Interiors and homes I abslutely adore.

So when it comes to interior design and stuff as such, I go weak in the knees for white-washed, vintage, French and European-esque designs. I'm particular about colour schemes and arrangements/positions of furniture and such. Enjoy! :D

Mmmm :)

The epitome of magical. I've never seen anything quite like this! Completely in awe :O

In the words of Tsu, "Ridiculous and wonderful." :)

I yearn with all my heart for this French window bed! This is my ABSOLUTE dream bed. So dreamy. I would change the bedsheets to something cream-coloured or beige. And maybe have gorgeous lace curtains on the window. Gosh look at me ramble about this!

Mmmmm. Love the vintage clearglass shoerack + all the platforms and slingbacks in there ;)!

This is a bit modern for my liking, but I like the natural lighting in here. And also how the artwork behind the bed is designed as to not clutter the room. It almost seems minimalistic!

This is so beautiful, but it must be quite frustrating when it comes to cleaning the nooks and crannies in between the branches eh? :\ I don't get the boas on the floor too. How odd :S

A secret hideout! Aww so cute :) I love how the faded pink curtains give it a homey feel. It would be so country if it's painted white with a bit of wooden grains showing through :)

How whimsical and dreamy! A cross between Victorian and New York! Love the mustard colour scheme.

Such a lovely idea. I can only imagine how romantic this would be. Hee :)

There you go! I hope you enjoyed my little compilation of all things beautiful ;) Haha. Comment if you love! ;)

Singapore. :)

o72. Can't think of a title, I'm going to watch Germany vs. Spain, bye!

Hello hello! Firstly, here's a massive apology for shamelessly leaving my blog to rot, only with you few good people checking back and reading it. Here's to you, you good good people! *toasts champagne* :) Anyhoos, here's a treat for you fellow inhabitants of my not-anymore dead blog (I hope)! I've edited and filtered every picture here, so you'd better appreciate them! :P

Last Sunday was my Dad's 40th anniversary since the day he graduated from high school. Yes he was from Chung Ling High School! Comment if you're from Chung Ling okay! :D And no, you didn't read wrongly, it is his 40th anniversary. Don't count please, he's that old. But never old at heart, as he constantly reminds me :P
His class of 19-something threw a get-together, visited their alma mater and all that jazz. The family was invited, so we went and invited some friends too bhahaha. It felt like we were crashing the "party", but the uncles and aunties were all so gracious about it, so yay! All is good, lol :) I'll just run you through the event with accompanying pictures, I'm lazy!

001 *Imagines reggae song playing in the background*

Why do I take such good shots? *basks in self-praise* :)) 

002 Ready, set, go.. win ;)

Did I fail to mention that Dad, XiaoWen and I joined the darts mini competition? It was my first time at darts during the practice round and I was mortified, it was a nightmare! But then came the actual competition among all the elderly older men and women, and I won second place (by the grace of God haha)!

I won a skipping rope! I was ecstatic as it has been on my To Buy list for quite awhile now, on top of 'hula hoop'. *Hinthint* ;)

003 Next up was the apple-biting competition. I'm sure you get the drift - get a partner, no hands allowed, first to finish the apple wins.

004 Mom and Dad joined too! Haha I wish I didn't join so I get to watch them! Must've been hilarious, teehee.

005 Us and our very strategic endeavor. It was a good strategy okay! I'll hold the apple in place, XiaoWen will eat it :)

006 Guess what? We won first place bahahha :D Okay mostly because everyone else dropped their apples, but regardless, first place is first place! We won a 'Figure Twister'! I was so excited, I thought it was Twister as in the party game (I've wanted that as long as I have lived), but this was not too shabby a prize! It's fun, I've been spinning on it while watching Gossip Girl and when Mom asks what am I doing, I shout "I'm working out!"(Y) :D

007 KheenHo and LiYen. The CHARM cheerleaders who stay over at my place once every two weeks or so. How cute are they? :)

