Excited!

I will be going to London and Paris in 5 days, and Korea 3 days after!
Oh my god, so excited.
Which means more rubbing into people's faces blogging material, since my blog is quite dead now.
I'll also bring my camera, so there will be pictures to spice this blog up!

I hope I can bring my lappie to the trips, so it saves the "omgwtf where did I go again" moments. Hopefully there's free internet there, or I would just.. type like a lifeless person on Microsoft Word.

Anyway, I've been really lifeless today.
I've been watching YouTube videos (like Britain's Got Talent etc) and reading manga (Otomen to be exact). LOLFAIL. When I could be blogging some awesome shit. LOLFAILEVENMORE.


Also. Last week of school until the Christmas holidays.
I can't wait. I'm can't contain this excitement and dsfdfsdfsgdfgdfgf.

Singapore

Just came back from Singapore a few hours ago. And I would say that Singapore is awesome in the shopping department. The food was average, but expensive; because of the currency. Pffft.
I enjoyed shopping there so much. I stayed in Singapore Marriott in Orchard Road, and my dad even booked a junior suite. Syiok. I had to sleep in a extra bed though. Still, so awesome.

We flew to Singapore via Firefly; online booked. By my mom. So surprising, but I helped her so that's not as surprising anymore.

The reason we (mom, dad, me) went to Singapore was to shop for winter clothes for the trip to Paris and London. Oho, I can't wait. And 3 days after that, Korea. Also, my dad's friend came along, with his wife and daughter. We were guided around by another of my dad's friend who lives in Singapore.

I didn't bring my camera. Too heavy, meh.

Service in Marriott was so-so. The suite we stayed in was the only one with two queen-sized beds, and was quite spacy. So when we reached Singapore 3 days ago, checked in, and unfortunately the guests haven't checked out yet. My dad released his fury on the staff and us (meaning my mom and I). Couldn't really blame him though; the room was pretty exclusive, and the guest was supposed to check out latest by 2pm. But we waited (aka shopped) until 5pm, but they were still cleaning up. So the staff just gave us a temporary room to dump our stuff.

While waiting for the room to be finished - around 2pm-5pm - we shopped around at Ion. Ion has quite a load of stuff, and there was Uniqlo there! I love Uniqlo, homigosh. I regretted not visiting the really huge one in Isetan, in Tokyo. But ended up shopping in the airport, but that was like almost a year ago, so um. Nevermind.

Anyways, the Uniqlo there was quite big. I love Uniqlo's clothes because they're simple and stylish! And, of course, comfortable. I bought quite a load of stuff there, and it was just the first day. So my mom said, 'I guess we bought what we already need...' But of course, nothing is enough. *wink*


What you can see here are things from Uniqlo.
Black cap-hat-thing-IDK, dark skinny jeans, checkered long shirt, graphic long shirt/dress.
What you can't see because of my lousy photography skills are another pair of gray skinny jeans, and some lala-looking knee socks (which my mom bought for me).



For dinner, we ate some SGD20 or SGD25 chicken rice in Mandarin Oriental. It was good, but too expensive! That's like 60 ringgit for a soup, rice, chicken, with three different sauces; black sauce, chili (I don't know what it's called), ginger. But I'd have to admit, the chicken was delicious. So tender and juicy, nomnomnom.

The next day, ate breakfast at some executive breakfast thing in the hotel. The food choices were so little. My dad's friend went downstairs to the tea there, there was a bigger variety. So we decided to eat there the next day.

After eating breakfast, we went shopping. Which is the whole point of this trip. So we went to Takashimaya, which is also another shopping complex. Zara, Forever 21, Cotton On, Topshop etc etc. Paradise! There were many department stores too, like Isetan etc.

I also love Cotton On. They recently opened a store in Malaysia - the shop is a little like the other younger generation brands, like Forever 21. And I'm super happy because I wear M size now instead of L/XL. So I was super glad. And did I mention super duper happy?



What you can see here is;
Sequined black tank top, Union Jack shirt, 'parlez vous francais' shirt

I love the shirts in Cotton On. Especially the long ones.





Then I went off to buy some Ray Bans. I've been wanting these for quite a while!
Also, you see the iPhone there? The adorable cover?
It's this..




It's like a man hugging the iPhone. It's called 'iHug', by Trexta; and I bought this in Tangs. You can find it in official Apple product selling places, but it's SGD10 cheaper in Tangs. And Tangs is just beside Marriott. Which is my hotel. So it's just so convenient like that.



Bought this too at Tangs; Union Jack laptop sleeve by Pat Says Now. I think the thoughts of going to London is getting to my head.

Tried Mos Burger. We don't have any Mos Burger in Malaysia, so I decided to drag everyone to try.
We ordered like 6 burgers, one for each person. It was average; the special one was the yakiniku rice burger, which is like pieces of beef sandwiched between two rice patties. There was another seafood one also, not bad too. But I think the best one was the normal Mos beef burger. Delish.

