2017

Yes, typical, a new year post to look back at the year of 2016 and to make more excuses to post more photos of myself. And i am going to do all of that in this post.

Looking back, 2016 was incredibly fast, memories of Melbourne trip still is as vivid as it was, almost reminded me that I only have gone to Melbourne in a recent occasion. But anyways, don't you just get amazed by how much you don't realise how many things had happened during a year. Talking about boys incidents during my birthday months and bar hopping, i totally do not feel like that was just a few months ago.

I did two Uni + Tafe all at once, was completely out at the back of my head too, i can't believe how amazing that has been, and if it wasn't my proactive approaches to life, i don't think I've have actually achieved 5/6 of my 2016 goals, it sure has been an unforgettable this year.

Of course, 2016 can't be all smooth and easy, it definitely has been hard, and even harder. For oddest reason, I don't find it hard, I find it challenging and at the same time, I've always knew hard work would always pay and I always knew i will always achieve what I set to achieve. And I did. Nothing speaks louder than actions and all these proven results constantly reminded me to keep going, keep working hard, because it worked before and it will definitely work again.

Those are some of internet slangs I overused in 2016.

• slay
• on point
• as bright as my future
• something higher than my GPA
• up your game 
• gold af
• lit af
• 'something' game strong 
• treat yo self 
• independent woman who needs a no man 

Slogan of 2016 : Make it happen 

I set this slogan for myself in 2016 to constantly remind myself to be proactive about life, experience, people, skill development and about my own personal growth and learning. And I did, and that was probably the most satisfying thing to do, if i even encounter doubt, i always ask myself "is this uncomfortable? and if the answer is yes, I always say to myself "then make it comfortable!" 

There's something I've also learnt about being so ridiculous independent is that, yes you do want human connections, affections and company from time to time. And there's also on many occasions and many times of this year, I've looked into my phone and tried to call someone, realised there's not many people I can count on, no matter how many friends i've made this year,  there's barely anyone that I could call at anytime of the day to do anything. So I learnt to love myself, and i learnt to be my own best friend, and i've learn to enjoy having more solitude time, doing more things on my own, and that opened up a totally new experience and some new thoughts on life, myself and more. And of course, shout out to my spontaneous friend of the year *Shell <3* (god bless your spontaneous soul). 

For this year, I've discovered an intense affection towards colours, and especially pastel colours, I've always loved it, and there's no way my wardrobe be monochrome, i am a crazy fish lady who loves colours. And especially 2016. 

There's many moments and nights of 2016, my brain just doing weird thoughts late at night, so pretty must i lost my sleeps on multiple occasions. I hope 2017 will be better with my sleeping patterns, been trying to adjust it still fucked up, but i ain't giving up. 

Well, and of course, thank you for people who came into my life somehow, whether if its just that random lady at the NYE party last night, or my long term friends who were always with me every year, all of you have made an incredible 2016 for me. And bad things, memories and people shall be forgotten in 2017. Positive vibes only, no negativity. 

Some photos from the single's NYE park party last night 

Me:"lets do a candid photo, pretend we are talking and looking at each other."
Her:" looks at me, and whispered "you are so full of shit."
I felt the love 

This is a photo for the single ladies :)

Those incredible single ladies who I got to spend my NYE with. <3 

XOXO

 Happy New Year

8 Types of People who I have 0 tolerance with

Just some negativity to balance out this overly positive blog :) Binge posting cos i dont wanna do my assignments and don't wanna feel bad for doing nothing, hence this. 

1. being a biggest hypocrite 

It can't be just me who absolutely hated the crap out of these type of people, right? Fake bitches whatever you call it, really gets on my nerve. I have 0 tolerance for people like this. Bye Felicia 

2. overly self-absorbed and have no room for other human

This can't get any straight forward or self- explanatory enough. People who are selfish af, have no attributions to other humans rather than themselves, for them even to give a favour would cost them an arm and a leg. I don't know why these kind of people have friends or connections. Seriously, wanna withstand in this society, you gotta put your selfishness away and collaborate, help each other out. They probs gonna die alone or not. Maybe I will, cos i am being a harsh bitch right now. Oh well, hormone days. 

3. Lazy ones with that attitude of " I wish I've done that. I am so jealous. Why am I not achieving something?" - Durrrh cos you are one lazy as bitch. 

I always firmly believe, everyone deserves what they worked for. Lazy bitches deserve nothing, they don't work but instead they just do nothing and hope to have a good life like hard-working people. No felicia, bye. These type of people, you just need to get rid of them as fast as possible, you honestly don't need them to slow you down. 

4. the I will just live the moment

People who are like this, generally have no motivations or plans for life (not all). not a big fan sorry. I'd like friends who are motivated and smart about their life. 

5. immature people

yeh, you know, i am a bit of old soul and i like mature mindsets and rich life experience. 

6. judgemental and the typical gossip girl 

girls with unresting gossip tires me, and drains my energy. So no. 

7. negative people who complains way too much about little things

I can't stress enough how negative vibe can impact your life, it would shorten your "life-expectancy". (i am joking but in all seriousness, these people are just tiring to deal with, cos they would complain about every little things like lining up for a public toilet in the lunch time, it takes too long to get to get back home because peak hour etc. you get the idea. 

8. when people have 0 appreciations and take things for granted 

when they think that everything they have or things others have done are something they DESERVED. yeh you deserve to have no friends also. Bye felicia 

XOXO 

Favourite Quotes from Random Reads : #1 July- August 2016

The following quotes are some of my favourite ones from random online articles. They are maybe a little bit too irrelevant or too true to not put them into my favourite quotes collection. Those quotes are mainly from July and this month. Unfortunately I won't be able to reference them at all. 

