o36. Run like the wiiind!

Run For The Nation (RunNat) 2009

Organised by a network in Malaysia, every state has several teams to run throughout the whole state. Penang alone has about 200+ people running, and that morning, there were thousands of other people running with us in other states! I thought it was pretty cool, cause I'm just a sucker for events like these :D I joined the run with WeiSern, Darren, and Pragas as our team manager (because he can't run HAHA jokes :P).

We trained 2 days before, and the muscle aches and sores were still tangible! Not fun, my friends :P

But this is no ordinary marathon/run. The thing is, we have to pray aloud while running, as in pray for the nation and y'know, big things. It was pretty tough, but though hard to believe, the praying made it easier. It was an awesome event, because it shows that youths and young people can do great things for God :)

"Let's all do some jumping jacks!"

Gosh. Why do I have so many pictures of me doing things like these? ._.

Obviously very excited about something Sern said :P

Team manager, Praggy :))

Nonsensical warm up before the 5km run! Hee.

Aww. Happy running times! :P

We look so positively fit, like for a fitness ad campaign crap :P HAHA.

Getting the prayer card, with the list of prayer items :)

Wooh so pro, reaching the destination! :P

Us with the certificates after the run!
Looking all sweaty and.. blergh, yeah :P

JOIN NEXT YEAR, OKAY? :D

o35. I Enjoy Studying. No, really. :)

Had a good time studying -yes, actually studying- at Queens with Sern today :)
But first, we went lunch, because on the way driving to Queens, I realized that I haven't had my lunch. I know, I'm so insightfully (no, it is not a word) smart. :) So he brought me for Pan Mee at some place in BJ. He is such a man with great directions, I call him my walking GPS. He really is :)
Yes it was my first time having Pan Mee! It was yumm!

A slice of heaven in every spoonful :)

Left for Queens and studied at Starbucks in Borders. Did one Pure Math paper. Made a few mistakes, got roughly around 85. So unsatisfied. One thing that irritates me about completing Pure Math papers is that it's so time-consuming! Since one paper is one hour and 45 minutes. Pfft. Mind you, there are 8 years, which means 16 papers. 32 hours spent on Pure Math revision. Very nice :)

Sern brought me for a treat at Paddington's because he claimed that I deserve a break for doing well for my practice test! :)

It looks so repulsive, but trust me it was satisfyingly gooood :D
Especially the blackberries :)

Haven't tried JCo's yet (I know, I'm so outdated). Bought one measly donut, which I chose, because it was so adorable! Look at its shape, like molecules! Heee.

It was- NOT. YUMMY.
It tasted so bad, I immediately texted B to tell her how disgusting it was.
People, I'm not even exagerating (damn it, the spell checker keeps underlining my word! How DO you spell exagerating? grr*)
Oh, just googled. It's EXAGGERATING. Ahh, who would've thought. Double g's :\

Edited on 27th Oct: I'm sorry. J Co's doughnuts are actually really yummyyy! Just don't try this, cause it tastes horrible ): Went again last week and gosh they were so delicious! Teehee :)

Sern :)
OH, I bought the bag in the picture on an online blogshop. Isn't it pretty? :)
So vintage-classic-Chanel inspired. Without the Chanel logo of course :P
I got it at a reasonable price too! :)

Walked across the road for dinner at Kapitan. Mmm, Mamak is good for the soul.
Dropped by Jan's on the way back. Ahh I miss her so much. She's so easy to love, and gosh; how strong she is in covering her worries. Grr but yet so fragile at the same time :)
I love you, my person. :)

Pure Math AS Exam tomorrow!
Yes, this is IT. Ace it or flunk it. No in-betweens :\

Have been practicing lots for this one; challenging myself with a clock, doing tests repeatedly, having a fun challenge to train for time in the discussion room with Belle & Daniel.
I really need to nail this one.
It's time to let the Pure Math paper experience a taste of my wrath! :P
Jesus, help me.

o34. Thrift stores & vintage charms.

I've always been into vintage crafts, and things like that. Here are some of the websites I absolutely love, and the things they have to offer! :)

Lisa Leonard Online

I love the typewriter font, which gives it such an old school feeling :)

I am a huge sucker for monogrammed items (keychains, necklaces, lockets, etc.)

Hugs & kisses necklace :)

What I love, is also her blog. She takes beautiful photographs and she has such a wonderful family :) This blog is in a way, inspiring, because it makes you see the beauty in everyday happenings and events :) Listen to me, getting all sentimental :') Haha.

Just Something I Made

She makes all kinds of funky stuff! Really, no one tops all her projects and DIY tutorials and ideas :) TWO WORDS: Creativity redefined.