I forgot, but we went to a really big shopping mall/convention centre, and just nice it was some cosplaying festival thing. I wanted to go kaypoh for a while, but we were all leaving already. I saw some people dressed up as goth lolitas, Naruto, some bleeding dude, Star Troopers (wtf), and more. Gah!

Had chinese food for dinner, was pretty expensive. I forgot what it was called.. thanks to my awesome memory. *cough*

There was a end-of-sale promotion in Etude House on the way back, and they were giving away free masks, so why not?


Natural jelly cleansing puff (wtf is that IDK my mom told me to use it), black head remover, sunblock, eyeliner (finally, my own), and a cute free facial cloth wrapped like a muffin.

There was actually two of the cute muffin facial cloth thing, but my mom took the pink one.
Ah well. Also, they gave free masks too. And I got a free membership card, which is useless in Malaysia. But it looks so adorable. So pretty, tiny and pink.

The next day, ate at the lobby breakfast area as promised; was alright. Like any other breakfast you get in hotels. There was about 4 hours until we went back to Malaysia, so we.. shopped. Nothing much today, because we wouldn't want to walk too far in case we miss the plane.



So I got this skirt.. which are like bloomers inside. Quite puffy. I'm probably going to wear it to Europe with knee socks so I can look like a lala and nobody will care because nobody from Malaysia can see me with my lalaness so I won't be embarrassed.

But not really (but maybe).


I need to make up my mind.
Anyway, that's all for today - I'm tired, and I still have to go back to school tomorrow.
2 more weeks until the holidays; and expects a ton more pictures from Paris and London!


Note: short (no heeled) boots are hard to find in Singapore. *sadface*

Chocolates



For my aunt's wedding.
Guess who drew the adorable bride & groom, imprinted on the chocolates?

Me lah, of course. DUH WHO ELSE COULD IT BE. *cough*

The art was also included on her wedding invitations. And I keep staring at the chocolates, because I can't believe that something of mine (but not really, because it's for my aunt's wedding but whatever okay) had been imprinted. On chocolate! Both milk and dark chocolate.

I have yet to eat them. But I don't want to.. because.. I can't take on how awesome it feels.
My aunt gave me two extra chocolates, because I won't be going to her wedding on December. I'm going on a holiday instead, wts. *sadface*


I want to eat the chocolates so bad right now, but
i. I'm on a diet.
ii. It's too precious to eat.

Someone help me.

Memories


Credits to Philene.

I've recently been tagged on a picture on Facebook taken around, oh I don't know. 4-5 years ago?
And well, memories kept flooding in. Gosh, looking at myself 4-5 years ago makes me laugh like an idiot; horrible hair + red cheeks + fat. Plus I had horrible teeth that time. I look like Santa Claus (with horrible teeth) omg.
Guess which one am I? Clue: Fat girl, pink striped shirt, oily face, standing up.

I've never seen anyone tagged on the picture in ages, literally. Seeing everyone grown up just makes me feel overwhelmed and kinda shocked. It seemed like just 2 days ago I've seen them; all giggly, chubby children. But oh my goodness, after a few years, they look all mature and stuff.

I sound like a mother who hasn't seen her child for 20 years. *facepalm*

Some of them went outstation; some of them are still here in Malaysia, but in different schools.
How I miss them. *boo*

Sometimes, seeing old pictures just make everyone have this weird bubbly inside of them; making them think "HOMG I REMEMBER THAT TIME" etc etc.
Or maybe that's just me.

I look at baby pictures and videos of myself and I'd be all "Why am I so dumb last time wtf."
But that's how life goes right? So, yeah, live and let live. Whatever that means.

My Top 5 Treat List

Even from my childhood years until now, I've always gotten everything I wanted.
Expensive food, expensive toys, expensive everything. If I don't get it, I'll break down and cry my butt off until daddy decides to buy me that item.

In conclusion, I am extremely spoiled.
I have many things that I want as a treat, so I narrowed it down to 5.

So, let's start with what I want (omg perasan).

#5


I've been wanting this baby, the fisheye lens, for my Nikon D60 for a very long time.
Who doesn't want to take awesome pictures?
Not just awesome, but super awesome professional looking but actually you're just using the lens pictures?

This is what you can get for taking pictures with the lens.

This is the cheating one lah, 'cause this is lomography. But you can get the same effect with the fisheye lens + Photoshop.

#4


I would love to have a car - a Mini Cooper convertible to be exact, in pink!
But wait.. this is mustard yellow! So how you want it in pink, Jane? You got issues ah?

Of course, I whip out my Photoshopping skills, and voila!



Sexy! But my dad says that owning a convertible is not suitable for Malaysia's weather, will be very dusty and I am allergic to dust. Dust + Jane = sneezing, sniffing, half-dying person.

#3
Help world hunger.

(I don't want to post a picture, seeing pictures on Google is hard enough.)

