Just sleep

Breakfast to kick start the day: 

'Bon Go Jang' Fresh Udon and seaweed

Slept really, really early last night around 8pm. I was not feeling well and there were symptoms of falling sick. Since my brain wasn't functioning properly, I had to give up on my study plan and go to bed early.

Ironically, I wasn't feeling happy at all even though.. I should be: Finally found a legit excuse for me to sleep instead of revising.

Right -.-

I guess it all comes to the same theory. When you finally manage to skip school by pretending that you're sick, I swear it's one of the best feeling ever on earth. But you won't feel good when you're really ill and couldn't go out to hang out with people.

Anyway, I would like to express my gratitude to my caring housemates :) Thank you..

Chwin Wern: for the Panadol.
Hana: for refilling my water bottle for me with Redoxon Vitamin C effervescent tablet.

xoxo

I'm feeling more energized now!

Savoring life’s simple pleasures

 Meiji plain crackers

Highland cherry tomatoes with roasted sesame salad dressing

Campbell mushroom soup with croutons.

Those days when you feel reluctant to get up early and go to the dining hall... 

It's always not a bad idea to create your own breakfast menu out of the limited groceries and kitchen facilities available.You will be surprised at how much satisfaction a simple meal prepared by yourself could offer.

I was in my room all day long with piles of books and notes and past year papers... so dull and boring that I really feel like fast-forwarding everything to 8.30pm of 22nd June. (last paper fyi)

I thought.

until I got an unexpected 'Chatime' delivery :B

Though it wasn't my favourite flavour, I couldn't stop smiling from the first sip all the way till the last 'pearl'. It's the thought that counts, really. 

生活就是要这样写意，这样小幸福。

念书辛苦点算什么

A good start

Started my first paper of the term yesterday and I am glad to say that I had given my best shot.

Although I thought that the paper was pretty easy, it was tedious and the probability of making careless mistakes was relatively high. Nevertheless I swear I was being extra paranoid and careful  when solving each question. Doing like this was time consuming but at least safer.

So presumably nothing went wrong I think I am definitely getting a perfect score this time.whee this is a very good start :D

 

Steph and Hana were busy discussing their Stats paper after coming back and I had not enough energy to shoo them out of my room. Standing ON my comfy bed! Vandalizing my whiteboard! wth and it's not like I remember the topics in that module also (I took it like..last year?) Couldn't even join in the conversation! But still, my two darlings were just funny and lovable I just sit there and stare at them :) ♥

 

 Woke up this morning when Ms Campbell delivered these sweet things to my room.
Exam Care Package! :') huhu best Housemistress on earth thank you so much it made our day.

And then I remember a few days back daddy sent me a cheesy email with all the motivational elements in it as usual. At first I laughed so hard because he's too cute to write a letter for his daughter. I mean how many people's daddy do that? I laughed because I sensed that he's trying to do something really inspiring and touching and I was like : No, daddy you please don't try to do cheesy stuffs I am so not gonna fall into your trap & cry like mummy haha :D But at last I still shed some tears partly because I was tired after studying and felt homesick at the same time. Gee thanks daddy you successfully made my eyes puffy the next morning.

and then I also recalled all the cute, naggy words of wisdom from ze monkey, asking me when's my first paper, have I been studying, whether I have got any further maths questions to ask or not etc.

There are so many people supporting my back. Seriously what else could I ask for..

为了爱而努力，很真实不是？

almost end-of-term before all the examsss

Finally got our house portrait already. 

We have this photo session annually and this is already my second time taking it. and also my last house photo :')

 

 
the formal version.
huhu I look like a gigantic fat house captain here :/ not the usual mini Grace.
*Must be angle problem!
but oh well, at least I look happy don't I? :)

and the crazy one. Haha not really clear here but we were all wearing paper mustaches  :{P
Alia love ♥

 

another lazy afternoon..

with tons of prep and revision waiting to be accomplished.

 

my lucky baby UCL.

I'm so grateful that they have finally made me an offer. I've always wanted a London Uni and I understand that it's pretty competitive to get in for Economics so no matter what I am going to make sure that I get in there this September.

Though conditional, I am confident that I can meet their grade requirement.

Unless I am so idiotic enough to not study and let it slip through my fingers.

NO WAY I WILL LET THIS HAPPEN. 

I PROMISE.

One of the reason I updated my fb status about my offer from UCL was also because I wanted to give myself the pressure; to force myself to make it a reality. I don't want to let myself down, and so do you guys who liked my status.

so, let's gambateh together! :)

 my bathroom mate Hana always do funny things like this without failing to make me LOL
:3

guess i should sleep now, so I will be less reluctant to get up from my bed tomorrow when she wakes me up for breakfast.


Good night, world.

weekend shopping + monday blues

Went out for weekend shopping yesterday :)
happiest time of the week ♥

Didn't buy any clothing this time. Not even a single T-shirt.
I don't know why but sometimes I just don't have the mood to shop for clothes. weird!
BUT I spent A LOT on groceries. my cupboard is full of FOOD now :P not forgetting those in the refrigerator. Feel so happy! Having good food in life means you're having a good life. LOL.

