you're wondering whether I would reveal these totally amazing but unexpected gifts that I received, well HAHA. I'm so not telling you what it is. I'll just tell you a little bit of what it is though. :D The first gift would be me totally caught by unawares of the joy that I thought I wouldn't be able to feel again. So thank you for that. Aaaannndddd the second gift would be in the realisation of a revelation of something truly important to me. :) That's all I'm gonna say about this. It's really vague, I know but then again if I made it obvious then there's no fun in guessing is there? :P The truth is that I am far too shy to divulge such deep thoughts of mine here for everyone to read. Perhaps in the near future when I have gained more courage.. 


Well, that's the end of my favourite things for this year. did you notice? I purposely wrote 4 favourite things since the last number for this year is 4. >.< My new year resolutions will be stated every month if I have achieved that, as usual. I hope I fulfil every single one of them in 2015. :P One thing I know is that I have and entire new list of resolutions which are not the same as compared to 2014. I might try to complete some in between but being the lazy bum I am, I highly doubt it. >,< Hahah this is all I've gotta say for my last post in 2014. I hope 2015 will bring even greater memories for me to add to my treasure box. 


At the stroke of 12 tonight, my entire slate will be wiped clean and this would be the end of my 20th chapter in life. Thus, when tomorrow comes, it brings with it the 21st chapter of my life and a new white piece of paper and also some utensils for me to colour, doodle, draw, scribble, and yeah you get the point. hahah So.... till tomorrow comes, Sweet Dreams and Happy New Year! May the new year bring joy and happiness!

An Amazing and Awesome Getaway!

As promised my next post is about my getaway that I have been looking forward to since few months back. (I forgot which month and so we shall just leave it at that XD ) At first we were supposed to go to Bangkok, but that failed and so it became a trip to Bali on the 22nd of December. I was equally excited as it was a trip where I get to run away from my responsibilities and reality even if it was just for a span of 5 days. That's all I need. :D I absolutely hate it when assignments, homework and revision for finals all piled on me. Hate the pressure but that at least beats the boredom of having nothing to do. Yeah time flies. It's almost 2015 and I haven't even completed my list of 2014 new year resolutions yet. Ugh I'm getting sidetracked again. I shall continue that of new years and the resolutions in the next post and talk more of my holiday here. hahah. Well, to begin with, this is mostly going to be filled with a lot, I really do mean a lot of photos. :D I feel that this is one of the times where pictures would be better able to explain than words and so I'll be using more photos to illustrate the entire trip. Take it to be like a picture book. hahah




Day 1





Breakfast before the flight. :)






In the waiting area.






A random Selfie before takeoff :D






The view of the sky and the sea and being able to see the horizon. :P







When we touched down in Bali






When bored, take a selfie :D






Basically bored us in the van. Extreme case of boredom. 




 Day 2





Dolphin viewing early in the morning.









This is an amazing experience there was also a little baby dolphin. The only frustrating thing was that when the Dolphins surface and swim together in a straight line, the boats would all speed over to get a closer look and then they would end up cutting into the direction which the Dolphins are swimming in and the Dolphins wouldn't resurface again. :( All in it was a really fun and amazing experience. :) would love to go dolphin viewing again! :) 












Delicious Pork Ribs for lunch! :D






Pork Ribs for dinner. :)


These pork ribs are the best I've tasted so far. It was juicy and had sufficient proportions of lean and fat meat. So amazing. I'm drooling as I type this out. 




Day 3 





Waiting to go for an early morning hike. *these two have spammed my phone with selfies and wefies for the entire 5 days*







Hiking to take a look at the paddy field.



After hiking and not even seeing a single paddy field, however, we saw field after field of 'lalang', *I have no idea what's it called in English* ><, we went white water rafting. :D It was really fun and a new experience for me. I truly enjoyed myself there. Our guide was also super friendly and was super helpful as well. The river water was truly refreshing! :D 






Wefie under the waterfall during white water rafting! XD







A break halfway down the river! :D 


The funny thing here was during the hike back! I was a extremely exhausted from hiking back up to the restaurant to have lunch and I kept asking 'are we there yet?', then the guide asked me if I wanted a piggy back hahah and he asked me multiple times too. XD Of course I gracefully refused each time, only to continue whining about how tired and heavy my feet were... heheh


Temple by the sea. 




