THE sabah tour. ;)

Hi. :)

So Andreana, Gavin and Regi are here in KK! :) Met up yesterday to just hang out and show them KK's awesome places of interests (HAHA, yeah right :P)

Mich drove. A much better driver than I'll ever be, D:

At Sutera.

The sunset. :') so pretty. *Sasa took this pitcha! ><*

Then we headed to the magical musical fountain! LOL. Its in Tanjung Aru by the way. :) It reminds me of Sentosa in Singapore.

Even my crappy camera managed to capture the prettiness of the lights. ;)

And thennn, dinner at Upperstar KK. Gavin belanja minum! LOL at Gavin's expression here. haha.

Long Island iced tea. ;)

Group pic!

And then with Shana. ♥

I only posted up some pics. MALAS! Still exhausted from pulau trip yesterday. But anyway, I'm gonna put the rest up on FB when I've got the energy to. :)

xoxo!

HELLO WORLD. ;)

Morning everyone! :)

This week has been pretty boring for me. D: I feel tired all the time so I'm lazy to go out. My doctor tells me I'm anemic, which probably explains why I'm tired and pale. :P someone take me to an island, I need the sun! :|

Anyways. I finally went out last night, lol. For the past few days my dad has been asking me to go out and meet friends and I quote, "Don't stay home all the time bah." LOL. Never thought I'd hear that from my dad.

Met up at Derek's played several rounds of rummy. I swear I'm getting better at it, and I LOVE THE GAME! I even managed to win a few times, much to the guys' disbelief. :D it was aweshumm. And then I taught Haikal how to play haha.

And thennnn at 10 something we finally removed ourselves from rummy and went out to Damai for drinks. I saw Gilbert with his friends, that guy hasn't changed abit. :) He's still awesome and was the first person to talk to me in tuition all those years ago. ;) OMG its been years. Seriously, time FLIES man. I can't believe its still so easy to talk to him.

And then someone came up behind me and covered my eyes, which was awkward considering the fact that I DIDN'T KNOW WHO IT WAS, and OMG it was Leslie! Haven't seen him since.. 4 years ago, lol. Still it wasn't awkward, I've missed hanging out with him, and I used to hang out with him ALOT.

Catching up with the guys was really fun. (: And we've all changed so much! Kent's got a huge tattoo (OMG) and he's really buff. He can wear a tight pink shirt and not look gay (probably cos of the bulging muscles lol) Wakes up at 6 to exercise everyday, gosh. I should like, get diet tips from him or something. Haikal's gonna get engaged soon! His wedding is gonna be the first "friend's wedding" I'm gonna attend. ;) Can't wait. Jeremy and Derek are the same, except older and less obnoxious. ;)

I got home really late, like, 2 hours later than I said I would be. :O And I was thinking like my dad's gonna be pissed, ahaha. But thennn, he opened the gate for me (I LUPA BAWA REMOTE WTF) and he ain't even mad! He's so cool, my dad. :) I LOVE HIM. ♥

Pinky! :)

I woke up at 6 am today. Freakishly early!

All in the name of charity. (:

Pink ribbons- the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. (:

Seriously I couldn't even think of a worthier cause to support. But thats just my opinion. (: I support this because.. well, I'm doing it in a way for my darling mum who was diagnosed a couple of years ago.

And here she is now, healthy and strong as ever thanks to early detection. (:

I ♥ her.

So basically what I did today was attempt to sell stuff to raise money for organisations in Sabah to carry out more projects to raise awareness of breast cancer. And also for the society who organised this, its sorta a fundraiser. And together with other volunteers we kinda went around pinning on pink ribbons to unsuspecting people, to show support for breast cancer patients. :D

Like THIS. ;P

Pretty right? :) Even the charity organisation I choose to support has to be pink. :P Shows what a pink-freak I am, haha.

