Day 13: Issue a public apology.

To the four cats next door. I'm sorry for always chasing you guys away all the time by banging on the windows in order to scare you and also shouting at you. I'm also sorry if my dad used water guns to shoot water at ya'll; but you guys should know that ya'll are really annoying. Please stop meowing at midnight.

To all my SHB teachers. Sorry for humming in all your classes 24/7, I can't help it. Mr. P, I'm sorry I took a picture of your girlfriend's (now fiance) photograph that was always on your desk. You weren't at school that day so I seized the opportunity. I wish you two all the best. (P/S I already deleted the picture a long time ago.)

To all my friends who drive. I'm sorry I always have to depend on you guys to drive me around. :P Don't worry, I'm gonna be getting my license pretty soon.

To my closest friends. I'm sorry I haven't been the friend that I should've been.

To the family. Sorry for being a disappointment at times, but I'm thankful that you all still love me and support me no matter what. :')

To all my readers. Sorry if I ever bore you with the crap that I write about at times. Heh.



Day 12: What do you miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of your life...)

I MISS SYDNEY! I really do. Lol. The family went to there last year before flying off to Canberra for Mel's graduation. I think I'm happiest when I'm on vacation with the whole fambamz. I don't know, Sydney was just a really, really enjoyable and satisfying trip. Our schedules were full everyday and I loved every second of it. Lol. I loved the food that we ate, the places that we went to, all the memories that we had there but just like I've mentioned earlier, I'm happiest when I'm with the whole family because it's not often that Mel gets to join us. I felt like a child again, back in Sydney last year; free of worries. Oh, how I long for that again. Haha but then again, what is life without ups and downs?

Let the pictures do all the talking. :)



It's just not right to go to Sydney without going to Bondi Beach.























FRIED MARS BARS. T___T Why don't we have that here in M'sia. I am deeply saddened.

Day 10: Most embarrassing moment (s). Spill.

So, this topic had been on my mind ever since day 1 but..it was just so flippin tough to think of that one EMBARRASSING (until can die) moment. I probably don't remember most of them because they were too embarrassing and I just repressed all of them bad memories hahaha, as a form of defense mechanism. LOL okay whut, Kimblee you're blabbering now. 

Without further ado...this was the best I could come up with. Not dead embarrassing, but still pretty embarrassing to me..

#1

So, this was my band (that's me playing the drums) for the SHB House Music Competition. We were supposed to have a sound check the day before our actual performance. So we were just kind of chill and everything, playing our jam (We played LMFAO's Park Rock Anthem and also Queen-Somebody To Love) and doin' our thang you know...and then SUDDENLY, I was so chilled that like, the drum sticks just flew out of my hands while we were performing during our soundcheck and there were STUDENTS and TEACHERS there okay, it was embarrassing as heck. I quickly walked approximately 1.5m in front of the drums (HAHAH.), picked up my drumsticks and just acted as if nothing happened. (Y) Hah, way to go, Kimmeh.



#2

So I had a crush on this guy, A, when I was in standard 2; and I was really close to his best friend as well, B. B and I used to talk over the phone quite often then. One fine day, I told him that I liked A and I made him promise not to tell a single soul, and he said he would keep his promise.

THE VERY NEXT DAY...

A came up to me and said, "Kimberly, I know your secret". I was so embarrassed I hid under the desk. When I went back home, I said to B, "I told you not to tell anyone!" And what did I get as a reply?

"I promise I didn't tell anyone else! The only person I told was A"

Oh, wow.

Chilly Gonzales x Stars - Nothing Good Comes To Those Who Wait



I admit-my taste in music is getting weirder with each passing day...but oh well, I welcome change.

(:

Day 9: A moment in your day.

As usual, I'm gonna break the rules, so; here were a 'few moments' in my day. :)

Yes, I know right, my nails were disgustingly long. :S It was time I cut them. (Duhh)


PSYKON playing in the background while I was cutting them nailz. You guys need to give it a listen! Here you go: https://soundcloud.com/daftnuts/that-one-korean-girl-on-tumblr

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure has sick beats. :3


Yeah...I played a bit of Deer Hunter and Freddi Fish on my phone today. Wooh (Y)


However...I spent majority of my evening just putting everything back into place. It's a tough job, you guys. You have no idea. -__- Bahaha okay now I just sound weak, scratch that.

