Au revoir part deux

My cousin Jess had just left for Melbourne last Saturday and I am already missing her! Having her around and staying with me here has been really great because I've longed for a housemate that I can just hang out or have some late night pillow talk where we can share  our deepest darkest secret together hahaha! Okay, I'm kidding. I don't do that at all with my current housemate cos we're basically minding our own business most of the time but I also hardly ever see him around. So yes, having another person that you can hang out with at home is just nice...what more if that person is close to you.

I don't think we managed to hang out that much since Jess's schedule was pretty tight from doing her internship and meeting up friends whom she haven't seen for a while  but it's alright, at least we did managed to hang out a few times and even managed to slot in a clubbing night too hehe. Anyway,  au revoir once again Jess! You will surely be missed over here and I am looking forward for my virgin visit to the land down under soon! 

 
This is us in Vertigo Club, Gardens MV. 
Being tourists for the day.
Finally met Indy after all these years hearing about him!

Going red

A new month has just marched in (please don't mind the pun), it is time to re-focus back on whatever we're doing now since there's not that much holidays from now on until Labour Day, which is in the month of May. I'm currently on a week break from classes but sad to say that it's ending very soon! Been trying to prepare all the teaching materials for next week but I've been quite a slacker this week plus I haven't really had that much sleep *again*

Anyway, my department just had a meeting today and looks like all of us including me will be busy involving an exhibition that we're organising this coming June. I have been asked to be in charge of the design part, which is something that I find VERY challenging and scary...okay, not really scary but yes, challenging because I haven't been doing design stuff in a while. More like a long while! So I'm not exactly sure whether my capability in design will be good or not :/ But again, I shall take this challenge because if I don't, I will never know right? Plus it will be so boring if I kept on doing lectures all the time and not to do design stuff from time to time. I REALLY hope I can do this though so do pray for me yeah? And I'll do the same vice versa :)

I just went to develop this lomo redscale film few days ago and I'm pretty happy with some of the photos :) Some of it turned out to be underexposed but it's okay, I still have another 2 rolls of redscale film to use. I think that's the beauty of lomography right? You don't think but just shoot and you'll definitely get unexpected results. Here are some of the photos that are considered pleasing to the eye haha. I absolutely love the first one! I don't even know how to achieve that result. Bigger size photos are in my flickr account. Enjoy!

Leap of faith

Day #29: Something You're Listening To
{February Photo A Day Challenge}

Yay! It's the last day of the challenge and it's also a pretty special day today because it is a Leap Day. Only happen once every four years in case you didn't know haha. If I really had the guts, I would propose to a guy but unfortunately I am not gutsy enough to take this leap of faith hahaha. So...moving on, here's something that I've been listening to on repeat today. If you must know, I'm not exactly the biggest K-Pop music fan but I do listen to some K-Pop songs from time to time. But there's just way too many Korean groups around that sometimes I don't even know how to differentiate them. But this new one from the group BigBang is pretty good! I really liked it and the fact that the video was really nice not forgetting all the clothes that each of the guys wore in this video. Very fashionable I must say. 

I actually like TOP, the guy in aqua coloured hair in this video. Gotta love his deep voice man :) Plus the military jacket that he's wearing in the video! LOVE it! I don't really know much about BigBang but I do know that they're really famous in Korea and I'm sure they've got tons of fans here as well. My best friend's one of them *tsk tsk* Here are some other songs that I've been listening to lately:

Live Your Life by Yuna (LOVE this one as well!)
Over My Dead Body by Drake
Walk By Foo Fighters
A-Team By Ed Sheeran
Stop This Train by John Mayer
The World As I See It by Jason Mraz

Any other recommended songs that you might think I would like? Well, with this I've finally ended the February Photo A Day Challenge! It's been hard to stay committed and post a photo every single day but  with great motivation, I succeeded hahaha. Now, I can go back and post regular stuff again and some other backdated post as well. If only I can stop being a procrastinator pfft. Do click on the Photo A Day Challenge label below to see all the photos :)

Money, money, money...must be funny

Day #27: Money
{February Photo A Day Challenge}

Here's my piggy bank that does not come in a shape of a pig but in a dollar sign instead. This was my second piggy bank after the first one on the left is already filled with coins so I had to get a new one. These piggy banks serve as my emergency and also yumcha money cos you never know you might NEED the moolah on deperate times haha. The last time I counted all the coins, I've got about RM50+ in it...probably more now :)

It's leap day tomorrow! Anyone gonna celebrate or do something special? I'm not even sure if I'll be doing anything anyway, but it's still nice to celebrate it since it only comes once in every four years right? Here's a fun you-will-definitely-get-up-and-dance song to enjoy :) Man, these British people can definitely sing ey?

27//Ngiu Chap!

Day #27: Something You Ate
{February Photo A Day Challenge}

It's been a while since I have eaten Ngiu Chap (Beef Brisket Noodles). I don't usually crave for it whenever I'm in KK because I actually like Mee Tuaran more :) But I got the chance to have Ngiu Chap again when I was back to KK last month and it was good! Looking at the photo above makes me hungry now *growling stomach* I had this right after Sunday morning mass...as you know the day before was Eve's engagement day and she totally banned us from going to the sunset mass that day...but of course she meant it in a good way. She just wanted us to have more fun throughout the night which we did! So anyway, Simone and I went to the 10am mass the next day, joining a whole bunch of Timor-Leste people haha. Right after mass, we went to Dongs for brunch and randomly decided to have Ngiu Chap at Loi Hin :) I think Ngiu Chap price is a little expensive now in KK, it used to be like just about RM3 last time? The last time I ate Ngiu Chap was in this restaurant in Millennium and it cost a whooping RM7! Well, nevertheless it's nice to have it once in a while especially since I don't even have the chance to eat it here in KL. I also looooove Teh C Ping a lot :)

On the other note, I am almost done with this Photo A Day Challenge! It's kinda exhausting to do this challenge to be honset but pretty fun too.
