Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! 

Twilight fever?

I'd never been a Twilight fan or vampire fan or warewolf fan since the Twilight series had hit in year 2008. I just followed the trend and watched it in the cinema without a second thought nor fell for neither Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson, Jacob Black, Taylor Lautner, et cetera. But I(my friend helped me, actually) did bought the books back in year 2009, just for fun, thought I will have interest to read it and improve my English(I wish!) but it came out I just barely touched a few pages of Twilight and abandoned them in my bookshelf... 

UNTIL THREE WEEKS AGO!

I went to watch the part 1 of Breaking Dawn with Claire and I'm so curious with the ending so I thought, maybe it's time for me to read those books after so many years, huh? So, I dig through my bookshelf and found my long-abandoned books. 

I started to read Twilight, but not in rush, and New Moon, in slow progression, because it's my least favorite among all the movie series, but I found it was more interesting than the movie(obviously!). Then Eclipse, which is my favorite of them all, and the story was just fascinating! 

Finally at last, Breaking Dawn. I always wanted to read it faster but somehow I also scared of the end, like the end of the story, although I knew they would live happily ever after, but I will upset because it's finish. So I was in a dilemma when I finished Eclipse, thinking I should start reading Breaking Dawn right away or wait, until I could accept it's end. I started to read without waiting and so caught by the story line, so breath-taking and sometimes I need to slow down my heartbeat once in awhile. 

Bella has finally became a vampire.

Bella has super cool power.

She did a super great job when the Volturi came.

The other vampires with powers are super cool too.

One word to describe it, AMAZING.

I know I'm super late to read it after so long but, late is better than none! And I'm so glad I'd read it because it was the awesome-est story I've ever read! I think I'm just barely a fan because I just dedicated a blog post for it and do nothing else like a real Twilight fan.

But something has really bothered me for awhile is... Twilight the first book is slightly shorter and smaller than the others and obviously not the same publisher! Like, it's not one of them but actually it is! So I went to 'hunt' the book in several bookstore but they're ran out of stock. But that wouldn't stop me until I found it and they will be complete. 

Read it, and you will fall in love with it.

If you know what I mean for shorter and smaller...

Sometimes I wish I was a vampire. I wish.

Peace, Sophie.

The one I loved

I had been struggling to publish this post since it's so private and I never talk about this to anyone since then. But I have decided to publish it since this is my blog, and who cares what others think. And lastly, don't judge.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've read through XiaXue's blog post about Mike and she, THE Love Story, and I thought of my relationship with a guy in Canada, which is kinda similar to the pre-relationship of Wendy(aka XiaXue) and Mike. Just we didn't make it through to the day he comes. He was planning to come to Malaysia to visit me and was saving money at that moment. The difference was me and him were still young, which Wendy was already earning and was a little bit older than us at that moment.


I still remember I added him as friend in Facebook in August 2009, but we didn't chat until I found out he knows Mandarin and I chatted with him in Facebook in March 2010, out of curiosity. We started to chat about random stuff, but not everyday due to the different time zone, and then to MSN... We started to liking each other after a month+, and in May I was going on a vacation to China and Hong Kong for 5 days and I found out I missed him like hell. After I came back, he told me he was missing me too and that's the time we got much closer.


He stayed up late every night just to chat with me and webcam with me. We're so in love at that moment, but one thing I don't like about him was he got emotional pretty easily, which pissed me off. My friends were all thought that: that's not gonna work out, you're both too far away blah blah blah, but I didn't care. He was planning to come and I promised to bring him around, but that also stressed me out because I'm still in college and I don't have much time to accompany him when he comes. I started to feel miserable after a few months because of his absent in real life, I can just see him in webcam, but not touch or smell or anything.