Some stuff a whole group of other people were selling. Totally cool island tribal type stuff handmade by the Filipino people selling them. (: SO GORGEOUS! I got a pretty pink bracelet from this one kinda hot, super buff Filipino island-guy. *wink* The bracelet I'm wearing in the previous pic. ;)

And finally, a group photo of the amazing beautiful women, all of whom have gone through cancer and survived, or have had people they love go through it. How I admire them all. (:

I'm dead tired but feel kinda good about myself. ;)

xoxo karen

There's no feeling QUITE as satisfying as whacking that shuttlecock so hard your arm hurts and laughing like hell when it hits your opponent in a funny place. (HAHA :D)

And then yelling when she whacks it right back and it lands smack in the middle of your forehead. D:

Felicia, you're mean. :(

xoxo rusty

And P/S, there's no such thing as a 5 second rule- I MADE IT UP. :D HAH!

Stayed up til super duper late last night, its a miracle I'm up before noon today. Shana, Amy and Nader came over and Sasa and I totally had a blast with them. They brought over a guitar and we sang songs til like.. oh, idk? 1 am? I pity the poor people living below my apartment, already 1 in the morning and still have to hear us singing our hearts out. :D haha.

Still. It was fun! And I can't help but think, damn, I'm gonna miss these people when we're all grown up and flying away to India. :P

I just realised I really miss singing in that way. Used to do it alot in high school, the guys in class would bring their guitars and play, and I, being the totally thick-skinned wannabe singer I am, would pester them to play my favourite songs so I could sing along. :D

I miss high school. Much as we normally hate to admit it, I think everyone sometimes does, it was a part of their lives for 5 whole years and probably played a big part in molding who and how they are today. (:

xoxo rusty

OMG this video is SO AWESOME. (:

Kaka.......... HOT, HOT, HOT! :D

Messi............... My dream man. Enough said. ;P

Henry and Drogba I don't really care so much la. OK OK la. :P HAHA!

OMG OMG I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH ARGENTINA PLAY! :)

But you know what sucks? On the night of Argentina's first match, 12th June, I'm going to be on a plane back to Sabah. :( HAIHHHH. I'm gonna miss the match! I won't get to drool over Messi! :(

So to comfort myself, I'm gonna watch and re-watch this video over and over and over again. :D

xoxo!

*Sniff Sniff*

Okay, I've stayed away for a couple of days and now I can't stand it, hehe here I am, I'm blogging again. :D

Kinda bangga this. Been studying til late for the past couple of days. And even during the day. Been sacrificing my daily naps just to scribble down random bits of physics I wanna remember.

Oh yeah.

Am currently obsessed with perfume! (:

I've always liked perfume, I can recognize people by their scents. My dad, Burberry and occasionally Polo. My mum, CK. My roommate, Davidoff Cool Water. :D (this one kinda tipu la, I see her using it every single day bah. ;P) In fact, speaking of scents, there's someone I know who smells particularly good and I absolutely love the way he smells.*wink* (Yes Felicia, don't ask for a pail to muntah in.)

But I myself don't normally use it, having been blessed by idk, good genes? so that I don't need perfume cos I don't smell bad. But recently I've began to use it every single day before running downstairs for class.

Seriously, no idea why. Here in KTT I only have two bottles la, the rest are at home in Sabah. I love Lancome Miracle but finish already. :(

Anyways. In KTT I alternate between my beloved Vera Wang Princess (ta daaaa, yes it really looks like this, so pretty I kinda xsanggup wanna use. ;P)

and my cheaper tiny bottle of Body Shop Oceanus.

:) yeah I'm totally in love with both. But then I've kinda gotten a bit bored of them and actually the scent I'm really craving for right now (actually, not just right now, its a scent I've always wanted) is something that smells candy-sweet. (:

So I went into Google and after looking through many many reviews and descriptions of "sweet smelling perfumes" I've narrowed down my choice to.....*drum roll please*

Britney Spears- Fantasy. :)

THIS IS WHAT I WANT!!!!!! :D

Sorry. Super duper excited. Actually Tatianna bought me this scent once (remember Tat-Tat?) when she went to Australia.. I absolutely love the smell, its super sweet and not in the floral sickly sweet way, but the yummy cotton candy and marshmallow way.

