Today was a good day. (:

NOT ENOUGH TIME LA. D:

sighs. Still. Better than nothing at all right. And plus no matter how much time I get also I'll probably complain and say its not enough.

Yeah its like a natural reaction I guess. sighs again.

As quoted by Sasa ".. don't count it day by day or else you're gonna go crazy."

nods nods.

Anyways..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY!

My baby brother ain't even a baby no more. ;P 14 years already eh. I remember when we used to fight and pull each other's hair. I remember when I threw a Rubik cube at his face and when he threw my Barbie doll on the roof. :D hahahaha oh funny memories.

Have a great one bro. ;)

*hugs* :)

xoxo Rusty :)

puff puff XP

I acknowledge this is a weird time to be blogging LOL. anyways tomorrow (or should I say today) is a public holiday (whee no class) so I can sleep as late as I want.

I went out to eat just now, and you know what, like practically every single table around ours (Sasa, Felicia and I) people were smoking.

Naturally we were not happy about this cause we just showered, meaning our hair will undoubtedly smell like some bugger's ashtray. =.=

I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE SMOKE.

Don't get me wrong, I do have friends who smoke and as long as they don't smoke around me, I'm perfectly content. Its when they smoke that I get cranky and grumpy and hormonal lol.

Hang on tight, honey bunnies, I'm about to launch into a tirade of WHY SMOKING SUCKS.

Okay so I will never smoke. Never ever. Not even shisha (yeah apparently its even worse for you than normal old cigarettes) Anyways. I just don't understand why people smoke in the first place!

1. No, it does NOT make you look cool.

Yeah why on earth would make anyone that having a little stick between your thumb and forefinger makes you instantly more mature and cool? Oh but of course smoking ages the skin, doesn't it? So congratulations, your hopes and dreams of looking more mature (HAH more like OLD) are going to come true. :) :) :)

2. Its a massive waste of hard-earned money.

Its expensive leh! Okay so I don't smoke and I ain't exactly sure but I remember that a pack costs like RM9 plus? (back when I was working as a waitress in form 4, my boss used to make me go help him buy cigarettes. Yes, the people at the counter would sell them to me despite the huge sign which says you're not supposed to sell to anyone under 18, lol.)

3. It harms other people, you selfish little... ugh. =.=

AHAHHAA yeah no need for me to say this, anyone educated would undoubtedly know that secondhand smoking is worse than actual smoking. Nobody wants to smell your exhaled crap la, please. Grr. =.=

4. Please spare me the bs excuse, "..I just can't stop..."

Yeah its true they're addictive. Everyone knows that. So why did you start in the first place? If you had the guts to start it then at least have the guts to stop rather than making excuses for yourself. And besides it IS POSSIBLE to stop lo. Example, my dad. One of the reasons I admire him so much, is that he actually stopped smoking completely when I was younger. *(:*

5. IT MAKES OTHER PEOPLE SMELL LIKE CRAP.

HAHA this one is inspired by what happened just now. :D

While YOU may not care if YOUR clothes and hair smell shitty, that may not be the case for everyone. Because you see. some people actually prefer to NOT smell like stale cigarettes. But when you smoke, EVERYONE AROUND YOU will smell like crap. So again, its a matter of being just plain polite. Don't make everybody else smell as bad as you do. *rolls eyes*

Sigh. I don't mean to offend anyone lo. But its true what.

(:

hellooo world. (:

Today I'm in a slightly better mood. :D hahaha. I got back my Biology results today. I got... ahahaha. I'm not gonna put it down. :P ehe. Okay. Lets just say that for the first time I managed to get above 70 in 3 subjects! Which may not sound like much to any smart-ass people reading this =S but to me is totally an achievement. (:

Only Physics was total and complete shit, I did so badly, I remember after the paper I cried BLEHHH. :P

*happy* I hope nothing ruins my mood. XD haha.

Oh but something already has. Cheer up darling.. (: Plenty more boys out there to drool over. *wink* no I don't mean to sound insensitive, I'm just worried about you. :( Cos whenever you see me lying on my bed being emo you'll rush to my side and won't leave me alone til I start laughing again. And so I feel bad seeing you so down. Smiley smile kay? :) before I have to kiss you again. DON'T MAKE ME. XD hahaha.

