5 months of hiatus and I'm back. still so utterly lost for words but I'm definitely back. opening a new chapter, a blank fresh sheet awaiting ink. things from now on are gonna change. change for the better of course. i deserve much more and shan't settle for any less.
my holidays are pretty much planned out, well in my head anyway. i foresee loads of happiness and smiles throughout these few months and hope it will continue on and on. can't say this year has been the best year for me, more downs than ups but i'm still hanging on. still strong enough to put on a smile for you! or rather my infamous grin. heh.
i turned 19 on the 22nd of november. took me awhile to realize that it's the last of my teens, 20 next year! oh how time flies, it's amazing! who knew i'd even reach 19 right? HA HA jokes. that's still damn young and i shall live my days happy and healthy. speaking of health, i've already made a commitment towards myself about how i'm gonna keep fit and monitor whatever that goes into my mouth right after my finals (which starts tomorrow btw and i'm here blogging fml yeah okay wtv i'm taking a break? lol) so anyway, one morning i was going through Fay Hokulani's lifestyle blog for hours, pretty much drooling over her sexy abbalicious body! never felt so inspired and motivated. if you're as mad as to go through almost every post (which i did *guilty*) you'd find a before and after picture of herself in one of her backdated post. she used to be plump. she wasn't as privileged as many other girls who are permanently slim which make things so surreal. and so, i made my vows, to myself of course and yes! so excited to start! press the fast forward button shall we?
June has been one crazy&happening month! i had my first semester Finals going on (so much for happening ;)) in between studying and everything else, Chrome L decided to compete in the Halo YG Day! which was practically a Kpop dance competition to celebrate the presence of YG Entertainment in Malaysia (like finally). the YG family especially consist of Big Bang, 2NE1 and Se7en. we sent our audition video to Halo Music and got shortlisted for the finals on the 25th of June which was last Saturday!
Where was it? 1Utama near Armani Exhange. at first we all thought it would be indoors like in the middle amongst the shops or something like that, BUT it was such a HUGE letdown! it was outside near the taxi stand, no stage was to be found and the scorching weather didn't make things any better. our SPIRIT to dance went bye-bye....
Fortunately, things turned upside down when we saw the crowd!
I would like to thank all my beloved/frigging awesome friends who made effort to come all the way just to support me :'( so touching! much appreciated! you guys are the best ♥ made my performance so much more meaningful and since it was the first time seeing me dance live like that for the most of you :3 i really hope it was up to your expectations hehe!
with the kickboxing boys, Ariff, Benny, Arif Lee and Aiman!
also made a new friend, her name is Wafaa :)

SEE WHAT I MEAN!
"YUUUUUUUUH!!!!" *ROFL*
Ah Heng and Harry
they're committed to their work and girlfriends, no better way to describe them!
my big brothers, literally. it was just the 3 of us when Chrome L was born! don't believe? :P check this out!
HAHA Nicina so cute!
I'm sure you guys must be asking yourselves "SO DID YOU GUYS WIN OR NOT WOR?" hahaha! no we didn't come in 1st but we were the top 3 and no, 1st and 2nd runner up doesn't exist, sadly! but we did receive a bag of beauty products, Big Bang's new album, Se7en's new album, a Digi goodie bag(???) each and a RM100 voucher worth of Korean BBQ at DaoRae!
disappointed, yes we were! although we didn't come in 1st this time that doesn't mean we are gonna give up and stop practicing because this is just the beginning of Chrome L! win or lose, i honestly am very happy with our performance. despite our super busy schedule, we managed to practice and perfect our steps throughout the month of June. you could say we are pretty new to the Kpop community in Malaysia as this was our 1st competition together, the 5 of us i mean, not as Chrome L.
so much effort and scarifies were made throughout this little journey and none of that was a waste. to be able to perform and entertain the crowd like that is absolutely priceless! we are entertainers, that's what we are.
Special thanks to Chris' girlfriend, Siau Yin for putting so much effort into the costumes for the 3rd track (TONIGHT)! can you imagine? all those BLING BLING and everything else was all her hard work! :3
Congratulations to Ruffneckz for winning! You guys did an amazing job! :D
don't have a picture with them :(

I have finally gotten myself, no wait.. my dad finally got me/us a Nikon D5100 :D
when i saw him bring back a dslr, my heart let out a silent scream and i couldn't wait to grab hold of it! so much anxiety rupturing inside of me! urghhhhhh :D
I can now officially and proudly say, "I am a DSLR user!" (y) HAHAHAHA suck on that compact users! cheyy.. NO LAH :P jooooooking!
there is no doubt that my compact Canon Ixus is still working perfectly and it can take great pictures too! it has been through thick and thin with me for so many years now *sigh* wouldn't give it up for anything :)
the new toy
this beauty takes full 1080p HD videos with a full time autofocus, my dad thinks video recording is important so yeah, very good! it surprisingly also comes with an extra feature which most slr's do not have, Effects~ fancy eh? my favorite mode is Selective color (where you select a specific color and it isolates within the scene) and High key (it emphasizes the mood of the scene). the D5100 has the capability of capturing 4 frames per second continuously at a high speed. fuuhhh fast :D this camera is definitely made for me, as its Vari-angle LCD monitor allows u to view the scene at many angles cause it can swivel...which also means a thumbs up for camwhoring :D nyeknyek.