Even the bottle is to die for! :D PINK AND COVERED IN BLING OMG OMG OMG I'M ABOUT TO FAINT WITH EXCITEMENT. :p IDK when I'll buy it. SOON. :D I need a pick-me-up to get rid of AS depression. ;P

When I use this (or at least, the one Tatianna bought for me) I smell so sweet you could just EAT ME. teehee. :D

This is SO at the top of my wishlist right now. ;)

Weird also la. Why all the sudden obsession for perfume? :P

xoxo rusty

South Park version of Rusty.

I created her! :D

HAHAHAHAHAHA! *wipes away tears*

That just gave me a good laugh. Damn funny. :P

I even gave her chubby cheeks and a Brownie so she'll look EXACTLY like me. *wink*

xoxo rusty

This has been one of the MOST spontaneous and yet amazingly fun weekends I've ever had since coming to KL.

HAHA guess where I went last night?

GENTING! :D With Felicia and her family. It was SUCH a last minute decision, I had a really good time. We actually pretty much went up there just for dinner, then walked around randomly in the indoor theme park and it kinda made me totally want to visit the open air one! :D During the day that is. After A2 I SHALL GO AND PLAY! :D (or maybe sooner than that. All depends. ;) )

I looooooove theme parks. (: And all the rides. The scarier the better. :D (I have been known to say, only retards are afraid of heights. ;P) HAHAHA!

I shall post up the pictures tommorow, I'm at my roomie's and DID NOT bring my laptop. :p

xoxo rusty

P/S I think my fishies are dying. :(

P/P/S I.......... M........ U........

P/P/P/S :D :D

I am SO indian ;D

Guess what day it is today!

Ponggal. :P haha yeah I didn't know what it was at first, either. I knew the ICS people in KTT were gonna organise some stuff, but still I figured I wouldn't go, I'd go play badminton instead. :D

And then like 2 hours before the thing, Sean decided to pester me to go.

"But I don't have anything to wear!" *high pitched squeal from me*

"Don't worry I'll find you something to wear. Can borrow from one of the Indian girls mah. Either sari or punjabi suit." Oh she sounds so confident despite my many feeble attempts at telling her I can't find a sari that fits me.. (yeah for skinny people only bah..)

And then I found that Narmatha's sari fits me! Thanks Narmatha, it's so gorgeous, I love it *muaks muaks* :D Yeah it was tight, but then everyone's was, even Gebby's and Sean's so I guess its perfectly okay. :D hahahaa.

For those who are not familiar with wearing sari, let me tell you its damn difficult to wear! Consists of a tiny tight little top, that doesn't cover the stomach, and then a skirt, and then a huge long piece of cloth wrapped around the whole body.

And get this, if that piece of cloth unravels then everything falls apart and you'll be left wearing nothing but that tiny top and the skirt underneath which is probably pretty much considered as underwear. :D

Still, the overall effect is gorgeous! Although its tricky to wear on your own (Gebby helped me with mine cos it was my first time wearing) and very hard to walk. I was wearing my wedges and I swear I nearly tripped and fell to my death. :D

I've decided I love wearing sari! Its so ethnic! And beautiful too-the one I borrowed, anyway. And most Indian girls wearing their saris all looked so so amazing!

I would have taken a hell lot of pictures but sadly my camera battery was dying LOL so I didn't, but I did take a few! :)

Kolam, am I right? :P coloured rice-PRETTY.:)

Some of the dancers- they were so pretty OMG :P

Yeah I acknowledge that my hair's a mess (it was really really hot today okayy) and I am badly in need of re-dying my hair. I'm gonna do it in around 2 weeks like that.. ;D

Nader, her punjabi suit was nice, black and gold, kinda reminds me of Kadazan outfit *wink*

With a bunch of my friends, Pavitra's sari is so bright, hehee.