Oh yeah I haven't posted any pictures in awhile. I got a new laptop last week so I transferred photos from my old one into my new one yeah, and I found pictures I actually didn't remember I had! Qiqi, kan you wanted to see how I looked like when I was nerdy? I HAVE MY OLD NERD PICTURES NOW! :DD another time la kay.. :D

ahaaa speaking of pictures.. I miss my daddy I'm going to post a picture of the two of us LOLs.

currently my wallpaper. (: I used to be so.... ahm. fill in the blank. XD

Yeah totally random. I just miss my dad, I miss all the long drives home after work (for him) and school (for me) and of course, my driving when I first got my license and he sat in the passenger seat yelling at me to be careful. I miss him nagging me to "wei.. kasi mandi tu anjing bah!" and him constantly bugging me to wash his car. XD HAHA funny, these tiny random memories make me smile. (:

Yeah I'm a daddy's girl.

xoxo rusty. (:

blurrrrrrrb =P

ARGH so annoyed la.

These few days.. or rather this past week the smallest little things are capable of pushing me to my limit and making me throw a tantrum.

I think I'm beginning to scare my housemates, hahaha.

I think I'll be okay in a few days, I just need to cool down. I was just telling my roommate.. As a person I am so mellow and so laid-back, everything to me is like "OK bah.." but when I'm another half (haha =P) I am very very very demanding. Its true!

Yeah well. I'm thinking too much. Maybe I'm missing home? I don't know.

OH! OH OH OH MY GOSH you know what happened the other day?? Felicia said "bah". :D LMAO! First time man! Oh but I've always kinda liked listening to her speak Malay. So yummy!:D Cos I mean like she's Chinese but her Malay sounds so.. well, malay. :D haha. I like listening to it lor! Funny also.

Oh and also? Felicia just washed rice just now. For the first time. And she dares to accuse me of not being able to cook. TEEHEE. :D

Yeah mood swings, one minute I'm hyper and another, I'm lying on my bed in full emo mode.

xoxo rusty. (:

=)

You make me smile like the sun,

Fall outta bed, sing like a bird,

Dizzy in my head, spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night..

You make me dance like a fool,

Forget how to breathe,

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee,

Just the thought of you can drive me wild,

Oh you make me smile. =)

Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind.

xoxo karen

p/s We're so alike it scares me sometimes.

Back in KL.

ARGH. And going back to the jungle aka KTT tonight!

Kinda lazy leh.. Holiday was way too short.. A week feels like practically nothing. I didn't get to do all the stuff I wanted to do when I was back! Didn't go pulau. Didn't go Kundasang. Didn't even get to eat dumpling in Damai there, LOL. :P

In June. Oh I can't wait for June.

Oh!! But on the plus side, I DIDN'T CRY LAST NIGHT OUT OF HOMESICKNESS! :D

Partly cos I was damn tired and partly cos I was sooo comfortable in Felicia's bed. :D (yeap I've progressed from kissing her, to sharing her bed. Man I am so lesbo. :D)

Anyways. Oh I've decided I can't give up meat for Lent this year.. And I was thinking of giving up sugar but then decided that was impossible as well (I'll be sooo cranky, kesian my housemates lah), so I've decided to give up alcohol! :D hahaha. Yeah I admit I like to drink. But I've decided to stop cos its not that good for me (I don't wanna get fat, LOL) and Lent is about giving up the things you like, so yeah. (:

Awwww I feel like such a good girl. *grins*

xoxo Karen Rusty. :D

Went out again today!

I can't believe I'm going back to KL the day after tomorrow. :( can't I just stay in Sabah for another month or so? please please? *puppy dog eyes*

Sighs. Totally love it here lor. Really wish KL is as lovely as Sabah :P haha. I like being home and sleeping in my own bed. (despite my dad waking me up early every morning. =.= grr.)

I'm hugging Brownie as I type this. :)

I've been so content here! Been out practically every day, but still. :P

I havent met many friends la, just the people who I am really close to, example Samson. Lunched with Kim and Melvin and Sam today. And.. it wasn't awkward, thank God. Well maybe a tiny bit. Just a bit. I don't know how to put down in words. :P

People grow up and change and eventually, inevitably, drift apart. I think its about time I start to learn to accept the fact. (:

Although I'm just so glad Samson and I are still as close as we always used to be. :) AWWWWW! I can practically sense you smiling as you read this Sam! IF you read this. You must be busy with that new *ahem vibrating thing you just bought. *shudder*

:D

xoxo karen

8 more freaking days! :D

I spent the day with my brother today!

I spent the morning debating whether to text a friend and ask her to go out, but totally backed out last minute because I was scared. :( Really I was. sighs. So I brought my brother out instead supposed to watch movie but nothing good's on at the moment.

Oh and yeah he was NOT terrified of my driving, ohkays.. :P In fact he complimented me! *YAY!*

It was kinda fun although I was forced to teman him at the arcade where he played some racing game with a bunch of strangers. =.=

Yeah, bro-sis bonding time. *sticks out tongue*

This, dear lovely people reading my blog, is my very smart, yet very weird younger brother. :D

At least he cam-whored with me. :D Retardedly, but still. :)

Oh! Oh! I find this COOOOOOOL! It was taken through a whole tiled wall. So its like the refection of ur through the tiles. Yeah. :D

Under the sun pun sempat cam-whore. haha!