 Enjoy ! 

"It’s hard being a left-hander in a right-handed world."

"So why do we sleep? When I asked my mum the same question, she responded indisputably: “We sleep because we get sleepy”."

"You curl up in bed and dream a little or not, snore a bit or a lot, and eventually wake up well-rested, but most often not."

"It’s similar to when you’re spaced out driving and the green light abruptly turns yellow, but you’re too close to make a sudden stop and too far away to coast through the light easily. "

" The truth is you still want their attention, don’t want them to end up elsewhere, straight up hate being alone, or something of that nature. We’re weak, we’re in need, we’re in the moment — but most of all, we’re human."

" It’s hard to be relaxed about trusting someone you care about when they can be involved with anyone else, and attempt to justify it on the technicality that you’re not ‘official’. Then there’s the fact that even if you claim not to care, and have a friends-with-benefits type of connection, you’re probably destined to fail. Eventually someone will develop stronger feelings, and if they’re not reciprocated, it’s catastrophic." 

"Sarah Corse, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Virginia, along with Jennifer Silva, a sociology professor at Harvard, ran the study. What they found is that you can’t find long-term love if you can’t afford groceries or movie tickets for two."

" Mature-age students traditionally enjoy telling the rest of the class mundane, irrelevant stories about their families or children, with most arriving annoyingly early to lectures to secure a prime seat in the front row – while others even find it acceptable to bring their young children to the library." 

"This is the recipe for disaster."

"When you feel anxious or afraid to be alone, you usually haven't developed a strong enough sense of self. That can lead you to choose romantic partners from a place of desperation rather than a place of strength."

Short hairstyles you could have after your pixie grows longer

I know what a pain in the arse to choose a hairstyle for your long pixie. 

I hate that awkward period of pixie - yes-i-had-pixie-but-now-i-am-waiting-for-it-to-grow-longer. 

I am exactly in that awkward phrase right now, that my pixie is long but not long enough to have a different hairstyle and styleless, short but then not short enough to have a style. But don't you worry i won't let my pixie just be like that, here are some of possible hair trims you could possible consider to trim your pixie into and let it grow longer then. 

Before i start, one last photo of this perfect pixie cut. <3 

So if you hair is still in a shape of pixie, you maybe want to have it trimmed to give a little bit of pixie style into it. 

Once it grows longer you can start making to look a bob OR 

trim it like this OR 

Leave it grow and add some styles to it. REALLY have fun with them tho, ;) K. i should off to see if i can get a hair trim today <3 

XOXO

Melbourne Travel Diary Day 4 - Last day in Melbourne !

Honestly, we were  a little sad because it was our last day to explore Melbourne; however, we were still quite planned out like every other Melbourne-tripping day  ;) Of course, as ABS's tradition, our mission was to find the good as brunch place. So the plan for the day was to explore Fitzory first! 

Groupie OOTD

On my way to Fitzory on a tram 

The following photos are some of my footages while we were trying to find Hammer & Tong for Melbourne brunch treat

Senpai, notice her. 

Typical Melbourne, another cold af summer day again. 

This is where Hammer & Tong located

 ------------Hammer & Tong, Fitzory VIC -------------

3 shots of this foodie 

this bizarre combo of ice cream and shredded bacon tasted unexpectedly nice 

And then the adventure begins ~  

We HAD to stop at this store, it's insanely beautiful and fairy like appearance, we were unable to just walk pass it without actually going in. We did, and I was totally amazed with how beautifully all the plants were displayed, very neat, well organised and aesthetically satisfying. 

View from my returning tram 

---------------------Melbourne Aquarium-----------------

I gave my aquarium virginity to Melbourne. ;) I've never been to an aquarium before for many reasons, and I was so thrill to be able to go. When Sarah and Anh decided there were too many activities and too little time, they were about to cancel aquarium. I decided if this is cancelled then I will just go to aquarium by myself. I was deperate ;) BUT they didn't !! 

We were actually gonna go the Brighton beach but the weather was a mess.

it's smiling at me ;) 

Sarah's favourite fish of the day 

better shot of Sarah's favourite fish 

a rare groupie since i was always the one to take photo 

she is excited

Sarah's favourite fish 2.0

she is excited 2.0 

I love Penguins ;) 

Now I've realised I haven't got a photo with penguin ;( oh. damn what a shame. 

After aquarium visit, we decided we will split up and do some personal activities. I believe Sarah and Anh went shopping, but I was totally falling for this beautiful city and I decided I will use my last bit of time to go around CBD and photograph some of the beautiful buildings. 

Flinder St Station

a quick dinner at 8bits

                                   

---------------Victorian State Library--------------

On our way to Crown Casino. There was a girl busking on the street and her singing got us so absorbed, ah~ we almost didn't want to go anywhere, but stay there and hear her sing

oh there's a couple kissing ? 

Crown Casino is way bigger than Brisbane one, It's got so many levels and there was a shopping centre within the Casino, clubs and restaurants. Damn. And Anh won 20 bucks and I won ZERO. HAHAH luck was never with me. We sang our way back because that's what we do, karaoke in the car, karaoke in the room, karaoke on the street and karaoke our way to life. ;) A good way to life! 

My last brunch meal in Melbourne. This was taken in the next morning before we headed off for our plane on Friday ! 

Woo! Finally Melbourne travel diary is now officially completed. 

It was actually my first trip with friends, and it was an amazing and unforgettable one ! 

I love Melbourne, Melbourne metro boyz, pixie girls and everything! 

Now I'll have to complete my Melbourne Vlogs, I ceebs doing it because there are way too many to edit !!! Why did i take so many vids ???? 

Read Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 

XOXO

Bye. 

Stay warm since Brisbane recently has been crazily cold