Gebby the lovely girl who helped me wear the sari :D

Mark, Gebby and me

With bestie Qiqi ;D

Sean and I at her house, before we went downstairs HAHA I was lauging at something I guess.

I like this one, we all look so ethnic and none of us are even Indian :D

Yeah. I have more pictures but I am getting kinda malas to upload already, so these will have to do for now. :P hee.

xoxo karen

This is LONG overdue.. Picture upload time! :D

Yeah my lovely classmate Nader. (:

Chris, Nana, Sasa and me. (:

Sasa and me.

The whole group of catholic girls :D bwahaha.

Because X'mas is all about forgiving, forgetting the past and moving on. (: *referring to my ex-housemate Iyvonne.* (No, I don't call her Grandma Girl anymore, see how I've matured?? :D)

Shanabelle and me! My face, yeah, chubby. *I NEVER PHOTOSHOP ANY OF MY PICTURES HAHA*

This was the outfit I wore when I mentioned the a**holes that yelled at me. IS IT OUTFIT IN ANY WAY REVEALING AT ALL?

Didn't think so. (:

xoxo karen

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT?!?!

(or rather, this morning. EARLY this morning. )

So last night, Felicia, her brother and I went out for a midnight movie. And that would have been FINE. Except.....

The minute we drove out, Jeremy (thats Felicia's brother, btw) was like pointing at the gas thingy (I dunno what you call it) and we saw it was like warning already. (which obviously means the gas was gonna habis any minute now :P) And we were like, "AHH nvm lah.." and drove on to the Curve anyways.

OK. We managed to get there without the engine dying (Major achievement, LOL) and then we went to park the car, Felicia and I. No major damage, as in didn't langgar anything, didn't langgar anyone's car, TG. (although she DID almost langgar the thing where you STOP to get parking ticket. You know, the thing that moves up and down that wan. I dunno la what you call it. :P)

OK. We went in for our movie. Spent a couple of hours there, blah blah blah. Watched Storm Warrior (OMG DO NOT WATCH THIS, I SLEPT THRU MOST OF THE DAMN MOVIE) and then we were like, "OK, that was bad..." and went to the...... wait, where's the car?? o_O

LIKE OMG WE FORGOT WHERE WE PARKED THE EFFING CAR!!!!!

OMG.

OMG.

OMG.

30 minutes later........................ (Felicia insist its 15 but I swear on my dead turtle's grave, THIRTY FREAKING MINUTES OF PANIC LATER,)

We found it. OH relief, we found the blessed car. (:

And I thought we would get to go home and forget the whole effing nightmare.

Oh, no.

THE CAR COULDN'T START.

Yes, you read right. Battery died. You know why? WE FORGOT TO SWITCH OFF THE LIGHTS. Yeap. Bimbotic or what? (Felicia, I mean. We all know I'm already a bimbo, right?) XD

And we were like OMG, what are we gonna do now, the engine won't start. And Jeremy, being the TOTAL GENTLEMAN he is, abandoned us to search for help.

So here we are. Sitting in an empty parking lot, just two girls, engine won't start, and I see two guys approaching us.

I was like, "OMG Felicia, close the door eh!" cos the two guys looked like rapists-slash-psychopaths-slash-freaks. :P

And then before we could do anything they came right up to our car!

And............................................ Offered to help us jumpstart the car. (:

I was like about to faint with relief, LOL! TGTGTG.

Christmas spirit! Total strangers stopping to help us. (Although really they DID look freaky. :P)

We got home safely. (: (after Felicia sesat a couple of times and gaduh with her brother la, but still. :D)

Dramatic much? ;D

Remind me, to never ever NEVER watch midnight movie with these two again. :D

xoxo karen

Guess what I saw in Melaka yesterday??

OHMIGOSSSSSSHHH ITS THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER!! *bimbo voice* :D

wanna see, wanna see?