OH! And THIS. I was walking through a section which displayed fugly Crocs right, and I COULD NOT RESIST! I TRIED A PAIR ON! Just to see how fugly it would look. Extremely, apparently. ARGH. First and last time I'm putting Crocs on my feet. Never again. :P

Sorry, couldnt RESIST taking another photo of my gorgeous blinged phone. *wink*

xoxo Rusty. *wink* again.

P/S I shall go out with Nat, Sarah and Tan Tan soon! :D

P/P/S Oh and I miss you. (:

Blinging 101

Had a good day (:

Went out with Samson, it was totally a last minute thing and I woke him up to go out with me HEHE. :P Watched Wolfman which totally scared the living crap outta him (ADMIT IT, Samson. :D) and then he drove me home, which totally scared the living crap outta ME. (:P YEAH I admit.)

Anyways, it was cool. :) Haven't seen him in almost 6 months yet it was as if we haven't even missed a day. :) I guess thats how it feels to really be close friends with someone. (:

Been eating like crazy these past 2 days, OMG. Bak kut teh today with Samson! Its like a tradition of ours kan? :P Argh. Gonna exercise more when I'm back in KL, I promise.

OH! Guess what??

I BLINGED MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!

:D

So excited. Oh, yeah, pictures.

Yeah so this is my clean, un-blinged phone. :)

Yawn. BORING.

And so.. I went out in search of bling!

All the stuff I needed. It took me forever to search and choose it! Thank God Samson is the patient type who actually took an interest and offered an opinion! :D After all, like I said, I haven't been around dragging him shopping for 6 months already :P

YAY!

Half-done. Yeah abit blur. *sniff*

AND HERE'S HOW IT TURNED OUT! :D *hours later* XD

I LOVE IT!!!!! :)

its so eye-catching! And its PINK AND PURPLE AND SILVER! :D

Okay I am way excited. I've always loved bling, so yeah. :P Thats why I sound insanely happy right now.

It even has K for Karen. :D Can you see it?? :D

I heart. ;)

xoxo rusty :D

I AM HOMEEEEEEEEEE!

OMG I MEAN SABAH HOME~!!!!!!!!!!

So happy.

For various reasons. ;)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. :3 (aka Singles Awareness day. :D)

Day of love! :D haha.. Yeah corny. Way corny. But so so true! :) And just to mark how special today is, I'm gonna dedicate this entire post to talk about *cough love. :D

Hmm. Yeah it'll be a short post, as I don't know much, I'm still like a kid.. But really.. Love finds us in the most unexpected circumstance and in the moment we least expect it. Agree? (yes it applies to me also, haha)

The thing is, I believe if something (or rather, someone) makes you happy, then go for it. Do what makes you happy. Follow your instincts and risk everything because its when you risk that there's a chance something awesome might just happen. (: And if it doesnt, well, thats life, just chalk it up to experience and you won't make the same mistake next time. :)

So........ This Valentine's Day, for you lucky people who are NOT celebrating it as Single's Awareness Day, appreciate your other half. ;) And as for those who are single, well.. Hold on tight to your hopes and dreams because really, love is never really that far away. :) It might be closer than you think. :)

xoxo rusty ;) (still laughing and kinda loving the nickname. :D)

I. AM. GOING. BACK. TOMORROW!!!!

:D

Extremely happy leh. ;D

Can't wait can't wait can't wait!

Oh and P/S daddy apparently bought me a new laptop YAY can't wait to get my hands on it despite my love for my current Sony Vaio. (I hope its pink :3) heh.

xoxo Rusty. ;D

Hello world, my new nickname is Rusty.

Don't ask why. Okay fine.. The lovely gentlemen *cough yeah right *cough** in my class gave me the nickname thanks to my hair colour. *sigh*. Funnily enough its just to tease me, I don't think they mean to actually insult me. :P But but it sounds like a dog's name. *pout*

Anyways.

I finished reading The Lovely Bones yesterday! And I started it yesterday. So means I finished it in like a day! :D It was freaking good. (:

Its one of those books that I SWEAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN.

It made me cry! And not many books do that.. I love the way the author wrote, it was descriptive enough for me to be able to imagine whats going on, and yet not so descriptive that I got sick and tired of it. *smiles happily* Its a great book if you're in one of those thinking kinda moods.

