Thursday - Things I like #5

I like getting parcels! Especially the ones that I have been waiting for it for so long. Yes, online shopping and it's thrill. The excitement. Hehe.

Today, I received this parcel from US. A purchase I made through etsy.com




Heartstrings. Wedding ring holder that can be reused as a Christmas ornament. So practical. Me likey!

Thursday - Things I like #4

Once you started working and life changes from being so care free to be a rat race, things are different. Yes, different in a sense that your goals changed.

From the life of a student to a working adult life. Then; no money but still can have a good time and no worries because there wasn't mortgage and bills to pay. Now; ____ (you fill in the blanks)

So, let us take a step back and reminisce about the good old days.

1) non stop shopping 
Be it window shopping or real shopping. This was something that I should remember and would really like to do it again. There was one time, that me and my bestie Sheila spent like more than 5 hours touring Prangin Mall in Penang, going in and out of shops, trying on clothes and just don't feel tired at all. Punya rajin. I guess nowadays 3 hours non stop shopping is already torturing much. Sakit pinggang, sakit kaki ( maklum la berat badan sudah )

2) party on a weekday
Carpool into one miserable Kancil and party the night away in a club. Go out at least two to three times a week and go swamp the clubs on Ladies Night. Haha. Too broke to buy our own drinks but nonetheless we had fun. And some of my friends lose weight by dancing all through the night.

3) adrenaline escape
Remember Akademi Fantasia? Well, I was an avid fan back then. So, we watched the show finale at a gerai outside campus and totally forgot about the curfew ( the main gate close at midnight ) - climbing the gate to go back is the way to go in. Hey, who got caught by the security guard while running in the dark trying to dodge the beam of the torchlight from the sewel security guards? It was yours truly (plus a few other friends). Fun times!

4) camps 
Good time to escape from the monotony of campus life and also meet new people also go to new places. The cheapest way to travel and socialize. Yea, I met my other half from camps as well. Ahahaha.

5) slumber parties
Crashing in at a friend's house or room and just chat and chat and chat and chat . We talk about anything and everything ( and also read tarot cards to tell about the future. Hahahahaha ) I remember having an extra key for my bestie's hostel room. I was like the other extra room mate who is forever there.


Things were much simpler then huh? Ah, the elixir of youth.

The list goes on. I guess everyone have the memory of youth that you wish you still can do it now.

Thursday - Things I like #3

Second day of May. So, here's another edition things I like. Yeah, I just like to ramble.

My favourite Youtube Artists

Kina Grannis
Such sweet voice. I was so excited to find her album selling at Rock Corner store last year. You know it's hard to get the physical CD of this Youtube artist because they don't really got promoted as much as the mainstream artist.

Check out her song "in your arms". A stop motion video took like 2 years to complete because they use jelly beans as the background and what not. Awesome!


Clara C
Another talented singer-songwriter. If you are the type of person who pay attention to lyrics so much like I do, you will definitely love her songs. She has just released her latest album too.

I love her " camel song ". Quirky lyrics and the video is crazy awesome too!


US ( Michael Alvarado + Carrisa Rae )
This one super music couple. Both are musicians and also singer-songwriter. They just got married and pow! They really are super talented. Now they are duo with the name US.

Love their cover of "don't you worry child". So intense!


AJ Rafael
One of my inspiration. He is such a good singer-songwriter and also very active serving his church too. And I just wonder why all the Youtube musicians stay together in the same neighbourhood; they seem to have one another featured in their videos. Here's his latest single from his latest album "beautiful escape"


Pentatonix
This is group is totally on fire. Loved them since they were in that reality show for singing groups. ( apa punya show tu ah lupa sudah ) - but they are so talented! The group members are like match made in heaven and when they do song covers it all sounded magical! Damn! Nda picaya.. Dingar ni..

Thursdays : Things I like #2

On a beautiful day like this, I shall focus my energy on writing the good things that I like and should always be thankful for. Yeah, little things that we can often overlook just because it is always there

1) My handphone

It is an iphone 4s, 16GB. Macam menyesal pula settle down with the minimum memory. Now that I have been using for almost 3 years, itu memory macam nda cukup juga. Nooo...don't get the idea of me changing phones, am not keeping up with technology. If it is not for this phone being a Christmas gift, I guess I am still stuck with my old phone.

2) My viva

Even though, it has a lot of scars and scratch to it, my faithful Viva is still loyal to me. Gotta take care of her properly these days because she is aging too. Huhuhu. Ooops, next month time mo service itu Cik Bibah.

3) My Dell Laptop

Biarpun sa selalu marah2 dia for being lembab and all but kalau dia tiada maka porak peranda la dunia saya. Been serving me well until now since 2007. Good job lappy! Keep up the good work

4) The kipas in my room

Kipas paling berusaha di dunia. Several times, I have been advised to install air-con in my room but I guess the ceiling fan is good enough for me. My skin can't tolerate the dry cool air by the AC most of the time when I am at hotels and all. So yeah, kipas it is.

5) My red nike watch

I bought this with my first pay so it holds a BIG sentimental value for me. It reminds me of my journey being a teacher. Rain or shine this watch is always on my wrist. It used to be waterproof and I always swim with it but now the "getah" to seal the water from coming inside sudah sot2 sikit maka nda berapa waterproof la dia


----

So, there you have it the 5 (often over-looked) things in my life that I really can't live without.
