Good Reads Quotes

早! :D

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

— E.B. White

What better way to start a day!

Have an awesome possum day everyone. <3

The New Best Friend (Updated)

It does feel like my blog became my newest best friend.

Always there when I need it. Except it doesn't talk back when I ask questions. I have Google for that so it doesn't matter.

I should really just go pierce the ears once and for all. Otherwise I keep wondering what it may be like.

** Okay lah, I fess up - I am too chicken to try. But that may actually be a good thing!

Gold nail polish for CNY this year - I have decided. Gold and glittery!

** The glittery polish I had on my toes before this was a pain to remove. A huge pain. So I am against glittery now. Shimmery gold it is. :D

I like looking at myself way. too. much. Is there a limit to how narcissistic a person can be before it becomes unhealthy? LOL

Still cannot comprehend why girls must wax! If I had it my way, I'd say girls shouldn't need to bother. Waxing is such a pain. And silky smooth legs / underarms are practically impossible to achieve! Adhering to social pressure sucks.

For this reason alone, I absolutely love winter!

I probably shouldn't be shopping. Since I don't need anything in particular. But nobody said shopping was only for necessities right?

But I really shouldn't lah.

Yay, I am RM52.70 Richer

Okay nvmd that random bit.

I am still in bed, haven't brush teeth, haven't looked in the mirror, but my gut feeling tells me it's a bad hair day today. T___T

And I totally am missing my long hair, screw fb photos lah thanks to viewing old photos throughout the past 7 months...

Yest, I had the opportunity, so to speak, to meet some rather un-nice human being. And I really really didn't like them, not one bit. I confirm would have said something along the lines of: Are you born that way or has life been that hard on you that you cannot be a nicer person??

But... my nicer side prevailed and the only bad thing I did was give them that 'I really don't like you' stare which I doubt they even bothered.

One thing I have been learning and trying very hard to practice, is to not pass judgement onto anyone and to love more, hate none.

Guess I semi failed at both of that yesterday.

But anyways. Apart from all of that, looking out the window...

It looks like a beautiful morning! :D

Like Finally

Okay, can't say I am ecstatic about going up the stage to collect my degree considering I already have my degree per say.

But I guess this is the ultimate sign that I have really seriously actually graduated.

So, April 10th 2011 at 9am it is!

Wohoo, yay me! :D

It Rained Today

As I was staring out the window while it was pouring some time midday today, I felt the urge to just run out and stand under the rain.

To just be soaked by it.

And then I caught myself asking, "Hold my hand will you?"

It certainly isn't my first time feeling lost. Unsure. Or insecure. But I felt like I would have appreciated a hand very much today.

There's more to it than I am willing to let on. And the very fact that I am saying this blatantly means I am craving for attention but so not in the mood for questions so please don't ask me anything Ai Li needs some personal time alone to think.

The Green Tea Latte from Starbucks was a good swap up from the normal caffeine fix. Totally sinful but totally worth it. While all the thinking by myself didn't make me any happier, the GTL sure worked wonders - minus the fact that I have a burnt tongue that's still feeling rather sore right now.

And perhaps it was the happy taste the latte left behind, it was Pokka Green Tea to end the night.

To a better tomorrow!

People Watching Is So Fun

And free WiFi rocks my socks.

On a side note, I have been spending way too much on coffee for my own good.

Just now, some random Chinese dude came up to me and asked if I understood Chinese. I pretended not to understand, I feel so bad. I hope he wasn't desperately in need for something.

I lagi hope I don't suddenly need to speak Chinese and he appears behind me.

I need a small computer. Lugging this one around is making me short.

Because I am defying gravity.

Good Morning

Okay, I have found myself something new to read whenever I get bored. And it's sorta kinda a continuation from the Monroe post..

GoodReads.Com

"Whenever I feel the need to exercise, I lie down until it goes away."

— Robert Maynard Hutchins

HAHAHAHA!!!

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

— A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

So cute can!

Reading all these reminds me slightly of how studying Psychology was like.

You read something, it makes sense and then you connect with it on a deeper level, and then you think, "Hey, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

Interesting isn't it?

I Honestly Should Be Sleeping Right Now

But this is simply too good a read and way appropriate to share! Although utterly random.

I never understood the fascination people had for Marilyn Monroe. But now I guess I do. And because of that, here's a photo of her made up of gazillion jelly beans!