I'm not gonna launch into a description of the story cos I DO NOT wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet. (:

I borrowed it from Sasa but because its so good i might just grab a copy for myself to keep. (Thats another habit of mine- I buy books that I really love so that I can re-read them whenever I feel like it. )

Yeah me cam-whoring with it LOL :D

Ta-daaaa! Grab a copy and find out for yourself! RM 32.90 from MPH, it'll be worth your money I promise! :)

Oh, and apparently the movie's coming out soon! *big big grin :D* I doubt it'll be as good as the book but I'm gonna watch it anyways cause I can't waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. :D

The nerd in me is unleashed. :P

I'm off now! Going to INTI tonight for CF. (:

xoxo karen

I wanna blog because I love the feeling of typing and putting down everything thats stuck in my head. I like the sound of my fingers tapping away on the keyboard of my pink Sony Vaio. I love reading back my posts after I'm done and occasionally smiling at what I wrote (but thats rare)

I like reading blogs that are beautifully written. I admire people who can think of beautiful yet un-cliched phrases, people who have a wide range of vocabulary and who know how to use it in such a way that their writing is beautiful.

Example, Jess :D She should SO start a blog.

I admit I'm not much of a writer. I never seem to be able to express myself in the way that I want to, in the way that people will really understand what I feel. Instead most of the time I have to be content with just saying things that really, don't even begin to scrape the surface of how I really feel. Yep. I can't express myself properly. :P

I'm trying though! I'm reading more and more these days, not just chick-lit but real, meaningful, 'intelligent' books that are meant for smart people. :P Yeah usually I don't fully understand what I'm reading but hey, I'm trying. *sticks out tongue*

Yeah, I can never be serious for long, its just how I am.

4 more days baby! *dances around excitedly*

:D

xoxo karen

24. I have the habit of buying lip glosses and never finishing them. I have so many right now I've lost count of how many I own.

25. I managed to list down my 25 things!

xoxo karen

Went out all day today :D

I had so much fun, more fun than I ever had since I came to KL. LOL. Thats a big thing for me to say, you know. :D hahaa.

Oh and you know what, the only depressing thing about today was the fact that I lost my beloved MNG "friendship sweater" :P hahaa. I remember I was so happy when I first bought it, I even posted a blog entry about it! (last year) but now its gone and I don't even know how on earth I managed to lose it in the first place. :P

Oh but I got a replacement for it! Also a MNG sweater. Also black. And in my opinion its prettier la. Hehe. (:

ON the other hand.......... I think things are going well. :) FINALLY. I haven't felt this content and calm and just plain happy in a long time. :)

I hope I'll feel this way for a long time to come. :3

xoxo karen

why cant time just fly by...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

*smile* 8 more days!

I've all but forgotten what it feels like to be home. (: To lie on my own bed and to talk crap and laugh with my mum.. To wash the car for my dad and beg him to teman me to walk the dogs.. And undoubtedly, to fight for the TV remote with my brother.

The boring everyday mundane lame things that you take for granted when you're at home. (:

I never really appreciated home because I lived at home all my life. And now suddenly I'm here, I remember how much I cried my eyes out on the first night here, remember, Felicia?? :P hee. I'm sure you remember.. My whole face was like swollen the next day cos I cried all night. :P

And just last night I was like asking Felicia as we were lying on my bed talking, do I look different from when I first came here? And I didnt expect her to answer, YES I do look different, I look more mature apparently. -.-

(I don't think I do lor! I still act like super childish :P) haha.

And telling you honestly I never expected that I will end up to be such close friends with my roommate, after initially hating her guts and her hating mine. :P Shows how wrong I can be about a person. In a good way. (:

Oh my gosh, a NICE blog post about Felicia. For the first time! Normally its to make fun of her, heh.

xoxo karen

P/S wheeeeeeeee *smile* and no you do NOT need to know what that's about. :D

this is what happens when im bored.

Normally I would bug my roommate. But she just raised her voice at me. :'(

*sniff*

(I guess I'll just have to wait til later to disturb her. :P)

For now I'm gonna post up random photos that I've wanted to post in awhile except I never got around to doing it. :P

I'm still kinda fascinated by my new hair colour. :P So I couldn't resist, I cam-whored abit.. Its so freaking red right?? :D I loveeeeee. :3

I bought this lip gloss a few days ago cos my Lipice one habis. But I think this one sucks leh, no colour at all lo. :P Regret buying it. =.=

I stick this on my wall, and laugh at it everytime I happen to glance at it.

Oh yeah. And I almost forgot. I just wanna say, I'm really really happy right now. :3 And I will be from now on! :D because.... well, just because. :P

And oh, another thing. This one is for a close friend. Chances only come once.. Don't let the fear of something that might not even happen, hold you back from letting something truly amazing happen to you. (: I'm sure you know what I mean. Don't wanna be too annoying oso. Heh.

But whatever your decision also I support la of course. (:

xoxo karen