Where this alien come from? Is it gonna eat me???





A wefie in an empty field. 


Oh and something interesting happened here. There were these super random people standing at the archway and as Kee Ming and I were waiting for the rest of them to be done taking their photos, this girl asks us to take a selfie with them. I was like I take for you? But they said no... We take together. I was like woah.. did I become famous overnight? The randomness of people can still surprise me in a  way. :P 





Then at night we had dinner at a restaurant. This is where we had dinner on a gazebo. This is where our table was sort of like on a porch and it was on the water in a lake! ;) it was so cool! The food there was also quite good! 





all trying to squeeze on that tiny platform and not fall into the pond while trying to make sure the photo turns out alright. 





While waiting for the food.... Wefie!! 





Why the food taking so long?? *pouts*





Finally the food is here!! 😍😍 




Tadaaaa! Dessert! A mixed fruit punch! Everything was sweet save for the strawberries which were extremely sour! >.<






Day 4





Breakfast before we go for water sports. :D







A photo of Kee Ming and I when we were waiting for our turn on the Fly Board! XD






My mum, Wen Ee and I also waiting our turn on the fly board excluding my mum. She didn't do it. 








That's lil' me standing on water yo! Yeah feast your eyes on that! XD








Sitting at the beach waiting for dinner. Mums have gone off surveying while we decided to stop and take a break since there's such a nice view.









Siew Ling(left) and Wen Jun(right) wondering why is it taking so long just to get a photo taken. 







Another selfie of me by the beach! :D








A wefie as we were playing on the beach, Wen Jun(from the left), me and Wen Ee.








Trying to catch the sunset with us in the photo. It was hilarious trying to take that particular photo. 





And yes, we have the tendency to take lots of selfies and wefies. XD







The beautiful sunset where you think you would only see in the TV. :P








The ocean has swallowed up the sun and the moon has  come out to play. :D









Everyone together and celebrating christmas! XD Best feeling ever. 





Day 5

On the last day, we went shopping and I got a new hat and a cap! xD It looks like I have ticked off another 2 items off my to-buy list. heheh






Wefie-ing in the van. And yes I've gotten addicted to Pokki!! >.<









Our last day, here and we are as usual taking photos at the airport before takeoff!

An Unexpected Visit!! :D

Hey guys! I've finally found some time to blog again. This is so bad, I should not stray away from my goals set by me. hahah I should stop straying and stick to the path. :P which I doubt I can do, but anyways that's not the point I'm stressing here for now. Straying from the path has its merits too, I get to do lots of fun stuff and adventurous too. 


Today's post was supposed to be about my amazing holiday and what a good time I had during that trip but I'm gonna have to delay that to post about even more amazing news!! I have met BOEY in REAL LIFE and had a chat with him! Like for real!! and not a lie! I'm not seeking for attention here nor will I ever pull a stunt to do so but I seriously met him in PERSON!!! I'm so excited right now! hahahahahaha He's an amazing writer and a person. This guy is really funny and easy to chat with, though I was a little bit shy and stuttering here and there. He's one of those people that is really easy to get a long with. Before I continue fangirling, I should tell you from the start. 


Handsome right? I know. :D


Okay, I'll start form the beginning, first my cousin, Mandy told us that Boey was coming to my cousin, Weng Yew's house to play Street Fighter. I thought that she was just pulling our legs and seriously I did not believe that for a single second. Until my other cousin Weng Yew said Boey was really coming.. Even then I was skeptical. Who knows? Till the photo of Boey came up, then I was like this shit just got real man! Then, I started asking for photos and all. Typical! I know right! :D Finally, I gave in and went over to meet him. I was so nervous at first but after he started the conversation, the butterflies went away and the flow was there. We chatted for awhile then we when Mandy and Jessica arrived we chatted for awhile more and went out to get supper for some of us and a late dinner for the rest. We mostly talked about his travels and some other things, and also some bit of our lives. Then, it came time to say good bye. *sounds so sad* haha those that want an autograph got one and then we went our separate ways. There were also some life lessons that were added into the conversation but nah I'm not going to write them out here. hahah 


#wefie! 


Anyways, that's all I'm sharing. :P Till the next post. :D 


His Autograph! :)

P.S I will post about my getaway in the next post. Don't worry ;)