I broke up with him in August 2010, which was, actually, I scolded him away! How cruel I was! I remember he was very upset about something, and his emotion made me upset too. We argued, he said I don't care much about him, he wants me to be more soft, which sometimes I didn't, like when he's angry and says he's going to sign off, he wants me to stop him, which usually I won't. Then I thought I couldn't live like that in the future, being controlled by his emotion, be the one he wants me to be, so I want to end this relationship as soon as possible before I fell even deep into it. He begged me, argued with me, begged me again, but I still very stubborn and want him to go and never come back(to me). I kept telling myself: you won't regret, you did the right thing, blah blah blah just to comfort myself but I had a really hard time for another 1 or 2 weeks. I know, deep in my heart, I love him more than anything, but I kept telling myself that he's not the one and it's very hard for a LDR, just to cut him out of my life.


I sometimes still feel very regret about letting him go, but what can I do now? That's my decision, and I'd hurt him so so much, I can't even imagine it. I looked back to our emails and our chats, every words by him was so full of passion, and love. Maybe I was too young to understand all about that, but for me, right now, I can feel how much passion and love he had put in those words, I just didn't realize it. Every emails he sent to me were like love letter, so long, and so passionate. At that time, I just can't accept so much of his love, when I can't give him back in return. His love made me breathless, and stress(I can see from my reply in those emails), that's why I wanted to let him go/leave him.


I was hardly regret in decision I've made in my life, but now, I'm super regret for letting him go. If I didn't, he would have came to Malaysia in last Christmas, and I would have spent my holiday in Canada after new year. I know I wouldn't change anything by writing this post, but I just wanna spit everything out here, the only place I can write anything I want. He's dating a girl in Canada now, and I'm very happy for him, since he looks happy being with her.

----------------------------------------------------------

Matt, even we didn't make through it, but thanks for the time you sacrificed your sleep and chat with me, accompany me and make me happy. I will always remember that moment, when we're so in love, like there's no distance between us. And thanks for the love you gave me. Sorry for hurting you so much, and hope you will forgive me.

Car crash

Today I was all so excited to go watch Puss in Boots with Claire and Grace, but I was still very distracted from the Twilight's story I had recently got into. I was distracted all the way when I was driving, maybe not all because of Bella and Edward but I just can't focus on the road, and when I almost reach the destination, I thought I missed the turn to the parking lot so I glanced to the side mirror and then I crashed the car in front of me.


It was a Chinese young guy(again) I ran the crashed into, and he's very kind and patient to wait for my dad to come, and not rude at all, like scold us and all that, which I'm very, very glad. I couldn't imagine if the guy is replaced with a... maybe a mid-aged Malay guy or Indian guy, not that it's bad or what but probably we can't communicate with my poor Malay language.


The front of my car's totally destroyed, with just a number of 25 left on the car plate. His car's rear and bumper were sag and the trunk couldn't open at all. He thought we're going to claim for car insurance so he was taking pictures and stuff, and I just stood there and do nothing. After he's done we pulled our car to the side and wait for my dad. My dad came after 30 minutes and told the guy we're not claiming for insurance and will settle things up with just money, because if we claim the car insurance, first, there's too many procedure that need to go through; second, I might have to stick my [P] for another two years; and third, the car won't be done well with those car repair workers that work for the insurance company(something like that).


I was totally in shock but the guy is so kind, he tried to calm me down and asked if we're all right. I was totally fine but Claire got a blue black on her knee, which is still fine. I'm so grateful that no one was hurt, and my dad didn't scold me at all. Regret that I didn't take some pictures of the car so that I can post it at here. And something I should be happy about, I got to repaint my car! So, what color should I paint? Black, white, or light baby pink?



Update: Joe saw her friend liked this photo that posted by that guy on her Facebook so I go to steal it. What a small world~

Still alive, Sophie

Hello everyone! How are you guys doing?
I'm currently having 4 months of holiday and am still slacking at home.
So, here's the question: Should I, or should not I find a job?


I was thinking of finding a job and earn some money, and not just slacking at home the whole day, or just spending the money
But if I go to work, I will have no time to spend with my friends and no time for shopping, movie and stuff!
And I hate going out on the weekends because it's always so crowded everywhere, so why should I earn when I have no time to spend?
Furthermore, my dad doesn't really agree for me to work, he wants me to maybe help out at home and he will pay me 'salary'.