008 My little hardcore cheerleaders + KheenHo and LiYen. Lovelove* ♥

009 Next on the itenary : Kayaking! :)

See the pink on second from right, second from top? I wanted that the moment I laid eyes on it! But apparently it's a different kind of kayak, which is the 'sit-in' one, which makes it dangerous if I capsized. And I'm so deathly afraid of capsizing, I think if we happen to fall into the water, I'd die of shock and panic before I die of drowning! So we chose the sit-on one instead. *Beams* :)

010 My sisters with our oars :)

011 XiaoWen would be happy to see evidence of me not contributing anything to the rowing, haha! I would row for about 30 seconds and then put down my oars, lol. In my defence, I'm not an avid kayak-er or generally any sport which requires upper body strength. I promise you I have zero upper body strength. It's quite sad, and everyone in my family teases me about it. I am deeply affected by this :'(

012 Err.. me resting again. Heh 0:)

013 Boat ride! :)

014 Aww I love group shots!

015 Another group shot. No, I have no idea what is KheenHo doing.

016 Look at Elizabeth being all queen of the ship boat :D I love this picture of her! She's 13 by the way :)

017 Fav pic collage of the day :)

I love long days spent with my family like that. So much fun! Though I wish we went jetskiing instead. I love jetskis! :D

What's your favourite water sport? :D
And does anyone know the difference between canoeing and kayaking? :\

o71. When I discovered that 'OK' looks like a person sideways, it blew my mind!

THIS IS OVAAAHH :D
I reckon it looks more like a comicbook strip from far than Bio notes :\

Goodbye, colourful Student Manual.

Two more Chem papers to go :)

And then, plans. :)

Haven't really gone full out planning yet haha, but it will come. I've got too many months to waste make my time here as productive as possible ;)

On a completely random note, does anyone know where I can get peacock feathers? :D Comment below if you do! Your answer can't be worse than NiWen's.

"Hey Ni, d'you know where I can get peacock feathers?"

"I don't know Kai, the zoo?"

-______-

o70. You make me cry sparkly tears :*(

HOW FUN IS THIS! :D

Your Mac can't do what my Mac can do! No, I'm just kidding. This isn't one of those Photobooth images, you don't need a Mac for this! Just go to Cameroid.com and go crazy!

Wow, I sound so advertisy and paid but really, I'm not! It's fun, but then the fun just goes downhill from there heh :\ GIVE US MORE EFFECTS, CAMEROID >:[

100 points for you if you noticed the sad smiley (oxymoron)! :D

Oh, speaking of drawings, I recently stumbled across another blog on Gen's blog. Omg it's hilarious! Go check it out for yourself :)

Hyperbole And A Half.

Credits to Gen for posting it up! I'm so addicted to it, it's not even funny. Why am I are people attracted to sadistic animations!?

Anyways, how weird is it that my posts have become routinely SHORT and filled with my pictures mahahahaha >:D I promise long updates after exam's over. CHEM TOMORROW! D:
After tomorrow, three more papers left. Aren't you excited for me? :D

Hello hello :)

How's everyone's weekend coming along?

Mine is officially Procrastination Weekend, and it is aptly named so; I'm serious. I haven't gotten round to what I was supposed to study do. Haven't gotten up the time I was supposed to be up! Psh.
Pure Math is officially over! (Forever.) (And ever.) (:D) (And ever!) Chemistry's on Monday! My worst subject. EVER. (EVER.) (It's so serious that I need to type just one more - EVER.)
Just hoping I'll be able to squeeze my syllabus into my brain in sucha short time!
Please please pleaseeee!

o69. Math is not my friend.

How can I, when tomorrow's my A Levels Pure Math (A2) paper?

I'm really not feeling integration by-parts, complex numbers and vectors now :(

Plus my eyes are so tired, I bet if I sleep now, I'll wake up tomorrow morning. I'm so sure I will!

The worst thing is not the paper itself. It's that even after I finish my Pure Math paper, I have to worry about Chemistry on Monday.

Nooooooooo. D:

Just looking forward to my KL trip after exams.