i am really glad that my dad didn't end up getting the D90 or D7000. humungous machines that weighs a ton! i would probably build neck muscles by the end of the day. i know how it feels like because i've experienced carrying leezen's D7000 before and it was no stroll in the park. captures beautiful pictures but not practical for a girl like me :3 *flips hair*
still at the learning stage, learning how to take flawless pictures. anyone keen and patient enough to teach me? :D
i finally got my facial done today after so many months of having clogged pores. SKIN IS VERY ZE IMPORTANT! must never neglect it. nothing beats flawless skin! i can never have "flawless" skin cause i was born with freckles. so what i mean by flawless in my case is no pimples and black/white heads. my facial sessions has never been enjoyable cause when the beautician starts to remove my pimples/black&white heads OH DAYUMM! cannot exactly tell you how excruciating it feels D: fist clenching painful. yeah that's it!
so anyway, it was my first time at HerbaLine, which is located in Connaught. i actually heard about the place from Derek, yeah he goes there for facial :D see! even dudes take good care of their skin man, you girls who don't should really be ashamed of yourselves :P hahahaha jokes.
their packages are reasonable, it is a one time based kinda deal so there are no strings attached :) it comes with FISH SPA TOO :D nyomnomnom your dead skin away~
I have yet to watch Justin Bieber's movie Never Say Never because i'm one hardcore fan! I AM A BIELIEBERRRR!!!!
hahaha i kid. i'm no fan girl so yeah i do not go screaming "MARRY ME JUSTIN BIEBER!!"
well when i was notified that JB was coming to town my first reaction was, oh damn are people gonna pay big bucks to go there just to throw bottles at him or something like that? sigh. i really don't get them haters! it's true it's true, everyone has got their own opinion about absolutely every single thing that exist on planet earth. but why would you wanna go to the extend of making parody videos about how 'sucky' he is, are you really that obsessed with his so called 'suckiness' or how 'gay' he looks with his hair (his previous hairstyle). geez give it a rest will ya? i Believe these people mostly are instead feeling the opposite which is probably loving him deepdeep down inside OR just plain envious jerks.
so anyway i surprised myself by actually attending JB's concert when he was here in Malaysia! (which was awhile ago, better late than never! never sayyyy neverrrr HAHAhahaaHAHA) :D
nothing stopped us from watching JB live, not even the heavy downpour.
sk was drenched while looking for the much needed plastic ponchos! so many failed attempts! we were pretty much stressed out most of the time haha.
look how icky the place was after the rain!
when we finally got hold of them oversized plastic bags and ready to enter! the most ironic part was when we were geared up for the rain, it had already stopped when entering :O
sk and i had major failed attempts on trying to win tickets on hitz and red fm so we end up buying the cheapest tickets. :( cheap things really not nice leh.
WE ARE BELIEBERS! :O
love your "bieber" face sk :D
i still couldn't believe my ears when i heard him scream when JB sung Never Say Never! EPIC!
not the clearest picture but i love it... maybe cause my nose looks angmoh-ish high :p
yeah we could barely see him :( see what i mean by cheap things really not nice? Lol
i was really surprised he sounded great real live, like seriously, it sounded as though they were playing straight from his album! the first few songs he sung were alien to the both of us cause we're such AWESOME fans :P well we were definitely not the only ones :D
the girl who got to touch and hold JB's hand on stage while he sang One Less Lonely Girl can go dai man. hahaha! joke. sk was crazy jealous!! trust me i was really amused :D
Sun tanning doesn't cure ugly. HAHAHA LAWLS!
still smiling even after getting bullied by fat malay kids who almost made me deaf with their ear drum breaking whistles and not to mention how they had to splat some chickens on me!! along with some chilli sauce! *glares back*
the night didn't just end at the concert :) JB not only brought the rain but also contributed to the KL jam :D we took about an hour just to get out of the car park! lol barely moved half of the time.
we supper-ed at In House Cafe, it's a 24/7 cafe in Cheras :D bonding session between the grandma and grandson (inside joke) heeh :D
this tough cookie has finally gotten her first belt :3
i might have looked really calm while receiving it but in actual fact i was jumping up and down deep down inside and probably grinning my heart away. taking this achievement as a really big stepping stone into being a great fighter. it is . a lot of people ask me 'what made you join kickboxing?' i would usually just say 'cause i enjoy it' well honestly since i'm typing out right now and therefore allows me to think a little more, i'd have to say it's probably the intensity of it that i love. how it feels when i am throwing a punch or building up a roundhouse kick, how your body isolates into the movement. two words, adrenaline rushing. and most importantly, i never fail to enjoy myself during training and it's all thanks to the Awesome people around me.
oh and btw i got a double promo, means i skipped red belt. sorry i just had to brag ;) *chuckles*
would like to take this opportunity to thank Master Bathi for being there to coach me every step of the way and most importantly making me smile and to always looking forward to every training session. you soooo ROCKS Master! ;)
it is 8.24am right now, time to get ready for class. :)
ps: i know i've been missing for almost a month now but i'm definitely gonna be blogging often as my streamyx is back and since 1 month of my life has been missed out, there's gonna be loads of back dated posts coming your way ;) stay tuned! xx
yes, i've been having the sniffles for the past 4 days now :( everyone has been quite sick lately due to the terrible weather while some of us got it from sharing the air we breathe in. i'm prettyyyyy sure i've spread me germs to some unlucky dude already since i haven't been skipping any classes :( sorry. i rarely get sick, like at max twice a year? so this is probably a treat :D hahahaha! who am i kidding. nobody likes falling sick. it drains the hell outta ya! physically and mentally. no duh, it explains how i've been attending college looking like a zombie for this whole week. so if you've seen a pale looking slop around uni, yeah that's me.
okay hold on needa get some tissue for me nose... *runsss*
back! so where was i? hmm anyway it's just me having the flu nothing big, i'm gonna live :)