Showing some of my shopping haul.. all the non-food. oh well, not much but still,  spending on cute things can make me really happy :D

It's a pink bow hair band :) fluffy cute!

and this. 24 Twin tip markers for RM10 only. AHHHH best buy of the day :') I've been craving for colour markers for some time

Continental Bakery delivery from Penang! Thank you mummy daddy for buying me my favourite food :P and thank you Hazel for bringing them back to ktj! I can be fat nao haha ♥


*sigh* Tomorrow's Monday! and I am annoyed as usual :/ can't I have more holidays? seriously.

Keep calm and eat cupcakes

When it comes to baking, Alia house is the best.
 especially cupcakes!!

I'm not going to write much today but will just spam you with all these homemade pretty fairy cupcakes by Alia girls for the Charity sale this Saturday night.


Be prepared to drool...... :P

Carrot

Never get tired of doing little things for others, 
sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.♥

Awesome KTJ peeps

I'm seriously out of topic to blog about at the moment :/ but for the sake of updating my dear bloggie, I shall just post about my dear friends and also my dear Interact Club that colours my boarding life in KTJ. *korek-ing photos*

ah here you go.. some random shots during KTJ Interact Club's ice breaking session of the term. We always organize games every start of a new term to welcome the new comers to our big big family :)

 

my helpful VP doing the all talk while I can chill and take pichas haha :D

 

Joining Interact has been one of my best decision made in KTJ and will be one of my dearest memory in KTJ when I leave, definitely :')

___________

Great friends made life in the 'jail' so much better, really. *wears big smile*

This post is so crappy but I still like :D

HoHoHoHoliday

, only for a month though.

Term 3 has ended and I am now back in my hometown, Penang.
I'm supposed to have lots of fun this year end but damn, I just can't forgo the fact that Edexcel Maths exams are coming real soon in January. It's super duper important because there are papers that will determine my fate, literally. lol

So i guess my companion for this Christmas would be tons of practice papers, solomon press papers, past year papers etc. whee, how exciting! -.-

'Bling-ed' my calculator with some cheap craft gems. Now that she's so pretty the owner's always feeling enthusiastic whenever she do maths :D

Received these cute X'mas cookies dedication from my dear KTJ friends before end-of-term.
Felt so guilty because I didn't order for them. Blame the character built up from being an economics student. but alas, I did bake some by myself for all my close friends on the last day of the term. Cost effective plus lots of love. Hah! :P

Loving the snowing effect on my blog! ☃
I'm so ready for Christmas :)) Coz I'm going to Tokyo next week!


Have a great holiday and stay tuned ♥

Misa Amane for a night

Last Monday was a public holiday and our college's student council and prefectorial board organized a social night based on the theme 'Fright Night'. Some sort of belated halloween celebration in the school.

Have been thinking of what character to play since we prefects first came out with the idea of fright night. Well, many didn't take it seriously but I did. LOL. I mean, costume parties are always fun! Many people dressed up as vampires, devils etc. and as always, I wanted to be a bit different :P

I could have just face-painted myself into a scary zombie or some shit but yea, I wanted to look good. duh. So I thought of Misa Amane from Death Note. She's pretty cute and sexy which I sort of want myself to be like that. chey. A more important fact is that she's 19 years old. Bingo! done.

The problem is that Misa from the manga/anime has blonde hair and wears gothic lolita kinda of clothing. I didn't really want to spend money on getting clothes I won't wanna wear after this and I was not really willing to get a blonde wig. BUT>>>> Misa from the film series was not a blonde barbie! In fact, her outfit varies and is not too erm...extreme lol.

So, tada! This is the outcome. quite nice eh? :)

I guess it's almost zero cost to get this whole thing done. Black dress, stockings and heels were already mine and not newly bought. The only thing I bought was one metre of black ribbons for my hair? which was quite cheap. 

Toy apple was from my house and I made my own Death Note! Wheeeee how cool is that ;)

Let me explain briefly on how to make my own death note prop.

1) Get an exercise book. ( I got it free from the 'kolej shop' lol. can even do maths inside actually)

2) Wrap it with Black Sugar Paper. (again, I got sugar paper free from 'kolej shop'. lololol )

3) Print out the logo of the Death Note and cut out word by word. ( For my case, I was making the 2nd death note owned by Misa thus the wordings are different from Kira's death note)

4) Glue the cut-out wordings onto the exercise book. DONE!

smart leh lol. =)

Was trying to act cool :P  Sexy Hana behind me hehe.
P.S. did you notice that it's snowing? lol new X'mas effect from picnik. Go try!

The Charlie's angels (SS-ing) before the party. I think we all look good here :)

Entrance.
Let's party like there's no tomorrow! yeah ✌

Loving the awesome lightings.

See I so happy. lol.

Thinking of how the hell did I dance with an apple and a death note with me?
haha I just left them somewhere near a corner and went back to take them afterwards. simple as that.

Dancing with a camera was challenging, though. but who am I? Grace what :)

 

Despite my oh-so-sorry height, I think I look kind of chio here.

yeah :) ready for the battlefield.

Awesome KTJ peeps :)

THE END.



I was really proud of myself. Imagine that, dancing with high heels for 2 hours and then walk back to your house. I know,  because I'm cool like that :D  *slaps self*

The party was okay..it got pretty boring sometimes coz it's a school event inside the campus and thus no alcohol was allowed. Meh..........how to get high wor you tell me -.-  but yea, I enjoyed more on dolling-up and chillaxing with your classmates than squeezing with people with wet, smelly armpits.
