I passed!

Felt compelled to write a blog post today heh.

So I passed my driving test yesterday. Wow it seems like ages ago but I just checked the date on my laptop and yep, it was yesterday.

Oh and I totally forgot to mention in previous posts that I failed my test two weeks ago lol. Freaking tester only gave me 8/20 for the road part even for stuff I didn't do wrong like driving above the speed limit =_= I only drove slightly, slightly above 40 km/h and that was on the main roads OKAY MISTER. But whatever. WHATEVER. It's in the past now *hmph*

So yeah.. had to retake again yesterday. Talked to a girl who had just finished and she told me her tester was super fierce so I quickly went up to another guy heheh..

Okay tester this time was so different from the last one. He kept telling me tak boleh perlahan-perlahan cuz you'll block other people blah blah so most of the time he kept telling me to tekan minyak lol. Drove about 60 km/h and realised I've actually never driven that 'fast' before hahah. Kinda fun compared to driving with ze uncle who always tells me not to care about other people and just go slowly. Sloooowlyy...

Didn't even finish the route this time! The guy said cuz if I finish then I'll make more mistakes and I'll fail lol. He was all 'You mau fail ke? Tak mau ah balik lah' He probably just wanted to get me over with and passed me cuz they'll have more work to do if I failed lol -.- (I didn't pay that 'extra bit of $$' in case you're wondering)

So anyways enough with the driving stories even though I have more wahahah!

Went for lunch with Lime, Aleh, Chang Min (Mae) Yi and (Chu) Yao at Parade after that. Went to this restaurant I've never tried before; Rocusa  or something? Next to MP, Taiwanese food. Wasn't really expecting much and yep, I didn't think much of the food. Or the milk tea either.

Forgot to bring my camera again so yep, more Instagram pictures!

Watch my iPod balance precariously at the edge of the table lolol

Look at Yi and her jelly hahah. Stolen from Lime's Instagram.

All of us went to Popular after lunch. And btw can you believe I've bought yet another book? Yep.. Divergent by Veronica Roth. Couldn't resist, too many wonderful reviews. And I have a feeling I'll be buying Insurgent tomorrow when I go to Jusco! Probably, since I'm already planning to. Gotta stop this after Insurgent. Self-control, Faith. Self-control.

Bought test pads and paper clips and then went home with Chang Min! We finally finished and recorded the cover that we'd tried playing with in April. Without You meets Just The Way You Are. Wooh! It definitely wasn't perfect and I cringe every time I hear the beginning where I come in, but it's presentable lah. :D It's uploaded onto Facebook and here's the link if you haven't seen it. Check it out! :) Chang Min was super freestyle, she's a genius fyi lolol.

Anyway I'm gonna go read Divergent now. I'm on page 115 and so far it's really good! :)

Shopaholic

Whoa so hi. I'm back to blogging once a week again now.

Anyways, I got my new Macbook!


Just gonna steal pictures from my Instagram this time cuz I'm that lazy :D

I 'm actually not super impressed with this laptop. I don't know if it's just mine, but it heats up super fast and it doesn't help that it's body is made of aluminium. At least I think it is lolol. And when I'm doing stuff using iMovie the whole thing just slows down. Isn't the processor supposed to be faster -_- My previous laptop worked perfectly fine when it was brand new and this one just gave so many problems. I even prefer the white Macbook's design to this one.

Can't even put this laptop on my lap cuz it's just too hot. Weng Kin wants to try frying an egg on it tomorrow lol. Might bring it back for a checkup because it doesn't make any sound at all even though it's so hot! Think there might be something wrong with the fan gah.


So anyways went to Sam Tet for symphony practice yesterday. Taught Lime, Sze Wei and Yan Xian the basics for cello wahaha. Tempted to post Lime's challenge accepted photo on here but she'll kill me (Hi Lime!) so you can go to WengKin's Instagram to check it out if you want LOL.

By the way, his Instagram username is guava123, courtesy of meee ;) 

Went to watch Madagascar 3 after that, pretty good! Can't wait to watch Brave though, the trailer made it seem awesome.

Baskin Robbins after that! Had a RM3 off voucher so we got the waffle ice cream.

Doesn't look that nice :/ and the chocolate sauce hardened as soon as they put it on the ice cream boohoo. 

Watson's after that because Lime wanted to buy a cleanser. Aleh and I kept promoting the Biore one but Guava put it down! >:( Lime got a Neutrogena in the end. 

And as expected since Watson's is my shopaholic weakness, I had to get something lolol. (Blame Lime for going to the skincare section.) Got this NuTeen trial kit for RM8.50 without even checking what products were inside so typical of me.

Too lazy to get my camera out just for this so I stole this picture from someone's blog I found on Google WAHAHAH.