Day 8: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all.

Frankly speaking, this topic is blimey tough to write on, because it's so easy to give any piece of advice to anyone at all, at anytime of the day. I can say all the right things at the right time, but..do I even follow my own advice? Well I suppose I do, most of the time. Haha. Most of us know the right thing to do, but we just subconsciously wish that other people would advise us to do otherwise. Am I right or am I right? I am right.

BUT OH WELL since I already got myself into this mess...

I'd say always be yourself, but that just sounds...gay. VERY VALUABLE ADVICE INDEED, but way too corny. ^^,

I guess the one piece of advice I have for everyone (including myself) out there is-NEVER DO SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU'D REGRET DOING LATER ON IN LIFE.

Yeah, easy for you to say Kimmeh, but you'll never know if you never try...right?

Meh. Haha.

I know most of you probably think I'm talking about "losing your V card" and all...well, that too, but really, it applies to everything; whether in terms of relationships, your work, your studies..just life in general. I guess all I'm trying to say is, think about the consequences of your actions before doing anything.

Oh, and another piece of advice...follow your own advice-the very same advice you'd give to help another person in need. Afterall, you know yourself best!

Day 7: The thing(s) you're most afraid of

Change. Change is inevitable, I know that. Everyone does. However, the mere thought of it still scares me. I admit, I am quite resistant to change, but I'm willing to get out of my comfort zone and take a risk. With time, everything changes; things change, situations change, feelings change, first impressions change..people change. The same goes with our vision, our dreams, our likes and dislikes, our partners--although I hope that doesn't happen often! Hahahaha. Well the thing is, we, humans do not possess that power to change certain things, and that's just life. Change is part and parcel of life (as how my mother would put it). But I always keep in mind that whatever change that is/has been brought upon my life may just be part of God's perfect plan to mold me into a better person-the person He has intended me to be.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord  "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". -Jeremiah 29:11




Hurting others in any way.

Small wriggly stuff. (specifically maggots eww even typing that word gives me the jitters.)

Good Doctor: Pickup Line

If you read my pre-30 day blog challenge post, you'd know that I'm kind of very into this new korean drama, Good Doctor. Probably one of the best dramas I've watched. It's not your typical korean drama where there's the perfect couple, and then there's the third party, then there's always this b.. crazy woman --FAST FORWARD-- and then one day someone gets either cancer or tuberculosis and dies.

Anyway, I was watching Good Doctor last Tuesday and there was this pickup line which I thought was kinda cheesy but funny.

P/S If you're a medical student and you're interested in one of your course mates, you could probably use this on him/her. :P

Person 1: What is your blood type?
Person 2: Type 'AB'
Person 1: Really? I don't think so. I think you're MY type

Hahahahhahahahahahah genius.

Day 6: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?

 I'm a Psych student. Sometimes, I make people psycho.

Just sometimes..

..in a good way.

I make music.

I sing. 

In the shower, most of the time.

I dance.

Only either in my dreams, or when noone's around.

I dream.

I indulge in sinful food like ice cream. And chicken; everything nice.

I try to make people laugh.

At times, I end up making them cry.

I write.

I socialize.

I work hard [only when I want to].

I procrastinate.

I try.

I love.

I fail.

I disappoint.

I'm only human.

What do you do?


Look out for Day 7: The thing(s) you're most afraid of


Day 5: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your bloggerfriends.

Note to reader: Yes guys, I know I missed a day. I had legit reasons for my absence..I was studying for my Undang test, lol. (literally some last minute nerding going on last night...it's okay, it paid off.) I shouldn't have procrastinated as much as I did.  Haha :/, oh well. I guess I'll make up by writing 2 posts in one day. :D (no promises, though.)


Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member


Oh, this one's pretty easy. Hannah Khaw Huey Mei. She's all 3 of the above; one of my blogger friends, a real-life friend for life and a sister. In Christ. :P Mindblowing, or what? Anyway, moving on...