At the other side, I want to earn some experience and learn something from working, it definitely will help when I graduate and interview for a job.
And the money I earn, I can't spend it but I can save it, right?
So I was thinking of finding a part time job that only works for half day, so I can go out on the other half day!
Brilliant right?


Although it won't earn much for a part time job, but a little is better than nothing, no?
Wish me luck!




Btw, it's Momo's birthday! Happy Birthday Momo! Love you always!

Sisters' day

It's been so long since I last hang out with my sisters, so we went shopping and lunch yesterday and had some fun time! And of course we brought Angela-the cutie pie, along with us this time!

 Claire the little sis

Joe and Angela! Angela was all so hype and laughed all the way in the ferry!

Look how cute she is! 

 

Mua. 

You can spot Angela's bottom teeth in this pic! She's so cute! 

Cutie pie and her coming-out baby teeth 

 

Waiting for Joe and Angela @Chili's for lunch. 

Appetizer: Tostada chips & Salsa

Mine, Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers 

 Claire's Monterey Chicken

The shops in the shopping mall had started to decorate in Christmas decoration and it's so festive, some of the shops even started to sell Christmas-ish packed product! It made me felt so happy to shop there or even just walk through the shops!

Promotion and sales are going to start everywhere and I can't to shop till drop! But first I need to find a job. Booyah D:

Oh yeah, my current nails color are Suzi Takes The Wheel by OPI Touring collection.

Loves, Sophie

Nails of the week

I just got my nails painted yesterday and this time is this two colors of OPI's Touring America Collection For Fall/Winter 2011 for my fingers and toes nails.

First, for my finger nails, A-taupe the Space Needle. It's a greenish brown or brownish green color, just like it's name, taupe. I think this color is perfect for fall because it's brown but green, just like the color of fall. I don't usually like the color green but this is just perfect!

Secondly, is Get in the Expresso Lane. I got this on my toes because I think it's dark enough to just stay on my toes, not that I won't get them on my fingers but it just looks better on toes at this time. It is a super dark brown color with a hint of green, but the green is not really obvious as I can tell, but it's still great too!

I'm totally loving these two colors and I'm going to try out the rest of the collections color if I can!






'till then, Sophie

An ordinary day... NOT!

Hey fellows! As the title said, it suppose to be an ordinary day for me: exams, pick up Claire's birthday present, manicure and pedicure, dinner with Jus and go home. What an ordinary day. But an incident happened and here comes my 'unordinary' day.

I DROVE INTO A DRAIN.

Superb, right? I was going to drop Jus home after our dinner but it's traffic time so we used another route which I'm not familiar to, and when I was driving through a small lane, my car's right front wheel goes into the drain! I was like OMGHHKP WHAT'S WRONG WHAT'S GOING ON AM I GONNA DIE MY DAD'S GONNA KILL ME! And the next thing go through my mind was: my dad is not here(FYI, he's in Singapore) and who's going to save me now? I'm so helpless and tried to open the door but I can't! I screamed and Jus said: you didn't unlock your car... OMG I'm so silly. Then I unlock and go out to see how serious is my car. Ya my car's right front wheel is all in this drain.

After that there's an Indian guy came and said if I pay him 50 Ringgit and he will pull my car out. But luckily there's a bunch of young guys around and they tell us not to accept it because there's another car just did exactly the same as mine and s/he got pulled out without paying the RM50. When I rejected him and don't know what to do, an angel came! An uncle who's passing by says he will help me to get my car out and ask those young fellows to lend a hand too. I was so touched and couldn't believe there's really someone who're willing to help and asking nothing in return. We tried twice and finally get my car out from the drain, Jus and I couldn't have thank them more! I'm so overwhelmed by their kindness and thank God this wasn't happen in China!

My car was fine and I'm still in one piece. I'm so glad this's happen near the night market and not some small and horrible alley or I will totally freak out. Thank God.






Loves, Sophie

Exams - Fighting!

Yeap, as the title said, it's my exams' month now and I've not been studying... Ya... I know I should but there's too much of distractions around me and I just can't focus on the books!