I've never tried this brand before so I was curious. Nyeehhh. I can't usually tell which products are good because my skin is so affected by other things like, you know, that time of the month. And sugary foods - another weakness gah darn my sweet tooth. 

And during that whole week in Taiwan I didn't get enough sleep, drank hardly enough water (I was dehydrated 70% of the time), ate unhealthy food and wore either sunblock or BB cream every single day which my skin definitely did NOT like. Broke out so bad on my left cheek which almost never happens! I get all my pimples on my chin or forehead. Surprisingly nose doesn't really get anything even though it's part of the T-zone.

Ohoh and I got a book at Popular! (yep, another one) My blog is like my record of all the things I buy wth.

Cuz I'm too lazy to take a picture of the actual thing, heheh

Which makes four of Philippa Gregory's books that are sitting in my bookshelf, still unread. I have soo many unread books! I do admit I have a problem... 

Oh and I ordered seven books online the other day, when I told mum I was only getting one. She was so ready to skin me alive when I told her after that. Oops :X

Going off to college this Saturday some more! How to finish all my books argh! Currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens cuz I think it's part of my reading list. So far, just so-so only. Oh, friend me on Goodreads if you wanna be updated on my reading adventure lol.

So yeahh... I've been playing way too much Tetris recently cuz I'm going to stop once I start college. And I'm going for my last PPO practice later, toodles!

Update and change of plans!

Long time no blog. Quick update here, cuz I'm still not sure whether I wanna blog about the Taiwan trip.

Heading to KL again tomorrow, having my cello lesson again on Wednesday. Performance is in two weeks! I'm so unprepared.

For those whom I've told that I'm going to Negeri Sembilan for A-Levels, I've changed my mind. Going to Methodist College KL instead :) Reasons I'd rather not disclose, but it's much cheaper there and I like it as much as, if not more than KTJ. Just hoping that I don't go out too often :/

But I'm super excited to be studying again! Seriously did I just say that lol. But idling at home has been kinda tiring recently. I couldn't work and stuff because of my music lessons and exams, and cello lessons are still going on now. I couldn't even enjoy going online and playing games or whatever, I just feel like I should be doing something else.

So I've been practising with ze exam takers Xinlin and Pooi Ye (I'm not even sure whether this is the right spelling lol, and she's my junior!) these few days, good luck to them and hope I don't freaking screw up!

Getting a new lappie, finally! *runs around in happy circles* :D Mum said it's because I'm saving money by not going to KTJ, lol. But seriously this laptop really gets on my nerves sometimes. The number of times it's moved pieces by itself in Tetris Battle, or just lags for the longest time =_=

Been finishing up the third book in the Game of Thrones series, SO GOOD. Even though R. R. Martin always kills people off :( I'll be starting on Great Expectations soon, part of the reading list for college ^_^

Yahh, so toodles for now! So excited to be getting ready for college, finally!

Taiwan haul!

So everyone who has been to Taiwan knows it's impossible to come back without doing some shopping :P Haullll!!!

Sorry for the crappy pics I'm not feeling that great today and my camera was running out of battery.. so yeah.

Stopped by at this music shop which sold some instruments and scores and stuff so I got these :) 

 From another music shop! Super cheap RM30 only! I don't need a new one right now but I figured I will in the future! Lol.

Got four boxes of the pineapple su hahah. Lazy to take separate pictures. 

 Got two of each :) Just tried a green tea one and it was goood.

 More mochi! But only one of each.

 Missha BB cream. Really small 20 ml only gah.

 For lime! RM40 wth i think they sell it RM60 over here.

 Got four packets of this lolol. Buy 1 free 1 okay.

 Again the laziness kicks in. Got the Burt's Bees lip balm for about RM15. And the Velcro hair thingy cuz believe it or not, I don't have one of these.

 Yay! I remember loving this shop when we visited Taiwan last year. Spent so much time in there! At Danshui btw.

 Eheheh four packs! I wanted more but mum wouldn't allow. I got the Black Pearl, Pearl Powder, Strawberry Yogurt and Japanese Cherry Blossom.

 RM22 only for one box! and 7-Eleven had a discount RM20 per box some more wth. Costs about the same in Hong Kong tooo.

 Just cause the packaging is pretty hahah.

 Got a bracelet at the same stall where I got this last year! They still had the same bracelet lolol.

 Had to get shoes cuz I didn't last year. Not that cheap RM30+ but whatever.

Stupid adaptor which doesn't work. RM40 =_=

Got some hair ties too and a bag but I couldn't find the hair ties and I forgot to photograph the bag. Heheh. Oh and two individual My Beauty Diary masks which I got just cuz it was RM7 for two. :P

I also got Mercy by Jodi Picoult but no need for pictures right. You've seen it in bookstores.

So that's it! Super short and easy blog post and not that much stuff actually. Hahah.