That's us right there, and that's Hannah in hot pink ;) Our good ol' Ellie strutting and doing it's thang!

This is for you, Othello, my love. :P

I will always remember the first time I met you at church; with your 'tocang' hair (HAHAHA.) and your baju kurung. I was 7 and I thought, eh I thought Malay cannot go to church one? Lol. That was almost exactly 12 years ago. 

Throughout the years, you've remained a faithful friend. We've had too many good memories together; sleepovers, jodoh-jodoh, firecrackers at the beach during CNY, Barbarella days, Hercules (hergh hergh), shooting love potions, doodling on our little sermon note books, jamming sessions, spitting Barley/Milo out, and the list goes on...

You are probably one of the most talented and brilliant people person I know. I know I often exaggerate (lol) but I really mean it. You're super smart; not only book smart but also street smart, you're super good at the guitar, you play the piano beautifully, I'm yet to hear you play the sax but I'm sure you're improving day by day with practice. You're diligent, hardworking, super creative, you claim you suck at sports-I don't know about that-but I remember you used to be good (maybe swimming in Aus was different...lol). Your beautiful way of writing captivates peoples' hearts (or at least mine anyway). You're also a young woman after God's own heart, and reading your blog constantly reminds me of how great our God is and all of the good things He has done for me thus far.

I admit I haven't been the greatest of friends.

And sometimes, I feel like I haven't appreciated you enough.

But I just want to let you know that I'm truly blessed to have YOU as a friend, and that I couldn't have asked for a better friend. Thank you for making me a better person. :)

Lotsa love from the babi. <3

Day 4: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it



1 Samuel 16:7 says, "..Men look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart" I'm glad that throughout the years, I've always looked at the heart. The heart never lies. :)

I'll cheat and throw in a few others. Don't mind me.

Don't make decisions when you're angry; don't make promises when you're happy. 
-annonymous
I think this quote is very relatable to all of us; we make rash decisions when we're angry (although i must say, i almost never get angry, haha! but you might not want to wake me up early in the morning.), but always remember this--once we say something hurtful or degrading to another person, we can never take it back. Also, the other person would probably remember those words of ours for the rest of their lives so...we don't want to be scarring people now, do we? Also, I admit that I've made promises when I was 'happy', and I broke them. Haha. And am guilty about it. So, that's another thing I'm working on. Oh well, noone's perfect. :3

You have to be able to laugh at yourself. That's what I tell Asian people all the time. -Sarah Silverman
..just because I'm Asian. Got it, Sarah! (;

Remember, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose. 
-Darrin Weinberg
I don't know about you guys, but I find this particular one really funny. Hahahah.

Hope ya'll have been having a good weekend so far! :)

Day 3: Things that make you uncomfortable

New environments. Attending social events and seeing unfamiliar faces everywhere. (I do enjoy meeting people and making new friends, but certain situations just wouldn't allow me to do that)

Public speaking. Speaking in front of a crowd gets me really, reaaallyy anxious. My mind just goes blank, my legs become like jelly and I stutter. Lol, it sucks. I've always had this problem, but I'm working on it. I think I've become a tad bit more confident ever since I went to ISB and SHB, though. However, I do not get anxious when having a conversation with someone whom I've never met before.

Cussing. Like, every second. I kinda get irritated--talking to a person and having to hear them swear in every flippin' sentence. Haha. I mean, it's not even necessary. Plus, cussing don't make you cool, bruh.

Discussions on inappropriate topics. Need I say more?

Career talks. When people (well..specifically adults) ask me about my future aspirations and career. I'd be happy to answer your questions ma'am/sir, but it just stresses me out when you look me in the eyes when asking me those questions and just waiting, and waiting; for a convincing answer. Lol. I'm planning to major in Psychology; why? Because I find it interesting. What am I gonna be doing with my Psych major in the future? I'm not too sure now, but I'd wanna take on a role which would bring me a sense of fulfillment. I'd want to love what I do and at the same time, help those in need.

Awkward silences.

Wet socks. And any footwear for that matter.  

Being the 'middle person'. Ever been in a situation where like, you get caught in between 2 other friends who are 'fighting'; or a couple who's going through a rough patch (they probably made the issue more complicated than it really is...) ? Yeah..you wouldn't want to experience that, trust me.