Making a family crest above the fireplace :)

TURN THIS..



Into this!

A three-tiered turn table for tea parties, or for storage purposes :)


Transferring the ornate details on this sewing machine..


...onto her leather sketchbook!
It's so pretty, I reckon!
I looovee things like that. Ahh, so much talent really :)


Using only a penny and those Decals 'tattoo' stick-on thingies, to make..

..a vintage charm necklace! :)I love quirky vintage things like that. The ones which people normally wouldn't wear nowadays, haha :)

There are TONS of other stuff I wish I can show you guys!
I hope you'll go over to their blogs and enjoy marveling over all the little things as much as I did!
I wish Malaysia has thrift stores & garage sales! Do inform me if you happen to know of any vintage thrift stores or anything! :)

XX.

o33. Omegle, lmao :)

I know, I'm horrible. :(
You don't want to read this blog anymore because I don't update and I leave my readers abandoned and forsaken.
It's okay, I get it.
*wipes tears away & walks off dejectedly into the sunset*

HAHAHAHA BUT ANYWAYS! I'm back, so yes I don't have to walk off into the horizon! :)
& yes, I know I said my next update will be what I did on Merdeka. This was ages ago, but yes I'm still gonna post it up anyways because I promised 0:) hee.
Okay I'm getting so redundant now!

Celebrated Merdeka Eve at Aunty Cynthia's.
Insanely great cook with a kitchen to match! :)
This was yum. I'm a sucker for baked potatoes. Hello, calories! :P

Sis said this looks like a slimming/weight loss advert. Haha so contradictory to my comment on my previous picture :P

We dressed up in Merdeka colours! Haha :)
Oh, the patriotism.

After dinner, we left for Queens & met up with Ainhur (Yes, Ainhur. "A combination of Einstein & Ben Hur" haha or so he says :P) and another guy. Heh forgot his name. Sis's friend. :\


Horrible! UGH.

They're so pretty srsly :)



The Awesome.
You know it ;)

Lil sis.

My very funny joke which no one laughed to :(
STAR - BUCKS :D GET IT?
*cricket*
Right, so anyway moving on...



Got to watch pretty fireworks too, though it lasted for only like less than 10mins. Boo :\
A collage of all the fireworks that night :)

My favourite, by far. Look so chandelier-like :)

Just talked to ShuMei, my very close friend in Sydney.
She introduced me to this website.

It's basically where you just talk to random people, without blowing off your identity. It's fun unless you get weird horny people. But other than that, it's hilarious!
You can be anyone you wanna be. It's pretty funny :)
Here's an example of my conversation with some dude from Taiwan, as I later on found out.
[Stranger being the other guy, and You is.. me :D]

Stranger: hi stranger

You: Stranger? You mean, you don't know me?!

You: :O

Stranger: haha

You: How could you!

Stranger: oh!!!!

Stranger: i remembered u

You: Ahh, i thought so too.

Stranger: we met at school this morning , right???

You: Totally.

Stranger: how's martin?? he looks not so good today

You: I know. Tell me about it.

You: That rumor has not been doing him any good.

Stranger: poor martin

You: Aren't you his bestfriend? What, are you backstabbing him or something?

You: Some friend you are.

Stranger: no

Stranger: i didn't so somehting like that

Stranger: i promise

You: You did. I can't believe you.

Stranger: i am his best friend.. and i would sell him out :D

You: I'm gonna post it up on Gossip Girl.

You: You are so screwed tomorrow morning.

Stranger: woundn't*

Stranger: haha

You: I wouldn't be laughing if I were you.

Stranger: fret not

You: I'd move at least 5 states away.

Stranger: really??

Stranger: but i am not u :d

You: Aha.

Stranger: i will stay here and wait for u to come

You: Brilliant, brilliant.

Stranger: u can kill me but don't "murder" me

You: It's okay. I'll see you in school 2mrw anyway.

You: Oh you bet i'll murder you.

Stranger: sure

Stranger: yeah

You: But you're not worth getting my hands dirty. I'll get Martin to do it.

Stranger: martin won't do it , trust me

Stranger: ;D

Stranger: are u amercian??

You: Nooo.

Stranger: haha , bad guess

You: I'm Malaysian. Try looking it up.

Stranger: cool

You: That was a good guess actually.

You: You? :]

Stranger: am taiwanese

You: Haha nice. I went to taiwan last year!

You: In december. It was not as cold as i expected :\

Stranger: really??

Haha and it moved on to other stuff from there, and I talked to him about Malaysia & stuff. It was cool :) Haha entertaining as well.
You get different responses all the time!
Tip: Do it with a friend beside you, it'll be twice as funny. Trust me ;)