Oh goodness, I WANT IT SO BAD. A pink piano! (: I love. *sigh*

I always joke to Sarah (or maybe its not a joke to me) that one day when I have a house of my own EVERY SINGLE THING WILL BE PINK. (:

I get more obsessed with the colour every day. :P (i wish there was more pink food :D HAHA)

And yeah, I'm well aware I've already posted this on Facebook but since I kinda like the picture I'm gonna post it again. :)

It was such a fun trip. A bit crazy maybe, abit childish maybe, but going out with these lovely girlfriends of mine, is a sure way to just forget all my problems and have fun. (:

I was gonna post more pics but I got too lazy. Heh.

xoxo karen

ALL8!

So I've been stranded in KL for months now. (miss mummy and daddy and Fluffy and Brownie and Walnut and and.. oh, right. My brother. :D)

And I've been dedicating blog posts to random people :D

I haven't updated my blog in days and since I'm so bored, I think I'll dedicate this blog post to my classmates.

ALL 8 2009! :)

I kinda love my classmates. I mean I spend so much time with them every single day, besides my own housemates. Thinking about it, they are like practically family to me now.

OMG, how embarrassing if some of them read this post. :D haha.

Okay well. A photo, taken at Nemo's "surprise" birthday party a couple of weeks ago. (it was more of just an excuse to throw flour and be crazy. :D)

I'll start with Faruqi.. that I never address by anything other than Qiqi.. President of Student Council and his own little world, Qiqiland :D

Then Say.. Our adorable asst class rep who is crazy and it hurts like hell when she punches me D:

Hazlin.. The really short evil girl who insults me alot. :P (But she can get away with it thanks to her cute-ness) :)

Ib.. Her housemate and the calmest girl in our class who never yells and never screams and never.. well, I've made my point. :)

Amalina.. I don't know her all that well yet but she's nice la I think :)

Ezza.. She lives in my tangga.. :D

Nader.. She is so damn loud :P haha.

Shana.. My darling Sabahan friend, the only girl in class I can speak Sabahan with, BAH. :) hehe.

Amy.. She makes me laugh and I like her alot alot alot. :) Especially her crazy obsession with her rabbits. :D

Nemo.. He. Is. Just. Evil. Enough said. :P

Hanif.. I call him monkey. :D

Shah.. He has white glasses. OMG he reminds me of the only other guy I know with white glasses. CHIA. :D

Gavin.. *so-called scandal* :S hahaha.

Ika.. Sweet, shy, and quiet. :) Mata sepet. :D

Ferd.. Crazy. Thats all I can describe him as. :P

Nisa.. The girl with the adorable pinky pink camera. :)

Kogila.. Insect hater, SHE SCREAMS SO LOUD WHEN SHE SEES INSECTS. :P she makes me laugh and I like her alot :) heh.

Gebby.. We share the same phone! Although mine is prettier thanks to the purple and the bling, bwahahahaha! ;D hehe.

Sean.. My pretty Chinese girl friend from Sarawak. :)

Please oh please, I hope I havent missed anyone. :)

Before I came here, I was from a Catholic school. Mostly Chinese-population. So coming here was a TOTAL culture shock. Like literally. Do you know, the there are only TWO Chinese girls in my class. Me and Sean. (Even then I'm not pure Chinese)

So I'm really glad I get along with these insane classmates of mine. :)

Ohhh. Ohhh. Oh. And about "him". I haven't talked to him in days.. Just a quick hi and/or bye when I see him. Enough to make me happy though :D

GAHHHH. Hopeless romantic. :S

Felicia's Elephant

This post is especially for my favourite and only roommate, Felicia. :D

Here you go. I hope you check my blog :) haha.

This elephant is Felicia's best friend. (apart from our other housemate ;) HAHA.)

But the best is yet to come.....

TA-DA!!!!! :)

In case you can't see clearly, let me just tell you about it.. This is Felicia sleeping, clutching her elephant VERY VERY tightly. ( in case I steal it, yeah, Felicia? :) hehe. )

Don't get mad and torture me!! :(

I've had my fun. :D