I could probably make an uber long list of things that make me uncomfortable, but I'm reallyyy sleepy right now so I'm going to take a nap now. Yay. :) Stay tuned for
 Day 4: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it

Day 2: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at

Okay, let's be honest here. We all have been guilty of procrastinating at some point in our lives. I really don't mean to brag here (I am very humble as you can probably tell.), but I'm excellent at procrastinating. Top class procrastinator. Not only do I know a lot about it; I am also very good at it. Therefore, I'm going to educate you guys on..



First and foremost, the definition of 'procrastination'...hmm actually, I'll just do that later as well. Haha.

Procrastination kills. The act of procrastinating does not only kill time, but it can also potentially kill your eyesight, brain cells, motivation to work and it may eventually kill your soul. Lol. Surround yourselves with friends who delay their assignments all the time and it is highly probable that you would become a pro; just like them. ^^ Since I specialize in this particular area, I will educate you on HOW TO PROCRASTINATE LIKE A BOSS :D

PROCRASTINATION 101: How To Procrastinate Like A Boss

STEP 1

Firstly, you need to realise that YOU'RE YOUR OWN BOSS and be aware of the fact that procrastinating itself; isn't as hard as you think it is. In fact, it is awfully simple!-especially once you get the hang of it. (Warning: It may be awfully simple but if you overdo it, the consequences are simply awful.) You know what they say, it all starts with the right mind set ;)

STEP 2

Got an assignment due in 24 hours? Don't worry! Find the most comfortable spot to do your assignment; preferably a place with super strong wifi. Oh, don't forget cushions. IMPORTANT REMINDER: MAKE SURE YOUR CELLPHOHE IS NEVER OUT OF SIGHT.

STEP 3

Socialize, for goodness sake. Log onto facebook and start chatting with all your friends! You'd need them to help keep you alive and motivated to finish start your assignment.

STEP 4

Listen to some music (preferably on YouTube) while attempting to do your assignment. Perhaps you should just watch a video or two (or twenty) and you'll never know, an idea might just spark.

STEP 5: The Final & Most Important Step

So you're a pro at procrastinating now, right? Now you have 8 hours till the deadline for your assignment. NOW....you start to panic. :D Now would be a very good time to test your abilities to see how well you work and perform under pressure. Just do whatever you need to do in order to get your assignment done and over with. When presenting your final assignment to your teacher, make sure you do it with full of confidence. You can get detained and deal with the plagiarism issues and all later, 'cause chances are, all your classmates are probably going to be facing the same issues as well.


And that's how you procrastinate like a BOSS! I hope these tips were helpful. Please let me know if you guys want any more tips, I'd be more than happy to help, since I love helping others. :)


On a serious note...guys, please don't follow my footsteps, lol. Procrastinating doesn't do you any good (most of the time). So, STOP PROCRASTINATING..

..starting tomorrow :)

Day 1: The story of your life in 250 words or less

Know what guys? Let's just scrape the 250 words or less part. I mean really, noone's gonna be counting heheh, right? 

Here goes nothing...




I was born as the ultimate cry baby. You can ask my sister, she'd know best. (Shoutout to you, sistah! Missing youuu.) So from the age of 0-3, pretty much all i did, was cry. And after that...well, I don't really know what changed but my crying days were over. Thank God. However, I lived life in silence. I never spoke a word to anybody other than my family members. I gave the silent treatment to everybody, literally HAHAHA. Yeah, my sister's friends in kindie would say that I was cute (lol) and I'd just be like okay cool-in my mind, and not respond. THENNN..at the age of 5, again, I don't know what changed but I was sooo active, I formed a close bond with 2 of these other girls and we played Powerpuff Girls all day errday man. The best. Hahahaa (Don't ask me how our 'game' went, please.)

Moving on to primary school...

I went to SK Taman Megah for 2 years and I made good friends, friends that I can still count on up to this very day. :) Hmm I was a tomboy back then-I wore pants all the time, I loved running and heck, I ran fast, like I used to beat practically ALL the boys every time I raced with them. Well except this one guy...lol. Just one. I climbed poles and just ran everyday, yeap. :D

And then I spent the remaining of my primary school life at SKBU(4). No offense to all SKTM-ers but I had a blast there. :D So glad I moved there. I also met one of my best friends, Priscilla, then. Our friendship is still going strong after 10 years.

