magic.

I know ive been missing for a while, and frankly im not even sure if i really wanna keep this blog going, just coz im kinda lazy. So much has happened in the weeks (i meant months) that ive been missing. lets seee, well i FINALLY got the umbrella hat, durrie is so willing to wear it with me at the office. I've been to rootz a fair bit only coz we love to support our dear Jacob :), ermm i also went to his food court down at the basement of Lot 10, its nice!!
Ive.. well done nothing much. I quit my job at the end of November, i miss my work mates alot!! JOHANNNNAAA :( ever since i quit ive been traveling. Didnt get a chance to stop till today, 2 days more and im off to BRISBANE weee. I got offered a job there so i'll most likely be moving.
I spend way too much time listening to indies, watching indies and falling in and out of the illusion of love.

As time passes, I feel like the things I want in life has sort of (not entirely) changed. Growing up, all the things i used to hate thinking about, i'm thinking of now. As we age, we want different things in life. But somehow & sometimes, somethings remain the same. Life is always a roller coaster ride, but without all the ups and downs of life, we'll never really find our directions.. as to where we really want to go. The past few weeks has been really hard for me, with work especially and that led me to a different path, a path that made me so much happier and led me to unexpected places. My world just stopped one day and I knew I made the right decision. It gave me a reason to smile even when all I want to do is cry. Its so beautiful and magical and I will never regret or forget. I waited and waited for this day to come, its finally here and I have so many reasons to

JUMP.

lets talk about rooting!!

Alot of the times, issues about rooting are not addressed properly, especially in Malaysia where everyone is so uptight. However, it is very important for youth the understand some complex issues about rooting!

lets begin with the basics shall we (PS im no expert but hey, who says i cant share my ideas? they may be stupid but u can laugh about it, u can follow it relegiously, u can also think its a piece of shit but i dont give a crap what u think coz i landed the hottie, did u?)

Girls can chase boys too.

For girls who's head is stuck in the 80's (probably the year u were born yes?) WAKE UP we're already way past Y2k! Ideally it is nice having guys chase our little indecisive butts. It flatters us, makes us blush but when we dont know how to play the game, our little heart always seem to shatter. Yes i said GAME because most times, relationships and being chased is a game. How else will it be exciting? Whoever said we should take a relationship so seriously anyway? or even the chase?? Its silly when u cry over a boy who u've had a few dates with but didnt work out. Silly because u never really had him to begin with, so why cry? Secondly, you should have gone and dated so many more guys while dating this one that has the most potential, let him know whos boss and hey, ure entittled to options! Since when did we decide that guys should have a say on if they want us or not? We should be the one telling them if WE want them (i can picture may j going DAMN RIGHT ASH!!).

The point is, we SHOULD do the chasing too. Make the first attempt to lure him into ur web. Flatter him like he would u, play his game better and then say hey, lets ROOT! Guys do get turned on by a girl who knows what she wants. Dont be a sour pot all shy and all like "omg i dunno if i should bla bla bla" cut it woman! Just go to him, ask him for coffee hook up have a nice time say bye if hes a sucker and thats it. Plus, if he turns u down then u havent lost much except ur face which u can always gain back later when u walk around with someone MUCH MUCH hotter than that loser who said no. People dont get things because they sit around and wait for things to happen, its all about hard work. If u fall once, get back up learn the lesson and try again.

(I know many people will be thinking that talking is much easier than actually doing it, but have u even gathered up your courage and tried? I have and i landed a hot BF, he treats me like i'm the fucking sunshine in his life (he loves me sooo :) & we're still together 20 months!!.. jealous?)

I wont say that my heart has never been broken because it has. It wasnt broken, it was smashed to the ground beyond repair, but things look up as time passes and you become stronger eventually and then when the time is right, you'll find a great guy. Just dont sit around and wait for things to happen because they wont happen if u are not doing anything about it. If it makes u feel any better, our generation is filled with guys who are wusses/ mamas boy.. they dont even dare ask u out, u gotta do some heavy lifting, that way he'll know whos boss too! haha

tbc :)

because u dont know me

I am everything i want to be.

My sense of style is highly influenced by my ever changing character and portrayal of who i want to be today, funky, vintage, golden, girly (in a very non girly way), tough, hard core, model, haute, eccentric everyday.. u name it, ive got the outfit for it.

I love reading books, i love collecting books especially if they smell old and comes in hard cover, i love unique books with nice drawings, i love books of photography and art, i love books with no printing. Im an avid book & journal collector. I own probably 10 journals (and counting)in different sizes and designs (my fav. is by o-check), i draw on them i cry on them, i spray perfume on them.. in fact i think the book is more me than i am me. Owning journals and scribbling on them makes me feel artistic and then i am happy.

I'm also a crazy buyer of useless cameras for display on my way too messy counter top. My recent self deserving camera is the LOMO Diana F+. I did mention i love photography didnt I? I did. But the many functions and the very time consuming user guide puts me off so i just go right for the kill, snap snap snap, play around figure out, bug amanda then Wooaaalaaaaahh i've taken heaps of pics to put a smile on my face and think.. geee my money did not go to waste.

I love sports.. in my mind i do, physically i hate it. I do however love running, i do it every weekend if it doesnt rain. I always wanted to surf but never stayed long enough in summer to do it now i regret the fact that i didnt and im kicking myself about it. I just think that surfing looks really good. I will definately do it on my next trip to Melbourne and I will BEG whoever who wants to teach me to do it before i freak out and decide against it. Any water sports make a girl look hot.. water sports and beer.. HOT. Although i do have to admit that i am terrified of fishes and anything slimy.

I like guys who are scruffy looking, unshaven and bed hair turns me on, although kissing a unshaven guy is not so much fun, it gives me pimples. I love tatts on men but not full on ones, just some here and there is the cherry on top of my manly cake. Do not ask me for my number. U wont get it. I'm sometimes into girls. I like kissing them, they smell so nice, but the idea of being with them for more than a day makes me re-think..

I love music, i secretly wanna be a musician but i cant sing.. i can play the guitar but im not great at it im neither here or there, so i choose to listen to great music from bands like The Smiths, Death Cab for Cutie, Imogen Heap, The Postal Service, The Cure, The Doves and so much more. Im great at guitar heroes *wink*

I cant see properly at night, so u'll probably shit ur pants in my car at night. I love spicy food, I have a potty mouth and i swear.. pretty frequent. I cry easily but im not too emo. what else.. my tattoo is smudged but ill get another one once i decide what i want. I want cute babies but they all look like space monkeys the first few weeks. What else??.. oh.. i went on a date with a 50 yr old guy. that was fun