Since I am already being random might as well go all out right? -_-

Anyway, all her quotes are pretty sweet, pun intended. These are some personal favorites.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

— Marilyn Monroe

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

— Marilyn Monroe

"You never know what life is like, until you have lived it."

— Marilyn Monroe

"It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you're not"

— Marilyn Monroe

And this seals it for me!

"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

— Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe, you're awesome!!

At 5pm On This Very Day

I feel like screaming my heart out for no apparent reason.

It's Not Emo, It's Self Reflection

I remember posting something along the lines of, "I must be doing something right... even if I am not aware of it".

Because why?

If I were to evaluate myself, I'd think I don't deserve a whole lot of things.

I tell people I am nice, I tell people I am good, I blurt out a whole load of self praise as if I am reading a script... Who doesn't! But fine, it's primarily because it's my nature, I was born narcissistic. And so are my brothers.

The result of self reflection though is that, who am I kidding!

I can't be good if I am doing something against my own conscience.

I can't be nice if I am doing things expecting something in return.

I can't be good if I know what I am doing isn't right but I still continue doing it.

You get the gist of it right?

Mmhmm...

So there. I don't believe I deserve a lot of things.

But because despite my own belief, people still love me for who I am and they see the good in me that I sometimes don't see in myself. For that, I thank God for them and I thank God for me.

It's about time to do the right thing.

Not A Recent Discovery

Blasting music in the car is absolutely therapeutic.

Call it instincts but things just aren't feeling right.

Magic Cards

Rebecca Bloomwood: When I was 7 most of my friends stopped believing in magic. That's when I first started. They were beautiful, they were happy. They didn't even need any money, they had magic cards.

- Confessions of a Shopaholic

I was referring to those magic cards.

Since I couldn't go back to sleep having woken up at 4 this morning, I decided to go through the pile of receipts I had conveniently hidden in the most inconspicuous places since I got back from the States. And...

(So ironic! Just as I was writing this, the radio was talking about credit card debt) -__-

... it is so scary that I dare not continue... T__T

The first on the pile was the lunch at TGI Friday's in Sunway which triggered all the subsequent times I simply took out the magic card, swiped, signed and went home a happy girl.

Now that I think about it, it was probably due to the collection of guilt and debt that my brain is subconsciously trying to make my conscience aware of! That's why I couldn't go back to sleep lah!

GG.com, not so happy anymore already...

I Think I Wanna Become A Race Car Driver

For the sake of the adrenalin rush. I think I am threading in dangerous waters.

I officially have an issue with our immigration department. The one in Putrajaya. It's a long story and I don't feel like elaborating but yesh, seriously so effing useless, pointless, and uuuuurgh.

*breathe*

Yup, I was saying, I think I wanna become a race car driver.

I Am Back

Wheee, missed me much?

Okay, I know you do even if you think you don't.

The red highlights have faded tremendously. Boo.

Anyway, time to catch up people!

Just don't comment on ugly tan lines when you see me...

Loves!

Heng, This is For You

Not that bad what!

Doesn't Like It When There's A Water Cut

Even Starbucks was affected. Way to go!

So I brushed my teeth using water from my drinking bottle and since there isn't any water, I didn't bother doing my dishes either. :P

Guess I don't have to shower today.

It's A Saturday Morning

And I can't don't want to get out of bed.

6 items on my To Do List thus far...

1. Get my new diary updated, have it wrapped prettily - Updated, but not wrapped. On second thoughts, don't think I'll have it wrapped this time.
2. Clear out the room, got a rat to catch T__T
3. Talk to Daddy about the camera - The Daddy said to try getting it repaired anyway. Boo!
   
   My waterproof Olympus died on me last year and I haven't had time to get it repaired so I went yesterday to the shop I bought it from and the guy there said it could be anything but he's guessing it's the motherboard and repair for it could cost me from RM200 to RM450. On top of that, I need to pay a handling fee of RM65 upfront.
   
   So the risk is, it can't be fixed, I lose my RM65. If it can be fixed, it is going to be at least another RM200, assuming the cheapest. So my rationalization says, just buy a new camera.
   
   
4. Donate caps
5. Have my most important meal of the day and do my quiet time - Checked
6. Call Heng - Checked; he called instead.
7. ...
8. ...
   

Time to get out of bed. *stretch*

*yawn* Good morning! :)