Here's my current situation. Blurry, and confused...

081011

I was chilling with my friends yesterday and a guy called and asked if I could accompany him to go to shop for some stuff for his trip. I told him I was with my friends so I declined him and said maybe next time will do. My friends thought when did I date a guy without them noticing and I said it was this guy blah blah blah and they got so high lol!

But that's not the point! The point is, he never finds me or go out with me or even met in almost 10 years although we're neighbor and knew each other since we're in primary school! We lost our contact since our last met when we're in primary school, but I just added him in Facebook as friend and that's when we got connected again.

After I declined him I asked him if he wanna join me and friends to chill and he did come, in 5 minutes. But he doesn't wanna come in to join me and friends after he reached. He just sat at the outdoor section and TEXTING with me. I even went out to ask him to join us but he refused to! Me and my friends were kinda pissed caz we think he should at least came in and say hi, right?! But he fcuking didn't! He said he's waiting for his friend and will join us after that but he didn't! Again! After that he just left without saying anything! What kind of guy is this? I thought he was a gentleman and nice but finally I've seen his real personalities!

PS: He's a Capricon too. But he's totally different from the one I loved before. I don't want to meet Capricon anymore! Love them and hate them! Ish..

Some updates and OPI collection

Sorry for my less consistency of blogging, I just either was busy or lazy or considered 'lifeless' for the past few weeks(so there's nothing to update). So here's an old photo of me, taken by Momo-chan.

For the past month I've been obsessed with nail polishes, apparently I always did but in the passed one month I bought so many nail polishes from OPI just to give myself some mani and pedicure when I am free. (I had a lot but none of them are from OPI)

The #1 colour I've bought is Tickle My France-Y. It's a purple-ish nude colour and I fell in love with it since the manicurist used it on my fingers for the first time! I still have it on my nails right now because I just love the colour so much. 

#2 is Heart Throb. It's very pinkish and bright, kinda like a bright and slightly baby pink colour. But you need to put at least three coats to make it looks a little more solid or it will be a little bit transparent, which is not so nice.

The #3 is one of my favourite, Suzi Loves Cowboys. It's just plain dark brown colour like the chocolate fondue, looks yummy. :D 

#4, I love Yokohama. It is a warm peach tone colour with fine glitter in it. It blends so well with my skin tone like a have really long fingers and no nails. lol

The #5 is Color so hot it Berns. It's OPI Swiss collection for fall in 2010 and it's a very bright hot red and I really LOVE it! It always makes my skin tone a tone fairer so it's my baby. ;P

#6, Princesses Rule. I love this colour so much and always had it on my nails for a few months last year but I thought it just not as pop up like the others. It's baby pink with fine glitter but it's not as solid too. 

The last but not least, Sweetheart by OPI. The milkiest pink I could ever found. It's the pink that always used to be french manicure pink. Love love love this colour although it doesn't go so well with my skin tone.

That's all for now, hope y'll liked it!

PINK

My favourite colour has always been pink since I was in primary school, before that I liked orange, and then red, and at last is pink. I want every of my accessories to be pink, as pink as possible. My pencil, pen, eraser, ruler, pencil case, school bags... I want them to be pink, but since I was so young, I can't really make it all 'pink', but at least I've tried and I was satisfied with it.


When I went into secondary school, I still remain the same, but something that can't be pink I won't make it pink, I just use the similar colour like red or purple, but definitely not blue. Not that I hate blur colour, but I just feel like blue isn't my colour. :/


So, as I grow older, I like more other colours like brown, white and black. But I'm still super obsess with everything that comes in pink, especially baby pink. I want everything to be pink, even my facial wash, shampoo, mouse, body lotion, like seriously, everything. If not, it would rather be brown, white or black.


But something really weird is, I don't like clothes that comes in pink, maybe it's because my skin tone doesn't fit or maybe I think it's too... bright? IDK I just not prefer pink for my clothes. But I still love accessories that come with pink colour though. ;)


I know I'm lame talk about pink or this random stuff all in a sudden, but I'm just really bored and thought I should write a blog post of the colour I love.