 Flying off with Sern right after my last paper. Yippeeeeee.
OKAY TIME FOR MORE PURE MATH RAAAAAAR >:[

o68. Locks :)

Hello hello!
So today I followed Mom to the hair salon, and I was supposed to get a trim but then I decided to get curls :O Haha.

Well I really like it. My previous hair was just flat and pin straight, I really can't stand flat hair, if anything! I used to spend ages applying volumizer and hairsprays just for it to have that pretty bounce so many girls have (Grr @ you if you have naturally soft and bouncy hair!) :( And it only lasts like 1 hour because my hair is just so persistent! Btw, this is my first time actually doing something to my hair, like.. I've never gotten it dyed, straightened, crimped, etc. No more pure virgin hair :(((
So here's to my new hair, yay! :)
Do you like it? :O

o67. Captain Oats & Princess Sparkle*

I LOVE THE OC! This was, I think, the first TV series I got addicted to. I was 15 when I first watched it! And I used to get so crazy over it with Melanie! We used to loveadoreadmireidolizeworship Summer cos she was so fasl;difuabns;dkfjblsdiafbsdaf a-awesome 8)

 

Summer: You’re my destiny, Cohen.
Seth: Go save the world, Summer Roberts.

SETH; Summer’s right over there. Look. I’m sorry, don’t look. Don’t look. But, I mean you can look, but don’t look like you’re looking. [Sandy walks over] Hey, Dad.
SANDY; Hey, guys. [points] Is that Summer?
SETH; You know, I’m, going to go, uh, sit. [leaves]
RYAN; Way to salt his game, Mr. Cohen.
—————————————-
KIRSTEN; This is what happens when you let someone like this into our house. When you let our son hang out with criminals.
SANDY; Well, at least he has someone to hang out with. Don’t salt his game, honey.
KIRSTEN; What the hell does that mean?
SANDY; I… it… I don’t know.

KIRSTEN: So, the best thing for everyone is for everything to return to normal and in this house that means celebrating the holidays.
SANDY: Valentine’s Day is not a holiday. Rosh Hashanah, that’s a holiday. Memorial Day, yes, a holiday. Do you know who invented Valentine’s Day.
KIRSTEN: [defensively] St. Valentine.
SANDY: Hershey’s and Hallmark. If you’re single, it’s designed to make you depressed. If you’re lucky enough to be in love, start shelling out for chocolates, flowers, lingerie.
KIRSTEN: You never bought me lingerie.
SANDY: And see how upset you are. I hate this holiday!

Seth: Hey, Summer. I know flying home early is your move, but I stole it. I just want you to keep doing what you’re doing, because I think it’s pretty amazing. So, if you don’t hear from me for a while, it’s not because I don’t love you. It’s because I do.

Summer: I mean, you want me to come with you, right?
Seth: Do I want you to come with me? Summer, you’re my little snow angel.

For me, it’s always been you, Summer. It’s always been you. I’ve tried to fight it and I’ve tried to deny it and I can’t, I can’t do it. You’re undeniable.

SETH; The point is, that guy doesn’t know, he doesn’t care about who you really are. In fact, he has no idea that every day of 3rd grade, you shared your lunch with that little, skinny squirrel that kept getting his nuts stolen by that fat squirrel.
SUMMER; I hated that mean squirrel!
SETH; And none of those guys were there when you had to read your poem aloud in class and your hand was shaking because you were nervous and you cared what the other kids thought.
SUMMER; Poem? What poem?
SETH; “I… wish I was a mermaid.”
SUMMER; You remember that? That was, like, sixth grade.
SETH; “I… wish I was a mermaid and… was friends with all the fish, a shiny tail and sea shells I- [Summer kisses him] I w-wish.”

SETH: Everything okay?
SUMMER: Yeah. It’s just the holidays can be hard, you know?
SETH: Yeah. Can I help?
SUMMER: You already have.

Summer: What do you want, Cohen?
Seth: I just want you.

Oh, and then there's Ryan and Marissa. They're too dysfunctional for my liking, grr so much stupid retarded drama! But they're pretty cute when they're together, no? :D

What was your first TV series EVER? Have you watched The OC? Do you love it?
Let me know in the comments below! :D