Oh..when I was about 8, I cupped my hamster of 2 months in my hands but it ran out of my grasp and...it fell. It died 2 days later and I was heartbroken. And guilty. I still feel guilty now. T_T

Okay, so i succeeded to convince myself that I hated my secondary school, BU3 the first 2 years I was there. Boy, was I wrong lol. My highlight was my form 4 life, though. Man, 2010 was the sickest year! I met a bunch of people who were always there to brighten up my high school days. And I dare say that they will always be friends I can rely on even in the future. You guys know who you are.

Then my life changed drastically. JENG JENG JENG. As most of you know (I hope, lol) I went to Bangkok Nov '10 and I just came back for good recently. There's too much to write about, but I'll summarise my Bkk life in a nutshell.

When I first went there, I was struggling and it was the hardest time for me. Especially adapting to the Elite American school that I attended for the first 7 months. (You know lah, high school in M'sia was so chilled, jai yen yen only) I had difficulties with practically everything-socialising (I kinda felt intimidated), my subjets, finding my locker for the first month HAHA, assignments, just everything. Oh! I got detention for the first time ever for wearing flip flops to school ^^ However, after 7 grueling months, I didn't have any regrets. Because i learnt just SO MUCH while I was there. Plus, I made good friends. Tata, Hanjoo, Sayaka, you guys definitely made my ISB life better. Ruk tok khun, sarangae, aishiteru. :P

And then I did A levels at Shrewsbury Intl School. Here, I found myself being myself again. Great friends, great teachers, great memories here. In short, I wouldn't change my whole Bangkok experience for anything else. Lotsa first-time experiences. Some interesting ones, some not so interesting.

AS FOR NOW...

I'm just taking things one step at a time. I want to study hard and have the time of my life in uni, and I'm still waiting for the right one to come along although it feels as if I've been waiting forever, JUST KIDDING HAHAHAHA yeah, ain't waiting for noone, nope.

Well, that's the story of my life, in one, massive nutshell.
:)

 P/S I already told you guys, no way I can write my life story in 250 words or one paragraph...heh.


Tuesday 17 September 2013

Blog everyday for 30 days

Or in other words...the 30 day blog challenge jeng jeng jeng.

Again.

Yes, yes, I know, I have attempted to do this in the past but I failed to do so. I ended up taking over 3 months to complete that one particular task (Or rather, 30-in-one, heh). Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think I ever completed that challenge. Whoops!

BUT GUYS, I'm back. I'm so pumped for this challenge man. #comeatme I decided to do the 30 day blog challenge that was actually created and started by one of the bloggers that have inspired me to start blogging again, you can visit her site at www.storyofmylife.blogspot.com :)

Well okay, in all honesty, I have a month left till I start uni, and I figured that I HAD do some kinda thing with my life, you know? Hahah. Other than learning how to drive, catching up with friends, eating, sleeping and watching my korean series, Good Doctor. Wooh. Guys, I'm proud to say that this is the only show I'm watching at the moment. And they only air it on Mondays and Tuesdays, which leaves me hanging in this crazy suspense every time the episode ends on Tuesday nights. -_- And yes, i DID have itchy fingers, i once went on Google and I just blindly googled and read some of the recaps of episodes that I have yet to watch (and I'm not ashamed of it)...well well, what can I say, curiousity kills a cat. Lol.

Oh, and while I'm on that topic...apprently I look like a cat. According to my friend, (who claims to be Batman) anyway.


I mean, honestly man, I look nothing like a cat...

Yeah alright, I've strayed faar from the whole point of this blog post lol. My apologies, fellow readers.

So, this is the list of topics that I'd be blogging about starting..tomorrow, yes tomorrow. I'm not gonna be writing bout my "whole life story" right now at 12.40am when my nose is running and my throat hurts are you kidding me. Okay...bye. Peace ya'll ^^v Are you feeling my Asian vibes or whut