Getting millions of dollars is really hard, but if I do get a million dollars, I would help world hunger.
Seeing as I am always constantly hungry, I feel like crap whenever I think about people being extremely hungry.
But you'll probably see me spending my millions of dollars on luxuries. But I can try to help, right?
I'll also get fatter. So fat = makes me feel bad = give $ to the hungry = win.


#2
+

I've also been wanting Guitar Hero: World Tour/Band Hero for the Wii (plus all the instruments), for quite a long time.
Usually, game consoles + accessories bore me after a while; it's like a fling only lah.
But I love music, I love playing music, even though my skills are quite cacat-ed, but nevermind! Guitar Hero is a different experience amirite?
Plus now I can trick people into coming into my house if I'm a pedophile, I'll be all OHAI WANNA PLAY GUITAR HERO?

But I'm not a pedophile, and not old enough to be, and don't want to be, so forget what I said okay.

#1
But most of all, I want..



This beauty.
The Dell Inspiron 13 laptop.

Why?
The colors. Basic, beautiful glossy colors; pink, red, black, white,


Gosh, wouldn't you love one of those? If you don't, you're a stupid dum-dum okay.
Oho! Beautiful, sexy, sleek, cute - whatever you describe it, it all adds up to awesome. Plain, effin' awesome.

After reading a few blog entries for Nuffnang's contest for the Dell Inspiron 13, I was like 'OMGWTF" and immediately blogged about it. Know more about it here!

I also realized that most bloggers (the ladies lah of course) want the pink and red one. But me leh?
I want the green one.
Not because it matches my nails..

Okay lah it doesn't really match my nails, my nails are darker but you know what I mean lah.

But it's because I want to be different.
I also like how Dell made their laptops look so amazing. *swoon*
With rounded edges (no sharp pointy ones that can jab into your eye), it is ze perfect.

Okay, enough about the appearance, 'cause you shouldn't judge a book by its cover (like I always do)!
Because, Dell made some good specs for it.
Plus, it's light and thin (1.8kg), compared to my heavy and fat self (63kg). Okay that doesn't make sense but FML.

The keyboard is also spill-proof, for the messy people like me! I always put tea & Milo near my laptop. And when I knock it down.. you know what happens lah.

You can find the specs here, and all I know that it's pretty awesome for an adorable laptop like that!

With a small and light laptop, you can travel anywhere with it; in style!
Entertainment, music, communication, all packed into one.

That's why I want it, duh. *wink*
Don't you?


Well, if you don't want to waste your time/life typing a blog post just for a Dell Inspiron 13 (S510701MY), you can buy it - and get a RM100 cash redemption with it! Double happiness!

My ambitions

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been 'busy' with uh.. school. Yeah, school. Yes.
More like lazy.


When I was young, I've always had ambitions. Well, I'm still young, and I still have my ambitions. Many people (especially adults omg) have been asking me, "Jane, what are you going to be when you grow up?" I'd say, "I don't know. I haven't decided yet." And they always end up saying, in shock, "WHAT?! You haven't decided yet? What is wrong with you! You still have 2 years!"

"2 years?" I thought.

Oh shit. 2 years.
2 years would pass really fast.
I don't even know whether it's really 2 years left, with this international syllabus, but. I don't know. I am so clueless right now.

So, I've been thinking, hey! Why don't I make it into a blog post? And add pictures? So my blog gets more interesting?

A random bird pops up in my mind and says, "HELL YEAH YOU SHOULD DO IT!"

(please ignore the fugly pictures of my face.)

As a child, I had the most cliche and.. I don't know, ambition every child wanted.



A doctor.

How unoriginal right? But I did it because every child did. I never wanted to be the weird one out.
But in reality, I never want to be a doctor. After going to the doctors' and hearing what they say, all those complex terms, I just went "Meh," and forgot about being a doctor.



What next? Well, when I was 10, I wanted to be..



An artist.

I still have mixed feelings about this. Artists have to work hard to make good money, socialize, and if no money die lah.
I'd have to live on cup noodles every day then.

As I grew older..



My dad suggested me to go for hotel management in Switzerland.
I have no idea how in the world he got such a specific idea. Maybe it's from reading his books or something. I might go burn his books later (but I don't think I can because he has a load of books and I would kill the environment), but nevermind.

I asked him why, and apparently they pay a lot for hotel management. I don't want to fold laundry and all that okay.



At 13 years old (which was last year only),



I wanted to be an interior designer.
Also suggested by my dad, who said that I had good taste in designing. But that would mean practically memorizing what objects and whatnot.

You see? I even look the part. Holding the IKEA catalogue (which my mom accidentally took back home when we went to IKEA to shop - if you look closely, it says "PLEASE RETURN TO THE CHECK-OUT AS YOU LEAVE." Paiseh.)
I'm wearing my glasses also. Look smarter right!


And now, at 14.



Remains one (not so) bigass question mark.
Why? I don't know.
I have no target right now; I seriously don't know what to do.
I don't want to go down in the wrong lane either.

So, I'll just go with whatever I have; time will tell.
I think I'll be a loser when I grow up.
