Chipmunk's Seventeen

Makeup by Anpa Suha. This was 12 hours after he applied it and it was STILL immaculate and perfect! :O and for the record I sweated sooo much from all the wildass dancing and walking around.

Finally 17 you guysss! :) Had a wonderful birthday bash last night regardless of the things that went wrong (my countless times of tripping over, friends that couldn't make it, the several birds that were supposed to fly away dramatically but instead splat on the ground HAHA). I want to thank each and every one of you guys that made my seventeenth, indeed, very sweet!!!

I don't have any pictures from the (pre/after) party just yet but I'll have them up as soon as I get them from my photographer! :) Maybe I'll even post about the party in detail alongside the pics, let's just see how my laziness plays out.

I liked each and every single one of the presents people gave me, though it kinda frazzled me how SO MANY PEOPLE GOT ME BODY SCENTED THINGS. E.g: Lola perfume by Marc, Juicy Couture perfume set, Versace perfume set, Lush products... and lots and lots of body soap -_- what are you guys trying to prove here?!

Hahah I'm only joking. I know I don't stink. I think.

But yeah that's besides the point. I really enjoyed looking through all the prettily wrapped gifts and thoughtful cards :') made me feel so loved! Hehe and let's not forget the videos that my friends made for me - aaahhhh made my night just that much more amazing.

I especially loved the one that somebody very special to me madeee :)) hihi thank you again&again&again for the effort you've put in. You never fail to surprise me. Makes me wish even more you were right here to spend my bday with me :(

..but that's okay, all in good time, right!

Ok that is all for today,

16 Going On 17

*cue Sound of Music!*

Alright so it's approximately three months to my 17th birthday whoop :D now I can go on with the stereotypical girly rant of disbelief like "omg can't believe i'm that old now i still feel 14 lah wtf har har har ><"

But I don't feel that way at all and so therefore I shan't rant for your sake. You're welcome.

To be brutally honest, though, I don't feel 17... I feel like I'm in my freaking 20's or something. Well for one I have been through too many, let's just say, life experiences, for my age to even begin to justify them. Secondly, I've always been that "big mama" of the grade (being the oldest) and always the one people seek for motherly advice (HAHA fools). Thirdly, idk I don't really have a thirdly - to put things simply, I'm that kid that never acted like a kid, never hung out with kids, never looked like my age... it's so sad but it's true. Masa kecil kurang bahagia max D:

Anywhoozels, my point of this post was originally to list out some items I currently adore!!! Whee prepare to experience the shallow side of me cos here comes my Birthday Wish List ;D wink wink wink wink wink x 1000

1. AstralEye jewelery. I mean sooo freaking amazing you have to click that link and I think these would immediately glam up an outfit! Also, apparently some of them have healing properties like it claims that it can help with AIDS? Can I get a fistbump for healthy fashion?!

Beautiful, aren't they? :') There are lotsa other designs you should checkout. Twas so difficult for me to pick out a few hehe.

2. Jeffrey Campbell shoes are to die for and if you don't know his stuff then I think I need some time to contemplate our acquaintanceship :| ...I'm kidding but look at these shoes! I've been obsessing over clunky, bold-statemented shoes lately so if JC isn't your cuppa tea then I'm sorry.........that you're missing out, that is.

Those are the regular black leather Lita's and they're sold out EVERYWHERE. Well, at least the human sized ones - all they have left are like size 10's and honestly you must be a woman ogre to wear a size 10 hehehe. They go with like every possible outfit you have in your possession I swear. Instantly improves the whole look ah, loooopp.

JC is known for crazy shoewear and when he gets overboard - like Lady Gaga overboard - then that's when I'm not a huge fan. Other than that, so unique and flattering to the body! :)

3. Aztec prints!

Any sort of complex patterns as such are great to pair with solid colors! If you're feeling adventurous, you can even mix these prints with sequined tops or velvet textured clothing which is actually a huge trend right now.

4. I don't even have a Polaroid camera #boohoo but ugh drooling over the limited edition gold-rimmed polaroid film kthx.

Someone get me this!!! Oh and the cam too cos papa doesn't allow me to get one. Something about technology being too advanced to appreciate old-school polaroids. Psh, it's a form of art!

Start Of Something New

Well I guess I see how appreciation for sunsets comes in - the soft gradation of hues that can spark warmth inside you, how smoothly and gracefully the sun moves in the afternoon sky, and the reflection of it all illuminating the surface of the waters. It's undoubtedly beautiful and symbolizes the closing of the survival of another day in this crazy world. When the sun sets and the stars come out to play, we'd heave a sigh of relief, kick our shoes off, lean back, and laze in a daze under the darkness.

We wake up the next morning, the sun bright and dandy, ready to embark on another tough day of repetitious activities. Now excuse my sudden random thought but what I've noticed is that it's very seldom that we give that same appreciation that we do sunsets to sunrises.

If the sun setting gives us closure, then doesn't the sun rising gives us a sense of new beginnings? That feeling of rebirth, turning into a new leaf, finding hope you once lost along the way. When I watch a sunrise dawning (lol, pun!) upon me, I see it as the universe giving me another chance for a day better than the previous one - a shot to make things right. Is that weird? Perhaps I'm looking too deeply into the whole concept, perhaps English Lit's close-reading assignments have etched a permanent mark in me hahaha.

What I'm saying, folks, is that you should never let failures bring you and your self-esteem in a downwards spiral. It's already bad enough that you failed, you know? Don't let it discourage you even more, for that would make for another failure. So you screwed up this time, that's okay, you still have tomorrow, next time, next year. Had a bad day? Well your days can't ALL be bad if you don't make it be! The sun doesn't stay down forever...it'll rise again before you know it to brighten the new day :)

And It's Time

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! May this year be fawesome, blessed and filled with nothing but lotsa joy and puny obstacles :D Don't allow another "galau" day in your life for it is short and why waste your time on temporary trivial matters?

To make your 1st of Jan be TRULY amazing, watch the video above of my brother and I trying out rave lights for the first time. Hehehe I apologize for the painful retardation as per yush, it was 3 a.m and I was four shots and a cup of wine in :p

Jumping Jacks

I don't know what I'm doing or why I'm doing it but I did it :)

It's now or never, right? I'd rather suffer the consequences now than have to drown in the heavy waters of regret.
